THE COOKY MOON.
The cooky moon hangs in the evening
sky,
‘All sugary, round and sweet;
suppose it was hung way up so high
So no one would get it to eat;
But still there's a way to get a bite
For good little girls and boys
If only they go to sleep at night
Without any fuss or noise.
So close one peeper and shut one eye
So that we'll reach it soon.
‘All the babies from By-lo-by,
All the darlings of Drowsy-eye,
rom Nap-on-a-Lap and Sleepy-sigh,
On pillows of ak piled high, so high,
To come to the cooky moon.
hem it is gone, why the Moon man
¢ es us another one;
‘And it’s always bright on the days he bakes,
For he cooks it in the sun.
‘And then, when it’s sugary, shiny bright,
The good little children come,
And they eat the cooky man bite by bite
And every star is_a erumb.
So close one peeper and shut one eye
So that well reach it soon.
All the babies from By-lo-by,
All the darlings of Drowsy-eye,
From Nap-on-a-Lap and_Sleepy-sigh,
On pillows of Toa piled high, so high,
To come to the cooky moon.

| RUNAWAY SLAVE: A TALE
OF ANCIENT ROME
The full moon shone brightly upon
the streets of Rome; the cool breeze
invited many to leave their close
apartments and come out for a breath
of fresh air. The streets and broad
plazas were gay with the multitudes,
whose varied costumes, speech and
complexion showed that they came
from every land.
Presently a youth in Syrian cos-
tume turned the corner of an alley
and began to drift aimlessly with
the crowds. Though strong of limb
and supple in body, yet the dejected
look on his handsome face showed
that health of body does not always
give quiet of mind. The elation of
youth was lacking; he seemed to
feel himself on the losing side in the
battle of life.
Among the bable of sounds, just
then his ear caught words in his own
tongue. A middle-aged man and
woman passed him, the man telling
her something most earnestly; a mo-
ment more and he began to sing
gently. To the surprise of the now
eagerly listening youth, the song
proved to be a Christian hymn which
he remembered having heard. In-
stantly the scenes of his past life
flashed over his mind and he seemed
to gain fresh strength and hope from
the recall. Following these new
friends till convinced that they were
Christians, he ventured to address
them in their cwn tongue:
“Pardon me, friends, but would
you be kind enough to help a fellow-
countryman? I have but lately come
to Rome, and though I have sought
earnestly for work, there seems to be
no place for me. My money is near-
ly all gone, and if I do not soon find
some honest wav to live, my case will
be desperate.”
“Ah, who are you and where do
you come from?”
“That is a long story, but I am
from the Taurus Mountains in Cappa-
docia, the same region from which
you evidently come, and I am an
honest man in search of work.’
“Poor boy,” said the woman. “You
are very young to be so far from
home and so adrift in the world.
Where is your mother?”
“Dead, madam, and my father also.
They were murdered by a band of
mountain robbers,’”” and the boy had
a struggle to repress a sob.
“Ah. well, we must not keep you
standing here. We are on our way
to a Christian service; would you
mind going with us?”
“1 should be most happy to go
with you.”
“Are you a Christian?”
“No, I know very little about the
sect, but I threw away a good oppor-
tunity to learn it, which I now re-
gret, for what I then saw makes me
believe it more’ than mere supersti-
tion, and in my present friendless
state, I think it might tend to give
me strength and courage.”
Such frank questioning and reply
drew them together and by the time
the place of meeting was reached,
they seemed like old friends. Sit-
ting down among the waiting people.
the quiet calm of the place seemed
to bring peace to his spirit. And
when the aged preacher stood up,
the tones of his voice thrilled the
youth like noble music. Though his
stature was small and his silvery
locks and bronzed face revealed much
hardship, vet the clear light in his
eye and the warm glow of his mes-
sage, made the hearers forget all
thought of weakness of his body.
The Syrian youth seemed to drink in
the words of the Gospel with eager
ears; so deeply was he impressed
that he asked for more instruction
at the end of the service. His new
friends introduced him to several,
and presently to the great preacher
himself; they told of his desire for
the truth, and also of his life-story
as far as they knew it.
The aged man listened kindly,
asked a few questions, and then lay-
ing a gentle hand on the youth, said,
“I think it is the wish of our Master
that you come and abide with me for
the present. My friend, Luke, the
beloved physician, has been taking
care of me, but of late he is so occu-
pied with the Gospel message that
I should not take his time for my
bodily wants. If you will make
your home with me, you can assist
my waning strength much, and I will
gladly tell you of our blessed Lord
and the salvation through Him.” So
it came about that young Onesimus
—for that was his name— taken
ha
into the home of the gr
to the Gentiles, and was spe
charged with caring for his bodily
needs. Willingly did he perform even
the menial s ice; for he
loved and revered X aster. And
that master in turn took the hand-
some, gentle youth to his very heart,
most
giving him a love next to that toward

