Should Sentiment Always Hav«
Precedence?
“Taking stock” of oneself is a peri-
odical duly, probably not always prac-
ticed, and is as necessary as taking
stock of your household effects or your
“store goods.” The right minded man
will do this. In unmolested moments
he gives way to deep meditation; he
gathers his thoughts to ascertain if
brains, energy, and ability are synco-
pating properly, working together on
lines that answer to an ambition that
looks for a satisfactory return.
If there.be n deficit, his endeavor
should be to discover the leakage. It
may be that he lacks the nerve to go
into a retrospective analysis, or falls
in initiative that will prompt him to
throw his horoscope in the future. Un-
less he can do these tilings he will
never be able to pull himself out of
any “rut” in which his condition has
placed him. He must “take stock.
“Stock taking” lends to modern-day
efficiency, and is demanded of every
worker if unsatisfactory conditions are
to be overcome. In the case of the
farmer it may be that lie is working
a “too high-priced farm”; Interest and
rent may* be an “overhead” eating up
the profits. There may be other rea-
sons why profits are not shown. It is
just possible that he is sacrificing
profit and encouraging loss because
of sentiment, but he does not realize
that this Is the cause. The farm was
his birthplace; reared upon it, he
knows every nook and corner of the
old place. He fished in the brook,
hunted squirrels in the woods, hid in
the liny field, grew to manhood upon the
place, courted and mnrrled and brought
up his family there. These are ties
that commend themselves, and why
shouldn't sentiment have a say? To
many this will appeal. Hut are these
good reason to continue? Does not
one owe it to himself and to his de-
pendents to “take stock,” and pflt In-
to effect notion that will bring a bal-
ance on the credit side of the ledger—
the balance that will bring hnppiness
and give a comfort far greater than a
mass of unpaid bills and a house full
of worry, and n devotion to sentiment?
Should he not look around for more
favorable conditions, which may easily
be found?
Procrastination is said to be a thief
In this case the axiom is undoubtedly
true. To allow the adverse conditions
under which you may be laboring to
continue may keep you for years longer
In the present unsatisfactory position.
There was a man at Brazil, Ind..
who made weekly visits for upward
of a year to the office of the Canadian
government at Indianapolis, Ind., and
from the agent secured all the informa-
tion he possibly could as to conditions
In Western Canada. Hut he lacked de-
cision, did not “take stock," or If he
took it, failed to act. This was four-
teen years ago. He lived on a small
farm, which gave him a mere existence,
and no promise of anything more. He
Is still on the snme place and no better ■
off today than then. He had a friend
working In n glass factory, who also
had but little means. He became In-
terested in Western Canada. He pos-
sessed, though, spirit and action. With
the impulse thus prompted he moved i
to Saskatchewan and took up a farm, j
Today he Is the owner of a splendid i
section of land, has plenty of money |
in the luftik, and could retire with a
handsome competence.
That which has been the good for-
tune of the Brazil glass worker, who
had “taken stock” and profited by it,
may be that which will follow any
other of like temperament and a firm
wish to erect for a satisfactory future.
Western Canada submits for consid-
eration and approval conditions in ag-
ricultural lines that are exceptional.
There is land there that annually pro-
duces about the same return as any
other farming laud, and it enn he pur-
chased at hut a portion of what the
place which has not been n source of
profit cun be sold for. A section in-
stead of a quarter-section, worked un-
der western conditions, with no more
effort, solves the big “overhead” ex-
pense. The social conditions, which
ure an important factor in deciding
on u new home location, are ideal.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.
Judging from reports from druggist,
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there ia one preparation that
kas been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is
soon realized. It Btands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of tne
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as-
tonishing statement that one reason why
an manv applicants for insurance are re-
jected i« because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the I
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect 1
that they have the disease. It is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. .,
However, if you wish first to teat this
great preparation send ten cents^ to Dr.
Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be lure and

typical of the
restoration of the
sinning saint to
the fellowship
that his sin ha*
broken.
nere the Lord
foretells the sin
of Peter and says,
“But I have
prayed for thee.”
“I have prayed
for thee." What
then? Ah, yesl
if the Advocate
has prayed, Peter
shall be convert-
e d. Conversion
joes not always mean the first turn-
Ing of a soul to God. It may bp the
turning of a saint from a sin into
which lie has fallen. "Restore” is,
therefore,,what the word mentis here,
as the revised version makes clear!
“When once thou hast turned again."
How the Lord has been criticised
here: "Why did he not keep Peter out
of sin? Why not pray that he should
not fall into it?" No, he permitted
him to fall into Satan’s hands in order
to “convert" him from his self-right-
eousness and self-sufficiency. Peter
protested: “Lord, I am ready to go
with thee, both into prison and to
death!" “Though all shall be offended
because of thee, yet will 1 never he
offended!" And to each outburst the
Lord replied: "Peter, a cock shall not
crow this day, before that thou slialt
thrice deny that thou knowest me!"
And we have but to turn the page
to read the fulfillment of this predic-
tion. Verses 54 to 62 tell it all. The
morn! distance of Peter’s soul from
Christ expressed in his self-satisfac-
tion was now expressed in the phys-
ical distance at which he followed the
Lord to the high priest’s house. And
It was quite easy then to "sit down
among" his enemies; and apparently
easy also to say: "I know him not."
"Man, I know not what thou sayest."
"And immediately, while he yet
spoke, a cock crew.” "And the Lord
turned and looked at Peter."
Oh, that silent look of the Savior!
No word was spoken. None was nec-
essary.
He has looked at you anil me in that
way_a look of grief mingled with
compassion. It searched out Peter’s
heart to its depths. Ah, we know
what that look conveyed. "And Peter
remembered the word."
The Advocate's work does not end
with the putting away of the stain of
our sin; it searches oar hearts and
brings us to self-judgment and the con-
fession of sin. How often does a word
j of Scripture spring suddenly to mem-
I ory to rebuke us and to recall us from
J some careless way ! So here, “Peter
! remembered the Word of the Lord
, . . and went out and wept bit-
I terly.”
But wo cannot leave him there, out
In the night weeping oat his heart.
The Advocate’s work is not yet done,
! and he does not leave him there. In
! the last chapter of Mark we find this:
“But go your way, tell his disciples
' AND PETER.” The Lord is risen from
I the dead and seems to regard the
■ breach between himself and Peter as
j though It had not been. He knows
that that he would never appear at the
! meeting in Galilee without it.
When we turn to the last chapter
' of Luke’s gospel and find Peter in his
! place among the eleven, with no ques-
tlon as to his right to he there, we are j
j not surprised, and that because of j
what has gone before. “The Lord is ,
risen indeed, and hath appeared to ,
Simon.” A private meeting with Si- j
mon! Secretly, the Lord seeks him i
out and has the whole thing out with j
him. We are not told what was said, j
It was unnecessary to tell us, for we |
know! “lie shall not fall nor he dis-
couraged.” Blessed Lord! As my :
Advocate, he shall not fnil until he has ,
brought mo, alone with himself, in self- ,
judgment and confession.
There is one more scene that must j
J not he overlooked. It is In the last
chapter of John’s gospel. When Peter
| heard that It was the Lord who had
greeted them from the shore, “He girt
his fisher’s coat unto him and did cast
himself into the sea." Impatient to
be with the Lord, that boat is too slow
for him! And when he came to shore
the Lord said, and he said it to Simon
Peter, “Come and dine!” And Peter
feasts with the risen Christ, who has
spread the banquet with his own
blessed hands! Fellowship once more!
The restoration is complete! And now,
“Feed my sheep.” “Whefi thou art
restored," he had said, “strengthen
thy brethren.” Now restored to the
fellowship he had forfeited, his
strength changed to weakness, the Lord
commits his sheep to his hands.

