Her smile thanked him for bit loyalty to the man on trial. The case had gone to the jury. there in the dusk of the eecoed din of the murder trial. The prosecutor had asked for a haugittg verdict. He was an ambi- tious young attorpey not long out of law school. Webb had no money with wlticl• to hire an attorney. Old Judge Anders. whose love for whisky had broken his life and taken away his law practice, had offered to defend Webb. Some time or another. Webb had done hint some sort of favor and the battered old attorney had not forgotten. So he put aside his whisky bottle, shook the moth- ball, out of a black broadcloth suit, and in that dusty little courtroom lie made his final plea to the jury. As lie talked, you could hear no sound save that silvery voice and the breathing of those who listened. Jurymen sat on the edge of their chairs. missing not a word of that gallant speech. The judge on the bench was visibly moved. Even the tailored prosecuting attorney list- ened with respectful attention. Tile white-haired attorney told of the friendship between Bob Anderson and Webb Winters. He dwelt ttpott incidents that showed a brotherly love between the two melt. "Gentlemen of the fury," he lilt• ished. tears wetting his cheeks, "take a last look at Webb Winters. Remember all I have told you.

Slowly, he turned away and walked out ofr the courtroom, He was s go- ing to his humble cabin to put away his rusty black suit. He was going back to the bottle that ltad stood uncorked, there on his table, all during the trial, Judge, jury and spectators watched the departure of the old warrior whose spell still held them silent. The judge blew his nose and addressed the jury. His voice was not quite steady when he spoke, giving theta their instructions be- fore they retired. • When the jury went out, a few of the spectators left. but most of them stayed, forgetting their hun- ger for supper, held by cariosity. The judge had quit his bench and gone to his chambers. Ile needed a little drink and a pipe of plug tobacco after that speech he had listened to He had hardly Finished his pipe when he was infortned that the jury had reached a verdict.

Barclay Warren Hosea, The Man and His Message Hosea 4:1-9; 6:1.3: 10:12.13 Golden Text: My people are des- troyed for lack of knowledge. -110 - sea 4:Ga., The store of flocea's family life is one of the strangest in the Bible. The Lord said to hint, "(to, take a wife of whoredom and children of witoredontst for the laud hath K'ottittlttecl great whoredom, de- parting from the Lord." 'Chug his married life became an object les- son to all Israel. Three children were born, two boys and a girl. They were given names that were tokens tef coating judgment to Is- rael. '!'hen hunter played the harlot with other lovers. Hosea pointed out to Israel her wickedness in forsaking the true trod and going after other gods and loving flagons of wine. But Hosea went after his unfaithful wife. "So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver and an homer and a half of barley. And 1 said unto her, 'Thou shalt abide for me many days; tltou shalt not play the harlot, and thou shalt not be for another man; so will I also he for thee." The family was again restored.: o Israel would be brought back to (sod. Hosea pointed out the sins of Israel in no uncertain terms; swearing, lying, killing, stealing. committing adultery. But through all the denunciation, God's amts of love are still open. Ile intreats them to return to Him, 1l ore of that will be seen in next Sunday's lesson. A careful reading of Hosea will teach .tis malty timely lessons. When Gunter left her husand she was not so happy as she thought she would be. In fact her mirth ceased. So it is for those who break their marital vow, and for those who, in the pursuit and prac- tice of any sin. forsake the Lord Jesus Christ.

As a little girl Princess Mar- garet het el confirmed favourites among fairy tales, which she re- mennhered word by word.

Put the gloves on the hands, then wash in spirits of turpentine in the same manner as when wash- ing the hands, When clean, hang the gloves in a warm place, or where there is a current of air. , . . Q, How can I keep fruit from hemming black after peeling? A. Always use a sharp silver knife for peelin;; fruit, as steel is very liable to blacken the fruit, ;l. flow can I prevent dryness of the hair, anti also bring out the lights of hlolndc hair? A. Warm castor oil rubbed into the hair the night before a shampod will correct excessive dryness. Le- mon in the rinse brings out the beauty of blonde hair; vinegar should be used by brunettes. Follow the rinse with one of clear water. Q. How can 1 prevent pricking the finger \Omit unending the finger of a glove! A, First put the finger into a thimble and then into the glove.

