THE FLESHEBTON AOVANOE. My dear Boys and Girls: â€" I have just come across a little poem which reminds me of the sun upon these lovely bright days, and when I start to think about the sun, that makes me think next of all of the boys and girls who have promised to be Helpers and to scatter "rays of sunshine," for in order to scatter anything so bright as the sunshine, we must our- selves be bright and cheerful. You know that these little lines really mean that we should^ do every- thing we can for others that will help them and do everything we do in the very happiest way possible. Just think if you only go round with a happy smiling face all the day long, from the time you get out of your bed { in the morning until the time comes for you to be tucked up at night, you will be helping somebody. The boy or girl who is happv and cheerful simply cannot help being a "HELPEE." Here are two little verses which mado me think of the sunshine: n.â€" SMILES. Smile a little, smile a little, As ycu go along. Not alone when life is pleasant. But when things go wrong. Care delights to see you frowning. Loves to hear you sigh; Turn a smiling face upon her â€" Quick the dame will fly. Smile upon the troubled pilgrims Whom you pass and meet; Frowns are thorns,and smiles are blossoms Oft for weary feet. Do not make the way seem harder By a sullen face; Smile a little, smile a little. Brighten up the place. A GAME FOR YOU. Do yon know the game of "Bounce- about?" It is played with stones or pebbles, and can be played by any number of players. Each person must choose a nice smooth pebble, One player is to PLEDGE FOR HELPERS. "Do a little kindness to someone every day. Scatter rays of sunshine all along^ the way." I pledge myself in the ser- vice of my King and Country to DO MY BEST IN MY DAILY WORK, wherever it may be, to help others wherever possible, and to endeavor in every way to make myself A GOOD CITI- ZEN. Date Name Age Address â€" tiirow his pebble dowu in the centre and the game is to see who can get the most marks by shooting their peb- bles at the one in the centre. For instance, the first player hitting the pebble once, gains ten marks, when he has the right to throw again from the spot where his pebble has stopped. He may keep on throwing until he makes a miss and it is then the turn of the next player. A certain number should be fixed upon as the winning luimber before the game starts. The player who first reaches tuis will have won the game. Fifty or one hundred marks would be about the number to rhoosp. BlltDS SEEK BY OUB HELPERS. The bird described by Erie Day seems to belong to the Warbler family. There are a great many varieties of warblers. If you get a chance, Eric, to go close enough to your friend's nest, you may be able to complete the proof later on by a sight of the eggs, which are a kind of muddy white cov- ered with reddlsb brown spots or splashes. i'^or other Helpers who may see this bird, I will give a description of him. His name is the black-throated war- bler. He has a greyish blue back, and a black face. His whistle is rather harsh, almost as though the note was strangled as he sings. He is fond of building in low-lying bushes. Who would like to guess the name of a bird seen by Alice Morris. Here is the description, as given in this Helper's letter: â€" "a bird with scarlet or red head and breast, black and white wings, and a black back, end of wings and tail." lam afraid from your description, Alice, that this bird is one belonging to a rather mischievous family. How- ever, we will see if some other Help- ers can guess his name before I tell you. One week to guess. biddz.es. answers to last week's RIDDLES.

And the elders of the city came to meet him trembling, and said, Comest thou peaceably? 5 And he said. Peaceably: I am come to sacriflce unto Jehovah: sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacriflce. And he sanctified Jesse and his sons, and called them to the sacrifice. 6 And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Ellab, and said. Surely Jehovah's anointed Is before him. 7 But Jehovah said unto Samuel. Look not on his countenance, or ob the height of his stature; because I have rejected him : tor Jehovah seeth not as man seeth; tor man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart, 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab, and MINNESOTA INDIAN IS NOW 129 YEARS OLD At CmM L«k«.

