, 0 — — * Polly, the Stay-at-Home > By MARTHA RHODES a । r n j. -i iii.ii r in inuwiii ( .©, 1823. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) J “Polly, sometimes 1 think I'll never * ask you to go anywhere with me again , —at least until there’s some chance , us my being accepted.” , If her darning needle had suddenly [ turned to a stick of dynamite and exi ploded in her fingers Polly would not [ have been more surprised than at such i an unprecedented outburst of indi- ' viduallty from the patient, long-suf-sering Dou. “Why, Don —you —you —I thought—” “Yes, I supose so,” shortly. "Be- • cause I’ve kept coming out and been ■ satisfied with seeing you here at home two nights a week for the last six years I suppose you thought I'd always keep coming and always be satisfied. But I’m only human, Polly. I—” “Do be reasonable. Don. Grandfather White—you know I can't leave him." “But you can leave me?” pointedly. Thus confronted with a blind alley, the amazed and fluttered Polly changed her tactics. “But, Don, I always thought that you wanted me to do what Is right for grandfather,” virtuously. “My being faithful to him now ought to l>e your surest proof that I’ll be true to you by and by.” “By and by I” disgustedly. “When a man's been put off until ‘by and by’ for six years I tell you he’d rather have a little faith and love in the present and take his chances on the ‘by and by.’ ” “But, Dun, why are you so particularly anxious for me to go to this house party? Is It anything special?” “No, nothing special. Does It take something special to Induce you to appear in public with your fiance?" As she had the grace to blush shamefacedly he continued: "It's just a reunion of my company. All my buddles found their sweethearts ready to marry them when they got back from ‘over there,’ and they’re all married now but me. I can’t even get my girl to go to the reunion with me,” bitterly. “You’re very critical tonight, Don." coldly. “Perhaps you can suggest some remedy?” “Yes, I can, and have been suggesting It ever since 1 got back. Marry me; we’ll take an apartment in town and your grandfather can live with us the rest of his life. Think of It, Polly! It’s two of us with our lives still before us against the notions of one old man.” Polly shook her head. “I can’t,” she groaned. “He wouldn't go. He says he’s too old to be transplanted." “I thought as much I Then have someone come in and stay with him part time, so you can get out and have a little pleasure.” Touched by his mollified mood, she said a little wistfully: "I would like to go to the party with you, Don. But what could I wear? I haven’t anything suitable, and I really can t afford anything new.” ‘Wear what you have. It's no dress affair —and—you look good to me, dear, in the clothes you have." “Pawle-e-ee I” called a querulous voice from the next room, and Polly, with a tired, perplexed sigh, rose to answer her grandfather’s summons. ******* Half an hour later as Polly was tiptoeing from her grandfather’s room, where she had finally succeeded in soothing him to sleep, she was startled by the screech of an automobile horn, followed by a girl’s joyous call to Don. Then came the buzz of several voices exchanging greetings, and, peeking uut the window, she saw Don coming up the walk with a pretty girl on either side holding his arm—in a most proprietary manner, she noticed—while a third miss skipped ahead to open the door to the broad veranda. Presently Don came in nervous and flurried, and, it must be confessed, a little shamefaced. “One of the girls was riding past here and stopped to take me back to the city with her. She’s got a couple of friends with her." Following Don to the porch, Polly greeted her guests with the utmost politeness, but somehow or oilier found her usual cordiality ami spontaneity strangely lacking. As soon as Don was seated, one of the girls lurched familiarly on the arm of his chair, throwing her arm lightly | over his shoulders, while a second girl | took her place at his back, ruffled Ids I hair, and fed him from a box of bon- i buns which she held. The third young lady immediately engaged him in a sprightly conversation, which, to Polly, bordered suspiciously on a lively flirtaton. Could it be that those girls did not know that Don was engaged to her? As for Don, she hail never seen him more animated and jovial, as, utterly oblivious to her, lie threw himself into

