He appeals to all churches and members to assist him. A SURPRISE PARTY. A party of young people met at the residence of Mr. Samuel Hillard and carried a surprise to Mrs. S. P. Farrier, of 4000 Finney avenue. Mrs. Farrier, mother of the deceased Miss Leota Farrier, has just returned from Washington, Ind. She was overjoyed with the thought of knowing that the young people had remembered her so kindly during the lonely days. Those who formed the party were. Misses: Justina Freeman, Mae Barrett, H. Luvenia Mallory, Lillian Vanderburg, Hazel Richardson, Frankie Bard, of Chicago. Messrs: Thomas Irving, Bransford Lewis, Samuel Hillard, William Hyatt, Thomas Taylor, of Cairo, Ill., John Douglass. An elaborate musical programme was rendered by the following participants: Miss Mae Barrett played the Beethoven "Moonlight Sonata." It was well rendered. Mr. Thomas Taylor played a selection from Faust. Mr. Lewis' overture, "Poet and Peasant," is well worth mentioning. Mr. Hilliard's vocal selection, Wagner's "Evening Star," was rendered in an excellent voice and with much feeling. He responded to an encore with Roylen's "You." Mr. William Hyatt furnished music for dancing. The party was chaperoned by Mesdames Marietta Polsere, Julia Douglass, and Mr. John Douglass. Every wife, mother and sister should possess one of these irons. Mrs. Hawkins, of 3940 Fairfax avenue, is the agent for them. Give her a call. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, AUGUST 20, 1903. A NEWPORTER'S VIEWS. A Man Who Believes that When a Woman is Good, Color Does Not Count. The Booker Washington Civic Improvement league, of Newport, Ill., met yesterday in G. W. Young's hall, and firmly resolved to take up the much-needed work of ridding the village of the most indescribable lawlessness. Rev. Hoffman's sermon on crime producing thieves and rascals was more than fulfilled in Newport last week and Sunday. Report has it, and with every appearance of truth, that the wretch, the leader of the mob of adulterers, crap-shooters and would-be decent sympathizers, actually attempted to ruin the girl he was rearing. Report says that this school-girl, about 16 years of age, to whom morals and manners must not (?) be taught, only by the parents, ran from a room on Seventh and Morgan streets, or in that vicinity. You may read of famous runs, but the run of this humble and defenseless Colored girl saved her virtue. The learned divines all over the United States preach about the chastity of the innocent WHITE women, not about the individual good WOMAN. WHITE only is good. Women, as a whole, are not good. They are good in so far as they are WHITE. Hence, God created some women bad, since they were not white. That sacredness known as white women, not WOMEN, but WHITE WOMEN, must be protected by that relic of barbarism and anarchy called LYNCHING. Especially is lynching applicable if the offender is a "licentious Negro." Hence, Mayor-of-Belleville-like, many high officials, while betraying the trust of the people by accepting bribes, endeavor to convince them that respect for the law is foremost with them, by introducing jim-crow car bills and inciting the lower and more ignorant of white rabble against the humblest and best class of citizens, in many respects—the NEGRO. The Missouri legislature, BOODLERS, PERJURERS and BRIBE-TAKERS are all of this class. The sentiment of that legislative boodler's speech will be taken up by many a white divine. Now, Mr. Negro, GUILTY or NOT GUILTY? if it is actually true that that sacred essence known not as WOMEN, but as WHITE WOMEN, has been assaulted by a black-faced man, you will atone for it in a furnace of treatment so CRUEL AND HIDEOUS that the barbarous Turk would blush to look upon it. The old black father or mother who has survived the destructive flames of slavery's lake of intensest fire, are compelled to leave humble but dear little homes by mob violence. Seldom, Danville-Illinois-like, is there any redress, any more than there would be on the Congo river. The tender-hearted Christian (?) divines seldom, if ever, preach how the gull-tless Colored people are treated during mob-violence. But these same Christ-like, weeping divines (?) reach their tender sympathy half-way around the world into Russia's internal affairs by means of petition written in the hideous and lurid light of a burning Negro's body. This burning Negro was accused of assaulting, not the chastity of women, but a WHITE WOMAN. He atoned for the hideousness of his crime at the hands of an infuriated mob of the best citizens. The daily journals say, "While maid and matron looked complacently on, and all went merry as a marriage bell." The following Sunday the white divines scriptually teach their congregation mob-law justice; for WHITE WOMEN must be protected. But will a sermon be preached or an article be written about the run made for her purity by that unprotected, NOT WHITE girl? A run from an PALACE OF WINES AND WET CLUBS immoral monster, who wished to reduce her to disgrace and shame. He may well thank his God that the girl was not WHITE, for his black carcass would have been reduced to charcoal long before this, sanctioned by the many officials, white divines and daily newspapers. Who will take as his text the run made by this sixteen-year-old Colored girl for the preservation of her honor? Furthermore, the woman who bravely defended the girl in the fight in the saloon can never loose the reward due her. No matter what sins she may have to answer for, the blessings of mothers will shower upon her for preventing her dastardly husband from injuring the girl he raised. Mrs. Wright, of Jefferson City, has the interest of the order at heart. A. W. Green and Charles Blanton, of Kansas City, built a gallows to hang their superior officers, but they were hanged themselves. A. W. Green was chairman of the caucus. Dr. Casten beat him to the office of board of management. Miss Hattie Williams, of St. Louis, held her own. She was re-elected as vice-grand princess. Miss Ella Lane lost the election of assistant grand secretary. S. T. Pettigrew, grand master U. B. F. and S. M. T., was in the city last Thursday. He spent a few hours at William Farmer's office. Then went to —. The keys of the city will be turn over to the K. of P. next week. Keep your eye on September 3. The grape parade of K. of P. will take place. Mrs. Tillie Ross, and her loving daughter, Miss Beatrice, will return from Chicago, to-morrow. Her daughter, Miss Ross, is the secretary of T.Palladium. Mrs. C. Foster has visited her cousin, Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Lewis, Mothers of Newport, send your daughters to the ebony king of the corrupt dive to be taught morals and manners. He says the day school teacher has no right to do it. Many of you mothers were in sympathy with him. Send your daughters to him. At least let him and the two school members, his backers, select the teacher who shall teach your daughters. ESSENCE. THE SESSION OF U. B. F. AND S. M. T. One little sheet bearing the title of a newspaper, published at Columbia, Mo., attempted to throw mud at the old board of U. B. F. which met at Macon last week. It said that there was some mismanagement of affairs by the old board. The writer of the article must have been looking for something of that kind. By the wise legislation of the board of management of the Grand Lodge last year, the new board was enabled to make an excellent showing. By the aid of Providence only 48 deaths occurred this year, while last year's death list reached 64. A number of the brethren attended the session solely to secure offices, with no regard for the welfare of the order. At its last session there may have been a desire to cast reflection on the old board, but it was nipped in the bud. There never was a more harmonious meeting. More good was accomplished by the order last year than since its organization. ITEMS FROM THE GRAND LODGE At a concert in Macon, Mo., a certain lawyer and a certain principal of St. Louis were the escorts of two pretty girls about three and one-half feet high. Oh, you ought to have seen them! Now, don't mention their names. Mrs. Anderson, of Montgomery, and Mrs. Cummings, of St. Louis, were the most attractive ladies at the session. Mrs. Garnett, of Jefferson City, presided at the organ during the joint session. She is an excellent organist. Prof. Willis N. Brent presided at the joint session of the Grand Lodge. He is the most perfect presiding officer in the state. Mrs. Jennie Irving was the representative of the Palladium in the Grand Temple. Miss Martha V. Webster, the national grand princess, visited the Missouri Grand Lodge. She is a typical Kentucky beauty. She is a teacher in the public schools of Louisville. Mrs. A. Watson, grand secretary of the Grand Temple, is the moving star in that Temple. Her report was the most able we have ever heard. Mrs. Kate Moore, grand princess, is an excellent presiding officer. She is loved and respected by all. Miss Linnie Green, of Macon, worked very hard to make the Grand Temple a success. Mr. J. Goatley, a member of Justice lodge No. 100, had better attend to his Kansas City ladies and let the St. Louis lady, who once lived in Mexico, alone. You understand! Mr. J. W. Swan, of Mexico, Mo. keeps us guessing as to what sort of a man he is. Well ____? Mrs. Lulu Brenner, secretary of Elizabeth Temple No. 12, attended the session, looking as lovely as ever. She was accompanied by her little daughter Cecelia. Mrs. Annie Hyatt, princess of Electa Temple, was also present. Mrs. Della Fields, of Carondelet, was present, accompanied by Mrs. Annie Smith and Mrs. Martha Mitchell, princess or Eureka Temple. LAST, BUT NOT LEAST.

