Ignorance alone is the cause OF all
sorrow save sin. II we could know
fully and see with the vision where
with we shall one day see, then our
eyes would always be dry and our
hearts would be constantly singing.
Ignorance not only causes sorrow,
but it also prevents comfort. Be-
cause we do not know Gods prom
ises their balm is not applied to our
hearts. The first step of faith should
be into a greater knowledge of the
many and comforting words that the
Lord has spoken. We honor God by
treasuring up in our memories,
against time of need. His unfailing
promises.-Rev Raymond Thomas,
Methodist.

For the benefit of those within other
political lines who may be interested in
the matter, it can be stated with little
fear of contradiction, that if President
Roosevelt is not again the republican
nominee for president the nominee will
be man who will best represent the
presidents sympathies and purposes in
legislative and national directions.
Mr. Roosevelt can be his own successor
if he will, but whether he is or not
there is no opposition to his efforts and
accomplishment within the republican
party which would receive the slightest
attention in a national convention.
President Roosevelt has not in single
instance departed from the spirit and
declaration of the national republican
platform accompanying his candidacy
for president, and there has been no
change in party sentiment or purpose
which would permit opposing action in
the next convention.

United States approximately 1,475, 900,
600, 900 feet of lumber, but that As. 900,
100000 were being cut every year. y
At this rate the forests would last near
ly thirty. three years, altogether. But
there are several other contingencies.
The annual fires in forests destroy an
incredible quantity of standing timber.
Including the consumption of wood for
pulp and paper, lumber cut for export
and domestic use, telegraph poles, cross
ties, piling and fuel, of which much is
still FUSED in many locations, the timber
used in mining operations and that
DESTROYED by forest fires, there are 75
900, 900, 900 feet of lumber consumed
each year. with an increased quantity
yearly 1t is evident, therefore, that
there is not enough timber standing to
continue commercially for more than
twenty years in all the United States
including the Pacific coast forests.

Approval of the means and methods
employed and satisfaction with the re-
suits and with the present situation so
far as their business is concerned,
seems to be the view now held by the
meat packers relative to the action of
the government in requiring that their
operations be supervised by govern
ment inspectors. 1t is now conceded
by the packers that their work should
be inspected, and the inspection has
been help to them rather than other
wise. 1t is quite probable that the
same mutually pleasing outcome will be

Clubs made up mainly of rich and TN
puestionably solvent members some
times fix no limit to the size of a check
that the clerk may cash. In most clubs.
however the limit is fixed pretty low
by the amount Of cash in hand, as the
clerk deposits daily. and may deposit
twice Il day, to avoid the awkwardness
of cashing large checks. Every day
clubs made up of men rich and poor
usually fix the amount for which Il
check will be cashed as low as SIS, and
some put it even lower. Few clubs put
it higher than 500. though In rare in
stances club clerks consent to cash
checks high up in the hundreds.
Many Of the changes in the policy
OF the clubs touching credits come If
n really new conception Of club life that
has grown up with the modern develop
ment of New York. The older and more
exclusive clubs are still, in theory and
practice social organizations, the newer
clubs are often mere aggregations OF
men drawn together for their own con-
venience in the matter of eating and
drinking. for business purposes, to fur
Their some common political END. Such
clubs are not places of intimate assO-
citation. and they tend to assume toward
their members purely business ft4d-
, ton.

not serve Il man with meat or drink
comes unpleasantly enough when he
has planted himself at tabl, and de-
manded refreshments. Well-mana ged
clubs contrive that a man shall receive
expired before he has undertaken to
exercise his ordinary privileges as Il
club member. but there are a good many
illmanaged clubs in New York where
negligent members meet with just this
form of embarra ssment.
Some clubs that have ceased to post
the monthly list or the limit list still
post the names Of those who have
failed to pay their dues when the term
of credit has expired. This term usually
extends for at least a month after the
annual or scm-annual payment has
fallen due, but it may extend to two
or even three months.
No self-respccting man likes to have
his name on that list, and few clubs
will long tolerate men whose names
habitually. appear there. A good fellow.
however. who spends much money at
the club and has never driven the board
to threaten cxtrcmitics may offend in
this way for many years 1t is a per-
fectly well-recOgnized idiosyncrasy of
some men to be slow pay. and the club
can afford to be patient with the slow
man who is free spender.
1t is "a sign Of improved club man.
ners that the posted list. when still
maintained. is no longer made conspic-
uous 1t is. of course. always concealed
when the club entcrtains guests, and
there is an increasing tendency to re-
gard it as bad form to scrutinize the
posted list too closely.
The club gossipcr was never a nice
person, and he is more than ever
frowned upon. 1t may occasionally be
convenient to know that fellow-mcm-
Der Of ordinarily punctual habits has
not paid his club bills, but there are
usually earlier premonitions Of a mans
financial embar-assments. Those who
most promptly discharge their club
debts are far more being the safest
men to deal with in money matters. To
get into a good club and keep clear of
the posted list is worth much to a
climber.
With the shortening and lessenng of
club credits has come in many clubs a
stricter rule as to the cashing Of men,
bers' checks. 1t is a well-recognized old
trick to kite a check at the club from
Saturday noon to Monday afternoon
Perfectly reputable and solvent men dc
it, and the clerk at the desk often feels
moral certainty when he cashes a
check for $50 or 500 that the maker
has not enough money in the bank to
cover it. Some clubs refuse to cash
the checks of members. In such clubs
man in need of ready cash outside OF
ordinary banking hours will sometimes
pay his bills with a check considerably
in excess of the amount and demand
change. In that situation the clerk is
justified in taking into consideration,
the members character.

CLUB CREDITS IN NEW YORK.
How the Metropolitan Club Member:
Arrange Money.

Club credits in New York are shorten
ing rather than lengthening. Old estab-
lished clubs, indeed, cling pretty well to
their early rules on this subject, but
even some of these have shortened the
time and cut down the amount Of cred
its. The newer clubs tend to keep
credits low and the term short. A few
clubs even try to enforce the rule that
incurred and before the member leaves
the clubhouse. 1t is still possible. how
ever, for IL reputable man belonging to
| four or five clubs to dine without pay
ing for Il whole year by judicious use
of his credit.
Within the last few years some clubs
have abandoned the time-honOred post
ed list. There must have been time
when the monthly posted list was effect
i've in making men pay their current
club debts. but the effect upon men of
seeing their names posted month after
month ceases to be felt and in time {,
place on the posted list is regarded al
most as an honor.
Some clubs have abandoned even the
