SOME WORRIES OF
A COUNTRY EDITOR
I. Jetui Crowned With Thorns (vv.
10-20).
After I’llute liutl scourged Jesus tie
delitered Him to tie crucified.
1. The crown of thorns (vv. 10, 17).
Kiiowltiu t!i:it Jesus had been con-
demned for claiming to lie Israel's
king they clothed llltn with purple and
crowned Him w ith a wreuth of thorns.
The crown of thorns typified the
curse which lie here for mans sin
(Gen. a:17. IS).
2. Their salutation tv. 18).
They said, “Hall. King of the Jews."
This they did In derision.
3. Their t«ock worship (vv. 10, 20).
They emote Him on the head with a
reed, taunted Him and went through
u performance of mock worship.
It. Jesus Crucified (\v. 21-41).
1. They ltd Him uway to the place
of crucifixion (vv. 21-23),
At fir*t they compelled Him to hear
Ills own cross, but when physical
weakness made this Impossible, they
compelled Simon, the Cyrenlan, to hear
Jt for Him. It Is beautiful to note
that the son of this Cyrenlan came to
believe on Jesus (ef. Korn. 16:13). In
ull probability Ids being compelled to
bear the cross was 'he means of Ids
own salvation.
Christ's face was so marked by the
thorns and cruel blows that “there
was no form or comeliness” (Isa. 53:2)
All this He endured for us. He drank
this hitter cup to its very dregs, hut
refused to drink ‘ the wine mingled
with myrrh,” wldeh would have dead-
ened Ills pain.
2. Gambling for the clothing of the
Lord (vv. 24. 23).
Having nailed Him to the cross they
gambled for the seamless robe under
the very cross on which He was dying
and in their heartless cruelty they sat
C ovn to watch Him die (Matt. 27:30).
3. The superscription (v. 20.
It was customary to place over the
victim on the cross the name and
crime of the offender. Though I’ilate
did this in mockery to vex the Jews,
the title was absolutely true. He was
Indeed their king.
4. Between two thieves (vv. 27. 2H).
This added lo His shame. His
Identification with the two robbers was
the fulfillment of the Scripture “and
he was numbered with the transgres-
sors” (Isa. 33:12).
5. The dying Savior reviled (vv.
20-32).
This reviling was engaged In by the
passer-by. the chief priests and the
thieves who were crucified with Him.
In this nameless agony and shame
they taunted Him by bidding Him
come down from the cross, derisively
saying. “He saved others, Hirnsei* lie
cannot save." lie could not save Him-
self nnd others, so He chose tc die
to save others.
6. Darkness upon the land (v. 33)
This was at noonday. So shocking
was ibis crime that nature threw
uround the Son of God a shroud to
hide Him from the gaze of a godless
company.
7 The cry from the cross (vv.
34-30).
When God laid upon Christ, His Be
loved Son. the world's sin and turned
His face from Him. there went out
the awful cry of anguish, “My God..
my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
8. He dismissed Ills spirit (v. 37).
When the price of our redemption
was fully pnld, Jesus dismissed His
spirit. No one took His life uway
from Him. He gave it up.
9. The rent veil (v. 38).
This symbolised the giving up of
Uls life (Heb. 10:20).
10. The Centurion’s confession
(r. 39).
He said, “Truly this man was the
Son Of God.”
11. The lingering group of women
(vv. 40, 41).
They who had lovingly ministered
I to Him In life were waiting to see
where they could bury His precious
body.
12. Jesus’ burial (vv, 42 47).
Loving hands now too* the precious
body and laid It In Joseph's new
tomb. This man, who did not consent
to the foul treatment of the Lord, now
risked his reputation and by Ills ac-
tion makes a hold confession of the
Lord.
Fear God
If we fenr God vj need never fear
the devil, for he Is a conquered foe.
Into Christ’s victory let ns enter by
faith, and In the boldness of the Lion
of the tribe of Judah we shall be cs
hold as a lion.—Marsh
Saintliness
Mo Christian man has any right to
attempt to create saintliness of char
iicfer by hiding himself from ibe ac-
tivities of every d.iy life.—0. Catnp-

