Cook Certainly Would Not Have
Overlooked the Use of That In
sulting Pronoun.
The ritual of society, as women
make it, is very exacting the world
over, even in almhouses. In this
relation there is told a story show
ing the serious difficulty that arose
among a set of workhouse officials
in a western town.
The infirmary nurses, three in
number, had demanded a separate
sitting room and the delight of
Sunday dinner therein, and the
matron had sought to humble
them by sending the cook to en
joy her Sunday dinner in their
company. The brawny cook de
scribed what occurred as follows:
"Well, Nurse Jones, she comes
down and gets inside the door.
"Four plates?' she says. 'Four?
Who's the fourth?' 'Me,' says I.
'You!' she says, and with that she
losses her head and walks away."
Here the cook drew a long
breath, and then continued: "If
it hadn't been Sunday, gentlemen,
I should have let her have it for call
ing me 'you!" Ex.

the bench looks sick. I guess some

As to some far-off region of the West
The sun now journeys with his golden light,
And from our view the face of mother earth
Is lost amid the shadows of the night;
While darkness, softly falling, from our gaze
Blots out the world around, so would we pray,
That from the Book of Thy Remembrance Thou
Will blot the wrong which we have done today.
Blot out the hasty speech, the unkind word,
Which sorrow brought to those we hold most dear;
Forgive us, that on selfish things intent,
We failed to speak a word of hope and cheer.
Thy pardon gram, that as we hurried on
To gain whatever we today have won,
We did not pause to smile and lend a hand,
As even in our haste, we might have done.
Blot out the evil thoughts, the base desires,
Which we had thought to hide from even Thee;
Blot from our souls the scars of wrong and base
The hidden scars which Thou alone canst see.
Biol from those lives whose paths crossed ours today
As sailing ships may cross each other's track
Remembrance of the things we did and said
Which we cannot undo cannot bring back!
Blot from our record in Thy book today
The evil which is scarlet Thou didst write,
Forgive, in Thy great mercy we would ask,
So that as snow, the page be pure and white,
And may Thy love, surpassing knowledge all,
Enfold us like the ocean, wide and deep,
So that in thankfulness we sink to rest,
And trust ourselves to Thee again, in sleep.
BEYOND,
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
It seemeth such a little way to me
Across to that strange country the Beyond;
And yet, not strange, for it has grown to be
The home of those of whom I am so fond,
They make it seem familiar and most dear,
As journeying friends, bring distant regions near.
So close it lies, that when my sight is clear
I think I almost see the gleaming strand.
I know I feel those who have gone from here
Come near enough sometimes to touch my hand.
1 often think, but for our veiled eyes,
We should find Heaven right round about us lies,
I cannoi make it seem a day to dread,
When from the dear earth I shall journey out
To that still dearer country of the dead,
And join the lost onr. so long dreamed about.
I love this world, yet shall I love to go
And meet the friends who wail for me, I know.
1 never stand above a bier and see
The seal of death set on some well-loved face
But that I think: One more to welcome me
When 1 shall cross the intervening space
Between this land and that one "over there."
One more to make the strange Beyond seem fair.
And so for me there is no sting to death,
And so the grave has lost its victory.
It is but crossing with a bated breath
And white, set face a little strip of sea
To find the loved ones waiting on the shore,
More beautiful, more precious than belore.
PROPERLY RANKED AS HERO.
Deserved Tribute to Collie Who
Oave Master the "Last Full
Measure of Devotion.'
AN EVENING PETITION,
Clyde Scott, four years old, lies
dying on his father's farm near
Beckley, W. Va. His pet collie is
dead. A vicious sow, bearing the
scars of battle to the finish, is so
badly mangled that she must be
killed, too.
It is one of those simple stories
of a dog to which all human sym
pathy responds, remarks the Bal
timore Sun. The boy, playing in
the yard, was attacked by the sow,
which had escaped its pen. Hear
ing the child's screams the collie
rushed to the rescue and engaged
the sow in fight. It needs no as-:
surance of the telegraphed item to j
tell him who knows his dog the j
details.
The child's mother came into ;
the picture, bearing her torn baby j
to safety. But the dog remained, j
His was a supreme duty, that
knew no compromise. The infuria
ted sow was a menace to those he
loved. Ii was his business to re
move that menace, and into the job
he put his concern. It was his
concern only to remove the men
ace, and at any cost. His own life
mattered not at all, and in the end
he lost it, in as noble a struggle for
what he believed to be righteous as
any that ever brightened the annals i
c !
ui man ui iianun.
We do not know the little collie's
name. It we did we should like
to print it in honorable memory of
his gallant conduct. He was a sol
dier and a gentleman; he was a
devoted comrade and playmate; he
was all that a dog is and that a man
should be. We hope he had
Christian burial, for he was a
Christian, if to be Christian implies
sacrifice of self and love for others.
He was all of that and he was a
hero a hero on four legs.

Make 10 lbs. of Soap
and Save $1.00
THE cleansing power in any soap or cleanser you
buy is lye. Soap is tallow (grease) mixed with
lye and water. You can make it yourself and save
a great deal of money. It will suit your needs better,
too, for you can make just the kind of soap you want,
either hard or soft.
Simply take Syt pounds of clean grease (lard or
tallow) free from salt. Melt it down. Then set aside
to cool.
Take a large can of Red Seal Lye and dissolve it in
V-i pints of cold water. Bring this to about Summer
heat and pour it slowly into the melted grease. Stir
until the mixture becomes uniformly thick and pour
into a mould. Cover up and set in a warm place until
next day. Then you can cut it into pieces and you''l
have 10 lbs. of th? finest cleansing soap you ever usee'
and will have saved about $1.00.
Isn't that well wcrth while? You bet it is! And
then just remember these other fine uses for Red Seal
Lye: It is a water softener, saving a great deal of
soap. It kills all disagreeable odors, purifies and dis
infects at the same time. Dissolve a spuonful of it tn
a quart of water and you have a wonderful cleaning
solution for helping lighten your work in washing
dishes, doors, floors, woodwork everything about
the house. A little of it sifted into the sink cleans
out the pipes and prevents them from becoming
stopped up.
But make sure the lye you buy is Red Seal Lye.
This pure lye is granulated and packed in cans that
are easy and convenient to use. Always ask your
storekeeper for, and be sure to get, the old reliable
Red Seal Granulated Lye.
