A Cheering Explanation.

Sleeper, the Santa Fe stage driver,
answers questions freely and gives the
passengers a good deal Of informa'
ton that is not called for by their tick
cts. A nervous old lady was riding
down a dangerous looking trail with
him once when she noticed a hatchet
lying In the bottom Of the stage and
inquired why he carried it.
II use that hatchet to knock injured
passengers In the head" replied Mr..
Sleeper.
The old lady gasped with astonish-
ment and drew away from him to the
other end of the seat.
Sleeper leaned over toward her and
in a confidential whisper explained:
1--WE have a good many accidents on
this here line. The stages allus tip
pin over and rollin' down precipices,
and every time a passenger gifts hurt
he sues the company for damages.
These here damage suits uses up all
the profit of stagin', and we've had to
stop 'em, so every dr. !ries a
hatchet. When a passe4, IS hurt
we simply knock 'em on I nead and
throw the body over a precipice, and
then there amt no lawsuit. Seer

Where Children Are Sold.

On the same steamer by which l
reached Benguela there were five little
native boys, conspicuous in striped Jer-
seys and running about the ship like
rats. | suppose they were about ten
to twelve years old, perhaps less. 1
do not know where they came from,
but it must have been from some fair
ly distant part Of the interior, for, ike
all natives who see stairs for the first
time, they went up and down them on
their hands and knees. They were
travelling with a Portuguese, and with
in a week Of landing at Benguela he
had sold them all to other white own
ers. Their price was 80 milreis apiece
(nearly f1O). Their owner did rather
well. for the boys were small and thin
hardly bigger than another native
slave boy who was at the same time
given away by one Portuguese friend
10 another as a New Years present.
But all through this part Of the coun'
try | have found the price Of human
beings ranging rather higher than L
expected, and the man who told me
the price of the boys had himself been
offered one Of them at that figure and
was simply passing on the offer to my
self.-Henry w. Neyinson In Harper's

BIZ the help of Christ save our dear
ones from spiritual peril? There Is
beautiful story told that during chivai.
ric times a knight was captured ana
imprisoned In a castle. The wire, WHO
had been left behind during the cru
SADIE. knew not where her husband
was incarcerated SO she took string
ed instrument, and, dressed as o page,
she wandered from court to court and
from country to country, singing under
the great fortresses the old love songs
with which she had been wooed In herI
fathers castle. One day, as the Ia
miliar notes of the minstrel lifted
themselves to a frowning fortress, therel
came back an answering song. Tnen
the wife knew where her husband
lover was imprisoned. BY means OF
her fathers friends she was able 10
rescue her dear one. So shall II De
with us. II we lift our voices In re-
demption songs. we shall near our
songs echoed back in the redemption
songs of our loved ones. AS Plate, IN
all probability, decided the eternal des-
tiny of his wife as well as his own
when he condemned Christ, so our ac-
tions may decide the eternal destinies
of our friends as well as our own.
May we weigh carefully the impor-
tance Of the question which / am about
to put May we weigh it carefully In
reference to our homes, our business
associates and our friends at large.
what shall We do then with Jesus
who is called Christ" I am not ask
ing this question, but Jesus himself Is
asking it. What will ye then do with
me?" Answer must be given. Then
Christ shall give to us an answer
which shall affect the eternities. Then,
instead of having "Christ before Pi-
late" we shall have "Pilate before
Christ" Oh, what shall Jesus then
say unto us? Will he say, Come, ye
blessed of my Father; inherit the king
dom prepared for you," or shall he say
Depart from me; depart from me-"

Frederick, the youngest son Of the
family, although just in his twenties,
had entered the sophomore class in col
lege. He was regular and faithful In
writing to his parents, and when, near
the middle of the first six months, a
period of more than two weeks elaps-
ed without their having heard from
him they became uneasy. They were
on the point of sending a telegram OF
inquiry when they received the follow
ing note, written in a cramped and al
most illegible hand:

Of late and have not had time to write.

Welding to His VIII.

Having intellectually acknowledged
Christ as the Son of God, the second
question is more importunate. What
will you do then with Jesus who Is
called Christ in reference to the Will!
Are you going to let him rule your
mind, your thought and your actions
When Jesus comes to you and says, Il
am Jesus-wilt thou obey meT' are you
going to answer: Yea, Christ, l know
that thou art the Son Of God, but l
cannot and will not do as thou wouldst
have me. l cannot yield my will to
thine"
Christ demanded Of PLATE the samC
kind of submission to his will that the
Franciscan monks are compelled to
give to the head of their order. The
story is told that many centuries ago a
monk refused to obey the great found
er of their order. BY the command OF
the leader a grave was dug. The re-
fractory monk was placed in a stand
ing position inside the grave. Then by

yield to my will?" The monk, with set
jaw and sullen look, refused to yield.
Higher and higher came the soil, now

monk refused to yield. At last the dirt
came to the lip and to the nostril. do

A Judlclous Inquiry.

A well-known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for a cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for child or
for an adult, and if for a child they
almost invariably recommend Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. The reason
for this is that they know there is no
danger from it and that it always
cures. There is not the least danger
in giving it, and for coughs, colds and
Group it is unsurpassed. For sale by

SECRETARY MORTON WILL
NOT COMMIT HIMSELF

Washington, May 22.-Secretary
Morton is evidently making his ar.
rangements to leave the cabinet and
re-enter the railroad business. He
was asked the question as to whether
or not he would succeed Mr.. Romsey
as the head of the Wabash, and he re.
fused to either affirm or deny the ru.
NOR He was told that his attitude
left wide field of speculation as to
his future course, in view of the re-
peated statements that Mr.. Gould hav.
ing broken with Mr. Ramsey, now pro.
posed to have his properties handled
by the present Secretary of the Navy.
He said that he realized that this was
SO, but he was mistaken in his de-
termination, saying, "You may draw
any inference you wish. You may
take my silence either to indicate that
there Is to be such an arrangement
and that it is perfected, or that there
is nothing of the kort. will make no
