Il had terrible sore on my ankle,

Missionary Hens.

Last October the women of Bethel
Cumberland Presbyterian church, To-
Gated In the midst of an agricultural
district ten miles south of Danville,
Ky, voted to set aside all the eggs
laid on Sunday for the mission fund.
At once it seemed as If every hen in
the district started out to lay on Sun
day. No matter how frequently eggs
appeared in the nests during the week,
the pastor while preaching his Sunday
sermon always heard the noisy cack-
ling in neighboring farmyards which
told him that the mission fund was in
creasing. The report for the fiscal
year shows that the church has raised
$2,100 for missions, a sum unheard OF
before the Sunday egg scheme was put
into operation. The money is to be
used to support four missionaries in
Japan.

FROG WAS TO BLAME.
Weather Prophet Had Simply Put
Faith Where He Believed He
Had Right.

James Wilson, the secretary Of agri-
culture, was discussing an antiquated
kind Of farming.
1T is about as profitable and logi-
CAL" he said, "as the weather reading
of Connecticut farmland l used to
know.
This farmland claimed that he
could read the weather infallibly. On
a walk with me one afternoon frog
croaked, and he said
1--WE will have clear weather for "a
hours. When a frog croaks in the
afternoon you may be sure of "a hours
of sunshine
"We walked on, and in 20 minutes
or so a heavy shower came up and we
were both drenched to the skin.
"'You are a fine weather prophet,
said |, as we hurried homeward
through the downpour. You ought to
be ashamed of yourself

frog lied. It's to blame, not me. Am

London open-Air Pulnits.

London has five regularly built
open-air puIpits from which there is
preaching and the results have been
so good that other churches are con-
sidering the question of having such
pulpits built upon the outside of their
edifices. These pulpits are erected
against the wall of the church, usually
at an angle, and are sheltered by a
projecting hood. The preacher enters
the pulpit by door from the interior
Of the church.

WAsHINGTON.-Under the new railway rate
law the interstate commerce commission becomes
a far more important body than 1t ever was. 1t
is increased In size from five members to seven
members and the salaries have been raised from
81 500 to $4,000. The commission assumes the
Importance of high United States court. Its
membership is only two less than the supreme
court of the United States and the salaries are
equal to those drawn by the mine gentlemen in

some years because it had no power to enforce

MR.. ROOSEVELT A GOOD PARTY MAN.

This will be busy season for the "spellbind-
ers" of Mr.. Roosevet's cabinet No secret is
made of the intention of three or four of the
cabinet members actively to engage in this years
congressional campaign. The president feels in
a way that his administration is on trial and he
looks to the people to indorse it and particularly
to indorse the policies which congress enacted
into law on his recommendation, The president
despite all that has been said and written about
his reform ideas, is pretty good party man and
is honest enough to express the hope that Re-
publican house of representatives will be reflect
ed. He does not object to his cabinet officers
going into the campaign and 1t Is not improb-
able that he himself will make two
speeches of somewhat political character.

TIE NATIONAL EXPOSITION IDEA

Congress has become resigned to the national
exposition idea 1t has gone so deep into these
enterprises in the past that every new proposition
to celebrate some great event by national ex-
position is pretty certain to meet with support
and favor. Preparations are now under way for
fair which is to be the celebration of the found
ing of Jamestown the three hundredth anniver-
sary of which will occur next May. Speaker Can
non who is of an economical turn of mind tried
to check the granting of government aid to this
enterprise, but national expositions are somewhat
in the nature of public buildings when 4 comes
to getting aid from congress. They are made
part of log rolling scheme and combinations are
formed that always insure the enterprises being
indorsed.

CHOICE FOR NOMINATION TWO YEARS HENCE

1t is somewhat amusing to note the jealousy
that exists in the little group of statesmen who
have their political lightning rods elevated to
catch the presidential bolt in 1908. These men
who aspire to the presidency are thoroughly
human and they are watching each other like
hawks. While for public consumption their words
and acts are altogether disinterested, in private
conversation they indulge in some pretty severe
criticisms of each other. There has been great
anxiety among these candidates to find out on
whom the administration favor would rest The
developments of the past few weeks seem to have
settled that point and now it appears to be the
field against Secretary Taft, for the latter is
