The little wary trapper was not satisfied.
While Frank went slowly back to his camp
fire, deep in thought Benny strolled about the
soldiers camp. From time to time he
nodded to himself. The soldiers tents were
close together; that was good. To post
sentries against the INDIANS, even in daytime,

boats, even though the officer was not in
sight-a sure sign that they feared him. But
the lieutenants cabin was full ninety feet
from the nearest tent, where, though guarded
by the stream, in case of an Indian attack 1t
could easily be taken by surprise.
Benny edged toward it by degrees. He
wished to know where Alice was, and what
| the officer was doing. He put his face

and vacant, giving no sign of the quick in

TIE WISDOM OF MICHAEL
Biag a Sermon From His Lips 10 the
Children OF Edward

And it came to pass that William
Michael, the son of Michael, entered
the temple Of the law ON the fourth day
TO proclaim unto the occupants thereof
that he had been called by the High
Priest Edward to lead the children into
the pure light.
And as he entered, a mighty shout
proceeded out of his mouth: It is L,
who have been chosen by Master Ed
ward to redeem the land unto it's faith
ers. The fulfllment of the prophecy
that the land Shall return unto its chill
dren is nigh at hand Wisdom hath
cried so. She crieth at the doors at the
entry Of the temple of the law unto
you, O, men, and her voice Is TO the
sons and 10 the cattle Of the most high.
o, ye. simple. understand wisdom, and
ye fools. be ye of an understanding
heart. Hear. for speak of excellent
things: and the sayings Of my lips
shall be right things. For my mouth
shall speak truth, and out of my heart
shall come no Hypocrisy or ingrati-
tude. Lying Is an abomination TO my
lips. Receive my word and not silver
and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than gold; yea,
letter than farias and high position in
the land. / have understanding;
have strength, yea, enough TO cause the
unclean to bow and redeem the land.
BY me the Great High Edward shall
reign. l love him because he loveth
me. and those that seek us both shall
find us. Riches and honor are with us;
yea. durable riches and political right
|eousness.
But the multitude listened not AS
the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked
no more. He that winketh with the eye
causeth sorrow; but a prating fool
shall fall. The wicked is SHARED by the
transgression cf his own lips, but the
just shall come out of trouble.

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN BOOK
Makes Trusts and Imperialism the Lad
Ing Issues

Washington, Sept. 3.-The Demo
cratic congressional campaign book,
which made its appearance yesterday,
is a volume Of SS4 pages, the major
portion of which is devoted to the dis
cussion of imperialism and trusts, 24O
pages being given to these two topics,
115 to the former and 125 to the latter.
Then follows an extended criticism of
the Republican campaign book. many
of the statements contained therein
being challenged as to accuracy, es-
pecially those dealing with the trust
question. Under the head Of imperial
ism there is a long general review Of
the Philippine policy.
A number Of big trusts is discussed
in detail to show that they sell their
products abroad much cheaper than
at home. and the whole question is
summarized in a chapter on the evils
of Protected Trusts" which Is sub
divided as follows: Political corrup-
ton, watered stock, concealment of
export prices and juggled and manu-
featured statistics. The records of the
two parties on the trust question are
contrasted. Reciprocity generally is
denounced as a "humbug."
The remainder of the volume is de
voted to a variety Of subjects, includ
ing government by injunction, the shiI
subsidy bill, Chinese exclusion, foreign
affairs and the Schley case.
