ATCHISON'S ORDER OF SPINS Unmarried, and Contented Withal, They Have Mapped Out for Themselves a Pious City. There was called a meeting of the Ancient Order of Spins last evening, and papers were read on every sub ject, from removing grease from car pets to the ead memories that attach to a bunch of old letters. The Spins wero having a hilarious time when a visiting Spin got up to make a few re marks. She said that, while they are happy now, there was a sad time com Ing. "Think of the day," she said. ' when, having no husbands or chil- dren, you will be all alone." There was a sniff and then a snort as Spin after Spin recalled wives and mothers who are alone from daylight till dark, except when some member of the fam ily wants waiting on. The sniffling and snorting Increased in volume as Spin after Spin told of her freedom from worry, her independence in fi nancial matters and the joy of doing as she pleased. "Rut we must not take offense at what our sister has eaid," one Spin remarked. "Let us show our good intentions by calling on every lonesome wife and mother we know." This was six weeks ago, and though the Spins have devoted every afternoon and evening since to this missionary work, they haven't made half the rounds yet. Atchison Globe. No Help Needed. A little miss of five years' who had been allowed to stay up for an even ing party, was told about 8:30 to go to bed. Very, very slowly she moved toward the stair. An aunt, seeing her reluctance, asked: "Helen, can I do anything to help you ?" "No," replied Helen, "I will get there altogether too soon as it is." Recipe for Happiness.

SINCLAIR SMITH Paator of Westminster Presbyterian Church, Houston, Texas THE TREASURE AND THE PEARL,.... Text: What Is the summum bonum the chief good. Matt. 13:44-6. Again the kingdom of Heaven is like unto a treasure hid in a field, the which when a man hath found he hideth and for Joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath and buyeth that field. Again the kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant man seeking goodly pearls, who when he hath found one pearl of great price went and sold all that he had and bought it. Prof. A. B. Bruce characterizes these two parables as the "Treasure and the Pearl" (or the kingdom of God as the summum bonum or chief good). These two parables constitute but one text and teach the same general lesson, the incomparable worth of the kingdom of uod. They show how the kingdom of God ought to be esteemed in whatever esteem it may in fact be held. Something that it is worth while giving up everything else in order to attain it. What is this supreme good of human life? We are all looking for hidden treasu.. We are all seeking goodly peaHfs." The only question is what treasure is worth the most? What pearl lias the greatest value? What is best worth living for? What is the summum bonum? What, accord ing to Jesus Christ, is the chief good? The treasure it is worth while to bar ter everything else for? The price less pearl whose value is greater than all else? Is it not the kingdom of God set up in a man's heart? To have God's kingdom set up in a man's own heart, to be in touch and sympa thy with the great interests of Christ's eternal kingdom; this Is worth while, worth living for, worth dying for. This is the only interest deep enough, high enough, comprehensive enough to absorb a man's affection; arouse his energies, develop the best and broadest life. There Is only one thing worth living for the kingdom of God. Christ teaches and experi ence proves the truth of his terchin?; that only the kingdom of God set up in a man's heart can satisfy him. He may have everything else under the sun, but unless he has entered into living, loving fellowship with God his soul will thirst for the living God and will never be satisfied until satisfied in God. Man's chief good is God. The liv ing, loving God as recalled in Christ enthroned in the heart, the source of life eternal! this Is man's chief good. "This Is life eternal that they might know this the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent." Another term our Savior uses in de scribing the chief good is "eternal life." If men only knew the signifi cance of those two words eternal life they would give up everything they had on earth rather than not pos sess it. Like the man who found the hidden treasure, they would sell all that they had to possess that field. Like the merchantman seeking goodly pearls. when they found this pearl of great price they would give up everything they had rather than to give up this priceless pearl. Let us study these parables a little more closely. They represent two dif ferent classes of men. The parable of the man who found the treasure hid in the field represents a man going about his daily business, living; a sur face life, unaware that just below the surface, if he would dig a little