VOL. XXII. Urged for Farmers' Union by Thomas E. Watson. RECALLS OLD PLATFORMS Suggestion is Made in Campground Speech Before Large, Gathering Union Must Have a National Purpose. "The Farmers' Union is going to declare the same principles and make the same fight attempted by the old Farmers' Alliance, and in that fight I am going to help," said Hon. Thomas E. Watson, addressing an audience of some 1,000 or 1,200 people in the main tent at the Whiteoak campground, seven miles from Thomson, Ga., Wednesday. The audience included people of five counties, McDuffie, Lincoln, Wilkes, Columbia and Warren. They had met under the auspices of the Farmers' Educational and Co-Operative Union, and Mr. Watson was the principal speaker of the day. The whole burden of Mr. Watson's address was that the Farmers' Union must have a national purpose. He is convinced that the time has come or will soon come, when this organization, embracing in its membership 1,200,000 farmers, cannot be held together by the restricted plans and narrow purposes which now prevail. He wishes the organization to broaden out, to take a more comprehensive view of things and to support with their united influence a national campaign, or a campaign for national officers, having in view the repeal of all laws granting special privileges, and especially those which operate against the farmer. This program he will actively urge in his periodicals. He finds this platform already framed and these principles already enunciated in the Ocala platform, which was adopted by the Farmers' Alliance at Ocala, Fla. That platform contains the following declarations: The income tax. The removal of tariff taxes from all the necessaries of life. Direct election of United States senators by the people. Abolition of national banks and government loans to the people on good security at 2 per cent interest. No favoritism or class legislation. Mr. Watson repeatedly drew comparisons between the Farmers' Union of today and the Farmers' Alliance of yesterday, and insisted that their purposes were the same. "The Farmers' Alliance was the greatest educational factor this country ever knew," he said. Taking up the warnings and admonitions against plunging the Farmers' Union into the maelstrom of politics in which the old Farmers' Alliance had gone to wreck, Mr. Watson said; "Politics, meaning indorsing this man for this particular office, should be avoided. But politics in its last and loftiest definition means the relationship that exists or should exist between the government and the people. Even the churches are not too good to take an occasional hand in practical politics. "The Farmers' Union will not reach the point of its greatest usefulness and achieve the hope it entertains until the organization brings pressure to bear upon the politician and the statesman and tells them certain laws are oppressive and must be repealed. Certain other laws are needed and must be enacted." Mr. Watson paid his respects to the politicians in no very complimentary way. He assured his hearers that when their united voice was raised for reforms the politicians would fall over themselves to give heed, as they did in the case of the immigration discussion. Well Known Pennsylvanian Goes the Revolver Route. George W. Delamater, once candidate for governor of Pennsylvania, and who served as state senator from 1887 to 1890, committed suicide with a revolver Wednesday in his office in Philadelphia. Grief-over the death of his father, at Meadville, Pa., on May 6, and the sudden death of his son, James, in June, at Channellsville, Pa., is believed to have been the cause of his suf- ROAD IS SEEKING PEACE. Executive Officers of Southern Call Off Fight in° Alabama—Proposition is Made to Governor Comer. The executive officers of the Southern railway, who have ben in conference in New York, for several days, have, according to report, reached the decision that it will be the part of wisdom to abandon the litigation instituted in the federal courts for the nullification of reduced passenger rates in several states of the south. President Finley and other executive officers of the system went from Washington to New York, and they were joined by Colonel A. B. Andrews, the first vice president. It is generally understood that this conference took place at the metropolis so that the officials could keep in touch with those who have the largest financial interest in the road. A high official of the Southern railway frankly admitted in the course of conversation that appeal to the federal courts in all of the passenger rate cases was a mistake. Those who prompted this course argued that it would be best for the railroads to, go before the supreme court of the United States with a favorable decision, and the position was taken that such a decision would be the most likely given in the federal than in the state courts. The railroads recognize that they have lost any advantage they might have obtained from the federal injunctions given them, and what is still worse, they have aroused the hostility of public opinion. This, they fear, will be reflected at sessions of the legislatures in the various states. A proposition of settlement has been made by the Southern railway officials in Montgomery, Ala., to be submitted to the governor. It has been wired to President Finley in New York and awaits his action. Vice President E. L. Russell of the Mobile and Ohio, representing President Finley, and Attorney Weatherly of Elmingham continued their conference with Governor Comer Wednesday regarding the controversy between the state of Alabama and the Southern. That it was not the intention of the officers of the Southern railway to defy the state of Alabama is conveyed in statements made by Vice President Russell. He declared that the removal of the case from the state to the federal court was in regular order of business, and that it was not so removed in time to come under the provisions of the new law. Railway officials discuss with concern the finding of an indictment at Marion, Ala., fearing that it may cause complications. The Southern was indicted there for violating the law in doing business without a license. Gov. Comer, after the consultation, gave out a statement in which he says he is standing out for the 2½cent fare bill, saying: "Every time a ticket is sold for more than two and a half cents a mile, the roads violate the law and the person selling the ticket commits a misdemeanor. It is the duty of every court to so charge the jury, and the duty of every solicitor to make out a case. I have told Colonel Russell that with his reputation for fairness, I shall expect him to realize and concede that the railroads must obey the laws the same as any other person." With regard to the removal of the case from the Talladega court to the federal court, over which the license of the Southern was revoked and which the railroad people admit was hasty and not intended, the governor says: "The administration understands that the offense was committed against the state laws by the removal of the suit, regardless of the motive which prompted it. The laws are made for all alike and to be observed by all and enforced by the administration impartially." LIVING TOO SWIFTLY. Death Rate Among Men in Chicago Double That of Women. The strenuous life is killing the men of Chicago at a tremendous rate, while the women of the city are increasing their longevity by the simple life, says Health Commissioner Evans, in a report just issued. He declares that a few centuries will see Chicago an Adamless Eden, Dr. Evans makes the startling statement that, during the last seven months of 1907, in Chicago, about 12,000 men succumbed; as compared to 6,000 women. SOUTHERN BARRED From Doing Business in the State of Alabama. ROAD'S LICENSE REVOKED Removal of a Suit from State to Federal Court Was Direct Cause of Action—Has No Connection With Railroad Fight. A Montgomery special says: The license of the Southern railway to do business in the state of Alabama has been revoked by action of Secretary of State Frank N. Jullan, who has caused to be entered upon the stub of such license, in the records of his office, the statement that for violation of senate bill No. 86, approved March, 1907, and effective July 1, just passed, the said Southern railway has been deprived of its right to do business in the state. It is also a fact that the action of the secretary of state is not in resistance to restraining orders issued by the United States court of the fifth circuit, as this law is not among those combatted by the railroads and not included in any of the litigation now pending in the court of Judge Thomas G. Jones of the middle Alabama district. Hence the situation is not that of conflict of the state and the federal tribunals. While it may come to this in the end, there is nothing of it yet. The case upon which the revocation was made came from the circuit court of Taladega county, in the shape of a notification from Clerk J. D. McNeel that a suit had been removed from the state court to the federal. Secretary of State Julian looked carefully into the law and found that there was nothing else to do but mark the license cancelled, as the action of the statute is automatic. So far there is no contest between at least, there is no contest between the state and the federal court. It is also hard to figure out just how the matter will come to a head, as the Southern does not run into Montgomery and service in any sort of contempt proceedings