Brown Eyes or Blue? By JOSEPH When Elolse's lover remarked that ' he p bmHnated blue eyes In women be cause tlioy were often tricky and de ,ccltful, It was not to be marveled at ?thut Elolse's big violet orbs widened 'first In surprise, then In Indignation and finally In the worst sort of wound ' vl love and prldo. How did she know that Royco was color blind? i She would not lower herself to de- tiiaud nn explanation of Royce's rude ness; that It was deliberate and cruel ;wus obvious. Furthermore, such an 'observation could have been prompted 'only by some hidden motive whether of resentment or puro ninllee she did not know nnd did not enre. The result jVaa the nn mo, and self-respect left her :jif alternative but to break the en- 'pagenient at once nnd without the abasement cf words or a scene. This 'she dlil by returning by express a dry ' Roods box full of the nccumuated presents of six months and the bo truthal ring by registered mall. $ The frigid farewell she had accord ed him the night before hnd prepared ftoyce In part for what was coming. f How had he offended her? They tad had Innumerable differences dur- . lug the brief period of their engage ment, but these had been followed In evitably by explanations and ecstatic adjustments. She was leaving no ave tine open to him now. She had dls missed him with a cold formality that .signified one thing she had made a mistake In her choice and wanted It rectified before It was too late. She did not love him that was manifest. Anil nothing else mattered, 'j For a long time Royce sat In thought. Should be go to her, force CINCINNATI I SHE COT iw sharply "me green" CAR..

Passing a familiar erlst's shop, he pnuscd almost uncon sciously and bought a huge bunch of Violets. Elolse had worn violets the Irst time ho saw her; he had carried ftem to her on the night of her bo rhrntlial and well. It couldn't matter much ono way or the other If he sent her some now, by way of farewell, Ilth a brief lino regarding his depart e. It would serve to soften tho break, ft nothing more, and prove to her that he still cherished something of the old entlment If she did not. i He serlbhVd n short nieKRnge across ope of his visiting cards, paid for his purchase and left the address for de livery. Then, with his heart Boveral decrees lighter and eyes less hopeless, be swung on down tho avenue. IKIolse packed her trunk between ty'lls ' grin, silence and Irresistible cu. breaks of tears. It was only too true that he had stopped caring for Mr after all. else the salutary step had taken would have elicited Mine protest, some Inquiry. He had nng lu r Into the act by a contempt ible Innuendo and shown further how n:itiy she had fallen Into the trap.

PALCAR ton's name at the end of It suggested no end of glittering possibilities for a gay perhaps a desperate fortnight, mused Elolse. She waited six hours for some shadow of response from Royco to the packages she had sent; then, with a broken heart nnd a brain teeming with reckless resolutions, sho began to tako out her clothes and pack them for tho trip. At four o'clock sho sn.ldenly remem bered that she had not time to wrlto and must send a telegram to her friend stating when to expect her. Sho ran to the telephone only to find that It was "dead." The nearest neigh lor was a block away, but that telo gi mi was essential, nnd, snatching up a scarf, she wound It about her head and hurried down to the Kelceys. Anil a Kelcey met her at the door. Sho wore a mammoth bunch of violets In her belt. Tho odor of them camo In a sickening rush to EIoIhc's senses, but she trampled down ber feeling, as she said, lightly: "What exquisite blossoms! Where did you get them?" "The queerest thing," replied the other girl. "A boy brought them up about noon from MUford Royce. It seems he's going off on a business trip to be absent some time. Rut I can't Imagine why he should have sent me the flowers except that we used to bo good friends and I had a sort of half way engagement to go with him to tho opera next week. Hut of course you know all about his going" "Oh er yes yes, of course. Hut I came to ask tho use of your phono for a moment, dear. Ours Is out or order and I'm rushed to death to get away on that six o'clock train for Cin cinnati." Elolse never knew how she got through with her message nor how she got out of the house without betray ing herself. Anita Kelcey! Of all girls In the world she was the very last she would have dreamed of as a rival. At 5:30 she was ready for the Jour ney. At 5:35 she stepped Into a taxi cab and was whirled toward the sta tion. She took up her position In line at the ticket office anil waited Impa tiently for her turn to come to securo transportation and get aboard her train. As she turned from the window the hot blood splurged to her cheeks; linr gaze trembled bewllderlngly Into the earnest, all-at-once entreating eyes of the man who had yesterday been dear er than all others. "Elolse!" The name escaped him Involuntarily; bo took a quick step toward her, every resolution of the morning forgotten. Rut tho girl lifted her head with a swift touch of dignity and passed him with a cold nod of recognition. In a second he was beside her. Her Indif ference maddened lil tn, and casting prudence to the winds Royce blurted out the first thing that camo Into bis thought. "For heaven's snke, whnt Is It? Why why aren't you wearing my vio lets?" Those violets! Could It be posslblo that they hnd been meant for her in stead of Anita Kelcey? Her mind worked rapidly. Ah! That explained tho dozen American beauties sent to her by young Doctor Ilrean that morn ing they were Anita's; tho delivery boy bad got things mixed. She half opened her lips to speak, when sho suddenly remembered that Indignity of the previous night. Then she began to walk rapidly down tho platform, Royce keeping Imperturbable step at her side. "Where are you going?" ho asked her sternly, "It seems to me that after everything, you owe me some tri fling" "Cincinnati!" she cut In sharply, "the green car over there " "The blue car, with the diner at tached, you mean." Elolse stood stock still and Rtnred Into MUford Royce's perplexed face. MUford!" she exclalmod, relief and amusement struggling for the mastery of her pretty features, "look at me! Whnt color are my eyes?" "Your eyes? Why, brown, of course." He looked at her stupidly. "You haven't been crying, have you?" A train boll rang. With his hand on her arm, Royce hurried her Into tho chair car. "Oh, dear!" cried the girl, as tho train pulled out. "this car Is going to Chicago." "Fo are we, little girl."