It looks as if the pattern for spring is much the same as that of 19 Looking 9. L 4oo n back over last o g year's chronicles I find that on May 5, are were w"halfway g t cthrough seeding" so g it must have been the latter part of April before we really started. And the chances are this year will be about the same .. . as I write the date is April 25. Of course locality makes a differ- ence. Last Friday we saw men out on the land down near the Front, and our own land is drying fast, but in the Guelph district fields are still soggy and impossible to work -that is, according to friends who came to visit yesterday, They were decidedly worried. The farmer said it had been a tough winter .. • thirty-five head of cattle to feed, and they had been buying hay, grain concentrate and even bedding for the stock -and now heavy ex- penditures were in the offing for spring seeding. * r: But that's the way it goes. There's money in farming in good years -but comes the time wheat there are poor crops, poor pasture and a poor catch of gress seed - then it is that farmers really get worried. That is also the time when poor farm management takes a beating and thrifty farmers win out. But let me hasten to add that un- forseen circumstances may arise so that even the good farmer may also lose out. Sickness in the family , hospital bills .. , Ore ... loss of a valuable cow or a litter of pigs . , , any of these can spell the difference between a ]card year and a, prosperous one. The farmer needs to be a philosopher so that he can resign himself to take things as they conte -the good with the bad; one year with another. * 5 * Sorting out some papers the other clay this caption caught my -"Faruters too thrifty for their own good." Are they? What do you think? What is thrift anyway? How do we differentiate between thrift and meanness? So often one is taken for the other. It seems to me that when times are good there is less thrift and apparently tnore generosity because it is only na- tural for people to be generous when no personal sacrifice is in- volved, But when money is hard to come by it is then that you find the difference between thrift and meanness. At such times the thrifty person is still generous but the mean person is meaner titan ever. But we don't hear somuc much about thrift these days. At one time it looked was e u a 0o d on as n admirable n quality but now it has become trore or less old-fashioned. People s eo 1 p don't bother to "make do" as they used to . . . this thing and that tiring isn't worth fixing . . throw it out -get a new one, Why waste half a day to save a dollar .. spend that dollar and save your- self time and trouble. It sounds logical, doesn't it -but the point is, is the time saved put to good ad- vantage? And then again, we all have our• pet economies, and, I suppose, foolish ways of spending money, NN€ 441ST 'amEj C�srlr 4 tz t.

For the kitchen I used old overalls and a worn-out piece of ticking which resulted in a strong, firm doormat, saving the cost of a cocoa -fibre mat. Maybe I put more than $2 worth of time into my mat -but then I was mak- ing nee of something that would otherwise have been thrown away. Actually, that is my idea of thrift -making the best use of what you've got; using everything for some good purpose if at all pos- sible; taking care of things so they last longer ---but not to the point of meanness -there is no thrift in being penny wise and pound foolish --there is a time to save and a time to spend or, as an old Italian proverb says very neatly "Saving is getting," Isn't that tile? Saving to small things is one way of getting the big things. Generally we have to vhoose between the two, Well, I wish Old Sol would be more generous with his sunrays and the north-west wind 'a little more niggardly with his breezes. It is colder in the house than it is outside very often. Put an online ary fire in the furnace and the house is too hot; check the fur- nace right off and the fire goes out. However, warmer weather must be on the way as I have frilled two flies and one mosquito! And we have also heard the swamp frogs singing. Twice they have been "shut up" -one more time and we can be sure that spring is here, You know what the old timers say - "You can't have spring until the swamp frogs have been shut up three tunes."