A current prediction is that the world’s yield of gold'will be doubled in ten years. If this rate of increase 4s to be kept up a new definition of money may be needed.

It runs from Gellivare, an inland town in Sweden, located 50 miles north of the Aretic circle, to Ofo- ten, on the coast of Norwey. It has been built by the English owners of the iron deposits near Gellivare for the transportation of the ore to tide water Among the Jefferson relics to be shown at St. Louis will be a display ‘of articles and papers once belonging to Mr. Jefferson, the chair in which he sat while writing the declaration of independence, the French clock he used at Monticello, a replica of his statue, which will be placed in the new parthenon to be erected in his honor in Washington city. ‘The New York capitol has cost $23,- 721,900.

Indiana has expend- ed_ $3,000,000 for the same purpose, Towa $3,500,000, Kansas $3,500,000 and Minnesota $2,000,000. Congressman Littlefield and Joseph Manley, both powerful men in Maine polities, are publicly opposed to chang- ing the present prohibition law of that state into a statute providing for iocal option. ‘The influences they represent will ea%ly control the re- publican state convention, and there- fore the movement to force the resub- mission of prohibition to the voters is not likely to prosper. Leo XIII. was the second in length ‘of pontificate, and the third in point of age of the popes. ‘The only pope who reigned longer than he was his immediate predecessor, Pius IX., whose reign of 31 years and 7 months was ‘considerably longer than his 25 years and 4 months. The two popes who surpassed the 93 years to which Leo XL attained last March were St. Agathus, who died in 682 at the great age of 107, and Gregory IX., who suc- cumbed in 1241 at that of 99.

Magelssen Murdered at Beirut, Syria, by Turks. VICTIM WAS FROM MINNESOTA eh men ee DRE ag Na eee. Washington, Aug. 28—The state de- partment has received @ cablegram from Minister Leischman, at Con- stantinople, announcing that William C. Magelssen, United States vice-consul at Beirut, Syria, was assassinated, Sunday, while riding in a carriage. ‘che American minister immediately brought the crime to the attention of the government and demanded action by Turkey. Acting Secretary Loomis cabled Minister Leischman instructing him to demand the immediate arrest and punichment of the persons guilty ot the murder. No demand for money indemnity for the man’s family has yet been made, but that probably will fol- low. Magelssen was appointed from Minnesota. ee a iets. | Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 28.—Prest- dent Roosevelt, Thursday night, issued orders that the American-European squadron under command of Rear-Ad- miral Cotton, should proceed at once to Beirut, Syria, to be in readiness to support any demand the United States may make on account of the assassina- tion there’of Vice-Consul Magelssen. ‘Acting Secretary of the Navy Darl- ing sent the following telegram, at 12:15 last night, to Rear-Admiral Cot- ton, at Nice: “Vice consul at Beirut reported as- sassinated. Proceed immediately near- est port. Report. [Signed] “DARLING.” It is expected the squadron will get away {mmediately upon the receipt of this cablegram, the Brooklyn, Sar Francisco and Machias going together ‘The Brooklyn and the San Franciseo are at Villefranche and the Machias is at Genoa. Magelssen, who is a Scandinavian was appointed vice-consul at Beirut September 20, 1899, by Consul Gabrie Bie Ravudal, who is of the same na tionality. At the time of his appoint ment @8 viee-consul he was a consulal clerk in Turkey. Magelssen was ap: pointed on ihe recommendation of Sen ator Nelson, of Minnesota, who says that he was the son of a prominen’ Lutheran minister. He was born at Bratsburg, Filmore county, Minnesota Itr. Magelssen was 30 years old, hav- ing been born in 1873, He was educat- ed in the common schools of Minnesota and was a student of the Lutheran col- lege at Decorah, Ia., for three years For a time he was assistant city asses: sor of Sioux Falls, 8. D., and also as- soclate editor of a paper called the Echo, published there. In the absence of particulars no motive can be as- eribed for the crime, and the state de- | partment officials have no means of suggesting a theory as to why the vice- consul should have been Killed. There have been no complaints, and the mea- ger cablegram conveys not the slight- est suggestion of a cause for the crime President Roosevelt is concerned over the situation, as it has developed to-day, because it indicates an intolera- ble condition of affairs in Turkey. H: recalls the fact that only recently Russian consul was murdered in Tur- key. The European squadron is so sitt ated that it will require several days for it to rendezvous at Beirut. Mean- time the officials of the state depart- ment will be fully advised by Minister Leishman of the details of the crime and the presidert will then be in a position to present to Turkey the de- mands of the United States with naval force on the spot of sufficient ‘sirength to enforce them adequately.

TWO LIVES LOST IN FLOOD Two Men Sacrifice Their Lives in Attempting to Rescue Others. mhree Others Mining smd Are ‘Thought to be Loxt—AH Rail- ‘road Tratitc Blockaded. Council Bluffs, Ia, Aug. 28—The Missouri river valley from Missouri Valley, 20 miles north, to Pacific June- tion, 15 miles south of here. is almost 1 lake for the entire distance, and of -4e five trunk lines running east from here only one, the Illinois Central, is able to get a train in or out of the city. ‘Two persons, H. H. Larue, of Corn- ing, and A. R. Fash, a Clinton (ia.) horseman, lost their lives while at- tempting to rescue a number of per- sons from the fair grounds, which ‘were suddenly flooded. Larue was electrocuted while pushing a boat un- der an electric light wire, and Fash was crowned. Three others are miss- ing, and are thought to have lost their lives on the flooded fair grounds. The flood was caused by a sudden rise in the Nodaway river early Thursday, which submerged the grounds before those having charge of the exhibits knew of their danger, part of them be- ing asleep. The water reached a depth of 21 feet on the grounds, and washed away a number of building. ‘The railroads are the heaviest suf- ferers from the flood. The Burlington, east and south, has half a dozen bad washouts, and their track is under wa- ter at a number of other points. Their bridge at Maivern was washed out en- tirely, and traffic is badly blockaded. ‘The Wabash road, which runs south, has several washouts. The Northwestern tracks between this city and Missouri Valley are near- jy all under water, and no trains have been run over them. At Red Oak,— Hastings, Vilisea, Glenwogd and Malvern from four to seven inches of rain fell, and the en- tire country {s flooded. The Rock Is!- and road has been unable to get trains further west than Atlantic, and the Milwaukee is blockaded at Neola. SOLVING MURDER OF A CHILD. Police Aceuxe Ex-Conyiet Whe Wanted to “See What Was In- xide” Hin Vietim, Detroit, Mich., Aug. 28—After a week of investigation the police think they have learned who the murderer of four-year-old Alphonse Wilmes is, and they have sent broadcast over the country circulars offering a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of Charles Price, alias Emil Waltz. Price, or Weltz, as he is known fn Detroit, was seen on the day of the little feliow’s disappearance near the spot where the body was found, and he was also seen within a block of the Wilmes home. The police also have a person to whom Waltz, it is alleged, very recently made a proposi- tion to get a child and cut it open “to see what was inside.” Waltz, as he is best known to the police, is an ex-convict of such habits, it is alleged, as to place him under suspicion as being capable of such a crime. He answers the description of the man who committed a similar murder at Rockford, Ill. “FAKE DIRECTORY” SWINDLE. Jacob Geist Taken Into Custody Charged With Swindling Baok- ‘evs and Merchants: Louisville, Ky., Aug. 28—A “fake directary” swindle of national propor- tions and by means of which over $1,- 090,000 has been taken from merchants, bankers, etc., all over the country, is alleged by the local detectives as the ground for the arrest of Jacob W. Geist. Geist, who claimed to represent the Na- tional Gazetteer, of New York, and Chicego, was taken Into custody here, Thursday, charged with having ob- tained money by false pretenses from five local firms. The officers declare that Geist's doings are connected with those of James Fallon, arrested in New York last April, and of Arthur Hub- bard, arrested in Washington about the same time on similar charges. Ac- cording to the detectives the men go to merchants and solicit advertising. If a bonifide order signed by the mer- chent is given it is raised in amount and s0 changed as to provide for pay- ment at a date before delivery of the directory and advertisement. If the mer- ebant refuses he is persuaded to sign @ blank application for a sample copy which later appears as a contract for payment over the victim's signature, It is said that many merchants. have Paid rather than become involved in legal difficulties. The five local firms were swindled in amounts ranging from $25 to $100. The officers claim the scheme is being worked all over the United States and Europe, with a central office where the papers are al- tered by means of acids and printing ‘@ppilances.

