A Good Record.

Lester q. Smith, who had been
employed as an operator on tine L.
X. II. at Burnham, Pa, came to this
place about three months ago and
accepted a position as assistant at the
West Virginia Central & Pittsburg
Il. II. Station. He was sent to Hut
louisville, w. Va. for short time
to relieve the agent there and on his
return to this place last week he
was promoted to. the position of day
operator here.
This is rapid promotion for man
being in the service of the company
such short time. Mr.. Smiths
friends are glad to hear Of his sue
cess which is only proper recogni-
ton of his capacity, and his strict
attention to business. These ele-
ments always bring success and the
man possessing them was never in
greater demand than at the present
day.--Ekims W. Na.) Inter- Moun-

TALMAGE'S SERMON.

Christians Urged to Emulate the Quail

the Earthly Life and illustrations of
Jesus.
Copyright. 1900. by Louis Klopsch,

Copyright. 1900. by Louis Klopsch.)
In this sermon. which DR.. Ta1mage
sends from Paris. he analyses the
character of the Savior and urges all
Christians to exercise the qualities
which were conspicuous in Christ's
earthly life. The text is Romans viii,
9, Nov, if any man have not the
spirit of Christ. he is none of his"
There is nothing more desirable
than a pleasant disposition. Without
1t we cannot be happy. When we have
lost our temper or become impatient
under some light cross, we suddenly
awaken to new appreciation of prop
er equipoise of nature. We wish we
had been born with self balance We
envy those people who bear them
selves through life without any per-
turbation, and We flatter ourselves
that however little self control we
may now have. the time will come,
under the process Of years, when we
will be mellowed and softened and the
wrong things which are in us now will
then be all right, forgetful of the fact
that an evil habit in our nature will
grow into larger proportions and that
an iniquity not corrected will become
the grandfather of whole genera
ton of iniquities. So that people with
out the grace of God in the struggle
and amid the annoyances and exas-
perations of life are apt to become
worse instead of better.
Now, the trouble is that we have a
theory abroad in the world that
mans disposition cannot be changed.
A man says, Il am irascible in tenn
per, and l can't help it." Another man
says, Il am reyengeful naturally, and
l can't help it." A man says, 'T am
impulsive, and I can't help It." And
he tells the truth. No man can correct
his disposition. 1 never knew a man
by forcee of resolution to change his
temperament, but by his grace God
can take away that which is wrong
and put in that which is right. and I
know and you know people who since
their conversion are just the opposite
of what they used to be. In other
words, we may by the spirit of God
have the disposition of Jesus Christ
implanted in our disposition, and we
must have it done or we will never
see heaven. IF any man has not the
disposition of Jesus Christ, he is none

E. A. Davis, one of the heirs of the
great Davis estate. died under dis
tressing circumstances at the county
hospital, Chicago, last week.
His death was caused by brain fever
brought on by years of worry over
legal complications connected with
the will case and family troubles. he
was only 50 years old and had very
active career ever since his boyhOod.
Two years ago Mrs. Davis applied for
and secured a divorce from him. Their
two young children were placed in the
hands of a guardian, and the parting
with his little ones is said to have
contributed more than anything else
to his mental distress and subsequent
fatal illness.
The great Montana estate of his
uncle, the value of which has dwin-

be reached. The case has been drag

The teachers are doing all they can
to inculcate AmeTicanism. Last
Fourth of July there was a school cele-
bration at which pyrotechnic speeches
on liberty were made. and the Decla-
ration Of Independence read by one of
the pupils. On Washington's birth
day American flags were put over all
the school buildings for the first time.

force here as in America, for the Fill

The Hand OF Sympathy.

My sister had her arm out of Joint
and we were in the country, and the
neighbors came in, and they were all
sympathetic, and they laid hold of the
arm and pulled and pulled nightly
until the anguish was intolerable: but
the arm did not go to its place. Then
the old country doctor was sent for.
and he came in and with enc touch
1t was all right. He knew just where
to put his finger and just how to touch
the bone. We go out to Christian work
with too rough hand and too unsym-
work, while some Christian, in the
gentleness of Christ, comes along, puts
his hand of sympathy on the sore spot
the torn ligaments are healed and
the disturbed bones are rejoined. Oh.
for this gentleness of Christ.
The dew of one summer night will
accomplish more good than fifty
Caribbean whirlwinds. How import
ant it is that in going forth to serve
Christ we have something OF his gen.
10 ludI IUe way we DcdT our
selves when we are assaulted? The
rule is an eye for an eye, a tooth for
tooth, retort for retort, sarcasm for
sarcasm. Give him as much as he
sends! After awhile you look up into
the face of Christ, and you see his gen.
tleness, and you say, We'll, now, /
must do differently" Then your proud
heart says: Now, you have your enc
my in a corner. You will never get
him in a corner again. Chastise him,
and then let him CO." So we postpone
the gentleness of Christ. Did you ever
