Theso nro tie words of Jesus. They
are distinguished by their Impressive
aoverlty. There are always peoplo
who aro per verse and discontented,
and who tako no Interest in theso
words, nnd arts In the nablt of reject
ing them as absolutely Inconsistent
with their Idea of a Christian life.
You and I are the children of the
twentieth oentury; that Is to say,
we are an easy-going, pleasure-loTlng
generation, and we receive these
words, for the most part, If we re
ceive them at all, with an Inner pre
judice and a definite lrrellglon. They
carry with them a message that pro
vokes a challenge from our twentieth
century civilization; they seem to set
forth a reflection on the world from
the point of view of the new Idea, as
against the admirable old Idea of a
past generation, the deeply rooted In
stitution of human nature. It is no
wonder that men balk at this idea,
when It seemB to be out of harmony
with present day twentieth century
life.
Stones don't roll up hill. They al
ways take the easy path of rolling
down hill; a shot does not leave the
gun by the butt end, but goes right
out at the mouth of the barrel. It
takes the way of easiest resistance. Bo
the Scripture tells us to follow the
straight path which leadeth to glory.
Some Christians never reach the
greatest happiness, because they al
ways follow the lines of least resist
ance the lines of no resistance.
They are living what they think Is the
perfect life. Is not that the rule of
all human development; the survival
of the fittest The strong man domi
nates the weak man, and he must
give In.
Read your history and see the na
tions and the men who have fallen
because they have followed the paths
of least resistance; see where they
have ended. . - -
On the other hand, see the men
who have succeeded because they fol
lowed the straight and narrow path,
See our modern commercial life, with
Its one code of eithlcs for the multi
millionaire and another code of ethics
for the poorer man for you and for
me. You can see It in our commercial
life to-day, wherever we see men get
ting together enormous amounts of
money; wherever you see men put
ting pleasure before principle, desire
before Justice, conquest before char
ncter, self before one's neighbors, the
things of the world before the glory
of God.
Whenever you find these things and
find men following the easy path, you
find that they come to destruction.
They have come to the end they set
out to reach. On the other hand
true progress has come only when
men hnvo been willing to travel along
the straight and narrow path. What
la the thing that sustains society
to-day? It Is the thing wo call home.
'The home Is simply a group of peo
ple who have made up their minds to
lead the straight life. Here the In
dividual member sacrifices all for the
sake of the group. The father sacrl
flceB himself for his children. Wher
ever you see a home where there Is
discord, there you will see a broken
home, a disrupted home, one that ends
In divorce; one In which the children
are moral bankrupts.
That Is the whole foundation of our
society; that Is where we do good to
the greatest number; when men agree
to walk In the straight and narrow
path under any government whether
It be that of a Republic or a monaro.
Instead of the easy -path principle,
along the lines of least resistance,
there you have a sturdy people. When
men endeavor to set forth their own
Ideas of government Independent of
-other men, such government Is not
government at all; It sometimes
means anarchy.
Why do we build our hospitals to
day! Because we bellevo In the now
Christian civilization, wny do we
take care of our old people In homes
for the aged and the sick Instead of
getting rid of them as thoy did in
Sparta of old, by killing them? Do-
cause we are a civilized people. 'Why
do we have reformatories now Instead
of prison. Because we novo learned
that by simply turning a key on a
man and locking him up apart from
hla fellow-man, we destroy him and
he destroys us. We do It for our own
property's safety and for the reform

