 WORLDS TEMPERANCE LESSON.
 Ephraim occupied 8 fertile territory stretching across the heart or Palesine from the Mediterranean to the Jordan. In the midst stood Samaria, the capital. on a commanding eminence. The tropi- cal luxuriahce of the valleys hung about 1t like a bacchanalian garland on the brow of the banqueter' Ana US exuberance was as effervescent; for It's glorious beauty was fading hower. Destruction was at hand.
 The capital, court and people were ensIaVed to drink. Under its subtle de- fusion they were in perfect ease. With the proverbiaI stupidity of the drunk ard, they felt perfectly safe, trusting in the mountain fastness of Samaria. With sense of justice blunted by the use of intoxlcants, and their basest passions infiamed they oppressed the poor and crushed the needy. With the unsuitable thirst which the use of al- coholic liquors always begets, they kept crying Bring. and let us drink" The Samaritan equivalent to our mod ern bacchanai, Here's health to you" (Amos vi, 1.)
 But the judgments of God are abroad. The Irresistible Assyrian, Shalmaneser. mighty and strong, is Gods instrument of wrath. He looks upon Samaria like a peculiarly tempting morseI; like 9 ripe fig in June, so rare and succulent. that one swallows it as soon as 1t Is in his hand; does not even think of lay ing 1t aside to preserve 1t or eat it at his leisure. His coming will be like a tempest of hail, a destroying storm a flood of waters; figures, peculiarly im- pressive In that latitude. where in an hour the dryest watercourse becomes an awful torrent. This prophecy had it's literal fulhllment 721 B. C., in the ninth year of Hoshea, king of Israel. The country was ravaged by the As- syrIans under Shalmaneser, and Israel deported into the cities of Assyria and Media. @ Kings xviii, 9-12)
 The prophet now turns from Israel to Judah. He contrasts the imperish- able crown and diadem. glorious and beautiful rewards of piety, on the brow of Judah, the righteous and faithful residue, with the fading gar land of voluptuous pleasure on the brow of drunken Ephraim. God shall help Judah's judges on the bench and her warriors at the, gate. This has been aptly called a 'Messianlc pendant to the foregoing picture of samaria's fall.
 But Judah, too. is not free from this degrading sin. Even her priests and prophets are Infected with 1t. And the people will not endure the prophets re- bukes. Listen to their drunken scof- ing: Does Isaiah presume to instruct us? Does he take us to be just wean- ed that he adopts such A childish x.yaU9 Here and there with no set order, and coming his words over, as If we were still in our primers.

The Teacher's Lantern.

The Teachers Lantern.
 The prophet Isaiah appears in a new role. He is par excellence the tem- perance reformer of his age. He is not incorporate in his attack upon intem- perance. Yet for moral earnestness he is not surpassed.
 Drunkenness Is usually insolent. It was ribald and abusive toward the prophet. But this did not deter him. He warded off the sheer with a terrible denunoiation.
 Canaan was the bridge between Syria and Egypt. The world-powers of that age coveted 1t. Possession of it was a strategic necessity. It could be used either as a thoroughfare or a buffer. But the Israelites might have held the country against all corners. Its noun tainous character was a natural de- fense. Horses and ehariots (the artiI- Iery of the ancients) could not be used there.
 But drunkenness was the real foe both to the northern and southern kingdoms. It led to their overthrow. They were overcome of wine" liter ally. wine-smitten. They were hit as with a hammer, stricken to the earth. Israel never rose again, and Judah a mere shadow of former grandeur. The luxurious refinement of the Kingdom of Israel and its crimson clothed nobles as described by Amos. makes one think of the palaces and villas of Pompeii as they have been brought to light by extensive exeava- tions-"summer and winter houses, ivory palaces. gardens. vineyards. fig orchards, oliveryards. melody of voils. beds of ivory, fragrant ontiments, and wine by the bowlful" Is the prophets inventory. This cultivation of aesthe- tic effects for eye and ear and palate is not in itself reprehensible. But a halt must be called when the bene- ticent Givsr Is forgotten in the greedy enjoyment of the gift. And the pro- portion of life must be maintained. To lose that proportion even in perfectly innocent things, is to be intempsrate Intemperance of any Kind tends to low. CT the moral tones. The Man becomes a Thing. This is in a sense the unfor- glvable sin. For the human is the temple of the Divine. and when the temple is ruined the Divine must make His exit.

ish, between the two men, whereupon Turner struck Duran in the face with his left hand and drew his six shooter with his right. striking Duran over the head with the weapon and dis charging the same. Turner then placed the revolver 10 Duran's side and fired it, inAicting a wound ranging from a point four inches below and to the left Of the heart and coming out directly at the spinal column. Turner then raised the weapon to level with Duran's shoulder and fired, the bullet merely crcasing the flesh at the base Of the neck in the rear. Duran re- ceived another bullet in the aTray, which entered behind the left ear and came out about two inches below the right ear, penetrating the base of the brain. Whether this wound was re- ceived while Duran was standing or after he had fallen to the floor, is a matter of conflict a. Co the testimony rendered at the hearing. Several reputable witnesses testified that Duran had a cigar in his right hand between the index and second finger, immediately before and at the time of his death, which occurred about ten minutes after the shooting.

Mikado's Army will Yanquish Russia's.

