Last Sunday night q young
gentleman living below Shep.
herdstown called upon two young
ladies above town aud The three
drove together to church al
Scrabble. As they were return.
ing home after service a small
animal was noticedr drumming along
side the buggy. The young man
saidit was a dog, but one Of the
ladies contended that il was .
'possum. The driver cut at the
animal with his whip, and in.
mediately all doubt as to its
identity was dispelled. No one
disputed the proposition that it
was awide.awake, healthy skunk.
The occupants of the buggy were
victims Of the offensive animal to
such an extent that they were
made sick, and the horse and
buggy were perfumed most
bountifully. 1t is kindness to
draw the veil on the scene when
the party arrived at their re.
.spectiye homes, but they will not
fool with strange animals in the
dark any Register.

The sunilower as a Tlmepieee.

Kansas has often been called
the Sunfiower State, a title more
than ever appropriate since. the
foreman upon Gov. Motley's
farm constructed his sunaower
clock. Choosing an enormous
suntlower he attached to its
dropping head a tiny cornstalk
not more than ten feet long.
About the plant he drew a circle
and divided il into twenty four
parts each of which was subdi-
vided for minutes and seconds.
And now. as the faithful plant
from dawn till dusk eyes its fierce
lord, the cornstalk pointer moves
about the dial, indicating the
time. The sunfiower clock can
also be used as as a stopwatch to
time races by holding over it a
big umbrella, which checks the
revolution upon the instant, when
the time TO the fraction of IA sec
ond may be read upon the dial.

When people come to God in earnest
their first work is to be blessed them
selves before they can communicate
this blessing to others. Jabez asked
neither poverty or riches" This Is an
excellent example to the godly people of
today, of whom can be said that the
earth and the fullness thereof would
not satisfy them. When God really
sees that man and woman desires a
blessing from His hands that they may
be more useful to the world, He does
not tarry, but blesses them at once, and
provides all the needful things to ex-
pedite their work.
