LABOR BRINGS ITS a t'
OWN REWARD
• BY ELEANOR C, KENYON
'5 'a ;i :4 ai as ill 4' 4' ;I: I'
Eloise• T.--,eageriy scanned the
morning paper. At last her face ligl:t-
ed and an amused look swept across
the piquant face.
"Mother will be terribly allay when
she knows, but 1 cannot allow family
pride 10 stand in my way. 1-1ere ave'
are, practically penniless, ,Ind just be-.
cause we hear the name of T ---we
must uphold it by never doing any
manual labor. "1 am very sorry that
'my dear ancestors could not leave any-
thing more substantial than a name and.
a few raulshackle old buildings that
would take a small fortune to rehab -
dilate•"
Mrs. T—, Eloise's mother,. through
the courtesy of a friend, lead been visit-
ing at the shore, and Eloise had work-
ed wonders in the old home.
The house, very spacious, with its
wonderfully roomy piazza, was situated
in the heart of the country, it was a
most ideal location for convalescents,
and -to -Eloise it meant independence,
Ralph, Eloise's brother, had enlisted
at the first call to service, His let-
ters, which cane regularly, filled his
sister with a great amount of patriot-
ism. Realizing her poverty and inabil-
ity to do what she would like to for
her country,,slie conceived the idea of
utilizing the one-time mansion for a
rest !tome, and, although it meant a
great amount of labor and expense in
the beginning, she knew that by hard
work her efforts would be rewarded,
The (house had to be gone over and
made as clean as soap and water could
accomplish. Many of the rooms had
been newly papered, nice, clean cur-
tains hung from the windows, and it
was with keen delight that Eloise sur-
veyed the surroundings.
• Placing a well -worded advertisement
in the paper, she now awaited some ap-
plicants. Several days went by, and at
last her efforts were rewarded by re-
ceiving a generous supply of mall.
Each letter she carefully answered.
"1 never dreamed that there were so
many people suffering in this World, as
these letters denote" thought (liaise as
every day brought her more mai,
"Why child! what have you been do.
in? 1 hardly knew the place," said
Mrs. T— as she gazed at the improve-
ments which, had been accomplished.
"Now, mother dear, you must not be
angry,". and gently leading her from
room to room she unfolded her
scheme. "No dear, 1 cannot bear it,
to , think a t"—but her daughters'
arms were around her and kissing the
lips that would speak in protest.
Eloise pressed into her mother's hands
the precious supply of mail she had
received.
"Now, mother, 1 am tired of being a
dependent and existing on the meager
amount left us by our kinsmen. Just
see all the good we can do if we can
make a success of It—and I don't mean
to fail, mother dear. Talk about slack-
ers, 1 have felt like one and know 1
would be one if i did not do my duty."
Mrs. T—telt a thrill of pride :ts she
listened to her daughter's outburst, but
it took some time and some persuasion
to recoincile her to the fact that a T—
would degrade herself by doing manual
tabor.
"Hector is to help, which will make
the work so much easier. Mary will
'do'the cooking and-Rebewill do the
errands." '
Eloise and her mother spent the en-
tire evening answering the numerous
letters. . "Some we shall never hear
from, as they will think the price exor-
bitant, but 1 would touch prefer a few
at .a good price,'.' declared Eloise.
The days passed rapidly. The guests
were delighted and were loud in their
praise of the benefits derived. Eloise
was fairly bubbling over with joy at
the success of her undertaking,
A blue -coated messenger boy darted
up the steps, and as Eloise receeived
the. telegram her hands fairly shook.

Eloise as she hurtled to tell her mot-
her in preparation of her trip to nhtibt
her guests, Rebe harnessed old Dick,
and they were soon on their way.
"1 hope "us" is Inst. old and "cross,"
laughed Eloise. • "Possibly he is

But the passengers were alighting,
and Eloise's attention was attracted to
a rather elderly elan helping from the
ear a young man dressed in the uni-
form of a soldier, She .noted fat„ once
the solicitious care givdii to the young-

It, first made Paderewski a victim of
hysteria now it causes surprise that
he could be anything else than 1
pianist, When he first cone to the
United States, says the New York
Sun, had he "patronized the hotel
barber on his arrival, and subse-
quently affected by most Americans,
we should not hear now so many ex-
clamations of surprise over his de-
velopment in statesmanship." The
case is analyzed, but the people will
hardly profit:
"The fact that he was an unap-
proachable master of the pianoforte
would not have ' dislocated the popu-
lar bump of understanding; that a
musician may be versed in politics is
not hidden even from the low -brows.

