The Time J.B.H.F Negro Revolut producing. - This will be the crowning event the season's numbers. ducing. - Greatest Ever invention of a Negro in St. Mc., will probably revoke the heating system of wild in a few years. Scientien who haqe seen it believe a few years the producheat by combustion will ring of the past, and that course of time, as improve are made upon the invental and wood will no longsed for heating purposes. invention is that of Chas. Baker, and it has been deated that it will produce enough to warm the largest age in St. Joe in the coldest air, without the use of coal. The heat is produced by Baker first told his friends months ago, that enough old did be produced by friction at the St. Joe court house coldest day of the winter, believed to be insane. he ends pitied him because of such mild fancies and it only a question of time he would have to be re-to an asylum. But Baker far from being insane. He been at work 20 years on a of his own that heat could be reduced by friction. He had a small machine and had used himself that it could Nobody else had been used at this time, however. He then Baker has built a one that produces enough friction to wafm one of greatest buildings in St. Joe. He has been installed in the center of the First National building and thousands of have witnessed its wonder life and have been forced with that Baker has solved problem of heating without question. s invention consists of a 6TH YEAR. ow Hall ight Sept. 5th crowning event numbers. Don't Miss It. of Times. ray, Manager Inventor ionize Heat Greatest Ever steel tube surrounded by a jacket and inside of the tube a wooden roller cut into four triangular sections and arranged about a steel shaft. The wooden roller is five inches in diameter, and the inside of the tube in which it run is six inches in diameter. The water chambers outside of the tube is ten inches in diameter, leaving four inches in the water cylinder The model is about 3 feet long. It is to be understood that the model will cot do the work that a larger machine will do, but Baker has demonstrated that the water in this boiler can be heated by friction sufficiently to produce as much steam as can be produced by any other heat. A two horse power motor is now used to operate the machine and the tests have shown that at a speed of 700 revolutions it will heat 990 gallons to a temperature of 160 degrees in 55 minutes. At the rate of 700 revolutions steam is produced in five minute from the instant the machine is started, and nuring the next 45 minutes steam is made at the rate of a pound a minute From teat time on there is a gain of ten pounds of steam every 3 minutes. It has been shown that the machine will produce the wonderful gain of 200 pounds of steam an hour. Many scientific men and expert machinist have seen Baker's invention and unite in saying it is one of the mott wonderful the world has ever seen. They predict that in the future it will be universally used to heat buildings, railroad and street cars. Although it has not been explained on a reasonable theory, yet it is a fact that the wooden roller by which this heat is produced is not burned in the least, and after nine month's use does showthe wear. Th on WICHITA, KANSAS, SEPT 3, 1904. ory advanced in explanation of this is that a cushion of air forms between the wooden roller and the tube prevents the heating of the roller and wear that would naturally follow wh'n it is turned at such a high rate of speed. Wonderful invention. Militia to Face Court-martial Savanah, Ga., Aug. 30-The court of enquiry investigating the conduct of the state troops at Statesboro will undoubtedly recommend to the Governor that Capt. Robt M. Hitch, Lieut. Geo A. Mell, and other officers shall be courtmartialed. Governor Terell, who is already about convinced that the officers neglected their duty, would certainly act on such a recommendation from the court of inquiry, so there is a rathr general feeling that there will be a court martial. I3 is also believed that sheriff Kendricks of Bulloch county will be removed frvm office by the Governor in view of the sheriff's cennivance with the mob. Officers Are Implicated It has been clearly shown by the evidence of several soldiers that the sheriff opened the door to the guard room, and, declaring that he acted upon the authority of Capt. Hitch, pointed out Cato and Reed to the lynchers and told them to take the cowering Negroes. Two sergeants on guard in the room asserts that the sheriff told them he had seen Capt. Hitch and that the later had said for them to give up the prisoners. Others corroborate the testimony of the sergeants. Some twenty witnesses have been examined up till now. It has been proeen that orders were issued to a squad here and there to come to the assistance of their struggling comrades, and that only two or three of the six or eight men so ordered responded. The men who led the mob, none of whom were masked, are uneasy as to what may be in store for them. The Governor has asked the grand jury and solicitor general to probe the lhching and punish the participants. The post office at Indianola, Miss., has been reduced from a Presidential office to the fourth class. It figured conspicuously in a race trouble last year when Mrs. Minnie Cox, the colored postmistress, was threatened with death by a mob of chivalrous Southern white bullies, if she did not resign. In fear of her life, she resigned and left Indianola and the post office was closed for several months, which resulted in the loss of much business that the post office department was oblidged to reduce it.