CRITICISM WITH A REAL PURPOSE

Moral in This Writer’s Story That 1 Will Be Apparent to Even the Casual Reader. Once upon a time there was a man and a woman who were married to each other. After a bit rhe man, who believed that the plain speech common to the great world of commercial affairs could be successfully installed in the home, treated his wife to a course in constructive criticism, with himself as the instructor. He enlightened her in many ways, “H. W. H.” writes in Life. He told her where to get off in regard to her clothes, her dancing, her house, her industry and other harrowing tales too painful to mention. The wife listened carefully for a year until all the faults had been tabulated and catalogued. At the end of that time she had a vision. Otherwise, the course might have gone on forever. After she had the vision she dried her eyes and powdered her nose and

; the task of entertaining his guests. It was In reality only about ten minutes before the party broke up, but to Polly, sitting alone in an obscure corner of the porch, ignored by the girls and snubbed by Don, each moment seemed an interminable age. As the four crowded Into the roadster, ready to leave, one of the girls—the one, sitting on Don’s lap—turned to Polly and said sweetly, too sweetly, “I hope we may see you at the house party next week. You must try to get Don to take you. You shouldn’t allow him to neglect you so, my dear,” To which Polly gathered up spirit enough to reply, “Yes, Indeed, I shall be there. Don and I have already made our plans." And had she not been so busy noting the pleased grin which overspread Don’s face, she might have observed a certain twinkle In the eye of the three girls. • ••••** When Don alighted from the train the following Sunday afternoon Polly greeted him in a brand new dress —yes, the one she couldn’t afford, but to Don her happy face and shining eyes quite eclipsed the splendor of the new frock. Seizing his arm In a most proprietary manner, she led the way to the coupe waiting at the curb. She was bubbling with excitement and cmild hardly wait until they reached home and were behind closed doors before she revealed her secret. “Don, I’ve got the most wonderful news for you. I've been arranging a party to announce our engagement and then we can be married right away—that Is, of course," blushing divinely, “if you still want me.” “But Grandfather White?” he questioned, meanly. “He's delighted. He says he has been stagnating; what he needs is a little youth and excitement. Why, Don,” noting his sober countenance and sheepish expression, “don’t you want me, after all?" “No, not this way,” he groaned. “I thought I did—l thought it didn’t make any difference how I got you so long as I won you. But Polly, I can’t take you this way, after all. Don’t you see, dear, it was all a trick to make you jealous—those girls the other night. They’re married women, all of them. I called them up on the telephone while you were with your grandfather and persuaded them to hide their wedding rings and deliberately vamp me in front of you. just to make you jealous and scare you into marrying me." “And don't you suppose I knew it?" brightly. “Oh. not at first. I'll admit," as he looked at her incredulously. “You fooled me that night, all right, but it has been dawning <>n me by degrees ever since—and that is why I'm ready to be married now " she finished brightly. Her feminine logic proved too deep, for the puzzled lines deepened on bls brow. “Oh, don’t you see, silly? A man who really loves a girl and wants to marry her can't be patient and longsuffering for six years. It’s n<4 natural. He’s got to do something silly, , or desperate, or foolish, to prove It." And, smoothing the hair from his brow, she kissed Ids lips into their customary grin. Horse and Cow. The native country of the horse seems to have heen central Asia. It became early domesticated in Egypt. It Is mentioned throughout the Bible. The people of Thessaly were excellent equestrians, and probably first among the Greeks who broke horses in for service In war. whence probably arose the fable that Thessaly was originally inhabited by Centaurs. “Solo- ' mon had 40,000 stalls of horses for his ; chariots, and 12,000 horsemen," 1014 B. C. (I Kings 4 :26.) The Greeks and Romans had some covering to secure their horse’s hoofs from Injury. In the Ninth century horses were only shod In time of frost. Shoeing was introduced Into England by William I in 1066. The cow, like all other mein- j hers of the bovine family, lias been known from remote antiquity, and in the East possessed, and in India still possesses, a sacred character. The domestic cow consists of a great number of different breeds. Wife Must Shield Husband. Under the English law the wife of a criminal is legally justified in doing all she can, short of committing another crime, to shield her husband from justice: although any other per- ; son doing so would lie liable to be charged as an accessory after the fact. But a husband is ft rbidden to shield his wife who is a criminal. His duty is to hand her over to the officers | of justice. ■ — — • Had to Do Something. “Ma, can I go over and play with Billy Kelly?" “No. You know we have nothing to do with the Kellys." “Then let me go over and knock the stuffin' out of him." —Philadelphia Ledger. Thought for the Day. If some people can’t run an organization, they will not be run by it.

