SPARKS FAMILY HAPPENINGS
THE KID EATS
BY EDWARD B. CLARK
RS. SPARKS sat In the
window of the litue
flat, darning. Tommy
Sparks, aged four, hid
been allowed to go
alone to play In the
great yard that lies
between the apart
ment building and the
swell private . resi
dence which faces the
drive. Mr. Sparks was
at his office, and all
the young Sparksea,
barring Tommy, were at school. From
Mrs. Sparks' vantage point In the lit
tle bay window she could catch occa
sional glimpses of a painter In the big
yard next door, who was moving
along alowlv from stone to stone
painting the foundation of the bouse
of their rich neighbor a subdued sort
of red color.
Mrs. Sparks was dreamily wonder
inn whv the foundation which had
been pretty in its natural hue, need
ed painting at all, when Tommy
Sparks toddled In through the door
way leading from the kitchen. Tommy
had come up from the yard the back
wav. Tommv had some streaks of
red running diagonally down from
each corner of his mouth, and bis
linen dress waa spotted in places with
the same color.
"Tommy Sparks," demanded his
mother, "what on earth have you been
eating?"
Tommy climbed Into a chair, swung
his legs in his Infantile way and said:
"Mamma, painter's pie's good."
Mrs. Sparka gave one hurried, hor
rified glance through the window at
tha roil nn int which was being daubed
.v. ..uhw'i hmnn and then
! turned her , anguished countenance
toward Tommy.
"Tommy," her voice was a pleading
wail, "did you eat the painter's stuff
out of the pall?"
"Yes, out of the pail; painter's pie's
good," answered Tommy.
Mrs. Sparks shrieked. The maid
rushed In from the kitchen. "Get the
doctor, the druggist and Mr. Sparks,"
screamed Mrs. Sparks. "Tommy's eat
en paint and sugar of lead and every
thing. Go, girl, go." Susan rushed
through the door, sent the corner
druggist flying up to the house, or
dered the clerk to telephone Mr.
Sparks and then sat out on a chase for
the doctor.
In the meantime Mrs. Sparks was
moaning over Tommy, who was tak
ing the unusual commotion which he
had created as blandly as would most
four-year-olders. He insisted on occa
sionally reiterating that "painter'B pie
was good," and at each reiteration the
mother's heart sank.
The druggist rushed in. "Tommy
has eaten paint. Heaven alone knows
how much. It must have had sugar
of lead in it, and that's Bweet and
that's why he ate It."
The druggist grabbed up Tommy,
half threw him onto a lounge, and
then turned to the mother. "Control
yourself, Mrs. Sparks; life depeuds on
Instant action. Get me salt, potash
and softsoap." Luckily Mrs. Sparks
had all three articles in the house,
and she rushed off to the kitchen and
brought them back. Tommy as yet
showed no sign of collapse. The drug
gist put two tablespoonfuls of salt In
half a glass of lukewarm water and
forced Tommy to swallow it sputter
ing. This dose was followed up with
a heroic one of potash, and then
Tommy was made to swallow a large
coffee cupful of softsoap. With the
soap down and Tommy's eyes hang
ing out of his head and well down
over-his cheek bones, the druggist
turned the youngster over on his
stomach on the couch and shook him.
The only thing about Tommy that
didn't rebel at this treatment was his
stomach. That held onto Its unaccus
tomed load with a pertinacity worthy
of something better. At this juncture
the painter appeared on the scene. He
admitted to the tearful Mrs. Sparks
that he had left his paint pot on the
ground , where Tommy could have
found it for about five minutes while
he went round the corner to get a
glass of beer.
At this Instant the doctor fell in
at the door on the heels of the maid.
He approved the druggist's treatment
and added to it a large dose of Ipecac.
Under this last added horror Tommy's
atomach and spirit both gave way.
Like the younger hopeful in Helen's
Babies, he played whale, and while he
didn't cast up Jonah he cast np pretty

