In the preceding chapter we read that Israel did evil in bhe sight of the Lord and he delivered them into the hand of Midian. They came upon them in such numbers that sinful Israel had not spirit enough to resist and took refuge in dens and caves. For seven years, year after year, did the Midianites, as bands of robbers, make inroads upon the country, car- rying off corn, sheep and oxen, until, at lust in despair of succor from Baal Israel cried unto the Lord. Then the Lord sent a prophet who reminded them of the great things God had done for them in the past, and told them these present calamities had fallen upon them because they had not obeyed God's voice. We are not told what effect the preaching of this prophet had upon the people but im- mediately after we have the calling of Gideon to take upon himself the command of their forces against the Midianites. An angel appeared to him when he was busy thresh- ing corn and said to him: "The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valor : go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites! Have not I sent thee ?" In to -day's lesson we have the carrying out of that great commission. We are told that the spirit. of the Lord came upon Gid- eon.and he sent messengers through- out the country and the people flock- ed to his command, coming even from the more distant tribes whose land as yet had not been devastated by the foe, until his army numbered thirty-two thousand. Now, being sure of God's presence with him Gideon lost no time in setting his army in the best possible position. He pitched near a famous well, that there might he no lack of water for his troops, and upon high ground overlooking the enemy in the valley. But before any attack was made he again heard the voice of the Lord saying that the army was too strong even though small in comparison to that of the enemy. God would leave them no chance for boasting after- wards, so he reduced their numbers by two tests. He ordered Gideon to proclaim in the ears of the people saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid let him return and depart from Mount Gilead. This reduced the army to ten thousand. He again said to Gideon, the people are yet too many, bring them down unto the water, and 1 will try them for thee there. It is still the custom in that land for the natives to use both modes of drinking described here. Some go down on their knees and, bending forward put their lips to the water; others merely stoop and lap up a few handfuls. Those that. r did the latter in Gideon's armv were but three hundred and God said unto Gideon. hut the three hundred men that lapped wiI T Save sou, and de. liver the Midianites into thine hand. All the rest went hack unto their tents. He must. go forward and fight. by faith or not at all. in the night time the Lord again snake to Gideon telling him to take one man and go down into the camp of the enemy and spy out the situa- tion. The sight was appalling, for the men lay along in, the valley as grasshoppers for multitude and the camels were without number. It was, however, not what he saw but what he heard that heartened him. He overheard two soldiers talking. One of them told a dream he had. it seemed a very foolish dream for in it he saw a barley cake tumble into the camp of the Midianites, knock drown a tent and bury those in it. The other soldier undertook to interpret the dream saying. this is nothing else save the sword of Gideon, for into his hands hath God delivered Midian and all the host. At once Gideon recog- nized t}.e hand of God in bringing him to that spot and he worshipped and then set off to his own men and railed them into action. He made them take harmless implements in their 'hands—trumpets ai.d pitchers with lamps inside. He then instruct- ed them to watch and do as he did. That mighty host that had at differ- ent times for seven years terrorized the Israelites was now to be routed and ruined by terror. Gideon divided his company into three sections and marched to the outside of the camp of the Midianites and they blew the trumpets and at the same time dash- ed their pitchers, maldng one great coaching noise while the lights in- side made a glaring show like a flash of Iightning, and every man cried out with a mighty shout, the sword of the Lord, and of Gideon. So sudden and in the dead of the night was this attack that all the host ran, and cried, and fled while all the time Gid - eon's men stood still round about the camp. This great victory was followed up by those . solderers that bad been dis- missed when the three hundred were ehooett, oe well as the ;?ain't -hearted Who tOfentilolite, rettirnitnt and great Standard of Quality for over 50 Years was the slaughter. "To -day God is fighting against sin amongst His people and the church's best weapons are trumpets and lamps—the proclamation of Christ's name and work, and the light of god- ly lives."

ANOTHER ROMANCE OF THE FLOOD MILLIONS Quite as romantic as anything screened at Hollywood will be a civil suit about to begin nearby, when Mrs. Constance May Gavin, wife of a Los Angeles hank teller, will seek to ?"-m r that she is the granddaughter of Je.mes C. Flood, the "Bonanza T'ing," and therefore entitled to a portion cif the estate of "Jimmy" Fl god, his son and her father. The ,:-:run she is asking for is $4,000,000. 1'he other members of the Flood fam- ily say the woman is an imposter, a fortune hunting adventuress. But she has a most impressive array of witnesses to prove her strange story and also a most plausible explanation of the fact that her father never re- cognized her after his second mar- riage. The strongest card of the Floods, who are resisting her claim, is an affidavit in which a Mrs. Eudora Forde Stearn admits that Mrs. Gavin is her daughter. Mrs. Stearn now repudiates the affidavit and says that Constance May is undoubtedly the daughter of Jimmy Flood. She says that what is now produced as an affi- davit was understood by her when she signed it to be a receipt for a large sum of money from Mr. Flood. She will not say why she was given the money, but Hollywood is not mys- tified on this point, not for a minute Ail old timers in California know the story of the "l;onanza King," and those of a later generation are fami- liar with the romance of his son Jimmy. In 18c.S. Jimmy married Marie Re/stria Fritz, a travelling actress of unusual charm. It is said that Flood senior directed his son to the actress in the hope and belief that a marriage with her would save him from many of the snares set for him by designing women. Ten years later Maria Rosina died, and a year later .James Flood married Maude lee Fritz, his deceased wife's sister. When he died recently he left his estate to her and their two children, D!UIIOR ADVISED OPEUTION FOR MRS, PENN She Escaped It by Taking Lydia E.

