IN the beginning of his remarks that il
was the fundamental duty Of a Christian
10 give the gospel which he had received

encountered in this work. The first dir

or even citizens. The second difficulty
is the shifting OF population from one
center to another. In a night. so TO speak.
Mining camps spring up and men crowd
IN for wealth and care for nothing else
new country is opened up and n great
rush is made and unless the workers OF
Christ are continually moving the work
will be shut out.
There is still a greater difficulty-the

Commonly, the first symptom of cold

Ing, or a tickling in the throat. The most
frequent of external causes are draughts,
wet or cold feet, or going from hot rooms
suddenly into cold ones. More frequently
there is an inner cause-namely the stagna-
ton of the blood caused by constipation or
biliousness. Almost the first symptom is
the feeling of cold in the feet and increased
discharge from the nose.
No one ever takes cold unless consti-
pated, or exhausted, and having what we
call NAL nutrition which is attended with

of alcohol, iron or cod liver oil do not bring

Twas evening, and the western sky
Threw shafts Of crimson and gold,
And mingled was the ethereal dye
Whilst western glories eastward rolled.
And from the fields there came song
With cadence of a holy psalm
Where sunbeams sparkled sheaves
among
The air had scent of harvest balm.
Anon, the sky its glories flung
Ger many a hill and many dale
And answering echoes erst were sung
In Olympia fair and ancient vale.
Still fairer beamed the western sky
Sunbeams kissed, wild flowers among.
The squirrel peeped from fir-tops high
And nature piped with ceaseless song.
Whilst birds and bees their notes pro-
longed,
My path was through the tangled way
When to my feet pale moonbeams
thronged
Sank western waves of ebblng day."
Twas night, and many a silver star
Was twinkling over woods and dellS,
And where the nomad wanders far
Just there the nightbird safely dwells.
From rock to rock the pure rills tingled
But slept the wild bees in their cells
And bright cascades their music mingled
With the chime of vesper bells.
Ten thousand stars were burning
bright"
The owl tuned no nocturnal note
And Earth, enrobed in solemn night
Babe clouds aloft in silence float.

Peculiarities Of the Gentler Sex.

When one woman envies another
she is sure to snub her.
A cynical woman is one who de.
clares that all men are alike.
No man is a nonenity unless he is
prominent woman's husband.
With the exception of yourself ev-
erybody is more or less deceitful.
The poor deluded bride thinks she
is marrying the best man at the we'd
ing.
Many girl who is daisy when she
graduates is transformed into a wall
flower later on.
When a woman sleeps in o hotel
she always dons a slumber robe that
will show up well ON fire escape.
A woman may be convinced in after
years that. she drew q blank in the
matrimanial lottery, but she clings to
the belief that her husband drew a
prize.

Teaching by Example.

A mother whose little 6-year-old boy
had just begun to attend kindergarten
noticed great change in his deport.
ment. Previously he had been rough
and discourteous. Now he was kind
and gentle most OF the time. Natur.
ally, the mother inferred that his
teacher had been specially teaching
him politeness.
"Does Miss Smith teach you to be
politef" she asked.
"No, said the boy, "she never says
Q word about it,"
Further questioning resulted only in
more emphatic denials that any les.
sons in politeness had been given q,
school.
"Well, then," the mother asked fin'
ally: "If Miss Smith doesn't say any.
thing, what does she do?
"she doesn't do anything" persisted
the lad. "She just walks around, and
we feel polite. We feel just as polite
AS anything"
This was all that the boy could tell
but through the mystery his mother
saw a gleam OF explanation that was
perhaps lesson TO herself.

For Good Behavior,

S. G. Yerkes is telling his railroad
friends another story. This time it
does not relate to babies, but concerns
a charming California widow who had
publicly and frequently announced,
after the death of her husband. that
she would not marry again for at least
two years.
1T was just eight months later that
one OF her friends met her at dinner"
said Yerkes, "when formal announce
ment OF her engagement to a Sacra-
mento lawyer was made, with the add.
ed news that sho was to be married in
six months.
"How's this, Bess,' asked an inti-
mate friend, Il thought there was .
two-year limit on this marriage bust
ness?
THAT was my original intention
the widow blandly responded, but
I've concluded that I'm entitled to
eight months off for good behavior
same as they get in the State prisons,

The report indicates that between IL
and 16 per cent. of the negro popula-

principle and policy. Everything was
cut and dried for the Republican Con-
vention, all had been arranged for it
by Roosevelt. The Democratic Con-
vention was deliberative, self-govern-
ing body; it picked out its own leader
and declared its own will in the plat
form it promulgated.
More umbrellas are spoilt through
careless treatment than wear out from
actual hard work. One great mistake
that many people make is to leave an
umbrella standing on its point to dry
after it has been used in the rain.
This is most harmful, as all the water
trickles down and settles in the folds
at the narrow end of the silk, and this
not only causes the silk to rot, but
the wire frame to grow rusty. The
right way to treat wet umbrella
when brought into the house is to
open it wide-don't be uperstitious-
and wipe it as dry as possible, then
half-close it and leave it standing on
its handle to drain. Wet umbrellas
should never be put near a fire, this
also is likely to cause the silk to split.
The practice of eating prepared
breakfast foods, grain mashes and
similar preparations, now so widely
advertised under various names, is
having the result of largely increas-
ing the prevalence of Indigestion. Az
expert states that the human stomach,
being designed to digest meat and
strong nourishment, becomes untitled
for it's proper duties when quantities
Of these mushy foods are taken. Ex-
periments on birds have shown how
this is. An owl, the stomach OF
which is formed Qike man's) to di-
gest meat, was fed for time on grain
foods only. 1t was then killed, and
upon examination it was found that
the inner coat of the stomach had
become quite leathery through the
improper food, and the liver had be-
come enlarged. Grain foods and
mashes may do for fowls and horses,
but if human beings indulge in them
they must take the consequences.
which are indigestion and liver com.
plant.
The old adage" Honesty is the best
policy" reminds us OF very remark
able example of that rare virtue which
came under my personal observation
while in Seattle the other day. I was
talking to a friend on Second avenue,
when keen-faced news-boy ran to US
offering for sale "speshul 'dition" of
an evening newspaper. My friend de-
clined to buy, and the lad, instead OF
darting off in search of another custo.
mer, glanced up into his face and
then, evidently recognizing him thrust
one of the sheets into his hand. "I
owe ye one," be said, and was gone.
My friend was naturally astonished,
and it took considerable cogitation to
elucidate the mystery. The explana.
ton was simply that few days before,
he had purchased paper from a boy
who happened not to have change
liking one cent, for the nickel ten
dered. My friend had laughingly said
that the odd penny would stand for
another paper some day and had then
of course, promptly for gotten the incl
dent. The small boy hadn't. however.
Sufficiently astonishing in these de-
generate days; don't you think so?