Neither hath Jehovah chosen this. 10 And Jesse made seven of his sons to pass before Samuel. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Jehovah hath not chosen these. 11 And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all they children? And he said. There remalneth yet the youngest, and, behold, he is keeping the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him; for we will not sit down till he come hither. 12 And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look upon. And Jehovah said. Arise, anoint him; this is he. 13 Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of Jehovah came mightily upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. Copyright, 1901, by T. Nelson & Sons. Used by permission. Comments. Verse 4, Immediately after the last lesson Samuel Indignantly wrested the kingdom from Saul and went into mourning. The old prophet was dis- appointed In his king. Jehovah came to Samuel and directed him toward the new king, a son of Jesse. Historic Bethlehem is just six miles south of Jerusalem. The city fathers were be- tween two flres. They wanted to please both Saul and Samuel. Verse 5. Before any sacred act the Israelite "sanctified himself" by cere- monial ablutions. At this time Jesse was an old man. He was a descendant of Ruth and Boaz. Samuel also cere- monially set apart Jesse and his SODS. Verse 6. The eldest son was strong and athletic, every inch a king In ap- pearance. Verse 7. Samuel himself is about to receive a lesson as to the difference between human and divine estimation of true manhood. Verse 8. After the eldest was re- jected, Jesse had no means of know- ing which of the other would be chosen. How Jehovah communicated bis choice to Samuel Is not stated. Verse 9. As the sons of Jesse passed before him, Samuel was obliged to say that Jehovah had not chosen any one of them. Verse 10. There were seven of the sons that passed In review â€" all the sons whom Jesse thought to be eligible. Verse 11. Samuel was puzzled. Jesse, like most parents, had failed to realize that his youngest was more than a child- He had not thought of him as even approaching manhood. Especially he could not have thought of him as the coming king. Verse 12. The word "ruddy" may refer to the redness of his cheeks, or to red hair, or to both. Among people whose hair was generally black, red hair was considered a mark of beauty. Jehovah permitted Samuel to be no longer In doubt Verse 13. The prophet poured the oil of anointing upon David's head. It Is possible that Jesse and the other sous looked upon the ceremony as simply the setting apart of David to be trained In Samuel's school. David was a stripling of fifteen years of age. Samuel's mission at Bethlehem was accomplished, and he retunied to his home. llluatrMed Truth The godlike rlalon takes Into con- sideration not only what man Is, but On the 28th of March, 1795, in the presence of British and Spanish officers the flag of England was hoisted over Fort \ootka from which the Spanish Hag liad been hauled down. Without a shot fired in anger the Empire had come into possession of the great Pacitic coast after several years of conflict with the Dons, They had claimed when the tirst British explorers came, that all the coast was theirs by right of discovery, and the buildings at Fort N'ootka had been burned and the ves- sels there taken prize by the Spanisli ou one occasion, A convention was called by the two nations, meeting in - Madrid on Janu- ary 11, 1794, to consider the Xootka troubles. The agreement reached was that officers of the two countries were to repair as soon as possible to Fort Xootka and at the spot where the tires had occurred, the British flag was to be unfurled with all ceremonies, after which the officers of the two nations were to withdraw with their followers. The delegates of the races sailed on one ship from Monterey for the Pacific. Upon their arrival the Spaniards at once set to work to dismantle the fort and to load all the guns on the vessel they had arrived upon. By the 28th of March that task was completed. Then the representatives of Britain and !^l);iin mot in the appointed place, ex- changed declarations and counter- declarations and ran up to the top of ;i Hag staff erected for the occasion the flag of the British. Then the Span- iard gave orders for all his troops to quit the coast. In this simple act Spain gave up all her extravagant i-lainis to ;ill the lands in the West, Buster Keaton, who has been en- gaged to play with Bertie, the Lamb, in the Metro production of "The New Henrietta,' to be supervised in person by Winchell Smith, has signed another contract covering a term of years by which he will nuxke 8 two-reel comedies a year for Joseph M, Scbenck. The pictures are to be made at Metro studios in Hollywood, California, and wUl be released by Metro, They will be produced under the direction of Lou Anger. ' ' Harriet, the Piper, ' ' will be the first story to be filmed by Mildred Har- ris Chaplin under the direction of Lloyd Ingraham, who was secured by her at the conclusion of his contract with Thomas H. Ince, where he directed several of the Douglas MacLean and Doris May features. Mr. Ingraham is now putting the script of the story iu shape and production details will be taken up this week . The part of the soldier hero in "Civilian Clothes," which Paramount has begun to produce, will be played by Thomas Meighan. In Los Angeles this comedy ran as a stage play for over thirty weeks, breaking all west- ern records. IN A FRENCH CHATEAU BY M. BETHAM-EDWARDS. (Author of " From an lalington Window," " Hearta of Alaace, etc.) Pauline Frederick has invested iu a new home at Beverly Hills, California, valued at $75,000. She took possession last week and is so enthusiastic over her estate that it is said by members of her company that no conversation can be edged in because of the alternate boasting of the star and her director, Frank Lloyd, who owns one of the finest improved ranches iu the San Fernando Viilley, above Los Angeles. The veteran star, William H. Crane, has begun work with the Shurtleff Company in his original part in the filming of Winchell Smith's comedy, "The New Henrietta." Claire DuBrey, the talented young player formerly with Charles Bay, has been engaged by Robert Brunton to support J. Warren eKrrigan in his lat- est production, ' ' The House of Whis- pers.