would have to made on the line of the road somewhere, it is thought. The act requires that after July 1, every corporation outside the state shall pay a license of $10 a year, for the balance of this year, six months $5; that the secretary of state shall keep a complete record of moneys collected, and that it will be unlawful for any corporation to do business in the state without paying this license. Section 4 provides that when any foreign corporation is sued in the state courts and removes such suit from the state to the federal court, the clerk of the court from which the removal was taken will at once certify such action to the secretary of state, "who shall thereupon immediately cancel said license and make and enter upon the stub thereof an order in substance: "This license is canceled for a violation of the act under which issued by the removal of a civil cause from the court of this state to the federal court." This shall be evidence of the revocation of the license in any court of the state. It also says that after such revocation "any contract, agreement or undertaking with or by or to such corporation shall be utterly null and void." After a license is canceled in this way it can only be renewed by the payment to the secretary of state of 'a sum in cash equal to one-tenth of one per cent of the capital stock.' After renewal in the way indicated the new license can be revoked in the same way and for the same reason as the old. WIFE BEATER FLOGGED. City Alderman at Hazleton, Pa., Applled the Lash. Louis Samboli, accused of wife beating, was publicly flogged in Hazleton, Pa., by Alderman D. A. McKelvey, before whom he had been brought for a hearing. After the testimony had been given Alderman McKelvey seized the man by the collar, dragged him into the street, pulled the coat from his back and then handcuffed him to a post. All during the flogging the wife stood by and seemed to enjoy it. Standard Folk Worse. Than Counterfeiters Says Landis. PLACES $29,240,000 FINE In Notorious Rebate Case; Rockefeller's Corporation Is Given Maximum Penalty—Immense Crowd Cheers the Verdict. Judge Kennesaw M. Landis, in the United States district court at Chicago fined the Standard Oil company of Indiana $29,240,000 for violations of the law against accepting rebates from railroads. The fine is the largest ever assessed against any individuals or any corporation in the history of American criminal jurisprudence, and is slightly more than 131 times as great as the amount received by the company through its rebating operations. The case will be carried to the higher courts by the defendant company. The penalty imposed upon the company is the maximum permitted under the law, and it was announced at the end of a long opinion in which the methods and practices of the Standard Oil company were mercilessly scored. The judge, in fact, declared, in his opinion, that the officials of the Standard Oil company who were responsible for the practices of which the corporation was found guilty, were no better than counterfeiters and thives, his exact language being: "We may as well look at this situation squarely. The men who thus deliberately violate this law, wound society more deeply than does he who counterfeit the coin or steals letters from the mail." Judge Landis commenced reading his decision at 10 o'clock and occupied about one hour in its delivery. He reviewed the facts in the case, took up the arguments of attorneys for the defense, and answered them and then passed judgment on the company, which he declared, violated the law for the sole purpose of swelling its dividends. The court held that the roads have no more rigit to make a secret rate for a shipper than a board of assessors would have to make a secret assessment of any particular piece of property. The court expressed regret that the law failed to provide more serious punishment than a fine, but insisted that the penalty should be sufficiently large to act as a deterrent and not of such a size as to encourage the defender to persist in lawlessness. At the conclusion of his opinion and after announcing the amount of the fine, Judge Landis directed that a special grand jury be called for the purpose of inquiry into the facts in the Chicago and Alton Railroad company, it having been proved in the case just closed that the oil company accepted rebates from that corporation. This jury is summoned for August 14. This decision of Judge Landis aroused almost as much public interest as did the presence of John D. Rockefeller and the other officials of the Standard Oil company in the court room on July 6. The crush was so great that a large force of deputy marshals had much difficulty in controlling the crowd that was anxious to force its way into the courtroom. The case will be appealed and it is expected that it will be heard during the January term of the United States court of appeals. Under the seven indictments still pending against the Standard Oil company an additional fine amounting to $88,440,000 may be levied against the company if it is found guilty on trial. There are in these seven indictments a total of 4,422 counts, and the maximum fine in each suit would be $20,000. A MIXED-UP MURDER AFFAIR. Girl Killed, Escort Mortally Wounded and Suspects Landed in Jail. Ana Markowitz, 24 years old, a Jewish girl, lies dead at the county morgue in Dayton, Ohio, her threat bearing the mute evidences of the strangler's clutch. Her body bruised and cut, bears evidence of brutal mistreatment. At the hospital, with a mortal wound in his abdomen and his head a mass of bruises, lies Abraham Gordon, a young travelling man from Indianapolis. CHING SPIRIT. Fitted at Many Mur and Little Girls. Badly Beaten. A serious assault was added suddenly to the police record of recent crimes against defenseless women and girls in New York. The victim was Mickey Bulger, a woman of middle age, who was attacked in her apartment in the Bronx, cruelly beaten, and killed a helpless state. The woman was removed to a hospital, where it was found that her skull had apparently been fractured, her face and his faceacerated, and her body otherwise bruised. There was evidence that the woman had made a courageous fight. From what the police were able to learn from her, she was surprised by a smooth-faced stranger, perhaps forty years of age. He was coatless and wore an outing shirt and dark trousers. He escaped. The dangerous temper of the people, particularly in the foreign quarters, who had ben aroused by the reports of attacks upon women and girls was exhibited Sunday, night in repeated instances. A cry that a stranger had approached a child with familiarity was enough to start a mob. Sadie Hamberger, aged eight years, playing in the hallway of her tenement home in East Fifty-ninth street, late in the evening, cried out that a man had seized her. The child's father seized George Keshner, a Russian bookbinder, by the throat. The excitement attracted 500 men and women, who fought with each other to get a chance at the Russian. Thirty policemen rescued Keshner, bleeding from a score of wounds, when all his clothing but his shoes had been torn from him. The police wrapped the prisoner in a blanket and hurried him away. Sadie's sister corroborated the story of the attack, and the father says that he saw his daughter in the grasp of the Russian. About the same time Hyle Saloda, nearly lost his scalp in Thirty-fourth street. He was accused of having offered pennies to a girl of 12 years. The father wanted to know why, and Saloda showed fight. He slashed about him with a penknife, and then knocked down a policeman. A crowd of perhaps a thousand persons attempted to reach Saloda, but police reserves beat them back and took Saloda to the station. Louis Concalla was the victim of yircumstances. A man and wife quarreled in One Hundred and Seventh street, and their youthful daughter went out to the sidewalk and wept. A passing boy slapped her, and ran away. The girl's cries and the running boy aroused the neighbors, who chased the lad. The boy escaped and Concolia, who had outfooted other pursuers, was mistaken by the mob for the girl's assailant. Overtaken at last Concolla was set upon and knocked down and kicked until he was nearly dead. The police rescued him after he was dangerously injured. This wave of crimes against women and children has reached a stage where severe measures are called for. Acting Police Commissioner O'Keefe late Sunday issued orders directing that every plain clothes officer on the force lay aside all other work and devote himself entirely to an attempt to bring to justice the perpetrators Train Plunges Into River and Forty Passengers Are Drowned. Forty passengers in a third class railroad car and the engineer of the train were drowned Sunday afternoon in a allroad accident, near Anglers, France. The locomotive jumped the track when entering the bridge over the river Loire. The stone railing gave way and the engine plunged into the river fifty feet below, dragging with it the baggage and third class cars. TO PROTECT STATE'S ROAD. Bill Introduced to Prevent Paralleling the Western and Atlantic. A bill, which will prevent the Louisville and Nashville railroad from paralleling the line of the state road, the Western and Atlantic, in Georgia, was introduced in the senate Tuesday morning. Under the provisions of the bill, the corporation desiring an charter shall appear before the railroad commission and present all facts connected with their application, such as rights of