SAVED BY A TRICK
I wns the only Amerlcnn of my time
nt the University of Bonn who Joined
tho dueling corps, in the corpo wns
young Baron Stelger, who was cousld
ered the boat swordsman nt the uni
versity.
Toward the end of the term I had
tho good luck to bo pitted against
Baron Stelger when lie had been drink
ing and got tho better of him. Tuls
gavo mo some renown nnd made Stel
ger my bitter enemy.
I did not touch a sword again during
my stay nt tho university, nnd nfter
tnklng my degree I went to Vienna to
sec a little of life at that capital. I
bad letters to somo of the best people
there, nnd my associates were almost
exclusively Austrian or German. One
evening nfter attending tho opcrn with
a party of ladles and gentlemen I In
vited them to stop with me nt a cafe.
Whllo we were there who should come,
In but Baron Stelger. Ho passed closo
to me, not speaking to me, but glaring
at me, and as ho walked behind my
chair he purposely run against It I
was at tho moment raising a glass of
wlno to my Hps, and n part of tho wluo
was spilled on my shirt front. I was
nngry and, acting on a foolish but nat
ural Impulse, threw what remained In
the glass In his face.
Tho moment I had done so I realized
that I had likely signed my own death
warrant Stelger would undoubtedly
challenge me, nnd ns I hnd not touched
a sword in two years nnd ho had be
come famous In Its use as well as a
merciless opponent1! must either show
the white feather and bo disgraced
nmong my Vienna friends or die.
Stelger apologized for touching my
chair, declaring that It was uninten
tional, nnd, raising his hat politely.
passed on. Not one of my friends but
understood what would follow, and the
party broke up Immediately. I went
to my apartments with a young Dr.
Koch, with whom I was very intimate.
The challenge came beforo we sepa
rated, and I confess I was thrown Into
a serious mental condition. Since leav
ing the university Stelger had fought
a do7,en or moro duels nnd hnd never
spared his man. Dr. Koch told me to
think no more about the matter or I
would unfit myself to take advantage
of what slight chance there was for
me; that he had saved a friend of his
once under similar circumstances and
he would try his plan with me. I
placed my case In his hands, turned In
nnd after an hour or so fell asleep.
The next evening nfter dark Dr.
Koch came to me and told me that he
had arranged everything nnd If I would
keep my head all would go well with
me. I as the challenged party had the
right to choose tho weapons and the
time and place of tho meeting. Acting
for me, Dr. Koch had chosen swords
In n dark room. The duel was to take
place Immediately in a room of a third
party. Without giving me time to
dwell on these horrible conditions Dr.
Koch hurried mo to tho meeting place,
but before entering the rooms in ques
tion he took me to another where a
gentleman was waiting, to whom I was
introduced "Dr. Selferth, tho most
noted oculist In Europe." The two
doctors at once began to pnlnt my eyes
with n camel's hair brush that hnd
been dipped In some liquid. As soou
ns they had finished a bandage was
clapped over my eyes nnd kept there
for some twenty minutes, when It was
taken off, and wo went Immediately to
rooms In the same building where the
meeting was to tnko place. A few mo
ments later Stelger and I were thrust
Into tho dark room, and the door was
closed nnd locked.
Now, It Is Impossible to exclude per
fectly either light or heat from any
npartinent One might ns well attempt
to form n perfect vacuum. Scientifi
cally sieaklng, there Is no such thing as
a perfect absence of everything from
any given space. Tho treatment of the
physicians had enabled me to take ad
vantage of what light there was In the
room, nearly all of which came through
an Imperfectly fitted door, under which
there wns a strip unprotected. Be this
ns It may, I could distinguish the prin
cipal objects In the room, Including my
enemy. I could not make out his ex
pression, but his figure was quite per
ceptible, especially his face aud hands,
which were lighter than tho rest. He
remained perfectly quiet for awhile
when I moved, and, hearing tho creak
lng of my boots, he came toward me.
I glided away, this time without mak
ing any sound, and in another moment
gavo him a cut on tho haud which
forced him to drop his sword. Before
ho could recover It I pricked b'.m from
the other Bide, which drew him from
where tho sword hnd fallen, and then
I took It up myself.
"Baron," I said, "you aro at my mer
cy. I have your sword."
"Finish the murder. That's what It
la. It certainly is not dueling."
"I bavo no uso for your life. I give
it to you. nelloP
The door was opened, and tho party
in the adjoining room entered. I bad
given Stolger an ugly cut on tho band
nnd a slight wound in tho fleshy part
of his bock. These tho doctors dressed.
Stelger Insisted on a renewal of tho
combat nndt'1 circumstances that
would enablo him to tako his revenge,
but my seconds declared that I would
not be permitted to fight longer except
In the dark room, whereupon Stelger
sulkily declared himself satisfied, and
tho party dispersed.
As soon as I was alone with the two
doctors they charged me, both on my
own accouat and theirs, to keep their
part In the matter a secret, since if it
became known they would be mined
socially and profeawoaally. I had no
desire to publish it

