Iesus and the Sabbath.
Matthew II: 1-13.

-: 12.)
The Criticism of the Pharisees.-
1t was a field of grain, through
which Jesus was walking with his
disciples, and his disciples plucked
the ears and ate, as they walked
along. Now rabbinical tradition had
thrown around the Sabbath a multi
tidue of burdensome and trivial
restrictions, and in plucking the ears
of grain, rubbing them with their
hands, and eating them, as they walk
ed along, the disciples had commit
ted an infraction of these rabbinical
regulations. The Pharisees thereup-
on eagerly seized upon this as Il
ground of criticism, hoping thereby
to discredit Jesus who had allowed
his disciples to do this without re-
buke on his part.
Things Allowable on the Sabbath.
In answer to the criticism of the
Pharisees Jesus threw some light
upon what was allowable on the
Sabbath. He would not rebuke his
disciples, but he called the attention
of their critics to what David had
done under the stress of hunger and
to the work done in the temple by
the priests on the Sabbath day. Hay
ing cited these as illustrations of
what is allowable ON the Sabbath,
Jesus showed that the Pharisees
themselves had sinned, for in their
criticism of the disciples who were
innocent both as to act and inten-
ton of any Sabbath dissertation, they
had shown a conspicuous lack Of
the spirit of gentleness and mercy,
which is one of Gods chief require
ments.
- The True Principles of Sabbath
Observance.-Jesus in his teaching
about the Sabbath and in his own
personal example emphasized broad
principles, lot petty details. He
showed first and always that the
Sabbath was Intended for worship
and for rest. Works of necessity
were never prohibited by our Master.
and works of mercy were specifically
enioined.
A Concrete Ilustration.-A prac-
teal demonstration of Jesus views
upon the right observance of the
Sabbath was given in the synagogue,
where there was a man with a with
cred hand. Here was a clear case
of human need. Eagerly did his
enemies watch to see if Jesus would
exercise his healing power. Indeed
they questioned him, saving: "Is it
lawful to heal on the Sabbath2"
Jesus answer to this question was
in the nature of a parable, unan-
swerable in its logic. A sheep that
had fallen into a pit on the Sabbath
day would certainly be rescued. How
much more then should a sick man
be healed on the Sabbath day? And
while they wrestled with this ire
sistible logic, Jesus healed the with

A Dead Letter and a Lively One.

The world is never tired of anec-
dotes which bring out the play Of
fancy and humor in the mind of
Henry Ward Beecher. The great
preacher had the faculty of extracting
amusement for himself and others
from the most commonplace occur
rences. The postmaster of Brooklyn
informed him that one Of his letters
had been returned from the dead-let-
ter office, and this is the way the af-
fair struck Beecher:
October %, 1880.
Colonel McLeer:
Dear Sir-Your notice that letter
of mine was dead and subject to my
order is before me.
We must all die! And though the
premature decease Of my poor letter
should excite proper sympathy land

tanned under the affection.
What was the date of it's death? OF
what did 1t die? Had it in it's last
hours proper attention and such con-
ISOLATION as BELTS the melancholy &C.
casion? Did it have any effects?

mine are sick-dangerously sick? IL

WOMEN AND THEIR CASH.
No Two Have Same Method of CARRYING
Money or VaIuables.

Money or Vaiuables.
OF half dozen Washington women
to be found any day in a street car
probab bly, no two adopt the same means
of caring for their cash. "Women
have almost as many ways of carry
ing their money about with them as
they have changes of the heart" said a
local detective.
''The most common place for a wom-
an to carry greenbacks is in her stock
ings. Since the days when Ewes
daughters began to wear this article
of dress it has been a favorite safe
deposit vault. 1t is safe to say that
three out of every ten shoppers in a
department store will have little roll
of money tucked away in her stocking.
and when she decides to make a large
purchase she will seek a secluded spot
and dive down for the money.
when woman is calling she usu.
ally carries little change in her card
case, especially if she is obliged to ride
on the street cars. If she is travelling
she wears a tiny chamois bag about
her neck for the purpose OF guard
ing her money and jewels.
The glove is favorite place for car
rying money, especially Sunday, when
the hands are busy carrying the pray
er book and the train for a Sunday-go-
connecting gown. The little space be-
tween the glove and the palm holds
just enough for the offering and car
fare. The school girl carries her
change wrapped up in the corner of
her handkerchief There it remains
until noontime, or recess, when she
unties the knot and buys her lunch,
candy, chewing gum or lead pencil.
"Now that the sleeves resemble
nothing so much as a good-sized satch-
ell. they are used for carrying money
tied up in handkerchiefs. The full
front shirt waist is convenient hid
ing place for money and other femin-
inc belongings. A petticoat pocket is

impossible thing to find, and would as
soon think Of having the garment
made without a band as without