Illustration.â€" A rich man who was about to build for himself a mansion, went with the contractor to select the wood for inside work. The latter spied a lot of samples of unfinished wood, smd began to turn them over, tossing aside some and keeping hold of others. His companlan looked dis- appohited. "I think this is the best thing here," he said, holding up a piece of highly polished wood. The contractor laughed. "Why. that is nothing but soft pine," he explained. "All there Is to it is on the outside. Now, here Is a piece of mahogany. It doesn't look well to you, but I see It as It will look when the polishers have done their work."

Fiauk Borzage 's second picture for Cosmopolitan Films has been held up by the illness of his star, Kitty Gor- don, and the severe weather conditions iu the east, where the picture is being made. Letters from the director say that the difficulties of movie makers during the recent blizzards along the Atlantic slope have been innumerable and have made the producers and work- ers i-ast many a longing eye toward sunny California. Borzage first Cosmo- politan production, "Humoresque, '' which is to be released, is said to be wonderfully pieturesque upon its real- istic side. "What Happenea to Jones" will be Bryant Washburn's next. Twenty years ago this farce, one of the first written by George Broadhurst, was a reigning success, and it has since been played continuously by stock compan- ies. Blanche Sweet's next, which will be made under the guidance of Henry King, will be considerable of a novelty. It will oe .'in aeroplane story, with many of its scenes made in the air. The .lesse D.

What 's become of the old-fashioned man that used to drive up the alley and offer to throw a load of wood over the back fence for $1.26. Two months later an anc-ent Schloss of .Southern Germany was en fete. The heir of what until 1870 â€" 1, had been an independent princedom was expect- ed home for a brief rest, also for the ceremony of betrothal. The hero of the noble exploits just recorded was to-day Lieutenant-Colonel, and on bis breast he proudly wore the Iron Cross. Fittingly, trerefore, waved a Prussian flag with that of his own house from the ancestral chateau, and in his hon- our all the villagers kept holiday. A very unpoetic old building was that glass that pawnbrokers use when valu- ox sky-blue flax, Indian corn and to- bacco, the flatness broken '-y orchards. Square and gaunt it rose abruptly from a wooded hill, its enormous height en- hanced by a low roof, having a small uointed turret at each corner, and by its bare grey walls, only a narrow win- dow visible here and there. But the great loftiness and thickness of the walls, the battered eseutchions, en- graved over the portico bespoke medi- aeval grandeur. The Schlosa indeed had once been a castle, the portal re- placed a portcullis, and fruit trees and verdure filled a feudal moat. Moderni- zation, however, was the order of the day iu the front of the building. Here was a small but well-kept terraced gar- den, stone steps leading from one sapce to the other, below a little fountain trickling pleasantly on the lawn. And around and above, apple and pear trees hemmed in the precincts. Three per- sous were to day enjoying the warm sunshine and surprise upon surprise on the upper terrace. The tirst was a benevolent, homely- looking woman advanced in years, and whose speech, demeanour and air of authority proclaimed the aunt, chape- rone, or guardian. By her side, over an open deal case knelt a typical Teu- tonic beauty, blue-eyed, flaxen-haired, and the personification of sturdy health- fulness. â-  ' Ac, Gott, Prince, ' ' said the duenna, wiping away a contented tear. "How good to good to have you here! As 1 always say, nothing cheers us women so much as to see a pair of trouser^i about the place! " • ' Well, Countess, I can only say that the rustle of a frock is equally cheering to us poor fellows. Bu*, my little Ottilie, what is her opinion 1 ' ' His little Ottilie was at that moment taking out treasures from tfie case â€" now a collar of finest Valenciennes lace, now a sable muff, now a large black lace shawl from famous Chantillv looms. "The very thing for you, Aunte, dear! ""she exclaimed, and jump- ing up, carefully adjusted it to the elder lady's shoulders, ' ' And the very thing I wanted, ' ' said the old Grafin, " Lieber Gott! How many years is it since I bought my old black