. . . .
Tommy, Just out of a paroxysm,
turned his head and caught alght of
the empty dinner pall. "Painter's pie's
good," he murmured.
Mrs. Sparks sank Into a chair laugh
ing and crying hysterically. A grin
appeared on Mr. Spark's face. The
doctor and the druggist looked dis
gusted. Mr. Sparks gave the painter
a dollar. "Go to a restaurant and get
a square meal," he said.
"Henry," said Mrs. Sparks, still In
a struggle between two emotions,
"what shall we do with that boy?"
"Well," answered Henry as he ur-
veyed Tommy and his surroundings,
"I think from the cleaning these two
professional gentlemen have Just giv
en him, that if we could turn him in
side out he'd make a good advertise
ment for some brand of soap."
The Sparks' Old 8oldler Janitor.
"Eliza," said Mr. Sparks on the
night of the day that they moved into
their new flat, "this apartment life Is
worse than one of Dante'a circles. I'll
make just one more move before
I die, and that will be into a house
in a suburb. Here we are Just moved,
everything topsy-turvy and no girl. Of
course, the latest acquisition from the
employment bureau had to leave us

of the others, and even a man accus
tomed to using strong language can't
say anything stronger than that Just
look at this muss, will you, and no
one to help us fix up."
Just then the front doorbell rang.
"WHAT ON EARTH HAVE YOU BEEN EATING r
Henry Sparks stumbled over two
trunks, his daughter's bicycle, barked
his shin, bruised his toes and Anally
reached the door. There In the hall
stood a young woman, comely aid
strong looking. "Is this the place you
want a girl?" she asked.
A sudden joy leaped into Henry
Sparks' heart. "Yes," he said. "Come
in. We have Just moved; we're all up
side down here. Look out for the
boxes!"
Then Mr. Sparks led the way into
the dining-room and turned the caller
over to his wife. "Yes, we want a
girl," said Mrs. Sparks; "we've just
moved in, and it may be you won't
want to stay now; you see how things
are and what cleaning is to be done."
girl.
"I'm not afraid to work," said the
girl.
At this answer, Henry Sparks, who
stood in a corner, almost fainted. The
girl produced a letter from a Luther
an clergyman in a little country Til
lage. It happened that Henry Sparks
knew the man. The girl was taken on
the spot, aa aha declared she was
ready to go to work then and there
and would have her things 'Bent right

During the whole conversation Mrs.
Sparks' face bad worn rather a pus

volunteered to stay Mrs. Sparks said:
"How did you happen to knpw we
wanted a girl?"
"X saw your advertisement" was
the answer. "Here it la," and the girl
pulled out a copy of the morning pa

she exclaimed, "that's the advertise

That girl Rose, who stumbled Into

was a dream. She cooked things to

uave a cross word ID her vocabulary;
she didn't care to go to balls on Sat

rood-looking. The Sparks' family life
was Ideal.
One ( morning aa Mr. Sparks was
leaving the building to go to the office
he met the janitor, who was coming
up from the basement leading a child
with each hand. Mr. Sparka had bare
ly noticed the janitor before. This
morning something In the man's bear
ing struck him and turning, he said:
"William, you've been in the servloe."
"Yes. sir," said William, "I put In
five yean in the Fourth cavalry."
"I can tell a regular the minute I
clap eyes on him," said Mr. Sparks.
"I put in a good many years myself.
You have two fine children here, Will
lam." "Yes," said William assentingly, and
then Mr. Sparks said "Good-bye."
That night when Mr. Sparks reach
ed home his wife said: "The Janitor
came up today and washed the win
dows. I didn't think It was a part of
his work, but he said It was all right
and Insisted. He told me that he used
to be in the regular army and that be

too."
"That's it, Eliza," said Henry, "an
old soldier likes to (Jo things for an
other old soldier. He washed our win
dows because we had both done hard
duty on the plains. He must be a
good, steady fellow, for he has a wife

Almost every night when he reached
home Mrs. Sparks would tell Henry of
some new act of attention on the part
of the janitor. "He came up and
went all over the plumbing today,"
she said one night "He said he
wanted to make sure that there
wasn't any sewer gas in the place."
"There, it is Just as I told you,
Eliza," said Mr. Sparks; "this Janitor
doesn't want to see the family of an
old soldier suffer. Ill give him a box
of cigars tonight Eliza, this la the
finest kind of life. Never talk to me
again about taking a suburban house.