ADAMS sie MR. PENCE DISCOVERS GOLD. With much difficulty Mr. Simon Pence sealed the heights overlook ing the bay, and, aided by Vincent, finally reached the top. He cast one lingering look behind, and followed his young and sturdy companion into the lucf-jungle which lay before them. They found it possible, by following the cliffs along the ocean, to make fairly rapid progress. Their march was hindered by frequent gorges, but they proceeded laborious- ly but steadily in a southern diree- tion Shortly after neon they ate their luncheon. They rested on a ledge fronting the sea, Two miles to thé south a huge crag reached out into fie dive water, and beyond no land was visible. They decided to make an attempt to climb the promontory, believing that it wouldatford a view of the sonth shore, and perhaps @ eneral survey of the island. ‘The brush thickened. ‘They slowly forced their way through a thicket; Mr. Penee in advance, Suddenly he gave a ery of terror, and fell over Vincent in his wild retreat. Iefore them stood a monster—the grotesque figure of a human being, with outstretched arms, hideous face aul protruding teeth, At a glance Vincent renognized it as a stone im- age, and shouted reassuringly to the fleeing explorer. In the open space before them were the massive ruins of temples ani palaces; the tomb of a city which had flourished and decayed long before the dawn of reeorded history, $n mound and_ terrace were crumbling relles of a former grindour The ruins covered many agres, and hy back from the cliffs a distance not exeveding 100 yards. There Were traces of ancient fountains, with fgares half-buried in the mud mil slime of what once were pleas- Ing pois, In the center of the ruined city wos a pyramidal mound, surmount- et by the wreek of what once must have leon an imposing structure. Vincent climbed up this mound and gwel with awe on the grewsome figures which were seattered in odd Postures around the stone floor of the temple. In one corner the floor tad caved in and revealed a subter- Fanean vault or ¢hamber of un- kuown extent, Vineent lowered him- ‘elf to the floor below. At first it was fo dark he could not survey his sur- Tundings, bet his eyes became ac- customer to the gloom, He stumbled ‘over the uneven surface and entered 4 passageway leading to the left, Me. Pence called to him from over head, and Vineent answered; his Yolee sounding sepulehral as it *choed throngy the corridors. A fallen stone block half elosed the pening into a smaller room. Vin- cent lit a match and entered. ‘The Walls were covered with a growth { finzus, but his eyes were riveted ') a collection of carved figures of ‘rious size whieh lined three sides of the wall, ili’ evidently were images or Mois, and were ugly enough to have {ate the worshippers jnto any eon- {sion or belief. ‘They rested on & stone shelf formed by the top of { Possic wainscoting whieh project- {i fom the wots, Vineent picked {P one of the smaller images and consul back to examine 1 more tenally in the daylight.

