With this last paradox, he turned
partially aside, and 1 noticed that he
fumbled about his clothes as IL in
search Of some tobacco. I presumed.
Presently, he drew out of some in
scruitable hiding place an old creas-
ed and rumpled leather pocket book,
and took from it faded sprig OF ce-
dar, and handing it to me, said, with
that CLASSY, cynical smile I had seen
so often: There's rosemary, that's

From a Saloon to a Pulpit.

A little over ten months ago Char
les F. Whitcomb walked into Syra-
cuse wearing an old straw hat with a
hole in the top, pair Of shoes with
the heels knocked of, and a linen
duster. Yesterday the Rev. Charles
F. Whitcomb, OF Ira, Caruga County,
entered the Standard editorial rooms
the straw hat had given place to a
silk tile, and the linen duster had
been multiplied to a foil dress suit of
black. 1t is but a little over twelve
months ago that Mr.. Whitcomb ran a
saloon, where the worst characters Of
Detroit, Mich, congregated. He
went through small fortune OF $S,-
900 or $4,000; spent the last cent
with boon companions, and then
started on a tramp. At Port Ley
den, Lewis County, he abandoned his
former habits, and when he struck
Syracuse and the revival he main
tanned his desire to lead a better life
He took up one branch Of Mr. Ham
mond's labors-work among the in
temperate. This he pursued for sew
eral months. and was quite success
ful. He reached Ira, where he now is
pastor Of church, which has pros
pered under his ministrations. From
a saloon keeper to preacher in twelve
months.-Syrdcuse Standard.

The Bible In War.

When the war in the East was
breaking out, the British and Foreign
Bible Society entered upon the work
OF supplying the armies with the Ho.
ly Scriptures. The Turkish author
tiles refused to allow the Bible to be
offered to their soldiers. The Rus
slams welcomed it and the authorities
encouraged 1t In every way. One
officer having 700 men under his
command. purchased as many copies
and presented Bible to each one OF
his soldiers. Many men bought the
book and desired it to be sent to
their families at home IL they were
killed. Some companies, or clubs,
bought Bible and held it in CON-
mon, one reading it aloud to the rest.
Altogether, one hundred thousand
copies have been distributed in the
Russian army since the war begun,
and hsarly all have been purchased
by the men themselves. These facts
indicate that the Russians are not
opposed, but are friendly to the dis
tribution Of the Bible. 1t is also a
better book for soldiers than tho Ko-
ran.
The British and Foreign Bible So.
ciety has expended in the year past
more than two hundred thousand
dollars in the distribution of the Holy
Scriptures on the Continent OF Eu-
rope.-Ne,o York Obserosr.

Republican convention, held on the

four gentlemen were presented for
the Office OF Trustee, three for Asses

the only candidate for Justice OF the

A Beautiful Idea.

Away among the Alleghanies there
Is spring so small that an OK, in a
summers day, could drain it dry. 1t
steals its unobtrusive way among the
hills till 1t spreads out in the beauti-
ful Ohio. Then 1t stretches away a
thousand miles. leaving on its banks
more than hundred Villages and
cities and many thousand cultivated
farms, and bearing on its bosom
more than half a thousand steam
boats. Then, joining the Mississippi.
it stretches away and away some 1,
200 miles more, till it falls into the
great emblem Of eternity. 1t is one
OF the great tributaries of the ocean
which, obedient only to God, shall
roar till the angel. with one foot on
the sea and the other on the land,
shall lift up its hand to heaven and
swear that time shall be no longer.
SO with moral influence. 1t is a rill
"a rivulet-a river-an ocean bound
less and fathomless as eternity.

filled to overfiowing. and many went

speaking for the good OF the society
was responded to by DR.. s. W. Gould

a most glowing and brilliant speech.
showing the effects OF alcohol on
the human system. The main por-
ton OF bis speech was in showing
how a man can keep his pledge with
out calling on a higher power than
mans own self. He left the floor
mid loud applause.
The next called upon was Rev. DR..
Fowler. Of Wabash, who gave the
reason why he was interested in the
temperance cause, and why he
thought everybody else sh )uld be.
He said he had never yet converted a
drunken man to Christ. but that he
always tried to make them sober first.
and then endeavor to persuade them
to become christians. Then came the
life of his speech. He pictured In full
the saloon keeper as a murderer. q
robber, and a villain OF the deepest
dye. He painted the picture in it's
true light. and gave many illustra-
tions by which his assertions were
proven to be only too true. After a
speech OF about one and one half
hours in length. he quilted the floor
amid the heartiest applause.
VIM. Mcclure, OF Walnut, who has
OF late strongly advocated the cause
of temperance, followed with a brief
speech, telling how he had all along
been working against the good cause
OF temperance, but now how he in
tended to work in its behalf. His
speech came from the heart, sad was
appreciated by the people.
Brief closing remarks were made
by our President, J. NJ. Wickizer, at
ter which an invitation to sign the
pledge was given to those who had
not already done 30. The choir then
sang "Whosoever will May Come,
during which fourteen persons came
forward and signed the pledge; after
which the meeting adjourned with
great enthusiasm.

Plaint of the Dunning Publisher.
AFTER HIAwATHA,

Would you ask why this dunning?
Why these sad complaints and murmurs.
Murmurs loud about delinquents
Who have read the paper weekly,
Read what they had never paid for,
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read of church affairs and prospects,
Read of news both home and foreign,
Read the essays and the poems,
Full of wisdom and instructions;
Read the tables of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly
Should you ask us why this dunning?
We would answer, we should tell you.
From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper-maker,
From the landlord, from the "devil,'
From the man who taxes letters
With a stamp of Uncle Samuel-
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him;
From them all there comes a message
Message kind but firmly spoken,
"Please to pay the bill you owe u.s."
Sad it is to hear such message
When our funds are all exhausted;
When the last greenback has left US;
When the nickles all have vanished;
Gone to pay the paper maker,
Gone to pay the toiling printer,
/, Gone to pay the landlord tribute,
Gone TO pay the clerk and devil,
Gone TO pay the faithful mailer,
Gone to pay Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him
Gone to pay for beef and Bridget,
Gone to pay our faithful parson.
Sad ii is to turn our ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old ledger,
Turn and see what sums are due us,
Due for volumes long since ended,
Due for years of pleasant reading.
Due for years of anxious labor,
Due despite our patient waiting,
Due despite our constant dunning,
Due in sums from three to twenty.
Would you lift burden from us?
Would you drive a specter from you?
Would you taste a pleasant slumbers
Would you have quiet conscience?
Would yeu read paper paid fort
Send Us money-send us money;
Send us money-send us money;
Send the money that you owe US!

Measuring Core In the Crib

A Missouri correspondent of the Rural
World gives the follawing rule for meas.
uring corn in the crib.
Our county paper published rule, and
said il was passed by the last legislature,
but whether it really passed as this paper
published it--in the interest OF stock men
II don't know. The rule is this
Reduce the selid contents to cubic
inches and If the corn is shucked, divide
by 1890, which will give the number OF
bushels of shelled corn; but II the corn
is not shucked, take one quarter from the
number of cubic inches thus found, and
divide the remainder by 1900. Now, in
a pen 9x9xl0, there is about Is bushels
less by this rule than the old rule We
have always used. So, you see it is a
considerable item. A very nice thing
for people who buy good deal of corn.
You would please number of sub
scribeIs around here If you would in
vestigate and give us the truth about
the matter. | will give the rule we
have always used here;
Reduce the solid contents to cubic
inches, and divide by 2,l50, and take a
fifth for shuck, and one-half for cob, and
you have the number of bushels of
shelled corn.
