"It noticed In a department store today
numerous devices to make life easier for
the bachelor," begins Brightside, as the
light of the Harlem flat enter to Instruct
his parent In the lateit doings of the day.
"Why get married when a chap can get
I all the comforts of home at marked down
prices?" Is Bon's retort courteous as he
lights up the usual "coffin nail."
"When I was a young man," Father re
sumes In a rem in lucent mood, "Hie was
pretty uncomfortable for an unmarried
nan."
"liven the married man ueed to kick In
those days, 1 suppose?" surmlnes Son.
"You hear a lot of hot air about the gojd
14 days, but take It from me these are
the bappy times right now In little old
New York. A married man can sidestep
ilia troubles If he knows the good places
just as easy as the kid not tied to a skirt."
"One of the devices I saw," continues
i Father, "was an alchoho! lamp with
: pressing Iron attachment, with which a
fcaohelor could ba his own tailor for U
oents a week."
"That kind of a stunt ought to make a
big bit with about a million of these candy
kids," says Bon. "The hall room piker
can press his ore pair of pants without
going down street with a bundle and wait
ing in a back room until his turn comes at
the tailor's. The six-bucks-a-week boys
will certainly come across for one of the
Irons, even If they have to do It on the
Installment plan."
"Well, I like to see young men take
, pride In the way they dress,' approves
Father.
"These klddoes that curl their hair and
shins their own shoes ought to get medals
pinned on 'em by the Society for the Pro
motion of Economy,' advocates Bon.
"A man can make a neat appearance
without being a fop,' la Father's belief.
"Tha boys that carry a cloth to polish
the dust off their lids when they think
a dame Is looking, or a comb to fix up
their bangs, get my goat," scoffs Bon. "I
like to sea a chap keep his face and hands
Clean and buy a 6-cent shine once a
month and let It go at that."
'There was a very complete mending
outfit for the lone bachelor," resumes
Father, further describing the aids to a
happy bachelorhood.
"I'd Ilka to aee a moving picture of a
bachelor darning a hole In his sock," says
Son; "It ought to draw as big a crowd as
the tight pictures. As for sewing on" but

How She Keeps Her Garden in
Bloom Later than Her Neighbors
A garden blooming two weeks later than
thoa of her other country neighbors was
an achievement last autumn of a woman
who expects to repeat It this year by tha
same successful means. Coverings of
cheesecloth kept off frost night after nlghi,
and sha did not find It much work to
stretch tha cloth over In the lata afternoon.
Tha beds of her garden are of varying
atses and shapes, but moot of thera are
oblong. At the four corners of each shs
bad tall stakes driven, putting two extra
takes In the middle of those beds which
wera mora than ten feet long. Tha stake
stood about a foot higher than the tallest
growth In tha beds. Some of tha flowers
war cosmos.
Taking- oheeeeeloth la lengths long enough
to cover not only the beds, but tha reach
from tha ground to tha stakes at both ends
ha stitched tha selvages together so that
tha covering might ba wide enough.
Through tha ends of the breadths shs ran a
deep bam to . hold a small stick heavy
enough to keep tha cloth down. To savs
continual hunting for cords sha fastened
two tapes at each edge. Just where they

price than to thread a needle and try u
spear holes In their fingers."
"Another new Invention that struck mc
as being most useful was a combination
wire hanger to hold half a dosen suits of
clothes," adds Father.
"Any bachelor who can afford to have
that many clothes doesn't need to get mar
ried," declares Son. "If a fellow hap
pened to get stung Into buying a rack tike
that he'd probably hang up his one suit
In It about once a month. After coming
home early some morning after a roundup
of the very best highball dispensaries It
would be great exercise to try to skin the

cat on the coat hangers. Outside of that
I can't see much use for It."
"A- bachelor's establishment ought to ba
Just as orderly as that of a spinster." urges
Father.
