SAVED BY PRAYER.
How Young Man Was Kept from
Yielding to Temptation IN
N Great City.
SATURDAY,

"Good-by, Harry; remember that
mamma win always pray for your
safety"
These were the last words Harry
heard as be went out of the gate toward
the railroad station to take the train
Sor New York. The words kept ringing
In his ears as the train passed rapidly
out of the village and new scenes came
to his view. At the station in New York
city his uncle was waiting for him.
In few days Harry was at work in
the new, grand store of his uncle. There
he became acquainted with young men
of his own age who seemed friendly, in
vited him to join in their excursion par
ties in the evening, and visit them at
their homes. Before the first week was
ended he had visited three of the boys OF
the city and taken trip over to Jersey
City, where several other boys took q
trip on their bicycles. Harry had
brought his wheel with him and enjoyed
the trip over the new country very
much.
After they had gone a distance, they
stopped for refreshments, and he soon
found himself standing at a bar in a
saloon.
What will you have, Harry?" he
heard one of his new friends inquiring
I'll take a glass of lemonade, if you
please" answered Harry.
Pretty good joke, Harry; but you
don't get such stuff here; we are all
going to have beer; I'll order one for
you, too" And before he could think
of an answer, the bartender had placed
it before him.
Harry felt lump in his throat, but
with fixed determination, answered:
mo, do not drink"
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1903-11-07

"Pshaw!" exclaimed one of the young
men, you are not temperance, are
your"
"A glass of beer cannot hurt you; it
is healthful," said another.
Il promised mother" replied Harry
that / would not drink anything that
might make drunkard of me, and il !
never begin, shall never have to stop;
no one has ever become drunkard who
refused the first glass: but many drunk
ards who meant to stop after they had
tasted beer or liquor Just once;' no, I
shall not drink"
It was a long speech for Harry to
make, but he thought OF his mothers
prayer, and resolved that she should not
pray in vain. He expected the boys
to ridicule him for his remarks. When
Tom Ankers, the young man who had
worked next to him at the store, there
fore took him by the hand, and with
emotion said: Thank you, Harry; my
mother used to tell me the same thing;
she thinks her boy has never brought
the intoxicating cup to his lips; prom
Use you that from tonight on shall try
to keep IL" it surprised Harry greatly.
But his surprise increased when one

and said: 81 promised my present en-
ployer that I would never again enter a

CONVINCING FIGURES.
What Total Abstinence Has Done for
the British Soldier
I'm India.

Under this heading the National
Temperance society some months ago
published in leaflet form an article by
Lord Roberts, showing what total alb
stinence has done for the British SOL
diers in India. In this leafiet this dis
tinguished British general takes the
same view as that held by our own
Lieut.. Gen. Miles. Among other things,
Lord Roberts says:
There is. l believe. in some quar-
ters an idea that it is the more spirited
section of the British soldiers that
drink
Il do not believe it for a moment
This is one of the old-world falla-
cies that may be classed and dismissed
with the idea that the greatest black
guards make the best soldiers on SER
vice
Undoubtedly there is certain reck-
lessness of disposition that will carry
men a certain length, particularly in
the first flush and fashion of a cam
paign; but it is not dependable quail
ity.
THE characteristics that mark the
best soldiers in trying circumstances
and midst depressing surroundings are
high sense of duty, self-respect and
self-command
IF soldiers would raise the social
status of their pNofession. they must
cultivate temperance and decorum. and
banding themselves together in socie-
ties, such as the Army Temperance
association, is the best means of at
tanning the much desired end.
TO show in what an increasing ra-
ton total abstinence is commencing it
self to our soldiers. I quote you the
following figures representing the av-
erage totals of former years:

From generalities let us now pro-
coed to particulars.
Take the matter os courts-martial.
IL find that the court-martial return
of 1893 shows that there were eight
general courts-martial held for the
trial of British soldiers.
"Of those tried all were non-ab-
stainers. There were 1.45O district
courts-martial. and Of these only "a
were abstainers. There were $50 reg
mental courts-martial. and of those
tried only 80 were members of the A.
T. association.
ITO sum up. there were 2.6oS courts
martial in the year. and of these trials
only 73 were he'd for trial of members
OF the Army Temperance association.
1T does not need the help of the
schoolmaster to show that according to
the percentage of our strength we
were entitled to about SEQ courts-mar-
dal. and we only got credit for 10.
My experience tells me that nearly
all the crime in the British army in In
dia is directly traceable TO drinking to
excess"

Farm Notes,

No animal can be expected to make
a satisfactory growth that Is fed on
starvation rations. Economic feeding
is the paramount issue. :-.
The greatest mistake that can be
made is to allow stock to deteriorate in
the winter time with the hope Of re-
gaining what has been lost when grass
comes.
The greatest profit has come from
lambs that never stopped growing I'm,
til they were sold. A lamb or any
other young animal that loses flesh is
losing money.
Some farmers have a side line when
engaged in farming. Some of them
make more at the side issue than they
do at the main vocation. Neglect must
como when one is engaged in a SIDE
issue. This has been ascertained by
bitter experience.
The sheep will find quite an amount
Of forage on the stubble field which
other animals will not touch at this
season, but because a sheep Is willing
to eat what it can find in that manner
should not deprive it from receiving
regular rations at the barnyard.
In constructing a poultry house 1t IL

A powerful factor in the govern

United States passed away recently
in the death at Baltimore of Most Rev.
John Joseph Kahn, archbishop or St.

exercised commanding influence in
the church and was one Of its most

He was born in Maritnsburg, W.
Va, in 1871. His father died when he
was very young, leaving four small
children, and the future archbishop
had to go to work to help his mother
and three little sisters. At the age of
16 he was enabled to enter st. Mary's