The finest production ever produced by local Wichita talent was that presented by the company which produced "Diamonds and Hearts" at Garfield hall on Wednesday night, Aug. 24th. The company had produced the same play at a previous engagement, but all who witnessed the first play and also the second, declared the later production far superior to the first. The performance was carried off without a hitch, and it seemed more like reality than like a dramatic play. Bernice Halsteae, a young lady of 18, with an affection of the heart, and a love for fun and a hatred of arithmetic, was very charmingly played by Mrs. Ida B. Clark; while Amy Halstead, her sister, and two years younger, fond of frolic, was championed by Mrs. Lela Davis; the roll of Inez Gray, a young iady visitor, willing to share in the run, was idealized by Mrs. Mary Carr For the very important part of Mrs. Halstead, a widow, and step mother of the Halstead girls, was very dramatically played by Mrs Dudley Johnson, who proved that no better selection could have been made for this part. The part of Hannah Mary Barnes, or "sis", a maiden who keeps house for her brother, was the part of Mrs. J. W. Thompson and the ease with which she carried it out added splendor to the play. Next came the villian of the play, Dwight Bradley, a fortune hunter and Mrs. Halstead's son by a former marriage which was performed in true villian style by W. A. Wright. Dr. Burton was the part of Dr. Washington But say, there was Sammy, the darky bell boy in the Halstead house, which was the part of Geo Patton, who kept the audience in an uproar of laughter. Yes, Abraham Barnes, a yankee farmer, 40-still unmarried—a diamond in the rough, was there and was much in evidence, too. Of course this part was played by Edward Landrum and in a way distinctive of Edward's style with a vim and push which make things lively. The part of Attorney to the Halstead's was carried out without a hitch by J. W. Thompson. Sheriff was the part of Will Clark. Many Trace Ancestry to Queen. Mary, queen of Scots, although she left, but one child, has descendants in every court in Europe. Children Early Learn to Walk. Nearly ten per cent. of children learn to walk by the time they are 10 months old. New Reach Extreme Old Age.

T. O. S. C. Club They Royally Entertain Visitors At Garfield Hall On Friday Night, Aug. 26th '04 The Season's Most Up-to-Date Affair - Much Credit Due There is no doubt that the reception given by the members of the T. O. S. Club at Garfield hall Friday night, Aug. 26th, was one of the swellest affairs of the season and undoubtedly was one of the most up to-date affairs that has ever been given in Wichita by any society or individual. The club which is composed of young people is one of the most elite of the city—and their reception on Friday night marks them as entertainers of the highest type. The doors were opened at 8 pm and Messers Frank Street, Thom Anderson, M. J. Staraes, Chas. Price and Sam Walker were at the door to welcome the guests as they arrived. The hall was beautifully and tastefully decorated, while each member wore long streamers of ribbons in three colors-the club colors-- When the guests had fairly arrived Miss Corine Miller took her place at the piano and filled the hall with charming music and those who delight in the light fantastic touch were at their best, while others engaged in cards, checkers and other games of amusement. For enjoyment and a high class reception this one stands alone. At a proper time a dainty lunch was served to the many guests. There was about eighty invited guests and club members present during the evening. The millionaire may smoke only dollar cigars himself, but he has to smell the five-cent cigars that other men are smoking. Now, if King Edward would start a fad for wearing trousers bagged at the knees some men would consider him a real benefactor. A French scientist has given a learned and plausible explanation of kleptomania. Now will somebody discover that he plagiarized it? While it is a mean trick to rob a defenseless slot machine, a short-tempered man frequently is sorely tempted to throw things at one. A Kentucky business man has used the same steel pen continually for 14 years. That's the sort of pen that is mightier than Kuropatkin's sword. Being fined $17.60 for over-speeding his automobile bothers Reginald G. Vanderbilt a good deal less than another mosquito bite would bother you. Don't be too harsh in your judgment of the sultan. He has his troubles. How would you like to sleep in a bomb-proof room in the summer time? NO 18 Tressa's creased at the side will fill a long felt want for bandy-legged men. Because a woman is a nice wife is no sign she is going to be that kind of mother-in-law. Anybody can afford to buy an automobile, but few of us have money enough to pay the repair bills. The first wireless dispatch has been sent from Nome city in Alaska, and it isn't a hard-luck story, either. According to a feminine expert the average woman's idea of being real devilish is to order broiled live lobster. The wicked generally get what they deserve in this world, but not always what their contemporaries think they deserve. A Boston doctor states that common soda is "as good as whisky ter snake bites." Of course he meant "as effective." Russell is 88, and working harder than ever. Uncle Russell should learn to control that inordinate appetite of his. A New Jersey professor has resigned his position to go on the police force. Means to hitch his wagon to a star, evidently. There is said to be a shortage in the broomcorn crop this year. Evidently the broom handles will have to be made longer. That Washington goat that is "charged with swallowing two sticks of dynamite" should be able to make a strong rebutter. Doubtless the Harlem woman who soothes and sustains eight cats has a kind heart, but lacks neighbors prepared to swear to this. Edward Atkinson has not reached the summit of happiness unless he has learned to expel smoke through his nose and blow rings. News from the far East says Japan's mosquito fleet is busy. New Jersey's mosquito fleet is also in action, and invariably puts the enemy to rout. The prize monkey at the Philadelphia zoo is learning to write. It is expected to fit him eventually for a place as society reporter at Newport. The technical journals tell us that "alcohol made from sawdust is already a commercial success." It seems almost impossible to fail to sell alcohol. Somebody has discovered that there are no red-headed dolls. Like the taste for olives, the admiration for red hair seems to be the result of cultivation. "By the way," asks the Boston Globe, "what's the duty on Guatemala ants? Do they come under the head of farming utensils?" Wild animals, more likely. Harry Lehr overlooked the chance of a lifetime while the Igorrotes were visiting President Roosevelt in not securing their attendance at a "dog dinner" in Newport. American soda fountains are being introduced in England. Gradually that country is advancing. The time may even come when they will be eating corn on the cob in England.

