Where Black Angels Go.

An Alabama paper says that an enter
prising Yankee book agent is making u
barrel of money in Alabama. He came
from Connecticut and has been selling
books, chiefly to negroes. He soon came to
appreciate the enthusiasm of the negro in
matters of religion. He found that in all
the illustrated Bibles the pictures of the
angels were in white, and he conceived the
idea Of having a Bible made for the colored
race filled to overlooking with pictures of
negro angels. The books cost him about
Sl.10, but he placed the first large shipment
at IS each, payable 81. 80 cash, the balance
in monthly payments. He is selling the
Bibles as fast as he can get them delivered.

Couldn't Vote Against the Bible.

The credit of actually winning an cleo
ton is claimed for party emblem in the
little town Of Benton, Ky, where local
option election was held few days ago.
The campaignors for license adopted
jug as their emblem, the Prohibitiunists a
picture of an open Bible, with the words,
"Holy Bible, in big letters across the top
of the open pages az the emblem of the
nntilicense forces. The people of Benton
may be thirsty, but they are pious and it
is related that when the open Bible and
the jug Of whisky were pictorially placed
before them they couldn't vote against the
Bible, even though they favored license,
The choice between the two touched them
in vulnerable spot, and the election went
very dry-Ncw York sun.

In city within half thousand miles
to the west, the trolley cars have board
about s or inches square suspended at
one side of the front platform with one
large letter upon it. A means the car goes
to Allentown, B to Bowlersville, c out
Brown street, and so on. Four members
of a family that recently moved here from
that city labored hard to tell current
joke, due to the signs.
"They have oolored K on the front
platform" said one.
"No," corrected No. 2, "they have an
African sign"
"You mean" added No. 8, "that the
cars always have negro on board"
"That isn't it, asserted No. 4. otis
something about the motorman being col

"Ohw exclaimed the almost bewildered

The Three Kings of Cologne.

From out Cologne there came three kings
To worship Jesus Christ, their kin.
To him thew sought fine herbs they brought
And man. beauteous golden thing;
They brought their gifts to Bethlehem towr
And in that manager set them down.
Then spako the first king, and he said:
40 Child, most heavenly, bright and fair
bring this crown to Bethlehem town
For thee, and only thee, to wear.
So give heavenly crown to me
When ! shall come at last TO thee"
The second. then. ''I bring thee here
This royal robe, o Child" he cried.
"Of silk tits spun, and such a one
There is not in the world beside.
So in the day of doom requite
Me with heavenly robe Of white"
The third king gave his gift and quoth:
"Spikerard and myrrh to thee bring,
And with these twain would most fain
Anoint the body Of my king.
So may their incense some time rise
To plead for me in yonder skies"
Thus spalSe the three kings Of Cologne
That gave their gifts and went their way
And now knoel in prayer hard by

played complete. Every ball, strike and
decision by the umpire is plainly heard.
Stevens announces every hit error or
stolen base. The realistic crack of the bat
is great triumph in stage device.
The game stands l to D against the
Chicagos with two out in the last half of
the ninth inning Dahlen is on base and
Arson at bat Two strikes and three balls
have been called, Mcmahon pitching.
Then comes the sound of bah and bat

There are many reasons in favor Of
the superstition that Mars is more likely
to have been inhabited in past ages than
at the present time in spite Of its at
mosphere or water or clouds. Mr.. Proc
tor, for instance, has pointed ont that a
globe Of the size Of Mars would cool
rather more than two and half times
IS quickly as one Of the size Of the
earth. # the earth and Mars were in
a similar condition $4,000, 900 years
ego, Mars would have attained, accord
ing to that rate Of cooling, to the earth s
present condition 1000, 900 years..
g., 1000, 900 years ago-and the earth
would now require $4,000, 900 future
years in which to cool as much as Mars
has cooled during the last II, 900, 900
years. So far as regards that considera-
tion. therefore, the probability Of the
present Availability Of Mars must be
compared with the probability Of the
earth's being inhabited when 90, O00,-
900 more years will be past and gone. -

But in that year what things have bee03
We walk, we talk together, yet
We cannot bridge the gulf between.
All looks unchanged save Us alone,
We've drifted into other ways.
Time turns the page, the past'is gone,
And naught restores the vanished days
The flying hours new scenes reveal.
We never fancied, you and I,
They would come when we should feel
No longer sad to say goodby.
