alton and three strong services were
held. The morning services was
led by Rev. Mr.. Norvell, president
of the association, who preached on
Prayer. The Henry sisters led a mag
nificent song service. In the after
noon at 2:30 Rev. DR.. Carradine, the
evangelist, gave a fine exposition of
the scriptures, founded on the text
taken from the 18th Psalm. In the
evening he also preached a strong
sermon on Obedience, showing the
necessity OF obeyine God and the
awful calamities Detailing those who
follow the opposite path,
Sunday was a most impressive
day. and it opened with a family
worship at 8 O'Clock. AT 1890 Rev.
Norvell preached a convincing SER
mon on the 1.-Two works of Grace.n
In the afternoon a large congregation
assembled In the tent and listened
to DIR. Carradine, whose sermon was
on the Second Work of Grace" or
the Baptism of the Holy Spirit at
Penticost. Many said that this was
the clearesJ exposition they had ever
heard of this epoch in the history
OF the church. In the evening DR..
Carradine preached on the ssOld
Man."in which he depicted the char
acter of the inboln sin with great
viviuness. at the conclusion of the
sermon many went forward to the
altar and gave themselves up to the
Lord.
The services on 1.-THE Fourth we're
held at the usual hours. The S
O'Clock family prayer circle was a
very devout meeting, and the pray
ers were earnest. The 10: 30 service
brought a fair crowd an the sermon
was delivered by Rev. = VI. Islnc.of
Willow Lake. At the $50 meeting
DR.. Carradine preached IA sermon
that was full OF instruction to all
present. 1t was especially adapted
to.help those in the experience of
holiness of heart to ret lin the bles-
sing, and also to grow in grace. In
the evening DR.. Carradine delivered
a sermon on the words, sit is we'll

that many. words..--in.. the. scripture
are so misused and -pervelted as to
lose their real meaning, and ..among

JAPANESE JoTTINGs.

Japan is everywhere rich in water
power. Consequently, even in small
country towns. there are electric lights
and local telephone lines.
1t is now accounted a disgrace for
any Japanese of any class to retain
any articles of gold. All have been sent
to the treasury to be converted into
coin for tile emperor.
Among the ancient treasures of ia
pan which the mikado has poured
into the military chest are gold coins
issued three centuries Ago.. They are
of large size and of almost pure metal
and worth much more than their in
trinsic value, Of course.

Sickness as its deadly temperance
In certain sections of the state has been
followed by fatal results to human be-
ings and to stock. No one has ever
discovered the cause of the malady
from which death relieves the victim
after such physical agony as almost
%deprives the human species of the DOW
er of speech, and dumb brutes express
their sufferings by frenzied search for
water to cool the thirst which con
sumes them. Once by a stream they
plunge or fall into it and quickly drink
themselves to death.
The fatal sickness is known to a lin
tied extent in several sections of the
state, but exists principally heal Spar
ia, in White county. 1t is contracted
through drinking the milk Of the cows
that have eaten a certain weed known
as the milk sick weed" which looks
somewhat Ike clover and grows thics:y
on the infested land. But what consti-
tutes the poison in the weed is no more
determined today than it was when
first located by the keen witted, ma
ture wise lnou%ntaineers, who have been
Its chief victims. 1t has been ascribed
at various times to minerals whose
poison is absorbed in the roots of the
milk sick" plant, to a vapor from
some fungous growth and to the action
of the dew producing, in connection
with the life of the plant, a certain
poisonous acid. But all of these the
cries have failed under tests applied
by practical science. On the largest in
fected section known to exist in the
limits of the state, Milk Sick noun
tain" in White county, no mineral
wha tever exists. Cattle which ate the
milk sick weed" after the dew had
dried died in agony just as those who
ate it when the dew was fresh and
sparkling. ana the strictest search fail

A GOOD DEED REWARDED.

"Chestnutsl No" returned Ralph Moore, look
ing carelessly down on the upturned face, whose
large brown eyes, Swallowed by tangled curls of
faxen hair, were appealing pitifuly to his own
'What do | want of chestnuts?"

treasured by the rough kindness of his tone. NO
body seems to care for them and"
She fairly burst into tears, and Moore, who had
been the point of brushing carelessly past her,
stopped instinctively.

