Joshua met the enemy and pressed on
him, and they fought hot and heavy
all day long, and finally, when Joshua
saw the sun going down on him and
said, ''LOrd God, if you will put the
brakes on the old sun and stop her
there two or three hours, III get vic
last forever" God told the old sun TO
log back on the dial plate and "Don't
you move an inch till Joshua gets this
victory" and Joshua went into the
battle, and he pushed the battle until
he secured victory that has made him
famous down through the generations
to the present hour. That cOnsecrated
Christian woman that God gave me for
a wife knew what liquor would do for
the home. She knew how it had de-
bauched her husband and blighted her
life, and she said, ''DOn't ever hold up
on it," and she said, eff they put dyn-
amite under our home, would as soon
go to heaven by the dynamite route as

The TwinkIing of an Eye.

The photograph shall be as nearly
instantaneous" as possible. Every
thing is ready. Click The artificial
eyelid has opened and shut. What
has it seen in that instant of time If
anything is i'm motion, it has been per-
ceived in that fragment of a second as
if mOtionless. Men walking along the
street are pictured with uplifted feet.
A trotting horse may be caught with
all of it's four legs in the air, viewed
Just at the moment when he was clear
of the ground. A man leaping with a
high pole may be pictured in mid-air,
precisely in the position in which he
appears at the highest altitude. Mo-
ton seems rest. But this IS not the
most wonderful of its powers. Far be-
yOnd the keenness of human vision is
its range of sight. If the light is good,
this sensitive plate of glass will have
recorded and discerned Il thousand up
lifted faces as perfectly as the human
eye perceives the features of a single
cOuntenanee. Every expression of joy
or sorrow, every popularity of dress
or attitude, the leaves of a forest OIL
the grass by the wayside, will have
been seen and delineated and retained
perfectly in far less than the briefest
possible twinkling of a human eye.

August Butter.

We are often told that June and July
butter is prime when August butter
fails then it grows better in Septem-
Der, and so on. Why is June and July
butter better than August butter? Be-
cause the cows have gone in the fresh
field and have had pure grass in album
dance. The flow of milk is increased,
and we readily churn butter from it in
about One-half the time in July that is
required in the Winter time or in 9th
eT seasons. This is because of the June
grass. The last of July the feed be-
gins to fail. June grass has become
too ripe, and something else, not us
good, must take its place. The dairy
man should have a crop of winter rye,
and feed that with his corn meal, and
carry it through the month of August
Cows fail in milk more in the month of
August than in any other part of the
season. In the month of September
the cattle are allowed to sweep over
the meadows and around the corners of
the fences where the moving machine
did not reach. The remedy is to feed
corn meal during the month of August.
1t would cost IL tTitle over one cent per
pound for feed and extra trouble, but
the butter yield would be kept up. If
the rye gets to pc before August have
a crop of clover for the cattle. When
the rye gets nicely started, cut it with
IL moving machine, and second crop
will soon he ready DR.. Crafts, at

Sam Jones on Temperance.

Well, now, brethren, III say this to
you: we never would let politics mix
up with the temperance cause and pro-
hibitiOn movement in the South. We
Just mix prohibition with politics. Do
you get the ideaR [Laughter.l Here,
instead of letting candidate ride into
power on us, we harnessed up some
reform democrat or republican who
had been converted and joined the pro-
hibitiOn party, and we rode him into
poweOr' and riding beats walking
there's no doubt about that. Loud
laughter. You go down in Georgia
now, and fellow announces himself
for the Legislature, or for judge, or any
thing. About the first line under his
name he says: 81 am square out on
prohibition question:" 81 stand square
on that ISSUE" and | tell you all to-
day that prohibition mixed with poll
tics will help politics; but, God bless
You, don't you put any politics in your
prohibition. If you do, you are gone.
Laughter You see put sugar in
my coffee to help my coffee; but if you
put your coffee in your sugar, your
sugar is ruined. Renewed laughter
When you go to vote against whis-
key, you just vote the plain issue,
straight out, and then when we can
poll enough Votes on that question to
show the politicians that we mean bus
mess, the next thing you hear, the poll
ticians will do anything you want done.
That's fact. But you go now and try
to run in your prohibition candidate.
Why, every democrat in this cOuntry's
got his sleeves rolled up ready for the
fight, and the republicans have got
their sleeves rolled up, and they are
ready for the fight. I'll tell you just
exactly how the two parties stand to-
day. The democratic party is a-strad
die of barrel of whiskey, and the re-
publican party a straddle beer keg.
That's fact; and it's just nip and
tuck now which is going to get into the
presidency every four years-whether
the beer keg will get in or the whiskey
barrel. You see, now, | would pray.
,"Great God, give New England grit ;
give her courage to stand up like men
gu this issue" [Applause.l That lit
tie Malone of Virginia, he only weighs
about % pounds, and some fellow ask
ed him what he weighed. He said,
al only weigh % pounds, but 90 pounds

teri Well, now, that is just what we
need-abOut % per cent of back bone
when we go into fight like this
Brethren, if there is anything l despise
il is a coward. A man says, ~ am go
ing to take no sides" You little pup
py, yOui l would have called you a
dog and have done with it, but you
aint grown yet. Laughter. 'I'n
not going to take any sidesr" Well
now I'll say this: this is an issue upon
which every man must make decision
every true man. If you have n little
light cotton string in your back, with
rib or two knit to it, and call that
your backbone, yOu won't. Great
laughter.
| say another thing. In every con.
quest of morals and good government

gamey from head to foot. God himsel
