A Woman's Logic.
The following fable, which Is prob
ably of Turkish origin, is not without
'a touch of truth: As a woman wan
i walking, a man looked at and follow -d
her.
"Why," said she, "do you follow
me?"
"Hecause," he said, "I have fallen tn
love with you."
"Why so? My sister, who is comins
after me, is much handsomer than 1
am. Co and make love to her."
The man turned back, and saw a
woman with an ugly face, and, boing
greatly displeased, returned and said:
"Why should you tell me a false
hood?" The woman answered: "Neither
did rou tell me the truth: for. If you
were in love with me, why did you
look back or another woman?"

Shower of Questions Made no Trouble
for Information Man at Busy

A largo and garrulous woman ap
proached a policeman in the lobby of
tho new Union station and asked, all
in one breath:
"What time does tho Missouri Paci

does the Santa Fe go to Newton; how
high was tho water In tho 1903 flood;
how much docs that man charge for
bananas?"
"You are looking for the Informa

her over the cage of the man who
knows everything. Tho woman re
peated her Inquiry:
"What time does the Missouri Pa

high was the water in tho 1003 flood;
how much does that man charge for

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.
Almost everyone knows that Sago
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which Is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for "Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you
will get a large bottle of the famous
old recipe for about 50 cents.
Don't stay gray! Try it! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does it 83 naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft brush with It and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time, by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

Two workmen are building separate
structures. One Is a palace of costly
stones, and for
embolliHh m o n t ,
precious gold and
sliver; tho other
a hovel. Into
which he is put
ting the flimsiest
material wood,
hay, stubble. Hoth
workmen are
building side by
side upon the
same foundation.
At length tho
two structures are
completed and tho
builders rest front
their labors. Sud
denly one day a
fire breaks out. It sweeps up one
street and down another, licking ui
the buildings that lie in Its path, and
finally envelops the palace and the
hovel. When the fire ceases, not a
vestige of the hovel remains. The
flames have wiped out tho structure
built of wood, hay and stubble; but
the palace stands. The marble in it
gleams the brighter and the gold and
silver shine the more resplondently.
The lire has proved each man's work
of what sort it is. The workman
whoso structure Btood tho test re
ceives his reward; while tho other,
whose hovel was Bwept away, suffers
lows, ho himself being saved, yet so
as by fire. Such Is the picture pre
sented by the text. What aro so mo
of Its lessons?
The Only Foundation.
There is only one foundation upon
which a man can build a superstruc
ture of works. That foundation Is
Jesus Christ. This Is a simple, ele
mental truth, but one which needs a
deal of emphasis in these days, for
many have not yet discovered that
the divine order in grace Is tile Bame
order which holds in the putting up of
a building the foundation first, then
the superstructure. Salvation first,
then works; nnd not works flrnt nnd
then salvation. "For by grace have
ye been saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves, it is the gift of f!od:
not of works, that no man should
glory" (Eph. 2:8, 9, n. V.).
Soino years ago at Catawlssa, Pa.,
after the destruction of a bridge, tho
contractor upon removing the first
pier, prior to tho building of a new
one, discovered that tindernenth there
was no foundation. The pier simply
rested upon the bed of the river, and
when a heavy flood came the entire
structure was washed away. Yet, how
many there are who are building a
superstructure of works without tho
real foundation, Jesus Christ! They
give their money to feed the poor,
clothe tho naked, house the homeless,
educate the Ignorant, heal the body,
relieve distress. In works they are
ceaseless and untiring, but they are
building their structure without the
foundation. They are doing like tho
man In the parable, of whom our Lord
told, who built his house on the Band
and when "the rains- descended and
the floods came, and the winds blew,
nnd smote upon that house It fell."
"For other foundation can no man lay
than that which Is laid, which Is
Jesus Christ."
We need to take heed how we build
thereon. For It Is possible to build
on ttie only foundation a palace or a
hovel.
This Is a truth which concerns the
saved and not the unsaved. It is not
a matter of salvation, but of sorvlce.
Between salvation and service there
Is a wide difference. Salvation is a
work of God for us and In us and Is
all of grace. Service Is work which
those who are saved render unto God,
and for which they shall receive a re
ward, or shall suffer loss.
The Testing Day.
A testing day is coming when the
character of our work, as Christians,
shall bo made manifest.
"The day shall declare it." Not a
day of judgment for our sins, which
were Judged in Jesus Christ on the
cross; but a day when our work shall
be made manifest. The day when the
Lord comes, "who will bring to light
the hidden things of darkness, and
iiake manifest the counsels of the
hearts" (I Cor. 4:5). Then the fire
ltseh' shall prove each man's work
of whiit sort It Is. Not literal fire,
but the holv, consuming energy of
the Ixrd himself, for "Our Cod la a
consuming fire."
If we have built only a hovel, wa
shall suffer loss, Irretrievable loss,
but we shall bo saved, yet bo as by
fire.
Must I po, nnd empty-handed?
Must I moot my Savior so?
Indeed not, for we may build a pal
ace instead of a hovel, and be not only
saved but rewarded for our work.
That each man may in that day
have his praise from God (I Cor. 4:5),
let us, as Christians, in our work herd
three simple rules:
First, a right purpose: the glory of
God (I Cor. 14:3).
Second, a right plan: the word of
God (II. Tim 3: 1G-17).
Third, a right motive: the constrain
ing love of Christ (II Cor. r,.H).
Whle'j Is H to be, a palace or a
hovel!

Lesson
(By E. O. PK1.LKHS, Acting Director of
Hwnday Hrhool Count) Moody Bible In
stitute, Chicago.)
LESSON FOR JANUARY 31
THE BIRTH OF 8AMSON.
T.KfiHON TKXT-Judnea 13:8-16, 2I-21.
GOLDKN TICXT-Bewnre. I pruy thee,
anil drink no wine nor atronif drink.
Judgei 13:4. '
The story of Samson bulks lurge In
the book of Judges and In the Interest
and Imagination of all men ever since
his day. This being the only lesson In
a Beven years' course we suggest, In
outline, Samson's entire life.
I. Samson's Parents. God chooses
a humble man and woman, folk of piety
and prayer, to bring forth and rear
this great deliverer. The angel's most
lmprobablo promise (13:3) Is accepted
by Manoah and his wife ( 13: C. 7).
They express a desire to be able to
measure up to the responsibility a
suggestion to parents. There Is also a
hint of the dual responsibility of par
ents In tho words, "teach us." (See
Kph. 6:4; Jas. 1:5-7.) It was reason
able to believe that the one who
brought the promise could also tell
them how to train and nurture the
child. God honored the mother's pray
er and she shares her experience with
the father (v. !). As the mother of a
Nazarlte alio must keep herself from
all tilings unclean (v. 14; II Cor. 6:
17), even as Mary, tho mother of
Jesus (Luke 1:38). Tho experience of
tho sacrifice, the worship of Manoah
and his wife and the fact of Sam
son's birth completes the record of
chapter 13. Manoah could not worship
the angel, but could show him hospi
tality. Verso 18 (ft. V.) seems to indi
cate that this was another prenianl
fostation of our Lord Jesus.
II. Samuel's Power. Every race has
its superman, and usually it is one of
physical strength. That Samson had
no physical evidence of his superior
strength is evident from the fact that
Delilah asked to know his secret. Nor
was his strength In his hair, else there
was no need that the "Spirit of
Jehovah" should come upon him. Tho
secret of his power is Indicated in
ll!:23. Tho word "move" suggests to
play upon a harp, ns if Samson's heart
was open to God as a harp is open to
human touch. "Samson's power was
the result of a faith that was open
to the infinite storehouse of the di
vine dynamic." Such spiritual power
Is within the reach of every man.
Samson ("sunny") was full of laugh
ter; not the comic, but the Joyous. I In
did the big things God gave him to do
and was tilled with gladness. Put
Samson came under thn spell of an
evil woman and all of this true laugh
ter and glad joyousness left his soul.
Chapter 13, verso 2f, Illustrates the
anointing of the Holy Spirit forservlco
as perhaps distinguished from the
same Spirit for holiness. The laughter
heard in the haunts of sin has lots its
buoyancy, Is forced, Is different. Is
that of men whose hearts are unclean.
III. Samson's Impurity. A woman
can make or mar the man with whom
she associates. As a Nazarite. Samson
was dedicated unto God, must not al
low a razor to touch his head, was not
to touch anything unclean, nor drink
Intoxicating liquor. This vow waa
usually for a short period. Samuel and
John the Ilaptizer are other Naza
rites recorded In Scripture, and are
said to have been such from birth
(3:14; 1G: 17; Luke 1:15). Samson's
strength burned out when he lay his
head in a harlot's lap and the laughter
went out of his soul. It was that
which broke the contact between him
and God Samson's birth In a godly
home, his knowiege of his relation to
God and the experience of God's power
did not keep him from an ignoblo
failure. He left the atmosphere of
God's spirit for that of sin (Prov. 4:
23).
IV. Samson's Imprisonment. We find
him after his excesses grinding in tho
Philistine prison, where he perhaps
overheard praises being sung to Dagon
who had overthrown Jehovah's Judge.
It is never safe to play with tempta
tion though conscious of our own
strength; then It Is we are most apt
to fall (I Cor. 10:12). One act and
the gay hero is grinding In a prison
house. Directly a man goes into Im
purity, whether In act or thought, he
loses the power that formerly moved
men or worked wonders. Year after
year Samson plodded his round of en
forced toll, a type of the force and
power of Intemperance and other im
pure habits. During these years ho
doubtless put his hand upon his head
and said, "My hair is growing again."
and it gave him courage to believe
that God would yet give him another
chnnce.
Finally, "when their hearts were
merry" (16:25), ho Is brought out to
make sport. During one of his resting
periods he suld to a boy near by, "Let
mo feel of the two pillars," those upon
which tho main walls rested and
which were within a man's reach.
Then It was that he was able to grip
the mysterious power of the unseen
(16:30). Was Samson a suicide? No!
He accepted death as the Inevitable
consequence of his act of duty (See
Heb. 11:32).
The growth of his hair was only a
token of that consecration which he
had surrendered when he failed to
withstand the wiles of Delilah.
The Temperance Teaching of this
lesson Is all too plain. It must begin
In the home and continue throughout
all of life. As we have scattered in
formation throughout our land wa
have seen the work of temperance ad
vancing mightily. Samson's exploit
with the linn Is a temperance sermon
in parable (14:5, 6; Prov. 20:1). The
businesn of tho temperance forces Is
to slay tho lion. We are also to eat
' honey out of the rock," to gain vic
tories, within and without, and, like
Samson, wo can give honey to others.
To have a part in helpiug to redeem a ,
lost world requires that we Vjmo clean. 1