way and condemnation rights. Native Quarter of Casa Blanca Destroyed and Ground Strewn With Corpses Marines Land and Carnage Follows In Streets. Advices of Tuesday from Tangier state that Casa Blanca, on the Moroccan coast, has been bombarded by French cruisers, the Moors are reported to have been shot down in large numbers, and the town since Sunday night has been practically in the possession of landing parties from French and Spanish cruisers. The first shots were fired by the Moors. The French responded with a bayonet charge and the bombardment of the native quarter with Melinite shells. The Frenchmen had six men wounded; but no one killed. No European residents were hurt. The occupation of Casa Blanca is a direct outcome of the native uprising which resulted in the recent killing of eight Europeans at Casa Blanca. Both France and Spain have prepared other warships, with troops and marines on board, to send to various points on the Moroccan coast for the protection of foreigners. Under the terms of the Algeciras convention these two powers are charged with the policing of the seaports of Morocco, and their action at Casa Blanca has brought no protest from any power. The states of Europe have expressed their willingness that France and Spain restore order in Morocco. No other countries are involved. News of the fighting at Casa Blanca was brought to Tangier by the steamer Anatole. The Gallilee and the French cruiser Du Chala fired until two thousand rounds of ammunition had been expended. The batteries on a fort at the mouth of the harbor fired on one of the French cruisers, but it was quietly silenced and reduced. The number of Moorish dead will run into the hundreds. A single party of marines killed 150 Moors. On Saturday night the Moorish pacha at Casa Blanca was advised that troops would remain calm. At 5 o'clock Sunday morning a detachment of fifty French marines, in command of an ensign, landed in the city. This force had hardly passed through the water gate before it received a volley fire at point-blank range from a detachment of regular Moorish troops. Five marines and the ensign were wounded. The ensign was shot through both hands. In spite of his injuries, he ordered his men to fix bayonets and charge. This the Frenchmen did, and in the fighting 150 Moors lost their lives. The marines continued their way clearing the grounds of the enemy as they went, until they reached the French consulate. In the meantime the French cruiser Galliee had commenced shelling the native villages outside of Casa Blapca, to prevent armed Arabs from entering the city. According to the Anatole passengers, the shells could be seen ploughing up the earth and killing men and horses. A party of sixty men were landed from a Spanish cruiser, but this vessel did not take part in the bombardment. France and Spain have agreed on the terms of a Franco-Spanish note, informing the powers signatory of the Algeciras convention, including the United States, of their intention in dealing with the situation in Morocco. The next measures-to be adopted depend largely upon what develops in Casa Blanca as a result of the occupation of that town. LIQUOR BARRED FROM TRAINS First Arrest and Conviction Under Newly Enforced Texas Law The first arrest and conviction under the law making it a misdemeanor to drink liquor on a train in Texas was made in Palestine when a white man was fined $16 for committing the offense. The man was coming in on a train, and when a short way out of Palestine took a drink out of a bottle he had in his pocket. While he was drinking a state ranger, who happened to be on the same car, arrested him. being in total Ten Thousand Dollars , and which are held by the State of Georgia , by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly , approved October 22d, 1887 , and amended December 20th, 1887 .

The charm of love is its telling, the telling that goes with no giving; The charm of deed is its doing; the charm of life is its living; The soul of the thing is the thought; the charm of the act is the actor; The soul of the fact is its truth, and the Now is its principal factor. The world loves it. Now is its principal connotations with rigor; It looks not behind it to falling, but forward to ardor and vigor; It carms not for heroes who faltered, for martyrms who hustled and recanted. The picture that never were painted, for harvests that never were planted. The world does not care for the blossoms that never are in perfumery; The world does not care for the blossoms that never is in perfumery. The world does not care for the chimes remaining unrung by the ringer; The world does not care for the songs unsing in the soul of the singer. What it makes to marry is what it makes that never is in perfumery; The motives, the hopes and the schemes that have ended in idle conclusions, are buried along with the failures, that come in a life of illusions. Away with the ilimay idea that life with a past is attended; There's no illimay idea that life with a past is ended. Away with its cosleep story, and all of its yesterday sorrow; There's only today, almost gone, and in front of today stands tomorrow. All hopes that are quenchless are sent us like lions from a generous lender. Enlarging our hearts is not what we are making of life. Lightening all of our islands, and thrilling us ever and ever. With the ecstasy of success and the raptures of present endeavor. The Madness of Prince Max. By Albert W. Tolman. "The costliest horse I ever ran a curry-comb over was Prince Max," said the city liveryman. "In those days I had charge of one of the largest private stables in New England. Twenty men took orders from me; and the values of some of the animals under my care ran into five figures. "But Max was the king of them all. He was a blooded trotter with a record on every important track in the country, more intelligent than some men I've known, and with a pedigree longer than your arm. Whenever he travelled he had his own comfortable private car, with an experienced groom as valet and chef. Nothing in those stables was too good for him, and we were proud as peacockis whenever he won a race. comfortable car had tried him sorely, and this sudden, unseen, furious outburst capped the climax. With eyes bulging glassily, he cowered in the farthest corner. But the worst was over. We were passing out of range. A few scattered parting shots, and the crowd transferred its compliments to the next car. I tried to soothe the stallion, but he stood sweat-beaded, shivering as with the ague. "We stopped. From in front I could hear the buffers coming together —clank! rattle! bang! The engine had been reversed. Slowly we trundled back. Were we to receive another hall of torpedoes? But all was quiet. Apparently the boys had exhausted their ammunition. We stopped again, directly across the street. Outside rose "Ijagine, then, our surprise and consternation, the second day in July, when I got a wire that the Prince had been sold; worse still, he must start for New York the next day. His car was in the repair shop, and that very morning his groom had set out for Buffalo, with another horse. But orders were orders, and must be obeyed. "I engaged the best box car obtainable at such short notice, and arranged to accompany Max myself, partly because I disliked to trust him with an inexperienced man, partly because I wanted to see as much of him as possible before saying good-by. At 5 o'clock the next afternoon we were switched into a long freight, and rolled away southward. "Our car was carpeted with straw and carefully padded; light and air came plentifully through strong wooden gratings 'over the open doors.' A hale of pressed hay, a barrel of oats and fine feel, and a metal water-tank and pails comprised our furnishings. My hammock swung from a hook in one corner to the end of a grating. We planned to make our two days' journey as comfortably as possible. "Wasn't it hot that first night! I got but little sleep. Max, 'unhaltered, trod, restlessly round his narrow, unfamiliar quarters, now and then pushing his soft muzzle into my face. Every half-hour, so at least it seemed to me, whenever I dozed off, the brakeman would clump along overhead, whistling. 