That H Telephone H H Pole < ► By Clara Inez Deacon < ► (Copyright, 1912, by Associated Literary Press.) Little Nell Adams, as most of her friends called her, had been invited to spend a couple of weeks with her old nurse In the country, and she had arrived In the midst of trouble and lamentation. Mrs. Culver, the old I nurse, was laid up with a sprained 1 ankle; one of the pigs had just gone 1 crazy and would surely die; a hawk ' had descended on the big rooster and borne him away, and the suburban telephone company was getting ready to plant one of its poles in front of the gate. Mr. Culver was a quiet, humble man, and they had bluffed I him. It was while she was out In the i road “sassing” the workmen for ths i company that the wife turned her ' ankle. Little Nell listened to the tale of trouble, and then with her chin in the air and her eyes flashlpg she asked of the husband: “Are you a man or a mouse?” “But they’ve got the law on their side,” he protested. “And Aunt Joe has got me on her - side- It’s a good thing I came. They don’t plant a pole in front of this gate! How many of the company’s men are there?” “A big dozen.” “Humph! Only that many? ; Why, I can sass twenty at once!” “Os course she can, the little dear,” observed the wife. “Look how her brown eyes are turning black and the color coming to cheeks! Oh, I needed her! I’ve got a husband that dasn’t speak above a whisper, but wait ’till the dear child gets to talking! Why, she was scarcely an hour bld when she was telling the doctor what was what! She’ll never let ’em put that pole up.” “I saw that they had dug the hole for it.” “And this afternoon the pole will be up,” added the husband. “We’ll*see about that!” said the girl as she tossed her head. “You leave it to me and don’t mix in. Uncle Jim* you simply keep watch and let ? • job Ft She Marched Out With Her Gun. me know when they are coming. Aunt Joe, you sit still hnd let that ankle get well. Is there a gun around the house?” “Guns and shootings and hangings!” groaned the man as he turned pale. “You never mind, but hunt up that old pistol for the dear, brave child. I thing it’s hanging in the woodshed. Yes, hanging in the woodshed, and you letting folks plant a telephone pole right in front of our gate to destroy the value of our property! Alas, but did I fall in love with a grasshopper or a man!” “Ybu’ll not get me- hung?” anxiously asked the husband as he brought in the deadly weapon an# handed It to the girl. — “I shall do all the shooting with my own hand,” was the firm reply. “Os course she will—of course she will,” added Aunt Jone. “If this farm is bathed in blood it’ll be because the dear girl that I was nurse to for so many years is compelled to kill ten or twelve fiends in human form. Oh, man, you can be hiding behind the currant bushes while my angel is strewing the ground with corpses!” This conversation took place at about 10 o’clock In the morning. At 3 in the afternoon Uncle Jim, who had

Indianapolis Man With Peculiar Name Realizes That It Might Have Been Worse. At a recent supper given by the Lambs at Chicago, George Ade told al. story about O. R- Johnson of the" InSli napolis News. “Sam Blythe and I were standing in the lobby of the Hotel Astor, in New York," said Mr. Ade, “when Johnson antered. ‘“There goes O. Romeo Johnson of the Indianapolis News,’ I said to Sam. ‘“Who?’ said Sam. “*O. Romeo Johnson,’ I repeated. " ‘Go and bring him over,’ said i Blythe. ‘I would like to meet a man with a name like that’ “I went after Johnson and introduced him, and after we had talked (or a while, Blythe said: T don’t vrtsh ] to appear too inquisitive, Mr. John- : son, but I would like to know what your parents had against’ you that they gave you such a name as O. Romeo?’

