In doing so, it must be understood
that inasmuch as the young man

the Messenger was an infant in his
mothers arms when some of the in
cidents are said to have occurred, and

cupies, it is not intended in this
statement to cast any reflections
whatever on his good name, as take
it that The article in question was
prepared on Information given him

infer that while County Judge of
this county, and again while making
the race for the nomination four
years ago, that / admitted that / had

culture.
ARRIVE SEPTEMBER 90.
Farmers Should Be Here
In Large Numbers, For
Information.

Farmers should keep in mind the
Alfalfa and Corn Special" which
will leave Louisville next Monday
morning and make a three days
tour Of the State The object of this
special is to give the farmers an OPP
portunity of more fully informing
themselves as to the great value Of
alfalfa as rich food and enricher Of
the soil. Some of the farmers in
this section know something of alfal-
ia but the majority do not.
1t has been tested end proven that
alfalfa can be raised in sections of
Kentucky to great advantage, and
it will be to the interest Of Christian
farmers to be here on the day the
special arrives. Mr.. Joseph E. Wing,
of Ohio, will be the principal lectur-
er on alfalfa. He is man thorough
ly up on the subject and can tell
even those who know something of
the comparatively new food and
ground enricher things that will
be of lasting benefit to them.
Prof. P. G. Holden, of Ames,
Iowa, will be in charge of the corn
department. He is one of the fore
most agricultural experimenters in
the United States, and acting under
suggestions from him in their selec-
ton of seed corn, points planting,
ETC., the corn crop of Iowa last year
was increased 100000 bushels.
He should certainly be heard by all
our farmers.
This special is run under the aus
pices of the State Department of
Agriculture, is solely for the benefit
of the farmers and should have their
hearty encouragement and co-opera-
ton. Don't imagine for one moment
that it is for the good of any one
but the tiller of the ground. He
will be the only beneficiary, though
eventually all will be more or less
financially the better off by this
broadcast sowing of information by
men who, by practical experience,
have gained their information and
are willing to let all have the benefit
of it.
Remember the Friday, Sep
TENDER 20. The train will arrive
here at 8:45 in the morning and stop
just As minutes. If you are late
your opportunity is lost. This is the
first special of the kind. Every
farmer should be here.

RusISin on Women and war.

Mr. Rusl1in at the close of a lecture
on war made the following remarks to
the ladies present: "Only by your COM
mand or by your permission can any
war take place among us, and the real
final reason for all the poverty, misery
and rage of battle through Europe is
simply that you women, however good
and religious, however self sacrificing
for those whom you love, are too self
ish and too thOughtless to take pains
for any creature out of your immediate
circles.
Let every Christian woman who has
conscience toward God vow that she
will mourn for his killed creatures. Let
every lady in the happy classes of civ
ilized Europe simply vow that while
any cruel war proceeds she will wear
black-a mute's black-with no jewel,
no ornament, and tell you again no
war would last week."
Milford chronicle., 1905-02-17

George was elector Of Hanover ne be
friended the young unknown musician
Handel and made him court musician.
But after Handel had won musical
fame he tired Of the Hanover court
and hled himself to London. This great
ty enraged the elector When he became
king Of England as George l. he would
have nothing to do with his old favor
ite. But one day the king gave great
fete upon the river Thames. As the
royal barge moved along another barge
followed, playing twenty-five concertos
Of music. These concertos, gathered to-
gether under one musical head, are
known as the celebrated "water mu-
sic" Of Handel. Every musical instru-
ment then known was utilized in the
orchestra. "Ah," said King George, mo
one could compose such music as that
but my Old court musician, Freder-
ick Handelr At once the king restored
Handel to favor and gave to him sal
ary Of $1,000 per year. But, though
Handel upon the river Thames was
able to play himself into the good
graces Of an earthly king, our divine
peace, like a river, shall yet open for us
a more triumphant entry into the royal
courts of heaven. There we shall not
have to play as Handel played, but we
shall have all the celestial choir which
sang for the shepherds above the Ju-
daean hills sing for us the halleluiah
chorus Of royal and divine welcome.
But / think myself Of one suggestive
fact about this same river Thames.
Though Handel by sweetest harmony
may have played himself into the good
graces of an earthly king, yet he was
playing his "water music" upon the
stream which washed the iron gratings
Of the TRAITORS gate" of the old Tow
er of London. Through this gate the
English kings sent their enemies for
or decapitatfOn. Oh, my
can it be that you or / must
ever pass through the traitors gate
which is today swinging over the river
Of death for those who love not God? |
Can it be that there shall ever come a
time when God shall speak to us an
eternal condemnation with the follow
ng words: ooh, that thou hadst heark-
ened unto my commandments; then
lad thy peace been as a river and thy
righteousness as the waves of the seaw
Oh, for the peace, the everlasting peace,
If God, which is like a river!

