twentieth century anachronism is re-
corded by the resolution of the national
conference of German Baptists prohibiting
the use of telephones in the homes of its
members. To be consistent the conference
should also have resolved against the use
OF the telegraph for urgent messages,
against riding on electric street railways
or in electric automobiles. If the line is to
be drawn at innovations of electricity it
should take in the entire list of electrical
inventions.

ttm, but he declined to tell me tust
yet. He intimated that what he had
to say would be of such a startling
character as to be considered at first
absurd. Before I could induce him
to change his mind and tell me his
secret his wife came in and T left
them together"
"It is the old story" said the col
onel, smiling sadly. "The poor fellow
is cornered, and he has not yet
thought out what to say, and is put
ting up this bluff to gain time. A
shrewd lawyer will probably take him
in hand by tomorrow and tell him to
shut his mouth. When a man is in
nocent of a crime, it can never hurt
him or prejudice his case for him to
speak the truth. I would advise you
not to let Wright play upon YOU"
"But if he is seeking to establish
a case on some one else he might
place that person on his guard if he
were to tell what he knows, and so
injure his own chance. Besides, I am
satisfied that whatever clew Wright
has is only a partial one and that it
will have to be joined with others
to amount to anything like proof"

ance I shall be glad to put my serv-
ices at your disposal" said Franklin.

every wild theory that Wright may
advance. A desperate man will stop

After supper Warde was busy in his

was employing considerable skill in
making prominent the unexplained
side of the crime. He knew very well
how the other morning paper, the
Journal, would treat it,; how it would
be described as a perfect case Of cir
cumstantial evidences; and how the
old proverb murder will out" would
be worked into it's weary place sgain
for the edifcation of those who like
their crime mulled with a bit Of NOR
alizing. Warde was endeavoriug in
a really skillful way to emphasize the
mystery in which the case was in
yolved, and to create a doubt in young
Wright's favor. 1t was while he was
occupied thus that he realized fully
how strong a chain of evidence had
been wrought around the man he he
lieved to be innocent. How was 1t
possible for an innocent man to have
got himself tangled up in this way?
While he was working away at his
task, Detective Fenton entered the Of
flee and said he had secured some ad-
ditional evidence in the case, which
he had no objection to making pub
lie.

Many a child who hears a fgurative
remark made between elders takes

it puts an Irishman to shame. This

situated in the northeastern section

discussing the Scriptures and men
toned the name of Samson, of whom
she spoke of being the strongest man
who ever lived. She attempted to
show his enormous muscular power
by stating as simply as possible some
of the wonderful feats he had &C
complished.
A little girl, a newcomer in the
class, listened with more than ordi-
nary interest, and after the teacher
had finished the child liftedfher hand

WHO loves God most loves Nature best,

She never whispers to the rest,
That fill his heart with love and cheer.
God is in all this world the breath
Infusing life and strength through all;
Without God it would be all death
Where silence slept beneath its pail.
There's not an atom anywhere,
However small or hid way,
That does not show Gods love and care,
And praise Him in it's given a
AL nature is one song of praise
That speaks His wondrous love and
power,
And thus with love in turns repays
His gifts that fill their passing hour.
Who God loves, loves all He made,
For in them all he sees His face,
Dimly indeed, as in he blade
The ripened corn we scarcely trace;
For man is brother to all things,
Angel and ant Inc atom small,
Our poor relations to us clingS;
For God is Father of us all.
Most deep and wondrous things they
Who get down close to Natures heart,
Fol she has secrets in her turf
To his most inner ear impart.
True wisdom theirs who learn of her,
For she herself of God is taught;
In following her they cannot err
Who have her inspiration caught.

Though but the worm beneath his feet,
rs felt by all, to all is done,
And shall some time its judgment meet.
Fol God is Love, and Love is just,
And he who wantonly offends
Against those brethren of the dust
Shall find that Love and Justice blend.

A. A. Boyce, a farmer living three

says: ~"A severe cold settled in my

I was obliged to lay off work on account
of the aching in my back and sides.
For a time I was unable to walk at all,
and every makeshift I tried and all the
medicine I took had not the slightest
effect. My back continued to grow
weaker until I was unfit for anything.
Mrs. Boyce noticed Doan's Kidney Pills

"What makes you think SOP"
"Why, I'll tell you. Old Wright was
as hard a piece of cobblestone as you
ever saw. He treated his wife as
if she had been his niger, and he
never had a pleasant word for any
body at home. He kicked his son out,

Miriam, a perfectly scrumptious girl,
