VIII Find Way.
Hannah Whitehall Smith once knew
a woman who carried heavy burden
that was driving sleep away and under
mining her health. She has told the
following incident of how Il was ban
ished:
"One day when it seemed especially
heavy, she noticed lying on the table
near a little tract called "Hannah's
faith" Attracted by the title, she
picked it up and began to read it, lit
tie knowing that it was to create a
revolution in her whole experience
THE story was of a poor woman
who had been carried triumphantly
through a life of unusual sorrow. She
was giving the history of her life to a
kind visitor on one occasion. and at
the close the visitor said feelingly, oh.
bear so much sOrrOw,'
81 did not bear it, was the quick
reply; the Lord bore it for me-
Yes said the visitor, that is the
right way. We must take our troubles
to the Lord
Yes replied Hannah, but we
must do more than that; we must leave
them there. Most people, she contin-
ued, take their burdens to him, but,
they bring them away again, and are
just as worried and unhappy as ever
But take mine, and | leave them with
him, and come away and forget them.
If the worry comes back, take it to
him again; and do this over and over
until at last ] just forget | have any
worries, and am at perfect rest"

Perfect Happiness.

Perfect happiness is not to be won in
life's exalted moments. 1t is in so order
ing our daily lives that we are in perfect
harmony with those with whom God has
called us to live. To be heroic and noble
in the eyes of the world will not bring us
happiness if our daily associates know us
to be mean and selfish in the little actions
Of everyday toll. "Charity begins at
home," and it is sat home'' we must look
for happiness if we would have happiness
in its highest and most durable sense. -

Republican party i'll the State is in
Tazewell; likewise the weakness of
the Democratic party. In intel
ligence and wealth and we suspect
in actual numbers,the dem Ocrats
are the equals of their brethren,

supass their democratic bret hren

One great source of strength
among them, is that they have
few-very few-leaders, who have
no higher ambition than to will
they lead, plot plan, scheme, spike
guns-command, and all the rest
follow. 1t can never be said of
them, "All we, like sheep have
gone astray," When feeding time
comes they are all there, the
whole ninety and nine. Their
motto is, ''sUccess however great
the COST" and they work up to it,
and have been doing so for twenty
years. a succession of brilliant
success inSures, almost certain a
succession of successes, and
solidarity. a succession of de-
feats and failures generates dis
enlargement, and hence the dem
ocrats are not solid and neIvy
when hot times come. Something
must be done TO check the down
hill tendency of things in demo
cratic ranks, if future fights for
freedom are to count for anything.
Some thought that when a life
long Republican, whose election as
commissioner was almost a
certainty, withdrew and fused with
democrat for Sheriff, that the
thing was done. A democratic
commissioner would get int hereby,
and Republican votes would elect,
or help to, democratic sheriff.
But behold! Word is passed
around. The "Ring' encompasseth
the land, as the waters cover the

strangely impressed to utter a

Misleading.

One would imagine, if he believed
half he sees in Republican Journals,
that Democrats not only refuse to
see that the country is
prosperous under Republican rule
but are really, at heart, anxious that
''hard times" shall continue. OF
course, all sensible people see
through this flimsy pretext. Its
only a ruse to boost up Mckinley
and his followers, and pave the way
to the White House in 1900. Can
didly, We are glad to know that
times are more prosperous than
some years ago. The famine in
Europe created a demand for our
farm products. The war, which
they say was precipltated by the
Democrats, stimulated business in
certain lines to prosecute the war;
f there had been no famine in
Europe and no war with Spain it is
difficult to see where the republi>
cans would have gotten an argu-
ment to show that times are better
under their rule. The opening of
factories, ETC., incident to the war
they tell us is due to McKinley's
administration.
The increase in wages, in some
manufactures, is evidence, they
tell us, of prosperity, when in fact,
this 'rise m wages" is only restor-
ing them to the original mark.
"Our exports are the largest in
years, and our imports less" they
FAY, which proves that we are pros
porous. Because a man buys less
than he sells is no proof of prosper
ity, but necessity. "The balance
of trade is in our favor" but who
gets the balance?" Do the people
get it? Mere riches in a nation don't
make nation rich. Who got the
"balance?" The Trusts got it, the
people didn't. As the Verdict APPLY
says, if we took in more money in
the last fiscal year, who got it?
Protection and the Trusts-these
high walls around infant industries
these vultures got the ''balance.'
The claim that prosperity has come
and the argument adduced to show
it is misleading and false.
Nonation or people, undera singl,
money standard, with high tariff
protection-ever were or ever will b,
truly prosperous. To say that
man or nations are prosperous be
cause they buy less than they sell i
a misleading and false argument

