church and no political party can
ever be reached other than by it's
personal membership? Give your
entire self to be used by God as He
shall choose, having every faculty
developed in the BE- st possible man
ner. The modern reformer is, first of
all, an enemy of things as they are,
and may, indeed, follow his creed but
little beyond it's destruc i've teaching.
But the kingdom of God, according to
Jesus is to be found in the gradually
realized, and finally perfected, BROTH
erhood of man. An army may be in
one aspect regarded studied as
machine, and in some cases the more
perfectly mechanical the movement
of an army is, the better it. fulfills it's
ends; yet there is no difficulty in
recognizing that what acts like a
machine is after all an instrument and
expires sion of the commanders will.
Temperance reform is but labor of
Sisyphus, and the burden it de sires to
remove rolls back on the community
again, unless the agitation is consist
emily directed, not SO much to the ham
pering of a trade, as to the disciplining
of a passion. The drink habit is in a
very large degree the perverslon of
one of the most universal of huns n
desires, the thirst for exhilaration,
recreation and joy, and to remove
the only available means for satisfy
ing this normal craving without pro-
viding adequate substitutes, is like
blocking the channel where a strea m
does harm, without observing how
many new fields the same stream is
likely to devastate.
When we come to realize that we
are concerned not with machinery,
but with life, the passions, hopes and
ideals of human beings, we shall be
more sympathetic, patient and wise.
To be a reformer, without loss of
broad sympathy. to believe in cause,
but to believe still more in the cour
age, strength and peace to which the
cause opens the way,-these are the
qualities which redeem reform from
its discouragements and its small con-
ceits, and make it healthy, happy
and sane. We may not know the
mysteries of the kingdom of heaven,
but we may help prepare the coming
of that kingdom, and the great words
of Jesus support our ignorance, and
renew our hope. "Not every one that
saith unto me, Lord, Lord shall
enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven"
Sand l remember still
The words, and from whence they came,
Not he that repeateth the name
But he that doeth the will.
And Him evermore behold,
Walking in Galilee,
Thu ough the cornfield's waving gold,
" the shores of the Beautiful Sea.
"And that voice still soundeth on
From the centuries that are gone
To the centuries that shall be.
From all vain pomps and shows,
From the pride that overflows.
poor sad humanity
Through all the dust and heat
Turns back with bleeding feet
BY the weary round 1t came,
Unto the simple thought
And that remain eth siill
Not he that repeateth the name
But ne that doeth the will"
Lon gfelIo,0.
First the thought, then the will,
then the action, then the habit fits US
each for best work here, until we shall
be called to enter the higher life even
the "Home Ideal.''

SURPRISED BY PANTHER.
Official Report of the Sinking Of
the Firminist Gunboat In
the Port of Goniaves.
SHORT AND SHARP sERNAH ULTlMATUu.
The Retiring Haytian Rebels Set
Fire to the Crere-a-PierrOt, Ex-
pIoding Her Aft Powder Maga-
zine. and the Panther Did the
Rest with a Few shots.

Berlin, Sept 9.-The marine minis
try has given out the following re-
port of the sinking of the Firminist
gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot:
"Capt. Eckerman of the Panther
had received orders to capture the pi-
ratical gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot. The
Panther went from Port au Prince
to Gonaives, where it completely sur
prised the Crete-aPierrot. The Ger
man commandant sent the following
ultimatum:
"'Strike your colors within Is min
utes and disembark from your ship
without undertaking any defensive
measures whatever; otherwise an inn
mediate attack will follow
Why She was Sunk.
"The Panther had already cleared
for action. The Crete-a-Pierrot hauled
down her flag within the allotted
time and the crew disembarked. The
Panther then intended to take the
Crete-a-Pierrot in tow, but an explo-
sion of her aft powder magazine soon
occurred, which was evidently effect
ed by the Crete-a-Pierrot's crew. The
explosion destroyed her stern and set
the vessel on fire, rendering taking
her in tow impossible, especially as
further explosions followed. AS this
was regarded as a hostile act, and
as the guns afore were still in con-
dition, the Panther's captain caused
the forward magazine to be exploded
through a cannonade. After this was
exploded the Crete-a-Pierrot broke up
and sank The admiral was on board
with the rebels.

eRAssHopsRs USEFUL.
Western Farmers Are Now Feeding
Them To Turkeys.