What's it made of?” Vincent pulled himself out of the hole and brushed the mold from his clothes. Mr. Pence looked intently at the image. He “hefted” it judi- ciously. It was of a rusty brown color, but smooth and well pre- served. “Remarkably heavy!” said Mr. Pence. His eyes glittered and he ‘Was much excited. “Let me take your knife,” he sald. Vincent produced'a knife and opened the big blade. Mr. Pence dug into the flat nose of the idol. He gave the knife a circular motion, and on the end of the blade lay a shining yellow chip. “Gold!” he shouted. “Gold! Solid gold! Solid gold, and it weighs more than ten pounds!” The face of the millionaire was a study. For a moment it shone with the ‘splendor of the goid shaving which rested in the palm of his hand. At that instant he was oblivious to his surroundings. He clenched the image tightly and regarded it with a rapt expression such as a mother lavishes on her babe. Suddenly his attitude changed. He recovered him- self with a start. His face darkened. He glared at Vincent and drew back from him as in aversion. “Where did you find this?” he al- most shrieked in a voice harsh and trembling with excitement. “Back in there,” said Vincent, wav- ing his hand away from the mouth of the cavern “There’s lots of them back there.” “Take me there! Take me there!” He dropped his voice almost to a whisper. He glanced around as if expecting some one might see or hear him. “They belong to us,” he said, lay- ing his hand affectionately on Vin- cent’s shoulder. “Lo us; do you um derstand, to us. We found them— you and I. They are ours, Vincent, all ours. We will divide them be- tween us two—just you and I. Help me down there. Let me see them. ‘Are you sure there is a lot of them? Perhaps they are not like this one. Bigger, did you say? Which way is it?) How awful dark it is! Take hold of my hand!” Before the magic of the touch of gold the natural cowardice of the el derly millionaire disappeared. Twice he fell and bruised his hands, but ay ag Rh ee SS bo hecho ] oh es Y |\ Sorte a = NY WES E KS Tia AL ee wil pin — AL THEY WERE UGLY ENOUGH he did not care. They came to the vault. Vineent went in first and lit a mateh. Mr. Pence gave an exclamation of delight. He rushed to one of the images, lifted it, ran his fingers lovingly over the sur- face and laughed with joy. ‘The match burned out and the room was dark as midnight. “Light another, quick!” shouted Simon Pence. “I'll tell you what you do,” he exclaimed, as the match lightened up the gloom, “I will stand outside and you hand them to me, and I will carry them where we can see them.” Vincent did as he was told. He started at one end of the shelf and felt his way around, and handed the images to the outstretched hands of Mr. Pence, who carried them along the corridor and placed them in a corner of the outer room. It took an hour or more to do this, at the end of which timeVincent de- clared that all figures were re- moved. Mr. Pence began testing the images. As he dug into cach idol and found it gold his joy knew no bounds. Vincent also was de- lighted, He owned a half interest in more property than he ever had hoped to obtain, unjess by chance some of his cherished plans should find a financier. Both forgot the flight of time. They counted the idols and images and found there were 63. They then attempted to estimate the weight of their treas- ures, They calculated the smallest one at ten pounds and the others ranged all the way up to one esti- mated at not less than 70 pounds. ‘As nearly as they could judge, aft- er carefully estimating the weight of each image, the total was about 4,575 pounds. “How much is gold worth a pound?” asked Vincent, as he held ‘an idol out at arm's length. He re- membered that he could “hold out” ‘a weight of 30 pounds, and this one required all of his muscular effort. “Gold is worth about $224 8 pound,” said Mr. Pence. “That is based on the amount of gold in coins. This looks like pure geld to me. It is awful soft, Don't rub that image like that; you will wear it out. What time is it?” Vincent had no watch; neither had Mr. Pence, but they thought it was atout three o'clock in the afternoon. ‘“\e must be going back at once,” said Vincent. “What are we going to do with those things? We ean’t carry them with us. Let's each take two of the smalier ones and start along. We can get help toamorrow ‘ind cerry the rest of them to the ‘bungalow. In_ the meanwhile we wit put them back in thet vault" { “What are you talking about,’ man?” exclaimed Simon Pence. “Go and leave this gold here? Never! Never, sir, never! Go away and leave $330,000 in gold unguard- ed? I cannot think of it, You go back to camp and get help. I will remain.” “Who is going to find it or steal it?” demanded Vincent. “The chanees are that no one has been here before in a thousand years. If they had been, the gold would not be here. It is as safe as in a vault in New York. Come along, Mr. Pence. How dark it is getting! What is that moaning sound? We must go back, It is going to storm.” “I will never leave this gold here!” said Mr. Pence. “It is not safe. You go back and I will remain. I am not afraid. I will stay all night if necessary. Come back in the morning and bring help and food.” “That is foolish, Mr. Pence,” said Vincent. He had climbed out of the cavern and stood facing the sea. “Come on,” he said. “There is go- ing to be an awful storm. It looks like a hurricane. Come on; you must not remain here.” “Go back, and let me alone,” said Mr. Pence. “I will never, _ never leave here alive with this gold’ un- guarded. I have a gun, I am not afraid. Go on back to the camp. ‘Tell them the gold is ours—ail ours. If ie here and take care of it, I ought to have more than half of it. Go ahead, before the storm reaks!” It was useless to argue with him. Vincent bade him good-bye and started on a run for Morton’s Bay. He had not gone a quarter of a mile before the storm struck the is- land. ‘The first blast swept him from his feet. A falling tree half buried him in its branches, and his face was scratched and bleeding. A few rods away was a gully. Strug- gling to his feet he ran and erawled in that direction. He remembered reaching the edge of the gully. ‘There was a crash and a roar; Vin- cent saw a flash of light and lost consciousness. How long this lasted he did not know. He awoke with the rain beating on his face. There was a dull pain in his head. ‘The rage of the storm was demoniacal. Crawling along the ground, guided by the incessant flashes of light- ning, he reached the shelter of a rock, which he shared with an igu- ana and a huge rock python, whose shiny Seales glistened in the flame from the heavens. The two reptiles enddled up to the explorer. ‘The big snake ran his flat head between Vincent's coat and his back, and lay. motionless. The lizard was more nervous, and ran back and forth along the nar- row ledge. but lay most of the time with his crested back resting against Vincent's right arm. “I was not afraid of them,” Vin- cent explained later. “The storm was so much more frightful than they that I did not mind them. I knew that both of them were harm- less, thongh that snake was big enough to swallow a deer or a man. But he was as seared at the storm as I was, amd I tell you any com- pany was welcome that night. 1 went asleep fnally, and when I woke up the storm was over and the snake and lizard were gone.” | Simon Pence was venturing out of his dungeon when the storm swept in from the sea. He heard the roar and dropped back in time to miss a palm tree, torn up by the roots and hurled over his head. An instant later one of the huge monoliths fell from its pedestal and crashed through the floor to the south of where he stood. He ran back and forth shouting and waving his hands in terror, From a hundred crevices the rain poured in streams upon the floor. At first it ran down the black corridor, but as the storm inereased it began to rise. Inch by inch it rose. The millionaire "splashed through the mnddy flood and took | refuge on a slab of stone which had fallen from the floor above. Here he remained all night, the waters steadily creeping toward him until at last St seemed to find an outlet to the west and remained station- ary. The idols and images in the far corner were half buried in de- bris and water. ‘The larger one lifted its head above the flood, and | bis wieked eyes gleamed in their sockets in the flashes of lightning. Blue flames of electrictiy ran along the walls of the cavern; balls of fire and tongues of phosphorescent flame | glowed in its depths. Above the roar and turmoil of the storm, Mr. Pence could hear wailing cries as of | some soul in torment. It was prob- ably his imagination, but there were ‘| sounds as if giants were struggling Jon the shattered floors above his ‘| head. | ‘Through the Jong night Mr. Pence ‘| remained in this cavern and heard ‘plained what had happened, and the ‘three set forth for the temple where ‘Mr. Pence wus guarding the treas ure, The indignation of Sidney and Mr. Morton was tempered by a fear that the millionaire had not sur- vived the fate which his avarice had tempted. ‘They soon reached the temple, At first they did not observe Mr. Pence. Vincent had erawled down into the cavern and announced that no one was there before Sidney discovered the slumbering guardian under a calabash tree. It was a pathetic figure which thea three men approached. His hat had fallen to the ground, and the matted gray hair half covered the eyes of the sleeping financier. One hand was firmly clutched to the idol. (In the relaxed fingers of the other hand was a stout club, ‘The linen clothes were bedraggled in mud and slime, ‘The right foot was in a pool of wa- ter. Were it not for the slight but regular heaving of the soiled shirt bosom they would have thought him dead. Mr. Morton pushed the idol with his foot. The hand of the sleeper instinctively tightened its grip. fis awoke with a start, and with sur- prising agility sprang to his fect “Back! back!” he shouted. “You shall not have it! I will die first!” He brandished the club defiantly and swung a blow at Mr. Morton, who stepped back, and narrowly evaded it. “Wake up, Mr, Pence.” said Sidney Hammond. “You are all right! Come out of your trance; it is time to go home.” Simon Pence blinked his eyes, rap his hand over his forehead and came to his senses. He threw himself into Sidney’s arms and gave way to his emotions. When he recovered there was no difficulty in persuading him to go back to the bungalow. In fact, he was eager to go. The ex- periences of the night had overmas- tered his rapacity. Each of the four carried one of the images, and an hour later were on the raft and soon after all the members of the Social Island Colony once more were be- neath the roof of the bungalow. After a meal they repaired to thetr rooms and enjoyed several hours ot refreshing sleep.

