dIu SSIlultIc uCNOtlOil, put oCi NlSC tAiiI counted in the formation of character because it was hard, and service that counted Tn the upbuildlng of the church because it was a double portion.
 He who weakens the obligations of tI1e pledge by word or example, by care lessness or thoughtlessness, does a yrievous wrong not only to his own soul, but to all his brethren, for he is selling the Christian Endeavor birth right for mean mess of pottage of ease and selshness and personal com- fort.
 2nd But again, double portion of loyalty is the Christian Endeavorers s birthright. Once more let us look at the subject historically. The first socie- ty was established to promote the 1oy- atty and the allegiance of the young people of their own church, to make them more faithful in the service of the Williston church of Portland, Me, to which they belonged. It was a pastors device to help him in his church work. and to upbuild his own church, and ev- cry society that has been formed since that day has had the very same under living purpose. Most of them, am glad to say, have grandly realized the char acter of their birthright and have full filled their mission. From all parts of the world comes cheering news of the loyalty of the Endeavorers to their own churches. Statistics obtained from very wide sources and with great care on more than one occasion have proved that nearly twice as many active En- deayorers attend the prayer meeting and the Sunday evening service of their own churches as of all the members of the church to which they belong, and every sympathetic pastor who has af- fectionately labored with his young

case. He asked, "Did Crowley exagger-
ate in any instance, in his evidence?' ~
Mr.. Vandegrift closed the Govern
ment's side at 3.25. when H. H. Ward
took up the defense and made an excel
lent argument.
MIR. Ward stated that Mr.. Vandegrift
asserted that the defense would appeal
ID the sympathy Of the jury, which he
positively denied.
"NOw, gentlemen Of the jury" said
Ward, I'VE appeal to you as we appeal
to the court, believing you are an intelli-
gent and honorable body and will take
the evidence for its full value.
"Our appeal to the court was simply
because the testimony was tending as
much to innocence as guilt. As we
have proved Roberts wrong in one
instance, on his oath, which was proved
by Capt. Rand's testimony. does any of
his testimony bear any weight?
1--WE have proven that Crowley and
Roberts witnesses for the Government
were both unreliable, one an ex.prisoner
the other a perjurer before your most
honorable body. Crowley was impri-
soned for fighting, gambling and keep
ing Badger house. What is the worth
of such testimony as theirs
ut is stated by my learned opponent
that persons had purchased arms and
ammunition which was secretly re-
moved. What of it? 1t is a well
known and uncontradicted fact. We
also know it was necessary to do it Sc
cretly SO us to deceive the ever vigilant
Spanish spies; if they had not deceived
them they would have held them for a
long while"
Mr.. Ward said it was a perfectly legiti-
mate enterprise and that the insurgents
in Cuba could have bought ammunition
and arms in this country and anybody
could have carried them to the said
island without breaking any statute law.
The government has not shown that a
single man, from the Fox, I.aurada or
Dauntless, who went on said voyage.
stayed in Cuba to fight or on any other
purpose.
All orders were no more than indus
trial orders.
Mr.. Ward also said, that if this noble
army of Is men went down with the
intentions of fighting they were well
equipped. He named the following ar
ticles taken and commented on them,
viz: 2GOO guns, l44 guns to each man;
II rcvolvcrs l5S,0O cartridges, 400 to
each man; 5000 lbs. of ammunition, 800
lbs. to man; 2 cannons, but no can
noneer; 80 lbs. of vasoline, which were
very needfu after carrying SO many mu-
nitions of war; 6 shovels, 90 bundles of
hardware, 10 pack saddles and harness.
The defense argument was principally
that the cargo was shipped to Cuba for
Others, instead Of those who embarked
on the Laurada.
Court closed at 4.35 p. m., until 1920
this morning, when Senator Gray
will give his argument for the defense.
1t is thought the jury will render its de-
cision tomorrow.

Stories of Henry George.

The activity and power of intellect
Of the late Henry George did not prevent
observation-disclosures. A writer in The Re-
view of Reviews says that this quality
was "the jest of his circle"
Names escaped him. I heard him say
to Mr.. Dayton, the candidate Oh his
ticket for comptroller and one OF the
best known men in New York:
"You won't mind it, hope, if I for
get your name. am SO conscious Of the
danger of getting names wrong that
when the need OF remembering comes it
rattles me, and away the name goes.
He came late to a dinner at the Lotus
club, where he was to discuss with some
friends the question of his being cam
didate in apprehended contingencies. 1t
was raining, and he took from his pocket
the slippers with which Mrs. George
had insisted Oh providing him in case
he should get his feet wet, and as he
put them OH he apologized with honest
gravity:
81 lost time locking for man kept
asking after as Kinsella, and it turned
out his right name was Mct.arity. At
Least think that was what be told me
it was when l found him.
But there was no observation-disclosures
When discussion Of the business in hand
ensued; he was keen and wide awake.

Rifle Etiquette and Surly Hospitality of

say that was one Of themselves. Tri-

PERSIAN RULERS JEWELS.
Fabulous Tale of the Costly Gems In the
Peacock Throne Room.

Fabulous Tale Of the Costly Gems In the
Peacock Throne Room.
Who has not heard of the Persian
jewels-theit glory, their number,
their priceless worth? When the doors
were unlocked and was taken into the
peacock throne room, found myself
surrounded by mass of wealth I'M
eoualed in the world. Nowhere are such
treasures, but nowhere also IS there
such an accumulation of rubbish. l
will, however, dismiss the rubbish and
refer only to the treasures. Down each
side of the room were chairs entirely
covered with sheeted gold, and at inter
vals were tables of gold, nailed, L shud-
dered to note, with the cOmmonest OF
black headed tacks.
At the far end of the room was the
wonder of the world, the peacock
throne. Whether it is one Of the seven
thrones of the great mogul and was
brought from Delhi don't know, but
it is certainly the most costly ornament
that the eye, of man can look upon. l
inspected it most carefully. 1t is entire
ly of silver, great camp bed structure,
but modelled in lovely designs. 1t is in
crusted from end to end and from top to
bottom with diamonds.
At the back is star of brilliants that
makes you blink. The rug on which the
shah sits is edged with precious stones,
and the pillow on which he reclines is
covered with pearls. could keep on
writing about the dazzling beauties of
the throne of the king of kings, but 1
never could get beyond declaring it to
be superb jewel. Some people have
valued it at e5, 900, 900. lis real value
is between 1000, 900 and e3, 600, 600.
But, though the peacock throne is
the magnum opus of the Persian crown
jewels, it by no means extinguishes the
magnificence of the other treasures.
Who can attempt, however, to recount
the number of bejeweled arms, the roy
al arms, the flashing aigrets, the trays
piled up with cut and uncut stones and
the bowls filed with pearls that you
can run through your fingers like a
handful of rice? Every one has heard of
the Daria-i- i-Nur. or Sea of Light, sister
diamond to the Kohinoor, Or Mountain
