much familiarity between the man
ager and the wife Of the miner.
The situation in regard to the
marriage relation is becoming bad
indeed, and if something is not
done in regard to divorce and le-
marriage the whole structure of
society will come tumbling down.
Our churches aud ministry have
an awful responsibility upon them
in regard TO this momentuous
question. The marriage relation
seems to be more and more re-
garded as convenience rather
than a solemn compact from the
author Of our being. Unlesss the
churches and the ministry set their
: faces like a flint against every vio-
lation of this sacred compact, we
need not hope that the state and
society Will protect us. The Bible
makes it plain that this sacred re.
lation cannot he set aside except
on the ground of unfaithfulness to
to the marriage relation Gu the
part Of one or both parties, and al.
though the state courts recognize
many grounds for divorce, Oul
Father recognizes only one and
churches must be guided by the
the word of God in dealing will
such matters, or else be guilty Of
encouraging the open violation
Of the law of God, The man who
will go into another mans home
aud seduce his wife may expect
swift aud awful punishment, anC
that the sympathy of the people
will be largely with the Que wht
visits it upon him, though sucl
punishment should he executed b!
the law of the land.

The Gardner Made Good.

Meissonier, like many other celebrit-
les, had a passion for gardening, says
London Tit Bits. His gardener, an ac-
complished botanist, knew to perfec-
ton the seeds Of every plant, and his
master had often tried in vain to throw
him off his guard.
This time I have him." the artist
remarked to party Of friends at the
dinner table. And he showed them
packet containing the dried roe OF
herring. He then sent for the gar
dener.
DO you know this seed?" Nelson
Ter inquired.
The gardener carefully scrutinized
the grains.
"Why not?" he said at last. "They
are the seeds Of the 'polpus insamus,
a very rare tropical plant"
How long will they be coming
up% Meissonier asked, with a chuckle
Of suppressed exultation.
About a fortnight" was the reply
Two weeks later the guests were
again assembled at Meissonier's table
and after dinner the gardener was an
nounced.
IN. Meissonier," the man said, the
seed has just come up"
"Ah you surprise me-" the artist
exclaimed, as he rose and led the way
into the garden to examine the botani-
cal phenomena.
The gardener lifted glass shade
and disclosed to view a small bed with
three rows Of pickeled herrings' heads
peeping out Of the earth. Everybody
laughed. Meissonier dismissed the gar
dener on the spot, but took him back
again next day.

that would seem to indicate the Ne
braskan Is somewhat worried at the
appropriation by President Roosevelt
Of some of the leading doctrines of the
Democratic party. Mr.. Bryan good
naturedly suggested that the Republi-
can party might leave to the Demo-
Gratis such issues as governmental
ownership, Federal regulation Of the
railroads and radical tariff revision.
mr. Roosevelt's recent advanced
position in these matters" said the
Nebraska man, reminds me Of story
told Of an old colored woman regard
ing her experience with an up-to-
date physician. She had been attend
ed by a colored doctor without getting
relief from her ailment, and decided to
consult a white physician. She was
somewhat mystified at the scientific
movements of the latter. Later she
was questioned by friend regarding
the methods Of the new doctor.
Ibid he take your temperature?'
she was asked.
Deed I doan kno,' sab. but I spec
he did, was the reply. so far 1 only
knows dat he done took my watch

rates and low tariff, but I suspect
the worst Is yet to come"

In northern Colorado, was entertained
by a dialogue which was sustained up
on the one side by the driver, and up
on the other by an elderly passenger,
evidently a native Of the region.
Il understand you're temperance"
began the driver.
"Yes, I'm pretty strong against IL
quor," returned the other. "Tve been
set against 1t now for thirty-five
years"
Scared 1t will ruin your health?"
"Yes, but that isn't the main thing"
Perhaps it don't agree with you?''
ventured the driver.
well, 1t really don't agree with any
body. But that amt 1t, either. The
thing that sets me against it is hor-
rible idea"
"A horrible idea! What Is it?'
well, thirty-five years ago I was
sitting in a hotel in Denver with
friend of mine, and says, Let's order
bottle Of something and he says
No, sir. I'm saving my money to buy
government land at one dollar and
quarter an acre. Pm going to buy to-
morrow, and you'd better let me take
the money you would have spent for
the liquor and buy couple Of acres
along with mine I says, All right.
So we didn't drink, and he bought me
two acres.
well, sir, today those two acres are
right In the middle Of a fourishine
town; and If I'd taken that drink Ia

UP AND DOWN WITH BIsHoP-Bishop
Dudley Of Kentucky was much ad-
dicted to sport, especially liking to
hunt and fish, says the New York
Press. Once, when on a shooting trip,
the Bishop chanced to fall in with an
old mountaineer, who, according to
Representative Ollie James. took a
great fancy to his new acquaintance,
whom he did not in the least suspect
was a bishop. When Bishop Dudley
was preparing for his return home he
invited the old man to visit Louisville,
so that he might hear him preach.
Preach" gasped the old mountain
eer. What, you preach! Kin you
preach as we'll as you kin shoot?"
Much better" responded the bishop
smilingly. BE sure to come some
Sunday. I'll see that you get a good
seat in front"
The old man availed himself Of the
invitation thus extended. At the con-
clusion Of the service he quickly
sought out his friend, the bishop. and
grasped his hand.
"Mr. Bishop" he cried enthusiastic
cally, II don't know much about your
creeds and dogmatics, but 1 riz and
sot with you every time!"
