HID HIS MONEY IN HIS TIE.
But the Cautious Farmers Secret Was
 Guessed by a Detective.

You have often heard the question, Where mans treasure is, there will his heart be also, said a detective. 'I saw in illustration of that not long ago on railroad train. A detective employed by the railway company and I were seated near a countryman who adjusted his necktie every few min utes.
 That tie bothers the old man. said to my companion.
 Don't think it's the tie, replied the railroad detective.
 Then he leaned forward aud said to the farmer, Better take your money out of that necktie.'
 "'Who told you had money in my tie? demanded the farmer.
 The detective then explained that his actions in adjusting his neckwear led to the supposition. The farmer admitted that he had chosen the tie as the hiding place for a number of bills.
 His idea was all right concluded the detective. but he couldn't keep his hands off the cravat."

MOSES CALLED TO
 DELIVER ISRAEL
 Sunday School Lesson for June 2.l907 Specially Prepared for This Paper.

LESSON TEXT.-Exodus 3:1-H Msm- ory verses, 2-4.
 GOLDEN TEXT.-"And he said. Ger tainly will be with thee. ."-Exodus 3-l2.
 TIME. - According to the common chronology Moses left Egypt at the age of 70, B. c. 1532. His call was 70 years later, B. c. 1492 or 1493. Others place it nearer 1900 or even 12OO.
 PLACE.-The portion of the land of Mdian where Moses spent the 70 years was probably the southeastern part Of the Snaitic peninsula. The burning bush was on Mount Sinai. between the two arms of the Red sea. Sinia and Horeb are interchangeable terms, though some think Sinai to be one of the mountains in the mountain district called Horeb.
 RULERS.-The Pharaoh when Moses left Egypt was probably Rameses II. His son, Menephtah. was probably the Pharaoh when Moses was called to de- liver Egypt.
 Comment and Suggestive Thought.
 "The bush burning, yet not con sumed. has always been regarded as an emblem of Israel in Egypt. Moses, in his farewell blessing of the tribes, could find no richer benediction of the sons of Joseph than to wish for them the good will of Him that dwelt in the bush The Church of Scotland, therefore, has not made an inappro- priate or unwarranted use of this emblem, when, looking at her own history, how she was cradled in per secxtion, she has put upon her banner representation of the burning bush, with the legend: Nee tamen consurSe- batur,' Yet it was not consumed - w. NJ. Taylor.
 Moses Objections and Their An swers.-Vs. 11-14; also to Elk. 5:17. Moses may have known that Rameses II. had been succeeded by his son Menephtah, a much weaker ruler; but he understood thoroughly the mighty power of Egypt, and, conscious of his own insignificance, it is small wonder that he, began to bring forward objec- tions to Gods amazing proposal.
 First Objection, Moses lnsignifi- canoe. V. 2. "Who am l, that l shall go unto Pharaoh?" An exile under sentence of death, shepherd so years old going to magnificent court from which he had been absent 40 years. an old man attempting the stu pendous task of freeing 2,O0O,O0O slaves and organizing them into a nation. No wonder Moses faltered.

affectionate greeting, formed their plans for the campaign that was to mean so much to the world
 Practical Points.
 Every one has a work for which God sets him apart, as truly as Moses. No one else can do your work
 God does not always disclose q mans work early in life.
 Nothing is gained by moving ahead of Gods time, as Moses did in his first attempt. Too fast in music is as bad as too slow.
 God knows best how to prepare us for our life work
 If we are in the course of duty, Gods call to great things may come at any time. while We are about our cOmmonest tasks.
The Prescott daily news., 1907-06-01

