he Thou Faithful.

1t is an interesting and instructive
fact that Jesus Christ, ''the pures. of
the mighty and the mightiest of the
pure" as Jean Paul Richter called Him,
began life at zero. AS His cradle was a
manger, so His boyhood home was a
carpenter shop. His environment for
thirty years was homely and lowly in
the extreme. Yet in this environment
the loftiest and divinest soul the world
has known was trained for sacrifice and
service. He went about His Fathers
business" just as much then as He did
later-not so conspicuously, but just as
really. Duty is relative. Obscure
service fits for illustrious service. Work
is great or small not as it is viewed
from earth, but from Heaven. Our
Fathers business" is always the duty
that is nearest. Oftener than other
wise it is found in the family circle, in
the workshop, and in what men call the
realm of the trivial-not the frivolous.
Be thou faithful unto death where thou
art, and thou shalt have crown of life

Declaration of Purposes.

Whereas the general condition of our coun.
try imreratvey demands unity of action on
the part of the abnring classes, reformation
and economy and the dissemination of prn-
Cipes best calculated 10 encourage and foster
agricultural aud mechanical pursuits, en-
couragng the toiling mussos leading them
in the road TO prosperity, and providing
,ust and fair remuneration for labor a just
exchange for our commodities. and the best
means OF securing to the laborng classes the
greatest amount or good; we hold 10 the
principle thar oil mOnopoics are dangerous
to the best interests Of our country, tending
TO enslave free people and subvcrt and
finally overthrow the great principles pur-
chased by the fathers of American liberty.
We therefore aAo!t the following as our
declaration OF principles:
l. To LABOR for the educ ltion of the agricul-
tural cas9es in the science of economical
government, in Il strictly nOnpartisan spirit
aud bring about more pet feet union OF said
classes
2 That we dem md equal rights to all, and
special favorS to none.
g. TO endorse the motto: "In all things
essential. urityi and in all things charity.
l. To develop bcttcr state mentally,
morally, socially and financially.
b. To constantly strive to secure entire har-
nony ani good will 10 all mankind and
brotherly love among ourselves.
g. To suppress personal, local, sectional
Bnd national prcjudices, all unhealthy rivalry
and all selfish ambition.
T. Tho brightest jewels which 1t garners,
are the tears of tho widows and orphans, and
Its imperative commands are to visit the
homes where Iacerited hearts are bleeding;
to sssuage the suffering of Il brother or
sister; bury the dead, care tor the widows
and educate the orphans; TO exercise charity
towards ali offenders; to construe words and
deeds in their most fayorRbly lighr. granting
honesty of purpose and good intentions to
others aud to protect tho principles of the
Farmers Alliance and Industrial Union until
Death. Its laws are reason and equity; its
cardinal doctrines inspire purity of thought
and life, its intention is: ION earth, peace
and good will to man."

Mans Idols,

Mankind idoliZe their great deliverers
The Jews esteem Moses, the grandest
and best of heroes. The Swiss crown
William Tell and make him king Of
hearts. We Americans vcnerate Oul
fearless Washington first in war
first in peace and first in the hearts of
his countrymen."
But the greatest of deliverers is Jesus
Christ. He delivers from sin and from
death. He gives us a new initiative.
He brings light and immortality to
life'-sets a blazing sun in the dark
mouth of the grave.
How? Meritoriously, by His sacrifice:
THE blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us
from all sim" Instrumentality. by His
word: II have begOtten you through
the Gospel" Efficiently, by His spirit;
For the Spirit takes of the things of
Jesus and shows them to us, and changes
us into His image.
No wonder infdels and atheists feel
compelled to join in the chorus which
acclaims Him and often outvie His dis
ciples in their expressions of wonder
and praise. Peasant-King, this I'm
schooled Wisdom, this Victim-Con-
queror, who with His pierced hand has
new-modeled the map of human
thought and conduct and diverted his
tory into unprecedented channels-who
would not adore and serve such Divine
Man?-St. Louis Republic.

