A lawyer who recently came
to Columbus on business from
Cincinnati tells this story: "A
bailiff wont to levy on the con
tents of a Iiouho. The inven

"One net of chairs, (0) oak.
"One sideboard, ouk.
'Two bottlesof whisky, (full)"
Then tho word "full" wa

'empty," anil the inventory
went on in a hand that strug
gled and lurched diagonally
across the pugc until it closed
with:
'One revolving doormat."

HOUR OF STRESS
Here's a ruse fer Belgium,
For Belgium a sen?.
The first of that high oi niviny
That stood to fight the Wrong;
For her whose choice was wne and death,
Rather than ease and slianie;
And the rose is the world's love,
The song is her own name.
Here's a crown, a crown for France,
For France a great cry
The heart of that brave company
That rose to win or die;
For whose stake is life itself,
And all that life can give,
The crown is for her valor
The cry is "France shall live!"
Here's a toast for England,
For England a shoul,
U'ho for thai great company
Sent her bravest out;
For her who stands, with all her race,
A wall by land and sea;
The toast is "Faith and honor first !"
The shout is "Victory!"
Here's a heart for America,
And for her a star,
She who for that high company
Must send her sons afar;
She comes with one undying hope,
That all the world be free;
And the heart is yours and mine
The star is Liberty.
Here's a pledge for all the lands,
For great and small, a World,
Who in that noble company
The trumpet call have heard;
Whose sword and Hag, whose life and soul,
Are mighty to defend!
The pledge is "Death or Victory !"
The word is "To the end !" .

will mil In' able tn understand
how so large a pickle was ever
gotten into the neck of Hid
buttle, which will be many
times smaller than the pickle,
of course.
Here is the. way to do it. Se
led a bottle at least six or eight
inches long, round if you can
fi in 1 such a bottle, but n flat
one will do. Oo out to the gar
ten with your bottle and fuel u
tiny cucumber that will just go
into the, neck of your bottle. If
yon have no cucumbers select
a tiny 8itiush. or even a green
tomato. Do i ot pick the pickle
just push into the bottle and
leave it to grow on the vine.
Watch it and keep it pushed
further ami further into the
bottle from day to day until it
gets so big that it is all the bot
tl will hold. A tomato or
squash will flatten out and take
the shape of the bottle if you
koep pushing it in. Now when
the bottle is full you may cut it
from the vine and take it to
the house, If you wish to keep
the pickle in tho bottle for a
few months or a year you can
do so as well as not. Just mix
a tablespoon of suit with a half
cup of cold water, and fill the
bottle full, then push in a good
cork. 11 will then keep us long
as you can wish und you can
show it to your friends as a
curiosity which they will all
enjoy seeing. Youth's Com
panion.

JUST FOR TO-DAY
Lord, for tomorrow and its needs,
I do not pray;
Keep me, my God, from stain of sin,
Just for today;
Let me no wrong or idle word
Unthinking say;
Set Thou a seal upon my lips,
Just for today.
Lei me both diligently work,
And duly pray;
Let me be kind in word and deed,
Just for today;
Let me in season, Lord, be grave,
In season, gay;
Let me be Faithful to Thy grace,
Just for today.
In pain and sorrow's cleansing fires,
Brief be my stay;
Oh, bid me if today I die,
Come home today;
So, for tomorrow and its needs,
I do not pray.
But keep me, guide me, love me, Lord
Just for today.

A LEAP FOR LIFE,
A British observation balloon, anchored ai il.e U'cmcIh huiu, lia
its cables cut by enemy aeroplanes, and the balloon soared thousands
of feet upward into the clouds. A wriicr in the London Mail, who
witnessed the incident, describes wh.ii followed. From the point where
il vanished, he says, we presently siw one small speck, then another,
dropping from the clouds. For some hundreds of hei they fell like
dead weights, then parachutes opened, and the specks, now revealed
as men, were steadied in their earthward course, Kuaiing rapidly, bu
safely, to the ground.
After the balloon got free, they had desiroyed their papers and in
struments, clambered over the side of the basket, and leaped for life
into the great void beneath them, trusting thai the parachutes strapped
round their waists would open when they should.
Think of that desperate spring into ihe vast, gray vapory nothing.
ncss beneath the Dalloon; ihe feelings of the men as they made it, un
certain of what would happen; the awful sensation of casting yourself
blindly from such an appalling height with ihe knowledge that only f
flimsy piece of material, which might act rightly and might not, inter
vened between yoi 'ell nd a crash into the earth many thousands of
feel below; the tense airaui of the stone like drop through two hundred
feci nf ihe void before ihe parachute opened, and then the anxious
mental auery, through the later stageaof the descent: "What shall I
light upon?" a matter of supreme consequence that chance governs
absolutely, in this case, the men made a sate landing.
