Keep the Law.

God is never a more loving Father than
when He insists on our keeping the law.
He is never kinder to us than when by
suffering even He brings us to obedience
to law. Even when He Furnishes III He is
still our Father. But this is a thing we
are slow to learn. As the Father of US all
He is concerned about US, and for our
spiritual, moral and physical health He
teaches Us the Commandments and insists
on their being kept. For, after all what
are the lawsg They are the lines along
which we are built. They are the condi-
tions of our being. They are the principles
of our life. Our Father who made US
holds up to US the laws Of our own nature,
so we must keep them, and be healthy,
happy and at peace. Ii we violate these

By the purchase of the Grassland
plant of the Atlas Coke Company of
Pittsburg, Pa, the III. G. Friek Coke
Company is believed to have secured a
complete corner in the coke market.
1t has been manifest for some time
that the underlying concern of the

Prick interests obtaining a dominating
grip ON the coke business, prices have
scared skyward.

AN ;'AuTo", IDYL.

The automobile. owner crawled
With haste into his car
And said good-by, for he was called
To travel fast and far.
He grasped the steering wheel with glee
And gave the clutch a yank,
And then, with objurgations, he
Climbed down again to crank.
Again he mounted to the seat
Prepared like wind to fly,
Yet there he fingered in the street;
The water tank was dry.
He filled the tank; it seemed a cinch.
Once more he starts to chauff.
Behold, he does not move an inch
The differentiars off.
In rage he tolls with might and main
Till he is faint and weak;
Again he starts-and stops again;
The tires sprung a-leak.
The shades of night are falling fast :.
But joy illumes his brow;
He shoots ahead-his troubles past.
Pray, who can catch him now?
And yet, around the corner, we
May find this same machine;
Its owner is not there, for he
Has gone for gasolene.
