OWE NO MAN ANYTHING.
Romans Kill Chapter and VII Verse.

The most striking event that ever
confronted me In the history Of my
life was that of Sunday, July 9Th,
1900, at the Fair Grounds, when one
OF the members OF the West Virginia
Central Agricultural and Mechanical
Society, on that Sabbath morning,
about 8 O'Clock, drove up TO the gate
and demanded the balance OF their
money, s25, or discontinue the camp
meeting. At the time we were dumb
founded, 1t being Sunday and we not
having any money TO any amount on
our person. However, we Informed
him, that, II he would wait a short
time until some of the Officers OF the
church arrived, we would satisfy him.
Soon one OF the ot1lcials came, and up
on mentioning IL to him, he at once
presented US the money with which to
pay the bill. This member Of the Sc
ciety seemed surprised, when he saw
how easily we could secure s25. He
then related to US the reason for being
SO exact with us In his business trans
actions. He said for several years they
had been cheated by the negro preach
ers Of this city and they had come to
the place wherethey feel they could
not trust any. Fhis made our hearts
bleed to thinkhthere were preachers
who SO continually Travelled upon the
line of ..dead-beats, +" for If the church
with its leaders are "dead:beats,'
what more can we expect of the world;
for If the righteous scarcely are saved,
where shall the ungodly and sinner
appear? LIST Peter, iv chap. and xviii
verse. But In the presence of two of
our officials, we asked him II our
church had ever beaten company out
Of a dollar, and he answered not to his
knowledge. / then asked him to take
the telephone and call up Parkers-
bury, w. Va, West Middletown,
Sewickly or Allegheny, Pa, and If in
all fodr of those places, he could find
five dollars against me, | would say no
more. We want the white people, as
well as our own people, to know that
in our conference we are taught that
honesty is the best of policy, and that
our discipline says, any personin our
church contracting debts without an
intent to pay them, shall be expelled
from the church, the same applies TO
the ministers. We are sorry such a
state of affairs exists and we wish to
say that no man is fit to preach in our
churches or teach in our publicschools
who will not pay his honest debts, for
he is not a preacher or teacher, but
a corruptor of tile morals of our par
cnts and children, and we will raise
our voice against any preacher or
teacher, who, knowing their stay in
the city is uncertain, would contract
debts and not pay them, thus leaving
city in worse condition than they
found it: for what one negro does
wrong, brands the whole race, as we
all know.

From Washington
How a Little Boy Was Saved.

Washington, D. C.-"When our boy
was about Is months old he broke out
with a rash which was thought to be
measles. In few days he had a swell
ing on the left side of his neck and
it was decided to be humps. He was
given medical attendance for about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered a salve. He
wanted to lance the sore, but 1 would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months, when
the bunch broke in two places and be-
came a running sore. Three doctors
said it was scrofula. and each or
dered a blood medicine. A neighbor
told me of a case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. 1 decided to give it to
my boy and in short while his health
improved and his neck healed so nice
ly that stopped giving him the med
icine. The sore broke out again. how
ever, whereupon 1 again gave him

use has accomplished a complete

IRISH SUPERSTITIONS.
Story of a Stone That Was Believed
to Possess q Pernicious
Power.

On Inishkea a particular family
handed down from father to son stone
called the Ne-ogue probably part of
some image), with which the owners
used to- make the weather to their Iill-
ing. One day party Of tourists Wis
tied Inishkea, heard of the Ne-ogue,
saw it and wrote about it in the papers
The priest in whose parish Inishkea
lay either had not known of this sur
vival of paganism or thought that no
one else knew of it, but when the
thing was made public he decided to
act. So he visited the island, took the
Ne7ogue and broke it up into tiny frag-
ments and scattered them to the four
winds. The priest was sacrosanct, but
the islanders vowed vengeance and an
unfortunate man of science who had
lived some time among them was
pitched upon as certainly the person
who had made the story public. This
man after some time returned to COM
plete his Investigations at Inishkea
and was warned of danger: but he
laughed at the idea, and said the people
were his very good friends, as indeed
they had been. However, he was hard
ly out of the boat before they fell upon
him and beat him SO that he never COM
pletely recovered-indeed, died in con-
sequence of his injuries some years
later.
Probably like fate would befall
anyone who touched the cursing stone
on Tory, which was turned on" the
Wasp gunboat after she brought a
posse of bailiffs there to levy county
cess; and, as every one knows, the
Wasp ran on Tory and lost every soul

And then the carriage reached the en-
trance to the reservation and the sub

were for the time forgotten. Possibly
for this, for hardly had they rounded
the bend in the road that brought them
in full view, from the left, or southern
flank, of the long line of masses in
which the brigade was formed, than
there came cantering up to them, all

coquetry, their hostess of the evening al

was a triumph of art, and it we'll became
her petite, rounded figure.
No one who really analysed Mrs.
Frank Garrison's features could say
that she was a pretty woman. No one
who looked merely at the general effect
when she was out for conquest could
deny it. Col. Armstrong, placidly OBJ
servant as usual, was quick to note the
glances that shot between the cousins
on the rear seat as the little lady came
blithely alongside. He knew her, and
saw that they were beginning to be as
wise as he, for the smiles with which
they greeted her were but wintry re-
Elections of these that beamed upon her
radiant face. Prime, paterfamilias,

manner from that instant.

KANSAa.

How brief the stay. as beautiful as fleeting,
The time that baby came with us to
dwell;
Just long enough to give happy greeting.
Just long enough to bid us all farewell.
Death travels down the thickly settled
highway,
At shining marks they say he loves to

How did he find Tar down our lone byway,
Our little girl who died without name?
We do not know the fond endearment
spoken
To which she listened when she fell
asleep,
And SO beside n column. that was broken
We laid her to her slumber, calm and
deep;
We traced upon the stone with loving fin
gers
These simple words. affections tears to
claim:
''In dreams beyond all earthly sorrow ip

She sleeps serene where fragrant messy

In sweet and wordless tunes forever

Where summer seas in long and fadeless
pillows,

of the victor. While the latter was led
away by the obedient Mr.. Ellis lest the
sight of him should bring on another
nervous attack, Mrs. Garrison was suf-
fering herself to be comforted. Her
nerves were gone, but she had not lost
her head. Lots of Preside danes and

swell" surroundings. With n little
tact and management she might even
arrange matters so that, willy nilly. her
friends would drive her thither instead
of taking Col. Armstrong back to
camp. That would be n stroke worth
playing. She owed Stanley Armstrong
a bitter grudge, and had nursed it long.
She had known him ten years and hated
him nine of them. Where they met and

She was four years his senior, if the
chaplain could be believed, and five

ever might have been the discrepancy
in their ages at the time of the cere-
mony no one would suspect the truth
who saw them now. 1t was he who
looked aged and careworn and
harassed, and she who preserved her
youthful bloom and vivacity. e.
And now, as she reclined as though
still too weak and shaken to leave the
carriage and return to saddle, her quick
wits were planning the scheme that
should result in her retaining, and his
losing, the coveted seat. There was lit