To the veteran every occurrence through which he passed is dear, especially so the little striking events of his early soldier days, writes an Eastern veteran. My regiment, the Fourteenth Rhode Island Heavy Artil- lery, was stationed at one time at Fort Jackson, on the Mississippi river, 40 miles above its mouth. I recall that fully one-third of our battalion were schoolboys like myself—all willing to grow beards and to become sturdy fighting men. Our officers, too, were new to the business of war—having been made such after a hasty study of the first seventy pages of the army regulations —making it plain that we must have training as well as pluck! that we were all supposed to have in order to escape the whipping and final anniht- lation said to be in store for us at the horny hands of our opponents, the Texas cowboys. A little later 1,000 of these cowboys were compelled to tether their mustangs and lay down their arms by us—but this is a di gression.. A little episode of camp life while at Fort Jackson will serve to show how promptly we took our first de gree in riding the “goat,” through casemate to parapet, when a genuine, soul-stirring cause for alarm came gal- loping into camp in the majestic form ot our surgeon, Dr. Carpenter, who brought the startling news that the rebel ram Isaac Webb was on the way down the river, having passed New Orleans flying the Confederate flag. ‘The Isaac Webb was formerly.one of New York's fastest ocean-going tug: boats. Her speed was 17 knots an hour. We were mighty quickly formed in- to lines and marched double quick up to the big Parrots overlooking the river. We carried our Springfields which we loaded and stacked, then shotted the 11-inch guns and the Par- rotts, and trailed to point-blank range every well known ship ecu:te of the river within our view. Then we impa- tiently awaited the coming of the ram, and while we waited toyed with our Adam’s apple, screwed up our knock- kneed courage (that so woefully wab- bled again) to the fighting pitch, and remained full of speechless wonder and surprise. But where was the Webb? We stood up, looked, listened, then looked again—but the calm and peaceful riv- er gave no sign of her approach. The suspense was so great that it inter- fered with our breathing; we could hear nothing but the tap, tap, tap of an organ which scemed to have risen and to be lying near our tongues. But where was the ram that our doughty doctor had fold us was coming? At every successive point. on that part ‘of the broad river in our view we looked, fully expecting her to poke her nose around and come on defiant. ‘As the day wore on the oppressing atmosphere became more clear. We stood erect, feeling quite jubilant, when suddenly a startling exclamation caused all eyes to turn. “Look! look!

In those historic '60s we never en countered another such memorable test of courage and bewildering sus pense 2s on that doubtful day in the time of our novitiate, On the Field of Bull Run. The autumn maneuvers of the army will be held on the battle field of Pull Run, that bloody square marked by Centerville on the east, Groveton and Gainesville on the west, Sudley Springs on the north and Manassas on the south. The changes that have come over that historic ground since the Civil War are few. The troops— and there will be, according to Gen. Corbin, 30,000--that go down into that part of Virginia might be guided through the pines, woods, cornfields and pastures of the Bull Run field by the topographic maps used by Beau- regard, Johnston and McDowell in July, 1861, or by the field maps used by Jackson, Longstreet, Lee an Pope in August, 1862, Bull Run rolls slug- gishly from Bull Run mountains to Aquia Creek, and Catharpin Creek, Young's Branch, Cub Run—all strat- ebic streams—pour into it at various points in the fighting ground.

Daring Wartime Deeds. “By the way,” said the Captain, , “Sergeant Sam Grimshaw received the medal of honor for seizing an unex- ploded shell and throwing it to a dis- tance before it exploded. In this way he saved the lives of several men. George Hunt prevented a fuse shell from exploding by crushing a handful of mud into the hole where the fuse was sputtering. He received no medal. Patrick Gimley, a private in Company G, First New York light artillery, in 1864 was caught between the lines when his command retreated. He crept back to the abandoned works, put three charges of canister in one of the guns, and blazed away at the enemy on the point of entering the works. This led to the reoceupation of the works by the Union troops, and twenty-six years later Gimley received a medal of honor for that exploit. “Samuel E. Eddy, Company D, Thir- ty-seventh Massachusetts, went be- yond the firing line to bring in the regimental adjutant, who had been wounded. Eddy was run through the body with a bayonet and pinned to the ground, but he shot his assailant and saved the adjutant. He received a medal of honor. Two of our boys who went into the zone of fire after the charge at Kenesaw and brought in a wounded comrade did not receive medals. Orion P. Howe, a 14-year-old drummer of the Fifty-ffth Ilinois, went under heavy fire at Vicksburg to report to Gen. Sherman the need of more ammunition, and was given a medal of honor. Lieut. S. G. Grubb and Dan R, Anderson, who put out the fire in Sherman's great pile of reserve ammunition at Resaca, when it was struck by lightning, have no medals. “Nathaniel Gwynne, a 15-year-old recruit of the Thirteenth Ohio ‘cav- alry, had not been mustered when the charge at Petersburg was ordered, but he went in and lost an arm. He was given a medal of honor in 1865. Gen. Adelbert Ames received a medal of honor for remaining on the field at Bull Run. He was then a lieutenant of the Fifth artillery, and although se- verely wounded, directed to the last the fire of a section of Griffin's bat- tery. In all, about 2,500 medals of honor have been issued, 864 of these going to officers and men of the Thir- ty-seventh Maine, who volunteered, when their time had expired, to re- main in service until after the battle of Gettysburg.""—Chicago Inter Ocear.

