STILES HAS MADE GAINS

Ensley November 4.-(Special lone more last grand rally, one more supreme effort, and the die is cast, the work is done, but how well no man can tell, not in the present at least Tomorrow night the remarkable and unprecedented cam paign in the race for sheriff of Jefferson county, which has been waged so long and so strenuousy will come to close, q far as Ensey is concerned, and the citizens of Ensley will hear for the last time the hard worked speaker who has 1abored so earnestly to persuade the voter a large why his particular chieftain IS the man who is entitled to the office.
 The Iigdon forces have arranged for a grand rally at the Ensley opera house tomorrow night. Extensive preparations have been made and the meeting is eX- pected to go off in glory and splendor. The hour is set for 7sO o'clock. County politics have been very lively in Ensley all week, and great work has been ac- complished by both factions. A remark able fact that is at once apparent is the great change that has taken place among Steel City voters, It is known, the knowl- edge being based on casual observation. that Stiles has made gains during the past week. and where two weeks ago the race would have been very close, it is now conservativey estimated that he will poll a majority of the votes cast fin Ensley. The change is more remark able when the fact is considered that .HiGdons majority in the last election was just 70.
 The Stiles managers have announced that there would not be any more public work or speaking done in Ensley

The Only Safe Attitude.

remember some years ago CHIMP
ing the Weisshorn above Zermatt VAL
ley with two guides. There had been
series of severe storms and ours was
the first ascent for some weeks, conse'
uuently we had great deal OF STEP
cutting to do up the main arete. we
had left the cabin at 2 in the morning,
and it was nearly 0 before we reached
the summit, which consisted, as did so
many peaks in the Alps, of splintered
rocks protruding from the snow. My
leading guide stood aside toilet me be
first on top. And I, with the long LABOR
of the climb over and eXhilarated by
the thought of the great view awaiting
me, but forgetful Of the high gale that
was blowing on the other side OF the
rocks, sprang eagerly up them and
stood erect to see the view. The guide
pulled me down. "On your knees, sir.
You are not safe there except on your
knees"

and 10 of ash-the most condensed ana
strengthening form Of food offered to
man. Every person having a little
plot Of ground is able to keep from
half a dozen to many dozen of these
wonders and so add to the family In
come. To do this to the greatest ad-
vantage, one must know how to care
for his fowls-to guard against, de-

save for breeding purposes, etc. Tho
simplest and most satisfactory way Of
securing this knowledge is to buy L;

What SeckeSt Thou?

Clearest vision il often gained in
deepest darkness. A true standard
of earthly values is not lnfrequently
found just as all earthly gain seems
impossible. Dr. R. +. Horton, OF
London, had some such experience
when for weeks he lost his eyesight.
Since then he has written: sue
cess is the last thing in the world
that you need desire. They who last
ingly benefit the race are not the
men whom the race claims and
crowns. They are found on crosses
and at stakes, dying often in great
poverty. The world crowns those
who amuse it, ignores those who IN
struct it, and hates those who bet
tc" it."

ual; to come Himself, in His own
personality, unto God: GOD IS
Spirit, and they that worship Him
must worship Him in spirit ana IN
truth" Again, when His disciples
had been quarreling among them
selves as to who should be the great
est, once more He had an opportunity
to express Himself, not only to teach'
but to live out, His thought. ne
girded Himself with towel and
washed their feet, and said: Let
him who would be great among you
be your servant" What high JOY
He must have had as He not only
revealed His word, but by His action,
for all time-for the generations yet
unborn-taught the truth of the dig
nifty of service; and if to-day the
world is moving toward wider
brotherhood, if we are thinking not
so much of ourselves and more OF
our neighbors, it is because He per-
formed that lowly service. He had
been talking, also, about faith; that
God was their Father and that He
would never desert those who put
their faith in Him. In the hour OF
awful blackness, of eXcruciating
physical and mental agony, His
faith rose triumphant. All! there
was the supreme triumph of His
faith. Not in the words He had
spoken, but in the life He lived and
in the way in which He met the
awful tragedy and in the glorious
elimination of His earthly life.
The practical application OF all
this is not difficult. All men nave
some sense of destiny, some con-
sciousness of call, some feeilng
with respect to conduct. Every man
has moments of Godlike aspirations.
Surely, there come to us in mo-
ments of high, spiritual endowment,
when the soul knows what 1T ought
to do for it's triumph or undolng,
and mans time shall come when he
is true to the revelation of truth
that is in him, when he expresses IN
his speech and life the convictions
that have grown in moments OF su-
preme inspiration and insight. Ihe
mighty men of the world are the men
who have been able to do this. There
was Paul and Martin Luther and
John Wesley and Abraham Lincoln.
God pours into some men more t'lan
He is able to pour into others, be-
cause they are able to receive more.
While it is true that we cannot all
be geniuses and giant, it is also true
that every man may live his corp-
plete, fuli-orbed life. He may feel
first that he has come from God;
that his destiny is to return to God,
and his business is to breathe in the
teaching and love and spirit OF the
infinite Father, anu day by day be
true to the beautiful, pure and noble
suggestions that God will breathe
into him. If a man will do this
there is no question of his influence.
The history of Jesus is proof posi-
tive on the point. He lived His life
truly and loyalty, and His world,
which is the universe, swings around
in obedience to His truth. An
friends, if we will be as loyal in our
place and limited sphere, the world
will be lifted up by us just as
Christ's life-world was lifted py
Him. 1t is an this sense that we are
to follow Him and recognize that he
is our example day by day as we go
forth to the work and duty CT our
life