especially the resources.

DIR. Q. w. Greevcr, who was de-
feated by MIR. Il. Il. George for
County Court Clerk last week, has
two pleasant things to remember.
One is that he was defeated by one
of the strongest and most popular
men IN the county, a weaker man
could not have done it. The other,
is that wherever he had lived and
was best known there he received
the largest majorities. He is pop
ular at home. Therefore 1t is bet
ter to have run and failed than
not to have run at all.

however, moved on. but men who had
only stopped to look, now followed
after him, and in less time than it

the nature of the trouble if there was

is best told by the journals of that
date, whose pages have been searched
by the tailors' and cutters special
commissioner. One gazette gave this
account of the remarkable event:
John Hethcrington. haberdasher, of
the Strand was arraigned before the
lord mayor yesterday on a charge Of
breach of the peace and melting to riot,
and was required to give bond in the
sum of $500. 1t was in evidence that
Mr. Hertherington, who is well con-
nected appeared upon the public
highway wearing upon his head what
he called a silk hat (Which was offered
in evidence), a tall structure having
a shiny luster, and calculated to fright.
en- timid people. AS a matter of fact,
the officers of the crown stated that
several women tainted at the unusual
sight, while children screamed, dogs
yelped, and n young son of Cordwainer
Thomas, who was returning from
chandlor's shop, was thrown down by
the crowd which had collected, and
had his right arm broken. For these
reasons the defendant was seized by
the guards and taken before the lord
mayor In CNtenuation of his crime,
defendant claimed that he had not viu-
lated any law Of the kingdom, but was
merely exercising a right to appear IN
hcaddress of his own design-a right
not denied to any EnGlishman."
Another paper Of the same date Jan
uary 16, 179O, in commenting on Mr..
Hothcrington's appearance, said:
In these days of enlightment it
must be considered an advance in dress
reform, and one which is bound, sooner
or later, to stamp its character upon
the entire community. The new hat
is destined to work a revolution in

another actor and working It up on
your private account.
1t is very frequently done and some
actors are wonderfully clever at the
business. They will steal the "thun-
der" every time they are on the stage
so taCtfully and artistically that 1t is
difficult for the audience to believe that
all the honor is not due to them. Sec
ondrate actOr-managers are hardened
offenders i'm this matter.
"I'Ve got a shop in fine crowd" eX-
claims Miss Tottie TwOfeet to a friend.
"All the fat of the book, three curtains
and the tag. We open on Tuesday, and
Pm awfully fluffy. Jessie's walking
on" To any one inexperienced in the
slang Of the stage the above speech
would not convey much. Translated
into common or garden language.
Miss Twofeet's meaning is that she has
obtained an engagement in a fine COM
pany, that she has to deliver the most
telling speeches in the play, that the
performance commences on Tuesday,
and that she is not sure of her lines.
Jessie-evidently her dearest Of friends

