Exposition I. Paul's Spirit Provoked
by the Idolatry of Athens, 16-21.
Paul began his crusade against damn
ing error at once and in the most ef
fective way, by personal work. He
tackled everybody, everywhere. At
last he runs up against the philosoph
ers of the two leading schools. Some
mocked, as "philosophers," and "scien
tists" too, are wont to do, when they
can not answer. This led to Paul s
getting an opportunity to preach
gospel to the only audience composed
entirely of philosophers on record and
in that world famous forum the Areo
pagus. Paul had but one subject for
philosophers or for the common peo
ple "Jesus and the resurrection."

them feel their personal responsibility

It was on Christmas night, 11 yefirs

lic of what is probably the most baf
fling and mysterious disappearance of
its kind in the police annals of the
United States the unexplained and ap
parently insoluble vanishing of Dorotliy
Harriet Camille Arnold, the daughter
of Francis R. Arnold, a wealthy im
porter. The facts in the case were few and
utterly devoid of sensationalism, thus

Wishing to avoid publicity as mu.-h
as possible, the Arnold family purpose
burg. But it was Quite evident that
the man in question could have had
no connection whatever with the dr."
appearance of the New York heiress
and this lead was dropped both by the
police and the press.
"White slavery," which was at
that time very much in the public
eye, was popularly blamed for the un
solved mystery but, when it came to
details, even the most astute detectives
were at a loss to explain how a strorg.
athletic girl like Miss Arnold could
have been kidnapped and concealei
without leaving the slightest trace,
while, if she had been made away
with, it would have been practically
impossible to hide all signs of the bo iy
and her distinctive clothing descrip
tions of which were flashed to all parts
of the world That Miss Arnold had
not planned to leave home was evident
from the fact that she left all h-r
jewels and a considerable sum of mon
ey in cash behind her and that, on
the very morning of her disappearance,
she had written several letters relative
to a tea in honor of a number of her
former schoolmates at Bryn Mawr.
The theory of suicide was untenable
because her body would have been
found. Premeditated flight was har.'-
ly to be considered, while
recognition somewhere in the country.
Foul play was the only alternative re
maining but, in . the event that Miss
Arnold was either kidnapped or killed,
how' did those responsible, succeed in
hiding all traces of their crime from
the police of two continents?
This is the question which has puz
zled the minds of master detectives
like William J. Burns, Chief Flynn r.f
the United Secret Service, Sir. E. R.
Henry, chief of Scotland Yatd. and
hundreds of others who, during the
past eleven years have endeavored in
vain to solve, the riddle without a clue. '

LOWER CALIFORNIA
SUFFERING FOR FOOD
Mexico City, Sept. 10. The economics
situation in, the southern districts of
Lower California is described as intol
erable by travelers recently returning
from that region. Rainfall has been ex
ceedingly light in that region for the
past three years and the scarcity of
pasture has caused the death of thons
ands of heads of livestock, the main
industry.
The inhabitants are said to be in des
titute circumstances which have been
aggravated by a recent federal order
prohibiting foreign vessels from trans
porting merchandise between Mexican
ports. This order which was aimed to
protect the national merchant marine
has virtually isolated the region as only
two Mexican vessels arc engaged in
coastwise trade there and their visits
are at many weeks intervals.
Protests to President O'oregon by the
inhabitants of the district are expected
to relieve the situation.

The Dazey Churn is the Only One That
Produces Butter in Its Natural Condition
Instead of breaking the delicate tissues in which the
butterfat or oil is contained and bringing this into a
mass, the Dazey dasher, which is designed along the
lines of the powerful propellers that drive our modern
Dcean liners, drives the cream down the slanting wings
and tenderly rolls the globules into dry, uniform grains
about the size of rice. All the butter-making properties
in the cream stick to and roll up with the butter glo
Dules, which is the reason the Dazey makes MORE and
BETTER butter. Too, butter made with the Dazey re
quires very little working. The Dazey Churn is easily
cleaned and, being of the best steel and iron, will last