'Way down upon the Swanee River,' or some equally cheerful tune. He was fond of music, that brakeman. He wore unnecessarily heavy shoes. "After midnight every town was exploding with patriotism in honor of the Fourth. With dawn the atmosphere became sweltering. Our car, freshly paled green, appeared to draw the heat. Noon came and went. Our general course was south; and the western sun, streaming through the wooden grate, checkered the straw with light. Sometimes the hot rays fell on me, sometimes on Max. At last I shut the door. This improved matters a little, although it, made the air very close. "The Prince was extremely sensitive to discomfort. His restlessness and his rolling eyes showed that his nerves were on edge. I am sure we both were thankful when the sun dropped below the horizon. "A series of detonations heralded the approach of a good sized town. I tried to open the door, but it stuck fast. The heat was still intense, and Max felt it. Although I did my best to soothe him, he quivered at every explosion. "We pulled slowly through the suburbs. My ear caught a steady raftle ahead like the popping of rifles. Nearer and louder it came; crack! crack! crack-crack-crack! What could it be? I was not long in learning. "The track crossed the principal street at right angles; and here a crowd of boys, supplied with torpedoes were peppering the train from engine to caboose. They were on the western side, so that I could not see them; but what a shout they set up at the sight of our brilliantly painted car! "Look what's coming! Look what's coming! All together fellow!" "One lad in especial had a shrill, piercing voice, which rang loud above the others. I tried to shout a warning, but a big torpedo struck fairly on the door, drowning my words. As we rolled across the road we underwent a deafening bombardment. I don't believe that there was a square inch that missed its share of the fusillade. "Had the boys known what the car contained, I am certain they would have been more chary of their attentions. But to them it was loaded with goods, like any other. How could they guess what was behind that bright green wall? "Prince Max was almost fright-crazy. The long journey in the hot, un- comfortable car had tried him sorely, and this sudden, unseen, furious outburst capped the climax. With eyes bulging glassily, he cowered in the farthest corner. But the worst was over. We were passing out of range. A few scattered parting shots, and the crowd transferred its compliments to the next car. I tried to soothe the stallion, but he stood sweat-beaded, shivering as with the ague. "We stopped. From in front I could hear the buffers coming together—clank! rattle! bang! The engine had been reversed. Slowly we trundled back. Were we to receive another hall of torpedoes? But all was quiet. Apparently the boys had exhausted their ammunition. We stopped again, directly across the street. Outside rose confused voices. It made me uneasy. What fresh mischief was hatching now? I soon found out. "Once more the train started. 'To me the grinding of the wheels was welcome. I had had quite enough of that town. "Then without warning, right beneath us, came a crash that seemed to lift the car from the track! The boys had put a giant cartridge on the rail. This completed the mischief begun by the torpedoes. "Prince Max shrieked like a tortured human being, and sprang straight upward. A beam struck him across the ears with a shock almost heavy enough to crack his skull. Half-stunned, he tottered, shaking his head. Then, before I could guess at his intentions or or prepare to guard against them, he came at me furiously, ears laid back, lips raised from his long white teeth, nostrils inflated, and eyes like blazing coals. "I jumped to the right, and shooting by me, he crashed against the end of the car. His head grazed my shoulder; his teeth snapped close to my left ear. My foot struck a metal water-pail, still half-fall. I picked it up, and as he turned, gave him the contents squarely in the face. Sobered, he retreated, dripping, into the opposite corner. "A tiger is lambilkile compared with a mad horse. If Max was really going crazy, I was in fearful peril. The pail was the nearest apology to a weapon. Worst of all, I was hopelessly trapped, with one door closed tight, and both barred by gratings which it would require some time to remove. Meanwhile one snap of the stallion's powerful jaw or a single stroke from a steel-shod hoof might seal my fate. "I spoke to him, at first gently, then in tones of command, but to no effect. His eyes glared; his teeth ground together, foam dripped from his lips. Poor fellow, he was suffering horribly! But I had no time for plty. With a sudden wild scream of fury he rushed on me again. "I retreated behind my hammock, swinging the empty bucket over my head; the ball came out in my hand, and the pall clattered on the floor. Fortunately, at that instant the car swerved sharply, hurling Max against the right grating. That disconcerted him, and he backed into his corner. "His flanks heaved, his ears pricked forward, his nostrils expanded. The membrane of his dilating eye grew red as blood, contrasting sharply with the glassy clearness of the cornea. He grasped a fold of stout padding with his teeth, and shredded it from the wall like tissue-paper. He tore and champed at the backing of excelсlor until the car was threw with curling fibers. Heart-sick and terrified, I realized that he was stricken with phrenitis, or, as it is more commonly called, the mad staggers. "A horse suffering from that affliction does not attack a man maliciously. He simply files at him blindly, as at a post or a tree. But he is none the less dangerous because his violence is not deliberate. In one of his mad rushes Max might pin me down and tear me to pieces. "How I longed for the brakeman's hobnail tread and cheerful whistle! But he did not pass overhead; and the train was making too much noise for me to hall the caboose. "Stupor succeeded frenzy. Max stood quiet, with hanging head. I watched him apprehensively. Speedy bleeding was, I realized, the only thing that would prevent the phrenitis from terminating fatally. I feared to approach him, however, for in two or three seconds he might again become a dangerous maniac. Yet I must seize the earliest opportunity for drawing the blood away from his brain; for not only did the prospect of saving his life lessen with every minute, but each fresh paroxysm exposed me anew to deadly peril. "An idea came to me. Keeping close watch on the horse. I unhooked my hammock and looped it over my left arm—and not an instant too soon. "Rousing with a start, Max screamed ferociously, and plunged toward me. He reared on his hind legs, a little more, and I should have been crushed under his hoofs. But again his skull collided with the ceiling, and he was hurled upon the straw. Before he could rise I flung myself on his neck, realizing that the critical moment had come, and began to wind the hammock folds round and round his head and jaws. It was no time for mistake or miscalculation. I worked hard, for I knew how much was at stake. "Never shall I forget those few terrible minutes. With my whole weight thrown upon the animal's throbbing neck, my face pressed down close to his hot skin, and my arms almost torn from their sockets by the violence with which he wrenched his head from side to side, I kept tight hold of the hammock ends. Once let him clear his strong jaws from those entangling folds, and my life was not worth a picayune. "His hoofs beat a mad tattoo upon the floor. His grashing teeth spattered me with foam-fleeks as he champed and tore at the stout hemp. Its windings were growing looser; a few more wrenches, and they would be off. "Hope was slipping; from me, when his muscles suddenly relaxed, and his head dropped forward. The stupor had come on again; I should never have a better opportunity. Letting go the ends of the hammock, I pulled out my penklife, ran my fingers along a vein which I could feel swelling in his neck, and punctured it with the tip of the smallest blade. The hot blood came streaming out and formed a little pool on the floor of the car. "Was the operation in time to save the animal's life? I rewound the hammock about his jaws, and waited. Before he roused again a considerable amount of blood had drained off. His struggles were appreciably weaker, and I had no difficulty in controlling him. The fight was won. $ \textcircled{4} $ "Before long we rolled into another town. When we stopped I was able to attract the brakeman's attention; and summon a veterinary. We spent that night in the car, working over Max, and between us managed to bring him round, although he was a good deal weakened by his loss of blood. The next day I delivered him, safe and sane, to his new owner."—Youth's Companion. QUAINT AND CURIOUS. In the United States, out of every 10,000 marriages there are 700 divorces. In Canada, out of the same number of marriages the divorces are but four. In our great civil war there were used 12,000 tons of powder and 42,000 tons of lead. With these supplies about 96,000 men were killed on the spot, or wounded so that they died. The finest grapes for the table are grown under glass in Belgium. In the busy metropolitan suburb of Hoezildert, near Brussels, there is a whole district covered with glass. It is one of the shows of the country to sightseers. One of the favorite postal cards offered for sale to tourists by shop keepers of Rouen, Normandy, shows a modern feminine compatriot of Joan of Arc dressed and posed to represent the great French heroine spinning in her thatched roofed cottage at Domremy. Following a wager with a friend a London pawnbroker exposed for sale in his shop window for five days a hundred-guinea ($500) diamond, which he priced at 2 shillings 3 pence (50 cents). The article found no purchaser and the wager was won by the pawnbroker. No pope ever reigned under the name of Peter. The custom for the popes to change their Christian names on their elevation to the papacy began in 884, by Peter di Porca taking out of a feeling of humility the name Sergius II. He deemed it would be presumptuous to have styled himself Peter the Second. Hats, as the term is understood today, were first made by a Swiss'at Paris in the year 1404. Before that time the usual head covering was some kind of hood. It is true that, as a rule, the ancients went bareheaded. The Greeks and Romans found but little use for any kind of headgear except on gala occasions and in war time. The Book of Job is far from being the oldest in the world. The most ancient writing is the manuscript by Ptah-Hatep, an Egyptian prince' of the blood, who lived about 3366 years before Christ. Ptah-Hatep's book is written on papyrus, and deals with matters moral, political and religious. It is preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris. The Squirrel and the Sap. There have been several gray squirrels about the premises or H. R. Morrell, in Gardiner, all winter, and the other day Mrs. Morrell was the witness of a curious act -y one of them. He was in a maple tree, and gnawed off some of the bark on the upper side of a limb. When the sap had commenced to run and was gathering in drops on the lower side of the limb the squirrel reached down and drank it. How he knew it was sap in the maple, and that it is time for it to run, does not appear, but it is evident that he did know both that the maple was the sap tree and that it was time for the sap.