been placed on guard, came running in to announce that the enemy was in sight. The hole had been dug the day before; now came the gang of pole raisers. Miss Nell marched out with her gun; behind her came Uncle Jim with a rocking chair, a pitcher of Wter and a palm-leaf fan; Aunt Joe could not hobble to the window, but she applauded. The rocking chair was placed over the post-hole, and the girl sat down with the gun across her lap. “If it’s hung for murder you are don’t blame me!” said the man as he retreated to shelter with wobbling knees. The foreman of the gang surveyed the girl under the sharp of his hand for a distance, and then slowly approached. He looked all around for Culver. He looked at the girl. He looked at the deadly weapon. “Is it about the pole?” he asked as he rested his foot on it. Miss Nell nodded her head. “They don’t want it here?" Miss Nell shook her head. “And it’s murder on the high seas if we try to raise it?” Miss Nell handled the weapon as if she had been used to shooting three or four men a day since happy hours. “Then, begobs, the civil engineer can take the bullets himself, and there he comes!” said the foreman as he walked away. The engineer of the line was approaching in a buggy, holding the reins himself and gazing at the goodlooking girl in the rocking chair. He the vehicle opposite and raised his hat. In response he received a slight bow. He got out of the buggy and approached and observed: “Fine day, Miss?” “Not for putting up an old telephone pole here?” was the answer. He liked the girl and the answer. He liked the way she held her chin in the air. Her eyes were big and brown, and they looked right at him. He was young and susceptible. That is, he hadn’t been all along, but he was now. - He was looking at the girl in the chair respectfully and soberly when all at once he burst out laughing. Miss’ Nell half-pointed the gun in his direction. “Why, it’s about the old weapon I was laughing!” he explained. “It isn’t loaded. It is rusty. It has neither hammer nor trigger.” “But the pole shall not go up here, sir,” was the reply. “Bless you, is it the pole? Why, I. thought you were taking a sun-bath. The Culvers object to the pole, do they?” “Certainly.” “And you are here to champion their cause? Why, if there is any objection to the pole it shall be placed further along. Please don’t sit in the sun unless you really want to. I also observe that the chair is in an awkward position. If Mr. Culver had any objections——” “He’s a grasshopper!” interrupted the girl. “Btit if his wife ” “She was out here fighting for her rights when she sprained her ankle, I just came this morning. I am not afraid to talk up to anybody. Couldn’t I have shot any one with this pistol?” “Hardly, and I am glad it didn’t go as far as that. I pledge you my word the pole shall not go up here, and you can retire from the contest with honors. I —I—that is, it strikes me that I ought to call this evening and see about Mrs. Culver’s ankle. As the engineer of the line ——” “Has civil engineering got anything to do with sprained ankles?” asked Miss Nell as he gave her a hand to help her out of the lop-sided chair. “Only in the way of begging her pardon and extending sympathy. I ( will place the chair Inside the fence, and the deadly old weapon can be restored to its hook. You were prepared to sit here all night?” “Yes, sir, and for a week longer.” “Just so, but you are saved the trouble. Did you ever see a telephone pole raised to position. Miss— Miss-*?” “I know this one won’t go up here!” “That is settled. The raising of poles is rather a curious performance. I will call this evening to tell you all about it, and to inquire about the sprained ankle. Yes, rather a curious performance.” “They have to get the girl out of the way first, don’t they?” was the impertinent query. “Well, I didn’t hear the gun go off and anybody scream?” said Aunt Joe as Miss Nell entered the house and then peered out of a window at the departing young man. “Say, aunt, he was as nice as he could be,” was the reply. “He has black eyes, dark hair, and ’’ “Why that’s young Bob Thomas, the engineer of the road. That settles it. He’d be sure to call, and you’ll like each other, and you’ll slay all summer, and he’ll be here half the time, and afore fall comes he’ll ask you •” Miss Nell put her hand over the other’s mouth, but it turned out that way, just the same, and the old pistol will have a place among the parlor bric-a-brac.

& - “‘I don’jt mind telling you/ said Johnson. ‘You see, my folks live in a rural district of Indiana and had few opportunities to visit the theater or see anything of the outside world. In 1876, shortly before I was born, they went to Philadelphia to attend -I\i centennial, and while there went almost every evening to see Edwin Booth in his Shakespearean repertoire. On the last night of their stay Booth produced “Romeo and Juliet.” and my parents were so impressed by the performance that they determined to name their next child Romeo, if it were a boy, and Juliet, if it were a gid. That’s how I got my name. “‘I can’t say that I am proud of being named Romeo, but J should really be thankful that I didn’.t get a worse one. - The evening after my parents left Philadelphia Mr. Booth put on “Pygmalion and Galatea.” It’s easy to get people to weep tears the trick is to get them io weep dollars.

ADVANTAGE OF RUGS EASY TO SEE THEIR SUPERIORITY OVER CARPETS. Excellent Floor Coverings May Be Purchased at Moderate Prices—- * Linoleum for the Kitchen and Bathroom Is Important It ought not to be necessary to point out wherein rugs have the advantage over carpets. Tacked down floor coverings are no longer countenanced by thoughtful people. “But,” somebody may object “the cost of replacing carpets by rugs is too expensive an item to consider.” Perhaps so, if attempted all at once, but if brought about gradually it will not seem a heavy burden. There-are substitutes for the more costly rugs for sale at moderate prices. The washable cotton rugs for use in the bathrooms or even bedrooms will appeal to the woman-of modest means. While combining practicability and cheapness, they are attractive at the same time. The so-called “grass” coverings should not be overlooked in this matter of desirable floor furnishings. Nearly all the department stores carry them, and the larger firms have a mail order department always at the ready service of the out-of-town customer. \ Again, handsome and durable rugs may be made of odds and ends of old carpets. This work can be placed in the hands of certain manufacturers who make a specialty of it, or the weaving can be done at home. Just a word in regard to one objection brought against rugs of light weight—namely, their tendency to curl up around the edges. To counteract this difficulty ’there are rug fasteners — compact little devices consisting of flat-headed pins to be nailed to the floor, with coresponding metal hooks which are slipped over them after being attached to the rug. The subject of kitchen and bathroom , linoleums is an important one. Get as good a quality as your purse will allow; it in the end. The Inlaid variety in which the pattern remains intact as long as there is anything left of the linoleum itself, will give far better service than the printed kind, which looks well only as long as the surface remains in fair condition. As a good preservative, two coats of good floor varnish may be given the linoleum. SHOE POCKET FOR BEDROOM Convenient Article That Takes Up Little Space, and May Be Called an Ornament.