1 without giving any hint to her hus- | band she set about secretly to remove | all cause for criticism. She worked hard and faithfully. Finally, every reason for complaint was eliminated. i Then she sprang the hard-won perfection upon her husband item by item. As the vision had foretold, he took it like a charge of buckshot at dose range. He stopped, staggered and fell backwards, and having had a high pressure anyway passed right out of the picture. And then the extremely attractive young widow, a thousand per cent wiser in the ways of wedlock, had nothing more to do but pick out her next spolise and live happily ever after. Cave Man. “He is a great ladies’ man. isn’t he?” “Yes, he makes love to eight girls a week, approximately.” ‘‘What do you mean, approximately?’ “Oh, roughly.”

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ' Lesson ’ (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D„ Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1923, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR JUNE 10 NEHEMIAH, THE BOLD BUILDER LESSON TEXT—Nehemiah 4:6-15. GOLDEN TEXT—Be ye not afraid of them, remember tile Lord. —Nehemiah 4:14. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Man Who Was Not Afraid. . UNIOR TOPIC—How Nehemiah Built the Wall. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPKJ —How Nehemiah Got Things Done. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC i-ehemiah, an Example for Men of Affairs. Nehemiah was a cupbearer to the Persian king. While performing hi? duty as cupbearer, lie learned of the distress of his brethren in Jerusalem. 1 lie walls of the city were broken down and its gates burned and the j remnant of the captives were in great affliction and reproach. This news greatly moved Nehemiah. He sat down and wept and mourned for several days, fasting and praying before God. Having secured i leave of absence from the Persian court and credentials from the king, he journeyed to Jerusalem. After resting three days without I disclosing his purpose to anyone, he I made a survey of the walls by night. I Having thus obtained first-hand information, he called the representatives I of the Jews together and said, "Let us i build the walls of Jerusalem.” I. Preparation for the Building ■ (Chap. 3). T he division of labor in this project I shows Nehemiah's administrative ability. A wise distribution of li bor makes difficult tasks easy. Note some outstanding features of tills great work: 1. Stress Laid Upon Indifference , (3:5). In administrative tasks it is Just that unfaithfulness should be , pointed out. Such action will be a warning to some ami encouragement to others, in that it shows th- Integrity of the director. 2. Help Rendered by Women (3:12). Perhaps Shallum had no sons to aid him. It was a fine tiling for the women to help, even n building a wall, when there were no men to <1 » it. 3. Stress Laid Upon Earnestness (3:20). If one knows that hi- faithfulness will he recognized, he will earnestly pursue his tasks. 4. Every One Built Over Against His Own House (3:10, 23. 28). No incentive 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 administration sometimes calls for such alignment of efforts. Men ’f the same . class and craft will surely work better । together. 11. Hindrances Encountered (4:16:14). 1. Scoffing <>f SanbL.lat anti Tobiah (4:1-6; cf. 2:19, 20). The opposers of God's servants usually begin by hurling at them shafts of ridicule. They : called the Jews a feeble folk and asserted that the tread <f 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 'nto a panic. When the cm my cannot succeed by scoffing they resort to intimidation. 3. Conspiracy With the Jews (4:1023). 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 I they were subject to a sudden and sei cret attack. 4. Greed and Oppression of the Rulers (5:1-13). The Jews of that day, like the profiteers of cur time, took advantage of the poor and oppressed them so that they mortgaged their land and sold their daughters into slavery. Nehemiah boldly rebuked them for their crimes a^d ordered a restoration to be made, exacting an oath of them that they would fulfill their promises. 5. Plot to Take Nehemiah’s I.ife (6:1-14). When Sanballat and Tobiah failed in every way they sought by craft to get Nehemian away that they might kill him. 111. The Wall Completed (6:15-7:4). So energetically did they pursue their tasks that in fifty-two days the wall was completed. When the enemies heard that in spite of all their schemes the work was actually finished they were dejected, for they perceived that flie 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 fear. 2. That when attacked by enemies we should pray (4:9). Their faith was accompanied by wise precautioning: (1) Set a watch (4:9). (2) Men were permitted to be with their families (4:13) anti thus would fight better. (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). Prayer and faitli are not slothful or inactive. IV. Nehemiah’s Reforms. After the dedication of the walls, they read in the Book of Moses of God's laws concerning marriage and it was found that many of the Jews had married heathen wives. Nehemiah demanded a correction of this evil. Then, too. it was discovered that the house of the Lord was made a place for buying and selling. Tobiah, who had been allowed to come into the temple courts for his business, was cast forth with all his household stuff. Then there was the violation of the Sabbath in that business was transacted on that holy day. Nehemiah courageously met the situation and corrected these abuses. Goodness in Evil. There is some soul of goodness In things evil, would men observingly distil it out.—Shakespeare.