Potash From Granite.

Again the fact is being published
in some of the agricultural papers
that finely pulverized granite is a
valuable fertilizer that can be furn-
ished at very cheap rate. 1t is re-
ported that tobacco, plant that re-
quires high fertilization, succeeds as
well with the granite powder as with
German potash, by using double the
amount of the former; and while the
potash costs 500 ton the granite
can be sold at the low rate of So per
ton, so that Sc worth of it is equal
in fertilizing value to 500 worth OF
German potash. 1t is time the farm
ers who use commercial fertilizers
are made acquainted with these
facts, if they are such; such state
ments were reported years ago, and
nothing further came of them. This
time the report is that extensive
preparations are under way for de-
veloping the new industry thus made
possible. In the near future the es-
tablishment of many mills for pro-
ducing granite potash may possibly
be expected. We are not told where
these mills are to be set up but will
keep on the lookout for them. What
a great blessing it would be to the
farmers in the worn out sections of
New England, if it should be found
that the granite rocks that cumber
the ground there contain the very
elements needed to restore them to
fertility. But we are not as san
guine about such wonderful finds as
we were once.-Indiana Farmer.

the lingerie materials are appropriate
with trimming of lace or embroidery,
as liked, while also the model will be
found desirable for the thin silks that
are made after the same general style
as the wash waists. The lines given
by the tucks and the trimming are
exceedingly becoming ones, and the
sleeves are in the most comfortable
of all lengths, terminating just below
the elbows.
The waist is made with front and
backs, the backs being tucked from
the shoulders to the belt, while the
front is tucked to the yoke depth
only. There is regulation collar at
the neck and the closing is made in
visibly at the back. The sleeves are
simply full, gathered into bands.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and one
fourth yards twenty-one, three yards
twenty-seven or one and seven-eighth
yards forty-four inches wide, with two
and one-half yards of insertion two
inches wide.

Blue and White Suit.

A shirt waist suit of blue and white
striped material is so put together
that the color of the half-inch stripe
forms the trimming, and the result is
very pleasing. The ruffle around the
bottom of the skirt is laid in pleats
with the blue stripe on top, stitched
down a little way, so that the effect
is of a blue band heading a fluffy
blue and white ruf1le. The same idea
is carried out on short sleeve and at
the neck, while the belt is formed
by laying the fulness of the waist in
pleats. A very simple costume, but
an effective one.

Inexpensive Trimming.

An inexpensive mode of trimming
a summer gown for her whose time
is not a marketable product is the
use of tiny gathered ruchings ar
ranged in festoons or otherwise on
skirt and bodice. The material is
cut about two inches wide, hemmed
on both sides, gathered through the
middle, and sewed on in any pre-
ferred design with very decorative
effect. The narrowest of lace sewed
to each edge adds to the daintiness 0f
the trimming.

Talk of Politics.

Mark Twain" at dinner in New
York, was talking about political
leaders and the undue credit they
take for their country's prosperity.
He told Of certain Senator, Sena-
tor Dash, who wa~ always on hand
to receive the praise for any blessing
that had befallen his State. He
pointed out several benefits for which
the Senator took undue credit, and
then looking gravely around the
table, he said:
But what Senator Dash more
particularly prides himself on is the
late excellent harvest"