FOR THE MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN Designs In Scarfs Are an Important Part of the Genera! Scheme of Costuming. Flat, narrow scarfs for stout or short women are so long that they make defined stripes running from her shoulders to her feet. These scarfs are smart-looking in black chiffon or grenadine banded at intervals with perpendicularly placed two-inch wide ribbons of velvet or satin in black or white. Sometimes filet or Irlch lace bands are employed in lieu of the ribbon, but at the ends of the scarf there should not be any trimmings other than a tassel in self color, as a fringe or any sort of banding makes 'a distinct break which takes from the height. - . Little scarfs of soft black silk areof light-weight serge or heavy linen, the principal trimmings of the frocks I that are so extensively worn by the smart dressers among middle-aged women. These little scarfs issue from under a turn-over, wide collar, with

pocket Is designed to hang, but pale pink silk and white ribbon and pint and white cord w?uld make a very pretty little article, or pale green silk with pale pink ribbon and a pale green and pink cord would be equally delicate and effective. ASBURY PARK BATHING SUIT I rtti / W G| Iff W ' \\' ■ Eg 11® This suit is of black Sicilian-Hedged with magpie silk. The daisies in the stockings are culled by the fair wearer from the fields as she passes to the bathing beach, giving it a sort of striking effect. This suit is both for fresh and salt water 'wear. Elbow Gloves In Favor. On the best authority it is said that in the wholesale houses not only in America, but in France and England as well, there has been this season a bigger demand for elbow length silk gloves than there has been for at least five years. At the same time the manufacturers at home and abroad have scarcely been able to supply the demand for long gloves of glace kid. These are facts that certainly contradict the rumor that we are going to wear long sleeves, and while there can be no doubt that many of the smartest houses are making longsleeved models, it. seems certain ,that they will have to wait at least until autumn to find them taken up with anything like enthusiasm. Variety In Hats. Hats are still claiming much attention, the black straws edged with ,' white, or with white crowns arrfong the most expensive of them. Hemp hats and chips are more costly than the Neapolitan straws, and black is the popular tone. Large hats are favorites, but small ones are so useful they cannot be displaced. Pink hemp hats, also black hemp combined with deep rose color are good sellers. These may be trimmed with pink roses or with blue forget-me-nots and black velvet ribbon in streamers and loops. Among millinery novelties is a bandbox for the baby’s hats, daintily painted in pink or blue on white cardboard. Hats and Headaches. Many women have headaches caused by hats trimmed too much on one side. The necessity for balancing brings a strain on the back of the neck. Put on the opposite side one or two small weights, such as dressmakers use on skirts and coats. This will relieve the strain and save many a headache. tand TOILET Don’t sleep facing the light; it will weaken the eyes. Hot lemonade without sugar is excellent for biliousness and bilious headaches. Never sleep in a room with closed windows; lower the upper sash an inch and raise the lower sash slightly; this will give a free circulation of air without creating a draft.

rounding corners and trimmings of black and white silk, put on as a banding border, or of hemstitched white chiffon. Either treatment has a subduing effect. Another smart little necktie suited to the middle-aged woman is the four-in-hand In black silk with a light-hued border upon it, which gives it a little snap without rendering its wearer absurd. Stockings of Veiling. Thread silk hose are not cobwebby enough to suit the fair Parisienne. This winter fresh-colored silk stockings of transparent fineness were worn with the neat buttoned boot of satin, suede or kid. Now veiling stockings are being shown in the Paris shops, and there is no difference between the texture of a Russian cross-barred net face veil, except that the stocking - s woven of stronger silk and the mesh Is elastic, with more stretching ■ quality than a veil usually possesses. The foot of the veiling stocking Is of thread silk and there is a band of thread silk aroufid the top for the accommodation of the garter clasps.

