farmer. but makes speciality of poul-
try raising. Since he has owned the
farm three old cats left by the former
tenant have hung about the place in
senii-wild state. AT first Barnett tried
to tame the animals, but they repulsed
all friendly overtures and took up their
abode i'll the barn. However. rs they
did not harm the chickens they were
not molested.
The other day, while Barnett was on
his barn roof replacing some shingles,
he heard loud cuckling in the yard
below. Looking down. he saw num-
Der OF his chickens huddled together
and seemingly greatly agitated Then
he discovered large hawk just pre-
pairing to make a swoop. Barnett was

THE SITUATION MOST GRAVE.


"If France Wants War Her Wish VIII
Doubtless Be Gratified.'
London, Feb. 21.-It Is asserted on
good authority that the Royal Niger
company has been instructed, after try
ing all peaceable means, to compel the
retirement Of the French from British
territory by force. The sultanate of
Sokotofs feudatory of the company,
and was recently placed under British
protection.
The situation Is regarded as extreme
ly grave. Great Britain's forces in the
protectorate district number between
5000 and 5000 men under British officers
in Lagos and the gold coast Hinterland
and at the three separate points of
British and French territorial disputes,
Boria, Wac and Argungu.
The Daily Mail says 1t has received
confirmation Of the news from Sokoto.
The Times, commenting edtorially on
the news from Sokoto. says it cannot
credit the report, and reproves the
levity of the French press regarding
grave situation. The presence of
French force at Argungu, The Times
declares. would be so fragrant a breach
Of any possible construction of the Say
Barua agreement Of 1890 (Anglo- French
treaty at Busah) that nothing but its
immediate withdrawal could avert the
most deplorable consequences"
Other papers publish similar articles
urging Lord Salisbury to intimate plain
ly that Great Britain's limit of "squeez-
ability" has been reached.
The Morning Post says: "If France
is really making deliberate plans to an
mex British territory by military occu-
patton this can only imply that she de-
slres war with England. In that case
her wish will doubtless be gratified."

The Bounty OF God.

Rev A. N. Keigwin preached an inter-
esting sermon in West Presby yterian church
OH Sunday morning, from the 10th chapter
of Kings, ard 18th verse: Besides that
which solomon gavo her of his royal
bounty" In his PREDATORY remarks he
alluded to the fact that the greater mum.
Dor of professed infides when they were
placed in danger Or came to die called Oh
God for aid or mercy. He also referred to
the visit OF the Queen Of Sbeba to Solomon
and her desire to learn wisdom from him,
as we'll as something of the nature Of the
God he worshpped.
She was astonished at what she saw and
heard, and declared that the truth had
never half been told her. Tho gifts she
presented to Solomon, he supposed, were
nearly equal in purchasing power to five
millions of dollars of our money. In this
connection he spoke of tho disposition Of
the ladies OF the present day to get bar
gains, aud their desire to get something
valuable for little or nothing Hence the
trading stamp craze and the baker s dozen
given to attract customers. In most cases
tho price of the Inducements held out
to secure trade would be found added to
to tho cost of the articles Persons must
therefore be careful if they wish to escape
being cheated. In referring to what were
styled remarkable answers to prayers he
said, this sentence was II misnomer, there
were no remarkable answers to prayers,
that it would be remarkable II prayers
were not answered, as God 5 bounties were
nnunberable.
lie likoned Gods blessings to the flow of
the waters of the Niagara river, which had
continued to flow for hundreds and thous.
ands of years and would continue to flow
for centuries to come. God bounties were
wonderful, surprising human comprehcn-
sion.
He also referred to tho disposition of
men to accumulate money, to add dollar to
dollar, to buy houses and lands, and even
costly yachts. Even in death Gods mercy
and bounty were wonderful. Those who
had been prospered he thought would do
we'll to give liboraily to all charitable OBJ
jects 1t was their duty to contribute to
aid in relieving suffering, and to advance
Gods kingdom on earth.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Feb. I.-There was

counsel was arguing Mrs. Gallagher

to be intimidated by anybody You can
do to me as the deputies did to the poor
working man; you can shoot me, but
you can't intimidate."
