The Italian Cabinet resigned last
week, giving as a reason that it did
not have the unanimous assent of the
constitutional parties regarding its in
ternational policy. King Victor Eman
uel, however, refused to accept the
resignation of Premier Salandra, and
he with Baron Sonino, the foreign
minister, will remain in power.
MODERN PARABLES RELATED
BY REV. BILLY SUNDAY
A man was walking along the road
nd saw seven little devils hopping
about on the roof of a little cottage. A
little further on he saw one httl? c.evil
perched against the chimney of a
great big building. The lone little
devil was asleep. And as he was look
ing, wondering, down the road came a
great big devil rushing along like a
red automobible.
"Hey!" the man yelled; "stop a min
ute, will you? I want to ask you
something."
"Well, hurry up," the big devil raid,
I haven't got much time."
"How is it that there are seven lit
tle devils on the roof of that little
building and only one on the big one?'
"Oh!" the big devil said, "that big
building is a fashionable church. The
preacher there doesn't believe in the
divinity of Jesus Christ. Ho preaches
that good books, clean living and that
sort of thing will take you to Her.veri,
It only tatces one devil to take care of
that crowd and he can sleep on the
job.
"But that little building is the home
of a God-fearing man and his wife.
I'm on my way now to stir up those
seven little devils and see if some
thing can't be done."
I once read the story of an angel
who stole out of Heaven one day and
came to this world one bright sun
shiny day; roamed through the fields,
forests, hamlets and cities, and as the
sun went down plumed his wings for
the return flight. The angel said:
Now that my visit is over, before I
return I must gather some mementoes
of my trip." He looked at the beauti
ful flowers in the garden and said,
"How lovely and fragrant!" and
plucked the rarest roses and made a
bouquet and said: "I see nothing
more beautiful and fragrant than
these flowers."
The angel looked further and saw
a bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked child and
said: "That baby is prettier than the
flowers; I will take that, too," and
looking beyond to the cradle, he saw
a mother's love pouring out over her
babe like a gushing spring, and the
angel Si.id: "The mother's love i3 the
prettiest thing I have seen; I will
take that, too."
And with these three treasures the
heavenly messenger winged his flight
to the pearly gates, saying: "Before I
go in I must examine the mementoes
of my trip to the earth." He looked at
the flowers; they had withered. He
looked Pt the baby's smile, and it had
faded. He looked at the mother's love,
and it shown in all its pristine beauty
The he threw away the withered
flowers, cast aside the faded smile.
and with the mother's love pressed to
his heart, swept through the gates in
to the city, shouting that the only
thing that he had found that would re
tain its fragrance from earth to HeaV'
en is a mother's love.
When God gave you the office of
mother it was almost the same as if
He had given you His right hand.
Did you ever hear or read that story
told by Count Tolstoi? He tells of a
man to whom the government would
give a piece of land as long as the dis
tance he could traverse and retraverse
between the rising and setting of the
sun. And as the sun came tripping
over the banks, the signal was given
and away the man ran, over the hills
and valleys, on and on.
In the distance he saw what at first
he thought was a mirage, but what
proved to be a lake. He leaped into a
canoe p.nd nadd'ed to the farther side;
he leaped out and said: "Ah! that is
mine." On and on he ran, over the
hills and valleys, driven by cupidity
avarice and greed. When at last he
raised his eyes he staggered back, the
sun had passed the meridian. He said
"I must retrace or I will lose it all."
So he ran.
From the bank into the stream he
leaped, and. swimming, wading and
floundering, he clambered up the bank
and on he hurried. Reaching the lake
he leaped into the canoe and paddled
to the other side. Then on he ran
Friends came to meet him. They saw
he was about to lose. He threw off
his coat, his hat, his vest. With his
hair streaming in the wind and the
perspiration rolling down his face,
eyes blood-shot and almost bursting
from their sockets, like Damon of old.
he rushed on, and just as he reached
the starting point, he stumbled and
fell at the stake, and as he did he
cried: "I have won." He remained mo
tionless. They looked at him, and
then, running to his side, they gazed
upon his face, and he was dead.
He had won. but he had paid the
price with his life. Yes, you will win
that political office, but hell will be
the price you will pay.
Don't be like a woman I heard of
who lived down South. She looked
out of her window one morning and
saw a woman drive up with a car-
Tiage-load of kids, and she cried:
"What have I done that I should be
inflicted with this? What have I ever
done to her that she should inflict all
those kids on me today?" And then
she sent her kids scurrying around.
THE AFTER-EFFECTS OF TY
PHOID FEVER
We know the number of deaths from
typhoid fever, during the acute stage
of th disease, the number of persona
incapacitated as a result of typhoid,
and the financial loss to the communi
ty. But the after-effects on those who
have survived have not been considerd.
A study of 1,574 cases of typhoid fev
er in 1911 in the visiting nurse service
of the Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company shows that one hundred and
forty-six of the patients died while
under treatment, a death rate of 9.28
per hundred. The principal complica
tions of the fatal cases were intestinal
perforation and hemorrhage, menen
gitis, pneumonia and heart involve
ment. Of the 1,428 who recovered
from the immediate results of the dis
ease, the death rate during the first
three years was 54, or nearly twice the
normal death rate of 26 for a similar
group of persons who had not had the
disease. This increased rate was not
uniform for U three years, beiay
greatest during the first year follow
ing recovery, less during the second
year, and still less the third.
As a cause of death among the 5t
patients who died within the thre
years following recovery, tuberculosi
heads the list (39 per cent), with dis
eases of the heart following (14.8 ver
cent). In the United States each year,
8,000 deaths occur among persons who
have recovered from an attack of ty
phoid fever but who, as a result of im
paired vitality from the disease, suc
cumb during the first or second year
after recovery.
Similar studies should be made of
the after-effects of other diseases. We
know, for example, says The Journal
of the American Medical Association,
a somewhat general way that
measles and whooping cough, as well
as other diseases, are not infrequent
ly followed by tuberculosis; but wo
we have not had an accurate compari
son of the actual to the expected mor
tality, and it is of importance that we
should have such comparisons. Medi

"You take this, out of the room,"
and "you take that out of the room,"
and the kids raced all around to get
everything out of the room. The wo
man came up to the door and knocked,
and she went to the door and said:
"Oh, how do you do, Mrs. Brown? I
am delighted to see you, and I am so
glad you brought the children with
you."
Then she turned to the children and
said: "Now, children, run and play, be
cause you always have a fine time at
Aunty's. 'London Bridge is Falling
Down,' 'My Fair Lady,' 'Tin Tin,?
Who Has Got the Button? " Finally
luncheon was announced and they sat
around and talked a while, and then;
Mrs. Brown said: "1 must be going."1
And the other woman said: "Don't be
going yet; I have been wishing so long
you would come, and I am awfully
glad you came. I have intended to havo
you call for a long time, but the baby
has been sick, and the maid has-been
away. Now, don't wait so long before
you come again, and good-bye and be.
sure and bring the children with you.'
Kiss, kiss, kiss. . .-- ..
And no sooner had the door closed
on her than she cried: "Bring me the1
smelling salts, quick!" And the kids
begin pulling the furniture that had.
been taken out, and the bric-a-brac-
and in the confusion a china dog waa
broken in two, right in the middle.
And she said: "Who broke that dog?"
No one said a word. "Did you, Tom

and licked. And then she said: "Do
you know why I did that?" He said:
