HAVEN'T STRUCK OIL. HAVE YoU9"

and then began inquiring in casual sort of way about Smiley's. oil strike.
 ''Of course" said he, pleasure comes under the wire ahead of busi- ness at time like this, but it seems to me you ought not to be neglecting your new oil well any longer
 My new oil well?" echoed Smiley, innocently.
 ''Why, yes; didn't you tell me you'd struck oil some weeks ago-the day met you over on the creek road?"
 q believe I did," acknowledged Smiley, with guilty blush, s'but I didn't tell you the kin4, or where I struck it. You see, when met you had just been over here and proposed to your daughter and been accepted, and I felt as if I were swimming in the oil of gladness up to my ears couldn't help it very well after win- ming girl like that, with the prospect of having the biggest ranch owner and leading citizen of the county for my faher-in-law-so when you asked me if had struck oil couldn't very we'll get around admitting that I had"
 Couldn't, eh?" said the colonel, with fatherly-sort of Spartan fa- therly-smile. s'Well, I guess you struck oil all right, that time, Mr. Smiley, and seeing Bertha is satisfied I suppose we may as we'll let by-gones don't you think you'd shine to better advantage as a lawyer, or a congress- man, or an operator in Wall street, or railroad president, or trust mag nate, or some such position as that? Rounding up cattle or boring for oil is altogether too prosaic and common place business for young man with your Napoleonic tactics and talents"
 ''No doubt you are right, father, in- terposed Bertha, shyly; "but then, you see, can't spare Jack from the ranch not even to make railroad pres ident of him."
 That's so; I came near forgetting that you have the first claim on him,'' and the colonel's smile softened some what. Well, guess we'll have to con- solidate the two ranches and make Jack general manager of the whole outfit. That will keep him pretty toll erably busy, guess, for six or eight keep him out of mischief the rest of the time. Eh, Bertha?"
 "All right, dad; I'll take the con- tract" said Bertha, throwing her arms around her fathers neck and sealing the bargain with a kiss.
 And the, matter was settled to the complete satisfaction of everybody, including the colonel.

 "All right, I will, thank you," said Smiley; and he more than kept his word
 He dropped in at the Brandon ranch thereafter not only once but twice in awhile, and even oftener; and the strange part of it was that the more frequently he came the better Ber- tha's father seemed to like it, and as for Bertha herself-well, she was as happy as girl generally is during the rose-colored days of courtship, espe- cially when the course of true love is running unexpectedly smooth.
 But one day a puzzled look came over her face and she said:
 q wonder, Jack, what makes father so wonderfully good nowadays? Have you hypnotized him?"
 That's all right, Bertha," respond ed Smiley, in 1ordly, off hand way. .I've got him fixed all right, and all you've got to do is to take things for granted"
 .'But how did you do it?" persisted she.
 "Oh, that's a little secret between ourselves. don't think your father would like to have me tell it, said Jack, tantalizingly-" is, of course, to anyone except my wife"
 .sOh, dear," sighed Bertha, ''have got to wait two whole weeks to find out?"
 Looks like it," said Jack, calmly, ssunless you change the date"
 "Well, I shall not do that-un- less I postpone it for a month just to punish you. I think you need dis ciplining in some way"
 "You couldn't be so cruel as that, could you, Bertha?'
 ''Yes-er-no, l don't believe I could even if you do deserve it.

rran.portinr GentIewOmen.

The subject of emigration for gentle women is attracting an increasing amount of attention throughout the British empire, both in the mother land. where the surplus and unem- ployed woman is a serious problem, and in the colonies, where these same women are sorely needed, says the New York Tribune. It is said this IS partly the result of the Boer war. The intense patriotism of the Boers and their faith in their cause is generally attributed to the lessons learned at home from the women. A life in the wilderness might not be regarded as alluring, but there are compensations, for while the average woman in the older countries is an unappreciable unit. even if not actually surplus, y the woman in pioneer society is an ace knowledged power.

