Calamity Howling.

I have little use, and no respec,a,t all,-for a calamity lidwler, nmatter where I find him. Thman who travels about telling thpeople that the country is going tthe dogs, and that it will be impossible to accomplish anything ithese Democratic times, is a:enemy of his country and ought tbe deported. Shame on any manor woman either, who thinks thathe honest, clear-headed, and banworking people of this great country are not capable of taking carof themselves, for that is just whacalamity howling means, first, lasand all the time. Let us lookthings squarely in the face for amoment.

That the trend of political powen this country is peopleward jus

at this particular time goes withou'saying. The people of this, counry have been bought and sold it;he political shambles for one mess

of pottage after another, until theyare heartily tired of it and willlave no more of it. Even menike ex-President Taft, the latest,vorst whipped, and doubtless last

machine candidate for Presidentbis country will ever see, has ateast partially wakened up to this/ery important fact, and is reccm-mending many important measuresvhich will greatly help to put thegovernment back into the bands

f the people, from whom thewlitical bosses of the past twentyears have taken it. Penrose, theiig machine boss of the great Statef Pennsylvania for jnany years,dually makes me laugh all to

myself., "He has had his best earto the ground, and is fully con-vinced that from this time thepeople; propose to have somethingto say about the management oftheir own affairs. So thoroughlyis he convinced of this, that he iseven willing to brave the wrath ofthe liquor power by declaring forlocal option. The presumption isthat he will find it a mighty bigjob to convince the people that bisconversion to their interests is gen-uine, the result of real sorrow foriis past misdeeds, .and real faithn the people. No man needs toje a prophet, or son of a prophet,to see that President Wilson's namewill be Dennis the moment he fails:o carry out the will of the peoplewho made him President. He issharp enough to see that he is inhe White House, not to push any>et theories of,his own, but to:arry out the pledges of the plat-brm upon which he was elected.

Through him, if he remains trueo his -promise, the people will

come into their own, and we will•eally have a "Government of the>eople, for the people, and by theleople," once more, instead of a;overmnent by a political machine'or a political machine, such as welave had for twenty years past.

Of course, the re-alignment of bun-ness and political conditions may>inch some toes; but every man

has real love for his^countryought to suspend his howling and;o to work to make this honestly a

government.J. A. VANKl.KKT.

"Did it ever occur to you thatbout thirty thousand of theseinfortunates are unnecessarilylind? ."Do you know that about twelve

'Are you aware that twelveiiousand people are groping theirvay about in darkness, due tonjuries which in most instancesould have been avoided by tbenstallation in.' factories of properafety devices ?" j' Twenty-five hundred of them areeprived from a livelihood becausef granulated lids, which is preven-able by the application of properemedies. Two thousand are de-rived of their sight because ofrourth of July accidents. Fifteenundred will never again see theght of day because of variousauses, such as the drinking orbsorbing of wood alcohol and theeglect of proper-treatment of cer-ain eye affections.

There will always be a certainumber of casesof blindness, whichanuot be avoided ;, but it is appall-ng to think that the sight of thirtylousand of those now blind couldave been preserved.

As he opened it a glare of ruddylight met him and a whiff or hot,smoky air. Inside, the place rangwith the clink of hammers, A score ormore of prisoners were busy aboutthe forges, and sparks flew In show-ers as the sledges fell on red-hometal.

Opposite the door was a raise'platform on 'which stood a warder,the only representative of authorityin the place, with/ the exception o;the instructor, who was busy rtmongthe men. '

Wyatt went straight up to thwarder.

"Mr. Caunter, the wind's blowndown the kitchen chimney in Dr. In-glis' house, and the hot-water pipes

.are chocked. The governor says thaiit must be seen to at once. Can yousend two plumbers on?"

"I'm short of plumbers," answeredCaunter. "Ward's laid up with a ColdThere's only Farrant."

"You've forgotten Kenyon," put ilnGates, the warder-instructor, steppingup.

