FULTON COUNTY TRIBUNE M P A I .MUi. L.l. 1vmVTT I " WrUlNLlsC I DISCONTENTED ANIMALS, The cat was sitting In the barn door way, gunning herself. She licked her paws and rubbed them over her face and then atretched out for a nap. The flog in the other door was watching her. "Mice Puss," he Raid, "you cer tainly hare an easy life nothing to do but Bleep and eat. When your food ia ready someone calls you. Now, I have to go for mine, and a great many tiroes I have to remind the cook that I am in existence." I oon t see that you work very hard," said the cat, who had become fully awake. "You sleep a good bit yourself. I have this barn to keep clear of mice and rats and the house also, and if one little mouse happens to get Into the house the cook says that cat ts getting too much to eat and then 1 am given short rations for a while. I cannot even look admlr ' lngly at a chicken without being sus pected of wrongdoing. You are a very fortunate dog." Now, lstn that Just like a cat, re plied the dog. "I would like to know who is responsible for the safety of things around here if I'm not. The doors are locked at night, and 1 am left on guard In my house in the yard. Don't That You Hard." Work Very I must sleep with one eye open, and If I do hear anything, and bark, some one calls out of the window to know why I am making all the noise; and If I do not bark they think I am of no use. Oh I tell you, It's a regular dog's life that I lead!" "What are you two talking about?' said the horse. "You do not know what it Is to work." ' The eat and the dog laughed. "Oh! they said, "1 should think you would not complain, when you have a nice bed for you every night, and food and drink brought to you, and someone to slick your coat and make you look nice. What do you have to complain off" I have to travel many miles," the horse replied, "and drag a wagon.

You two do not know when you are well off. If you were a horse you might nave cause for complaining.'' ' The cow, who had been listening to all these complaints mooed and said: "Suppose anyone of you had to lead toy life." v ' The cat, the dog and the horse laughed at her. "Your life," they said, " is one of ease. You de not work, and nothing la required of you." ' "Oh I Is that what you think?" said the cow. "None of you are In dally danger of death, and I am.

One Missouri county leads the United States in club member ship. The clubs keep almost 7,000 country boys and girls at work along practical and definite lines. The work of the boys' and girls' clubs was begun by the university about two years ago. Since that time the organization has grown to 613 clubs with 6.SC3 members. Corn Judg ing and sewing clubs are tjte most populnr. Of the former there are 180 in the state. There are 271 of the latter. Other clubs deal with stock Judging, poultry, pig raising, bread making and com raising. Membership in boys' and girls' clubs has practically doubled since June 1. Juvenile Viewpoint. "Now Freddy," said the mother of a JltUe five-year-old, "If you eat any of those preserves while I am out you'll icatch it." , "Why, ma," queried the astonished youngster, "are preserves contagious?" Wanted the Ussd One. Elsie (at the neighbor's) Is it true that yon got a new baby? Newpop Yes. dear. Elsie Then won't you please let me have the old one? not nice and creamy, I am led to the slaughter house and made Into beef. You talk of a hard life, you do not know what It is." Just then the farmer came in. "What Is all this noise about T" he asked. So they told him. "Very well," he said, "I will have you' all changed into the animal you . . .... ,. '" u After a while he asked the dog what he had chosen to be, but the dog had decided to remain as he was. Then he turned to the cat, but she had run out; she did not care to be any larger than she was. And the horse and cow had also decided to remain in their present condition. "Well," said the farmer, "if you are all satisfied, do not let me hear any more complaining." This story should teach us that dis content leads only to unhappiness, and we should wish to change only when we are fitted for the things and places we aspire to. CANDY ETIQUETTE IN JAPAN It Is Not Considered Good Form to , Partake of Sweets on Street Children Observe Rule. But with all that, they have their niceties about eating, Homer Croy writes of the Japanese in Leslie's. One days as 1 was going along the street I saw a candy man uttlng on a stool beside his cart fashioning delicacies with his two flying thumbs. Taking a ball of candy mixture he would give it a few pinches, a twist, dab on a red spot and there would be a fish, taking up another ball be would give It a few twists and he would have a radish; 1 Half a dozen of these he would put Into a thumb-made candy plate, the size of a chocolate wrapper, and sell for half a cent. Buying a plate of tiny delicacies I gave it to a girl, expecting to see her down it in good old Ameri can fashion, but instead of failing on it greedily she made a courtly bow and tore down th street as fast ss her wooden shoes would let her. I looked after her In astonishment, thinking that this upset every child theory 1 had and determined to try, It again. So I waited until - the two flying thumbs had molded another delicacy and proffered this to a seaond child. Down the street she flew, too. her wal nut knot of hair wobbling excitedly. When I bought the third delicacy 1 gave It to a child that was weighted down with a baby on her .back and fol lowed after, while she went bobbing down the street, the baby's head roll ing heavily. 1 found her sitting on the floor, eating the slrupy fish and candy radishes with many delighted sucks and appreciative grunts. Then I un derstood; it was not polite to eat on the street, but under her father's gray tile roof It was the height of form to disDose of the sweets . with all the f ustatory gurglings that her delighted soul wisnea.

