During the riots In Londonderry, when the old Roman city was divided Into hostile camps of belligerent Protestants and Catholics, an associate of mine, who went there to report the developments for the Times, was arrested, first by one camp and later by another. Each time he was released, end he was finally given the freedom of the city. When asked how It happened, he replied that, being charged with espionage, he was closely questioned; but his fate was decided by his answer to one leading question, which both parties asked: “Are you Catholic or Protestant?" His reply was simple and effective. “Neither—Journalist." —Carl W. Ackerman In Atlantic Monthly.

g | $ ¥ A Weather Breeder K k r« I — S By H. IRVING KING * by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) With Philip Holt and Helen Carew the course of true love was running altogether too smoothly—there was not a ripple on the surface, not a shadow in the depths. They were deeply enamored of each other, her parents were pleased with the match, Philip had a good position, money of his own and expectations from his great aunt, an aged spinster, one Catherine Geoghan. In short, the conditions were abnormal. Any one at all weatherwise will tell you that there are sometimes days so superlatively beautiful that a severe storm may be looked for In the near future. Such days are called weather-breeders. One day Philip, who was calling upon Helen —he spent a good share of his time now at that occupation—said suddenlj - : “There ! 1 forgot to write to Aunt Kate today. This was my day for writing her; but my head is so full of you that I forgot everything else, you dear girl I” “Sit right down there at my desk and write her now,” replied Helen. “I’ll play yon some of that Harrigan and Hart music you like so well while you write.” A wor» about this rich Aunt Kate. A part of her time she spent on a farm she owned in New Hampshire and a part of her time In New York. Except that she was a rather eccentric body this was about all that Philip had told concerning her. Kate had never seen her; but they were to visit her on their wedding tour. Helen seated herself at the piano and began those airs once so popular; presently breaking into song with "Love, bring out your orange blossoms, put on your snow-white veil,” from “Cordelia's Aspirations.” There was in the living room one of those dinky little writing desks which women adore and men execrate. Philip seated himself at It and wrote. .He had completed his letter, put it In the envelope, sealed it and directed It when, so awkward was he in handling Helen’s foolish little Ivory-handled pen, a great glob of ink dropped on the face of the envelope. He tore oft the ruined envelope, crumpled it up and threw it into the beribboned little wastebasket by the side of the desk, substituted another envelope, directed it, pressed it on the blotting pad, sealed the letter and put It In his pocket. “There, that’s done! Now come and talk to me,” he said. It was late when Philip *left. How desolate the living room looked to Helen after his departure. “Dear Philip!" she sighed. Then her eye caught the discirded envelope—she had happened to be looking when he threw it away—and she picked it out the basket and smoothed It out. And this is what met her eyes: "Miss Fifie La Tour," with the addition of a New York address. Flfle La Tour! If that name did not suggest the footlights then nothing did. And he had said he was writing to his aunt! Out of the shadows which the piano lamp left lurking in the room the green-eyed monster crawled and seized upon Helen. She crept up to her room like a wounded dove with a broken wing. During a wakeful night and the dreary morning hours that followed Helen did a lot of thinking, her mood alternating between tearful despair and righteous Indignation. Helen took a resolution. She informed her mother —her father was away on a business trip—that she was going to New York. She packed a traveling bag, put her month’s allowance in her purse and departed. Arriving in the big city, she took a taxi and drove to the address of Miss Fifie La Tour, from whom she proposed to wrest the truth. The cave of the siren proved to be an old-fashioned dwelling stranded in that part of the me tropolls once known as Chelsea Village. A neat housemaid admitted her when she frigidly demanded to see Miss La Tour. It was an old-fashioned parlor into which she was shown, with “tidies” on the chairs, ghastly “enlarged crayon portraits” on the walls and a gilt basket of wax fruit under a glass on the marble-tipped table. “These chorus girls do get up the respectable in a thorough manner,” thought Helen. "I suppose there will be a respectably got-up guardian to match the parlor.” There was a considerable delay, and then entered, to her, the most astonishing person upon whom she had ever set eyes. It whs a little, bird-like old woman, dressed in many colors, beflounced and befurbelowed. From an obvious wig yellow curls hung down to her shoulders, and keen, merry old eyes looked out over