—Kennebec Journal. Timely Fashion Hints THE WEEKLY PRESS New York City—Here is one of the latest and prettiest of the overwaltas designed for young girls. It is eminently youthful in effect, it is eminently graceful in line and it is available for every seasonable material. In this instance light blue velling is trimmed with braid and 1 fancy banding and is edged with a piping of velvet while there are V-shaped pieces of embroidered muslin that give extreme daltiness and charm to the whole. The guipme beneath is of a simple embroidered net, but as this is entirely separate it can be varied to suit one dress or another and can be made from any 1 suitable material. The over blouse is sufficiently full to be extremely becoming to girlish figures and will be found available both for the entire frock and the separate blouse. It would be very charming in pongee or any one of the lovely cotton vellings that are shown in such pretty checked designs, while it also can be made available for the still thinner materials of the summer such as the flowered moussellines, spider silks, the embroidered batistes, Swiss muslins and the like. The over blouse is made in one piece and is laid in pleats over the shoulders. The right front is lapped over the left and attached to position, the closing being made invisibly at the back. The fulness at the waist Hine. can be regulated by means of a tape inserted in a casing, or the waist can be gathered and stitched to a narrow belt. The V-shaped portions are optional and can be used or omitted as lited. The quantity of material required for the sixteen year size is two and one-half yards twenty-one or twenty-seven, one and one-quarter yards thirty-two or forty-four inches wide and three and one-half yards of banding and one-quarter yard any width for the V-shaped portions when these are made of contrasting material. New Gloves. A new idea in long gloves is to have the hand of kid and arm of silk or lace or vice versa. The effect is rather quaint, especially if the lace on the arm be fine meshed, but when the hand is of silk or lace and the arm of suede or glace kid the ensemble is good and tends to make the hand appear smaller. The demand for black gloves is on the increase. Black for gown or hat is increasing all the time. Not to say, Heavy cluny or filet or Irish lace trims many of the handsomer linen frocks, and, by the way, the dyers who cater to the smart trade now advertise the padydeer or dipping of colored linen frocks which have faded or changed color in wearing or laundering. Over Blouse or Jumper. The over blouse that can be closed at the front is a novelty and a welcome one, for no matter how charming the bodice 'may be that closes at the back it involves more- or less difficulty to the wearer, whereas this one is simple in the extreme. In the illustration it, is made of one of the novelty ponges showing lines of green on a natural colored ground, and is trimmed with green velvet and tiny ribbon pleating, but it can be utilized for almost every seasonable material. It is very charming in ponges of all sorts and the material is eminently fashionable, but it also is well suited to the light weight wools and to all the so-called "summer silks," while in addition it would make up most charmingly in the summer materials of warm weather wear such as embroidered Swiss muslin, flowered batiste volle, plain and figured, and the like. The waist is made with front, back and sleeves. It is cut out at the shoulders to form open V-shaped portions, while it is laid in pleats at the shoulders that provide becoming fulness. The sleeves are separate and seamed to the arms' eyes and the closing can be made either invisibly or with buttons and button-holes. The quantity of material required for the medium size is two and three-quarter yards twenty-seven, two yards thigty-six or one and three-eighth yards forty-four inches wide S with six and one-quarter yards of pleating and six and one-quarter yards of banding. of course, that all madame's or mademoiselle's best frocks will be in black, but a large portion of them will be, or else colored ones generously touched with black. Wane of Tan Hose. Fashionables are predicting an approaching decrease in the sale of brown stockings. They say that gun metal, a peculiar shade of dark gray, is already usurping their place. PEARLS OF THOUGHT As soon as a man's relatives begin sending him money he becomes worthless. The man who is scared into being good is the one most likely to boast of this exceeding virtue. Ask a doctor how many cigars you should smoke a day and he'll tell you the number he smokes. Most girls believe that if duelling were still popular, they would be the cause of considerable bloodshed. A good man to shun is one who takes pleasure in the claim that he has the worst time of any one in the world. Some people are so stubborn and so contrary that you can only convince them they are wrong by agreeing with them. It is a hard matter for a man who believes as you do to carry his ideas to the extreme where you will call him a fanatic. When a letter jumps from the, first to the fourth page and then back to the second it never says anything very important. As the prize winner in the biggest baby contest, the man who doesn't get sick very often is a strong competitor when he does. The longer a man thinks of his first love affair, the more he is convinced that he didn't handle it very well, even for an amateur. No girl should ever look 'pityingly at a married' man. A great deal of mischief is done by making married men believe they are martyrs. A man who would scorn to lie about his neighbors will cheerfully lie about his country and regard himself as something of a reformer for doing it. About six months after a man has married he begins to discover that he has to get twice as mad as formerly to have his wrath count for half as much.—From Sunflower Philosophy in the Atchison Globe. THE GOOD SAMARITAN. A Victim of Well-Meant Intentions Finally Protested. A Good Samaritan, passing an apartment house in the small hours of the morning, noticed a man leaning limply against the doorway. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Drunk?" "Yep." "Do you live in this house?" "Yep." "Do you want me to help your upstairs?" "Yep." With much difficulty he half dragged half carried the drooping figure up the stairway to the second floor. "What floor do you live on?" he asked. "Is this it?" Rather than face an irate wife who might, perhaps, take him for a companion more at fault than her spouse, he opened the first door he came to and pushed the limp figure in: The good Samaritan groped his way downstairs again. 'As he was passing through the vestibule he was able to make out the dim outlines of another man, apparently in worse condition than the first one. "What's the matter?" he asked. "Are you drunk, too?" "Yep," was the feeble reply. "Do you live in this house, too?" "Yep." "Shall I help you upstairs?" "Yep." The good Samaritan pushed, pulled and carried him to the second floor, where this man also said he lived. He opened the same door and pushed him in. As he again reached the front door he discerned the shadow of a third man, sylvidently worse off than either of the other two. He was about to approach him when the object of his solicitude hurred out into the street and threw himself into the arms of a passing policeman. "For heavens sake, off cer," he gasped, "protect me from that man. He's done nothin' all night long-but carry me up stairs 'n throw me down th' elevator shaf."—Everybody's. Susan B. Anthony's Nephew. It is not often that candidates for public office, and especially for Congressional seats, are able to attain the object of their desires without opposition. Representative Burton of Ohio has made something of a record in this respect, and equally noteworthy is the case of D. R. Anthony, Jr., recently selected to represent the First Kansas district in the place of Charles Curtis, who succeeded Senator Benson in the upper house. When the Republicans nominated Mr. Anthony the Democrats of the district met and decided to name no one in opposition to him. He is a member of the well known Anthony family of Kansas, being a nephew of the late Susan B. Anthony and a son of D. R. Anthony, Sr., whom he succeeded as editor of the Leavenworth Times.—Washington Herald. Time Wasted. Bacon—I see it is said that a man is regarded as of greatest value to his country at the age of 24. Egbert—And yet that is about the time of his life that he goes about with a hank of some girl's hair in his watch case—Yonkers Statesman. Just a hundred years ago the first evangelical missionary went from England to China. His name was Robert Morrison; he remained 34 years, translated the Bible into Chinese, wrote a Chinese grammar and a dictionary of 4595 pages.

