TIE pEYII.

With this important parsonage a.
subject the Richmond Dispatch, of re-
cent issue, gave It's readers an interest
ing editorial. The object of the writer
seemed to be to throw some light on
the subject Of the personal appearance
of his satanic majesty. "Ihou comes,
in such questionable shape will help
my readers to recognize thee, must
have been in the mind OF the author.
Having read the article We wondered
that our brother editor had not gone To
the most reliable source Of information
on the vexed subject, the Bible
His first appearance on earth, as all
will recall, was in the form Of ser
pent. Not "a crawling, creeping ser
pent perhaps before his deadly strike
at humanity, but as such since then.
Further on in the inspired word, we
read, that he "stood up against David, -
not as serpent now it may be, but in
what form is lot revealed He is also
spoken of Is standing at the right
hand, and in the days of Job a. going
to church.
The Saviour Of men "cast' devils out
Of men, and when assalled by him,
simply said 10 him: "C;et thee behind
me-" This same Saviour described
him as lightning from heaven" and
on one occasion asked of one near him:
"Why hath satan flied thine heart"
In another place the command is Civ
en-: "rurn from the power Of Satan"
and then he is described As a "messen-
ger to buffet"
AT one time he is transformed into
an angel of light" and Paul comforted
some of his associates with the plea
SAINT hope THAT the God of peace shall
bruise Satan under your feet" recalling
the first promise ever made to fallen
man.
From glimpses like these we are
justified at least in saying that he is
not always roaring lion" nor beast
with horns, nor dragon with tail, nor
snake with forked tongue, nor insects |
with deadly sting, nor demon repulsiye,
nor angel attractive, nor always in
Sunday clothes, nor with Sunday man
ners, nor ever standing in front, nor |
on the right hand but within the
heart of man.
Who, then, is the devil? What his
"ThOu contest i'm such
questionable shape" that man cannot
answer, save that he comes, and that
his presence Is known and his power
felt. He strikes down one man with
'talwart blows, and crceps upon anoth-
er with soft and stealthy step. He
'rowns or smiles, sings or signs, laughs
Or cries, wOos or makes war Just as best
serves his satanic purpose He in
'ades our homes, intrudes upon our
church circles, walks our streets, en-
ers our stores, forces himself into our
leart chamber, and dogs our steps p
rom cradle to grave. A voice was
nee heard Oh earth, saying authorize
lively, "get thee behind" and it may
Ne heard again. This is our hope no
natter what the satanic feature.

The Labor Problem Solved.
Editor Hcraid.-I recently visited
, the homes Of two farmers, who live on
adjoining farms, containing some l3C
acres each. and realizing that labor was
hard to get and utterly unreliable at
best, they have entered into jus'ili-
able combine for mutual protection aud
profit They keep but one horse each,
good, strong horses, and unite them for
breaking up the lands, hauling heavy
loads to market, and whenever it is
thought best when the land has been
once prepared, the one horse is all sufli-
cent for keeping the crops well worked.
They realize that the saving of the
ratiODs OF one horse is so much more
actually made, and this plan prevailing
the operations Of the entire year, means
something. Such men are too sensible
to Overcrop themselves, and only under
take to do what they can reasonably
hope to do well
estimate that the clear profit on one
of these farms for this season will
amount to $4,000, and we all know
that while that doesn't mean millions
IN the near future, it does mean the
glorious privilege Of being independent
The man who reaches that point is To

farm work he was engaged IN building.
Sunday morning dawned on that quiet
country home and all Unconscious Of

started to town for roofing. On reach

Declared Practicable. and WIN
Have Full support OF the
Naturalization.

Washington, Oct. president Roose-
welt has in his possession the final re-
port of the isthmian canal commissions
ers and is understood to have said
that he will not make it public until It
goes to congress in December. This was
the plan which President Mckinley
had decided to follow. The late presi-
dent was SO anxious that no possible
report should be published until 1t
reached congress that he caused Ad-
miral Walker, the chairman Of the
commission, to compel every employee
of the commission to observe the great
connection with the report.
1t Is stated at the white house that
important diplomatic possibilities are
involved In Withholding the Anal con-
clustons of the commissioners from
publicity. Both Colombia and Mica
ragua had to be sounded for their best
proposals and as each is DESTROYS Of
having the United States construct q
canal along Its route they are likely to
MAKE better terms now. when they
seemingly stand in competition. CO.
lombia would undoubtedly have acted
long ago II the French company which
controls the Panama route had not
been very slow to move,
The attitude of President Roosevelt
and the state department would indi-
cate that in spite of the claims Of the
trends OF the Ntcaraguan route in con-
gress the administration proposes to
make the utmost use of the fact that
the Panama Is accessible. The presi-
dent has no doubt that some sort Of a
canal bill will pass the Fifty-seventh
congress, that the diplomatic obstacles
with Great Britain, which stood in the
way OF the passage of the Hepburn
Morgan bin during the Tifty-sixth
congress, will either be removed by the
abrogation of the Clayton Bulwer
treaty or the ratification Of substi-
tute treaty which will be drawn along
lines satisfactory to majority Of those
senators who opposed and defeated the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
The president. OF course, Is familiar
with the work Of the state department
since the return of Lord Pauncefote to
London In the direction Of negotiating
new treaty and his knowledge Of
what Senator Lodge and his followers
Will accept in the way of q compro-
mise places him in position to de.
term1ne in advance whether Secretary
Hay has negotiated an instrument that
will stand the test OF the senator's OPP
position. The Panama canal Is said to
offer diplomatic advantages that the
Nicaragua does not possess. The CO.
1ombias route could be utilized without
considering Great Britain, or any other
European power, presuming, of course,
that the French company will make q
voluntary disposal of its rights to this
government. President Roosevelt is
very much interested In the canal
question and has promised to bend all
his energies toward bringing about
such a solution of the difficulties that
have heretofore been encountered as
will enable the United States to begin
the construction of an isthmian canal
before the expiration of his term.

Traducer Punished More Severely.

Washington. Oct. S.-A most unusual
case has ben reported to the war de-
pertinent. 1t Is that Of Peter ]. De.
vine, of Troop II. Eleventh cavalry,
who was tried by a general court mar
tiel at Fort Ethan Allen on the charge
OF using disrespectful words against
the president of the United States in
violation of the 10th article of war"
Il appears from the evidence that
when the news of the shooting of Pres
iGent Mckinley was received at Fort
Ethan Allen, Deyine expressed great
satisfaction over the crime, and APP
piled an uncomplimentary epithet to
the late president. His comrades
roughly handled him before he could
be secured in the guard house.
He was found guilty of the charge
by the courtmartial and sentenced to
be dtshonorably discharged from the
service of the United States, FORGETTING
all pay and allowances due him. and to
be confined at hard labor for year.
The record of the case was referred
to Majcr General Brooke at New York,
commanding the department OF the
east. He Endorsed it as follows:
1T is the opinion of the reviewing
authority that the punishment adj
Judged by the court is not sufficient