serve. One day after a long conver-
sation concerning the things of the
Kingdom of Heaven, the master,
looking earnestly at the youth, said:
“Tell me more fully your life-
story, Onesimus; your up-bringing
was not plebian; that is quite clear.”
“No, master it was not. The most
of my life has been spent in comfort.
My father was the wealthiest man in
the village where we lived; our home
was luxurious for that region, and
my education was the best that could
be obtained.”
“Yes, your speech shows that, and
your hands are not yet hardened by
toil. But how did you drift so far
from that happy home?”
“Assuredly it was not of my own
chosing, but as you perhaps have
learned, that home was broken up
and destroyed by a roving band of
robbers. When they attacked the
town, my - father led the villagers,
who tried to resist them, but he and
most of his company were slain. The
invaders swept down upon us and
came straight to our home. My
mother was ruthlessly cut down as
she sought to protect my only sis-
ter; the home was robbed of every-
thing valuable, then burned; my sis-
ter and I were bound and carried off
to be sold as slaves, and since that
awful day I have never seen her. The
robbers carried me blindfolded to
their mountain stronghold where I
suffered great bodily hardship and
intense anguish of spirit. After
many months, one day I was hastily
summoned, blindfolded and present-
ly handed over to a passing caravan
God in it so that I was led to you?”
“Yes, truly it was the goodness of
God which led you to us; but, my
son, your own heart tells you that
the taking of that gold was wrong
—it was, in fact, a theft. And as to
the question of your bondage; true,
God is our Father, and He would
have all men to be brethren; if the
Spirit of Jesus ruled: in the hearts
of men, all slavery and oppression
would disappear. This is our hope
and prayer, but to accomplish it, we
must employ peaceful means; in
meekness and humility, we must in-
struct men, and until they become
willing of themselves to act out the
mind of the Master, we His servants
must carefully obey the laws. By
no means must we use violence in
order to cause violence to cease
among others, for thereby we our-
selves should become breakers of the
law. We must be subject to rulers,
and servants must obey their masters
in the flesh, working heartily as unto
the Lord and not unto men. He that
doeth wrong, whether servant or mas-
ter, shall receive again for the wrong
he hath done, for there is no respect
of persons with God. My son, 1
know it is hard, but you must re-
turn.”
“What! Leave you! Leave my
newly obtained freedom of body and
spirit, and return to slavery? And
what about the gold?”
“It is hard for me also, for as you
know, I have learned to love you as
my own child; and, too, I need your
help. But your Juty is clear; you
must return to your master and serve
him till the Lord gives you honorable
permission to have your liberty.”
“As for the gold, I will assume
that debt myself. Just at this time
I am engaged in writing a letter to
the church at Colossae which Tychi-
cus is to bear to them. You shall go
with him, and by you I will send a
special letter to my old friend, your
master, and I am well assured he
will gladly receive you in my stead
and do for you more than I shall
ask of him. Yes, my dear son, 1
grieve to part with you, but it must
be done.”
And so it came to pass that not
many days thereafter the messengers
received the precious letters, said a
touching farewell to the revered
teacher with whom another meeting
in the flesh was most doubtfwii, and
set their faces to the rising sur. Of
their reception by the church at Co-
lossae and of the subsequent treat-
ment which Onesimus received at the
hands of his former master, the re-

