frs SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON CttBtHCBU By Rev. Ernest Bourncr Allen, D. D. Pastor of the Washington, St. Congregational Church and the Marion Lawrence Sunday School, Toledo, Ohio. For Sunday, June 4, 1916 Lesson Title: "The Call of the West." Lesson Text: Acts 16: 6-15. , Mem orize vs. 9, 10. 1 Golden Text: "Come over into Mace donia, and help us." Acts 16: 9. I. The Call of the West. Paul was a tireless traveller. He ever heard the call of the cities anil lands beyond. Busy strengthening the churches in Asia Minor, he hears the call into Macedonia. Later he is saying to himself, 'I must see Rome." And still farther west lies Spain and other "regions beyond." "The Call of the West," to Paul, was the challenge to meet new opportunities for ser vice. He might have said, "Let these people look after themselves, I am busy enough here." But he did not evade his responsibility. The West is calling men today. There are those who think it is des tined to control our entire country. They believe it is now shaping our policies in government, business, ed ucation and religious effort. They think that the old supremacy of The East is gone, never to return. Cer tainly the middle West is a prime factor in our national life. Its great cities-Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, and a score of lesser ones hnve immense of the religious problem of the West . Much of our life there is still in the gristle. Fortunes are in the making. A mighty army of young people is forever marching in to the business and social life there. How shall their home ideals be pre served ? How shall they be kept loyal to God and active in the service of the church? How shall they be made to realize the values in institutions like the church and the public school? Are we not needing still the preachers of righteousness, of christian living and service, of responsibility to God? 11. "The Man of Mecedonia." The "man of Macedonia" is calling us today. Who is he and what does he fay? How do you answer him? How does your church seek to help him? What is at stake in making a reply? The "man of Macedonia" today is the immigrant. He is seeking to learn our customs and secure the ben efits of our life. The "man of Ma cedonia" is the black man. There are 11,000,000 of them today. They are seeking for their chance in the great republic. Then ther is the Indian, the remnant of those brave fighters who tried to keep the white man out of their domains. The Indian is not de creasing in numbers today and he de serves the best from our hands. There is also an army of dependent, disabled, defective, degenerate people who lift their cry to the churches and to the nation today. There is the cry of the toiler who demands a larger share in the products of labor and capital. There is the cry of the educated man who seeks to -lead the multitude. There is the cry of the competent and of the wealthy. The "man of Mace donia" has many representatives to day. Bow shall we answer him? What shall we do for him? III. The Business Woman. ."he first convert in Macedonia was a woman named Lydia, a seller of purple. There are more women in some form of business life today than ever before. The number is increas ing. The war in Europe has thrown more work upon women than they have been accustomed to do before. They are engaged in occupations which previously were thought open to men only. Probably not all of them will leave these occupations when the war is over. There will be a new era in the work of women. The business woman today has proved that she has strength of char acter to meet the peculiar tempations which comes o her., She needs, how ever, as before, the shelter and en couragement of the home and the power of a christian life to keep her true. We shall only weaken our na tional life if womanhood loses its purity and purpose in the turmoil of this life today. Are you making it any easier for the business women you know? Are you helping them to meet the temptations that come to them? Are you trying to make easiei the work of the young woman who has come from the country aide to the town or city work? Are you bringing her the message of the Master and the help of Jesus Christ? , Tho Root of All Good.

