Young Wood began to realize that without an education he could accomplish very little, and with a strong determination set out to acquire that which he was greatly in need of—an education. He secured a position witherver Turk of New York, and began reading night school regularly. During his struggles Wood found friends the persons of Messrs. P. Sheridan and president of the Metropolitan Mercantile & Realty Co., and Treasurer John H. Atkins of the same company.

Wright, president of Barr's Dry Goods Co., appears to be one of nature's gentlemen. Many of our people come in contact with the president, and they speak in the highest terms of Mr. Geo. M. Wright, since they have come to know him. This well-known dry goods store is located on the north side of Olive street, between Sixth and Seventh streets, and is stocked with everything in the line of dry goods of all descriptions, millinery, suits, cloaks, men's and boys' clothing. Any available article can be found in Barr's. Mr. Geo. M. Wright, president, and the other officers in charge have made this store the center of attraction. We advise our people to patronize this firm, as they are friendly towards our people. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1907. JOSHUA CLUB OF THE FIRST BAP TIST CHURCH OF CLAYTON, MO. W. L. RHODES, PASTOR. his promises and walls in his precepts daily imploring him for guidance and strength for the continuance of His great work. -Ethelrine G. Howard. Joshua Club of the First Baptist Church of Clayton holds its regular meeting every Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. All are cordially invited to attend. Come and assist us in the great work we are trying to do for God—the duty of the club to the church. Beloved president and worthy members of the Joshua Club and visiting friends, I fully appreciate the honor conferred upon me in being called upon to express my views on so important a subject as the duty of the club to the church. I will first acknowledge my inability to express myself as I would like on such an important subject, but being unable to do so, I will not tire you and shall endeavor to express myself with as few words as possible. I consider the duty of our club to our church is the same as that of a child to its parents, for we are indeed the children of the church, and I think our duty is to do willingly and cheerfully whatsoever our hands may find to do, trusting always to our God that our efforts may be crowned with success. We, as a Christian club, purpose to raise the fallen care for the poor so far as in our power lay; visit the sick, comfort the distressed and help our church in any and every undertaking. We as a club feel it our duty to assist in any good work which may offer itself to our hands. We purpose to assist as far as we are able in paying the debts of our church; also in caring for our pastor in any way we may see fit. Let each one do his duty JENNIE TAYLOR.

Mrs. Josephine Jones, M. E. Q. DEATH CAME WHEN LEAST EX. PECTED. Mr. Lee Breckinridge, of 1333 Lucas avenue, died July 9 very suddenly. He was a good upright man and no one knew him only to respect him. Still he was a very peculiar man in his way. I have known him for 36 years and he was a consistent Catholic during all these years. He died at his place of business, which is located at the above address. If you could but see his junk shop; it is a mystery. After looking upon his things and seeing how things accumulate, it is wonderful. There was evidence of nearly 40 years. May he rest in peace. ODD FELLOWS' DEDICATION A SUCCESS. The dedication exercises of the Odd Fellows' Hall was a grand success. Mr. G. E. Temple was secretary. The program was excellent, and every one interested performed their parts with an honor and a credit to themselves. The choir was very attractive, with Mrs. Sydnor as organist. Miss Theo Asberry was very attractive and her solo was commented upon by many. Turner's Band rendered beautiful music for the occasion. Mr. Temple was at his best. All the officers seemed to vie with each other in making the affair a success. Blue's Band Excursion. The next society event of note will be the grand evening excursion of Blue's Concert Band, under the auspices of the Knights of King Do-do, the latest addition to the ranks of social organizations. The excursion will be first class in every detail, as a glance at the names of those managing will be sufficient to warrant. The dancing will begin at 7 o'clock sharp, and the boat will leave the foot of Olive street at 8:30 Monday evening, July 29. Prof. W. D. Flowers will be the leader of the enlarged orchestra. The executive staff consists of Wm. Blue, president; John L. Fields, vice president; Eugene McDonald, secretary; John B. Vashon, treasurer; John E. Eubanks, general agent; Jesse J.

In spite of the threatening weather Monday evening, more than a thousand persons attended the Orpheus Academy excursion. A most enjoyable time was spent by all who were presentt. The perfect order that characterizes Orpheus Academy and all of its functions prevailed on board, and the reputation that it enjoys for refinement and culture was admirably sustained by the courtesy and efficiency of the various committees, as well as the excellence of the music furnished. The event will long be remembered as a most pleasurable one. Enlarged P With every dozen of our fine photogr enlargement free.

It is always easy by agreeing with her to make a woman change her mind. The horse will always be necessary if only to haul automobiles to the repair shop. Cranberry growers have organized a trust. It will be a sort of feeder for the turkey trust. A nice, comfortable sort of wife to have is one who doesn't want to buy your ties for you. Why should anybody commit suicide when it is so easy to meet the fool that rocks the boat? A Washington scientific sharp now says that it is healthful to eat green fruit. All boys know that.