Dr. Parkin, in his address be fore the Ministerial union at Wither. spoon hall one Monday, told two good stories, The first was of a young min- ister in the coal regions who had an impediment in his speech, He tried many remedies without avail, till at last, after saving a goodly proportion of his salary by denying himself the comforts of life, he came to Philadel- phia to be cured, because he had heard there were so many “speak- easies” here. ‘The other was a mine ister whose education in business matters had been sadly neglected. He bad a small charge also, and eked ous a living by writing for the papers ‘One day he received a check for $13, made payable to his order. He took it to the local bank, and, handing it in, was told to indorse it. We hesi- tated a moment, and then, taking up the precious document, wrote on the back: “I heartily indorse this check.” —Philadelphia ‘Telegraph. a RESTLESS An amusing incident was witnessed in a cigar store the other afternoon, A newsboy, having picked up a cigar stump, walked in and, address- ing the man behind the counter, said: “Say, boss, give us a match.” The The man behind the counter, fooking down, said: “My young friend, we are not here for the purpose of giving away matches; we sell thera.” “How much are dey?” was the question. “One cent a box,” the clerk’ an- nounced. ‘The urchin stuck his hand into his pocket and produced, after a great deal of hunting, a penny and handed it to the man. He received his box of matches, and, taking one out, lit the “butt.” Returning the ox to the man back of the ease, he said: “Say, put dis box on de shelf, and when a gentleman comes along and asks you for a match, why, give him one out of my box.”—Cincinnatd Enquirer. Gia viae Satan 4a ene Andrew Simpson, one of the oldest yoters in Baltimore, recalls with much amusement an incident at an election in the city in know-nothing times. A visitor to Baltimore was walking near one of the polls with his wife when he was approached by some of the know-nothings and asked to vote. He replied that he did not live in Baltimore, but they said that did not make any differ- ence and hustled him up to the polls and made him vote. ‘Then they threw him into the street. Another party came along, brushed the mud off him, declared it was a shame to treat him so, and asked him to vote: again, He protested that he had just voted, ‘but that made no difference, and he yoted and was again thrown into the street. In that way he voted three times.—Baltimore Sun. = aan An English contemporary tells the following good story of muscular Christianity: In a smoking room of a hotel in Dublin, where sat a huge priest, some men were scofling stupid~ ly about miracles. Up rose the priest and offered to perform a miracle. He seized the most blatant of the scof- fers, carried him to the door, «nd Kicked him into the street. When the unhappy youth returned the priest asked, “\n’ did ye break your back?” “I did not.” was the answer, oWell, it's a miracle ye didn't,” are swered the priest.-N. ¥: Tetbene. { tAN\ SFOCS)] alle) mS ict ny fT ass Tint vay 7) Sh A Z Fi (Bd Hale i= , THREE MEASURFS, ae a es ee eee Teles The space between the earth and sky; I thank Thee for my human mind, IF WE HAD OUR CHOICE. we are tempted to think, says Rev. J. R, Miller, D. D., in New York» Ob- server. If this were permitted to us, no doubt there would be a great change in the method of what we now call Prov- idence. We would at once eliminate all that is painful and unpleasant in our lot. We would have only prosperities, with no adversities, only joys, with no sorrows. We would exclude pain from our lifeandalltrouble. Thedays would all be sunny, with no clouds or storms. The paths would all be mossy and strewn with flowers, without thorns or any rough places. All this bas a very pleasing aspect for us, when we think of it lightly and in ‘a superficial way. Would not that be better than as we have it now? Would we not be happier, and would not life mean more to us in blessing and good, if we could direct our own affairs, and leave out whatever is painful, bitter, ad- verse or sorrowful? So most of us would probably say at first, before we have thought of the question deeply and looked on to the end. But really the greatest misforiune that could come to us in this world would be to have the direction of the affairs and the shaping of the experiences of our lives put Into our own hands. We have no wisdom to know what is best for ourselves. To- day fs not all of life—there fs a long fu- ture, perhaps many years in this world, and then immortality hereafter. What would give us greater pleasure to-day might work us harm in days to come. Present gratification might cost us un- told Joss and hurt in the future. Our wants and our real needs are not always the same. We want pleasure, plenty, prosperity—perhaps we need pain, self-denial, the giving up of things that we greatly prize. Weshrink from suffering, from sacrifice, from struggle—perhaps these are the very experiences which will do the most for us, which will bring out in us the best possibilities of our natures, which will fit us for the largest service to God and man, ‘There 1s something wonderfully {n- spiring in the thought that God has a plan and a purpose for ourlives, for each life. We do not come drifting into ths world, and we do not drift through it, like waifs on the ccean. We are sent from God, each one of us, with a divine thought for His life—something God ‘wants us to do, some place He wants us to fill. All through our lives we are in the hands of God, Who chooses our place and orders our circumstances, and 1s ready to make all things work together for our good. Our part in all this is the acceptance cf God's will for our lives as that will is made known to us day by day. If we thus acquiesce in the DI- vine way for us, we shall fulfill the Di- vine purpose. It is the highest honor that could be conferred upon us to occupy such 2 place in the thought of God. We cannot doubt that His way for us is better than ours, since He is infinitely wiser thar we are, It may be painful and hard, but in the pain and the hardness there is Ddlesaing. One is called apart from active life and shut up In a sick-room. It seems to him that histime is being wastéd. There are many things that need to be done, and which he might have done, instead of lying there with folded hands in his darkened room. Peopie to whom his Mfe is a continual blessing miss him when he comes not. He seems in his fllness to be leaving a great blank where there ought to have been many good deeds and gentle ministries. Besides this loss to others and to the work of the world, sickness is most costly to the sick man himself. Its money cost {s great. Then its burden of suffering fs great. ‘What is there to compensate for al this loss and cost to make the long !II- ness really a blessing? Is there any- thing? If we were directing the af. fairs of our own lives, we would not put the sickness in. Is it possible that God's. way is better than ours would have been? Of course we may rot claini to know all the reasons there are in the Divine mind for the pains and-cufferings that come into our lives, or what God's de- sign is for us In these trials. Withou! discovering any reasons at all, we may still trust God, Who loves us with ar {nfinite love, and Whose wisdom also i infinite. But we can think of some ways in which it {s-possible for blessins and zocd to come out of sick-roém ex. perience. ‘The Master has other work for w becides what we do in our common oc cupations. We-have other leceors t learn besides those we get from book: and friends and current events, ax through life's ordinary experiences There is a work to be done !n us, in our own hearts andlives, which iseven more important than anything easigned to us in the scheme of the wor! i's autivities. There are lessons which we can learn much better in the quiet shaded sick- room than outside, in tne glare of the streets and amid the clamor of earth’ strifes. Our shut-in days need never be lost days. Whatever they may cost usin money or in suffering, we need not be poorer when thry are over than if we had been busy all the while at the world’s tasks. ‘We need only to accept God's way and go as He leads, and at the end we shall find that in not the smallest matter have we ever been unwisely led, but that at every step He has brought us to some good. We do not know what the future, even the nearest hour of the future, may have for us, but we know that we can- not drift beyond our Father's love and care, and that all that may occur, darkly or disastrously, will reveal joy and bless- ing at the end. ‘Yesterday, when ¥ safd, Thy will be done, knew not what that will of Thine would be, ‘What clouds would gather black across my ‘What storm and desolation waited me; I knew Thy jove would give me what was dest, * And I am glad I could not know the rest. ‘Thy will be done, Tsay, and to the scroll ‘Of unread years consenting set my namez Day after day their pages will unroll In shining words that prove Thy love the same, ‘Until my years are gathered into one Eternal, sanctified, ‘any will be done. RELIGION AND BENEVOLENCE. The People Who Love God Found te Be Those Who Truly Love ‘Their Fellow Men. Last year a city which maintained a fresh-air mission for mothers and sick children faced its annual need of a large contribution. A canvass of the situa- tion showed that in the past years the money to maintain the work had come almost wholly from church contribu tions: The committee which had the work in charge thought this unfortu- nate, since so much of the money was given by those who were already large contributors to many other charitable causes. ‘There was a feeling, too, saya Youth's Companion, that the giving constituency might be greatly enlarged by an appeal to the mon-churchgolng portion of the community. The char- ity itself was purely humanitarian, free from all sectarian associations, and en- joyed entire popular confidence and favor. It was decided, therefore, to appoint a prominent clubman as treasurer, to secure the cooperation of social and lit- erary clubs, the indorsement of the secular press, and the agencies other than religious, which might promote this end; and, in order that the success of ‘the movement might be tested, arrange- “ments were made for the careful tabula- ‘tion of the returns. ‘The plan worked well. ‘The clubs in- dorsed the movement; the press gave it abundant space and hearty support; the banks became willing depositories, and posted cards above the windows of the tellers inviting their patrons to make contributions. The sum received was large, a substantial increase over pre- vious years. The churches abated ne part of their usual effort, and many other agencies assisted. ‘When the returns were all In, ac the results tabulated and published, ft wat found not only that the wide advertis- ing had increased the contributions ot the churches, but that the yast majority of the men who had sent their contribu- tions through the banks or to the treas- urer direct by check were men whose gift was made in response to the au- peal of the churches, More than 98 per cent. of the money received came from people known to be regular church at- tendants. ‘The whole city was astonished, per haps no one moreso than the churchet themselves. “There 1s no use talking,” said the treasurer, “I am as much sur- prised as anyone. ‘There was no rivalry about it, no attempt to make a goo showing for the churches. ‘The simple truth {s that people who love God are those who truly love thelr felllow men.” Col. Ingersoll was accustomed to say: “The hands that help are holier than the lips that pray.” He failed to note that the hands that help and the lipsthat pray are commonly closely related. Some men pray and do not help, more’s the pity, and some men who do not pray de help, and deserve due praise for thelr helping. But it {s possible both to help and pray, and in general he helps most Ge ee aaa HELPFUL AND TRUE.