First Answer, Gods rresence. v. 12. Certainly I will be with thee. " That same power before which Moses was hiding his face would go with him to confront his enemies.
 Second Answer, Gods purpose. "Ye shall serve God upon this noun tain" The fixing of that future meet ing place would serve to give confi- dence to Moses by showing reso- lute, clear purpose on the part of God. d."-Macgregor.
 Second Objection, the Peoples Idol atry. Is. Moses remembered how ig- norant the Hebrews were concerning the God of their fathers. When he brought them a message from God, they would be sure to ask: What is his name?" The Egyptians had vari- ous gods, and Israel, long used to their practices, would be sure to ask after the name of the God whose messen- ger Moses was. How was he to be named to them?"-Alford.
 Answer, the Name of the One God. If. What graven image or some outward symbol was to all other na- tions, that a name, and a name only, was to the Israelite e"-Hanna The name God revealed to Moses was not unknown before (Gen. 22:1l, but it was filled with a new meaning. T AM THAT I AM"
 Third Objection, the Peoples In credulity. Moses foresaw (Ex. 4:D that the people would not believe his story, and. as 40 years before, would refuse to follow his lead.
 Answer, the Gift of Miraculous Power. What is that in thine hand?' Jehovah asked; and bestowed upon the common shepherds staff the pow, CT to become serpent at the bid. ding of Moses, while the hand itself, thrust into his bosom, became white with leprosy, and thrust in again, be- came sound once more. One other miracle, the turning of water into blood. was definitely promised.
 Fourth Objection, Moses Slowness of Speech. Moses foresaw that the great task would require much talk. ing, and he was not an orator. An. swer: Who hath made mans mouth ?' was Jehovah's grand reply. Doubtless if Moses had accepted the assurance God would have developed the ora torical power that he certainly pos sessed, and he would not have been obliged to share with another the glory that God meant for him alone
 The Great Task Is Begun.-Ex. 4: 1881; chapters and 6. Obtaining Jethro's consent to his return, and leaving his wife and children in their safe home, Moses set out upon his perilous undertaking. He was met by Aaron. and the two old men, after ar

Montgomery, May 31--Little Rock closed a four-game engage ment in Montgomery this after noon by losing the deciding con- test of the series to the Senators by the Score of 6 to ,. The game was loosely and almost listleSsly played until the ninth, but from then until the end, which camein the locals half of the fourteenth inning, both teams showed cham pionship form.
 Tn the fourteenth, with one out, Houtz singled to left field, stole second and scored on the Hen lines bingle into Miller's terri tory, ending the long drawn-out contest and giving the Senators the series by three games to one.

SOUTH AND M'kINLEY.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
 The Gate City Guard of Atlanta has been invited to participate in the dedi- cation exercises of the Mckinley memorial at Canton, and in comment ing on the matter the Atlanta Consti- tuition recalls the fact that 1t was dur ing a visit to Georgia that Mckinley made This memorable declaration that the time had come when the nation should aid the south in taking care of the graves of Confederate soldiers" Again, the paper refers to the dead Presidents generous soul and his ten der feeling for the south.
 That he did much to heal the wounds caused by war and a century of strife is certain. The time was fortunate be- cause the states. discovered, discor dant, belligerent," had been steadily growing into new Union of the spirit and an external war served to hasten the growth and the fulfillment of that prophetic vision of Webster which was described with incomparable eloquence seventy years before. But the personal influence of the President while he held his high office was deeply felt and gladly recognized throughout the south
 He had what was of inestimable ad- vantage to him in his patriotic pur- pose a large acquaintance among southern statesmen with whom he had been on kindly terms for many years. The representatives of the new south, the VOunRer men inst coming into public life, were attracted by his evil dent sincerity. his unfailinS courtesy and lovable character. And as the comment we have quoted shows, the impression he made has been lasting His place in the hearts of the southern people is secure.

Rlslnq from Its Ashes,

Tt Is hard to tell that an earth quake had ever shaken San Francis CO., said Charles c. Looney, who has Just returned from trip through the western states which included prac- tically every city of importance on the Pacific slope. There Is an immense amount of building going on. but the city appears to be on a boom instead of the rebuilding of a destroyed DOT ton. The town Is livelier and buster than ever and Is growing rapidly. Los Angeles. Portland and the other large cities are doing equally as well, and none of them show any effects of the earthquake. Yellowstone park and a few other hilly places have large cracks in the ground as souvenir of the shake"
 When asked if the Yellow Peril'' disturbances which have occurred In the Canadian cities had affected the western cities, MT. Looney said, No, that trouble hasn't reached San Fran cisco or any of the other cities. Opinion out there seems to be that 1t was great overdrawn."

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Supplv and Demand.

If the statement published by the As sociated Press that ten men control the food supply qf the United States be true" remarked a man in the lobby, then the law of supply and demand becomes obso- lete, and one by one the old rules and laws are going out of date.
 We are told that the trust controls the prices that the farmer is to receive for his grain crop and the stock-raiser for his cattle, and names, too, the price that the consumer must pay for his bread and meat, presenting an enormous wide margin between the propositions. If bits be true 1t seems to me that it would be very easy matter for the producer and the consumer to come together and eliminate the trust Certain it is that there are many independent meat packers and it is true, also that they are charg- ing the same prices as the Chicago oe- topus. It Is difficult to understand why these cannot unite with the grain pro- ducers and the cattlemen and with the consumers re-apply the law of supply and demand"