IN WEST VIRGINIA.
A passenger conductor of the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad writes
to Hon. Fred O. Hlue, state tax com
missioner of West Virginia, as fol
lows: "I was doubtful, as was every
body else, as to the effect such a law
would have. I must confess that the
immediate effect has been almost be
yond belief. We have now passed
several pay days and Saturdays, and
there has been absolutely no drinking
worth mentioning, and where I had to
endure personal risk In fist encounters
almost every week to securo order
from some drunks, I now handle even
larger crowds with comparative ease.
The women nnd children are now trav
eling, partly on thn money that was
spent for booze and partly because
they are not afraid to travel. The re
sults seem too good to last, but if all
the officers of the law keep after It, 1
seo no reason why things shall not be
even better ns time goes on. This Is
a pretty unqualified Indorsement for
a railroad conductor who has been up
against tho world and a rough part
of the world for 30 years, but I feel
that tho changed conditions war
rant it."
Tho following was received from a
large coal operator of the state:
"I never in my life saw such a great
improvement In tho way of behavior
and manly conduct as on the passenger
train of the Cabin Creek branch of the
Chesapeake and Ohio since whisky
censed to be a merchandising proposi
tion in our state. Further, I notice
with great pleasure that a large por
tion of our men who used to go out to
get whisky arc now sending this
time with their families or at the Y.
M. C. A., and a portion of the money
which originally went for whisky is
now going toward tho entertainment
of their families, which means untold
pleasures for the children."
Mr. Hlue concludes his report with
this statement: "Such letters from
men In touch with the practical, every
day life tspeak with moro convincing
power than anything I can say."
A WARNING.
"1 can drink or let It alone as ho
does." says tho young man, pointing to
a respected member of the community
who Is a "moderato" drinker. Too
often the followers of such an exam
pin make good on tho first part of
their boast but not on the last. The
brilliant Chnrlos Ijiinh, a victim of
the liquor habit, left this warning to
thn young man taking his first glass:
"Could he look Into my desolation,
and be mad to understand what a
dreary tiling It is when ho shall feel
himself going down a precipice with
eyes open and a passive will; to see
his destruction, and hrvc no power
to stop it, to see all goodness emptied
out of him, and yet not be nble to for
get a time when It was otherwise; to
bear about the piteous spectacle of
his own ruin could he see my fe
vered eye, fevered w ith ti e last night's
drinking, nnd feverishly lcoklng for to
night's repetition of tho folly; could
he but feel the body of this death out
of which I cry hourly, with feebler
outcry, to be delivered, it were enough
to make him dash tho sparkling bev
erage to earth, in all the pride of its
mantling temptation."
ACCIDENTS DUE TC LIQUOR.
"It will not be long before the sa
loon will be ns much separated from
the industrial plant as it is now from
the church. As a matter of business
wo will have to furnish workmen bet
ter entertainment than saloons do.