frequently pointless witticisms: So
he became known to millons as a
strange, rather freakish individual
first, as a pianist afterwards; and
the enthusiasm his performances
aroused added to his unwelcome fame.
Paderewski was mobbed; women
stormed the stage at his recitals; a
glimpse of him on his way from the
hall' was accounted a high distinc ion;
his devotees lined his path, intercepted
him in has hurried exit. Tales of
over wrought maids and matrons en-
deavoring to kiss him—and sonhetirnes

Paderewski—the man who is now
guiding Poland in its re -habilitation
is not different from the plan we
knew of a quarter a century ago

a genius of industry, a level-headet,
business man, a patriot longing fob'

him no feeling of coinceit or grati-

In Mebrows, chapters 1-10 the
'grounds of faith are (:!early set forth,
In this 155800 its nature and glorious
triumphs are displayed.
L The Nature of Faith (1.1.:1.3).
1. Faith Is the eye of the soul, en-
abling It to see the invisible (v. 1).
It 15 not merely intellectual assent to
that which commends itself as being
reasonable, but it is the soul's attitude
toward God.
2. Faith seizes the tiltegs of the
future and lives and walks In their
power In the present (v. 1).
3. It enabled the "elders" to obtain
a good report (v. 2). It made God's
promises so living and real to them
that it became the dominant force In
their lives,
4. Faith enables us to understand
how the worlds were made (v. 8). No
man was present when God made the i
Worlds, so the foundatlen for our
knowledge is the Word of God, The
one who has faith wholly believes'
that Word.
II. The Triumphant Victories of
Faith (11 :4-88).
1. Faith of the antediluvian saints
(vv. 4.7). As representative of this
period three men are• pointed out:
(a) Abel (v, 4), who displayed his
faith in his worship. He took nils
place before God as a sinner and of-
fered a bloody sacrifice, thereby show-
ing that he looked forward to. Christ's
atonement, which Is substitutionary—
:a life for a life. (1') Enoch, who dis-
played his faith In his walk in fel-
lowship with God (v. 5). (e). Noand
who by faith stood loyal to God In a
time of universal apostasy and wick-
nedness (v, 7). Noah's task was a
stupendous and difficult one. He exe-
cuted it in the face of many a sneer
and taunt, but his faith carried him
through, securing salvation for him-
self and his family.
2. Faith of the Hebrew saints (vv.
8.38). (a) Abraham (vv. 8-10, 17-10).
Abraham went out not knowing
whither he went, but he knew that
the Lord had spoken and that was
enough. By faith he offered up Isaac,
believing that God was able to. raise
him up from the dead and fulfill his
promise that In Isaac the promised
seed should obtain. (b) Sarah through
faith received strength to conceive
seed when she was old, counting him
faithful who had promised (vv. 11, 12).
(c) Jacob by faith pronounced a
prophecy concerning Joseph's sons
(v. 21). By faith he penetrated the
which
unseen and pron„toshould be experiencedounceddetnie, by them
both, (d) Joseph by faith foresaw
the entrance of his people into the
promised land and made them swear
to carry his bones there for burial,
for even his body must not be left
behind In the land of judgment 'and
death (v. 22). te) Moses (vv. 23-28).
Faith In the heaiyts of his parents
caused them to .disregard the• king's
decree. Faith caused: him to turn his
back upon the honors of Egypt and
identify himselii• with )lis enslaved
brethren. t

CAR'S EXHAUST FUMES
ARE DEADLY POISONOUS
Every motorist should know and re-
member that the exhaust fumes from
an automobile motor are poisonous.
When allowed to escape into the open
air they are quickly dissipated and
cause no damage. tho it is unwise to
work close to the exhaust with the
motor running, even in the open air.
It is when the motorist works over
his engine in a close unventilated
garage that trouble comes. He is
likely to be overcome before he re-
alizes his danger, and as the motor
goes on running his condition be-
comes worse unless he is discovered.
Uncles Sam's bureau of alines, which
naturally concerns itself with poison-
ous gases, has been in vestigating the
automobile exhaust. These fumes,
known`te the chemist as carbon mon-
oxide, are the same as the gases in
mines, which have long occupied the
attention of the bureau.
15 has been determined that this gas
is dangerous to life if present in the
air breathed in quantities as small as
two-tenths of one per cent. An ex-
periment showed that the air within
a small garage became extremely dan-
gerous when the motor had been runn-
ing for fifteen nsinutes, and fifteen
minutes passes quickly when you are
adjusting a motor.
Carbon monoxide gives one no
warning, it is odorless, colorless and
tasteless, as well as deadly poisonous.
it is so sudden in its effects and acts
So without warning that the collapse
of the driver is followed by death in
many cases. The fatalities from this
cause have been increasing of late as
cording to government reports.—
