Lafayette Flaunted Liberty Medal In
Face Of Louis.

Shortly after Lafayette's return tc
France from his second sojourn in
America, he was at Versailles, where
the king was about to review divi
sion of troops Lafayette was asked
to join in the review.
He was dressed in the American uni
form, and was standing by the side oil
the Prince de Condo, when the king
in his tour of conversation with the
officers, came to him, and after
speaking on several topics, asked him
some questions about his uniform and
the military costume OF the United
States. The kings attention was at
tracted by a little medal attached tc
the generals coat, and he asked what
1t was.
Lafayette replied that it was sym
boil which 1t was the custom of for
eign officers in American service to
wear, and that it bore device.
"And what is the device upon
yours" asked the king.
my Device" said the young gen
eral, pointing to his medal, lis lib

The king smiled, and with some
pleasantly upon the republican pro
pensities of French Marquis in
American uniform, turned the CONVEX
sation into other channels. Condo
looked grave, but was silent.-The

RIGHT HOME.
Doctor Recommends Postum from
Personal Test.

No one is better able to realize the
injurious action of caffeine-the drug
in coffee-on the heart, than the doc.
tor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:

BEES CLOSED A MINE.
Swarmed in Millions and Men Were
Unable to Work.

There are instances in great number
where mining operations were tenn
porarily suspended by a shortage of
funds or by water flooding the proper
ty, but it remained for Mohawk, a
small station along the Southern Pa
cific, to furnish new cause which is
unique in the history of mining. The
company affected owns the Red Cross
mines in the Mohawk mountains.
Millions of bees, attracted by the
water at these mines and forced from
their hives in the mountains by the
drought, took possession of the water
supply, and their numbers were so
great that it was found impossible to
drive the swarms away. Consequently
the mines have been shut down until
the rainy season sets in, when it is
hoped the bees will return to their
mountain homes.-Sacrament Bee.

THE STORY.

r HERE was general feeling of Ella
ton among the Hebrew spies as
they went into camp at Hebron that
night. They knew that they could not
be far distant now from the place
where their people lay encamped at
Kadesh Something over month had
now passed since they had gone forth
to search out the land which God had
promised to Abraham and his seed for
ever, and it is not strange that all
were eager to be back amidst friends
and loved ones again. That had been
momentous journey. Following the
course of the Jordan valley they had
gone far towards the north and then
turning westward had come to Rehob,
lying on the well-traveled route to
Klamath, the mountain pass in the
northern frontier of the land. From
thence they had passed on up through
the country of the Sidonians and the
Philistines, and came at last to the
wild and picturesque mountain section
of Hebron, where they had gone into
camp.
And while they waited the return of
two of their number who had gone out
to reconnoiter, they talked over the
experiences of the past month, and
discussing the land through which
they had passed, The natural beauty
and fruitfulness of the country had
deeply impressed them. How good
the grains and fruits had tasted after
their plain, monotorous fare in the
wilderness, and eye and palate had
pronounced the land good. And they
talked enthusiastically of the time
when they should enter in and dwell
in the midst of such scenes and plenty.
But Notwithstanding the elation over
the charm of the land and its fruitful
ness, there was an undertone of fear
1t the walled cities they had seen scat
tered throughout the land. How
were these to be overcome? Would
they not be at the mercy of these peo-
people who dwelt thus behind high
walls? Surely it must be strong and
warlike race which built fortified
cities. The conversation drifted in
this direction and finally became quite
animated.
Caleb had listened quietly to the dis
cussion, taking little part in it until
It became apparent that there was a
growing tendency among his brethren
to take discouraging view Of the sit
lation. Aroused finally by the remark

sERMoNETTE.

While the Scripture narrative
indicates that the project of
sending the spies had the Di-
vine sanction, even to instruc-
tions being given as to the meth
DDS to be pursued, still we must
remember that the land was
lsraeI's by right of inheritance
and was the place whittier God
was leading them, and hence
there could be no question as to
it's fruitfulness, or as to the GER
tainty of its occupancy by Israel.
These facts suggest then that it
was lack of faith rather than
divinely inspired wisdom that
prompted this course of action,
and remind us of that infinite
patience which God manifests
in dealing with His children.
God permitted the spying out of
the land because faith was not
large enough to go up at once
and possess it, and that. first
misstep opened the way for
those other sins of unbelief
which shut them out of the
promised land and dotted the
wilderness with numberIess
graves.
So to-day, God leads the soul
to the borderland of some great
opportunity, some rich posses
sion, and instead of confidently
going forward the soul sends
out it's spies to search the land,
the giants of difficulties and dan
gers are seen, the walled cities
of seemingly insurmountable OBJ
stacIes are discovered, and the
soul draws back in dismay and
cries: We are not able to go up
and possess it. All, soul, thou
who art face to face with the
promised land of better things
each day, look up and see the
Lord standing at thy side ready
to go with thee, put thy trust in
Him, and go forward for He that
is for thee is greater than they
which be against thee. Re-
member that if God be for thee,
who can be against thee. Let
not thy unbeIief shut thee out
of the promised land Of Gods
blessing.
The pathway Of unbeIief leads
back into the wilderness, away
from the promised land.
Faith is the Christians reduc-
ing glass through which dangers
and difficulties appear small and
insignificant.
An evil report is the express
sion of an unbelieving heart.
Spying out the land to which
God has promised to lead you,
and give you, may be wise pre-
caution, but it needs to be bal
anced by faith that faIters not
and a courage which knows no
fear.
1t took Israel 40 years to re-
cover the opportunity of enter
ing the promised land which
they lost in 40 days. So is often
to-day the experience of the
Christian. He forfeits years of
blessing through failure to go
forward in faith to the place
God has pointed out.
Those 40 days might better
have been spent in going for
ward than in holding back and
looking for giants. and walled
cities. The soul that fingers on
the borderIand of known duty
or destiny will surely find the
voice of unbeIief speaking loud
err and urging retreat.

WINTER WEAKNESS
Dr.. Williams Pink Pills the Tonic
That Most People Need for

In winter the air Of the close rooms in

lungs to burn out the foul matter in the

not throw off the waste matter as freely
as usual. The system becomes overloaded
with poisonous matter, and too feeble
to throw it of. Relief can be had only
through the use Of o remedy that will
promptly and thoroughly purify and
strengthen the blood. and the one best
adapted for this purpose Is the great
