 The above body of Baptists met, as was previously announced in The Journal, at Sulphur Rock, the 9th, 10th and 11th of Septem- Der. The appointee to preach the opening sermon not being present, Dr. A. J. Barton was called on and preached an interesting ser- mon on Heaven.
 The former moderator, Bro. J. W. Goodwin, having died, Bro. D. A. Allen, as clerk, called the body together. We were permanently organized by electing Rev. J. P. Lovelace moderator and Bro. Jno. Q. Wolf clerk, About twenty churches were represented. One newly organized church came into the body. Those who preached during the session were Revs. A. J. Barton, E. N. Campbell, J. +. Love, $. W. Calaway and W. k. Duran. And as the Protestant Methodists asked for services at Oak Grove, the writer and Bro. c. ". James preached there Sun day and Sunday night. We had an interesting discussion on differ ent questions, but the spirit of the Lord was with us. The reports show there have been some ad- vancement in the past year. A number of additions and baptisms. An advance step was taken on as- sociation missions, and in the re- port on temperance the following was adopted, not only by the body, but all the congregation solemnly stood up: We pledge our selves to do all we can to stop the sale of alcohol in any way we can.o So you see there is strong sentiment for temperance. We ask all to join us in this pledge.

liz natural. 1t is a survival of the
primal nature. Saving is an ac-
guired trait. 1t is necessary,
therefore, to form habits that are
conducive to economy. Manymen
and women who work for wages or
salaries find it difficult to save
unless some circumstance forces
them to it. The fact that this in
diligence only means a dollar or a
dime, as the case may be, is regard
I'd as a sufficient excuse to spend
The money.
1t will take a long time to ac-
quire a fortune by laying up the
odd pieces of change. Yet many
great institutions derive their en-
tire patronage from dimes, nickels
and even pennies. The habit of
saving means the saving of the
little denominations. 1t is to curb
the inclination to spend money
simply because the denomination
is insignificant. Anyone can
save the dollars, big bills and gold
pieces.
That the prOdigal side of man is
understood is found in the devices
for catching the pennies and the
dimes. To Offset this and to en-
courage him to lay by a portion Of
his earnings, savings banks and
the monthly payment plan for real

FRANKLIN FUND IS s411.OOo
Question Of Disposition Of Famous
Budget Puzzles Members Of
Boston Board.


By a cOdicil to his will, dated in
1889, Benjamin Franklin left
$4,000 to the town of Boston, the
fund to be managed by the select
men and the pastors of three
churches. The money was to be
loaned in small sums at five per
cent, to young married artifcers
who had served an apprenticeship
in the town, for whom two respon.
sible citizens would become sure
ties.
By adding interest to principal
it was estimated that in a century
the fund would amount to $685., 900.
OF this 100000 was to be used in
works of general utility and the re-
mainder used as in the original be.
quest.
At the end Of the second century
the sum was expected to amount
to $20,305, 900, of which s., 305, 10000
was to be at the disposal of the
town and the remainder to go to
the state.
When Bosom became a city the
aldermen acted on the theory that
they could oficiate in place of the
selectmen, and some years ago
were preparing to spend a great
deal of money. The case went into
court and it was decided that the
aldermen had no authority to act.
A new board has accordingly been
constituted and has been giving
hearings to determine how the
money is to be expended.
An interesting feature of this
case is the failure of the fund to
realize expectations in the way Of
growth.
At the end Of the first century
it was less than 100000. Young
artiicers were not so anxious to
borrow money at five per cent. as
was expected, not more than 400
loans of that sort having been
made. Other investments were
made, however, and the growth of
the fund was considerable. Itnow
amounts to $411,847.6S in cash de.
posted in a single bank.
The question what to do with it
naturally attracts a good deal Of
attention, Under the will it may
be expended in any sort of public
works calculated to make livingin
the city more convenient to it's
people or attractive to strangers.

While his ship was in harbor q

He showed them all the different

knowledge failed him. One of the
guns was a new model, and some.
thing about the breech mechanism
was novel and p%erplexing.

Bits Of Investigation Regarding

dom. A farmer of southern Ne
braska had a 40-acre lot of wheat
and the promise of a big yield,
when the grasshOppers descended
upon him. But the farmer says
that very soon after the hopper
appeared, he made a discovery
which gave him the whip-hand. He
tells his own story in the Journal
of his state.
l found that the grasshoppers
we're in the habit of climbing the
wheat stalks every morning to
spend the day feeding on my prop
erty. l used to go out to the field
to see how they were getting on,
and in my impatience at the liber-
ties they were taking, l would oc-
casionally strike a clump Of them
as they hung on a stalk and knock
them to the ground.
After awhile | noticed that
when a grasshOpper was thus dis
lodged he made no further effort
to get his dinner, but remained on
the ground until the regular time
to climb the stalk the next morn
ing. Immediately | went and took
our long wire clOthes.line, and
called my wife to come and help
me. Between us we dragged the
clothes-line all over that 40-acre
field, knocking all the grasshop-
pers to the ground. There they
stayed until the next day.
The next morning we gave the
hOppers just time to get well start
ed up the stalks when we went out
and repeated the performance Of
the day before. The result was
the same, and in the course Of Il
few days every grasshopper in
that field was dead of starvation.
Our n~eighbors came out every
morning to jeer at us. They called
us a pair of old idiots, but we har-
vested the only wheat crop in that
part of Nebraska that year.

Finding Of Religions Of the Orient"
Leads to Slight Rufhing Of
Wifey Harmony.

The harmony in which MI. and
Mrs. Jabez Green had lived for
nearly 40 years was slightly ruff
fed when, at the close of a lecture
in the first course ever given in
Wraynhan, Mr.. Green stated that
he should like to know more about
eastern religions.

"yOu know what you believe, and
what other folks believe different

Mr.. Green looked uncOnvinced,
and a slight GOODNESS arose, but in
time it passed away. Mrs. Green
redoubled her attentions in the
way of griddle-cakes and hot soap
stones, and her husband kept the
wood-boxfilledtoth the brim. He had
a reason for so doing, inasmuch as
certain half-hours in the barn
were passed in absorbed reading

brown book safely hidden in its
deepest pocket. "When l get all
through maybe I'll tell her how

He went off for his afternoon
nap, but later on, at dusk, feeling
in the pocket for the brown book
as he started for the barn to do the
