A Little Jiu Jitsu.

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:
Dear Mother-I have been pretty busy
Of late and have not had time to write.
Harry Jenkins and I had some fun the
other evening hazlng a new student. Har-
ry has been in the hospital nearly a
week. but is about well now I got of
a great deal easier. All that happened to
me was broken finger and a sprained
ankle 1 am writing this with my left
hand The doctor says will be as good
as ever in few weeks. with much love,

my Master; l win yield my heart and
life to thee Go you not believe his OWL
wife would have also accepted Christi
Why, she was already almost per-
suaded. Furthermore, do you not De-
leve that il you should give your heart
10 Christ today your actions would be
the means of making some of your
loved ones surrender their hearts to
Jesus?
Often have we read how men and
women have rescued their dear ones
from physical dangers. Shall we not
by the help of Christ save our dear
ones from spiritual peril? There is a
beautiful story told that during chival-
rie times Il knight was captured and
imprisoned in a castle. The wife, who
had been left behind during the cru
SADIE, knew not where her husband
was incarcerated. So she took n string
ed instrument. and. dressed as a page,
she wandered from court to court and
from country TO country, singing under
the great fOrtresses the old love songs
with which sine had been wOoed in her
fathers castle One day, rs the IA
miliar notes of the minstrel lifted
themselves 10 a froWning fortress, there
came back an answering song. Then
the wife knew where her husband
lover was imprisoned. BY means Of
her fathers friends she was able to
rescue her dear one. So shall it be
with us. If we lift our voices in re-
demption songs, we shall hear 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 rs 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 I 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?' / am not ask
ing this question. but Jesus himself is
asking it. 'What will We then do with 1
ne?' Answer must be given. Then 1
Christ shall give to us an answer /
which shall affect the eternities. Then, /
instead Of having Christ before Pi-
ate" we shall have ''Pilate before
1hrist." Oh, what shall Jesus then
iay unto us? VIII he say, Come, We

must obey him even as the Franciscan
monks obey their leaders We must not
yield Christ one-third or one-half or
pine-tenths Of our wills, but we must
surrender unto him complete and abso-
lutte obedience
We must acknowledge Christ as king
of the entire Will We have more rea-
son to do so than had PLATE, though
he conceded more than some Of US are
doing. In the first place, lie yielded
his win to Christ enough for a little
while to defy the Hebrew mob. Then,
in the next place, he tried to save
Christ by a subterfuge. He placed
alongside of Jesus one Of the worst
criminals Of the east and then he said:
According to the law, l must pardon
one Of these criminals. Which shall it
be-" lie did this with the hope that
the people would let him pardon Christ.
Then when all means failed he took
basin of water and washed his hands
before the people as he said; Il am in
nocent Of the blood Of this just per-
son See We 10 IT," All, yes, PLATE did
much to save Christ. but be did not do
enough With one word he could have
said, Free, free." and Christ would
have been free. He yielded his viii TO
the divine win one-eighth, One-fourth,
one-third, one-half, but he did not yield
all. "What viii you do then with
Jesus who is called Christ?' In every
department of life will you give to him
complete obedience?

We chiIdren Are soId.

On the same steamer by which ]
reached Benguela there We're 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. I
do not know where they came from,
but it must have been from some fair
ly distant part of the interior, for, like
all natives who see stairs for the first
time, they went UP and down them on
their hands and knees. They were
travelling with Portuguese, and with
in week Of landing at Benguela he
had sold them all to other white own
ers. Their price was 80 milreis apiece
(nearly E10). 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
to another as a New Years present.
But all through this part of the coun-
try I have found the price of human
beings ranging rather higher than I
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

We NInst Love.

You must love somebody or some
thing. You cannot help it. The ten
drills of the heart will climb up and
reach out for an object to love, just as
the roots of a tree viii reach out to
clutch hold of the rocks or will sink
themselves into the earth As we
must love, cannot you and I learn to
love Christi Cannot we begin to study
and to learn what he has done for us?
In the record of that beautiful life can
not we learn to love him as we learned
first to love our mothers on account of
the sacrifices they have made for us?
Then, having realized what the divine
love means, cannot we learn to do
something for his loves sake? Gods
love can change our actions toward
him if we will only let it. What are
you going to do with Christ in refer
ence to the hearts loving capabilities?
But 1 cannot close this subject with
out asking you one more question.
What are you going to have your loved
ones do with Jesus? You have almost
as much influence over some Of your
loved ones actions as you have over
your own. If PLATE had turned to
Christ and said; Lord Jesus, thou art

win Remove Grazing Fee.

Denver.-The Republican prints the
following from Washington.-E. H.
Grubb of Carbondale, Colorado, was
here yesterday and held long con-
ference with Secretary Wilson and
Chief Forester Pinchot regarding the
forest reserves recently established in
Colorado. Mr.. Grubb made a vigorous
protest against charging a grazing fee
on the Holy Cross reserve at this time
He insisted that the government had
no way of knowing what the expense
of supervision Of the reserve would
be, and until the reserve had been
handled for few years under the new
plan the stockmen would not know
that they were any better on than at
the present time, when they have free
access to all of this section.
Mr.. Grubb finally secured promise
from the secretary and Chief .Pinchot
that early next month an order would
be issued resembling the regulation to
charge q grazing fee on this reserve.

sulting board of engineers have de-
cided in favor of a lock canal at Pan
anna, General Davis, chairman Of the
board. said to-day:
$50 far as am aware, neither the

has expressed any opinion as to the
type of canal that is favored. The
board is not In possession Of all the
facts bearing upon the question OF
type. 1t returns to this city entirely
free from any prejudice or bias re-
specting that type SO far as known to
me. The board will be in continuous
session either as board or In sepa-
rate committees until they reach con-
clusion. which will be arrived at some
time in the month Of November, prob
ably near the close. Two committees
have been appointed to study the two
types of canal-sea level and lock-
and these committees are endeavorihg
to develop the best canal Of each type.
When the work shall have been com
pleted the whole board will be ready to
decide which type they prefer"

Monday morning at st. Francis hos
pital, from aneurism OF the aorta. Mr.
Simpson was conscious up to five min
'utes before death. The end came

The ex-congressman's last illness be-
gan at the time of his final campaign
for Congress. In spite of failing health
he continued his business activity,
working as an agent for a land COM
pany OF Chicago, and operating an ex-
tensive ranch near Roswell Six
months ago his condition became such
that he went to Chicago to consult a
specialist, who pronounced his malady
hopeless. From that time on he con-
tinued to grow weaker. until finally
compelled to abandon business. He
was brought to the hospital here Sep
tember 21st.