lace shawlf Nigh ou forty I do believe. I rememb r the purchase so well, for I always had a first peep at our late Queen's left-offs. My maid knew the good woman who hawked them round, only to especial customers of course. She used to carry the lot in a basket on her head, and no one was supposed to know what it contained. And with my old lace shaw! I bought the very stomacher of Italian guipure I have on at this moment. My! Ottiliechen, your trousseau won t cost you much now. Did one ever see such silk stockings and such shifts! â€" trim- med with Houiton, and of lawn so tine that you can almost see through it! " Whilst the worthy matron chatted on, complacently smoking a cigarette fiom an embossed silver case, an item of his recent loot, the wearer of the iron cross watched his bride elect. From time to time he answered an ecstatic burst of thanks by a pressure of her hand, receiving in return just a touch of full rosy lips. Never had the un- travelled young Highness seen such ;i display of French lingerie, tissues and trinkets, Lyons silk petticoats, hand- painted fans, gold-stoppered scent bot- tles, dainty reticules, all these had been thought of by her chivalrous lover. "How good of you. Cousin!" she said, rising as an old man-of-all-work in shabby livery appeared with a tea- tray. "But what did you keep for yourself i ' ' A look, not of shame, rather of mo- mentary embarrassment, passed over the young man 's countenance, as he gave the Countess his arm, and all three followed the tea-tray. At the further end of the terraced garden a steep ascent led to a large wooden pavilion, reached by a spiral staircase, the lower part of which was open, thus being adapted for use iu summer. The upper was walled and plastered, so that it could be enjoyed on cool autumn days. '•Ahl the heavenly view, how glad I am to behold it once more â€" " "You may well say that, Fritzchen! What frights we have endured on your account! " All three gazed for a few minutes oai the vast prospect, beyond the thickly massed foliage of the Schloss, a sunlit river threading orchards and cornfields, far, very far away, just discernible in clear weather the spires and hoary old fortress of the little Capital, out- lined against the horizon. ' ' I will now answer your question, my little cousin," began the Lieuten- ant-Colonel, as they sat down to tea and the old man-servant had left them. ' ' Y'ou must know Gnadige Frau, ' ' ho added, turning to the Countess, "the bulk of confiscated property, the prize- money of war, goes to the State, wc who carry out orders are only sup- posed to retain a keepsake, some trifl- ing memento of our achievements. For you, my Aunt, I retained this vinaigrette in embossed silver, I re- membered your headaches. For my darlin gfiancee, this amethyst brace- let, and for myself a ring â€" a man 's ring, ' ' he added with the look of compunction he had shown just be- fore. Was it because on second thoughts he had coveted the crowning treasure of the casket? ' ' Dear little Fritz, I must embrace you. A i'reuch viniagrette, and my poor head uvhes oftener than ever!" Bapturuusiy she sniffed the luvigor- atiug perfume again and again. As rapturously, Uttilie clauped the giver's hand, theu fastened the slender string of gold and amethysts round her more than pluuip arm, "And uow let us see your ring," said the elder lady. "When iiurt has cleared away the tea-things you shall be obeyed," said the ull'icei', an he took a third cigarette from a chased silver case, another item of the great loot. "Ahl those cursed Freuchiueu know what good tobacco is like. Ail the better luck for us that they always provide themselves with the very best of everything." , The edge of the ladies' exuberance over their treasure-trove was now some- what taken oil', and they followed his long, acqoiaitive, daw-like fingers with eager eyes. iiut here imagination had been un- equal to the calls upon it. When iheir hero produced his inipearled box with the triumphant slowness or a aecro- maucer about to show off his last and greatest coup, both aunt and niece were duinfounded. With held breath and dilated eyes they gazed upon the flash- ing emeraid, for awhile, unable to utter a word. â-  • Got in Hiuunel, Fritzchen! ' ' at last broke out the old Gralin. "bell it to a Kuthschild, boy. I'ou would get the wherewithal to make the bchlosb worthy of your aacestorsl " "-Nay, my aunt, let the Schlosa be.

