Parable o. the Tobacco Seed

Then shall all the kingdom of Satan
be likened to a grain of Tobacco seed,
which, though exceedingly small,
being cast into the ground grew, and
became great plant, and spread its
leaves, rank and broad, so that huge
and vile worms formed habitation
thereon. And it came to pass, in the
course of time. that the sons of man
looked upon it, and thought it beauti-
full to look upon and much to be
desired to make lads look big and
manly. So they put forth their hands
and did chew thereof. And some it
made sick and others to vomit most
filthy. And it further came to pass
that those who chewed it became weak
and unmanly, and said, "We are en-.
shaved and can not cease from chew
ing it." And the mouths of all that
we're enslaved became foul; and they
were seized with violent splitting; and
they did spit, even in the ladies'
parlors, and in the house of the Lord.
And the saints OF the Most High were
greatly plagued thereby. And in the
course of time it came also to pass
that others snuffed it, and they were
taken suddenly with fits, and they did
sneeze with great and mighty sneeze,
insomuch that their eyes were filled
with tears and they did look exceed
ingly silly. And others cunningly
wrought the leaves into rolls, and did
set fire to the one end thereof, and did
suck vehemently at the other end
thereof and did look very grave and
calf-like; and the smoke Of their
torment assembled up like fog. And
the cultivation thereof became great
and mighty business in the earth;
and the merchants waxed rich by the
commerce thereof. And it came to
pass that the professed saints of the
Most High detiled themselves there
with; even the poor who could not
buy shoes, nor bread, nor books for
tnelr llttle ones, spent tnelr money
for it. And the Lord was greatly dis
pleased Herewith and said, "Be We
clean that bear the vessels of the
Lord" "Let us cleanse ourselves
from all filthiness OF the fesh."
"Wherefore come out from among
them and be We separate, said the
Lord, and touch not the unclean thing
and l will receive you" But with
one accord they exclaimed, "We can
not cease from chewing, snuffing and
puffing!"
O we professcd followers of the Lord
Jesus Christ, will we be the slaves of
a nasty, poisonous weed?
One is your Master, even Christ.

Too lono MINDED,

The inhabitants of the Canary
Isles finding themselves oppressed by
famine sent to the governor of Ga
licia one of their head men as an
ambassador. They advised him not
to lose himself in long winded talk.
He promised and kept his word. He
took with him a large number of
sacks, and, arriving at the town
where the governor was on circuit, he
opened one of them before him, say
ing only these words: "It is empty;
fill it."
The governor ordered this sack and
the rest to be filed with meal, but
he said to the speaker:
"You had no need to tell US that
the sack was empty, nor that 1t was
necessary to I'LL It: we should have
readily guessed that. Another time

Well Spoken OF

Dieter Bros, who were here last
Friday and Saturday, were greeted
with full house both evenings. Mrs.
Mae Munro's cornet and piano play
ing was strong feature of the even
ing, as few musicians can play the
cornet with one hand and at the same
time play the piano with the other
hand. All the moving pictures were
of the very best and some were very
amusing. Illustrated songs were
good and all speak of the entertain
ment in fattering terms. They will
be welcomed back to this city when
they are in this part of the state again.

TRADE A PEACE FACTOR.

Modern society is the most COM
plicated machinery of the world and
international trade is the greatest
peace factor. Not only are the in
dividual units mutually inter-de-
pendent but nations fall in like cate
CORY. Not one could stand by itself
alone for its necessities have out
grown its natural resources.
In support of this we may point to
Americas cotton crop as one of the
bdst guarantees against disturbance
from the other nations. According to
statistics just issued the cotton crop
exported in 1906 was valued at about
800 million dollars. This is five-sixth
of the total cotton supply Of the world.
In case OF war with Great Britain
from any cause. 1t would of course,
shut off our cotton supply to that
dustries into confusion and final bank
ruptcy; conditions which would soon
cause England to sue for peace.
So also our exports of breadstuffs
would operate to protect us from the
evil designs and impulses of foreign
nations. This country supplies much
OF the food of the world and to with
draw its food supply from any nation
would be attended with more or less
serious circumstances Steam and
electricity have wrought wonderful
changes in recent years in solidifying
the nations. and largely through the
means of trade in establishing a
medium of exchange which is a
guaranty of universal peace.
We are not yet ready to dispense
with battleships as a means to peace
and protection in the worlds markets.
but all signs point to the day when
war will disappear forever and the So
luton OF the problem will be in the
development of the worlds commerce.

HOW RAILROADS ARE HANDI.
CAPPED.

We have a friend, an engineer. who
insists that Mr.. Hartman in his dream
of six-foot guages for railroads and
io0-ton cars, which, of course, would
involve 150-ton locomotives, is all
wrong. He says the locomotive Is OBJ
solete and most wasteful In the first
place. the motion of a piston rod in a
steam engine is a crank motion; that
a thorough machinist can counter
balance that uneven motion to
any desired speed. but with the speed
lower or higher than that. with every
revolution there is a knock which
wears out both the locomotive and
the track. When locomotives are
increased to 1876 or $50 tons,
and driven at high speed their
wear upon the track is something fear
full, and the result in a little while is
a shattered roadbed and a disabled
locomotive. To this he ascribes the
manifold accidents that have been
happening ever since the era Of fast
travelling with heavy trains was In
augurated. His conclusion is that
the heavy trains and the tremendous
momentum have proven dead failure.
"But what is your remedy?" we
asked. He replied: Instead of single
tracks with 100 ton rails. make
double tracks OF 5o-ton rails. The ex-

ira cost of grading will not be-
cessive when the purpose from the
first is to have a double track.
'"Then make the electric motor the
power. Its motion, is rotary; there is
no pounding of engines or track with
it. Build lighter cars. Thirty-son
freight cars are plenty. Then reduce
the speed of freights to Is miles an,
hour and passengers to 80, but keep
them going. Let passengers know
just how long they will be between
main terminals and keep your word
with them. Say, for instance, that it
is 1000 miles between Omaha and Og-
den. At 30 miles an hour that would
be 33 1-3 hours, and allowing q 2-3
hours for stops, it would mean sc
hours between the cities. How many
of the big fast trains do betterf How
many are reported from four to twelve
hours late daily?
'Tt would mean cheaper roads
cheaper rolling stock and such a saw
ing of time and such an avoidance Of
accidents that II the roads make fair
returns now, the charges on freights
and on passenger fares could be re-
duced one-third and more money
would be made. The wear and tear
would be reduced so per cent, be-
lieve 80 per cent. There would be no
waiting at sidings for overdue trains.
The modern first class railroad has
passed its legitimate limits. AS equip-
ped now It carries with every train q
Thor hammer to beat itself to pieces,
and surely Mr. Hartman Is on the
wrong track."-Goodwin's Weekly.
