The Preacher With a Plurality of Wlves and Who Has Killed a Man. He Learns That "Dat Cut's No Ice—Doesn'g Go in Courts of Justice. To our uttermost surprise, this very common Nigger rushed out of the Baptist Alliance with a Palladium in his hand, and started for the four courts, or some other court, to get a warrant for the arrest of the manager of the St. Louis Palladium. When he arrived, like a bull in a china store, he exclaimed: "Where am dat proscuting lawyer, or de man dat gibs dem papus fur to get a man rested." He was referred to Hon. Richard Johnson on the third floor. "Alright, here you mens dat cum here wid me, come up stairs." And like a bull he butted into the janitors' room, and exclaimed: "See here, man, tell me where to git dat man dat gits fellers rested." He was then referred to the prosecuting attorney. Out he went, and said to the other fellows: "Come on in here, put him where de dogs won't bark at him." In they went. The gentleman in charge said: "Well, what can I do for you?" "Well, I just came here to git you to read dat paper." The gentleman read the article very carefully, and then said: "Well, my friend, you will have to go to the other end of the hall, to the grand jury." And off these deluded coons went. The Palladium man was apprised of the same, and he at once telephoned to a friend of his and told him that a few brainless Negroes were there trying to get a warrant for him, and in due time he would appear and give bond.

We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each.....30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each.....24 Mississippi.....14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas.....12 Missouri.....9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each.....18 Washington, D. C.....4 Virginia and Tennesse, 4 each.....4 California, Ohio, New Jersey and New York each, 7 Colorado, each 8..... 12 Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Indian Territory have one each ..... 7 Territory have on each..... 7 Published in the south..... 101 Published in the west..... 44 Published in the east..... 26 Total ..... 171 And yet there are what are called political and pocket newspapers. We have about 20 of them that last sometimes a year. The whites are flooded down with them. Out of the 171 there are about 80 that stand side by side ESTABLISHED 12 YEARS DO NOT equipment, sundry big free Sundry C with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro, we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispuse news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and orilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise In The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west.