Jealousy lurks in higii places, as you know. Anyhow no one must ever learn how you came by such a thing â€" a aniall fortune in itself. ' ' "There is something in what you say, Gnadige i'rau. We will think about it. Up to the present moment I have beei discretion itself, uot once either by night or by day has this precious little case been out of my waistcoat pocket. I have never indeed as yot tried it on. ' ' • ' Well, an we are aU safe from obser- vation here, do so now," Ottilie said, dying with curiosity to know whether or no tills superb ring would lit him, and if not, whether she could uot by blandishments secure it for herself. â-  ' Ves, let us see how it looks on your finger. Prince," added the Grann, and both ladies moved nearer to the little jewel case. But vainly the young man 's muscu- lar, sinewy, white fingers cauld raise the lid. Again and again he essayed, again and again he searched for the sign of a spring. Then he took out the kind of eye- had found invaluable in more than one raid. "No, curse the thing! Sing and box seem all of a piece, but we'll baffle the contrivers anyhow â€" ' ' " Vou will never smash the glass, why you might injure the stone," put in the girl. "Of what mortal use is it here/ But don 't be afraid, darling, I 'm not so inexpert in these matters as you suppose, ' ' So saying he brought out a pair of minute glass-cutters' tools, and very dexterously without injuring either pearled frame or glass. No accomp- lished hous breaker could have done the job more neatly. "My! How grand it will make you look! ' ' cried the younger Grafin. • ' I only wish it had been small enough for me, ' ' she added as she watched her lover place it on the little finger of his left hand. "I am not so sure about that, it is a tight fit â€" " As he spoke he pressed dowu the ring, a second later falling back with a piercing shriek. He had touched a secret spring, with sharp incision set- ting free the dark metallic poison con- cealed in the bezel and which now trickled down his fingers. Far and near resounded that frenzied cry, but before even serving-folks could' reach the pavilion the deadly venom had done its work. Their young master, a quarter of an hour before full of life, self exaltation and greedy ambition, now hideous to behold, had paid his scot to the outraged gods. Could the most pitiful here resent Pandora's giftt (To be confined.) The Distant Hills Like filmy curtains spread along the distant horizon, tlie jagged crags and peaks of the great range seem to hang from the skies, draped with dark- ened shadows, shining like glistering silk where the sun touches their snowy folds. It was early in the after- noon. We had passed over the great shuddering trestle at the huge horse- shoe bend in the river near Bicker- dike on the Canadian National. It makes one gasp to gaze from its height. One lady took a peep and then lay down in a quiet faint till we reached the other side. Then, lifting our eyes, we saw serene and far, those eternal hills, measuring the majestic peace of the infinite. Behind them lies unfathomable mystery. They cur- tain off our little time-world with Its crawling wheels, from unknown Ufa, He who would pass beyond those bounds must transcend the experi- ences of ordinary humanity. So It has seemed to mankind In every age, as when the Psalmist said: "I will :ift up mine eyes to the hills, whence cometh my help." Coleridge alone seems to have given adequate expres- sion In his hymn In "the Valley of Chamounix" to the emotions stirred by the unapproachable sublimity of great mountains. Robeon, Logan, Shasta, Hood, Baker, Tacoma, and such peaks leave an Indelible impres- sion. Lllie the ocean and the sky, no familiarity tames tbelr grandeur.
