Hesitation Il Ruin.


The young man hesitated at n time
when hesitation was ruin. and the bad
angel smotc the good angel until IL de-
parted. spreading wings through the
starlight. upward and away. until a
door swung open In the sky and for
ever the wings vanished. That was
the turning point in that young mans
history. for. the good angel flown. he
hesitatcd no longer. but started on a
pathway which is beautiful nt tho
opening. but blasted at last. The bad
angel led tho way through gate after
gate. and at each gate the road became
rougher and the sky more lurid, and,
what was peculiar. as the gate slam
med shut IL came to with a Jar that
indicated II would never open. Past
each portal there was n grinding OF
locks and n showing OF the bolts. and
the scenery on each side the road
changed from gardens TO deserts, and
the June air became n cutting Deem
Der blast. and the bright wings OF the
bad angel turned 10 sackcloth, and the
fountains that at the start had tossed
OF foaming blood. and on the right side
of the road there was a serpent, and
the man said TO the bad angel, What
is that serpent?" And the answer was.
''That Is the serpent OF singing re-
morse" On the left side OF the road
there was n Hon. and the man asked
the bad angel. What Is that lIon?"
Tho answer was. That is the lion OF
all devouring despair" vulture few
through the sky. and the man asked
the bad angel. what Is that vul-
ture7" The answer was. THAT Is the
yulture waiting for tho carcasses OF
the slain"
and when the man said 20 the bad
angel. What does all this mean? I
trusted In what you said al the street
corner: ! trusted IL all. why have
you thus deceived me-" Then tho last
deception fell OF the charmer and he
said: Il was sent from the pit to de-
stroy your soul. I watched my chance

itated that night at the street corner I
/ gained my triumph. Now you are
here. Ha. hal You are hcrcl Come.

Oh. young man, will the good angel
sent forth by Christ or the bad angel
sent forth by sin get tho victory over
your soul? Their wings are inter.

RECIPROCITY WITH CUBA.
Will Not Be Allowed to lnjurs Sugar
Interets Here,

Washington, Oct. 1S.-According to
the leaders of public opinion in Wash
ington. the presence here of Senior De
Abad. of Havana. as the avowed rep
resentative Of certain industrial inter-
ests of Cuba. has given rise to too posi-
tive and sweeping predictions as to the
character and extent of the reciprocal
commercial relations to be established
wit hthat island by the next congress-.
1t is pointed out that. to start with,
there is no certainty that any kind Of
reciprocity treaty can be secured at the
Forthcoming session of congress, for two
reasons. The first is the possibility that
before the first session of the tlfty-sev-
enth congress adjourns. some time next
spring or summer. the Cuban govern
ment may not be fully organized and
equipped. In this case reciprocity could
not be established in the near future.
because there would be no independent
and sovereign government In Cuba with
which congress could deal. The second
and more potent reason Is that there
appears to be considerably more opposi-
tion among the leaders in congress to
wholesale reciprocity with Cuba than is
bSHeIdiiy kuOWH. W1ldtcSeT Is done IN
the matter Will not be done hastily Gu
ba's two great interests, sugar and to-
bacco, will not be permitted to break
down those interests In this country. 1t
Is this consideration that is giving the
gravest concern to Cuba's best friends
in congress.
AT the game time. 1t 10 not doubted
that II there liz a Cuban government
with which to treat before the first
session Of the new congress adjourns.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Pickles of. vinegar will not keep in a
jar that has ever had any kind of grease
kept in it.
Lamp chimneys may be quickly clean
ed by rubbing them with clean soft
cloth and polishing with piece OF news
paper.
Clam shells nre more convenient for
scraping pots and kettles than knife,
requiring less tine to remove the burned
surfaces.
Half lemon dipped in salt and rubbed
on your ivory knife handles will restore
them to their original wilderness. After
doing this wash the knives at once in
warm water.
To renew the pristine lightness Of old
feather pillows let them out in summer
rain until they are thoroughly wet. Then
dry them, by pinning them to line and
finish by beating them.
To avoid wrinkling bodices and jackets
they should be hung on frames such as
men use for their coats, winding the
frames first with cloth or silk, upon
which, il. desired, orris or other sachet
powder may be sprinkled.
Cut glass, real or imitation, should
have the rough pattern brushed with a
stiff brush in strong suds. IL rubbed
with a piece of flannel dipped in alcohol
and then in whiting, its brilliancy is
much enhanced, Let the whiting dry on
the glass, then wash and rinse.

