Since they had grown so much bigger they certainly did look very different for, do you know, one of the other two sisters left wasn‘t like Squatty one bit. She had a long neck and long legs and, instead of her beak being short like Squatty‘s, it was long and pointed. She was a little cross, too, and bossed all the others around. How would it be it wo call her Bridget? She ate just as much, even more, sometimes than Squatty, who was so fat, but she just stayed thin. I wonder why that is, don‘t you? Are you fatter than your little sister? Or perhaps you are the thin kind. Well, anyway, we have only one chicky left, haven‘t we? We haven‘t said anything about it, but you know I wanted to I‘m sure you remember last week we named one of the little chicks. We called hor Squatty, didn‘t we? Because she was so short and fat and had such funny short bill. Then, of course, we named Jimmie Chick a long time ago, didn‘t we?

Mamma Lady loved to show her off and now she picked her up and ,said to Billy, "Isn‘t she a beauty? and son, besides being so beautiful her body is made just right, so she will lay far more eggs than Bridget or Squatty, perhaps fmore than both of them put together. How is that for a chicken. In fact, Billy, she is such a fine chicken I believe we will show her too, along with Jimmie, at the show when she grows a little bigger." Billy looked at her with admiring eyes, then said, "Well, we will need to have a pretty nice name for her. I tell you, Mammy, she‘s so white let us call her "Lily, wifite as a Hly."

It was usual for men to linâ€" ger two or three days upon the‘ : We may not know, we cannot tell What pains he had to bear. We can but indicate some of the eleâ€" ments which may bave cntered into his desperate distress No doubt Jesus, who was but some thirty years old, may have shared man‘s natural shrinking from death, and the death to which he must look forward was one peculiarly painful and normally very slow. But others before and since have faced a painful death bravely and quietly, and we may be sure that this does not account for Jesus‘ "Agony." It may well have come to Jesus with overwhelming horror that he, a Jew, the lover of his people, was to be executed by the Roâ€" mans. Better far, perhaps, that he might die like the prophets at the hands of his own people. â€" Moreover, ’death by crucifixion, the "hanging upon a tree," seemed to bring with it the curse of the Law, and therefore of God, the Divine Author of the Law. of the Law. Could e really be the Son of God, if God allowed this to be. fall him? Again, if he were handed over to the Romans, it would mean that he had failed. His religious reâ€" volution, symbolized by the cleansing of the Temple, would have collaps%d.] and he was to be done to death as another political fanatic, misunderâ€" stood, contemptuously removed. Why should the disciples fall asleep through "grief"? v. 45. Grief tends "o keep people awake. No doubt the disâ€" ciples may have been more or less aware of the storm that was about to burst over their heads, but it looks as if "from grief" was put in by the Evangelist as some sort of excuse. It is, on the whole, more likely that the disciples, assuming that Jesus proposâ€" ed to spend the night on the Mount of Olives and to sleep there himself, had simply lain down in the ordinary way, and fallen asleep. What was it that caused the great distress of Jesus? We are very much out of our depth when we attempt to define the thoughts and feelings of Jesus at this time. The disciples are to pray that they enter not into "temptation." We are reminded of the conclusion of the Lord‘s Prayer. The word translated "temptation‘" seems to mean rather "fAery trial," such a searching test as Peter underwent when accused of beâ€" ing a disciple, or as many Christians underwent in times of persecusion. How do we know the words of Josus‘ prayer? The disciples, apparently were asleep. Who, then, overheard the prayer of Jesus? The only posâ€" sible person scems to be the young man of Mark 15:; 51, whom some have supposed to be Mark himself. This is interesting guessâ€"work, but we cannot tell. The prayer itself is reminiscent of two other passages: First, the question, "Are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink?" Matt. 20: 22. Second, the petition in the Lord‘s Prayer, "Thy will be done." What is meant by saying that Jesus went, "as his custom was," to the Mount of Olives? It might be that he was wont to retreat thither for prayer and meditation, but more probâ€" ably it was not safe for him to sleep in the city. Jesus did not refuse to die when ‘he time came, but he reâ€" fused to be assassinated before his hour. Whether he slept in the open air or with friends, perhaps at Bethâ€" any, is not quite certain.