Ana's great victory over the Invading- Ethiopians waa gained at Alitreahali, 26 udlua aoutbweat o( Jeru eulcni. Asa was the grandson of Rehoboam. His grandmother, the queen-mother nt the beginning of his reign, was Maa, chah, an Idolatress who had set up an Idol and 1U debased worship In Jerusalem. Apparently Asa was quits a young man when bo came to the throne, perhaps twenty years old. Asa lived in a corrupt court, under the Influence of an Idolatrous grand mother, surrounded by Idolatry, flat tered by courtiers. His faiher nnd his grandfather were neither of them good characters for a boy to look up to. There were alBO some good Influ ences from godly men and the temple worship, the good priests and their teaching of the Word of God. Ho looked out upon his father's kingdom, and upon the northern king dom, and saw what was going on; the Idolatries and the evils that followed ln their train, and the henthen na tions and the fruits of Idolatry ln them. His heart burned within him, and urged him on to reform. There nro two possible effects of the presence of great and prevailing evils. Some are overwhelmed by their power and attractions, and becomo a part of their downward tide. Others are repelled by them, hato tbem with a perfect hatred, nnd arouse all their being to destroy them. We all know Instances of this. One of the best business men of my acquaintance lived when a boy amid tho vilest sur roundings. Rut he hnd open eyes. !Ie saw the effect of laziness, and re solved not to be lazy. He saw the eflects of drinking nnd smoking, and reB.ilved not to drink or Binoke. He saw the degrading effects of profanity, nnd he determined not to swear. And so through the whole list. So Asa "did that which was right ln the sight of the Lord, as did David his father." Asa Immediately began his reforms. There was a period of ten years of rest from external attack. In these years Asa himself did right and obeyed God. His example stood out before all his people. It Is a great thing to have rulers who are true ex amples of goodness. Tbis la the source of the greatest power any per son can have over another. He taught his people the word to God, to seek God, to keep His com mnndments. Education, knowledge of right and wrong, are the guides of tho Impulses to seek God. From Egypt In the southwest there came up an Immense host, ono million Btrong, with three hundred chariots, and like all enrly Oriental armies, living on tho country, consuming the crops, burning the bouses, capturing families, and leaving devastation nnd ruin behind them, like n tire on the prairies, or thn grasshoppers on a farm. They had reached Mareshah, twenty-five miles from Jerusalem. No wonder tho people were terrified. Hut Asa used both faith nnd works. Ho went out with his army, nnd like Cromwell with bis Ironsides, "cried unto the Iord his God, and said, 'Lord, It 1.4 pottilng with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that havo no power; help us, O Lord our God; for wo rest on thee, and In thy nniiio we go against this multitude. O Lord, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.' " It was God's cause as well as the peoplo's, and they were strong In that trust. Tho Ethi opians were overthrown, and their spoil fell Into the hands of the Juiiah Ites. The people entered Into a covenant to seek tho Lord. This was like tho public profession of serving Jesus Christ when Joining the church. Some seem to think that they can be as good nnd as useful without a profeH siou as with the covenant relation with others, and public vows to obey Jesus Christ and our Father In heaven. Hut this Is a mistaken feti!ng. A public covenant gives one a far greater Influence for good. It makes known your valuation Of the cause. It makes each Individual stronger. The principles ln the work of King Asa apply to our own times, but are to be worked out ln ways udapted to modern life. "The church Is an army on duty ,an army for the Christian conquest of the world by loving faith fulness." There are great evils to be driven out of our couutry. The whole land Is waking up to realize the need of civic righteousness. . There Is al ways need of awakoulng new reform ing zeal. For every step we gain glveB us views of new needs, and new Ideals. Religious consecration to God and Ills kingdom Is needed not only for ourselves, but for our country. Pres ident Garfield ln his Inaugural ad dress says: "To fall to glvo our young men a sense and appreciation of the dynamic force of religious faith In the progress of.human affairs. Is to leave them Ignorant of the greatest and' most profound fact of history." Today religion lies at the founda tion of our national hopes Rnd of our Individual character. It was Carlylo who said that the most Important thing In any person or nation Is bis religion. The Good Man.