Kentucky Tobacco Planters Have Started a Co-Operative Campalgn That May 7 End in a Great Feud. MONOPOLY’S AGENTS DRIVEN OUT AND FARMERS’ SOCIETY 1% A POSITION TO START MANUFACTURING Lexington, Ky.—Wil: the Ken- tucky tobacco planters be able to command their own price for the pro- duct of thelr lands or will thelr fight with the Tobacco Trust result in a great feud in which inany lives are fo be’ sacrificed? This question {s agitating Kentucky farmers at pres- ent. The producers of Blue Grass ‘seed have formed a pool and sold their en- tire crop this season at a greatly ad- vanced price, but this will be sold back to the other farmers, and they must pay the farmers who harvested the seed th» additional profits. The growers of wheat have attempted a pool with some success, aud the Sbreeders of thoroughbred _ horses have a tacit understanding so that prices are enbanced. In Western Kentucky the planter who will net join the Tobacco Asso- eration fears ‘to close his eyes lest some of his property be destroyed by “night riders.” In Central Ken- tucky there are some pianters who say the men who are butlding up the tobacco, pools have objects of graft before thent, and they will not go in. ‘The trust buyers are having a hard time. They dare not reveal thom- selves in the black tobacco district, _for the tobacco planters in that end of the State fear no law. The Fire Marshal and the Governor have each taken a hand in trying to suppress lawlessness, but it 1s increasing with alarming rapidity. The Grand Juries will not uct, nor will the Sheriffs of the counties investigate the lawless - deeds of the night raiders, either through fear or sympathy. Work of the “Night Riders.” ‘The disorder specially centres in ‘Trigg. Caldwell, Todd, and Hopkins Counties, which’are Infested with the so-called “Night Riders.” ‘The work was first confined to threats and in- timidation, but when it was seen that these methods did not have the desired effect violent methods were pursued. It fs now a daily occur- rence for farmers to be taken from their homes at night and severely lashed by masked men or to awake and find their barns destroyed by fire or dynamite. A new scheme was discovered by laborers on the farm ‘ef Dr. Work in Trigg County, who ‘were seriously injured by a discharge of dynamite placed tn wheat shocks during the night. Tho dynamite exploded when the wheat was passed through the machinery. ‘That the influence of the associa- tlon fs spreading and has reached the white Burley district was shown in the last week, when the farmers of Mason County were unable to set hands to thrash their wheat because they were not members of the assocl- atlon, and, thofeands of brsbels wil spol ‘as a ‘result. : } Strong Anti-Trust Organization. 3 Meanwhile the efforts to organize Sthe tobacco people have advanced rapidly, and it 4 now estimated that the American Soclety of Equity, © Killed Six, Then Herselt. + Gzlef-stricken by,the recejpt of a notification that her services would not be required, Mrs. .Nielsen, a housekeeper for a landowner named msage, of Sutland.

University. which is doing the work, has about 261,000,000 pounds of tobacco Im its control.” This represents sixty per sent. of the 1906 crop and eighty-five per cent. of the 1807 crop. The far- mers who subscribed to the stock of the society to enable it to carry the tobacco have been paid for only one-half of the tobacco they have put in, and unless the soclety succeeds there is bound to be a terrible slump. Prof. J. D, Clark. one of the lead- ing men in the society, who has just returned from the meeting of the leading.tobacco men of the country at Louisville, says: - “First, it is proposed to declare the tobacco now controlled by’ the society off the market, then to organ- ize a co-operative stock company for the manufacture of the tobacco on hand and its distribution direct to the retail merchants: It is proposed to capitalize this company at $10,000, 000 and erect big manufactories in the various districts. “Halt of the capital stock, of $5.- 000,000, fs to be taken by the grow- ers ‘who are members of the soclety and pald for in tobacco to thelr eradit in the pool. The remaining $5,000.- 000 is to be preferred stock and will be sold to banks, business men, and Investors who fn many sections are already fnterested in the movement and who have demonstrated thelr willingness to give the soclety fnan~ clal backing. ‘With the stock thus placed it would be an easy matter for the company to issue bonds for fhe erection of factory buildings “A trust agent stated to us only a few days ago that the trust had enough tobacco to keep {t running for two years, and that the independ- ‘ent companies had about a year's sup- ply. With this supply exhausted and the Equity Society in control of the market, the trust would have to close up shop, and the producers, being their own manufacturers, would make the twenty cents on every pound of tobacco sold which now goes to enrich the trust magnates. This is in brief the plan which Is being considered by the Equity Society, and wuich appears practical.’ ' Trust Made to Pay More. The black burley people have been far more successful in organizing than have the planters of the white variety. In the dark belt for the last four or five years the trust has been- compelled to give advanced prices for the weed. Many attempts were made before a successful plan was found to finance the tobacco as- sociation. When the company went to the Eastern’ financiers for money they met the opposition of the To- bacco ‘Trust, and their plans always miscarried." In the last two years, however, the county banks have ta- ken up the paper, and the society has been able to pay for the tobacco sub- seribéd, giving the farmer the mar- ket price, one-half in cash, and the other halt in stock in the society, with the further agreement that he ta kn wales th tha eee ee Kills His Bride, Then Shoots Himself.

TRE REV] “OO Spal Tay ENDER SN RAE Subject: Receiving* the Spirit. Brooklyn, N. ¥.—Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Churgh, Hamburg ‘avenue “and Weirfield street, on the above thome, the pas- tor, Rev. I. W. Henderson, took as his text Jno, 20:22, “‘Recelve ye the Holy Spirit.” He said: The reception of the Holy Spirt In the Inner sanctuary of the human heart is the condition of en- trance into the kingdom of God. The possibility of the immediate and pres- gnt incoming and welcoming of ‘the Spirit is reason qnough for us to be- Meve that the kingdom hegins in this Ufe and at once, if you will. The fact that the-coming of the Splrit-into the heart is contemporaneous with the antranice Of the fndividual into the privileges.of divine citizenship {s suf- ficlent demonstration that spiritual- Aty is the key to, and the essence of, and the first requirement of admls- ston to the kiagdom. | The ane and only way to participate in the joys and blessings of the Spirit filled Jife is to cease from hardness of heart, and from intellectual self-glorification and self-trust, and to become as lit- tle children in humility and receptly- Jty to ‘truth. Spirituality and divine citizenship are one and the same thing. Growth tn spirituality Is the test of efficient citizenship. The man who has stopped dependinz upon his own strength. his own wisdom, and as opened ts Neart and eyes ang ears and mind to the influences an manifestations of the Spirit in bis Iife is ready to recelve, and in all conscience will get, the papers and rights of a citizen of the kingdom of the God of Jesus Christ. And that soul only is belag sanctifiedunto God- Ukeness_and fashfoned into the im- age of Jesus Christ who is growing daily, hourly, momently, in the gifts and graces of the spiritual life, To be spiritual 1s to become child- like. To attain spiritual develop- ment {s the aim and the calling of those who are-Christ's. ‘The Holy Spirit, the personal, pu- rifylng, propelling presence of God in the life of mat, is the means unto the spiritualizing ‘of human natures according to the divine decrees. The entrance of the Spirit spelis death to sla. The yielding of self to’ the gen- tle ministrations of the Holy Ghost fs the first step toward individual trane- formation. The communion of .the spirit of man with the Spirit of God brings peace, contentment, rest and a wisdom and energy which are more than sufficient to meet the demands and the opposition of the world. No mere Impersonal, unreal, unattain- ble something is this Spirit, which Christ bade His disciples recefre, and ‘of which at a later tlme they received a fuller measure. It Is the real, help- ful, personal presence of God in the ‘ite, The spirit of.man fs a prey to all sia save the Spirit of God as a constructive, controlling force comes iin, The transfusion of the soul with the vitality of the Spirit fills the dy- ing heart of man with life. | “There are three characteristics of the Holy Spirit to which I wish to di- ‘rect your thought. The Holy Spirit 4g a constant presence In the Ife of ‘the world, a “controlling: energy, a ‘soul satisfying comforter. The Holy Spirit is a constant pres- ence and factor in the life of the world, The entire list of graces and gifts and blessings which are ours at ‘the hands of our heavenly Father are ‘constant: The gift of the Spirit {s no exception to the rule. When God promises to men the presence and uplift of the Holy Spirit upon the ‘fulfilment of certain conditions upon ‘thelr part He means just what He says. Our Father is not fickle or changeable or inconstant. He is the same to-day, yesterday and forever. Aad His Spirit, which 1s His own ‘real, ‘personal presence {n the hearte ‘of men, is as constant as {s all else with which He has