Love For God.

Prayer becomes necessity when we
know what Gods love for us means: 10
read the story, as the Bible tells it, OF
the love which made the world and man,
and of the love which sent God to live and
die on earth for us; to go over the years CT
living and see how goodness and mercy
have followed all the days; to pick out
the blessings till they grow into glowing
clouds always lowering over the human
experience-these show the divine love SO
nightly that one cannot keep away from
The contemplation! And SO the human
love grows until it reaches God, and bows
at His feet, and presses its httleness into
the very vastness of His nature, and draws.
it's breath from the very presence OF Him.
who is Himself love! Prayer-why We
cannot help loving then! The very i1fs:
is prayer, a clinging, delighted gazing
into O Face which knows no turning, q:
holding to the Hand which never loosens
its grasp, a speaking to a Father whose
one great desire is the child's happiness.
Every act of ours, every need, every
pleasure, every pain is as much GODS an
ours. and we know it, and knowing It az
we 90 to Him as the child to its mother,
as Tie bird to it's nest, as the wlthered
| flower to the moisture which faih and
kisses its upturned hungry face: Granted
a God and all else follows. His love for
us. our love for Him, presupposes prayer
as as q necessity.-Floyd Tompkins.

THAT OLD ARM CHAIR:

"Ue love it, we love it, and Who shall dare
NJ chide us for loving that old arm chair?''
A homely, wooden old affair that shows
the scars and stains OF time,
And one that you would never think would
-' lead the thoughts to running rhyme,
silent echo from the past, relic Of the
long ago
When furnishings for home were built for
comfort rather than for show.
Those daubs of paint upon it's back may
once have been sweet birds and how-
Or even bright-winsed butterflies bespang-
ling fair, hand-painted bowers,
But now have grown so indistinct 'twere
difficult to tell just what
The artist called them when his hand the
red and yellow work had wrought.
No patient mother, white of hair, e'er sat
in that old hallowed seat
And listened to the nightly prayers of wee
ones kneeling at her feet.
And sent them to their trundle bed with
kiss of sacred mother love,
Her whispered words commencing them to
care of Master up above;
At least not to the knowledge OF the chap
who lounges in it now
And sends the smoke from brair pipe up
curling DER his wrinkled brow
We bought it as an auction sale and ever
since have blessed our luck,
For it is quite beyond a doubt the easiest
chair we ever struck.
''yVe love it. we love it. and who shall dare
To chide US for loving that old arm chair?"
Denver Post.

WISE WORDS.

Patience is the key Of content.
Common sense is the genius of our
age.
When faith is lost and honor dies the
man is dead.
It is only our small miseries that we
tell to the world.
There are habits that cost more to
rear than a family.
The less trouble we take in bearing
trouble the less Of it we have.
To be uncomfortable without being
unhappy one must be a philosopher or
a woman with tight shoes.
It would be just like science rudely
to discover, one Of these days, that a
cucumber is no cooler than a potato.
One of, the greatest accomplishments
in the world is to be able to back uf;
the minute you find yourself going
| wrong.-Atchison Globe.
We are not content to accept truth IN
her nakedness, but dress her up IN
many shapes, so that we do not always
recognize the being Of our own dress
| ing.
The real blessing, mercy, satisfac
ton, is not in the having or the lack
Of merely outward things, but in th'
consciousness that the true sources o.
life and happiness are deeper than al
| these.
Death is the reminder we sorel,
need that this world Of the senses
not all our life, that there are realitie
beyond sight and nearing; nay, tha
these unseen, unheard things are tn
more real because they are not TEN
poral, ever changing from one state t
another, but are eternal, abiding. a.
, ways the same.

RUBBER BANDS.

String.

String.
The elastic band is gradually super
seding string. The use Of the handy
rubber article has been growing stead
lily for the past few years, and this
seasons sale is expected to break all
records. The price has been lowered.
on account of increased facility of pro-
duction. and now, for fastening small
packages, the bands save money an
well as time.
A local dealer said yesterday:
eve expect to sell at least twice az
many bands this year as we did last
year. From this store alone go tons
Of them. I have figures that will
startle you. Take the No. 8 band, the
one used by druggists and jewelers. for
small packages. We sold fully 5000
pounds of those last year. There are
5000 of them to the pound; therefore,
we sent out 27,O0000O of this size last
season. Suppose they were opened out
and tied together. Allowing half an
inch for tying, we would have 27,OOO,-
600 inches, or more than 400 miles Of
rubber, for the bands are an inch and
half long when opened out
GA band will stretch five times it's
length easily, so that our string could
be made to cover 2O45 miles. Or, in
| other words, you could stretch the line
along a perfectly straight railroad
! track and starting at one end ride for
day and half at sixty miles an hour
before you would reach the other.
| Double that estimate for 1902, and re-
member, those figures are for one size
! only, and for but one store in the city,
then you may be able to get an idea of
| the elastic rings used in Philadelphia
| and vicinity.
'"They come in all sizes, from the tiny
around Duncnes OF DaIIOIs, TO the neavy
bands running twelve to the pound
They are used in various ways. Large

which SAT, 800 is said to have been paid
to members of the house combine and
another large sum to ringsters in the
council The inquiry will be continued
tomorrow.
Former Delegate Tamblyn, who at
tempted without success to turn states
evidence yesterday was examined at
length. as was also Edgar A. Mepham,
a former delegate. Before going into
the grand jury room Mr.. Mepham ex-
pressed his willingness to tell all he
knew. Several other minor witnesses
were examined.
Delegate Charles F. Kelly, who has
been missing from his usual haunts
since his indictment on several counts
charging bribery and perjury, has not
vet been arrested, but Circuit Attor-
ney Folk believes he will have that
important witness to present to the
grand jury tomorrow.
After the adjournment of the grand
Jury to-day Adolph Wallner, proprie-
Tor of the Sheridan House, called on
Mr.. Folk and announced he could de-

as to who supplied the money for the

1eputed to be men of wealth and stand

was offered to-day for the apprehension

COTTON PlCKERS SCARCE.
Serious Problem for Planters of
Mississippi Valley.

Little Rock, Ark. Sept. 1.-THE cot
ton picking season is at it's hight in
Arkansas, Mississippi and Tennessee,
the season having been fully two weeks
earlier than usual. In view of the
rapid opening of the crop there is a
general shortage of labor, and the prob
lem promises to be a serious one for
the planters. Some of the largest
growers of cotton declare that they
have never seen time when there
was such a scarcity as there is at
present.
The indications are that the picking
season will be short this year. The
fact that the crop is so much earlier
than usual and that the weather has
been so hot is accepted as a sure sign
of this. Some of the crop authorities
are predicting that the entire crop will
be gathered before the Christmas holt
days and that the bulk of it will have
been harvested by the end of Novem-
Der, if not considerably earlier This
fact of itself tends to complicate the
labor question still more, and should
there come bad weather, the result
would be very damaging because of
the large amounts of cotton that would
be caught in the field
