SPEAR POINTS.

Faith is the key Of Gods treasury.
God reads our character in our pray.
ers.
Sacrifice is the law of the Christian
life.
Circumstances may change, but God
never does.
God honors no drafts where there
are no deposits.
Character is what man is in his
inmost thought.
The messenger upon Gods errand
never goes alone.
Heaven will be the sweet surprise of
a perfect explanation.
1t is always want of faith that is at
the bottom of all fear.
The sun is always shining to the
man who walks by faith.
The brightest truths are often dug
out of the darkest doubts.
The truth of Jesus Christ begins
with the unselfishness of God
Be not anxious about little things,
if thou wouldst learn to trust God with
thine all.
The most costly thing in the world
is sin; the richest man is he who has
Gods blessing.
Trouble and perplexity drive us to
prayer, and prayer drives away trouble
and perplexity.
The man who has begun to live more
seriously within begins to live more
simply without
It. is a great mercy to enjoy the gos.
pei Of peace, but greater to enjoy
the peace of l.e gospel.
There is no power on earth that can
stand before the onward march of
Gods people when they are dead in
earnest.
The crosses which we make for our
selves by restless anxiety as to the
future are not the crosses which come
from God-Ram's morn.

Humble Beginning of Gay city's Lead.
ing Man Milliner.
Paguin, the leading man milliner of
Paris, was clerk on the bourse few
years ago, with no knowledge of dress
making. He is very handsome man
and when he met a pretty dressmaker
who had a small shop he married her.
Gradually the two extended their es-
tablishment until to-day they are the
joint aristocrats of fashion, standing
easily at the head of all dressmakers
in the French capital. Once thorough
ly established in prominent way, the
clever and ornamental young couple
inaugurated new regime. No naughty
seclusion, no barred doors at the Mai
son Pequin. Madame was met at the
door by monsieur himself, and to be
met by Pequin was treat. The most
beautiful of Partisan elegantes and
the homeliest old dowager received
the same f1attering welcome, the same
tender interest. The charming wom-
an, the handsome man, both so deeply
interested, both so deferential, both so
intelligent. This was new expert
ence and the Parisienne smiled and
purred, bought more than she intended
and came again.

THE SAME OLD SERPENT.

The New York Tribune thinks it
has made a point when it says that
'the Filipinos are not threatened with
loss Of their independence because
they have never, at least for three
centuries, had independence and they
cannot we'll lose that which they do
not possess and they have not pos
sessed."
Something like that might have been
said of the American colonists.
The Tribune also says of the Filipi-
nos: ''For many generations they
were under Spanish sovereignty with
out dispute or protest. When finally
they did revolt it was not for indepen-
dence, but for redress of grievances" /"
Something very like that might have
been said Of the American colonists.
The Tribune says: ''The islands are
to have the largest practicable degree
of government"
Something very much like that was
said of the American celonists by
George III.
The Tribune says that this govern
ment does not intend to Cypress the
people of the Philippines.
That is exactly what George III said
to the American colonists and it is
exactly what has been said by every
other king and Emperor who sought
to impose his authority upon people.

CONGRESSMAN LlTTLEFIELD
On His Candidacy for Speakership tc
Succeed Henderson.


Council Bluffs, Iowa, Sept. 26--Con-
gresham Littlefield of Maine, passed
through this city. Thursday afternoon,
on his way to San Francisco.
When asked his opinion of the effect
of the withdrawal of Speaker Hender-
son from the race ii the Sc iowa dis
trict he stated that outside of the state
of Iowa, he thought there would be no
appreciable effect, but in the state it
would have the effect of awakening the
Republicans to a greater activity than
they would otherwise have exhibited.
He anticipated a better showing from
Iowa Republicans this year than they
made last year.
Asked of the rumor that he would be
a candidate for Speaker of the House
of Representatives, he said that he was
an avowed candidate with very f1atter-
ing prospects. He said his support
would come from all parts of the
country, not from the East alone as
had been supposed.
Mr.. Littlefield will spend three weeks
in the coast states and will make his
way east through the northern tier of
states, speaking in every state on his
return trip. He will not return to
Maine till after the close of the cam
paign.

HON. B. P. BIRDSALL
Chosen by Sd Iowa to Succeed
Speaker Henderson.
Resolutions Adopted Dep|oring Re.
tirement Of Speaker Henderson.
Congressman littIefieId on His candi.
dacy for Speakership.