A MOANING PRAYER.

When I shall seek. on pended knee.
 The strength that comes, o Lord. froH Thee, Teach me that from my heart say Thy will, not mine, be done this day. And when I rise to toll and care, May I some brothers burden share;
 Some life make stronger for its pain: Or sing with some glad refrain.
 May I the Masters spirit show,
 That some who labor here below
 May see the beauty of His face.
 And feel within His mighty grace.
 Keep me from sin in thought and deed, From every evil purpose freed;
 That life in service rich may be;
 In all things pleasing unto Thee. Rev. B. G. French, in Chicago Advance.

 The comment of the village critic in Massachusetts, who remarked after a performance by the Chicago orchestra that it is a long ways to bring drum from Chicago just to hit it once," calls to mind the excitement of Kan sas City at the first performance of Italian opera.
 The sale opened at eight in the morning and the night before half the town camped out in order to be early at the box-office. One of the richest men in the country round about was Uncle Andrew, and he shared in the general excitement although he "let on" that he was going merely to please his wife.
 The night of the enter tainment Un- cle Andrew arrayed himself in his very best clothes and was one of the first to arrive. The opera was "Lucia di Lam- mermoor,"' and the cast was we'll di- vided among Italians, Germans, French and English. A few minutes before nine o'clock the street door opened, and Uncle Andrew appeared. He walked solemnly back to the end of the room, pulled chair before the grate fire and sat down to smoke.
 Hello, Uncle Andrew" said one of the younger members, "I thought you were at the opera"

TEACHERS MONEY
Will Not be Here In Time for
Payment Saturday.

Frankfort, Ky, Nov. 6.
To County Supqrlntendents:-
The State Treasurer informs me
that he will be unable to pay the
school fund due the teachers on
Nov. 9th. This results from the
fact that the State Board of Equal
lzation was very late in complet-
Ing Its work this year, thereby
causing the sherllfs to be delayed
In securing their tax books, and
consequently behind in the colloc.
ton of taxes.
The Treasurer hopes to he able
to pay another 20 per cent. within
ten days or two weeks.
Very respectfully,
II. V. McCuEsNEy,
Supt. Of Public Instruction.

as We are", and how no could "suf-
fer being tempted. The remedy
In every temptation is not found In
the conclusion that sin Is unavoid-
able, nor in the Idea that regenera.
tion leaves "residue OF sin In usn,
but the remedy is found in the will
rejecting the solicitation to evil.
We learn secondly that the mind
God gave man In the creation is
the same mind that he carries with
him forever; that the "carnal
mind" is nothing more than this
same mind under the control OF
our tleshly nature-the course OF
carnal thinking; and that all that
Is necessary to destroy the mental
state called the "carnal mindp is to
"renew us In the divine Image and
take this same mind from under the
dominion OF our freshly nature, and
put II back under the control OF
the Holy Spirit and our renewed
spiritual nature, so that we Will
mot walk after the flesh hut after
the splrit". To say that the scar
nal mind survives the work Of re.
generation" is to say that a regen-
Grated man is not reconclled to
God, because the carnal mind Is
enmity against God"; hence re-
generation either destroys the car
nal mind or else 1t fails to recon.
clio us 10 God. According to st.
Paul the carnal mind is the "law
OF sin and DEATH that reigns in
the unregenerate, and from which,
Paul aflirms :, the claw OF the Spirit
makes us ireep and "lf the Son
make you free you shall be free
indeed; but Gi any man have not
this spirit OF Christ he is none OF
His".
This In The main was DR.. Bo-
lands argument-clear, analytical,
logical, convincing. He clothed
his argument with eloquent rhet-
orlc, and delivered 1t with the
warmth and feeling so characterls-
tic OF the man. He was given the
closest attention, and all present
must have felt more than ever
pleased with the good Doctors re-
turn to Louisa.