FORMAL THANKS TO PRESIDENT The Russian and Japanese Emperors Express Their Appreciation OF THE PRESIDENT'S EFFORTS Japan Also Requests That Our Diplomatic Agents Continue to Care for Japanese Interests Pend- Washington, Oct. 20.—Formal, but none the less hearty expressions of thanks from the Russian and Japanese emperors to President Roosevelt for his services in the cause of peace in the far east, are made public by Secretary Root. The Russian emperor's message is contained in the following instruction to Baron Rosen, the Russian ambassador. The Russian Note. "The Russian ambassador is ordered to express to the president, in the name of the emperor, the feeling of sincere satisfaction experienced by his imperial majesty at the re-establishment of peace for the good of all peoples and their further prosperity. "At this historical hour his august sovereign can not but recollect with sincere pleasure the efforts put forward by the president in order to co-operate in the attainment of that great result. These efforts have been the more highly appreciated, as they entirely responded to the sentiments of friendship and regard which animate his imperial majesty towards the president personally and towards the American people." The Japanese Note. The note from the Japanese emperor reads: "Tokio, Oct. 18, 1905.—The president, Washington, D. C.: The formalities necessary to bring the treaty of Portsmouth into full force and vigor having been accomplished and peace having been definitely re-established between Japan and Russia, I desire again to express to you my very high appreciation of your distinguished and important services in the cause of peace, and also to thank you most sincerely for the gracious hospitality to my plenipotentiaries, by which they were enabled to perform their important labors under the most favorable auspices. "MUTSUHITO." A Japanese Request. In addition to this formal expression of thanks, a letter from Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, requests that the American diplomatic and consular representatives be permitted to continue the care of Japan's interests in Russia until the Japanese diplomatic and consular service in Russia can be re-established. RESPONDING TO QUERIES Internal Revenue Commissioner Yerkes Gives Light on His Recent Patent Medicine Order. Washington, Oct. 20.—A large number of letters are being received by the commissioner of the internal revenue on the subject of alcoholic compounds, such as patent medicines, essences, etc., against which rulings have recently been made, and Commissioner Yerkes is answering them as rapidly as possible. He has directed collectors of internal revenue not to purchase samples of patent medicines and other alleged whisky compounds until instructed to do so. In a letter to a correspondent, the commissioner says that there is no special tax under the internal revenue laws for the sale of apple cider, but cautions them that the only safe course for dealers to pursue is to sell the beverage only under its true name. It is stated by chemists that the pure apple cider of the United States contains more alcohol than beer, the alcohol in cider frequently running as high as 8 per cent, while beer contains about $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent. The commissioner goes on to say that so long as apple cider is sold under that name it may not be disturbed, but when it is mixed with anything else or with whisky, as is frequently the case, action may be taken against the dealer by agents of the government. In another letter the commissioner writes that druggists may use alcoholic liquors in compounding physicians' prescriptions and in making tinctures for sale in good faith for medical use only, without subjecting themselves to special tax as liquor dealers. He says, however, that whisky or other alcoholic liquors can not be prescribed and sold even for medicinal use only without subjecting the seller to a special tax as a liquor dealer. He decides that a physician can not prescribe whisky to a patient when not compounded with medicine, without involving himself in special tax liability, even though he prescribes and sells it for use as medicine only. The Kulaz Potemkin Rechristenga St. Petersburg, Oct. 20.—The battleship Kniaz Potemkin, the crew of which mutinied in the harbor of Odessa last June, has, by imperial order, been re-christened the "Pandelimon," after the famous martyr of the Russian church, who died in the third century, and who is looked upon by the doctors as their patron saint. Bad Fire in a Dry Goods Store. Terre Haute, Ind., Oct. 20.—Fire caused a loss of $125,000 to the W. H Albrecht & Co. dry goods house. Covered by insurance. IT COMES AFTER VACATION Nearly everyone is familiar with the relaxed and demoralized sensation which seems to be the inevitable result of a vacation. The more prolonged has been the period of voluntary idleness the harder it is to rally from its depressing effects. We may not have been really inert during our hiblid; indeed, our physical activity may have been excessive; but we have danced so long to strange piping that it is not easy to keep step among the regular workers, says the Philadelphia Ledger. The single drop of wild blood makes it so easy to obey the primal impulse to step aside into the green and flowery ways of vagrancy. This seems to be the natural thing, yet the life we call artificial has become inevitable, and it has a strong tone virtue. In Mary Wilkins Freeman's vivid story, "The Slip of the Leash," we see a man weakly yielding to the urgings of native instinct and forsaking wife and children for the earlier kliship of the earth. The sane and wholesome love of free ways and growing things lies somewhere between this abnormal form of nature worship and the feeling of the town dweller who asked his friend to kick a tree for him when he went to the country. For some years there has been a passion for nature stories and studies, and a refreshingly human way of looking at things that were once swarthed in technical cerements. Nature may ensnare us with her love-liessness or overwhelm us with her terrors, until we are almost ready to accept her manifestations as the highest expression of divine regard, though we know that upon humanity creation has set her crowning seal. 'The rudest savage in the jungles, the lowest form of life in the pestilent slums, is a miracle more complex and amazing than Niagara or Mont Blanc. "These rustics bore me incredibly." said the blase man of the world. "Strange!" answered the social philosopher, "I feel ashamed to think that I ever thought any human being uninteresting." Among the country people we often see a refined and peculiarly beautiful cultivation and the almost extinct graces of repose and serenity. The humble rural classes often amaze us with their intellectual acumen and depth of philosophy, as well as by their picturesqueness of expression. Or, it may be that the holiday has taken us to the most fashionable resorts among the exotic growths of society, but even here the flowering of sweet and genuine humanity thrills us as it would thrill the old-fashioned gardener to recognize his early favorites among the strange-hued, many-petaled variations evolved by modern floral wizards. Wherever the happily reounded man or woman may go the appeal of the human transcends all other interests and attractions. Sounding by Telephone. Sounding by Telephone. A method of ascertaining the depth of water by means of the telephone is being employed in the German navy, says the Deutsches Offizierblatt. Sound waves are given out which disperse in all directions at a known rate of speed. Those which strike the ground at the bottom of the water are reflected and the times of their dispatch and return to the instrument are recorded. The velocity of the sound wave being known, it is easy to calculate the distance traversed. It is needless to say that the recording instrument has to be extremely sensitive and delicate in order to give records of any value. Camels as Pets. Baby camels are great pets in South Africa, and are nursed and tended and even carried about by their attendants. The very young camel is an awkward creature, with a long neck and uncertain legs. During the first few months they weigh no more than an ordinary dog. Noted Negro. Dr. Marcus Fitsherbert-Wheatland, a colored physician of Newport, R.

If you don't believe it, watch the tears of that mother and father when their loving daughter is on the road to ruin, caused by the hellish balls and dancing houses. We are under obligations and many thanks to note the fact that many of our exchanges are quoting many articles from the Palladium, as "Sowing to the Wind," "Big Negroes and Their Mushroom Society," the Colored Citizen of Memphis, Tenn., one of the best papers of the south, was on to us last week. On October 25, there will be a supposed sermon preached in Chicago by a man who has a plurality of wives. We hope that the "Broad Ax" will keep tab on such loafers. He wanted to join the Methodist church, but they would not have him, so our good Baptist took him in and put a premium on villiany. Look, we are coming. CITY NEWS.

