The Hurricane Anglers.

The old man had place on the
curbstone near a busy corner in a
city. where he made canes and sold
them on request.
He did not offer them for sale, his
working at it was his advertising
plan, and he did not like to have
crowds of moneyless curious collect
around him, as that obstructed the
sidewalk and probably endangered
his privileges.
AT times the crowds would form
and remain until he would have an
angry fit like hurricane. This made
the trouble worse and increased the
size of the crowd, but when angers
begin they do not very often stop to
inquire where they are going to end.
II they did they might end at the be-
ginning. On these subjects young
people are able to start with the wis.,
dom which elderly people stop with.

Discovering a Market.

How to find the person who wants
TO buy what you have to sell is an in
teresting subject and one over which
many are thinking. But il you happen
to have a rare kind of an article or
the only thing of its kind and it Is
bat one. so that only one person in
the world is your market and a one
time sale ends the transaction the
hunt becomes much like that for a
needle in haystack. Should you ever
be trying to do anything as difficult as
this remember that while on the way
to see man VINO does not want what
you have you may meet person who
knows of some one who does want 1t.
Keep moving and think also.

Thy guiding eye. my Lord. l view;
My times are in Thy hands.
Throughout the year. my Heavenly
Friend,
on Thy blest guidance l depend:
From its commencement to its end
My times are in Thy hands.
Should comfort health and peace be
mine.
Should hours of gladness on me shine.
Then let me trace Thy love divine;
My times are in Thy hands.
But shouldst Thou visit me again
With languor sorrow. sickness. pain,
Still let this thought my hope sustain.
My times are in Thy hands.
Thy smile alone makes moments bright.
That smile turns darkness into light:
This thought will soothe gref's saddest
night,
My times are in Thy hands.
Should those this year be called away
Who lent to life its brightest ray.
Teach me in that dark hour to say,
My times are in Thy hands.

oh. then bright reverse appears.
Then / shall no more say with tears,
My times are in Thy hands.
That hand my steps shall gently guide
To the dark brink of Jordan's tide.
Then bear me to the heavenward side;
My times in Thy hands.

THE MOSAIC METHOD.

MoAes was city young man and
evil.
One day he found man killing an
other man, SO he killed the killer.
HIS method was not appreciated by
any one. SO he went to live on a farm
Tor forty years.
He round father-in-law who taught
him n lot of common sense.
When he had learned to do a few
things right then God called on him
and gave him an order.
Moses had lot of zeal when he
knew everything except how to do it
right.
Now that he knew how to do it
right and had an order he lost his
zeal.
He wanted his bI other to be given
the order. so God let him have part of
it. But by pushing Moses along God
made him very useful and practical
leader.
Moses got mad over the follies of
his followers and then made a fool of
himself for a minute.
He might have lived longer and
been more useful if he had asked God
in place of getting mad.
Moses got sick of the Mosaic meth
cd, as everybody does in time, and he
learned by expensive experience to
leave all glory and revenge to God.
He might have learned all he did by
observation and saved himself a lot
of trouble.

Ancient New Years Gifts.

Queen Elizabeth made most lavish
use of the custom of distributing gifts
at New Years. She herself received
most gorgeous presents, and history
enumerates some of the things as cas-
kets studded with precious stones,
'armlets set with rubies," necklaces,
mantels, silken hose, smocks, petit
coats, looking glasses, fans and
brooches. These things do not sound
SO wildly wonderful to us now, but at
that time no doubt many of the things
were rare novelties. Silk stockings
and looking glasses are mentioned as
being wonders of that age. No doubt
some of the other things were more
or less so.
During the reign OF the Bourbon
Kings in France that country cele.
brated New Years most pictur-
esquely.
Carriages loaded with bonbons
were driven through the streets of
Paris and the poor were feted on
sweets that day as they never were
on any other throughout the year.
Preparations for this celebration
were going on in the confectioners'
quarter for days before New Year,
and it is said that the hustle and ac-
tivity was SO great at the time that
no one could get in on any other busi-
ness than that concerning the great
holiday.
Literally showers Of confetti bonben
boxes of every conceivable kind and
device fell upon the poor of Paris
upon that day, on which the king
grew lavish.

swollen and painful. A long disastrous ill
ness follows. The child may live and be-

HE PROMISED IMMUNITY
Alleged King Peter Was Coenizant of
the Assassination of Drasa and
Alexandra.

Berlin, Aug. 1S.-The Westphalia Ga
zette prints a letter from a person in
Belgrade. who is in confidential rela-
lions with leaders of. the recent con-
spiracy," explaining Why King Peter
is completely in their hands, and does
not dare to do the slightest govern
1entai act without their approval. The
writer affirms the new king was cog
infant of h conspiracy long before
the Tegiclde was perpetrated and gave
1he conspirators a written pledge not
to punish them if he himself were
elected King. According to the letter
the following were the circumstances
under which the pledge was given:
After the plans Of Colonel Maschin
and Minister OF Commerce Genshics
were fully matured the latter went to
Geneva and with Prince Peter
karageorgevitch, who expressed his
approval of the proposed murder and
promised immunity for the conspir-
ators. The minister returned to Bel
grade and informed the regicide COM
m!ttee, which, however, was not salts
fed with a verbal promise. NJ. Genshic
~thereupon returned to Geneva and OBJ
tanned a written agreement which gave
Prince Peters sanction to the assas-
sinatlons and promised exemption from
punishment The conspiratorS still
nave the letter, using it to intimidate
the king into complete sub~servience to
their wishes.