Many girls wear little finger purses
and tiny silver bags suspended from
chains to carry their change. A brace
let purse of leather or silver is worn
by the fad-loving maiden; but no one
would ever suspect that there was
money in it. Perhaps the girl who
carries her car fare in her mouth Is
the least common of all, but she ex

Crook claimed that Mr. Humphreys, be-

right to advise his counsel in court. ct
was part of the evidence in the case
that Humphreys acted for Brewster. who
is his brother-in-law, in making the
tender of $1,000 mentioned in the court

in court to justify his conduct for him

A FAIR EXCHANGE.

Large sums of money are no
doubt realized from simple spec
ulation, but the great fortunes
are derived from legitimate and
honest business-where the goods
furnished are worth the price
they bring. Certain famous bust
ness men have accumulated their
millions wholly in this way.
Prompt and faithful in every
contract or engagement they en-
JOY the confidence of the public
and command a class of trade
that is refused to unstable or
tricky competitors. In the long
run it does not pay to cheat or
deceive others. A humbug NAV
be advertised with a noise like
the blowing of a thousand trum-
pets, but it is soon detected and
exposed. The manufacturers of

MACON OUT
A THOUSAND
Fee Reduced and Justice
GaIbraith Objects
to Any Fee.

By majority decision the Supreme
| Court declares, in the matter of the
guardianship of Rebecca Panee Hume
ku. a spendthrift, the law as follows:
"a guardian who is an attorney at
| law may, in a proper case, be allowed
extra compensation for professional
| services rendered for the benefit of the
ward.
Under the circumstances of this
case a fee of $3.50 held excessive and
$3.50 allowed as a reasonable fee"
Chief Justice Frear and Justice Perry
sign the opinion, which is written by
the latter. e. M. Watson, as next
friend, appeared for the ward, and J.
A. Magoon in person. Magoon was al
lowed fee of $3.50 as bis own attorney
in resisting petition by Mrs. Humeku
to terminate his guardianship of her.
The allowance of this fee by Judge
Gear was sought by the ward to be set
aside, on the grounds that Magoon's
contest was in his own personal inter-
est and that the fee was excessive.
The majority opinion deals with the
first ground thus:
CAS- we understand the argument for
the ward, it is not contended that extra
compensation may not in any case be
allowed a guardian who is an attorney,
for legal services rendered. Elsewhere
the decisions on the subject are not
IN, hi he
come the established practice to allow
such compensation in proper cases. See
In re Estate of Kalua Kapukini, IA
Haw- 204; Magoon VS.. Brash ct al, IL |
IIaw. 204, and also In re Estate of |
Hiram Mail1ai, Haw 522. In the case
at bar, Magoon's appearance and his |
resistance of the application We're for |
the benefit of the ward; it was the |
guardians duty, under the circum- |
stancs of the case, to appear and de- |
lend. Upon the record we find no rea-
son for holding that the resistance Of
cred was solely in the personal interest
IF Mr.. Magoon.''
On the question of whether the fee
vas excessive, the opinion goes into
PARTICULARS of the services rendered. |

d by the decision of Judge De Bolt III
flowing Thomas Fitch, by consent OF
he ward in court, a fee of $3.50 for
ttacking the guardianship. In cutting
own the fee to $3.50 and remanding the
ase to the Circuit Judge for further
Proceedings, the majority says:
In any event, this court is not
ound by the standard of measurement
dopted by the Circuit Judge. It may
e added that no more can be allowed
D Mr.. Magoon than the latter as guar
ian would have been, under all of the |
circumstances of the case, justified iii
aging if he had employed other doun-
FL; and in the latter event acting, as
e was, in fiduciary capacity, he
