BoIdn~ss Won the Day.


 From the hour when he was obliged to leave Hobart college. stricken with a hemorrhage of the lungs, through all the years until but short time since he yielded to third attack of pneu- monia. Bishop Mahlon N. Gilbert. CO., adjuter with Bishop Whipple of the diocese of Minnesota. had fought out many a hand to hand battle with death.
 Years ago. when but just out of di- yinity halls, he was given a charge by Bishop Futile, his lifelong friend. It was the most difficult field in the west. Young Gilbert was the only minister of his faith In all the western half of a great territory. In the town of Deer Lodge, Mon., his headquarters, com prising some GOO souls, he had at the beginning of his work but two commu- nicants. It was from this town that he went upon mission tours throughout the region. Walking into the local bank one day he said to one of the offi- cials:
 ''I want $2,OOO, without any indorse- ment, to be paid back some time in the future"
 The banker looked at the young rec tor a moment, and then without sign of further hesitation he said:
 "You can have 1t. Any man that's got nerve enough to ask such a thing deserves to have 1t without interest"
 A very profitable church fair, held later, was liberally patronized, and soon after the proudest man in Monta na. as he afterward said, marched into the bank and laid down the S2,OO( in coin and currency. Saturday Even Ing Pnst

Tired McIaIr.

It is fact of comparatively recent discovery in chemical metallurgy that metals lose their vitality from repeti- tions of shocks and strains and may be said. as the expression Is. to suffer from fatigue-that Is, they may be worked till their molecules fall to hold together.
 As Is familiarity known. bars of tin, rods of brass and wires of any metal will separate owing to fatigue If bent backward and forward continuously. But by careful experiments, however, the fact Is made to appear that a rem edy exists for this condition of metals if the overstrain does not border on rupture. and this remedy Is very much like that which Is applied in the case of an overworked human frame namely. rest.
 Feather edged tools recover their vi- tality better than any other. Of course the length of time required for this rest varies with different metals and the amount of strain to which they have been subjected.
 Hard metals. such as iron and steel, use up one and two years time In the process. On the other hand. soft met. als. like lead, retain their cohesive force longer md also require less rest. -Pearson's Weekly.

rwe Straight srlasAsa.

I played poker for 12 years and new CT saw a straight flush. A few nights ago a woman in a millionaires' row palace held one and. disdaining the small p,ie of cash on the table. called cept an old bachelor who had learned the game in the Union club laid down. He, scorning to take advantage of a weak woman. said:
 Mrs. B., let me advise you to be careful. I shall see you for any amount and raise you. The limit is off, sup poser
 She said 1t was and cast 6 check for $500 in the pot
 Before I see that may I ask Ques- tionr he said to the assembled play CTS. "I want to know this-in case there are two straight flushes, each ace high. which suit winsr
 Diamonds" was the unanimous re- ply.
 He handed to Mrs. B. her check and, laying down a ten, jack, queen, king and ace of diamonds, remarked that she was a very brave woman But she assured him that her hand was worth $500 and exposed a ten, jack queen, king and ace of clubs. How far would you have goneT some one asked her. to which she made answer:
 "I shouldn't have thought of stopping under $50O0. and l am half angry that he didn't give me a chance to bet It's such glorious fun."-New Yorh Press.

Thou are worthy" We go forth again for more trophies, and Into one sheaf we gather all the scepters of the Caesars and the Alexanders and the czars and the sultans and of all royalties and dominions, and then we bring the sheaf of seepters and put 1t down at the feet of Jesus and say, "Thou art King of kings; all these thou hast conquered" And then we go forth again to gather more trophies, and we bid the redeemed. of ages. the sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty. to come.

Powder Burns Tn Shooting Cases.


 Powder burns have played a curl ously important part before the courts" remarked a New Orleans lawyer who has a large criminal practice. Their presence or absence Is often depended upon to determine proximity In myste- rious shootings, and they have fire quently settled the question of suicide or murder where the fact was in doubt.
 "I was interested In a case of that kind In the early days of my practice and prevailed upon a prominent sur geon of this city who is now dead to ascertain for me by practical experi- ment upon a body in the dissecting room exactly how far away the ex- plosion of pistol would produce burns and powder marks. He used .32 cal iber revolver and found that the flame of the discharge made a distinct burn It a distance of 2h feet, and powder marks were left at . distance of more than two yards.
 "Of course the grains were not actu- ally driven into the skin. as they are at shorter range. but the marks were clearly discernible and could not be easily removed. l was surprised at the result. and 1t satisfied me that many erroneous conclusions had been draw from such evidence in the past It Is generally supposed that the weapon must be held almost against the skin to leave traces of flame and powder."- New Orleans Times Democrat.

will not heed, then in your dreams at night you may see on the hill back of Jerusalem the three spectacles-the right hand cross showing unbelief, dy- ing without Christ; the left hand. showing what it is to be pardoned, while the central cross pours upon your soul the sunburst of heaven as 1t says: By all these wounds plead for thy heart. I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Rivers cannot quench 1t. Floods cannot drown It." And while you look, the right hand cross will fade out of sight, and then the left will be gone, and nothing will re- main but the middle cross and even that in your dream will begin to change until 1t becomes a throne, and the worn face of Calvary will become radiant with gladness, and instead of the mad mob at the foot of the cross will be a worshipful multitude, kneel- Ing. And you and I will be among them.
 But, no; we will not wait for such a dream Tn this our most aroused mood we throw down at the foot of that mid die cross sin, sorrow, life, death-every- thing. We are slaves; Christ gives de- llverance to the captive. Weare thirsty; Christ is the river of salvation to slake our thirst. We are hungry; Jesus says, "I am the bread of life" We are condemned to die; Christ says, Save that man from going down to the pit; am the ransom" We are tossed on the sea of trouble; Jesus comes over 1t, saying, Tt Is I, be not afraid" We are in darkness; Jesus says, "I am the bright and morning star" We are sick; Jesus is the "balm of Gilead."
