Value Of scrap Iron.

One of tho interesting. almost
paradoxical, results of existing con-
ditions is discovered in the prices
that are paid for what may be called
scrap iron. In other words, the rail-
ways are finding that there is almost
. profit in taking up their old rails
and substituting for them new steel
rails. OLD iron rails are worth a.
much as pig iron. almost as much a.
new steel are. While this seems alb
surd, At least, to superficial thinking.
yet when it is remembered that one
of the greatest embarrassments our
manufacturers are meeting with - in
securing . supply Of raw material.
then it is easy to understand Why
there is no absurdity in the state
ment and no real paradox in the cit
uation.

Paying Back his T0rmentor.

A visitor to the circus one day
leased one of the elephants by offer
ing it bun, and, just as the animal
was going to take it, put it back out
of his reach. This he did several
times, and at last the elephant natur-
ally began to feel rather angry, and
finally he refused even to look at tho
Gun or to attempt to take it. Later
in the afternoon the elephant was
being marched around the show
ground, when in the crowd he spied
his tormentor. He reached out his
trunk and calmly appropriated the
mans hat. He held it in his trunk
for some time, and offered it to it's
owner. But as soon az he attempted
to take it he pulled it back in the
same way a. the man had done with
the bun. This he did two or three
times; but. after holding it out the
last time, he drew it back and swal-
lowed it, much to tho mans disgust.

History records the existence. Of a
billy goat, dear to the heart Of his mas.
ter, but generally objected to by the
community on account OF his buck
ing proclivities. Nothing was ex-
empt from his attack, and success
only made him moro and moro ag-
gressive. One day he felt unusually
pugnaciocs, and in this frame Of
mind he wandered down on the rail-
road. Just then an express train
came in sight. It was drawn by the
most powerful engine in the coun-
try. called General Prosperity. Billy
saw it and prepared for the battle Of
his life. As it approached he got
himself in position and bucked. The
result was disastrous. Billy lay
bleeding and dead by the roadside,
and General Prosperity, with its
train, passed on. Hearing Of Billy's
death, his owner strolled down to
whore he lay, and thus so!iloquizsd,
ooh. Billy, why did you try it! Billy
you were q nice goat; you were the
bravest goat I ever saw; but, blame

It may surprise some of our read.
ere to learn that a college was found.
ed in Manila before Harvard or Yale
earlier, indeed, than the common
school of New England. st. Joseph q
college was founded in 1896, and
graduated its first class in. 1901.
Prior to 1768 it was in charge and
under control of tho Jesuites, who
were made trustees Of the institution
by it donors ut the time Of it, crea-
ton. When the Jesuites were ex
PEELED frem Spain and its colonies
the governor general declared the
property of the college forfeited and
converted the buildings into barracks
for the soldiers. An appeal was
taken 20 tho crown, the action of the
governor was reversed, and the
college placed underline control of
tho Metropolitan church of Manila.
At the present time this most ancient
seat OF learning in the new America
is largely devoted to medicine and

Taken at HIS Word.

Evan P. Howell tells . good story
about Southernsr who brought suit
against the South Carolina railroad
for damages to his property. He
lost the case in the Superior court,
but insisted upon carrying it to the
Supreme court. when he represented
his own cause. He began his argu-
ment By saying whimsically;
"May it please the court. there is
an old French adage which says: a
man who is his own lawyer hath u
q fool for client.
The next week the Supreme court
pronounced its decision, which was
adverse to the Southerner. He was
in Augusta at the time, but received
the announcement of his second and
final disappointment BY means Of .
telegram sent him by q prominent
Judge who Was an intimate friend of
his. The telegram read q follows:

It might greatly shock some of our
people, who are tenderfooted on the
question or public expense, to read
the recommendations of Jefferson, to
the effect that surplus money in the
federal treasury should be
distributed among the States to be
used for educating the peoples child
rem. Pursuing the advice of Jeffer-
son, there were actually given
to tho States, to be added to their
school funds, several millions of dol
lars out of the surplus revenues in
the United States treasury, this dur
ing Jackson's second administration.
The man who wrote that all men
have inalienable rights to life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness, also
held that all mems children must
have placed within their reach, by
the state, the means of obtaining
such education az would fit them to

The Future Life.

I feel in myself the future life. ]
am like forest once cut down, the
new shoots are stronger and livelier
than ever. I am rising, I know,
toward the sky. The sunshine is on
my head. The earth gives me it's
generous sap, but heaven lights me
With reflection of unknown worlds.
You say the soul is nothing but the
resultant of the bodily powers. Why,
then, is my soul more luminous
when my bodily powers begin to
fail? Winter is on my head, but
eternal spring is in my heart. There
I breathe at this hour the fragrance
of the lilacs, the violets and the roses
as at twenty years. The nearer I az
proach the end, the palmer I hear
around me the immortal symphonies
of the worlds which invite me: It is
marvellous, yet simple. 1t is fairy
tale, and it is history. For half a
century I have been writing my
thoughts in prose and in verse; his
tory, philosophy, drama, romance,
tradition, satire, ode, and song-I
have tried it all. But I feel I have
not said the thousandth part of what
is in me. When I 60 down to the
grave I can say, like SO many others,
II have finished my days work"
My days work will begin again
tho next morning. The tomb is not
a blind alley; it is thoroughfare. It
closes on the twilight; it opens with
the dawn.-Victor Hugo

Rev. Albert E. Jones, preaching at
the First Baptist church in Kansas
City, gave blood-curdling descrip.
ton of the evils Of Saloons Extracts
are given here to illustrate the ex-
tremist's point Of view:
"The saloon was bora from the
bottoml ess pit, and hell dates its
calendar from its birth. The temple
Of God is the family. and drink is the
profaner Of this temple. There are
some who dare to say these things
and say them in the face of tho fact
of their liability to lose their posi-
tons, their social standing, end their
living. It is a strange fact that the
men and women who make war on
the liquor traffic are more sneered
at than any other class Of rsformerp.
Any attempt at curtailing the power
of the saloon is met by almost every
class of people with sneers, and jeers.
and ridicule. The leaders of the
churches laugh at every new move to
lessen the traffic of the saloon;
legislators look on it with contempt,
and Christian voters do not nav it 80
much as the cold respect of passing
glance. Let any state adopt re-
solution prohibiting the sale of in
toxicants within its borders. and at
once it becomes butt Of ridicule.
The federal government laughs at it
and the people hold it up to scorn.
Domestic tranquility is promised by
the constitution, but the enemy of
domestic tranquility and therefore
unconstitutional. If the Christian
had political status, he could be-
come powerful; but he has no political
status. He goes with every party,
and is member Of all parties, and
assists in their nefarious practices of
all of them. In the face of every
3runkard the political parties CT to-
lay see their indictment of murder.
It is the duty of the Christian ele-
nent of the parties to cut loose from
hem and as Christians fight the traf-
ic along the lines mapped out by the
Nazarene. At the door of every
Christian voter who has cast his
ballot for the parties as they now
'xist lay the crime of assisting the
lrunkard in his downfall. Let US
stand together rs Christians and
md fight this thing to the last ditch.
The sooner it 10 put on this basis the
,ettsr it will be for the kingdom of
iod and the alleged members of it.
