The Teacherss Lantern.

It was "out of the frying pan into the fire" that exchange of Canaan for Moab. The one redeeming feature was that the Hebrew family kept their faith. In re- turn, Providence chastened, guided and delivered.
 Naomi was revelation of God to Ruth. She recognized the supernatural source of her traits, as well as their superlative loveliness. It was a small thing to ex- change Chemosh for Jehovah, since Ma oml had made him so attractive.
 Orpah stands for the half-hearted Christian, the undertaken of the impos- sible, serving God and mammon. It usually ends in going back to Moab.
 Ruth was steadfastly minded. She is lovely example of perseverance. She lost her life in the complete renunciation of Moab. She gained it by her adoption to Israel. To become an sancestress of the Messiah was her exceeding great reward.
 A young Englishman Is said to have sought his fortune in California, leaving his fiancee behind him. By and by he sent her a nugget of gold Afterwards, meeting with reverses and losing health he wrote to her, exonerating her from any claim he had upon her. In response he received a ring made of the gold he had sent. and inscribed with the legend. ''Entreat me not to leave thee"
 Boaz is an ideal of manly virtue Ills was a white life He was far beyond his day in self-restraint and virtue. He was a noble type of Him in whom was no fault.
 Salvation is not of the law Ruth's le- gal redeemer failed her, It was the grace of Boaz through faith that saved her. We have no legal claim upon Jesus; but when we approach Him in faith, He will never fail to graclously mantle us in His atonement.
 There is exemplary power in the Chris ton life lived in the midst of heathen- ism. Witness the influence of Naomi in Moab: a Christian home planted in a heather environment can not fail in sa- line and illuminating effect.
 Symbolically, Ruth I Christ-bride; Boaz the Christ-husband.

ECONOMICAL SUBSTITUTES
 FOR COSTLY WRAPS.

This Is decidedly a fur season. The furrier ought to be the happiest man alive, for it really seems that every wo- man, rich or poor, Is wearing fur in some shape or form. Such wild extravaganza in this direction has never before been attempted and 1t takes a very strong minded woman to resist the attractions. The furrier Is using the beautiful skins in every conceiva ble fashion, and some of the soft furs are very adaptable. even whole costumes being made of them.
 One of the fashionable fads of the mo- ment is the petit griS, or Russian squir rel This animals skin was formerly used merely as a lining, but now it Is the material for the outside of garments. The handsome motor coat seen in the sketch Is maue of this fur. These coats are par ticularly swagger, but are very expensive and not serviceable. The skin looks well only one season even with careful treat lnent For the average woman motor coat of cloth with a fur collar is more satisfactory.
 Persian lamb is always good fur to purchase, and the two Persian lamb jack cts illustrated are very pretty and com fortable. One has a collar of mink. the other one of chinchilla. These coats could be duplicated in Persian lamb cloth and really if a good quality of this material is bought 1t takes an expert to tell the real from the imitation. The collar should be of the cloth, but the chinchilla or mink used for this purpose is much handsomer and more becoming.
 The three-quarter box coat of moire as- trakhan is very elegant and chic, quite the latest development in the world of furs. This jacket may be treated in the same way as the Persian lamb coats, and the result will be satisfactory and smart

 Memphis. Tenn, Dec 6-(SpeciaD-The failure of those who attended the peace conference to settle the differences be- tween the new and the old Southern leagues today resulted in President Kav- avanaugh of the old association announc- ing that no further effort would be made to bring about a recolciliation of the two factions.

The Yaquis Then Compelled the
 Man to Walk.

Atlanta, Ga.. Dec. GA special to The Constitution from Bisbee. Ariz., says: Colonel Kosterlistski, cimmanding the international boundary riders of Sonora, Mexico. has received from the mayor of Rio Yaqui letter giving an acco6ht of the tragic death of california Dan' Ryan, chief of scouts under General Louis Torres, at Torin, November g.
 Ryan and George w. Wilson were sent on scout They were surprised and talk en prisoners by the Yaquis. tried by a council of war and "California Dan" con- demned to death, Wilson being acquitted.
 In the presence of Wilson, the Yaquis. with dull saws. cut off the feet of "Cal- ifornia Dan' just above the ankles. Af- ter this the unbound him and told him to go back to duty to Torres. By goading him they compelled him to walk beyond their entrenchments, only to fan dead in the bush a hundred yards beyond their stronghold.
 The next morning the Yaquis took the body of "California Dan" and suspended 1t from the limb of a tree growing by the road. Wilson was then released and told by the Mexicans to bury the body.