peice and happiness come to us through
service to others. No man is so happy
as he who has made another happy.
No pillow is so restful as that Of him
who has relieved the anxiety Of his
brother The peace that passeth under
standing never fills the heart that cher
ishes selfish desires or turns away from
anOthers misery.
The Secret of Happiness.
How is it with America? Il would
like to see America, but the people are
not as great as you think" said Thorn
as Carlyle to an American visitor. ''You
may boast Of your democracy or any
other 'cracy' or any other kind Of pOlit-
lcal rubbish, but the reason why your
laboring folks are so happy is that you
have a vast deal Of land for very few
people" True, Thomas Carlyle, true.
But what would our lands be worth if
we did not have our mighty rivers to
water them? Whence could our cattle
find water to drink and grass to eat
but for the rivers? How could our
grain lift its golden cheek to be kissed
Of the sun unless its roots once waded
knee deep in the mud? What makes
the Atlantic coast, especially New Eng
land, have the most fertile valleys? The
rivers. What makes Sahara one great
sea Of sand? The absence Of the rivers.
Yes, as the Egyptians for centuries
worshiped the river Nile because its
rise or fall meant to them food or fam
inc. clothing or nakedness, prosperity
or poverty, health or disease. the rivers !
of our land are the source of fertility J
to the soil and prosperity to our people. |
If the peace of our hearts is to be like |
a river it must give help temporal and |
spiritual to all around us.
Are we temporal and spiritual "riv
ers of life" to our fellow men? Some
of us are truly "rivers of death" or
'rivers Of seclusiOn." Our lives are like
the stygian stream in the great Nam
moth cave of Kentucky. We are sur
rounded by grandeurs and beauties on
every side, but we have walled our
selves in by solid rock, where we can
do no good to others and where others
cannot do any good to us.

she received every day at her hotel a
neat little parcel Of cakes. They were
good cakes, but not out of the ordinary,
and never once was there a line or
word about the packages to give a
clew as to the sender. This continued
up to the last night she was to sing,
and then came the denOuement
As she left the concert hall she was
accosted by a small but naughty man,
who swung off his great soft hat with
a flourish worthy of an ancient Castil-

Not Like n River.

Indeed, l sometimes think that our
| so called peace is not like a river at
all. 1t is more like a brackish, stag
nant pool or as a dried up well that
| gives forth no water. "There was a
very good well here once" said an old
farmer in reference to a certain drink
ing trough. Indeed" answered a
preacher on his vacation, sis that so?
I l wonder what is the matter with it.
How did it get filled up?' Neglect,
sir" answered the farmer. First a
little rubbish got in it, then a little
more and a little more and a little
more. The dirt and refuse were not
cleared out, and the water grew worse
and worse and less and less until at
last the well became chOked up. I
wonder if there is any water at the
bottom of this well?" "Yes," said the
preacher. 81 wonder if there is any wa
ter at the bottom of the wellY' Is
that the figure of our peace? Is it a
well and not a river?
As the Mississippi river is fed by the
Missouri, the Ohio, the Tennessee and
the Red rivers and indirectly by the
Allegheny, the Monongahela, the Yel-
lOwstone and the Platte, so from many
sources might the river of our peace re-
ceive the waters of blessing but in
stead we allow the dirt and refuse of
this world to choke the passages by
which they might enter and our river
dwindles into a stagnant pool. Have
siaI nT I1e
the tourists dropping pebbles into
Jacobs well have chOked it up, some
Of US have choked up our gospel wells.
Years ago we dropped the pebble of
Sabbath Dissertation into it. Years ago
in went another pebble-absence from
Sunday school and church worship.
Years ago we took to reading the
Sunday newspapers instead of the B.
bic. No wonder that our peace, which
should pass all understanding and be
like a river, widening and deepening
each year, is like a brackish, stagnant
pool or dried up like Jacobs well. If
it be not like river the fault is ours
and not Gods. God is pouring down
upon us everywhere his showers Of
spiritual blessing, which we should
gather, freshet-like, into the river beds
Of our hearts.
But the pleading river not only
teaches our relationship to God, but
also our practical spiritual relationship
to our fellow men. 1t clearly and EN-
phatically and distinctly says, Gospel
peace must be eyes to the Ind, food
for the hungry, clothing for the naked
and happy fresides for the homeass."

Dear Sir: The way to reckon
the cost paint is to put both costs
together: the cost of the paint and
the cost of putting it on.
It would save this country hun
dl eds of millions of dollars a year;
it would save you alone ifyou hap
pen to be a victim several dollars a
year.
See how it works. It costs as
much to Put-on one paint as an
other, don't it?
Yes, if you use the same num-
Der of gallons.
Well, don't 1?
No. you'll use twice as many
gallons of addlterated paint as of
Devoe; and you've got to pay twice
as much for putting it on.
Mr. N Avery, Delhi, N Y, has
two houses alike and in same con-
dition. Painted one house with
Devoe; 6gallons. Painted the other
house with a paint that was half
adulteration; II gallons. Same

jobs. One cost SGT; the other $54.
