Annual Session ut Ranger.
Ranger. Texas, December 10-This place

religious matters. The Abilene presbytery
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church
convened at their church on December 4
1899 closed December o. with Rev A A.
Baker in chair as moderator and Rev. Il.
w. Burge stated clerk. There were present
about forty representative ministers ana
in site of the rain they worked in har-
mony and expeditiously completing their
work in about two days. Today Sunday
the beautiful little church in Ranger was
dedicated to the cause of Christ IN an en-
cellent sermon by Rev. j. A. Ward "
D., of Avo. Texas.
The expression of the presbytery was
that the cause in the district was IN the
main prosperous and satisfactory TO potA
people and preachers.
The most important resolution OF the
session perhaps was one asking the chein-
ist of Lebanon college to SO amend MS
chapter on narcotics as to Include the con-
sideration of cigarettes.
The delegates freely expressed them
selves against Sunday travel or deiegate'
TO and from their sessions.
The presbytery was a success. A body
of fine looking men with seemingly their
hearts In their labors. Ranger furnished
large. well behaved audiences and hos
pitably entertained all. opening the doofs
of their homes and hearts to them ana
bade them God-speed come AGAIN
The president OF the missionary society,
Miss Sallie Young. was present and wroheu
up splendid entertainment by the niue
tots of town, followed by free VIII OIL

HOW TO FALL.
Trainer of Gymnasts Tells How One May
Tumble without Danger.

1unDlc "lluOut DdIScl'
"About the first thing that / teach
my pupils" said trainer of circus
gymnasts, "is how to fall; that, you
know, is the secret of the great head
dive from the roof, which remains up
to date the greatest invention in the
way of gymnastic tricks that the
world has SEEN"
at looks almost too perilous to be
interesting"
"But it is not in the least danger
Gus, if one only knows how to fall, !"
he continued. Now, if the unframed
performer should attempt to fall in a
net from any height whatever he
would be almost sure to break some
bones.
"Should he stretch out his arm to
save himself, he would be very likely
to break it in two places. Should he
light on his heels, he might break his
leg, or more likely pitch forward and
break his jaw.
"But just fill your lungs with air
and hold them full, double yourself
up into a knot, leaving no limb free,
and fall on the back of your shoulders
Just above the shoulder blades, and
you can fall from what height you like
and come to no hurt
"This explains the cannon and
catapult tricks. Why, once we at
tempted the catapult trick in hall
where the roof was so low that we had
to sink the catapult below the floor.
The gymnas forgot all about having
his net lowered a corresponding dis
lance, and when shot $50 feet forward
and upward at the same time-didn't
he come down underneath the net
and land slap-bang on his shoulders
on the bare floor?
ave picked him up for dead. You
may hardly believe me, but it had only
knocked the wind out of him and
shaken him up a bit. The next night
he was performing as usual.
"That just shows what the muscles
of the shoulders, together with an
elastic cushion of air in the lungs,
will resist. Then, of course, in the
case Of gymnasts, the muscles become
as hard as iron, and furnish a great
protection for the bones."-Boston

Very Submissive.

A minister tells of a little girl who
had been naughty. When bedtime
came her mother said to her:
Now Mabel, when you say your
prayers, be sure to ask God TO help
you not be a naughty little girl.
Mabel promised that she would add
this petition to her prayers SO when
she had finished her usual form she
spoke az follows:
And now, o God. please keep Ma
Bile from being naughty little girl .
There was pause, then she concluded
quantity: Nevertheless, Thy will
not mine, be done !"-The Inland.

FARMERS
Should Consider This and See The
Value Of Advertising.

Most of our merchants know the
value of advertising aud profit by 1t,
but our farmers have not as yet fully
appreciated the merits of advertising
their products aud their wants. Dur
ing the past year several farmers
have taken a small space for the year.
One, for instance, did so and sdver-
tised lot of sheep which we're soon
sold next he advertised some pure
bred chickens: they were soon all
disposed of, and uext he advertised
cow, etc Occasionally he will sdver-
tise for something he wants to hnN
instead of something he wants to sell,
aud thus he will keep in touch at all
times with those who will be Of value
t. him.
Another farmer says he regards the
advertising columns of the local
newspaper as the best medium either
for buying or selling. IL he has
stack of hay or a milch cow for sale,
or wishes to buy a few shoats or
little corn, he thinks il wise TO spend
few cents in advertising these
things, telling a thousand person.
where he would not he able to tell
dozen personally. If by advertising
one more intending purchaser is in
duced to attend a sale, the additional
amount Obtained by his presence will
frequently more than pay the cost OF
advertising .-Ex.
