Rams Horn Blasts.


Though the fire is extin-
gulshed in death, the gold
will remain.
The best heart purifieris to
be filed with thoughts of
God.
The lights of the world need
focusing IN the lens ofChrist's
love.
1t is praiseworthy to as.
pire to the stars, but you
must also plan to drop on
the earth.
Education may furnish you
a headlight, but only the
grace of Iod can help you
make steam.
1t takes two to make a
quarrel, but one may mend
it.
A lie in les own clothes is
always impotent.
Easy preaching comesfrom
hard preparation.
1t is Impossible to put off
sin till you put on Christ.
Gods laws of giving are as
fixed AZ His laws OF living.
A sincere man is nine-tenths
right and 80 per cent pure.
There are no dend saints.
Love only can tighten la
boris load.
A long prayer may come
from little piety.
Tapering off n bad habit is
but spinning out a rops to
hold you till the next seige OF
the temptation.
Too many preachers are
thinking more of salary than
of service.
He who groans most in
prayer frequently loans the
Lord least in charity.
The spirit OF the meeting il
not greatly helped by the
people who say. II will be
with yon in spirit"
The Christian who knows
God, will praise Him every
day of his lite, whether he
feels like it or not.
The raven who failed to re
turn to the ark is a picture o.
many Christians who, being
saved, meyer look back tt
say so.
The better days will come
only as you do your best to-
day.
The more intensive you1
faith the moreextensive yonl
influence.
The church without a pray
ermeeting IS a body without
q heart.
If you give no place to TIT
devil you will not 20 to tht
devils place.
While we are close to Christ
we never find any weight il
his yoke.

It worries the republicans though
that there is SO much apathy in their
own ranks. Their people don't seem
to take any interest in the Philadelphia
platform. In fact one never hears Of
it at all. x
The business interests Of the country
are beginning to realize that impe-
rialism by unsetting the very ~founda-
tions of government threatens all sta
BILE business. They are beginning to
realize that Imperialism must be de-
feated and that no other issue matters
much until that is settled.
The official record of strikes and
shutting down of factories reported at
the Federation headquarters in Wash
ingtop shows that the alleged mid
summer stagnation is really a reaction
from the republican prosperity which
has been so widely heralded.

SANG TO THE SOLDIERS.
Death of the Veteran Balladist, "Fa.
ther" Locke, In Massa.
chusetts,

Elbridge w. (''Father') Locke, one
of the best-known men in veteran cir.
cles in this state, died at his home in
Chelsea recently, says the Boston Jour.
nal. Father Locke became we'll known
during the civil war as singer OF
army ballads, and since the close OF
the war he appeared in nearly every
public school in the state, singing his
songs.
Early in the SOS Father Locke wrote
a song entitled "The Ship of State"
This song he sang for the first time in
Faneuil hall at the ratification of the
nomination of Lincoln. The song
pleased the large audience to such an
extent that Cows. Banks and Andrews
suggested that he go to Springfield,
ILL.,, and sing the song to Mr.. Lincoln.
He went there and Mr.. Lincoln was
greatly pleased with Father Locke'<
effort.
In 1862 Father Locke went to Wash.
ington, where he was received by the
president, and spent some time sing.
ing his songs to him. He suggested
to Father Locke that he might po
among the "boys," cheering them with
his ballads. The suggestion was read.
lily accepted by the singer, and he spent
the following three years with the dit.
ferent armies, relating his stories and
singing his ballads. s
After the close of the war Father
Locke wrote many songs, the most
popular of which was ''Our Free Amer
ica," written in 1895. This song had
a large sale and is in use in nearly all
the schools in the state as patriotic
air. Father Locke was 50 years old.
He was born in New Hampshire.

NEW TYPES OF LAKE VESSELS
Those Suitable for Passane Throurh
the Canals Are Most in
Demand.

In the annual review of the marine
on the great lakes the ''Blue Book of
American Shipping" just published,
says: 'The approximate value of ves-
sells built in shipyards of the great
lakes during the last year is $1O,50o,-
900. Nearly all of these vessels are
steel freight steamers of 45O to 500
feet in length and of 1000 to 5000
net tons capacity, equipped with
quadruple expansion engines of 1900
to 5000 horse power. and in most
cases with water tube boilers. The
year has, of course, been one of the
most prosperous in the history of lake
ship building on account of the boom
in iron and steel lines. There are
still large number of ships under
construction in the lake yards, some
OF them not to come out until the
spring of 1901, and there is every rea-
son to expect, in view of the profits
assured to ship owners by reason of
contracts made last fall. renewal
of orders that will give the yards
nearly as much work for another win
ter as they have had in the last year.
IT the number of new ships ordered
for lake trade should be limited the
difference will probably be made up
in steel freight steamers of about
5000 tons capacity, to be built for
both the lake and Atlantic service
vessels suited to passage through the
Canadian canals from the lakes to the
seaboard. The canal type of steamer
Is about 255 feet over all, AZ feet beam
and 26 feet nodded depth. About a
dozen such vessels are now in commits
sion on the lakes and they might be
sent on to the seaboard for coast
service at any time. The few that
have gone to the Atlantic have proved
so successful in the trade to Porto
Rico and down the United States
coast that it is proposed to equip four
others, now under construction at the
works of the American Shipbuilding
company, for all kinds of service on
salt water as we'll as on the lakes.
Companies are forming for the con-
struction and operation of very
large fleet of steamers of this kind,
and it is expected that the lake build.
ers will profit largely"
