the municipality assumed control. In
1898 it was decided to make a further
investment. Bonds were issued for
100000, and the services of Col Geo. E.
Waring-one of the best authorities in
the world-were secured for the i'm
provement of the system and the con-
struction of a complete sewerage sys-
TEN. The work was performed and he
subsequently pronounced the sewerage
system of that city as perfect as mod
ern engineering could make it, and also
declared that the water system was as
nearly complete and perfect as that of
any city of it's size in the country.
The New York Journal in a recent

WANT TO FIGHT FOR ENGLAND

Chicago, Nov. 5.-The British consul
in this city, w. Wyndham, has adj
dressed a communication to the Times
Herald saying that the number of APP
plicants who wish to serve in the
British army is so great that he is I'M
able personally to answer them, and
for the information of those ignorant
of the fact he says that no volunteers
have been called for. He also denies

two men who wished to enlist to go TO
Canada to join the Canadian regiment,

willing even to lose his life for the
Masters sake, or in battle by the Sa-
viors side. Love makes labor light,
and sacrifice easy, and service the
most glorious thing in the world. The
Lord himself came not to be ministered
unto but to minister ''Whosoever
will lose his life for my sake, shall find
it in life everlasting"
He who recognizes and lives this
truth has the missionary spirit-the
spirit of the Master.
God would have his people give for
his work. We read in the text that
God loves a cheerful giver. The last
two words are TRANSACTIONS of two
Greek words which have been trans
planted into our language-they are
hilarOn and dothen-or in English, hi
larious and donor. God loves a cheer
full giver, and men love him too. We
should give for the upbuilding of the
church not only with religious regu-
larity, but also with religious hilar-
ity,-with gladness,-with thanksgiv
ing that our Heavenly Father en-
trusts us with gifts which will bring
us blessings as we use them in His
service.
There are four financial fallacies to
which 1 call your attention. First
that a rich man is more able to give
than a poor man. He is able to give
more, but is not more able to give.
The one is as able to give his nickel
as the other to give his thousands.
Second,-that a rich man is under
greater obligation to give than is the
poor man. Let the give of his abun-
dance, and the other of his poverty is
the teaching of the word. Third,-that
the Widows mite is more acceptable
to the Lord than can be any gift of a
rich man. God looks at the heart, not
at the gold. Fourth,-that we should
pay our debts before We give for Gods
work. That would release many rich
men, would it not? And after all, we
owe our greatest debt to God. and to
Him should the first payment be
made.
Grasping is the foe of every grace.
May we have more and more of the
mind of Christ-that we may do much
for Him because we love Him much.

the purpose of killing a few dozen
ducks. They reached the ella river
about daylight and naturally crossed it
where they should not have done so
and soon found themselves lost in the
streets of an Indian village. Which
ever way they turned they could go but
a few yards before they ran into
stump fence. After trying vainly for
an hour they began to treat with the
Indians. The natives seemed to be
dumb. All they could say was, mo
sabe.' A few pieces of money had a
wonderful effect and loosened tongues
that rapidly came to a knowledge of
English.
/ An Indian was hired to guide them to
the lake where they made camp and
prepared for the sport. An agreement
was made with McClintock that owing
to his length he was to act as retriever,
it being argued that he was so tall he
could wade across the lake without get
ting wet. He and Stuhr went up one
side of the lake and Dowell went up the
other. Brooks set his slip-nOose at the
mouth of the lake. Billy thought he
saw duck and killed it. He whistled
for the retriever, but he was nowhere
to be seen. He waded out and got his
own duck which was mud-hen. Then
he got another. Then he heard shoot
ing up the lake and presently couple
more of the birds came flying his way
and he got them. McClintock and Stuhr
had been shooting at them all the fore
noon. The birds finally felt sorry for
the two sportsmen in their embarrass-
ment and moved on to their death.
Eventually all found their way back
to camp. McClintock said that Stuhr
shot one bird and was so sure it was
duck that he paid the Indian a dollar
to wade out and get it. When he found
it was a mud-hen he was so mad he
threw it away. McClintock claimed to
be real sport and never pretended to
shoot anything except on the wing.
Stuhr says that McClintock saw what
he thought was a duck and waded out
to where a mud-hen was swimming
around in a circle with one leg and one
wing broken, and placing the muzzle
at the birds ear, fired. The bird lodged
and the SCOTSMAN thinking it had a
charmed life went away and left it,
still swimming around in a circle. He
sat down on the bank and was going
10 walt I'LL II starved TO uedln, Out
Stuhr coaXed him into camp.
The rest of the party told Billy Dow
ell his birds were valuable, as he could
sell the wing feathers to the local milli-
ners. He therefore, brought them
home and gets up early every morning
and visits the various millinery stores
hoping to dispose of his plumes.
The story got out in some unaccount
able manner as no one ever told it, and
when the sportsman came in they went
straight to a local restaurant for their
suppers. While they were talking poll
tics a couple of well-dressed gentlemen
came in and asked the waiter if he had
any mud-hen fricassee. They went
over to the Anheuser to get a cigar and
heard a couple of tourists asking the
lunch counter man for a mud-hen on
toast. Mud-hens are all the rage and
everybody wants them. AS a game bird
they are all right. They are durable
and one bird will so a long way. AS
for flavor, Il mud-hen has more of it
than it knows what to do with.

A Vision of the End
BY Too-QUA-sTEE.

once beheld the end OF tlme
It's stream had ceased to be.
The drifting years. all soiled with crime.
Lay In a filthy sea.
The prospect DER the reeking waste
Was plain from where stood.
From shore to shore the wrecksge faced
The su rfsce OF the food.
There all that men were wont to prize
When time was flowing on.
Seemed here to sink and there to rise
In formless ruin blown.
In Shiny undulations rolled
The glory Of the brave;
The scholars fame. the rich mans gold,
Alike were on the wave.
There government. "a monstrous form.
(The sea groaned meath the load,
A helpless mass blown by the storm
On grlmy biIlows rode.
The bodies of great syndlcates
And corporations, trusts
Proud combinations. and e'en states.
All beasts OF savage lusts,
With all the monsters ever bred
In civilizations womb.
Lay scattered, floating. dead.
Throughout that liquid tomb.
1t was the reign of general death,
Wide as the sweep OF eye,
Save two vile ghosts that still drew breath
Because they could not die.
Ambition climbed above the waves
From wreck to wreck he strode
And as they sank to watery graves
He on to glory rode.
And there was Greed-immortal Creed
just from the shores OF time.
OF all hell's hosts he took the lead
A monarch of the slime
He neither sank below. nor rose
Above the brewing food;
But swan full length. down to his nose,
And steered where'er he would.
Weatever wreckage met mis- snout

Or floating empire. or redoubt,
Or drifting heather town.

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
A White Man Either Falls or Jumps
 From Train.

The south bound Cotton Belt pas senger train No. 3 that arrived h this city last night was minus one passenger. The facts as learned are about as follows: A white man, whose name was Hoover, purchased a ticket at Como, his destination be
 ing Maiden, Mo. When he boarded the train he appeared 70 be under the influence of liquor. The con. dLctor took up his ticket while the nan was Tn bis seat in the coach. Between the stations of Como and Lotta the conductor missed the man from the train. He stopped tbe train and backed up. A saort dis
 tance back they found the man ly- ing on the side of the railroad track with his head crushed. The train did not pass over Lim. He either jumped or fell from the running train. He was picked up by the