Chief Wiley means well, but he really ought to have learned that the anti-pile joke antedates his administration. Thread has increased in price, but man has grown used to using shingle nails and paper fasteners instead of having buttons sewn on. John Jacob Astor, of the Automobile Club of America, is a moving spirit in the organization of the American Highway Improvement association, which is now being effected. Few Yale graduates get married before they are nearly 30. By that time they discover that they cannot make the world over, so they are content to settle down and enjoy themselves. You should handle your best friends like your cash, says the Baltimore American, which leads the Chicago Record-Herald to ask: Can one have best friends in addition to one's cash. The Japanese are reported to be increasing in stature, measurements showing that they have gained more than an inch during the latest generation. Heavens! In addition to the other things they are doing are the Japs going to become giants? The example of the Decatur county, Illinois farmers in organizing a game protective association is worthy of being followed elsewhere. It has been pretty clearly demonstrated by investigators that the quail is worth a good deal more as a crop protector than as an article of food. British Ambassador Bryce is not one of those who believe the great republic a failure. He has traveled about a bit among our people and has studied our institutions with painstaking care, and he says: "The American people have shown ability for self-government greater than any people on earth." And as that is the opinion of an expert in governments, it may be taken as an exceptionally significant tribute. Beggars in Persia ride on donkeys and often make long journeys. How they manage to obtain these useful animals, or even to exist themselves, is beyond European comprehension. The Persian tramp, astride his donkey, will journey as far as Meshed or Mecca, when he returns with the proud title of "Hadji." Useful as the donkey is to his mendicant master, the latter often treats him in a most brutal fashion. When the unfortunate animal needs encouragement a piece of chain is a frequent substitute for a whip. Judge Uriah M. Rose, of Arkansas, one of the American delegates to The Hague conference, is regarded as one of the most scholarly lawyers in America. His writings, speeches and public orations, dealing with the subject of jurisprudence in general, but particularly with international relations, have marked him as a man most eminently fitted to uphold American dignity and interests at the conference. He is a Kentuckian by birth, and for the past quarter of a century he has been in the foremost rank of the Arkansas bar. Enforcement of the imperial decree against the use of opium has begun in China. All opium dens in Peking have been closed, and the viceroy of the province of Pechili has ordered all the local magistrates to establish hospitals for the reception of poor persons, who will be maintained free of charge and treated for the cure of the opium habit. This is in accordance with the plan outlined last November by the dowager empress. In other provinces the results are not so satisfactory, but there has been a perceptible decrease in the use of the drug. Dom Carlos, king of Portugal, is said to be genial, sunny-tempered, kind-hearted and generous. He is a man of exceedingly broad-minded and liberal ideas on the subjects of government and of religion, and is happy in his domestic relations. Mr. Dooley exclaims, "Why, be hiv ens, it won't be long till we'll have to be threatin' even the Chinese dacint!" It certainly won't if John keeps on getting ready to enforce his human right to "dacint" treatment. And that is all he asks. HARRIMAN SAFE FROM THE LAW TESTIMONY BEFORE COMMISSION GAINED HIS IMMUNITY. WILL BE NO CRIMINAL ACTION Chairman Knapp Says Railroad King's Presence Aided Inquiry State Laws Not Broken. Syracuse, N. Y.—Martin A. Knopp, chairman of the interstate commerce commission, said: "The report of the commission in the so-called Harriman investigation was intended to present in an orderly and reliable way the principal facts disclosed. The purpose of Harriman is mainly accomplished, as will be seen through the purchase by one railroad of the securities of other railroads and steamship lines, the purchasing road securing the necessary funds by selling its own obligations. "The extent to which this method has been employed is indicated by the enormous mileage virtually controlled by the Union Pacific. That company, in addition to the capitalization, which represents its carrying plant and equipment, has issued and sold securities to the amount of about $180,000,000, and has used all that vast sum in buying the securities of other companies. About $70,000,000 was paid for the Southern Pacific, and the balance for the Illinois Central, the Atchison, Baltimore & Ohio, Chicago & Alton, New York Central and other roads. "This method of extending and unifying railroad control is not, as a method, in violatim of any Federal law. Of course, if the result in a particular instance brings about such a restraint of competition as the anti-trust law forbids, that law may be invoked so far as it has application. Therefore, unless there is some restriction in the state charter of the purchasing road or in the laws of the state under which it is organized, this method of consolidation of transportation lines can be utilized freely. In this case the Union Pacific, which is a Utah corporation, has express authority to make such purchases, while the Southern Pacific, chartered by the state of Kentucky, was created as a mere holding company. "What I have just said applies to criminal prosecution as well as civil procedure. Whether any of these transactions were in violation of the criminal provisions of the anti-trust law, it is doubtless true that Mr. Harriman secured immunity by being called as a witness. This question was carefully considered by the commission, and it seemed plain that it was more important to develop and expose the actual facts, and there appeared to be no way to get to the bottom of some of these transactions except by putting Mr. Harriman on the stand." WILD WOMAN CAUGHT. Mrs. Jennie Lanigan of Erie, Pa, Crazed by Domestic Troubles. Erie, Pa.—Her every act resembling that of a beast, Mrs. Jennie Lanigan, known as the "Wild Woman of Glenwood Park," is a captive at police headquarters after a two-years' hunt by the authorities. She has made her abode in the woods adjoining the park and made the vicinity shunned at night. With a sheet about her, hair unraveled, toothless, and creeping like a wild animal, she has been seen by many. She was found asleep in the hollow of a tree. Two years ago Mrs. Lanigan became insane over domestic troubles. Makes Dive to Death. St. Paul, Minn.—A special to the Pioneer Press from Iowa City, Ia., says: Bohumil Kosderka, aged 37, city bathhouse custodian, made a 30-foot dive to death from the Ohio river bridge. In his dive he struck a log, was carried over the Iowa university dam and drowned within sight of hundreds of onlookers. Pone Honors King Menelik. Rome—The pope has conferred the grand cross of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre on King Menelik of Abyssinia. King Menelik recently conferred on his holiness the decoration of the Star of Ethiopia. Fishermen Drown in Storm Vancouver, B. C.—Two fishermen lost their lives in what is regarded by steamship men as the worst storm they have ever seen in the northern end of the gulf of Georgia. Chinese Student Gets Degree. Berlin—The degree of doctor was conferred by the University of Berlin upon Ma Do Yuen, a Chinese student. This is the first time a Chinaman has received a degree from a German university. Manchuria Road Borrows $20,000,000. London—The South Manchuria railway loan of £4,000,000 is to be issued by three concerns—Parrs bank, limited, of London, the Hongkong and Shanghai banking corporation and the Yokohama specie bank. Her Aim. A man who runs a truck farm in Virginia tells of the sad predicament in which a colored man named Sam Moore, who is in his employ, recently found himself. Sam had had considerable difficulty in evading the onslaughts of a dog from a neighboring farm. Finally the dog got him, as Sam kicked at him. Sam's wife, hearing a tremendous yell, rushed to the rescue of her husband. When she came up the dog had fastened his teeth in the calf of Sam's leg and was holding on for dear life. Seizing a stone in the road, Sam's wife was about to hurl it when Sam, with wonderful presence of mind, shouted: "Mandy! Mandy! Don't frow dat stone at de dawg! Frow it at me, Mandy!"