DANCING HALLS and BALL ROOMS DANCING HALLS and BALL ROOMS Strange indeed are the methods used by some people in their attempt to justify a public wrong, but it is the way of the world. It has been so since the day that Father Adam and Mother Eve broke the holy law, and so humanity seems doomed to continue. In past weeks several articles have appeared in the Palladium concerning the moral influences of "dance halls" and ball rooms. We had no particular dance hall in view, but treated the subject generally, as is the duty of any publication, but one dancing master takes exception to the articles and goes so far as to say that the manager of the Palladium is angry because he took his advertisement from the paper. This is untrue and a gross injustice. For more than twenty years the Palladium has been doing business in St. Louis, and we are willing to give $50 to any man or woman who can prove that we ever took notice to things so small as this accusation would imply. The Palladium has carried advertisements for the late Jeffery Luckey, Grant and others. They have all settled with us and we have no personal grievances against any of them. Whenever you make a man making such a statement in the future, you can put him on record as mischief maker. It matters not to us whether the individual be a "Big Negro" or a little, insignificant Negro, he is mistaken, pure and simple. You can tell him so. There is only one bell on the Palladium, and that is on the front end. We never back up. The Palladium, as a public organ, reserves the right to condemn evil wherever found. In our sight and in the eye of Christianity these dance halls and ball rooms are public evils which should be suppressed, either by law or moral sentiment. If any two ministers (barring one) now pastoring in St. Louis will come to us and proclaim any of these dance halls as conducive to morality in the youthful Afro-American the Palladium will desist from further publications relative to those places. Until then, however, it is "Lay on, McDuff, and damned be he who first cries enough." The Palladium plays no favorites. "Big Negroes," "Little Negroes" and "Bad Negroes" all look alike to us when they get on the wrong side.

AUTOMOBILE AND HACK RIDES AUTOMOBILE AND HACK RIDES Last Monday night the reporter for The Palladium was out early and late. Several girls on Lawton avenue and Walnut street tell their parents they want to walk down Market street. They do, and up comes an automobile. The same is closed, and in go the girls. This was about 8:30 or 9 p.m. They come back, and to put a biind on the thing, after letting some out on Market street, they came up Lawton avenue, and out the girls come. We ask where was the mother, or, if no mother, where was the guardian? About 8:30 a girl and a man were in front of the Negro Jefferson club. There was also a hackman out there; and for you to have heard that girl and boy beg the hackman to drive them it would have given you the yellow fever. At length in they went, and the driver said: "Don't put your feet on the seat." We ask where was the mother? She was not at home, but out working to make an honest dollar. We will tell; so look out. If we hear any noise about this we will give the number of the automobile.

WARNING TO THE PUBLIC For the benefit of the patrons and friends of the At Home Sunshine branch of the International Sunshine Society, we wish to state that the International Sunshine Society, which has for many years been actively at work in this city, has no paid officers, nor does it have any solicitors in the field selling papers or collecting money, but every penny raised by us is used for the work here. The International Sunshine Society, of which Mrs. Cynthia Westover Alden, of New York, is the founder, organizer and president general, is the original Sunshine society, and must not be confused with any other society claiming to do sunshine work in this city and soliciting in the name of "Sunshine." Those interested and the friends of the St. Louis work of the International Sunshine Society are most respectfully urged to investigate, through the St. Louis Provident association, the standing of the At Home Sunshine branch and any other so-called sunshine societies soliciting funds in this city.

