Quotations Not to Be Found in the Bible.

'',There are a number of sentences moi
in the Bible which everybody thinks are
there" said clergyman TO a Philadelphi;
Record writer. 1.-THE chief one of thes,
sentences is: He tempers the wind to tn,
shorn lamb You would search the Bible
pretty thoroughly before you would fine
that sentence in it. Where you would fine
it would be in Sterne's Sentimental
Journey
"Sterne gers a good deal of praise fol-
the originality of this sentence, but it was
originated, as n matter of fact. before he
was born. In n collection of French pro
verbs, published in 1894, we find Dieu

So In the midst of life we are in death
everybody thinks that is in the Bible Ii

THAT he who runs may read This
is another sentence supposed, wrongly, tC
be Biblical. 1t is not Biblical, though the
Bible has something very like it. namely
That he may run that readeth.'
"'PrOne to sin as the sparks fly up

words.

EVERYBODY DOING WELL.
All the men you see around the stations
and all who come aboard seem wellto-do
and sanGuine as to the future.
When you talk to them you find that
they are all from the East; that they came
out here with little or nothing, possibly
were employed as laborers by the rail
roads. or in the mines. but all have done
well and have no desire to return East,
and are simply bubbling over with the
future they see for Arizona or New Mex

from. Between the two the Arizona men

and more of it. There is simply no COM
pairing it with any other salt deposit any
where. 1t is down on the Gulf coast in
the Calcasieu country, and the vein is 4
full mile thick, and no telling how wide.
1t was the source of all salt west of the
Mississippi River during the war, and
there used to be great caravans of mules
carrying it off to- other parts of the cOun-

want to. All that is done is to drive n
steel pipe down through the sand until
the salt vein is struck, when water is let
in and the salt is pumped out. This is
done when quicksand prevents mining

been known for years, but the trouble was
to get at it. 1t is overlaid with thick
bed of quicksand. All sorts of ways
were tried, and several companies went
bankrupt. One built freezing plant to
freeze the quicksand, so shafts could be
sunk. Finally the Standard Oil Company
took up the job. They drive steel tube
down through the quicksand, then pump
out all that is inside the tube, and put
down inside it other pipes, through which
they let down hot water, which dissolves
the sulphur. This is pumped back, the

The Best Type of the Soldier Hero.

81
One Of the bravest of our Indian fight
ers was Guy V. Henry. Personally he
was typical representative of the knight
ly American soldier: officially it was his
fortune to perform conspicuous services in
at least three expeditions subsequent to
the civil war. He was West Pointer
and the son of another born in the SER
vice at Fort Smith in the Indian Territory
Graduating in 1861 mere boy. he partic
ipated in four years of the hardest fight
ing in the civil war from Bull Run to Cold
Harbor. At the age of % his merit won
him the appointment of Colonel of the 10th
Mass, regiment that was never whip

laughed ut the beardless STRIPPING who was
appointed to command them. He mas
tered them, and to this day they love his
memory.
He was thrice mentioned in dispatches
and brevetted five times for conspicuous
gallantry in action during the war. out of
which he came with the rank of Briga
der General. For heroic and successful
fighting at old Cold Harbor he received
the highest distinction that can come to a
soldier the Medal of Honor. Having two
horses shot from under him in the attack
upon the lines, he seized third from q
trooper. mounted him under whitening
fire. and led his soldiers forward in a
final assault which captured the intrench-
ments-this third horse was shot under
him just as he leaped the breastworks.

It Cures Catarrh

The Mackenzie treatment for catarrh
has probably cured more people of that
trouble in the past decade than alt the
pateiit medicines together, This is why:
1t is treatment which is undergone
daily without inconv ehience.
1t is a local treatment which allays in
IMAGINATION in the nasal passage and
throat, prevents colds and thereby gives
the system Il breathing speil-an oppor-
tunity To throw off the disease.
1t is an internal treatmentto neutralize
the catarrhal virus which has been alb

the system. .. -,
III is a home treatment. -
It is an ihexp9Esive treatment. The
cost figures hetweep two and three cents

We know that auy case of cstarrh can
be cured by the Mackenzie Method. we

it are now well. Hive you the disease?

The region about North Adams Is fur
nishing object lessons with respect to
the position taken by this paper that
beef raising In New England can once
more be made profitable industry,
says the Boston Transcript. The theo-
~ was verX:much strengthened by the
opinion Of Professor Sanborn Of New
Hampshire, which has been made
part of the report Of the Massa chusetts
board of horticulture. 1t is now report
ed from North Adams that native beef
is coming into the local markets In
greater quantities than fer many years
before. There is licensed slaughter
house in a section of the city known as
the Beavers. (which is open to- all hav-
ing animals to be prepared for market
and where the slaughtering is done un-
der the eye of an official inspector, who
sees that no unfit meat is turned out
for local consumers. The heavy beef
of the west has hitherto had the call,
but the local. public Is now ready to
welcome an escape from the high prices
that prevail in the encouragement OF
home industry. There is certainly OPP
portunity in New England for meeting
this change in public sentiment. 1t is
an excellent time for fattening beef
stock on the aftermath of the mead
ows with the corn and root products
nearing the harvest time, and the prices
are remunerative. OF course the cattle
supply here is limited. Farmers have
not yet realized their new opportunity,
but they may as well be making prepa-
ration for the year that is ahead.
The Red Polls.
The Red Polled is one of the young
est of the breeds. 1t was not until the
year 1916 that the union of the Nor
folk and Suffolk breeders gave the
breed it's name, and from that time the
real history of the breed may be said
to date, though for many years before
this the two branches bad preserved
their individuality in their respective
districts. From the start this breed
has been famous as one valuable alike

Marketing Cattle.
The extensive marketing Of cattle at
this time indicates, according to the
National Stockman, that feeders are
becoming somewhat panicky and want
to escape with as little loss as possible
by putting their stock on the market
early OF course nobody knows how
many cattle are on feed and to come
forward later in the winter, but the
condition above stated suggests that the
marketing then will not be SO heavy as
has been anticipated Certainly If the
movement Of half fat cattle to market
continues there will be fewer fat ones
TO compete with each ether later on.
There is every reason to expect good
supply for months yet, but an oversup
ply of late cattle may be avoided by
the scare that is now sending so many
to the saughterer. Prices have suf
fered materially of late, and few sales
above SO are now recorded at Chicago
