ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Vol. XX. No. 16. BEREAN BAPTISTS. Sunday School Convention at Comppton Hill Church. The Berean Baptist Sunday-school convention met at Compton Hill Baptist church, last Sunday. Brother J. C. Carter made the welcome address, and Miss Lucille M. Arnold, of Kirkwood, responded as follows: "Brother President, Members, Officers and Friends of the B. B. S. S. Convention—The ever-swinging pendulum of time has brought about this occasion upon which I find myself without adequate words to express our most profound gratitude in response to the very cordial welcome extended us. We are here, and accept every courtesy extended. We come this afternoon representing the B. B. S. S. convention. We have left our various fields of labor, and come to this place to bring greetings. Our objects and aims are the highest of any institution on earth—to glorify God and help to build up His kingdom. In our various fields, by the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are striving to instruct and train those in whose hands the future destiny of the church shall fall. May our gathering here be beneficial to all, and may we repay this courtesy shown us by properly conducting ourselves during our stay here. In the behalf of the delegates and members of the B. B. S. S. convention, thus assembled, I tender our profound thanks to Compton Hill Sunday-school for the hearty welcome given us. May God's choice blessings rest upon this school, and may much good be accomplished." The papers read and songs rendered were excellent beyond measure, likewise several members gave short and pointed remarks respecting the noble work of the church Sabbath-school. LINCOLN INSTITUTE The following item appears in the Jefferson City State Tribune, March 27th: President W. H. Council, of the Alabama State College for Negroes, was the guest of President B. F. Allen, of Lincoln Institute, Saturday. He was very much gratified at what he saw, and complimented the president on the excellent showing the school is making. The president goes to Baltimore next week to deliver an address before the Association of Negro College Presidents in this country. Lincoln Institute will make a creditable exhibit at the World's Fair. Friends in the city are invited to come out and see the exhibit before they send it Wednesday. President Allen has secured Tuesday, July, 19th, as Lincoln Institute Day, at the World's Fair, Friends, will please postpone their visit there until that time. All visitors to the school commend the students on the very neat appearance of their rooms, and the school on the general neatness of things. The many graduates, patrons, and friends, of Lincoln Institute will heartily appreciate President Allen's successful efforts in securing "Lincoln Institute Day" at the St. Louis exposition, and it goes without saying that in every possible way they, will cooperate to make that day one of the greatest "Days" of the fair. The Woman's Club. The St. Louis Woman's club, with Mrs. S. P. Vashon, as president, and Mrs. M. V. Cannon as chairman of the executive committee, is moving steadily, though quietly, along in its noble work of charity and enlightenment. Within the past few months this club, without any flourish of trumpets, has disbursed for the benefit of the "Charity Ward" at the Provident hospital, a sum of more than fifty dollars, and has at the present time a considerable amount still remaining in its treasury to the credit of the "Charity Ward." The order was given last Monday for the whitering and thorough cleansing of the apartment used as the ward, and the club intends to use every effort to the end that the "Charity Ward" of the Provident hospital shall become a model of cleanliness and comfort, and a haven of rest to those who may for a time be domiciled within its walls. Let all good people, who are charitably disposed, join with the Woman's club in its noble endeavor, remembering that charity, like mercy, blesses those who give, as well as those who receive.

A. gives each year; it is in a first-class playhouse, visted by first-class people, in a first-class locality; the company has studied hard, is well trained and can entertain you; you will be assisting in paying for a building, equipping a gymnasium and establishing a library; you will meet your friends there and see St. Louis society in their royal robes.

Denmark's kings for 388 years have all been named Christian or Frederick. It is the unwritten law of Denmark that Christian must be succeeded by Frederick and Frederick by Christian. ‘The state school book commission of Georgia recently adopted for use in the schools of that state a history of the United States written by a native Georgian, Miss A. L. Feld, which is said to satisfy the sentiments of that section. It is bound in confederate gray cloth. Anyone who shall examine the map of the world will see that there is plen- ty of room for the black and yellow races of men in the hot equatorial spaces where the white races cannot safely abide.