Walker, the veteran paperhanger, has shown his abilities in the work on the Douglass hall, 2645 Lawton avenue. We were there last Monday night, and the hall was then lit up with hundreds of lights, which showed the decoration in fine style. We could see better the dancing sets, the professional men, and school-teachers standing in squads discussing the taste displayed by Mr. V. L. Walker, the veteran paperhanger, and the man who stands very high in the paperhanging profession of this city and Chicago. At the Douglass Hall Last Monday Night. Dr. G. H. Anderson and Miss Lela Warwick were the center of attraction. Dr. Jackson entertained two young ladies in the balcony. They tell us he is not much on the dance. Dr. T. A. Curtis looked like the duke of Buckingham. There are a few hairs between him and Heaven. He likes to dance. Lawyer Inge, as usual, was all smiles. They tell us that he is looking down the matrimonial road, and the young lady is at the other end. Miss Richardson, the secretary of The Palladium, was, as usual, the pivot on which the young men smiled, and smiled, but knowing that she was connected with The Palladium, they were not so talkative. W. C. Gordon was the lord of the occasion. The young women and girls, old women and 'all, would like to get in his way. He is now located at 2651 Morgan street, his new establishment. Mr. Cordie Watkins was, as usual, the envy of the young men. Last Monday he wore a stovepipe, and looked so much like the king of Spain that we were forced to exclaim: "Where did you get that hat?" The girls are crazy about him. Dr. Stafford was so attentive to the girl with the pink waist he forgot he was a married man. Well, it went so far that The Palladium man came near calling his hand. Mr. Richard Williams used to be a good subscriber to The Palladium. Now the young ladies take him to the balls and to the Newport, and drink Cook's mum. Come this way, Willie. Mr. Prentice Rucker was the only young man in full dress. He was greatly in demand among the girls. They all seem to admire him. We noticed that four of the "dirty dozen" were out, and they had their sway with the girls who claim to be of the first water. Mr. Bolen, the druggist, and Mosely, the groceryman, danced with more different girls than any two men in the house. It is business with them. In these dance halls where the public gather there is no difference. All come together—the professional man, the convict, the rounder, pimp, the confidence man, gambler, pickpocket, and the "dirty dozen." They are all big likes. It is enough to make a mule laugh.

The Sumner High School Athletic as- sociation has completed arrangements for a game of football to be played with the Bartlett high school of St. Jo- seph, Mo., at Handlan’s park, corner Grand and Laclede avenues, Saturday, October 28, at 3p. m. This is the first appearance of the St. Joseph boys in our city, and it is earnestly hoped that the public will turn out in large num- bers to give them a rousing welcome. The Bartlett high school team is said to be unusually strong this year, and has had the advantage of the best of ‘coaching. _ The Sumner boys have been hard at ‘work at Forest park during the last ‘three weeks, practicing with the Y. M. C. A., with which organization a game will probably be played later in the season, There is-a great deal of en- thusiasm’ over the sport at Sumner this year, and the game is becoming more popular than ever. There are two, and in some instances, three, men working for the same position on the team, and the squal at practice is the largest in the history of the school. While the team is somewhat lighter than last year, it,is a fast and gritty eleven, and is rounding out in fine form. David R. Francis, one of the popular members of the senor class, was unanimously elected capiain, It is an interesting fact that nearly halt of the team are members of. the senior class, The game is increasing in popular- ity with the public, as is evidenced by the large crowds which turned out to witness the contest with Kansas City last year, which resulted in a victory for Sumner by the score of 33 to 2. While football is a hard game, re- quiring stamina and excellent physical condition, the element of danger is small where the players employ only fair tactics and play a clean game, and the discipline and training entailed by the game are wholesome in the high- est degree. The management of Sum- ner is under a large expense in bring- ing the St. Joseph team here, and s0- Heits the generous patronage of the public. Let's see plenty of maroon and white in evidence, and make the welkin ring with Ow-ski—wow-wow! Skilly—wow-wow!

