Dear NJ. B. Friends.

Dear M. B. Friends:
The writersof the above poem of faith
and trust asks in a personal note: ''Do
write too often and take up too much
time and space?" An original poem
shows the hearts feelings and motives as
truly as prose article, and when the lines
convey sense OF comfort or sympathy, OF
hope or rest, they finger in the memory
the longer because the thought was ex-
pressed in rhyme. So your poems are al
ways welcome because some heart nc
doubt gets message from them which
is comforting and helpful.
There are more sorrowful, troubled
hearts jim the world than we know of or
realize, and the giving of our best and
hig hest thoughts to others, may meet
some need of soul of which we.are all
unconscious

Identity Yourself with the Church.

For the sake of others, as well as for
your own, identify yourself with the
Christian church; be not a visitor, but a
member. Example is more potent than
word The spectacle of dozen manly
men and womanly women walking up
the aisle to devote and dedicate their
lives to the cause of Christianity will
move q congregation more deeply

Witness ye men and angels; now
Before the Lord we speak;

A vow we must not break:
That long as life itself shall last
Ourselves to Christ we yield,
Nor from His cause will we depart

Lord, guide our doubtful feet Alright
And keep us in Thy ways,
And while we turn our VOWS to prayers
Turn Thou our prayers to praise.

RAILROAD ExPENolruREs.

The railroads Of the United States never
before had anything like as much business
as they have handled this year, and they
have. perhaps, never made 50 much
money.
The greater lines have found the de-
mands upon them too heavy for their
transportation facilities and they are all
Increasing their motive power and rolling
stock very heavily in the confidence that
the country's production win continue on
its present immense scale, IL it does not
actually increase.
1t seems likely that the present rush Of
railroad traffic viii cause some important
changes in the transportation facilities.
One Of it's effects has been to bring the
pressed steel car into rapidly increasing
use, because of its superior strength and
carrying capacity.
The Pennsylvania railroad has set apart
SIS. 100000 for the purchase Of 1900 pressed
steel freight cars. all of them to be oom-
pleted and delivered within y months.
Orders Of several Thousand cars of this
style and of from thirty to fifty powerful,
locomotives have recently been put In by
several other companies. The manufacture
ers of pressed steel cars find 1t Impossible
to keep up with their orders, though they
are constantly increasing their capacity.
The steel car costs no more than the
best styles OF wooden cars. but are more
durable and carry great deal more. A
full load for steel car is 10000 pounds
of ore, or 10000 pounds Of COAL which is
2io0O pounds more than tho capacity Of
the best wooden :.
Charles T. Schoen invented the steel car
ten years ago. but found it hard to induce
the railroads even to try them.
Only ECO were sold as late as the year
1898. Last year 14,4s4 steel cars were sold,
and this year the number VIA be far
| greater.
| Steel passenger cars are a-so made, but
they do not find anything like the favor
| that Is accorded to the steel freight cars.

pRIEEER SPEECHES IN couRT.

Judge Shaw. presiding over Guilford
North Carolina superior court last Friday
induced tho four attorneys in a suit be-
fore Eiul to limit their speechos 20 fifteen
minutes each. 4. ~
This action OF Judge Shaw has evoked
the high commentators. Of several North
Carolina newspapers and has given rise to
a demand for the restoration OF the for
mer North Carolina Jaw that gave the pre-
siding judge power to limit debate.
- Undoubtedly a great deal of time is
wasted by lawyers ia their speeches 10 ju-
ries. Judges as rule are too indulgent
IN this matter. To allow unnecessarily
long speeches I'm the trial OF cases is to
impose an unjust tax upon jurymen and
20 increase The expenses Of the courts be
yond reason
Many a lawyer docs himself injustice
by drawing out to attenuation arguments
that would have been far more effective
had they been presented IN more COM
pact and pointed sorm.
Juriss are ofsen. wearied out by these
lengthy speeches. -,s
Juries and county treasurers should lie
protected against lawyers who never
knox when TO stop speaking.

UNNECESSARY TAxATIoN.