Roentgen rays should have been used to
locate the bullet. DR.. Mann says in his
report:
We were often asked why, after the
operation. we did not use the X-ray to
flrd the bullet. In the first place, there
were at on time any signs that the bull
LEI was doing harm, To have used the
N-ray simply to have satisfied our Curl
osity would not have been warrantable,
as 1t would have greatly disturbed and
annoyed the patient, and would have
subjected him also to a certain risk. Had
there been signs of abcess formation,
then the X-ray could and would have
been used
DR.. Gaylord believes that the repair to
the stomach wounds had been effective.
end says that the gangrene around these
wounds does not seem to have been the
result of any well defined cause. He at

as showing the track of the bullet. The

a culture taken from the wound dur
ins life showed several varieties OF
germs, but such showing Is rather ex-
perted in such cases. There were pres
ent two of the ordinary germs OF sup

examination OF various tissues and
fluids removed during the post mortem

concludes that .the absence of known

clusion that bacteria infection was not

preferred Apple. to . College.

About a century or SO ago, when the
commissioners who had in charge the Sc
lection of site for Bowdoin college were
attending to this duty. they pitched upon
New Gloucester, Me-, MS combining more
advantages than any other place they had
visited. hut the owner of the land refused
to part with it il it was to be used as the
site of college, though willing enough to
sell it il it was to be put to any other use.
The reason that he gave was that tho
students would steal the apples in an
orchard in which he took great pride. So
it seems that this is the reason why New
Gloucester is noted for its apples rather
than as being the seat of Bowdoin COLI
slege.

ed to Cuba. This statement is based
on promise known to have been made
by the late President Mckinley, Sec
rotary Root. Senator Plat, of Connecti-
cut and others authorized to speak for
the administration on the occasion of
the visit TO Washington last May Of a
delegatioe representing the Cuban con-
stitutiOnal convention. AT that time the
convention at Havana was in rather
discouraging snarl over the incorpora-
ton into the organic law of Cuba. of the
Plat amendment defining the political
relations between Cuba and the United
States. 1t was understood perfectly
we'll in Washington that the cause OF
the threatened deadlock in the conven-
ton was the desire of the Cuban consti-
tuition makers to exact from the respon-
sible authorities here some promise of
commercial concessions. Without decid-
ing on details the president, Secretary
Root, Senator Platt and others who con-
ferred with the visiting delegates here
agreed in a general way to make. with
the consent of congress. certain conces-
sions to Cuba at the proper time. Out
of this tentative agreement has grown
the confident talk, both in Cuba and
this country, of solemn pledge to give
Cuba reciprocity.
In denial of the giving Of such a
pledge as this. attention Is called TO the
fact that there is wide and important
difference between Cornerstone and
reciprocity" In speaking Of the sub
|ject Senator Plat. Of Connecticut, the
leader in all Cuban legislation, always
uses the word Concessions and never
Reciprocity 1t is explained that
concessions" conveys an entirely diff
ferent meaning from Reciprocity" For
example, in this sense concession means
the giving Of valuable considerations
without necessarily getting anything in
return. On the other hand, reciprocity
means simply concessions by both sides
for mutual trade benefits. 1t is con-
tended that there could be no mutual
benefit In concessions on the part OF this
government to Cuban tobacco and sug-
ar, because those interests In this coun-
try would suffer greatly from competf-
tion with the cheap labor and superior
climatic and soil conditions of the is
land Therefore 1t is understood that
whatever notable concessions are made
to Cuba will be with the view of build
ing up other industries OF the island
than those Of sugar and tobacco. In or
der that by thus strengthening the gen
eral productive energies of Cuba the in
sular republic will be better able to get
its tobacco and sugar into the markets
OF the world and compete with the Unit
ed States rather than be permitted to
crush the tobacco and sugar industries
OF this country thru free access to Its
ports. To this extent only Will there
probably be reciprocity with Cuba.