—Youth's Companion. WESTERN MEN IN NEW YORK. Brains of Mountain and Prairie in Demand in the Financial Center. Ever since the early days, when D. O. Mills, J. B. Haggin and James R. Keene "emigrated" from California to New York, the metropolis has been drawing largely on the west and south for its supply of "men who do things." Theodore P. Shonts, both a southerner and westerner, who has undertaken to solve New York's great transit problem, is the latest importation in response to the call of the east. The promptness with which Thos. F. Ryan, of Virginia, turned the Equitable Life Assurance Society over to its policyholders, who now elect a majority of its Board of Directors, and divested himself of the control of the stock which he bought from Jas. H. Hyde, and the success of the new management of the Society under the direction of President Paul Morton, have created a demand for the strong men of the south and west that is greater than ever before. Under the Morton management the Equitable has made a better showing than any other insurance company in the way of improved methods, economies and increased returns to policyholders. E. H. Gary, head of the greatest corporation in the world—the U. S. Steel Co.-John W. Gates, Henry C. Frick, Norman B. Ream, Wm. H. Moore and Daniel G. Reid are other westerners who are among the biggest men in New York. SOMEWHAT OF A REFLECTION. Naive Comment of Debutante That Amused Hostess. A charming hostess of one of the "big houses," as they are called by those who are welcomed into them, has the added beauty of premature white hair. That which seems to her contemporaries an added charm may appear to the crudely young a mark of decline, at least so it appears in one instance of which the hostess herself tells with enjoyment. The lady is a connoisseur of antiques. At one of her teas a debutante rich with the glow of youth, but sadly constrained with her sense of novelty, was handed a cup of tea; the cup was beautifully blue and wonderfully old. The hostess desiring to lighten the strain on her youthful guest by a pleasant diverting remark, said: "That little cup is a hundred and fifty years old!" "Oh," came the debutante's high strained tones: "How careful you must be to have kett it so long!" Money in Raising Celery. money in raising Celery. Celery will be one of the principal crops produced in the neighborhood of Canon City, Col., this season. This is due to the fact that the late frosts seriously injured the fruit crop, and the growers have now begun to plan celery. Celery has been raised successfully by a few growers, and has been found to be one of the best paying crops. One grower realized $1,575 from one and a half acres last year, another $600 on less than an acre. The cost of an acre of planting and care is about $250. The demand for the crop has always been greater than the supply. A SMALL SECRET. Couldn't Understand the Taste of His Customers. Two men were discussing the various food products now being supplied in such variety and abundance. One, a grocer, said, "I frequently try a package or so of any certain article before offering it to my trade, and in that way sometimes form a different idea than my customers have. "For instance, I thought I would try some Postum Food Coffee, to see what reason there was for such a call for it. At breakfast I didn't like it and supper proved the same, so I naturally concluded that my taste was different from that of the customers who bought it right along. "A day or two after, I waited on a lady who was buying a 25c package and told her I couldn't understand how one could fancy the taste of Postum. "I know just what is the matter," she said, "you put the coffee boiler on the stove for just fifteen minutes, and ten minutes of that time it simmered, and perhaps five minutes it boiled; now if you will have it left to boil full fifteen minutes after it commences to boil, you will find a delicious Java-like beverage, rich in food value of gluten and phosphates, so choice that you will never abandon it, particularly when you see the great gain in health." Well, I took another trial and sure enough I joined the Postum army for good, and life seems worth living since I have gotten rid of my old time stomach and kidney troubles." Postum is no sort of medicine, but pure liquid food, and this, together with a relief from coffee worked the change. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. THE CHRISTIAN WORLD How the Gospel Is Carried to Rural Districts in England. For some years England has seen a strange "fleet" of "churches on wheels," or gospel wagons, 70 or 80 in number. They go out into the highways and byways of the country, reaching populations which otherwise would be neglected spiritually, having wagons, 70 or 80 in number. They go out into the highways and byways of the country, reaching populations which otherwise would be neglected spiritually, having neither church, chapel nor Sunday school. The fleet is manned by 180 hardworking evangelists, some of them excellent instrumentalists; men of tact in dealing with all sorts and conditions of people, says The World To-day. Each wagon carries a collecting box in the form of a tiny facsimile of itself. A generous supply of religious and healthy secular literature is taken on board, and last year the rolling churches sold more than $25,000 worth of it. Each of these remarkable gospel wagons costs $105, and the first of them appeared nearly ten years ago among the fruit and hop pickers of southern England. In summer time they are not backward in appearing on crowded seaside beaches, and even on race courses, where they attract much attention among a class of people who certainly never enter an ordinary church or chapel. TRAILED BY INDIANS. The Story of One of Bishop Hare's Silver Crosses. Bishop Hare, of the diocese of South Dakota, was sent west many years ago as a missionary bishop of the Episcopal church. He founded the mission at the Rosebud Indian agency, and it was his custom, says Youth's Companion, to give to each Indian that he confirmed a silver cross of a peculiar pattern. A few years ago a lady from New York was visiting in South Dakota, and the bishop gave her one of these crosses. Some years after that there was a general convention of the Episcopal church held in New York city, and several Indians were sent as delegates, all wearing Bishop Hare's crosses. Arriving in New York, they were dazed, and at a loss to know how to find the building where the convention was to be held. But stoically they started out upon the street. Soon after they met a lady, whom they immediately began to follow. Whenever she turned, wherever she went, they went, too. The lady became much annoyed and finally thoroughly frightened to find that wherever she went a line of red men was trailing behind her. But investigation explained it. She wore their cross, and they, seeing it, had believed her one of their number who would surely go to the meeting they wished to attend; so they had taken her for their guide. In Japan and China. Missionary work is often like a heavy freight train. It starts hard and for a time moves slowly, but when once under headway is hard to stop Both China and Japan are now beginning to show the results of the Christian work which has been done there, says Youth's Companion. It is 100 years since Robert Morrison, a young Scotchman, landed in Canton. He was the first Protestant missionary to China, and his work has so grown that it is proposed to mark the centenary year by the erection of a $100.000 Young Men's Christian association building in Peking. The public lectures given by the Christian churches are attended by the families of the highest officials, and "the sisters of princes, the wives and daughters of dukes" have established ten schools for girls in Peking. From Japan comes word that the Japanese Missionary society now feels itself strong enough to take upon itself the support of 30 native churches which have hitherto been aided by the American board. What It Costs. What is the cost of sending this $5.807,165 to the mission fields? The cost of collection and administration of foreign mission funds last year was as follows: United Presbyterian, 4 1-3 per cent; M. E. (north), 5 2-5 per cent; M. E. (south), 5 7-10 per cent; Baptist (north), 11 1-2 per cent; Baptist (south), 6 1-10 per cent; Presbyterian (north) 6 2-10 per cent; Presbyterian (south), 7 1-10 per cent; Reformed church, 8 7-10 per cent; American Board, 10 3-5 per cent; Protestant Episcopal, 11 1-10 per cent. Headquarters Moved to Chicago. The International Sunday School association has established headquarters on the eighth floor of the Hartford building, Chicago, Ill., and Mr. Marion Lawrance, the general secretary, has moved from his home in Toledo, O., to that city. Heretofore the main office has been in Boston, Mass. The head of the new department of Bible class promotion is Mr. W. C. Pearce, who has been national superintendent of the teacher training work. L.

