Psalms 2; Isaiah 11:1-10
■ BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden text: “Ask of me, and I
shall give thee the heaven for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost part
of the earth for thy possession.”
Psalms 2:8.
The passage from Isaiah is only a
♦ very small part of the prophecy
which is delivered. It is concluded
in Ch. 10:5-12:6. Assyria was a great
world power: her eyes were set on
the world dominion. Her armies
were headed toward Egypt and
would crush the little kingdom of
. Judah on the way. Isaiah delivered
this message to comfort his people
in the view of the Assyrian invasion.
iefly he said: Assy.«i is the rod
in the hands of God. With Assyria
God will punish us for our sins, par
ticularly the sin of disobedience to
Mim; but when that purpose has been
•accomplished, God will utterly de-
♦ -stroy the rod, and in its place will
set up the kingdom long promised
to David which shall be universal
and indestructible; and our hearts
shall be filled with singing. There
fore, in spite of the dark, present
•'outlook, “Cry aloud and shout, thou
inhabitant of Zion; for great in the
•midst of thee is the Holy One of
Israel.”
Isaiah uses a very interesting fig
ure here. The loftly cedar of Leban
on is cut down; and when a cedar
.is cut down no shoots ever come
out of the stump. But an oak felled
will send out shoots from the stump
find a new tree will grow out of the
“old stock. When the Assyrian is
cut down it will be forever—and so
♦ It has been—'but when Judah was
. felled it would only be for a time. A
shoot would come out of the stump
of Jesse and a branch out of his
roots should bear fruit. It looked
as though Judah.’s history was at an
end, but in God’s own time there
came from the stock of Jesse a
'shoot, just a tender shoot at first
in the Babe of Bethlehem, which
’grew into the branch and which is
-even now bearing fruit. \
x Character of Reign
Th e King who had such a small
beginning, a king of David's line, is
described. Upon Him should rest
itjhe Spirit of God, the Xflrit of wis
dom and understanding, the spirit of
counsel and might, the spirit of
A knowledge and of the fear of Je
hovah. Notice this seven-fold spir
it —perfection in mental, moral and
spiritual equipment. It takes this
perfection to make Him eligible to
be the king over all the earth and
for His kingdom to be permanent.
■ • His kingdom—His reign—shall be
characterized by perfection of rule.
“His delight shall be in the fear of
Jehovah.” One translation gives
? this—His every breath shall be in
tjie fear of Jehovah. God’s will is to
be the supreme law of His kingdom
ahd is to characterize equity. The
poor will get justice and the meek
will get his due. No sin will have
any place in His kingdom, but
righteousness and faithfulness shall
■girdle every act.
How greatly do we desire such a
Veign! Man is constantly trying to
secure this by various means, but
just as consfantly failing. Democ
racy is what we need, says one; Jand
*• democracy has been tried and failed.
This party says that the failure is
lue to the party in power, and makes
extravagant claims if only the reins
of government are put in their
hands. This man points out the
weakness of the other,- so that no
>ne would ever suspect that the other
< had any virtues at all, and loudly
proclaims his own ability and »per
fection(?) Sometimes he‘succeeds in
.ooling enough voters to secure his
election, and then they discover that
ije is far from perfection, and that
their high hopes for the best aro
ioomed to disappointment. Some are
telling us today that these things
can only be secured when the prin
ciples of Jesus are adapted by the
rulers in authority. That will be a
e long step in advance of course, but
China's adoption of the principles of
democracy have not made China an
ideal republic, nor has Germany’s
adoption of the principles of democ
racy improved the condition 'of her
people. We must have more than
the principles of Jesus; we must have
Jesus Himself rule over every heart
and in person.; And, praise God,
tthat is just what we are going to
have when He comes the second
time! But not until then.
Ollier Characteristics
' There are to be other character
istics of His reign, when He comes
again. Sin has wrought havoc not
♦ only in the world of men and of
government, but also in the whole
creation. Every animal suffers
from its results. The stronger in
variably attacks the weaker. One
ever a prey to some other. Did
it ever occur to you that very few
animals (other than domesticated
ahimals) ever die a natural death,
but ends in a tragedy—destroyed by
some stronger animal? But in His
kingdom “the wolf shall dwell vyitn
the lamb, end the leopard shall lie
‘ down with the kid; and the calf and
the young lion and the fatling to-
Igether; and a little child shall lead
them. And the cow and the bear
shall.feed; their young ones shall lie

BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Protecting Peach Trees from Borers
E. T. D., Vidalia, Ga., writes:
I have some peach trees set
' yearly this year that have made
' a very satisfactory growth, but
lately I have noticed a gummy
substance adhering to the limbs.
•What causes this and what Is
- - the remedy for it?
The chances are that peach borers
have attacked your trees. They are
very troublesome insects and must
be controlled or they will do serious
damage to the orchard. Various
methods of procedure may be■ fol
lowed. A common one is to scrape
*ttre earth away from the roots of >
the trees and run a wire or sharp !
knife in the hole made by the borer
/or the purpose of killing the in- |
sects. Sometimes a good deal of dam- ;
age is done the young trees by this ,
procedure especially where the op
erator is careless. Another method
of procedure is to apply paradichoro
benzene. This is a white, crystalline
material. It has the characteristic
odor of moth balls and the appear
ance of coarse salt. In your section
6? the state, the material should be
applied immediately. Earlier treat
tnent would have been better. For
trees that are five years old and up- .
* the average dose is one ounce.
For very old trees, this may some
times be increased. Before this ma
terial is used, prepare the ground
with a hoe or rake. Break the crust
thoroughly and remove any grass or
weeds growing at the base of the i
tree. Then smooth the soil off with ■
a shovel. Apply a ring of this ma- i
terial about the tree. Place it from !
1 .1-2 to 2 inches away from the :
tree. Bo not lot the crystals come in ,
’’tMj.tact with the trunk of the tree. •

