High Priced Soap.

The Glasgow Times says that
man recently travelled through Bar
rem county selling soap. He gave
a case of 100 cakes for So in cash,
and a promise that in a few days
he would call and bring you nice
carpet of 40 yards, a nice set OF
Chlnaware or a nice sideboard, and
the women bit as well as some OF
the men, and he took in lots of So,
and now it is assumed he is hunt
ing more suckers, for suckers will
bite. Last summer a man was
around selling cases of medicine of
various kinds, so you could be your

bills. $l2 was the price and many
were taken in by the stranger, and
the service of the doctor is still
needed.

the Moderate Drunkard.
Many fall victims to drink habi
Guarantees Superiority.

Many fall victims to drink habit,
not merely because they make
light of it's strength, but because
they make TOO mlch &c their own
powers. Men are generally cyclists
in some particular. They have
seen others try to extricate them
selves from these habits and fail,
but they are certain that their eff
forts would not be attended with
any such humiliating results. This
man may be weak enough 10 be-
come drunkard, but the confident
one is sure that HE is too strong
and too manly to ever allow him
self to be so enslaved. The mod
crate drunkard is almost certain
to have a profound contempt for
the immoderate one. A popular
inn-keeper ruined multitudes of
young men, not by urging them to
drink, but by telling them what
fine, strong fellows they were-too
strong to ever allow drink TO get
the better of them.

UNITED STATES,
AS A NATION.
HAS FORGOTTEN GOD
AND GONE INTO THE SALOON
BUSINESS.

Let it not be forgotten that our
nation is full partner in every
saloon and blind-tiger in the Unit
ed States. and our foreign posses
sions, having already received its
$1.l0 on every gallon of whiskey
before the seller gets it in His
house. besides its various license
fees ranging in price from 5000
down to $25. Now let it be re-
membered that God judges nations
as well as individuals. "The
wicked shalt DC turned into hell
and al the nations that forget
Cod Ps. 9:17.
The United States, as a nation,
has forgotten God and gone into
the saloon business. And herein
is it condemnation, for Gods Word
says: "Woe unto him that build
eth town with blood, or establish
eth a city by iniquity.' The
United States builds its cities and
towns in this way, by taking
revenue from traffic which is the
fruitful source of murder and
bloodshed. Holy writ says, "Woe
unto him that putteth the bottle
to his n Ell g h b or's lips The
United States does this by iegaliz-
ing the traffic and sharing in the
profits.

What Of Our Young Menu

The problem of young men in
their relation to the church is one
of the most serious and difficult
questions now confronting the re-
ligious world and the outlook from
the standpoint of the facts in the
case, is by no means encouraging.
The per cent. of young men who
attend church is small and decreas-
ing steadily all the time, the de-
crease amounting to eight per cent.
in the last nine years; so that the
present attendance is only about %
per cent. Does this suggest that
in a few years the church will be
depopulated so far as men are con-
cernedp Only few of the small
per cent. of young men who attend
church-some of them only occas-
ionally-belong to the church, and
where are the men to come from to
take the places of those who now
are members, but will soon pass
away9 There is something sadly
wrong somewhere, and the trouble
should be located and remedy APP
piled. But this has been said a
thousand times, and still the diff
Guilty exists.
That this state of things should
have come about during the period
in which there has been the great
est activity in things especially in
tended to interest young people and
get them attached to the church, is
remarkable and perplexing fact.

Baptists Propose to Educate a Ma
tive Ministry in FOREIGN Fields.