"If a chao could keep his little furnished
room In apple-pie order," asserts Bon, "the
marriage license bureau would soon go out
of business. If the dames wera wise they'd
boycott stores that sold those conveniences
for bachelors. It's the lack of all the
conveniences of horns that drives us men
to commit matrimony. The cosier they
make the hall room the harder the skirts
will have to coax to get us to sign the
papers to pay rent for a flat the rest of
our lives."

Text Gal. 1:20 "Nevertheless I live; yet
ot I. but Christ, llveth In me."
The Incarnation whereby God presented
and revealed Himself through Jesus Christ
wss a long step forward In the Father's
plans of helpfulness 'to man.
Through Jesus Christ, a knowledge of His
character and a, knowledge of ills life as
seen through His gracious ministry, we
come to know the Father. "He that hath
seen me hath seen the Father," said Jesus
to Philip.
Helpful as Is a knowledge of the
Father, there Is still a further thing need
ful In order to have consummated God's
greet plsn for us. Another Incarnation is
needed, one wheretn God Incarnates Him
self within us; that as God lived, worked
snd rsvesled Himself through Jesus Christ,
so Hs may live, work and reveal Himself
through us to ths full extent of our capa
city to receive and communicate Htm a
condition wherein God's mind Is thinking
In our brain, wherein God Is manifesting
Himself through us, wherein God is con
tinuing His work by us.
8uch a goodly condition In grace dirt Paul
claim to have attained: "Nevertheless Ii
live; yet not I, but Christ, llveth in me."
It puts cheer and heart within us to
know that it is the purpose of God to In
carnate Himself within us; that He would
cloths Himself with our form, our body,
reveal Himself in us and through us; not
to tha aama degree of fullness and power
that He did in Jesus Christ, but In a de
gree proportionate to our capacity to re
ceive, to reveal and to communicate Him;
a real Incarnation and Indwelling of God
within us, swaying our wills, purifying our
characters, bringing us Into perfeot har
mony with His own will, making ou char
acters to reveal and exhibit Hla '
When the disciples wera sorrowful over
the fact of the going away ot their Master,
Jesus attempted to encourage and oomfort
them with this promise: "And I will pray
the Father and Hs shall give you another
comforter that He may ablda with you for
ever; even tha spirit of truth, whom ths
world cannot receive, because It seeth Him
not, neither knoweth Him; but ya know
Him. for Ha dwelleth with you and shall
be In you." Jesus would depart, but God
would continue to abide with men In the
person of the holy spirit, which would ba
tha third step In the process of God's rev
elation of Hlmaelf. In Old Testament times
God manifested Himself through prophet
and heavenly messenger, from whtch man
got only a vague conception of His char
acter, knew Him only as Creator and
Father. In Jesus Christ Hs gava a clearer
and fuller manifestation of Himself, when
man cams to know Him as a God of com
passion and love.
Than with His coming to Incarnate Him
self within us through tha holy spirit, do
wo have a personal and conscious revela
tion of God and a ona frought with great
activity and glorious results. "Ha that be
lleth In ma. tha works that I do shall ha
do also, and greater works thsn thess
shall ha do," said Jesus. How can this
be, except God incarnate Himself in ths be
liever and work with His power and grace
through hlra? Whatever alsa tha disciples
were conscious of on tha day of Pentecost,
this ons thing they must have clearly rec
ognised: that God was Incarnate within
them, that while they lived and spoke and
wrought, yet it was not they themselves,
but God, that lived and spoke and wrought
through them.
Paul, in pointing out to tha Corinthians
the great wrong of Injuring God's people,
said: "Ye ara tha temple of God and tha
spirit of God dwelleth in you" teaching
that tha believer la tha holy place where
God would dwell and from which emi
nates that which reveals His power and
goodness.

T. S. Bosnian, Pastor Walnut
Bill Methodist Spisoopal Church.