Efforts to Keep Them Down S28 Each for Maneatcrs. Extraordinary efforts to keep down the number of sharks in the Adriatic are being made by the Ma rine Board of Trieste, Austria, ac cording to a report sent to the Stat Department by Consul-General Guenther at Frankfort, Germany. The board recently issued a circu lar Instructing all Austrian marine officers to stimulate the killing of sharks and offering high premiums, ranging up to ?23, for each fish cap tured. The bounties to bo paid are: For each shark of whatever spe cies (the edible variety excepted) up to five feet in length, ?2.30; for larger ones, $4.60, and for very large specimens of the species Oxur ihlnna spalanzanl 'and Odontaspls feret, $11.50. For the capturo of maneatlng thnrks the premiums range from ?9.20 to $23, according to size. Fishermen making application for payment of bounties are required only to exhibit tho specimens to the nearest harbor officer. Tha Elephant as a Nurse. A lady In India tells this story of an elephant's skill as a nurse. " 'Thou art hungry, doubtless, big mother said Remml, emerging presently from the hut with the baby in her arms. 'Ishta, beautiful elephant, take care of baby; I am going to see to your din ner.' She puts the little restless brown bundle down on the ground be tween Ishta's two feet. Then she fetched the earthenware jar of unglaz ed red clay and filled It with live charcoal, setting it down to get heat ed through while she mixed flour and water into dough. With the skill of frequent practice she spread the rough mixture three or four inches thick all over the outside of tho jtr. While the dough was slowly baked by the heat from tho embers Inside Ishta, patient and docile as was her wont, cared for the biby, gantly restraining the little truant, who would have crawled away Now and again when the baby limbs moved quicker and achieved a few p-oes of freedom Istha'f trunk would nrefiilly v.-'ml round the little body and i:t Itbacli to safety between the husje lnr Hers of bPr fot. niri the t'p would nen'lv pet and fondle away hubv's fretfulness nnd In-n'ener) -i control."

IN SENSATIONAL MURDER TRIAL UST.ATT'V. EDWAI2D .SWANN (QCHAMPLAIN STUDIOS FORTUNE IN OIL MORTGAGED HIS MEAGER BE. LONGINGS TO INVEST IN THE HEALDTON FIELD IN OKLAHOMA WELLS HOW PRODUCING $5000 DAY Aged Man Now In Mad House Con fided His Beliefs and Drawings To This Lucky Typo Ringling, Ok. The story of how a poor linotype operator who worked on a daily newspaper in Battlecreek Mich, made a half million dollars in oil in Oklahoma within two years after he had mortgaged his belongings for the top cent they'd bear, is contained iu the expeiieneea of Hoy M. Johnson ol Ardmoie. The daily income of two producing companies in the Healdton field in which he is a heavy stockholder la over $5,000. Within 12 months from this date these companies the Crystal Oil Company and the Twin State Oil Company will have produced aboui $20,000,000 of wealth for their stock holders. Within that time the royaltj income that Johnon receives will havi amounted to $100,000. In 10 year should the wells on the property hf owns in fee continue their present rate of production, considering the natural gradual increase from more dillling, he will have made $1,000,000, aud out of an investment of less than $1,00U. An aged man is in a madhouse soim where in the north because of the ex istence of oil in this legion of Okla houia. Before he Knew positively ii was here his mental tension was gtoi ing, and when it was discovered In paying quantities the icallzation was more than the tension would stand Roy Johiifcon pioilted, tor the old man confided to Johnson his beliefs actum panied by diawlii,s and aigumenth. Johnson had studied the oil industiy and the old man's reasons loukej plausible. Johnson had a Utile pihiting plant In Ardmoie, with which he cilculiiU'd a weekly uewspaper called the Aid more Statesman, and he niongutjed tr.e plant and .sumo other belonging), to get tho money neeuhwiry to olu.iiu the llist oil leahu on hind near the iiilaiui village of Healdton. The l.uut pin duced oil. Iu duo time at i United rimes Uov eminent sale of Indian land, Johnson bought seven tiaets, ranging in prn.e fiom $3.25 to $12 an acie, Hie Initial payment totaling $1'J5. These iiacl.s pioved to be located In iilghlv product ive territory. "I haven't any hunches,'' says John son. "As a matter of tact, I have no faith in bunches, but I believe that the PRINTER MAKES JUDGE CLARENCE SHEARLM present .proven field about Healdton is not all the producing territory in this part of Southern Oklahoma. 