ARMADILLO AN ENEMY OF BIRDS

Feathered Creatures in Uruguay and Argentina Careful to Build Nests Out of His Reach. Armadillos are so plentiful in Uruguay and Argentina that visitors will perceive in the novelty shops dozens of their shells, usually turned upside down and ornamented by silk or quilted characters, so that they can be used as ladies’ work baskets. He can be found as far south as Patagonia, and here it is alleged during the tertiary period existed the giant armadillo, known as the Glyptodon, which grew to be as large as a present-day elephant. The fondness for birds’ eggs of the armadillo and other members of his family, in which they are joined by the big lizard, the iguana. Induces many birds to build their nests from mud and reed and attach them to the twigs of trees overhanging some river, where armadillo, sloth or iguana canDot possibly jump, climb or swim.

heavily rouged cheeks from eitnei side of a very beak of a nose. I Helen half expected her to go pecking at the wax cherries under the glass globe on the center table. She came in with a motion half flying, half dancing: her feet, ^lad in the tightest of white slippers, seemed scarcely to touch the floor. "I beg pardon,” said Helen starting up, “I wish to see Miss I.a Tour." “Well, my dear, you see her—all that's left of her, anyway. There was a time when people paid big money for seats to see Fifie La Tour. But that was years and years ago. One can't be young forever, though I do pretty well at it, don’t you think, my pretty dear?” “Do you know,” stammered the bewildered Helen, "a young man named Philip Hold?’ "Know him?” cried the old lady. Why, he’s my nevvy.” "You—you can’t—be Aunt Kate?" gasped Helen. "And why not, pray? And whom might you be, you little ducky?" "I —I’m Helen, he’s going to marry,” faltered the girl. And then she just broke down and shed tears —tears of repentance for her own mistrust of her lover and tears of pleasure that Philip was guiltless—and told her whole little story. The funny little old woman fairly cackled with laughter; she picked up her skirts and exercised the most astonishing pas de seuls; Helen was really afraid she would come to pieces. Then sinking Into a chair and catching her breath she said, “This is just too delicious. It's years ami years since Fifie La Tour has been mixed up in a love affair before, but in my day, my dear, thousands of women were frantically jealous of me, lam sure. La, la! And here I am over eighty and still suspected of being a siren.” Then, In a serious tone, she went on: “You see, my dear, I was once a ballet dancer — La Tour was my stage name, and 1 still keep it for general use and have all my letters so addressed. I know I am an old fool, but it" helps me to pretend to myself that I am still young. “Philip has never told you that I used to be a dancer at courts. That was a subject tabooed among the Holts and Geeghans—when they were alive, I mean. All dead now. All gone and under the sod. All but Philip.” And h great tear slid down one of the rouged and wrinkled cheeks. When Philip reached his lodgings L that night he found a telegram from Helen awaiting him saying: "Am on a visit to Aunt Kate. Will be home tomorrow.” He could scarcely wait for the morrow to know what It all meant. But the morrow came, and with it Helen and her explanation and confession. She forgave him, of course. In these i matters it is always the man who gets . Jockeyed into the position of being forgiven, and the course of their true love went running smoothly <>n again. Among the wedding presents was a beautiful silver tea service from “Miss Fifie La Tour.” Phosphorescent Light. Often has the ocean traveler remarked the greenish light which follows in the wake of his vessel. This Is one of nature’s firework displays. She rejoices in light, and has given many of her humblest creatures the power of creating it. On land we have the glow-worm and the firefly with their brilliatt torches. The creatures that Illuminate the summer sea are not fishes. They are tiny beasts which are almost invisible to the naked eye. Millions of them, each giving out a tiny point of light, make the waters glow as if countless electric lamps were burning beneath them. Almost all sea creature? possess this wonderful power to some degree. It is caused by the presence in their bodies of phosphorus, the substance which is used for making matches. If a box of matches is opened in the dark, a similar lurid glow may be perceived, coming from the head of each. Still Going Strong. “The idea!” stormed the handsome movie star. “What's the trouble?” “A firm of collar manufacturers had the effrontery to offer me a job as model.” “Cheer up, my boy. That’s a sign you haven’t lost your manly beauty.” —Birmingham Age-Herald. Boring Metals. Brass, copper, iron, steel and other metals are easily drilled if you use oil or grease as a lubricant. Do not try to drill too rapidly, and when nearly, through the metal go very slowly, as a drill may easily be broken by trying to turn it too rapidly as it pushes Itself through the surface. Disease as a Penalty. “Every disease,” says Dr. E. H. Dewey, “is an Inherited possibility, which every violation of the laws of life tends to develop. It is never simply an attack on a well person, but rather a summing up of more or less lifelong violations of health laws.”

