Consider the ravens: for they neith er sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought- can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not spin not: and yet 1 Say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of thsee. If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you. ye of little faith?

WILSON A GOOD SLEEPER It Is a Matter of I'ower With the New President From the New York Evening Sun.

President Wilson is one of those men who can always sleep. He has no trouble at all in winning slumber to his pillow. In fact it need not even be a pillow; he has the sand man trained to come at beck and call to a Morris chair or a seat in a train. President Wilson's penchant for sleep reminds one of ex-President Roosevelt's faculty for dropping off to the Land of Nod at random. And it is no mean virtue, either, for men in public life, especially for those who bear the" burdens fthe government and whose leisure is for the most part taken up in making speeches or receiving visitors.

Nine hours' sleep is what the Presi dent requires to keep himself in first-class trim for peace, war or riding the bicycle his favorite recreation. At any rate he so declared himself a few months ago, and President Wilson is a great stickler for putting his maxims into practice. Besides this regular allotment, the President has a knack of dropping off for a nap be tween times when the ship of public business is running smoothly and no one is looking. During the campaign he used to take an occasional few minutes' doze between stations. He is a light sleep er and can control the time of his awakening.

He awakes' from one of his naps perfectly refreshed and ready for the business of the occasion. Immediately following the wear and tear of the campaign the President was known to- have yielded to the somniferous influence of his labors for 13 or 14 hours at a stretch. But this of course is no regular custom. To go to bed at the restful hour of 10:30 -is his rule when possible. Since he has taken up his duties at the White House his program has been interfered with.

He has not been able to go to bed until 11 o'clock, on several occasions not until midnight. And he has been up a few minutes after 7 o'clock a routine which curtails his sleep an hour or two every night. However, as soon as he is acclimated, the President intends to settle back to his old mode of living and pull the covers sungly about his ears long before the Washington policemen are taking their first 40 winks. Social distractions will not be allowed to interfere with his rest, and if the capital sees very little of the head of the government evenings for the next four years they can lay it to his sleeping habits. -v At the primary at Nowata this week, the Republicans, Democrats and Socialists nominated tickets.

We do our friends a valuable service when we call their attention to the valuable book entitled, "THE TIMD IS AT HAND," In which are given many Scriptural evidences to prove where we are on the stream of time. "Men's hearts are failing, them for fear" and many of the leading thinkers are proposing remedies to better conditions.

The Scriptures assure us that man's extremity will be 7 God's opportunity, and this book holds out an anchor to those who fear th wave of unrest now spreading over the world. The honest heart confesses that It la at a loss for an explanation of transpiring events. While we refer to thl as the BRAIN AGE and the Age of ENLIGHTENMENT, nevertheless many realize that we are fast approaching a crisis which Is wrapped in darknes. owing to the present worldwide social, religious and political unrest. As though by Instinct the whole creation, while It groans and travails in pain together, waits for, longs for and hopes for the DAY, calling it the "GOLDEN yet men grope blindly because not aware of the great Jehovah's gracious purposes.

And to his wondering creatures, looking at the length and breadth, the height and depth of the love of God, surpassing all expectation, He explains: "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord; for as the heavens are higher than the earth so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."

J. Mrs. Isador Litman has issued invitations for a reception Thursday, March 27, at her home, 502 West Eighth street. The affair will be the social event of the coming week. The reading of ''Tomorrow" by Madam Harriet Labadie Thursday even ing in the Jefferson theatre was one of the finest things of its kind ever heard in Coffeyville.

The piece itself has much merit and her rendition of the three acts showed that she was a master of dramatic reading. A critic has this to say of her art: The most telling drama Is the psy chological and it is to plays of this nrniar that Mma ononio toIia 10 af. knowledged by critics to be the most phychological interpreter of the mod ern naturalistic dramatic schooL in the world today, has directed her at tention. A woman of high ideals, and gifted with a magnetic and far-reach ing personality, Mme. Labadie presents truth so that it is felt intensely, tremendously.

Uniting fire and fervor with masterly technique, Mme. Labadie brings out the most delicately subtle points and gives tlr full dramatic value to the play which, in het hands, becomes invested with new life and meaning. Her dramatic interpretations will undoubtedly appeal to all who appreciate the educational values of the higher ideals in Art. Mme. Labadie is a producer of plays, but instead of employing what we call actors to represent the various characters, she creates them in her mind so that they can be clearly and distinctly seen by the mind's eye of the audience.

The entertainment was given under the auspices of the Matinee Musicale. Mr. and Mrs. S. Rabin, 302 East Eleventh street, will announce the engagement of their daughter, Lillian, to Mr.