T., has met and passed, another grand body, the Knights of Pythias, will meet in St. Louis on August 31. This powerful organization will make its session one to be remembered. A grand time is anticipated. Companies from all sections of the United States will assemble here. A parade a mile long will pass through some of the most important streets of the city. Hohen's grove has been engaged for one week, for the purpose of entertaining strangers and native St. Louisans. A drama, followed by a grand ball, will be held at the exposition. This order is composed of men from every walk of life, from the professional to the humblest workman. They are joined, however, under the same band of F. C. and B., and St. Louis heartily welcomes all who assemble at this, one of this city's most notable events. Those who wished to know the whereabouts of Rev. P. J. Jackson will find him at 710 South Sixth street. THE TWO NEW PASTORS OF NORTH ST. LOUIS. We are informed that Rev. Dowing and Rev. H. Davis are watching over a few people who call themselves Baptist. We would like for them to call On The Palladium man and tell him something. Mrs. Mitchell and Mrs. P. Jackson are members of said church. We ask, for the sake of all concerned, that they call upon the new pastors and find out what's the trouble with The Palladium man. What preacher was it in North St. Louis that one of the deacons caught betting on race-horses? We know all about it. We take pleasure in mentioning the Denslow Studio of Macon, Mo. A picture of the members of the Grand Lodge and Temple was taken by Mr. Denslow. They are only 65 cents. Everyone should secure one of these photos. See his ad. We hope that the action of the association has settled the question pertaining to Rev. Cohron's tabernacle. We are also informed that J. L. Cohron's membership in that association has been put to sleep. That ought to settle the matter, and the members of the Tabernacle ought to go back to Central and acknowledge their wrong. THE RAMSEY ROOMING HOUSE. We take pleasure in presenting to the public Mrs. Hattie Ramsey who has come to St. Louis to enter into business. Mrs. Ramsey is from McMinnville, Tennessee. She came well recommended by some of the leading men of that state, namely: Dr. R. Boyd, Dr. Crawford, Dr. Noel, Dr. Martin and others. She fully comprehends the task before her and contemplates a success. She is a thorough business woman. She is now at 12 South Fifteenth street. She is buying her home and will soon be fitted up from bottom to top with the most elegant furniture. We wish her success. A New Restaurant. Mrs. N. Sydnor, of 2741 Wash street, has opened a new restaurant. She is from Memphis, and we believe she will prosper. Meals to suit all. Prices from 15 cents to 25 cents. [Name] First Baptist Church Notes There was a grand rally at the First Baptist church last Sunday, for the purpose of raising the thousand dollars to pay the church debt. Rev. Kelly Rucks, with his congregation, was invited to preach the morning sermon, by Rev. Cole. Rev. Rucks preached an excellent sermon. The presidents of the Pleasant Workers, Carnation, Ruth and the Gentelemen's clubs were called forward by Rev. Cole after the sermon for the purpose of receiving the contributions of various members. Afterwards a sumptuous repast was served in the chapel, after which the guests were invited into the auditorium to listen to a sermon by Rev. S. P. Cheers, of Brooklyn, Ill., at 3 p. m. Rev. Cole introduced the speaker, who immediately began his sermon. A liberal collection was then taken up. Those of Pleasant Green church who took an active part in the collection were Rev. Kelly Rucks, Rev. Jordan, of Mississippi, Revs. Martin, Joseph Arnold, Bowley and Vaughn. The ladies of the Twelve Tribes of Israel were: Mesdames Luvenia Tolle, Addie Hauston, Mamie Baptiste, Alice East, Lucy Ellis, Georgia Holmes, Patsy Bradley, Minnie Crawford; also Mr. Frank Baptiste.

Jackson, one of the most noted evangelists of the present time. Rev. Jackson's sermon was a noble one, and was well received. Another collection was then taken up, which, including the trolley parties, suppers, etc., netted the various clubs, namely: the Pleasant Workers, $147.15; Carnation, $189.76; Ruth, $186.86; and The Gentlemen, $23.94.

MEAD CYCLE 60., Chicago, ill. WOMAN AND HOME THE AMERICAN BEAUTY. A Composite Made of Photographs of Society Women Noted for Their Attractiveness. Both in its modeling and composition the typical American face is entirely distinctive. A characteristic style in architecture or literature in the United States remains perhaps to be developed, but the American character, temperament, spirit, call it what you will, has already stamped itself indelibly on our physilognomy. The American woman as a type is famous for beauty touched with intelligence. And although the type is comparatively new her character is indicated as unmistakably as that of any of her A. Euporean sisters. The American woman is recognized the world over. The type is besides found in bewildering variety, yet each is unmistakable. The blending of many familiar types of American womanhood in the composite photograph reproduced herewith affords a unique opportunity for judging the typical face. Familiar as the type, or rather types, are, few perhaps can call up a definite mental picture of the general type itself. The composite face of American women, therefore, fills a long felt want. A score or more of artists have patronized the American girl. The drawings are almost always interesting, many of them are charming and all may be readily identified as the American girl, yet no two are alike or even similar. No other country in the world, it is safe to say, affords such an opportunity to its artists. In England, for instance, there is a well known type of beauty, somewhat pale and expressionless, perhaps, but unmistakable English. And there is only one. In America there is often a single family in which every daughter illustrates an entirely distinctive beauty, yet without losing the family resemblance. The composite photograph combines as far as possible the most characteristic types of American beauty as illustrated by twenty well known New York women. It is too much, of course, to claim that the list is complete, but it is at least fairly representative. Nor can it be claimed for such a blending that the ideal type of American beauty has been attained. So varied and distinctive are the types that hundreds of types would have to be considered in such a balance. The composite face, however, is as general and representative as it well can be. Compare it with the typical beauties of other countries, allowing for the impressionistic effect inseparable from such a picture, and the result to the most critical eye cannot fall to be reassuring. The American woman as portrayed in her composite photograph contrasts strikingly with the typical faces of other countries. The face is perhaps, less nervous than that of the typical French woman, especially the young French woman, but to the American eye, at least, it seems better balanced. in contrast with a characteristic English face the difference is especially marked. The two faces express an entirely different mentality. The American woman, set beside her English cousin, suggests wider and more varied interests and an unmistakable air of independence which strangely becomes her. Compared with the typical Teutonic face, the American woman appears the more alert and vivacious. Among those whose photographs make up the composite are Miss Helen Morton, Mrs. Chaucey M. Depew, Mrs. Payne Waittney, Miss Alice Roosevelt, Miss Nathalie Schenck, Mrs. Cornellus Vanderbilt, Jr., and Mrs. John Jacob Astor. — Kansas City Star. Rain Bath for Pillows.

Easy Way by Which to Increase Bust Measurement Two Inches in Three Months. The neck and chest can be developed finely in three months by the following rules: As you walk about raise the shoulders quickly and then throw them back and then down. Count quickly as you do it—1-2-3—raising them to 1 and so on. After going through this three times or more, you are ready to walk properly. Keep the chest out and be careful each time not to let the shoulders come forward at the last count—3. They must go down and back, if anything. As you walk, continually keep the chest pushed out and the abdomen and stomach forcibly drawn in. See how long you can hold your breath, and, as you hold it, raise the chest higher and higher. This is what singers do when they wish to sustain long passages in one breath. When you find you must exhaust your breath, do not let the chest fall, and take the breath instantly and quietly through the nose only and by pushing out the sides. Then instantly begin slowly drawing in the sides and abdomen and raise the chest higher and higher. Any one who will try this will increase in measure from shoulder to shoulder and around bust two inches in three months. -Chicago Inter Ocean. PLUCKY LITTLE GIRL She Conducts a Small Truck Farm and Takes Care of a Family of Seven People. With the responsibility of a family of seven on her diminutive shoulders, little Eleanor Keefauver, of 110 North Fifty-seventh street, West Philadelphia, is making a plucky fight for existence, and already she is known as the youngest and one of the most successful farmers in America. This small farmer is only twelve years old, and yet she carries the responsibility in supporting her family with the light-heartedness of the wealthiest and most care-free little girl in America. Little Eleanor operates an extensive truck patch, and the product she gathers she sells from door to door, and by this means earns, during the summer, at least $20 a week, besides supplying enough to last all through the year. the table at home with vegetables enough to last all through the year. Her father is a paralytic, and though it is true that there is a little Keefauver boy who brings home every Saturday a few dollars from a stocking factory where he works, and that Mrs. Keefauver does an occasional job of laundering, still Eleanor is the main support of this poor family. Every morning she digs and hoes on her small farm, and every afternoon she pushes through the streets with her little go-cart, selling her fresh and excellent vegetables. She has a host of regular customers, and these customers wait for her every day. They do well to wait for her, ELEANOR AT THE PLOW. too, for she always brings them truck that has been gathered but a few hours. Eleanor's farm is loaned to her by the Philadelphia Vacant Lot Cultivation association, a charity of an unusually beneficent kind. This association has two hundred acres of vacant land that certain wealthy Philadelphiaians have intrusted to it until the time when they shall need the land to build upon. These two hundred acres are loaned in patches to such people as are unable to keep up the fierce struggle for an existence in a great city. The association lends one patch to a shoemaker whose sight has failed; another to a laborer whom a blast has ruined; a third to an aged man and woman who are childless; a fourth to the Keefaivers. And its poor pensioners cultivating their/patches under the eye of the association acquire in this way enough vegetables to supply their tables all the year round. Fragrance and Color. Plants with white blossoms have a larger proportion of fragrant flowers than any others. Next come red flowers, then yellow, and then blue. After these may be reckoned, and in the same order, violet, green, orange and brown flowers. Spring flowers contain the greatest proportion of white flowers, and, therefore, are those most generally fragrant, while the reds and yellows belong to summer. Raisins Afford Stimulus. Raisins are specially valuable in cases where sustained physical exercise is necessary, affording both nourishment and stimulus. A bunch of raisins eaten when fatigued often serve the same purpose as a glass of wine. Flgs and dates are both valuable in certain conditions, but should be thoroughly washed and leaked over before eating. Green figs are an excellent food. YOUTHS' DEPARTMENT A THOUGHT FOR EVERY DAY.

