DIR. TALMAGE'S SERMON.
sv THE REV. FRANK DE WITT rALMAeE. D. Q.

Los Angeles. Cal, January 2.-ln this exposition of an .unwriten sermon now given to the world as sacred fillal duty. the preacher shows the importance of action as the criterion of a true and practical Christian life. The text Is Pro- verbs vi IS, He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers"
 This is the last text and last sermonic caption my father ever wrote. When I was summoned to washington during his mortal illness found upon his study desk plain sheet of paper, placed there with these nineteen words upon 1t, just as he always wrote down his theme and text before he started his sermon. That brief memorandum proved to me that had he not been quickly summoned away by the messenger of death the next sermon he proposed to have written would have been upon the Language of action." There were no indications of the manner in which he intended to treat the topic, but know that the subject had been much in his mind and that he had been impressed by the mischief that is often done with out the utterance of word. I wish we could have had that sermon, for the warnings he would have uttered need to be spoken. I have therefore thought It a filial duty to fulfill, as far as l am able the intention my father was prevented carrying out
 All language Is not spoken by the lip. few months ago I had this truth em- phasized in a striking way. I was visit- ing in the east. The firstnight while there my friend came to me and said, "I want you to go and hear what con- slider the finest orchestral playing in the United States" "Oh, mo- I answered, T cannot go. I am Jagged out from travel and work. Besides I am going to have a hard day of preaching tomorrow, and must stay home and rest up for 1t" But you must go,' said my friend. "I not only want you to hear the sweet est of music, but I want you to sit in front of MT. So-and-so, the leader, and watch the expressiveness of his actions while leading his orchestra. If you ear was as deaf as that of a Ludwig Bee thoven, who could not hear the loudest note sounded in his 'kreutzer Sonata or in his Battle Symphony yet could tell what the musicians were playing by watching their leaders gestures"

Mans Responsibility.

''Oh" says the candidate for office, "I am an honest man. I never let dollar stick to my hands which did not honestly belong to me never spoke an untruth in my life" Are you honest, my brother? How about that s10.00o subscription which you made for campaign purposes? How about that other $50,0OO donated by your party friends? Are all those moneys in- tended for circulars and speakers and le- gtimate campaign expenses? If they are you are honest If you expect to keep your lips sealed and have your lieutenants bribe the voters at the polls you are dis honest. Your Language of action" proves it. "Oh." says the merchant, 'T am an honest man. No customer ever heard me break my word" Are you honest, my brother? Do you forbid your clerks to make wrong statemtnts in reference to your goods? Do you see that your ad- vestising agents print within the right limit short of exaggeration? If you do you are honest. you are dishonest If you allow other lips to fasify in your name. That conspiracy makes you falsifier too. "Oh," says the capitalist. "I am an hon. est man. I am not responsible for what my agent does. If he rents my house for illegitimate purposes his good name Is tar- nished not mine" Yes, my capitalistic friend. you are responsible for what your agent does. The same dogs that licked Jezebel's blood licked Ahab's blood. Sin of allowing others to do crime in our name may be just as condemnabie as though we committed the crime with our own hands. Your Language of action" proves it.

WIN $ COMING BRINGING wCATARRH.

Every Catarrh sufferer dreads | breath of the ice-king this mise the disgusting symptoms return. throat can be kept clear of mucous and splitting. Catarrh is nuisance and source of annoyance, not only to the one who has 1t, but everybody else. The thick, yellow discharge from the head produces a feeling of personal defilenent, and the odor of the breath is almost into1erable.
 q The catarrhal poison brings on stomach troubles and affects the Kid neys and Bladder. It attacks the soft bones and tissues of the head and throat, causing total or partial deafness, the loss of smell, and giv- ing to the voice a rasping, nasal twang. No part of the body is secure from it's ravages. Catarrh makes you sick all over, for 1t is dis ease of the blood, and circulates all through the system, and for this reason, sprays, washes, inhalers, powders and salves have proven failures.
 The way to cure Catarrh thor ough1y and permanently is to cleanse the blood of the unhealthy secretions that keep the membranes of the body infamed, and nothing does this so surely and promptly as s. s. s. As long as the blood is poisoned with Catarrhal matter the discharge of 1 of the miserable disease will continu