"Oh, that chap as has just i comefrom Portland. Ay, he'll be all right.You can take him along."

Wyatt made a.little sign with hisright hand. It was one of severalwhich warders use, and was Intended to ask whether Kenyon could betrusted.

Caunter nodded."You needn't worry about him" he

said in a whisper. "There's no chapless likely to i do a bunk. He's onlygot another year to serve, and-theydo say he's coming in for a fortune

Farrant was square and bullet-head-ed, a very ordinary itype of lag. Ken-,yon was different. He was tall, finelybuilt, and almost good-looking. If hischin had been a trifle firmer,' and hiseyes a little wider apart he wouldhave b^en a really handsome man.

Both had their coats and caps on,and each carried his tools in a bagover his shoulder. '

The slightest change in the deadlymonotony of prison routine .is wel-comed by any convict, and though the

"iibr'-easter"bit "cruelly 'as they march-ed away towards the gate, neitherof the prisoners complained. Dr. In-glis was the Junior of the two prisondoctors, and his house was not in theprison, but a couple of hundred yardsdown the road to the left,

Wyatt took his men round to theback door. The path outside was lit-tered with broken bricks and slates,and • a gang of masons was alreadyat work repairing the damage. Thewarder In charge of them saluted Wyatt.

soldering Iron."What else do you know?" he ask-

ed, in a would-be careless tone."1 knows as Inglis was expecting

money from some rich old chap aswas related to him. And the old chapdied and left It all to someone else.'

"Now, then, not so much talking,Farrant. Get on with your job. Wedon't want to be here all' day."

Farrant only grinned. He knew therebuke was not serious.

"I'm afraid we'll be here all night,sir, if this here storm gets muchworse," he answered.

The w'arder glanced out of the -win-dow. The snow was thicker thanever. It whirled past like a duststorm. And the wind ' howled withsuch fury as is never known in thelow country.

"I pity those i poor chaps outside,"whispered Farrant to Kenyon.

As he spoke the. back door opened,and the warder in charge of the1 but-side gang looked in. He was coveredwith snow from head to foot whichhad frozen' on him like a white mask.

"Mr. Wyatt," he said hoarsely, "wecan't go on outside.. Tell the doctort isn't safe. We'll come back as soonas it blows over a bit, but we can'tdo anything more now."

"I'll tell him," answered Wyatt. Theother went out, and the wind slam-med the door i with an echoing crash.

Almost instantly the crash was fol-owed by a louder sound which .came

from directly overhead. The warderand rtne two convicts stared upwards.

"Look out!" shouted Wyatt. "The•oof's coming down."

During the threeyears of His public ministry Hisheado,uarters were here. Here hehealed a man sick of the palsy; hereHe cast out an unclean spirit; hereHe healed Peter's wife's motherwhen she lay sfck' of a fever; hereHe did many signs and wonders.

Tonkins; into the history of the de-velopment of God's kingdom, we arecompelled to note that God offers Hismercy to some more freely than toothers.

A report which cameto him of the desolate condition oBJerusalem wakened in his heart anardor of 'patriotism which would notlet him rest content without d6"ingall that he could possibly do toremedy the evils that his peoplewere suffering. He gladly surrend-ered' one of the hibhest positions atthe court Of the powerful monarchwhose kingdom included the greaterpart of the civilized world and en-tered upon a life of struggle and tolland danger and perplexity for thesake of others.•u One of the greatest difllcultleswith which this kingly man had tocontend was the selfishness and iherebelliousness of the people whomhe was striving to benefit'. And yet,'we do not find him losing interest inhis work or getting discouraged. Wedo not even find him exercising Inany despotic way the autocraticpower which the king had conferredupon him against those who distress-ed h(m so greatly by -their -un worthi-ness.

THE LAWFUL USE OF THE SAB-BATH. '

Luke 13: 10-17—14: 1-G.

GOLDEN TEXT—The Sabbath wasmade for man, and not man for theSabbath.—Mark 2: 27.

