Rev. W. II. Williams, the Drum
mer Evangelist, spoke last night at
the Methodist church from the text,
John 17-2i; subject. "will We Know
Our Friends In Heaven" He said in
part:
Change is one Of the allotments of
Providence. Appearance and relation
change, but nothing Is completely de-
stroyed. This old world is 5000 miles
through and $4,000 miles around 1t, not
one atom OF matter more or less than
when God made it and sent 1t spinning
around the sun, thousands of years
ago. This being true of particles of
matter, we think we can claim that
death does not end all.
Heaven would have no antidote for
the soul In bereavement without the
future meeting. We sing, Earth has
no sorrow heaven cannot heal" Have
you buried hope. I think not. Rob-
ert Jngersoll did not bury his. He said
at the grave OF his brother Hope

farce in these hymns, IN Meet You

put in books to sell. Men have made
business of the sentiment we find
in every breast of home beyond the
grave.
John says: i saw 144OO0.' How
would you count this number? One
at time? I think he further says. 4

There are two worlds. The dead are

Visited His Own Grave.

A press dispatch has .he following strange story to relate: Mortimer Montpetit has e,urned to Walla Walla, Washington, from his former home in Ohio to find that he was buried in that city two years ago after being fatally burned in fire. These supposed facts are matters of record in the office of the county auditor at Walla Wallla.
 Several years ago Montpetit was foreman on fruit ranch near Walla Walla, and spent his Sundays in town. He disappeared one night without any apparent reason. Some time later a corpse was found in the ruins of burned warehouse. The body was identified as that of Montpetit.
 The lodge of United Workmen, to which he belonged at S,arbuck. took charge of the funeral and erected a marble headstone above his grave. This closed the matter until he re- turned to Walla Walla last month.
 Montpetit was greatly surprised to hear of his supposed death, stating that he left town suddenly because he had a strong desire to go home and see his family. He went to the cemetery the next day and had the tombstone removed. He is now exercised be- cause of the record in the auditors office showing that he is officially dead. He has taken the matter into the superior court, requesting that the auditor be directed to make record to conform with the facts.

Profits for the Farmer.

The following interesting article is taken from the Phoenix Gazette: The men who raise and feed hogs are en- jOying their full share of the prevail ing prosperity. Prices of hogs have been steadily advancing for some time past and are now 20 per cent higher than they were q year ago and nearly double the prices that prevailed when the depression in agriculture was ut it's lowest point. Hogs We're never worth us much per head, when there were as many in the country, as at the present time, and the values that pre- vail now make hog raising the most profitable industry of the western farmer.
 The recent upward movement is due not so much to Il diminiliOn of supplies as 10 an increased demand for pork products. The fact that labor every where in the country is well em- ployed at good wages makes the con sumption of meats unusually large. and the exports continue To keep up almost to last years figures, noLwith- standing the advance in prices.
 The price of hogs has an important effect on the value of corn, because this grain is the raw material out of which pork is made, and the farmers are not disposed to sell it for lower price than it is worth for feeding. Aside from this influence, the corn market exhibits strength because of increased general uses to which it is put. Corn is now selling considerably higher than in former years of as large production is that of 1900. The comparatively high prices of these two staple products of the farm, with out any unusual curtailment of sup. plies, seems to indicate that the con- sumption of them has caught up with the production and the farmers may, therefore, expect good prices to be maintained.
 Certainly the enormous expansion of the manufactu uring industries of the United States in the past few years should have added sufficiently to the consuming population to overbalance the excess of production on the farms which, until recently, has kept prices of farm products down and made the agricultural industry less profitable than It should have been.

THE MAINE TO BE RAISED.
Famous Battle Ship May Again See Service As A Defender of
 Vncle Sam.

A dispatch from Chicago of recent date says: ''We expect to have the Maine aHOat and ready for business again next fall. She was not 50 badly y damaged when she was sunk as is gen. erally supposed, and repairs can be easily accomplished"
 Thus said Newton F. Chamberlain, who is engaged in raising the wreck of the battle ship in Havana harbor, and who has just returned from Cuba on a short business trip. He added that the work on the Maine was progress ing in a satisfactory way and that he expects all will be completed some mouths earlier than is required by the contract next March. The con- tract for raising the AlphOnse XII, is also held by the Chamberlain com pany.
 The contractors state that the Maine has not sunk one inch deeper since they made an examination of her two years ago. She lies perfectly level, and it is just 37 feet and 6 inches to solid bottom from both bow and stern. In order to float the vessel they will build dam all around it and pump out the water. When the water has been removed from the wreck the hole in her bow will be repaired. When the water is turned in again she will rise to ibe surface and will be lowed into the docks at Havana for com. plete overhauIing.
 The machinery in the Maine does not seem to have been damaged at all. Steel does not rust until exposed to the air. As fast as he water is removed the machinery will be covered with oil to prevent cOrroSiOn.
 When the ship sunk she had on board about $500,0O0 worth of ammu.' nitiOn, and as this is dramatically sealed in the vauls the contractors do not apprehend that it will be damaged in the least. It will take the greater pat of the summer to complete the dam, but within two months after it. is finished it is expected to have the wreck ahOat. All the machinery necessary for the work is on the ground.

Parts of Speech.

Jingles cling to the memory years after prose is forgotten. The follow ing "metrical gra,nmer," found in an old book, was used by our fathers and grand faLhers-as an aid in learning the bottom principles of that most per. plexing study, says the Cincinnati Enquirer:
 Three little words we often see Are Articles "a" "un" and "the." Nouns the name of anything. As '.school" or garden" "hOop" or swing" Adjectives tell the kind Of Noun, AS great" small pretty" white" or
 brown"
 Instead of Nouns the Pronouns stand Her" fan, his" face my" arm, your
 hand.
 Verbs tell of something being done, To read, "write," count" jump" swing or run How things are done the Adverbs tell, As slowly" quickly" ""ill ," or well" Conjunction' join the words together, As man "and" children, wind "Or" weather. The Proposition stands before A Noun, as ''in' or through" a door. As "Oh!" how pretty ''Oh!" how wise! And these are called Nine Parts of Speech, Which realing writing, speaking, teach.