Fayette, Mo., July 18.—Today's session of the Negro K. of P. Grand Lodge was devoted to hearing reports of grand officers and addresses from prominent members of the organization. The address of Grand Chancellor A. W. Lloyd showed that the organization has made wonderful progress during his seven years as its head officer, the membership having reached over 6,000 and the total collections for the year just ended being $20,000. The organization owns property valued at $10,000 at 3137 Pine street, St. Louis, Mo., and has paid death claims this year through the beneficiary department. Dr. W. P. Curtis of St. Louis is treasurer. Among the most important addresses delivered were those by Rev. R. H. Cole of St. Louis and Nelson C. Crews of Kansas City, who urged the members of their race to cultivate and to put into practice the habit of thrift and industry by saving their earnings and buying homes and seeking the friendship of their white neighbors. "We are not asking for social equality, for the intelligent Negro does not want it," declared Crews. "All we want is an equal chance to earn an honest livelihood and to prove ourselves American citizens." The Negro Protective League will meet Sunday, July 20, at Odd Fellows' hall, 2923 Morgan street, at 3 o'clock. Vaughn, president; Harrison, secretary. Col. Edward Morris of Chicago made a splendid address to the Odd Fellows last Sunday at the dedication of the Odd Fellows' hall. He made a lasting impression on the people of St. Louis. Col. Morris is an easy speaker, with new thoughts and ideas. Come again, Colonel. The Palladium Man will be at your house early and late to get what you owe us.

