In loud prayer, sometimes two or three
at once, encouraged and spurred by
shouts Of, Amen! Yes, Lord! Yes, Lord |!
Lord help! Lord help! Bless God. sA-a-

in rhythm, full-lunged, undivided into
parts, the mems rough tones tearing
like a buzz-saw thru the woman's shrill
treble, just the bare voices on tunes
that set the pulses beating like:
Depth of mercyl Can there be
Mercy still reserved for me
Come, trembling sinner. in whose
breast
A thousand thoughts revolve.'
Amid all this hubbub of enthusiasm,
the crucial moment arrives for one
young man. He has made the general
confession that he is a sinner In need OF
salvation. God has promised that who
soever cometh to Him, He will in no

Glory! AT the top of his lungs he shouts
GLORY! He springs to his feet. His
eyes set. The cords Of his neck stand
out. His mouth foams. He claps his
hands. He leaps up and down. crying,
laughing, dancing. He is saved! Saved
from burning he'll! His mother rushes
to him, weeping with joy. The others
join in the shout of triumph and the
holy laugh They strike up:

fire. Others, that hung hating, come
thru and rejoice with him in the as
surance of salvation. And then rises
that solemn hymn of ecstatic devotion,
whose quaint, almost Oriental melody l

the preface of the ancient plain song.

Over three-fourths of the iron and
steel products imported into Cuba dur

States, an increase of 81 per cent. Other
lines of trade make almost as good a
showing and ii is evident that with a
friendly government in the island this
country will supply practically all its
wants. What has been done in Cuba
can be done in large measure with all

and good relations are maintained with

THE cLoven HOOP DISCLOSED.

The republican state convention was
the scene of intense yet orderly excite
ment, the democratic state convention.
was a chaotic farce, but the State ANTI
Saloon League just held in Desr Moines
has provided the bitterest, most vindic-
tive and rioting contest of all, contest
in which Rev II. II. Abrams, the super
intendent and life of the league, was IN
tremendously thrown out of office and
denounced for the crime of daring to
say publicly that he would vote for
Cummins and the republican ticket be-
cause they We're more favorable to the
cal force in Iowa. The fierce partisans of
the league We're SO strongly welded to
the prohibition ticket and cause that
they We're unable to see any merit in the
long record Abrams has in fighting the
saloon interests. 1t was freely charged
and is probably true that the convention
was packed by third party prohibition
ists.
The Times-R Republican is not sup
porter or partisan of Abrams; it has
freely criticised his personal methods of
dealing with the saloon traffic. and in
fact, it has been threatened by him with
libel suit, yet it recognizes him as
one of the strong forces of the league
which processes to work in nom parti-
san way.
That he should be thrown out because
he dares to exercise his personal right,
and that the league should split upon
the rock of politics after protesting tc
work on non-partisan lines, only indi-
Gates that it is biased prohibition
league working in the interest of the
third party. Its true color is now dis
closed and it will have none but a wan
ing influence hereafter as temperance
force.
Rev. Abrams makes his political posi-
ton clear in the following communica.
tion to the Leader:
Editors Leader: The brief interview il
your paper in which it was stated tina
would support A. B. Cummins ha.
been misunderstood by many good PEG
pie. First, am speaking for mysel
and not the Anti-Saloon League, or an,
member of the league. In fact, many o
the members of the league do not ap
prove OF my position. Allow me the priv
tlege of giving more fully my reasons fo
the position which 1 have taken:
First-The Anti-Saloon League stand
for prohibition and the enforcement o
the law.
second-It stands for the best possible
insight for the cause of temperance
Now then for the past fve,years in low
there has been no plank in any politica
party under which the whisky mel
could hidestheir head. This fact I hav
stated from the platform with mucl
satisfaction all over Iowa during tn
part three years. A. B. Cummins in
public interview stated that he woul
stand for the mulct law This publ
statement has lost him many whisk
votes. But now that the issues are clear

Artificial Stone.

Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out Of
their occupation by the use of artificial
stone. In the manufacture of this stone
the sand is heated and the cement add
cd to the amount of IL per cent of the
mixture. The steel molds are filed
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder, which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water is then
turned in under pressure sufficient to
force it all through the sand in the
molds. The cement slacks, but the
steel molds do not permit any expan-
sion to occur, and the stone is formed
and dried under an immense pressure.
The result is a very hard stone, which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.

TALK OF MARRIAGE.
u Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.

Il Is Proper For the Man, but Not
For the Girl, Apparently.
a man may remark on his intention
to marry at some indefinite future time,
when prudence or other considerations
may make it possible or advisable,
without having, as a rule, to run the
gantlet of a chorus of impertinent and
stupid would be witty remarks. But
should girl be bold enough, or, rather,
natural and simple enough, to say the
same thing what would be the result?
Why, every one knows that she would
be promptly sneered out of counts
nance.
And why? Is it immOdest for a wOm-
an to express a determination to enter
into a state which we are being cOntin-
ually reminded is a natural and honor
able state, while it is modest and prop
er for a man to do so? Such distnc-
tion would never be drawn except for
the ''cheapness" to which reference has
been made.
If u man wants to marry, he can mar
ry. If the first woman he asks refuses
him, he has only to ask a second or per-
haps a third or fourth. 1t would be
safe to guarantee that within a month
any man of fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared to
make the experiment could marry in
his own class, could marry probably a
woman much superior to himself.
But what about the girl who intends
TO marry ''some day." Is she not in a
very different position from the man?
Here is Il girl of good character-much
better than the mans, prObably-aver-
age intelligence, average good looks.
Theoretically she is free to marry
whom she will, but is she? If she re-
ceives one distinct offer of marriage,
she has had more than her share, ac-
cording to the probable average.
The fact that by an unwritten law a
woman must not take, and, indeed, does
not want to take the initiative has very
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions impose
upon English women.-Nineteenth Cen
tury.

Swallowed Two Pounds of Stone

Stones do not form part of the rec
ognized diet of the cormorant, but one
of these birds in the National Zoolog-
ical park in Washington had craving
which could be satisfied o2ly by eat
ing two pounds of stones. The keep
er's attention was attracted to the bird
because after having once sat down
it couldn't get up. He was picked up,
and then the stones were heard rattling
inside of him. An official connected
with the park decided that something
must be done, and he promptly cut the
cormOrant open and relieved him of his
burden. One of the stones, of irregular
shape, was 49, inches long. The in
cision was sewed up, and for five days
the bird got along all right, the wound
healing finely, but at the end of that
time the cOrmorant grew restive and
pulled out the stitches with his hooked
bill. AS a consequence of opening up
the wound he died.

headlong into the water. Her son

went down after her. Mrs. Nelson
being a large woman, and her son
very delicate, she was too much for
him, but after getting halfway out, the
ladder broke and both went down the
well together. Had it not been for a
farmland, who, seeing tho trouble,
ran with rope and dragged the unfor-
tunate people out, they would have
drowned. Mrs. Nelson was badly cut

NnncoOkinE Restaurants.

Odd as it may appear to dwellers in
small cities, some of the down town
restaurants of New York are in build
ings in which no cooking is allowed.
Some of the busiest of the midday res
taurants purchase all their meats and
stews already cooked and merely heat
them through again before serving
them to patrons. This branch of the
restaurant business has reached such
proportions that the mere operation of
cooking for such places has become an
established business, and owners OF
ovens thrive at it.-New York Sun.

John Johnston's house, at Bridge

by a gang of thieves, entrance being
made by prying a door. Mr.. Johns
ton was much surprised upon arising
the next morning to find that intru-
ders had cooked a hearty meal, and
alter eating it, had left. No valuable
were taken and it is probable that the
visitors were only hungry, and desired
to do their own cooking. Mr.. Johns
ton is a salesman, and is away from
home quite often. He happened to
return Tuesday morning but did not
hear the robbers.
