John wesIey,s Ideas on 4AIIIna.v

Jonn "esleyS lucas on AllIH9''
1t is pretty generally known that
John Wesley, during his unparalleled
apostolate Of half a century, travelled
$50 900 miles and preached 10000 ser.
mons, but comparatively few are
aware of the prodlglous amount Of lit
erary work he managed to accomplish.
His most curious and eccentric book
was entitled Primitive Physic; OF, An
Easy and Natural Method Of Curing
Most Diseases" II was published in
London by Barr & Co. in the year
174S.
The preface is characteristic Of the
author. When man came first out Of
the hands of the Creator there was
no place for physic or the art of heal.
ing. But when man rebelled against
the Sovereign Of heaven and earth the
incorruptible frame put on corruption
and the immortal put on immortality"

drowned in the louder din of his pas
sion. He had not yet reached a point
where, with calm selfishness he could
voice the brutal aphorism of moral
and physical desperadoes: "All is
fair in love and war" He was eager
to clear himself of self-accused dis
loyalty to John Burt, and he clutched
at any defense which would serve as
possible justification or extenuation.
John Burt was his friend, the found.
er of his fortunes; the loyal, trustful
comrade to whom he owed all he was
or could hope to be. Blake knew this,
and yet, with the truth confronting
him and pleading for justice, the So
phistic arguments and evasions of a
vaulting passion came readily to his
lips.
How do l know John loves her?"
he pleaded. "He has not told me SO.
He has sent her no word. He could
have done so easy enough She does
not know if he be dead or alive. Is
that the way for a lover to act? If
John has lost her it is his own fault.
Perhaps he gave her up long ago
Honestly, believe his hate for Nor.
ris is more to him than his affection
for Jessie Garden"
Thus quibbled James Blake. Awak
ened love loosens a million eloquent
tongues to plead for self, and palsies
the voice which should speak for 9th
ers. The love of man for woman
is the sublimation of his egoism; his
unconscious exaltation of desire.

In all the vast world only two per

Burt lived--James Blake and Peter
Burt.
John Burt owned stock in thou
sands of miles of railroads. He was
an investor in other great enterprises
aud activities. An army of men
worked under his direction, and the
stock market rose and fell at the pres
sure of his unseen hand. For years
he had rebelled at the fate which had
made him a recmse, which denied
him the fellowship and confidence Of
his peers. He felt a keen Joy over
the knowledge that the day was APP
preaching when he could assume his
true place In the world of vast affairs,
But of earth's countless millions
there was one above all others to
whom he wished to tell his secret

he could look into Jessie Gardens

Estimates Of the wheat crop put the
total yield Of this country at 53S ,OO0,-

reduction from the yield Of last year
OF about 100000 600 bushels, while the
figures are more than 200,000,000 be-

100000 below those Of 1902. II should
be noted. however, that they come
pretty close to those of 1900 and 1899,
being slightly in excess Of the one
and slightly below the other, and that
only twice before 1899 did the crop
amount to as much as 6O0,00O,G eco

But again, while this is true, It is
to be noted also that there is not a

reports indicate that there is a short
crop in many countries. Canada has
been hit Like the United States, the
estimates in Manitoba being reduced
by one-half. We learn also from a
general review in the London Econo.
mist that the English crop will be
much below the average, and that of
the entire United Kingdom a meager
one. In France there will be 4 reduc-
ton of about 49, per cent from the
yield of last year. Austria Hungary,
Spain, Italy, Roumania and Russia are
all sufferers. Damage by drought has
seriously affected the prospects in the
Argentine, and India seems to- fur
nish the only marked exception to the
generally discouraging returns. Her
crop Of last spring was 352,000,00O
bushels, the largest in her history,
and The Economist says: "If wanted
in Europe, India, accordingly, has an
enormous surplus, which would be at
tracted by a moderate advance I'm the
price"
This surplus, however, is not large
enough to make up the deficit in other
countries, and It is certain that the
worlds crop VIII be the smallest pro-
duced in recent years. At the same
time this country is fortunate in the
the prospect of large yield of Indian
corn. The estimate is 2,40O,OOO,OOO
bushels, which would give crop far
above the average and second only to
that of 1902.

