The Mystery of Warts.

When youngster of 10 years, was
visited by plague oil warts. From my
earliest recollection l had had on my
middle finger an old daddy wart. but at
the age stated this had multiplied to 40
or more, one being ON my lip and one
on my chin. l was considerably worried
over my growing family of excrescences,
and one day woodchopper in my ia
theirs employ, who acted queerly, never
wearing a hat for instance, said that
he could take the warts away with him.
/ was quite willing TO have him try.
and he took me off to quiet spot under
a willow tree, from which he cuf
cut again into little bits of an inch in
length, making notch in each one,
and this notch he set down over each
wart, having at last collection of 40
or more of these little notched sticks.
These he put into his pocket. saying
that the warts would go away.
| could never say just when the
prophecy was fulfilled, but within six
weeks there wasn't a wart on my face
or hands, and there has not been one
since that time. What want TO know
now, as l did then-and the conjurer
would not tell me-is what did it.
have spoken to many doctors about it,
but they merely laugh, as though / was
giving them ''pipe talk. and yet the
warts went away, and all the medicine

Drawn at Night.

The architect and his friend the
builder were driving back to the for
mer's Office. They had been out to the
edge of the city to look at some work
on which they were engaged. AS they
drove by certain house the builder
looked up at it proudly, saying: "There
is house that l built myself. not
only built it, but drew all the plans.
Every bit of work in it is mine The
architect looked at the house and smiled
in provoking way
The builder noticed the smile and
looked at the house in a new light.
"How hard worked on that" he said
"In the daytime had to do something
else, but every night would sit up late

every night for month. "
The architect looked at the house
again and smiled once more. and the
builder saw him.
Again he turned his eyes toward the
product of his brain, twisted his neck
to squint at it after the carriage had
passed it. Then he looked at the archi-
tect with humility. at looks as if

Men Practically Agreed to Submit-Fi-

.day-CIeveland Mayor Had Intimated
He Would Call Out Militia.

CLEVELAND, June 24.-The peace COM
mittee of the city council issued call
for meeting of the strikers, which was
held at Arch nall, in which an effort
was made to induce the men to agree to
the last proposal of the company. The
result of the meeting was that state
ment was framed by the strikers, which
they said was their ultimatum. The
statement practically agreed to the
proposition of the company. They
agreed to allow the company to retain
100 of its present employees and put i'll Il
clause which said that hereafter in case
of any difficulty between the company
and the employees that the latter should
have the right to appoint a committee
which would discuss the grievances.
This is not contrary to the stand taken
by the company, which has agreed at all
times that all matters pertaining to the
employees would be discussed with them.
The strikers asked primarily for the
recognition of the union.
The council peace committee, how
ever. persuaded them that it was to
their benefit to submit and they have
practically agreed to do so. The final

both sides in order that both may be
sure there is no trick hidden in the
statement of either side.
Mayor Farley held conference with
half dozen officers of the military Or
ganization of Cleveland, with view of
obtaining from them statement of the
strength of their respective commands,
in case it was deemed wise to call upon
Governor Bushnell for detail of militia
to meet conditions.
Among those present were Captains
Zimmerman and Beardsley of the Fifth
regiment, Captain Scofeld of Troop A
and Lieutenant Gibson of the naval re-
serves.
The mayor said he did not propose to
waite any time theorizing on the situa-
ton, He had determined the time had
come when decisive action must be
taken and he would not permit any
more rioting on the streets of the city
if the calling out of ell the available
troops in the state would prevent it.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.

25-COmment by Rev. S. II. Doyle.
ToPIC.-Spiritual growth.-Mark iv, 26-32.
The nature of spiritual growth is rep
scented in the topical reference by two
,lrables of Christ concerning the
growth of seed cast into the ground.
The soil is the human heart; the seed
the word of God; the growth is spir-
tual development; the fruit is Chris
ian character; the harvest is the end
If the world, when God distributes His
;ewards and punishments The one
thought emphasized by the topic and
llso by these two parallels is the nature
If spiritual growth, or the growth of
The kingdom of GOD in the heart and
ife of men. Several characteristics of
spiritual growth are pointed out.
1. Spiritual growth is constant. The
seed grows continually. The man rises
night and day, and the seed springs mp
and grows. 1t is not an irregular, inter
mittent growth. but constant, steady
growth. This should be the nature of
spiritual growth. Constant study sof
God S word constant communion with
Christ, constant abounding in good
works, should lead to constant advance
Of the spiritual life toward God and
godliness.
3. Spiritual growth is mysterious.
The seed should spring up and grow, he
knoweth not how, for the earth bring
eth forth fruit of herself. How mysteri-
ous is growth Who can explain it or
understand it? The fact we know; the
philosophy is unknown. How charac-
teristic of spiritual growth Spiritual
birth is mysterious 'The wind bloweth
where it listeth, 49, but thou canst not
tell whence it cometh or whittier it
goeth. So is every one who is born of
the Spirit. Mystery is the nature of
spiritual growth. Who can explain
how the word of God can take hold of
the human heart and change it and
transform the human lifeY We know
the fact, blessed knowledge, but the
philosophy of it is unfathomable. 1t is
of God and mysterious. incomprehensi-

3. Spiritual growth is gradual and
progressive. 'First the blade, then the
