Bennett wus selling newspapers when he was seven nnd i 1 n ci ri i itf n monopoly among village magazine subscribers. Arthur Itoyce nt that age was describ ed an the best pupil In the Sunday school. Nutunilly Jim was the favor ite among the townspeople, who ad mired hustle n kim nt deal more than they admired sanctity. However. Arthur was not sancti monious. He was Just a hard-working, docile sort of chap. At liftmen be was clerking In n More to support his widowed mother, und turning In bis three dollars n week to eke out her Civil war 'tension. At the same aire Jim IV-unott was expelled from school as Incorrigible, und being laughed nt and pelted by bis adoring parents, who were already planning bis college career. Thomas Bennett was presi dent of two biuil.s ami reputed to be rolling in money. At the same age .Mililcent Patterson wns publicly telling Arthur hat she preferred Jim unvlmw, because be wasn't a milksop, und beside Jim w:s rich mid she meant to marry i wealthy man vhen she grew up. "I'm going to be wealthy," :m.swered Arthur, selling bis teeth, "and you're going to marry me."

"The man 1 marry must go to college." Arthur planned to work his way through college, but his mother lived through a long period of Invalidism, and that put mi end to hls'iimhltinus plans. What happened was that Ben nett senior took the boy Into his hunk, where, at twenty-two, he was earning ten dollars n week. Soon afterward Bennett senior died, leaving the banks to Jim. ami Jim cnine home from col lege with the expressed latent inn of making things hum. Milliccnt and Arthur were on speak ing acquaintance, but the young fellow had never gut much further with her. When Jim came home there was not much doubt whom she preferred. She did not take much pains to hide It from Arthur, either. Arthur went to work for Jim. who considerately raised his salary to twelve dollars. He told him, with a grin, that he would be nlile to gi t mar ried on It, If he lived frugally. By this time Jim Bennett and Milil cent Putterson were as good as en gaged. In the opinion of the townspeo ple. Jim Bennett operated a car two cars, for the matter of that, and the two were to be seen together every where. People went so far Its to say that If they were not engaged they ought to be. They were engaged, but what deter mined Mililcent to have It announced was the behavior of Arthur Uoyce. He was culling on her by this time, nnd one evening he seemed somehow dif ferent from whnt he usually was. Mil ilcent said to herself, with a laugh, that he was falling In love with her. But she wns not prepared for his sud den proposal, nor for the tragic way In which he took her refusal. ' "I always told you I'd marry a rich man nnd a college man, nnd you are neliiier, Arthur," said Mililcent. "And I told you I would marry ynu, and I will," answered the boy. "Maybe you will." replied the girl, "but I'm going to marry Mr. Binnett first, anyway." She stretched out a slim, white hand. "This Is my engage ment ring." she said. "Isn't it pretty?" Arthur ran from the bouse. A week later the engagement wns nnnoiinecit Bomeliow there lurked the rudiments of a heart In Mililcent. She was sorry for Arthur, nnd she said nothing about his proM)snl 1(4 Jim. But that was whnt was at the back of her request that the announcement should he made. Nobody was greatly surprised, nnd everyone said that she was a lucky girl, nnd maybe Jim Ben nett would steady down a bit with her hand on the chcckrcln. ' They were married In the Presby terian church, and the wedding wns the event of the week. There were columns about It In the papers. Ar thur rend them In bis hall bedroom. Ills grip lay, packed, on the bed. He hud resolved to run away, anywhere, without notice, but when he had finish ed reading them he suddenly sat up and sqiinred his shoulders. "I'll stay," he said. "And I'll get her. Which expression, th.-ugh far-fetched, might be pardonable In a young fellow of twenty-three. Jim Bennett hml made things hum when he returned from college, as ho had said be would, and he kept up tho process after his return from the honeymoon. I Hiring the next two yeurs Jim Bennett nnd his wife made the money fly. They Inhabited the fin est house In the town, nnd life was for them a succession of entertainments und pleasures. Arthur Itoyce was now getting twenty dollars a week. Ben nett never suw him nnd seemed to have forgotten him. But Mililcent bowed. There Is something uliout a re jected lover that niukes a woman feel tenderly townrd hi in. Two years passed nnd Bennett be came a financial leader In the place. A few who watched knew that his af fairs were unstable. Arthur was among these. And for Mllllccnt's sake he dreaded the crash that must cnine. But Bennett plunged more wildly, until the banks were tottering upon the verge of the precipice, while Bennett Juggled with his millions and refused to look facts In the face. He treated bis wife badly, too, ev eryone knew. There were reports of his Infatuation for several women suc cessively, Arthur saw Mililcent rarely, but he noticed the progressive look of tiuhapplness upon her face. Bennett began to notice Itoyce ngaln. He promoted him to twenty-live, chief ly because another bunk, an old, con servative Institution, wanted to get bold of him. Arthur would gladly have left, but he bail an Instinct niiiilnst leaving his present bink when It was In dilliciiltlcs. One day (lie truth came out. Arthur had been sent to Benn.'tt's house on an Imiiortaut errand. II? found Bennett out, but as he was about to leave Milll- eent came In. "What did he send you for?" she crieil hysterically. "The manager sent me. Mrs. Ben nett. It was nliiitit a private matter." "A banking matter? "Yes." She burst Into tears. "I thorvhf lift sent Voil to taunt Inc." she cried. "He has told aie I ought to have married you. 0, I am so wretched." She cried on his shoulder. Purlni: that Interval the young man learned mnnv things of Bennett's Infnlelilv. of his dishonor. He had made her life a misery from the day they were mar ried. Presently she crew calm. "I should not have spoken In this way," she said. But sometimes I think of ttio olij days do you ever remember them, Ar thur? Beniember them? When they Iny upon his mind forever? Somehow be mnnaucd to tear him self awny. Ills lust memory of Milil cent was of a pale-faced woman who watched him at the door pathetically. as If nothing In lire was worth living for. Faster nnd faster Bennett's bunks careened toward disaster. The com ing crash was clear to everybody now. Bennett himself went about with un anxious face and glum expression. It was nt first u matter of months, then one of weeks then people Just waited. Arthur Itoyce waited. He was think ing all the time of Mililcent and won dering what she would do. One afternoon Bennett sent for Ar thur to come to his house. Arthur had not been there since that last Inter view with Mililcent. He did not like the task; but be went, because It wus part of bis duty. "Mr. Bennett is In bis library, sir," said the butler. "He said yuu were to go right in when you came. Arthur went in. lie saw Bennett seated at his desk. Bennett did not look up. nnd when Arthur approached he saw that he was quite dead, with a biiHet hole through his head. Upon the desk was n letter addressed to him. Arthur opened It. "Take her. She loves you," was all that It contained. Arthur never quite remembered the details of the following hour his has ty summons of n doctor, the terrified servants; lastly Mililcent, whom he had vainly tried to keep out of the room, standing' before her husband's body. And she wrung her hands, nnd all she could say was: "I meant to leave bltu tomorrow." It was six months before Arthut saw Mililcent Bennett again. She hud been traveling. When she came back she went to her old home. She an nounced that she was going to open a school. All the heartlessness seemed to have died when Bennett died. But Arthur hud other plans for her. "Ho you remember, dear," he said to her one day, "how I used to tell you you would marry me, nnd your own prophecy? Yours has come true. Now make mine true. I am going to take over the managership of the Fifth Na tional next month, nnd dearest, I have loved you so long." And Arthur thus came Into his own. Hiitorlc Pawnee Rock.

Satin, crepe, brocade, cloth of gold nnd sil ver, metallic laces, und, above all, masses of net are used for making them. There is no limit to the use of color, which Is of wonderful value In them. Intricate combinations, of color, nnd the Introduction of unusual shades bring the attention to a standstill In many a gorgeous gown. In this par ticular designers have found a new world to conquer, und they appear to be enjoying the business In hand. Leaving the matter of color to those who studv It. the lady of fashion may proceed to choose either straight- hanging or spreading skirts for her evening frocks. If the slim silhouette Is possible to her she may choose It, but the full skirt covers up defects of too little or too much flesh. It makes the waist of the stout figure look small er than It really Is, und It obliterates the angles of the thin woman entirely. The under slip of silk nnd metallic tissues Is In high favor, along with sntln and taffeta, ns a foundation for Collars, Convertible and Otherwise. The trend of fashion In collars is townrd tho original nnd unusual, espe cially In separate collars to be worn for added warmth with suits or frocks. Collars have taken their Inspiration from every period and clime, but only a hint of their origin Is discernible In most of them, for about all cout nnd separate collars are convertible. That Is, whatever the style of the collar to start with. It Is convertible Into a muffler-collar thnt swnthes ull of the throat nnd part of the head.

A Sheep Versus a Man Dy REV. J. H. RALSTON. D.D. Scr4ry of Correspondence Department, Moody Bible Inelltute, Chicago TEXT-How much then Is a man of more value than a eheepT-Mstt 12:1X Is a man worth saving? Should he try to save himself as John the Bap tist exhorted the men of his gene ration to do, or should Christian people try to save unsaved men about them? Sal vage Is ulwuyg c o m m e n liable, whether of the forest or the rainfall, game In the wnter or on land, or tho un used powers o( nature nil around us; but Is not man worth more than these? In a recent religious periodical there was a picture of a drove of unimnls being driven through a passage In a stock yard. In connection with the pic ture was n verse of poetry, describing these us going to the slaughter with out a enre, without n drenm of death, without a quickened breath, all un knowing, und the Inst words of the verso were these: "And these I're idiocp." There was unother picture of young men marching along n city street. They were In civilian clothes, but each carried a bundle ns If going on some very uncertain Journey. .They were described ns smiling to cover hearts that faltered. They knew their fute; they were touched with fear and hate. They were recruits going to tho sluughter, too, and the lust words of the verse were: "And these are men." No, not only In the duys of our Lord, but In these duys the question may bo asked, "Is a man better than a sheep?" Popular Estimate. A man Is worth more than n sheep In dollars nnd cents. In the days ol slavery lu this country a -strong negro man would fetch more In the market than a sheep. Today If a man Is killed by a public conveyance, more can be recovered on bis life than on the life of. a sheep. The higher valuation is largely because Intellectually man Is far above a sheep. Whatever may bo the intellectual power of a horse or a dog, certainly a sheep is considered the least Intellectual of all animals. Man has a moral nature of which the sheep Is apparently5 absolutely devoid ; his spiritual nuture puts him far above any animal. Ills spiritual nature In a sense suggests Immortality, for when he dies his spirit goes to God w ho gave It, while that of n sheep goes down. Man's Estimate of Himself. But what seems to be man's esti mate of himself as compared with a sheep? To preserve a sheep Is to pre serve perishable property or material Interests. To preserve himself, his whole being, Is to preserve bis spirit ual and immortal Interests. How Is a man acting nt that point? Is he not giving more time, thought nnd labor to the things that perish than to the things that endure? Does the Bible get us deep interest as the morning paper? Is the house of worship or prayer attended us enthusiastically as u place of amusement? Is the thought of making the world better as insistent as that of pleasing himself? Man seems to be quite enthusiastic In the propagation of sheep, spending money without stint and giving thought nnd time, to the subject, but how rarely does he consider the propaga tion of the right kind of men. Pos sibly In this day propagation of men for the sluughter In war would be par allel to the propagation of sheep for the food market God's Estimate of Man. What is God's estimate of man? Did he not create him In his own Image und likeness? Someone hns said man Is the paragon of creation, (bid did not do so with sheep. It Is true that everything lu creutlon was good, but no creature was In the likeness of (!od except man. God made full provision for the preservation of his own like ness, making man's environment most congenial to such preservation, and when man demanded liberty of moral choice, God presented the strongest possible plea for obedience. When man fell, God still held before him laws of easy performance and connected with them the fairest promises of blessing. For centuries, while man would fnll away from God, God followed him up most patiently nnd lovingly. When at lust man would not heed the most loving cull to moral rectitude, God gave his only begotten Son to die for htm, nnd for nineteen centuries the salvation of Jesus Christ has been of fered to man without money nnd with out price. And to return to the figure of the sheep, Jesus Christ stands ready to be a spiritual shepherd to any tuun who will come Into his fold. As man demanded moral freedom In the garden of Eden, so today every man Is responsible to God for his standing before htm. He Is his own keeper, in n sense, but as man looks on himself nnd recognizes that It Is utterly Impossible to be perfectly moral, and Is thus rendered hopeless. there Is only one thing to do, und thnt Is to recognize God's gracious provl slon for him In presenting the salvn tlon of Jesus Christ before him for his