The Number ''Three" In the Bible

The Number ''Three" In the Bible.
 When the world was created, we find 1t and its surroundings composed of three elements-air, water and land the whole lighted by the sun, moon and stars. Adam had three sons men toned by name, and so did Noah, the patriarch. Daniel was thrown into a den with three lions for the crime of praying three times. Shadrach, Me shach and Abednego were rescued from the fiery furnace. Job had three spe- cial friends. There were three patri- archs-Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Samuel was called three times; Elijah prostrated himself three times on the dead body of the child; Samson de ceived Delilah three times before she discovered the secret of his great pow CT. and the Ten Commandments, were delivered on the third day.
 Jonah was three days and nights in the whales belly. "Simon, lowest thou meT was repeated three times. Paul makes mention of the three graces- faith, hope and charity. The famous allegorical dreams of the baker and butler were to come to pass in three days. Then we have the holy trinity Father, Son and Holy Ghost; the sacred letters on the cross were three in num- Der, they being I. H. S.; so also the fa- nous Roman motto was composed of three words-yiz, In hoo signo.

Why the Governor Vacated.

'I had been assigned to a room at a hotel in a small southern town" said the drummer. "and while making ready to go to bed turned back the sheets and found the place already inhabited. They were there by the score. and I called up the landlord. and pointed them out and asked:
 Is this the sort of bed you expect a decent man to sleep inY
 "'By George, but that explains itr he exclaimed. with whistle of sur prise.
 "1t doesn't explain how am going to get any sleep tonightr
 No; but 1t explains why the gov ernor of the state, who was stopping here one night last week. got up after an hour and went out to finish the rest of the night in the barn.

sl~,rht of Hand Poi.oninr.

A very curious item in pathological lore I chanced to light upon, wrote George Augustus Sala in one of his let ters, may be called the feat of poison ing by sleight of hand. You were jeal- ous of a lady, and you wished to kill her. We'll, you asked her to lunch, and you caused a very nice peach to be served at dessert. You cut the fruit with a golden knife, one side of the blade of which was endued with a deadly poison. You presented the pol soned half of the. peach to the lady, who ate 1t with much relish and then dropped down dead.
 The wholesome half you ate your self and laughed in your sleeve and went on slicing more peaches for the ladies of whom you were Jealous till you were found out and broken on the wheel. Aye, there's the rub! What high old times we might have, to be sure, but for that plaguy contingency of being found outi

WHY THE MILK SUPPLY IS SHORT
A New York Lady Advances Some Sensible Ideas.
 TNawk1rr Rae l
(Newtown Bee.


 MR EDrroR:-Enclosed I send you a clipping from the Tri. Weekly Tribune that presents the case of the milkmsn so truthfully did not know but you would publish it in the Newtown Bee The woman who wrote it has struck the nail on the head. It is true, every word of it. +x* Sir - I saw in the Fri Weekly of Wednesday an article on milk, to which have fancy to reply. You speak oi the supply not being up to the average. live in the heart of the milk produc- ing district of Orange county and know whereof I speak. There are several causes. First, the high price of feed, from $26 to $30 ton here. Second, the scarcity-in fact. almost impossibil ity-of procuring help on a farm, and the wages they demand for incompetent work. Third, the short hay crop for the last few years. which Is large fac tor in the whole. Then the creamery man takes of from e-quarter to one- half cent 8 quait, according to the sea- son, from the exchange price-or New York price. as it is stermed-which price is lower at any time than the milk can be made on the farm except at a loss. Many farmers in my locality have sold of their dairies and gone of busi- ness rather than get no return for the labor and capital, and others will do so unless there is change for the better.
 As the matter now stands the middle man makes the profit and waxes rich, while to add to the gravity of the situ- ahon farm lands have so greatly depre- ciated in value that most of the farmers are "land poor r"-have good farms on which forced sale would not realize one-fourth of the money invested. This is the plain, unbiased situation, as far as my knowledge and observation ex- tend, and this is only one of many com munities. who find at the end of the month that when the hired man and feed bill are paid there is nothing left for the farmers and their families.
 Add to this the taxes and an excessive school tax-and that comes mostly on the farmers-and you will begin to have some insight into tho situation, and cease to wonder that farms are abandon ed and the young men flock to the city. where at least they get fair return for their labor. A FARMERS WIFE

THE SEASON ON.

 Has rolled around at last, ~ And cranks and fans and rootora
 Again are breathing fast, For on the baseball diamond Again the heroes pose. Each thrilling with excitement From head down to his toes. The grand stands overfiowinR, And packed are bleachers, too: Through knotholes in the fences The peppers take a view. On nearby poles and houses The nervy urchins roost, And every one is ready
 To give the game a boost. Soon forward comes the umpire, The chap who knows it all; Around he proudly glances, And then he yells, Play balli" The pitcher gets in action,
 A white sphere cleaves the air, And then the baseball season Is opened up for fair. A The subsequent proceedings
 ]: ,: Are very much the same As those so often witnessed In playing of the game. The cranks again go crazy Ger unexpected feats And rooters in their frenzy Tear up the bleacher seats. I There's sprintinE round the bases While watching thousands cheer, And when there comes a homer They wreck the atmosphere. . At times a raw decision s Makes trouble in the game, And ''Kin dat rotten empire?s Wild bleacherites exclaim. But soon the troubles ended, I And onward goes the fun, The roofing and the roasting, Until the game Is done, And then at every corner, AS in the days of yore, Comes from the anxious fellows The question, Whats the scorer
