London, March 1.-The Rome cores
pondent of the Daily News says: The
sudden cnanges in the weather brought
on the pope's bowel complaint, from
which he has never been entirely free
since last summer, when it was regarded
as alarming. This is aggravated by a
pain in the left side near the spleen. The
indications are that the conclave, should
it be called soon, would be divided dis
tnctly into factions. The first is SIM
ply religious faction supporting Padre
Gotti barefoot carmelite monk from
Genoa distinguished merely for learn
ing and piety, who would have good
chance of success as a successor. The
other faction, which faVorS an extension
of the political powers of the pope, mas
three candidates, Cardinal Bishop Luigi
Oreglia di Santa Stefana, dean of the sa-
cred college and Camerengo of the Holy
Roman Catholic church; Cardinal Bishop
Seratna Vannuteli, bishop of Frascati
and prefect of the congregation of bish-
ops and regulars, and Cardinal Priest
Mariana Rampolla del Tindaro, pontifical
secretary of state, arch priest of the va
tcan basilica and grand prior in Rome OF
the sovereign military order OF st. John
of Jerusalem. All of these are intransi-
geants and there is no possibility of for
eigner being elected pope.
2 Rome, March 1.-The pope underwent
an operation this morning for the removal
of long standing cyst which suddenly
became inflamed. His holiness bore the
operation remarkably well. The pope's $
condition is now fairly satisfactory.

the following account of a remarkable
dream of Boone given by his grand
daughter:
"Several years after the disappear

He found the big hollow tree just as he
had seen it in his sleep, and looking
into the large cavity near the ground
discovered complete human skeleton
and an old fint-lock rifle. The full
fillment OF the dream was so perfect
that the hunter always believed that
he was guided in this way to the re-

that his companion got lost in the

A Few Thoughts About Schools.

Arachel, in The Exponent.
The school teacher is by no means
the only person responsible for the cd
ucation Of Our boys and girls. By ths
word "education," I do not mean
school training only; but the training
Of parents, guardians. the examples sci
before the eyes of the young by men
and women who are looked up to by
the community as leaders.
When young man has gained al
honorable position in the world, and
received the p]audits of his fellow-men,
it, by no means, follows that his teach
ers should have the credit. And just
as truly would it be a wrong conclu-
sion, to infer that young man who
turns out worthless, had bad teachers.
Environment has an immense inilu-
ence in determining the careers Of
men and women.
Do not let the reader infer from the
foregoing that ] consider the teaching
that youth receives has little weight
in the making of the future man. II
has much weight-but not all.
1t Is serious and solemn thing to
be a teacher. The responsibility is
tremendous. You can't know too
much to be teacher. If experience is
needed in the prosecution of any bust
ness, most especially is it needed by
the teacher.
Bricks and mortar, granite, marble,
do not make a school. Some OF the
best teaching ever done in our State
was done in log school houses. Neither
does a complete equipment OF patent
desks, or roller maps, or charts, or
fancy bIack-toards, or portraits OF
famous literary men and professors Of
colleges. or gymnastic apparatus, or q
chemical laboratory, or appliances foi
instruction in physics, or mineral cabi
nets and geological museums make a
school. The school is the teacher,
pure and simple.
How few parents inquire into the
qualifications of the new teacher !.
They may. possibly, ask what political
party does he belong to and OF what
religious denomination. But do they
ask: Who is be? What is he? Is
he Christian? Is he gentleman? :?
Has he good habits? Does he know
how to manage children? What say
his pupils of his other schools about
him? Lastly-Is he graduate?

SEARCH THOU OUR HEARTS.

Anne Virginia Culbertson.
Search Thou our hearts, o GoIs, and
If this our strife be waged for Thee.
Thou gavest in our infancy
The precious gift of liberty.
And is it, then, through Thy COM
mands
We rend the gift from other hands?
Lord God Of Battles once vast Thou-
Declare Thyself unto us now
For since One came, the Prince Ct
Peace,
Hast Thou not hidden war to cease?
Yet, peradyenture, now, as then,
Through darkllng paths Thou leadest
men,
From present ills of war and blood,
Permlttest them to work out good.
An hundred years Thy face hath shed
Its light upon the paths we tread.
And all we did was in Thy name,
And Thou hast given us power ard
lame.
No stronger nation walks Thine earth
Than ours, the one OF latest birth.
Since Thou hast given such bounteous
store.
What need. 0 Lord, have we of more?
Then wee to rs if we profane
Thy name to cloak orr lust of gain
No sin more hateful. Lord, may be
Than that which cursed the Pharisee.
And thou, howe'er we cloak intent,
Wilt Judge us by the thing we meant.

critlcising The Pastor.
BY REV. O. C. PEYTON.