Dr. Stalker tells us that Christianity had
In Jesus Its perfect model of human char
acter, but until It reached Paul it had not
shown what It could do with an Imperfect
human nature, and that Paul was chosen
for that purpose; that through him God
might demonstrate what He could do with
man. Bo He takes Paul, "the chief of
sinners," does a mighty work of grace for
him. Incarnates Himself within him, con
trollng his will, cleansing his character
and bringing him Into complete harmony
with His own will so that this man, once
'the chief among sinners," now says:
'Nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ,
llveth In me." These Inoldents of scripture,
with many other kindred ones familiar to
us, Indicate the trend of God's great pur
pose concerning us.
Growing out of this purpose of God to
Incarnate Himself In human life ara some
obvious lessons.
It helps us to a correot Idea of God In
His relations to us. At times when God
delays In His answers to our prayer,
when He tarries that greater things may
do accomplished when Hs does act, as
Jesus did when called to see Lazarus, his
friend, who was sick, when Hs hides Hlm-

self behind a frowning providence, we are
apt to think that God has estranged Him
self, gone far from us; but not so. for lie
la never nesrer to us than at such times.
He walks with, us with so gentle tread;
He dwells within Us in such a quiet way.
but always guiding, helping snd sustaining.
He makes common cause with us In all
things that concern our welfare; like a
teacher who Is trying to enter Into the life
of a child, seeks some point of contact and
common Interest from which she can easily
lead the child up through various steps
into the light, does God seek a point of
contact with us, something in which Hs
can make common cause with us. then pa
tiently helping us on and up step by step
to perfect manhood. In accomplishing this
gracious work for us and In us. He works
at "close rsnge," dwells within us. Incar
nates Himself In our life.
It is God's only wsy of lifting us. A rev
elation In tha abstract, a Christianity on
tha long-distance" plan would not lift us;
it would be of no avail, because of our
weakened and, sinful natures and of our
utter inability to lift ourselves toward Ood
or to a higher humanity or to a purer
life. God must reach humanity with the
concrete, as He did in Jeeus Christ and as
He Is doing today through the holy spirit.
Ha must touch our life, come into It to
vitalize, energize and quicken it, incarnate
Himself within us, see through our eyes,
hear with our ears, speak with our Hps,
work with our bands and be the ruling,
permeating and dynamic force of our life.
Only by such a process could God lift Paul
from a condition where he was "chief
among sinners" to a condition where he
was "chief among saints. And only by
such a process can He lift us out of con
ditions that may retard or forbid our at
taining to noblest manhood and largest
degree of usefulness up to those condi
tions that afford us inspiration and oppor
tunity corresponding to God's expectation
of us.
Oh, that wa might be willing for God's
great purpose to be wrought out In our
Uveal In speaking of the limitations which
Christ took upon Himself In His Incarna
tion that He might revei God to man,
Paul goes on to admonish: "Let this mind
ba In you which was also In Jesus Christ"
He who was equal with God, but willing
to taks upon Himself limitations, to reduce,
to lessen Himself to fit tha capacity of
human nature, be born of woman, Uva
among sinful men and dla upon tha cross.
Then In his ministry His willingness to
axalt tha Father: "I came not to do my
own will, but tha 'will of Him who sent
me." Then in the working of Hla greatest
miracle, when tha crowd had assembled,
tha stone rolled away 'and He was about
to call Lazarus back. Ha ' stops to pray
unto tha Father, not because Hs needed
to do so, but that Ha might put Him
uppermost In tha thought of the people.
As Christ was witling to fully meet all
conditions that ha might come Into human
nature and reveal tha Father, likewise let
us ba willing to meet conditions that God
may Incarnate Himself In us. Paul gives
us a splendid example of this willingness.
Chosen as hs was by his co-reitglonlsts to
lead In their schemes of persecution of
Christianity, yet when he la convinced of
tha Father's greater plans for him and
that his lite could ba better Invested, hs
willingly yields and from that time on It
is his supreme delight to do the will of
Ood. "I am crucified with Christ," says
he; as Christ died upon the cross, so did
Paul die to self that God might Incarnate
Himself within him and work out to Its full
consummation His great purpose concern
ing him. Paul let God have His way,
"Nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ,
llveth In me."