I down together; and the lion shall
e eat straw like the ox. And the. suck
t ling child shall play on the hole of
’ the asp, and the weaned child shad,
put his hand on the adder's den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in
, all My holy mountain; for the earth
j shall be full of the knowledge of the
Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
1 It is that knowledge of the Lord
a that is the great characteristic. We
7 shall know Him then for we shall
j se Him as He is. Beloved, now are
, we the Sons of God, and It doth not
a yet appear what we shall be; but
' we know that when He doth appear,
’ we shall be like Him, for we shall
1 see Him as He is.
1 Now there are more than a thou
sand million people who have never
’ heard the name that is above every
1 other name, the only name given
■ among men whereby we may be
1 saved. Then it shall not be neces
! j sary to say to thy neighbor “I know
i i the Lord,” for all shall know Him
> i from the least even unto the great
- | est of them. Now that name is not
; ! known, and in many places where
i I it is known it is not hallowed, but
, j then from the rising of the sun even
. ' to the going down of the same His
name shall be great among the
heathen, for at the name of Jesus,
every knee shall bow and every
’ tongue confess to the glory of God
the Father. For it shall come to
! pass in that day that this little
• .shoot out of the stock of David shall
1 be set up as an ensign for the peo
-1 pies, He shall be the standard, and
Him shall all the nations seek, and
His resting place shall be glorious!
While all the nations are seeking
Him, what shall become of the na
tion which He chose, and to whom
He offered Himself when He came,
who rejected Him, and who have
been scattered among all nations?
It shall come to pass in that day
that Jehovah will again a second
I time recover with His hand the rem
| nant of His people. He will set up
I this ensign to the nations, will as
i semble the outcasts of Israel, and
I gather together the dispersed of
j Judah from the four corners of the
- earth. There shall be an highway
' for the remnant of His peoples as
there was for Israel in the day that
He came up out of the land of Egypt.
No, God will not forget the people
He has chosen. God’s oath has been
given to them, .and nothing less than
a liberal fulfillment will protect the
character of Him who sware to
Abraham, and to Isaac and to Jacob
and to David.
“In that day thou shall say, I will
give thanks unto thee, O Jehovah,
for though thou was’t angry with
me, thine anger is turned awav and
thou comfortest me. Behold, God is
my salvation; I will trust and not be
afraid; for Jehovah, even Jehovah,
is my strength and my song; and He
is become my salvation.”
In That Day
What a glorious picture of the
reign of Christ —a King on the
throne of David at Jerusalem who is
filled with the spirit of God, perfect
ly equipped; a King who reigns in
righteousness, who sees that every
subject is treated as he should be.
a King who puts down sin in every
form, and really makes the world
safe for the little children and the
weakness of the animals, a King
unto whom every nation of the earth
will seek and whose resting place
will be a glory; a King wh remem
bers and fulfills every promise to the
letter, even though those to whom
the promises were made turned
against Him, treated His blessings
with curses, and crucified Him for
His kindness, a King in whom every
one can put their trust and not be
afraid, who is become our salvation,
our strength, and our song; a King
who is in the midst.
When shall these things be? “In
that way” is God’s answer. Did you
notice that seven times in this proph
ecy Isaiah uses that expression?
Study each one of them. “In that
day” when shall that day be? “But
of that day and hour knoweth no one
but the Father, not yet the Son.”
Jesus Himself did not know it then;
of course, He does now. While we
know not the day nor the hour He
has given us certain knowledge that
is valuable. It may be at even, or
at midnight, or at the cockcrowing,
or in the morning. It will come
when the bride hath made herself
ready. It will come when the last
number of the body of Christ has
been added and the body is complete.
It will come when the mystery of
iniquity is fully developed. It will
come when the great heart of God
can stand no longer the rebellion
of wicked men who strive against
the Spirit. It will come when the
Spirit of lawlessness and rebellion
against God have reached a climax.
It will not come by the schemes of
men to effect pure government or tv
dispense justice. It will not come
by the growth of the church and the
gradual acceptance of the example
and teachings of Jesus. It will not
come by the union of the churches,
nor by any federation of govern
ments. nor by any co-operation of
races. It can only come by the per
sonal presence of Jesus Christ, Son
of God, Son of David, and by His de
struction of the works of the devil.
■ “Behold, I come quickly,” were
His last words. “Even so, come
Lord Jesus, come quickly,” is also
our response and our desire.
A few shovels full of earth should be
put over the crystals and packed
dovn. The gas generated, is destruc
tive to the borer. After the trees
have been exposed to the gas for six
weeks, the mound should be torn
down, and soil from about the base
of the trees scattered.
House Urges Georgia
And Tech to Resume
Athletic Relations
! The Georgia house of representa
i fives Friday went on record as fa
voring a resumption of athletic re
lations between the Georgia School of
■ Technology and the University of
Georgia. The resolution was adopt
ed with only one or two dissenting
votes.
The resolution stated that a re
sumption of athletic relations be
tween the two state institutions
would have a tendency to restore
their confidence and good faith in
each other and the good will of the
people of the state at large.
[ The authors of the resolution were
Representatives Wilson, of Walton;
Barrett ,of Stephens, and McClure, ot
Walker, all Georgia alumni, and the
last mentioned an instructor in the
; university at the present time, and
Representative Linder, of Jeff Davis,
& graduate of Georgia Tech.
I Representatives Wilson and "Bar
' rett made speeches in favor of the
: resolution while Representative Dan
iel, of Troup, opposed its adoption on
; the grounds that it was none of the
I legislature’s business to interfere in
’ the relations of the colleges.

Dead Children:
Just a brief description of the
clothing of the American Indians.
“The clothing of the Indian varied
from the breech or loin cloth of the
Southern tribes, to the southwestern
tribes who wore blankets, to the
New England who dressed
in cloth and skins, and the north
western clans which dressed entire
ly in skins. Some of the tribes went
barefoot most of the time; all of
them had moccasins. Originally cot
ton was used only by the .southwest
ern groups; other tribes wove willow
and cedar bark fiber, sage brush
and basswood bark, corn husk fiber,
Indian hemp, and pommewaw grass
fiber. The women twisted or spun
the fibers by rolling them under the
palm upon the thigh. It is said that
cedar bark “wool” was of the soft
ness and fineness of our downmor
cotton. Bark was broken up with
corrugated beaters of whale bone, or
loosened into fibrous masses with
half moon shredders. Upon these
simple garments were embroidered
elaborate designs in beads of many
shapes and colors, porcupine quills
and feathers. For the chiefs and
warriors great cloaks and headresses
were made of feathers. Earrings of
beads, stones, bird beaks and animal
claws often hung from their cars. Th
Indian, savage as he was, preferred
sowiness to art, although the bas
kets and pottery made by him show
ed real artistic qualities.”