We also will have to pay In cash to
prevent men from going to saloons to
convert their checks Into currency.
Sixty per cent of industrial accidents
In the United States are duo to li
quor." L. II. Palmer, chief Inspector
of the Pennsylvania department of la
bor and Industry, In an address before
the national congress of Industrial
safety.
A BLESSING TO LABOR.
An authority on the labor question
makes this statement:
"The wiping out of the liquor tratdt
will throw two thousand millions of
dollars nnnunlly into tho legitimate
channels of trade and Industry. This
would take the entire output of every
factory now In existence and necessi
tate the building of new factories. It
would give employment to every idle
person at increased wages. The bene
fits thus accruing to labor would far
exceed the demands that labor Is mak
ing of capital If all these demands
were granted today."
BLOT IT OUT.
The manufacture and sile of liquor
Is responsible for:
Seventy-five per cent of our crimi
nals. Fifty per cent of the inmates of our
insane asylums.
Eighty per cent of tho Inmates of
our poorhouses.
Ninety per cent of our tramps.
The destruction of homes.
The corruption of voters.
Who Is responsible for the saloon?
BUSINESS SIDE OF QUESTION.
"The work of the Bawmlll," said
Rev. Charles Scanlan In a recent ad
dress, "Increases the value of the raw
lumber; the product of the flour mill
Is more valuable than raw wheat; but
ter ,1s worth more than cream, but the
drunkard, who Is the finished pro
duct of the saloon, Is of less value
than he was before liquor touched
him. The saloon destroys, but does
not create values."
BURIES THE DEVIL.
Abolishing the liquor Iraffic does not
kill the devil; but it puts him under
ground; it drives him Into subways,
cellars nnd hidden pipes. When you
bury the devil, a boy has to hunt for
him; when you Iieenso the devil, he
hunts for (lie boy. Clinton N. Howard
SATIRE CONTAINS A MORAL
Demand Than Those One
One's Real Qualities May Be Mora In
Makes Pretense Of.
Among the clever satires In Barry
Pain's new book, "Stories Without
Tears," Is one which relates how a
publisher went to an employment
agency to secure a clever writer.
The agency man told him It would
be easy to fill the order.
"'We've got 480 clever writers on
our books,' he said. 'I'll send a few
dozen of the best around to your ofllee
this afternoon and you can pick one.
Thnt do?'
" 'Nicely,' said the customer, and
rose to go, when he remembered some
thing. i)y the way,' he said, I also
want a boy who can be trusted to take
charge of the stamps and potty cash.'
"Then Mr. Agency threw down his
pen. He did not book that order. He
gave a sigh like a high-power suction
pump. 'Do you?' he said in a melan
choly voice. 'Well, If you find two savo
one for me. 1 want one myself.'
"Oh, my poor friends who are trying
to be cleveier than you are, remember
that the world also wants honcHt men.
"And. ns things stand at present,
Patent Tills with the I'nmonkevablo
Lock are a better market than Krain
Fertilizers containing! Free Phos

Reaucing Illiteracy.
Only fifteen out of every one thou
sand children from ten to fourteen
years of ago in tho United States are
unable to read and write.
Theso figures Just announced by tho
federal bureau of education show a
striking decrease In child illiteracy