Lamont, ex-secretary of war, has been made the chairman of the New York municipal beautification commission, which is to devise a plan for the grouping of city buildings, the laying out of parks and boulevards, arrangements of streets and the im- provement of the aspect of the water front. ‘A number of years ago a girl at Fort Dodge, Ia., married a man in whose family there was a trace of insanity. Her parents objected, but what does that account in a love affair? ‘The man later went insane and died. Last week the daughter went insane, and Killed her mother who was the willful bride of a0 Tmeny years. aro. The most condensed debate ever heard in the house of commons is said to have been one once taking place be- tween Sir William Harcourt, recently retired from public life, and Lord Ran- dolph Churchill. Irritated beyond en- durance at Lord Randolph, Sir William leaned across the table to where he sat and said: “You little ass!” “You d—< fool!” returned Lord Randolph— and that was all. Judge Swayne’s chief defense to the impeachment charges —_ formulated against him consists of the production of numerous letters of attorneys prac- ticing before him indorsing him for promotion at various times when the president had vacancies on a superior Dench to fill. It would be a poor judge indeed who could not get a vollection of fulsome testimonials from syco- phantic lawyers practicing in his court, ‘The money-making presses of the Philadelphia mint are running night and day under high pressure and turn- ing ont $1,000,000 in gold coin every 24 hours, and all the machinery of the mint will be kept in motion for at Jeast 100 days, until $100,000,000 in half eagles, eagles and double eagles shall have been delivered to the na- tional treasury. Nothing else is do- ing; not a silver coin is being handled. Chicago ministers have decided to refrain from joining in the pulpit at- tack upon Senator Reed Smoot as planned by the National League of Woman's Organizations of America. ‘The Chicago preachers declare that in their judgment it is inadvisable and that they believe congress can deal with the Smoot case without them. In this conclusion their judgment is emi- nently sound. The Smoot case is not to be disposed of by a hysterical ap- peal to popular sentiment, but upon constitutional law and established precedent. Congressman Bede, of Minnesota, wags one of the guests at the dinner of the old Second army corps in Wash- ington, He said he was not accus- tomed to speaking to so distinguished an assembly, “The most of my friends,” said he, “are in congress or the penitentiary. The other day up there—I mean in the house, not in the penitentiary—the chaplain asked the Lord to look down on us. Some of us thought that was’ pretty hard, inasmuch as most men had been doing it, and we didn’t see why the Lord ‘should add to our humiliation.” Senator Hansbrough declares that the movement to secure the repeal of the desert land law, the timber and stone law and the commutation of the home act is due to the efforts of the lobby composed mainly of holders of Jarge tracts bought ‘rom railroad companies. The senator from North Dakota must also be aware of the fact that land grant railroads maintain a lobby composed mainly of holders of on the floor of the senate. Of the two sets of lobbyists those on the floor are more dangerous than thos¢ who frequent the cloak rooms, Judge Gager. at New Haven, Conn., Sustains Probate Court. WILL GO TO SUPREME COURT It Was Held That the Admiysiou of Philo S. Bennett's “Seated Letter” Woald Override the State Statute. New Haven, Conn., April 1A de cision rejecting as evidence the “sealed letter” by which William J, Bryan was to be given $50,000 from the estate of the late Philo S. Bennett, was given, ‘Thursday, by Judge Gager in the su- perior court when the hearing on Mr. Bryan's appeal from the decision of the probate court declining to admit the “sealed letter” to probate was resumed. Judge Gager said the letter ‘was dispositive in character, and there- fore came within the statute govern- ing wills, which demands that every paper that is codicil or testamentary must be attested by threee witnesses. He holds that the admission of the sealed letter would override that stat- ute. ‘The court said there was nothing de- scriptive in the will except this phrase: “The sealed letter which will be found with my will.” Therefore there is nothing whatever to identify the sealed letter as that referred to in section 12 of the will, no earmark to show that this was the letter the testator had in mind when he prepared the will. Immediately after the-decision was announced, Attorney Newton, fot Mr. Bryan, asked for an exception to the ruling. Judge Stoddard, counsel for Mrs, Bennett, suggested that the court give a ruling on all questions at once, as he thought it would be for the best in- terests of the litigants to get rulings on all points that could be ruled upon Defore the case should go up to the supreme court. Judge Gager then de- clared a recess. When the recess ended, Mr. Bryan was called to the stand by Mr. New- ton. Mr. Newton said that to make ‘the ruling of the court clear, he wished ‘to offer in evidence exhibit “B” (the ‘sealed letter) and “C” (copy of the sealed letter), for identification taken together, and in connection with these, evidence tending to prove that neither ‘of these exhibits was obtained by fraud ‘or mistake, or undue influence; that it was the original desire of the tes- tator that the bequest of $50,000 should be made directly in the will; that it was at the suggestion and request of Mr. Bryan that the gift was made con- ‘ditional, and that it was for that rea son that exhibit “B” and exhibit “C” were made in the form that they were. IOWA MINERS WILL GO OUT The Iowa Minera and Operators Split in Joint Conference and Every Mine Will Shut Down, Des Moines, Ia., April 1—Unable to agree to an arbitration of their difter- ences the Iowa miners and operators split in joint conference, ‘Thursday, with the result that every mine in the state will be shut down, throwing 13,- 500 miners out of employment. The conference adjourned a session cover- ing a period of six weeks, the latter part of which was devoted to an at- tempt on the part of both to arrive at some amicable conclusion. ‘The split resulted from a refusal on the part of the operators to raise the wages of the unskilled and to lower the price of blasting powder demanded by the miners. The refusal to increase the wages of unskilled workers, euch as mule drivers and topmen, at the be- ginning of the conference, extended only to certain districts where that class of labor is unusually inexpensive, but at the close of the conference the operators demanded that it should be universal and apply to every distrie: of the state. LAKE INSTEAD OF MOUNTAIN Bald Mountain, In the Teblace Val- Jey, Near the New Branswick Line, Hax Disappeared. Caribou, Me., April 1—The story of ‘a guide, confirmed by a party of weods- men,is that Bald mountain disappeared ‘on the night of March 21, the date of the New England earthquake. Bald mountain was in the Tobique valley a few miles from the New Brunswick line. At its base were boil- ing springs and near by an extensive deposit which analysis has shown to be composed of melted rock and earth, all indicating the presence of an ex- tinet volcano. Now where Bald moun- tain stood there is only a large shal- low lake and the theory of the woods- men is that the subsidence of the ‘mountain on March 21 was the cause of the earthquake. George K. Perrin, Inaianapolis, Ind., April 1—George K.

Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there ure always a AWS number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other MN people’s goods.

