I'VE are never 80 weak as when we de-
pond on our strength, for our greatest
strength is weakness. Wemust be smptied

strength will be all-sufficient. God often
chooses the weak things of earth to do this
work, that his glory may be made manifest

Senator Harris and the School Fund

Speaking of Harris" said an old
Washington man, formerly of Tennes-
see, sit CHANGED that l was in Parson
Brownlow's office-Brownlow was then
governor of Reconsideration Harris
came in to give himself up. This was
just after the war. Harris was gov
ernor of Tennessee when the war broke
out, and he was man of vigorous, &C.
tive honesty. There was a large fund
of gold belonging to the school fund, l
believe, as | now recall, amounting to
some 100000. The Confeds wanted
it, but Harris wouldn't give it up. He
guarded it with the single hearted pro-
bity of bulldog. Time came when the
Yankees crowded nearer and more
threateningly. Then Harris gathered
up The 800, 900 and beat retreat. No
one knew where it went to, save that
Harris had taken it. When Brownlow
was made governor he offered reward
of $4,000 for Harris. 1t read some
thing like this:
Sc Isham G. Harris; $4,000 reward for
his capture Is feet 10 inches tall; has
gray eyes; likes whiskey; chews tobacco
rapidly, and is dictatorial in manner
No one, however, gained the reward.
AS soon as the war was over and peace
restored, this honest old Harris re-
turned with every dollar of the gold,
which from first to last he had pro-
tected from all mischance. If it hadn't
been for Harris every dollar would
have been lost. AS Harris walked into
Brownlow's office the latter was lying
on the sofa He was a palsled old man
at the time, and as he saw Harris
CLEAN of humor lit up his eyes. He
arose to greet him, his hands shaking
like twin aspen leaves.
"While the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return"
said Brownlow as he seized Harris by
the hand. That was all there was to it.
The gold came back; Harris came back.
The first was disbursed; the second
was elected to the senate, where he
still prevails, the most interesting char
acter who holds a seat in that sage
body. "-Washington Post.

Gardens of girls flourish like green bay
Horse and lieutenants gay,

Loaded to the muzzle with wad,

With their lily finger tips,

What is more,
We should line the shore

In rosy bowers,
And shunt

Where the men of the sea
Could go on parade
For matron and maid
And dance and 90 nice

On their country's altar so
All the world could know
What heroes our walls OF steel
Conceal.

$4,000.
Elkhorn, Neb.. April 15.-A most dis
astrous fire visited Elkhorn, Neb., and
nearly wiped out the town. 1t started
about 3 o'clock, shortly after Union Pa

ted by sparks from the engine falling
among the corn chaff in the tanning de-
partment of H. f, Marsh's elevator.
The population of Elkhorn is about
700, and unfortunately it has no water
works and buckets Were the only means
of lighting the flames. There is a. chem
ical engine, but it is of little use. Per
sistent individual effort with buckets
had a more telling effect. The proper
ty at Elkhorn is close together and on
account of not having any waterworks
insurance companies have fought shy
OF the risks. and consequently none of
the buildings carry any insurance.
The following is a list of the losses:
f. A. Marsh, elevator, 1000; 900 bush
els of corn, $4,000 (the insurance on
which expired only a few days ago.)

Lima. o., April 16.-The price of Lima
crude oil sho UP 10 cents more this
morning. which indicated that the up.
ward tendency OF the past has not
reached the limit and the price may sni
go higher. The rise this morning makes
North Lima oil now worth Sl.27 Del
barrel; South Lima $1.25 per barrel and
Indiana oil S1.15 per barrel. The Tigona
oil is quoted at s2.75 per barrel and
Pennsylvania $2.25 per barrel.
The increased activity in the oil field
occasioned by the advances in price has
not only stimulated work but has made
a demand for drillers and tool dressers.,
The former have been receiving 81 per
day but Monday their wages were adj
vanaed to 81 LOO and tool dressers and
others accordingly. The demand for
new wells is so great that there are not
enough drillers In the field. Manufac-
turtles of tools are running night ana
day and are away behind in orders.
Lima oil is expected to reach Sl.50 per
barrel by Saturday morning. Many pros
ducers, who have their oil in the STAN
dard's line, are Withholding from SELL
ing in anticipation of a higher market.