I IN!'Hit the big uapie tree la Mrs.
Addy’s fruiii yard sat Mr*. Ad-
ly's hoarder. Eval.vn Byron, who wa*
i clerk dew o at the lumber mill neni

iud hud lived ter a long time with
Ur* Addy. who had been an old friend
:>f the girl's parents. Every Sunday

fishes were all wuthed and pat away.
Kvalyn came out uud sat on the rustic
Much under the maple, with a book or
etters to write. Sometimes Mrs. Addy
•at there, too, hut today some one
had taken her for a rtde Id a crowded
inolor ear and there was not even
room for one more.
“Sorry, Eval.vn, called out Mr. Pe-
ters, ns the widow squeezed Into the
tonneau. “Your turn next time!''
“don't bother ubout me. Mr. I’e-
ters," protested Evul.vu, as site waved
a gay farewell and returned to her
beach. But when the cur had vuu-
Ishcd mourn) a turn ol the country
road she did feel rather lonely. 'It is
lonely—Just us two, Isn't It, lVob?”
the asked the ulredale beside her.
1 lie dog cocked ns head ou Site
side und harked sharply. Then lie
Jumped down and ran frantically up
und down the yard, close to the fence.
"Funny how he docs that every time
1 mention his name!’’ murmured Eva-
lyn thoughtfully. “But he is the deal-
est tiling, and he’s ull uiy own—ud-
less some one comes uloug and claims
him."
Some one came whistling down ttie
path—a tall young man. bareheaded,
sun-hurued, athletic looking, with
clear-gray eyes und well-brushed
brown hair. Evulyn had seen him be-
fore—somewhere—it was an effort to
recall. Ue was a stranger In tiie vil-
lage.
The ulredale saw him at the same
moment, his ears lifted, nnd one
cocked forward expectantly.
“Bob!" warned Eval.vn, pulling out
a hand to stay his quivering body. Bui
she was too late; in (hut fraction ot
a second he had gained the fence in
two bounds and then sailed over the
harrier 'o fall in a scrambling heap at
Hie man's feet. Then tie found tils
balance and leaped and barked fran-
tically, scattering dust over ihe clothes
of the well-dressed stranger.
"Down you rascal!" laughed the
strungci. stooping to caress the dusty
gray hurricane. Then he lifted tils
eyes to IJvulyn's and smiled at her.
“Your dog?" asked the hatless one.
Eval.vn hesitated. Boh was In r dog,
by nil the laws of finding—and need-
ing !
She nodded.
•‘Oh!" he exclaimed sharply anJ
looked away.
"Why did you ask—and why are ron
surprised V"
"I beg your pardon—hut I though*
you were going to say, ‘No. ” lie
bent down, whispered something In
the dog’s ear. Then lie lifted Bob and
dropped him over the fence.
lie went on Ids way, while the girl
stared resentfully ufter him nn< the
dog crept close to the ground, follow-
ing Hie fence, whining softly.
Suddenly, Evelyn gave a little sob
blag cry and ran across the yard.
“flop!" she cried.
As if lie had been listening for that
call, he turned swlitly and leaped the
fence.
“You called me?" he asked eagerly.
The girls charming face dropped
Into tier hands. “It Is not my dog—1
wanted him so—1 found him In the
husties beside the bridge a month ago
—one of Ids paws was tiurt; I think
an automobile must have struck him.
I brought him home—here—and be-
cause 1 have no one who really be-
long'' to me. I adopted him. I tried to
find out his name—he wore no collar
—and I tried ever so many, hut when
I said ‘Bob’ he went wild. I believed
li was his name. That's nil!"
The man's eyes fell to the dog, wtio
was curled contentedly beside him.
"His name's ‘Sundy’—lie recognized
my name when you cnlled ‘Boh.'*’
upologlzed Sandy’s owner. “About a
month ago, I chained him up. I was
going to the city and couldn't take
him that day. When I got home I
learned he hud slipped his collar nnd
followed the car.”
Sundy was leaping now between ihe
man and the girl, torn between tw.i
loves. “Do you mind keeping hint s
while longer?" asked Bob Mason “1
will come after him later—It’s too bad
to tear him away so suddenly.”
Boh Mason, who turned out to oe a
stockholder In the lumber mill, living
In the adjoining town, came many
times to visit Sandy, though Mrs. Addy
declared the poor heastle played sec-
ond fiddle to Eval.vn. But late In the
full, when It was too cold to sit under
the maple. Bob told Evalyn that they
must reach a decision about the own
ershlp of Sandy.
She looked wistfully into the glow-
ing fire, while Bob adoringly regarded
her dainty profile. ’’Let Sundy
choose," she evaded, nnd when they
asked Sandy, that most Intelligent
alredale stood erect nnd placed one
paw on Evalyn’s hand and the other
on Bob’s knee.
“Just what 1 wns going to suggest,'