Missouri Boys Will Take Examinations For the Privilege of Attending Oxford. Nineteen Missouri boys have made application for the Missouri Rhodes scholarship in Oxford university, which carries with it an annual income of $1,500. According to the will of Cecil Rhodes, the young man who shall receive it must be a scholar, an athlete, true, courageous, devoted and strong in moral character. Choice among the nineteen candidates will be based on a competitive examination, to be held in the auditorium of Missouri state university at Columbia April 13 and 14. The young men will be examined in five subjects, with two hours for each. The questions are prepared at Oxford university and all papers submitted must be sent there to be read. The Oxford examiners will then furnish the Missouri committee of selection a list of those who have passed. From this list the committee, consisting of President R. H. Jesse of the University of Missouri, Chancellor W. S. Chaplin of Washington university, President William Henry Black of Missouri Valley college and Bishop Daniel S. Tuttle, of St. Louis, will choose the Missouri Rhodes scholar for this year. MAN BEATEN BY MOB. Prisoner Taken From Jail at St. Clair and Severely Whipped by a Mob. A mob of about fifty men, armed and masked, residents of St. Clair and vicinity, visited the St. Clair jail, and, taking Winn Davis, who had been arrested for attempted robbery, from his cell, accompanied him to an adjoining woods, where they tied him to a tree and horsewhipped him into unconsciousness. He was left lying on the ground to recover. About three weeks ago, it is alleged, Davis attempted to rob Edward Spraul. Davis fled, but robbed. He was arrested, and Deputy Sheriff F. P. Weatherford went to St. Clair to take Davis to Union to await trial. Weatherford was entering the jail to secure his prisoner when the mob made their attack. The deputy, at the point of a shotgun, was forced to accompany the crowd and stand a witness to the thrashing, and afterwards kept a prisoner until morning. Davis had fallen under suspicion of being implicated in a series of petty thefts which have occurred recently in St. Clair, and the citizens, it is said, fearing that a case could not be proven against him, took the horsewhipping method of administering justice. A State Law Library. If present plans are carried out, the state of Missouri will have a law library for the use of practicing attorneys. Judge John D. Lawson, dean of the law department of the University of Missouri, says it is his intention, just as soon as sufficient room can be secured, to set aside a portion of the library for the use of practicing attorneys who want to come to the university to prepare their briefs. "In the next five years," said Judge Lawson, "we expect to have the best law library between Chicago and San Francisco, and certainly the best in Missouri. My idea is that it ought to be open to all the bar of the state. This school is supported by citizens of Missouri, and, so far as possible, ought to serve them. I know of no better way than to build up a magnificent library and throw it open to the entire Missouri bar." Col. Marmaduke Dead. After an illness of two weeks Col. Vincent Marmaduke died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William Harrison, at Marshall. Col. Marmaduke was one of the best-known men in the state, and was the son of former Gov. M. M. Marmaduke, who occupied the gubernatorial chair in anti-bellum days, and John S. Marmaduke, who was governor in 1888, and who died while in office, was an elder brother. Col. Marmaduke distinguished himself in the confederate service in the civil war, when he earned his military title. A Unique Exhibit. One of the features of the World's fair exhibit of the University of Missouri will be an exact reproduction of the building and grounds of the institution in natural colors, as nearly identical with the real as skill can make it, except in size. The campus, as it exists, is approximately a 20-acre tract. The model campus will be about the size of an ordinary room, 10 by 16 feet. Thirty-five departments of the university will make exhibists, occupying in the aggregate 2,100 square feet. Drowned in Swollen Stream. Miss Minnie Koch, aged 21, was drowned while crossing a swollen stream in Warren county in a buggy. Her father and brother were with her. Whitecotton Is Angry. Speaker Whitecotton of the Missouri legislature says spite work is at bottom of charges made against him, and he threatens to sue for damages. Farmer Hangs Himself. James Hahn, a highly-respected farmer two miles west of Lathrop, committed suicide by hanging. No cause is known for the rash deed. The Pride of Petitt County Secures the Missouri Pacific Shops, to Cost $1,000,000. At a conference in St. Louis between a committee of citizens from Sedalia, and Vice-President and General Manager Russell Harding of the Missouri Pacific a contract was made by which the Missouri Pacific Railway Co. agrees to erect shops at Sedalia equal to those at Baring Cross, Ark. On the other hand, the citizens of Sedalia agree to give the Missouri Pacific $180,000 in cash and 120 acres of land upon which the shops are to be built. The proposed site of the shops will be east of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas shops, and not far from the present shops of the Missouri Pacific, which will not be disturbed. It is estimated that the shops will cost $700,000 and, complete and ready for use, will represent an outlay of $1,000,000. Between 1,500 and 2,000 workmen will be employed regularly. While the agreement calls for shops as large as those at Baring Cross, it is stated that the new shops will be at least 25 per cent larger. Work will begin on the shops as soon as the ground is secured, and it is expected that they will be built within the next ten or twelve months. The repairs of the western and central divisions of the Missouri Pacific will be done at these shops, especially the exceptionally heavy work, and it is proposed, should conditions warrant, to build engines and construct cars at this point. For many months there has been a hard fight made by several Missouri cities for the Missouri Pacific shops, notably Kansas City. The members of the committee which represented the city of Sedalia in making the deal are: J. L. Babcock, mayor; H. W. Meuschke, director Sedalia national bank; former Senator Charles E. Weather, William H. Powell, cashier Citizens' national bank of Sedalia. With the committee were Edward Andler, Henry W. Harris and W. G. Graham. SHOOTS FELLOW EMPLOYES Enraged Powder Maker Uses a Revolver and Fatally Wounds Two Men. Elmer Bowers, an employee of the Independent Powder Co., shot W. L. Wildrick, the superintendent, and Ernest Crawford, another employee, near Carthage. Bowers went out to the powder works, which were not running, and, stopping in front of the office, commenced shooting at Herbert Talley, one of the employees. Talley got away without being hit, although Bowers shot three times at him. Hearing the shooting, the superintendent and Crawford stepped out, when Bowers shot both of them. Crawford fell and Wildrick ran. While running, Bowers shot again, hitting Wildrick in the back, and he dropped in his tracks. The men are still alive, with little hope for recovery. They were taken to St. John's hospital. Flourishing his gun, the murderer stood off the men at the works, and gave himself up to the sheriff. The only cause Bowers gives for shooting is that the superintendent wrongfully accused him of breaking into and robbing his trunk. Heretofore Bowers has been a peaceable man. He was one of the victims of the powder mill explosion last fall, and suffered concussion of the brain. Supt. Wildrick came from Philadelphia with his family only a few weeks ago. Watchman Killed Prisoner. Night Watchman J. R. Riley was exonerated from blame in the killing of Charles Darst in the calaboose at Holden. Darst was taken to the prison early in the evening by the night watchman for obstreperous conduct. Later Riley arrested two other men, and with his deputies, Craig and Clarey, took them to the calaboose. As the officers entered the prison, Darst attacked them, cutting a gash in the arm of Clarey. The night watchman drew his revolver, fired a shot, and Darst dropped dead. Whitten Talks: Under normal conditions, when peach trees have passed the winter safely and promise to produce a crop of fruit, they should be pruned by cutting the main limbs, so as to leave one-half to two-thirds of the new growth which contains the fruit buds. Pruning should be done before the leaver start to any great extent. J. C. WHITTEN, Horticulturist. University of Missouri. Found Dead in Tunnel. The body of a man, thought to be Albert Hamilton, was found in the Missouri Pacific tunnel near Jefferson City. It is supposed he was killed by being knocked off the top of a passenger coach. Three Suspects Arrested. Three men were arrested by Chief of Police Bankston at Rich Hill on suspicion of being implicated in the recent bank robbery at Fulton, Kas. Will Introduce the Bible. A Howell county preacher, who is a candidate for the legislature, says that if he is elected he will introduce the Bible as a joint resolution. Woman Burned to Death. While burning leaves in her yard, Mrs. Clara C. Shephard, of Lexington Junction, was burned to death, her dress igniting from the flames. RELIGIOUS MATTERS WHAT EASTER MEANS. That night my winsome little one Responded to my call. Her eyes had lost their glint of fun, Her arms held lilies tall— They nestled close beside her cheek And in her golden hair. She came as one who'd been to seek And found not anywhere. She came and stood beside my knee, Her vision, turned away, Seemed, far beyond the earth and me, To seek the lessening ray That marked the glorious day's decline; And, pushing back her cap, I lifted this wee lass of mine And set her on my lap. She held the