from self and see only Jesus.
Take Heed.-Jesus has led step by
step from the little one in their midst
into His Kingdom, and now He is ready
to give them glimpse into a beauti-
full mystery of that Kingdom, and He
prefaces it by a solemn, "Take heed"
"Take heed that ye despise not one
of these little ones; for say unto you,
that in Heaven their angels do always
behold the face of My Father which
is in Heaven" When Jesus says "Take
heed" there is solemn import in His
words. And with the eternal interests
of one of His precious little ones in
the balance, there is no installing the
intensity of His meaning. Two strik-
ing conditions mark the attitude of the
present age towards childhood. Never
was so much thought and effort put
forth in behalf of the little ones, and
come in the home. Never before were
children so little home-trained and SO
overturned outside the home as to-
day. Parents seem content to relegate
the secular and religious training OF
their children to those outside the
home, who are not directly interested
in them, and the mothers knee and
the mothers Bible, the little home task
and the patient training of the chill
dren into Industrious habits are fast
becoming only memories OF the past
Never before was there SO much need
of raising our voices against these
blighting tendencies, and earnestly
and solemnly repeating the words OF
our Lord: "Take heed that we despise
not one of these little ones"

MURDER AT SHELTON

A telephone message from Shelton
about 5 o'clock last evening stated that
a mar named Fred Stone had shot and
instantly killed Charles B. Conley.
Various reports are in circulation here
regarding the affray. but as near a. we
are able to learn it appears that Conley
and Stone had had a quarrel about two
weeks ago and meeting yesterday at
Conleys saloon the quarrel was renewed
During the quarrel Conley drew his
revolver and shot at Stone, but the two
men were so close together that Stone
lodged the muzzle of the gun and the
bullet missed him. Stone then left the
saloon and went to the store and pur-
chased a revolver. He was gone an
hour or more and when he left the store
Conley was standing on the porch Of
the saloon with a Winchester rifle in
his hand. He called to Stone to come
over where he was and finally dared
him to come. Stone replied that if
Conley would lay down his gun he
would come over. Conley then put his
rifle down and walked away from it.
The men had more warm words and
Conley made a motion as if to draw a
revolver and Stone fired at him. Four
bullets hit Conley and he died instantly.

IT HAPPENED TN CHURCH

Two mischievous girls who were
members of a church choir in a coun-
try town figured recently in a ~laushable
incident. In some way they became
possessed of the subject Of the minister's
Sunday sermon. and thereupon set
about selecting songs in harmony with
the theme.
On Sunday morning one Of them
seated at the Organ played Faint yet
'Persuming." which was sung as a vol
untary. Then the minister arsoe and
consulting the list which had been
given him, called number 395. The
choir sang almost Persuaded
The minister arose announced the
theme, "Courtship and Marriage,
read the lesson and called the next
song. The choir sang Triumph at
LAST and the congregation began to
look amused. AFTER prayer sing num-
Der DOL said the minister, and in his
petition asked that the spirit of levity
which possessed some Of his hearers
be banisned. Then the choir sang
Hasten Lord the Glorious Day. and
everybody laughed. Even the minister
had difficulty in sitting a smile when
the choir struck p,"Behold the Bride
groom Cometh,' and the congregation
became positively hilarious as the organ
peaIed out the notes Of ''What Shall

Index to Poise.

No human creature can thrive and
come near perfection without giving
equal heed to the instinct for doing
right. And it is only as these three
great instructive forces come into
something like fair accord that we
begin to know contentment. Content
ment is the index of poise in a char
acter, while discomfort is an indica-
ttion-nay, is the very essence-of dis
traction. And to be distraught, to do
one thing when we perceive we ought
to do another, to see the truth clearly
and not have heroism enough to fol
low it, to lead an inner life of turmoil
this is the beginning of death, the
gradual dissolution of character we
nearly all undergo, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. 1t may be habit or con-
science or slavery to conventionality
that enslaves us and undoes us at the
last; it may be a faltering will and a
tickle heart; 1t may be a dull and
sleepy mind; the disaster is the same;
we feel the diversity of purposes of
the warning intuitions within us, and
the goblin of discomfort perches on
our doorstep.

"FAR WEST" WIPED OUT.
Culture No Longer Monopoly Of the
Older Regions.