LOUIS PALLADIUM No man will court the hand of a young lady who is always the talk of bootblacks, and well you know. The reason why young girls do not get married to better men is because they try to work a man, then throw him aside and get the next one to squeeze.

The proof of our value of our work is that we are being imitated, and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown, and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when they say to us, "Grow your hair that sheing 'vis' the name of just as good") or referred to "PORO."

Missouri will this year apportion $1,411,870.82 among the public schools of the state. This will be the largest apportionment of school moneys ever made by the state and will make a per capita of about $1.40 for each child of school age in Missouri. The money is apportioned on the basis of school population to the several counties and the city of St. Louis. After certificates of the amount given above by State Auditor Wilder, State Superintendent Gass went to work on the apportionment, and it will be completed by July 25. Last year the amount apportioned was $1,360,265.75. The school money is derived from the revenue fund and from interest on the state school certificates. A Valuable Violin. A Gilman man is the possessor and player of a violin that is a curiosity. It came from Persia many years ago and is a specimen of Oriental art. The extension edges of the box are inlaid with small pieces of ebony, making a striped appearance. On the fingerboard are inlaid designs in rare wood and mother-of-pearl, among which are the signs of the Mohammed and Christian religions. The back is also handsomely decorated. A pitch pipe is set in the end near the tail-piece, by which the instrument may be tuned down to concert pitch. By reason of its extreme age the violin is very light and it has a fine musical tone. New Bunco Game. A small man who was trying to sell medicine in Macon county was frequently interrupted by a husky drunkard in the crowd. Finally the little man suggested that if the big one would step forward the marvelous remedy would cure him. The big man came with a rush, but the doctor side-stepped and laid him low. Then he calmly went on telling that his medicine imparted brightness to the eye, alertness to the brain and vigor to the whole frame. After he had sold out his stock it was discovered that he and the big fellow were doing team work. Clinton Under the Lid. Clinton is dry for the first time in the memory of the present generation. Recently four of the six saloons failed to secure a license before the county court, and the city council, believing only two saloons would secure licenses, raised the license from $1,000 to $3,000. This month five saloons were granted county licenses, and the council was asked to reduce the city license to its former figure. It failed to take action and the last two saloons are closed. That He Might Hear Bryan. William J. Bryan, who lectured at the Columbia chautauqua, showed his kindness and consideration by acceding to the request of F. M. Lowery, one of Boone county's oldest citizens, that he drive out to the edge of the city, after he had finished his address and tell Mr. Lowery what he talked about in his speech. Mr. Lowery is very ill at his home. He has been a lifelong democrat and a staunch supporter and admirer of Mr. Bryan. How Missouri Treats Joints. In the Oregon county circuit court at Allen, E. V. Marshall, a "joint operator," pleaded guilty to selling liquor illegally and his punishment was placed at 900 days in jail and $5,450 in fines. Sentence was suspended upon the payment of $700 and all costs. Marshall promised to close has "joint," and if he violates this promise then the fines and jail sentence will be enforced. Went to Sleep on the Track. Carl Miller, a section foreman for the Quincy, Omaha and Kansas City railroad, who has been working at Linden, decided to go to Pattontsburg to get his family. He sat down on the track to wait for a freight train that was due at 11 o'clock and as the train was late he went to sleep. When the train came along some hours later Miller's legs were across one rail and were cut off. Dr. Graves Quits University. Dr. Frank P.

The monthly crop report issued by George B. Ellis secretary of the state board of agriculture, shows the condition of Missouri crops to be rapidly improving. Wheat improved during the month of June and the average for the state is estimated at 13$ \frac{1}{2} $ bushels per acre, only one-tenth bushel less than last year. The quality is unusually good and the crop for the state will grade No. 2. Estimated yield for the state is 29,173,800 bushels. Corn is from two to three weeks later than at the same time last year. The average condition for the state is 77, or seven points below last year at the same time and three points below the average for the last five years. Condition shows an improvement of three points during the month of June. Oats conditions are very unsatisfactory, the average being only 76, 3 per cent of the crop having been abandoned. Death Kind to This Town. Taneyville, a small village in Taney county, has a remarkable record for longevity. The town is in the Ozark region, which is noted for its healthful climate, but Taneyville can point with pride to conditions which are remarkable even there. In Taneyville and the immediate vicinity there are 33 families. In 16 of these families the age of both the husband and the wife is in excess of 63 years. The oldest of the number is 81, the youngest 63. The average is 68. One of these couples was married more than half a century. Twelve of the 16 have been married only once.

