Crossing swords In the House.

Away back in the seventies, during
the famous deadlock fight on the civil

ment of congress was under discussion
one Saturday afternoon. Ben Butler,

while Randall opposed it vigorously.

about that time that the bear would
come out from his winters sleep lean

him up. lie was a great traveller, and
before the fishing season ended he would
be heard of from one end of the lake to
the other. They could tell that it was
one bear that did the business, for this
one had a foot with some Of the toes
gone, and the tracks about the camp al
ways showed this mark.
''This bear run his rig up and down
the lake for three years without get
ting into trouble. He came to grief at
last in q very queer way. A man NAM
ed Silas Thompson, camping alone on
the east shore of the lake, was out on
the ice lninding his lines one March
day and thinking how he would have
to go home sooner than he had intended,
owing to an accident that had happened
that morning at his camp. In some way
he had dropped his rum jug and broken
it in two or three places. There was
bottle with some molasses in it standing
by the fireplace and by grabbing up the
jug quickly and holding it over the bot
tie he managed to save quart or two
of rum in the shape of black strap
that's the state of Maine name for rum
and molasses mixed together, and it's
an enticing drink. He had just made
up his mind to go to the camp to try
little of the mixture when he saw
bear coming out on the ice from that
direction, and the bear was staggering
drunk. 1t had broken into the camp and
was drunk on Silas Thompson rum
and molasses. The bear didn't seem to
know where he was at or where he
wanted to go, and while he foundered
round on the ice Thompson made cir
cult past him, got to the camp and came
back with his gun and shot him. 1t
proved to be the bear that had robbed
the fishermen's camps so long. He died
happy, and the fishermen's troubles
were ended so far as he was concerned.

CIV of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eter-
nal life. Jude II.
In reviewing the life OF Him who
spake as never man spake, who loved
us and gave Himself for us, who was
delivered for our ofenses, and raised
for our justification, and through
whom, by faith, being justified, we
have peace with Cod what better
theme could we take than his last
words.
It is said that one half the world
doesn't know how the other halt
lives. For instance, in heather lands,
through ignorance, the sick are left to
die. or are treated worse thar death
A sick woman was given broth from
her daughters hand, and the stump
thrust into boiling oil to prevent
bleeding. A hole is cut in the foot to
let out fever. For consumption sui
phur is burned on the chest, and skin
diseases are treated by applying red
hot iron. The doctor accuses some
one as a witch causing the disease,
who is tortured or burned to death.
A woman S life is worse than dog 8,
and a girl baby not worth saving.
Girls are sold for marriage at six
wears. and are mothers at thirteen.
There are fifty millions of women
shut up in the Zenanas of India.
What blessing is the Gospel to them
when they can hear it. How they
sieze upon hope in the next life,
having none in this.
And with what force would the last
words of our Lord come to us II we
only realized how the other half of the
world lives.
Whose is the money that we call
ours? If we are not using it for Him,
are we robbing him' He says, "But
We have robbed me. And he also

and defraud Him?
Any child could get up a club in
any village, and support at least one
worker in heather lands, and many an
individual could support such worker.

That We love one another, as l have
loved you. Greater love hath no man
than this, that man lay down his

Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate

TO get rid Of.
There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures

effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
cifie cures Catarrh permanently, forit is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.