In a story by Mary Stewart Cut

"Mr. Brentwood was well born, well

pany, not to be funny." : , . -
"Certain jokes or mannerisms of

Things went on this way for
months. Henry Sparks told Ave real
estate agents to quit looking up a
country home for him. "You can't beat
the combination I've got right here In
the heart of Chicago," he said. '
'A box of cigars went a long way
with the janitor. He Insisted on
beating the Sparks rugs, he gilded the
radiators, he fixed the door knoba, and
toward the end of the second month
be waa washing the windows every
other day. The windows of the other
flats were dingy and fingermarked.
Rosa was a pearl of great price. She
anticipated every wish of every mem

Henry Sparks, though he had always
prided himself on his persptcaoity,
never notloed that whenever Wlll'ara
found that aomethlng In the kitchen
needed fixing the Job was always one
that required three or four days' time.
One night Mr. Sparka went down
town to do some work. He didn't get
back till one o'clock. He slipped off
his shoes at the door so as not to
awaken his wife. He passed through
the hall, and feeling hungry he went
back through the dining room with a
mind and appetite bent on exploring
the kitchen pantry. The door leading
into the kitchen waa shut In his
stocking feet Mr. Sparks made no
noise. He opened the door quickly.
The kitchen gas was burning. From
the far end of the room came a click-
ing noise. William, the Janitor was
standing at attention with his heels

Mr. Sparks aaw that one of his arms
had Just dropped from Its position of

Mr. Sparks was horrified. He went
back to daya when as a "non-com" he
had verbally lashed some bluecoat

thunder, "how dare you! You're a
scoundrel, sir!"
"William's hand went to his fore

be married next week, Mr. Sparks,"
he said.
"Married!" was the gasping re
sponse. "How about your wife and
two children down stairs?"
"That's my widowed sister and het
two little ones. She's been keeping
house for me," said William.
Mr. Sparks groaned and went limply
back Into the front room. He waked

Is over. Rosa is going to marry the
Janitor. It wasn't any old soldier
sentiment at all that made him wash
windows. I'll tell Hunt In the morn

country," and, sighing, Mr. Sparks
went to bed.
At the breakfast table next morning
William and Rosa came in hand In
hand. "We're going to be married
next week, Mrs. Sparks," said Rosa,
"but my sister wants a place and I'll
send her here. She's a better cook
than I am."
At this bit of Information Mr.
Sparks' face cleared visibly. "You
both have my blessing," he said;
"send in your sister Rosa, and if Will

the landlord, to send a good janitor la

forgetful of everything else, Mr.
Sparks turned to his wife and said:

they, my dear?"

There are Just two things here the
death of Christ, and the resurrection
f of Christ The second of these Is pre-

Dlett for Our Sins.
1. Christ died for our sins. The ra.
of the death of Christ on Calvary Is
generally received, but with most per
sons that death was simply that of an
unfortunate young man who bad
lived a wonderful life, bad manifested
uhselflshnesa to a degree never equal
ed by man, but who made a mistake
by letting himself fall Into the hands
of his enemies and being put to death.
The first cause for the death of
Christ waa our sins, with some per
sons the death of Jesus Christ has
no possible connection with man's re
lationship to God, it is merely In
spirational and of moral Influence to
wards a better life, beautiful to be

physical agony and the grewsome
blood-shedding. But such is not the
I mission of the death of Christ In the
! purpose of God, nor have Paul or the
other apostles so thought The death
had immediate connection with man's
relationship to God every man who
is joined to Christ vitally, there died
to the world and world died to him
there was the shedding of blood with
out which the Scriptures - plainly
teach there la no "remission of sins."
The brief clause, "He was. burled,"
has far more significance than most
think. It Is a confirmation of the
death which must be, perfectly au
thenticated. The story of the death

It first to enforoe the necessity of the
new Ufa for "you have been risen
with Christ" This refers, of course,
to the spiritual resurrection, very
forcefully represented In the resurrec
tion of Jesus Christ -..
But Paul also was preaching a gos
pel to secure a man spiritually resur
rected against all future contingen
cies. Man must die physically, and
even to the Christian the passing Into
the unknown hereafter Is something
disturbing to contemplate, but Paul
gives him the glorious hope that he

raised Incorruptible and we shall be

and of the resurrection of Christ Is

platform broad enough on which can
be built the doctrine that man needs
to deliver him from the curse of sin
which ia now upon him, a curse here
after Infinitely greater; and, to enable
dim to have the positive blessing of
resurrection.
