Mount Carroll, Illinois, stating that
her mother was very i'll and not ex-
pected to live. He departed for that
place on the first train.
Rev. Burtsch, the lew United
Brethren minister filled his first
round of appointments last Sunday.
The impression produced upon the
people was favorable and we believe
we have two good ministers for the
coming year and we hope great good
may be accomplished.
Mrs. Potter, of Jamestown, New
York, is visiting with her sister,
Mrs. Wilson, and her niece, Mrs w.
l.. Swaney, and family. She will
make quite an extended visit and get
acquainted with western people and
western ways, as this is her first trip
so far to the westward.
Our people have been listening for
some time for the wedding bells prom
ised by the Gray journal more than
a month ago. The two weeks have
more than doubled themselves and
still they do not ring. Either the
journal made mistake in its reckon
ing or Cupld's darts failed to bring
down its victim.
In honor of her mother and aunt,
who are visiting her, Mrs. Doctor
Beers invited a number of our ladies
to her home, Friday afternoon.
Twenty-eigh were present and a
very pleasant afternoon was spent.
They swooped down on Mrs. Beers
unsewed carpet rags and the rapidity
with which they changed from heaps
on the tloor'to neat balls was astonish-
ing. An elegant supper was served
in which fried chicken was abundant.
Mrs. Beers has the happy faculty Of
making each individual guest feel at
ease and all went home feeling that
they had had one Of the pleasantest
afternoons of their lives.
A. f. Greenwaldt and family came
up from Audubon, Friday evening
and visited at the home Of Louie
Groteluschen until Saturday evening
when they took the train for Clayton
county, this State, his old home, to
visit with parents and relatives and
old-time friends. We predict for them
a pleasant visit. The happiest years
of the writer's life were passed on the
soil of said county. There, years ago,
we welded the roo and taught the
young idea how to shoot "and there
we chose our life partner and entered
matrimonial sea-" The best. friends
we ever had lived there, and to us
the name of this part of Gods foot
stool is always accompanied by pleas
ant recollections, and we hope Mr..
Greenwaldt will enjoy his sojourn
there as we should if permitted by
providence to visit it again.

Owed HIS Dinner to a 8ueIe

While the United States Steamer
Brooklyn is being repaired shore leave
is given in turn to patches Of sailors.
One man, who lives 10 this city on the
East side and who was allowed to re-
main with his family for two or three
days, invited a shipmate to take dinner
with him last Sunday. Unfortunately
the shipmate lost the address, and
could remember only the name Of the
street. Reaching the street he wan
dered up and down, asking every other
person he met If they knew the house
where sailor Of the Brooklyn lived.
None knew. The man. nonplussed,
was about to give up the search, when
he observed youth sitting on q stoop
amusing himself with an old battered
bugle. A thought struck the sailor.
"Lend me that minute,n he said to
the young man. as he grasped the horn.
Putting it to his lips he sounded with
all his might the dinner call OF the
Brooklyn. Sure enough, two or three
seconds later from window not fifty
yards away, o bead was thrust. and a
strong listy voice called tut: t.Ship
ahoyl Full speed ahead up here. Mess
has been waiting half an hour for you"

A Comedy of Errors.
Lewiston (Me.) Journal.

Lewiston (Me.) Journal.
There was an accident on Portland
street the other day and this is how il
happened: A tramp walking up the
street saw benevolent looking wheel
man riding down and started to head
him off. Just then a dog on the same
side OF the street noticed cat on the
opposite side and made for 1t. The
dog didn't notice the tramp and the
wheelman took no account of the dog.
The result was that the dog went be-
tween the legs of the tramp and rolled
that individual over on his back. The
wheelman struck dog and tramp, and
took header over them. The wheel.
man struck frantically at the dog and
his blow landed on the nose of the
tramp, while the dog made an assault
on the tramp, and missing him made
life exciting for the wheelmsn. At
last they untangled themselves and the
tramp and the wheelman trailed bad
language one up and the other down
the street, while the dog stood and
growled at both. Meanwhile the cat
emerged from q hole in the lumber pile
where she had taken refuge and watch
cd the three with evident interest.

rrne Friendship.

True friendship is born from true
character. He or she who is true to self
is true to everybody. Those who prove
themselves to be always loyal. always
true, frank and upright toward us, yet
kind-not afraid to compliment as and
not afraid to reprove us for our own
good-are what Alcott beautifully
terms them, tsThe leaders of the bosom,
being more ourselves that we are. and
wecompliment our affections in theirs. !"
Love is the synonym Of God, and friend
ship is SO closely akin to 1t that love
clothes 1t In its own beauty. II We were
more earnest in exercising the true
spirit of religion. true friendship would
not be such rare thing, and he world
would be made the brighter and truer.

verse.

copy of the Constitution In one OF my

so often that / know what am talking

"You have heard 1t quoted wrong
every time you heard the free in it."
After they had found the good and
reliable old book and all the rest of the
authorities, the uncle ungraciously
gave up. But he hated to do so. II
seems impossible to correct that wrong
impression. The boy was right. Yet

Topic For the Week Beglnning Sept.
10, "An Early Epworth Lea
guer'-Text, II Tim. iii, 1O-17.

'sFrom child thou hast known the
Holy Scriptures" When Paul visited
Antioch, in Pisidia, Lystia, Iconium
and Derbe on his first missionary tour,
there was a boy in the crowds which
listened to the Christian missionary q
words who was deeply impressed by the
new doctrines, and especially by the
meekness and patience with which the
preacher endured the prosecutions by
which his very life was threatened by
the mob.
On second journey to the same place
Paul found this young man Timothy
and took him as travelling companion
and helper in his life work as travel
ing evangelist.
The two letters Of the apostle written
10 his ''son in the gospel" which we
have In the Bible, are Of great value to
ne at this time, as they must have been
to Timothy when he received them.
They do more than show the tender
love Of the aged master for his pupil.
They reveal principles of divine truth
in different phases and In new applica-
tions not SO fully treated in any other
part Of the Bible.
Timothy had a godly mother. Eu-
nice, and grandmother, Lois. His ia
ther was Greek. From earliest boy
hood the services of the synagogue had
made him familiar with the Hebrew
Scriptures, and he had earnest faith In
the promises of God that a Messiah
should come to redeem Israel He was a
boy who by his own choice inclined to
the pure and elevating things of his
Jewish lineage rather than to the vices
and customs of his heathen surround
ings and Grecian parentage.
He is good type of the young Chris
tian manhood Of all lands and times.
He was earnestly loyal to convictions Of
right and duty. He was resourceful and
reliable. Tact and discretion in manag-
ing difficult persons and situations are
apparent in his dealings. He was deep
ly and truly devoted to Jesus Christ and
the cause Of God among men-not a
dreamer, but thoughtful man Of af-
fairs.
He Is an excellent example to us
Leaguers. These two letters form a
handbook of sound advice for us as
young Christians of the Timothy type.