CUTRHEON THE PRESIDENT'S SOUTHERN TOUR Receives a Warm Welcome In the Historic City of Richmond, Virginia. HIS COMING MADE A HOLIDAY. GREETED BY MANY THOUSANDS Pells the Virginianus That They Have No More Right to Kinship In Lee and Jackson than He Hns-Addresses Confederate Veterans at the Statue of Gen. Lee. President Roosevelt started on his southern tour on the 18th. His first stop was at Richmond, Va., where he was warmly received. The streets through which the president's carriage passed from the railroad station to Capitol square, where he made his principal address, were packed with thousands of people, and if any of the population of Richmond were absent from the immediate vicinity of the line of march it was probably because they were sick or infirm. All the banks, factories, stores and schools were closed, and 15,000 school children were among those who joined in the general welcome to the president. At a luncheon the president said: "One among the very many great Virginians at the time when this nation was born—(and I quote, gentlemen, Patrick Henry)—said: 'We are no longer New Yorkers or New Englanders, Pennsylvaniaians or Virginians; we are Americans', and surely, Mr. Mayor, the man would be but a poor American who was not touched and stirred to the depths by the reception that I have met with to-day in this great historic city of America. Coming to-day by the statue of Stonewall Jackson, in the city of Lee, I felt what a privilege it is that I, as an American, have in claiming that you yourselves have no more right to kishin in Lee and Jackson than I have. I can claim to be a middling good American, because my ancestry was half southern and half northern; I was born in the east and I have lived a good while in the west—so long, in fact, that I do not admit that any man can be a better westerner than I am." The president addressed confederate veterans. "Here I greet you in the shadow of the statue of your mighty commander, Gen. Robert E. Lee," were the words with which he began his speech. To a delegation of negroes he said: "I want to congratulate you upon the showing your school children have made, and, further, I wish, as an American, to congratulate the representatives of the colored race who have shown such progress in the industrial interests of this city." He showed special interest in the school children lined up to greet him, the whites on one side of Broad street; the blacks on the other. He was much amused at another point by the appearance of a huge stuffed bear over which was the sign, "Mr. President, have a shot: the only one in Richmond." As the presidential party passed the Centenary Methodist church the chimes in the tower of the church rang out "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," and at another point 150 girls from the Women's college, attired in pure white, sang the sama anthem. He was driven to the old home of John Marshall, former chief justice of the United States, and to the confederate museum, where many of the ladies of the confederate memorial and literary association were present to welcome him. He was presented here also by the ladies with a bunch of red and white roses, tied with the confederate colors. The party visited St. John's Episcopal church, in which Patrick Henry made his famous "Give me lib- The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. NEVER THE POSSIBLE BANISH DIAMONDS PANAMA erty or give me death" speech, and the president expressed great interest in the old church and the adjacent burying ground. On leaving, the president said to a reporter: "I want the people of Richmond to know what a great pleasure it has been for me to have been with you, and to have an opportunity of meeting them personally. If they like me half as much as I like them, we'll call it square, and I'll be satisfied." One of the Incidents Was Meeting Stonewall Jackson's Widow. The president met with an enthusiastic reception in North Carolina. Stops were made at Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh. At Raleigh he visited the state fair. At Greensboro he reminded the people they were on historic ground. At Charlotte there was a touching scene. A committee of ladies, headed by Mrs. Jackson, widow of Stonewall Jackson, was at the station to meet Mrs. Roosevelt. When the president was introduced to her he took her hand, and said: "Mrs. Jackson, you do not know how glad I am to meet you, the widow of the great Stonewall Jackson. Why, it's worth the whole trip down here to have a chance to shake your hand." In addressing the people and Charlotte, he said: "As I got off the train here I was greeted by one citizen of North Carolina (and I know that neither the governor, the mayor nor the senators will blame me for what I am going to say), whose greeting pleased and touched me more than the greeting of any man could have touched me. I was greeted by the widow of Stonewall Jackson. And we of this united country have a right to challenge, as a part of the heritage of honor and glory, of each American, the reunion of one people—Americans who fought in the civil war, whether they wore the blue or whether they wore the gray. The valor shown alike by the men of the north and the men of the south, as they battled for the right, as God gave them to see the right, is now part of what we, all of us, keep with pride. It was my good fortune to appoint to West Point the grandson of Stonewall Jackson. At Raleigh 1,500 negro school children sang, "My Country, 'Tis of Thee," and the president took off his hat and bowed. Just before the president's train left he remarked: "By George, gentlemen, I have had a good time." "Don't forget Raleigh and North Carolina," some one shouted. The president laughingly replied: "Never." "We want you to come back the first chance you get," said another. "Sure, sure, of course, for I've had a mighty good time. I was delighted, and I thank you." Dynamiling In a St. Louis Suburb. St. Louis, Oct. 20.—The grocery store of H. C.

Is it too bold and daring I should dream That all creation is one song of praise, In rhythmic numbers that through all space stream, Filling their void through all the nights and days? Why not the planets as through space they roll, With sound and motion each one of its own, Should thus be formed in one harmonious whole, To fill the voids by angels only known? When at His sovereign word in being sprang This world of ours, in beauty robed so grand, The Morning Stars in glowing numbers sang, As on its course it swept at His command. One note more in that synthesis of praise, That swelled and rolled through the unmeasured space; Another chord that should still higher raise, The growing volume sweeping on a-pace. The sweetest music ever heard on earth, Was on that blessed night when Heaven opened wide. And angels signalized His wondrous birth In that grand song whose echoes still abide. Never before, nor e'er again shall be A song so sweet, until that day be come, When heaven and earth in one grand symphony, The last returning sinner welcomes home. O, song of songs! Its rich melodious chime Hangs quivering on the rapt, enamored air, Falling and rising in its rhythmic time, Almost beyond our weaken power to bear, Its balanced chords at times swell high and strong. Upward aleng the grand celestial sweep, And then, as lost celestial heights among, The car no longer can its measure keep. Supremely grand the music of the spheres, As onward through primeval voids it sweeps, Marking unnumbered centuries of years, Filling unmeasured heights, unfathomed deeps. The day and night, the seasons in their role, Each in its own assigned and ordained phase, Are but the parts of one stupendous whole That form the universal anthem to God's praise. -William G. Haeselbarth, in Christian Work. FILLING ONE'S PLACE. We Can Perform the Duty Falling to Us, But We Cannot Fill the Place of Another. We have our own place to fill in this world and there is no one else who can fill it. We have our own duty to do and there is no one else who can do it. God has laid upon us obligations which He has laid on no other person. The child may fill the office that the father filled, he may live in the home in which the father lived, he may fall heir to his father's place in the church, but the father's place is empty still. The son fills his own place in the world, and that alone. Each man stands before God alone. Each must do his own duty and fill his own sphere, and when he dies the world has lost one center of power, one source of good. His place is forever empty, except in so far as it is filled by the influence that he has left behind. You may put two bodies in one grave, but not two souls in the same space. One may carry on the work of his predecessor, but his predecessor's voice is not there, his hand is absent, his encouragement is wanting. His place is empty and will forever be. Instead of two there is now but one. There is no filling of another man's place in this world. We fill our own place and that alone. Our conduct cannot be chargeable to another. For the things we do we alone must answer; and when we pass away the world will be just so much richer or so much poorer according as our lives have been a blessing or a curse. Filling another's place is all a delusion. You cannot do it—United Presbyterian. SENTENCE SERMONS. Love for the law is the safeguard of liberty. The word salvation is always in season.

