The Right Armor.

We are exhorted by Peter to be armed
with the mind of Christ The express
sion is somewhat striking and very sIg-
gestive. He speaks in the previous
chapter Of "the ornament of a meek
and quiet spirit" and Paul also exhorts
Christians to "adorn themselves with
shamefacedness and sobriety through
good works" That graces and virtues
Of various kinds make us more beauti-
full and attractive in the sight Of God
and man, is q familiar thought; but
that they make us stronger and better
fitted to fight, IS q reflection of another
kind. even more important. Is there any
particular asn"ct or phase of the mind
of Christ which can be regarded as es-
pecially referred to in this eXhortation
and especially fitted for the equipment
Of the Christian soldier? We think
there is. The context shows that civ
Ing to the will Of God" was what the
apostle had in his thought rs the express
mind of Jesus. And surely nothing
more exactly meets the case 9TH in ref
erence TO him and to It's. How often
did He say. II came down from heaven.
not to DO Ny own will but the will of
Him that sent Me-" "AIy meat is to do
the will of Him that sent Me and to ac-
complish His work." II seek not Mine
own glory" II do nothing Of Myself"
II DO always the things that are pleas
ing to Him" This, then, plainly, was
the very mind of Christ-absolute de-
votion to the will Of God, even if that
led to the sevrrest suffering. The spirit
Of the cross was the spirit Of Jesus, the
spirit Of ministry and self-surrenier for
the good of others.-Zions Herald.

A Mechanics New Idea.

A mechanic about thirty years of age,
having o wife and four children, was wont
to step into beer saloon close by twice
day and pay five cents each for two glasses
of beer. For many months he did this,
under the impression that it was necessary
for a hard working man. But one day,
while toiling at his bench, new and bet
ter idea took possession Of his mind. :,
II am poor" he said within himself;
'my family needs every cent earn; it is
growing more expensive every year; soon
I shall want to educate my children, Ten
cents day for beer Let me see-that is
cixty cents week, even if drink no beer
on Sunday. Sixty cents a week! That is
s3l2o a year! And it does me no good;
It may do me harm! Let me see," and
1ere he took pie., of chalk and solved
the problem on q board. II can buy two
barrels of -four, 100 pounds of sugar, i've
pounds of tea and six bushels of potatoes
for that sum-" Pausing a moment, as II
to allow the grand idea to take, full pos,
session of him, he then exclaimed: Il Will
never waste another cent on beer" And
he never has.

Thomas's Temperance Talk to the

In his charge to the Grand Jury at

stand it. l used to drink some, and I am
a pretty thorough American. I never
liked to 60 up against game that l could
not beat sometimes, and they always could
make whisky faster than could drink it.
That was not all that made me quit it's
use, either. When I came to preside as
Judge, and had to sentence men to the
penitentiary for introducing liquor, I felt
and knew that in order to maintain my
self-respect I had to be on pretty good
terms with the fellow | slept with, and |
could not be guilty of the same crime and
conscientiously enforce the law.
ut is against the law to introduce in
toxicating liquor into the Indian Territory,
whatever its name, whatever its compost

to introduce it; it is against the law to sell
it; it is against the law to give it away.
Suppose you buckle on the armor good and

the solemn oath you have taken, conclude
that you will help the officers of the law

"Why, the man who will sell whisky is

The Two Laws.

We are the creatures of law in this
world, and il all worlds. The whole
creation is governed by it; every force
is instinct with it. In the midst Of this
universal power which guides and
shapes things, making one fine accord,
strange spectacle is seen. Man, the
highest earthly creation, does not join
in the harmony The animals are con-
trolled by one law. From the first th?y
obey, with consistent action, the instinct
of sclf-preservation. The angels live by
one lava divine principle. in which
goodness, strength and beauty find con-
slant and unvarying expression. But
the human creature lives by two laws
the earthly and the heavenly; two op-
posing forces are ever at work in his
nature, one drawing him upwards, the
other dragging him towards the earth.

PUNISHMENT OF THE CADETS.
Men Dismissed and Suspended Leave the
West Point Military Academy.