CARY, g Ic Via'"'" *ekes e 4P4' tit i s is ex fore,., kat afxxs vin oold 1$ a Spring. Mrs. Gnvb *s awn st(or", that she .Dynes to., bless their Unien,ilx. 1.898, and lived .1 with thein ' ha ppili for several years in the famous Alma: Dale estate, in the Santa Cruz meunitains, an estate which is now one of, the show places of Northern California. She also lived with thein at other places, and travelled with theta, and promises to show records to prove it. Shortly after James Flood married for the second time, she was sent a- way to Kansas City and there placed in a convent under the name of Con- stance May Stearn. But she says it was generally accepted by the sisters at the convent that she was James Flood's daughter. In this convent and later in a California convent,.all her expenses were paid through the office of the Archbishop with nobody knowing the source of the money, n 1902 she was told that the funds, I' r her support had ceased, and that her formal' education must therefore be considered at an end. It was after she had left the convent and gone to live with a Los Angeles family that she became thoroughly convinced that she was really Constance May Flood and not Constance May Gavin. After that she made repeated efforts to see James Flood, but was always kept away 'frons him. Once she was told by his secretary that she was not Miss Flood, but the daughter of people named Stearn, both of whom were dead. Why should she have been thus ex-, pelled from the family if indeed she was a Flood? Her explanation is that her aunt, the second Mrs. Flood, took a dislike to her, and that her father, rather than have trouble in his household, sent her away, not intending that the arrangement should be permanent. Then, as his second family ap,peared and his wife's dis- like of Constance May did not abate, but on the contrary grew stronger, he had not the resolution to reinstate his daughter. In that event it is not clear why, when he was leaving this world, he did not make suitable pro- vision for her. It may be that he had come to take his wife's point of view. Or, maybe he\ had forgotten that he had another child than those under his own roof. Hollywood has heard of such cases. But the alleg- ed incidents are not so remote that they cannot be verified. According to her own story, Constance May liv- ed with her father until she was six or seven years old. He was one of the most prominent men in California and did not live in any secretive way. [f there was a child around the house the fact would be known. Mrs. Gavin says she can prove from newspaper clippings, if not from actual witnesses, that at her father's second wedding she. was the ring bearer. A clipping records that "Pre- ceding them (Flood and his fiancee) will walk Mr. Flood's little daughter Constance May, who will carry a plain gold wedding ring on a cushion of satin covered with rare old lace." She will also produce a photograph pur- porting to show her carrying the ring on the cushion. One sister of the two Fritz girls admits that she has a hazy idea of a child having been born to Marie. But a brother says it is ridic- ulous. He also denies that there was any ring bearer at the wedding. An- other piece of evidence will be the two words, "Baby's Room" printed on an annunciator in a San Francisco house occupyed by Flood and his first wife. Witnesses will be called to prove that •a child lived there with them. Another interesting exhibit will he the passenger list of the voy- age of a Pacific liner in 1898 showing that a little girl named Constance May sailed with James L. Flood and Maude Lee Fritz, who became his sec- ond wife. All in all, as Ring Lardner says, it would seem that California has no mean successor to the McPher- son case. THE ANNUAL, MENACE OF MICE AND RABBITS Not a year goes by that there are not numerous complaints of heavy loss of fruit trees due to the ravages of mice and rabbits. Injury from mice is comparatively easy to control. The succulent bark of the young tree is particularly tasty to them in the lean months of winter, but as they are under the snow and do not climb the trees, some means of protection will prevent their damage. Ordinary building paper does very well, not the tarred, but the plain grey building paper. 'Cut this in strips six inches or three inches wide and tie around the trunk of the young trees, banking up around the bottom with a little earth. A better and more permanent way is to use wire protectors, made from either galvanized wire of a fine mesh of from efrpanded metal lath. Cut this material into strips about 18 inches high and 18 inches or so wide to allow for expansion o fthe tree, and fasten with small pieces of wire. This material will last several years with- out replacing, and insures adequate protection against mice and against rabbits as far as the material reaches, but rabbits have the f culty of getting on top of the snow find chewing the branches above the snow line. This makes protection a rather difficult matter. There is not any really good treatment for rabbits, but the follow- ing poison has met with some success and is worth trying: White arsenic, 1 part; corn meal, 8 parts. Mix thor- oughly and spread about the area to be protected. A repellant which has also been used with va*ying success is as follows: Unslaeked lime, twenty pounds; flowers of sulphur, fifteen pounds; water forty pounds. Apply this to the trunks with a brush.