acceptance. To accept that salva tion is to show that a man estimates himself above a sheep. Many recog nize the value of this acceptance of Jesus Christ In their own experience. but are there not many of these who nre quite Indifferent to those who are about them, who have not so nccepted Jesus Christ ns shepherd? To snve a sheep out of a ditch Is a commend able thing, but to save the soul of a man Is something a thousand times more commendable, nnd Is worthy of the most, laborious and perslsteut ef forts. jKlEDNATlONAL SKfSaiGOL Lesson (By R O. BKI.I.ER8, Arttns Director ot the Sunday School Courae In the Moody intile Institute of CIiIciko.) (Copyright, lilt. Wealwn Newapaper Unlon.l LESSON FOR DECEMBER 10 FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH. LESSON TEXT-Rev. 1:1-17. GOLDEN TEXT Be thou faithful unto death, and 1 will give thee the crown of lle.-Kev. 2:10. This passage most wonderfully Illus trates that dominating purpose of Paul's fife. More than most lessons a map will be necessary to locate dis tinctly the places mentioned. There are Interesting stories in connection with each of the seven cities and churches. It might be wise to give to seven different people the tnsk of bring ing Information to the cluss regard lug each one mentioned. I. Ephesus, whose love Is waning (vv. 1-7). The key word to these mes sages Is the word "overcometh." In each of tho messages our Lord de scribes himself In a different wny ac cording to the peculiar needs of thut particular church. Hero he Is repre sented as holding the stars (messen gers of the churches. Ch. 1 :20) In his right hand, nnd keeping them secure, controlling them while he walks In the midst of the seven golden lump stands, llterully churches. The symbolism of "lump stand" Is used" because the churches were Intended to be light bearers ns they held forth the light given by the oil of the Spirit (Math. 5:10; Phil. 2:10; Zech. 4:2-0). Ephesus wus the capltul of a province said to bo one of the richest In the Itoinan em pire. In It was the grent temple of Diana. Here Paul had labored nnd hud various experiences, and to Ephesus he hnd written n letter (See lesson 8, third quarter), but there were good things to be found lu this Ephesiun church (vv. 2..1). Forty years after be ing founded, John writes this message. He knew their "works," their general moral conduct, especially Its active and missive sides through Its trials, its dealing with ImiHistors and Its prac tical energy nnd enterprise; and Its pa tlenco (literally steadfast assurance) In bearing witness for Christ. Jesus knew of their never wearying eudur- ance. Surely these things would Indi cate pretty nearly a model churcn. Jesus says. "No. there Is something seriously wrong," so seriously wrong thut unless repented of lie wouiu re move them out of their place. II. Smyrna, the church with a crown of life (vv. 8-11). Smyrna was 40 or 50 miles from Kphcsus, and nt this time a city of 2o0,(HK) Inhiibltnnts. To this church the Son of Man (Ch. 1:11) sends nnother message. It Is Interest Inu to note that this church nnd the one at Philadelphia received from the Muster unuiialllled praise. It had works, activities; It also hnd tribula tions, riches and poverty (for thou art rich) rich In good works, rich towuni God, rich In treasures laid up in heaven: however. It was In the midst of persecution. It was here that Poly carp labored, who nfterward, ns bishop of Smyrna, wns martyred (see v. 10). Of Polycnrp It Is said thut rather tlmn save his life by renouncing Christ, he cried out. "Highly and six years have 1 served him, and he has done me no 111 ; how then can I blaspheme my king who hath saved me." The crown is eternal life, the crown of victory. The second death Is the final condemna tion which sinners undergo at the Judg ment sent of God. The first death Is, on the other hand, the natural one. There was great hardship Just ahead for this church. These hardships pa tiently and loyally endured would bring the crown mentioned. There are doubtless grent persecu tions Just nlieud for believers of tho present dny. but we should not Judge them but ruther rejoice lu them, since, patiently endured, they will bring to us a crown nnd a throue (Math, o au la; II Tim. 2:12). III. Peraamos. the church In a strong hold of faith (vv. 12-17). Our glorified Lord knew thnt the church In Pergamos wus In a necullurly difficult situation, that U was Satan's headquarters, his "throne" (v. 13) ; Hence tney were in psiieclal need of a defender nnd tho Lord Is represented ns "he thut hath n sharn. two-edged sword," the wora of God ( Heb. 4 :12-13 : John 5 :22). Per- gumos wns almost fifty miles north of Smyrna, a city of about 17,000 Inhabi tants, and the capital of the province, To It were