snow-white lilies up On swaying stems and green; And, gazing in a snow-white cup, Said, "What does Easter mean?" She said, "What means?" she said, And settled down to hear. I looked down at the pillowed head And at the seashell ear. And then I told the tale again— Told all that Easter meant— The Cross and Calvary, the pain, With more than anguish blent, That conquered for the world and me, 'E'en sin and death's despair; And when I stopped to kiss her, she Was sleeping, passing fair. The tears come to me as I write— We tucked her in her bed. And God-God called for her that night— Morn found her spirit ed. Her lips felt good-by. Easter lilies bloom We kneel, her mother does and I, Within that sacred room. The room is as she left it then— Dead lilies strew the floor. We see her sleep the next night— Her wee by the door. Her dainty garments scattered wide— Oh! God! how long it seems! We kneel where our wee daring dled And think what Easter means! -J. M. Lewis, in Houston Post. CHRIST'S EMPTY TOMB. Tells Us How We Can Lay Hold on the Newness of Life Which Is Eternal. Angels and an empty tomb, and a blue sky and budding flowers, and the Risen Love shining over the world—this is Easter day. Always from the dead things of the past the angels send us forth in search of the living joy, and the words: "Christ is risen!" carry with them each year a deeper and a dearer meaning. The old are young to-day with the peace that passeth understanding, and the young begin to discern a far glory beyond the dreams of youth. It matters not whether the visible springtime fails us, and the day is chill or dark or rainy, for to the heart which knows Christ the sun shines always on Easter day with a deep, ineffable glow that nothing can dim; the light that, coming first from the face of Jesus as He walked in the garden to meet those He loved, has gathered into it down through the ages the brightness of the shining of the living spirits of all the blessed dead who have died in the Lord. To-day we are with Him Who is risen, and with all others who are with Him, not only those who have left this world, but those who are in it, who ascend in heart and mind, a great company scattered over the earth, to meet that greater company of Heaven. For we know more clearly than ever to-day that we do not have to wait until we die to rise with Christ. It is Easter day that makes it possible for us to know that every morrow we look forward to is part of that wonderful, beautiful life to come in which we, too, are to grow to be wonderful and beautiful; in which we are to learn to love so much that we shall rrow to be like Him. It is only in the daily resurrection of love out of all the hampering, discouraging, confusing sinfulness that deadens the soul—the sad things, the bad things, the malice and wickedness; the corroding thought of self, the common fret, the deep temptation, the benumbing sorrow—it is only in the daily resurrection of love in ourselves that we can lay hold on the newness of life which is eternal, and walk in the blessedness of that high path with Him whose footprints are in the clouds.—Mary Stewart Cutting, in Youth's Companion. GEMS OF THOUGHT. All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them truly over again honestly, till they take root in our personal experience.—Goethe. It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawns upon you. It is while you are resisting little temptations that you are growing stronger.—Phillips Brooks. What little faith you have, only live it for one day, and you will be stronger to-morrow. Live with your fellow creatures as their brother to-day, and to-morrow God will be felt by you as your Father in Heaven the more tenderly.—William Mountford. As the lights of earth are put out one by one, Heaven makes plainer and plainer revelations; for, "though nothing is farther than earth from Heaven, nothing is nearer than Heaven to earth!" The Heavens beckon us onward, not away from earthly things, but through them into spiritual realities.—Lucy Larcom. To every erring child God sends merciful help. In the wilderness the meal is spread, and, instead of remonstrance, angel hands soothe the weary and despondent prophet. Our fits of depression and apparent desertion as often arise from physical as spiritual causes, and God knows our frame.—F. B. Meyer. THE PROMISE OF EASTER. Doctrine of the Resurrection Is Fundamental in Christian Religion —“The Lord Is Risen.” Christianity is a religion of promise, says the New York Observer. It invades this world which is so full of seeds of death and the evidences of decay, with the glad tidings of a resurrecting grace, which, for all who will accept its working and cooperate with its purposes, eventually turns all death into life again, just as the seed perishes to live again in the blossom and the fruit. Christianity brings the promise of a quickening for the whole manhood, and offers the pledge and prophecy of a nobler life beyond this earthly scene of toil and suffering and dissolution. No other religion proposes to do as much as this for humanity, no other faith has already accomplished so much in the moral resurrection of the race from barbarism to civilization. None other of the religions of the world ever celebrated an Easter. The festival of the resurrection is peculiar to Christianity, which was founded by a rising Christ. The strange, solemn doctrine of the resurrection is fundamental in the Christian system. Christianity was not originated by a mere enthusiast or reformer, who, after a brilliant meteoric earthly career passed completely under the power of corruption and decay, leaving behind him only a name and a shadowy kind of an influence. The magnificent development of Christianity in the world through all the centuries can be accounted for only on the supposition that the Christ who taught in Judea and worked miracles in Galilee has remained with His church ever since as a living power and a guiding Presence. The resurrection from the dead of the Founder of Christianity was the premise and promise of all church history. The life of the church is but the aggregate of the life of the individual members of the church, who are joined in vital union with the risen Christ. The grand guarantee of Christianity, expressed in the announcement: "Because I live, ye shall live also," requires to be appropriated and realized in the experience of every believer. The life of Jesus authenticates and rounds out into a ripe fulness the life of each professor of His religion. The logic of Easter is expressed in the joyful formula: "The Lord is risen, we too shall rise." Jesus Christ, in the phrase of the inspired Paul, is termed the "first fruits" of them that slept. By the Jewish law the first growth of fruits and of grain were consecrated to Jehovah. Jesus is the first glorious illustration of the work of a divine resurrecting principle, and as surely as a harvest follows the first fruits so inevitably shall they who die in the Lord be raised. It has been remarked as a beautiful coincidence that the day after the passover Sabbath was the day for offering the first fruits, and that the same day was the occasion of Christ's resurrection. Our Lord rose as the representative of redeemed humanity, and not for His own sake alone; as the second Adam He vanquished sin and death; and the resurrection which He thus achieved for His people means not simply ultimate escape from the grasp of the grave, but also spiritual emancipation now and here from the benumbing and besmirching power of sin. The promise of the resurrection is spiritual even more than it is physical, and is for this present earthly round of activity as well as for the exhaustless ages of eternity. The helps and hopes of the Christian religion are meant to be present assets of the believer's experience. In the soul of every Christian an Easter hope and a heavenly joy are all the while springing up, like a clear spring of wafer bubbling forth with inexhaustible volume and refreshing sweetness. While therefore it it is considered appropriate, even by those who are not ritualists, to observe one Sabbath in the spring as the feast of Easter, when the churches are decorated with ferns and flowers, when splendid anthems reverberate through the stately sanctuaries, and when all the surroundings wear a brightened aspect, even a gala appearance, it should never be forgotten that the every Sabbath is properly an Easter, that the true Easter is inward in the soul, that Jesus Christ is rising constantly in newer forms of appreciated beauty in the developing life and consciousness of every sincere follower of His, and that the completely glorious consummation of the resurrection promise, of which foretastes are enjoyed here below, is to be realized only in the skies. Charity's Way. Every good act is charity. You smiling in your brother's face is charity; an exhortation of your fellowman to virtuous deeds is equal to alms-giving; your putting a wanderer in the right road is charity; your assisting the blind is charity; your removing stones and thorns and other obstructions from the road is charity; your giving water to the thirsty is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter is the good he does in this world to his fellow-man. When he dies people will say, "What property has he left him?" But the angels will ask: "What good deeds has he sent before him?"—Mahomet. The Only Real Evil. The only real evil in life is evil. Sorrow, pain, disappointment, death itself, cannot just be called evils. The lightest sin we commit is indeed an evil, but our hardest trial cannot fairly be called so. Yet we get the queer notion that sin, if we could only indulge it without being found out, is profitable and not an evil to us. We might as well hanker after the small-pox and call the healing medicine polson as indulge a sin and call a trial in "evil." -Philadelphia Young Pebble. 2601 LAWTON AVENUE. N. W. Cor.