You make a sad, pitiful and fatal
mistake when you criticise your pastor
before your children. By doing SO you
mar and destroy the influence OF your
pastor over your children. If he is a
true man of God, he yearns to be the
means under God of saving your chill
dren. He thinks and prays much
about it. Try your utmost to help him
to get an influence over your children,
that he may lead them to Christ. :
am sure your pastors earnest de-
sire and purpose is to do you good.
You can hinder his doing so. Let me
briefly mention some of the ways: O
By withholding your confidence and
sympathy. If you do not place conf
dence in your pastor as man and a
minister. lie cannot help you. What
you believe him to be in his character
and life will re-enfoce and emphasize
his speech. What a preacher is de-
termines the effect of what he says.
Don't be looking for your pastors
faults. Be charitable and patient and
give him your loving sympathy. His
work is arduous and difficult. Sympa
thize with him, pray for him, and he
can help you. (2) By withholding
your temporal support. "God has Or
dained that he that preacheth the gos-
pei, shall live of the gospel" He de-
mands OF you that when your pastor
contributes to you in spiritual things,
you shall contribute to him in
temporal things. The Bible declares
that the liberal soul shall be made fat
HGive, and it shall be given to you,"
are words from the lips Of Jesus. II
you permit narrowness, coyetousness
and selfshness to rule in your life, you
will sorely hinder your pastor from be-
ing of spiritual profit to you. The re-
llglon that costs nothing is Of little
value. God has decreed that there
shall be the closest connection between
liberality in supporting His cause and
true spiritual progress. You cannot
thwart His purpose. 90 By not living
the truth your pastor breaches. II
your church is to be real force in
your community it must be through
your Cody living-endorsing, empha-
sizing and showing the uplifting power
OF the gospel. Your pastor has the
divine authority to stand before the
people and claim for that gospel great
and wondrous things. 1t can unstop
deaf ears, open blind eyes, melt icy
hearts, stir human lives, make men
hate the carnal things they once loved,
and loye the spiritual things they once
hated, and even though their talents
be small, it can make mighty men. IN
zeal and usefulness, of those who ac-
cept 1t, obey it and go forth to pro-
claim it to others. You can hinder
YOUR pastor from doing you good by
his life, ministry and pastoral work by
not living before men the dlyine truth
he breaches.

With expansionlsts and anti-expan-
sionists alike the thought of enslaving
100000 people is abhorrent. Yet In
a very true and utterly worthy sense,
this mythical something made up of
7O,OO0,O0O restless units and yet posses
sing a character of its own, does own
US individually and so truly so that
there never have been and never will
be lacking men to give up their lives
for the perpetuity Of this something
which is greater than we and more far
reaching in its power than us.
~
We should quit twaddling about
terms that are misleading and about
trlfles that are not worth taking mp
and come to the really important facts
OF tour political lie, so that our thoughts,
our acts, and our lives are given to the
improvement of the day in which we
live and of the earth on which we
tread. Thus shall we do. J'he resto-
ration Of peace to the tropical regions
that are ours will not mean their en-
slayement but as far as possible their
enlightenment, for each year sees
among our people an increase OF genu-
inc interest in the unfortunate and
backward on the part OF those who are
fortunate and forward.

GOOD FISHING In SIGHT.
New Law Having n Fine Effect ut
Broad Ripple.

Sportsmen who have enjoyed occasional
fishing at Broad Ripple are beginning TO ex-
press qualification at the law passed by the
last Legislature closing the season while
the fish are spawning. 1t is said the new
law is renewing this locality as good place
for fishing. That there are a great many
more fish in the river than in past seasons
is evident to those who have been on the
water at Broad Ripple in the last few
weeks. There has been very little violation
OF the law apparently. Bathers say that
it is impossible to enter the water with
out having numerous fish take a nibble at
the exposed parts of ones anatomy. There
have been no limbs lost nor any serious
mishaps OF that kind from this source. but
the nibble is quite distinct. An old fisher
man says that for every fish caught at
Broad Ripple in past years at least fifty
minnows were used for bait, and this whole
sale slaughter of the minnows, many of
which have been young bass and other good
fish, has done much TO deplete the Broad
Ripple fishing grounds. The law will per-
NIT fishing after July /.
Few dead fish have been noticed in the
river recently, and it is presumed that the
strawboard plants farther north are not pol
luting the stream as much as in the past,
also that dynamiting is not carried on TO
any extent. A month or so ago dead fish
fioated down the river, but experts said an
epidemic which occasionally prevails among
the fnny tribe was causing the destruction

MALT VINEGAR.
Federal Law Permits No Coloring
with Burnt Sugar.

The subject OF cider vinegar or rather
the control OF the traffic in it. is just now
the subject Of dispute between the state
and federal authorities because of a federal
law which prohibits the use of any coloring
matter in making vinegar. The statistics
gathered by interested parties indicate that
fully nineteen-twentieths OF the vinegar
made and sold I'm this State as cider vine
gar, IS In reality. malt or whisky vine
gar and is made from corn and malt in
much the same manner as whisky. The
manufacture Is authorized by the govern
ment. however. although under the closest
Kind OF espionage. Competent authorities
unite in the opinion that the malt vinegar
Is pure and more wholesome than the cider
vinegar. Aside from it's being distilled
which guarantees the absence OF organisms
Il Is considered superior TO the cider vine
gar. from the fact that only the poorest
grades of apples are used in the manufac-
ture Of the latter. The conflict with the fed
eral law comes. however. not through the
fact OF the manufacture OF the malt vinegar
but because of the colorlng matter used in
IL. When distilled the malt vinegar Is
white and In order TO sell for cider vinegar
the manufacturers ''redden' IL with burnt
sugar. The federal law provides that no coll
orfng matter or any description shall be
used and. although burnt sugar is perfectly,
