f~ ? 8 ? ff THE it t * ^ " H HOUSE ff THAT .JACK ff BUILT !: ? ? * 4 ? * ? ? ? ? ? ? "*? ? Ky * ? "?"??*?+ % i;C by L?. J Walsh.) RUTII DKaNI: riad been away from her h??me for many months. Her precious little "Sun-Trap" was a veritable haven of rest after the noisy city. Hut one morning she was awakened by a loud "Clang! Chink ! Tang!" Whatever could It be? Surely no sound save the song of birds should evpr be allow* d to break the stillness of u golden morning like this, and yet the clink of metal, the ringing of tools brought an odd consternation to Ilutb's heart. Suddenly she sprang out of bed. j There was a heavy knocking of nails j and wood carpentering. What couid j it mean? Drawing aside the curtains with h hand thai trembled with apprehension. Ruth's eyes were suddenly blinded by a mist of tears. -Oh. It just can't be! liuilders! Houses right opposite. How dare they ?" After dressing. Ruth went down stairs and out to the front yard. A young man. busy with his motor cycle beside the wall, raised his hat when he saw her. "Pardon me." began Ruth, rather fiercely, "but what does this all mean? I mean this building opposite my home?" "'The Happy Homes' do not meet with your approval, then.'" "Approval? Their presence is an outrage in this glorious spot. They are hideously alike, and alike in bid ing hideous. Mine has been a dream house of peace and beauty ? and now?" "1'ardon me. but you have reveled in its peace and beauty so complete ly ? for yourself." he said quietly, "that you have forgotten the teeming bun dred of every city who have to live in two rooms ? or even one. You call your house 'Sun Trap.' I s?*e. bui whai about the children who are robbed of their rightful heritage? sunshine and fresh air?" "Who are you?" demanded Ruth. He shrugged his shoulders and his blue eyes met hers steadily. "Does that matter? 1 realize thai there is no more pressing problem to day than finding houses to live in The 'Happy Homes are Just a small attempt to solve this problem for a few homeless people." The man raised his hat and was off Ruth's housekeeper I old her what sin km-w of the man who was said to he putting up the houses His name was Jack Reed and his name "big" In the building world. Rut gone for Ruth was the perfect Joy of her glorious little garden; gone was the keen enjoyment of the house which she had made a picture of per feet ion within and without. But one day she thought that after all the man at the g:ite had spoken the truth The very truth of his in dictmetii against her selfishness had stabbed her to the quick. Several times during the weeks that followed Ruth heard the starting and stopping of a motor cycle. She could not forget thai man. The tirst tenant to arrive was h young man with a golden* haired wife whose happy eyes shone brightly. A few weeks later there was a baby's cry in the new house ? the gift whlcli had come to complete the Joy of the young couple's home It was a day of sweltering heat and Rush looked at the few wilted plants the younu husband had found time to plant In the bare garden, then at hei own rows and rows of bright blooms Almost before she knew it she was cutting the finest of the roses, fill her basket was full to overflowing Ruth carried her offering across the road, murmured a kindly message for the young mother and hurried home before she realiz-ed what she had done Somehow after that the new houses did not wein the eyesores they hail been before. She often saw the man on the motor cycle, too. Two weeks later the golden-haired mother came over to thank Ruth for the lovely Mowers she had sent. Ruth laughed softly and said: "1 am afraid I have been very selfish In the enjoyment of my garden. I am Just beginning to wonder whether I have not missed the very best in life after all." ??VMS 1 never knew what real hap plness wax till my husband, and now my baby, came Into my life." said the young wife. "We were obliged to live In furnished rooms for a year after we were married and were so cranqied and the people did not like chll dren. Oh. I did bope that my child miirht open its eyes ia (lod's own coun tryside. We owe it all to Jack Reed.** "Heed? One of the building firm?" i asked Kuth. "Yes." said the neighbor. "He Is still a young man. hut wishes to give away Ihe fortune he inherited. He is an architect and works right with his uien. He builds these homes so that salaried people may purchase them on The noise of a moto: cycle was ! heard; the man they had spoken about came up the path. "1 was looking for you. Mrs. Rob erts." he began. "1 came to tell you that your sister's house will be fin ished in time for her wedding day." The happy little wife clapped her hand:*' then bent over her sleeping son in his carriage. "Do you hear that, my wee one? Aunt Madge is coming to live near us." Then, lifting her eyes to Roth, she said: "Mr. Reed spends his life making other people happy." He uid iiofc answer, but his eyes sought Ruth's in a fashion that sent a crimson tide to her cheeks and set her wondering why it was that this man with all the qualities of the true home lover should spend his days pro viding homes for others and not make a home of his own? But that question and many