The cost of all kinds of provisions has been extra- ordinarily high all winter, and the tendeney is still upward on many ar- ticles of the necessary character, such as flour and potatoes. Potatoes are 31 a bushel, as against 50 cents last year. Flour 85 cents for 25 pounds, as against 55 cents a year ago. Eggs have been selling at 35 cents, last year 20 cents at this time. Beans, turnips, onions, cabbage and nearly all articles of food are costing so much as to make’ them almost prohibitive to many wage earners. When the employe is striving to increase his earnings it should not be forgotten that condi- tions are such that he is obliged to have a larger income, or see his fam- ily deprived of the necessities of life.— Grand Rapids Chronicle. A Ministers’ Union. At a meeting held recently by the Sioux City Ministerial Association, the propoistion to aftiliate with the Trades and Labor Assembly was earnestly considered. Rev. Frank H. Shedd, Pres- byterian, declared preachers worked as hard as other people and ought to have a union, He did not have in mind the matter of striking for higher wages, but he believed in many ways the ministers and laboring people af- filiated with the labor union. He said a combination of the ministry and unions would prove a strong agency for combatting evil. Worth Knowing. Carter Harrison is spoken of as a presidential possibility.

A TREAT FOR THE CADDIE. The Efforts of Green Golfer to Hit the Ball Were Worth Going Far to See. Golf is responsible for many caddie stories. One of the latest is about a youngster and a well-known course in Scotland. The caddie was waiting around a railway station, hoping for an engagement to carry clubs. Suddenly he spied a new member carrying a huge bunch under his arm, relates a London paper "Carry your clubs for a bob, sir," said the caddie, walking up to the new member and placing a hand on the bag ininuatingly. The recruit shifted the bag out of the boy's reach and looked daggers at him, but made no reply. The boy followed to the links, continuing to importune him, but to no purpose. The new member went into the clubhouse, reappearing with an opponent whose clubs were carried by a boy. "Carry your clubs for a tanner, sir," said the persistent caddie, but no notice was taken of the offer. The new member's opponent opened with a good drive, and then the novice placed the ball carefully, threw himself into position, swung his club like a forehammer, and—missed. The rejected caddie laughed toftly. Once more the novice drove and missed, and the caddie's laughter became uproarious. At the third try the ball was dislodged from its perch and spun over the turf for about six feet. "Hi, man," yelled the caddie, derisively, "I'll carry your clubs for the fun o' the thing!"