broucht mnn of the early Christians who were compelled to sur fer martyrdom. Again we nave a church whose works are commended. whose steadfastness Is mentioned In thut they "held fast to my name, and not denied the fulth" martyrs (vv 13). However, dangers threatened them for there had been a compromise with the world nnd with other sys tems of fulth. whut we would call to day liberality In doctrine and breadth In view In teaching: (1) Some of their number had accepted nnd practiced the doctrine of Baullm (Jude 11; Num. 31-10). (2) These teachings cust a stumbling block before the children of Israel (v. 14). This was done by per suading the Israelites to join In the Idolatrous feasts and revellngs of the heathen, and nlso their Impurity of worship. (3) Sumo of them hud held to the teaching of the Nlcolaltans re ferred to under the admonition at F.phesus. These taught that the flesh had no part In the divine life, and might be recurded as something lu different ; In other words ethical per fection was in the spirit; the bouy might Indulge In whatever sins It saw lit. This kind of teaching the Ixrd Jesus hates. The one war of salvation was fot them to repent for tho Lord would raise up faithful and true prophet who would wield bis sword effectual ly against such monstrous forms of er ror, which were warring against the truth. -. Temperance 7 NUIO NEW ATHLETE. The following Is from an article Id Association Men, contributed by L. 0. llelmann, left tackle In the University of MIchlgau : The day of the "bottle- scarred" hero Is gone, and the new type of athlete Is taking his place. The first question the student body asks of a footbull hero Is: "Do you drink?" His pop. ulnrlty will hnng upon his general mnnner of living. All the best coaches nnd trainers In the country absolute ly forbid drinking of Intoxicants dur ing tho training season and keep a watchful eye on their men the yeur round. Tho first Infraction of the rule ngalnst drinking Is dealt with harsh ly by the coach und athletic directors. Tho second means unqualified dis missal from tho squad. This has becu found the only way to deal with such enses, for Coach "Hurry-Up" Yost says he has no time to wusto trying to train a drinker, nnd nothing tries a mun'fl staying powers like footbull. While the old type of athlete Is pnss- Ing out, tho "now athlete" Is coming In rnpldly nnd Is aligning himself In tho fight for dry territory. He Is typ ified by such men as Jack Wutson, captain of tho Illinois football team nnd president of the T. M. C. A.; "Cub" Buck, cnptnln of the Wisconsin football team nnd president of the Y. M. C. A.; Rutherford, the footbnll star and president of the University of Nebraska Y. M. C. A.; Mike Dorl zns, University of Pennsylvania, cham pion strong man of the East and all round nthlete; Hobson of Yale, Brick ley of Harvard, nnd hundreds of the foremost nthletcs of tho United Stntes. Such men are forming a Une of offense against booze nnd all forms of dissipa tion, because they know that no man cun combine drink and good playing. Eddie Collins, the White Sox star, says: "You can't bnt .300 If you bnt around all night," and one of his ten commandments to young athletes Is: "Don't drink alcoholic drinks." Con nie Hack, manager of the Philadel phia Athletics, said In 1010 of tho team which won the world's bnseball championship, that 15 of the 25 play ers "did not even know tho tnste of liquor," nnd predicted thnt In five years 00 per cent of all baseball play ers would be strictly temperate. 6AL00N AND WORKINGMAN. Saloon politicians nre the worst ene mies of the luborlng ninn's rights. They get plenty of money to buy free beer and whisky to debauch tho electo rate. They raise the cry of "personal liberty," nnd with solid saloon support, the honest worklugmnn has no show ngalnst them. The saloon fills workhouses and pen itentiaries with Its victims, and their labor Is brought Into competition with frco labor, to the Injury thereof. The saloon Is labor's worst enemy. The sooner working men realize the fact, tho better It will be for them. Tho corrupt politician thrives through the saloon and corrupt politicians nro bleeding this country to death, bring ing It down to conditions of older and less resourceful countries. The abol ishment of the saloons will not bring labor Immediately all that labor ought to have, but It will be the removing of the greatest obstacle to lubor's success The working people of the United States earned more money ench yenr for the distillery nnd brewery kings of America Hum was paid to all the kings and emperors of Europe. Working people are now asserting their rights and are freeing themselves from slavery to the Inhuman liquor truffle and the dominance of an aris tocracy of beer. John F.