May wa ba willing as was Paul.
The eleventhannual tournament of the
United Mtatea Revolver association is now
being held In the various large cities of
the country. This tournament is held
under the auspices of tha constituent clubs
of the association, and Is but ona ot scores
of Important agencies rr the encourage-
j ment of marksmanship with small arms.
The National Rifle Association of America,
with its big meetings at Seagirt and Camp
Prry, together with Its various state
meetings, is accomplishing a vsst desl in
making good marksmen. For a full genera
tion there have not been so many expert
riflemen In the United States ss there are
today. In the old days, when every man
had hla trusty flint-lock and could bs de
pended upon to bore out tha eye of a
qulrrel In a tall tree, thera was no need
of prizes to encourage men to become good
marskmen. Tha game life of tha forest
and tha neighborhood shooting bees did
that.
Aside from the revolver and rifle matches
there Is another agency that Is doing much
to make the cltlsens who constitute the
unorganised militia of the country efflci
ent handlers of small arms. This agency
is the National Association of Trap-shoot-rs.
There are several thousand gun clubs
In the United States which have frequent
contests, some with clay pistons, others
with Uva birds, and still others with tar
gets. September is one of the greatest
months of the year for trap shooting and
there are no less than fifty local events
scheduled for the month. Troy. N. T., has
an Important shoot for today; Bellalres
Grove. Mo., and Lowell, Ind., for Septem
ber 25 and 28; Guthrie, Okl., for the 20 and
Z7, and Toledo, O., and Decatur. 111., for
the 27, 28 and 29.
The great American handicap, which Is
the blue ribbon event of the trap shooting
world, was held In Chicago in June. More
than 300 shooters took part In tha various
events of the meeting. For tha first time
in tha history of tha hsndlcsp It was won
with a perfect score. Riley Thompson, ona
of tha best amateur marksmen of the
United State, made a clean record of 100
straight. His closest competitor was Har
vey McMurchey, who made ninety-nine
hits out of a possible 100. This was the
first time that the handicap was ever lost
on so excellent a imn n.i
.w. uui-v oeiore
has first honor reached even as high as
me ninety-nine which was second honor
In this shoot More than 1270m ,.,..
were shot at during the meeting.
ai. trap shooting events throughout the
United States ars conducted under the
rules of the Interstate association. This
wss organized a number of years aro, and
under Its activities nearly every former
world record has been broken. In 1909
many former records were shattered and
the year marked a hlirher order of marks
manshlp than was ever before displayed.
But the successes of 1909 have been eclipsed
by those of the present year. Even the
women have been displaying unusual skill
In tha art ot shooting, and Mrs. A. Topper
weln of San Antonio, Tex., hit M targets
out of a possible 100.
In tha ahoot held at Betterton, Md., the
latter part of . July. H. 8. Welles set
a world's record by shooting IKS targets
without a miss, ths previous record having
been held by J. Mowell Hawkins, with 12S
straight Edward E. Hargest. a 12-year-old
boy of Baltimore, Md., is thought to hold
the record for a child of his ags. In a
recent contest he hit 87 out of 100 at one
time and 43 out of 50 at another time. The
results of trap shooting with clay pigeons
In ths United States have been so satis
factory that the English have been led
to adopt the clay target, and the sport Is
growing ss popular on the other side as It
Is In the United States.
In the United States thera ara two sys
tems of awarding prizes in target fhootlng.