Dt-ar Aunt .Tulia and Cousins: I wonder
if you all will admit a happy little Alabama
girl into your interesting Letter Box' No,
I am not wealthy, nor pretty, but just hap
py, because I know lam blessed. My par
ents are still living and all of my brothers.
I haven’t any sister, but I know I have the
sweetest baby brother in the world. I live
on a farm and enjoy it very much. Could
notenjoy anything any more than I do farm
life. How I wish I could see all you cous
ins and dear Aunt Julia, too. I know she
is so nice and kind to us all. I read all the
letters in the Letter Box, and love all of
you cousins. Wish you all were where you
could visit me. I know we would have a
jolly good time. I am visiting my grand
parents now, and my auntie and myself are
having some jolly times. I am a girl, eight
een years of age. I hope to hear from all
of you cousins. Please write me. Nothing
would please me so as to hear from you all.
I will answer every letter I receive. With
love to you all, and a kiss to Aunt Julia.
My little auntie, Louvlcie, sends her love,
to °’ VANA ADAMS.
Nauvoo, Ala.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: May I
come in for a few minutes? I won’t stay
long. No, I am not a farm girl. I wish I
was, because I feel out of place among you
farmer lads and lasses. If I should take a
subject, it would be confidence. If we have
confidence in ourselves when we try to do
something that looks or seems impossible
for us to do; if we just touch it and run
away, we’ll come in contact with it again
some other day, but if we believe we can do
it, and grasp it firmly and hold tight,
though it goes up, down, sideways or how
ever it may, we can master it. Do you
cousins like to read? I surely do, and spend
most of my time reading. I am specially
fond of poetry. Our Georgia poet, Sidney
Lanier, is a favorite of mine. His poems
are very good. Not many people like Shake
speare’s writings as well as I do. Much
good can be derived front his pieces, pTiis
is one quotation from Shakespeare that I
like: “Above all. to thine own self be
true, and as night day, thou
canst not then be false to anyone.” Who
has my birthday. March 22? I am fifteen
years of age. You cousins, all of you. write
to ine and send your photo, too, for I want
to make a cousins’ album. I’ll answer every
letter received —or have some one to help
me do it. I will close. A sincere niece and
cousin.

Dearest Auntie, Heyo Cousins: Now,
cousins, don't get frightened for I’m the
same Georgia girl knocking for admittance
again. And please, cousins, don’t think I
am intruding for coming again so soon, for
I just can’t stay away any longer. Oh, I
thank you dearly. Aunt Julia, fbr printing
my other letter. Hope you will print this
one. I don’t think I will take a subject, but
if I should take a subject it would be
friends, and if there is anything I like bet
ter than friends it is more friends. If there
is any one we dislike we can be kind to
them and make them like us. Hello, Bessie
Hudson. You have my birthday, February
6. Has anyone else my birthday? Irma
Trynham, I agree with you for I think ev
erybody should be. Bernice Beaty, come
again. Your letters are always interesting.
I know most of the cousins agree with me,
if not all of them. If any of you cousins
have the book of Dora Dean please lend it
to me. I will return the favor in any way
I can. If any one wants the Words of the
songs. "When You and I Were Young.
Maggie.” “When You Wore a Tulip and I
Wore a Big Red Rose” and “Last Night,”
I will send them to you. I guess I am like
most of you cousins, going to school and
pushing onward for an education, for I
think everybody should strive for an edu
cation. We have a real good teacher, one
that makes us move around somewhat fast.
Guess most of you cousins are getting readv
for Christmas. I hope everybody will be
made, glad by old Santa coming with many
presents and toys. I am looking for old
Santa to come and fill my stocking to the
brim. I wonder if all of you cousins are
like me, glad that Christmas will soon be
here. I am looking forward for a grand
time. We are grinding cane now, so you
see I’m getting sweet. Wish all of you
cousins were here with me. We’d have a
grand time. I am thanking Aunt Julia for
printing my other letter. If anybody wishes
to correspond with a black-haired girl, just
write to me. I will answer all letters and
cards received, and all that send their photo
will get one of mine in exchange. Auntie
I think the story of the Indians is real in
teresting. I.ots of love.

