Among North Ameri can Indians myths are common. Tra ditions trace back onr first parents to white and red maize; another Is that man, searching for a wife, was given the daughter of the king of the nraskrats, who" in being dipped Into the waters of a neighboring lake, became a woman. One of the strangest stories concerning the origin of woman Is told by the Mad agascarenes. Insofar as the crea tion of man goes, the legend Is not unlike that related by Moses, only that the fall came before Eve had arrived. After the man had eaten the forbidden fruit he became af fected with a boll on the leg, out of which, when it burst, came a beautiful girl. The man's first thought was to throw her to the pigs; but he was commanded by a messenger from heaven to let her play among the grass and flowers until she was of marriageable age, then to make her his wife. He did so, called her Barbara, and she be came the mother of all races of men. phllo- Fowl Names me rat pmmoer was in a sophlcal mood. "There Is simply no understand ing women," he observed. "Whaddye mean?" the thin car penter asked, Just to start the con versation. "Well, for Instance, a woman does not object to being called a duck." "No." "And she even smiles if some one happens to refer to her as a chicken." "Too true." "And some of them will stand for being called squab, broiler or turtle-dove." "Yes, yes, what's the idea?" "It's Just this," the fat plumber exclaimed, "a woman objects to be ing called a hen, and a hen Is the most useful bird of the whole blooming bunch." Popular Poultry. Ancient College Custom A person who falls to pass an ex amination is said to have been "plucked." This meaning of the word has a curious origin. In olden days when degrees were conferred In Oxford two proctors marched sol emnly down the hall and back. Tradesmen with grievances name ly unpaid bills would sit on the benches and pluck the proctor's gown as he passed. If the bill was big enough and a tradesman proved his case, the undergraduate was refused his degree. Ilence the term "plucked," which, now that Its origin Is fofgotten, is used for fall ing In examinations of any kind. The proctors still march up and down the hall, but of course their gowns are no longer plucked. Habits of Silence Inbred In the old days OJIbway children were taught to be seen and not heard, for to be heard might have meant death. When the screams of the hoot owl or other strange noises came from the woods, they snuggled closer, but kept all the quieter, for the noise which they heard was lia ble to be the signal of a prowling enemy, and to have cried would have been to have revealed the hid ing place "of the family or tribe. Thus through the thousands of years that the Indians lived In con stant danger of attack, the habit of silence was bred In the blood. Even now the OJIbway youngster will take a severe Jolt without a sound, and even come up smiling. Blaming the Druggist "I can't find Bluebelle In this tel ephone book."

"Very much," said the grocer, "but my customers were suspicious of bis weighing. They all knew that be used to be an Iceman." Cookery and Slang in Odd Relationship Why the business of the cook should be used as a vehicle of scorn and revenge Is a mystery of our mysterious language. We boast that we "have settled his hash" when we have "squashed1 a man and when counsel very se verely cross-examines a witness, or a mistress gives a servant what is commonly called "a niece of her mind," we say that both got Jolly good roasting." If anyone has been thoroughly bamboozled or made a fool of we say he has been done brown. Why do we say that certain clr cumstances or happenings have put a man "Into a pretty stew," or that a certain youtig man has got him self Into boiling water," which al most certainly refers to the drop ping of some living animal, like the lobster, Into the pot? And why do we refer to some one who has shown a lack of Intelligence as only half-baked?" The phrase "I've cooked his goose" has an ancient origin. When Eric, king of Sweden, reached certain town with very few soldiers, the enemy hung out a goose for him to shoot. Finding, however, that It was no matter for jest, the towns folk sent heralds to learn what he wanted. His reply was: "To cook your goose for you. London Tit' Bits. No Change at All "You've heard of a person being In a quandary, haven t you? Peter son asked. "Sure," replied Brown. "Why?1 "Well, I Just had a letter from an old friend, and he's In one. He's been In rather bad health for some time, so the other day he went to see a doctor, and the doctor advised him to take two or three months' complete rest. That's where the quandary comes in. He's been working for the government for 15 years and doesn't know where to look for a more complete rest." American Legion W eekly. Keep On Keeping On When last I went West by way of the Broadway Limited, I was sit ting on the observation platform, watching the scenery dash hy, when the porter came out to straighten the chairs which had been left In some disorder by a group of young folks. "We don't seem to be going so mucn raster than an ordinary local