THE ISSUE DEFINED SPEECHES OF PRESIDENT ROOSE- VELT AND SPEAKER CANNON. Alike in the Address of Notification and in the Response Thereto, the Predominance of the Tariff Ques- tion is Distinctly Recognized. ‘The two speeches delivered at Oys- ter Bay on the 27th of July, 1904, first by Speaker Cannon as chairman of the committee appointed by the Re- publican national convention to notify ‘Theodore Roosevelt of his nomination for President of the United States; and, second, the speech of President Roosevelt, giving notice of his accept- ance of that nomination—have set- tled the question as to what is the dominant issue in this year’s cam- ‘paign. If any doubt remained con- cerning the chief issue, almost the only issue, which divides the two Breat parties in the civic battle of 1904, such doubt has been completely removed. The tariff is the issue. It has been made the issue by the plain words alike of the authorized spokes- man of the Republican party and of the candidate chosen by the unani- mous action of the Republican party. In his address of notification Speak- er Cannon devoted his attention to the tariff more largely than to all other subjects combined. After dwell- ing briefly upon the splendid history of the Republican party in its rela- tion to the shaping of events and pol- icies, Mr. Cannon said: “Under the lead cf the Republican party for over forty years the United States, from being a third-class pow- er among the nations has become in every respect first. The people rule. The people ruling, it is necessary that they should be competent to rule. Competency requires not only patriot- ism, but material well-being, educa- tion and statecraft. “The people, under the lead of the Republican party, wrote upon the stat- ute books revenue laws, levying taxes upon the products of foreign countries seeking our markets, which replen- ished our treasury, but were so ad- justed as to encourage our people in developing, diversifying and maintain- ing our industries, at the same time protecting our citizens laboring in pro- duction against the competiton of for- eign labor. Under this policy our man- ufactured product to-day is one-third of the product of the civilized world, and our people receive almost double the pay for their labor that similar labor receives elsewhere in the world, thereby enabling us to bear the bur- den of citizenship. “Liberal compensation for labor makes liberal customers for our prod- ucts. Under this policy of protection our home markets afford all our peo- ple a better market than has any other people on earth, and this, too, even if we did not sell any of our products broad. In addition to this, we have come to be the greatest ex- porting nation in the world. For the year ending the 20th of June, 1904, our exports to foreign countries were valued at $1,400,000,000, of which $450,000,000 were products of the fac- tory. The world fell in our debt last year $470,000,000, an increase of $75,- 000,000 over the preceding year. “This policy of protection has al- ways been opposed by the opponents of the Republican party, and is op- posed by them to-day. In thelr last national platform, adopted at St. Lonis, they denounce protection as robbery. They never have been given power, but they proceeded by word and act to destroy the policy of pro- tection. Their platform is as silent as the grave touching the gold standard and our currency system. Their chos- en leader, after his nomination, hav- ing ‘been as silent as the sphinx to that time, sent his telegram saying.in substance that the gold standard is established, and that he will govern himself accordingly if he should be elected.” Later on in his speech Mr. Cannon returned to the subject uppermost in his mind, as follows: “Correct revenue laws, protection or free trade, the gold standard and our currency system, all depend upon the sentishent of the majority of our people as voiced at the ballot box. ‘A majority may change our revenue Jaws, a majority may change our cur- reney laws; a majority may de- stroy the gold standard and establish the silver standard, or, in leu of el- ther or both, make the treasury note, noninterest bearing and irredeem- able, the sole standard of value. “ir, let us turn from the region of doubt ‘and double-dealing, the debat- able land, to the region of assured cer- tainty. The Republican party, stands for protection. It stands for the gold standard and our currency system. All these dwell in legislation enacted under the lead of the Republican par- ty and against the most determined opposition of the Democratic party, including its leader and candidate. These being our policies, and having been most useful to the country, we have confidence in and love them. If it be necessary from time to time that they should be strengthened here and controlled there, the Republican party stands ready, with loving, competent hands, to apply the proper remedy. I say ‘remedy.’ Being our policies, we will not willingly subject them to their enemies for slow starvation on the one hand or to sudden destruction on the other. “Since the Republican party was restored to power, in 1897, under the lead of McKinley, our country has prospered in production and in com merce as it has never prospered be- fore, In wealth we stand first among all the nations.” “ Not less plain and positive on the subject of vital importance of the protective tariff as an issue was Pres- ident Roosevelt in reply. He did not hesitate to declare himself in har- mony with the proposition that pro- ‘tection is and must continue to be the ‘settled, permanent policy of the Re ‘publican party when he Said: “We have enacted a tariff law un- ‘der which, during the past few years, the country has attained a height ot ‘material well being. never before reached. Wages are higher than ever before. ‘tha whenever the need arises there should be a readjustment of the tariff schedules is undoubted; but such changes can