to get through them but he would start
 The heads were: Man expects tc
 reap what he sows, he expects to reap
 the same kind of seed that he owes and
 he expects to reap more than he soWs.
 No one sows except in hope, One does
 not reap Watermelons from wheat seeds
 nor after learning the blacksmith trade
 is one competent to practice medicine.
 Man must reap the same as he sows. If
 l tell my boy that l am out of town
 when neighbor comes to the door, the
 first thing that I know he will be lying to me himself Merchants come to me
 and ask why it is that their clerks are
 deceitful and untrustworthy. I tell them 1 that they teach their clerks to cheat the
 customers by placing foreign tags on
 domestic goods and the like. The next
 thing the clerks do is to lie to their mas | ters. What else can be expected? A lie | is lie wherever told and it is just as | black whether told in the college or in | society. Just a short time ago man died who left thirty-siX millions of dol lars to his two sons who are drunkards.
 They followed the example of their father His life was a stupendous fail ure. Of what value is college educa- ton to a drunkard. Any man can go
 with the current but it takes a young
 man of strong will to go contrary to the current. Some people say that Esau
 was a more famous character than Ja- cob but we must take the whole life of both into consideration. For the deceit practised on his father God made Jacob reap. That was centuries ago but He will also make us reap the same as we SOW. Jacob got the birth right blessing but he paid a million times as much for it as it was worth, He was in Haran twenty years. He fell in love and bar gained with his father-in- Jacob was great bargainer. He bargained seven years for Laban's daughter and then had to wait for seven years more before he got the one that he wanted See the effect of his deceit upon his family of sons. Remember Josephs dream and his flight into Egypt. Think how the ten sons sent the bloody coat to their father and deceived him in the same way as he had deceived his father. He was repaid by the same kind of a trick. Think of the fall of David | through adultery. The worst of all | things in America to-day Is the crime of adultery and the worst meanness is the way woman is treated after she l has fallen. She is ostracised from soci- ety but a fallen man can still | hold up his head, We don't hang our worst murderers, those who ruin our women and those who murder their par ents through dark deeds. The slow as- sassnation of the parents is worse than the secret knife. See how David was paid through his own sin by the sin of | his own son Absalom. His great grief | was due to the fact that he knew the reason of Absalom's fall was due to himself. The worst thing of sowing bad seed is that we make others reap with us the results of what we SOW, Man will always reap what he sows and ignor- ance of the kinds of seeds makes no dif- ference as to harvest

 You will also note the tables of the balances due for taxes for each year from 1874 to date as reported by the not only for the city lists as published in former year books, but | hose of the town and school lists, which lave not been contained in the reports l

 is a very readable book, which deals | with the problem of marriage in an un- conventional way and possesses a deep l ly human interest. The heroine, by an
 unfortunate mesh of untoward circum-
 stances, and chiefly influenced by her in-
 valid mothers wishes and most earnest
 entreaties, is led. though unwillingly, to
 give her hand to a bluff and gross navi- 1 gator much older than herself, who has
 some money but who is repulsive to her
 artistic sense, and who soon after their | marriage finds out this fact, much to his | rage and modification In an outburst of passion at the discovery he strikes her. The blow crushes the wifes last feeling of Wifely devotion and self-sacri- lice, and the captain, after vain at- tempts at reconciliation, sails on his
 voyage enraged and yet determined to
 conquer into submission the beautiful
 woman whom he has captured. News
 comes a few weeks later that the cap-
 tain, his ship and nearly all on board are
 lost at sea. The heroine, believing her
 self to be a widow Weds a young au-
 thor who is her ideal of lover and a
 husband, and with whom she lives six
 years blissfully. But the resolute cap
 tain reappears to claim her. He with others was cast away on a desert island and was at last rescued together with his companions. The finale comes with the sudden taking away of the captain by an apoplectic stroke as he was de- manding possession of his wife, and the Joyless prospect which had opened be- l fore the woman disappears. The book l has strong merits and is capitally writ | ten and the captains opportune dsap- | pearance from life occurs most happily | for the peace of mind of the happy pair of true lovers, and the continuation of 1 their previously unalloyed joy after they have become legally joined in we'd lock.

MOODY, THE EVANGELIST
MAKES A POWERFUL ADDRESS TO
 TALE STUDENTS
At BatteIl Chapel Yesterday Morning As n Man SOweth SO Also Wlll He Re ap Chapel Crowded to OverflOying.

As Man Soweth SO Also Will He Re ap
 Was the Burden of the Address-The
 Chapel Crowded to Overfl0wing.
 Dwight l.. Moody, the famous evan-
 gelist, occupied the pulpit in Battell
 chapel yesterday morning. It was an
 nounced in advance that visitors could
 not be accommodated but this notice
 did not hinder a large number of citi-
 Zens from being present and the chapel
 was in consequence filled to it's utmost
 capacity, corridors and all. The ser
 mon was characteristic of an evangelist and many actual happenings in the em-
 inent speakers long experience were re-
 related. They fully illustrated the
 topics discussed and the entire discourse
 was listened to very closely. MT. Moody
 took his text from Galations, 9th chap
 ter and the 7th verse, which reads:
 whatsoever man soweth that shall he also reap" He spoke especially to the students giving them many precepts which If followed can not help but make their lives better He said that It is customary for students to challenge ev- cry statement that they hear. This is perhaps right. If so let them challenge this statement in the text. Let them speak right out, let us know and dis cuss the truth Didn't God make Adam and Eve way back there in the garden of Eden and didn't Cain reap outside. The truth of this text applies as well to President Dwight as it does to the mem- bers of the freshman class. If you re- fuse to believe that does not change the matter.
 The speaker said that a man once told l him that he did not believe. The unbe- l liever was met at the outside door of 1 the church by sheriff who arrested | him for stealing. He was later tried and | sent to jail Perhaps faint part Of | the truth of the text dawned upon him while he meditated behind prison bars. A short time ago in Ohio president of a liquor trust suggested to the saloon | keepers that they give young boys five cents so that they could create an appe- tite for drink. Sturgeon once said that a man to preach must, always have heads in his sermon. The speaker in took these three heads, saying at the time that he didn't expect

There are 20 iteme on which reports

Strange as it may seem, this state

In Washington it was 90 per cent.
The condition of the nations potato

1t is in fruits that Washington made a

AS to peaches, Washington is credited
with only 80 per cent as compared with
a full crop. That is bad but other states
did worse, Pennsylvania had 3 per

Missouri and West Virginia only per
cent of full crop.
The condition OF grapes in this state

The acreage of clover compared with