Dear Folks: Some friend wrote
asking if I could not suggest “some
thing new” for Christmas dipner.
My reply was that days Christ
mas should cling tw old-f-ashioned
things. ■
The good, old-fashioned dinners
can, however, be modified. In Ye
Olden days, the tables literally groan
ed under the weight of food. We no
longer consider that good taste, nor
is it good for our health, but a din
ner on the line, of the ones of by
gone days makes Christmas seem
more like Christmas.
Cordially yours,
• AUNT JULIA.
Farmerette: Your corn should
weigh (shelled) 56 pounds to the
bushel; your white (or Irish pota
toes) should weigh 60 pounds, and
your sweej: potatoes 55 pounds to the
bushel. You are right in prefering
to weigh your produce instead of
measuring it. No question can be
raised when it is ' sold by weight.
These weights are according to the
laws of the United States.
I Housekeeper: Here are some of
j the uses for kerosene, other than
'fuel oil: As a disinfectant, poured
i through drains; to clean marble, por
celain, basins, bath tubs and enamel
ware generally; to wash paint, in
place of water; to remove fly specks.
Eva: If you find that the use of
water on your face in winter, as you
have to be out of doors, chaps your
skin, cleanse your face at least twice
; a day with a pure cleansing cream.
Bride-to-Be: I’ve a prejudice
against marriages. on Sunday or holi
days—just a personal matter.
Father: Os course it is hard for
you to think of letting your “biggest
girl” leave home for school, and as
you say in taking her mother’s place
she is doing’ a big thing, but you
must think of her future as well as
the comfort of having her with you.
If she has two or three years now
iff a good school, she will surely come
back to you a happier and more
helpful girl. She has some rights
in the matter.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
plaese let a farmer’s wife join your happy
band? My husband takes The Journal and
has taken it for six years, I like to read
Aunt Julia’s talks and the cousins’ letters
and Dorothy Dix’s talks and the continued
stories. I think The Tri-Weekly Journal the
best weekly paper published. I like to read
good stories; in fact, all good reading. I
live in the country and enjoy country life
where I can he out in the open air. I think
it healthier than living in town. I help mv
husband to do his work when I can. I
work my garden and try to have something
in it to eat all the year around and try
to raise chickens but I have had awfully
bad luck with them. The hawks catch
them, and all the hogs we have catch and
eat them. 1 have one little boy who will
be five years old the 15th of next January,
and my greatest hope is that God will spare
me to live to rear him, and I am trying
to rear him to be honest and truthful. If
I can’t rear him to he a Christian I want
him to live a? moral life. I guess I had bet
ter be going before I break Auntie’s rules.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
There’s No More Heartbreaking and
Impossible Task Than Trying to
Put Backbone Into a Lazy Hus
band —Love and Respect Are
Lost in the Attempt
A GIRL said the other day:
“I am engaged to be mar
ried to a fine young man who
has but one fault: He is utterly lack
ing in energy and initiative'. He’s
got plenty of ability, but he has
been for years
in the same po-

“His motto is
'Never do eny

answers a letter under three weeks,
and when I am going with him
anywhere he is always late coming
for me, and I have to wait, and wait
and wait, until I am in a redhot
temper when he does arrive.
“What he needs is somebody to
keep continually behind him, and
push and prod him into making a
success of himself.”
“My dear,” said I, “don’t you un
dertake the job unless you are out
hunting for trouble, and have a cos
mic urge for making a martyr of
yourself, for, believe me, no woman
ever undertakes as heartbreaking a
task as does the one who sets her
hand to making over a man.
“In the first place, it can’t be
done. Nature and habit have both
gotten in their deadly work before
she has ever taken a shy at the
task.

