Child Cross? Feverish? Sick?

JOHNNY MOUSE IN THE FIELD OF ADVENTURE.
By the Professor.
Professor Jones and Mrs. Jones were both of the type colloquially known as strawberry blonds. In accordance with the immemorial custom of professors’ families on small salaries at this particular southern college, the Jones family grew apace. Mary, the first, was born, and her hair came perilously near to being cerise. The twins lost to Mary In respect bf red hair by Just a shade. Johnny, the next, bade fair at three months to make Mary seem a neutral color. Now, Mrs. Jones longed for just one black haired one. When the learned professor of ology from the scientific department dropped in for supper Mrs. Jones almost tearfully propounded to him a question. r “Oh, doctor,” she “do you think it must always be hereditary?” The doctor looked from the aureoles of Professor and Mrs. Jones to the successive four alarms of fire red hair on the little Joneses. “Not so much that,” he assured her at last, “as redbeditary.”—New York Post.
Suspicious.
“There’s something, the matter with that man. 1 know it.” “What do you mean?” •> — “There’s something about his character that Is bad.” “How can you say that? He’s a man of standing In this community.” “I don’t care. I wouldn’t trust him.” “What a silly Idea! His honor has never been questioned.” “Oh, yes, it has, and that’s why I say that with all his fine outward show there’s something bad behind him.” “I don’t see what makes you say that. Everybody knows he’s all right.” “My suspicions have been confirmed. Wasn’t he drawn on a Jury the other day and didn’t the lawyer for the defense peremptorily discharge him? That lawyer wouldn’t have him in the case for anything.”—Detroit Free Press.
Lost Her Place.
Gertrude, aged three, sat In her high chair at the dinner table turning about In her fingers a small ear of corn, from which she had been nibbling a row at a time. Suddenly she burst into tears. “What is the matter, dear?” asked her mother. “I’ve lost my place!” sobbed the little one.—Delineator.
Anxiety.
“I understand that you are going to retire from politics,” said the friend. “Well,” replied Senator Sorghum, "1 put that rumor out among my constituents as a sort of feeler. It was received with so much enthusiasm that I’m afraid it’s going to come true.”—Washington Star.
On a Common Level.
Consoling Friend—Cheer up, old chap! At best the only difference between poetry and poverty is a Despondent Poet—Yes; I know. The o(we) is just the same in both of them. —-Judge.

The Troubles of an Old Bachelor.
He has to get up early and start the fires as he has no wife to do it for him. Then he goes out and does his chores and comes back and gets his breakfast—if the fire has not gone out. If it has, he will have to build another one. At noon he comes in from his work, feeds his horses and he has to go to work and get his dinner, which ought to have been waiting for him or’at least ready to set on the table. It is the same way at night again. After he washes the dikhtes he is good and ready to go to bed. If anybody would like the job as assistant, they may apply for It. They may be in favor of ‘‘votes for women;” I do not care so long as they stay at home on Saturday nights. They will have to keep an eye on the setting hens that are setting close together so that they will not steal one another’s eggs, and watch the sponge when I am making bread, so that It does not push the lid off the crock and run all over the floor, because the floor is dirty. I do not care if she goes to church or not on Siinday so long as she is willing to let me go. But she cannot be in favor of Tom Watson for president. I want the chickens from the dark Plymouth Rock hen, for I like that kind. She can have the others. She does not have to mend my socks, as I wear the hole-proof kind. I want my Sunday shirts ironed, but the others it does not matter. She does not have to be good looking so long as she is everything else. None who cannot fill these requirements need apply. I need one badly. 1 *** P. S.—This is later. The bill has been filled, and none need apply.