Francis Jerome looked from his newspaper with a yawn. The train, which had been passing through a scrubby forest where the snow still lingered, halted at a small town. One passenger entered the car. Jerome's wandering gaze was attracted by his face. "He looks familiar. It—why, it is Tom Jones, my classmate at Cornell." The next moment the two men were shaking hands and both talking at once. "Yes, dear. You play it through a before I begin to sing." "You must stop me if I go wrong. makes me so happy to think that I play for you to sing, you, my precii Miss Mildred, who have taught me even thing." There was the sound of glad tear the fresh young voice. For a mom the two clung together. Then the girl down at the organ, while her companion "No, I don't live up here in this desolate wilderness," Jones said in response to the other's query. "I am practicing law at Molray. It's only a country town, but it has a future before it. I've been up this way on business for a client. Glad to get started for home, for it's Saturday, and I have been away from Nan and the boys all week." He laughed gaily. Jerome's lips curled under his blonde mustache. It was easy to place his old friend. He was a country lawyer and a family man. "What of yourself?" Jones asked, after a little. You know the class of 1884 expected great things of you. Jerome shrugged his shoulders. "What fools we were! It took me two years to get rid of the idea that it was my mission to make the world better. Then I burned my manuscripts, locked up my pen, and went into the wholesale grocery business in Chicago. "You! A wholesale grocery! I wish you hadn't told me; all these years I have thought of you as uplifting humanity." His companion smiled cynically. "How are the mighty falter! I am content. More than that, I am successful." M. F. S. "CHRIST IS RISEN, RISEN TO-DAY." "I've made a fortune, and that is the measure of success in these days." "Perhaps so," a little doubtfully. "Still I'd rather have my wife and boys, my home and my dreams of the future than a fortune. Are you married?" "No, no; time for that. My life has been a busy one. Just now I am taking the place of one of my traveling salesmen for a week. I often go on such a trip, visiting their regular customers and learning how well they do the work I pay them for. My next point is Monroe." "We are almost there. It's a little box of a place, just a lumbering town." "Yes, I'll get an evening train to civilization. Well, good-by, Jones. Glad I met you. When you are in Chicago look me up." An hour later Francis Jerome was in a decidedly bad temper. He had learned that there was no train out of Monroe until Monday morning, 36 hours later. "What a beastly shame," he growled, picking his way along the uneven street. "I will come dangerously near starving at that apology for a hotel. And tomorrow! Wonder if there's a thing as a novel in the town. Fortunately I've a box of cigars—good ones, too—in my case." He made his calls upon the retail grocers. As he was on his way back to the hotel he heard music. "That is no novice's hand," he thought as the organ pealed out a strong, triumphant melody. "The player is a musician, born and trained." Glancing round Mr. Jerome saw that he stood before a modest church. The floor was ajar, and he caught a glimpse of a dim light within. The music had glided into a tender harmony that thrilled the listener's heart with a half-forgotten memory. Pulling the door open, he stepped within. The small audience room was lighted only by two lamps in the further end. The elevated platform upon which stood the pulpit and the organ was heavily trimmed with evergreen branches and the wall at the back of the platform was covered with the same. Outlined against this dusky greenness were two stands each holding a magnificent Easter lily, the blossoms gleaming white and pearly in the dim light. Jerome remembered that the morrow would be Easter. As he looked there was the sound of a side door opening, the music ceased, and the organist rose, saving: "Ah, you are prompt, little girl." "Ah, you are prompt, little girl." "How beautiful the decorations are!" The newcomer was a young girl, and she went on: "Are you ready, Miss Mildred!" "Yes, dear. You play it through once before I begin to sing." "You must stop me if I go wrong. It makes me so happy to think that I can play for you to sing, you, my precious Miss Mildred, who have taught me everything." There was the sound of glad tears in the fresh young voice. For a moment the two clung together. Then the girl sat down at the organ, while her companion took up a position between the lilies. Francis Jerome drew a long breath. It was true, this woman, whose crimson-tinted, olive face showed but dimly against the background of pine and cedar boughs, was Mildred Blake, once his promised wife. He sat still, his breath coming in short gasps. The girl played on. Mildred threw back her head, and the voice that had so often filled his heart with rapture rang out in— "Christ is risen, risen to-day." The unseen listener did not stir until the song was ended. Then he rose, opened the door softly, and stepped out into the night. For an hour he strode along, going over the past. It had been so happy, so hopeful, yet his own hand had closed the door upon it. Mildred Blake had been his fellow student at Cornell. She it was who had incited him to dream of a glorious and a useful future. When he graduated and went west to seek his fortune Mildred was his promised wife. The estrangement had come slowly. At first he had struggled bravely, clinging to his lofty ideals through disappointments and rebuffs. When he began to turn from those ideals, to seek material success at any price, then his letters to Mildred were further apart and colder. She was very patient, but there were lengths which even her gentleness could not go. There came a day when Francis Jerome received a letter giving him his freedom. He accepted it gladly. Life was too busy for him to think of marriage. The years had gone on, and now—"She must be the minister's wife," he concluded, as at last he turned his steps in the direction of the hotel. "She to be living here! Both voice and touch prove that her musical talent has fulfilled the promise of her youth. But married to a man who would be content to preach here! Bah! Her life is a failure." The next morning Mr. Jerome went to church. He must know something more of Mildred, and he could not bring himself to question a stranger about her. The little edifice was crowded with bronze-faced lumbermen and their prematurely aged wives. The stranger had no eyes for them. He even forgot to look for Mildred in his eagerness to see the man whom she had married. The minister was a small, slight, thoughtful-faced man. It was apparent that he was educated and cultured. He threw himself heartily into the service, doing all in his power to bring home to his listeners a realization of the risen Christ. And Mildred? Again standing between the snowy Easter lilies, dressed simply in black, she sang of the wondrous love that had broken asunder the bonds of death. Francis Jerome listened with bated breath. Whatever of success or failure the years had brought Mildred, they had brought her a serene joy in life, to which he was a stranger. He saw this in her face and heard it in her voice. The service over, he was hurrying from the church when Mildred met him. She gasped. For a moment her color fled. Then she greeted him with simple grace. "Such a surprise! Ah! you must find the waiting tiresome," as he explained his presence in the town. Then she laid her hand upon the minister's arm. Ea Before I leave Within the e Hast thou me To drink thy br Oh! tell me w He breathed What gem li Soft rousing The spotless Kind murmur Christ taught us YOUNG MENS ERA. "Mr. Jerome, one of my college friends, William. Mr. Jerome, this is my brother, of whom you have often heard me speak." He remembered perfectly. William was her older brother, and had planned to work in the foreign mission field. "My health would not permit it," Mr. Blake explained. He had overruled Francis' objections to going to the parsonage, and they were on their way thither. "It's all right, though. This work up here is the Master's. Yes; it's lonely in a way, but Mildred and I are too busy and too glad that we can tell the story of the risen Christ to mind." The parsonage was a tiny house, but the rooms were cozy and dainty. The two men sat before the open fire and talked until Mildred summoned them to dinner. The roughly-plastered walls of the dining-room were tinted a soft gray, making an effective background for the green vines which wreathed the pictures. The table was spread with lavender and white china and family silver. There were soup, cold meat with vegetables, a salad, coffee and nuts. During the afternoon Mildred and her brother listened to the story of Francis Jerome's success. The woman sat with her eyes fixed upon the leaping flames, and her face gave no hint of her thoughts. There was no evening service at the church, as Mr. Blake went out in the country to preach. Rain was falling, so he did not urge Francis to accompany him. "Indeed you are not to go back to the hotel. Mildred will entertain you, and I will return early." So it came about that he sat opposite Mildred, while outside the rising wind drove the rain against the windows. Conversation lagged, and at last silence fell between them. The mind of Jerome was occupied with one question. Had he made a mistake? Not in one way, for his success was assured. Was it too late to right the wrong he had done Mildred? He rose and crossed to her side. "Mildred, I have never loved any woman but you. I let the busy, grinding world come between us, but I never forgot. Now I can give you every luxury. Promise me you will be my wife, darling." "I have not forgotten. I shall never forget. All my life I shall love the Francis Jerome whom I once knew. But you—the man who has made the accumulation of gold his life's aim—no, I do not love him." He stared at her. "What do you mean, Mildred? I am unchanged. Surely you are not sorry that I have succeeded in life." Unwaveringly her dark eyes met his. Therein he saw something of the depths that separated this woman's soul from his. "To you success means money." Her voice was low, but firm. "Cannot you understand that I do not care for what you have done as I do for what you are? Nay, Francis, the measure of success you have won does not satisfy me. I cannot be your wife." He never loved her as at that moment. Whatever she bade him he would do, he would become anything she wished, but Mildred's far-seeing eyes never wavered. "I do not love the man you are now," was her steadfast reply. "But the man I may be," he cried "Mildred, Mildred, do not turn away from me. Give me some word of hope." "What can I say? Can you undo the slow work of ten years with a single wish? To me life is service—joyful, radiant service. To you it is success, a success measured by a bank account. We could not be happy together." "I will change. You shall mold me into what you wish." into what you wish. She drew back. "I? I am the architect of no man's fate. In one year, if you are of the same mind, you may come to me again. If then I find in your nature aught of the man whom I loved so long, I will become your wife. It is not what you do in that year; it is what you come to be. Ah, William, you are here." And she turned to greet her brother, who had just entered the room.—Washington Home Magazine. Easter Lillies HOUSEHOLD IT IS WORTH CULTIVATING. Women and Girls Without Graceful Physique Can Never Hope to Nothing can make a lounging standing position excusable. Walls, railing, posts and door frames were never intended for human beings to prop themselves up against—the doing so does not rest the weary or lessen fatigue in the least. On the contrary, it rather increases it. Besides, the habit soon becomes chronic, and a general shiftless, "loppy" appearance is the vitality. A correct position promotes vitality, and is an aid to correct breathing and good circulation of the blood throughout the system. Work with Nature, and she works for you. The woman who flattens her entire body, head, shoulders, hips and heels, against the wall in a crowded room is another offender. To stand with hips and heels against the wall is perfectly allowable in a crowded room, but to rest the shoulders and head against it is to be unnecessarily ungraceful. Unless the upper portion of the torso is free, how can you possibly bow to your acquaintances? You don't suppose a nod is a bow, do you? Weil, it isn't. The inclination is always made from the hips. It is generally a very slight movement, but it carries forward the "heart line." The head is not bent, save when one wishes to pay reverence or homage, then the crown of the head is presented. Otherwise, to be in "good form," bend over so slightly at the hips and keep the eyes on a level, or as nearly so as possible, with those of the one saluted. Don't on any account bend at the waist line. This is permissible only in exercise work. A nod of the head is taught in the best schools of physical expression to be curt and indicative of criticism; it also implies an affirmative. Housekeeper. ORNAMENT YOUR OWN LAMP A Dainty Bit of China Decorating Which Can Be Kept in Evidence the Year Around. One of the most satisfactory objects for the china decorator to expend her labor upon is a porcelain vase to serve as the foundation of a parlor lamp. This is something which, unlike the decorated punch bowl or soup tureen, is constantly in use and in evidence. It is something thoroughly worth while, and for which a somewhat disproportionate price is usually paid in the shops. The motive we give for the decoration of a porcelain lamp vase may, if desired, be easily adapted to a taller vase by lengthening the flower-stalks. The curious plant depicted (sarracenia) is well known with us under its various names of the pitcher plant, side-saddle flower and trumpet leaf. HAND-PAINTED LAMP BOWL. In Europe it is known as huntsman's horn and Indian cup. The flower has five outer leaves (dark red on the outside, and green, edged with red, on the inside) five petals of a brighter red, and a yellow green umbrella-shaped center formed by the spread of the pistil. Use red brown for the petals, a light wash of the same color for the inner side, and shade with violet-of-iron. Use violet-of-iron for the dark red portion of the outer leaves of the flower and shade with the same. For the green parts of the flower and for the leaves of the plant add yellow and brown green to apple green and shade with brown green. The flower-stalks are green near the base and red near the flower. For the blades of grass use a light wash of brown green. A suitable background would be silver yellow or celadon.—St. Paul Globe. Improvised Clothes Closet. As my sleeping room had no clothes closet, I obtained a board 12 inches wide and four feet long. This was fastened securely to the wall by means of brackets, just high enough for me to reach conveniently. Into the board I screwed about two dozen hooks—the kind made to fasten into the under side of shelves. This made ample room for the clothes that were needed most, and has an advantage over hooks put up against the wall, in that the clothes do not crush nearly so badly. Some pretty curtains reaching from the shelf to the floor were used to drape the closet.—Woman's Home Companion. How to Serve Cranberries.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson in the International Series for April 3, 1904—Jesus Visits Tyre and Sidon. 24. And from thence He arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it; but He could not be hid. 25. For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean head of Him, and came and fell in His feet. 26. The woman was Greek, a Syriac priest, and she besought Him that He would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 27. But Jesus said unto her: Let the children first be filled; for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. 28. And she answered and said unto Him: Yes, Lord; yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 29. And He said unto her: For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 30. And when she was come to her house, she found the dog, the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed. 31. Again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, He came unto the sea of Gallilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. 32. And they bring unto Him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech Him to put His hand upon him. 33. And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers into his ears, and He right, and touched his tongue; 34. And looking up to Heaven, He sighed, and saith unto him: Ephatha, that is, be opened. 35. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. 36. And He charged them that they should sicken them, but the more He charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it; 37. And were beyond measure astonished, saying: He hath done all things well; He maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. GOLDEN TEXT—Without faith it is impaired to please Him.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. "From thence: " From Capernaum. "The borders of Tyre," etc.: That is, Phoenicia. Jesus and his disciples were now in the land of foreigners. They were for several reasons. (1) They could not stay where they were. His followers had many of them left Him, and popular feeling against Him was running high in Galilee. It was a reaction. (2) He had a controversy with the Pharisees from Jerusalem, in which He had talked to them with a plainness they had probably never heard before, calling them hypocrites; of course, making their opposition to Him more bitter. Further work in Galilee at this time was out of the question. (3) A foreign country was chosen because of its distance from the scene of the trouble and because its people were not likely to know or care about the contention between Jesus and the Pharisees. "He entered. would have no man know it:" This was not a preaching tour, but a much-needed respite from a wearing ministry. Safety, rest and the training of the disciples were sought. "An unclean spirit:" Probably epilepsy. A very distressing disease and one which Jesus frequently met. In those days it was supposed, like fevers and insanity, to be caused by demons. The symptoms were intense suffering, falling (Matt. 17: 15-18), sudden paroxysms, dumbness, foaming at the mouth and other accompaniments of what we call epilepsy (Mark 9: 17, 18). "A Greek:" That is, a Gentile, or as a Jew would be apt to a dog "a dog." The Jews were an arrogant race and almost always had uncomplimentary names for foreigners. "A Syrophoenician:" Or a Syrian Phoenician. "Let the children first be filled," etc.: A sentence which we say at first does not sound like Jesus. Compare Matthew's account. By the children Jesus meant the Jews. The dogs He used in the common way for Gentiles. It was not harsh as it would be to call a person a dog-to-day. He did not think the Gentiles of less importance than the Jews, or care less for their sufferings, but in planning the great work of salvation He had to begin somewhere. The plan must be the wisest one possible, and then He must stick to it. The plan was to begin the conquest of the world at home, with his own people. "They bring unto Him: "After He reached Galilee again. "Took Him aside privately:" It is not an easy thing to communicate with one who is practically deaf and dumb. Jesus might have healed him offhanded in the crowd, but He wanted to make a spiritual impression on him as well. See how the Master uses the sign language in dealing with this man—touches his ears and his tongue; He spat; saliva was suppose to have healing power; the man received an idea. Then he looked up to Heaven and signed; the man's idea was enlarged; God came into the transaction, and Jesus spoke the word, and he was healed, and had learned the mos, impressive lesson of his life as well. Grapes from Canaan God has some blessing to heal every bane. The religion of the Son of Man will surely be manly. The pearls of truth lie deep in the sea of patience.

