The Black Valley Railroad.-An i'm
pressive illustration for the enforcing
Of this lesson may be had from tract
written for sailors by Rev. Stednan
W. Hanks nearly a quarter Of cen
tury ago. The inherent force of the
alegory contained is sufficient excuse
for again bringing il TO public notice
The road is advertised as the GREAT
CENTRAL FAST ROUTE from SIP
PINGTON to the BLACK VALLEY"
The assurance Is given that accidents
hy collision are entirely avoided. ss
no UP TRAINS ARE RUN OVER THE
ROAD Tickets over the same are sold
at all liquor shops. The route is
by no means an attractive one. Those
who start out upon It have no idea Of
OF taking a through passage. They
start at Sippington, pass through Med
icineville. and expect TO get of at Tip
peton. But this train seldom stops at
Tippleton. 1t rushes madly on to To-
persville, around Drunkard's curve.
through Rowdyville. and makes .
stop at Quarrelton. After this the sta
tons are passed very rapidly: Riot
Vile. Beggartown, woodland, Gamblers
Vile. rightington. Brothelton. Pitfall.
Robbers Den and Prisonton. Here an
other stop is made. but the journey is
soon resumed. and the train with ever
increasing speed whizzes on to Delir-
iumton, Demonland. Hornets Nest
Thicket. Screech Owl Forest. Horror
land. Serpent Land. Maniacville, idiot
Flats and into Black Valley. Then .
long run is made through the Great
Desert. Cloud Land, Thunder Land.
Storm Land, intd Tornado Gorge, and
the train slows up at Flood Crossing.
II is from here only short run TO the
city OF Destruction. Surely the pros
pectus of the trip is enough to keep
any sane man from embarking there
on. The trouble is that few see to
what great ends little things lead. The
CITY Of Destruction is within full view
II only the trouble is taken TO look.
Its wrecks may be plainly seen strewn
about it's streets. 1t is the little drops
that make the mighty ocean. the little
wine glass that brings men to their
eternal ruin.
The other road Is as easily taken a.
the Black Valley one, and all that 10
worth while lies that way. One"no"se-
cures the passage. II Is the start. and
then the habit that is formed that ac-
composites the work. And remember
that temperance is as much habit as
is drink, and as easily formed.

Warning Against Wine.-The verses
marked especially for the lesson form
one of the best known and one of the
most eloquent passages in the book of
Proverbs. They set forth the tempta-
iions of wine and the ruin which
yielding is sure TO bring.-Verse 20
sets forth wildly the sufferings of the
intoxicated. The words woe" and
sorrow" are ordinations in the He
brew. We might translate: "Who keeps
saying: OH and 'Alas!'?" The quar-
relsomeness, the discomfort, the bod
lily injury from trivial causes and the
muddled vision are all familiar char
acteristics of the drunkard, especially
l. "a, l1x~,, Il . he inf
of liquor.-The process of drunken
ness is described in verse 80. The manis
far gone in vice who spends much time
in drinking and one of whose favor
lie pursuits is the invention or testing
Of new ways TO make liquor palatable.
Such wine as was known to the writer
of the Proverbs was so mild at the
strongest that it required much more
effort TO get drunk than is needed with
the use of modern distilled liquors.
Yet even the comparatively innocent
wine Of that age fully deserved the
severe words which follow. Wine is
attractive to the eye and the taste

the poisonous serpent, whose sting is
4 fatal. The rest of the passage de-
scribes the way in which the sting be-
comes manifest. The writer men
,ions first the strange visions which
Z the drunkard sees; then foolish and
vicious speech: recl<lessness; insen-
siblity. and persistence in the evil
course. He lies down in the midst Of
the sea or on the top of swaying
mast with equal disregard of danger
The last verse is exceedingly dramatic.
and represents the drunken man as
speaking in his half-awakened stupor.
The passage says nothing OF the re-
suits TO others. but gives warning OF
The personal danger arising from in
diligence This danger is common TO
all who use liquor at all, though OF
course many seem 10 escape 1t.

It Is Not So Bad as Some People
Thought

Newton. Sept 3-After all. the kan
sas farmer is not as bad off as he might
be. The crops may not all be large but
they will certainly command good
price, says the Newton Republican
Journal. The scribe was talking with q
Newton man the other day who owns a
seven acre tract of land near the city.
The prairie grass grown upon this land
has in previous years netted him about
a dollar an acre on an average This
year the yield was less than half as
heavy as usual, yet the business man
cleaned up $45 for what there was of it.
Last year the hay would have been
worth 81. a ton; this year it brought
SO a ton. From this it will be seen
that the stock raiser and not the far
ner is the man who is losing as a result
of the hot weather. The farmer has at
least half a crop and get prices four
times as large The stock raiser needs
the feed and he must buy it of the
farmer at a big price
And then again in the matter Of
oats. 1t is conceded on all sides that
the yield this year is hardly as large as
usual And yet it is very seldom one
hears of a field which yields less than
thirty bushels to the acre. Just now
oats bring fifty cents bushel. A few
minutes work with a pencil VIII SHOW
how much greater the profits are on
thirty bushel yield at fifty cents than on
a fifty bushel yield at twenty cents
Notwithstanding the dry weather and
slightly reduced crop, the farmers who
devoted good deal of their soil to oats
last spring are more than pleased with
the outcome
All things considered. this has truly
been a most prosperous year for the
farmer The wheat crop was easily an
average one 50 TAR as quantity is con-
cerned. and far above the average when
quality is considered. The grain viii
bring good prices-better than usual
Oats have made a fair crop at big
prices and corn viii al least make plen-

been plentiful, especially peaches. The