It is a noticeable fact that whileJesus recognized the obligation tokeep .the Sabbath, there is no recordof His having ever given His disci-ples any command to keep it and allHis teaching on the subject wasagainst the merely mechanical, thestrait laced, notions of the Phariseeswhich had robbed the Sabbath insti-tution of its real meaning by reduc-ing its observance to a" mere matterof form.

Neither is there any record of anytommand having been given by theapostles to the churches to keep theSabbath. Onr-the-contrary "when thequestion of obedience to the laws ofMoses1 was referred to the apostles^or an authoritative decision theysaid; nothing about Sabbath keeping.(See Acts 15),

It is important to recognize these'..cts, and to ask ourselves what theirignificance is. To those who thinkif religion as a mere matter of obedi-

ence to fixed statutes such facts canHave only one meaning, namely, that.s Christians we are not under anyibligatlon to keep the Sabbath. Butuch persons have misconceived ut-;erly the true character of the re-igion of Christ. It is not a religionf statutes and ordinances at all, butreligion of loving service. The .right

irlnciples of action are clearly pre-ented and carefully Illustrated in the

"•Tew Testament, but tljere is no at-mpt to lay down hard and fast

ules of conduct.The "perfect law" Is, as James

ells us, a "law of liberty." It is the;ill of God that each of us shouldtudy out for ourselves what God re-[uires of us in the circumstances inhich we are placed, and that our

ervice should be voluntary, insteadT being servileT But to claim a righto live for ourselves and do ' as welease Is a frank denial of God'silaims upon us, ' ""•'•

As a basis for the decision of alluestions of conduct Jesus gave onemdamental law, "Seek ye first Hisingdom, and His righteousness." Inther words, we are to strive to be

'ike Christ, whose one motto was,"L.0,.1 am come to do Thy will, OGod." If we earnestly desire to fol-low that) fundamental rule we shallnot.bfi always asking, May I do this?or, Must I do this? But," what can Itlo to work out the will of God? Howcan I fit myself for the most efllcientservice? . '

Now to the question of Sabbath ob-servance. Wo have found that noSabbath law is laid down in the NewTestament, but the New Testamentdoes not stand alone; It 19 based uponho Old Testament, and In the Old

Testament we find that God places avery high value on the Sabbath. AndJesus -explained why God values theSabbath so much. He said, "The Sab-•lath was made for man." It wasmade because rnnn needs a Sabbath.He neods It for bis physical and men-ial well-being, but he needs it muchmoro for the spiritual benefit whichhe can derive from It. ExperienceI I U K proved that a high standard ofinoriils cannot, tie maintained in anycommunity which does not keep theSabbath and In multitudes of Indi-vidual CUBOH moral degeneracy has

iin with desecration of the Sab-bath.

The old Sabbath law forbade anysort of work—ovon tho kindling of alire, (Kx. :ir>: :i). That law In Ita lit-mil form would not bn good for manmder till conditions, nnd WUB not In-ended to apply to all conditions In

which men might be placed; but thn[irlnclple Involved, tho thought thatinderlleit (hi t Sabbath law IH aa ap-plicable, to IIH UH to tho iHruelltos of.Id.

Indeed, wo liuvn a vory muchi;rcutnr Incentive than they had toK e e p ihe Habbath, bucuiiao wo knowo much more of tho Kreatiu>nn andnndernnim of (Jod'H love for us and ofl l» d imln t Ihut wo Bhonld becomeinrnonal ly acquainted wltli lllm. Anil

Attention has been caflled, by members of the Board of Trade, totwo objectionable' bills (oue termed vicious) upvV before our StateLegislature. One which we deem not advisable, is 'to redute thenumber of Chosen Freeholders in Atlantic County to five, irrespectiveof districts. The other, which is without excuse, will'prevent any parentfrom allowing his child to do any manual labor, nt home or elsewhere,until he or she is sixteen years old.

