OOK IN YOUR

That God said to
^ Adam and not

"To eat not the ap-
ple"—for first he
was made;
But EVe, being his
wife, the pen-
alty paid.
Then, after eating.
Just like a man
would.
He slipped back
could.
When he heard the Lord call:
"Adam." he scarce answered at all.
Then suddenly said "I just took a bite,
But Eve. she ate It with all of her
might."
When ere there's trouble of any kind.
Woman takes the brunt while man slips
behind.
But he takes good care from under the
cover.
To ilnd out just when the worst is
over.
Then gleefully shouts and heralds It
loud
HOW his wife of such a protest is proua.
Forever must woman bear the brunt of
evil
Since man was made first—then woman
and devil.

The car struck him squarely In the

Rising quiekly, he rushed back at the

"The baby has got a new tooth, but
the old lady is laid up with a cold in Iter
head and Johnnie is down with the
measles," remarked a Harlem gentle-
man to a defeated candidate.
"What In thunder do I care!" was the
reply of the defeated candidate, scowl-
ing furiously.
"Well," said the gentleman slowly,
"before the election you used to take me
aside every time you met me and ask
me how my family was coming on. so I
thought you would like to know. As I
was saying Johnnie is all broken out
with the measles, and the baby"

Disappointed.
A young Irishman in want of a five
pound note wrote to his uncle as fol-
lows:
"Dear Uncle—If you could see how I
blush for shame while I am writing you
would pity me. Do you know why? Be-
cause I have to ask you for a few
I>ounds; and do not know how to ex-
press myself. It is impossible for me to
tell you. I prefer to die.
"I send you this by messenger, who
will wait for an answer. Believe me,
my dearest uncle, yourinost obedient
and affectionate nephew.
"P. S.—Overcome with shame for
what I have written, 1 have been run-
ning after the messenger in order to
take the letter from him, but I can not
catch him up. Heaven grant that some-
thing may happen to stop him, or that
my letter may get lost!"
The uncle was naturally touched, but
was equal to the emergency. He re-
plied as follows:
"My Dear Jack—Console yourself, and
Mush no longer. Providence has heard
your prayers. The messenger lost your
letter. Your affectionate uncle.
Fresh Fish
"Domingo's nose took a Grecian turn:
he scratched his head, and uttered a
few expressions in negro dialect. Then
he made a bait with codfish; but alas,
the little fishes didn't like salt cod.
"This time Domingo was at his wits'
end. Corned beef, sardines, and cod-
fish were everything that was eatable
on board. He sat silent and dejected.
" 'These little fishes would no doubt
like fresh meat.' I said to Domingo.
" T haven't any' he said, sadly.
" 'Make some fresh meat," I said. And
you may believe me or not, as you like,
hut he did. With his sharp knife from
the thick part of his heel, a little at one
side where the hard flesh joins the ten-
der, he proceeded to cut a little morsel
with which he baited his hook. Jt was
apparently exactly what the little fishes
wanted, for they precipitated them-
selves upon it voraciously. The results
were most satisfactory. And an hour
later. In serving me a delicious dish of
fried fish. Domingo said, proudly:
" -Didn't I tell you they were good to
?at?'
" 'Excellent.' I answered."—Harper's