One system Is known as the Jack Rabbit
and the other as the Money Back. Under
the former entrants ars paid according to
the scores they maks. Under the latter
the entrance tea Is returned to those who
do not win enough prize money to pay for
the fee. The experts do not ilka tha Jack
Rabbit system, contending thst It does not
pay them well enough for their skill. But
In spite of some dissatisfaction with the
prize allotting systems in vogue, there
never have been so many trap shooters as
there are today, nor have the records of
the rank and file, as well as those of the
prize winners, been as high as they are
now. This shows conclusively that export
marksmanship la answering to tha methods
of stimulation adopted by the various or
ganizations. Ths object of tha National Rifle associ
ation of the United States is particularly
to encourage marksmanship among Indi
viduals who would ba ' needed as sharp
shooters In cass of war. Ths association
advocates a program which Includes ths

army rifles to thosa who will use them
under proper auspices. It would have tha
government Issue 1,000.000 such rifles to In
dividual marksmen and thus of for better
support to tha cause of marksmanship than
it does now. It Is pointed out that thera
ara at present about 100 universities, col
leges and schools In the United States
where army officers are detailed and that
thee institutions have an enrollment In
their military departments of about 3.000
students. Of these only i.itt receive out
door shooting practice snd gallery
practice. In addition to these public Insti
tutions there are twenty-eight military
Institutions, with an enrollment of 2,(00. It
Is the aim of the rifle association to fur
nish each ot these students with s gun
and make Mm as efficient In handling It as
a sharpshooter would need to be In case
of war.
Tha officials of ths rifle association well
may strive to promote efftloeney tn the
handling of smsll arms, for oftsn the re
sult of a battle, it Indeed not the outcome
ot a wsr, depends upon tha efficiency cf
the sharpshooter. In the Boer war the
highly trained troops of r.he English gov
ernment could not meet, on equal terms,
the South African farmers who had 'shoul
dered their guns in defense ot their homes.
It was the ability of the Boers as sharp
shooters that put the English to such dis
advantage, and forced the mother country
to use such vast armies In conquering
them. In the bsttle ot Gettysburg ths
confederate sharpshooters nearly succeeded
In turning the tide ot battle on the after
noon of the second day. Safely ensronsed
behind the huge boulders of Devil's Den,
they picked off ths gunners of ths federal
forces on the rocky northern slops ot Little
Round Top ss fast as they sought to man
ths guns. Thus ths northern artillery was
rendered almost useless, and It was only
by pitting their sharpshotters against thoss
of ths confederscy that the federals were
able to use their artillery effectively on
Little Round Top. If this had not been
done, the night of the second day certainly
would have found Longstrect's men In pos
session of Little Round Top, the key to
the federal position. Had this stronghold
been tsken, the story of ths victory would
In all probability have been a different one.
It has been calculated by army statis
ticians that Tor every man hit In battle
from small-arm fire, there are from 8,000
to 6,000 shots fired. It Is said that with
the Increasing distance at which troops en
gage In battle, due to more efficient equip
ment being used, the proportion of mlses
to hits Is becoming even greater. In such
a situation It becomes all the more neces
sary that there shall ba thorough training
of the citizens who are to make up our
army In case of future war. Not long ago
the Austrian School of Musketry deter
mined to make an exhaustive experiment
with a view of ascertaining ths Influence of
fatigue on marksmanship. A squad of men
on bicycles rode sixty-five miles in eight -hours,
after having shot several rounds at
the targets. Whsn they returned they were
wesry looking bunch of soldiers, but In
tha shooting that followed It wss disclosed
that ths strenuous march had affected the
accuracy of their aim but little. In ths
case of raw recruits it was found to be dif
ferent They could not shoot nearly so well
after a forced march as they were able to '
do before.
Revolver shooting Is bscoming mors and
more appreciated in army circles, and this
arm Is rapidly succeeding tha sabre and tha
lance In the equipment of the cavalry. It
has been found that tha Improvements mads
In these small arms have brought with
them an accuracy of aim heretofore
thought Impossible. The saber and tba
lanca ara useful only In the closest hand-to-hand
combat, while tha revolver or the
magazine pistol may ba used at a distance
of many paces. All nations ara equipping
their cavalry troops with these light arms,
and It is probable that tha day is not
far distant when tha saber will be one of
the things of the past In cavalry equip
ment It has been the claim for many years
that tha poorest marksmen in the world
are to be found on the police forces of the
urban communities. There has been much
to Justify this assertion. But during ths
last few years In many communities re
volver practice has been required of the
policemen and prises given for efflclenoy.
