Gar Was Urged to ExpeI Bryan.

A Berlin special says: The CORE
spondent of the Post at st. Petersburg
wires that the presence of William
Jennings Bryan has caused a great
furry in court circles. The reaction
airy clique has exploited his visit in an
effort to incite the Car against the
progressists parties of the Douma,
claiming that Bryan was encouraging
the constitutional democrats to resist
the imperial authority. They charge
that it is improper for a foreigner
to interfere in Russian affairs, and
criminal for the members OF the Rus
sian parliament to hatch conspiracies
through the cooperation of foreigners.
The reactionists urge the Car to ex-
pel Bryan, on the ground that he has
INDUCED in disrespectful utterances
toward the government. Another
clique advises making formal diplo-
matte protest to Washington. The
Russian secret service police shadow
ed Bryan the moment he crossed the
frontier, and noted the name of any
one with whom he conferred. The Gar
rejected the advice of the reactionary
and accepted the counsel of the min
listers, who pointed out that any mo-
lestation of Bryan would create an un-
favorable impression in the United
States and turn the public opinion Of
the world against Russia.

Kentucky! Old Kentucky! The very

a spell, has made a music all its own;
has woven on it's sylvan loom a glory

Let's see The Star said. speaking
of the tragedy in Levy county, that
there "was a good deal Of drinking
and much rowdiness" That was as
much or more than the Banner said
about the condition of affairs in Vo-

Weekly News, whose editor is an earn
est prohibitionist. But good Brother
Moore did not fire any of his ire at
the S'ar. Perhaps it was because OF
its gentle treatment OF him in the last
prohibition campaign. But the Banner
doesn't mind.

Moore modifying his statements. At

unequivocally that prohibition does
prohibit" He now gives his definition
Of prohibition" as a motion to restrict

whelming testimony cited by this pa
per we do not see how he could very
well have done otherwise than to give
definition somewhat different from
the dictionaries. We accept the amend
ment with all good grace.

agitation of this question. A corrupt
system in itself, it has been initiated
by counties, without warrant in law,
and to some extern by cities. 1t is
wrong in principle and damning in its
effects. The industries OF the state
can get along without that class OF
labor, and the state can provide safe,
decent and profitable employment for
these convicts by suitable distribu-
ton of them in the Improvement OF
our roads for years to come, and thus

MIR. Towards Appeal.
Orlando, Fla, June IA, 1906.
Brother Editor desire to call your
attention to the discussion of the pres
emf state convict lease system In the
columns of the Orlando Reporter-Star,
of the evil of the principle itself, the
gross inhumanity growing out OF 1t,
and the necessity of providing some
nlan for the amelioration of these
evils.
Bills looking to a change in the
system will be presented to the next
Florida legislature, probably looking
TO the building of good roads in every
county in the state with this labor,
and if consistent with your views
nroper holding of public opinion
through the columns of your paper,
Joining with other papers in the state,
would help the good cause along.

Fellow Endeavorers-Twenty- years

A new quarter century is before us.
What Will it bring? 1t is for you and for
me to determine. Past mercies call for

Fellowship. more iberaiity, more study to
show ourselves approved to God and man.
Our new era opens most auspiciously.
The skies over Christian Endeayor were
never so bright as today in all the world.
It does not become us, for personal rea-
sons. TO say much concerning the great
plans inaugurated and carried out by my
honored colleagues in my absence TO
cndow the foreign work Of Christian En-
deavor; but, when accomplished this en-
dowment will not only relieve some OF us
of great load Of care, but will establish
Christian Endeavor principles In all the
world wherever the gospel Is known and
will. with Gods continued blessing and
our continued fidelity, confirm the work
OF the first twenty-five years and cause
the seed planted TO bear fruit for cen
turtles to come. God help us all to hear
His Forward, marchg' as we step out
into the new quarter century.

The community was ssddencd on Thurs
day night to hear Of the death OF Mrs. s.
Oscar Moore from heart failure. Although
Mrs. Moore had been III for some time,
the news OF her death came IS great
shock, as ii was thought that she was inn
proving and had dismissed her physician
about week before.
Few could be taken from the village who
would be SO generally missed. She WAS
warmly attached to those TO whom she
gave her friendship, possessing keen
sense of justice, generous to those less for
tunate than herself and a great worker
both in her home aud In the outside at
fairs in which she took an interest.
Much sympathy goes out to the husband
and children, who feel their sorrow keen
ly, together with the large family Of
brothers and sisters, among whom this Ia
the first break.
Funeral service was held Sunday after
noon at the house, Rev. Gideon Mayo, OF

Here is a poem true to our sentiments.
Happiness is contagious as the last line
implies. Many of you have noticed how.
sometimes in social company, sometimes
in a neighborhood, sometimes as pleas
ant faced caller passes from house to
house, the atmosphere grows more en-
livening, some unpleasant things have
lost their sharp edge, or have disappeared
entirely, and the general aspect of life
has frightened perceptihly.
But there are occasions when dire CAL
amity, like that which few days ago cast
its shadow over that city whose golden
gate has been an entrance TO wealth and
happiness to many. falls on those who feel
the s'sorrow ofothers throwing Its shadow
over them. Like other cities swept by
fire or food, il will rise to new life, but
it would seem now that a sense OF security
would be weakened, and that to many
physically uniniured, the uncertainty OF
life and its earthly possessions would be
an ever present thought
Now win give you poem which NJ. A.
B. has sent. II is an opposite view Of
nature from that which We have just
looked upon. 1t is really charming
'sspring songn though its title is
SUNSHINE SONG.
oh, the worlds running over with loving and
laughter,
With sunshine and happy song;
And spite of the clouds comes the shining
after.
The shadows are never for long.
After the rain comes the bursting flower,
The fragrance of all things sweet,
Robins so glad Of the dancing shower,
Larks in the tossing wheat.
And all the way is the heartsease growing
BY paths where our feet are led.
violets low in the grass are showing
How blue are the skies o'erhead.
Oh, the worlds running over with blessing
and beauty;
And we, we pass along,
viii find in the grim old path called Duty
Sunshine and flowers and song.
Though clouds may marshal themselves
together
With thunder and rain and blast,
Surely will follow the glad, bright weather,
Sunshine will conquer at last!
