JAILED FOB A DEBT.
Cruel Treatment of a Jersey Man Be-
cause of Unpaid Taxes.

New Brunswick, N. J., Aug. "a
Homesiel and heartbroken, with Grim
fnals for companions, Peter Perrine is
confined in Jail in this city because of
unpaid taxes, amounting to $780,
He was arrested at his home in
Jamesburg and brought to the Jail on
a. warrant sworn out by the commits
sioners Of the borough of Jamesburg,
charging with failure to pay poll tax
of 81, a dog tax of 80 cents, with costs,
bringing the total amount up to $3.50.
when Perrine. who is SO years old, was
arrested. he left his wife and two boys
penniIess and without any means of
support.
The fear that his little family will be
compelled to go to the poorhouse while
he is helpless in the jail has made the
unfortunate mans punishment all the
greater.

An Invention Which Is Expected to Revo-

If you have a gold or silver mine
about whose value you are at all uncer-
tain, take it to Professor L. J. Kimball
of San Francisco and have its fortune
told. If you cannot do that, perhaps you
can get the professor to take his newly
invented electro magnetic apparatus out
to your mining property and give you
a map of the mineral veins under the
ground, tell you exactly how much met

court. Unfortunately, as it seemed, for
Judge Brace, he lived in the same county
with the man who was the candidate of
both parties for state treasurer. Now,
the Missouri politicians have great re-
gard for the geographical make up of
their tickets, and they all agreed that it
would be disastrous to nominate two
men from the same county on the same
ticket, and that Judge Brace would have
to go.
Then Mrs. Weber came to the front.
She announced that she would manage
her fathers campaign, and that she
would show the politicians that what
they said was impossib BILE not only could
but should be accomplished. Previous
to this time most of her triumphs had
been achieved in the social world. She
had been before her marriage, year or
two ago, the acknowledged belle of
Jefferson, City and her presence at
brilliant social affairs in Kansas City
and other cities of the state had added
life to the occasions. She had also been
many times referred to as 'tthe hand
soonest woman in Missouri. - But Mrs.
Weber sailed into politics to win. She
went to Jefferson City, established head
quarters in the principal hotel and sent
out her aids to corral the delegates.
When the latter came, Mrs. Weber talked
straight politics to them. She smiled
upon them and coaxed them, if she
could not argue, into promising to vote
for her father. They surrendered. When
the convention was held, Judge Brace
was Fenominated, with many votes to
spare, and Mrs. Weber retired to private
life, once more to enter the social swim.
As politician she has proved charm
ing success.

To human soul the most periI0us >tuation is to be out of Christ; "Without Christ, being aliens to the common wealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world" That is d true, though sad, description of those outside the fold.

COMES THROUGH THE DOOR.

There is lawful limit to the liberty of home. When man signs 8 temper ance pledge, or in other words binds himself not to do wrong by injuring himself and setting bad example, that involves no restriction of his liberty to do right. Christian liberty is freedom to dc what we will, having a will to do what is right and lawful; freedom to do what our will prompts us to do, our will being subject to the will of God. Will any right minded man complain of such liberty as that? Will the eagle repine as he scars through the expanse of heaven, because the laws of his being forbid his borrowing in the ground like woodchuck or a mole? Will the sheep in the fold complain because he is not permitted to jump over the precipice in- to the sea, or go and lie down with the wolf in his lair? know of no better or higher freedom than freedom limited by law, such freedom as the Christian en- joys. And yet there are slaves to appe- tite and passion, captives in the prison house of Satan, who talk as if to come into the fold of Christ was to give up their liberty. The Christian is subject to the restraints of religion, but that is not bondage. It is the s'glorious liber- ty, not of the reckless violators of Je- hoyah's law, but of ssthe Sons of God. ;
 Finally, the Savior ia a door of supply.