THE BUMPER WHEAT YIELD OF CANADA. 100,000,000 Bushels of Wheat from 4,000,000 Acres In order to secure the attention of the reader to any special article that is brought before the public, it is often the custom to lead the reader on by the introduction of an interesting story until, by one bold jump, he is introduced to the subject that it is desired shall be brought to his notice. This is not fair to the reader, and it is not the intention to do that in this article. It will discuss in the briefest way "Western Canada" and its possibilities for settlement. For the past six or seven years the Government of the Dominion of Canada has talked of the resources of Western Canada to the readers of this and thousands of other papers throughout the United States. The quality of the soil was spoken of, the large area of fertile lands was discussed, the possibilities of the country as a graining district were talked of, and the story of the success of farmers from the United States was told. The story is not yet an old one. The two hundred and thousand of the United States, who have made Western Canada their home, who have taken advantage of the 160 acres of land that the Government gives free to actual settlers are telling the story to-day to their friends. They have proven the statements made through these columns, and by the Government Agents. They have produced from their land twenty, thirty, forty and more bushels of wheat to the acre, and netted profits ranging from three to ten and more dollars on every acre tilled. They have found the climate fully as good as they were told it would be, schools were convenient and easily organized, railways were not far distant, and markets close at hand. The social conditions were such as they chose to make them, and law and order were observed. Many of them bought land, because it was low-priced and good, and hundreds of cases could be cited where the purchase price of the land was paid out of the first crop. The writer knows of cases this year where the farmer, as a result of the yield on his farm, was put in a position that would enable him to increase his holdings three extra acres for every acre cropped and pay cash for it. Is it any wonder that one grows enthusiastic when speaking about Western Canada. But what may be said of this year? We are now in a position to speak regarding it. The conditions throughout Manitoba and the new provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan have been remarkably favorable. Had conditions been no better than in past years there would have been every cause for congratulation. We find, though, all previous records broken, and that from a four million acre crop of wheat there will be one hundred million bushels of a yield—or 25 bushels to the acre. Could anything better be desired? Covering the entire country the same splendid reports are being received. The following dispatch was sent by Mr. F. W. Thompson, Vice President of the Ogilvie Milling Co., one of the most careful grain men in America: "Have just returned from covering several hundred miles of the crop district. I never saw anything like it in this country before. The average yield and quality far exceeds our earlier expectations. It is an immense crop. The weather is extremely favorable." Up to three weeks ago it was Mr. Thompson's opinion that the crop would not reach general expectations. F. W. Thompson sends another telegram from Winnipeg to night, saying that his estimate of the wheat crop is now one hundred million bushels. Before he went west he thought it would fall considerably short of that figure. The moral of this story is that there should be no hesitation in making a decision if you wish to better your condition; or, if you have a family of boys that you wish to become settled on farms, it is a safe proposition to call upon the nearest authorized Canadian Government Agent, and get particulars as to most suitable districts and railway rates.