Trust in God,

Trust ~ God, in JOY and in grief, in
health and in sickness, in youth and III
age, in prosperity and in adversely, in
life and in death. That is no trust at
all which is felt only when things are
favorable. Any coward is brave in day
light The clumsiest Chinese junk will
float on a halcyon sea. Strong charac-
ters are made in adverse circumstances,
as brave men are brave in the dark and
as seamanship is shown and tested in
stormy weather. 1t has been well said
that it took the prosecutions of Marcus
Aurclius to develop Polycarp and JUS
tin Martyr. 1t took all the hostilitles
against the Scotch Covenanters and the
fury of Lord Claverhouse to develop
James Rennick and HuGh McKail. 1t
took Valley Forge to develop Washing
ton. Every strong-featured character
in history is child of trouble-a stormy
petrol.
Trust God. All things will then work
together for your good. Nothing will
be against you. Don't desire a soft
berth. Dawdlers seek soft berths
Manakins Shrek from pain and fly from
danger. Men face, and by facing con-
quer peril The poisons are the best
medicines. The most terrific agents in
nature-tre, water, steam, electricity
are the noblcst benefactOrs of the hu-
man race. Trust God. lie is your Fa-
ther. lie reigns lie means to school
and discipline your experiences, as the
athlete is hardened by gymnastics
Trust in the Lord and do good: so shalt
thou dwell in the land, and verify. thou
shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the
Lord; and He shall give thee the desire
of thine heart. st. Louis Republic.

Murderer BensOn's Effort to Escape Dis
covered In Time.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Dec 10.-C. A.
Benson, under sentence of death here
for the mrder of Mrs. Teresa Nett.
man, made an unsuccessful attempt to
escape from Jail last night He had
fixed up dummy that bore remark
able resemblance to a man and placed
it in his bed while he was hid in the
cell of another prisoLer who was to es-
cape with him. 1t was only by acci-
dent that the scheme was discovered.
The cells are all locked by lever
from the outside. Last evening Jailer
Pickens tried to lock them, but the
lever would not work. He looked in
and saw that the door of Benson's cell
was not closed. He called to Benson
to close it but there was no response.
He called again and was told by one
of the prisoners that Benson was
asleep. The jailor then went to the
cell and then it was that he discovered
the ruse.
When he found that his trick had
been discovered, Benson came running
to the jailer and pretended that it was
a joke, but it is not so looked upon in
the Jail. The sheriff and jailer believe
that it was the intention to attempt an
escape and that it was only his failure
to close the cell door that prevented a
further attempt being made.

and one of the players was rendered
noticeable By the loss of an eye. The
game progressed quietly for some time,

one of the gentlemen interested drew
his pistol and placed it on the table.

lustration of our personal feelings it
may be stated that Mr.. John Nc.
Caddon, Bailey's father-in-law, is
now regularly in our employ. He
wrote the Sells Brothers a letter
from Decatur, Illinois, stating
that he was destitute and
asking for a position, and know

him one. and he is now nicely situa-
ted with our advance. Assuredly
that does not look much like personal

and even in places where we were at
great disadvantage through the far
mers being unusually busy. We tri-
umphed at Defiance, Toledo and Fl.
Wayne and the press and people &C
corded us enthusiastic praise. We are
right, the public is with US and we
shall keep moving straight on to VIC
tory. Such will be the result here.
Ours is now the oldest established en-.
terprise of the kind under one contin-
uous management in the world. For
twenty years it has treated every one
fairly, generously and kindly. 1t has
steadily grown in magnitude and pop
ularity. But while it holds front rank
it has no desire to injure other shows,

that one of the teachers who has stood
near the top all the time has been
soliciting votes for herself and that
there is favoriteism being shown in
the matter which will make her the
winner, no matter who may be her
opponent.
This is false. while it is permissible
for any one of the teachers to solicit
votes if she chooses and there is moth
ing to prevent her, yet everything is
being conducted in perfectly fair
manner and one teacher has as much
of a chance as another. 1t now re-
mains for friends to come forward
and do their best and give each one
the knowledge that even if she should
lose the excursion she is popular in
large degree.
The contest has been an interesting
one ever since it first began, the in
terest is increasing every day aud it
promises before being decided to bes
come an exciting cause for work a.
