Chinese Sunday School.

BAGLEY, July s.-The rain we had be.
slowed upon US last Sunday night was
most thankfully received. The plants as
well as the people seemed to be very much
refreshed after the hot spell. However,
the farmers made good use of the harvest
weather and gathered the best part OF
their crops.
Those who visit Baltimore and can
spend Sunday in that city would spend
the afternoon very pleasantly as we'll as
pro6tably by visiting the "Chinese
School" which is held in the Presbyterian
Church, Fulton Avenue, near Riggs
Avenue. Every Sunday afternoon a
number of young ladies meet here to
teach these Chinese men. Each lady has
one pupil, whom she teaches to read and
write. 1t is remarkable how quickly they
understand, and the majority seem
anxious to learn. They are very grateful
to their teachers for the interest taken in
them. Much credit is due the managers
and teachers of this school. N.

1t is to be hoped that you are one

Some men are given to accepting
a policy of Life Insurance through
sheer gullibility; others are too indo-
lent to ascertain what the precise
facts denominated in the bond of
insurance actually are; others are of
the persuaded sort. But they all
come under the category of Taxing
Things-For-Granted!
Now il it was a house you were
buying, instead of policy of Life In
surance, you'd have it's title searched
and searched until every liability of
flaw was dispelled; and if it was land,

made the investment.
Apply the same good sense to Life

is all right; the kind that won't, is
all wrong! Don't take anybody's
word for it-not even Evans
Why, Evans is SO anxious for you

he has for you that he'd rather be

Consciousness.

September %, 1901, should be re
membered as a date historic, and one
fraught with condolences that are
commonly called "peculiar;' but which
occur more frequently, we are prone to
believe, than they are observed. On
the date mentioned the arch assassin
of the trio whose names are darkly
linked with the murder of three of our
Presidents, was sentenced to die for
his crime: on the same day Abraham
Lincolns remains were removed from
the vault wherein they had SO long
rested at Springfield, H., and were
placed by the Lincoln Monument AS
ISOLATION in a new sepulchre; and
while the wasted form of the illustrious
dead Was being viewed by those at
tendant upon the ceremony, the soul
of his former secretary, John G. Nico-
lay, was passing from earth at his
home in Washington.
Thus, over the deeds of the present
are thrown the shadows of the past,
and the links that bind the volume of
nations history are more strongly
riveted by the accidents of time, or
the permissive Proyidences of God.

Frost Prophets.

Capt. +. A. Wolf, one of the closest
observers of agricultural conditions in
Kinds county, predicts that the pres
ent cold snap does not mean the be-
ginning of winter, and that we will
have considerable warm weather yet.
Said Capt. Wolf:
II have watched it for many years,
ald it eau be set down as fact that
we will never have frost until the
cookie burrs are ripe. Just now they
are quite green, and none of them
have dropped from the weed. There
has not even been the seed formation
on the inside, and frost is several
weeks distant. OF course, it is said
that all signs may fail, but this one is
absolutely infallible. clarion Ledger.
Dave Unger, the oldest man in town

better. He says frost will come four

Judge Lowrey, in one of his recent
charges to a grand jury in his jurisdic-
tion, called special attention to tie
unlawful DETACHMENT of public build
ings. He warned such law-breakers
that the marking on or cutting of any
schoolhouse or church or other public
building is an indictable offense. Ac-
cording to this, the Lincoln county
grand jury has heretofore overlooked
the miscreants who have, from time to
time, defaced the Masonic Temple,
some of our church buildings and
other valuable property in this city;
and we hope that the matter will be
taken up at the next term of court.
Judges, district attorneys, grand juries
and justices of the peace should all be
yigilant along this line. The thought
less, as well as the malicious law
breakers, should be taught to fear the
statutes that they do not reverence.