training is a sideline with Mr. Klenke,

are easily trained, according to Mr.
Klenke. He takes a good-sized, frisky
flea from one of his animals and puts
it in a small glass bowl which is cov-
ered at the top. It is naturally anx-
ious to escape from the bowl, and In
attempting to do so is humped quit©
frequently. After a time It stops
jumping. Mr. Klenke then takes It
from the bowl and harnesses It to a
small cardboard chariot which It hauls
about, urged on by a straw in Klenke’s

She wns sure he had written to her i ___
more often than to nny of the other j
girls; an opinion which Frances did j
not share.
I Extracts from Louise’s letters found
their way Into the local papers, and
were rend nt the afternoon clubs. Fran-
ces felt that hers were too sacred to
! show to anyone excepting her mother.
It seemed to her quite too good to bo
true, that Conrad was on bis way home
nt last; and It wns with difficulty that
she calmed herself sufficiently to pay
attention to the wants of the people
who found their way Into the store
that afternoon.
It wns not until sue was on her way
home, tlint the remembrance of Lou-
ise’s Irritating laugh came to trouble
her.
“I don’t believe I will light our lamp
nt all," she said to her mother. "It
\ylll only emphasize our poverty, and
seem such a stingy welcome to Conrad
j when nil the other houses on the street
are brilliantly lighted.”
I "Don’t be foolish," Mrs. Keith ad-
vised, “If Conrnd Is the boy I think he
Is. he will realize that old-fnshloned
tilings are sometimes the most depend-
able. Set the light In the front wln-
dow, nnd run up ihe shade, so ns to
! give the house n cheerful look, then (
j busy yourself about something tlint will j
I take up your mind. It is more thnn |
1 likely that Conrad will not come to- \
night, but walk In upon us sometime In i
broad daylight, when we least expect I
him.”
With a sigh of impatience. Frances j
arose to follow out her mother’s Bug- j
gestion. Going into the kitchen she
took from the shelf n Inrge lamp, care-
fully trimmed the wick nnd polished j
the chimney until It shone. As she lit j
It, she fervently wished that she had a I
fairy wand, hy a wave of which she I
could change the feeble glow of the j
kerosene lamp Into a bright light that j
would send a welcoming ray far down j
the street.
"Conrnd never will notice it,” she |
reflected dismally ns she placed the j
lamp in one of the front windows.
Having done this, she returned to the
living room, where she settled herself j
to work upon the sweater that was to j
make her little sister happy on Christ- j
mas morning.
j So busy was she flint the minutes -
slipped by unnoticed, and It was with j
surprise tlint she heard the clock strike
eleven.
“Oh ! do you suppose that Conrnd has j
come?” she cried, springing up and j
running to the door to see If the other i
house** were lit up. As she looked out, j
she wns astonished to find that the |
stn*ct wns in darkness, not a light to ;
i be seen.
“Why, mother!” she called out. “It ,
Is perfectly black out-of-doors. Even i
the street lights nre out.”
As she spoke she caught the sound of
a footstep and the next moment a fa-
miliar voice said;
“Is that you, Frances?”
It was Conrad. "Of all dark places
this town Is the blackest!" he cried,
as he made his way up the steps and
Into the hall.
“There must he some trouble nt the
power station," Frances said, trying to
steady her voice. “Mother told me
that old-fashioned things were some-
times the most dependable. How glad
I am that I lit our lamp after nil.”
“I am not sure, hut I should have
lost my way, If you hadn’t.” Conrnd
said. "I missed the last train from
Rosehllls nnd bad to foot It. When I
reached Flrsex I found It In darkness;
i not a light in town excepting yours. It
wns my beacon star, Just as you have
, been, dear heart.”
••Tint Louise thinks It Is she for
whom you rare,” Frances returned In a
i troubled voice.
i “Louise Is well enough in her way."
; Conrad made answer, "but she Is apt
to be uncertain as her light was, and
for n welcome home n fellow wants a
light nnd a love that never Pills."
