The volume of my correspondence ha* grown so rapidly in

Q —Recently I took a young girl friend to a dance. 1 was
not keeping steady company witli her, but we have known one
another for a number of years, and I have always respected her.
After we arrived at the dance sha left me and went with an
other gentleman, and permitted him to take her home. Was
not this wry Impolite? How shall I treat her when we meet
again? HARRY.
A.—lndeed If you Wl her no provocation to treat you so, it was
was most Impolite. Of course, being a gentleman, ,voii emiiiot show
your feelings in any way when you meet the girl again, hut you can
retrain from extending any invitation to her in tile future.
Q. —My neighbor, C. 0„ has some pigs about 18 feet from
my house. Ah the pigs are poor neighbors, Ido not liko them.
I had the health officer out here und Mr. C. C. lojd the neigh
bors lie could put in two more if he wanted 40. My house was
vacated lour mouths last winter and If it is vacated again, I
am lialile to \tpaat it. I have been to justice of the peace and
the sheriff and they will not do anything about It. I have
been to the county attorney and he won't fight tho case, so I
come to you. Tell me how 1 can get rid of my four legged
neighbors? M. B.
A.—Ask for a wril of mandate to have the health commissioner
remove the pigs; but you MM toe able lo prove that they are a
public nuisance. It will l>e necessary for you to employ an attorney.
Dear Miss Grey: May I say a word for the benefit of "A
Christian?"
"No ono knowetli the Father save the Son and he to whom
soever the Son willeth to reveal Him."—(Matt. 11-27.)
This has happened many times lv the past and Is happen
ing in the world at the present time. When God Is revealed
tot MM soul it is the most wonderful sensation a human being
can experience in this life, but cannot be described because
there are no words In our language that would convey
or suggest the thoughts and ideas to another person.
There are many tilings in our everyday life that we accept
as facts, yet are unable to prove. If when a man looks over
your shoulder and tells you therie is a building In the distance,
you can easily believe him, yet it is Impossible for him to prove
It. You must turn and establish your own proof.
So it is In proving that there is a God. Each individual
must look and see for himself. And when God is revealed to
the soul, the proof Is positive and absolute. A. T. E.
Q.— I have been married only a year and have a baby boy
four weeks old and have a nice home; but my husband never
talks to me about his business —only answers very shortly the
questions I ask him.
Is there any way that I could win his confidence? I love .
him and do all I can to make htm happy.
LONESOME AND SAD.
A.—lf you run get your husband to realize Hint niurrtagc Is
nothing more then a partnership, the siicce** of which depends npon
the degree Hie purluers work ami plan together, you will have no
further trouhle in winning his oim'iilenre. I*erlia|w if you i KHiflde
little tiling* to him anil ask Ins o|>inlon and .get hlni interested In
the lliing* you do he will gradually rome to you wltli the things
wlili'h ini//l«- Mm in his business life. I think one of the biggest
nilstal.es married |H>ople make Is in not having life In eonmion, for
hist as surely as one keeps things from the other, they will In time
drift apart. "
Dear Miss Grey: In answer to "Mrs. H. D." In regard to
prophesies concerning the end of worldy things:
Jesus ..;iill In Matt. 24: There shall be wars but that ll
not the cud, then comets famine, pestilence and earthquakes;
then the killing of Christians; then Bigns In Heaven and earth;
then the coming of Jesus us King.
John said in Rev. 6: There will be tbe red horse of war;
then the black horse of famine; then the pale horse of ilouth;
then the killing of Christians; then signs in Heaven and earth;
then thia coming of Jeeue as Judge.
Joel said in Joel 2:30:81 i There shall be signs in Heaven
and earth before the day of the Lord's coming.
Nahanm said in Nahanm 2: In the day of the Lord's pre
paration, which is during a time of war, the autos shall rage in
the streets, they shall jostle one another in the broadways;
they shall seem like torches; they shall run like the lightnings.
Daniel explains the King's vision In Daniel 2: The head
Is the kingdom of Habylon, the arms are the Media and Per
sian kingdoms, the thighs are the Greek kingdom, the lege are
the Roman kingdom, the toes are the 10 kingdoms that will
occupy the land of the ancient Roman empire in the last days.
The present wars seems to be the one that will divide that
land into 10 kingdoms, this may happen within a year; then In
the day of these 10 kingdoms, the God of Heaven shall aat up
his kingdom which shall deetroy the kingdoms of the earth.

