Where are the miner" (verse 11-19)
In this story of the ten lepers we
have a remarkable illustration of the
test and power of faith. Leprosy will
illustrate sin in its loathsomeness and
incurability. In this case Jesus did
not touch the bodies as He was accus-
toned to do. But when they cried,
Jesus Master have mercy on MS, He
tested their faith by saying, go show
yourselves unto the priests. " AS much
as to say, eye are already healed, pro-
coed at once to offer the appropriate
legal sacrifices in token of your re-
covery," AS they proceeded, in obed-
fence to this command, to the neigh
boring priest, suddenly OIL by degrees

feet health, turned back, and with a
loud voice glorified God, and fell down
on his face at His feet, giving Him
thanks" Jesus assuring him that his
faith had made him whole, commended
him, and asked "where are the Miner
The contrast between this Samaritan
and the other nine lepers makes an in
teresting theological and psychological
study. They all showed their faith by
their obedience and were cleansed.
Abbott says: Every miracle is a
parable in this is a hint to those who
wait before entering on practical
Christian duty until they have re.
ceived some personal sense Of divine
pardon. To such the command of
Christ is, Go, assume that / will and
can cleanse you and begin the life of
one who has been cleansed.
Such was the ready obedience and
faith following, Of these ten lepers.

1ou ask me to write You something
descriptive Of the duties of a governor.
! can do this best perhaps by telling
you something of the duties of the GOV
ernor of Missouri but as the duties of
all the governors in all the states are
substantially the same, what | write
of the governor of this state will apply
in its essential parts to the others.
The governor is thc chief executive
officer of the state. The constitution
provides that The supreme executive
power shall be vested in Il chief magis-
trate, who shall he styled The COVER
nor of the state of Missouri The
duty of the governor is to enforce the
law and preserve the peace; or, as the
constitution defines it, 1.-THE governor
shall take care that the laws are distri-
buted and faithfully executed, and he
shall be n co~nservator of the peace
throughout the state. For a general
statement of the governors duties |
cannot improve upon the terse and
simple language of the constitution
which creates the Office. Under parti.
cular provisions of the constitution
and by virtue of the statute laws a
variety of special duties is imposed
upon the governor and to enable him
to discharge his duties he is clothed
with certain powers, some of which
are clearly defined and some of which
are discretionary, and certain agencies
are put at his command.
I cannot undertake in this article to
give you n complete statement in de-
tail of all the duties and responsible
ties imposed upon the gu~bernatorial
office, but l will endcayor to elaborate
them sufficiently to afford your readers
n fairly accurate concrption Of the sub

TWO CHRISTMAS GIFTS.
A Live Turkey and u Pair Of Convict
Trousers.

Live Turkey and II Pair of Convict's
Trousers.
The following is the last article which
Eugene Field wrote for publication:
During the entire period of my connec-
ton with the Chicago News it was the
benevolent custom Of the proprietors to
give turkey to all their married en-
ployes at Christmas time. When the
christmas season came one year, found
that turkeys had palled upon me. and I
thought | would rather have pair of
pants. l therefore sent a polite little
note to Editor-in-Chief Stone, saying
that it it was all the same to him l would
take pair of pants instead of u turkey
TOR q Christmas gift. as my soul felt no
longing for turkey, but sighed for pants.
Now Editor Stone was a bit of a Joker
in his way. and, liking the modest tone
OF my petition, he obtained from the
warden of the penitentiary at Joliet a
the convicts in that institution. On
Christmas eve the package containing
them was sent to me with the best
Christmas wishes of the concern, lust as
the turkey had always been. Editor
Stone and the entire writing and business
force. whom he had taken into his con-
hdence, thought they had played SPLEEN
on them, however, by donning the pants
the next morning and wearing them CON
stantly every day for week, expressing
my gratitude for them, and telling ev-
erybody about the Office that never had
Il pair of pants l liked so we'll and tina +
thenceforward I would wear no other
kind.
When the next Christmas came again
addressed polite little note to Editor
Stone, stating that l did not care for
the mere corpse of a turkey, but would
much prefer to have one animate by a
soul. or III other words live one, in or
der that might keep it in my yard for a
pet. On Christmas eve l was sitting at
my desk when suddenly l heard What
the classics call "a strong noise' above
my head, and down came bouncing biz
turkey over the partition dividing the
editorial rooms. The bird gave album
dant evidence that he was strongly en-
dowed with life, and there could be no
question that my desires had been graft.
fed and that I was at last the proud
possessor of live turkey. I did not
want him in my room just then, so with
great presence of mind leaped upon nv
desk and ''shooed" the bird out Of my
room. He went Tapping, jumping and
gobbling all through the reportorial and
editorial rooms, knocking down ink bot
ties, scattering and destroying copy,
overturning and breaking the shades on
the drop lights, and doing many dollars
worth of damage. At length, after a
long and exciting chase, the entire edi-
torial and reportorial force, with the
single exception of myself, succeeded in
capturing the bird. Thus once more
secured the laugh on my associates, and
after that no further attention was paid
to my petitions at Christmas time.-Buf-

In old New England times it was

to preserve the delieacy of flavor, and
