Just how much he hears is open to

Mr.. Ketcham had been in Con-
gress so long that he had used no all
the patronage to which he was en-
titled, and couldn't get any more
places for his constituents. But one
day this spring he called on Mr..
Gage.
"There Is man up in my town."
he explained, "who must be fixed
and | want you to fix him"
Il can't do it." replied Gage, land

my department"
Yes, that's what he wants. said
Ketcham, "a place in your depart
ment."
The secretary looked at his visitor
intently, and said, in a lower tone !:
The civil service rules cover all APP
! pointments under twelve hundred
or fifteen hundred dollars year"
Mr.. Ketcham removed his hand
from his right ear and replied:
That will be satisfactory. He
will not expect more than twelve
hundred dollars year."
Mr.. Gage was growing desperate.

body, and more especially on public
works, and get in return only. his
victuals and clothes, quietly and with
out the knowledge and consent of the
keeper, left prison life and came to town

has an eye to business, came across him
and knew his ear marks. He rearrested

A man must believe himself

No sinner ever came to Christ

on the way.
No man can resolve himself in
to heaven.
If you wish to possess love for
Gods word, study it diligently,

A great many people think they
have been born again because
they go to church. Let me say
that there is no one that goes to
church so regularly as Satan.
When man is thought much
of in this world, it is quite likely
Christ won't have much to say
for him in the next world.
We are naturally all bad. Who