Forgot His Training A farmer near Carthage has a shepherd dog which he has trained to go to the rural mail box and bring back the letters in his mouth. The other day the dog was returning when he flushed a rabbit. Instinct was greater than training, and the dog pursued the rabbit, barking to let off his surplus excitement. A neighbor who saw the chase said: "On, but it was a pretty race! I saw a streak of dog and a perfect whirlwind of letters and paper that fairly made me dizzy. I never knew before how to appreciate the fast mail service." Found Long Lost Children. A Hannibal woman has just located a son and daughter whom she has not seen for 17 years. When they were two and four years old respectively, the children were placed in an orphan's home in Quincy, Ill. Thence they were adopted by a well-to-do family, from whom they were kidnapped and taken to Kansas. The chief of police of Robinson, Kansas, found the young people's mother in Hannibal. 一 Parade of Missouri Drummers.

Payable $10 per Month Without Interest. Read What a Disinterested Expert Says of Dr. Chas. F. Simmons 95,000 Acre Ranch Now on the Market Dear Sir—Yours at hand. I would like to have called at the office when I came back, but it was Sunday and I took the train for home. I was on your 95,000-acre ranch three days. I found it much better than I expected. I am satisfied in my own mind that with proper wind breaks, as we have in this country, oranges, lemons, apricots, figs, olives and almonds can be successfully grown there. I am sure that south of San Antonio is the natural home of the English walnut. The soil on your land is much better for fruit raising than it is in this country, because you have a good red clay subsoil, while in Southern California we have gravel and rock that does not hold moisture. We have to irrigate here at least ten times a year and continually work the soil to think this would be necessary on your land in South Texas, at least not so much if because the red clay will hold moisture and will give the fruit a better flavor. Orange orchards in this country are worth from $500 to $1,000, and walnuts from $200 to $500 per acre. think south of San Antonio to the Gulf is a better country than from Los Angeles to San Diego, Cal., because the soil is better, there is more water, and the climate is just as good so far as I could see and hear by talking to old settlers, and the land is so cheap that every working man should have a home. I am sure that in the near future South Texas will be a prosperous fruit growing country and will be as valuable as Southern California, and the man who will lose money in South Texas is the man that does not get in on this cheap land of yours before it is all gone.

Which latter statement is a dedundancy—for no up-to-date woman would really ever think of inventing anything so pernicious to her infant's welfare. Has she not become enlightened to the dreadful lilies of that time-honored institution of our ancestors? Dare she imperil the intellect that is to sway the twenteth century by untimely "jugging" in its embryo stage? Poor modern babel! When colic's grips assail, it may not know the luxury of a steady tramp swung across father's shoulder—strange to say, men do not jeer at this dictum of the new motherhood—much less will it experience the bliss of being lured to rest in a wooden-slatted cradle or fluffy bassinet, swayed by the foot of a wondrous being who swings and croons, swings and croons, till baby woes are merged in blessed sleep. Its maker claims that sideways rocking is, indeed, injurious to babykins, to but his eyes, not his brain. Therefore has he constructed a cradle that swings lengthwise, and is shaped like a boat! How Pat Got In. Dr. George A. Gordon, pastor of the Old South church, Boston, tells how a witty Irishman stood before the gate of the other world, asking for admission. St. Peter refused him, however, telling him he was too great a sinner to enter there, and bade him go away. The man went a little distance from the gate and then crowed three times like a rooster. St. Peter at once threw open the gate and cried out: "Come in, Pat! We'll let bygones be bygones!"—Lippincott's. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Mixed Voices. Alice had been to Sunday school for the first time and had come home filled with information. She was overheard to say to her six-year-old sister, as she laid a wee hand over her heart, "When you hear something wite here, you know it is conscience w'ispering to you." "No such thing," responded Six-year-old; "it's just wind in your tummy."—Lippincott's Magazine. With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the tron.

