Jacob at Bethel
" By Rev. Chcis. O. Bemies
Sunday-school lesson for April 13th: Gen. 28, 10-22. Read Chapters 28-31.
Golden Text : I am with th'ee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou _goest. — Gen. 28, 15.
The Bible, especially in the Old Testa- ment and the four Gospels, is a country-life book. Let us interpret it accordingly. We believe that the Bible is a true record of facts.
BE SURE your sins will track you down. Jacob thought that his tin- derhanded meanness would help God's plans in making him the suc- cessor of his father Isaac. It's only a black-hearted scoundrel who "does evil that good maj' come." Esau vowed to kill Jacob for stealing his blessing and birth- right, whenever their father would die. Rebekah instantly warned her favorite son to run awaj' and remain until Esau cooled down ; but she stayed him long enough to get another rousing blessing for him out of Isaac, who was told that Jacob was going up to his relatives at Haran to get a wife. We despise nowa- days the deceitfully tricky son who gets his old father to favor him in his will above the other brothers and sisters. There's lots of it done through the coun- try.
Jacob sold out cheaper than did Esau, and had to live in exile from his father and mother for many years. But don't forget that Esau stayed at home, managed the estate, inherited all of Isaac's property and had all the rights of the first-born son, except the one thing of receiving the blessmg. Jacob never inherited a cent. Esau got it all and started a new tribe with his heathen wives. Rebekah kiiew that Esau would get over his mad fit after a while, but didn't know that she would never see her favorite again. She lived in domestic trouble with Esau's heathen wives the rest of her life. Trickery brought her misery and separation from Jacob and accomplished nothing good_ to herself or Jacob. A man can't be a gtim- shoe schemer without hurting himself more than anyone else. The cowardly Jacob sneaked off alone and afraid on his long northward journey. Fearing Esau, he must have hot-footed it pretty lively for the first fifty miles, then felt com- paratively safe at Bethel, for this was where his grandfather Abraham had j stopped years before on his way down to Canaan and had built an altar to God. Jacob was homesick and sorry for his treachery to his brother. He was hum- bled. How do I know? Why, God's heavenly comfort comes only to those who repent. You felt mighty bad when you first broke the old home ties. If you had gone out in disgrace, you'd have felt infinitely worse. Jacob's earth couch and smooth stone pillow were a common thing then. A little log or a wooden head-rest was the style, and is yet in many coun- tries. Jacob came of a hard-headed race of people.
God met his repentant misery by the vision of the lighted ladder from earth ■ to heaven. Just notice where the angels came from who walked that ladder. Thev didn't descend from heaven first, but the Bible distinctly declares that the angels began first ascending and .then descend- ing! God renewed his promise to Jacob which He had made to .\braham. Heaven is around us all the time, and most of us are too senseless or taken up with oitr own affairs to realize it. God is not in His heaven. He is here and everywhere. That man has made the greatest discovery of his life who finds that the 'barn, the cultivated field, the meadow, wherever his work calls him, is in continuous turn the gateway of heaven. The housewife, sing- ing gospel hymns about h^r work, dis- covers for herself and family that the home is a gateway to heaven.
The gate of heaven, instead of swingmg outward, swings toward us, le;ting the fulness of heaven flood us round about. If you want to get to heaven, first let heaven into you.
Jacob's Meeting with Esau
By Rev. Chas. O. Bennies Sund.iy-school lesson for .\pril 20th : Gen.
33. 1-15. Read Chapters 32-34.
Golden Text : Be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even
as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
— Eph. 4, 32.
T ACOR had the true instinct of a bar- gain-maker. He closed up the deal with God at Bethel, whereby, if God would prosper him and bring him again to his father's house in peace, he would give Him the tenth of his increase. If God would give him ten tenths of pros- perity Jacob would give Iii:n one tenth!
Well, who wouldn't? But -do you? God wants us to bargain with Him and prove Him out. It's His way, so much for so much. But He always gives us the big end. Most of us have not the nerve to make a square bargain with God. Jacob had. Filled with a new, inspiring pur- pose, he finished his five-hundred-mile journey to Haran, and by special kindness to his cousin Rachel was gratefully wel- comed into his Uncle Laban's house. Here Jacob made another bargain.
He loved Rachel, but had no propertj' to give as a rich dpwry. He figured it up and agreed to work for his keep for seven years for Rachel. Nothing small about that. Seven years is a long time, but they seemed short to the earnest lover. Then Jacob got hit with the boomerang he had thrown at Esau, for Laban tricked him by substituting the elder Leah for Rachel. Although Jacob's disappointment was keen, he bravely took his medicine and started in to work another seven years for his beloved Rachel. Then he wanted to go back home. But Laban. becoming realh' prosperous for the first time in his life under the wise management of Jacob, asked him to name his own wages to stay on with him. Jacob saw the chance of his life, drew up his harmless-looking agree- ment for the off-colored cattle, which seemed to the unthinking Laban to be wonderfully easy terms, and then began to scientifically breed all of Labap's flocks and herds for the off-colored variety.