Older Regions.
A publishing house in this city, says
the Chicago Chronicle, has received
an order from the Yukon region for
books expressive Of what is now the
"far" Northwest. The order includes
Gibbons Rome, Macaulay's England,
the writings of John Stuart Mill, of
Flammarion and other engaging scien-
fists, graphic novels, humorous stories,
but none of Bret Harte's. The Far
West of Bret Harte is at the vanish
ing point. A hurry postscript OBJ
served that only letter mail is carried
over the ice
In truth, there is no longer any
"far" West or "far" Northwest. The
rugged and often illiterate humanity
that cleft the mountains and swan
the rivers, opening up a new empire
for all the world, is also of the past.
The universal free school sends diff
ferent multitude now to the advanc-
ing frontier. Sturdy but not illiterate,
the new pioneers want books wherever
they go, and science and the organized
forces of civilization enable them to
crafty their taste. Culture is no
longer a monopoly of the older por-
lions of the country.

A GOOD CAMPAIGN ARGUMENT
Ottawa Mayor Elevated Through His
Musical and PoeticaI Powers.


Musical and PoeticaI Powers.
Tennessee once had a governor who
fddled himself into the executive
chair. Bob Taylor attributed to his
skill on the violin all the political dis
tinction he ever attained. Now the
capital of the Dominion of Canada
(Ottawa) has a mayor whose vocal
powers elevated him to that high posi-
ton. His name is Fred Cook, and 1t
is said he makes a good official as
well as being great singer.
For many years Mr.. Cook has been
the Canadian correspondent of the
London (England) Times. In 1901
he entered the race for mayor OF OF.
tawa and was defeated for the nomi'
nation. The successful candidate was
in Office but a short time when he
offended against the laws of the Do
minion by buying a drink after the
legal closing hour and the common
council of Ottawa elected an alderman
to fill the balance of the term.
Again this year, says the Philadel
phia Record, Mr.. Cook entered the field
and tried poetry as a campaign
argument. The experience proved a
great success. He sent to each voter
in the city a handsomely decorated
card, having on one side his picture,
a picture of the mayors Office, the
British flag and Canadian emblems
and on the reverse side his little
poem, printed in both French and
Eglish. He was elected by surpris
liz majority.

CAREFUL WHAT you DRINK.
Fat Persons Should Not Imbibe Toe
Much Water.

MUCH water.
The idea is that water fattens and
that all mineral waters tend to this
also. Tea, coffee and every kind of
liquid sour or sweet, feeds the hungry
tissues and the weight increases.
Women who practice in a gymna-
SUM hour and then rush off to drink
a glass of cold water will never grow
thin. Water is necessary and the
stomach should have pint, at least a
day of it, or of some other liquid that
answers the purpose. But the woman
who is too fat is in the habit Of drink
ing two glasses of water every few
minutes in the day. And when she
goes out into the street she gets an
ice cream soda and winds up her
shopping tour with phosphate or
two, says the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal.
These things are supposed to be
bad for the stomach, but experience
will prove that they are not really
harmful. There is nothing about ice
cream soda that Injuries the digestive
organs. The only objection to it for
the woman who is reducing is that it
makes her fat.

About an hours railway journey
rom Paris there is a remarkable vii
lege the inhabitants of which spend
their lives in treetops. If you lool
for this curiouB spot on the map you
will find it spelled Sceaux, though II
is perhaps better known among the
Parisians as lie Vrai Arbre de Rob
inson."
1t appears that some fifty years age
M. Guescenin conceived the idea O
building a restaurant in the treetops
He owned a bit of land at Sceaux IL
which stood a grand old tree. In the
branches of this forest patriarch he
erected small dining rooms which
were reached by rustic staircases
The view to be obtained from these
leafy heights is unique. To celebrate
the unconventional delights of feasts
taken perched among the branches
M Guescenin called his tree Rob
inson," dropping the Crusoe. The
fame of the tree and its dining rooms
spread-all social, literary, artistic
Paris made 1t point to breakfast OF
dine among the rustling leaves.
Imitators appeared on the scene,
says the Detroit News-Tribune, and
to-day there are over score of trees
with spacious dining rooms, many
also boasting of sleeping and living
apartments, ingeniously constructed
on the stout branches of the trees
The tallest tree may be likened to a
three-story dwelling. 1t has three
distinct rooms, built one above the
other.
