Obedience.

How d1mcult 1t 1S for the natural
heart to realize, or believe, that 1t is
for its own good always 10 obey God in
every thing! We are strongly inclined
to think that obedience to our own
conceptions Of what is right and proper
is good for us--indeed, is really best
for us. There are some things which
God commands us to do that we read
lily assent to as being for our good.
But there are other things which we
hesitate to accept as being really essen-
tial for our good. We incline to pur-
sue an eclectic course. - We choose that
which seems to promise Vs good, and
those things which appear fnconvenient
and unnecessary we discard. Obedience
to some of Gods commands appears to
involve too much trouble to be for our
certain good. 1t may lead US to heavy
cross-bearing and painful peril and
deep disappointment and immense per-
sonal discomfort; and 90 we demur and
debate the chances of possible good to
ourselves But our thoughts and ways
are always wrong, and, therefore, pro-
ductive of harm to us If they do not
strictly conform to the thoughts and
ways of God. There is no safety out
side of following the commands Of God.
Human expediency is not to usurp the
place of the Divine counsel and COM
mand. Whatever God tells us to do,
and we do in the spirit and manner
which He requires, will result in our
good always. 1t may not always seem
SO to us at first. Indeed, IL may ap-
pear to be for our i'll, instead Of good;
but God, who sees the end from the be-
ginning, knows what isfor our good.
and commando nothing which is not
for our good. The true Christian will
try and remember this and obey.--.

CARP PONDS.

Best Advantage and at Small Cost.
The cultivation of carp is of sufficient
Importance to fully warrant the con-
struction of ponds for the purpose.
But there already exist, on many farms,
ponds used for the collection of ice and
for watering live stock, which could be
converted into carp ponds at nominal
cost. There are also many hollows
and depressions in the land that, by
throwing up breastwork, could be
made to answer the purpose admira-
bly,. 1t is very desirable ON several ac-
counts to have your pond SO you can
draw the water off any time you wish,
so the fish can be sorted and for de-
stroying the enemies to carp. By
draining the ponds once year the in
truders can be removed. The best de-
vice to put in pond to drain 1t, is a
cast-iron pipe (they are the cheapest)
six or more inches, according to the
size Of your pond; get it long enough to
60 clear through your dam and pro-
ject about two or three feet at each
end. Make large wooden plug,
drive it in the pipe on the inside Of
the dam, and when you want to drain
your pond, get pole and drive the
plug out of the pipe. When the pond
is dry you can drive it in again. sg1d
Never build pond where large
stream of water flows through it, be-
cause it is liable to break your dam and
wash all the spawn and small fish
away. when there is a great amount Of
rainfall. Build beside such a stream
and let the water in at the upper end
of the pond, through tile with net
ting over it so other kinds of fish can
not get in with the carp or they will
mix and be valueless in little while.
In building a breast, clay soil il the
best, but other soil will do. After you
have decided where to build your dam,
get scraper, such ss you use in work.

best, as you can handle it better. Plow

the sod and soil to the outside, then
plow again, and then scrape till your

it will not freeze out as quick as other
kinds will, and when it is in bloom its
beauty alone will pay you for your
work without the profit ON the fish.
When you make an overflow, get a
pipe and put an elbow on it, The
pipe should be large enough to carry
the waste water of. Put the long end
Of the pipe in your pond and the short
end through the dam. 1t will draw the
cold water from the bottom Of the
pond instead Of warm water from the

Arrested.

A. Crumbaugh, Probate Judge of
Ford county, was arrested on Friday
last, the warrant for his arrest having
been sworn out before Squire Hoover,
of Cimarron township. Judge Crum-
baugh is charged with fraud in Office,
the charge consisting Of alleged fraud
ulent sales in school lands. A short
time ago the ten quarter sections of
school lands, alleged to have been fraud
ulently sold, were recovered by the
county. suit having been made to set
aside the sale. The purchases had
been made by H. F. Friend, of Wichita,
and by HIM sold to other parties. It is
alleged that the Probate Judge of Ford
county connived at the fraudulent
transaction. We forbear comment, the
trial of the accused will take place be-
fore Judge Hoover, at Cimarron, on
Monday next. There are ten counts
made against Judge Crumbaugh. The
law makes penalty of one year con-
finement in the county Jail for each
count proven. The arrest of the Pro-
bate judge was on the complaint of
John Groeudyke, County Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction. Quo war
ranto proceedings have been commenc-
ed In the Supreme Court to GUST Judge
Crumbaugh from the Office he holds.
The quo warranto will be heard on the
Oath of July.