Ruth and Naomi.

Elimelech's exodus to Moab was i'll ad- vised. It came of feeble faith and impa- tience He could not endure hardness as a good soldier. The consequences were disastrous-three graves, three widowsl
 Widowhood Is a pitiful condition at best. But widowhood and poverty, and residence in a foreign land, and childless- ness, and an environment of heathenism and the consciousness that all is the con- sequence of ones sin,-this is the climax of Naomrs woe.
 But God and angels know that the sol itary exile widow is rich. Her securities are not of the kind reported on change They do not fluctuate. They are not 'watered," nor can they be hypothecated. Naomis wealth is in herself; her char acter is her capital. It presently yields its rich return.
 In that confessedly trying relationship. the mother-in-law. in scenes ever shifting to the worse, bereaved, impoverished, estranged, Naomi Exhibited such traits of resignation. gentleEess. and purity as to win undying, disinterested. enriching love of Ruth.
 On the border of Israel. Naomi put her new-found treasure to its last test She threw the love of Ruth into the crucible, The gold was found without trace of alloy. The young Moabitess was willing to be expatriated and communicated To live a life of toll and poverty. to be subject to the scorn of bigoted Israeli ties; to surrender an Oriental woman's fondest hope. her almost indispensa ble safeguard, the menuchah, the safe place of a husband.-loftier love than that has never been portrayed by poet or novelist. To have gained such a love was to have acquired an incalculable fortune.
 It was Ruth's love of Naomi that di- rected her steps to the harvest-feld. It frightened the menial tasks of the gleaner It nerved her to endure the rude famil- iarity of the harvest-hands It prompted her to glean diligently.
 It was Ruths love of Naomi that prompted her to do that last thing which taxed her modesty to the extreme. She lay down at Boaz's feet in order that she might reinstate Naomi in the respect of her l1insmen and countrymen. and secure her a shelter and support. In that she was brave, but not brasen. There was no amorous passion in that act She was availing herself of the only legally-in- stituted means of accomplishing her laud- able end.
 Well may that towering column against the facade of Solomon's golden temple symbol of strength, beauty, and upright ness-bear the name of this Bethlemite prince. Boaz. His manly self-restraint,

BUY CATTLE TO EXHIBIT.
American Invade the British Mar
 ket.


 London, Dec. 6.-The last few months have found in the United Kingdom an unprecedented number of American buy CTS of thoroughbred cattle. whose pur- chases of high class breeding stock az gregate many thousands of bounds. A number of the animals bought are in tended for exhibition at the St. Louis Ex- position. The prices paid range from g 100 to over s6,250 per head. Scores of high priced bulls and cows have been shipped during the summer and fall. ''
 Among the buyers now here Is c. E. Marvin of Lexington, Ky. who will take back twenty-five thoroughbreds in May and July. J. S. Goodwin of Chicago. has purchased a number of Angus breeders. and the Armours' agent is sending one hundred Herefords to the United States. A number of purchases also have been made of tiny Dexter and Kerry cattle in Ireland. the breeding of which has recently become quite the fashion in Eng land under the patronage of Lady Lans- ~downe and other titled fanciers
 The ruling of Dr. Salamon. chief of the United States Bureau of Animal In- dustry, allowing the importation of Jer- sey and Guernsey cattle into the United States without the tuburculin test goes greatly to stimulate purchases in those islands. The Agricultural Department agents during the last ten years have in- spected over 100000 head of cattle in Jer- sey and Guersney and have not found a single case of tuberculosis On the other hand England and Scotland are badly in fected and breeders here on that account apprehend the early adoption of more stringent quarantine measure by the United States.

The German Way.

Take pattern in your love affairs from the young German bachelor.
 His is the best course you can follow. When he finds himself falling in love with some girl. his mother Is his con- fidant. and the affair soon becomes subject of family consultation.
 His marriage Is to be the greatest event of his life. just as 1t is that of the girl ne marries. His very first aspirations are to be as good a husband and father as has been his own father.
 When he is married, his wife is his constant companion when he is not at work.
 Touch your good German on the sub ject of woman, and you will find the highest and most truly chivalric regard for womankind the world has known,
 He is ready to protect her good name always with his life. He would. no more think of insulting her with doubtful re- mark than he would think of flying. He would not dream of making love to her unles he hoped to win her and sanctify their love with marriage. -..-.-. .a,.o
 He shows his regard for her always by consulting her in matters small and great and displays his love by making his wife the sharer of all his pleasures.
 The family is the great central fact in German life. Aspiration, pleasure, love and thought all center there, and to this more than anything else Is the wonderful vitality of the race due.