Edward Earr, People's Pulpit, Milwaukee NEW CURE FOR ALCOHOLISM Surgeon of 6an Antonio, Texas, Ra moves Part of Stomach Called Gastrojejunostomy. One of the most recent contribu tions to medical literature deals with an original method of treating chronic alcoholism. Tho writer, Dr. J. W. Kenney of San Antonio, Tex., declares that the only means of curing alco holics is by surgery, ln proof of his contention ho cites a series of cases so treated by blm. asserting that ln a majority of them a euro was effect ed. His artielo, entitled "The Alco holic Case and a Surgical Operation for the Cure of Chronic Alcoholism," nppears In tho current Issuo of tho Texas Medical Journal. Doctor Kenney's method is to nmko nn artificial opening In tho stomach loop up the Jejunum (a part of tho Intestine), mako an artificial opening in tho Jejunum, nnd unite the two ar tificial openings. Tho operation Is called gastro jejunostomy. Hero nro Doctor Kenney's rensons for resort ing to this operation: "1. Hecanso medical trentment falls In a majority if not all cnes, and must necessarily continue to fall be cause It does not removo the cause of tho gnawing or craving for alcohol. "2. Hecnuse the pathological condi tion cnused by alcohol Is almost Iden tical with pathological cor lit ions pro duced by other causes which are re lieved by surgical treatment. "Tho drunkard In giving a history of his case usually points to his stom ach as the cause of his drinking. Very few claim that tho tasto for liquor has anything to do with It. In the ston neb will also be found tho first evi dence that tho physlcul basis of life protoplasm has been Injured and the physical structure of that organ Is the first to present pathological condi tions. "It has been proved that alcohol stimulates the action of the senses and organs of the body for a short tlmo. This Bupranormal condition Is quickly followed by the Infra-normal, which Indicates a partial pnralysls of the nerve end., and entually of the uervo centers. "Continued repetition of this proc ess results In hardening and partial paralysis of tho musculur coat of tho stomach, and an Inflamed or ulcerated condition of the mucous coat. Such a condition produces a vitiated appetite and Impairs tho action, of tho stom acb, which Is the most important of tho digestlvo processes. To relievo this condition, when produced by nny agent other than alcohol, surgical uuMisures nro demanded. Why not apply the same principle In the alco holic case? "Reasoning along this lino con vinced me that all hope of curing a case of chronic alcoholism lay In n surgical direction, nnd I resolved to try tho operation that I had ln mind upon the first caso that would grant mo tho privilege. An Ideal case Boon presented itself a young man of 'llgli degree, who bad descended to the lowest depths of saloondoni, and had floundered about In It for sev eral years, presented himself with tho request that I do something for him. "After a two weeks' preparatory treatment, n posterior gastrojejunos tomy by simple suture was performed upon him. lie left the hospital thirty days inter. Tills patient was about thirty-five years old, and had been drinking for about ten years. During the last three years business had so Int 'ifcred with bis drinking that he quit business and drank day and night, consuming from one to two quarts) of Whisky during the twenty four hours. He was ono of the best known drunkards In the city, mid no one could remember having seen him sober during the three yetiri preced ing this operation, and he was looked upon as past redemption and abso lutely valueless, from a business standpoint. Today he is assistant manager of a largo mercantile estab lishment In this city and n sober, re spected citizen. "('use No. 2 Is Hint of a young den tist about thirty years of age. llo slated that for several years be had consumed all the liquor ho could get during the day and took a bottle to bed with him at night.

"Ho finally came to the sanatorium and bad the operation performed. From a vagabond dentist, hounded by do.ens of people whose money bo had taken during half-sober Intervals ns advanco payments on work which he was never able to perform, he Is now, and has been ever since the operation, a sober man, and no ono hesitates to trust him with his work. "CaBe No. 3 Is that of a traveling man about thirty-five years of ago. He had been drinking at Irregular In tervals for a number of years. The Intervals had gradually grown closer together until life became Just one long drunk. He entered the sanato rium and had the sanio operation per formed. "It Is not my purposo to advocato so grave a surgical procedure In all cases of chronic alcoholism, but only tu those apparently hopeless cases where everything else has failed, and the patient Ib still ln fair mental and physical condition and wants to be cured. The result nt my hands has thus far exceeded expectations." Use of Alcohol, Dr. Andrew H. Smith of New York, whllo stnnchly defending the use of al cohol ns a medicine, says: "I contend that like morphine, It has absolutely no place in health. Every drop of al cohol, as well as every particle of mor phine, that a well man takes, makes him less a well mnn. I believe that clinical facts will bear out this state ment ln every case. Those who use alcohol nnd still remain In good health tire enabled to do so by a reserve of vital power which would otherwise bo available ln another direction."