with safety be made only by those whose devotion to the ‘principle of a protective tariff is be- yond question; for otherwise the changes would amount not to read- justment, but to repeal. The read- justment when made must maintain and not destroy the protective prin- ciple. To the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer, this is vital; but perhaps no other man is so much in- terested as the wage worker in the maintenance of our present economia system, both as regards the finances and the tariff. The standard of living of our wage workers is higher than that of any other country, and it can not so remain unless we have a pro- tective tariff which shall always keep as a minimum a rate of duty sufl- cient to cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad. Those who, like our opponents, ‘denounce protection as a robbery,’ thereby ex plicitly commit themselves to the Proposition that if they were to re vise the tariff no heed would be paid to the necessity of meeting this dif ference between the standards of liv: ing for wage workers here and in other countries; and therefore on this point their antagonism to our position is fundamental. “Here again we ask that their promises and ours be judged by what has been done in the immediate past. We ask that sober and sensible men compare the workings of the present tariff law, and the conditions which obtain under it, with the workings of the preceding tariff law of 1894 and the conditions which that tariff of 1894 helped to bring about.” The fundamental difference in the attitudes of the two parties on the subject of protection is herein stated with great force. The Republican par- ty stands committed to the doctrine that only through the operation of the protective policy is it possible to maintain the American standard of living, while the Democratic party, caring nothing for the American standard of living, but intent, now as always, upon cheapening and degrad- ing American labor, brazenly antago- nizes protection both as to principle and policy by denouncing it as “rob- bery” of the many for the benefit of the few. No matter if protection does maintain high wages and a high standard of living. Being “robbery,” of course, protection must go. That is the Democratic attitude. Upon the general subject of reci- procity President Roosevelt said: “We believe in reciprocity with for- eign nations on the terms outlined in President McKinley's last speech, which urged the extension of our for- eign markets by reciprocal agree- ments whenever they could be made without injury to American industry and labor.” By this rule there can be no reci- procity in products which compete with American industry and labor. It is a safe rule. It is the only Repub- lican rule as laid down by the na- tional Republican convention of 1904. It -was what President McKinley meant at Buffalo in 190i. it is what President Roosevelt meaus now. It is also what the Republican party means ‘all the time. <3 i a NO rh ne SIND cache SUNDAY eCHOols EG EVE S SOT SA (is AE JN inva vy S/S SN LESSON TEN—SEPTEMBER 4, I, Elijah Gets Courage from a new View of God.—Vs. 9-12. 9. “And he came thither.” To Horeb, Mount Sinai, about 200 miles south of Beer- sheba, between the two arms of the Red Sea. Elijah reached Sinai after forty days of desert wanderings, sus- tained by the angel's food received under the juniper. “Unto a cave.” It may be that the cave was the very “cleft of the rock” where Moses is said to have been hid while Jehovah passed by when he proclaimed his glorious name.”—Cheyne. “And lodged there.” Literally, “passed the night there.” “The word of the Lord came to him.” “Probably in vision as he slept.”—Cook. “What doest thou here, Elijah?” What doest thou? Is there no more work to be done? What doest thou? It was a question full of tender reproof. : Practical. “Life is the time for do- ing. The world is a great workshop, in which there is no room for drones. God himself worketh as the great Master-builder. There is plenty to do. Evil to put down; good to build up; doubters to be directed; prodigals to be won back; sinners to be sought. ‘What doest thou here? Up, Chris- tians, leave your caves, and do!”— Rey. F. B. Meyer. 10: “I have been very jealous.” Unwilling that any other god should have the honor and worship that be- longed to Jehovah, who had himself declared that he was a jealous God (Bx. 20: 5). Does Elijah imply a re- proach, that God has forgotten to be Jealous for himself? “For the Lord” (Jehovah) /“God of hosts.” “That title Jehovah Bloi Sabaoth is here first used, to mark the contrast with Baal and Astarte, the pretended sun and moon deities, and others of the host of heaven.”—Wood. “The chil- dren of Israel.” Implying that the people had joined willingly with Jezebel. “Have forsaken thy’ coven- ant.” ‘The command against idolatry, Ex. 20: 8, first promulgated near that very spot. “I only, am left.” Elijah’s fevly is a justification: “I am here ‘in hiding because I could accomplish nothing elsewhere.” It is almost a reproach: “Why didst thou leave me alone and unsupported?” Jehovah's reply is to exhibit the real workings of his providence, so different from what Elijah had been expecting. 11: And he said. _ Perhaps tue next éay. “It is hardly likely that the stupendous vision would follow in- stantly and without a moment's prepa- ration.”"—Farrar. “Go forth.” From the cave. The traditional cave is very small, described by Robinson as “a hole just large enough for a man’s body.” “A great and strong wind.” “A rushing hurricane, which burst through the mountain wall and rolled down the granite rocks in massive fragments round him.”—Stanley. “The Lord was not in the wind.” The hur- ricane was “before the Lord,” his submissive servant, but it was not the Lord. “After the wind an earth- quake.” No manifestation of nature is more terrifying than when the wonted solid earth sinks beneath us. “But the Lord was not in the earth- quake.” It was but the very slight- est manifestation of his almighty power. 