An Eastern paper tells the following about
the application Of text taken by coiored
preacher who was not over-educated. The
text was 81. Paul's epistle to the Ephesians,
nounciug that it was from "dat part Of the
scriptures where Paul piuts de pissol to de
Phesians" Now teere is nothing to laugh
at about that. That is exactly what Paul
did do. He pointed that pistol at the Ephes-
ians aud fred it; aud talk about the shot at
Lexi, gton which went sounding around the
world, that shot of Pauls has been ringing
round the world, for eighteen hundred yesrs
and more. 1t has been heard by many a
man in full health; it has been heard by
many a man when his ears are becoming
dulled to ether sounds of this world That
was big shot of st. Paul's. 1t was what
might be called q Krupp gun shot. 1t was
fired in way that caused it to overcome
gravitation, and its goes roaring round the
world and will continue to circle round the
world as long rs civilized man shall exit
1t was very vital shot. 1t was one of the
shells which WAS exploded long ago in the
magazine of ignorance which filed the earth
and the roar Of it cotinurs and will continue
until the great mystery shall be finally

The future belong. to the irrigated farmer


Times can never be 80 bad that he cannot at
least makes living from his sure acres.
When times arc good his pro ducts will sell
in the market over the head of the rain belt

tens on the adversely of others. He farms
a few acres intensely and raises the crops
that pays best. He IS thousand times bet
ter off than his brother of the corn belt, who
gets no prices when crops are good, and no
crops when prices are good. When man
ha. good soil pienty of sunshine, and can
control his water supply, no power on earth
prevent his certain and even prosperity.
And the Western farmer has been learning
these lessons very rapidly of late. Irrigated
land steadily rising in value, and non-irrigat-
ed lands must go dswnin proportion. The
agriculture of ancient Egypt is the agricult-

vastly improved, but the central idea--that
control of water is essential to perfect farm

Tho Ancient Order OF United Work.
mems twenty-third anniversary was
worthily celebrated in Wheeling yes
tcrday. Welcome Lodges hall, in the
McLain building, was filled with men,
bers OF the order who had gathered for
tho occasion, about one hundred and
scventy.livc being present. The speak.
ing was intorspcrsed with vocal and in
strumental selections, and moro inter-
esting programme could not well have
been devised. Master Workman Thomas
Cameron delivered the opening address,
and in few words explained the object
OF tho gathering. A piano solo, per-
formed by Brother Alfred Shcrratt, was
followed by n quartcttc, in which
Brothers Ankle, Iulaui, Clemens and
Stewart took part. Brother Clemens
then sang vocal solo. All the selec-
tions were greeted with applause.
Brother Fullerton delivered the ami
versary address, and dwelt upon the
magnificent showing the order had made
in the twcnty-thrce years of its exist
cncc, and the great amount OF good done
by it. Brother Xulaui sang bass solo,
and Brother Roman Dobler made few
remarks.
The violin and banjo duet, performed
by Brother Freeze and his son, was well
received, and was followed by practi-
cHl talk by Brother Dornblascr. Brother
Ankle sang 4 solo, and was followed by
Brother Brcnnersrcuthcr IN talk OF n
reminiscent nature. The quartette was
again called on, the proceedings closed
with the presentation OF the prize gavels
which Welcome lodge had won, having
shown the greatest increase in member
ship over all other lodges in the juris-
diction OF Pennsylvania. Brother Hath
away made Representation, and Brother
McCluskey responded happily on behalf
OF the lodge.
When the programme was completed
the lodge adjourned to Charles L. Van
keurens restaurant. Here excellent
preparations had been made for feed
ing the large crowd, and the banquet
was discussed with appropriate vigor.
Along the entire length Of the dining
room were two tables, with m aisle be-
tween. Though the room was taxed to
its utmost capacity and not much space
was lett, the service was perfect. Over
IN hour was spent at the table. At the
conclusion Brother McCluskcy re-
spondcd to the toast, 'The Ancient
Order OF United Workmcn," and re-
ferred to the fact that the order was the
first OF the beneficial orders to make
provision for the family OF deceased
member. Brother Mansberger re-
sponded to the toast, Our Wives" and
amid the roars OF laug evoked by his
sallies the evenings entertainment