In six years' time he had succeeded in breeding over to his own account nearly the whole of Laban's live stock. Laban and his sons became indignantly jealous. I don't blame them. Jacob thought it was time to return home, and so with his fam- ily, his servants and his multitude of live stock he quietly slipped away one fine dav without saying good-by. Laban chased him up, and they finalh' m.ade a peace bargain. Jacob was a good bargain- hunter, but he was terribly worried about what his brother Esau would do when they met after an absence of over twentv years. Repentance, humiliation and fear stung him deep. Yet he had faith to be- lieve all would be well, for God appeared to him on the way and reassured him. Yet he used every precaution and divided up his large present to Esau into five flocks and herds with quite a distance between each, so that Esau would be progressively softened and pleased on the instalment plan as each bunch of fine live stock was presented to him. It seems that Esau with his four hundred men started out to meet Jacob with hostile intentions; but Jacob's diplomacy won out. He knew Esau's generous nature, and when thev finalh^ came within sight Jacob prostrated himself seven times to the ground and called him lord, thus recognizing Esau as the rightful heir. Jacob's repentance and humiliation were complete. Esau was deeply moved. They warmly embraced and wept on each other's shoulders like the strong men they were. The one was generousl}- forgiving, the- other deeply repentant. Both had ripened into noble- hearted men.
The neighbor who will not repent of his meanness keeps hell within him. And the neighbor who will not forgive is meaner than the man who has injured him.
The Tomb of the Princess
By Rev. Richard Braunstein AN INFIDEL German princess on her death-bed ordered that her grave be covered with a great granite slab and that around it should i)e placed solid blocks of stone and the whole be fastened together with clamps of iron, and that on the stone should be cut these words : "This burial- place, purchased for all eternity, must never be opened." Thus she meant to proclaim, in a public manner, tliat her grave was to be opened — never.
It happened that a little seed was buried with the princess, a single acorn. It sprouted under its stone covering; its tiny shoot, soft and pliable at first,, found its way through a tiny crevice between two of the slabs. .And there it grew, slowlv but surely, and there it gathered strength until it burst the clamps asunder and lifted the immense blocks and turned the whole structure into a mass of up- heaved rocks. Tlie oak grew to be a mightv tree, and according to the story it "stiil stands oversiiadowing the now opened tomb of the princess.
From the above tale we learn this im-. portant lesson : in every grave there lurks a tiny seed of the resurrection life of Tcsus' Christ. That seed cannot perish, it is germinated by the warm south wind which blows from the Father. It shall grow. It shall be nourished by the sun- shine of the Father's love and claimed by the Christ of the tomb of long ago and bloom everlastingly.
"T CAN'T make you out, that's all," I sai4 big Allen White, standing in a bewildered and somewhat wounded state of mind while his sister Anne put a match to the little fire that he had laid in their rather formidable and unhomehke sitting-room. It was two days before Easter, but Easter came early that year; so early that looking beyond Anne's stiff and spotless window-curtains the fields of "big Allen" stretched away to the creek, still brown and unyielding of any living thing.
"Jest you don't talk to me, Allen," said the girl, getting to her feet and arranging her little white apron jusf so. "Don't talk any more. I've had all I can stand."
"What have ^ou had? I guess you've done the most talking."
Anne, almost lost to a desire to make a face, child fashion, at her big brother, compromised with a little doubled-up fist which she had the good grace to hide be- hind her back, and in some way the war- like gesture comforted her troubled spirit.
"Well, perhaps I've done some talking. Goodness knows I've had good cause. But you've done the giving, Allen White ! Now finish it up. Yoit can give a cake to the fair. Make and give it, if you can— I won't!" And with that, little Anne vanished with a good healthy slam of the door. Allen fol- lowed her to the kitch- en, with a sudden light of understanding breaking upon his dull, kind spirit. It seemed to him as he stood and watched Anne that she perhaps had. after all, something to be angry about. He had never dreamed she would mind his giving the dog away, his own dog, but now as he looked back he saw that Anne must have loved the big Irish setter as much as he himself had. Still, Jean Darrow had needed Chief much more than either he or Anne, and the dog had been his to give if he chose.
"Anne," he said at last, "is it about Chief? I'll get you another dog next time I see a good one for sale, but Jean Dar- row was frightened nights up at the ten- ant-house on old Bailey's farm, so I told her she could have him."
Anne gave a short little laugh.
"Jean Darrow must be gettin' mighty timid all of a sudden," she answered. "And it's not a good trait in a school- teacher, let me tell you that. I've heard there's nothing so catching as fear. First thing you know all the little children in Jean's school will be growing as scary as rabbits. Lot of good they'll be when they grow up 1"
Allen W'hite turned quickly away to hide the little smile he could not control, and came face to face with Anne's tin cake-box, which stood on a table with its door wide open and its two shelves abso- lutely deserted of good things to eat. At sight of it Allen came quickly back to their point at issue, and once more be- sought Anne.
"About the cake," he said cautiously, "Jean's little fair really needs it, I guess. You make it, like a good girl, and if you need anything extra for it I'll drive into town and get it."
He tried not to notice the wrath that sprang into Anne's face. Anne, his little sister, always so frank and sturdy and full of willing friendship, to be trans- formed into this obstinate, stormy, jealous young person ! He could hardly bear it, especially as he thought of the gentle cause of it all.