Introductory. The misson of the
seventy disciples here recorded is
only fouiid in St. Luke's gospel. The
other evangelists do not give an ac-
count of this circuit. In Luke ix: 1-ft
and Matthew x. we have an account
of our Lord's sending: forth the twelve
through Northern Galilee. In his
solemn progress toward Jerusalem lie
preferred to retain the twelve near
his own person, sending' out other
messengers t > awaken in the minds
of men a souse of the nearness of
God's kingdom. The Speaker's Com-
mentary. A1 lord says: "It is well,
that Luke lias given us also the send-
ing of the twelve, or we should have
had some of the commentators assert-
ing that this is the same mission.
1. The Seventy Appointed, verses 1,
2. 1. "After these thinsrs." The
events recorded in chapter ix: 57-03.
"The Lord appointed." Solemnly and
formally sol apart ' Other seventy
also." Besides the twelve. "Two
and two." A wise and merciful pro-
vision: the presence of either was de-
signed to support and help the other.
"Before his face." Some days in ad-
vance of himself. "Whither he him-
self would come." To prepare the
way beforo him.
2. "The harvest truly is great.*'
Even in i.hc limited territory that, was
to be covered by their pcisonal mis-
sion the number of souls «.obe reached
was very large. "The laborers are
few." To this day the laborers are
few when compared with the work to
be done. "The Lord of the harvest.
That is, God the Father.
11. The Seventy Instructed, verses
3-0. 3. "(Jo. " This is the command
given to every true preacher of the
gospel. "As lambs among wolves.*'
That is. without any human means of
defense against the enmity of wicked
men, and without any authority to
appropriate and use such means.
1. "Scrip." Traveling bag. "Shoes."
They were not to carry a second pair
of sandals with them. - Salute no
man by the way." Eastern saluta-
tions being tedious, and overburdened
with ceremony, they were to be
avoided as involving a great loss of
time.
5. "Into whatsoever house ye en-
ter." As guests. "Peace be to this
house." "Peace be to you." was the
usual Jewish salutation. On the lips
of the disciples, it referred to the
peace which the world can neither
give nor take away.
fi. "The son of peace." That
man capable of receiving the peace of
Christ. "Shall rest upon it." As a
permanent blessing. "Shall turn to
you again." No man can profit by
spiritual gift unless he is willing to
take it and improve it.
7. "In the same house remain.
Rather, "in this house." "Such
tilings as they give." Sharin;
even the plainest fare. "The laborer
i* worthy of his hire." He is no pau-
per. "Go not from house to house."
This does not forbid the visiting of
different louses for purposes of relig
tons instruction, but only the aimless
wandering from one house to another.
K. "Eat such tilings as are set be-
fore you." Ask no questions for con-
science' sake, and do not be dainty
about your food.
9. "Ileal the sick that arc therein."
Making the best possible return for
the hospitality sh own you. "The
kingdom of God is coine nigh unto
you.'' God had drawn nigh to the m
for a blessing, if they would have a
blessing. —The Speaker's Commen-
tary.
Scott, in one of his poems, refers to
the beautiful custom of ancient Scot-
land of assembling their clans by
means of a fiery cross. A light cross
of wood was charred at its point, and
the flames quenched in the blood of
a goat. This was sent around to the
villages and homes of the clan, each
t ne sending it on to his neighbor,
with only the name of the meeting
place. And everyone was bound to
obey the sign.
So is Christ's cross, scorched with
his sufferings, stained with his blood,
the call to every disciple to go forth
and preach the gospel.

in Two Schoolboy# In Oregon Killed
a Mountain I.Ion.
*«A recent letter in theNewYorkSun,
describing the animals of tho Patago-
nian plains, narrates some interesting
iharacteristics of the puma, or
panther, which are well known to
people in regions where he abounds,"
said the man from the Rockies. • 'This
information of indisputable accuracy,
upsets some widely spread fallacies
concerning this beast. One of these,
the idea that he regards men as his
natural prey, is prevalent among
people whose notion of the forest
beasts have been formed from exag-
gerated stories of the Eastern panther,
a dread topic of ru ul tales and of
boys' reading since the first settlers
invaded the North American wilder-
ness.
"The ferocity of the pampas puma
toward all other beasts and his gentle
ness or fear in respect to man finds
its counterpart in the mountain lion of
the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast
ranges. This animal is a larger beast
than his relative of the Eastern wilder-
ness. there known as tho panther.
The mountain lion like the pampas
puma, is terribly destructive to other
wild animals and to yuong live stock,
but except in romance has never fig-
ured as an animal dangerous to man.
Owing to his shyness toward human
beings -the mountain lion is rarely
seen by man: though sometimes in
mountain fastnesses a camper may
hoar his wailing cry to his mate by
night, and perhaps detect signs of his
presence about the camp, which, if
pressed by hunger, he may visit in
the hunter's absence and make way
with any meat left carelessly within
reach. Like tho South American
puma the mountain lion is often found
upon the plains, where his presence ig,
soon made known to ranchers by his,
ravages among the colts and calves
and sheep. His flesh is white, and
many North American hunters, like
the gauelios. consider it good eating.
"The mountain lion cub makes an
attractive pet until he becomes so
large as to be formidable in strength.
That point reached, while still amiable
toward his master, he becomes unsafe
for strangers to approach, and his
fierce predatory instincts are invet-
erately displayed toward animals
which are his natural prey. Until
these instincts bacome manifest,
which usually occurs when the whelp
is about a year old, he is as playful
and as gentle as a kitten, and hip soft
violet eyes give no warning of latent
danger. The cubs are born with
faint markings of bars and spots,
which disappear soon after their eyes
get open.
'•This disinclination of the puma to
attack man is often attributed to cow-
ardice, though an animal should
hardly be termed cowardly which will
risk combat with the grizzly bear, as
the puma is known to do.
•• 4So cowardly is the mountain
lion,'1 said J. B. Treadwell. of Cali-
fornia, who has often killed them,
'that more than once when I have
shot one in a tree wounding him so
badly that he fell to the ground, in-
stead of attacking me he endeavored
to creep away.1 And an Oregon
schoolmaster tells of two boys, pupils
at his school, who gave one morning
as the cause of their tardiness that
they had stopped to kill a mountain
lion on the way to school. At sight
of them the animal had taken to
tree. and. while one boy watched him
to see that he did not escape, the
other went back home for the gun
with which they killed him.1'