Mulaold III, I t. Six thousand years "go In Eden our Maker, ln Justly sentencing his dis obedient children to death, Intimated that ultimately the seed of the woman would bruise the serpent's head. This hidden promise was the first Intima tion of the divine mercy which our gracious Creator purposed In himself from before the foundation of the world. Ever noble, kind and gracious, our Creator restrained his mercy for tho good of his creatures that they might loarn to appreciate the exceed ing sinfulness of sin. For the good of the angels also, and that they might fully know of his Justice, as well as of his wisdom and power, Ood Insist ed upon dealing with his creatures from the standpoint of exact justice. They had sinned and thereby hnd for feited all claim upon the eternal life which he had given them conditional ly. Eternal torment, as we have already seen, did not ln any sense or degree enter Into the divine Intention. His sentence upon mnn, plainly stated, was, "Dying thou shall die," not, Liv ing tbou shalt live ln torment "The soul thnt slnneth It shall dlo" (Gone sis II, 17; Ezeklel xvlll, 4). Ood In tended to exemplify ln his dealings with our race, a principle of divine government to bo made operative everywhere ultimately among all his creatures on the spirit plane, as well as upon the earthly. Israel's experiences of tribulation and bondage In Egypt were probubly necessary to prepare tbem for God's great proposition that they should keep the law and as a reward have life everlasting.. As It Is written, "Do that docth things shall live by them" (Ievltlcus xvlll, 6). Israel greatly re joiced In this manifestation of divine preference for them more than for all others of humanity. Tho law covenant was mediated. The sacrifice of bulls nnd of goats mado a typical atone ment for them fcr a year, bo that they might enter Into tho covenant rela tionship with God. Hut when they at tempted to keep tlio law they wero disappointed. They failed. The lnw of God being the full measure of a perfect man's ability, and the Jews, like other men, being Imperfect, found that they had undertaken an Impossi bility. Not a Jew kept tho law perfectly. Not a Jew, therefore, gained eternal life during the first year. Hut God, foreknowing this, hnd mado prepara tion for a repetition of tho atonement day every year, so that the people might continue striving to attain eter nal life. Year after year, century after century, they failed, and dis couragement took the place of hope. God was teaching them a great lesson respecting the ned of better sacri fices than those of bulls and of goats, and also teaching them thnt there Is no other means of Justification In his sight. They got blessings under tho covenant educational blessings, hut not the blessings hoped for, not life eternal. Hence they were not In n position to become, as I hey bad hoped, n national Messiah, a national seed of Abraham, for the blessing oi all the nations. The first begotten of tho Father, ns Ills glorious ngent In the great work of creation, had the honor granted blm of becoming the great messenger of the rovenant, tho great prophet, priest nnd king of Israel, the great Michael of Daniel xll, 1. Put there were tests connected with bis attain ment of this high position: (II liy faith ho must lay nild his heavenly glory. In obedlenco to the Father's will to become a man not a sinful man, but a perfect mnn holy, harm less, umlcfllcd, separate from sinners. (2) Thus prepared to become the Re deemer It was his privilege to make full consecration of his earthly Inter est and the Father's pleasure to beget him of the holy spirit nt Jordan to the spirit nnturo on tho highest ilnne. For three and a half years his sacri fice burned upon the altar. It was indeed better than tho sacrifice of bulls and goats, for It was a corre spondlng price for Adam; un eye for nn eye, a tooth for a tooth; a man's llfo for n man's life. (3) When Jesus had thus Bncrlflolnlly parted with his earthly life he experienced n resurrec tion change from human nature to spiritual, llko what he was originally, only higher nnd more glorious. Thus he was at once both a sacrifice and the spirit-begotten priest who offered that sacrifice. Then why did he not nt once begin his great work as prophet, priest, king and new covenant mediator for Israel nnd through Israel for the world? It was because there was to be more than ono sacrifice In the divine plan on the day of atonement. When this bride class shall have completed her sacrifice tn and under the merit of the great priest, then cverjr arrangement for the blessing of Israel as Abraham's seed and of nil nations through Israel will have forth with commenced. Thus seen tho reve lation of Israel's great messenger of the new covennnt la very Important not only to the Jew, but also to the world of mankind, who must receive their blessings under Israel by a com i lliince with the same new law covo- DM.t.