THEFT OF THE KING’S WARRANT
Minion of Royalty Outwitted by a Girl.
Mary O’Rourke was a typical Irish girl—light hair with a tinge of red in it and a complexion like a ripe peach. Mary lived iu stirring times, when the people were struggling to he free from what they deemed the tyranny of the British sovereign.
Of one of Erin's partisans she had heard a great deal, but had never seeu him. Dennis Shea was a young rebel taking an active part in the efforts to throw off British supremacy and was rapidly becoming a leader. The government was watching for some overt act on his part that would afford an excuse for his arrest and condemnation for treason. But of this the young patriot knew nothing. A gifted orator, he continued to speak to ids countrymen of Ireland's wrongs. Mary lived in a house with an English family who were very bitter against the Irish patriots. Donald Trevor, the head of the family, was a pursy, red faced, rotund man—indeed, a veritable John Bull, who didn't con ceal his opinions. One evening when the mail coach stopped at the town a passenger a lighted and asked for the homo of Donald Trevor. It was pointed out to him, and, with his traveling bag, lie went to it and knocked. Mary opened the door, and the stranger said that he had been recommended to the house to stop, since Mr. Trevor was a stanch supporter of the king. Trevor took him in.
This especial treatment of the stranger made Mary curious to know who he was. Tile best way to learn was to listen when Trevor and lie were talking together. This was not very practicable, but Mary kept her ears open when near to the two men and knew they were excitedly talking about measures to hold the Irish in check. Then she caught the name Shea. This Induced her to take the chance of being discovered eavesdropping by remaining behind a screen when she was supposed to have left the room. The two men were excitedly discussing the Irish cause, and she heard the stranger say:
“I have in my bag the king’s warrant for his arrest. He will be tried at the next assizes, and within a month after that he will swing.” This was quite enough for Mary. She went to the stranger’s room, opened hts bag, took out a parchment, unfolded it and saw the name Dennis Shea engrossed in large letters. Tucking it under her apron string, she closed the bag and. taking the warrant to her own room, touched a match to It and burned it.
There is In the Irish people a love which shows itself In the most nemuis moments. Seeing a pack of playfnpfc&rds on a table. .Mary took them up and. placing the knave of spades as the top card, she wrote on it, “I’m diggiu’ your grave.” Then she went back to the stranger’s room and placed the cards in the bag where she had found the warrant. This happened on the morning of the stranger’s departure, and he did not open his bag again till he arrived at the place where be had been told he would find Rhea. The rebel was to speak that evening iu the town square, and shortly before the meeting the king’s messenger opened his bag to takeout his warrant. In Its place was the knave of spades leering at him with the words Mary had written below.
Here was a pretty pass. The Britisher w’as-obliged to leave the Irißh rebel to talk his "treason” without Interference. There was no use to hunt for his missing warrant, for he had no idea where he had lost it, and he did not doubt that some sympathizer with the Irish cause bad destroyed it. He must get another warrant. But a journey to England in those days and return was not the simple matter it Is today. One must go to the coast over muddy roads by the Blow coaches of that period, wait for a vessel to take him across the Irish channel and nearly cross England on a similar coach Journey to London. Then he must pass over the same route in return. ( There was nothing for the messenger but this long trip, but with true Eng llsh persistence he started on his way.
The next day Dennis Shea received a call from a young woman who was a stranger to him. She was Mary O’Kourke. “What can I do for you?" asked Shea. » “Go into hidin’.” "Explain.” v Mary told the story of the stranger who had stopped at the bouse where she lived and what she had learned about the warrant She had got thus far in her story when Shea broke in: “And you t have come to warn me? Noble girl!” “There’s no hurry for you to be partin’ with your friends,” she said. “Why not?’ “I stole the warrant, bushed it and put 9 pack of cards in its place with the knave of spades uppermost, so that when he opened bis bag he’d see it starin’ at him.” This was too much for Shea. He sprang for Mary, took her in his arms and covered her face with kisses. Maty made no protest. When the king’s messenger reached London he found that the king had died during bis absence, and the new sovereign mode a change in the Irish policy. And Mary In due course of Umo became Mrs. Shea.
