Here we fiud as was Joe, many de.
luded, thinking they are prepared to
meet God in peace and when the
moment comes find how mistaken they
are.
Gear not" also forbids our giving
up in hopeless cases. Read Luke 8:
40 and SO verses. If ever there was
hopeless case this was one.
ls there parent present this morn
ing who has daug ghter dead?-dead
in sin. If 80, "fear not" believe
only and she shall be made whole.
If there are others who have hereto
fore gone to Christ despair not, but
rather keep praying. We may not
see the answer now but thank God
we will hereafter.
DIR. Spurgeon tells of woman who
prayed long and earnestly for her
husband and how she used to attend
certain church in England. Yet
she never saw the result. The hus.
band was drinking, dancing, card
playing, swearing man, who did not
attend church. So the wife had to
90 alone only accompanied by a
favorite dog which would follow her
to her seat and there remain during
the services. The good woman died
while the husband was still unsavcd.
Doggie continued to attend the church
as was his custom while his mistress
was alive. The master wondering
what the animal did at the church
followed it there one day. The dog
led him doyn the aisle to his dear
old mistress seat and there in his
wife's pew God giving the minister
tie word came with power and that
man, the long prayed for husband,
wept till he found the Saviour.
Read Matt. 1928. Aud this fear
not we find defies persecution. Gods
servants are not hunted down al,
together as they were by prosecutors
years ago. The lovers of liberty and
religious freedom have shut tho lion s
mouth. Yet while this is true the
enemies of the cross know well
enough how to inflict pain. They
make and circulate things that are
not true and are readily joined by
hypocrites and pretenders who at
once begin to pry into the scandal.
Solomon says: A forward man
soweth strife and whisperer sep.
arateth chief friends.
"Truth crushed to earth will rise again;
The eternal years of God are hers;
But error wounded writhes with pain;
And dies among her wOrshippers.
In Luke 1892, Christ says: "Fear
not little flock, for it is your fathers
good pleasure to give you the king
dom" He had been warning them
against distracting thought, temporal
provisions therefore bids them "fear
not" for the kingdom is to be theirs.
And brother, this same fear not is
ours.
Why then should we talk starva-
ton? Why should we continually
harp on "hard times?" l can see
no good reason. God has wonder.

Base Ball.

The origin of base ball-"our national
game'-is not definitely known, but
the first club organized to play it was in
New York in 1s45. Singularly enough,
this club, like the one first organized to
promote rowing, was called "The Knick-
erbocker Club" After 1851 other anna
teur base ball clubs began to organize,
including the Atlantic, Mutual, Union,
etc. In 1857 convention of delegates
from sixteen clubs in and around New
ork and Brooklyn was held. About
ten years later, at the annual conven-
ton of the National Association in
1866, POP clubs from seventeen States
and the District of Columbia were rep
resented. The college of base ball as
soclatlons were started about 1862 or
1863 Amateur base ball throughout
the Union was at its height in the year
1863, 1866 and 1867. Professional base
ball was recognized in 1868, and the first
games were played in 1869.

hunt we wander homeward in the dark

country and soon find ourselves in the
city, tired and hungry but pleased with
the experiences
The coon and posSum resemble each
other to a marked degree but the pos
sum is by far the better meat, sweeter
and full as easy to catch. He is
about the same size as the coon, but
has a tail without hair, while that of
the coon has plenty of hair and several
rings. The coon does not have the
power of hanging by his tail as does the
possum. Both have very strong claws,
however, and can hold to a limb with a
great deal of power.
Sometimes the coon or possum runs
into swamp where you cannot get
without bath, and if the hunter gives
him up the dog is usually worried out
and the coon escapes after quite scare.
When coon falls into the power Of a
dog, he fights very hard for his life, but
the possum is entirely different and
gives up almost without a struggle

To Make a Happy Home.

Learn to speak in a gentle tone Of
voice.
Guard your tempers, especially in
seasons of i'll health, irritation and
trouble, and soften them by prayer and
sense of your own shortcomings and
errors.
Remember that as valuable as is the
gift of speech. silence is often more
valuable.
Do not expect too much from others,
but remember that all have an evil ma
ture, whose development we must ex-
pect and that we should forbear and
forgive as we often desire forbearance
and forgiveness ourselves.
Never retort sharp or angry word.
1t is the second word that makes the
quarrel.
Beware of the first disagreement.
Learn 10 govern yourselves, and to be
gentle and patient.
Learn to say kind and pleasant things
whenever opportunity offers.
Study the characters of each and
sympathize with all in their tro ubles
however small.
Do not neglect little things, if they
can affect the comfort of others in the
smallest degree.
Avoid moods and pets and fits of
sulkiness.
Learn to deny yourself and prefer
others.
Beware of meddlers and talebearers
Never conceive a bad motive if a
good one is conceivable.
Be gentle and firm with children.
DO not allow your children to be
away from home at night without
knowing where they are.
Do not allow them to go where they
please on Sunday.
Do not furnish them with much
spending money.-Philadelphia Ledger.