"You go along, Allen," Anne threw out at last; "I want my kitchen to myself. I don't approve of Jean Darrow's fair — "
"It's to get money enough to start a little library in the school. It's a fine — "
Anne took no notice of the interruption, but went on. "And I'm not going to make a cake for it. My land ! Everything is for Jean Darrow these days. When I've been out and come back to the house, I look around to see what's gone now."
"That's absurd," cried Allen with dig- nity. "All I'vQ given her is the clock out of the spare-room and — Chief."
If'he had looked closely, he would have seen Anne's lips tremble at that, but he was glaring around the room by this time. It took a good deal to make big Allen Wh'ite angry, and Anne had finally achieved the "good deal." Brother and sister stood for a moment like enemies, then suddenly Anne cried :
"Allen, Allen, you're in love with her!" And Allen said very simply, "Yes, I am." The girl pressed both her hands against ^her throat, panting,' ^nd after a moment she asked, "Are you going to marry her?"
The Cake She Would Not Make
By Claire Wallace Flynn
Illustrated by Stockton Mulford
Anne White
looked about her
"Yes," replied the big man, "I am."
Before the burning eyes, the heaving breast, the pent-up emotion of his sister, Allen White fled, leaving Anne to wage the battle by herself. For now it seemed that the desolation she had felt a few moments before was nothing to" this new sorrow.
When Allen married the young school- teacher he would bring her here, here into Anne's home, where she and Allen had lived so happily ever since they had been left young orphans together. Then this no longer would be her little dominion, but Jean's. Doubtless Allen would wish her to live with them, but could she? And no matter how hard she worked for his comfort and happiness, there was someone now whose slightest word and glance counterbal- anced all her brave efforts.
The bleak March winds raced across the fields and came knock- ing at Anne's window sorrowfully. The house was very quiet, for there was not even Chief to speak to, and it is small wonder that Anne's brown head went down until it rested on the table and that a passion of hot tears tore their way from her.
How long she lay there tossed by her loneliness she never knew, but the kitchen was quite shrouded in dusk when she finally dried her eyes and In the other room the little fire had gone out, and there was supper to get and innumerable small duties to be attended to, so Anne tried to be brave in her old way, and smoothed her hair, and set about her preparations, keeping her lips steady, but listening for Allen's footstep on the porch with her heart as well as her ears.
When she had finished laying the table, putting one of her bright geraniums in the center of it and spreading forth her prettiest china as a sort of peace-offering, she went out and stood on the steps look- ing across the south meadow, waiting for him. But he was not in sight. All the little valley lay very quiet and deserted. Early lights twinkled palely from the few farmhouses within her vision, and after one long look in the direction of Bailey's sprawling, ill-kept fields and his row of stark birch-trees, behind which his tenant- house pro- vided Jean Darrow with the semblance of a home during the school term, Anne turned indoors with a shiver. The grayness o f the scene had overcome her, and suddenly it came to her mind that this was Good Friday ! The thought made her shiver a little more, for down be- neath a cer- tain bristling manner the girl was a creature of fine, sensitive thoughts and feelings. Well, she thought, try- ing to cheer herself up, the saddest day and the glad- dest day of all the year were only one day apart. She
had read this in verse somewhere.
By seven o'clock, Allen not having come in, she ate a cheerless meal alone and put his away to keep warm. By eight she was in a panic, for he never had left her like this before. A half-hour later she threw a long cape about her shoulders, lighted
Anne, with a big apron on, was beating up eggs and butter in a huge yellow bowl
a lantern and ran out into the gusty night. Never for a moment did she have a doubt as to the direction she should take, but started across the south meadow to- ward Bailey's wind-break of birches. It was a long walk, and Anne was breathless when she finally reached the tenant-house on the Bailey farm. It was a small affair of two rooms, but Jean Darrow had made a little bower of it and loved it in prefer- ence to boarding in the neighborhood.
Anne knocked at Jean's door, but re- ceived no answer. After a moment she pushed open the little side entrance and found herself in a tiny white bedroom. Beyond she could see into the living-room, and her impulse to enter was checked at the sound of voices, Jean's and Allen's.
Anne, detesting above all things an eaves- dropper, turned to go, but she heard her own name spoken in the other room, and like a true woman was rooted to the spot.
Jean was speaking from the depths of a big armchair before the fire, and as she spoke one pretty hand stroked Chief's head as he stretched beside her.
"My poor little fair," said Jean with a sob in her voice, "is going to be a miserable failure, and I wanted so to get the library started for the children — poor little bookless things most of them ! And it would have been all right if Anne had helped — Anne is such awonder !"
Anne pressed back in the shadow and waited.
"I've asked you not to mention Anne to me," broke in her brother's deep voice. "I'm totally disappointed in her. She has made me miserable to-day — that's why I came here so early!"
"Oh !" cried Anne in her heart, "I've driven him aw-ay from me !"
And Jean's voice answered Allen with : "It's my fault, Allen dear. But after this nothing must come between you and Anne — I won't have it, because I love you both ; yes, don't look so surprised, I love Anne, and have wanted her love in return, but I suppose it is hard for her. She can't realize my side of the question : how lonely and unprotected I am, and how much you've meant to me, how I couldn't help — " Here the sweet voice broke entirely, and Anne heard Allen cry out to her, "Jean ! Jean ! Don't, dear !"