Indeed, sir, we are sobbed the child; mother

Nay. little one, don't cry" said Ralph, smooth

nuts but here's quarter for you, if it will do you

He did not stay to hear the delightful thanks
of the child poured out through rainbow, of smiles
and tears, but strobe OH his way, muttering be-
tween his teeth:
''That cuts off my supply of cigars for the next
twenty-four hours | don't care though for the

enough to help every poor creature out of the slough
of despond."
While Ralph Moore indulging in these very
natural reflections the dark-orbed little damsel
whom he had comforted was dashing down the street
with rapid footsteps, utterly regardless of the bas-
ket of unsold nuts that still dangled upon her arm.
Down an obscure alley she darted and up a wood
en- staircase to room where pale, neat-looking
woman was sewing as busily as if the breath of
life depended upon every stitch and two little ones

If Ralph Moore could only have the rap

that poverty-stricken home he would have grudged
still less his privation of cigars.
Years came and went. The little chestnut girl
passed entirely out of Ralph's memory, but Mary

REsSIE'S BUTTONS.

Bessie was learning to on buttons. Her
mother and marked the places where they were to
90 and Bessie was sitting beside the open window
sewing them on her new dress. They were pretty
white pearl with little stars cut on every one Bes-
sic lust loved to look at them they lay arranged
in row on the window-sl shining in the sun
shine.
Eve sewed on three" said Bessie; and she
reached out her hand for the fourth, when IN some
way she knocked six of them out of the window
Dear me-" she said, "now | shall have to go
out and pick them up. / hope I'll find them all I"
So she took off her thimble, laid the dress across
chair and ran out.
Somebody was there before her and had picked
them up, every one Mr.. Toots, the big. snow
white rooster, was standing under the window, and
the last button disappearing within his beak
when Bessie came around the corner
Now Bessie was very fond of Mr.. Toots. de
was quite tame, and whenever she caught him she
would lay her cheek against his smooth neck and
hug him. Whenever he saw her he would come up
on the doorstep, 'on purpose to be hugged," Bessie
said
But now, when Bessie saw what he had done, she
turned and ran into the house as fast she could.
She was almost crying. 'HOh mamma, mamma"
she said "Mr. Toots has eaten six of Rly buttons,
ind he viii die"

AUNT BusY,s MAY GREETING.

Dear Nieces and Nephews:
Again we hail sweet May! The dear Blessed
Mothers month, when the sun shines brightly the
trees are clothed with green when all the world
seeems gay.
May is the month of Mary! No hymns seem so
beautiful as the sweet May carols; no flowers seem
so sweet as the tender, modest May blossoms
A few years ago Aunt Busy proposed that the
neces and nephews each have little shrine to the
Blessed Mother during May. She remembers hear
ing from many of her dear little people about how
they followed her suggestion. Aunt Busy would
like very much If the plan could be carried
out this May. All that is required is little statue
or picture of Our Blessed Mother and vase of
flowers OF any kind, placed before the picture Then
the dear children must say their prayers before the
little shrine and say many extra Hail Marys dur
ing the month.
Aunt Busy thinks this splendid plan. particu-
larry for the little folks who live where there is no
church
Children are very and dear to the
Blessed Virgin, for remember how she loved her
Son, from the time he was dear, laughing baby
boy until he died Mount Calvary.
The lovellest pictures ever painted are those
of the Blessed Mother Fair. divinely calm, and
nesting to her heart her own little child
devout Catholic writer says: Every little
flower placed on Narys altar, by even the tiny
hands of very little child, is a sweet odor of the
love of Jesus, offered TO him because of the tender,
inefable love his mother inspires"
Aunt Busy wants the dear children TO place
flowers on their Blessed Ladys altar and give their
hearts with the flowers Remember the pretty May
hymn:
"Then Mary. our Queen and our Mother,
Accept the hearts we bring;
And all through lifes stormiest weather,
Grant that to thee we may cling"
The stormy days will come into your lives, dear
children, no matter how fair and lovely the happy
days of the present time and never forget the sweet
Mother of God, who will be always tender and low
ing in storm or sunshine. She will lead you all to
the Savior and leave you at his feet
Love the Mother OF God all your lives, trust her
with your trials and little failures. Always think
fondly of Heaven far away, where dwells with
saints and angels, the lovely Queen of May
Lovingly yours, dear children