POULTRY FEEDING
QUITE IMPORTANT
For later profits, development of
pullets on range should he closely
watched uud >iii effort made to get
them to maximum size before they are
allowed to come into production, as-
serts L. M Black, extension specialist
In poultry liu*huudry at the New Jer-
sey State College of Agriculture, New
Brunswick. Undersized pullets, he
points out, require much more skillful
feeding to maintain steady produc-
tion, and they reward the owner only
with second grade eggs that are hard
to sell.
From the time their birds reach
twelve to fourteen weeks of age, it is
tte aim of the better poultry-men »<i
get them to consume, In so far ns pos-
sible, equal parts of much nnd scratch
grain. Where (Ids Is done It Is un-
necessary to dilute the mush with bran
or corn meal, according to Mr. Black.
Changing the formula of the mash Is
regarded by sum- poultry-men us a
foolish and dangerous practice. They
believe it is more simple to watch
closely the relative consumption of
scratch grain t<> mash and vary the
amounts fed to meet the changing re-
quirements of the birds.
Some flock owners place before tin-
birds enough of a mixture of equal
parts of scratch grain and mash t<>
last tlit* pullets until 2 or 3 p. m. In
the evening scratch gruln alone !c
given to bring about a heavy con-
sumption of It. Tills system of feed
Ing tends to hold hack the sexual de-
velopment of the Idrils and promotes
growth. Under it, Leghorn pullets
that are capable "f a year of hard
work should he ready to go into the
laying house when five to five nnd on*--
half months old.
Mr. Black states that nothing Is to
be gained from early hatching if tli"
pullets' that develop In August and
September are not placed in the houses
at that time. From then on u liitie
skill lu feeding with an eye especially
on t lie* maintenance of the body
weight will vviii-d olT a molt, und will
convince the < vvner of the value of
the early hutehed pullet.
Sell Broilers Closely
to Prevent Loss Later
The bottom usually drops out of the
broiler market before the first of July.
Usually It starts dowriwi rd quite rap-
idly after the middle of Juno, This
makes it profitable to sell all birds
that are ready for market. At this
season of the year it Is often possible
to get more for the young birds, even
though they do not weigh more than
two pounds, than they bring later In
the season after they have consumed
r large amount of feed.
Another advantage In selling the
broilers closely Is ihut the pullets need
room. If the broilers are sold the
pullets can utilize the room that was
occupied by the cockerels. This will
give them a better '-fiance to develop
Bullets that are crowded, thnt are con-
fined with the old birds, or that are
raised on contaminated ground are
working under a handicap. If a sep-
arate house Is available, such ns the
brooder house, this cun be pulled to
the edge of the orchard and he made
the headquarters for pullets. If n
mash hopper Is plentifully supplied
with a good mash ration and the pul-
let* are given plenty of fresh water,
mlriends and scratch feed. It Is likely
thnt they will develop Into good win-
ter layers.

(Norniangee Star.)
There are some things that hap-
i |t-n even in well regulated print
ing offices. You ladies who have
the daily meals to prepuce for the
family are in a position to appre-
ciate what we say. ‘ You know how
lots of times you long to cat some-
thing that somebody else has cook-
ed, and how your own cooking does
not appeal to appetite at all. Well
it is just that way here. After a
man has written ‘‘copy,’’ which
means the things that go into the
paper, has then read the proofs and
corrected errors, then has handled
every line of that same type put-
ting it into the forms ready for
printing, he gets so that he does not
want to look at it any more. We
will read the other man’s paper, but
usually we draw the line on the one
j we print ourselves.
Then it frequently happens that
just after everything is finished
and the paper is ready to put on
the press, one remembers a dozen
important items that have been
overlooked, and only but Igipcs that
no one else will notice the over-
sight. But it is just the luck to have
first word you hear after you have
mailed out the papers, “You never
| mentioned so and so in your paper
this week. Well I guess you do not
want to say anything about unim-
portant people like us, anyhow."
Yes, these things happen even in
the best of newspaper offices. A
daily can put in these overlooked
items next day, but a weekly has to
wait a week, und then they are too
old.
Another worry that sometimes
comes, is that you have nothing to
put in the paper. You have writ-
ten up every item you can think of.
you have tried to talk ubout every-
thing that you feel will give you
something to fill up with, and still
the printers are calling out “Copy.”
Copy means that the printer wants
some items to set in type, and you
know nothing to write about, and he
has nothing to put into type. A
paper has so much space to fill, and
it is its duty to fill that space with
what will be of interest to its read-
ers, and which the editor feels is
I proper to put in his columns. There
are just lots of things that any
paper leaves out, which might be
interesting, but are not proper to
print.
Then next week it may be that
the paper will have three times ns
much “copy” as it can print. We
frequently have, to hold over im-
portant items for lack of space.
Lots of times a paper fails to print
certain items, not because of any
objection, but because of lack of
spuce at the time, and because
when they can be printed they are
too old to use.
Yes, a newspaper man has his
worries, just the same as other
foi: s. If vou good ladies are al-
ways satisfied with the meals you
prepare for your family every day,
a- d never feel that you have over-
; looked something, then you are in
: a position to poke fun at the news-
paper man who does have worries.

