The snrcnstfc Cabman.

The whip fiicking hero of this story had driven an trascible old fellow good three mile journey. When the fasas--elimbed stiffiy out and slowly pro duced big pecketbook cabby drew deep breath and prepared to be sarcas- tic. A watchful constable standing near prevented all thought of his re- lieying his feelings by the use of pie turesque terms.
 Cabby watched his fare make lengthy rentaI calculation of the dis tance he had been driven, select the exact legal fare, count it twice over and then proffer it to him, with an ex- pression on his face plainly indicative of Now, then, you dare dispute it and I'll take your number"
 But cabby didn't dispute it. Instead he promptly accepted it; but, slipping his hand into another pocket, he pro- duced a farthing, which he handed to the fare
 Whats this for?" demanded the old fellow.
 'One farden, currint coin of the rel lum, sir,' said cabby, gathering up his reins. T druv yer jest the exact dis tance represented by arf of that there shekel under the three mile you reck- oncd. I sin't got no arf farden about me but 1t don't matter. You cain keep the change. I ain't mean. Goodby, sir, and God bless you. Geeup, 'orse!'- London Standard

having lost Thursday, would have had two Thursdays in one week. IL mattered nothing on oIr voyage which course we took. but in the voyage of life it matters a great deal. They who take the star ill the east" as their guide in the journey of life, who fol low Christ. who arc led by him. have no lost day1. In this life they have in- finite delights and in the end e,ernal life.
 In which direction are you sailing? Are you going away from the haven of peace? Are you and I travelling away from God? Are we following the set ting sun" where we have our Host days" or are we leading toward the star of tLe east" where we shall have our found daysY' Are we sail ing from God at point where we shall crash upon the rocks of sin. or are we sailing toward the harbor of peace. where we shall meet all our dear ones with Christ?
 But perhaps, after all, the caption O. my sermon is q misleading one. Thers is truly no Host day in mans life. Every day is yet to be found day" All days will be found days at the judgment seat of Christ, where they shall testify for our eternal salvation or our eternal condemnation. May all our days be days which shall be bless ed by consecratlon to the service of the Master, and may this day be the best of all found days" for it is here and now deciding our destiny! Oh, for the golden sunrise of that millennial dawn, passed away!

Time Belongs to God.

Would God we might one and all fight relentlessly against these de stroyers of time." You cannot afford to give away what is not your own. Your time belongs not to you, but to another. "Go with me to concert this after noon," said one salesman to another who was employed in a large ware house. "I cannot go this afternoon" was the answer. My time is not my own; it belongs to another" "To whom?' "To my employer" The fol lowing Sabbath afternoon the same salesman said to the same clerk, Come and go riding with me this afternoon" "I cannot" said the other. My time is not my own; it belongs to another" ITO whom?' ITO God. who said, Re member the Sabbath day to keep it holy" Will you and I waste our pre- cious moments hereafter? Shall we not always feel that in reality time does not belong to us? It belongs. in the higher, nobler and purer sense. to them whom we are sent to serve and to the great God, who will demand at the Judgment an accounting for every mo- ment we frittcr away.
 This thought flashed upon me as l sat upon the deck of the steamship Alameda, trying to figure out how lost that day. If instead of following the setting sun I had been going to- ward the east I would not have lost a day, but gained an extra day.; if in- stead of going from New York to San Francisco and New Zealand had been travelling from London through the suez canal to Australia. instead of

This warning against the wasted min- utes of the early morning is far more necessary than some of us have here tofore supposed. When we waste the early minutes of the morning we waste the very best minutes of the whole day. The old proverb says: Beauty sleep is always taken before F o'clock at night. Every hour of sleep before midnight is worth two taken in bed after that time" Along exactly the same line of thought I say. Every hour of work done before or 10 o'clock tn the morning is worth at least two hours of work after 12 o'clock Doon" There is something about the ozone of the early atmosphere, some thing about the collaboration of the early morning, that arouses us and fires us and drives us on and clarifies our brains, so that we can accomplish at least double the work in one half hour then than in any half hour of the afternoon or eyening.

The New Hospital.

Those OF our readers who are them
selves sick. or who may have frIen.is
that are sick or injured, will be glad
to learn Of the recent completion OF
that splendid new Institution, The
Kessler Hospital & Sanltarium, at
Huntington, W. Va
This is the most conveniently locat-
cd Hospital 20 this section Of the
country, and as there is equipment
for treatment of all classes OF human
ailments, We take 1t that our citizens
viii be glad to avail themselves OF the
advantages offered.
The building is located about two
squares from the center OF Huntington,
II is built of concrete stones. Hlree
stories high. the complete length OF
the building being l6O feet, and the
width lOi feet There are accomo-
dations for $50 patients at one time
The operating room is said to be
one Of the most complete In the coun-
try. Electric treatment is given after
the most approved form, and be-
side this there are all sorts OF med
ieinll baths. The medical staff az
present numbers five well known
and there are already
nearly dozen trained nurses. While
the Hospital accepts emergency cases
and is prepared for them, the main
idea in It's building was To provide
for those chronic and long standing
cases Of sickness which are TO be
found in every community. The
charges, contrary to expectation, are
very moderate
Many OF our citizens have probab-
ly noticed this imposing building il
they have gone to Huntington re-
Gently. and had occasion 10 20 up
the main liue OF the Camden Inter
State Traction Co. 1t stands on a
slight prominence two squares West
OF the Cabell county court house, and
is a very imposing building. The
very fact that, although the Institu-
tiOn has been open but three months
and has had up 70 this time consid-
erably over 100 patients, shows that
it is meeting with marked favor.