HE SAW LINCOLN.
the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post.
 "On my last visit to Washington l called on President Lincoln at the White House." said Alexander Macdonald, of Dumfries, Scotland. at the Ebbitt house. q was then a young man, a reporter on a New York newspaper, and l had been sent by my managing editor to join the Army of the Potomac. When l reached Washington l went to the officer com mandng the troops stationed here and asked for a pass to cross the river The officer to whom l applied sent me to an- other one and the latter to some one else, until finally I got tired of tramping around
 "With another newspaper man I stroll cd up Pennsylvania avenue and sat down in the park opposite the White House. Then the thought occurred to me, Why not asl the President for a pass? ] spoke my thought to my companion who laughed at me, saying that l would be put out of the executive mansion if l went there Nevertheless. I was deter mined to try, and, being of foreign birth and possessing plenty of nerve, l walked over to the door of the President s house.
 ''I was closely scrutinized by the door keeper when 1 ascended the steps, and when I communicated my desire, was told that President Lincoln could not be seen. Not discouraged, l asked permission to go through the White House, which request was granted; that is, l was told l could go through certain rooms. l went Into the East room, and as l entered I saw approaching from the other end woman who seemed familiar with the place. With an indiscretion, you might call 1t, born of inexperience, I asked the lady some questions about the White House and was answered civilly enough. Then I asked if 1t were possible to see MT. Lincoln. The lady asked me my mission and I told her. She asked me to wait a moment and disappeared. Present ly she returned and told me that the President would see me. l was shown into the Presidents private office and there I saw man who appeared to me to be the most awkward and ungainly person I had ever seen, but when he arose and extended his hand I saw one of the most kindly faces it had ever been my privilege to behold
 Before I left I thought him the hand somest man l ever saw. Mir Lincoln chatted for few moments, and then wrote me out a pass. The lady who had carried my request to the President was Mrs. Lincoln. When I left the White House and went back to my newspaper friend, who was waiting in the park op posite, he would not believe that I had been successful until I showed him my pass, written in Llncoln's own handwrit ing. Ever since then I have had an af- lection for Washington"

Cotton Mills in 1907

Secretary Hester's annual report was delayed about two weeks by his Illness, but it is a document that loses no value on account of a small delay It is especially valuable because of it's facts and figures relating to Southern cotton mills. These facts and figures were secured by direct correspond ence, and they are undoubtedly trust worthy.
 There are S14 mills in the South that consume raw cotton, a gain of 20 in year. These mills contain 19,59S,- 095 spindles, as against 9,760 192 spin dies in the South one year ago. Here Is gain of S37, 1903 spindes in year This is certainly very satisfactory 10 the South as a whole.
 In Alabama there are 6S mills which contain 17,024 looms and SS7,SS2 spin dies. These spindles consumed in the last cotton year 239,091 bales, as against 239,SS5 bales consumed in the previous year. But the bales of 1906- or weighed 542 pounds, and so the consumption of the past year may have been the greater
 North Carolina is easily the premier m,l state in the South. She has 2S9 mills, and these mills consumed last year 733,6OS bales. The states pro- duction was but 663,000 bales. North Carolina, therefore, spins more cotton than she makes This honor will not soon be Alabamas, for our mills spin less than twenty per cent of our crop.
 The mills of the South took in the last cotton year 2,526,39O bales, while the northern mills took 2,439, ,108 bales. l, is still a pretty close race, for Fall River and New Bedford are still add ing spindles freely to a huge aggre- gate. The South is to be, however a winner in the long run.

CHINESE OPIUM SMOKERS.

From Success.
 The casual observer may think that tho opium traffic-smuggling opium. smoking opium and eating opium-is a minor trade, and indulged in by only a few reckless habitues who want to be waited to other worlds This is not so The stamina and the character of the entire Chinese race have already been so sapped by this drug that the resulting demoralization has frightened even the degraded victims of the habit.
 Today China, drugged, debauched frightened at her own desperate condition, Is graphing with the vice that has her by the throat. No such heroic effort at moral reform has ever before been made by a human government. And the Chris tians who debauched her are looking on. skeptically, question China's sincerity"
 At Tienstin. where the Chinese officials had closed all the opium dens in the na- tive city, MT. Merwin found the dens in the foreign concessions, licensed for rev. enue by the foregn consuls, running wide open. In vain the Chinese officials pro- tested that this laxity completely nulli- fled the effect of their own prohibition. The consuls could not see their way clear to give up the revenue. Truly, it is an extraordinary story.
 The most conservative officials esti1- mate of the opium-smoking population in China is 100, GOO, OO0-only 16,0O0, 900 more than the entire population of the United ] States. Many officials place the list at 150, ,0O0,O 900.
