WHEN THE TOWN WAS TOUGI

WHEN THE TOWN WAS TOUGH.
From the San Francisco Post.
A noted evangelist, having stayed
over in one of those southwest towns
where the hotel keeper depends upon
the disconnection of trains for a
livelihood, fell into the following
talk with the landlord:
"You've got a good town here,
haven't your" he said.
"We think so," replied the host
automatically.
"Business seems to be lively"
"Yes, we're enjoying a BOOM"
SIT appears to be improving rap
idly"
"That,s what"
"You don't have any lynchings
here, do your,
"Not Hike we used to-"
GIVE heard that it was once very
bad in that line."
"Well, yes, we used to have a
hanging now and then, but it's been
a mighty long time now since we had
one.n
uWhen was the last one."
The landlord studied a moment and
and counted on his fingers.

LESSONS FROM CALVARY.
/. The cross is a shame or a glory accord
ing to the spirit or motives with which we
bear 1t. The deed transforms the place, as
Calvary, the place of execution, has become
the center Of the worlds history and the
worlds salvation. tPeloubet).
2. 'Sacrifce' IL The word that meets us
everywhere in the high places of life. The
soldier who dies for his country, the states
man who gives up present popularity for the
ultimate good OF the nation, the man of
wealth who foregoes the life OF selfish lux
ury to labor for his poorer brethren, the
mother who devotes her existence to the
training OF her child-these and all like
them are making sacrifices, Offering sacri-
foes. All the greatest acts OF men are
sacrifices of self, of life, OF comfort for the
good OF others. We are not to think OF these
apart from the sacrifice of Calvary, but I,
see In It the central point OF a great sacri
fetal order of life. in which alone men trul,

DANIEL

Theodore Roosevelt in st. Nicholas.
Boone frequently took to the field
OH set expeditions against the saw
ages. Once when he and a party of
other men were making salt at a lick,
they were surprised and carried off
by the Indians. The old hunter
was a prisoner with them for several
months, but finally made his escape
and came home through the trackless
woods as straight as the wild pigeon
flies. He was ever ON the watch to
ward off the Indian inroads, and to
follow the parties aud try to
rescue the prisoners.
Once his wi daughter and two
other girls who were with her ere
carried off by a band of Indians.
Boone collected some friends and
followed them steadily for two days
and a night; then they came to
where the Indians had killed a buff
falo calf and were camped. Firing
from a distance, they shot two In
dians, and, rushing in, rescued the
girls.
On another occasion, when Boone
had gone to visit a salt lick with his
brother, the Indians ambushed them
and shot the latter. Boone himself
escaped, but the Indians followed
him for three miles by the aid of 6
tracking dog, until Boone turned
shot the dog, and then eluded hit
pursuers. In company with Simon
Kenton and many Of the notet
hunters and wilderness warriors, Ii,
once and again took part in perilouI
expeditions into the Indian country
Twice bands of Indians, accompanies
by French, Tory and British parti
sans from Detroit, bearing the flag o
Great Britain, attacked Boonesbor
ough. In each case Boone and hi
fellow. settlers beat them off witt
|. loss.
AT the fatal battle of the Blu
!, Lick, in which two hundred of tn
r best rihemen in Kentucky wer
r beaten with terrible slaughter by
great force of Indians from the lakes
Boone commanded the left wing
, Leading his men, rifle in hand, b
back and overthrow the force againf
him; but meanwhile the Indian
r destroyed the right wing and center
, and got in the rear, so that theI
was nothing for Boone's men exceI
, to fee with all speed.

And we felt no more the prick of labor's groan;
Then we shared the golden treasure of sweet

There are sapient seers and sages who predict

And glad full-fledged millennium will leap on

And we'll play, but never labor any more.

Kerosene Emulsion.

Kerosene (coal oiD emulsion has
been thoroughly tested as an orchard
spray. No one need hesitate to use it.,
for it has nothing in its composition
that will hurt anything. The preva-
lence of worny fruit in this state is
so common that no means should be
left untried to guard against it. East
ern orchardists, who have made the
care of their trees a life study, agree
as to the value of this emulsion, a re-
ceipt for which is given below:
For insects, the kerosene emulsion
is mostly used. Shave one pound of
hard soap in half gallon of boiling
water, and when the soap is dissolved
remove the boiling water from the fire
and add half gallon of kerosene,
churning briskly with the force pump
OF the sprayer for Is minutes until
the mixture has the appearance of
thick cream. Kerosene will not mix
with water, but will form an emulsion
with soap. Now add slowly, stirring
we'll from 10 to Is gallons If water,
according to the strength desired. 1t
will keep any length desired, and de-
stroys insects on trees and plants, as
well as feas, lice, etc, and does not
injure plants like unadulterat.d .seeo-
sene, being also much chea err A gil
o spirits OF turpentine will improve
the emulsion if added at the time OF
adding the kerosene. An efficient
sprayer should throw fine, mist-like
spray, and the spray should spread
over large surface, so as to enable
one to do the work quickly and thor
oughly.-Press Times.
