Not the slightest trace Of the where

Qualified to Practice.

When the late Secretary Hay was
crossing the Atlantic in 1865 ON his
way to Paris to serve as secretary Of
legation he told the following anecdote
to one of his fellow travellers. On ap-
plying for admission to the bar of
Illinois he was summoned to appear
before committee Of prominent Chi
cago lawyers to be examined as to his
qualifications.
He went to the place appointed and
found the committee assembled; but
for a long time they took no notice of
the young candidate, but continued
talking vigorously together on various
subjects. At last one Of the lawyers,
turning to him, said:
"Mr. Hay, what would you do If a
client should come to you with such
case as this?" and proceeded to de-
scribe very elaborately complicated
legal case.
Il should ask for retaining fee of
fifty dollars" promptly replied Mr..
Hay, "and tell lin to call to-mor-
row."
Mr.. Hay, you are admitted" said
the gentleman, and with hearty
laugh from all present the proceed
'ings closed.

to self-seekers that theif honesty is
impugned and their patriotism dis
counted Any prosecuting officer will
testify that there is nothing in the
whole catalogue of crimes so difficult
to trace as political corruption, moth
Ing so difficult to fix as bribery. The
public should not wait for proofs. The
vote should not wait for evidence. 1t
is not only essential that public men
have their dishonesty improved, but
that they be men Of such proved hon

SHORT METER SERMONS.

Care calls to prayer.
Love and laws rule the world
Many of our crosses come from orr
crooked ways.
Some men think that grace grows
by grumbling.
Most doubts would die If we did not
dodge them.
Happiness rests on thoughts more
than on things.
Only those who love the world can
live above it.
The finnicky man always thinks he
alone Is faithful.
Giving with grunting may be worse
than Withholding.
Holiness without heart is but a hin.
drance to humanity.
The man who jumps at conclusions
seldom lands on facts.
A man can lie with his tone while
his tongue tells the truth.
The robe of righteousness is not the
same as the cloth of the clergy.
Some churches that claim to he
working for men are only working
men.
Never put of to tomorrow the
meanness you might as we'll rive nm
to-day.
Nothing hurts the feelings of the
stuffed martyr worse than letting him
alone.
Too many sermons are attempts to
feed the people on cook books instaaS
of on bread.

Farming by Night,

In order to demonstrate that, If nee

carried out day and night continuously
with gasoline motor, an interesting
trial was recently carried out in Eng
land on farm near Biggleswade. A

and two 6-foot mowers were attached
to an 1vel gasoline tracter. Under these
conditions fifteen acres were cut in
the short time of 3 hours 35 minutes.

He must be bern to the manner. Else
the door of opportunity Is closed in
this country, If he is the right sort of
man, he can buy freedom from fear
and worry, recognition. independence
He can aspire to be and become all
that any other American can aspire to
become. And that is why our critics
across the waters fail to understand
us. Years ago they called us a nation
Of shopkeepers. They can see us only
as dollar chasers. But the fact is we
want money because of the things it
will buy. We do not hoard It, We
are royal spenders. OF course there
are some among us who believe that
money will buy anything-content
ment, happiness, or even character.
They learn differently. But surely 1t
is not altogether an unworthy motive
that we should desire money that we
may minister to the wellbelng Of those
whom we are fond Of. 1t is not a sor-
did desire, this one of wanting money
to educate our children and give them
a chance in life better than our chance.
And that Is why Fritz and Patrick and
Nels and Antonio and Moses, when
they come to us over sea, join with us
in the dollar chase. 1t Is only when
We begin to long for dollars we cannot
use that we become money mad. The
American wants dollars for what they
will buy and he buys what he wants.

A friend Of the editor asks this ques.
ton: why do Americans as a rule
go after the dollar harder than Euro
peansf" Plainly, because dollars will
buy more in this country than in Eu-
rope. Dollars will buy some things
there, but here they will buy every
thing that is worth buying. In Eu-
rope 1t makes no difference how much
money a man has, nor how decent his
character, neither he nor his family
can amount to anything in particular.

MEN VS.. MODELS.
By Rev. Henry E. Cope

But ne nlmSelr went q days jour
ney into the wilderness, and came and
sat down under a juniper tree; and
he requested for himself that he might
die.-I. Kings xix, 4.
One thing about all the Old Testa-
ment heroes andears them to the av-
erage man; they were so average
themselves; they had enough leaven Of
earth to make us feel they belong to
us. Here is this old giant, rock like
prophet Elijah, throwing himself down
under bush, sulking in a pet like a
child. He who stood before kings
and armies fees from a scolding wom-
an. No matter how much he was to
blame we are glad he did 1t; it Is just
what we would have done.
Only nature capable of great
heights can be thrown into such
depths Of despondency. There are no
waves on puddles. The shallow ma
ture is always calm. The great waves
rise where there are great depths. A
smaller nature than Elijah's would
have maintained Its dignity.
Too many superficial thinkers look
for all saints to be on precisely the
