A THING THAT DOESN'T PAY.

A minister in q northern iowa toWil
took leave of his congregation and
the townspeople generally after 2
fashion, happily not in great vogue.
Saturday, previous to the delivery Of
his farewell sermon, the following day
he caused handbills to be distributed
over town stating that he would take
for his farewell topic, 4The Devil Has
ia Mortgage On the Churches Of Blank
town. This insured him an excellent
audience-such announcements usually
draw the crewd-and the preacher
made his announcement good. The un-
ragenerate sat In high delight while the
church members sat for their pictures
under the unsparing lens of the minis
Ater's eloquence and went home with
- SNUG, pharisaical feeling that
fhet were worse people in the world
than themselves, while the members"
took offense and made denial Of the
moral, social and religious dereliction
with which they we're freely and OPEN
" charged.
This is one Of the things that do not
pay people or preachers. i there is q
time when the failings Of the congre-
gatinn should be chalked up In black
and white for Its own and the parusal
of others, 1t would seem that It is
while the pastor has charge and not on
the eve Of departure. The shepherd
should mot throw the hooks into' his
CONGREGATION but use his crook while
he retains that symbol and useful i'm
plement Of his office and opportunity.
The lack Of tact displayed in the final
sermon is to many minds highly sug-
gestive of the causes Of which it was
an effect.
When a school teacher, preacher, or
leader of one kind or another finds
himself out of harmony with the flock
he is supposed to lead the best thing
Tor all concerned. is to quit quietly and
without row. The organization or So
ciety is more than the petty personal
satisfaction of telling others what we
think Of them.

Hi. Last Words.

Rear Admiral Coghlan, commandant
of the Brooklyn navy yard, whose rep
utation as a relator Of good stories has
increased each time he has spoken at
a dinner, told story few nights ago
which was given to illustrate his dis
taste for being the last speaker.
Having the last word" the rear
admiral said, reminds me Of story /
heard not long ago.
"A certain man died and clergy
man was engaged to offer eulogy.
This worthy minister prepared a SER
mon of exceeding length and strength,
but just before he entered the parlor to
deliver it he thought that it might be
advisable to learn what the dead mans
last words had been. So he turned to
one of the weeping younger sons, and
asked:
"sMy boy, can you tell me your
fathers, last words?
"He didn't have none the boy re-
piled. Ma was with him to the end :"

LincoIn's Faith.

when Abraham Lincoln began to
feel the burden of the nation resting
upon him, and felt it too great bur-
den for him to carry unaided, he want
ed the sympathy of all men and women
in the country who with him believed
in Power directing the course of hui
man history greater, than the actors in
it, and who also believed in Power
directing the course of human history
greater than the actors in it, and who
also believed in eternal justice; and he
asked their prayers. AS the conflict
went on, and the burden grew heavier
and heavier, his faith in Righteousness
more and more infused his belief in a
superhuman power and transformed 1t
into belief in a righteous God; but
it was till the last belief in a God Of
justice rather than Christ of pity,
even as it phrased itself In That most
religious utterance of his life his sec
ond inaugural: 'Fondly do we hope,
fervently do we pray, that this mighty
scourge Of war may speedily pass

GET IN DEBIT.

Men should be in debt for four rea-
sons: First, to establish credit
against the time that he may need
credit Then, If misfortune comes sud-
denly in any form, there is a credit es-
tablished to tide over the financial
stringency. If man never has asked
or never has received credit, but has
always had the cash on hand to pay his
bills as he contracts them, the first
time that credit is asked suspicion is
aroused as to the condition of the
mans finances. Second to lay the
foundations for reputation for hon
esty and honorableness. Third, debt
is recognized as being one of the
strongest incentives to work on the
part of any man. When there is bill
to meet the household economics are
regulated to the emergency of assist
ing in meeting the bills, and the man
has force which impells him to
greater efforts. Fourth, debt gains ac-
quaintances and forces many people to
remember you.

Flying Thru a Flood.

(Army and Navy Journal)
A story is told about the first run
which the now famous Twentieth Cen
fury limited train made from New
York to Chicago. The story goes that
when the fireman lowered the chute
which scoops up water from between
the rails and fills the reservoir in the
tender he failed to gauge correctly the
capacity of the tank, and the water,
overfiowing. ran thru the full length OF
the vestibuled train, so powerful was
the force which impelled it against he
door of the first coach.
The railroad company sought to rem
edy this trouble, and on the next run
blind coach, one without door OPP
ening next to the engine, was used.
This proved to be a prevention OF the
flood trouble.
One night, after the Twentieth Gem
tury had made name for itself. a
tramp climbed aboard the platform Of

MILITIA MAY BE SENT.
Determined to Stop Betting on Racing
at Hot Springs.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. March 9-The ap-
parent defiance of the new anti-racing law
at the Oaklawn track in Hot Springs has
resulted in a spirited protest by citizens OF
that city to the executive department of
the state today. Gov. Moore has been
called on for assistance In an enforcement
of the law, and today gave out the fol-
lowing interview:
Whether or not betting on horse races Is
wrong is no longer question in Arkansas.
A Jaw recently enacted says 1t Is wrong,
and IL l had the power l would see that
this law would be enforced without fear or
favor, and would call out the militia If
necessary The matter Is now up TO the
legislature. The executive department of
this state will give citizens of Hot Springs
all aid possible"
1t is understood concurrent resolution
will be offered In the legislature Monday
empowering the governor to send militia to
Hot Springs to prevent further racing
there.