We left Kansas City the night ofJune 29th. Among other stuff, wecarried a lot of fireworks for thetown of Amarillo, where they wereto have an especially glorious Fourth.There was also a large amount ofcurrency In the safe, consigned to thebank at the, same town.

My assistant was a chubby youngfellow, whom we called "the Infant."He had had a busy day, so I told himto turn In about nine o'clock. Heunrolled a comforter, and was soonasleep on the floor of the car.

Our car was one of the first all-steel coaches put'in the express busi-ness. It had poor ventllatloji, and thenight was hot. I'd have opened adoor a bit, but that is against com-pany rules. : Suddenly I heard a cou-ple of track torpedoes .explode, andthe train came to a jarring stop.Then I heard a yolley of shots, and Iknew that it was the road agents atlast. Soon the engine was startedagain, the rest of- the train had beenuncoupled; our car was the only oneattached to the engine.

The maple sugar season having ar-rived,- many will be'glad to learnabout confections of which this delic-ious sweet is a part. For maple su-gar cake, take one clip .granulated,sugar, yolks of two eggs, one round-ing teaspoonful of butter; cream to-gether. Add one-half teaspoonful ofsoda dissolved In three-quarters of acup of water. Stir well, then addone and one-half cups of flour andone teaspoonful of cream of tartar.Beat well and bake In three layers.Maple sugar frosting: One and one-half cups of maple syrup; boll insaucepan until It spins'a thread. Takefrom fire and slowly add the beaten.white of one egg. Stir until thick:and cold. Put between the layersand on top.

Rousing the Infant, I told him thesituation. In spite of the warm night,I shivered when I thought of the cashin that safe. I did not have the com-bination, but the Infant and I couldnot prevent their blowing the safe.We'had firearms, but should we usethem? That would mean almost cer-tain death for both of us.

Suddenly the warning, "Explosive—With Care," on a box of fireworkscaught my eye. I pointed to It, andthe Infant looked at me inquiringly.'If we could set off that stuff, theserobbers wouldn't know what hadstuck them," I said. We both jumpedover, and began to tear 'the coversoff the" boxes. We piled excelsior on

put all the fireworks we could getat on top of the excelsior, and left aPew unopened boxes In the center ofrhe car.

Besides the two side doors, therewas a small door In the end, next tothe tender, and that we unfastenedexcept for one bolt. Last of all, I:>lew out the lamp, and in the dark Ipoured the kerosene over the excel-sior. Then we waited, but not for!ong. ....

Ingredients.—Half a pound of su-gar, the juice of -an orange, half the.white of one small egg, and six dropsof orange essence. •

Relation of Teachers to Parents.

.•:.;• BY MlSB FRANCES BISCHOFP

(Given at the Alomnl Entcrtmfbment onMondur evening. M»rcfa tttf.1914.1

I feel a good deal like the coun-try minister who was overtaken bya heavy shower on the'way tochurch. On arriving;" he shookJhe water from 'his hat and coatand remarked, "Really, friends, Iam most tbowel lo preach." "Oh,uever mind," replied one of hiscongregation, "you will be dryenough in the pulpit."

As has. beeii announced, I havebeen asked to speak on the rela-tionship of the parents to schools,from the viewpoinl of Ihe teacher. „

You send your boys aud girls lous that we may direct the develop-ment of ' their mental, moral and-physicalTjuaiities:—VWinusttrartrthem nol only to earn a livelihood,but to enjoy the besl iii life, andfinally towomen of

make them men andsuch sterling character

that they will be of value to thecommunity. Your purpose andours is Ihe same,— we are strivingfor Ihe same goal; we hav£mutualresponsibilities aud inleresls"; andyet, as teachers, we feel we are uolworking with Ihe pareuls as weshould ; that because of lack ofknowledge and sympathy mis-understandings have prevented a jhelpful andintelligeutco-operation,'and the persons'Who have suffered

how fallacious their judgments are.One boy I knew of, said, a- Miss -S.was the best teacher he had.,... Cometo find out, he based his: judgment

Finally, the teacherhad a conference with both parentsand Ihp boy. Many misunder-standings, were cleared up, Ihe boycame lo realize thai the leacher wasnol "down on him,' ' but ready tohelp him, and lo-day:he is gettingalong splendidly. .

