WASTED PATRIOTISM.
Rsbody Noticed Dynamite Salute to
Admiral Dewey.


There bad been some talk in PheniX
OF firing a salute in sympathy with the
demonstration in homer of Admiral Dew
ey, says The Republican of that city, but
the matter was allowed to drop. as so
many things do in rhcnix. City Con-
tractor Arthur. seeing that nobody was
about 70 pick it up. did so himself. He
bought IL sticks of dynamite, for it had
been agreed upon all over the country
that nothing less than II shocks would
express proper appreciation of Admiral
Dewey's worth, and he went into the
lower part of the town to touch them
off Mr. Arthur did not tell anybody
what he was going to do, for he had
right to suppose that an explosion of II
half pounds of dynamite one after an
other, would advertise itself. invite in-
quiry and draw crowd. When the
first stick went off, Mr. Arthur saw
woman stick her head out of a doorway
and look around as if she thought she
had heard something. hut was not quite
sure of it. She withdrew her head and
did not appear again during the fir
ing of the national salute. A boy
playing with dog in vacant
lot half block away stopped
after one discharge and listened inteIliy
for moment and went on playing with
the dog. An Indian passed just as Mr..
Arthur WAS lighting the fuse of another
cartridge. and when the explosion oc-
CURED applauded it with smile and
said, big tirecracker." In this way
Mr.. Arthur succeeded in half attracting
the attention of dozen or more persons.
but nobody but the Indian knew precise
" what was going on. The explosions
and the smell of the burning dynamite
brought on severe headache.
The next morning he arose, his head
still aching. and opened the papers, GU
rious to know how the public had taken
the Dewey celebration in Phenix. There
was not only not word about the salute.
but it was expressly stated and lamented
that no salute had been fired. Mr.. Ar
thur was inclined to believe that the
morning press had conspired to suppress
the facts and boycott patriot. He came
down town and asked people if they had
heard a salute. Nobody had heard it.
Then he went to the scene of the DEM
onstration and inquired in that neighbor-
hood. Several persons said they had seen
him in that vicinity. but had paid no at.
tention to him, thinking he was engaged
in his official business about the bitches.

Dr. Finsen took some of these bacilh

the latter thinly between two sheets of

rect rays of the sun. In an hour and

Higher Sense of PRAYER.

There is no way of making ones
prayers real and strenuous save as God
is made real and present in ones
thoughts Ii is impossible to speak with
any sense of reality to an absent deity
or to put soul and passion, faith and
love into words that are spoken into
empty space. and we can never know
what Jesus meant by prayer nor what
prayer meant to Him until we have
bathed our spirits in His rich and sat
isfying thought of God. Once let that
Thought take possession of us, and
prayer is lifted forever above the mere
realm of petition. and all doubt or mis-
giving as to its answer is lost in the
higher wish not that our particular re-
quests shall be granted, but that the
will of God may be known and done

Under the roses and urde: the dew,
Dead-but the dreaming dear heart, of you!
For The day you knelt near the death veiled place
feIt your tears fail my face.
And the rose that you lcf, where my dreams must
be
Thrilled the thought OF you down to me!
And l said. from my couch in the white walled
dust,
she is true to her love. she is true to her trust
''And her tenderest tears will fall for ME
Till We meet in Gods eternits
Under the rose aud under the dew,
Dead-but dream more oi you!
The stormy winds DER my dweiiing rave;
Dead are the roses that blessed my grave.
For you never kneel by my couch TO say
The loving words that you said that day
Crumbles MY name the marbles crust,
My dreams are dead, and my heart is dust!

fopic For the Week Beginning Nov.
19-Comment by Rev. S. H. Doyle.
ToPIc.-Liberty and lore.-Rom. xiv, 123. a
temperance meeting)
In this chapter Paul treats of the
duties of Christians toward one anoth
er, in things not binding OH the con-
science. In the first 12 verses he points
out that Christians who are overscru-
pulous, who have weak consciences, are
not to be harshly condemned, but to be
kindly treated. In the remaining part
of the chapter he discourses upon the
manner in which Christians who are
strong in the faith should use their
Christian liberty, pointing out the fact
that their liberty should not be used in
way that would prove an injury to
others; that though they are free and
should live in freedom. yet their free
dom should not become a stumbling
block in the way of others In other
words, Paul declares that liberty should
be tempered with love; that we should
not insist on doing all that we have
right to do, but be governed by the
effects of our actions upon others. Paul
had perfect right to eat meat offered
to idols. but if the use of his liberty in
this respect injured a brother, for whom
Christ died, Paul was willing to sur
render his liberty for the sake of his
weak brother.
= Paul not only lays down this princi
pie of liberty and love in the Christian
life. but gives many reasons to support
his position. 1. Because Christ died for
the weak as well as the strong. de
stroy not him with thy meat for whom
Christ died" 1t would be extremely
preposterous for any one to claim the
right to use his personal liberty in a
way that would make Christ's death on