1 am, therefore, putting pait of my earnings into wells in new territury. I may get a few dry wells, but I be lieve some territory will be opened as good or better than the Healdton field." Johnson was born In Casliton, Wis., and he is 35 years old. Fifteen years ago he took some stock in an oil com pany that drilled an unproducthe well In the Beaumont, Tex., field. Johnson went to Beaumont and after his oil venture .secured a job on a Beaumont newspaper through the in fluenre of H. Spaulding, who after wards became secietary of the Ard more Commercial Club. On Spaulding'y invitation Johnson came to Ardmore and established The Statesman. The as-siistanee that Johnson obtain ed to get his btart in the oil game in Oklahoma came through P. C. Dings, president of the Guaranty State Bank of Ardmore, in whose s.tore in a little town in Iowa the company was organiz ed that drilled the dry well in the Beaumont field in which Johnson waj interested. Dings helped Johnson bor row the money needed to get tho first lease in the Healdton field. Dings later helped to organize the Coline Oil Company, the holdings of which last year sold for $1,000,000 and made 12 Oklahoma men rich Fortunes Won in Sea Rattles. Sea battles at the present time do not result in such great rewards of prize money as formerly. English sailora In times past have brought great fortunes home after their suc cessful cruises. In the war with Holland, 1031-1654, English ships are said to have taken 1,700 prizes, worth thirty million dollars. The English seized two of the Spanish galleons so richly laden with gold and jewels that it took thirty-eight wagons to cary the treasure from Portsmouth to London. In 17G1 came the historic capture of the llermoine, the Spanish treauro ship from Lima. Tho admiral and cap tains received as their share $325, 000 apiece, the lieutenants $60,000, petty officers nearly $10,000, and even tho common seamen $2,500 each. On arriving at Portsmouth the seamen bought up all the watchet In the placo and Vied them over the galley fire. Sarcophagi Secrets. Tho sarcophagi of ancient Egypt beem to have at length given up their great secret, hitherto sup posed to have been unfathomable as tho sphinx Itself that of embalm ing. Mr. Borthelot, permanent sec retary of tho Louvre Musoum, as the result of long analytical exami nation of the oils and ungents which have rebisted tho action of timo In tombs of the tifth aud sixth dynas ties, datfng back 3,000 years, dem onstrated that the oil was simply castor oil as is still used in Egypt to-day, while oxidization has pro duced effects analogous to those re sulting from tho action of nitric acid on fatty matters such as have beon observed in oils of tho ancient monuments of Rheims. A JUNGLE FIGHT. The Charge of Elephants In the Dark is Awesome. In thp night 1 was startled from sleep by a crashing In tho nearby jungle which bounded as If tho trees In Sumatra were bbing torn up and simultaneously smnshed to earth. Iu the soundless midnight jungle tho noise seemed tremendous, as indeed it was, and right at our very ears. It was my ilrst exporlenco with ele phants, and I must confess It was nerve trying to He quiet with that crashing all around and no surety that the elephants might not take a fancy to stalk In upon us, or what minute tho fancy might possess them. Nor did It lend peace to the anxiety of tho moment to realize that one elephant, much les a herd, is only now and again providentially stopped in his tracks by powder ball; for at the base of tho trunk and through the ear are the only Instantly vulnerable places to your rifle bullet. To have an elephant break cover immediately beside you is not so serious a matter on hard open ground, where you may have good footing, trees, and it 19 not im possible to dodge; hut In a junglo where you cannot make your way ex cept by constant ine of knife, and sink over your ankles in muck at every step, Is quite another story, and one full of trouble on occasion. Needless to say, steep was Impos sible while the elephants ripped the jungle Into pieces, and It wa3 too black to attempt hunting; so we lay anxiously, not to say fearfully, await ing developments, given now and then an extra start by the shrill trumpet ing of the elephants, which, shortly before daybreak, suddenly moved away, to leave all quiet once again. If anything is more disconcerting than the bugling of elephants in the still of the jungle night, as they in close you in a crashing circle, I have yet to experience It. February Out ing. An Indian Creation Myth. The Dlogueno (Mission Indian) has no surmise concerning the creation of the earth. To him it Is a primeval fact. Earth and sky existed In the be ginning of things but not as now Illu mined by aun, moon and stars, In formed with