WOMEN NEED^WAMP-ROOT 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 th* result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidney* are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organa to become diseased. Pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness, are often times symptoms of kidney trouble. Don’t delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer’s Swanjp-Root, a physician’s prescription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions. Get a medium or large size bottle immediately from any drug store. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.—Advertisement. Sam’s Ghost. Sam had passed through a harrowing experience. He had seen a ghost.

Qhe KITCHEN CABINET (©. 1523. Western Newspaper Union.) So long- as you think that some one else will do what you neglect—so long as you rail at misrule, yet fail to defend your civic rights—so ’ong as you believe that your influence is not needed, and that without you there will be a majority sufficient to prevail for the many, the few shall continue to drag us into the chasm. When every soldier In the ranks fears that his loss means the fall of the cause, an army is resistless — when each mason lays his stone as though the walls cannot stand except through his skill—when every woman bleeds at the wail of grief and the moan of hunger, convinced that her hand alone can ease, and her loaf can succor, then, and only then, shall our mastery endure. You do count—your charity does count—your patriotism does count —your skill does count. No good deed can be spared.—Herbert Kaufman. HOW MUCH FOOD DO WE NEED? The things that food does for us are important—first it generates heat.

that keeps the body warm; it keeps up the body processes, such as the heart action, digestion, respiration and other involuntary functions. It rebuilds

’ and repairs the rundown tissues, stores up reserve fuel for illnesses or sud- . den demands in emergency, and gives us energy to walk, think and do all kinds of physical and mental work. I‘les made of fruit, a piece one and one-half inches; made of creams, meringues, one-inch piece, cookies, two small; cake, cottage pudding, a piece two and one-half by two and one-half; 1 ginger bread the same; all one hun- * dred calories. We find that the average adult needs three thousand to thirty-seven hundred calories a day. As a calorie must be changed to a more common measurement for daily use by the housewife, it has been found that a j baked apple equals one hundred calories, one orange the same, also half of a grapefruit, one-half cupful of apple sauce, two or three prunes with two tablespoonfuls of juice, one cupful of dry cereal, or one and threefourths or less of the cooked wheat or cornmeal, one-fourth of a cupful of scrambled egg. two small cooked eggs, four thin slices of bacon, one slice of French toast, two slices of bread, one tablespoonful of sugar, i one tablespoonful of butter. One tablespoonful of butter, onehalf cupful of milk, one tablespoonful of sugar, one-half cupful of cocoa (tea and coffee of no food value without sugar or cream), all one hundred cal- । ories. Witli the above as a basis one may portion the amount needed for the three meals and form some idea of the amount each individual needs. When soft winds stir the meadow grass. When butterflies flit over. When honey bees, all burdened, seek The fields of fragrant clover. When singing birds and crooning brooks Seem blissfully in tune.