THIN BLOOD—WEAK NERVES THIN BLOOD—WEAK NERVES One Follows the Other, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Quickly Cure Both. The steady use of a particular set of muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which produces faulty or difficult motion, trembling, cramps and even paralysis. Writers, telegraphers, tailors and seamstresses are among the classes most threatened in this way with the loss of their power to earn a living. The following instance shows that nerve power may be recovered after it seems entirely lost, if the right means are taken. Mrs. O. S. Blacksten, of No. 584 North Bowman street, Mansfield, Ohio, says: "For years my hands would become so numb at times that I would drop anything I attempted to lift. Later they became so bad that I could not see any longer, and at last I could scarcely do anything at all with my hands. At night the prickling sensations would come on worse than ever, and my hands and arms would pain so that I dreaded to go to bed. My family doctor gave me some nerve tablets. They helped me a little, but only for a short time after I had taken them and if I happened to be without them for a day or two I would be as bad as ever or even worse. Finally I got a box of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and began to take them. "The result was surprising. By the time I had taken the last pill in my first box I could see a gain. Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am now all right. I can sleep nudisturbed by pain, and for two years I have been as well as ever." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills feed the nerves by making new, rich blood and in this way have cured nervous diseases of every description from simple restlessness to paralysis. They have banished the tortures of neuralgie, the weakness of nervous prostration, the disability and awful pain of locomotor ataxia. They are sold by all druggists or direct by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Scheunctet, N.Y. SCRAPS OF SCIENCE An interesting hygrometer is made by dipping a strip of calico in a solution of one part of cobalt chloride, 75 of nickel oxide and 20 of gelatine in 200 of water. The strip is green in fine weather, fading as moisture appears. Novel use of Roentgen rays is made by a Berlin company manufacturing submarine cables. The cables are tested by being passed over two eye pulleys over an X-ray tube, the screen above showing any defect correctly and with greater certainty than the resistance tests usually employed. Small protuberances, like drops of melted metal, have been noticed by N. Orloff on the surface of an aluminum plate that has been used to cover a dish containing radium bromide. Radiations from these protuberances showed no lessening after six months, and it is inferred that particles of radium accumulated around slight nuclei of aluminium, to form a stable alloy. Electricity is fatal to the discement of certain colors. Yellow and pink, two totally different colors, look strangely allike by electric light. Heliotrope is also quite pink, and subtleties of shade are quite lost in it. No light shows up shades and colors as wax candles did. It is certain that all the modern artificial illuminants mix up colors and shades inextricably, and electric light is worst of all. Glass containing manganese is slowly turned violet by sunlight, and Sir William Crookes has found that radium produces in a few days a coloration as intense as that caused by the sun in years. F. Fischer has now been studying the effects of ultraviolet rays, and reports that the light of a mercury arc lamp in a quartz tube gave a slight color in 15 minutes to four out of eight glasses, and an intense violet hue in 12 hours. The color proved to be due to manganese silicate. Likely to Win. Dime Museum Manager—Want a position here, eh? Huh! What are you remarkable for?

A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by coffee, says: "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and used it regularly, three times a day. "A year or two ago I became subject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of nervous headache and general nervous prostration which not only incapacitated me for doing my housework, but frequently made it necessary for me to remain in a dark room for two or three days at a time. "I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them was able to give me permanent relief. "Eight months ago a friend suggested that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troubles and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice, for my health has been entirely restored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary headache in all these eight months. No more of my days are wasted in solitary confinement in a dark room. I do all my own work with ease. The flesh that I lost during the years of my nervous prostration has come back to me during these months, and I am once more a happy, healthy woman. I enclose a list of names of friends who can vouch for the truth of the statement." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten days' trial leaving off coffee and using Postum is sufficient. All greers. LESSON TEXT.—Ezra 3:10-4:5. Memory Verses 10, 11. GOLDEN TEXT.—"The temple of God is holy, which temple ye are."