12. After the earthquake a fire. “I Sinai the lightning seems like falling masses of _fire.’—Sheyne. “After the fire a still small voice.” At once Elijah recognized the pres- ence of Jehovah, “wrapped his face in his mantle” in reverent awe, “went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave” to receive God’s further teachings. The Lessons for Elijah. That he did not understand God, and needed to learn more about him. That God’s ways are not man’s ways—nor even the ways of a mighty prophet. ‘That the world is in God’s hands, and safe. Il, Elijah Gets Courage from a New Start in Work.—Vs. 13-21, Elijah ‘was left to ponder over the lesson of Jehovah's gentle manifestation, which seems to have transformed his char- acter, making him milder, more hope- ful, and more trusting. 13. “What doest thou here?” Per- haps a day had elapsed since Jehovah asked the same question (see v. 11, note). At any rate, after the fearful portents of hurricane, earthquake, and lightning it was natural that the ques- tion should be repeated, as if to ask whether Elijah had learned his les- son frou this acted sermon. The prophet answered precisely as before. He was confused. It was all so dif- ferent from what he had expected. Time and thought were needed to bring out the teachings. 15. “Return on thy way” back to Israel “to the wilderness of Damas- gua co Site aeeiteited she thecrnate toe ae be ram, Ahab’s son, slew him, his mother Jezebel, and al) Ahab’s descendarts, restoring the worship of Jehovah. “And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah.” Abel-meholah (tke modern Ain Hel- weh) was west of the Jordan near Tirzah, not far from Elijah’s native Gilead. “To be prophet in thy room." Thus Elijah was assured by Jehovah of the permanency of his work, which, though not immediately successful, was ultimately to triumph. “God's workmen die, but the work goes on.” How Did Elijah Obey? He went at once to Elisha, and threw his man- tle over him—a sign equivalent to anointing, and promptly understood. In God’s time, though long afterward, on Elisha’s instigation and at the hands of an unknown prophet, Jehu was anointed; and Elisha, doubtless on Blijau’s instruction, told Hazael that he was to be king. 17. “The sword of Hazael.” For the record of the punishment inflicted upon Israel by Hazael see 2 Kings 8: 28, 29; 10: 32, 88; 13: 8. “The sword of Jehu.” For the bloody’ deeds of Jehu see 2 Kings 9: 24, 27, 33; 10: 17, 1825. “Shall Blisha slay.” There is no record that Elisha, sike Elijab, slew with his own hand. Elisha slew God's enemies “by the words of his mouth” (Hos. 6: 5), as the judge may be said to slay the criminal when he Pzonounces sentence of death. Elijah Lonely no Longer. 18. “Yet I haye left me.” Spared from the ter- rible doom that will fall upon Israel. “Seven thousand in Israel.” “These figures are obviously symbolical, a sacred, a rounded, a covenant, an ideal number; it indicates in all prob- ability a larger number of persons than the figures naturally denote.”— Milligan. “Every mouth which hath not kissed Baal.” “Kissing images was a sign of idolatry then as it is now.”—Farrar. This was God’s answer to Elijah’s complaint, “I, even I only, am left.” ‘The answer comforted the prophet, and gaye him new courage, while. at the same time it humbled him, show- ing him that not everything depended on him alone. ‘The choice of Elisha (vs. 19-21) had the same double effect, encouraging with companionship, humbling with a reminder that God could manage without him. The young man was found ploughing, with eleven servants guiding eleven other yokes—evidently the son of a wealthy farmer. Elijah’s hairy mantle, perhaps of untanned sheepskin—a token of his prophetical office—he threw over Elisha’s shoul- ders, and the young man at once un- derstood the sign and gladly obeyed. He asked permission to say farewell to father and mother. “Yes,” said Elijah, “but do not tarry long; re member what I have done to thee.” Elisha thereupon celebrated a family feast of rejoicing, speedily found Elijah, and became his servant and pupil. The great prophet, so lonely hitherto, had found a friend. ‘IMI, Elijah the Avenger of Na- both—1 Kings 21: 1-29. Five or six years after these events Elijah emerged from the retirement into which he seems to have gone, quietly instructing Blisha and other young prophets. Naboth was a bold and consistent follower of Jehovah (v. 3). He owned a vineyard next to Ahab's palace at Jezreel, and when the king wished to buy it to add to the palace grounds, he refused, remembering the Mosaic law which forbade the aliena- tion of inheritance (Num. 36: 7, 8; Lev. 25: 27, 28). Ahab acted like a spoiled child, and sulked upon his bed. Jezebel, how- ever, like Lady Macbeth, cried, “In- firm of purpose, give me the dagger!” Using the king’s seal as authority, she sent orders to the magistrates of Jezreel, bidding them carry out a dia- bolical plot. .A fast was ‘appointed, to mourn over some great wrong and impiety committed by the city against the king and God; and while Naboth was occupying the conspicuous place in the assembly to which he was en- titled, hired informers were openly to accuse him of cursing God and the king. ‘The program was servilely followed. ‘With scarce the pretense of a trial Naboth was condemned, taken outside the city walls, and stoned to death, as the law provided in cases of blas- phemy (Lev. 24: 1416). His sons also were slain (2 Kings 9: 26), and his property was confiscated to the king. ‘While Ahab with indecent haste was in the coveted vineyard taking possession and arranging for his gar- den, Elijah appeared with terrifying suddenness, and pronounced an awful doom upon him, his cruel wife, and his posterity. ‘The king's swift and profound repentance procured a post- Calumet Ss Baking Powder complies with the pure food _ laws of all states.