The sloth is usually a climber and generally swings from the branches of trees, hanging downward, but he again regards a dish of nice fresh ants as a delicacy. The ant eater of South Africa is often found on the veldt far removed from wooaed lands, and here he makes his bed in a hole Just under the sand. It is not unusual to see a Boer riding across the veldt suddenly fly from his mount, while the horse sinks down to his shoulders, indicating that he has placed his feet on the spot above the burrowed home of an ant eater. His habit is to find a nice ant heap and to fashion a round hole at the base, whence his long tongue will penetrate all the corridors and lick off the antish inhabitants. American mining engineers and others trekking across the veldt often make ovens of their holes. To take paint off window panes trj washing with vinegar.

Copyright. 1*22 Wentern Newspaper Union LESSON FOR OCTOBER 1 BIRTH OF JOHN THE BAPTIST LESSON TEXT—Luke 15-33. 57-63. GOLDEN TEXT—He shall be great in the sight of the Lord, ajid he shall drink no wine nor strong drink.—Luke 1:15. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Isa. 40:3-5, Mal. 4:4-6. PRIMARY TOPIC—An Angel Brings Good News. JUNIOR TOPIC—The Birth of John the Baptist. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Preparation for the Corning of Christ. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Place and Work of John tire Baptist. We are today entering upon a six months' course of study in the Gospel of Luke, whose general subject is “Jesus the World's Savior." Today’s lesson concerns the birth of John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ. I. The Parents of John the Baptist (w. 5-7). 1. When They Lived (v. 5). “In the days of Herod the King.” They lived in a day when ungodliness was rife. The priesthood was very corrupt and the ruling classes were wicked. Zacharias and his wife lived tn a time when It was not »' easy to be godly. 2. Their Character (v. 6). They were righteous before God. To be righteous before God is a high tribute. Many appear to be righteous before men who are not righteous before God. Their Ilves were so mated that they walked In the commandments of the Lord blameless. How beautiful It is when husband and wife are united In the Lord and walk together In fellowship with God. The highest in wedded life can only be attained when both are united in Jesus Christ. Their prac tieal living was manifested in obedience to God's commands. 3. They Were Childless (v. 7). Though this godly couple were well mated and they possessed the joy of ■ the Ixird in their souls, there was a real lack tn that home. No home t» quite ideal Into which no child has come to gladden the hearts of the husband and wife. 11. The Birth of John Promised (vv. 8-17). 1. By Whom (v. 11; cf. v. 19). The angel Gabriel appeared and made known the good news to Zacharias. Tills exalted being, the special mes sengvr of God, was sent to make this disclosure. 2. When (vv. 8-14). While officlat ing as priest this good news came to him. Zacharias must have been definitely praying about this \ery matter (v. 13). As he burned incense, which typified prayer, the multitude without were praying. 3. Characteristic's of the Child (w 15-17). (1) Shall be great In the sight of the Lord (v. 15). Though the people did not greatly esteem him he was highly esteemed by the Lord. This is infinitely better than if he had been greatly esteemed in the eyes of men or in his own eyes. This Is the esteem for which we all should long and pray. (2) Shall drink neither wine nor strong drink (v. 15). The child shall become a Nazarite, separating himself from the sensuous things and dedicating himself to the service of the Lord. (3) Be filled with the Holy Ghost (v. 15). The energy of the dlvlne Spirit would enable him to lead the people to repentance (v. 16). (4) Shall go In the spirit and power of Elijah (v. 17). In this power he was to prepare the people for the coming of the Savior and the salvation which He was to bring. 111. Zacharias Asking for a Sign (vv. 18-23). Although the aged priest was earnestly praying for the salvation of Israel the gracious promise of the angel, which was the beginning of that salvation, staggered his faith. He was unable to believe that that for which he fondly hoped and prayed would be realized. The angel gave Zacharias a sign. He was smitten with dumbness which was to continue until the fulfillment of the promise. Because he refused to praise God in faith for this gracious promise God caused his tongue to be silent until the promise was fulfilled and his lips could open in thanksgiving and praise. Though he was thus rebuked, at the same time his faith was strengthened by the, manifestation of the supernatural. God wants us to trust Him, to believe his promises, no matter how contrary to reason they may seem. IV. The Proraise Fulfilled (vv. 5763). When the time came for the birth of John, Elizabeth brought forth a son and the neighbors rejoiced with her. On the eighth day they clrcumclzed the child and gave him a name according to the instruction of the angel (v. 13). The name John was contrary to the family custom. By means of writing Zacharias made known the name which he would have by divine instruction." At this time God opened the mouth of Zacharias and he offered up praise. God Wifi Repay. If another is unjust or Injurious, has not God said He would repay? But we may think Him slow. We may doubt if He will remember and attend to our matters. So we use our hands and our tongues to give others what we feel they deserve. We doubt God and make things worse. "Be long suffering toward all,” following the example of Jesus, "Who reviled not again; when He suffered threatened not; but committed Himself to Him that Judgeth righteously.” Humbling the Haughty. Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall lop tiie bough with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down, and the haughty shall be humbled.—lsaiah 10:33. e

