THE PRECEPTOR.

set my eyes on the face of Duty;
master" I said, 'let be! let be!
Life will lose all it's golden beauty
If must follow Thee!'
An, out the ways that we trod were weary !
An, but the paths that we followed long!
Dreary the span Of the sky, and eerie
The sound of every song.
And yet, as though through some chrismic
wonder,
After the lapsing of sunless days,
The grim gray veil seemed to melt and
sunder
Like the rifted morning haze
Then set my eyes on the face of Duty:
"Master,' I said, "at last see
That life has gained a more hallowed
beauty
Since have followed Thee!'

THE RIGHT To SPEAK.
Why the Christian Should Speak Quit
the Message Of the
Christ.

Sir John Lubbock, the eminent Eng
fish naturalist, has spent lifetime in the
study of the habits of ants and other in:
sects. He has made some very wonder!
full discoveries, some of which are con-
jtrary to the common ideas of the ways
of these insects; but when Sir John Lub|
book publishes anything about ants the
world reads it and accepts it as authori-
tative, for by his long, patient and ac-
curate researches the naturalist has
earned the right to speak upon that SUBJ
ject For the same reason the world
eagerly listens to anything that Thomas
A. Edison may have to say about phono-
graphs or any other topic connected
with the development of electrical pow
er, or to anything that Mr.. Ernest
Thompson-Seton may have to say about
the habits of wild animals. These men
have created for themselves the right
to speak on these subjects, but when
Joshua says: Come hither, and hear
the words of the Lord your God" his
right to speak rests upon a different
foundation, and the distinction between
them is not always kept so clear as it
ought to be. Joshua s right to speak does
not rest upon his own Investigations
into the realm of spiritual truth, but
upon the fact that he has received mes
sage from the final authority in such
things. That message he has a right to
speak with confidence.
1t is the same right to speak which
hot hol~
day school teacher, to every minister,
to every disciple of our Lord, says J.
Mervin Hull, in Christian Work. All in
vestigations of every kind, natural,
scientific, philosophical, ethical, are linn
tied by the vastness of the field No man
can ever say that he has covered all the
ground so as to come to an absolutely
sure conclusion. But the hum lest disci-
pie can teach love to God and man and be
absolutely sure that he is right. He has
the authority of the Lord Himself for it.
1t is pity that we realize so imperfectly
the nature of this right to speak the
truths OF Gods word. 1t would be an
excellent idea for every teacher and
every Christian in any walk of life to
make study of the attitude that Pau
had toward the message that he received
from his Lord. 1t filled him with Joy.
He just dubbed over with enthusiasm
for it. He never made the mistake Of
delivering it as if it were his message,
but he simply gave out that it was the
message of the Lord, and never made any
pretense of bolstering it up by any other
authority. That view of our right to
speak enables us to speak with helpful
ness to every kind of human need. HUI
man hearts are yearning for certainty
in spiritual things. It is the privilege Of
the disciples of the Master to speak the
things which he has revealed with a note
OF authority which shall comfort those
who are in sorrow, guide those who are
wandering, and encourage:thos who are
fighting the battle of life. If the world
is asking in despair, Is life worth living?
those who know that to.1ive is:Christ
have: for it the message. of life more
abundantly.

THE BEEF TRUST.

The beef trust is a two-edged sword which cuts both ways in the interest of the monopoly. lowering the price of cattle on one side and advancing the price of meat on the other.
 Cattle are lower now than at any time before in the last sixteen or se- venteen years, while meat is higher than ever before in that period. The low price of cattle is not due to the large supply, for the consumption of meat has so increased with the growth of the country in population that it is beginning to tax the productive power of the country to supply the home de- mand. Under natural conditions the price of cattle should be as high as at almost any time in the last seventeen years. But under the artificial cOndi- tions produced by the beef trust the live stock industry has been depressed and growers are not getting for their cattle what they should command in the market.
 This condition has been brought about by a refusal of the members of the beef combine to bid against one an other in the cattle market. Refusing
Arizona republican., 1905-01-25

to pay more than very low price, they compel the stock growers to yield to their terms. The latter must sell their cattle for whatever price they can get. and since the trust makes the price, the growers are helpless.
 The remedy lies in breaking up the trust and compelling the packers to bid against one another, which they would do if they were not bound by their trust agreement.
 Not satisfied with forcing down the price of cattle the trust adds to it's profits by advancing the price of meat. The consumers of meat are as much at the mercy of the trust as the sellers of cattle. The trust maintains a mon oDoIv in the meat market by the same methods that it controls the price of cattle. Its members refuse to com pete with one another, and consequent Iy the public must pay the price fixed by the trust or do without meat.
 Whenever an independent plant tries to compete in the sale of meat the trust destroys the competition by se- curing better railroad rates. Thus it is enabled to lay it's product down at lower rate than it's small competitor is forced to pay, and the latter is com pelIed to submit or suffer great loss.
 The proceedings now before the su- prene court of the United States are for the purpose of restraining the trust from maintaining its monopoly. If the contention of the government Is sus- tained. the trust will be broken up. It's members will become competitors with one another again both in the purchase of cattle and in the sale of meat. Both cattlemen and the public will be ben efited and yet the packers will be left a remunerative profit on their busi- ness-Denver Republican.

A germ at the root soon plays havoc with the most luXuT- iant growth ond causes it to fade and fall out. A remedy for this has re- gently been discovered, called NewbTO's s Herpicide, that acts by destroying the germ that does the damage, besides removing all impurities from the scalp.

Skirts made full and soft by means of plaits and shirrings grow in pOpu- larity week by week and promise to extend their favor for an indefinite time. This one is exceptionally grace ful and attractive and is well adapted to all the fashionable, soft materials, but in the case of the model, is made of cerise crepe de Chine, the graceful folds providing ample trimming.
 The skirt is made in nine gores, all except those at the center back being cut in two sections, the lower sections giving the effect of a flOunce and being shirred to form a heading. The box pIaits are separate and are applied, one over each seam, and the fullness at the top is arranged in gathers to give the effect of a shallow yoke.
 The quantity of material required for the medium size is 15 yards 21, 1894 yards 2 or 71a yards A inches wide.