Corduroy Featured Besides fur-fabrics, which gave chance for a welcome variety in sep arate coats and Jackets to be worn with cloth skirts, corduroy has In creased its popularity for this purpose; Like fur-fabric it is more effectively used as a wrap, with skirt of a plain material, than in suits, and it makes a handsome full-length coat for either street or dressy wear. Its adaptability to man purposes is explained by Its manufacture in many colors and of cotton as well as wool or silk. The quieter colorings are chosen for utility coats, the bright hues for sports coats, and the richer qualities provide wraps for evening. The last are almost always furnished with big fur collars and cuffs. An effective model in a corduroy short coat is shown here. It is in taupe color with collar and cuffs, of the mate rial, and even the large flat buttons covered with it.

Those who wish to get the sewing for spring under way are safe in making up his washable suits and play rompers of the usual fabrics.

Sometimes they combine a color with white, more often a plain and a striped pattern, and Just about as often two colors, in the same suit.

White linen suits fill in his needs for more pretentious dress, and these or velveteen suits bespeak his best effort to do honor to formal occasions.

Although the wrought flints found In great numbers in Egypt have been dicussed in various isolated papers, no detailed survey of them has as yet been accessible to students.

From the Christian Herald. ROMANCES END f "CUPID'S MORGUE" Many a Token of Affection finds Its Way to the Dead Letter Office. Every Year Thousand of Valentines Fall to Reach Their Destination Because of Carelessness on the Part of Those Who Send Them. HE failure to dot an "i" or I cross a "t" helps to fill "Cupid's morgue" and often places in Jeopardy the real romance of many a man and maid who go through life thinking that the anonymous out pourings of their hearts were not ap preciated, or that the intended recip ient lacked intuition. Thousands of these Votaries of St. Valentine lose out every fourteenth day of February and wonder why, little thinking it was only the slip of the pen in ad dressing the valentine to the chosen one that caused it to go astray and JSiaUy reach "Cupid's morgue," as it is called at the dead letter office at Washington. . Or It may be the lost valentine was sent to a "Nixie post office," which sounds' like a place for only mysteri ous letters which are sent to little brownies, pixies and fairies by small children, but Is in reality Just a flag station on the railroad, and not a post office at all. In this case it is left at the nearest post office, and if the ad dressee fails to claim it the valentine then reaches "Cupid's morgue" at some one of the sixteen division head quarters of the railway mail service. When ' it reaches the morgue, if It bears a written message, every means is resorted to to find for whom it was Intended, for Uncle Sam has a lot of sentiment, so sometimes by the post mark and a wonderful astuteness in unravell& the secret Intentions of people which characterizes the clerks in the dead letter office through whose hands it passes, the fair one or gallant is reached. As real valentines are never signed for that is their myster ious charm it takes a kindred feeling and the cleverest sort of detective work to unravel the mystery of their destination. In the event of failure he who thinks these messengers of sentiment and love are ruthlessly de stroyed or sold .-t auction in one of the several dead letter sales which take place each year is mistaken, for in the case of valentines, with some exceptions, what is one's loss is an other's gain, and while a trifle belated reach a happy destination where they are thoroughly appreciated.'