frmMIONAL SJNMSdIOOL Lesson (By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening Department, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JULY 14. THE SEED IN FOUR KINDS OF SOIL. LESSON TEXT—Mark 4:1-21. GOLDEN TEXT—“Receive with meekness the implanted word which is able to save your souls.” James I:2L Jesus tells us plainly why he taught so much by means of parables (Matt. 13:10-13) viz., to teach the truth to those who sought it, and to hide it from those who refused to receive it. The truth had to be taught, hence the parable, that those to whom it was. given to know the mysteries of the kingdom might know and understand but that to the others it might be hidden (Mark 4:11-12). We have in this lesson one of the best known of the master’s many parables. Like all the rest Jesus draws his picture from the common experiences of life. Jesus uses the fields, the home, etc., while Paul in his preaching and teaching draws from the city, the army, the markets, etc. We have in this picture the seed, the.sower and the soil. We must turn to tie parable accounts in Luke and Matthew to get the full and the complete picture. What is the- seed? Luke records that Jesus told the disciples that the seed is the word of God (Luke 8:11). J Mark also tells us practically the same thing in v. 14 of the lesson. A great deal is being made today of seed selection and some wonderful results have been obtained. How much more important for us who deal with immortal souls that we select the best, viz., the word of God. Sought Not Adulation. Next the sower (v. 4). Notice he went forth hot to S-O-A-R, nor is it recorded that he was S-O-R-E. He did not have a grouch nor did he enter Into his work that he might receive the adulation of men (Matt. 6:2). It is however the soil that seems to be most emphasized in this lesson, both in the direct teaching and also in the explanation of the parable. There are four kinds of soil and it is also very significant the manner by which the seed came into Contact with each kind of soil. “Some fell by the waysid'e.” The path was well trodden, the ground was preoccupied, e. g., used for other purposes rather than to yield a harvest. It was hard to be 'broken and hence it was an easy matter for the birds of the air (Satan v. 15) soon to pluck'ft away. We need to remembei - that if men receive with meekness the implanted word there will be of course no such opportunity for the evil one. The trouble is that in this case the word was not implanted. Thus it is thqt one-fourth of the seed is lost. That the result is a deplorable one is shown in Heb. 2:1-4. The seed in this case fell “by” the wayside, in the next it fell “on” the rocky ground. The first is the picture of the heedless, this is a picture of the superficial ones. Oh for a time they did run well, they even received the word with gladness (v, but they had no stability; they lacked the element of persistence; their surroundings were superficial, there was no chance for the seed to get a real grip upon their lives. Luke tells us what the master taught about the man who, before a tower sat down to consider the cost. We cannot build except upon a rock if the structure is to be a stable one. We must not play at our religion, ’tis a grim reality, a glorious abandonment. It must reach the bottomless deeps of our souls. All else must be eliminated. Three Fourths Lost. In the third place Jesus speaks of seed that fell “among” the thorns. Here in this worldly soil it is not so much the character of the soil as the character of that which already* occupied the soil ere the sower sowed the seed. The cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches and “other things” (v. 19) had so entered in that the good seed never had a real chance in the soil of that human heart, hence ft was choked and yielded no fruit. ’ There was no real grip of the will, no whole-hearted surrender. How often these thorns, “the cares of life,” keep the housewife, or the business man away from the word. How often the "deceitfulness of riches” snare men sp as to choke the word that at one time gave such promise In their lives. And then the “lusts and other things” which the evil one so well knows how to use that he may keep us from the word, for he knows that by it we may be saved (Luke 8:12). \ We have thus seen thr©e-fourths of the' word lost. Os the remaining fourth which fell “into” (R. V.) the good soil, not all yielded the same return. It all brought forth (v. 7) it all yielded, it all sprang up, but not all in the same ratio. We ought to remember at this point that this parable plainly teaches us that we who receive tim implanted seed, we who receive and obey shall in turn become the seed of the kingdom. If, as Luke records, we receive the word in good and honest hearts, if we hear it, hold it fast, it will bring forth fruit. The process will not necessarily be rapid, we will bring it forth with patience (Luke 8:15). God speaking by the mouth of Moses exclaimed: “Oh that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me and keep all of my commandments always that it might be well with them and their children forever.” (Deut. 5:29.)’ What is it to receive the word with meekness? Clearly it is a volitional act upon the part of him who hears. He allows the word to act. He does not furnish the life germ of the seed but does furnish the proper soil conditions whereby the germinating principle of the seed may bring forth fruit. It is a definite submission of our lives to the active principles of the Jiving word. With resoluteness we submit ourselves to its requirements and permit it to do its work of saving.

ALMOST FRANTIC WITH ITCHING ECZEMA "Eight years ago I got eczema all over my hands. My fingers fairly bled and it itched until it almost drove me frantic. The eruption began with Itching under the skin. It spread fast from between the fingers around the nails and all over the whole hands. I got a pair of rubber gloves in order to wash dishes. Then it spread all over the left side of my chest. A fine doctor treated the trouble two weeks, but did me no good. I cried night and day. Then I decided to try Cutlcura Soap and Ointment but without much hope as I had gone so long. There was a marked change the second day, and so on until I was entirely cured. The Cuticura Soap we have always kept in our home, and we decided after that lesson that It is a cheap soap in price and the very best in quality.