MR. ROOSEVELT ACCEPTS.

III HE Presidents address in re-
sponse to the official notification
OF his nomination Is thoroughly
characteristic. His friends viii regard
1t as a frank and manly statement Of
the work Of the party including the
accomplishments of his administration
while his enemies win discover In It a
note Of self-laudation.
Yet however the personal element
in 1t may be regarded, the address is a
rather ful and forceful presentation Of
the claims Of the Republican party for
continued support. For the party has
had a great past, and It seems to pre-
sent the only policies that can be re-
garded as sound and stable. It's OPP
ponent has struggled with opposing
policies and finally has come to point
where It is thought best to keep silent
on questions which until recently have
been great national issues, and IL Il
goes again TO defeat this time it will
be credited to cowardice.
This array OF accomplishments in the
history OF the Republican party during
the last eight years is striking, and
without doubt the opinion Of the future
viii approve most that has been done
And doubtless the public win reason
that inasmuch as the future is to be
judged by the past, the Republican
party alone can be trusted.
There has been one scandal Of con-
siderable proportions, and indirectly
the President refers to this, but in the
way Of a challenge. He says: "Never
has the administration Of the govern
ment been on a cleaner and a higher
level. never has the public work OF the
nation been done more honestly and
efficiently" Doubtless it would have
been unnecessary to say even that had
there been in the Cabinet a different
Postmaster-Gen This unequivocal
declaration Of the President can be
challenged with greater prospect of
proof than any other he has made.
But it is true that the great Republi-
can party, like an individual has char
acter. and that has been of such ma
ture that during almost its entire ex-
istence it has been trusted by the peo-
pie. It's Paynes, and even it's Addickses
are mere temporary excrescences or
eruptions that viii pass with the pass
ing years. There is much that the
party has to do, and not the least Of its
duties and Of the duties OF its leaders
is TO make such painful manifestations
impossible. For with all of its glory
the old party is carrying several unne-
cessary burdens.

James Belt.
DO not try TO cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach: IL cannot be
cured in that manner The only way
in which this too common disease can
be cured is through a direct applica-
ton that will kill the bacilli of catarrh
and prevent their growth.
Hyomei is the only known method
Of treatment that accomplishes this.
II is the simplest, most pleasant. and
the only absolute cure for catarrh
that has ever been discovered.
Thousands of unsolicited testlmo-
malls have been received from the most
prominent men and women in the
country who have been cured by this
remarkable remedy. Ministers, bank
ers. lawyers. even eminent physicians
have given strong testimonials as to
the remarkable powers of Hyomei to
cure catarrh.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but Sl.O0. consisting of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei TO last
several weeks. This win effect n cure
In ordinary cases, but for chronic and
deep cases OF catarrh longer
use may be necessary. and then extra
bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for
soc. II is not alone the best CIT might
be called the only method of curing
catarrh, but IL is also the most
economical.

III HERE is one significant para
graph in Mr.. Roosevelts speech
of acceptance which we append:
"A party Is Of worth only in so far as
it promotes the national interest. and
every official high or low, can serve
his party best by rendering to the
people the best service Of which he is
capable"
If that Is true Of the nation it is true
Of the State and OF the municipality.
A party doesn't deserve the support of
honest men unless it is an honest
party; Of decent men unless It is de-
cent; Of men Of morals unless It Is
moral
And Of course every official can rem
der the best service to his party by
serving the people TO the limit OF his
capacity, And it follows that nobody
should be elected or appointed to office
who has not shown an inclination tc
measure up 10 this standard. rhes,
are the eternal verities which are a,
true from the lips OF Tom. Jones as
from the President.
Without stretching the application a
whit we are obliged to say that the
Presidents dictum condemns Addicks-
lsm calls for the resignation Of Payne
and admits the mistake in Mr.. Byrne's
latest appointment.
