The Lost is Found.

Last Friday afternoon Geo. T.. Smith,
Will Smith, III. A. DiXson, Geo. w.
Higgins and Dick Remington, with
Tom Kniss as driver, started out on a
rabbit hunt. They drove TO Ed.
Blakeman's, where they left the rig
and started out, Harry Dixson, VIII
Smith, and Geo. Higgins going in one
direction and the rest in another. 1t
seems Harry DiXson was after laurels
so started out alone. After an hour
and half they returned to the rig, but
Harry had not yet put in an appear
ance. They shouted and fired their
guns as signal, but no answer, so
they drove off i'm search, and continued
the search till dark, when they gave
up in despair and returned home. They
thought perhaps Harry had seen a
rabbit, got scared and took refuge in
some farmers house, who would bring
him safely home. After supper they
thought best to go and look for him,
so got rig and started out but met
him near the Grand opera house, plod-
ding his weary way home. They were
met with the invitations: "suckers I'M
lOad.n
Harry did not find the rabbit he
had been looking for for day and a
half until he went to the theatre Satur-
day evening, and when he saw it.,
recognized it at once, as was plainly
seen by the broad smile which over
spread his countenance. He will prob
ably wear bell when he goes rabbit
hunting again.
Dick Remington claims to be the
champion rabbit catcher of these parts,
but says he thinks the rabbit he caught
sis running yet"

General Harrison on the Presidency.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison
will discuss 1.-THE Presidential Office"
very Complementary in his "This
Country of Ours" series, in the forth
coming February Ladies' Home Jour
nal. He will detail the provisions and
methods of electing Chief Magistrate,
and will have much to say bearing
upon the eligibility of President for
reelection; will give his views as to the
length of the Presidential term, and ex-
press rather decided opinions relative
to the annoyance to which Presidents
are subjected from office-seekers. The
article is practical, based upon expert
ence and observation, and is very time
ly. General Harrison believes that the
fears expressed by the trainers of our
Constitution that the power ofthe Office
is such as to enable an ambitious incum-
bent to secure an indefinite succession
of terms have never been realized. "In
practice the popular opinion has limit
ed the eligibility of the President to
one reelection. But some of our lead
ing and most thoughtful public men
have challenged the wisdom of the
four-year term, and have advocated six
years, usually accompanied with pro-
hibition of second term. And unless
some method can be devised by which
less considerable part of the four-year
term must be given to hearing appli-
cants for office and to making appoint
ments, it would be wise to give the
President, by extending the time, a
better chance to show what he can do
for the country. 1t must be admitted,
also, that ineligibility to second term
will give to the Executive action great
er independence. 1t seems unlikely,
however, that any change in the Presi-
Dental term will be made unless some
unexpected event should stir into action
a thought that is now of theoretical
rather than practical cast"

ARMENIA.
Armenia, o Armenia!

Armenia, o Armenia!
viii nations heed thy cry,
Or must thou feel the Moslem's steel
Till all thy people die?
Thy land that once held Eden,
Where Adam went to dwell,
The savage Turk by fearful work
Hath made it now a hell.
Where Noah's mighty mountain
Uplifts it's ancient head,
And views a plain piled high with slain,
Armenia's martyred dead.
Where Maidens, Christian maidens,
Knelt down to fiendish Kurds,
And on the air they breathed prayer
We dare not frame in words.
prayer that even a savage
Might listen to with pain,
AS daughters fair with bosoms bare
Begged simply TO be slain.
To Woman's prayer was answered
A demons knocking laugh,
AnG then the knife that ended life
Seemed kinder far by half.
o chivalry of England!
OF Europe! of the earth!
Your swords should flash, your cannon
crash,
For human right and worth.
Ought Turkish tigers shepherd
This primal Christian fold,
And boast of crimes, unnumbered times,
Too awful TO be told?
Wake, lion-hearted Richard!
Shake off the clinging sod!
And once again lead Christian men
Against these foes of God.

Sermons for Young Men.