Laziness goes to the bone.
“Whether indolent and slothful
people are the - victims of the hook

With some soul disease that para
lyzes tlreir energies, I do not know.
“But I do not know that*laziness
is an incurable vice, and that you
can do nothing with the people to
whom no achievement is worth the
effort it costs, to whom labor is the
ultimate curse of the and
whose only desire is to loaf through
life.
“That kind of a man never loves
a woman well enoMgh to work for
her. and no wife, no matter how
much of a human dynamo she is,
can supply him with the power he
needs to make him a go-getter.
Many optimistic women have es

all fail, for no wife can transfuse
her own pep into the veins of a

A BEDTIME STORY
BY THORNTON W. BURGESS
Nanny and Danny Hear a Familiar
Voice
There is no thrill like that you fee.!
When in strange lands you chance
to roam,
And hear a once-familiar voice—
The voice of one who comes from
home.
—Danny Meadow Mouse.
When Danny and Nanny Meadow
Mouse had started on their strange
journey in the great man-bird, the
Green Meadows were brown. Most of
the leaves had fallen from the trees
in the Green Forest and the Old
Orchard. Happy Jack Squirrel, Chat
terer the Red Squirrel and Rusty the
Fox Squirrel were busily engaged in
carrying acorns and hickory nuts
and chestnuts and beechnuts to their
storehouses. Jack Frost came every
night. Johnny Chuck had gone to
sleep for the winter. Jerry Muskrat
and Paddj’ the Beaver had finished
I -
S H.f A®t"
Johnny Chuck had gone to sleep for
the winter
making their houses ready for win
ter. Honker the Goose had come
down from the Far North and had
aready continued on his way to his
winter home in the Sunny South.
Jenny Wren had been a long time
gone. So had most of the feathered
folk of the Old Orchard, excepting
those who had planned to spend the
winter there. Old Mr. Toad had
buried himself in the ground and
had already been in his deep winter
sleep for some time. Grandfather
Frog had long since sought his win
ter bed in the mud at the bottom
of the Smiling Pool. As for Danny
and Nanny themselves, they had
prepared for the long weeks of cold
weather, snow and ice, which the
coming of Jack Frost warned them
were close at hand.
It was the third day of their
strange journey that Danny noticed
how much warmer it was than it
had been. The great man-bird had
come to rest late in the afternoon,