Yields at harvest time proved that the strip thus treated yielded 200 pounds of seed an acre in compariâ€" son with the yield from the untreatâ€" ed portion of the field of only 60 pounds an acro. In July when the alfalfa being left for seed was in full bloom the counâ€" ty agent arranged with Charles E. Hahn and Jonas Bass to demonstrate the effectiveness of the airplane proâ€" peller blast in tripping the alfalfa blossoms. _ A strip forty feet wide the entire length of the field was selected. _ The county agent and a group of farmers counted blossoms tripped and not tripped on marked areas previous to the airplane treatâ€" ment, _ The aiplane was then flown over the strip at a low elevation alâ€" most clipping the top of the alfailfa with the larding gear. The blosâ€" soms were again counted and it was found that 30 per cent additional blooms were tripped as a result of the airblast from the ship. Windâ€"Whipping By Plane Believed Good For Alfalfa The wind whipping given an alfalfa field in full bloom by an airplane fying low over it is thought to have resulted in an increased yield of 140 pounds of alfalfa seed an acre. This test was conducted on the farm of Jay Larkin, Cook County, Oregon,. __ Luke says that chief priests and elâ€" ders came to arrest Jesus, but they would surely have recognized him, and there would have been no need for the traitor‘s kiss. The arrest was more probably effected, as Mark inâ€" dicates, by servants. Exactly what happened is not clear. There seems to have been some sort of a scuffle, but Jesus did not attempt to escape arrest, It is rather surprising to find one at least of the disciples armed, but Jesus knew that "two swords" would be of no avail, once Pilate was invoked. ARCHIVES died quickly because his heart was broken. Finally, it must be rememâ€" bered that Jesus walked by faith, as we also are called to do. His arrest and death, just when he seemed to be succeeding, must have been utterâ€" ly baffling to faith. It is easy for us after the event to see how, through his death, he triumphed, but we must not assume that this was easy for him to see: Jesus is set beâ€" fore us, in the epistle to the Hebâ€" rews, as the great example of faith; the leader of the faithful. His faith in God was tested to the uttermost, as alone he faced absolute disaster. We dare not think what it would have meant for the world if his faith had failed, but it held firm., II.

"The constantly increasing evidence of this character makes it appear that early man not ~nly existed at a much earlier date in America than has been, until recently commonly believed, but that he had reached a relatively high state of advancement, at least in cerâ€" tain Jirections, in pleistocene time in this country," Dr. Cook said. The flint knives were similar to those found at Colorado, Texas and Torrington, Wyoming. They are well made indicating their makers were comparatively far advanced toward civilization. "Some of the bison and mammoth bones found here also appear to have been gnawed," Dr. Cook said. IN PLEISTOCENE AGE. The dry Arizona plateau where the bones and knives were discovered was a well watered flood plain when the ancient butcher shop was in operation, Dr, Cook explained. â€" Streams were flowing across it from the mountains toward the east, All evidence indiâ€" cates the flood plain existed in the pleistocene age, which extended from about 1,000,000 years ago to within 20,000 years of the present. There is no probability that the flood basin is more recent than that, he declared. Bones of the huge elephantâ€"like mammoth that had been hacked with flint knives by the ancient butchers, and some of the knives themselves, have been found in Yuma County, Arizona, by Perry and Harold Anderâ€" son, Dr. Cook said. The knives buried with the bones show men must have lived there at the same time as the mammoths, Dr. Cook believes. Some of the mammoth bones showed evi-‘ dence of having been hacked while still fresh, or tough and green, A bison bone evidently used in flaking off parâ€" ticles of flint in making the stone knives also was discovered.
