THE SCOTTISH STURGEON.
Rev. John MCNEIL Is a Globe TrottinE
Evangelist.

Rev. John Mcneil Is q Globe TrOttinE
Evangelist.
Rev. John Mcneil, the Scottish
evangelist who first appeared in the
United States at the congress of reli-
gions during the Worlds fair, when he
spoke from the same platform with Mr..
Moody for six months, is again in this
country. He has been preaching in New
York and Brooklyn and has attracted
large audiences. Like Moody, MCNEIL
has taken the whole world as his pas
torate, and for a number of years he
has been globe trotting, meeting with
great success everywhere.
Mr.. MCNEIL is a big, strapping, whisk-
cred, long haired, six footer. with the
voice of lion and the frame of an ath-
lete. He roars the gospel at his congre-
cations, stamps about the pulpit plat
form in the most reckless manner and
does many other unconventional things
which make his style of preaching
rather sensational. Compared with
him, the movements of DR.. Talmage are
sluggish When he breaches, his arms
and legs and feet are all in motion, and
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1897-06-07

he emphasizes his points with terrific
stamps which make the, dust fly and
hold his hearers speIlbound.
Mr. Mcneil made his first appear
ance in Edinburgh, where great crowds
thronged to hear him. He was called
the Scottish Spurgeon and after bril-
liant season received a call from the
Regent Square Presbyterian church,
London, whose pulpit has been held by
many famous pastors. He remained
there until five years ago, when his
wife died. Then he resigned his pas
torate and started out on an evangelical
tour of the world.
He is a man Of powerful personal
magnetism and generally arouses his
audiences to a high pitch of religious
fervor. Just before coming to the
United States on his present visit he
held a series of revival meetings in Liv-
erpool which stirred that city as it had
not been stirred since the visit Of Moody
and Sankey 20 years ago. Mr.. Mcneil
will probably visit other large cities in
the country before he leaves.

Cassius NJ. Barnes, the newly ap-
pointed governor of Oklahoma, is one

WHERE BURGLARS QUAIL.

A Look at tho Strong Room OF q Great
lew York bank.
No little dramatic interest is latent in
these huge boxes of heavy masonry, of the
dimensions of large room, with their
thousands of interior safes, each with Its
own locks of various complexity and
strength. In n single vault on Broadway
there are $1,000 compartments, from a
size just sufficient to- contain dozen rail
road bonds to the huge cayerns of masonry
that hola tons upon tons of silver and gold.
Tho main doors which furnish entrance
to the great box are tho points on which

No burglar would ever think OF trying te

Se disposed of the watchman who tramps

English Bible Distribution.

Nobody seems to know even approx
mately what Is the total output of Bibles
at the present time. There aro reckoned
to be about 20 ccnters of production and
distribution, but what ia the extent of
their work there are no means Of ascer-
taining. OF distributing associations there
are four principal ohes-the British and
Foreign Bible society, the American Bible
society, the Scotch and the Dutch. OF
these the London society Is by far the
largest 1t Is managed by committee Of
SO laymen, six Of whom are foreigners
resident In or near London. OF the re-
manning 30, half are members of the
church of England and the other half are
representatives of other Christian CON-
munions. 1t has gross income of about
R250, 200. The societies affiliated with

Don't Grumble at Dinner.

Why is 1t that in most households the
dinner table becomes dumping ground
for the wholesale plants Of its ;nembersY
Probably because this Is tho only meal of
the day when, the entire family meeting
together, each one feels it a duty to air a
few personal grievances in order to seek
consolation from the others.
Out of difference to digestion, II for no
other reason, dinner table conversation
should be of the spiciest, but this fact Is
lost sight of In tho general desire Of every
body, from papa down to the youngsters,
to serve up only those topics which have
marred rather than made the days happi-
ness.
Hardly has the man Of the house finished
his carving duties before he falls into an
animated financial discussion with his
wife. Household expenses are rehashed,
bills grumbled over, and the cost of living
recalculated with tedious regularity.
Mother, in her turn, eagerly pours into
any listening ear her domestic woes. The
days errors below stairs are minutely re-
corded. She sighs over Bridget's butter
waste, declares that the butchers indiffer-
ence to her order Is becoming intolerable,
and so on.
Then the small boy (poor little target
for family flaw picking) comes in for his
share of criticism. His failures at school
are relcntlcssly raked up and all sorts of
punshments threatened unless there Is
speedy reform.
If there are guests present, this talk of
the inner circle is, for courtcsy's sake,
given a less personal flavor, but only then.
"Good cheer and plenty of it, is not the
motto of the average family dinner, ,-Ex'

Mrs. Mary shears Roberts writes of tho
famous Tartnr dwarf Cnsan In her series

reign Of Genghis Khan. and revealed q
daring spirit even In boybood. Ho gath

account Of ono of his pranks:
When they came together, they found

Of magnificent horses, owned by ono Tin
Kin, was quietly pasturing. Casan cuytly
ordered oach 10 mount - c0urser ns quick

The tiny dwarf set tho example. Spring.

by n skillful mAncuyer was on Its back In

Tho fleet footed animals charged ahead and
soon all the Tartar boys were drawn up
before their small leader. Here Casan,
without saddle or bride, put them through

Now, according TO the Tartar code, the
theft Of u horse was punishable by death.
Tin Kin, the owner Of the herd, soon dis
covered that some of his choicest animals
were missing, and of he started In hot
pursuit, vowing vengeance on the mis-
creants. He soon came In sight Of the
evildoers, but his rage gave place to aston
ishment when he found his superb steed
mounted by half grown children who were
going through various exercises under

pleased to have your animals appreciated,
and can assure you we have found them

The owner was % taken aback at the
dwarf's harangue that for q moment he
stood speechless. He soon, however, re.
gained possession of his wits, and OK
claimed: "You appear to be queer char.

and we will talk the matter over together.
The little cavaliers with one accord &C.

tent of Tin Kin, breakfasted with him,
and the result of 1t all was that firm
friendship was established between the
Tartar horse merchant and the reckless
little dwarf and his followers.

PECULIAR POtSONS,
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result Of Imperfect Digestion OF
Food.

The Result OF Imperfect Digestion OF
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal, con-
tains within itself the germs Of certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs of dis
ease and death (called by scientists Pto-
maines) are usually the result OF imperfect
digestion of food; the result OF indigestion
or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly digest
the food. The result is . heavy, sodden
mass which ferments (the first process of
decay) poisoning the blood, making It
thin, weak, and lacking In red corpuscles;
poisoning the brain causing headaches and
pain In the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
OF this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Bright's disease and diabetes
And this Is 30 because every organ, every
nerve depends upon the stomach alone for
nouriehment and renewal, and weak d.
digestion shows itself not only In loss of
appetite and flesh, but In weak nerves and
muddy complexion.
The great English scientist, Huxley, said
the best start In life Is sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food proper
ly, because they lack the proper quantity
OF digestiye acids (lactic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenic products; the most sensi-
BILE remedy in all cases OF indigestion, is to
take after each meal, one or two OF Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply In
a pleasant, harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use OF Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear COM
plexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.