Kendrick' output of iruit and
produce for the past

season
The Gazette reporter had quite a
long and interesting conversation will,
u. T Bsrnum, fruit and produce deal :
er, III regard to the past seasons IS
business.
Mr.. Barnum has been identified
with the fruit business at this point
since the cold storage was built il. the
fall Of 1901 and is we'll qualified to
furnish correct statements. Mr.. Bar
mum is quoted as follows: "The fruit.
produce business of Kendrick and
vicinity has been, in the main part.
satisfactory for both grower and ship
per. A considerable portion of fruit
which should have been shipped from
this point has been hauled to Troy Oh
account of the bad condition of roads
into Kendrick. However the grower
has obtained fair price for his fruit
at this point, and the quantity of
business done has. made it profitable
for the shipper.
The shipments from this point In
the past season have approxiinated
800 boxes of cherries, 5000 boxes of
pears, 900 crates green prunes, q ,00o
boxes of apples, l25, 900 pounds dried
prunes, and 10000 los beans. making
total of &c car loads, with 3 total
value of $26, ,945 paid to the farmers for
their fruit. Owing to the impassaLle
condition Of the roads no potatoes
have been marketed thus far.
Added to this AMOUNT, Mr.. Barnum
has shipped the following since the
first of January, from Kendrick, 4
car loads Of apples, 2 car loads Of
prunes; from Troy, cars Of apples;
from Joel, car OF apples; Genesee 2
cars of apples; Peck, mixed car of
cabbage and still has for shipment, 3
cars OF potatose, 2 cars each of beans
and apples, which will complete the
seasons shipment"
The outlook tor the coming season
is very fiattering. Cherries and small
fruits will be marketed in greater
quantities, also the later fall fruits will
be handled more systematically.
Since Mr.. Barnun has entered the
field on his own account he has ad-
opted the plan, never before practice d
at this point, of furnishing a market
for everything that farmer can pro-
duce. Heretofore farmer who raised
diversified crop has besn unable to
find market for his products, aud
has had to feed it to his stock, or
allow it to rot on the farm. This new
departure of buying everything a
farmer can raise, not only encourages
the farmer to utalize all of his la nd to
the best advantage, but also brings
kendrick into line as distributing
point for this line of goods.

THREE ZONES IN ONE HOUR
Two Known Regions Where That
Many Temperatures Como Very
Close Together.

Only two places exist on this globe
where one can pass through three
zones OF temperature-the tropical,
subtropical and temperate-within an
hours time Hawaii is one Of these
places and Darjeeling, in northeastern
India, Is another. In both these places.
says geographical journal, the trick
is done by climbing up the nigh noun
tains. In Hawaii the traveller starts
with the warm breath OF the Pacific
tanning him amid the smell Of palm
trees. He passes by great clusters OF
tropical fruit and as he mounts the
trees change, until he is in the kind
of scenery that may be found in the
southern United States. Still he
climbs, and soon he notices that it is
much cooler and that the character OF
the scene has changed to one that re-
minds him OF the temperate zone. with
fields in which potatoes and other
northern vegetables are growing.
In Darjeeling the change Is still
more wonderful The entrance to the
tableland on which the little mountain
city stands Is through a dark, somber
tropical pass, full of mighty palms and
hung with orchids and other jungle
growth After awhile the trees change
from palms to the wonderful tree ferns.
These alternate with banana trees, un-
til, after some more climbing. forests
are reached of magnolias and similar
trees. Through these magnolias the
way leads ever up. and all at once.
over an open pass there come into
view immense thickets Of Himalayan
rhododendrons and the evergreen OF
nrs and cedars. and beyond stand the
white, grim. snowclad. frozen noun
tain peaks like arctic icebergs on land.
In less than two hours traveller can
ascend from orchids through jungles TO
.ea plantations and thence to q climate
of northern roses and viOlets.