West Point, N. Y.-Captain Ed
ward Anderson, officer in charge for
the day, notified five cadets of the
Military Academy that they had been
summarily dismissed, and six others
that they had been suspended for one
year. All of the men Immediately
left West Point, with scarcely an op-
portunity to say goodbye to their
comrades.
Those dismissed were Henry L..
Bowlby, of Crete. Fourth Congression-
al District of Nebraska; John A.
Cleveland, of Linden, First Congress
sional District of Nebraska: Traugett
F. Keller. New York City, First Con-
gressional District Of New York; Ray
mond A. Linton, Of Saginaw. Eighth
Congressional District of Michigan;
Birchie o. Mahaffey, Of TeXarkana,
Fourth Congressional District Of Tex
as.
Those suspended were Olan c. Ale
shire, of La Harpe, Fifteenth Con-
gress District of Illinois; Benjamin E.
Mcclellan, of Tallulah. Fifth Congress
District of louisiana; James A. Shan
non, of Duluth. Sixth Congress Dis
trict of Minnesota; Charles Telford,
of Bountiful, Utah; Thomas N. Gim-
perling, of Dayton. Third Congress
District of Ohio; Harry Hawley, of
Troy, Nineteenth Congress District Of
New York.
The technical charge against the
suspended men is that of taking part
in. aiding, and abetting the "mutinOus
demonstration of April 16." Those dis
missed are now upon the same footing
as men dishonorably discharged from
the regular army.

DYNAMITER SELF-KILLED
Man Suspected Of Wrecking the
Cambridgeport Bank Suicide
Police Saw He Tried to Destroy q Check,
For Which He Had No Deposit
in the Institution.

For Which He Had No Deposit
in the Institution.
Cambridge, Mass.-While in the GUS
tody of Chief Inspector Murray on
suspicion of being the man who
wrecked the interior of the Cam
bridgeport National Bank with dyn-
amite, Fred G. Foster, carpenter,
shot himself through the breast, and
died a few minutes later. Suspicion
was directed against Foster first
when Theodore Raymond told the
police that he had seen Foster on the
stairway Of the bank building short
ly before the explosion occurred.
In consequence of the statement
of Mr.. Raymond and other circum-
stances the police visited the home OF
Foster and asked him to accompany
them to police headquarters. The
man went willingly enough, and was
in consultation with Inspector Muir
ray, Chief of Police Cloyes and Spec
ial Officer Cox.
The detained man was asked di-
rectly if he had anything to do with
the blowing up of the CambridSeport
National Bank. and he answered
firmly that he was responsible in no
way for the explosion. He admitted
that he had been purchasing stock
lately. Recently he purchased 11O0
shares of the National Tire 1nfater
Company stock, and as payment for
this drew a check for S1100 on the
Cambridgeport National Bank. This
check, it was learned at the bank,
passed through the usual channels,
and arrived in Cambridge, where it
was declared worthless.
Foster also admitted that several
weeks ago he drew up check for
$3.50 on the Cambridgeport ban: as the
receiver of the Harvard Lodge. Ancient
Order Of United Workmen, and was
payable to the Treasurer Of the Su-
Dreme Lodge When it came into the
possession of the Cambridgeport bank
the officials discovered that the funds
of Harvard Lodge intruSted to them
were not sufficient to meet 4 check for
$3.50. and they protested the paper.
After the consultation Foster eX-
pressed q desire to see his wife and
Inspector Murray accompanied him
home. On reaching the house Foster
kissed his wife and asked her to take
good care of the children. He also
told her that the police could never
rrove that he was the man that had
caused the bank to be blown up. In
a few moments he remarked that he
would like a drink of water and went
into the dining room with Murray
about two yards behind. Suddenly
Foster pulled a revolver from his
pocket and shot himself. He made
no statement at the hospital.
Assuming that the man had placed
the dynamite on the stairway of the
bank building the police are unable to
say whether it was done with the in
tention of destroying the protested
check for S1100 or with the eXpecta-
ton of being able to obtain money
with which to meet the payment of
the check. They are inclined to ac-
cept the former theory as the more
plausible.

PINE TREES ATTACKED BY WORMS.
Said to Be as Dangerous to Human Beings

White Plains, Va. The pine trees
throughout this section Of Virginia are
being attacked and the leaf or tag
eaten by countless numbers Of spe-
cies Of worm, the identity of which is
at present unknown.
A boy bitten by one of them recently
was thrown into convulsions and his
life was saved only by the aid Of a
physician. The doctor says they are
as dangerous as moccasin snake.
Specimens have been forwarded to

what species they belong. 1t Is feared
that the trees may be killed by these
