The Talent OF Persuasion.

Make good use of it, We all have it
to some extent, yet none of us thinks
of it as a talent. But it is the
mightiest of talents: Do you know
that this one talent will fetch the
world back to God? Do you know it is
the mightiest talent of the high heav-
ems? Do you know that it is the one
talent chiefly employed by all theangels
of God when they descend to our world
the talent of persuasion? Do youreal-
ize that tie rough lumber lifted into a
cross on the hill back of Jerusalem
was IN persuasion as we'll as sacrifice?
That is the only, absolutely the only,
persuasion that will ever induce the
human race to stop it's march toward
the city of destruction and wheel
around and start for the city of light.
Now may the Lord this moment show
each one of us that to greater or
less extent we have that one talent of
persuasion and impel us to the right
use of it. You say you cannot preach
a sermon, but cannot you persuade
someone to go and hear a sermon?
You say you cannot sing, but cannot
you persuade some one to go and hear
the choir chant on Christmas or Eas-
ter morning? Send bunch of flowers
TO that invalid in the hospital, with a
message about the land where the in
habitants never say II am sick" There
is child of the street. Invite him into
the mission school. There is man
who has lost his fortune in speculation
/ Instead Of jeering at his fall go and
| tell him of riches that never take
wings and fly away. Buckle on that
one talent OF persuasion. o man, o wo-
man. and you will do work that
heaven will celebrate 10000 years.

REDEEM1NG STAMPED CHECKS.
Much Delay Occnsioned by the Strin-
gency of the Law.

The belated check books are still pour
ing in upon the division of the Internal
Revenue Bureau charged with counting
and redeeming the imprinted check
stamps. They come in big dry goods
boxes. small grocery boxes, pasteboard
boxes, cloth bags, and paper packages.
AS fast as they arrive at the Treasury
they pass through the hands of a group
of women whose number has gradually
grown till they occupy two rooms. where
an identifying entry of each parcel is
made in a book, and a tag attached to the
wrapper is marked with blue pencil in
such a manner that the record can be re-
ferred to with ease. The parcel is then
carried out and laid upon one of the heaps
in the third story corridor. A great many
thousand books have already come in. SO
that the outer wall of the corridor for
long distance is hidden behind the stacks
o. parcels.
A notion seems to prevail in quarters
where there ought to be better judgment.
that the Commissioner of Internal Reeve
nue. is needlessly obstructing private bust
ness by delaying the redemption of these
check stamps on technical grounds. The
truth is that all the authorities of the
Treasury, and the legal advisers of the
Commissioner and Secretary, have been
called into conference to see what can
be done to relieve the situation. IL is
public business rather than private which
has been obstructed. and every effort has
been made in vain to find some way con-
sistent with law of setting the books free,
clearing the corridors, letting the clerks
detailed from other work go back to their
regular occupation, and release the
watchmen whom the Commissioner is
Obliged to keep on guard over the stacks
of books at all hours.
The Dockery law about vouchers, how
ever, is imperative. and the stamps
are the only vouchers in this class Of
transactions. they must be kept at the
Treasury after the money they represent
is paid out. Moreover, every stamp must
be counted and accounted for. 1t is
thought by some of the old hands who
have watched the deluge OF books come
in that it may be necessary to do in this
case as was done in the case of the war
loan-enSage quarters outside of the de-
partment hire 100 or 500 temporary clerks
and push them day and evening till the
last imprinted stamp is out of the way.
The impatient authors of newspaper COM
munications who assume that II is the
mere work of n few days to receive and
acknowledge the stamps. cancel them,
and send the owners the money would
need only once glance at the accumula-
ton up to the present date to be con-
WINGED of their error.

A PHILIPPINE EXHIBIT.
Plan to Have the Islands Represent
ed Mt st. Louis.

John Barrett, formerly Minister to
Siam. who has been appointed as Com
missioner General of the Louisiana Pur-
chase Exposition for Asia, was at the
War Department yesterday and had a
conference with Secretary Root regarding
plans for a Philippine exhibit at the st.
Louis fair Mr. Barrett will make an
effort to have the exhibit Of the Filipinos
of especial interest. showing the resources
of the islands, the commercial and educa-
tional development, and the characteris-
tics of the various tribes.
He expects that the insular government
will make an appropriation for the erec-
tioa of a large building, and that by
means of the part which the Filipinos
will take in the big fair. they will be
brought into closer contact with the
American people and American institu-
tons. 1t is expected that the Fflipinos
will approve the suggestion and advance
the movement.
Several years ago they held an expo
sition in Manile which attracted wide at
tention in the Orient. and was note
worthy for the diversified character OF
it's exhibits.
Mr.. Barrett will not leave for the East
until some time in December. He will
first attend the meeting of the Interna-
tional Congress which Is to be held in the
City of Mexico, to which he is dele
gate from the United States. He will
visit Hawaii and Japan before going to
the Philippines, where he expects to in
terest Governor Taft and the members
of the Philippine Commission In the mat

NUCLEUS OF A CUBAN ARMY.
Captain AuItman Recruiting Men to
Serve ON the Island.

The War Department has received re-
ports detailing the organization of the
nucleus of what is to be the Cuban army
At present it comprises 15s Cubans. who
are to be stationed at Cabana Fortress.
Capt. d. L. Aultman. of the Artillery
Corps. has been in charge of the recruit
ing, discipline, and training of the men,
who have now become capable soldiers.
The requirements for the recruits are
the same are applied to men enlisted
for the American Army. except that the
period of service is for two years instead
Of three while the chest measurement of
recruits may De lowered one incl on ac-
count of the smaller stature of the Gu
bans. The uniform will be of khaki. with
a distinctive insignia. such as knots on
the shoulders. The cap will be similar to
that worn by the rural guard and the
leggins the same as those in use by the
police of Havana.
The pay of these Cuban soldiers will be
the same as that of soldiers of the Artil
lery Corps of the army, and payments
are to be made monthly from the island
funds. The recruits will be instructed in
the school of the soldier and, when thor
oughly proficient therein. well trained and
disciplined in the coast artillery defences.
This is the first step toward the forma-
ton of Cuban army.

Free trade between the United states

coffees which will come to Csba on raw

crediting the Porto Rican coffee and
damaging commerce. To avoid TINS I'M
