pYRR BEING KILLED OUT.

DERR BEING KILLED OUT.
az can see," continued the Senator re-
flectively, THAT the number Of deer has
been remarkably reduced in the last ten
wears. even noticed the difference on
nv recent hunt. 1t is safe to say that
there are not half 80 many to be found
now 10 ten years ago. Civilization and
constant hunting are driving them ont OF
existence. The means OF approach to
the deer country are now very much
improved, and rs consequence the
game is being killed Off More or less
timbering has been done also, aud IN
this way many deer-haunts have been
broken up. In the white-pine region
especially the woods have been Trimmed
20 that deer can no longer find home in
them. They have been forced into The
wild ranges, which have so far resisted
encroachment.
BEST COUNTIES FoR HUNTING.
1.-The best places to look for deer now
are thinly populated regions. such as
Webster, Nicholas. and Greenbrier coun-
ties, in our State. In PendletoD, Hamp-
shire, Hardie, Randolph, and Pocahontas
good hunting can still be had. The
mountains abound also in pheasants and
squirrels. The streams were once full
Of trout but there are not so many
now.
TIE SENATOR'S RECENT TRIP.
Senator Kenna has Just returned to
Washington from ten days expedition
after deer in Bath county, Virginia,
along the dividing line from Greenbrier
county, in West Virginia. He hunted III
company with Messrs j. II. Van buren,,
Isham Mullins, William Mullins. and
Wayne Clay, neighbors Of his IN
Charleston, Kanawha county. Fleet
Porterield, a coiored man who has ac-
companied the Senator on hunting trips
for fifteen years. and who takes care OF
his dogs, also went along. The party
camped out during the trip, and the re-
suit OF their sport was eight deer. Per
sons who hunted with them killed four
more. The Senator modestly says his
luck was fairly good.

Anthracite coal Of a high grade has
been found in Alma, Kansas, at a
depth of about |, 900 feet. The dis
covery was made by means of a dia-
mOnd drill, and the "core" which was
brought up showed the vein to be a
workable seam nearly 6 feet thick.
A large shaft, which has already
reached to the depth of nearly 500
feet, is being sunk, and the predic-
ton is made that, before many
months, the West will get its supply
of anthracite from Kansas, and be-
come independent of the East in this
respect. 1t is to be hoped that this
may prove true, as the Western de-
mand has had much to do with keep
ing up the price of coal in the East

Christ Forgiving Sin.

Monday Club Sermons.
In this day there is more need
than ever to assert the first truth,
that God can forgive sin. Science is
a teacher much honored now, and
science says that it is as impossible
morally as physically to put things
back where they were before, to re-
store sinful heart is as impossible as
to make whole broken shell. At
such feet has grown up a modern re-
ligion whose god is fate, whose hope
is dust for the body and nothingness
for the soul, whose heaven is but to
be an influence in others lives. The
sect is not large, but skillful ofspeech
in philosophy, poetry, fiction. One
of them speaks through the hero of a
tale: 81 hate that talk of people as
if there was a way of making amends
for everything. They'd more need
to see as the wrong they do can new
er be altered. It's we'll we should
feel that life's reckoning we can't
make twice over; there's no real
making amends in this world, any
more than you can mend a wrong
subtraction by doing your addition
right" And the age may need this
lesson. we have been guilty of
making sin too slight and punish
ment too soft. at is good"-sing
the old Eumenides in Kschylus-
"that fear should sit as the guardian
of the soul, forcing it into wisdom

ening shadow in their hearts under
the full sunshine; else how should
they learn to revere the right p"
True, but God has thought it also
good to give his only begotten Son,
that whatsoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlast>
ing life. Far diviner is the message
of one Of our own novelists in "The
Scarlet Letter." where the badge of
sin and shame becomes the charmed
symbol of pure and helpful life.
Nature knows nothing of forgive
ness; science and conscience as we'll
assure us it is impossible. They
speak for their own realms, and tru-
ly. But, when we were yet with>
out strength, in due time Christ died
for the ungodly." How God takes
care of the disaster wrought by our
sins is one of the hidden things.
That he will blot out our transgres-
sion as thick cloud vanishes in the
sun, is his radient promise. 1t is a
forgiveness which not only enables
us to enter heaven, it is heaven. or
else, for our race, there were no
heaven. God can forgive sins, and
God alone; and this Jesus standing
here is God with us forgiving sins
and sending penitents away praising
with song that angels could not
sing.

Aunt Maria's Afterwards.

Congregatlonalist
1t was years ago that March, when
few days of springlike airs swelled
the buds on the naples, sent small
green shoots from the daffodils, and
set us girls planning about spring
hats. Cousin Louise and l were to
go into the city tomorrow on a shop
ping expedition so my sister and 1
ran across the street to Aunt Maria's
to consult with our cousins, the 10th.
er girls"
We always drifted into Grandma's
room. 1t was the largest, pleasant
est room in the house, and Grandma
was so bright and CHEEKY we loved to
be with her. She sat by that morn
ing, occasionally putting In her quiet
word, while we went deep into the
subject of straWs and bonnets and leg
horns, high crowns, rolling brims,
tips, plumes, ribbons, etc. 1t was all
settled at last that Louise, being fair,
should get a pale blue, shirred-like
bonnet, and cousin Clara a white
Grape one with pink roses. Sister
Ruth's bonnet was to be like herself,
quiet and sweet-a fine straw with a
delicate lace and heliOtrOpes; while
mine, all agreed, should be hat with
rolling brim, faced with black velvet,
and glowing with scarlet peoples.
There was no need of so much clatter
and consultation, however, for each,
after receiving advice, resolved to
provide herself with the identical
head-gear she had in her mind for
the last month.
After we had somewhat subsidized,
Grandma got up and went to her
bureau drawer.
81 guess I'll have my hat tended
to while you're about it," she said,
as she lifted it out. "I've worn it Just
five years now. Isn't it getting a lit
tie sort O. rusty? ,"
"Grandma ought to have a new
bonnet, mother" said Louise. zone
of these fine black NeapOlitans
trimmed with black lace would be
lovely for her."
Aunt Maria took cher mothers
straw bonnet and turned it about on
her head, inspecting it critically,
thinking, meanwhile, that the girls
hats were all to be rather expensive
this season, and that it was time to
retrench somewhere. What great
difference did it make about an old
lady's bonnet anyway, so that it was
comfortable, she went out so little.
Nonsense, Louise !" Aunt Maria
said at last. "This bonnet is Just as
good as it ever was"
80, l don't think / need one,''
Grandma said meekly. "That would
be extravagant; but l thought new
border might be put on, and maybe a
new pair of strings"
81 don't see anything the matter
with the border" said Aunt Maria in
a decided tone.
"The strings can be sponged and
irOned, and they will look as well as
ever"
So saying she handed it back to
Grandma, and turned to give further
commissions for the city. Ruth told
me afterwards that she felt like say.