INTRODUCTORY.—In our last lesson we saw a large body of exiles leaving Babylon with high hopes, and rulphant songs of joy. But the journey was long, tedious and full of hardships. There were 42,360 of them, according to each of the three versions extant. But the detailed numbers all come short of this sum, and it is supposed that the 11,000 or 12,000 not ranked in the list under any place or family name were Israelites of the northern tribes. If these left Babylonia in March (Apoc, Esdras 5:6), they could not well reach Jerusalem, after a journey of nearly 800 miles, before some time in July. It took Ezra four months to make the journey (Ezra 7:9). They found the city in ruins, as it had lain for 50 years since its complete destruction by Nebuchad-nezzar. "Trees were growing wild on the Mountain of the House, and the jackals prowled among heaps of shattered masonry. Crumbling stone-work and charred timbers marked the site of palaces and towers, and choked the streets. The city walls and gates were leveled with the ground."—Hunter. The first business of the returned exiles was, of course, to provide some kind of dwellings for themselves and their families. They accordingly settled in the small cities surrounding Jerusalem, perhaps repairing the houses and walls that had been ruined by the besiegling armes years before, or contenting themselves with huts or tents. The territory they controlled was, of course, small, and hemmed in on all sides, including "only Bethlehem on the south, while on the north their territory measured no more than 25 miles in length by 20 in breadth," and even upon this encroached the heathen or mongrel population. V. 10. "Builders laid the foundation;" The corner-stone, or the first course. This was made the occasion of a great ceremonial. "Priests in their apparel:" The elegant and beautiful official robes used by the priests in their celebrations, especially the blue and scarlet and purple robes, with gold and gems, of the high priests and others, described in Exod. 39. "With trumpets:" Not for music; but, like our church-bells, for summoning assemblies and joyful announcements: "Sons of Asaph:" A guild of singers named after the famous singer and leader in the time of David. "After the ordinance (order) of David:" (See 1 Chron. 15:16-21). V. 11. "Sang together oy course:" R. V., "one to another," responsively. "He is good:" etc. See 1 Chron. 16:34, 41, Psa. 106, 107, 118. "They praised the Lord." The joy of the younger people who remembered the exile, but had no memory of the Temple of Solomon, was very great. V. 12. "Ancient men, that had seen the first house:" which was destroyed B. C. 588, 51 years before. They must have been 60 or 70 years old. "Wept with a loud voice:" The weeping was not because the new temple was smaller than the first, for it was larger (comp. Ezra 6:3, 1 Kings 6:2; 2 Chron. 3:3, 4). They wept because of the contrast between the beauty, the magnificence, the gold and gems of the old temple, and the simplicity and poverty of the new structure (Hag. 2:3; Zech. 4:10). Ezra 4:1:5. Fifteen years B. C. 535-520. "When the adversaries of Judah:" The Samaritans, and the foreign colonists from Babylonia, Persia and Elam (vs. 9, 10), which "Ear-saddon king of Assur:" (Assyria) (V. 2), (B.C. 720-715) and also Sargon and Asshur-banipal (B. C. 665) had sent to Samaria (2 Kings 17:24). Thus they had lived in Samaria 130 to 180 years. "For we seek your God . . . and we do sacrifice unto Him:" But they did it in a different way, partially in connection with other things which would destroy the perfection and power of the Jewish worship. V. 3. "But Zerubbbabel" and the other leaders refused the alliance. Two views of the course pursued by Zerubbbabel have been taken. First. Many have regarded it as a great mistake, a piece of narrow-minded, bigoted folly, which made enemies of those who should have been friends, and kindled hatred and jealousy, and lowered the moral tone and cooled the zeal of the new colony. Such seems to be Geikle's view. On the other hand, Rawlinson calls it "an heroic refusal to accept the material aid of a rich and powerful people at the risk of imperilling religious purity." "Thus was a great peril averted." Illustrative Points. The temple was the symbol and type of God's spiritual temple, both the individual Christian and the whole people of God (1 Cor. 3:10-16). The first thing for each one who would build the Temple of the Church and of Society is to be himself a temple of the Holy Ghost. The true Christian character when complete is a beautiful and costly temple. Compare Solomon's temple. The oxiles' temple was 20 years, and Herod's temple was 46 years in building, but may a soul requires more years than these for its completion. RUPTURE QUICKLY AND CURED PERMANENTLY NO CUTTING.

Every mother possesses information which is of vital interest to her young daughter. Too often this is never imparted or is withheld until serious harm has resulted to the growing girl through her ignorance of nature's mysterious and wonderful laws and penalties. Girls' over-sensitiveness and modesty often puzzle their mothers and baffle physicians, as they so often withhold their confidence from their mothers and conceal the symptoms which ought to be told to their physician at this critical period. When a girl's thoughts become sluggish, with headache, dizziness or a disposition to sleep, pains in back or lower limbs, eyes dim, desire for solitude; when she is a mystery to herself and friends, her mother should come to her aid, and remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will at this time prepare the system for the coming change, and start the menstrual period in a young girl's life without pain or irregularities. Hundreds of letters from young girls and from mothers, expressing their gratitude for what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has accomplished for them, have been received by the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., at Lynn, Mass. Miss Mills has written the two following letters to Mrs. Pinkham, which will be read with interest: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— (First Letter.)

"It is with the feeling of utmost gratitude that I write to you to tell you what your valuable medicine has done for me. When I wrote you in regard to my condition I had consulted several doctors, but they failed to answer my request and I did not receive any benefit from their treatment.

She will receive advice absolutely free, from a source that has no rival in the experience of woman's sills, and it will, if followed, put her on the right road to a strong, healthy and happy womanhood.