deep er, he would find a rich treasure, not knowing that there is a richer, better life in store for him, until accidental ly, as it were, he stumbles upon "the Christian secret of a happy life" and goes on through life rejoicing in his newfound happiness. The parable of the merchantman seeking goodly pearls represents a dif ferent type of a man, one of high Ideals and expectations, always reach ing out after something better than he possessed, until at last, in his seek ing, he comes across the pearl of great price revoaled In the peerless one?, and he glad(j parts with all that he has gained that he may possess it. Such a choice soul was Paul, who said: WThat things were gain to me these have I counted loss for Christ. Yea, verily, and I count all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I suffered tho loss of all thlng3 and do count them but refuse that I may gain him." Another choice soul was Justin, martyr, one of the early Christians, who tells us in his writings how he had traveled through the whole circle of Greek philosophy, ceeking every where for that which would satisfy the deepest needs of his heart's soul, and ever seeking In vain, till be found it at length In the gospel of Christ. This parable represents an earnest, seeking soul finding at the end of its weary quest Christ, God's answer to the heart's need. We show cur appreciation of the value of this treasure, this pearl, by the earnestness with which w seek to possess it. The man that found this hidden treasure sold all that r had that be mlht possess this treasure. If the kingdom of God set up In the heart Is the chief good then our only rational course fs to give up every thing that hinders our possessing It It in irrati"n,il to go throuarb life with out possessing ourselves of It I THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS Sunday School Lesson for Oct 9, 1910 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT. Matthew 25:14-30. Memory verse 29.. ( GOLDEN TEXT. "His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many thing's; enter thou into the Joy of thy lord." Matt. 25:21. TIME. Tuesday afternoon. April 4. A. D. 30. Immediately following the last lesson. PLACE. On the slopes of Mount Olivet, overlooking Jerusalem. Suggestion and Practical Thought. The parable shines clearest in the light of the circumstances. Jesu3 and his disciples are still on Olivet, over looking Jerusalem and the Temple in all their glory. Jesus had just fore tsdd their destruction. Let. the dis ciples learn a necessary lesson from the cause of that ruin. Many and great talents had been committed to the Jewish nation. No nation had ever received so great a trust as they the divine Revelation, religious truth, and best of all the Messiah, the Son of God; and thus power to become a blessing to all the world. This nation had refused to use these talents intrusted to them; again and again they had buried the talent in stead of using it; and now they were about to murder their Messiah, In stead of using him, and thus to bury this talent in the earth. The parable lay in full view before the disciples' eyes. What the city then was, multiplied into the new Jerusalem of the Revelation, could have been theirs evermore by faithful use of the divinely entrusted talents. The loss of all, "the outer darkness," "the weeping and gnashing of teeth," as the fruit of unfaithfulness, lay in the prophetic vision shown by Christ. And now that buried ta.cnt was brought forth and was to be entrusted to the disciples and to the Christian church they were to found. The five talents were now offered to them, and the vital question was what they would do with them. The two courses were made very plain to them by the parable. It was written in letters of light on their sky, printed indelibly on their minds. A man traveling into a far country, and therefore wishing to leave his af fairs in competent hands. He repre sents Jesus Christ who was about to leave his disciples and go to heaven, which wa3 a far country in the sense that his servants could not have vis ible communication with him. He was to leave the spread of the gospel, and the salvation of the world in the hands of his disciples, although he was with them in invisible but real presence. The servants denote all those to whom the interests of the kingdom of heaven were entrusted. The Jewish rulers are among those represented by the manwith one talent, for they looked upon the kingdom of God placed in their charge as a matter of small account compared with their own sel fish interests. The apostles and early Christian leaders received some five talents, some two, some one; and so do all Christ's professed followers, and all who have received from Christ the privileges and blessings of his gospel. The principle applies to all men, for all have been entrusted by God with many things. Robert Louis Stevenson was talking one day to the children of a school in Samoa about the Parable of the Tal ents, and told them there were three possessed by them all. Tongues, to be used to make all about them cheerful and happy. Faces, to be kept as bright as a new silver coin, that they might shine like lamps in their homes. Hands, to be kept employed in useful work cheerfully done. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant. He had his lord's approval. Faithfulness, not success, nor the amount gained, was rewarded. God will say "Well done" only to those who have done well. There are no empty compli ments in the day of judgment. "Han del tells us that when he wrote the 'Hallelujah Chorus' he saw the heav ens opened and all the angels and the great God himself!" A modest man of moderate ability said that he could not expect God's Well done, but he did expect that he would say, Well tried; Well attempted. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord, participate in his joy and share with him In his pleasure, tho same kind of joy which our Lord himself feels. Leighton's words on this en tering into the joy of the Lord are beautiful: "It Is but little we can re ceive here, some drops of joy that enter Into us, but there ve shall enter into joy, as vessels put into a sea of happiness." The joy of tho Lord Jesu3 Christ, of which the faithful, like him, shall partake in some meas ure here, and in its fullness hereafter, is the joy of a free activity In doing right, like the joy of motion in health, like the song of a bird in the morning. Edward Everett Hale writing of George Washington says: "He was always subordinating himself to the duty that wa3 before him. He was born, as we saw, to small opportuni ties; he made them great. He was educated with camparatively small advantages; he made them the first of advantages. He was brought up among simple people. He learned among the simple people the way in which to dictate to .kings and to han dle general;:. You must let mo rever ently repeat the word3 of Scripture: 'He was faithful in a few thir.gs; he was made ruler over many things.'

We called in a doctor. He said it was eczema and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. Ills face, head and bands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had .to tie his little hands to keep him from scratching. He never knew what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. "Finally I got a set of the Cuticura Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see If it would return but it never has and to-day his skin Is clear and fair as it possibly could be. I hope Cuticura may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan., Oct. 19, 1909." Flirting With Fashion. That innate tendency on the part of the fair consumer to flirt with fash ion, playing fast and loose with vari ous commodities, is responsible for the uncertainties that have prevailed during the month. There was such a lack of confidence as to the ultimate acceptance of the various lines pre pared by distributers and consumers that buying was somewhat minimized. Prosperity or adversity has nothing to do with the millinery business. Fash ion alone makes or breaks. Millinery Trade Review. Why He Wouldn't Hurry. They were riding to church and were late. Several of the party were worried and one remarked: "The au dience will be waiting." "Well," ob served the old pastor (who was to preach that forenoon), "don't let's fret over it if we are a little late. It re minds me of the man who was being taken to execution. His guards were greatly exercised over the fact that they could not possibly get there On time. 'Never mind,' said the poor fel low, philosophically. 'Don't fuss over It. The people can wait.

The benches in the waiting rooms at the Union depot in Kansas City are used for other purposes than to rest on by travelers, the Kansas City Star enlightens us. At every midnight the maids clean out the rooms. They do not forget to poke under the benches for stray bundles left by trust ing travelers. Sometimes, after intervals, the trav elers return to claim their property. Some time ago a red cap at the depot saw a man in a linen duster, a felt hat and the manner of one who had spent his life in a secluded part of the Ozarks get down on his knees and peer carefully under several of the benches. "Lost anything, mister?" the red cap queried. "Wall, no, sonny, not a'zactly. I left a pair of rubbers here last January when I was on the way tew Emporey. Hain't seen nuthin' of 'em, have you?" The red cap explained that he hadn't, and, moreover, that the room had been cleaned out several dozen times since last January. "Well, I swan," replied the traveler, blinking and stroking his beard, "the city methods do beat me." FAIRLY WARNED.

"I was sick in bed half the time, and suffered a great deal from neu ralgia of the stomach.