Three Years Ago Worth Only $2,000; To-Day Is Worth $13,000. The following is a copy of a letter, of which the Agents of the Canadian Government throughout the United States receive similar ones many times during the year: Cayley, Alta., Dec. 7, 1906. Agent Canadian Government. Watertown, S. D. Dear Sir: Your letter dated Nov. 27th at hand and was very glad to hear from you. I see that you are still at work persuading people to move into the Can- dian Northwest. I must tell you that I owe you many thanks for persuading me to come out here, am only sorry that I wasn't persuaded sooner, and there is still plenty of good chances for many more right at the present time. I hope that you will be able to induce more to make a start out to this part of the country. Now I must tell you what I have accomplished since I came out here and it won't be three years till the 1st of July. I shall shortly receive my patent for my homestead, the homestead cost me $10.00 in all, to-day it is worth $30.00 per acre, but it is not for sale. Then a year ago last May I bought 320 acres at $7.00 per acre and sold this fall for $20.00 per acre and cleared a profit of $4,160.00. How is that for the Northwest? I now have 320 acres of land and all paid for, 15 head of horses, 30 head of cattle, 22 pigs, 2 sheep and about 150 chickens and other poultry, and all new machinery and everything is paid for. We also bought 8 lots in Calgary and 7 in High River. We gave $470 for the 15 lots and they are paid for. At present I consider myself worth $13,000.00, and when I left Wisconsin less than three years ago I had about $2,000.00. This year I threshed a little over 4,000 bushels of grain, have about one thousand bushels of fine potatoes and about five hundred bushels of turnips. Mrs. Belsiegel sold about $200 worth of garden truck and poultry this fall. Now there are lots of others in this community who did as well as I did in the same length of time. The family and myself are all well at this writing and hope this letter will find you the same. Yours very truly, (Signed) PHILIP BEISIEGEL, Cayley, Alta, Canada. Tin from the Sage "Well," yawned the sage of the park bench, "this business of chasing dogs around the town and taking them to the pound may be all right in some ways, but it certainly is wasting a lot of valuable power." g e d d r k r e w s a t u h e s t "Power?" ejaculated the par liceman in surprise. "Yes, power. When a dog is good humor he wags his tail, do he?" "Believe he does." "Well, now, if we could keep all the stray dogs in a good humor and stand them in a row and let them wag their tails from morn till night, why, man, there would be enough power generated to run a trolley line. Niagara wouldn't be in it. Wonder to me some genius don't try to harness those wags."

"A neighbor, darling, to use zeruna. I began to improve at once." MRS. EMMA STOLT. Mrs. Emma Stolt, 1009 Oneida St., Apleton. Wis., writes: "Peruna has done me a great deal of good since I began taking it and I am always glad to speak a good word for it. "Three years ago I was in a wretched condition with backaches, bearing down pains, and at times was so sore and lame that I could not move about. I had inflammation and irritation, and although I used different remedies they did me no good. "My neighbor who had been using Peruna advised me to try it, and I am glad that I did. I began to improve as soon as I took it and I felt much better. "I thank you for your fine remedy. It is certainly a godsend to sick women. "Catarrh of the Internal Organs. Miss Theresa Bertles, White Church, Mo., writes: "I suffered with catarrh of the stomach, bowels and internal organs. Everything I ate seemed to hurt me. I never had a passage of the bowels without taking medicine. I was so tired mornings and ached all over. I had a pain in my left side, and the least exertion or excitement made me short of breath. Now, after taking Peruna for six months, I am as well as I ever was. Peruna has worked wonders for me. I believe Peruna is the best medicine in the world, and I recommend it tomy friends."

C. 1491 (according to the close of Moses' chronology), toward the close of Moses' month, mount Sinai; six or seven weeks after the giving of the law. PLACE.—The people are still encamped before Mount Sinai in the Valley of Er Rew. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES.—Warnings against modern idolatry: Rom. 1:21; 2:15; 1 Cor. 6:10; 10:14, 20:22; 1 John 5:21; Rev. 21:8. Comment and Suggestive Thought. Comment and suggestive thought. After the commandments had been given by God through Moses and the covenant assented to by the people, Moses again went up into the mount to obtain the commandments in more permanent form, written on tablets of stone, and to receive further instructions; and also to be prepared by his intimate communion with God for his long and difficult work of forming the people into a nation that could dwell in the promised land. Every quality of mind and of spirit was to be taxed to the utmost. Every minister, every teacher, every believer needs, says Joseph Parker, "periods of solitude and communing with God; away from the fray, the battle, the race, but receiving nourishment, nutriment, inspiration, comfort, and even words by which to express the divine thought. And, coming back from the mountain of contemplation, he touches life with a steadier hand, and does his duty with a completer obedience and more radiant cheerfulness." V. 1. "Saw that Moses delayed." He was gone 40 days (Ex. 25:18), almost seven weeks, if the week with the leaders in the lower parts of the mountain is to be added (Ex. 24:9, 16). The absence of Moses was a time of testing both the leaders and the people. They had just taken the oath of allegiance to God, and unanimously promised to obey him. V. 1. "Up, make us gods," or a god, "which shall go before us," and be our leader. They could not see God, and they wanted some visible expression of God. They had several manifestations of God,—the pillar of cloud and fire, the glory on the mountain, and the daily manna; but even these became so common that they did not make them realize the presence of God. They had just come from the land of idols, heathen gods everywhere. All these gods could be seen. The attractions of idolatry were of no mean power. They were familiar with the way in which the idols of the heathen were worshiped, with feasting and rioting and unrestrained licentiousness, in marked contrast with the purity and self-control required by Jehovah. V. 5. "And when Aaron saw it (this)." Saw in what light the people viewed the image. "He built an altar before it . . . and said, to-morrow is a feast to the Lord." God was still to be worshiped, but under the form of a calf. Probably Aaron thought he was very shrewd in thus saving for God what he could of honor and reverence. So Jehovah boasted of his zeal for the Lord of hosts while he was worshiping the golden calves of Jeroboam (2 Kings 10:16, 29). V. 7. "The Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down." Moses in the thick cloud which covered the top of Sinai could not see or hear what was going on below. But it was no time for him to remain apart, even in communion with God; there was work to do below, which his mountain-top experience fitted him to do. So the three disciples who viewed the Transfiguration wee not allowed to remain on the Mount, but were sent down to their daily work where the others were in vain trying to cure a demon-controlled boy. To test him, God offered to destroy the nation and make Moses the second Abraham of a new and greater people. Moses stood the test, rejected the tempting offer, and urged upon God three pleas for mercy. Moses hastened down the mountainside, with Joshua, who had been waiting for him. Soon they came in sight of the abominable idol, and the frenzled worshippers dancing, half naked, around it. Probably there was a power not only in his soul, but in his appearance,—some gleams of that glory described in Ex. 34:35. The breaking of the tables of the covenant was enough to cause the stoutest heart to fear. Moses then burned the golden calf and ground it to powder. "It is almost impossible to pulverize pure gold, but the act was made easily possible, probably, by alloys present in the jewelry from which the idol had been made." Then Moses put the question, "Who is on the Lord's side?" Who will stand for the right, whatever their past mistakes, whoever else may refuse? Practical Points. The consequences of loving anything more than we love God are deadly. The character deteriorates; the conscience destroys peace; the allurements and attractions fade into horrors; plagues come; we fail of God's guidance; the idol is destroyed and nothing takes its place. "The soul is like a curious chamber with elastic walls, which can be expanded, with God as its guest, illimitable, but which, without God, shrinks and shrivels until every vestige of the divine is gone."—Henry Drummond, in Natural Law.