In the home you can do muchto. .help your'children. A certain]teacher was given a class which jhad been noted for years for its ifailures. She investigated causes,and tabulated them . as follows :i, Insufficient'sleep ; too late hoursallowed by parents. Growing chil-

Outside diversions encroach on Ihesludy hours. In many homes ihereis no set time for study, wheneverything is quiet, or no undis-turbed place where the .student

visit all ttie parents and thus securepersonal co-operation ; and unfor-tunately, you only occasionallyvisit us, when you have some com-plaint to make. If you only real-ized how anxious we were to knowall about our pupils, so that wecould help 'them in every waypossible. We would welcome theopportunity to tftlyouihat Kdwardwas most gentlemanly in behavior,and does excellent work ; had youthought of sending him to college ?Talk it over with hin teachers.They may suggest a way to sur-mount the financial difficulties.Or perhaps you haven't realizedthat Mary has exceptional urlislictalent, and tha t such a school isexcellent.

Of course the report cards giveyou Mime idea of t l ie work clone,but it is inadequate in the f i rs lplace, and «>me parents do not mivcthe cards sufficient considerationWe often hear of casi-H where"mother has been signing the card,and f a t h e r hasn ' t seen i l at all ."One leacher asked tha t the report>e brought the nex t day, anil the

pupil replied "I'11 get mother todo il th in noon, and she wou ldn ' thave much time to look at il then."Thus some parents remain ignorantof the true facts. Inc idenl ly , 1would l ike lo say here that we needthe assistance of both part-ills.The ntory in told tha t Home oneini j i i i red if Mrs. K. wim good lo herchi ldren . The reply wan. "Very,lie lets l l ieni do everything thei r

f a t h e r doesn't vv i in l them lo do."The fa the r , mother, and teacher

If your child is f a l l i n g behind inhis work in school or causing anytrouble, you should immediate lyconsult the leacher. May I askllmlyoumiHpeiid judgment ni i l i l yonhave seen the teacher and know allthe fac ts of the case. Remembertha t a child reportti an incidentfrom lim own point of view, undwhile he him no intention of winrepresenting fuels, slill he does HO.He citu ' l iinflcrtttiiiHl why heshould be punished, for not know-ing hiti lesson while Johnny Joneswi i sn ' l . I t may have happenedthat Johnny JOIICH' mother was i l l ,und the leuehei realized hecoil ldn' lnet !iin lesson. When you upholdu child against the teacher, younot only make it harder for her,but you injure the child. Anyonewho IIUH dealt with children known

upper" grades, there is too muchgoing on socially, and the pupildoes his work in a superficial way.4, Absence fromparents are very

lessons. Manylax about this.

They permit children to be excusedfor all sorts of trifles, and so theylose valuable explanations.

Parents and teachers should holdhigh standards before the children.Don't urge them to work for marks,but to dp the best Ihey a're capableof, and be satisfied with nothingless.

I have spoken of the importanceof personal co-operation betweenteachers and parents. The questionis, how can this be brought about?As it is not possible for us to visityou, we extend a hearty invitationlo' you to visil us. ' If possible,come and see ihe work ; see how itis done. Can't you spare the limefor the sake of your ch i ld ren? Ifyou can come afler school, do so ;or better yet, Jiold regular parents'meetings. All over the country,teachers and parents arc comingtogether regularly to consider schoolaf fa i r s ami become informed oneducational matters. Of course,methods of teaching have changed,but w o u l d n ' t you like to know whywe don' t teach John to read bylearning his A, H, C's, but bywords t Wouldn ' t you like loknow about the Montessori method,or the value of a High School edu-cation ( For the sake of the chi ld-ren, you should interest yourself insuch niallern.