Dear Miss Grey: The following la a sure destroyer of
cock roaches:
Ten cents worth of ground clovee and 10 cents worth of
powdered boric acid, mix and sprinkle on shelves. Thle U not
poison, but is sure death to the roaches. Use every few daya
for about two weeks and they will disappear. READER.

It umually takes from six mouths to a year to complete a busi

CONSECRATION MANY WIVES WOULD LIKE
An Everett, Wash., man joined a religious society,
consecrated himself to God, gave up his job, and
hired his wife to do the housework, saying he had
no further use for her as a wife.
Sounds awful, but there's a lot of perfectly good
wives who would welcome the same kind of a propo
sition.

CONFESSIONS
OF A WIFE
"Don't try to talk about the
liast, Kitty," I entreated. "Think
of the future."
Kitty even gave a faint little
chuckle. "Why Margie, don't you
know that I have nothing liter
ally, nothing but the past—lt is
all past—l have no present and
of the future I do not know —
can form no ideas."
"Kitty," I asked softly, "you
are not afraid to die?"
She looked at me In surprise.
"So, even you did not know me
absolutely," she murmured. "No,
dear, I am not afraid now to die.
I don't think I waa really afraid
the last time I saw you and told
you I waa. It was a protect, my
dear, against being forced to give
up liii. that I loved so much and
accepting death that I knew
nothing about. Besides, I have
always been awfully afraid
of pain, either physical or men
tal.
BY WELLS
"But, surely, Kitty, you be
lieve that you will live after"—
as I said this, it came to me that
Kitty and I had never before dis
cussed this momentous subject.
"I don't believe anything,"
she answered somewhat wearily;
"I Just don't know about It,
that's all.'
"But Kitty, you must believe
—" I stopped and asked myself
what must Kitty believe? Would
I be able to tell her—what did I
really believe T
"Don't you think you had bet
ter have Herbert come in and
talk to you?" I said somewhat
timidly.
"What for?"
"Well, you know, he is a min
ister."
"What do I want of a min
ister?"
"But you said you don't be
lieve?"
"Why should I sully my soul
just before It leaves my body by
lying."
"Oh Kitty, Kitty, dear, I fieel
as though I was not doing right
to let you talk like this. Let
me bring Herbert In."
"I shall talk to Herbert by and
by. Now I want to talk to you,
dear.
"First, dear friend, I am not
afraid because I do believe in
page rym f
some things, and while my belief
may not be orthodox, yet It la
very strong and sustaining In
this, my hour of need.
"I don't know, Margie, what
there is beyond, I have not the
slightest foundation upon which
to build any knowledge. It day
be eternal life; it may be eternal
oblivion —well, dreamless sleep
lit sweet.
"If It be eternal life —if there
be a Judge who will try my case
when I shall Inave you I'll have
to take my chance with him. I
never did any wrong to anyone
In all my life except to myself.
"I've made mistakes and I
have paid for them a hundred
times over while I was alive. They
are wiped off the slate. I am
going to present myself at the
gate of the next world just as
Kitty Mairaiii. without one plan
for if there is a God he will have
understanding.
"What difference does it make
what you believe when by alt the
laws of life and death you are
judged only by your actions. I
might believe It wrong to steal,
but if I stole, my belief would
not count In ray favor when the
judge handed down his decree.
"No, dear Margie, I've got to
take my chance. To Bay 'I be
lieve' would be only a cowardly
subterfuge that would not even
deceive myself and what ever else
Kitty Malram has been, she has
never been a Har or a coward.
Her words trailed off in *
whisper and sbe went to sleep.
I called the nurse who imme
diately notified Herbert. We
waited all night for her to speak
again.
Once she opened her eyes and
faintly smiled, as Herbert bent
over her, hut she nev.sr spol_e
agatn.
And in the morning Kitty Mg|>
ram was dead.
