Deceased came to London township in

A certain man in this community
was peddling apples and pigs. In
visiting fOrty-three farm residences
in his tour, he encountered 81 dogs.
-Four being the greatest number at

Camp fleeting.
TUESDAY.

The audience at camp meeting last
night was still larger than on Monday
evening. The tabernacle was loosely
filled and many were peering in from
comfortable locations on the outside.
There were twelve or fifteen hundred
people present, many from tine
country, some as far away as nine
miles.
The platform was filled with sing
ers and, led by Bro. Kerr, they made
the grove ring with melody and
praise to God.
Ed. Boles was at his best and
preached very able sermon on "Why
Christ came to this World" He
showed that it was necessary for
Christ to come TO earth and don the
flesh in order to set a standard for
perfect man. He named over a score
OF good men whose names had clung
to history because of their goodness
but they all made mistakes, none
were perfect. Christ's life was,abso-
lutely perfect at every point and he
challenged any infdel or skeptic to
pick out single flaw in his whole
career.
1t was necessary for Christ to come
also, in order that people might learn
to love him from personal contact
with him, sharing the sorrows and
joys of the common people, their suf-
feringS and their feasts. He endear-
ed himself to their presence and left
an ideal picture of life which has been
transmitted down the ages and be-
come the object of love and admira-
tion on the part Of every one who be-
holds it. Mortal man is incompetent
10 paint such a perfect picture, and
even those who deny his divinity con-
cede the grandeur Of his character.
COmpaniOnship was necessary. II
he had come to earth and secluded
bimself from the people as does the
pope Of Rome, the people would
never have loved him. They would
have hated him as they do the pope.
This night guard Of soldiers is kept
about the pope to prevent his own
people from doing violence to him.
They admire his wealth and pOw&
but they hate him as a man. With
Christ it was different. They loved
him for his noble character and
sacrifice, and that love mas grown and
will continue to grow until his spirit
fills the whole world.
ED. BOles then told how he had in
his early days been snatched as a fire
brand from the jaws Of infdelity and
closed with an eloquent perOratiOn on
the character of Christ and an exhoT.
tatiOn TO sinners to accept him.

Beware! Tim King has blood in
his eye today. This morning Joe
Connor and Squire Cox hired Tim to
haul them to the park and each paid
him nickel. When they wanted to
return, Tim said confidence was re-
stored and business was picking up"
hence he would haul them back for
not a penny less than dime each.
They demurred, but it was oyerruled.
So Mr.. Connor took Mr.. King away up
Jerusalem avenue somewhere and got
him interested in the sights. All un-
expectedly Mr.. Connor made a dash

NlDAI, MarCn ].
The information furnished in this column to-
day as 70 the relations OF the gold syndicate to
the foreign exchange market and its method OF
carrying out its contract with the Government
practically dspelled fears Of immediate ship
mcnts of specie. In consequence more hope
ful feeling prevailed upon the stock Exchange.
yesterdays pressure TO sell was not renewed,
and the short interest betrayed good deal Of
nervousness. There was decided falling of in
the volume OF trading as compared with yes
terdny, and tt would have been even more
pronounced had not two room traders crossed
swords in Sugar Refining. They bought and sold
between themselves many thousand shares of
that stock. The indications were that one OF
them was liquidating his speculative holdings
and that the other improved the opportunity to
cover a large line of shorts The fluctuations in
Sugar Refining, as well as throughout the re-
mainder OF the list, were narrow. The only
stocks that closed materially higher were Jer-
sey Central and Louisville and Nashville. The
Improvement throughout appeared to be due
entirely 20 the covering OF shorts.
A sharp but brief furry in the call money
market broke the monotony Of the dealings on