"No," went on Jean Dar- row after a moment, "no, Allen ; it's no use, I can't rob Anne like this. Perhaps some day later, when I've taught her to love me enough to let me share her home, come to me again and ask me. And. Al- len, take Chief back; she must miss h i m fright- fully. I'm afraid we both have been a little cruel to her !"
From her hiding - place Anne saw a tall slim fig- ure rise from the deep chair before the blazing logs and the next moment d i s - appear with a little cry_ of protest within the huge arms of Allen White. Anne put both hands across her eyes, because she had never before been the witness of a love scene, and it sent a sense of shame flaming over her that she should be there.
During the next few moments, with the sound of Jean's sobbing and Allen's slow
Jean Darrow
earnest words of comfort still in her ears, she managed to slip out of the little house, pick up her lantern and start madly across the fields again. Only one word beat at her heart : Jean ! Jean ! Jean ! Jean whs defended her to her own brother! Jean who only wanted to share her home with her! Jean who was as lonely as herself! Jean who loved her ! Jean who back there in the little tenant-house was making the biggest, sacrifice a woman is capable of! This was the Jean she had stooped to be jealous of, to treat with littleness and anger ! Burning with conflicting emotions, she at last reached her own home and entered it with head high and a new spirit winning its way with her.
"I'm glad it's Easter-time," she said, as once more she lighted the fire in the sit- ting-room. "It stands for a new birth, a rising to something we never were before. I've heard it preached often, but it never, never meant anything like this." And she threw on a generous log, thinking of Jean's big fire, and did some strange things with the furniture of the room, making it look more homelike, and set a lighted lamp on the table, with Jean's pic- ture, brought from a dusty drawer, be- neath it.
The kitchen seemed to come to life in like manner under her sud- denly nervous hands. The stove was soon glowing, and Anne, with a big apron on, was beating up eggs and butter in a huge yellow bowl.
The geranium, un- used to such perform- a n c e s at such late hours, threw out a gay pungent odor to cele- brate the event, and as three large pans of a most superior layer- cake were finally put into the oven footsteps and a familiar bark were heard outside. Anne fliew to the door and let Allen in. "Up yet, Anne?" asked Allen in rather a guilty tone.
"Yep," sang out Anne cheerfully. It was so nice to be cheerful again ! "Yep. Why, Allen White, you take Chief right back to Jean. You won't mind the walk, and it is a lonely place for her to be. I didn't realize it before. And, Allen," — all in one breath, — "come back in double- quick time, will you, so you can help me beat the eggs for the filling; the cake is most done. Tell Jean, will you? And I'll be up first thing in the morning to help her with the fair. Those children jnust have their books."
Here Anne halted for breath, and standing on tiptoe took hold of her as- tonished brother's shoulders.
"Allen, Allen," she said with a most unusual softness in her voice, "Easter is a mighty sweet season, isn't it ? Out of the thing that once gave us pain comes a big happiness if only we're wise enough to take it!" "
"What has happened to you, Anne — lit- tle Anne?"
"Sudden change of heart. Isn't that what the minister would call it?" Allen smiled.
"And," she went on, "you had better take advantage of it; I don't know how long I can keep it nice and soft like this."
Here was the old, jolly Anne again; the girl whom Allen could understand and with whom he felt infinitely at home and happy.
"But just what happened?" he insisted. It must have been a big something. Some fool people might ask you if you had had a vision."
"I had," said Anne, and thought again of the two figures standing so close to- gether before the fireplace. A deeper color burned in her cheeks. "A lovely vision;" one I'd only read about in books before this."
"You've one on me," returned Allen, in the latest slang phrase, and Anne choked a little with sudden humor.
"Oh, no," she laughed, "this vision was on you, my dear. There, I'm getting com- mon and horrid, but too much emotion is bad for my nerves. I think I shall have to scold someone before I can feel quite myself again."
"Go ahead and scold," smiled Allen. "I sha'n't mind."
"Thanks, but I'll scold Jean to-morrow, and it will be just as good."
"Ah. Jean!" said Allen. "Well, how- ever this has all come about — "
She turned away from Allen's question- ing look, from his sudden grasp of her hand.
"Give Jean my love," she said, smihng, as she pushed the big fellow out of the door," and come back soon, for I sha'n't have you to myself much longer."

Farm and Fireside, April 12, 191:
A Luncheon-Set of Crochet and Linen
Designed by Evaline Holbrook
HE country mother, who likes her table and home to be as pretty as her city sister's, but who has not the time to spend on theiii, will like the crocheted luncheon- set illustrated on this page. This set is practical for family use, for breakfasts, and for suppers too when the main meal of the day is dinner eaten at noon. The crochet and linen are heavy and durable, wearing extremely well, even if frequently laundered, and it will ma- terially lessen the weekly wash if they are used instead of large tablecloths, with- out hurting the appearance of the table any; making it prettier, in fact, than when covered with a large cover.
The set includes a square centerpiece and twelve square plate doilies and smaller doilies, for butter plates and tum- blers, may be made by using the center star motif and putting the linen hem with its crocheted corners around that. In addition to the centerpiece and the large and small doilies, the set might also in- clude a scarf for the sideboard in the dining-room. Like the centerpiece, this scarf should have a crocheted square at each corner, with the narrow heading crossing the ends and running along the sides.