It is curious to trace how similar ideas have taken root in different lane guages and the various modes of ik lustrating the same thought. To take for instance, one or two familiar Proverbs in our language. We say “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,” ‘The same idea is expressed by Italians when they say, “Better an egg today than a pullet tomor- row.” and the French proverb is still more significant, “One hereitis Is no better than two you-shall-have-its.” WITH THE RUSSIAN TROOPS, SUROS (A HANCHUFIRS: Letters published in Russian news papers from soldiers in Manchuria give some vivid pictures of life in the Russian ranks. A private named Veruinan writes from Port Arthurz) “Two Poles, Catholics from Warsaw, got white all over when the yellow- faces began to shoot. Our Jew, Yanko, sold them amulets made of leather of a dead man’s boot to keep off the Jap shells. Thank God, we orthodox believers are not afraid of shells, The Poles asked Yanko why he did not wear a charm himself, but he put their money in his pocket and said:) “This is charm enough for me.’ There are hundreds of fellows here trying to do us soldiers, but one fellow got left badly by Yanko. Yanko had a 10- ruble note which he said the ‘Makaki" (Japanese) forged; he bought it for a ruble at Harbin and kept it as @ curiosity. A man tried to sell him a gold ring made of brass for a ruble and Yanko pretended not to know the difference and paid him with the Jap note, getting nine rubles in change, Next day the man came back and ask- ed for his money, but Yanko threat: ened to get him flogged for trying to swindle poor ignorant soldiers, and we all laughed. Afterward Yanko ex changed the gold ring with the ma- jor's cook for a bottie of vodka and treated us all, which is quite decent, considering he is a Jew.” LEARNING THINGS We Are All in the Apprentice Clase. When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness the story is briefly told. A lady of Springfield, Ill, says: “After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I received a shock four years ago that left me in such @ condition that my life was despaired of. I could get no relief from doctors ror from the numberless heart and nerve medicines I tried because I didn't know that the coffee was dally putting me back more than the Dra, could put me ahead. “Finally at the request of a friend I left off coffee and began the use of Postum and against my convictions 1 gradually improved in health until for the past 6 or 8 months I have been entirely free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening spells of heart trouble. “My tronbles all came from the use of coffee which I had drunk from childhood and yet they disappeared when I quit coffee and took up the use of Postum.” Nams given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. , Many people marvel at the effects of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum but there is nothing marvel. ‘ous about {t—only cormon sense. Coffee is a destroyer—Postum is @ rebuilder. That's the reason. 4 Look in each pkg. for the a Uttle book, “The Road to Wellville* Philanthropy is Rewarded. A stock broker who was on his way to the city observed that one of his fellow-passengers in the car was closely regarding him. After a time the man looked over and asked: "Didn't I see you in Frisco in 1890?" The broker wasn't in Frisco in that year, but thinking to humor the stranger, replied in the affirmative. "Well, I'm the chap, was hard up, out of work, and about to cimmit suicide. That money made a new man of me. By one lucky speculation and another I am now worth $25,000." "Ah! Glad to hear it." "And now I want you to take $5 in place of that dollar. I cannot feel easy until that debt is paid." The broker protested and objected but finally just to humor the man he took the $10 bill offered him and returned the $5 change. The stranger soon left the car, and everything might have ended then and there if the broker, on reaching the office, hadn't ascertained that the $10 was a counterfeit and that he was $5 out of pocket. Most Spoken Languages. There are 382,000,000 Chinese speaking the same language, making Chinese the most spoken language. There are so many dialects which are entirely different that they seem scarcely to belong to the same tongue.

Putting Chinese aside, the most spoken languages are as follows, in millions: English 120; German, 70; Russian, 68; Spanish, 44; Portuguese, 32. Kentucky Man's Duty. Jamboree, Ky., August 29 (Special). After suffering for years with pain in the back Mr. J. M. Coleman, a well known citizen of this place, has found a complete cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills. Knowing how general this disease is all over the country, Mr. Coleman feels it is his duty to make his experience public for the benefit of other sufferers. "I want to recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to everybody who has pain in the back," Mr. Coleman says. "I suffered for years with my back. I used Dodd's Kidney Pills and I have not felt a pain since. My little girl too complained of her back and she used about half a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and she is sound and well." Barkache is Kidney Ache. Dodd's Kidney Pills are a sure cure for all Kidney Aches, including Rheumatism. Two heads are said to be better than one, yet we are told that too many cooks spoil the broth.

