Will Help You TO See It.

Bob Burdette heaves this nugget OF
excellent advice over the tattlements
of his genius:
My son, when you hear men gr0wl-
ing and scolding because Moody gets
$500 week for preaching the gospel,
you will perceive that he never wor-
ries minute because IngelsOll gets
5000 night for preaching atheism.
You will observe that the man who
is unutterably shocked because F.
Murphy gets $3.50 week for temper
ance work, seems to think it is all
right when the barkeeper takes in
twice as much money in q single cay.
The laborer is worthy of his hire, my
boy, and he is just as worthy of it In
the pulpit as he is upon the stump.
Is the man who is honestly trying
to save your soul worth less than the
man who is only trying his level best
to go to Congress? Isn't Moody do
ing as good work as Ingersoll? Isn't
John b Cough as much the friend of
humanity as the bartender? Do you
want to get all the good in the world
Tor nothing, so that you may he able
to pay high price for the bad?
Remember. my boy, the good
things in this world a,e the cheapest.
Spring water costs less than corn
WHISKY; a box of cigars will buy two
or three Bibles. a gallon of old bran-
dy costs more than barrel of flour;
a sfull hand" at poker often costs q
man more in twenty minutes than
his church subscription amounts to
in three years; a state election costs
more than q revival of religion: you
can sleep in church every Sunday
morning if you are mean enough to
dead-beat your lodgings, but nap in
a Pullman costs you 81 every time;
30 cents for the circus and penny
for the little ones to ut in the mis-
sionary box; 81 for the theatre and q
pair OF old trousers, frayed ut the end,
baggy at the knee, and utterly
bursled as to the dome, for the poor:
the dancing lady gets 5000 a week ana
the city missionary ge.s 900 year.
the horse race scoops in $1,000 the
first day and the church fair lasts
week, works twenty-five or thirty of
the best women III America ne rly
to death, and comes out $40 in debt.
Why, MY boy, if you ever find
yourself sneering or scof1ing because,
once in while. you hear of preach
er getting a living, or a luxurious
salary, or temperance worker mak>
ing money, go out in the dark and
feel asnaued Of yourself, and if you
don't feel above kicking a mean
man, kick yourself. Precious little
does religion and charity cost the old
world, my boy, and when the money
it does give is flung in his face, like
bone TO dog, the donor is not ben
etitted by the gilt, and the receiver
is not, and certainly should not be
grateful.

A lady from this city, row on q

to her friends of the weather there
rs follows: II went down into the

an idyllic day, serene and warm. The

fusely bespaugled the grass. The

stances connected, with his leaving

going ahead In search of help. Wit
ness said Collins asked permission OF
DE Long to vO ahead with witness
and Noras, but was refused, De Long
saying to t'o'lins: "If you should 70
you would not get five miles from

Those who were in rs good physical
condition as NOras would prObablv
have gotten through to q place OF

course amt chances witness did.
Witness thought when Do Long
f. und himself giving out he should
have given his men y chance to save
themselves. Melville told witness
the officers had pOisun with them
with which to kill themselves when
all hope was abandoned. Witness
was questioned in regard tn finding
the Gaies Of Captain De L"g AID
comrades in Lena Delta. He said he
was present when the bodies were

there was talk of deposing De Long

thought Melville failed in his duty
toward the De Long party. He be-
lieved it would have been possible to

Of De Longs party might have been