I could hardly stand on my feet because of the numbness and lack of circulation. Had a knife been thrust into my kidneys the pain could not have been more intense. My sleep was disturbed by visions of distorted figures. The kidney secretions were annoyingly irregular and I was tortured with thirst and always bloated. I used seven boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills.

The letter read as follows: "Deer Surs—I own a logging road with kars that run on wheels with gruves in them. We have mules to pull the kars, but the kritters stall when they ought to go ahead easily, so I thought an engine, with steam power attached, would do better.

Many Women During the Spring Months Suffer From Extreme Lassitude, Loss of Appetite and Nervousness===What They Need Is Miss Bertha M. Rush, 6435 Kincardine treet, Pittsburg, Pa., Superintendent Junior Society of Methodist Protestant Church and leading Soprano of the choir, writes: "Words cannot describe my thankfulness to you for Peruna. I was a sufferer from systemic catarrh for years and was in a very much rundown condition. I was extremely nervous and had the most foolish fears over nothing. I was thin and emaciated. "My physician advised me to leave this climate but as it was not convenient to do so at this time, I took the advice of a friend to use a bottle of Peruna. I took it faithfully and when the first bottle was gone I felt so much better that I bought six more and took them faithfully, after which I looked like a new woman. "I gained in flesh, my appetite returned and all my old symptoms had disappeared. I am more than thankful to Peruna."—Miss Bertha M. Rush. Everybody is Tired—Spring Weather Does It—Every One Should Be Cautious Depression of the nervous system at the approach of spring is the cause. General lassitude, dull, heavy sensations, continual tired feeling, with irregular appetite, and sometimes loss of sleep. Peruna meets every indication and proves itself to be perfectly adapted to all their varied peculiarities. Peruna invigorates the system, rejuvenates the feelings, restores the normal appetite and produces regular sleep. Thattied feeling which is the natural result of the depressing effect of warm weather immediately after the invigorating cold of winter, quietly disappears when Peruna is taken. Thousands are daily testifying to its priceless benefit. Mrs. H. Kassatt, 1309 W. 13th street, Des Moines, IA, writes: "I am happy to give my endorsement for your valuable medicine, Peruna, as I consider it a valuable medicine to take when the system is run down from overwork. About two years ago I felt that I must take a long rest as I had been unable to work for over a month and could not regain my strength. I could not sleep at night and was in a very nervous, high strung condition. I decided to try what Peruna would do to build up my strength, and am pleased to say that I began to improve very shortly, and in less than two months I was able to take up my work, and felt better than I have for years. I take it now twice a year and find that it keeps me in perfect health." Mrs. Kassatt was for over ten years the manager of a plant furnishing ladies' wear and employing hundreds of women.