Napkins might also be made to go with the set. They should be of the same linen, but should have no crochet excepting the beading, inserted all around, just above the hem.
Plain linen in a heavy quality is com- bined with the crochet. A soft, rather loosely woven linen is best, because it looks prettier when done up. Nothing could be lovelier for the purpose than one of the better grades of linen crash sold for kitchen toweling. The same pattern is used for the doilies and the four cor- ners of the centerpiece and it is worked in the kind of crochet with which every country' woman is familiar. It is made of white linen spool thread No. 40 — a thread sold by almost every smsfll country store — and a fine steel crochet hook.

Games for April Recess
By Emily Rose Burt
1-1 ERE are some new games for you to play at recess or after school or on Saturday afternoons in spring.
The Game of Lunch
Any number of children may play this game. One is chosen to be "eater" and another to be "cook." The "cook" goes to each child in turn and whispers the name of some article of food for the school lunch-box. as sandwich, ginger cook}', sweet pickle, snow apple. W hen each child has received a name, the "cook" stands back, and the "eater" comes for- ward. The "lunch" players meanwhile form in a row opposite.
The "eater" now calls out the name of some article of lunch, saying, "I choose an egg sandwich," or "I choose a cran- berry tart."
Whichever child has been given this name by the "cook" must start and run to a given goal before the "eater" catches him. If the "lunch" child succeeds in reaching the goal, he raaj- again take his place with the rest of the "lunch," but if he is caught he is called "eaten" and must stay at the goal. If no one has been given the name which the "eater" happens to call, the "eater," after waiting a due amount of time, must call for something else. The game continues until all the players have had their names correctly guessed by the "eater" and have been caught and left at the goal.
Frog in the Pool
This is a good game to play in muddy weather, though the ground should not be too soft.
Draw a circle about twenty steps in diameter in the dirt with a sharp stick, and then in the exact center place a large stone or a baseball bag. If the ground is not soft enough for the stick mark to show plainly, make a ring with sticks.
Page for Our Boys and Girls
Conducted by Cousin Sally
One child is "it," or "boy," and stands inside the circle line anywhere. The ob- ject of the game is to get all the children into' the circle, so making them "frogs in
the pool."
The children outside the circle must try to run in and touch the stone in the center without being caught, but if they are touched by the one who is "it" while they are within the circle line, they are immedi- ately caught and must remain idle inside the circle, mere "frogs in the pool."
They cannot help the leader catch other "fro.gs," nor can they help the players outside in any way.
A child may try to touch the central stone as often as he likes, and, in fact, he must continue to try to touch it until he is caught. The last one caught is the next leader, or "boy."
Part of the fun in this game is that while some of the players are running in at one side of the circle and the "boy" is trying to catch them, others are getting in from another side, and the "boy" has to be very lively. It is considered very slow for the "boy" to stand on or by the stone all the time.
Rain and Sun
Two goals are chosen in this game. The side of the schoolhouse or the porch-steps and the fence opposite are very suitable for these goals.
One child is "it" and stands between the two goals. The rest of the children are divided equally into two parties, and each party has a goal. One party is called Rain and the other Sun.
W'hen the leader who stands between the goals calls out "Rain," the "Rain" party must run over to the "Sun" goal, each child trying of course to avoid being caught by the one who is in the center.
If the leader calls "Sun," the "Sun" party must run to the "Rain" goal, also trying to avoid being caught. Of course each child must remember whether he is a "raindrop" or a "sunbeam" in order to
know when to run. No child can stay "on goal" after the call to run comes ; if he does, it is the same as if he were caught.
If the leader calls "April," both "Rain" and "Sun" parties run at the same time, each to the opposite goaL This is a splendid time for the leader to catch someone, for the players are quite sure to get mixed up and confused. Any child who is caught must help catch the others and the game goes on until "Rain" and "Sun" have all been caught.
The first child caught, no matter on which side he is, becomes "it" for. the next game.
This is a very nice game to play in April.
Cousin Sally's Letter
lyi Y DEAR Little Cousins — Here it is spring again ; not the make-believe spring of the first warm days of March, but the truly-true spring of April, when we begin to wish the school term were over and we could spend our days in the woods hunting for the first wild flowers. Of course no boy or girl who belongs to our club would ever play hookey from school. Our standards of right and wrong would not permit that. But after school hours, when lessons and chores are finished, let us spend as much time in the woods as we can, learning all about the wild things that are peeping up out of the ground. Let us learn to see their beauty. So many country folks live their whole lives without learning to see. Per- haps some of you know the story of the old farmer who thought his farm nothing but a barren, rocky hillside, until a great artist came to the farm and showed the farmer the beauty of the gray rocks that were piled high on top of one another, and the glorious view, and the wonderful sunrises and sunsets one could see from the hilltop. And when the farmer learned to see those things, he discovered that he really was vtry, very rich, instead of be-
ing poor as he thought all along. Open iour eyes wide, and look for the violets and the little snowdrops and the lovely bit of green moss and the tiny nest of the robin or the ground-sparrow, and learn their beauties so that you may enjoy them. But don't touch the birdies' nests. Re- member that you are a Giant to the Mother Birdie, and when you take her eggs or the little ones from the nest, she feels as badly as your mother would if a Giant took you. No little club member would do that. Go out and have a good time. Learn to love the flowers and the birds, but never, never forget that no club member would be cruel to the helpless things around him. Lovingly,
Cousin Sally.