A. Mrs. Elizabeth H. Thompson, of Lillydale, N.Y., Grand Worthy Wise Templar, and Member of W.C.T.U., tells how she recovered by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—I am one of the many of your grateful friends who have been cured through the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and who can to-day thank you for the fine health I enjoy. When I was thirty-five years old, I suffered severe backache and frequent bearing-down pains; in fact, I had womb trouble I was very anxious to get well, and reading of the cures your Compound had made, I decided to try it. I took only six bottles, but it built me up and cured entirely of my troubles. "My family and relatives were naturally as gratified as I was. My niece had heart trouble and nervous prostration, and was considered incurable. She took your Vegetable Compound and it cured her in a short time, and she became well and strong, and her home to her great joy and her husband's delight was blessed with a baby. I know of a number of others who have been cured of different kinds of female trouble, and am satisfied that your Compound is the best medicine for sick women." — MRS. ELIZABETH H.

The extent to which weeds are used in medicine is indicated in a recent bulletin (No. 188) of the United States Department of Agriculture. Most of those used are gathered in Europe, but many of them are only too common in this country, and while it is not likely that the farmer may succeed in getting rid of them, it is possible that he may turn some of them to account. The prices paid, on the other hand, are not so large as to induce a man to go into the business as a vocation; it is distinctly as by-products that the weeds may return something to him who raises them. Among root drugs the bulletin names these: Burdock, dandelion, the various docks, couchgrass and pokeweed. Wormseed and black and white mustards yield their seeds for medical uses, and these weeds are named as supplying leaves, flowers or seeds: Foxglove, mullein, lobelia, tansy, gum plant, scaly grindelia, boneset, catnip, hoarhound, yarrow, bleabane, blessed thistle, jimson weed and poison hemlock. The bulletin gives suggestions as to the packing and handling the weeds and the prices recently paid for them in the drug market. As some of the plants are known to be poisonous, the farmer who gathers them for profit should not use them without the advice of a physician. ONE USE FOR IT. Rejected Melodrama That Was Not Entirely Without Worth. George Ade at a recent banquet was asked to speak on success. "I suppose that failure is more familiar than success to all of us," he said. "We work away. Four things fail. The fifth thing succeeds. The hardest workers have the most failures, but then they have the most successes, too. "One of my early failures was a melodrama that I traveled all the way from Chicago to New York to sell to a manager. This was in my youth, when I had confidence in myself. The manager returned my melodrama. He said he didn't care for it. "I pointed out the merits in it which he had overlooked. I proved that he would make a great mistake if he should not accept this work. But he chook his head. "Can't you use it at all?" I asked desperately. "Well,' said he, 'I might grind it up and use it as a snow-storm.'"—Success. Sunply Not Greatly Lessened "The Australian aborigine," said a traveler, "is the most fearsome savage that there is in the world. Scientists say that he is lower than a good many kinds of monkeys, and this I can readily believe. "It would be necessary for you to have seen one of the Australian savages in order to appreciate the perfect innocence and food faith of the consolatory remark that a Scottish servant made to his employer, a recent immigrant. "Col. Sir George Clarke of the Victoria government, told me about this remark. He said the immigrant had killed an aborigine by accident, and was grieving a good deal at having taken human life. "His servant a day or two after the affair, got hold of some information that, he thought, would cure his employer's grief completely." "Man,' he said, 'ye needna fret my mair, about the creature you killed, for I have been credibly informed by trustworthy eyewitnesses that there's hundreds mair of them in the interior." How He Felt The Rev. Sam Jones used to tell of a man he noticed several times around a camp meeting in a Southern state. He seemed to take considerable interest in the services, but never went forward to the mourners' bench. Finally Mr. Jones went to him one day and said: "Isn't it about time for you to get religion?" "I don't feel fittin," replied the man. "Well," said Mr. Jones, "isn't it time you were fittin?" The man shook his head sadly and mournfully answered: "I don't feel fittin' to think about gittin' fittin." Move for Public's Welfare.

Plantation Chill Cure is Guaranteed Clever Sparrows. A gentleman, who, from a casual inspection had no other visible means of support than the bench he sat on in Franklin square, was seen feeding the sparrows the other day with little pieces of bread. The fat and greedy birds came promptly and ate voraciously while the feast lasted and still hung around when it was over. Then the host fished in a pocket of his scant clothing and pulled out a handful of a powder composed of about equal parts of tobacco dust and bread crumbs. When he threw this down it was immediately surrounded by the winged gluttons, but they did not at once eat. They eyed the stuff with little sidewise turns of their heads, and when they saw that nothing better was forthcoming all but two few away without as much as a peck at it. The two that remained, however, began finally to fan the powder with their wings, and in this way effected a separation of a few crumbs, which they ate.—Philadelphia Record. A Duel That Never Came Off. Senator J. C. S. Blackburn is never at a loss for a word, and is ready to talk at a minute's notice. His friends like to joke him about his garrulity, and recently a colleague told this story at a dinner at which Senator Blackburn was to give a toast. "In his younger days my colleague, Mr. Blackburn was very chivalrous. Asked by a friend to be a second in a duel, Mr. Blackburn readily consented, At sunrise the parties met at the appointed place. It was Mr. Blackburn's duty to say the last words about the terms of the duel. And, gentlemen," continued the speaker, "do you know that duel never took place?" A murmur of "Why not?" went around the table. "For a very simple reason," continued the speaker. "When Joe finished speaking it was too dark for a duel." COULDN'T LIFT TEN POUNDS.