Farmers in Western Kansas. Eastern
Colorado and Southwestern Nebraska
no longer look upon the grasshopper as
pest and a menace to crops Instead
the insect is regarded as valuable
asset, and the arrival OF a swarm OF
insects is hailed with as much delight
as is a good harvest Of minor crop.
The reason of the change in the atti-
tude of the farmers toward the grass
hopper is the result of the discovery
that they are excellent food for turkeys.
More than a quarter OF century
ago grasshOppers raided and destroyed
thousands of dollars worth OF crops In
Kansas and gave this state its first
reputation for suffering. The ar
mers in those days raised no turkeys,
and the insects had full sway. Today
thousands of turkeys are owned In the
western part of Kansas. The fowls
live almost exclusively on a diet OF
grasshopper, and each bird is said to
be able to consume between a pint
and quart of the insects every day.
The discovery that grasshoppers are
good for turkeys was made three years
ago by Albert Whitlock, Smith
County farmer. The next year ne
raised 800 turkeys, and he not only
kept his own farm clear of gasshop-
pers. but made good profit off the
turkeys by renting the herd to MS
neighbors who were troubled by the
grasshoppers The next year his
neighbors began raising turkeys. Ihey
set the turkey eggs under their hens,
and as soon as the young fowls were
large enough to provide for themselves
they were taught to hunt grasshoppers.
It is an easy matter to teach them,
as they become very fond OF the in
scots after they learn to eat them.
ut is wonderful, said Railroad
Commissioner J. M. Fike. of Colby.
"the way a grove of turkeys will
clean the grasshoppers out OF a field.
A turkey is naturally an insect eater,
and he likes grasshoppers better than
the smaller insects when he learns to
eat them. A drove of turkeys is
worth considerable money, and grass
hopper feed costs nothing. At the
end of the season a farmer can sell
his turkeys after having used them to
protect his crops during the GUNNER.
1t is a pretty sight to see a nero OF
trained turkeys swoop across field OF
alfalfa and eat the grasshOppers.
"Chlckens are worthless in the work
of DESTROYING insects. They are really
more dornesticated than turkeys and
stay closer to the farm buildings.
The chickens depend upon grain for
their living. and turkey needs very
little grain where insects abound.
Besides, a chicken cannot swallow
the large grasshoppers that occasion
ally raid Northwestern Kansas fields.
IAN ordinary sized gobbler will net
the farmer 81. 25 on the Denver arket,
ana turkey hen will bring about
ST. 1t costs nothing to raise the tur-
KEYS and l have known cases where
the herd would protect the crops dur
ing the summer and then bring the
farmer $500 when he had no more
use for them.

THE ROSARY OF MY YEARS.
CBy Father Ryan,

| IBy Father Ryan,
Some reckon their age by years.
Some measure their life by art;
But some tell their days by the now OF
their tears
And their lives by the means Of
their heart.
The dials or earth may show
The length. not the depth, OF years.
Few or many they come. few or many
/ they co.
Bot time is best measured by teara.
All not by the silver gray
That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that We pass on
our way,
And not by the burrows the fingers
of care.
On forehead and face have made
Not so do we count our years;
Not by the sun OF the earth, but the
shade
OF our souls. and the fall OF our
tears.
For the young are ofttimes old,
Though their brows be bright and
fair;
While their DlOoo DeatS Warln, thoiE
hearts are cold
Ger them the spring-but winter is
there.
And the old are ofttimes young
When their hair is thin and white;
And they sing in age ss in youth they
sang,
And they laugh. for their cross was
light
But, bead by bead, tell
The Rosary Of my years;
From a cross-to cross they lead; tbs
we'll,
And they re blest with q blessing OF
tears.
Better a day of strife
Than century of sleep:
Give me instead of long stream OF
The tempests and tears of the deer.
A thousand joys may foam
On the pillows of all the years:
But never the foam brings the lone
back home
He reaches the haven through tears

HAYTIAN GUNBOAT SUNK.
Revenge Taken BY Germans at Fort
Au Prince.

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Sept THE
gunboat Crete Pierrot, which was
in the service of the Firminist party,
has been sunk at the entrance of the
ha rbor of Gonaives by the German
gunboat Panther. The crew Of the
Crete -Pierrot left her before she
went down.
The Panther arrived here Sept. 5
and received instructions from the
German Government to capture the
Crete Pierrot. The Panther found
the Crete a. Pierrot in the harbor OF
Gonaives, and the Commander of the
German gunboat informed Admiral
KiIlick. on the Crete-a-Pierrot, that
he must remove his crew and surren-
der his vessel in five minutes. Ad-
miral Killick asked that this time be
extended to fifteen minutes. The
request was granted on condition that
the arms and ammunition on board the
Crete a. Pierrot should be abandoned
when the crew left her.
FOUND HER ON FIRE.
The crew Of the Crete-a- Pierrot left
the vessel amid great disorder. At
the end Of fifteen minutes the Panther
sent small boat carrying an officer
and twenty sailors who were to take
possession of the Flrminist gunbOat.
When these men had arrived at
point about thirty yards from the
Crete "a Pierrot, flames were seen to
break out on board Of her. She had
been fired by her crew before they left
her. The Panther then fred on the
Crete a. Pierrot until she was COM
