ONE-SIDED DEVELOPMENT.
By Rev. DR.. Polemus H. Swift.
The Bible demands a holiness that is
wholesome. To be seemingly Jealous
in the discharge Of ones duties toward
God while one is utterly neglectful Of
obligations to men is to furnish an ex-
ample of the unturned cake-burned
on one side, dough on the other and
good for nothing on either.
Religious life is two sided. We owe
something to God and We owe some
thing TO nan and we cannot be true to
God If we are false to men. We can
not please God while we are wronging
G We cannot offer acceptable sacri-
fee to God while we are robbing men.
The prayers of n man who uses false
weights and measures are an abomina.
ton to Jehovah. Jesus declared very
plainly that men who devoured wild
ows's houses and for n pretense made
long prayers should receive the greater
damnrlion. 1t is impossible to truly
love God while we nate our neighbor.
No amount of ~genuAections of formal
worship Will make amends for the, alb,
sence of truth, righteous dealings, char,
ity and vital piety.
The mar who is very plOus in church
on Sunday and very worldly for the six
remaining days of the week is a splen,
did example of tho unturned cake
Those who sing for God on the first
day of the week and SIN TOR themselves
on every other surely belong to the
class Of which the old prophet speaks
these words. If o are going to be i
servant Of Jesus Christ you must carry
his Law into your business life. Relig
ion is not a cloak to put on it is a life
to be lived.

STEEL sQVARES FROM SAWS

The first steel square was made by
Silas. Halves at South SALISBURY, VT,
n~inety-iTe years ago, and the indus
try is still carried on at the same
place.
Halves was a blacksmith and wheel
wright and was called upon to do
some repairing to the cart of a ped
der. These fellows were always re-
-1uctant to let any hard coin get away
from them and whenever possible
they paid their bills by making some
isort of trade.
On this particular occasion the ped
der had in his cart a number of saws
which had been discarded as worn
past redemption and Halves, conceiv-
ing the idea that he could make use
OF them, took several of them in lieu
OF payment for the work he had
done. He cut these lengths of metal
up into suitable sizes and made
squares aid rules of them.
The tools became popular at once

DIR. WILSON'S GOOD A

Away back in the forties George
q. Brickett and Moses S. Wilson were
classmates in college and were also
.roommates. In after life both be-
came eminent and highly respected
members Of the medical profession.
Many thousand people in Maine and
all oyer New England will remember
Dr. George e. Brickett as surgeon in
charge of the COny United States
general hospital at Augusta, Maine,
during. the civil war. DR.. Wilson prac-
4ieed medicine in Lincoln, Maine, for
upward of fifty years.
Both Briekett and Wilson were de-
cidedly of the "wideawake' class of
students. Wilson, especially, was of
ia wild, r%ollicking nature, not in the
EIeast inclined to serious thoughts.
"A revival of religion of more than
usual interest. was in progress, and

John Philip Sousa has had some ex-

the statement that he met with the
most unusual, and perhaps the most
terrifying, in a quiet little town in
provincial England.

THE PRESIDENT EXPLAINS
The. President in a Statement, Elk
plains His Apparent Change of
Frcat on aRte Question.

Washington, Specialize sensa-
tional rate bill incident In the Senate
Saturday during which Mr.. Tillman
on the authority of former Senator
Chandler, made statements regarding
the President s course in connection
with pending railroad rate legislation
of which statements was denied
by Mr., Lodge Oh behalf of the Presi.
dent, had its sequel this evening when
an official statement was issued by
the White House, giving an account
of the subject on the part Of the
hPresident and Attorney General
Moody. The statement comprised
! two letters, one from the President
TO Senator Alison and the other from
Attorney General Moody to the Presi-
dent, both dated the 14th. The Presi-
dent says, "1n no case, either In the
case of Mr. Chandler or any one else,
wa sthere the slightest opportunity
for any honest misconception of my
attitude or any belief that / pledged
myself specifically to one and only
one amendment or set of amend
ments or hat | would not be salts
fed with any amendment which pre-
served the ESSENTIAL features of the
Hepburn bill as it came from the
House,
The President says that as to many
of the amendments, including the So
called Long, Overman, Bacon and
Spoorer Amendments, he said he
should be entirely satisfied to have
them in the bill, and suggested modi-
fications as to other amendments, but
that 'as to none (Of the amendments)
aid | ever say either to Mr.. Chand-
Ter or to any one else that [ should in
sist upon having them in the bill as a
condition of my approval" and that
on the contrary he (the Presidency
was careful to state that he was not
trying to dictate any particular pro-
g1amme of action.
The President says the statements
made to Senator Chandler were the
same i'll substance as those made TO
Mr.. Allison and other Senators of
both parties. He said he was asked
to see Senator Chandler as the rep
resentative of Mr.. Tillman in change
of the bill and that the conferences
Attorney General Moody had with
Senators Tillman and Bailey were
such as had been held with many
other Senators to determine the
phraseology and discuss the effect of
amendments proposed by them. The
President states that he became CON
WINGED that it was impossible for Sen
atOrs, with advantage" to use him
as an intermediary and suggested to
all to whom he spoke that they com
municate with Senator Allison, whose
purpose and the President were

