STUDYING THE HEAVENS.

"This camp, through all the tedious n ght Of life, shall guide our way,
 Till we behold the clearer light Ot an oteTn9l doy "

 Thoughts, An undevou. astronomer is
 pad The stability of the starry sky is perfectly amazing. We see what Abrar0 saw when the Lord said to him, "Loek now toward ho4ver, a71 tell the stars, if thou b3 able toruuber them" He with olt dou55 saw ;he Ch7ea ctars, pr ell and yard, iu Orion. They are somttimes called the "Three Eings." IL JAb they are called the "Bands of Orion" The ancient husbandmen called them Jacobs rod," and sometimes the ''rake." The laiver=i+y of L>ip ic in 1907 gave them
 he naB3e of NapyleUn. This is the as- tronomer's yard stick. They are just three degrees in length and serve AS 8 graduated standard for measuring the distances of stars from each other. There is no other grooping just like then. How wonderful! They are always there and have been just the same, for tbou- sands of years.

Mckinley ratification meeting had been
abandoned, but the reception had origin
ally been given enough of a political
cast to keep quite number away who
would otherwise have been present How
ever, there was crowd at the depot,
while a large delegation had proceeded

Upon the arrival of the train a process

residence. The house was handsomely
decorated and there were many ladies
present The gateway was arched with
decorations bearing the word welcome.
The address of welcome was delivered
by Judge Beatty. The senator was much

glad the reception had not been given
political character, and he was always
glad to meet citizens of the state ir-
respective of party.
Continuing, he SAID: "At another time
/ will explain TO you and shall undertake
to vindicate the course that [ have pur-
sued in matters to which the speaker who

with whom 1 have differed; nor do / wish
to criticize the friends of the other
prominent parties of this state.
II feel honored to know that greet you
one and all as fellow citizens in this
! cordial way, and thank you again most
sincerely and with a fervent heart for
this very cordial ovation"
