A Mean Mans Finish.

A man gave note recently without
a revenue stamp on it. He said it
was unnecessary, as he would pay it
Ia few days. When the note be-
came due he refused to pay 1t, and
pleaded as q defense that there was
no stamp on 1t. He won that case,
but now he Is under arrest charged
with violating the revenue law, and
the costs have already amounted to
several times more than the note. A
mean man always gets s'cauaht up
With n the long run.

French Captain again Convicted and
gets Ten Years Imprisonment.

Captain Dreyfus the accused
French army officer who has been
punished so inhumanly for alleged
treason has been convicted again as
a result OF the sensational trial that
has been going on at Rennes for the
past few weeks and he is sentenced
to ten years Imprisonment. The
verdict was expected but it is a case
of monstrous injustice. France may
be torn to pieces by the frenzy
kicked up by the trial and the sen
sational close of it.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
The Conquerin1 Power of the Cos

Yesterday morning Rev. 81. W..
Moore, pastor of the Presby terian
church, preached from the text:
"Wssh me and L shall be whittier than
snow" His subject was: 1.-The Cos
pei that Conquers." Part of the SER
mon is here given:
The great problem that has ever
vexed the mind of men has been the
origin of evil. How sin came into the
world and has been so universally diff
fused Will ever have shout 1T my stery.
The bible hints that there is q cOnnec-
tion between Adams first sin and all
sin, but it is not fully explained. No
one lives long in this life before he
finds out that in all his calculations he
has to take into consideration this fact:
that all men are biased to do wrong
and have tendency TO shun the good.
What different world it would be and
what different lives we would live if
there were no evil. Think of the
heart-aches sin has caused. Think of
the broken homes it has MAZE, the
manhood and the womauhoOd it has
wrecked; the graves it has digged; the
remorse it has caused. Under the aw-
full spell the human family. has rested
