Loretta's Looking
What,' peculiar kink Is It In some girls
that makes them enjoy torturing others?
The dreadful propensity always manifests
Itself when two of them are together, and
when one Is a kind of satellite, or a lees
courageous Individual. The other seems to
think she Is doing something clever when
he becomes positively obnoxious with the
negative approval and support of the quiet
on to egg her on.

The Girl appeared to be Instantly con

some observation to the negative friend.
Th negative friend smiled palely. Wltb
eyes fixed on the flowers the Girl began
to smile. The lady caught her look and
half smiled in return, thinking possibly
that the Girl was some on she had met
and did not recall.

Horses Still Gain in Value
In spite of the rapid growth of the auto
mobile Industry and the many predictions
that th machines hav sounded the death
knell of the horse, old Dobbin and young
Dobbin are steadily Increasing in value.
According to th government report th
average value of horses In th United
States Is $11.87. which Is nearly 3 more than
It waa In 1910.
Since 1900, when th automobile began to
be regarded less as a toy and more as a
posslbl necessity, th average value of
horse has Increased from $44.61 a gain of
$77.07 a head. Th gain was kept up every
year except one, when there was a loss of
10 cents a head between 1907 and UOt.
The period from 1894 to 1901 was th low
water mark for horses. In 1K?7 the average
value dropped to $31.61. During the years
1835, ISM, 1897 and 186$ th figures were
under $40 for the only time In the history
of this country.
Although Illinois I th first state with
respect to the number of horses, th most

The law justifying one person In the
killing of another has required th seri
ous consideration of every country. Every
criminal code provides certain punishments
for homicide, and many of them graduate
the punishment with minute particularity,
according to the circumstances of th kill
ing, so that any one of slz crime may
be involved In a single tragedy. Such
codes also attempt to define what killing
is justifiable and what is exousable and
with their interpretation by the court
attempt to describe the only conditions
under which one human being can kill
another and not be guilty of crime.
It Is an unwritten law among the of

officer kills a superior officer because that
officer has publicly degraded him by stiikr

John 14:77: "Peace 1 leave with you. mv

before the crucifixion that Christ offered
this legacy. (Text.) John 16:33. Passing
through the dark shades of Oethsemane
and the terrible scenea of Calvary, we
come near to the tomb after Christ had
of the girl's look.
But the girl was Immune to reproving
glances. And her negative companion waa
too wlahywashy to do more than submit
to acting as her silent support It was not
long before the side remarks which no one
could hear, but which could hav produced
no more discomfort if they had been care
fully enunciated the giggles of the nega
tive girl and the efforts at appearing un
conscious which the lady made, had at
tracted the attention of th passengers.
And th Girl seemed to like the effect she
was producing.
She was quite carried away with the
dangerous pastime of acting "smart." It
is altogether probable that she failed to
realise that she waa making herself de
spised and hated by the other passengers.
She was flattered by the giggling approval
of her companion Into forgetfulneas of
everything else, if she thought at all. It
was that her youth excused her "high
spirits," which mad a jest of one of her
own sex who waa so plainly a lady.
Suddenly th unexpected happened. A
young boy of IE or 16 stood up In the aisle.
"If you war a boy, I'd smash your
face!" he flared, hi young face red with
th struggle ha was having with hi na
tural politeness and his Indignation at th
girl's treatment of an old woman.
If the burning blush that rose In the
Girl's cheek could have accomplished the
facial Injury that the boy suggested, the
Girl would have been permanently dis
figured. I venture to say It will be some
time before she lets her "youth" and her
"love of fun" make game of her fellow
passengers on a street car, especially If
there are any boy.

Third For what given: "Let not your
heart be troubled." This legacy waa In
tended to develop faith In Christ, thereby
removing trouble. Paul said "We glory
In tribulation," not afterwards!. Christ
said. "My Father Is the husbandman,"
therefore in His hand Is the pruning
Ifriife. His gentle hand Is on the pulse
when the operation la going on. "Who are
these in white apparel?' asks the beloved
disciple In the Apocalypse. "These are they
who have come out of tribulation." Hcb.
12:5-11.
This legacy should also make us thank
ful In trial. A Christian sailor who lost
one limb In hattle said that he could very
often measure the faith of thoie who ron
ve sed with him by the way n which they
referred to his misfortune. Nine out of
ten would exclaim, "What a pity you lost
your limb," and only one In ten would
say, "What a bleaalng that both were not
taken."
This peace that Jesus has paid for by
Hla blood ought to make us unselfish.
A beautiful Easter legend tells us the
following. A Hindoo woman lost her only
child. Wild w.th g.ief she Implored the
prophet to give back her little one. He
looked at her tenderly, saying, "My daugh
ter, bring me a handful of rice from a
house into which death has never entered
and I will do as thou deslrest." Suffice it
to say. after much earnest but unsuccess
ful search, gradually the grief subsided.
but only to be replaced by compassion and
sympathy. Oh, for the power to ap
propriate aright the peace of Christ.
This peace should also keep us from bor
rowing trouble. A noted evangelist used
the following to Illustrate this thought:
"A little girl waa sitting beside a very
deep well, and she was crying. Some
one passing asked her why she erled. She
said, 'I was thinking what a terrible thing
It would be if I got married and had a
little girl and she would fall ddown this
welt.' " Surely some of us need more
faith to leave the future to Christ. He has
plainly assured His children on earth that
the "Kingdom of heaven is within them."
Fourth To whom given: "You" (disci
ples), but the disciples were not privileged
to keep this gift to themselves. They
were commanded to "Go Into all the world
and preach., the gospel to every creature."
Thus- - every one that receives the gospel
receives this gift or legacy.
How ars legacies generally received? In
one of two ways: either through tie of
blood or by legal adoption We were once the
children of God, but we have sinned away
the day of grace. The only way for us to
share this inheritance Is to become adopted
by the Father through Hla Son. This
mean faith. John 1:12, John $:16, Rom.
10:9-10, Isa. 65:1.
Let us make suio that this blood-bought
privilege is ours.

Tabloid History
Jam K, Polk, our eleventh president,
waa born In North Carolina In 17K5. and
died In Mel, He Was descended from
Robert Polk of Pollock, an Irishman who
migrated to America In early Colonial
limes. James was brought up on hi fath
er s farm, assisting him on his surveying
expedition.
After his college day he studied law
and was appointed governor of the ter
ritory of Florida by Andrew Javkson. He
waa afterward governor of North Caro
lina and then United Btatea senator, tak
ing seat In th nineteenth congress
as one of th youngest members. From
1AM until 1AS0 he was speaker of th bouse
of representatives,
He waa Inaugurated on March 4, 1845,
and the subsequent admlnsltratlun was an
eventful one. On th Fourth of July, that
earn year, the legislature of Texas ap
proved the "Annexation UM,, passed by
the congress of th United States, and by
this act of approval Texas became one of
th United State.
President Polk Immediately obdaced
General Taylor to proceed with his army
to th Rio Grande for the protection of
the new atate. The Mexicans crossed the
liver, and the war with Mexico ensued.
This lasted until February of 1848, when
a treaty of peace was signed by which th
