BELIEF IN PRAYER.
BY Jenkin Lloyd Jones

| believe in prayer because 1t is in
evitable; it is the accompaniment Of
life; we can avoid 1t only by vacating
our human nature, Prayer is akin to
that which impels the germ to seek the
light, which bursts the bud into flower
and kisses the flower into fruit. 1t is
that which gives wings to the chrysalis.
I see it in the hungry eyes Of the dog
as he looks into the face of his mas
ter it is that which Wreathes the adOr-
ing face Of the babe in the mothers
arms.
| believe in prayer because it Is help
full it is justified by experience. Pray
ers are answered not according to the
impatience Of the human but according
to the calm Of God; we get not what
we ask but what we need. All deeds
are first thoughts. Desire is the mold
into which life pours its energies. Our
warnings are the rungs on the trestle
board according to which the structure
of our lives IS shaped God is in every
cry that goes God-ward.
believe in prayer because it is rea
sonable, it Is philosophic. True phil
osophy is not a scheme Of thinking, but
it is recognition of the facts Of life,
a discovery OF things as they are. The
inevitable IS philOsophic

Making Alcohol ON the F.r


Inc internal revenue commissioner
mas prepared for public USE docu-
ment giving the regulations for manu-
facturing denatured alcohol from waste
products on the farm. and no doubt the
Department Of Agriculture will follow
up the matter with bulletins in the
popular educational form. Making
cheap alucohol for fuel, power and light
IS a great industry on the German
farms, and takes considerable part in
the German advance in manufacturing
and commerce. French farmers also
nave made progress in the business
some own their own stills and others
depend on travelling distilIers. The
waste or wine, fruit and beet gcow!ng
Is chiefly relied on, potato crops cost
ing more In France than in Germany.
At the beginning of the year the tax
on the manufacture of denatured al
cohol was removed, but the advantages
predicted are not yet visible to any
extent. Time is required to grasp the
practical details Of the change. Ameri-
can farms raise more marketable crops
than any other and have a greater va
rlety OF waste and by-prOductS Alec
hol can be distilled from corncobs and
like material and is said to be superior
TO gasoline for fuel. The authorities
at Washington are giving thought TO
what can be accomplished in it's lnanu
facture by individual farmers or groups
OF farmers, and the industry, when
fairly set in motion, will take the place
anticipated. The uses of a cheap, eff
Gent fuel are not in doubt. An active
campaign by the Department of Agri-
culture will give denatured alcohol the
start needed.-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

Quick Wit I'm War.

Much of the success of Colonel Mos
by and his partisan rangers in the
Shenandoah valley was due to their
amount to the quick wit of their lead
err who, says the author of 'Mosby' s
Men," was never at a loss to turn q
situation to his own advantage.
One night, while scouting with four
or five Of his men on the Winchester
pike, he saw a squad of cavalry ap-
preaching from the direction Of town.
1t was the Federal patrol on Its
rounds, and Mosby and his men were
between them and their camp. When
they got within hail they stopped and
inquired Of the COnferedateS who they
were:
Friends, with the countersign," re-
piled Colonel Mosby, with his best imi-
tation Yankee twang.
"One of you advance. then, and give
the countersign," was the response.
NO. said the colonel, sharply, you
are coming from the direction of the
enemy. One of you advance
AS this was an entirely correct prop
osition, one of them rode forward
When he came up, the colonel said to
him in low, but terribly distinct
voice, as he leveled his revolver at
him:
Give the alarm and you are dead
man. l am Mosby. Call to the others
that it is all right and to come on"
The prisoner did so. and five more
of Uncle Sans gallant defenders
marched confidently up to the muzzles
of as many reyolvers and quietly sur
rendered.

Worry is wicked because it causes

infidelity as to the wise and loving
providence overruling life's forces, 1t
prevents our doing our own work, and
it irritates and hinders others.