AWFUL SUFFERING.
Hurricanes Have Left Island of
Jamaica in a Sad
PLIGHT.

Kingston, Jamaica, Aug. T.-There
are heartrending enc all over the
eastern n northern portions of thL
island of Jamaica. At Port Antonio
thousands Of homeless and starving
people have sought shelter in the old
prison n the few other buildings
which survived the hurricane. Those
who could not be thus accommodated
are covering in the lee of ruined walls
and d~isnantled ptazzas. The railroad
shed n waiting room are filled with
women and children. The merchants
of the place are feeding the hungry to
the best of their ability, but the ma
Jorlty are depending upon unripe
bananas, knocked down by the storm.
This is their sole food supply. and it
will be exhausted in mir or ten days.
Similar conditions prevail at many
other points.
In the interior the distress is equally
acute. Scarcely a peasants home Is
standing. Even the dwellings Of the
planters, which are built of substan-
tial stone. have been %unroofed, with
few exceptions.
The misery Of the peasant families
is indescribable.
The local hospitals in the wind
swept districts are crowded with the
injured, and the death list is increas-
ing.
The bulk Of the Blue mountain cof-
fee has been ruined, and the pimento
groves which stood for centuries have
been obliterated.
! 1t is now estimated that the loss on
the island will reach $4,000, 900.

in the history of the organization.

Latest Advices From Colombia Ar
That Senate Has Rejected Measure.
Bogota, Colombia. Aug. 19.-(Via
Buena Ventura.)-The. Panama canal
treaty has been rejected unanimously
by the Colombian congress.
Washington, Aug. ia cable dated
August II has been received at the
state department. from Minister Beau
pre-, at Bogota, saying the Panama
canal treaty has been rejected by the
Colombian senate.
President Roosevelt was Immediately
advised Of h news, Beaupre's tele-
gram being forwarded to Oyster Bay.
Very little additional Information
concerning the action of the Colombian
senate could be obtained at the state
department. Mr.. Adee, acting secre-
tary. would not discuss Colombian at
fairs nor Indicate what course the
United States woul pursue.
The Information in the cablegram OF
Minister Beaupre was meager and
there was no intimation whether the
treaty might not again be brought uI
for consideration.
1t will be impossible for President
Marroquin to submit again the treaty
to the Colombian congress in it's pres
ent form. The senate having rejected
it, the treaty cannot again come be-
fore that body except by the senate's
W vote. President Marroquin, how
ever, can send a treaty, slightly amend
ed, to the senate and reopen the canal
debate. 1t is believed at the Colombian
legation that he will adopt some such
procedure.

PARLIAMENT WILL
TAKE A VACATION
Kings Speech Proroguing the
Body Was Presented This
Forenoon.
SOME QUESTIONS ASKED
Premier Expresses Preferences for
Discussing Fiscal Question Be-
fore Country Rather Than
in the Commons.

London, Aug. 17.-Parliament was
prorogued today until November 2.
The kings speech was Of little general
or international interest. It alluded to
the cordiality of the kings reception In
Portugal, Italy and France and ex-
pressed the deepest satisfaction at the
manifestation of good will and the cor
dial reception on his recent visit to
Ireland.
Referring to the Irish land bill the
speech says: This reform, by remov-
ing the ancient causes of social dis
sension, will, I heartily trust, onduc
to the ommon benefit of all my Irish
Subjects"
. Reference is made In the speech to
the general anxiety regarding the stu
alton in the European provinces of Tur-
key, to the great progress made In the
work Of resettleTnent and p~acif1catlon
in South Africa, n the improvement
in conditions of agriculture and finance
in India.
In the house of several
questions were asked relating to mat
tiers of international interest. Premier
iBalfour in a general reply said there
had been unexpected delay in the Vene-
Zueia question, due to the fact that
France n Spain objected to the use
of the English language by the tri-
bunal. The question a been left to
the tribunal itself to decide. He be-
Moved the court would meet on h date
originally f1xed
Regarding complaints that the gov
eminent was showing lack Of sym
pathy with Macedonia, Mr.. Balfour
pointed out that one of the deep
| sources of mischief was the dissension
| among Christians.
1t was not the Turk alone, deep as his
guilt undoubtedly was. who was re-
, sponsibla. for the miserable conditions.
1t would be folly to forget that Chris
tians committed atrocities on Chris
tians. The government Is still OF the
opinion the best policy was to support
the Austro-Russion e~ndeavors to Inn
prove the administration.
Dealing with the protests against
puzzling the house on the fiscal contro-
Kersy the premier said he thought
there was no necessity for undue hurry
in discussing the matter.
With a final fling from Winston
Churchill, who seemed doubtful whetl-
er the present parliament would meet
again, and who characterized the pre-
mier's policy of transferring the fiscal
discussion from parliament to the coun-
try as that of a demagogue, the sitting
was suspended.
Somebody Must Retire.
There probably has never been a
propagation Of parliament which for
the future Of the government was SO
uncertain as is the caSe on this occa-
sion. Many believe there will be a dis
solution in the autumn, though the
best information does not support this
belief. Mr.. Balfour's speech at Shelf
field at the enc of September is await
ed with the keenest interest. as it will
contain a pronouncement of policy
which will possibly force either the
trader, or Secretary Chamberlain tc
resign.