train, George," I commented. "How then, can this be the fastest train on earth? "Well, suh," replied the African with a grin, "de fnc' Is we alls donn go no fastern lots of them pesky locals, but we gits dar In quick time because we Jht keeps on keeping on." W. L. Barnhart In Forbes Magazine. Eye Stones Different small, smooth objects were used by our grandmothers to remove foreign substances from the eye, and were known as eye stones. The most common object used for an eye stone Is the "operculum" of a small marine shell. This Is a small lens-shaped piece of calcare ous shell and Is put Into the Inner corner of the eye under the lid. It works Its way to and out of the outer corner, often carrying Ihe for eign substance in the eye with it. Real Self-Control "My wife Iihs the most remark able self-control." "How Is that?" "She. roads iier invitations with- mt passing a finger over the en fivlng." Life about half an hour was taken up pre liminary to the preaching service. Participants were members of the church and Bible school and the pro gram was much appreciated. We give herewith a short rveiew of the Ber mon of Mr. Bower on the subject What Church Shall I Join." from the text, Ephesians 4:1-18. After brief ly mentioning the very large number of churches that might be joined, the pastor said: It is not sensible to attempt to be come familiar with them all at first hand there are too many of them. It would be just as foolish as to try every kind of automobile tire there is before settling on what kind to use. Some have tried a great many tires and others a great many churches but the only sensible way to do is to make a decision and stay with it. Before one makes a decision there are sev eral questions he ought to ask and answer. Is one church as good as another? Many say, "They are all going to the same place so what difference does it make " Again, "What difference does it make what road you take just so it gets you to the place you want to go?" Neither question is entirely frank, however, for all roads do not lead to the same place and of the roads that do lead to any given place there is usually one that is superior tf. any other by which we may travel. Sc it is with churches, the grade, the surfacing and maintenance vary. In other words, churches have a differ ence in emphasis, procedure and standards. They are not alike. Do different kinds of people need a different kind of church?. Some say so. But the different kinds of people do not correspond in number to the different kinds of churches. The in evitable conclusion from the scrip ture is that Christ designed one church to fit all people everywhere. Do we need to join any church? Some say that as long as the churches can not agree they will have nothing to do with any. Now the divided con dition of the church is a snare, as most will admit, but one who because of this ignores God and His Son and His Word is grievously at fault. Let us. not ignore the church of God lest haply we be found fighting against God. But we are not ready to answer the question with which we began for there are still several things to con sider. In the first place the Lord has only ONE church. He never spoke of build ing churches but said, "On this rock I will build my church." In the next place he designed this one church for all the world and said to his Apostles, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation." Again, no one can join this church. The phrase "join the church" is un scriptural the New Testament says r.othin? about ioininp the church. It does say that "the Lord added to them ' day by day such as were being saved." The New Testament is all about sav ing souls and nothing about church membership, hence we are to be con cerned only with that church rela tionship that the Lord gives when we ;bey the gospel commands. The an swer to our question seems then to be that we are not members of any church but Christ's. In order that there may be no puz zle left we are told in the fourth chapter of Ephesians how to recog r.ize the church of Christ. It has one body, and Christ as the head cannot have more than one body without be coming a monstrosity. It has one spirit the spirit of Christ and hence there is room for no party spirit. It has one hope, not a hope of scoial or naterial benefit but of eternal salva tion. It has one Lord Jesus himself beside whom there Is no source of authority in Heaven or on earth for the conduct of the church. This leaves no room for a pope, cardinal, priest, ttc. It has one faith that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God." No further articles of faith or con fession are authorized in the New Testament. It has one baptism the immersion of a penitent believer in water. And is not one enough? All else is of man. It has one God and Father and this is the climax in the lesson of the unity of the church for if we have one Father then all we are brethern and partakers of the same promises. This is the church divinely author ized for mankind. It is the Church of Tesus the church of the New Testa ment, While unloading wheat at the Hepp ner Farmers elevator Saturday, Chas.
