uan's b:rterest Enemy,

"Sin is always mans bitterest en-.
envy" writes Dwight L. Moody, in
"Mr. Moody's Bible Class" in the
Ladies' Home Journal. 1T separates
him from his Maker. 1t separates him
from his fellow-beings. No position is
to ohigh for sin to debase; no place so
hallowed but it seeks 20 corrupt; no
home so sacred but it seeks to destroy.
Sin, like holiness, Is mighty leveler,
says distinguished divine. And what
may be the cause Of the thousands of
suicides which have occurred during
the past year If it is not loathing Of
self? 1t is. sin then which makes a
man loathe himself. It is sin which
makes mans life become burden from
which he so often seeks to free himself
by his own hand"

: a Famous Old Bugle.

A rare old curiosity is temporarily
in the possession of the Kentucky
Historical Society at frankfort. 1t IS
a bugle made Of two slabs OF cedar
about three-sixteenths of an inch in
thickness, and bent into funnel
shape horn. The bell, OF mouth, is
thirteen and one-half inches in circum-
ference. It is hoped with cow-horn
rings and iron bands. The bugle is
the property Of Mrs. Anna Mayhall,
granddaughter Of the late Captain
Robert Collins, who was soldier IN
the War Of 1912-1815. It was used IN
the campaigning Of Colonel Richard
NJ. johnson and was at the death OF
Tecumseh. Captain Collins was a
bugler for the regiment and this instru.
ment he used during the war and It
ordered the famous charge Of Colonel
Johnson. Captain Collins was me-
chanical genius, and with his own
hands made the instrument. Every
! morning at sunrise he walked the
| neighbors for miles around with MS
| reveille call from his bugle until bis
| death in 1864.

How ELL Nye Got Satisfaction Out Of q
~ Chicago Tailor. -. ,z-.-.s
'Nye's method OF 'st1inging peo-
ple,'" says James Whitcomb Riley,
'was entertaining always, but never
cruel and never earned him the re-
sentiment Of the people who were the
victims Of it. One Of the most artis-
tic cases of this sort I recall was the
way he got revenge On q Chicago
tailor. The tailor did not know him
when he went to order his suit, but
he did know from his style that he
was from the country. He told Mr..
Nye just What kind Of o suit he
wanted, selected the cloth and meas
ured him with the assurance that this
was beautiful fast color and would
wear like iron. It should be put up
handsomely.
"When Nye paid him for the suit,
and asked that it be shipped to a
way station in Iowa, the tailor was
sure that he was right in The mental
measurement he had taken Of his Gus
toner. The suit arrived, neatly lined
with farmers satin, and Nye put it on.
Day by day its bright blue grew
lighter and lighter, until when he ar
rived in Chicago six weeks later ii
was kind Of dingy dun color.
| Nye remarked as the train pulled in
that his first duty in thai city would
be to go around md interview that
merchant liar, and we went. We
shambled back to the rear end OF the
shop, where he found the man who
sold him the garments. He shooA
hands with him cordially, said he was
glad to renew the pleasant acquaint
auce, and asked if he knew what hae
caused the suit to change its beautiful
color, at the same time turning up tho
lapel of the coat, showing the strlk
ing contrast between the original ane
the present color Of the cloth.
"'Why, man. cried the tailor
bristling with defensive indignation
what in the world have you beer
doing with that suit?'
"'Well,' replied Nye, in tones o
the meekest apology, you did no
warn me, end l suppose it was m,
fault and ought to have known bet
ter. But since you insist, I'll tel
you frankly what I did. I put it o.
and wore it right out in the sun

Gradually the wall-like ends Of the ice
cap are forced into the sea, and these
are called glaciers. Year after year the
enormous pressure inland sends the Ice
further into the water, but the whole
mass Is so solid that no force seems
great enough to wrest piece from the
main body. But the all-powerful sea
performs the seeming miracle. 1t Is the
upward pressure of the water on the
floating end Of the glacier that finally
wears down it's strength and causes 1t to
burst from the Ice cap with the roar OF
thousand cannon. This is the birth OF
the iceberg.

GOOD ROADS A BIG ISSUE. :,

improved Highways the Best Means OF
Building Up Country Regions.
It is significant that the two lead
ing articles in q recent issue OF
the National Advocate, journal de-
voted to agricultural life and interests,
should deal with ''The Rush to the
Cities" and "The Relation of Good
Roads to Rural Life" The first Of
these papers, by President David
Starr Jordan of Stanford University,
points out as one Of the most disquiet-
ing features Of our social condition
the alarming tendency to congestion
in the cities. The second paper,
commenting on the necessity of i'm
proved roadways, gives one OF the
most important Of the reasons Tor this
tendency.
Entirely apart from the immensely
important consideration Of commercial
and industrial welware, the Nation
| must look to National and State sys-
tens Of good roads if it would build
| up the country. And the country is
the storehouse from which every Ma
ton draws its strength. The journal
quotes from the California advocate:
"First, and as the necessity without
which nothing can be done, we must
have good roads-roads over which
vehicle or bicycle ::may glide rapidly
and smoothly, and even now, with
such roads, with good horses, OF the
swift.bicycle, are neighbors and fami.
lies in the country, in closely settled
communities, practically brought as
near together for oil social intercourse
and enjoyment and advantages Of edn:
cation as residents Of q city. Small
holdings, we'll titled, bringing thickly
populated rural communities, will sup
port, in near-by towns, good schools
churches, public libraries, gymnasi.
ums, halls for musical and theatrlca
entertainments, and social enjoyment'
of oil kinds, and all within easy react
of the entire community. Under these
conditions nothing which the city ha'
to offer may not be had in the village
and within the reach of the means O
every thrifty farmer
Nor should it be forgotten that tn
establishment of good roads would Oh
materially in bringing on the day Q

promises to do great work in build
ing up the country. If the various leg

lift toward brighter days let them tur