Prince, Pet of Olanthe (Kan.) City Officins, Does Not Brook Neglect of Any Sort. Prince is the horse upon which Olathe, Kan., depends in cases of local conflagration. Prince was purchased from a farmer living near Council Grove, Kan., four years ago, and since he has been on duty at the city fire department headquarters day and night. He is a superbly formed dark bay, weighs 1,650 pounds and pulls the 3,000-pound hose wagon on a gallop. Prince learned his A, B, C's, so to speak, under the tutelage of cx-Chief Frank Nelson, of Olathe. In the past two years, however, his education has progressed rapidly under the care of the present incumbent, Fire Chief Fred Garwood. Attached to the wall immediately in front of Prince's stall is a large gong, to the lever of which two pull-cords are attached—one passing upward along the wall and across the ceiling to a point immediately over the seat of the hose wagon, the other suspended downward from the gong so as to be within easy reach of a person standing upon the floor—the song being used for ordinary PRINCE AND HIS MASTER. training and actual service alarms. But Prince has appropriated the gong to other purposes, and these without any preliminary training whatever, as will appear. One day Chief Garwood, who, incidentally, is also city clerk, was so absorbed with his books in his office immediately over the fire station that noon passed unobserved by him. A sharp tap of the gong smote upon his ear, but, believing it to be the prank of some mischievous boy, he worked on. At intervals of a minute or so the taps continued, and Mr. Garwood, in no peaceful state of mind, laid aside his books and tiptoed downstairs with a grim determination to spank the offender. Scarcely had he reached the foot of the stairway when a succession of loud rings greeted him. Rushing into the station, now fully bent on doing harm to the intruder, he found to his astonishment no boy there. Prince had the cord firmly grasped between his teeth and was assiduously ringing for his long-delayed midday meal. He had worked out the solution of a difficult problem in procrastination. From that day Prince has utilized the gong to call his chief's attention to the slightest delay in the serving of his provender, be it oats, hay or water. Some time ago, in a season of extremely inclement weather, the horse kept up at intervals throughout each day a succession of gong taps which were entirely unaccountable for, and finally Mr. Garwood secured the gong cord in such a manner that Prince could not reach it. This action aroused the ire of the horse and stamping and kicking succeeded. It finally dawned upon the mind of Mr. Garwood that the horse was pining for exercise, which, being given him, put an end to unreasonable taps of the gong. One cold night last winter as the chief lay asleep he was suddenly awakened by a succession of loud alarms from the gong below, closely followed by the rapid and heavy tramping of a horse's feet upon the floor. With visions of the assembling of the volunteer members of the department, Mr. Garwood called out: "All right, boys, I'll be down with you in a second," and he slid down the pole into the station. There he found that Prince alona was holding the fort. He had pulled out the pin which secured his stall chain, rang the gong and, leaping from his stall, had backed himself between the shafts of the hose wagon ready for a run. Prince repeated this nocturnal joke so often that Mr. Garwood secured the stall chain by means of a long, heavy iron pin. Prince showed his disgust a few nights later by withdrawing the pin with his teeth, throwing it through a large pane of glass in front of his stall and making another false alarm. Prince obeys the orders of Chief Gar- wood or his assistant, but "all the king's horses and all the king's men" cannot hitch him to the hose wagon when they are absent.—Kansas City Star. COLD-BLOODED PETS. Some Amusing Experiences of Mr. Dan Beard, Animal Painter and Naturalist. In an interesting article about Mr. Dan Beard, the animal painter and naturalist, Guy T. Visknlski relates, among other incidents, an experience with a snake. "Snakes?" Mr. Beard laughed. "I had many kinds, but one of my latter-day experiences with them will illustrate how I treated them in my youth. "I managed to secure a baby anaconda several years ago and kept him for a time in my studio, in New York city. One day, however, I wanted to remove him to my home in Long Island, so I stuck the little fellow—he was about three feet long—in an overcoat pocket, put a soft glove over him and made for the ferryboat. "A short time after I was seated and engaged in reading my paper I noticed a man by my side get up rather hurriedly and take a seat in a far corner. Pretty soon another neighbor did the same thing, and then the whole cabin stared in my direction. "In attempting to discover what was the matter I happened to swing a hand around to my side, and it struck against something clammy. I looked down and there, waving from side to side, was a foot of his body out of my pocket and his tongue making lightning-like darts, was the anaconda that I had forgotten all about. "But the sequel of the incident was quite as amusing. "One of my neighbors had witnessed the whole affair, and when he saw me on the boat a day cr two later, he started some pleasantry at my expense. "Why, gentlemen," he sald to a crowd around us, "I dareday he has several snakes in his pockets this morning." And with that he dived a hand into the nearest pocket. "A second later the man gave a howl that was heard all over the boat; and then I remembered that just before I left home I had put several crayfish into that pocket. One of the fish had nipped the man's hand, but it took me some time to convince him that he had not been bitten by an anaconda." A MYSTIFYING TRICK. How to Make a Bottle Stand Upright One Minute and Have it Fall Down the Next. Get a piece of pith, paper pulp, or some other light substance, three or four inches in length, and about half an inch in diameter and trim it into the shape of a bottle. Cut a bullet in two and fasten the bottom of the bottle to the flat side of one of the halves. Make a hole down through the center of the bottle, and provide a piece of heavy wire to slip into the hole easily, with its end out of sight. You can make the hole more readily before attaching the half bullet. The bullet must be covered neatly with paper, so that it will not be noticed, and the whole device should be painted, as this will serve to conceal the trick. Now, you tell the onlookers that the bottle will obey your commands, and having ordered it to stand up, you place it on the table without inserting the wire, when nothing will keep it from an upright position, but holding it down. It is the weight of the bullet, you see, that keeps it standing. Then you order it to lie flat on the table, and as you take it in your hands to give the order you defy insert the THE BOTTLE STANDING UP. wire in the hole, and lay the bottle down, when the weight of the wire will keep it in that position. As the wire goes far enough into the hole to be out of sight no one will suspect its presence. This is a neat and mystifying trick, if skillfully performed. One minute the bottle will insist on standing upright, and the next minute it will tumble down as often as it is set up.—Brooklyn Eagle. Papa Stronger Than Samson. Many a boy who hears a figurative remark made takes the same literally and in recounting it puts an Irishman to shame. An Omaha Sunday school teacher was talking to her scholars, about Samson, of whom she spoke as being the strongest man who ever lived. She attempted to show his enormous muscular power by stating as simply as possible some of the wonderful feats he had accomplished. Young Jimmy, a newcomer in the class, listened with more than ordinary interest and after the teacher had finished, the boy lifted his hard for permission to speak. "Well, James," asked the teacher, "what is it?" "Samson wasn't as strong as my papa is." "Is your father so surprisingly strong?" queried the teacher, smiling. "Oh, my papa's orful strong," replied the youngster, emphatically. "Why, I heard mamma say that he had a elflyant on his hands." Happiest Child in Town. What shall I do in the morning?

And David arose, and came to the place where Saul had pitched; and David beheld the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the captain of his host; and Saul lay in the trench, and the people pitched round about him. 6. Then answered David and said to Abner the captain of Saul and to Abshai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abshai said, I will go down with thee. 7. So David and Abshai came to the people by night; and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster; but Abner and the people lay round about him. David delivered three enemy into thine hand this day; now therefore let me smite him. I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him. The second time. 8. And David said to Abshai, Destroy him not; for who can stretch forth his hand against the Lord's anointed, and be guiltless. 9. David said furthermore. As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish. 11. The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed; but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse if water, and let us go. 12. So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster; and they gave them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked; for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon them. 13. Then said Saul, I have shinned; return, my son David; for I will no more do the harm, because my soul was precious in thine eyes this day; behold, I have played the fool, and have fled exceedingly. 14. And David answered and said, Behold the king's spear! and let one of the young men come over and fetch it. 15. The Lord render to every man his righteousness and his faithfulness; for the Lord delivered thee into my hand to-day, but I would not stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's anointed. 16. And behold, as thy life was much seized this day, so let my life be much set by in the eyes of the Lord, and let Him deliver me out of the tribulation. 35. Then Saul said to David, Blessed be thou, my son David; thou shalt both do great things, and also shalt still prevail. So David went on his way, and Saul returned to his place. **GOLDEN TEXT.**—Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you— *Luke 6:27* **OUTLINE OF SCRIPTURE SECTION.** 1. Saul an exile. 1.