There Were Obstacles to the Free Movement of Doors That Opened Outward. There was a man who had read that it was safer to make the doors of all houses open outward instead of inward, says the Chicago Tribune. He opened it, and when he built a house of his own he had all the outer doors hung in accordance with that idea. One bright morning in March he moved into his new home. Late in the morning of the same day it began to snow, and it kept on snowing until the ground was covered a foot deep. Then the wind blew and piled the snow the wind blew and piled the snow in drifts. After which it began to rain. The rain later turned to sleet and the mercury sank 20 degrees. And the next morning the neighbors were astonished beyond measure at the sight of a frencied man with his head thrust out of a second story front window of that building wildly to a boy on the sidewalk and begging him for heaven's sake to go and call the fire department and have the ice and snow blasted away from his doors so he could open them and get out of the house! A Wonderful Discovery. Broadland, S. Dak., March 28—Quite a sensation has been created here by the publication of the story of G. W. Gray, who after a special treatment for three months was prostrate and helpless and given up to die with Bright's Disease. Bright's Disease has always been considered incurable, but evidently from the medical evidence, which will cure it, even in the most advanced stages. This is what he says: "I was helpless as a little babe. My wife and I searched everything and read everything we could find about Bright's disease, hoping that I would be able to find a remedy. After many failures my wife insisted. I praised God for the day when I decided to do so, for this remedy met my phase of my case and in a short time I was able to get out of bed, and after a few weeks' treatment I was a strong, well man. Dodd's Kidney Pills saved my life, and that will cure Bright's Disease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the most wonderful discovery which modern medical research has given to the world.

Crushed beneath the weight of snow that fell upon its ancient roof last winter, the Reynolds house on the outskirts of the village of Monroe, N. Y., is at last no more. It was built 127 years ago, in 1777, by Henry Reynolds, a Westchester county Quaker, who, with his wife and five children, fled to Orange county during the revolution. Although a Quaker, he took up arms against the British and was one of the band of 200 under Mad Anthony Wayne who stormed and captured Stony Point. His activity in plans to rid the mountains thereabouts of the notorious Claudius Smith gang of tories gained him their bitter enmity, and one night in July, 1782, on the pretence of being American soldiers looking for deserters, three of the most desperate of that gang gained admittance to the Reynolds house. In the presence of his wife and his 12-year-old daughter Phebe, they bound and hanged Reynolds to the big iron crane of the fireplace, and proceeded to ransack the house. While they were in another room Phebe cut her father down, her mother having swooned. The tories came hurrying back and hanged Reynolds again, although the girl fought so desperately to save him that she was stabbed several times. Then they returned to their plundering and Phebe once more succeeded in cutting her father down, and was dragging him out of the house when the tories again interfered. The girl placed her body over that of her father as he lay on the floor in her efforts to shield him from the robbers. They stabbed father and daughter repeatedly. They at last tore Phebe from her father's body and threw it into a large chest, closing the lid, and leaving both father and child for dead. As they departed from the house they rolled a large stone against the door. Mrs. Reynolds had recovered consciousness, and Phebe, wounded as she was, made her way to the chest, and with the aid of her mother dragged her father out and placed him on the bed. Finding that he was still alive, the girl was started out to summon neighbors for aid, when her mother discovered that the tories had set fire to the house. She and Phebe succeeded in extinguishing the flames before they had gained much headway, and Phebe made all the speed she could to the nearest neighbor's, a mile away. That neighbor mounted a fleet horse and, on his way to Goshen for a doctor, roused others, who armed themselves and started in pursuit of the tories. When Phebe got back home her father had so far recovered as to be able to talk. The doctor arrived betimes, and found that Reynolds had received no fewer than 30 serious wounds from swords and knives, but not one of them had touched a vital spot. One of his ears was nearly severed from his head, and one arm was slashed so that it was ever after useless Phebe was covered with wounds, nine being in the breast and head. At daylight Mrs. Reynolds gave birth to a child. The baby lived, grew to womanhood, and became the mother of one of the most prominent families in southern New York, as the wife of Dr. Blake Wales, a pioneer physician. Soon after Reynolds and Phebe recovered from their injuries he disposed of his property and removed to Sullivan county, where he became a leading citizen. He was elected to the assembly in 1805. Phebe Reynolds married Jeremiah Drake, and became the maternal head of the numerous and conspicuous Drake family of that part of the state. The Reynolds farmhouse has had many owners since. The house had been untenanted for three or four years, and had fallen into dilapidation. It was one of the landmarks of that historic region. Mrs. Elizabeth Gignoux, of New York, is the present owner of the Reynolds property. Boomerang Argument. "Ma," remonstrated Bobby, "when I was at grandma's she let me have pie twice." "Well, she ought not to have done so, Bobby," said his mother. "I think once is quite enough for little boys. The older you grow, Bobby, the more wisdom you will gain." Bobby was silenced, but only for a moment. "Well, ma," he said, "grandma is a good deal older than you are."—Stray Stories. The Point of Similarity.

Mrs. Ollie Jackson, of 2010 Market street, said The Palladium man is all right, because he always remembers the good people. Misses Anna B. and Berdella Thomas, who are among the best young ladies of the First Baptist church, love to read The Palladium. Mrs. Arthur Turner, of 6228 Spencer place, is an up-to-date singer. She sings in the choir every Sunday at the First Baptist church. The devotional exercises and religious discussions are something of unusual interest at the First Baptist church every Wednesday night. Mr. Willie Carnell and Col. Garfield Craven, two of the First Baptist church's noted ushers, take so much We are sure he will not allow the Medicine Man, Dr. Arthur, to come over in Brooklyn and run things his own way, even if he had forsaken medicine, and gone into the saloon business. We wrote our good friend to square things at this end, and if he did not, we would speak out. mentioned as one of that club? The Palladium demands an answer, and if some one of that committee does not give us satisfaction, we will investigate.

Madame Julia Townsend, one of the First Baptist church's hardest workers, said she would rather read The Palladium than any other paper. All the different clubs met last Sunday evening at the First Baptist church directly after the morning service, each being well represented. There will be a grand Easter and financial rally all day next Sunday at the First Baptist church, and all the members and friends are requested to come prepared to give liberally. Mr. Cash, district deputy of the True Reformers' order, paid a death claim of $65 to Mrs. Anna Harrison, the widow of Richard Harrison, who died a member of that society. This transaction was witnessed by a large congregation at the First Baptist church last Sunday night. The True Reformers are all right. Rev. E. C. Cole preached two interesting sermons last Sunday at the First Baptist church, morning and evening. In his 7:30 p. m. sermon he advised his congregation to get out of their lethargy and indifference and come on the Lord's side. In reading between the lines one gleans the following: "Until the Negro race will learn to stick together, like all other races, and stand up for good principles, honesty, morality, sociability, religion, for God, and get dollars, then, and not until then, will we see the end of the color line and the Race Problem."