In these days when the problems of re
llgious and intellectual education are so at
tentiyely studied, the needs OF young men
are occupying the attention of the pulpit
more than ever before.
Rev. j. c. Cromer, pastor of the First
Congregational church, will begin Sunday
evening a series of four sermons to young
men. The general subject Of the sermon is,
''Young Men Who have Fallen" and the
special topics are:
/. Absalom, Fast Young Man.
2. Jeroboam, Polite Young Man.
3. Balaam. Bribed Young Man.
f. Samson. Badly Named Young Man.
1t is the design of these sermons to
strengthen the moral and religious princi-
pies of young men. They will be Biblical
in the choice of representative Old Testa-
nent characters, but will be treated from
the standpoint of the temptations and
dangers which surround the young life OF
today.
All are invited to these services on Sun
day evenings. The topic for Sunday even
ing is the first one of the series, ''Absalom
A Fast Young Man"

Sunday School Workers Meet.

The quarterly meeting of the Sunday
school superintendent and teachers union
met in the First NJ. E. church Monday even
ing, beginning at o'clock. j. w. Sim
mons presided and NJ. II. Reynolds con-
Quoted the singing.
After the devotional exercises conducted
by Rev. j. M. Kerridge, the general subject
of s. s. management was taken up.
j, II. Webster spoke on Organization
and said that Sunday schools. being an as
sembly of persons having an object to ac
complish need definite form of organiza-
ton suitable to the existing conditions. He
believed that the officers and teachers should
be professed Christians.
After some very pertinent discussion on
this topic j. W. Simmons treated the subject
of 'Gradation," reading from the reports of
the Wilkesbarre and Detroit plans of the
M. K. Sunday schools in those places. The
best plan seemed to be division into four
departments: primary, intermediate, junior
and senior, with normal class and reserve
corps added in very large schools. A
scheme of promotions should be made, de-
pending upon age, certain required knowl-
edge and maturity of character.
The discussion brought out the fact that
the Owosso Sunday schools are not far be-
hind the lines laid down in the larger cities.
The Congregational S. S. is managed on the
graded plan, the primary department hay
ing been graded for four years. When the
Baptist s. s. is in its new quarters the
graded plan will be used there. The M. E.
S. s. follows the Detroit plan and is graded.
An undenomnational Sunday school In the
rural districts is better than none at all, but
they generally became connected with some
church.
In his paper on "Class Management" E.
p. S. Miller spoke of the Importance of the
class and of many points necessary to be
considered In the successful management of
the class, the main one being that the teach
er should be one inspired by desire to do
good for others.
Supt. Simmons, Of the Baptist Sunday
school, gave an invitation, which was ac-
cepted, to the union to hold its next meet
ing, July Is, at the Sunday school rooms of
the new Baptist church. 4 good number
Of 8. y. teachers were present at this meet

GRANT HEADQUARTERS

Dallas. Tex, Nov. 20.-(Special) The
Grant people have established headQuar-
tiers here and will send out memorials
over the state for signatures boosting
Grant for cabinet position.
Hon. f. Ii. X. Green. chairman of the
republican state executive committee,
who paid his respects to Presdent-elect
Mckinley last Monday, chaperoned by
Hon. Mark A. Hanna, c. II. Hedges and
others, was due in Dallas tonight. He
morrow. Mr.. VIM. NJ. OLeary, in
charge of headquarters at the Oriental
hotel, stated that $50 letters await the
disposition of the state chairman. His
daily mail has swollen to enormous pro-
portions, and those who are anxious to
serve in officials positions under the in
coming administration are filing their ap-
plicatiOns and endorsements. Headquar-
tiers will be continued for several months,
perhaps until the unfinished business has
been disposed of, and the great mass of
correspondence attended to. The friends
of Chairman Green say that he keenly re-
sents the onslaught made upon Gen. }.
y. Huston and others by Dr. Grant in
his gingcry communication addressed to
the Indiana statesman and published ten
days ago.
AT Headquarters it is claimed that
the official returns show that the Mckin-
ley and Hobart electors received 14O,O0O
votes in Texas, with fifty sparsely settled
counties in the Panhandle to hear from.
The republicans made their greatest gain
in the cities and towns of the state and
in the German-American settlements.