IS \ SERIOUS MATTER.
The MosL Serious and Fatal Diseases
 Arise From Indigestion.

Chronic indigestion or Dyspepsia, whilo a very common trouble, has for some time been looked upon by able physicians as a serious thing and that no tlme should be lost in treating it properly at the start, because recent researches nave shown that the most serious, fatal and in- curabfe diseases have their origin in sim pie dyspepsia or indigestion.
 Diabetes is simply one form of indi- gestion the sugar and starchy 1ooo not heinz assimilated by the digestive organs. In Bright's disease the albumen Is not properly assimilated.
 While consumption and dyspepsia are twin diseases, and it is beyond question that dyspepsia makes fertile soil Tor the seeds of consumption. But the trouble has been to find a remedy that could be depended upon to cure dyspep= sia. as 1t is notoriouSly obstinate and dlt- hcult to cure.
 This has been the question which has puzzled physicians and dyspeptics ahKe. until the question was solved three years ago by the appearance of a new discov- cry in the medical world known as Stu lrts Dyspepsia Tablets, which 1t was claimed was a certain, reliable cure for every form of stomach trouble.
 Physicins, however, would not accept such statements without first giving the new remedy many tests and carefully ob- serving results.
 For three years the remedy has been thoroughly tested in every section of the country and with surprising and satisfac- tory results.
 stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets can be hon. -stlv claimed to be a specific, a radical lasting cure for indigestion in the vari- ous forms of acid dyspepsia or sour stom- ach gas or wind on stomach, too much i,ile, undue fullness or pressure after eat ing and similar symptoms resulting from oisordered digestion.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets were moi placed before the public until this three years trial left no doubt as to theii value and they have recently been placed in the trade and can be found on sale al all druggists at the nominal price of $ cents per package.
 No extravagant claims are made fol inc remedy, it will not cure rheumatism pneumonia typhoid fever nor anything but just what 1t is claimed to cure. anC that is every form of stomach trouble. Nc dieting Is necessary, good wholesome food and plenty of 1t and you may res assured that Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet will digest it. Druggists claim for it tha N is a pleasure to recommend 1t to dys pepucp because it gives such universal satisfaction. %eo-iri-su'

Not & 'Lady."

The arrangements of the new English court and the abrogation of the custom of kissing those who are presented will prevent the possibility of any recurrence of such an amusing incident as happened at drawing room held by Queen Vic toria. Two ladies of the same name were presented to the Queen. One of them was the wife of a peer, the head of a family. and the other the wife of the younger brother. It so happened that it was the younger woman who was presented first, and the Queen, hearing the name, bent forward to kiss her in the usual cere- monial observed with a peers wife. The official who was in attendance on the Queen saw the mistake and whispered: Don't kiss her, ma am; don't kiss her; she Is not d lady" to the extreme amuse- ment of all in the neighborhood. This is, of course, ''one of those things which one should have said otherwise for the un- fortunate official did not mean exactly what he said. his term lady" being used merely in its official sense.

NEW CURE FOR TUMoRs.
Boiling Water Injected Into the Sub
 stance is the Remedy.

New York, Dec. 6.-After tests covering two years "a physician of this city has announced a new method for treating tumors. It is by the use of boiling water. He uses a syringe with a metal cylinder and adjustable piston, with needles of varying size. Upon the ordi- nary asceptc precaution, water is taken directly from a cauldron and injected into the substance of the tumor. The water must be at a temperature from 190 to PIP degres fahrenheit. or even higher.
 The water he says should be hot enough to coagulate the blood and the albuminides of tissues immediately, but 1t should not be forced in so extremely hot and under such pressure as to scald and produce a necrosis of the skin. Dur ing the treatment the patient is pL. under the influence of narcotics.

his delicate considerateness. his strict ad- herence to legal form, mark him the valiant hero-judge. worthy the name he bears.
 Faintly and in figure, this sweet and olden story portrays the Redeemer and redemption. The outcast, pitiable. and remedliless state of the sinner; the riches of the Savior, His gentleness, compassion and might; the necessity of casting ones self upon Him In simplicity and loving trustfulness.-all are pictured in fasci- hating form. It Is this evangelistic char acteristic which lifts 1t out of the sphere of an amorous fiction and gives this gem of an idyl an unimpeachable claim to its position In the sacred canon.
