He was around, of course. He always is around. He has such a l$t of business to attend to at all tlmosl He saw a little dog running along a street, getting out of the way of peo ple^ going to play with some other dogs who lived further down the ?treet. The little dog knew Just where he was going, oh yes, he didn't need to be told. He knew just as though he were a boy going off to play with some of his companions. No one need tell him the way. He knew! 01^ Man Weather watched him and av he watched him Old Man Wt&ther almost forgot about his business for the moment. Although be has such a lot of business to attead to still he does rest a bit aj times. It Is then that people find Old Man Weather so undecided about what he is going to do next. Well, after the little dog had gone on, Old Man Weatlter began to think of his business affairs, and it was then that he was so amused. Of course he knew that there were big weather bureaus where they studied' the Wind a?d the Clouds and the Sun and the condition of the At WJf UfoTT ffffr 1MU?J __ "A Little Dog." m ?sphere or Air, and all of Old Man Weather's friends and assistants. Bui he. was amused by what he heard. | He hadn't had a chance to speak to the Wind who is the Treasurer In 01(1 Man Weather's business concern. Nor had he had a chance to speak to > th-e Olojid Secretaries, nor to Vlcn ! President Sun, nor to First Assistant Atmosphere. i He had not had a chance to talk to 1 any of them for he had been having . one of his birthday parties. I You see, Old Man Weather does not know how old he is. He has really no Idea of his age. Only he knows ! that he is very, Very old. And neither has he any idea when : ^iis birthday comes. He never had the some cMldhood as he had seen others have. Yes, he had seen others who had had a great fuss made ov^r their birthdays when they were young atfd go they bad kept on celebrating their birthdays right through life. Old Man Weather couldn't do that because he had not begun right. He could not say that any One day in the year was his birthday. And so he had a birthday whenever he felt like- it. He had just been having one of his birthday parties. And to his birthday party had come many of his business friends and his other friends as well, for Old Man Weather has so many friends, even If some do grumble about him and say unkind things about him. Jt had been very puzzling to every one who wanted to find out about tha weather for so many kinds seemed to be possible. It was all because of the birthday party. And If ever you hear that the weath er Is to be very uncertain and that n? one la quite sure what It Is going to ; be like even though they have studied everything about it? -then you may know that Old Man Webber is having a blitbday party. And, as I have said, it was following this party, that Old Man Weather was so much amused. He heard a little ' girl aaRlng her little brother this ques tion: "Is it 'going to rain tomorrow?" The little brother said that he thought It might and again he thought It might not, which was not a very helpful answer. Then the little girl asked her daddy, "Is It going to rain tomorrow?" Her daddy had answered, "I don't know, dear. I did not get a newspaper this evening so I can't tell." Well, that was what amused Old Man Weather. Not but what the pa per* were pretty apt to be correct about him, studying him and hla friends as they did, but even the pa pers could make a weather mlst^e because they were never quite sure Mien Old, Man Weather might change erer/thlng about They didn't even know that he gave birthday parties. He had always kept that a secret from them.

J INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPHJ ?How Nehemlah Got Thinks Done. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC ? ^ehemiah, an Example for Men of Af fairs. Nehemlah was a cupbearer to the Persian king. While performing his duty as cupbearer, he learned of the distress of his brethren in Jerusalem. Having secured a leave of absence from the Persian court and credentials from the king, he journeyfed to Jerusa lem. ^fter resting three days without disclosing his purpose to 'anyone, he made a survey of the walls by night Having thus obtained first-hand Infor mation, he called the representatives I of the Jews together and said, "Let us build the walls of Jerusalem." 1. Preparation for the .Building (Chap. 3). The division of labor in this project | shows Nehemiah's administrative abll It*. wise distribution of labor makes difficult tasks easy. Note some out standing features of this great work : ^ 1. Stress Laid Upon Indifference (3:5). . In administrative tasks it la just that unfaithfulness should be pointed out. 'Such action will be a warning to some and encouragement to others, In that It shows the integrity of the director. 2. Help Rendered by Wotnen (3:12). Perhaps Shallum had no sons to aid him. It was a fine thing for the wom en to help, even In building a wall, when there were no men to do it I 3. Stress Laid Upon Earnestness (3:20). If one knows that his faithful ness will be recognized, he will earnest ly pursue his tasks. ? ? 4 Every One Built Over Against His Own House (3:10. 23, 28). No incen tive to exertion is quite so strong as that which concerns one's own family. 5 Certain Guilds of Men Undertook Certain Work (3:8, 31, 32). Wise ad ministration sometimes calls for such alignment of efforts. Men of the same class and craft will surely work better together. II. Hindrances Encountered (4.1 8:14> 1. Scoffing of Sanballnt and Tobiah (4:1-6; cf. 2:10, 20). The opposers of God's servants usually* begin by hurl- | ing at them shafts of ridicule. They called the Jews a feeble folk and as serted that the tread of a prowling fox | would break down their stone wall. 2. Conspiracy for a Sudden Attack (4:7-9). ? When the enemy saw that the work was actually succeeding they changed from ridicule to an attempt to throw the workmen into a panic. When the enemy csfcnot succeed by scoffing they resort to Intimidation. 3. Conspiracy With the Jews (4:10 23) They sought by means of the Jews from the, outside to discourage their brethren by showing that the task was hopeless and that at any time they were subject to a sudden and se cret attack. 4. Greed and Oppression or tne Rulers (5:1-13). The Jews of that day, like the profiteers of our time, took advantage of the poor and op pressed them so that they mortgaged their land and sold their daughters Into slavery. Nehemlah boldly rebuked them for their crimes and ordered a restoration to be made, exacting an oath of them that they would fulfill their promises. 5. Plot to Take Nehemiah's Life (6:1-14).' When Sanbnllat and Tobiah failed in every way they sought by craft to get Nehemlah away that they might kill him. III. The Wall Completed (6:15-7:4). ? So energetically did they pursue their tasks that in fiftyvtwo days the wall was completed. When the ene mies heard that In spite of all their schemes the work was actually fin ished they were dejected, for they per ceived thai fhe work was of God. We may learn from this: 1. That God s children are assailed by enemies, but in view of Romans .8:31 they should not feaT., 2. That when attacked by enemies we should pray (4:9). Their faith was accompanied by wise precaution Ing: (1) Set a watch (4:9). (2) Men were permitted to be with their fami lies (4:13) and thus would fight bet ter. (3) Half worked and half watched, all armed for battle (4:16). (4) They worked with sword in one hand (4:17). (5) They slept in their clothes in readiness (4:23).

MAXWELL HOUSE COFFEE ft Cane Beetle Destroying Sugar-Cane. One of the most destructive of ull insects to th?- farmer in Australia is the cane beetle, which is still playing havoc on the sugar-cane*farms. Decently, at Norham, in North Queensland, a sugar-cane farmer gave a contract to a man to catch beetles i at 18 cents a quart, and the beetle catcher made ?0 in three days. An other man caught 1,647 quarts of bee tles In 2o days. ' The high prices paid in order to de stroy these beetles give us an idea of the amount of destruction wrought by the hordes of these insects. womehIeeTswamp-boot Thousands of women have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it. Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the mult of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy con dition, they may c?uae the other organs to become diseased. Pain in the back, headache, loes of am bition, nervouaneaa, are often times symp toms of kidney trouble. Don't delay starting treatment.