Dear Aunt Julia: I would like to know
what you and ail the cousins are doing this
windy afternoon. I am very lonely. Aunt
Julia, I thank you with all my heart for
printing my ether letter. I have moved a».
you may notice, since I wrote to the Letter
Box last. I will take for my subject this
time, "Home and Love.” I agree that there
is no other place like home. I never be
lieved it until after I moved away from t:i»
place on which I bad lived over twelve
years. It seems like home to me. “Love is
the light of the world.” It is the greatest
thing there is. The poorest people can li'-e
happy ia a humble home where there is love
between them. When the richest one can
not be happy in a mansion where there is
no love. Well, cousins, I guess most of you
are going to school. I am not as lam hav
ing to work. 1 only have two more years
in high school. I am sixteen years old. Bv
-•ybody write to me. An old cousin.
LOTTIE INGRAM.
•- r>- . rox tsn.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18. 1923.
“As for a woman making any
thing of a man by trying to keep
him jacked up all the time, that is
another fallacy. Forget it. The
only effect of a wife keeping contin
ually after a husband and trying
to spur him tn is to make him hate
her,
“She becomes a thorn in the flesh.
She is the outward and visible sign
of the thing he loathes most. She
is the nagging of his conscience. She
is a perpetual reminder of his own
shams in being too weak and inert
to do a man’s part.
“No man’s love survives having
his wife tell him of his faults, or
nag him about his shortcomings. A
man may suspect that he cuts no
important figure in the outside
world, but his vanity demands that
his wife shall admire him, that she
shall believe in him, that he shall
measure up to her standard of man
hood.
“Therefore, you cannot picture a
man finding much comfort in the
society of a wife who is a spur in
his side, roweling him on to greater
speed, urging him to take the hazard
ous jumps. Nor can you imagine a
man yearning to come home at night
to a wife who is always asking him
if he has done this, and why he
hasn’t done that, and throwing up
to him the achievements of other
men.
“No, domestic happiness is predi
cated upon husband and wife hold
ing a mutual admiration society in
stead of an anvil chorus, and the
wives who are best loved are those
who are most adept at incense burn
ing, and who never grow weary in
the good work. A man must have
some woman to admire him, and if
his wife doesn’t, he hunts up some
other woman who does, which is an
elemental fact in masculine psy
chology that women do well to bear
in mind.
“Being a man’s inspiration, which
is the way women camouflage their
intention of making a vertebrate
man out of mush, is something that
appeals to the feminine love of med
dling in other people’s business. But
in real practice it is neither as di
verting nor as successful as it prom
ised to be. Putting aside the diffi
culties of the task and its boomerang
rewards, v ome n find that they soon
lose interest in the undertaking.
“For women do not love long,
where they do not respect, and no
woman respects the man who has
not strength to stand alone, but
who has to lean on a woman, nor
can she respect the man who is just
too inert to hold his own among men.
“To a woman, just plain laziness,
lack of energy, slothful self-indul
gence in ease, are the unforgivable
sins. She could more easily con
done the breaking of all the Ten
Commandments. And when she
finds out she is married to a man
who is afraid of work, love flies out
of the window.
• "So, my dear,” I said to the girl,
“don’t marry a shiftless man with
the. idea of making him over. Marry
a hustler who doesn't need to be
made over.”
(Copyright, 1923.)
’ i and, as was hig way, the aviator had
first made sure that there was plen
ty of food in their cage, and then
I had gone away for the night. It was
■ only after the noise the great man
bird made when flying had stopped
that Danny and Nanny could talk.
i “Have you noticed, my dear,” said
Danny, “how much warmer it has
grown? I do not believe Jack Frost
has been here at all. That is queer.
, Usually when Jack Frost comes he
comes to stay. He certainly had come
' to stay on the Green Meadows.”
’ “I wish I knew where we are and
; where we are being carried to,” said
. timid little Nanny. “I wonder when
’ we will get back home again. lam
homesick. I am homesick, Danny
■ Meadow Mouse.”
> “Forget it, my dear,” said Danny,
! who really was enjoying the adven-
1 ture. “You’ll get over it. I don’t see
■ how you can ask for a more com
• I sortable home than you now have
’ i right here in this man-bird.”
> Nanny had to admit that it was
comfortable enough, but she re-
l minded Danny that they were pri
soners and that no amount of com
fort would ever make up for loss of
freedom.
It was very early the next morn
ing while they were eating their
breakfast that Danny and Nanny
heard a voice that fairly startled
them. They thought they must have
been fooled by their own ears. They
stopped eating and listened again.
Tn a moment they heard it again.
It was a scolding voice.
“If I didn’t know that it couldn’t
be so I would say that Jenny Wren
is right near us,” whispered Danny.
“But she can’t be,” whispered
Danny. “She started for the Sunny
South some time ago. But that
voice certainly does sound like hers.
It certainly does. Do you suppose
she has come back?”
“Tut, tut, tut, tut, tut,” sounded
that voice. It certainly was fa
. miliar, very familiar, indeed.

COOLIDGE ORDERS
RELEASE OF LIST
OFWOMS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Presi
dent Coolidge today ordered the re
lease of all remaining imprisoned
violators of war laws.
About thirty persons will gain their
liberty as a result of the order. They
were convicted in various cases at
Chicago, Kansas City and Sacra
mento.
The action was taken upon recom
mendation of the special committee
appointed to investigate the question
of amnesty and upon the advice of
the department of justice.
Immediately upon receipt of the
president’s order, the justice depart
ment began preparation of the nec
essary warrants. The prisoners will
be released as soon as the warrants
reach the federal penitentiaries in
which they are incarcerated.
The order issued by the president
ends a fight which has been in prog
ress almost continuously since con
clusion of the World war to bring
about the release of those convicted
for violation of laws enacted for war
purposes. The cases were reviewed
upon two separate occasions by
President Harding, and each time
clemency was granted a limited num
ber.
The final action taken by Mr. Har
ding on the day he started on his ill
fated trip to the Pacific coast and
Alaska reduced the number remain
ing in prison to about thirty, and
soon after Mr. Coolidge entered the
White House those active in the be
half of the prisoners renewed their
appeal.
All of the prisoners are in the fed
eral prison at Leavenworth, Kan.

Six Baby Apple Trees
Healthy, vigorous little “baby trees” that grow rapidly
into large, heavy-cropping trees. They are produced by
grafting a branch from a fruit tree to a healthy one-year
root, and tying the union with waxed twine. Though
less than a foot in length, they take root shortly after being