A special from Boston to the Los Angeles Examiner says:
 T confidently expect that the Rus sian army will prove as little match for the Japanese army as did the Rus sian navy for the Japanese navy said Rear Admiral Francis T Bowles, in re- viewing the last news of the situa ion for the Post today.
 "The result Of the last naval battle shows that Russia should sue for peace. " continued the admiral. Not that I believe that he wilh under stand; false reports have evidently been given out in St., Petersburg, and to give up now would expose all official Russia to the contempt of the Empire.
 Russia must go on She could probably obtain more favorable peace terms now than later, but her surren- der now would be likely to cause far reaching internal dis nsion in Russia herself.
 D"The immediate roSlIt of the virtual annihilation Of the NRussian fleet in Eastern waters is thes Freeing or about 10000 Japanese sols siers who would otherwise be forced iS remain in Japan to protect that c.slntry agains. q descent Of Russian stu ps.
 "The people Of Japan might now al most said to be as fres from danger Of a Russian invasion as1we are here. All the army that had betn intended as d reserve in Japan for defense can now be sent to Manchuria and Corea.
 within two weeks JaS1sn~s--Sf1 every soldier in her acmies on Corean soil, on which she wifi have an army as large as Russia berself can muster in Mancburia.
 But think you will find that the Russian soldiers will prove TO match for the little islanders. The Japanese are equipped with the most modern arms and are splendidly drilled. They have practiced gunnery and their superiority in this alone will be like adding a third to their forces. Then take the morale of the Japanese army. The war in South Africa proved the army made up of thinking soldiers to be immeasurabl ' superior to the auto matOn kind.
 "The Russian soldier can do nothing without his officers, while the Japa- nese, left to shift for himself, is able to exercise an officers functions.
 But the chief thing in favor of the Japanese army Is it's extreme mobility. Japanese soldiers are accustomed to proceed at a dog trot for hours at a time. At :he relief of Picking the ad vance Of the allies was held back be- cause the Russians led. Finally the Japanese commander complained that he could not hold his men back and the Russians drew aside to let the Japanese by.
 The little Japanese swept by the exhausted Russian soldiers on the road and by night were nearly twenty miles ahead. During the rest of the march they gained on an average about tif- teen miles a day on the RusSians-in Tact the soldiers of all other nations.
 "With great mobility it will be seen that the Japanese will be able to at tack two or three sections of the Rus sian army, and be able to prevent, in many cases, endorsements from reach ing the main army.
 'Thc Japanese army will bc able to cover twice as much ground as a Rus sian army. Port Arthur will be forced to surrender to the Japanese during the early part of the war"

'TwOuld Spoil This Story to Tell It
 in the Headlin

To use an eighteenth century phrase this is an 'o'er true tale" Having happened in a small Virginia town in the winter Of 1902, it is story very much of the present. Up to d short time ago Mrs. John F.. Harmon, of Melfa Station, Va, had no personal knowledge of the rare curative prop critics of Cham berlain's Cough Remedy. "Last January" she says, "my baby took dreadful cold and at one time I feared she would have pneu- monia, but one of my neighbors told me how this remedy had cured her little boy and l began giving it to my baby at once and it soon cured her. I heartily thank the manelacturers of Chamberlain's Cdugh iemedy for placing so great a curtlwithin my reach.

Z. L. Fulton, Reads Interesting
Paper Before Irrigrtion
c o n gress.

MI X. L. Fulton OF Reno, Nevada,
read an interesting paper before the
National Irrigation Congress at Ell
Paso, Texas, upon 1.-The advantages of
Nevada for the small farmer" which
was in part as follows:
No other State in the Union has
been so misunderstood or so misresre
sented as has Nevada. She took up
the burdens of Statehood unwlllingly at
the earnest solicitation of Abraham
Lincoln, who found his influence weak
with the senate during the last days of
the Civil War; and for generation she
was supposed to be little more than an
ash heap with few streaks of silver
through it. Later on the word went
out that her mines were exhausted and
many intelligent people were led to
paraphrlse the scriptures and ask:
"Can any good come out of Nevadap"
However, no thoughtful citizen Of
the Republic looks with Indifference
upon anything that may affect the for
tunes of my State. Our country is
bound together so strongly. and its
higher interests are so closely inter
woven that none can suffer decay with
oct sooner or later affecting all the
others. The different sections of the
Union 50 happily complement each
other in their natural resources that
the greater activity in any one part,
the greater prosperity in all.
II is one of the blessed things about
our beloved land that in every corner
1t has raw materials which can be de-
veloped without coming into ccmpeti-
ton with that Of any other part, and if
this congress serves no other purpose
than to make the west better known to
the east and south, make better friends
of our more distant neighbors, break
down sectional prejudices, if any re-
main, it will we'll serve its day.
The fact is that nothing necessary
to the upbuilding of great State was
omitted when Nevada was created.
The raw materials were abundantly be-
slowed, and only the lack Of human en-
deavor has prevented her from taking
a high place among her sisters. The
worst that can be said is that she lacks
population, and it must be apparent
that if that is fault it is chargeable
not to those who are here but to those
who fail to come. Perhaps the great
est draw back to Nevada's advance
ment is the fact that she is constantly
compared with California, which is in
comparable, instead Of with her neigh
bors to the east If Virginia or Mass
achusetts, or even Maine lay where
Nevada does, and the blossoming
plains Of the Golden State were reach
ed only after traversing their territories
they would suffer by contrast far more
than they do now, when surrounded by
States of like condition.
The indefinable charm which covers
all 1.-The Land Of Little Rain extends
over Nevada, with its sunny skies, its
beautiful sunsets, its violet-tinted hills
and its rush of sudden storm. Within
her borders lies some of the richest
land upon the globe and where it can
be reached by an adequate supply Of
water the crops are never failing, the
the quality the finest and the yield far
greater than that of rainy States. Like