The one drawback of the visiting
hairdresser Is that many of tho appli
ances In use in a first class establish
ment are wanting.
Chief among theso appliances Is a
shampoo oonrd. Thcro are various
kinds, but most of them aro of metal
with a curved space for tho back of
the neck and grooves on which the
hair Is laid and from which tho water
runs Into the stationary basin.
With tho use of ono of theso boards
tho fatigue of leaning over a wash
stand for a hnlf hour while the hair
Is washed and rinsed Is done away
with. One can sit comfortably In a
chair with tho neck resting on the
bonrd and the hair spread over It
Tho stout woman who objects to
stooping or any ono with weakness of
heart and shortness of breath likes
the board, which can be screwed to
any washstnnd. It Is restful and lends
added benefit to the ecalp treatments.
To Keep Young.
The little unnoticed strains are the
ones which tell.
Women should not stand any more
than necessary. If they would only
remember to sit down whenever they
have tho chanco It would add years to
their llvc.
For Instance, It Is not necessary to
stand so much while doing housework.
Sit down and read while you aro wait
ing for tho food to cook. Never pare
apples or shell peas standing.
Even Ironing may be dono in a sit
ting position If tho chair Is high
enough nud has no arms.
Learn to take a few minutes' rest
after each exertion, and this apparent
loss of time will bo to your gain In
the long run.
The woman who Is on her feet con
tinually Is the one who wears herself
out and does poor work In the bar
gain. It Is not lazy to save yourself. It Is
only wise.
Rules of Sleep.
Those who think most, who do most
brain work, require most sleep, and
time "saved" from necessary sleep Is
Infallibly destructive of mind, body
and estate. Give yourself, your chil
dren, your servnnts give all that are
under you the fullest amount of sleep
they will tako by compelling them to
go to bed nt some regular early hour
and rise In the morning the moment
they nwako and within a fortnight na
ture, with almost tho regularity of the
rising sun, will unloose tho bonds of
sleep the moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants of tho sys
tem. This Is tho only safe nnd sufficient
rule, and as to the question how much
sleep any one requires each must be a
rule for himself. Great nature will
never fall to write it out to the ob-
server under tho regulations Just giv

The Latest Massage.
Instead of using hot cloths or steam
to gut the face Into condition for mas
saging, tho Intest Idea Is to use water
charged with electricity.
This water Is applied through a
sponge-Ilk? substance at the end of
two tubes attached to an electric wire
or battery. The Instrument Is so con
structed that surplus moisture Is car
ried off In one of the pipes.
The advocates ot this method say
there Is uo dnnger of too much relax
ing of the muscles, as Is tho case with
steam, and the heat is so regulated
that there is no danger of scalding the
skin, ns with hot cloths.
Restoring the Color of Teeth.
Dissolve two ounces of borax In
three pints of water. Before quite cold
add thereto one tcaspoonful of tinc
ture of myrrh and one tablespoonful ot
spirits of cuiuphor. Bottle and mix for
uso. One wineglass of the solution
added to half a pint of tepid water Is
sufficient for each application. This
solution applied daily preserves and
beautifies the teeth, extirpates tartar
ous adhesion, produces a pearl-like
whiteness, arrests decay and Induces a
healthy action In the gums.
The Roughened Sewing Finger.
Tho bane of the average sewer or
embroiderer Is tho roughened first fin
ger. This Is particularly trying when
one Is embroidering silks, which catch
and roughen easily. To keep tho hands
In good condition wash them care
fully bcfoio beginning work and rub
off all roughness with a fine pumice
stone. Then wash with a little acetic
acid, which can bo bought at any
drug store. If this Is not at band a
good cider vinegar answers the same
purpose almost as welt
The Mouth,
Perhaps you bare never considered
the fact that tho voice tuts an influence
upon the mouth. When a woman
speaks habitually In a loud voice her
Upa will become ugly. Watch your
self In tho, glass when yoa speak and
you win notice that hard, rough lines
come round your mouth when yoa
speak loudly. Now, by speaking gen
tly these lines will be replaced by soft,
pretty curves.

"SEND ME BACK TO MINORS"
So Requested Dlackburne, $8,500 Short

Russell Blackburne, the Chicago
Americans' young shortstop, for whom
President Charles Comlskey paid
$8,500 last fall, yearns to go back to
the minor leagues. Blackburne asked
to be returned to the Eastern league,
but his request was refused, Comlskey
considering him too good n baseball
player to loso at the present time.
With only three years' experience In
baseball and only a few months' play
with a major league team, Blackburne
feels that he cau be of greater service
to tho Whlto Sox ultimately by play
ing tho remainder of the season with
n minor league team, where ho will be
kept In tho game constantly. lie wants
to help the White Sox, he says, and
believes he can make more rapid
strides nud bo of greater service to
the team by a little more experience
with the minors.
Blackburne came to the White Sox
nt the beginning of the present season
from the Providence team of tho East
ern league. He was a distinct sensa
tion on that club, fielding In n phe
nomenal manner and batting at a good
average. Since coming to the White
Sox Blackburne has had a checkered
career of successes and reverses.