Very soon I was purchased and taken
to the home of 2 wealthy man named
Philemon.”
“Ah! Where was he from?
he a Christian?”
“He had not lived long in Co-
lossae, and I think he came from
Ephesus, but am not certain. Yes,
he was a good man, and his kind
treatment of me was the first thing
that impressed me with the idea that
his religion was good.”
“The very same! Did he have a
grown son? And was his wife
named Apphia?*
“You seem to know his family.
He has a grown son named Archip-
pus, who is also. like the parents, an
active Christian worker.”
“Most assuredly I know that fam-
ily, seeing 1 baptized both the par-
ents and the infant son, but I have
not seen them for years. The pas-
tor of that church, Epaphras. is my
fellow-prisoner nere at Rome and he
has told me many things about the
church there which Philomen helped
him to found. The young man, Ar-
chippus, is now acting-pastor during
the absence of Epaphras. And so
you were in the home of my friend,
Philemon? But tell me, how did you
come here if you were his servant?
I fear you took matters into your
own hands and fled?”
“Yes, that is exactly the case, but
surely you do not think I did wrong
in escaping from slavery, do you?
True. my master was a kind man,
and now as I look back upon it all,
it may be that he was planning to in-
struct me in the Gospel; for he al-
ways tried to have me in to the ser-
vices with the other servants. But

imagine with almost a certainty what
did happen The kindly Philemon
gave the youth a cordial welcome, for
his own sake, for from the begin-
ning he had planned generous things
for the poor captive, But when he
heard his story and read the letter
sent by his hand from the great
teacher who had led him to Jesus,
all hesitation vanished; his plans
ripened at once and on the spot he
told Onesimus he was free.
Not only was he free, but taking
him by the hand and leading him to
an inner apartment, he called a
young girl and presented her to One-
simus. With astonishment the two
gazed a moment at each other, and
then with joy unutterable they sprang
to embrace; for the girl was the sis-

Marvelous Accuracy Shown in Coast
Artillery Practice.
One hundred per cent. target rec-
ords recently have been made by
three-inch rifles in the coast artillery
corps. The Nineteenth Company, at
Battery McDonough, with three-inch
rifles at Fort Caswell, N. C., vn May
23, made 10 hits out of 10 shots fired
at a material target ‘10 feet high by
24 feet long, moving five miles an
hour at a mean range of 1,600 yards.
The series of 10 shots was fired in
38 seconds. This is the first report
received by General Murray, chief of
artillery, showing 100 per cent. for
a three-inch battery.
A second performance of this kind
took place at Battery Lord, Fort
Moultrie, S. C., when the Sixteenth
Company of the Coast Artillery Corps
on June 1 made 10 hits out of 10
shots fired at a target moving at the
rate of nine miles an hour at a mean
range of 1,230 yards, the shots being
fired in 36 seconds.
Predigal of Life.
The kind of Fourth of July which
this country has been cursed with for
years is an economic crime. It is
destructive of human life. It sends
to untimely graves children and adults
who will be or who already are pro-
ducers. Killing them off by tetanus
| 1s a costly and painful method of ob-
serving a national holiday. It is as
much a waste of national resources
as the reckless drafts on the resources
of the mines and the forests. The
community goes to the expense of
rearing children to be the workers of
the future, only that they may figure
in some Fourth of July death roll.—

and my thoughts were often confused.
“My wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. I tried
many times to do so, but was its
slave.
“Finally wife bought a package of
Postum and persuaded me to try it,
but she made it same as ordinary
coffee and I was disgusted with the
taste. (I make this emphatic be-
cause I fear many others have had the
same experience.) She was distressed
at her failure and we carefully read
the directions, made it right, boiled it
full 15 minutes after boiling com-
menced, and with good cream and
sugar, I liked it—it invigorated and
seemed to nourish me.
“That was about a year ago. Now
I have no headaches, am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my hand steady.
I have gained 20 Ibs. and feel I am a
new man.
“I do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. Of course dropping coffee
was the main thing,but I had dropped
it before, using chocolate, eocoa and
other things to no purpose.
“Postum not only: seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is no
Imaginary tale. It can be substantiat-
ed by my wife and her sister, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 70.
“I write this for the information
and encouragement of others, and
with a feeling of gratitude to the in-
ventor of Postum.”
