Craven on Gods Hand.

There is another and a more COM
plete defeat for oblivion, and that is in
the heart of God himself You have
seen a sailor roll up his sleeve and
show you his arm tattooed with the
figure of a favorite ship, perhaps the
first one in which he over sailed. You
have seen a soldier roll up his sleeve
and show you his arm tattooed with
the figure of a fortress where he was
garrisoned or the face of dead gen.
eral under whom he fought. You have
seen many hand tattooed with the
face of loved one before or after mar
riage This custom of tattooing is al
most as old as the world. 1t is some
colored liquid punctured into the flesh
so indelibly that nothing can wash 1t
out. 1t may have been there fifty
years, but when the man goes into his
coffin that picture will go with him on
hand or arm. Now, God says that he
has tattooed us upon his hands. There
can be no other meaning in the forty
ninth chapter of Isaiah, where God
says, Behold, l have craven thee on
the palms of my hands" 1t was as
much us to say: 81 cannot open my
hand to help, but l think of you. /
cannot spread across my hands to bless
but think of you. Wherever l go up
and down the heavens l take these two
pictures of you with me. They are so
inwrought into my being that l can
not lose them. AS long as my hands
last the memory of you will last. Not
on the back of my hands, as though
to announce you to others, but on the
palms of my hands, for myself to look
at and study and love. Though l hold
the winds in my fist, no cyclone shall
uproot the inscription of your name
and your face. and though / hold the
ocean in the hollow of my hand, it's
billowing shall not wash out the
record of my remembrance. Behold, /
have craven thee on the palms of my
handsl'"

MODERN SHIP WRECKERs.
Their Business Instead of Destroying
ships Is to Save Them.

Their Business Instead of Destroying
ships Is to Save Them.
Although the work of destroying
derelicts at sea falls upon government
shoulders, it is not little remarkable
that the work of salvage-the work of
raising wrecks. and of rescuing dere-
licts, when possible, from destruction
is entirely in the hands of private
corporations.
1t is an interesting experience to
spend a morning in the offices of one
of the great salvage "wrecking" COM
panies. which have now become so es-
sential for the welfare of a maritime
nation, not only because they save
the majority of fine vessels that are
driven into positions of peril, but be-
cause they keep clear channels in all
the worlds ports.
On one of the walls a large slate
will be noticed which tells the exact
position of every ship that has re-
Gently been disabled. If the day hap
pens to be stormy, with great seas
rolling outside the harbor. tne tele-
phone and telegraph wires are kept
busy.
Instructions flash over the wires;
specially constructed boats, fitted with
every necessity, from divers to der
ricks, are dispatched with all haste
to the scene of the accident; officials
hurry to the fatal spot, while the
company's photographer puts his
traps together to be able to provide
pictorial reports of the work as it pro-
crosses.
From rendering assistance to har-
Dor tugs which have run aground-a
task which occupies only few hours
the work ranges to saving great
liners or disabled ships of war, invol-
wing operations on gigantic scales, not
likely to be completed within weeks
or even months.
The old-time word "wreckers" has
today completely lost it's original mean
ing and fascination. The wreckers OF
romance and history lived by plum
dering wrecks. for which they them
selves were responsible as often as
not. The wreckers of today live by
an honorable calling, for the wreck
ing of a ship now means the saving
of ship and cargo for the benefit Of
her lawful owners.

A CIVIL WAR HORSE EAoE.
A Story That Goes to Show That War
Is Not All Tragedy.

Is Not All Tragedy.
War is not all tragedy. Our boys"
on both sides in the civil war found
plenty of time between battles to
amuse themselves with a variety of
sports. In Kentucky there was some
sort of horse race every tine an army
paused to take a long breath. On one
occasion Lieut.. Saunders, of the -th
Kentucky, matched his "Blue Grass"
thoroughbred against a wiry little
mustang owned by Capt. Garland. Of
the til Texas, for $500 side.
Saunders was to ride his own horse.
but the captain. being a large man,
had to find a jockey for his mustang,
and in looking among the troops
chose a young private in Saunders
own regiment, a Louisville boy of the
name of John Eston Keller, a cousin
of the famous author of John Eston
Cooke.
The race was called on the follow
ing day at 8 o'clock. Saunders was
promptly at the post with his splendid
brown mare, but no rider appeared for
the Texans mustang. 81 got a young
chap to promise to ride last night"
said Capt. Garland to the judges. but
he hasn't turned up. I don't remem-
Der his name and don't know where
to find him." Keller advanced from
the crowd, saying: I'm the person
you are talking about, | reckon, but
thought the whole thing was joke.
Do you mean that you really want me
to ride that mustang against Lieut..
Saunders mare?" "Of course | do"
returned the captain. 81 mean bust
ness. It's bona fide match, and IL |
don't run I'll pay forfeit. Get upl"
ANY tricks?" "No. Perfectly sensi-
BILE little horse and as honest as you
are yourself. Do all you ask of him."
When the signal was given the mare
led off, with the mustang at her with
ers.
1t was a half-mile track somewhere
in the southern part of the state. and
the race being a mile, the horses mad
to go around twice. Soldiers thronged
the course, leaving only narrow
lane for the contestants. Passing the
judges on the first lap. the mustang
was lying easily alongside the mare.

race the other day, said: 81 knew ne

termination and grit OF a bulldog, so
l lit into him. l logged him every
step of the way home. In vain the
mare tried to shake him off. Saunders