anything to do. ‘When we were far away from duty and were serving sin the Spirit of the living God was knocking ever at our hearts. And though we hated our- selves and the depth of our own in- fqulty, though the world may have “despised us and forsaken us, though everything in life may have held us ag “unclean” with the leprosy of sin, still the Spirit of the living, loving Father of us all stood waiting to re- yeal,to us the wealth and beauty of the love of God and to revive our dying souls with the fullness of powez unto eternal lifé. ‘The constancy of the Spirit as a ‘factor in life 1s nowhere better Ilus- trated than fn the experience of Christian men who have given them- selves up, in less or greater measure, to His domfnlon. What'a joy, what a comfort, what a stay it ts to know “that whenever and wheresoever we may turn to the Spirit for the portion of refreshment that our souls s6 sorely need we shall always find Him ready to supply our wants. ‘There is no sense and no reasoa in much of our constant petitions to God to infill us with His Spirit. ‘The fnfluences of types of thought and of prayer are hardly escapable. We have grown so accustomed to ask God to fill us with His Spirit. of power. But I submit, would we not pray: better and more to the point it we thanked our Father for the favors of His love and acknowledge to Him in person, what He alread “knows, our shortcomings and ou} genie of spiritual power which, une der God, might be yours if you would. Everywhere and continuallythe Spirit of the Lord 1s active. He knocks ever at the door of the stnner’s heart. He is forever pouring out, the Inex- haustible waters of spiritual Ifo upon the‘parched souls of men. But neither God nor His Spirit can fill an ‘Inverted cup, The showers of blessing can not flood a closed heart. Then, too, the Holy Spirit is a con- trolling energy in the life of the man_ who {s susceptible to His influence, Christ tells us that His Spirit shall Tead us into all truth; that He shall be our Guide, our Teacher and our Helper. The catalog of the activities of the Spirit In the life of man {5 strengthening and sustaining. By Him we are lec into the entirety of divine self-revelation, and of eternal truth. Under the guldance of the Spirit of the living Géd we may progress from. truth to truth as the wonders of God’s universe are re- vealed to us and the application of everlasting rerities brought home to our hearts, Bfay no man flinch to follow the Spirit withersoever He may direct, As Dante went through hell and heaven and the intermediate regions of the world beyond, and told in allegory.and song the wonders that he witnessed and the sights he saw, so may we, with the Spirit as our guide, be given grace to look truth squarely in the face and portray it faithfully to the world. And if we as Dante, or beroud him Ghrist, shall be hounded by those who fear the light of truth we shall yet be certain that the truth, the truth alone, 1s worth men’s fealty and shall make them free. The Spirit as the Comforter, ap~ peals to the heart of every Christian. ‘Who of us does not joy in theStact that above us and within us fs this comforting Spirit of the Lord our God? The human heart crles out for comfort when distress and dan- Ker and des:rvetion epme npon it. ‘Wheat our hearts ate bowed In an- guish and our souls are crushed with grief, when every human tle {s sev- ered ‘and no mortal hand may avail to dispel our utter darkness, then: the spiritot the loving God strengthens, sustains, sanctifies the soul. “Save me, O God, for the waters are come into my soul," we ery out with the Psalmist. In the Judah wilderness of the world our souls thirst for Him, our flesh longs for Him as In a dry and thirsty land, where no water {9. ‘Then the Spirit comes, aud with His entrance the lve springs of refresh- ment minister to our couls’ deep need. Tho Spirit as the Comforter is God ‘in His presence ministering to the humaest of, mortal needs. No man can live happily without Him. No man can weather the trials ot tribulatfon ana the temptations ot pfosperity without Him. Lending the sorrowing ght hearts He keeps the successful level headed, The sense of the constant presence of the Spirit of God in the individual and world life is the certain indica- tion of a true religious experience. No man who lives near to God is without It. It is elemental in Chris- tlan experiencer And this conscious- ness of God's abiding and guiding !s the mainstay of the soul. Without it progress 1s Impossible in the truest sense. With it we may fight with fearlessness, with hope unquench- able, agalust principalities and pow- ers, against the wickedness of high places and the sins of ‘mighty -1en. For the abiding Spirit of the living Géd fs the controlling energy in the Me of humanity. Bad men may de~ feat Him temporarily; evil poljcl.s may frustrate His purposes and hurl themselves against His plans; but the Spirit of God is unconquerable. He is the controlling, the overruling en- ergy in the world. In this Spirit we should find our strength. From Him we should derive che comfort of our souls. Let not your heart be troubled. Come what may, be,the storms of life what they will, God will not teave us comfortless. He will not leave us orphans. He is with us. He will abide with every soul who bids Him enter. He will constantly refresh us all. He will glve us courage and be our strength. He will suffuse us. He will comfort us. And He does. dis eo a Sea, ‘What a vast proportion of our lives is spent in anxlous and useless fore- bodings concerning the future—eith- er our own or those of our dear ones.

Ekelund of Jonkopin, Sweden, claims to have made an important invention in fuel saving. According to his method, peat is used in the shape of a powder and is said to give sufficient heat to use steel in a furnace without the use of coal. In Australian surgeon considers the hard palate a better means of identifying a criminal than the finger tips. In others words, he believes that there is a greater degree of individuality in the corrugations of the roof of the mouth than in the lines which indent the skin. That the natural color of pure water is blue, instead of white, was long ago discovered. The green and yellow tints are said to be due to extraneous substances. Dissolved calcium salts, though apparently giving a greenish tint, due to a fine invisible suspension, have no effect on the color of the water when precautions are taken to prevent it. The brown or yellow color due to iron salts is not seen when calcium is present—Engineer. The proportion of cement, sand and broken stone for concrete construction varies according to the contractor, the architect and the use to be made of the material. A general rule is to make a mixture of one part cement, two parts sand and five parts broken stone. This proportion is often used in first-class buildings and when needed to support heavy weights. Sometimes three parts of sand and five or six parts of broken stone to one of cement are used. A Swiss engineer announces a new fire escape. It consists of a series of folding iron ladders, contained in frames, attached to the window cases, each reaching to the window below. By merely turning a small winch on any floor all these frames are pushed outward from the building, the ladders extended and securely connected with each other, thus forming a continuous communication from the top floor to the ground. The manipulation is simple and takes less than a minute. When not in use the escape is barely visible, and does not disfigure the facade of the building in the manner that the ordinary outside iron-staircase does. A public test of the new escape has proved successful, and the Vienna fire brigade representatives have expressed their approval of it. A NEW BULLET. For Use in High-Power Big-Game Rifles The small-bore, high-power rifle that is in general use today was originally designed as a military rifle, the object of which is to wound or maim at extreme range; and owing to its high velocity, the trajectory is so flat that the raising or changing of sights under ordinary circumstances is unnecessary. Sportsmen, seeing the advantage gained by great velocity, were quick to adopt this type of rifle. It was found that by inverting the jacket of the full metal-patched bullet so as to leave the soft nose exposed, this bullet when striking hard substances such as bone, will very often mushroom or expand, causing a severe wound. Improvements in powder have from time to time increased the velocity of these bullets until they now have a muzzle velocity of 2700 feet per second. With this velocity, even the soft-nosed bullet will pass through the animal without expanding in the least until some hard substance is struck, when it is apt to fly to pieces. The great heat caused by friction in the air causes the bullet to caterize the veins and arteries, causing little bleeding, and thus making it impossible for the hunter to track his game by the blood. It is stated on reliable authority that this year in Nova Scotia over 40 percent of the game hit or wounded escaped, some to die a lingering death in great agony. To overcome these objections to the ordinary bullet, Mr. G. H. Hoxie, 4410 Michigan avenue, Chicago, Ill., has invented a new form of bullet. The bullet consists of a jacket with a filling of lead in which a steel ball is seated. In another construction a steel wedge is used in place of the ball. Behind the ball is a chamber formed in the filling. When the bullet strikes an object the ball is forced into the chamber, expanding it and tearing it open. The wounds made by the improved bullet are four or five times larger.—Scientific American. "So Hungry."