He had done his worst. lie had been

DELIVERANCE CVcrses 26 aud 2O.--As
might have been expected the heart Of
Nebuchadnezzar was greatly moved by
these strang events. Approaching tho
mouth of the furnace he called to the
Hebrews, speaking their names, but ad-
dressing them as Servants of the most
high Cod" This expression indicated
not merely respect for the men, but rev.
erence for Jehovah recognized now as
superior to the god of Babylon. All
through the ancient world there was
faith in many dcities, and men only
sought to know which was mightiest.
The king had been compelled to confess,
through this remarkable interposition,
that the god of the Hebrews was entitled
to the honor of surprising majesty and
power. Shadrach, Hcshach and Abcd-
negro came forth. The princes, COVER
nors and the kings counselors, gathered
together and looked upon them with
amazcment. Their bodies were unin-
jured. No hair of their head was singed.
Their garments were unchanged Not
even the smell Of fire had passed upon
them. They had Eeen completely de-
livered, and stood in the presence of the
king and his court as calm as before
their sentence, a proof that their conf
dence had not been misplaced
CONFESSION Verse 2S). .-Beginning
with the appearance of the four men ir.
the fiery furnace new thoughts and feel

NebuchadnezZar. Gradually the conflict
ceased and he was borne on toward bet

BILE longer to repress the convictions
forced upon him by what had occurred.
His exclamation in it's opening clause in
dicated to what excellent Views he had
advanced, blessed be the God of Shad-
raCh, MesdaCh and bed-ncGro" He
glorified the being whom he had before
challenged. He honored the men whom
he would have destroyed. lie honored
them because they had fearlessly refused
to do what thir consciences condemned,
and because they trusted in Him in whom
they believed. He honored their God
because He had delivered His servants.
1t was most remarkable instance in
which the faith and doing OF men had
secured the public display of Divine
power, resulting i'm the open and glad
confession of one who worshiped other

Its Wearer Arrested for Breach of
Peace.

From the Hatters' Gazette.
January, Is, 1897, was the date fixed
by Mr., Hetherngton for his first ap.
pearance in public with the new hat,
the silk hat of today. He believed
that in the natural course of events
he would create a sensation, but he
was not prepared for the commoton
which followed. 1t was with no lit
tie trepidation that, about II o'clock
i'm the forenoon, Mr. Hetherington
emerged from his shop in the Strand.
His family advised against it, but he
was determined, and forth he sailed.
The Strand, as now, was one Of the
busy streets of London, and Mr., Heth-
erington had not walked ten feet be-
fore merchants and others, attracted
by the unusual sight, stopped and

JARGoN OF THE STAGE.
Some English Examples That Are as

From the London Daily Mail.
Pretty nearly every profession boasts
a vocabulary Of it's own, and the thea
trtcal profession is not he least boast
full in this matter. There is a neat
ness and directness about the vocabu-
larry of the stage which does not char
acterize that Of any other institution.
What, for instance, could be more
directly impressive of the volume of an
evenings audience or the receipts to
accrue therefrom than the phrases Of
playing to the gas?" 1t is used in the
general sense in reference to small au-
dtences but strictly it means that an
audience was only large enough to rem
der receipts sufficient to pay the bill
for the evenings lighting.
Playing to the gas" Is a hideous ex-
perience through which probably every
actor passes at some time in his career
and he not unreasonably hates it. He
would infinitely rather play to n "house

an audience admitted mostly by free
passes, and the expression probably
takes its origin from the fact that it

these holes were made, because similar
ones are being made today. The sur

the hot bed Of the valley down which
the glacier is moving. These water

CONCLCSION.-1he chief interst of the
lesson Ccnters in the Hebrews. They
exhibited the severa! aspects in the trl-
umphs of faith. 1t was because they
believed in God that they dared to answer
the king, saying that they would be de.
livered, but if not delivered they would
die before obeying his command. 1t was
because they believed that they failed not
in the trying hour, but with supreme
boldness and resignation entered the fiery
furnace. 1t was by faith that they were
supported, able to come forth unharmCd.
The reward of their faith was not limited
to themselves. 1t produced n change Of
heart in the king, led him to issue another
decree in which the religion of the con-
demned and saved men was commended
and their God proclaimed to every peo-
pie under heaven. 1t is always so. He
who stands for the right Is protected by
the Almighty, and there goes forth from
him in ever widening circles waves of in
fluencc to bless the world. What is
wanted in all times and lands is men who
love God and fearlessly stand for Him
under all circumstances!