Another defeat of oblivion will be

work done will be immortalized. There

your work on it will last. Do you sup

invited him to Christ; that you, by
prayer or gospel word, turned him
round from the wrong way TO the right
way? No such insanity will ever smite

THE BOROFSKY BILL

Representative Borofsky, author of
the Borofsky bill was in Worcester Sat
urday and stirred up the Hebrew vot-
ers in favor of Mr.. Walsh and Mr..
Mooney, and especially against Mr..
Manning. because he voted against the
Borofsky bill. That was bill to allow
Hebrews and others who believed Sat
urday to be the Sabbath, and observed
it as such, to keep open their stores and
do business on Saturday nights and all
day Sunday 1t passed the House owing
to the work of Mr.. Borofsky and out of
sympathy for him, but received only
six votes in the Senate. Those who OPP
posed it as Mr.. Manning did believed
that a day of rest is needed and that
it cannot be secured except by all
agreeing upon the same day. They also
believed, as did many of the leading
Hebrews of Boston and of Worcester,
that the privilege would be abused by
many and that discredit would be brought
on the Hebrews as a whole, and that
jealousies and bitter feeling would be
caused. They believed that people who
come to this country should abide by
the laws and not have special
privileges

NEGROES COLLEGES

At the time Of the uproar over the
Booker T. Washington dinner, an at
tempt was made in certain quarters
to create the impression that some dis
elimination had been shown at Welles-
ley College against Mr. Washington's
daughter, Miss Portia Washington, who
is a special student there. The allega-
tions at the time they were made were
declared to be groundless.
Miss Washington is NOW quoted by
the Boston Advertiser as having said
she has not had the slightest reason
to feel that there might be such a thing
as a color line in Wellesley. Everybody
has been as pleasant as possible to
her, and she is having an enjoyable
time
Portia Washington is IS years old.
She has taught a little at Tuskegee,
and is studying German and music in
order that she may be of greater as
sistance to her father in his work. She
strongly resembles her father, it is
said. Her manner is described as
very agreeable. In speaking on topics
in which she is interested she becomes
very animated, though ordinarily she
is rather quiet and shy.
The treatment accorded to Miss
Washington at Wellesley is, no doubt,
very much like that shown toward
young colored men at Northern col
leges. So far as the attitude of the
institutions is concerned they stand on
perfect equality with other students.
OF their relations with the fellow stu
dents, colored young men as a rule
have no reason for complaint. To say
that the color does not make any diff
ference might not be quite correct;
nor would it be correct to say that
money and family are of no account in
determining a mans position in the
social life of his college. 1t may b
said truly, on the other hand, that col
ored men in Northern colleges win re-
spect according to their merits, and
are by no means barred from sharing
the pleasures of academic life

Governor insolvency of South Caro-
lima, is evidently a good friend to the
boys. AS he was walking in Columbia,
Friday might, a boy, who was being
marched to the police station by an Of
ficer for having played some prank,
seized the governor by the arm, crying
out as he did SO: "Oh, governor, don't
let 'em lock me up" The policeman
tried to pull the boy away, but he chung
to the governor with all the strength
of desperation. Finally Governor Nc
Sweeney, good-naturedly went along
with boy and policeman to the station,
followed by a bowling mob of sympa-
thetic urchins. The members of the moi
sy band only made a louder uproar when
they came to the doors Of the police
station, and governor, policeman and
boy disappeared within. They stoutly
refused to go away, until the governor
had made a speech, and they felt as
sured that the boy under arrest would
be released-the very thing that hap
pened a few moments later.

HONESTY NECESSARY

1t was stated not long ago that thou
sands of acres of vineyards in what
is known as the Grape Belt" were be-
ing torn out, so that the land could
be devoted to other purposes than
grape-growing. Whether the report is
true or false, there is no doubt that
the grape-growing industry has re-
ceived several notable reverses.
Twenty-Five years ago the grape
growers Of the Great Lakes region
We're in a great degree, specialists
They entered the business, not alone
from the profits it promised, but, also
from the love Of vine-culture itself
That is. they had the same honorable
respect for their business that the best
professional men entertain toward their
callings. They placed their brands on
the baskets, and were careful not to
pack and ship fruit that could bring
discredit on their names as grape
growers and shippers. They studied
the best methods Of culture,-having in
mind always the Improvement Of the
fruit.
The realization Of fair returns on
amounts invested soon attracted the
attention Of nearly every farmer who
possessed any ground that would bear
grapes. In a little while the acreage
in grapes had increased enormously,
while the demand had not grown pro-
portionately. For this and the conse-
quent low prices the careless vineyard
lists were largely responsible. In their
hope Of outdoing one another they
threw aside sound business principles,
if they ever had them, picked a great
deal Of the fruit green, and flooded the
market with it early in the season year
after year. People throughout the
country therefore, have been more or
less cheated by irresponsible grape
growers, and, naturally, many Of them
have retaliated by ceasing to become
purchasers. The reputable men in the
grape business have been compelled to
suffer with the rest. A most excellent
and valuable industry has, in truth,
been dragged down by the men who
have engaged in it.
New England IS not a grape-groWlng
country, though it is the home of wild
grapes from which the Concord and
other excellent varieties were evolved.
1t has, however, become a heavy con-
sumner of grapes. and the market is
capable Of further development. Good
fruit, however, is demanded, not merely
at the seasons close, but at its be-
ginning as we'll If the vineyards are
being torn out. as stated, it is to be
hoped that ultimately the business will