- On the 14 of February all over the country the mails increase about ten per cent, and while this is not as large an Increase as at Christmas and Easter, it Is very noticeable, requiring a longer time to sort and deliver the valentine matter. The special deliv ery and parcel post service help to facilitate getting out the mails on this day, and the latter is particularly in teresting in the variety and unique ness of the articles it carries as sou venirs of the celebration. With each year styles change, And the old-fashioned, large, lace paper val entines In the embossed envelopes of the last century, and the fancy cards in pasteboard boxes which used to be sent and were such a trial in the stamping machine, have now given place to thousands of post cards, while books, candy, flowers, fruit and other articles requiring careful wrapping come by special delivery or in the parcel poru , There is no live stock of any de scription carried by parcel post except by accident, though there is under dis cussion at this time a plan looking to ward an extension of the service in this direction, that the farmers and country people generally may have the benefit of sending their live poultry, and perhaps game, to customers di rect. However, on last Valentine day a Long Popular In England. The custom of drawing mates, or valentines, was an important function in the homes of English gentry as far back as 1476. On St Valentine's day an equal number of young men and maidens would meet, writ-; their names on billets, and draw for part ners. The fortunate valentines gave balls and other entertainments to their mistresses who wore their cavaliers' billets meantime and in other ways devotedly wooed them. Genuine lore affairs, of necessity, country swain not being up in parcel post regulations and wishing to send the admired one a suggestive, live. homey valentine, sent her a pair of bantam chickens by the parcel post. The postmaster at the country post office, not' having read carefully his instructions, or perhaps having a fel low feeling, allowed the tiny cock and hen to come to Washington,, and they were so cute and the cock crowed so lustily on his arrival that the parcel post man delivered the pair to the intended one. Besides these, a pair of rabbits came through in the same way. . '. ' .'' Since the rage for picture postcards began valentines largely take that form, and as addresses are often de fective, and there are no return marks, these are turned into "Cupid's morgue" in the dead letter office, where they are- carefully looked over, sorted out, put in packages ana by the help of a list ' furnished by municipal officers, sent around to the various charitable institutions and hospitals. On reach ing thi3 final destination they are dis tributed among the inmates and pa tients in the wards, of course the children coming first This is a wise and cheerful disposi tion of them that Uncle Sam has thought out, as they bring sunshine to many a little child and older person, too, who may have been overlooked on St. Valentine's day. And though the gift is a bit late, it is enjoyed Just as much, as was illustrated in thj case of an old sailor in one of the hospitals, who was moved to tears of Joy at the sight of the valentine, explaining , to the nurse that it was the first he had received in years. The last one reached him in a foreign port, he ex plained, and since then there had been silence. , ' Flowers and, fruit are distributed in a similar way after being kept for a reasonable length of time in the large ice box which was Installed in October in the new city post office for . that purpose, all perishable goods being put in this If delivery is belated. . CUPID SULKING WEDDED LOVERS' VALENTINE. When daffodils began to blow. And apple blossoms thick to snow Upon the brown and breaking mold "Twas in the spring we kissed and sighed And loved, and heaven and earth defied. "We were so young and bold. Alas! we are not now so young. Yet love to us hath safely clung. Despite the sorrow, years and care But, ah! we have not what we had. We cannot be so free, so glad So foolish as we were. Its Origin in Doubt. Many hold firmly to the belief that the celebration by the youth of both sexes of St. Valentine's day has some connection with the Roman saint Val entlnus, the bishop or presbyter who was beheaded in 270, during the reign of the Empei-or Claudius. But this Is doubtful, though, according to Wheat ley, St. Valentine "was a man of most admirable parts, and so famous for his love and charity, that 'the custom of choosing valentines upon his festi val took its rise from thence." Ee this as it may, the association of this lovers' holiday with St. Valen tine, though accidental, may have had its origin in his wise. sprang from this rapprochement, and the result was many a happy m riage.

