"Ikey, Get on the Wagon. +"

The quick wit of one of the ushers
at a recent wedding ayerted what
might have been a tragedy following
the joyous ceremony. He had been the
life of the large house party attending
the wedding. One of his stories particu-
larly pleased the father of the bride.
The catch line in it was, Likely, get off
the wagon" After the bride and bride
groom had started on their honeymoon
a number of the guests went to a thea
ter, then to supper, and it was late
when they drove to the home Of their
host.
The house was dark, and though a
ring of the bell would have brought one
of the servants, it was decided for
lark to try to get in, undetected, through
a window opening on the porch. Being
in happy mood the party forgot that
there had been some talk during the
day of the possibilities Of burglars max
ing try for the valuable wedding pres
ents.
The window fastening was not very
secure and a little pressure released it.
Then the usher got his head inside the
window. He saw the CLINT of polished
steel In the dim light at the end of the
hall, and he realized his danger of be-
ing shot for burglar Quick as a flash
he shouted, Likely, get off tie wagon"
When the brides father opened the
door and let them in, he Sill had the
revolver in his hanG. He said, a little
more soberly then he had before, MY
boy, that's great story. New York

Farm Notes.


1t is noted that the hog is invariably
healthier in the dairy sections Of the
country than in those where the COW
is not kept. and this difference is at
tributed to the use Of skim milk for
the pigs when young.
When a plant produces seed It will
not afterward make an attempt to
flower. Pansies, which bear flowers
profuseIy, should be kept clean by
picking the flowers off daily. If this
is not done the supply Of flowers will
soon fall of.
Thinning fruit ordinarily does not
produce as marked an increase in yield
the first year as it does the following
year. Prof. S. A. Beach. Of New York,
believes that the most economical
method OF thinning fruits is by judi
cious pruning.
Poor land on a farm may be used to
better advantage for forest than any
other purpose. Even in very fertile
districts there are few farms without
some tncultivable land. Land which
is extremely dry or wet. or rocky or
sandy. or land subject to washing,
should he used for forest
In making the well-known kerosene
emulsion !. Is an easy matter to make
a mistake, 80 mat the kerosene sepa-
rates from the water. Kerosene will
mix with milk or soapsuds, but in
making the emulsion plenty Of soap
should be used. as 1t will be difficult
to mix the substances unless such Is
the case.
Clay loan is often the finest beet
soil. but on account Of subsoiling and
because Of the need of good drain
age It must not have tough clay or
hardpan underneath. Perfect beets
demand not only depth. mellowness
and fertility as So. characteristics. but
also as well freedom from standing
water for any length Of time. and
from such stones as would interfere
with cultivation.

IN ingenious arrangement to help him
put when the wagon becomes stuck in
the mud. The picture almost explains
itself. showing, as ii does, how the in
vention gives a leverage near the cir
conference of the wheel, instead of
compelling the team to pull direct on
the axle, as heretofore. From each
lend of the doubletree a rod runs back
to the upper end of a lever pivoted on
the axle. Attached to these levers are
pawls, which engage the teeth of the
ratchet " leels, the latter being secur-
ed to the rear wheels of the wagon.
When a team is pulling q heavy load
the doubletree vibrates, owing to the
fact that the two horses do not step
in unison and do not pull exactly to-
gether. 1t is this vibration that is util-
lied in applying the device. as it en-
ables the pawls to secure alternate
hold on the teeth of either wheel, thus
gradually working the wagon out of
the rat or up the steep hill. When the
team is travelling smoothly on a level
road the pawls ride idly in the ratchets'
without interfering with the rotation
Of the wheel.

NEW CREED is NOW A FACT.
Report on Revision Adopted by Pres
byterian General Assembly.

Report on Revision Adopted by Pres
byterian General Assembly.
The Presbyterian Church of the United
States, in general assembly at Los An
geles, Cal, finally disposed of the ques-
ton of revision of the creed that has
been before the last three general as
semblies and which has agitated presby-
terrain circles for the last fifteen years.
The assembly by unanimous vote adopt
ed the revision of the confession of faith
AS prepared by the committee appointed
by the general assembly in 1901.
Besides clearing the calendar of this
important question the assembly dispos-
ed of ''the Tennessee overture" in re-
gard to separate nresbyteries in the
same territory" which was commonly
known as the ',colored question" of the
presbyterian church and the report Of
the special committee on divorce and
remarriage.
DR.. Van Dyke presented the report
of the committee on creed revision. The
only protests against the new creed were
from Lehigh and ST Cloud presbyteries
and these protests were thrown out.
The following declaratory statement,
which preceded the reading of the text
of the oyertures, was adopted:
''While the ordination vow of minis
tiers, ruling elders and deacons, as set
forth in the form of government, re-
quires the reception or adoption of the
confession of faith only as containing
the system Of doctrine taught in the holy
scriptures, nevertheless, seeing that the
desire has been formally expressed for
disavoyal by the church of certain in
ferences drawn from statements in the
confession of faith and also for a dec
laration of certain aspects of revealed
truth which appear at the present time
to call for more explicit statement, there
fore the Presbyterian Church in the Unit
ed States of America does authoritative
ly declare as follows:
Then follows the text of changes in
the confession of faith. One of the most
vital changes is that expressing belief
that all who die in infancy are saved.

Yankee Ideas Invade Syria.

For the first time the ancient and
primitive methods of labor in the Holy
Land have been disturbed by the intro
duction of Western inventions The
natives of Syria have been jolted out
of the rut of ages by the boom of the
thrashing machine and the musical
whirr of the reaping machine!
Last summer an enterprising Amerl-
can imported the first reaper and set
It TO cutting the grain in the Syrian
fields. He had 1t sent all the way
from Chicago. Then a little later a
steam thrasher. the product of an In
diana foundry. was heard of in Coele-
Syria. 1t created great excitement
among the native farmers. They were
afraid of it at first. then later con-
cluded ii to be the work OF the evil
one and tried to destroy it. They were
with difficulty brought to see its many
advantages over the old way of tread
ing out the grain.
The American windmill speedily fol-
lowed the thrasher. and month or
more ago a -four mill, with machin-
cry and oil motor engine complete,
from indianapolis, began grinding
wheat IN Lebanon