BROOKLYN TABERNACLE
WHERE WERE THE NINE? Luke 17:11-19 May 31. “ IV ere there none fOttnd that- returned to give vlory to Cod, »uvt> this alien f"— Verse 13. CITE essence of today’s lesson Is gratitude. It is impossible to imagine a perfect'being as acceptable to God without' this quality. We might almost. say that the degree of our acceptance with God is measured by our gratitude, it leads to obedience to 1 )iv ine laws aml reg ilia tious, whether understood or not. it leads to self-sacrificing labors in the service of God, and according to a Divide automatic arrangement has its blessings. —Homans 8:28.
Jesus was ■.'approaching Jerusalem by way of Samaria. It is surmised that this was 1 Lis last journey to Jerusalem, which eventuated in His death. Ten lepers sitting by tie roadside heard, that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by, and Immediately called to Him, "Master, have mercy upon us!” He replied, "Go show yourselves to the priests.” According to God's arrangement with tlie Jews under their Daw Covenant. they were to have no sickness except as these Would represent sins; and the priests were to pass judgment upon cases of leprosy. Our Lord's direction tlint, the lepers show themselves to the priests Implies that by the time they would reach their destination they would lx? healed. The lepers must have exercised great faith; for instead of crying out for instantaneous healing, they started for the priest. They had goV*Juut a short distance when they found themselves cured.
We can Imagine with what joy tiiey hastened for the priest’s approval, in order to return to their families. Butoneof them returned and fell at Jesus’ feet, giving Ilim thanks. We cannot doubt that he would receive a great blessing eventually, though not then; for he
was a Samaritan, an alien from the commonwealth of Israel.
Another Crumb of Favor. In his cuso the healing was a crumb from the children’s table; for the rich, man had not died—God’s favor had not yet departed from Israel. Jesus had not yet uttered the fateful words, -Your House is left unto you desolate.” Nay, it was three and a half years after Jesus’ death before the individual favor to the Jews terminated to such an extent that the Gospel could go to the Gentiles.—Acts 10.
Had the returning leper been a Jew, no doubt lie would ha re been invited to become a follower of Jesus. But because he was a Samaritan, Jesus merely said, "Arise and go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.” Doubtless, when the flme came for opening the door to the Gentiles, this grateful Samaritan was amongst those who gladly made consecration to God. Ten Healed —Where Were the Nine? Jesus called public attention to the fact that only one qf the ten healed had returned to give glory to God. True, He had not asked them to acknowledge the Divine Power that wrought through Him. True, they bad done exactly what He had told them to do. But why did He not bargain with them, saying, If I heal you. will you become My disciples? Why did not He take this method of adding to the number of His disciples? The preaching of Jesus and the Apostles is In strong contrast with much of the preaching of evangelists, revivalists, etc. Never did Jesus or the Apostles urge worldly people to become disciples of Christ. They merely declared certain great facts, and accepted those who were thus influenced. They reasoned of sin. of righteousness and of a coming time of decision, or Judgment and left the matter with the individual conscience. They told that those who forsake sin ami turn to God may have forgiveness and recoucllla-

by Jesus and the Apostles to obtuiu recruits for the Lord's army by a “bip-hip-hurrah” process. In this we are not criticising others, but merely calling attention to facts, which should guide all who seek to know and to do God’s will. The Samaritan of our lesson represents a class of grateful followers of the Lord who seek to give Him glory in their thoughts, words and doings; while the majority of those who similarly have received His favor are disposed to pursue the ambitus and the pleasures of the present life. Neglecting to take the path which the Master trod, they yvill not reach the glory, houor and Immortality which He attained and to which He has called all of His followers. Many Christian people are growing in the opinion that we are living! today in a time of crucial trial as respects those who have made a covenant with God. They believe that we are nearing thetime when the Church, the Body of Christ, will be received by the Lord in the Resurrection change to be His ’ Bride. , . ■ 'y 1 ✓ " -

tion through the blood of Christ. They told of a Heavenly Call for all such penitents who would consecrate their lives wholly to God and to righteousness. The point we make is that according to the Bible no attempts were ever made