Value of an Idea.


One Bright Young Man Got High Price
/ for His.
An elderly gentleman whose appear
ance correctly indicated him to be a
man of wealth, handed young man a
check a few afternoons ago III the lobby
of an uptown hotel. Observing that i
was drawn for 81 900 friend remarked
that the young man must have rendered
some important service to the benevo-
lent gentleman.
He has" replied the latter, ''He put
s1,O0O,0O0 into my pocket
asked the friend, envlouSly, as such eX-
amples of genel osity are rare
because he could not use it: the
81 900 will be more available to him. |

tuated by motives of generosity bat

'As you know, | am the president of
a corporation, which some people call a
trust, that is one of the largest adver-
tlserS i'll the world, as we spend thou

dollars year in letting the people

young man knows it, and has proited
accordingly. He came to me today, as
we are utter strangers, and asked me
II would pay him 81 900 for an idea on
advertising our goods. | did not Try to
| beat him down to 800, a good figure
for an idea, but promptly told him that
would gladly pay his price, il upon
communicating to me the idea | con
sidered it worth what he demanded
Otherwise would pay him what |, and
not he, considered it worth.
''Io this he readily assented. and in
an hours talk he explained to me the

/ ever received out of thousands of sug-
gestions. We will make over II, 900, 900

sales and permanent business retained
SO, you see, his price was cheap.
Fortunes have been made i'll bust
ness by the advertising of a single sug-
gestlon in such manner that the public
see it out of the great mass of printed
matter going through their hands, and
this tide of advertisement flows so
rapidly that there must be something
above another which attracts public at

FAMOUS COMPOSERS AND THEIR Music.
Edited by Theodore Thomas, John
Knowles Paine and Karl Klauser. 5os-
ton: J. b. Nlillet Co. 1901 Library num-
Der, 1864 i.
Those interested in literature, arts and SCI
ences know well that our Free Library con-
tans books of interest to them, but perhaps
it is not so generally known that a valuable
work for musical people has lately been
added. This work is entitled 'FFamous
Composers and their Music and is in itself
library of music and Information on musi-
cal subjects. The first six of the sixteen
volumes contain biographies of the great
composers, and also concise sketches of the
history and development of music in differ
ent countries. When it is noticed that the
list nf contributors contains the names of
Arthur foote, John X. Paine, Howard Tick
noI, Geo. +. Upton and Of other men whose
word is authority on musical criticism, it
Will be appreciated that the editors have
given us Il work of exceptional value. The
remaining ten volumes are devoted to the
musical compositions of the great masters,
eight being instrumental, and the last two
vocal.
The illustrations, especially, should be
mentioned as they form an attractive fea-
ture as well as serving a source of instruc-
ton At the beginning of every biOgraphi-
cal sketch is a full page portrait of the COM
poser, while in addition to this there are
several other pictures taken at different
periods of his life. There are also illustra-
tions of their birth places, residences, mon
uments, statues and tombs. These, together
with pictures of opera houses and buildings
devoted to music, as well as of famous
paintings of musicians make gallery which
cannot fail to interest all readers The
most valuable of the illustrations, however,
are a series of colored plates of historic
and unique musical instruments. These are
accompanied by a page of explanation Civ
ing the history of the instrument.
In the volumes devoted to musical compo-
work of the worlds greatest composers,
Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Chopin
and other names which are household words
to lovers of music are represented, while
the musicians of our time MaSZkOwsk,
RubinStein, TschaikOwsky, also have d
place The last two volumes, besides con-
tanning grand opera music and solos from
the oratorios, have many less di ifticult songs
which have won popularity Among the
former class are Wagner's ''Spring Song
from "The Valkyrie,' 'With Verdure
Clad" from the ''Creation' oratorio, and
''If with all your Hearts" from "Elijah' -
Examples of the old songs in the collection
are "Aiice, where art Thou 9'' ''The Lost
Chord SIN Old Madrid and others equally
as well known. Thus it may be seen that
this is collection of representative music
which cannot fail to give pleasure to all
who have once made its acquaintance

When Prince Henry of Prussia was
asked what had impressed him most
during his visit to this country, his re-
ply was, the sight of so many 'happy
and contented faces" in all the many
throngs who had congregated to see
him wherever he stopped.
Unconsciously the prince paid the
people of the United States the greatest
compliment which could be received
from any foreigner. 1t was well-de-
served compliment likewise.-Boston
