fort from religion, whatever may have
been its attitude toward the latter in
times of prosperity. This is a high
tribute to the church. and one which
she should be jealous to merit increas-
ingly.
The wise prophet lifted the strain
from the anxious nerves by giving her
something to do. He set her TO helping
herself to the limit OF her ability. which
principle Is now accepted universally
as the only true philanthropy. Having
learned that she possessed IL small
of the Holy land. he bnde her borrow
many empty vessels from her neigh
bors. Curiously enough h was to
cance one debt by creating another.
The woman did not know why she was
to fill her house with empty vessels.
and the clamorous questions of an in
terested n~eighborhood had to remain
unanswered.
TIE MIRACLE WORKED.
Into the little dwelling. now crowded
with empty pots and pans. jugs. ladies'.
dishes and pitchers. the widow and her
boys We're commanded to shut them
selves. No curious eye should witness
the wonderful miracle: there are many
experiences in life too sacred for the
multitude to behold. Taking up her
flask of oil. according to the direction
vi T-lISili, tIt WIuoW DtSdl W pour,
as her sons brought the empty vessels
to her. The strain continued until the
last receptacle provided was filled. Had
she made ready more vessels she would
have got more oil: according to your
faith be it unto you" Tod giving
is measured only by our ability TO re-
ceive. In working with men. Jehovah
is seriously hampered by their failure
to provide sufficient vesseis-vessels of
preparation. of education. of knowl-
edge. of receptivity. of clean habits. of
eager desire.
Pour forth the oil. pour boldly forth.
1t will not fail until
Thou failest vessels to provide,
Which it may freely fill.
Dig channels for the streams of love
Where they may broadly run;
And love has Overlooking streams
To fill them everyone.
But if at any time thou cease
Such channels to provide,
The very springs of love for thee
VIII soon be parched and dried.
For we must share. if we would keep.
That good thing from above;
CeaSing TO give. we cease to have,
n. c. Trench.
The oil so miraculously provided
paid the Widows debt, and relieved her
immediate necessities. But 1t did
more; it insured the future
prosperity of the widow and
her sons. The welfare of the
boys was more important to the mother
than the lifting of her own burdens.
Therefore she was made to rejoice
at Gods over flowing goodness. He in
whom is the help of the needy, always
gives good measure. He is able to do
Exceedingly abundantly above all that
we can ask or think"

GOOD MANS HOUSE
TROUBLE.

This Hebrew. woman vas a good
woman. Her husband had peer one
lof the sons Of the prophets. But he
had given himself to the service of Je-
.hovah and %foregone opportunities to
make money. At his death his family
was In straits in which many another
preachers family has found itself;
without money, without ability to Gre
ate an income, n uncared for by
those whom the husband and father
had served. Debt, which is sometimes
a necessity, but always a menace and
usually a curse. hung like a shadow of
doom over the little family. The wolf
meal had been eaten: the last salable
stick had been sold, n now only a
single TASK Of oil remained.
The incident Is very closely related
to one Of the big questions facing ev-
cry religious denomination. that Of the
help of its INDECENT ministers and of
ministers widows and orphans. The
duty OF the church to act the part of
Elisha Is very clear. Failure to do SO
surely will merit the disfavor of Him
whose law is. Pure religion and unde-
hled before our God and Father
is this, to visit the fatherless and Wild
Iows in their affection. and to keep one
self u%nspotted from the world"
THE WISE WAY TO HELP.
More honorable than title bestowed
by royalty is the deserved reputation
OF being a helper of the needy. SO
Elisha was known. and to him the
widow turned In her extremity. Only
- parent who has faced poverty and the
suffering Of his or her children, can
understand the keeness of the anguish
,of this poor woman. She was at the
end Of her resources. The cruel debt
which had been her hourly nightmare.
Threatened to carry on into slavery her
two boys. her cOhfort her hope. her
JOY.
Instinctively her heart went out to
Elisha for help. because he was q good
imam and because he represented religi.

MOLINE MENTION

Warren Skinner, the 7-year-old son
of Mayor and Mrs. c. p Skinner. had
"a narrow escape from serious injury
while riding his pony for the first time
alone. The little FELLOW had been long
ing for the time he could venture out
on his prize. and after it had been led
down the Fifteenth street hill. he told
the boy who was leading the pony
that he could handle the animal alone
But the pony was full of life, and
when ii was free of the strap and
some children behind startled him. he
reared up and endorsed his rider with
n jolt. Warren's head struck the pave
ment with such force that he was rem
dered unconscious, and it was feared
for time that his skull might have
been injured. The fact that he was
wearing a heavy cap saved him from
more dangerous results.