Letters from Club Members
Dear Cousin Sally — As I have been reading the letters in Farm axd Fireside. which are very interesting, I will write one too.
I go to school in the country, and am in the seventh grade. I live on a big farm. We have fifteen horses and a flock of sheep, and a number of cows and pigs.
Your cousin, Susie Bixler.
Dear Cousix Sally — I have been tak- ing Farm and Fireside about three years, and I have enjoyed reading your page. I am ten years old, and am in the fourth grade. I hope to be in the fifth grade next }"ear. I would like to have you write and tell me about The Gift Club.
Your cousin, Crace Baldwin.
Dear Cousin Sally — I received the let- ter and club button, and I was pleased with the club button. Are there any club girls near me? If so I would like to write to them. I am in the fourth grade at school. I have a little puppy; he is just as bright as can be. I like to draw pic- tures, and«I am going to take lessons some time. Your cousin,
Gwendolyn Spink.
The Fate of the Fire Fairy — By Grace Boteler Sanders
'ATHERINE, come wipe the dishes for Mama," called a sweet voice from the kitchen. "In a minute. Mama," called Katherine from her rocking-chair by the open fire, and Katherine really did intend to come, but she was so tired and sleepy and the seat by the fire was so com- fortable that before the little girl knew it she was nodding again. And right in the midst of her most lovely dream an- other voice called :
"Katherine, oh, Katherine !" The voice sounded as if it came right out of the blazing fire. Katherine looked every- where else, and when she saw no one she looked dreamily at the fire. There he was perched on the red coals, a funny little man in a tightly fitting suit of red and yellow. He wore scarlet shoes with long crooked points. His scarlet cap was pointed too. and hung almost to his waist. His little red eyes shone comically as he smiled at her from out a misty blue veil
which enveloped him from top to toe. "How-de-do, little girl !" he laughed.
"Why-ee, who are you, and where did you come from?" Katherine sat up and rubbed her eyes sleepily. "That's a funny place to stand. You'd bet- ter jump out, or you'll get burned."
"Ho, ho. ho. ho!"
'I'll wash them," cried Katherine
"V/hy, who are you, and where did you come from?"
laughed the little man, crossing his legs and changing his position. "Me get burned ! I guess not. Don't you know that I'm the fire fairy?"
"There's the flower fairy, and the good fairy and — " Katherine numbered every fairy that she had heard of, on her plump fingers. Then she shook her head de- cidedly. "No, I never heard of j-ou."
"That shows how ignorant some people are," fumed the indignant little man. "Why, I'm the greatest fairy on earth. I cook j'our dinner, iron your clothes, warm your houses, run tTie mills, make your lights, build your houses, run your trains. Why, this world wouldn't run two min- utes without us, and still you say you never heard of me. I'm astonished, astonished !"
"I didn't mean to offend you," stam- mered Katherine, "but I don't under- stand."
"You would if you could put two and two together !" returned the fairy sav- agely. "Your teachers at school have told you how trees and plants and other things were changed into coal, but she did not tell you, for she didn't know it herself, that fire fairies are hidden in every ounce of coal. Without us it would be useless.
"Dozens of bad fairies who were sent from fairyland to do penance for their sins are hidden in every lump of coal. Our king doesn't allow his subjects to be punished as they were in the olden time, but when they do wrong he banishes them to the coal-mines, and they must stay there until they are good enough to go back to the fairies' heaven."
"How interesting I" cried Katherine, her dark €yes shining. "But what do you do. Mr. Fairy ?"
"When we are dug out of the ground, we have still other work to do. We are taken from the mine and loaded on to cars and distributed all over the whole country. If we feed the hungrj' and warm the needy and do our very best, when the coal falls to ashes we are sent back to the king's palace to claim our
reward. I'll venture you'll think of me hereafter every time you pick up a lump of coal. Now, good- by !"
"Oh, take me with you, dear fairy !" cried Katherine, jumping to her feet and holding out her hands. "I have read in so many of my story-books how lit- tle girls and boys go to fairyland. Dear, kind fairy% take me !"
"Out king said to bring you along," he laughed, kicking Katherine lightly with the toe of his shoe. "Now, I guess you'll do. Jump on !"
The cheek which the fairy's slipper touched burned like fire. Katherine grew so small that she was able to jump on to the broomstick behind the fairy. In a moment more up the}' were gone. Up through the deep-throated chimney they flew and floated out on the sky, until they reached a great door of golden bronze. On it in diamond letters were the words "The Palace of the King."
At first Katherine could not open her eyes because of the wonderful light. When she did, she saw a beautiful room. Great fire ropes formed the arched ceiling which glittered like gold. The floor was of quavering, molten gold. Katherine was afraid to touch it with her little red slippers lest she should sink beneath the beautiful river. With a smile of under- standing the fire fairy took her in his arms and ran swiftly toward the throne which was in the far end of the room.
The king, who had the kindest face which Katherine had ever seen, held out his scepter. "Welcome home, my Pet- truchio," he breathed solemnly.