A proposed important innovation
was announced May IS, Cleveland,
c., G. the Baptist anniversary con-
vention which was held in that city.
1t is the purpose of the church to
raise an endowment fund of $780,
600 to be used in the education of a
native ministry in foreign mission
fields. The following official state
ment is made of the plan:
The American Baptist Mission
airy Union marked its ninetieth an
niversary by an advance step that
means a distant change in mission
cry policy. This transfers the en-
phasis from the evangelistic to the
educational phase of the work in
foreign lands and means not less at
tention to gospelizing heather ma
tions, but more to higher learning.
The fact is recognized that the first
stages of missionary effort are
passed, and foreign peoples cannot
be Christianized fully until native
ministry is raised up. This ques-
ton has been under discussion two
days by the Board of Managers,
who presented unanimously rec
ommendation To- the society that
the Missionary Union should enter
on campaign to raise $500, 900 for
a permanent endowment fund, to be
held invested in this country by the
Union in trust for its educational
work in the foreign field; That this
fund be completed within period
of five years and committee of
seven be appointed to have tie rails
ing of the endowment in charge.
The resolution was adopted.
This policy will affect the mission
airy work of the Baptists in all
Eastern countries, especially in
China, Japan and the Philippines.

Standard Oil Enterprise.

Men prominent in the National
City Bank, New York, including
James Stillman, William Rockefel-
Ter and other Standard Oil men,
have filed with the Comptroller of
the Currency an application for
permission to establish a national
bank on the Isthmus of Panama
within the zone under control of
the United States. Under the ex-
listing law no national bank can be
chartered for the canal zone, and
the application is merely to take
advantage of any opportunity
which b ay arise in future.

A Fine of $50.

A farmer driving along the road
near Brockville, Ontario, came upon
a deer which was being pursued by
two dogs. To escape the animals
the deer jumped into the farmers
sleigh. Being almost exhausted,
the farmer experienced no difficulty
in effecting it's capture, and to make
sure of his prize he cut its throat
with knife. Complaint was
promptly made to the authorities,
resulting in his being summoned
before a magistrate for a violation
Of the game laws. The deer cost
him fine of $52.-Richville IN.

NEW DITCH
 COMPANY An Important Enterprise Recently Launched.
WATER FOR MINING
The Company Is Backed by Local Capital and Will Benefit a
 Rich Mining Section.

A ditch company that will provide the miners of Hastings, Saunders. Derby, Little Derby, Cunningham and other creeks east of Nome with water, and which promises to be a great fac tor in opening up large area of gold bearing ground, was recently organ ized under the laws of Alaska
 It is the first ditch company organ ized under the laws of this district It is called the Northwestern Ditch Com pany, and it's officers are well known business and mining men of Nome. They are: President. A. Schneider; vice president. Leo Loewenherz; secre- tary, w. J. Rogers: treasurer, c. G. Cowden. The above, with A. C. Schow, also constitute the board of directors The capital stock of the company is $3O0, GOO. The new company has ac- quired the ditch known as the French ditch, the property of Mr. Schneider, but new ditch will be built from Os- born creek, with capacity of 2,00O miners inches. Work upon the new enterprise will be begun just as soon as he condition of the ground will war rant, and it will be completed by July p next. thus giving water available for mining purposes during the months of August and September. The ditch will be twelve feet wide at the top and nine feet at the bottom. It will start from point on Osborn creek, and will run thence to Saunders, Edna and { 1,,,a. Jn Cti iyNgr n. from Hastings creek toward Fort Davis, where it will serve the miners of Derby, Little Derby and Cunning. ham creeks It will have an elevation of i4S feet above sea level, and will thus furnish ample power for hydraulic purposes. A preliminary survey of the route was made last November by A. G Blake, C. E.
 A large ma jOrity of the owners O claims in the section named petitiCneC the promoters of the Northwestern Ditch Company to build the ditch, anC they have agreed to take all the water that can be furnished. The price named is reasonable. Mr. Schneider the proprietor of the French ditch, ha. the entire confidence of the miners. q. shown by his dealings with them since he constructed the ditch. The right O way for the proposed ditch was also given by the owners of claims free O charge.
 l The French ditch and the new one will cover all the ground between Hastings, Nome river, Osborn creek and the sea beach, one of the mos valuable miaing sections in Nome dis trict. as shown by recent developments
 The company expects by the close o the summer mining season to be able to pay interest on the capital invested in the enterprise. Stock will be sold but the incorporators, in any event will finance the enterprise.