Sam. 28:21-25 **TIME.**—Probably about 100 B. C. David, the popular hero, is an exile. Not a man in all Israel is so beloved, yet he has to leave his wife and home, and become an outlaw. The jealous hatred of King Saul is irreconcilable, and Jonathan, his best friend, advises him to give up all hope of returning to court. Whither shall he flee? Not to Ramah or to Bethlehem. He would quickly be traced to either place, and neither Jesse nor Samuel could protect him long. So he turns his steps south-westward, toward the land of his bitterest enemies. Saul's anger was not appeased by David's departure from court. He now avowedly seeks his life. Hearing of David's exploit of rescuing the city of Keilah from the Phillistines, Saul pursues him there with the royal army; but David and his little band elude him. Then the enraged king hunts David for many months, through the wildernesses of Ziph, Maon and En-gedi, but is unable to capture him, though once the king himself falls a prisoner to David in the cave of En-gedi, and David with surprising graciousness allows him to depart unharmed. Informed by the Ziphites of David's whereabouts, Saul comes with an army of 3,000 men and encamps at Hachilah. "Abner the son of Ner:" Saul's uncle (see 14:50). "Within the place of the wagons: Not trench" as in the old version, but referring to the wagons and baggage which formed a barricade about the camp. "Who will go:" It was and is customary to ask for volunteers for specially hazardous service. "Abishai:" Son of Zeruiah, David's sister, and one of David's most gallant adherents. Entering the enemy's camp at night was a perilous adventure, but David had served long enough under Saul to know him pretty well. He had placed no pickets on guard. "His spear . . . at his head:" Not "bolster" as in the old version, but literally "the place where his head is." Even to-day in Arab camps, the sheikh's spear is thus placed. "Jehovah's anointed:" The origin of the troublesome doctrine: "The dvine right of kings" to govern wrong. "David took the spear:" Perhaps the very weapon that Saul in his madness had hurled at him. David, by his merciful treatment of his enemy, conquered him. He overcame evil with good. Apparently Saul's feeling toward him changed. Yet the astute David trusted him not. There was a ring of falseness in his verbose confession of foolish sinfulness, which warned David to keep out of his reach. So, in spite of Saul's profession of good-will to his "son David," each went his own way, distrusting the other. Shot and Shell Actual liberty centers in essential loyalty.

Commander Peary, the arctic explorer, was talking to a small bunch of newspaper men at Saratoga not long ago and they were asking him a number of questions about life in the extreme latitudes, of which he can talk most entertaining. Some one asked him to spoke the Eskimo language and he said what it is. "I continued the questions," for instance, how would an Eskimo say good morning? "He wouldn't say it," told the commander, with a slight smile. "Indeed, and are they so untouched in the amenities of life?" "Not at all, not all," the explorer explained. "You see in a country where they would have occasion to use those words only once a year, they don't have them."—Detroit Free Press.

D. Hale of this place in regard to his wonderful recovery. For two years he has been down with his back. He was so very bad that he could not even lace his shoes, and from this condition he suddenly appeared well and stronger. He is no wonder therefore that his friends are asking him "How did you do it?" He tells him all: "Dodd's Kidney Hill did it," and adds "This remedy is a genuine good medicine and one that I can heartily recommend to everybody." "Everyone around here knows how very bad I was.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has brought about, I somehow felt that it was what I needed and bought a bottle to take. How glad I am that I did so two bottles brought me immense relief, and after using three bottles I felt new life and blood surging through my veins. It seemed as though there had been a regular house cleaning through my system, that all the sickness and poison had been taken out and new life given me instead.

A WATIONAL PROBLEM. goistion of the Rond Question Shout Engage the Attention of ‘caw Seek aes gig claimed by some that the build ios roads is strictly @ local matter, ms Oe venelita are entirely local, Oe ene forue vy the localcommittess, ‘nis ia sr the View taken by the most pro- Sfeave countries of Burope. ‘There tie building aud maintenance of road ove of tue important functions of vernment. France, Germany and pean | Fe eee srihe uuest roads in tae World. As a result, the western Half of Kurope is he pleasure ground ot the world. ‘The fereaue derived from tourists 1s one fi tue principal sources of income for eople of nearly all classes. But with- fu these good roads this revenue fould never be secured, : The aim of the people in those couns trie is 0 make their grand moun- tains, their beautiful lakes, their love. iy valleys, their castles and monu- eats easily accessible by means of tue, hard, smooth roads. Wuat @ contrast appears when we tua wo our own country. We have the duest scenery in the World in the great mountains of the west, but it is practically inaecessible. Except as they get glimpses of it from car win- dows, the grandee? of our mountaing aud canyons, and the beauty of our qouutain lakes, streams and valleys are a seaied book to the general tray- cling public. And this will always be tho case so long as steep, stony moun- fain wails are the only means of travel beyond the railway lines. In- eed, much of our finest scenery can- not be reached, even by such trails, if the United States government, in cooperation with the states and local communities, would build great,smooth highways, making the wonders and beauties of our great west easily ac eessible (o tourists, im a few years the lide of travel would be turned west- ward. Not only would miilions of dol- lars spent annually by Americans in Europe be kept at home, but other millions would be brought to our shores by tourists from foreign lands. But the natural attractions of our couutry are not the only things which are made inaccessible by the lack ol good roads. Our places of historic {interest are mostly in the same cate- gory. Take, for instance, Monticello, bome aud tomb of the immortal Jet- ferson. Few Americans even know where it is, much less visit it. Mon- ticello is only three miles trom the city of Charlottesville, Va., which ig on two great trunk lines. Why, then, is it so little known? Because three miles of about as bad road as can be imagined lie between it and the rail- way station. One cannot travel over that narrow, steep, rough, muddy country road without a feeling of shame. At present an effort is being made by a small band of patriotic men and women to build what is known as the Jefferson Memorial road, to make Monticello accessible to the public, but only a beginning has been made, and they are finding it up-hill work to raise funds to complete the task, But, after all, the encouragement of travel is not the most important rea- ton for the building of good roads. They are absolutely necessary for the prosperity and happiness of the peo- ple. The era of railroad building on a large scale is practically at an end. In the course of commercial and in- dustrial development we have reached a puint where the great problem of improving the common roads must be faced. We can no longer treat it as a local question. We have tried that for three-quarters of a century, and in nearly every section of the country the miserable “results are apparent. ‘The good roads problem will never be Solved locally, It is too vast. It can be solved only by the genius, the Wealth, the labor and the patriotism of the whole people. A great national movement is necessary. In cooperae tion of the nation, the states, the coun- ties and the local communities lies the CEMENT YOUR CELLAR.

It ‘u'd be all righ if they be'aved theirselves; but they don't, blast ‘em!

Phelps Whitmarsh, in Century, Wiad eed atl eee ai In Engtisn, French. Italian, Latin and Greck the moon is feminine; but iu all the Teutonic tongues the moon is masculine. Which of the twain is its true gender? We go back to the Sans. Krit for an answer. Prof. Max Muller rightly says (“On the Religions of In- din"): “It is no longer denied that for throwing light on some of the darkest problems thal have to be solved by the student of language nothing is so use- ful as a critical study of Sanskrit.” Here the word for the moon is mas, which is masculine. Mark how even what Hamlet éalls “words, words, words,” lend their weight and value to the adjustment of this great argu- ment. The very moon is masculine, and, like Wordsworth’s child, is “father of the man."—Moon Lore. Locusts Killed by Millions, ‘An important experiment, dealing with locusts, is reported from South Africa.
