to-day, but MIR. James told him to re-
main at his post, Us 1t was now proba-

place Of third assistant, which would
result in the continuance of lIazen in
that Office, and consequently Of
Freeman as assistant attorncy-gcncr-
al, Frecman'g place was wanted for
I~IaZcn, who was to vacate to make a
place for GrIcr, but Grier's declina-

that Freeman and Ul1cn will remain
where they are. Frecmau's place is
the hest in the department, aud he
holds il at the bands Of the Postmas-

JUST WHEN.

Just when the way is roughest, and the
feet are bruised aud torn,
And the back oppressed with the burdens,
so long and patiently borne,
We find that the path grows smoother,t the
mountains and hills recede,
And there is rest and refreshment TO meet
this hour of need.
Just when we feel the weakest In some
dark and deSolate hour,
When the spirit of evil assails and torments
with relentless power;
Then suddenly strength is given and We
who are lying low
Have risen TO fre<her triumphs-have
again conquered the foe.
Though closer the shadows gather, and
weary appears the way
That leadeth through clouds and darkness,
where shineth the perfect day;
Though the vessel in which we're sailing
bears close to the rocky coast,
We are sure of help when we need it-iust
when we need il most.
And so we have but 10 trust to our Heay-
cnly Fathers care,
Feeling our way in the darkness, tby the
light OF faith and prayer;
For We know that His heart is tender to-
ward all the children of men,
And our prayers He will surely answer,
tho we know neither how or when.

AN ANCIENT LUTnERAs BIBLE--
Wade w. Hampton, Of Luray, Page

with him a German Bible printed at
Sta.burg in the year 1915. lie says
there is tradition connected with the
book that il vas hidden in the trunk Of
hollow tree during the Thirty years
War, and that tie stains at The edges
of many Of the leavesresulted from moist
ure gathering in IFS hiding place. Mich
olas Spiry, the maternal grandfather of
Mr. Hsrnpton's wife, brought the Bible
to this country. lie settled in Winebes-
ter, Va. The name was consequently
changed TO Sperry. The brazen clasps
have been broken, but otherwise the book
is 10 fair condition. There are about I76
illustrations in il. With the Bible has
been handed downa part Of sn old manu.

ministers Of God to a realization OF their
responsibilities. 1t was conjectured BY

Five boys, pupils in the boarding.

THAT makes no difference WeWill
teach you. Come. Do not LEI our sport
be spoiled.
The boy perceived that this was the
decisive moment. An, just sdch are the
critical points, sometimes the turning
point of life. His resolution was in
s,an,ly taken. He made 70 more e1-
cuses, but at once planted himseltsqnare
upon principle.

cards, aud shall hot act contrary 10 hla

This ended the matter 1t did more
1t established his position among his
companions. 1t compelled their respect,
and preserved him from temptation Tor
the future.
Such boy inspires confidence. Ths
incident may seem small in ITSELF b"o
il gives promise Of the future better
than thousands of gold. Three sterling
qualities are manifested; conscientious
regard TO the wishes OF parents. superb
ority TO the fear of the ridicule OF his
companions, and decision. These qnal-
tiles form a shield and n buckler in re-
gard to all temptation. Happy the boy
who is possessed of them. You would
expect that his career would be honora'
ble and successful.
Years have passed. The boy has be-
come man. Various and trying have

1t is said that there is no friendship
between women SO strong that one
good looking young man is not able to
break up.
Hens have often habit of biting aud
pulling at their feathers, and greediIy
eating them until their bodies are bare.
This practice is probably occssioned BY
a want of salt; as when sailed food Is

l3- MARRIED WoMEN's RIGHTs.-The
Supreme Court of West Virginia has re-
Gently decided case Involving the rights
of married women, which goes step or
two further than the generally accepted
opinion. The court in rendering its de-
csion in the case, Hannah Miller W. An
drew Peck, prepared the following sylla-
bus which we reproduce.
u. \ married woman having personal
property which she is allowed TO hold by
statute, rs her separate property, may
barter and trade with reference thereto,
thro' her husband rs her agent, and will
be entitled to the increase thereof, though
living with her husband.
-. Such married woman may, in her
own name, proceed under the statute of
interpleadcr to assert her right to such
property.
"Although her husband may have Civ
en- his own labor in such barter and trade,
and may have used the labor of his horse
therein, in the absence of the fraud OF the
wife, this does not change the character
of he property is not liable for the debts
OF the husband

How to Make an Ox.YOke,

A yoke should, first of all, says a cor
respondent in the NetO England Far
nler, "be easy for TIE oxen, riding well
on their necks, and the yoke that will
tit one pair of cattle to perfection will
often be found to chafe and irritate
another pair so that they can not put
out half their strength. il you have a
PAIR of cattle girthing seven feet, and
with very thick necks, you want to make
your yoke eleven inches on the neck;
ten inches will be distance enough if
the cattle have thin necks. It should
be twenty-four inches between the bows;
and taken out on the top two inches;
make the breast eight inches deep. To
do this You will have to use a stick of
timber seven by ten inches. The yoke
wants to be seven inches wide on the
neck, and reduced to five inches at the
centre and on the ends, taking off equal
ly from both sides, and the corners
carefully rounded off and smoothed. A
yoke of this size will need two inch
bow holes. The best wood for the pur-
pose is good tough bit of elm, which
will not split nor break, and if made as
have described it will hug down on
the neck just right. At the New Eng
land fair the other day I could not help
noticing with surprise the yokes which
lay beside some of the oxen in the
pens; they looked more like a sweep to
an old fashioned cider mill than like an
OK yoke, and 1 am sorry that 1 did
not enter one of mine to show visitors
what yoke should be-"
