The exhibition and lecture given by
representatives of the ]. I. Case Plow Co.,
Monday afternoon, called together a
large crowd of farmers. Tests were made
of the draught, depth etc, of the furrow
of a Moline p1ow and the J. 1. Case ia
nous Triumph sulky pillow. Considerable
interest was taken in this by the farm
ers present. The result was entirely
satisfactory, and in favor of the Triumph
sulky pillow, which made a wider and
deeper furrow than the walking plow
with about the same power. Many new
and valuable suggestions were dropped
by Mr.. Kiser in his interesting talk on
plows and blowing. Much interest cen
tered in the pulling of the sulky pillow by
a man in harness. This feat was success
fully and easily accomplished, a furrow
being run some distance six or seven
inches deep and sixteen or eighteen
inches wide. The ''mule" carried a mar
on his back, and a mar rode on the pillow.
Henry Hamilton also performed the act,
showing that there was no special trick
connected with the pulling Of the pillow.
The affair was withal profitable to all
parties concerned.

dertaking begun by Denver Endeavor-
ers. They have opened up. in the base
ment Of the Trinity church Of that city,
an employment bureau, the use Of which
Is free. No commissions are received,
The idea originated with an earnest En-
deayorer, Mr.. E. F. CASTOR. and is car
ried out 10y the volunteer efforts Of va
rious Endeavorers.
Members of the society are always on
hand at the room, one in charge and the
others as assistants. There Is q large
soliciting committee, which reports at
the room places where work is to be
found. Employers Of all kinds are urged
to make use Of this bureau. The bureau
is open for both men and women. and
the hours are from 0to 10 a. III. and from
to 4:30 p. IN.
Here IS very plain. straightforward
and practical way Of helping both poor
and rich. Every large city furnishes
abundant opportunity for such endeav-
ors, and there are few towns SO small
that such bureau would not be helpful
to them. We hope that many unions
and local societies will follow the good
example Of these Denver Eudeavorers.-

How Tramps Regard New ENGLAND.

nv" cramps Regard New England.
The November Century contains an
article written by a young man who dis
suised himself as tramp aud consorted
with tramps for several months He has
this to say of New England from the
tramp's point of view:
New England, as whole, is at present
poor begging territory for those vagabonds
who are not able to dress fairly well Bos-
ton is the beggars metropolis as well as
the New England millio1aire's, and, until
recently, Bughouse Mary's Tramp Home
was as much Boston institution as Ire
mont Temple or the Common. One could
ma there tramps of all grades of intelll-
gence. cleanliness, and manners. And
even IN the streets, have often been able
to pick out "the begging brothers" by the
score from the general crowd
But 1t must not be forgotten that a CITY
offers privileges to beggars which the
rural districts deny, and probably. If the
police authorities were more diligent than
they are now, even Boston could be rid of
the great majority of its worst loafers.
must admit, however, that 1t will be
difficult ever to Danish the entire tramp
tribe, for some of them are exceedingly
clever, and when decenty clad can play
the role OF almost any member Of society
For instance, | irsmped through Con-
necticut aud Rhode Island once with

Both Of u were respectfully dressed, and
according TO my companions suggestion,
We posed a. strolling students, and always
offered 10 pay for our meals and lodging
but the offer was never accepted. Why?
Because the farmers considered them
selves repaid by the interesting accounts
of our travels, and talks about pol-
Itics, etc
My friend was very sharp and keen, and
carried on successful trade in spurious
jewelry with some Of the foolish country
boys, when be was not discussing the
probabilities Of the Presidential election.

England today If respectfully clad. and be
gratuitously entertained wherever | should

One Of the main reasons why Massa-
chusetis is such poor territory for the
usual class Of yagrants is its district-jail
system. In many of these jails the order
and discipline are superb, and work is re-
quircd OF the prisoners-and work is the
last thing 3 real tramp ever means TO
undertake.

gratifying results 10 trampdom from the

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Topic for the Week Beginning Nov. 26
Comment by Rev. $. III. Doyle.

THANKSGIVING SERvICE.-Ps xviii, 10; Ps.
xci!, l5.
Blessed he the Lord, who daily loadeth Us
with benefits.
1t is good thing to show forth thy
loving kindness In tho morning ard thy faith
fulness every night.
In each of these references the daily
aspect of benefits and thanksgiving Is en-
phasized. 1t is well perhaps that this is so.
for while special days of general thanks
giving to God are eininently proper. vet
there is the constant danger in them Of
making this the only time Of our thanks
giving. 1t may supplant the daily graft
tude and thanksgiving that is due to God
from every creature He hath made. Let
US notice, therefore, the two prominent
facts in our references.
1. Daily benefits. Blessed be the Lord
who daily loadeth us with benefits
(Ps. xviii lo). This is the testimony Of
the psalmist that God blesses US daily.
Day by day" the Saviour taught us to
pray for our bread. thus showing that
Gods blessing is necessary upon us
daily. 1t is necessary and it is given.
DAILY the Lord loadeth Us with good
things things for the body, good
things for the sonl. If 1t were not so,
body and soul would perish Let God
withdraw his favor aud his blessings for
one day, and soul and body would per-
ish. At stated periods. such as Thanks
giving day and Christmas, we are much
concerned about the wants Of our fell
lows and provide them with a super
abundance, and then in many cases neg
lect them for months to come. But not
so does God treat Us. Daily and hourly
he supplies us with the blessings Of life
yea, even life itself
,. Daily thanksgiving. 1T is good
thing to give thanks unto the Lord
to show forth thy loving kind
ness in the morning and thy faithfulness
every night" tPs. ScSiii, /, o. The psalm
ist here emphasizes the importance Of
thanking God for His goodness morning
and evening Of every day. Not simply
on the Sabbath, or when one receives
some special token Of His favor, but ev-
cry day-yea, twice a day. This is the
only logical conclusion from daily bene-
fits. Daily benefits necessitate daily
gratitude and Thanksgiving. If we pray
God to day by day provide for our wants,
and He does 81. daily we should thank
Him. Simple ustice demands this much
of us, ami tu neglect or refuse it is the
basest ingrautude.

Christian Endeavor Notes.

During the pas. year the missionary
record of the Galesburg (Ills.) District
union is a noble one Its members have
contributed TO missionary work the sum
of 81 900, which is an increase of nearly
half dollar member over their record
for last year. They gave an average of
$4.S6 a member to missionary causes
There is now Christian Endeavor
union in the isle of Wight.
The committee of 1894 reports over
$1,000 already pledged by Cleveland so
cieties toward the $4,000 needed for
convention expenses. Thirty societies
are yet to be heard from, and the money
will undoubtedly be easily raised.
At the fourth annual convention Of
southwest Wisconsin at Prairie du
Chen there were 10 pastors present. It
was found that in three years the num-
Der Of societies had increased from 90
young peoples to 81 young peoples and
10 junior societies-a brave8 record.
During the last year the district lookout
committee has organized ls young peo-
ple's and nine junior societies.