RALSTON Secretary of Correspondence Department, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago TEXT For the wrath of God is re vealed from heaven against all ungodli ness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. Rom. 1:18- - - ' . : .; . What are" the good tidings of great Joy as announced by the angels to the; shepherds? To say to men to day -, that. God loves them? Yes, but' only announc ing that part of the . Gospel the preacher is act ing cruelly, he must announce that there is wrath with God. Many years ago the bishop of tlie central diocese of New York said to a class of - young men about to en ter the ministry: "The truth is, half of God's word is law. The Gospel without a promise of retribution is emasculated. It is not only a theological mistake, it is not a Gospel." The text proclaims that there is wrath with God, and there are scores of Scripture passages speaking of the wrath of God and many of them are in the New Testament.'. What Is the Wrath of-God? . When the ancients saw the moun tains that are now the witnesses of the wrath of man against man rocking" and reeling,' they said the gods were mad. But we cannot so think of the wrath of God. . That wrath is real in dignation against its object, and this indignation carries with it the idea that the object of the wrath will be the subject of God's opposition. The wrath of God is always based on Jus tice and reason that take into account the rights and prerogatives of men as moral agents. Yet, God's own char acter for holiness and Justice will be vindicated whatever may be the impaA tience of man with such a statement. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" no limitation or modi fication.' 1 The Wrath of God Against All Sinful - -Men.. We know God hates Iniquity and all evil deeds, but it is a more serious matter for us to note that the prepon derance of scripture testimony is that the wrath of God is against sin ful men and logically so. Sin Is an abstract thing, and cannot be in itself the subject of the execution of jus-' tice, but the sinner can be. Jesus told Nicodemus that the wrath of God abode on sinning man. Paul told the Ephesian and Colossian Christians that the wrath of God would come on the children of disobedience. He told the Thessalonians that the day is com ing when Jesus Christ will be revealed trom heaven taking : vengeance on them that know not God, and obey not the Gospel of Jesus Christ . Wrath Provoked, Slow in Develop ment, and Fearful in Visitation. , There are three things concerning the wrath of God that should be care fully noted: First: The wrath of God can be provoked or called out The Israelites provoked the wrath of God repeatedly and plagues broke out on them. In the second Psalm men were urged to kiss the son lest he be an gry and they perish from, the way when his wrath was kindled but a little. The wrath of God will never be manifested without the positive act of man calling it out, or provoking It, and one of the strongest evidences of the love of God is that his love has been frequently provoked and was most 1 mercifully restrained. Second ly: The wrath of God is slow in its development "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plen teous in mercy." One of the minor prophets teaches almost exactly the same thing, saying: "Turn unto the Lord your God, for he 1b gracious and merciful, slow to anger and of great kindness." Thirdly: The wrath of God is fearful in its visitatioa. The time comes when kindness, merciful indulgence and Iongsuffering, are at an end, and the most terrible judg ments fall. This was Illustrated in the destruction of the race by the flood, by the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, by the plagues on Egypt, by the wholesale destruction of many of the enemies of Israel. Not less fearful, indeed rather more so, will be the awful visitation of God's wrath in the- future as indicated in 2 Thes salonians 1:7-9. ..... Thank God there is a refuge, for as Paul teaches by the Holy Spirit, that being now justified by the blood of Jesus Christ we shall be saved from wrath through him. If ever in the history of the world the attention . of man ought' to be called to the wrath of God, it is now when the wrath of man against man- man so glorified by himself as to, be almost a god is manifested with bitterness and hellish hate as never before. In the awful experiences in the war swept regions there is something of the wrath of God. Men have forgotten God and he is making himself known in wrath. John the Baptists are needed to urge men to flee from the wrath to come. . . . Praise for Works of Fiction.' The most influential books and the truest in their influence, are works of fiction. They repeat, rearrange, and clarify the lessons of life, dis engage us from ourselves, constrain us to the acquaintance of others, and show us a web of experience, but with a single change that monstrous con suming ego of ours struck' out.