seems that some feeling and family
trouble led up to the tragedy. The
father and son were both bound over

nos Wilson could be affected or in.
huenced in the slightest degree by
any religious movement.
Brickett one evening stroIled into
the revival meeting, as much out OF
curiosity as anything, and, to his great
surprise, saw Wilson there on his
knees, in the midst of a very fervent
prayer, which greatly moved the
hearts of all his hearers.
After meeting was over Brickett and
wilson went directly to their room.
Wilson'S sudden conversion was so
surprising that Brickett, out of deli.
aey r~efrained from mentioning the
matter to his friend, and the subject
was not mentioned by either until.
just before getting ready to jump into
bed, Wilson. with al the solemnity OF
an elder, turned to his friend with the
question: "Brickett, didn't / make a
danled good prayer" /

On Jan. II every person OF san
Antonio. Mex, brings a favorite beast
10 be blessed.in the square before the
parish church, says a writer In the
New York Tribune. The streets are
harrow, and the patient file OF horses
and burrows wendell their way to-
ward the blessing. Last January l
witnessed this curious spectacle:
Dogs, of course, we're nor numer-
Ous. One dear little dirty, three
legged cur, dingy white and yellow,
with precOcious eyes, was held in a
baby's arms. The prettiest creatures
were the turkeys. There is a pecu-
far. affinity between a peon and a
A. key. The Aztec name is always
led, alth0ugh the Spanish "pavo" is
hssier to say than "g~aulajote." This
' estimation Of letters, when pro-
@wnced by the knowing, sounds ex-
1WGly like the turkeys talk, even more
Characteristic than our english "gob-
Ole, gobble, gobble."
While waiting for the padre I>saw
half q dozen men and women squat
ting, their arms carelessly thrown
over those red waited, imposing
fowl. There were also parrots and
paFoquets, pigeons and ducks and
swans. a dozen of them, ungainly and
serpent1ike, out of their native ele-
ment, and a pair of peacocks also.
Sheep, more black than white, for
black sheep are the fashion in Mex
leo, added to the biblical effect.

One old man passed me with On
strange glitter in his eye. His left
hand was thrust into his breast and
his shifting, restless glance made me
shudder. What was the secret thing
he carried in his bosom for a bless
ing? Strangely attracted, | moved to-
ward him, but a soft sibilant hiss
made me see snakes and | gave him
a wide berth.
A small pig followed the padre as
he wound his way through the crowd.
San Antonio Abad is always followed
by a pig, and in some Italian city
there is a famous painting called
"The Saint and His Page" the page
in this case being a pig. A woman
behind me couldn't understand this,
but an Irishman explained it to her
satisfaction by suggesting that the
pig represented gluttony and TO cast
out that devil was the greatest mira
Gle of all.
There was a good deal of kicking
and jumping about to begin with, but
whether the beasts were hypnotized
by the shining crHcifix that preceded
the padre or their dumb souls were
touched by the Lord Himself, / can
not tell. 1 do know that as the little
procession came out Of the church
door a silence fell over the square.
The animals stood immovable. Even
the parrots stopped their chatterins
and I heard quite clearly the sound OF
a humming bee among the red bios
SONS of a tree.

and sold for SIS and Sc, most of the
business being lone through the ped
der who had been the means of
bringing the saws to Mr.. Halves.
At first the blacksmith made the
tools only at odd times when he had
nothing else on hand, but the demand
became so great that he had to make
special arrangements for their manu-.
facture, and the industry grew INTO
one of rather imposing proportions.
Mr.. Halves had been engaged in
the manufacture of the squares for
several years before it occurred to
him to take out a patent on the new
implement. He did this ultimately
and began the manufacture Of them
in earnest, erecting a factory for this
purpose.
The plant has been enlarged sew.
eral times, but steel squares are now
made on the site where the first one
was laboriously formed by the old
blacksmith.