Pettruchio dropped to his knee and kissed the kingly hand. "May the smiles of heaven attend thee, O King!" he mur- mured. "And will it please your royal highness to speak a word to this earth child whom thou permittest me to bring into thy domains?"
The king patted the empty chair be- side him. "Place her here, good Pet- truchio, that she may see the blessing of righteous living."
It was a most happy day. Katherine, at the king's right hand, watched the admin- istering of justice. She ate choice food which had been prepared for him and served from golden dishes. She played in the flower-garden, plucked fadeless lilies and was loaded down with presents. Before if was time for her to go home
Pettruchio led her to the underground cavern where the imprisoned fairies lay. She heard their shouts of glee when the miners' picks struck the ground. "Let us out," they cried, "and we'll do our work so faithfully that you will never need to complain of us again."
And immediately Katherine remem- bered those unwashed, tormenting d.shcs. "Oh, dear fairy, take me home," she cried, "and I'll try to do my duty too."
Swiftly they flew out into the night, and soon they were back in the little house.
The lamp was still burning in the front room. This time the fairy glided through the front door. "Good-by, my dear ! ' he called, slamming the door.
Much startled, Katherine sprang to her feet. The fair\' was gone, but the un- washed dishes still stood on the table. Her mother was wearily filling the pan with hot water. "I'll wash them, dearest," cried Katherine with a skip. "You won't have to scold again." And she never did.
Katherine stood on a floor of quavering, molten gold

This is Ralph Gullett to whom Woman's Home Companion awarded $100 as a "Better Babies*' and rural prize at the Na- tional Western Stock Association Show in Denver.
Ralph lives on a small ranch near Golden, Colorado. His score averaged 96.70.
But what about the BABIES?
Are children really more valuable than hogs ?
EVERY year you spend thousands of dollars and hours of patient toil improving the breed of your live stock. You study what to feed them to fatten them and keep them healthy.
How much time have you spent this year studying how to make your baby a healthier baby than you were?
Two Iowa women started a revolution — a revolution of peace and health — when they started judging babies at the State Fair just as carefully as hogs have been judged. They measured the little bodies, they tested the little brains, and they awarded prizes, not to the pret- tiest babies, but to the healthiest and brightest babies.
The new idea has spread. "Better Babies" is the cry to-day. It has come to stay. You're going to be big enough, to raise good hogs and still have time to raise "Better Babies."
The Woman's Home Companion is the mother solve. Keep up with it through the Woman's
in this glorious revolution. It gives prizes for Home Companion.

The Potato Attractively Dished
Recipes by Alice Margaret Ashton
Farm and Fireside, April 12, 1913
THE country woman who takes a justitiable pride in her table often feels herself on an unequal footing with the town sister who has the markets with their tempting varieties at her ver\- door.
The country woman's opportunity lies in her ability to make daint\' and tempting dishes from the plain foods at her com- mand, rather than in experimenting with unusual or unseasonable materials.
The potato, in itself a plain and homely enough vegetable, may be made the foun- dation of a delicious luncheon or supper, or an important part of a wholesome and satisfying dinner.
Boiled Potatoes — A famous Irish cook gives this as her secret for the delicious- ness of her "plain" boiled potatoes. Drop the potatoes into boiling salted water.
(LarnAt Rxclunlve Carpet Aweep«r .Munufactarpm In thf^ World]
Baked Potato. Stuffed
Leave on the jackets unless the potatoes are more than three months old. Boil moderately until tender. If new potatoes boil to pieces, steam them instead. When done, drain immediately, toss gentb'" in the kettle, and leave covered a few min- utes in a warm place.
Baked Potatoes, Stuffed — Bake smooth, medium-sized potatoes in a moderate oven. 'This generalh- requires about forty- five minutes. Take from the oven, cut in two, and remove the inside with a fork. Mash this thoroughly or put through the ricer, and season with salt and white pepper. Have ready enough hot cream to moisten the potatoes slightly, and a cupful of grated cheese for each half- dozen potatoes. Mix this all thoroughly, beat up until light, and refill the jackets. Set in the oven for five minutes, and serve.
Mashed Potatoes with Peas — Mash po- tatoes thoroughly, season, moisten with a little hot cream, and beat until light and feather}'. Have ready some freshly cooked or canned peas with a thickened cream sauce. Line a deep dish with the potatoes, laying them in lightly. Pour the peas in the center, and serve verj' hot.
To Use Small Potatoes — Among the first new potatoes there are always many small ones. They may be used in a variety of ways.
Scrape some of the smallest ones, and cook with green peas ; when done, add cream, and thicken slightly.
Boil a quantity in their jackets. While they boil prepare a sauce by heating a pint of rich milk, seasoning with salt and pepper and thickening with a tablespoon- ful each of flour and butter blended. Drain the potatoes, and allow them to stand a few minutes. Rub off the loosened skins-, and drop whole into the hot sauce.
Potato Croquettes — Beat an egg thor- oughly. Have ready some dry bread- crumbs. Mash a cupful of potatoes thoroughly, season with salt, a tablespoon- ful of cream, and stir into it half of the beaten egg. Form the potato into rather small balls with the hands, roll first in the remaining egg, then in the crumbs, and set nvycLv in a cool place for several hours. Just before serving fry a golden brown in deep fat. Garnish with slices of hard- boiled eggs.