The Legacy of A Name.
J. Ogden Arirttur left, when he
died $23,009,000 in debts and a
| name. Assets seem to have cover-
led only about $13,000,000 of this
amount, but the remaining $10,-
900,000 wun still owing when death
came and tapped him on the shoul-
; tier. The Armour name, however,
was as good as gold. And the two
women who bore It brought from
their own fortune, set up in the
days of prosperity, cash securitieu
enough to pay off the $10,000,000.
They didn’t have to do it. No-
body could have forced them to.
But wearing the name of Armour
was worth $10,000,000 to them,
and they paid the price without a
murmur, of their own free will. No
monument could be more appro-
priate to the memory of the dead
or more eloquent of the love of the
living. And in contributing to the
maintenance of the Armour name
in all its integrity and honesty
these two women have contributed
also to a trend for honesty and up-
rightness in American life. And
the measure of the gift it» far larger
than the great sum which they will-
ingly released.
The Armour legacy wgs not un-
worthy. But the legatee* have
made it glorious.—Dallas News.
CAPITOL OF MISSOURI WAS
ONCE IN MARSHALL, TEXAS
Even among Texans, there are few
who know that the capital of Mis-
souri once was maintained for a
period of two years in the Lone
Star State. Such, however, is a
fact, which is attested to by E.
Key, president of the First Nation-
al Bank of Marshall, whose moth-
er's home in that city Governor Rey-
nolds, the secessionist executive of
Missouri, occupied with his staff
as the gubernatorial mansion.
The war between the States was
responsible for the exodus of the
Missouri governor and his staff into
Texas. Anticipating that his State
eventually would enter the family
fold of the Confederacy, Governor
Reynolds, who wns of this govern-
mental persuasion, in 1862 fled the
State before advancing Federal
troops, bringing with him the offi-
cial family, Missouri remained in
the Union and another (Jovernor
wus placed in its chair, the acts of
Governor Reynolds subsequently
were declared null and void; but this
does not mitigate the fact that the
fugitive Governor was the duly
elected chief executive of his State,
and that his orders, decrees and
proclamations from Marshall bore
the stamp of authority.
Mr. Key, who was then a lad of
ten years, recalls that his mother,
Mrs. Mary Key, was not then occu-
pying the family home on the south-
west corner of Bolivar and Crock-
ett streets; and arrangements were
made to domicile Governor Reynolds
and his staff in the Key home.
Executive officers were establish-
ed in a house directly across the
street owned by Judge Asa Wil-
lie, a member of the Supreme Court
of Texas, who had recently moved
to Galveston. In this temporary
capitol the governor’s office and
the various departments of state
were maintained, until the close of
war ended Governor Reynolds’
residence in the Lone Star State.
The so-called governor’s man-
sion and the equally disputable
capitol then were returned to their
owners by the Confederacy, which
had borne the expenses of mainten-
ance.
Both of these historic houses, in
the old exclusive residential section
of Marshall, still are in fine state of
preservation, and at present occu-
pied. Mrs. Dudley Crawford, a
relative of Mr. Keys, lives in the
one time gubernatorial mansion,
and the house formerly occupied by
the Missouri Governor’s executive
offices has been for a number of
years the home of Miss Lucretia
Hill.—East Texas Magazine.

The Awful Truth.
Thumb sucking does look sweet in
a baby, but it is disgusting in the
three-year-old and sometimes it
hangs on until fifteen or siyteen!
The habit may cause an ill-formed
mouth or induce adenoids; and it
always interferes with digestion,
pinning the sleeve over the hand;
attaching mittens, or putting on
cardboard cuffs, which . prevent
bending the arms at the elbows, are
some of the ways to stop the habit.
Another bad habit—irregularity
in bowel action—is responsible for
the weak bowels and constipation
in babies. Give the tiny bowels an
'pportunity to act at regular per-
iods each day. If they don’t act
at first, a little Fletcher’s Castoria
