rHR FAITHFUL smEPHERD Roy.


Gerhardt was a German shepherd
boy; and a noble fellow he was, too,
although he was very, very poor.
One day as he was watching his flock
which was feeding in the valley on the
borders of forest. hunter came out
of the woods and asked:
How far is il to the nearest village!"
"Six miles, SIR" replied the boy; but
the road is only sheep track. aud very
easily missed"
The hunter glanced at the crooked
track. and then said:
my lad. am hungry, tired and
thirsty. l have lost my companions
and missed my way. Leave your sheep
and show me the road. / will pay you
yell. f.
81 can not go. SIR replied Gerhardt.
very firmly. my master pays me for
any time. and he trusts me with his
sheep. II were to sell you my time.
which does not belong to me. and the
sheep should get lost. it would be just
the same a. ii stole them"
"Well." said the hunter, Twill you
trust your sheep with me while you 90
to the village and get some food and
drink aud guidey will take good
care of your sheep"
81 can not leave my sheep. sir. They
would stray into the forest and be eaten
by wolfe es or stolen by robbers"
"Wel!, what Of that" queried the
hunter. ''They are not your sheep.
The loss OF one or more would not be
much to your master; and I'll give you
more money than you ever earned be-
fore in whole year."
The boy shook his head.
''rhe sheep do not know your voice,
and"
"And what! Can't you trust me.
DO | look like dishonest mani" in
quired the hunter rather angrily.
''Sir," said the boy, slowly. "you
tried to make me false to my trust, and
wanted me to break my word to my
master. How do / know you would
keep your word to me."
The hunter laughed, for he felt that
the boy had fairly cornered him.
u see.. my lad, that you are . good
faithful boy. ] will not forget you.
Show me the road and will try to
make 1t out myself :.
Gerhardt now offered the humble
contents Of his scrip to the hungry man,
? who. coarse as they were. ate them
gladly. Presently their attendants
rcame up, and then Gerhardt, to his sur
prise. found that the hunter was the
Grand Duke, who owned all the coun.
try round. The Duke was SO pleased
with the boys honesty that he sent for
him shortly after and had him educated.
In after years Gerhardt became very
rich and powerful man; but he remained |
honest and true to his dying day. |
Honesty. truth and fidelity are precious

Preston, Iowa, for So. 500, Westmont bringing
me of this amount $780, He was one of the
kindest and gentest horses ever saw.
My wife while driving him one evening was
obliged to stop and wait for train of cars to
pass. When she started the horse up she felt
the left line coming to her and at once thought
the bit had broken in his mouth; but the billet
of the line caught on the suspender of the breast
collar and in pulling on it with all her force she
could only succeed in getting the horse around
in a small circle in the road at a slow pace
Being unable to stop him. she jumped over the
wheel, thinking to catch him by the head but in
doing this unluckly sprained her ankle and fell
TO the ground. The horse being entirely free
from control Immediately started and went a
mile and half down town. with numerous boys
running out and shouting and trying
to have him stop, and never once
broke into run. Upon another occasion, while
sitting in my Office, I was asked if that was my
horse in the street. and upon looking up discov-
cred that it was Westmont, and without any
bride on. He had rubbed the bride off in his
stall, back of my Office, and was leisurely walk
ing home hitched to wagon when l caught
him. Upon another occasion, the groom in tax
ing him from the track to the blacksmith shop
to be shod, left him standing unhitched in front
OF the stall while he went away for a seat to the
wagon. The horse in his exuberance of spirit
went caperlng off with the wagon after, through
many intricate places and lot of agricultural
machinery, without striking the wagon, and
when through with his play, went up to the stall
and saluted his groom with winnow."

taught what our opponents call ''fanaticism."
Let them be taught simply the cold facts Of
science as revealed in the laboratory of the
chemist and by actual experiments by learned
scientists. Alasl for our Anglo-Saxon love of
home and of liberty, if we cannot make the peo-
pie recognize the justice of such a demand.
Finally, as one of the very best educa-
tiona1 influences of our children, let the
conflict between the temperance advocates
and the legions OF King Alcohol go on with in
creased vlgor. Reared under such influences,
and breathing such an atmosphere our children
will early enlist under the white banner of tenn

promising army of temperance soldiers, who
with true hearts and stalwart arms shall bear
our flag onward and plant it on the high places
of the Nation, where it shall wave in triumph
over free people. redeemed from the bondage

ing, was led by Mrs Cotton, of Southport, and
at 1880 o'clock an address on tenn
perance was delivered by Mrs. Hill,
the superintendent of the temperance
work among the colored people of Indianapolis.
Her remarks were devoted mainly to narrating

cises and Mrs. DR.. Harvey presided over the
meetings both in the morning and afternoon.
The young peoples meeting, held in the pavil-
ion at o'clock, was led by Miss Mollie Hay,

The evening sermon was delivered by Rev. j.
w. Duncan, of Franklin. The theme of his dis
course was based upon the text: 1.-THE world
passeth away, and the lust thereof but he that
doeth the will of God abideth forever. ~ john
il, IL. He dwelt at some length upon the worlds
destruction by fire, as affirmed, he claimed ny
the Scriptures and by science. The ungodly
who have the lust for wealth and the lust founded
in the passions will all perish, while those who
do the will of God shall abide forever 1t is
not reserved for the few great men
and women of earth to do the will
of God, but for the mothers wives, hus-
bands and children. Job and Paul had looked
with unbroken faith to this eternal life promised
those who do the will of God, and Paul had
affirmed that Though the house of this eternal
tabernacle were dissolved, we have building of
God.
