''The Wire Fence Man. -

The 'wire fence man" is . now
swindler working tho farmers. His
modus opersndi is thus described: He
wants the privilege Of exhibiting his
wire fence stretcher machine to farm
ers in your township on your farm. and
Tor which privilege he will build you
thirty or forty rods of good fence for
exhibition. and al that he asks of you
is to board him, 60 after the machine
at the nearest depot, and pay the
charges, not to exceed $S, for the fence
all set up where you want it. In order
to have all satisfactory, and as war
rant Of the farmers good intentions. he
requires him to sign written contract
on postal card, which no mails to his
partner, and which proves to be an
order for the machine, price 5000,
worth about 1926. After the machine
comes a new man turns up with his
postal order for the machine and
requires payment of 5000 as per agree
ment on card. He claims to be at
torney for the company and threatens
to sue in the United States Court at

A Short Sermon.

There are times when you are
brought to realize that you stand on
the shores ofmysterious cternity-when
you can hear the tapping at your feet
of the waves which roll across the sea
so boundless that mortal eye has never
reached the farther shore 1t is when
you have met some good friend on the
street, given him friendly grip, and
heard him say that he hasn't felt SO
we'll in years-the words hardly cold
upon his lips before he throws up his
arms and sinks to the wall as dead as il
bullet had entered his brain. The
doctors call it case of heart disease.
and those who did not pass that way
read of it to forget it in an hour. To
you, who even held his hand as the
swift messenger came. there is some,
thing never to be fsrgotten-a sermon
such as no divine can ever preach. -

Dynamite Guns.

The last congress made an appropri.
alton to purchase q ship which would
have high rate of speed. and which
would be armed by dynamite guns.
Should We succeed in procuring such q
vessel. it might secure US against naval
attack. even though We have no fortif.
cations. Lieutenant Zalinski. in New
York harbor, demonstrated, BY actual
experiment, the possibility of safely dis
charging dynamite shells Of any size,
through the use Of compressed air for
propelling them. In this case it was
proved that projectiles. containing =
hundred pounds Of explosive material.
can be expelled from pnuematic gun
tube. with great accuracy in range. tho
ssell exploding on striking the water,
or any other substance. There is no
reason why five hundred pounds could
not be used as safely as one hundred
pounds. A swift cruiser, armed with
these guns and shells. might be terro,
to an attacking feet, for no other ma.
ton has as yet utilized the dynamite
gun. 1t is curious that we have been
the first to originate war-like inven.
tions; the Dahlgren gun was the first Of
the great ordnance attempted by any
nation. But this mighty projectile. as
we thought it, is nero baby to the
giant ordnance of Great Britain and the
continental nations. We first tested a
monitor, which was copied, and resulted d
in the creation of new class of iron.
clads in all the foreign navies. A sue.
cessful dynamite gun. or guns, or a
swift cruiser, also, would be initiated
and surpassed by the French, English
and Germans. But what q pity it is
that human ingenuity should be wasted
on these death-dealing missiles! Surely
the day will arrive. when, by general
consent. wars will come to an end. =