The mule was lying on tiie floor of the barn. "I doan' wan no dald mule," said Sambo. “He ain't dald.” said Mose; and with his whip he forced the mule to ! a standing posture. But Sambo remained cold on the proposition. “Ah see he ain’t dald,” said Sambo. "But he kaln't run, an' Ah done wants a mule as runs.” Mose, thus challenged, with a vigorous kick so energized the mule that away It went, running down the street, with marvelous speed. But Sara's delight at the activity of the mule was short-lived, for bang, the mule ran head-on Into a tree. “Fo’ de lord,” exclaimed Sam, “be ain't dald; he kin run, but he’s blind. Ah, doan' wan no blind mule.” “What's dat you say?” cried Mose. “You all calls a mule like dat blind? Why, lordy, lordy, boy, dat mule ain’t blind. He Jes doan' give a whoop!" —Judge.

SUCH IS LIFE IN NEW YORK Unfinished Story Might Be Entitled “What Would You Have Done in This Case?" For the first time In his life Ogden Carter found himself studying the prices on the menu card. He had only $5 in his pocket, and $5 does not go far in the GUtmore Grill. It requires close figuring to get a square meal out of such an Insignificant sum and still have enough left for the waiter's tip. It may seem strange that a man so poorly supplied with cash should select such a place to dine, but this was a special occasion. It was to be Og- ’ den Carter's farewell to life. As soon as it was finished he Intended to walk down to the river and end it all. He t had learned that day that he was a ruined man. The'ss bill In his pocket was the last remnant of his fortune. There was nothing left to live for. Ignoring the waiter’s recommendations of the more expensive viands. Carter ordered a dinner which came to exactly $4.50. That would leave 50 cents for the waiter; not so much as that worthy would expect, it is true, but still enough. As Carter • as never coming there again, it would not matter If the waiter was disgruntled. Ills frugal repast at an end. Carter laid the $5 bill on the waiter's tray i and sauntered toward the coatroom to get his hat and stick. As he approached the spot he felt mechanically in his pocket for the accustomed coin. With a start he realized that In calculating the amount which he could spend for his last dinner on earth he had forgotten this important Item. Hurrying past the coatroom he went Into the hotel lobby and sat down to think. There must be some way out of this frightful dilemma. He searched his pockets again—not so much as a penny—and he needed a dime at the very least. To demand his hat and stick and then go away without tipping the attendant was unthinkable. To go out on the street without them was equally Impossible. And so he sat there and thought and thought and thought. For all I know, he may be sitting there still, observes a New York Sun writer.