The present immense and Increasing
surplus is as much an evidence of unnec-
essary and therefore unjust taxation as
It is OF the country's prosperity. The re-
port Of the treasurer of the United States
shows that the net ordinary revenues for
the fiscal year ended June 30 were. $751;
6S5 Ss7. an increase OF S2o.444.4s5 over the
previous fiscal year, and the receipts for
that year were the highest up TO date,
There was an increase in every source
of income, but il was largest in Internal
revenue.
The total expenditures for the last fiscal
year were s5s0.ss7 s52. an amount which
has been exceeded only four times. in 1863,
1864. and 1865 and In 1899 on account Of
expenses incurred in the war with Spain
and that fn.the Philippines.
The surplus. outside of the s15o,OOO,oOo
gold reserve amounted on June 90 10 w.
III. ss4
The surplus Is now Averaging 100000
and will probably be carried TO si5O,OOoO 600
by the end of the present fiscal year.
President Gage is again purchasing
bonds in order to prevent the aeeumpla-
ticn of a surplus so large that 1t viii be
standing temptation 10 extravagant APP
propriations and also to put more money
into circulation. Two per cent bonds au-
thorized by the act OF March A. 1900, have
been Issued to the amount of $445,94O7SO
and exchanged for bonds maturing in 1904,
1907 and 1905 and on october list all but
Ss6 1874 $50 of these bonds had been deposit
ed as security for circulation. .f
During the last fiscal year the countrys
-,oneta4v stock Increased more than $685.
100000 in gold ss7,OoOOoO in silver coin and
about Sle.0OOOOO in notes and certificates.
The active per capita circulation increased
from SIS TO $3.50 on October LIST.
The condition. OF the treasury is a pow
erfuI argument for a reduction Of taxes,
but the subsidy seekers and the hackers
of the other raids upon the surplus will
resist any movement toward its reduction.

\. Nevertheless the man was executed and
It was done in most disgusting manner.
When the trap was sprung the rope broke
and the seni.conscious wretch fell to the
ground. Another rope was secured after a
delay of some minutes and the half-dead
creature was dragged up to the scaffold
and dropped again. That time the rope
held and strangulation was soon effected.
1t is the duty of every sheriff who has to
hang man to provide rope that cannot
possibly break with the weight OF the VIC
tim. 1t is perfectly practicable for the
sheriff to make sure that it will not break
by trying 1t before he attempts the exec
cutfon.
This North Carolina Instance is the
third or fourth ono az its kind that has
been reported recently.
The carelessness indicated has become
so frequent as to suggest the necessity Of
some legal provision FOR tho better testing
of ropes to be used in executions.

The .AHenuated Attorney Who

Nothing but a Post-Mortem Exannf-

aE1rER PROTECTION ca eAME.

BETTER PROJECTION Or GAVE.
Several southern states have recently
provided better protection for game, and
It seems probable that this pelicy viii be
carried still further. 4t
Georgia did a wise thing by reducing the
season during which quail may be killed.
and Il could be cut down still further
with advantage. There is strong de-
mand IN South Carolina for a very short
deer-hunting season.
In spite of the reckless slaughter of
deer in that state. South Carolina still has
large numbers OF those noble animals,
and as they breed rapidly there they
would become much more numerous in
few years IL they were given reasonable
protection.
The Charleston News and Courier APP
poals for stringent legislation on this
subject. 1t says: 1
: There is no reason. IL appears, why
deer should not be as numerous in South
] Carolina as horses or mules and Tar more
7 so than sheep, IL that condition Is de-
| sirable The experience of another of the
Older states shows what can be done in
, the matter.
I'm Vermont the opon season covers but
ten days, and in that time one person can
kali or possess but ore deer, and no
shornless deer may be harmed. The PEN
aities for disobedience are very heavy,
and are rigidly enforced, and the severe
restrictions have resulted in filling the
state with the noble game in few years
II Is fairly soverrun with deer, says the
Springfield Republican. They attained
large numbers during close season.
which was maintained continuously lot
several years, and the restrictions thrown
al
lowed since 1896, prevent much destruction
among them"
The argument of The News and Courier
applies to Georgia as well as to South
Carolina. Deer are becoming so scarce
IN this state that the hunting of them ex-
cept for a very brief period every. year
should be prohibited under heavy penal
ties. II that were done they would In
cre6se, rapidly, and in a few years we
would have an abundance of them.
our experience with the abbreviated
ouafl season has given us an object lesson
of the wisdom and value Of strict game
protection that should move US to further
action. ..-
There Is in the south not only a tendency
toward closer restriction Of the game sea-
sons. but q closer watch for violators OF
game laws and an increasing determine
ton to enforce them.
II is now dangerous 70 shoot out OF sea-
son game that is protected in Georgia, as
some persons who have defed our game
laws have learned to their sorrow.
The present legislature would DO an ex-
cellent thing If it should reduce the quail
season still further and establish ten
day open deer season.
