tian Some time ago the owner of q large brewery of this country wrote to a prom inent Sunday school teacher asking him to recommend one of his young men for a responsible position in his establish- ment He wanted him because he knew that that young man would not drink and carouse and that he would have good influence over his men. Oh, my young friends l have often heard young men say, 'It does not pay to be a Christian From every standpoint it pays. It pays on account of your own happiness It pays in dollars and cents on account of your faithfuness and work, and 1t pays on account of your influence over others. Let us one and all today enter into our first great partnership. Let us sign our selves as humble servants and coworkers with Jesus. Let the Saviour be the head, the great head. of that firm and Jesus Christ be the director of our lives.
 The cross Is the most honored of all earthly and heavenly signs in more ways than one Therefore. as We began this sermon with the scene of the foolish race of Ahmaaz. I would close it with the glorious race of Paul who always served under that cross whether he was preach ing or tentmaking. This one thing l do. forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto things which are before-I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus" .day God help you to start in that gospel race here and now. For in that glorious race, O young man, you will find the only triumphs. temporal and spiritual which will satisfy you and which will endurel

Justice Defeated by Appeals.

From the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
 If Justice Brewers idea had ruled in Missouri recently and appeals had been denied in criminal cases, nineteen boodlers-men who had either sold official action for bribes, or dealt out bribes to public seryants-would now being doing time behind prison bars. Wouldn't that spectacle have been one to "braceup" the workers for political reform all over the country? Under the miserable system of allowing ap- peals on all manner ol technicalities. and where the appellant court, as i'll Missouri, exalts the observance of technicalities above the doing of sub stantia justice, there is a widespread belief that few of the boodlers will receive any punishment whatever.

Store Windows Washed Free.

From the New York Times.
 Business men with stores adjoining the downtown fire engine companies are not put to much expense for window washing during the hot weather. The firemen come out with the hose when the streets are deserted. early Sunday morn ings and do 1t for them for nothing. The streets are deserted, except for gamins along the water front. who utilize this opportunity to get weekly soaking. even 10 their ragged clothes. When the men are playing the hose against top story windows the gamins get shower bath such as nice little boys not allowed to roam the streets can only dream of The fremen of an engine company in John street turn that old and respectable thoroughfare into running stream every fine Sunday morning during the summer.

EMERGENCY WAS MET.

The C. & A. met the emergency the
best they could. A track was run
around the wreck and train made
up at Glasgow for the Glasgow and
Louisiana traffic, the cars used being
cattle cars with planks around the
edges for use as seats. The baggage
car was a little more like the real
thing, as 1t was box car with solid
sides. This train went east through
Mexico abont 2:3O o'clock.
AS the wrecker for this division al
Slater was not available on account Of
conditions west Of the Glasgow bridge
it was necessary to send across the
Mississippi for one, it crossing the
river at Quincy and down to Hannibal
over the Burlington. 1t came over
the short line to Bowling Green and ar
rived on the scene of the wreck about
4;3O o'clock.

leo late Friday afternoon, stopping of
again for a short time. He did not
talk of the depot site but 1t is thought
that the announcement Of the selec-

WRECK Is CLEARED UP.
The wreck between here and Gen.
tralia on the Alton has been cleared
up and traffic is once more open with
out the use of the track built around
the scene of the accident.
1t will be several days before the
trains can go beyond Louisiana OF
Glasgow, but it is announced that the
Louisiana end will be opened to
traffic first
CONDITIONS CHANGED SLIGHTLY.
The condition of the railroad
facilities remains practically the same
with the exception that the Alton is
selling tickets to Jefferson City, the
waters having receded at Cedar City
enough to allow the transportation Of
passengers over the bridge between the
two places.

DON'T D1spIsE A COUNTRY BOY

Don't plague the bashful country boy,
Who looirs with awe upon you now;
His clothes are poor and he Is coy,
Anu tangles up his legs somehow,
So that he stumbles awkwardly
In making way for you--but he,
So guileless now, SO poorly dressed
May hide away down in his breast
A Lincoln heart, or be possessed
OF wishes such as Garfield had
To stand where but the greatest
Eh may;
Wbleugh out at the country lad
-ses awkwardlY to-day.
Don't spurnNA
who tries to poor boy in the street
The shoes are raggead lostles you;
His trousers may be tfJs feet,
With grlmy hands and tan9 zoo;
He dodges here and hurries thereair,
Too little for bis years, but still
Deep In his breast may be the will
That spurred Carnegie up the hill.
Forgive the child who sometimes
dares
To play little on his way;
Down in the busy thoroughfares
Are the boys the world shall know
some day.
Oh, country boy, lift my hat
| In humble Difference to you;
Oh, little worker in the street,
Clad in your soiled and tattered blue,
With awe watch-you as you pass
Imight cry ''Bravoln II | knew,
oh, ragged, tired, awkward boy,
| What things God sent you here to do.

A president of an institution Of
learning recently distributed circu
lar in which he said: whenever q
student here shows himself intellect
ually or morally unworthy, our eager
ness is great to get rid of bin. 1t is
our business to look for good students
and to keep out poor ones" This EN-
inent educator makes grave mistake
Public schools are not reformatories,
but they are formative institutions.
By intellectually or morally aE,
worthy" he certainly means to include
only those who are naturally "defc-
ient,n but why "keep out poor ones. ;
Good students can take care of them
selves. The State need not spend vast
sums "to look after good students. ,
1t should 60 out after the poor ones,
The State has no need Of any sort OF
laristocracy in her educational insti

7r Dpt fhiffE itiunu4 etui0sa ss=s. tho inadp-
quate equipment Of our railroads is
shown in the congested strawberry
market Of Maryland. Three car loads
Of berries were recently sold in Balti-
more for about cent quart owing
to their inferior condition. They had
been shipped in ordinary ventilator
cars because the demand for refrigera-
tor cars to transport berries to market
cannot be filed. So the strawberry
patches of Maryland are dead loss
to their owners, while New York and
Philadelphia are deprived of an abun-
dant supply of delicious fruit.
Even in ordinary transportation the
carrying power of the railroads has
not kept pace with production, as was
shown in the recent threatened flour
famine and the congestion Of the rail
roads leading to New York. 1t Is evil
dent that the railroads must attack in
earnest the problem of adequate
freight equipment.