JOHN L. SULLIVAN NOW
HARDLY ABLE TO MOVE ABOUT

John L. Sullivan, that Boston big
fellow, who was once the pride of the
American prize ring, shows the eff
fects Of Father Time upon that erst-
while magnificent physique. The big
man now finds il quite an effort to
move around. so much superfuous
weight does he carry, and as a result
his breathing is done with difficulty
Sullivan's hair is white, and his face
shows wrinkles, and he is growing
blind
\ more forceful example of what
continued booZe-fighting Will bring
person to than is furnished by the case
of John sullivan cannot easily be
imagined. Here is q man who was at
one time the finest specimen of physi-
cal manhood that this country ever
produced. With raven black hair, skin
like alabaster and the physique Of Il
Hercules, he was a handsome pic
tuFe. As Il pugilist he was when in
his prime and for years after that
the terror of the ring. He vanquish-
ed giants even without striking them.
for the expression of that piercing
eye of his had something about it that
seemed to strike terror to the hearts
of most of those who had the temerity
to face the Boston boy. He earned
money in countless thousands, so to
speak, and had he lived in halfway
reasonable manner he would have
saved Il million or more without diff
ficulty. But John L. Sullivan could
not save: he never knew the value of
money. He earned fortune after for
-
enriched many a human shark in his
time. for when in his cups he has al
ways been an easy mark. John l.. has
been broke time after time. and
innumerable friends have come to his
rescue and given him a fresh start.
He appears to be in demand for the
vaudeville stage. and when he makes
up his mind to keep sober for a time
he gets out on the road and does very
well financially and otherwise. He
must weigh $50 pounds and walks
along as though he had n big beer key
fastened on in front in lieu of a stom-
ach. He bears very slight resem-
blance to the John L. Sullivan who
toured the country less than 20 years
ago offering $1,000 to the man who
could stand before him for the brief
space of two rounds. Still, the old
warrior is easily recognized. \ man
not having seen John L. in score of
years would know him at once on
hearing one of those dreadful growls
such as he belches forth when his ire
is aroused or when he is doing the
rounds on one of his jamborees. Once
heard. the Sullivan roar is never for
gotten.

Thompson French. n Davenport eN-
pressman who was arrested in Moline
for moving piano in the city, was
fined 50 and costs by Magistrate Oh
son yesterday afternoon. The case
was continued from Saturday that its
merits might be more fully determin-
ed before any decision was rendered.
Mr.. French came to Moline at the so
licitation of the Schiller Piano COM
pany of Davenport to move a grand
piano from the depot to the home of
George II. Huntoon. Complaint was
entered that French was doing eX-
press work without license and he
was arrested by Officer Claire. French
contended that he was not regularly
an eXpressman in Moline and conse-
quently was not liable under the or
dinance on this question. He said
that he was under contract with the
Schiller company to do their piano
moving and that he did not solicit
work in Moline. He used the COM
pany's wagon and equipment in NOV
ing the piano. After carefully con-
sidering the case City Attorney Koh-
Ter and Magistrate Olson came to the
conclusion that French had violated
an ordinance and was therefore liable
to fine.

ise that he would enlarge portraits
if a certain number were sold, was
discharged from the charge of selling
unwholesome provisions by Justice
Hall yesterday afternoon. y large
number of expert witnesses were ex-
amined to prove whether or not alum
could be contained in baking powder
without proving injurious to health,
and whether a baking powder that
contained alum was pure or not. The
testimony failed to agree and the
state could not sustain its case. The
second charge, that of obtaining mon
ey under false pretenses, was dropped
by the prosecution and Cleveland goes
free OF the charges.

WOOD MAN WON
E. J. Kerwin Elected Probate
 Judge Oyer T. M. Phillips.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Feb. 5. The
 most intensely interesting cam paign in Jefferson county politics in recent years ended yesterday. Interest in the election was cen- tered on the race for county judge between E. J. Kerwin, a young man about 26 years of age, whose only political experience was one term in the lower house of the last legislature, and the present incumbent, T. M. Phil lips, who was defeated by 300 majority in favor of Kerwin. Kerwin is a Wood man and Phil lips is for Davis. The younger candidate made a remarkable campaign, forcing the withdraw al of one candidate from the race. J. H. Shelby defeated V. o. Alexander for county treasurer by about 800 votes, and indica- tions point to the election of Alex. Powell, s. s. Hunt and s. A. Miller, for representative, though MT. Miller and w. B. Sorrels, another candidate, are neck and neck in the stretch. Frank Stewart was elected con- stable and R. D. McGaughey, coroner. Those elected without opposition were: James Gould, sheriff; w. L. Goodwin, circuit clerk; H. K. Toney, state sena- tor; w. D. Jones, prosecuting at torney. The election passed off quietly and was marked by no disturbance.