Hampton, Iowa, Sept. 26.-Judge B.
r. Birdsall of Clarion, was nominated
for Congress, Thursday, by the Sd Dis
trict Republican convention. The nomi-
nation was made on the second ballot by
vote of IS to rs for C. E. Ransier OF
Buchanan. The Sd District is at pres
ent represented by Speaker Henderson
who recently declined denomination
The report of the committee on resolu-
tions was adopted by the convention
as follows:
"Platform-We, the Representatives
OF the Republicans of the Sd congress
sional district Of Iowa, heartily en-
dorse the platform of principles
adopted by the state convention at Des
Moines. We deny that the Dingley
tariff breeds and shelters trusts. We
interpret the tariff plank in the Des
Moines platform Of 1902 to be nearly
reiteration of and to mear no more
than the st. Louis plank of 1896.
I'VE cordially recognize and earnest
ly commend the patriotic fervor of
President Roosevelt, and the wisdom
of both the foreign and domestic poll
cies of his administration, which are
adding constantly to the high reputa-
ton of the nation abroad and the pros
perity of the people at home.
I'VE most earnestly regret the dec
lination of the denomination which the
Republicans of this district for the 11th
time unanimously rendered the Hon.
ID. b. Henderson. No official has been
more anxious to keep in touch with and
faithfully represent the well-considered
judgment of his constituents than has
Col. Henderson during all the long
years of his congressional career.
I'VE have faith in his patriotism and
in his personal and political integrity.
We are conscious of his great mental
power and ability. We realize his
superb leadership and commanding in
fiuence in governmental affairs and be-
lieve that his withdrawal means a great
loss to the people"

CAUGHT IN ROLL.
Pearl Dyer Severely Injured at the
Sandpaper Factory.


Pearl Dyer was painfully injured at
the works of the Boston Flint Paper
Co.. Friday morning. by being drawn
several times round shaft. upon which
paper was being rolled. His right arm
was broken in two places-both upper
and lower arm, and he was otherwise
severely shaken up and bruised. HIS
injuries are of course serious, but un-
less there are unfavorable symptoms
showing injuries of an internal nature
he will be about again in a few weeks
1t seems that sandpaper which had
been sized was being rolled in the
usual way. The paper is q inches in
width. AS frequently occurs, the pa
per had a tendency to wrinkle as it
wound on the roll and it was while
attempting to prevent this, that Mr.
Dyer allowed his hand to move too
near. with the result that it was drawn
under 1t is said that he was prac-
tically drawn round the roll three
times, the sand paper, which is of a
very tenacious and rugged texture
winding him over as the roll revolved

prompt action in shutting off the power
more serious injuries We're probably
averted.
Mr.. Dyer suffered a good deal while
being taken to his home and his back
gives him good deal of pain, in ad-
dition to the broken bones and the
| numberless bruises.
Friends sympathize with him and
hope for relief from pain and COM

MARITIME CONFERENCE.
international Meeting Opens at Ham
BURG With Large Attendance.

Hamburg, Sept. 26.-The fifth con-
ference of the international committee
opened here, Thursday and will last un-
til Saturday. The assemblage was of a
very international character. Z. P
Wheeler. ]. B. Jackson, Gordon Muir
ray and G. Belts represented the
United States.
The first business done was the
adoption of draft of a treaty relative
TO a uniform law for collisions and
maritime salvage. The treaty acknow-
lodges the principle that there can be
no claim to compensation where the
collision is due to inevitable accident
and extends it to cases in which one
vessel is at anchor-a principle not ad-
mitted in the Dutch and Russian codes,
If the fault is common, the RESPONSE
bility of each vessel is made proper
tionate to the gravity of the fault. In
England at present the damages are
equally divided with the blame.
Moreover. the losses are to be recon-
pensed in full--a concession novel to
the laws of some countries which have
hitherto not taken into account any
indemnity in the nature of demurrage
Under the proposed treaty compulsory
pilotage may no longer be pleaded in
defence and sea going ship in tow
is made liable in respect to third
parties for damage resulting from
collision caused by the fault of the tug
This liability does not however prevent
the ship from having recourse against
the tug in virtue of the towage con-
tract.
Another important section bars the
right of action only after two years
thereby removing the danger-common
in some countries-that delay OF
few hours may deprive the captain OF
ship and those interested in his ves-
sci of legitimate right to redress.
1t is also enacted that ships which
have been in collision are bound to af-
ford mutual assistance as far as cir
cumstances permit. through the special
laws of the country are left to- deter
mine the penalties to which those who
break the regulation are liable.

A strange instance of sagacity in two
pereErines has just been told. They had
often been seen following trains in
Croatia without any explanation Sug-
geSting itself, until one afternoon the
train suddenly put up a covey of young
partridges. Down swooped the hawk at
the covey and carried off one of them,
and this gave the answer to the riddle.
The cunning bird must have noticed,
while soaring for his pleasure, that the
noise of the train often put up game, and
this gave him the idea of making use of
the train a beater for his own benefit.