others wen* answered one evening sometime afterward when Mrs. Roberts saw Ruth and Jack Reed standing very close together on the porch of "Sun Trap"," where he was now a frequent guest. "They are going to l?e as happy as we are." she said ecstatically, running in quickly to tell her husband. "Oh, Roger, 1 bet the house that Jack builds for Ruth will be a charming one, but she deserves the very best." . Find Old Secret P#??age A game of golf near Barnet, Eng land. over the North Middlesex golf course, resulted In discovery of the underground passage to a monastery. While the match was in play the rear wheels of an automobile owned hy one of the players sank out of sight. Investigations disclosed that the wheels disap|>eared in the entrance of the underground passages of the old <Msicrcian monastery, lost for more than Hki years. The place originnlly belonged to the Cistercian monks but was sequestered by Henry VIII, at whose death it passed to Queen Kliza heth. The site of the monastery now j forms 11 major part of the North Mid dlesex golf course. Cannibal Microbes in Water Magnifying a drop of water one ! million times reveals ferocious canni bal microbes which make vicious at tacks on other less hardy breeds, or ? even set traps 'or the unwary ones, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. <>ne of the species is a "savage roti fer" whose pincerlike Jaws devour other microbes, and another is a "bind derwort." which, although a plant. Is a "meat eater." setting netlike traps for Itinerant microbes. At the New York Museum of Natural History a glass device which enlarges microbe life has been installed. Four 3*ears of work was necessary to make the model of life in a drop of water, which was blown in glass.

The lesson title Is likely to be mis- ! understood and the teaching mlsap- ! plied. Christ did cot directly, nor by ; implication teach that eternal life could he obtained by parting with ! possessions. I. A Certain Young Man (v. IC). For a full view of the characteris tics of this man, sec Murk 10:17-30 and Luke 18:18-30. 1. His virtues. (1) Courageous (Mark 10:7). He was of high standing ? a rich young ruler (Luke 18:18, 23). To come to lesus at this time might menu ostra cism, but with manly courage he came. (2) Karnest (Mark 10:17). He knelt before Jesus. thus showing earnestness j?nd sincerity. (3) High aspirations (v. 10). He wanted eternal life. Though taken up with the things of his present life, he felt the need of preparing for a life beyond. (4) Pious and moral (v. 20). From his youth he bad conformed to God's moral law. ("?) He believed that Christ could In form him of the "good thing" to be done to inherit eternal life. 2. His errors. (1) About Christ (v. 10). He es teemed Jesus to be good, but did not apprehend Ilim as God; otherwise he would have known Him not merely as one who did good, hut as one who Is essentially good; that is, Cod. (2) Concerning himself. He thought he was good and that lie could do something good. (3) Concerning eter nal life. He thought that it could be obtained by pood works. He did not know that the only way to gain eternal life was to receive it as a gift from God (Kom. 6:23). II. The Lord's Dealing With Him (vv. 17-22). Jesus skillfully led the young man to see his errors. 1. His question ? "Why callest thou rae good?" (v. 17). Before giving him a chance to an swer He declared that only God was good, as if to say, "i am good, and therefore Ood.** He was God manifest in the flesh, and repudiated the thought of being known merely as a good man. 2. Jesus' answer to the young man's question (vv. 17-201. "If tliou wilt enter Into life, keep the commandments." Christ met him here on his own ground, namely, that of the law. He took the young man's level thjit the young m:m's real worth might he revealed (Rom. 3:15), 20). 3. Christ's command (vv. 21, 22). Replying to Christ's citation of the commandments of the law. the young i man asserted that he had kept them from his youth. Yet in his Inner con science he knew that there was some thing lacking. When he had to make rhe supreme decision between Jesus and his possessions, he chose wealth. III. The Rslationship of the Rich to the Kingdom (vv. 23-20). This teaching concerning the peril of riches was most timely. Covctousness was fast taking ho!d of the people. 1. It is diflicult for the rich to enter into the kingdom (vv. 23, 24). This dilliculty lies not in the possession of riches, for a man may possess great riches and he an heir of the kingdom. Money in itself Is essentially good. It will help the poor and help bring the gospel to the lost. The difficulty lies in trusting In riches. 2. Entrance into the kingdom, though difficult. Is possible (vv. 25, 26). (1) It Is possible for the grace of <5od to sanctify riches, to open a man's ?\ves that he may see his downward course and repent, to change a man from self-seeking to self -sacrificing. IV. rfewards for Following Christ (vv. 27-30). Those who turn their backs upon rhelr kindred and possessions for the sake of Christ shall receive an hnn dredfolri in this life, and eternal life in the world to come. Obedienc* Obedience Is the secret. Not slavish ??bedience. but sympathetic, loviny ??ager obedience. "His delight Is ii rhe law of the I/ord." May the law m holiness be to me welcome as tin light, sweet as the flowers, more to h desired than much fine gold. ? W. L Watklnson. Cool Milk Right to Prevent Lossj Work Is Easily Done With Little Additional Equip ment of Labor. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. > Dairymen in the United States lose millions of dollars annually because of poorly cooled milk and cream, says the United States Department of Ag riculture In Farmers' Bulletin 976-F, ?'Cooling Milk and Cream on the Farm.*' a new edition of which has just been printed. These losses occur I because inferior milk or cream is re turned by dealers to the farmers, and because low-grade products bring low prices. Ice Is Available. Eighty per cent of the country's milk and cream supply is produced on dairy farms where ice is available, the bnlletln says. Even where Ice Is not available, milk and cream, by bet ter use of available cooling facilities, may be cooled more effectively than is often done. The bulletin points out the necessity for prompt cooling of milk and cream and discusses the use of surface cool ers. milk-cool ins tanks, well or spring water, and mechanical refrigeration. Keeping milk cold during shipment and winter care and handling are other subjects discussed. Proper cool ing Is Just as im|?ortant with cream as with milk, especially as cream is often delivered less frequently than milk. Proper cooling Is easily done with j little additional equipment and labor. Copies May Be Obtained. Farmers' Bulletin 97G-F is n revision of an older publication bearing the same title.

Station Says Hens Lay in Cycles or Clutches Do you know how your hens lay? j At the West Virginia experiment sta tion the poultry men studied the time factor of laying hens. They found that hens laid In cycles or clutches. The rate of laying Is directly In pro- : portion to the number of eggs laid la a clutch. When a bird lays for several days in succession the first egg of the cycle or clutch generally Is laid relatively early In the forenoon. The remainder of the eggs are laid later and later on succeeding days, the last egg of the cycle being laid relatively late In the , afternoon. Then the bird ceases to lay for one or more days, and when a new cycle is started, again the first egg Is laid early in the forenoon, and so on. The length of the interval be- j tween the laying of successive eggs Is fairly uniform for any particular bird. The data examined apparently jus tify the following conclusions: The longer the cycle, the shorter are the intervals between the laying of successive eggs. The Interval between the luying of the last two eggs in a cycle Is usually greater than any other Interval in the | cycle. The intervals between the laying of eggs at or about the middle of the cycles are shorter than the intervals at either extremity. As the birds become older the In tervals between the laying of succes sive eggs become longer. The shorter average intervals be tween the laying of successive eggs , are usually associated with the more j prolific layers. m n m < x x Agricultural Notes Manure for alfalfa land should not j contain much straw and should be aj>- 1 piled before growth starts. ? ? ? The place In the rotation that gives the best returns for manure Is either on clover sod before corn or on the land after It Is plowed for corn. ? ? ? Sweet clover plowed under often In creases corn yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre over the previous crop when no sweet clover was plowed under. ? ? ? No matter how large or small the j space, the fruit garden should be planned for a continuous supply of the various kinds throughout the sea son. ? ? ? An early spring application of ft quick nitrogenous fertilizer is very helpful In a sod-mulch orchard. The first mulch can be applied early In spring. ? ? ? The cheapest and most certain meth od of Improving crop yields is by thp use of clovers and manure. Some farms will nut grow clover without liming. B Way to Get At a Cold Is Through the Bowels As soon as you catch cold, the'pores close; perspiration is checked. Gases and waste can't escape through the t?kin. That's why your doctor's first advice In case of colds is a mild lax ative like cascara. Medical authori ties agree it actually strengthens ttovccl muscles. You pet cascara in its most pleasant form in candy Cas carets. ltemember this when you catch cold ; whenever breath is bad ; tongue coated; or you're headachy, bilious, constipated. Why resort to harsher things when Cascarets activate the bowels so quickly, so harmlessly and pleasant ly ? and cost only a dime? TOOK IT TO BUILD HER OP Strengthened by Lydia E.

The General Klectric company can make them for CO cents, says Capper's Weekly. Wooden ties cost $2.80. The scrap value of the metal, however, is $2.50, but this still may he recovered whenever a metal tie is discarded. One eastern rail road will adopt the new ties which are economical and will save our dwindling supply of timber. They will go to make a more substantial roadbed on which before many years trains may run at a speed of from 100 to 200 miles an hour.