Potato Salad with French Dressing — Those who do not like olive-oil in salad- dressing will be pleased with this.
Slice or chop fine cold boiled potatoes to make four cupfuls. Slice fine two medium- sized onions. Stir lighth- together. A small quantity of minced chicken or veal, or salmon, or other cold fish, is a desirable addition, but not essential.
French Dressing — Take one cupful of vinegar and water, more or less sour, according to taste. Put it into a double boiler with one tablespoonful of butter, one small teaspoonful of salt and one-half teaspoonful of pepper. (If preferred, use half paprika and half pepper.) Add one tablespoonful of sugar and one teaspoon- ful of mustard.^ The mustard can be omitted, if not liked, or double the quan- tity can be used, without injury to the salad.
Beat three eggs thoroughly, and stir them slowly into the mixture, cooking un- til it is of the consistenc\- of boiled cus- tard. Take off fire, and add one-half cupful of cream, sweet or sour.
When cold, pour it over the potato ready in the salad-dish, and toss lightly with a fork. Set away, and keep as cold as possible till used.
The prettiest way of serving is on fresh lettuce-leaves, in individual dishes, the top garnished with slices of hard-boiled eggs. It may also be heaped on a platter spread with lettuce-leaves, the top garnished with eggs, and the dish passed about the table.
Potato Sticks — Pare large potatoes, and cut into "sticks" about two inches long and half an inch square. Fry in deep fat.
"Whoopee! It's Jell-O!"
That is the way Jell-0 is greeted bv the little folks.
They know what is good. Their judg- ment is unreliable in many matters, but you can leave it to them to determine whether anything to eat tastes good or not. j Evei-j-body likes Jell-0. While it can be i made up into some of the lightest and most exqtiisitely dainty desserts that women like , to prepare, it furnishes the most substantial j kind also.
One of the greatest charms of Jell-0 ^es- i sert making is the almost endless varietj- of forms into which it can be made — and always without any possibilitj' of mistake.
A delicious big JeU-O dessert can be made in a minute, and at a cost of ten cents.
No cooking, no fussing. Simply add boiling water to the powder.
There are seven flavors of Jell-0 : Straw- beny, Raspberry, Lemon, Orange, Cherr>-, Peach, Chocolate.
Sold by grocers and general stores, 10 cents each. If you caimot get JeU-0 where you trade, i send us 30 cents and we wiU send you three ; packages by parcel post.

If yoo have a few spare hourf each day. or a few days a week, or if ymi can give us your fuU time, this is your chance to make more muuey thao you ever earned lefore.
Potato Loaf
Scrape, and drop into deep fat, frying a golden brown. Drain on unglazed paper, and sprinkle with salt. These potatoes look very tempting arranged around a plaUer of meat, or they may be served alone.
Potato Loaf— This is a nourishing dish, taking the place of both potatoes and meat for lunch or supper. Beat two eggs in a mixing-howl, add to this a cupful of bread-crumbs, a cupful of hot mashed potatoes and one cupful each of ground walnut-meats and peanuts from which the brown covering has been removed. Mix this together thoroughly with the' hands, season liberally with salt and pep- per, and if it seems very dry add a little hot milk. Form this into a loaf, and place in a baking-dish. Bake in a moderate nven for half an hour, basting with a little beef-stock or hot water and melted butter -Serve hot on a garnished platter, and cut in slices. It will be a rich, dark Color like a meat loaf and will serve six persons.
Potato Croquettes
Drain and sprinkle with salt. These sticks make a tempting garnish for cold meats or a plain omelet.
Potato Pie — This may be made from left-over mashed potatoes and cold meat or chicken, as well as from materials prepared purposely. Line a baking-dish with mashed potato. Free the chicken from bone and skin, and cut in small bits, or put through the food-chopper. Make a sauce of one cupful of milk, salt, pepper, a bit of butter and a heaping teaspoonful of flour, and pour over the chicken. Put this in the lined dish, and cover with the remaining potato. Dot the top with but- ter, and brown in the oven. Serve from the baking-dish.
Potato Soup — Carefully made, this is a very nourishing soup, excellent for in- valids or children and for all persons of weak digestion.
Wash, pare and slice a half-dozen raw potatoes ; cold boiled ones will do. Put them into a deep stew-pan or kettle with two quarts of water, and add a small piece of meat or a cupful of meat-stock. A slice of salt pork is good and preferred by some. Left-over pieces of steak or the bones of a roast are excellent for this purpose, .'^nd the soup can be made very palatable without usin.g meat.
Put into the pot a handful of washed rice and a very small onion sliced. Maca- roni, broken into bits, is a valuable addi- tion to the soup, but not strictly necessary.
.Simmer gently for three hours ; do not let it boil hard at any time. If the water evaporates and leases the soup scanty or too thick, add the desired quantity of boiling wafer. Then let all boil up to- gether gently for five minutes. Remove from the fire, and season carefully with salt and pepper. .\ vcrv little celery-salt improves the flavor. Some like also a touch of paprika.
Take out the bone and large pieces of meat. If liked thin, strain through a colander. We prefer it without straining. If no meat has been used, add a table- spoonful of butter and. if possible, a small cupful of sweet cream or rich milk. The cream is desirable in any case.
