Inventor Edison,s nrightest storm

One of the best examples of the great
inventor Edison's wit is recorded in an
anecdotal biography of the great inventor

mittee of city church called to see Mr.
Edison. The committee had been unable
TO decide whether to equip the church with
lightning rods or not and had sent to Sc

WHAT TO DO.

There is comfort in the knowl-
edge so often expressed that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
kidney remedy, fulfllls every wish in
relieving pain in the back, kidneys,
liver, bladder and every part of the
urinary passages. 1t corrects ina
bility to hold urine and scalding
pain in passing it, or bad effects fol-
lowing use of liquors, wine or beer,
and overcomes that unpleasant nee
essity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to uri-
nate. The mild and the extraordi-
nary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for
its wonderful cures OF the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medi-
cine you should have the best. Sold
by druggists price fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet both sent free

Mary Russell Milford used to declare
that there was no place in England like
her Sunny Berkshire AS to the coun-
try people, thoy were unmatched for their
suavity, courtesy and respectful manners.
Oneday Miss Milford was walking through
pasture with an incredulous London
lady. There was lad driving COW, and
his manners We're to be tested. "Now, y
said Miss Milford, you will see how gal
liant are our country folk. There was a

and the ladies passed through. There was

International Sunday School Lesion for
April 18th.

Subject. The TRANSPORTATION. 2
Matt. I 10. Golden Text, ave
beheld His.glory, the glory Of the
only begotten Of the Father John
Is14.
After the disciples realized that
Jesus was their promised King, he
began to show them that He must
be killed and be raised again the
third day. But they could not
understand such things of their
King, and Peter began to rebuke
Him, saying, "Lord, this shall not
be-" and Jesus answered him. "Get
thee behind Ne, Satan"
As all their hope of the Kingdom
of Israel, and their Messiah, would
end with His death, it seemed nee
esaary to confirm their hope by
Vision of Heaven, attested by a
Voice. And Jesus said to them,
.There be some standing here,
which shall not taste Of death, till
they see the Son Of man coming in
His Kingdom"
Then after six days, or eight, in
Guiding the day of His talk with
them and the day on the mountain,
He took Peter and James and John
into high mountain apart, proba-
bly, Mt. Hermon, to pray. And as
Ha prayed, His face shone as the
sun, and His raiment became white
as the light, SO that it glistened like
snow in the glare of the sun, for BE
was TRANSPORTED or changed from
the earthly to the Heavenly, and the
three disciples had glimpse OF His
Kingdom and glory.
And two men appeared unto
them one was Moses, who had died
about l 500 years before, and whom
God had buried in a grave which no
man knows; and the other was
Elijah, who, without dying, had
gone into Heaven by a whirlwind,
about 900 years before. These men,
not angels. had come back to the
earth to talk with Jesus about His
death which He was going voluntar-
lily to accomplish in Jerusalem.
Notice the great fear and awe
that overcame the three disciples, as
they looked on this wonderful scene
and how Peter, not knowing what
he said, asked to remain there in
glory. See the overshadowing
cloud, which soon wrapped about
them, and listen to the Fathers
voice from out of the cloud, "This
is My beloved Son, in whom l am
well pleased; hear ye Him. And
as the disciples fell on their faces
with fear, Jesus said, "Arise and be
not afraid and looking up they
cav no man, but Jesus only.
They were forbidden to tell what
they had seen and heard until after
His resurrection, and even this
glimpse of the Kingdom did not
make them understand His death,
nor His resurrection, until they
bad seen Him go into Heaven, and
the angels had promised that He
would return to the earth,as He had
already promised.
For His return, the whole sim
cursed creation groans and waits.
"Even we ourselves groan within
ourselves, waiting for the adoption,
to-wit,the redemption of our body"

Professor Foshay has asked that all
teachers desiring to attend the National
education convention, to be held at
Washington, D. c., July 6 to II, send their
names to the superintendent as early as
possible. An offer has been madd by one
railroad company of round. trip tickets at
SS1.75, with $l4 extra for sleeper, the tick
cts to hold good until the last of Au-
gust.
At meeting of principals, held yester-
day afternoon in the Spring-street school
building, it was decided to postpone, for
one week, the teachers meeting, which was
to have taken place at the High school
Monday morning. The postponement was
for the accommodation of teachers who
wish to take advantage of the fact that
Decoration Day comes on Monday, to en-
joy three successive days of rest.
Principals of the city schools have been
notified that all subscriptions for the
American Boy battleship fund must be
handed in at the superintendent5s office
not later than Saturday morning.
The city schools will be closed Monday,