The beautiful white marble shaft erected by the State of New York in Niagara Square, Buffalo, N. Y., to the memory of President McKinley, is to be formally dedicated Thursday, September 5, and the event will be the central feature of Buffalo's Old-Home Week, September 1 to 7. Former residents of Buffalo and the public at large are cordially invited to attend the dedication and the gay carnival that will run all the week. The McKinley monument was planned and executed under the direction of a commission of prominent men at a cost of over $150,000. Buffalo's Old-Home Week will be a succession of civic and military pageantry; carnival, sports and games, and the electric city will be ablaze with twinkling lights and patriotic decorations. Former residents of Buffalo are asked to send their names and addresses to James W. Greene, chairman Old-Home Week Committee, Buffalo, N. Y. A beautiful souvenir institution will be mailed to each.

A student at the State Normal School at Athens, Ga., has a chance not only to review thoroughly the common school and high school studies, but also to learn the Domestic Arts and Sciences in the best equipped department in the South. Then, too, the school of Manual Arts there gives a most valuable education in drawing, brush work, color work, decorative design, tool work in metal and woods, and the various handicrafts. Elementary agriculture, nature's study, and school gardening teach these students what everybody has an everyday, workday need to know. The Gymnasium, with the outdoor play area, was kept in the student body well-perfect. The School is situated on a hill overlooking the city of Athens, and on clear days the Blue Ridge mountains are in view. It is a health-giving, life-giving climate. The dormitorios open Friday night, August 30th, and the new school year begins Tuesday, September 15th. Students were in the School last year. New students will need to register promptly for places in the dormitories. Only 400 can be accommodated. NEW KIND OF LEAD PENCIL. Starch Composition Substituted for Wood in Germany. Cedar, commonly employed in the manufacture of lead pencils, is a rather expensive material. On the other hand, in certain countries there are more potatoes of a poor quality than can be readily used. Hence, it occurred not long ago to an ingenious German to use potato starch, suitably hardened, in place of wood in making pencils. The ingredients which he adds to his starch are not publicly announced, but his plan has met with considerable favor in Germany. From a consular report emanating from Magdeburg, in that country, it appears that a company has been formed to utilize the invention. The author of the account sent to Washington says that he has himself seen the new products. Though no bigger than the old pencils, they are a little heavier, and it is said that they can be sharpened more easily. What is more, the composition which is substituted for wood is reported to be cheaper than cedar, so that the cost of manufacture has been reduced. The consul is himself favorably impressed with the idea. IT TASTES JUST THE SAME. "You say you were in the saloon at the time of the assault referred to in the complaint?" asked the lawyer..

"Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a jed spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. During the day it would, get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up. I decided to give Cuticura a trial. When I had used the first box of Cuticura Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Remedies my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Stemman, 7 Summer Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1605."

If the hunter does not want to return immediately to *Camp, the deer should be hung up, after cleaning, and the spot marked In such a way as to be easily located. If the carcass Is spread open when hung up, the fies will not bother it, even though the weather is warm. The “blow fly,” which does the most mischicf, will not enter a wide-open careass, but if a small aperture Is left into which he can crawl, he will creep in and deposit ‘eggs that become working maggots within a few hours, , As to the method of slinging andscarrying: Tie the loose skin ends of the opposite legs together? that is, tie the right front leg and the left hind leg, the right hind leg and the left front one together. This makes what the hunter calls a “crossed sling.” If the deer is a season's fawn or spike buck it may be carried on one shoufder, bat if it welghs eighty’ or one hundred pounds, the better method 1s fo sling {t on both shdulders. ‘To do this easily requires a little practice, as the deer must be lafd down with the tled legs up; the hunter then gets down almost on his back and runs both arms through, drawing it up and slinging It on both shoulders. As shown in the accompany- ing photo, the hunter, who has his deer thus slung has both hands free, and can thus make instant use of his rifle, should the occasion require.

We need more of those old-fashioned, conscientions folk who adhere to the simple way of Ilving, and who Belfeve that every fortune should be earned houestly and ‘fairly by the man who gets it The history of our country shows that the cjtizen who lives close to the soil and to the Influences of nature is far more apt to shape his own politi- cal convictions, instead of being a mere obedient fraction’ of a political ma- chine. He-is certain to be more self-reliant and more stubborn in golding fast to his own idea of what is right. * ¥ = No matter how wonderful the progress of the future may be, the stand- ard virtues of independence, industry, honesty and patriotism can never he Improved. As long as the world lasts they will be the basis of true nation- ul greatness and prosperity. pment} Crane The Passing of the a “St TJ s£,? 5. renuous Life Orne nme By E. J. Appleton.

In speaking of his trip abroad he said: “One of the ‘most fnteresting fea- tures of my work on the continent was the comparison made between the efforts of Denmark and Holland, both noted as butter producing countries, to secure the butter trade of England. Holland had it, but now Denmark has forged ahead. The two butters sold are entirely different, but the south Profits by each. In Denmark cotton seed meal is fed in large quantities to the cattle, and this has been declared by the experiment statiqns there to be the’best butter fat producer known. In Holland another southern product ig used, This fs cotton seed oll which ig mixed with the butter of, Holland to make the famous margerine for which the country is noted.

Such a tax, he Says, would bring the state about $400,000 in additional reyenue. Ths governor also urges the general assembly to pass the bill providing fér an Increase im the fertilizer inspection fee from 10 to 25 cents a ton. It fs purposed to devote the fund raised from this source to the district agricul:ural schools and the stale egricultural college, The governor likewise recom- mends that he be permitted to use any funds In the treasury not other- wis2 appropriated or which may be avallable for the purpose to pay the school teachers of the state during 1906, in order that they may not have to wait for thelr pay long after it Is due. - By a vote of 164 to 0 the Hall anti-pass bill was passed by the house Wednesday afternoon and in the first clash between Joe Hill Hall and the administration, the gentleman frem Bivb was victorious, overwhelmingly.

The amendments offered by Senator Felder were adopted striking out the famous “bridiing clause," which prohibited a hired agent from talking to a member of the general essembly in private and the clause waich provided that state ments of fees paid to such agents should be fled with the secretary of state. The bill, as passed, would not be recognized by its au-hor, and be- yond the provision that all.2ggate, be- fore appearing before the xencna}fue sembly, shall r-gister with the sec- retary of state and tell whom they represent and what legislation they wish to advocate or oppose, makes very little change from the présent Georgia laws against lobbying and bribery.