A certain lady, noted for her kind heart and open hand, was approached not long ago by a man who, with tragic air, began: "A man, madam, is often forced by the whip of hunger to many things from which his very soul shrinks—and so it is with me at this time. Unless, madam, in the name of pity, you give me assistance, I will be compelled to do something which I never before have done, which I would greatly dislike to do." Much impressed, the lady made haste to place in his hand a five-dollar bill. As the man pocketed it with profuse thanks, she inquired: "And what is the dreadful thing I have kept you from doing, my poor man?" "Work," was the brief and mournful reply.—Harper's Weekly. SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suffered 10 Years—Completely Cured by Cuticura. "Small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs and shortly afterwards they became so sore that I could scarcely walk. The sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared. The itching was so severe that I would scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. After I suffered thus about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county and many remedies gave no relief. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering and an expenditure of at least $50 or $60 in vainly endeavoring to find a cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Vermillon, S. Dak., Aug. 18, 1906." Judges at Their Best. In the course of a recent case before Mr. Justice Darling the judge declined to make a requested ruling, saying that if he did so the court of appeals would say he was wrong. Counsel having expressed disagreement with this view, the judge said: "Well, you know the court of appeals as well as I do, perhaps better, for you see them at work, while I only meet them at luncheon." To which the barrister dryly replied: "Your lordship sees them at their best."—Law Notes. Did Not Prevent Raveling. The raveling of state highways in Massachusetts during dry weather has generally been prevented in the past by spreading a thin coat of sand over the surface. During last year, however, there were two quite protracted dry spells which disturbed the bond of the road and caused loose stones to stand up on the surface. Although sand was spread thinly as before, it did not prevent the raveling in all instances.—Engineer. Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starches put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day.

Chew What You Know About and Know What You Are Chewing There is real pleasure in chewing the best tobacco grown—where the best tobacco grows—in the famous Piedmont Country. Only choice selections of this well-matured and thoroughly cured tobacco is used in making SCHNAPPS. That's why SCHNAPPS and others of the Reynold's brands, as shown by the Internal Revenue statistics for a fiscal year, made the wonderful growth of six and one-quarter million pounds, or a net gain of one-third of the entire increased consumption of chewing and smoking tobaccos in the United States. Evidently, chewers cannot resist the flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS because SCHNAPPS cheers them more than any other chewing tobacco, and every man that chews SCHNAPPS passes the good thing along—one chewer makes other chewers—until the fact is now established that there are many moreulating flavor so appreciated by tobacco lovers. All imitations contain much more sweetening than SCHNAPPS. They are made that way to hide poor tobacco improperly cured. For the man who chews tobacco for tobacco's sake, there is no chew like SCHNAPPS. We will ship SCHNAPPS direct from factory to retail dealers in lots of 10 lbs. and over, at the established jobbing price of 40c per pound, express or freight prepaid to nearest point to which a published through rate is obtainable from point of shipment; or mail to any address a sample 5c cut of SCHNAPPS and a cambric tobacco pouch, upon receipt of 5c in postage.

SCHNAPPS pleases all classes of chewers: the rich, because they do not find a chew that really pleases them better at any price; the poor, because it is more economical than the large 10c. or 15c. plugs and they get their money's worth of the real snappy, stimulating flavor so appreciated by tobacco lovers.