purpose, and active with lift. In the beginning all was shape less, dark, inert, a chaos full of un tried potencies. The Sky-Power, brooding mystery, rested upon the re ceptive earth. Out of chaos came a voice, a song, ending in a long-drawn sigh, signifying accomplishment, rest at the end of achievement. Again, voice, song and sigh; and with each act of the Firit-CauEP, an effect; the Earth-Mother, Sin-yo-hauch, the myste rious name, brought forth to the Sky Power a god, Tu-chaipa, the best, the first-born, and then Yo-ko-raat-is, the lesser, the brother. Then old Tu-chal-pa, with the assistance of his brother, create man to Inhabit the earth, and the man, moon aud stars to give light; first of all uprearing from its primal prostrate state the sky to be the arch of the heavens as we see It now above the heads. The spirituality of this conception of creation, together with certain points of resemblance to the Hebrew story of Genesis, dignifies the Die gueno account and places it in a class by lt:elf among the Indian myth3. CHUTES FOR RED HOT RIVETS May Stop Hazardous Practice of Toss and Catch One of the spectacular features of the woik on the modern steel build ing which alwajs attracts the inteie.il of the spectators is the adeptness ot the man at the forge, v hose job con sists of heating the rivets to the point of ledness and thpn tossing the glow ng metal to a workman somewhere in the vicinity. He catches it and drive, it into a hole awaiting its icception In its heated condition the two ends are then clinched by a few blows ol the hammer. Occasionally these meteor like mis siles go astray, and are likely to do some damage, unless they are looked after. It has been found that a bettei way of displacing the practice is b.. means of a chute, which Is the metho' being followed In the construction o! the new elevated railway in New York THE COAST LINE TO DETROIT CLEVELAND.

" BaEnBSHasasananaaBBHtnBaananBBnin COWS OCCUPY AN OLD TAVERN WHICH WAS RENDEZVOUS OP GAY BLOODS OF TOPEKA YEARS AGO MANY DANCES HELD IN BALL ROOK! Indians also Gathered and Rebelled Because They Could Not. Partici pate Center for Ovcrlanders Topeka, Kas. A rendezvous for the gay bloods of the Topeka of 1836 to 1870 and for the past 40 years In ser vice as a barn, the old lndianola Tav em still stands, sturdy in the strength of lis native timber. The flourishing trading post and stage station of which the tavern was the center have been gone for two score years. No trace of the houses or the towu ai e to be found but the tavern, upright through weath- er beaten, still basks in the sun as It did 00 or more years ago, when the boys and girls of Topeka danced until the morning light broke through the broad east windows. Five miles north and west ot Tope ka, on the banks of Soldier Creek, an easy drive from the. village of Topeka, lndianola and its famous tavern form ed a popular gathering place for the joung folks of the early days. Many weie the dances held in the broad ballroom of the second floor, while travelers on the way to and from Fort Riley, gamblers, Indians aud bad men, lolled about the bar below or ran their fingers thiough the cards at the plain deal tables. Col. "Hank" Lindny, a young man in Topeka in the days hefoie and Just after the war, recalls Willi Interest the many pleasuie jaunts to the old tav ern. Col. Lindsay was proprietor ot a livery barn at that time. Frequently he supplied the rig to the village sports and as frequently he took part In the festivities himself. "We had an old fiddler named Hall," mused the Colonel. "He played for all our dances and called them himself We danced the quadrille and the niln uet and muney musk. We didn't have the dances that they have today, but we used to have fully as goo 1 a time And when 12 o'clock came, refi Bail ments weie served. Perhaps some ol the refreshments aren't found In these days at the dances of the young folks. "lndianola was an Indian settlement. Very nearly every resident of the place was a Kaw. These Indians used to gather about our dances, envious be cause they couldn't take part. We had a little tioble with them one eve ning." Pressed for a description of the trouble Col. Lindsay explained that the Indians tried to take charge and the town hoys repelled them. "We finally had to use chairs,'' the Colonel said. "But, son, we whipped them, and finished the dance." The tavern is on the farm of Art Johnson. Cows occupy the broad bar room where the half breed proprietor was wont to aatlsfj the inner being o! his pioneer patrons, while chickens stioll about under the eyes where 50 years ago girls in light dresses laugh ed softly at some pretty remark of a Topeka gallant.
