Thus musing he strobe along at a rapid
gait, feeling positive pleasure in the ex-
ercise. By and by he became conscious
that some one was following him. He
crossed the street to determine this; the
person he suspected crossed also. He
slackened his pace; a tall, slim figure
passed him, and he thought he was
mistaken as he saw it disappear in the
darkness.
So he forged ahead. Shortly he found
the person was behind him again.
He was now approaching fashionable
drinking saloon, and he determined to
stop there and see what his follower
would do.
He did so, and met an acquaintance
with whom he went to the bar.
Immediately the door opened and a
tall, slim man entered. 1t was the per-
son who had followed him.
Holbrook observed him closely through
the glass behind the bar, while chatting
with his acquaintance.
The tall, slim man was by no means
young-evidently 60 or 60 years of age;
his hair was white, his face well scanned
with wrinkles. He was clad in respect
able black, and was upright in carriage.
Holbrook thought he might have been
the man Fountain disguised to follow
him, and then dismissed the idea as an
absurdity and attribrted it to his heated
imagination.
a glance at the hand the person laid
on the bar, which Holbrook could regard
at short range without turning, such was
his position, confirmed his idea of its alb
surdity. 1t was Enthusiastically the hand
of an aged person; there could be no

Presently the old man dropped a piece

pick it up he struck HOlbrooll in the

AN EXCESS OF PRAYER.

An Albany preacher, who understood
that he had been selected to deliver the
opening prayer at the Republican state
convention at Saratoga last week, had
it printed and distributed copies of it
among the delegates in advance, but
the managers finally gave the duty to
another and claimed that they got the
benefit of two prayers. But it was
shabby treatment of the first preacher,
and it is probable that he neutralized it
with a counter effort. Still, two pray
ers for a collection of New York Re-
publican politicians cannot be pre-
sumed excessive. The question, how
ever, is raised whether printed prayer.
not delivered, counts. In this case the
copies were gathered up and pocketed
before the official precation was pro-
nouneed. In some denominations. once
priest always priest is the theory.

always a prayer. or can it be recalled?

Peace and Good Will.

'.Through obedience to knowledge" is
the pathway to Christianity.
Rev. Marion d. Shutter spoke at the
Church of the Redeemer from the text:
IF any man willeth to do his will he
shall know of the teaching, whether it
be of God or whetherI speak of N.Y.
self."-John vii, II.
He said: "The great elements of the
gospel of peace and good will may be
verified by honest experiment. A man
may speculate till the stars grow old,
and then end in uncertainty; but if he
is content to come down upon the earth
to share the joys and sorr0ws of
his fellowmen, to take moment
by moment the homely tasks of
life, to be kind and. just and
honest, to follow the little ray of sun
light that lights him to his humble
duty, he will at length know some of
the things that make for his peace. 1t
is well for us to recognize our limita-
tons. Jesus does not mean to tell us
that we shall know all about God. 1t is
still true that no one by searching caa
find Him ont unto perfection He does
not tell US we shall know all about the
future, but that we may have eternal
life abiding in us now Not such
knowledge as shall crafty the thirst of
the curious, but that which shall he a
help to the earnest. Love your enc
mics; bless them that curse you; what
soever We would that men should do
unto you, do ye also even unto them.'
OF these teachings we may know
whether they be divine or nOtl The
outward history and the vital truth are
distinct and separate. In weighing tes-
timony, in searching history, in deal

such expense as to reduce the price of
sugar TO the consumers. The beet
is the hopeful source of the
future sugar supply.1 Ithas been tested
and developed into profitable industry
in Germany and France, and. it is be-
lieved, on the Pacific coast. SPRECKLEs
has made decided success with it in
California. His son says he made 5000
tons last year, and is so well satisfied
with it that he has ordered machinery
for ten plants. He pays from 81 TO 80 a
ton for the beets. The farmers of Mill
nesota, Dakota and neIghboring states
could ask nothing better than to grow
beets at such figures. They would find
ii far more profitable than any of their
present products. If the beetS they can
produce so easily will answer the re-
quirements of the sugar makers, there
is no limit to the extent to which the
manufacture could be carried. 1t is the

BEET SUGAR.

The farther Secretary RUsK got from
Kansas the less sanguiue he seemed
over the sorghum sugar experiments.
At Washington he was not at all con-
fdent that this plant would be the fut-
ure great supply of the saceharine
clement. 1t is not question as to
whethera good article of sugar can be
made from the syrup. but as to the pos
sibility of its being made so cheaply as
to become profitable production. AT
the best but a limited territory is
adapted to it. and only the most favor
able conditions are essential. Govern
ment bounties are apparently requisite
to induce private capital TO engage in
it. The Northwest has small interest
in experiments with sorghum. There
is no probability that it can be made at

TIE PENSION CRAZE.

1t is not recalled just how many pen
si0ners there are from the Revolution
airy war and the war of 1912, but there
are enough to show that pensions are
far ahead of any elixir in promoting
longevity. The Mexican war affords a
remarkable evidence of this. When the
last pension bill was passed the war had
been over forty years, and it was esti-
mated that of the 10000 men engaged in
it not over 1900 were still living. but
there have already 21,29O soldiers and
7.I42 widows filed pension claims. Most
of these are from the class known as
picnic soldiers. who enlisted after hos
tilities had ceased and before the terms
of peace had been arranged. Gen.
TRUMBULI., in figuring over the matter,
says: EVERY one of these survivors is
compelled to lead nine comrades under
the flag of booty to the CORY field of
pensions"

Woman's inhumanity to woman is a
variation from the old form that is con-
coded by many of the sex to be very
large factor in the mourning that comes
to countless thousands. Gentle hands
could brush away clouds and lift bur-
dens that would make life brighter and
easier to other women. An Illustrative
incident is located in Boston. A statue
was to be erected to some man who had
died and was still remembered. Sealed
bids were invited from all the artificers
in stone and marble. Specimens of
their work were prese nted, and one
was selected as much the best. In
opening the envelopes it was found that
the sculptor was woman. The men
were willing to let the decision stand;
but the other women, for reasons that
may be understood by women, insisted
that the honor should not be given to
woman, and the decision was reversed.

Unsfrune Harm.

Admirers of Mrs. ELLA WHEELER
WILCOX's poetry will regret that its
production has caused such strain
that she is compelled to confine herself
to prose. This is to be regretted also
from the fact that one of the great needs
of the world is more poetry. The de-
mand always exceeds the supply. The
young people with mellowness about
the heart and head are quite generally
willing to undergo the Strain,and young
ladies in the elementary stages of COM
mon school education test their energies
in this way without excessive tension.
There is no disparagement of the WILL
cox poetry, but sympathy with its au-
thor in the wasting mental travail.
Still, it is probably better that the world
should hunger little than that any
mental organism should be perilously
OvertaXed in its production. ELLA is
hardly less charming in prose, and it is
pleasant to believe that it causes her no
mental effort.
