The Wise Use of Mistakes.

1t Is not the chipping off of the dia-
mond's surface that polishes the dia-
mond, but it is by the wise use of the
diamond dust or clippings, In the hands
of skilled lapidary, that the dia-
monds polish Is finally secured. 1t is
not the making of mistakes that makes
a man, but it is the wise use of mis-
takes that enables man to be made
to become polished man in his best
sphere Whenever we see the light and
glow Of beautiful character, we may
know that Its Illuminating power came
through its slow polishing by its own
diamond dust, at the hands Of the Great
Lapidary.-H. Clay Trumbull.

love we shall know the secret of life.

We seek rest to-day-may we find 1t.
We want soul refreshment after the toll

the springs of our nature so that there
shall arise in us Joy that nothing on

tianity, but on Christ. Mark that little
but great word "on." 1t is not enough
TO believe sin" Christ Jesus Millions
Of unconverted people believe in Jesus,
Just as they believe in Howard as a
noble philanthropist, or in Newton as a
teacher of science. But they do not
trust their souls to Jesus. When a
miner looks at the rope that is to lower
him into the deep mine, he may coolly
say, 4 have faith in that rope as WELL
made and strong" But when he lays
hold Of it, and swings down by it into
the tremendous chasm, then he Is be-
lieving on the rope. 1t is not a mere
opinion-it is an act. The miner just
lets go of everything else and bears
his whole weight on those well-braided
strands Of hemp. Now that is faith.
And when a human soul lets go every
other reliance in the wide universe and
hangs entirely upon the atoning Jesus,
that soul believes on Christ-Rev. T.

MAY SAPP INQUEST
WHITLoW ADMITS SECRET MEET
INGs BEFORE TRAGEDY.
CONFESSED TO SYMPATHETIC WIFE
swears During All Their Visits He
Never caressed Her-Tried
to Avoid Her.

lola, Kas., oct 10.-The story of q
woman's love turned to hate after the
man she loved had repulsed her ad-
vances for two years, and the horrible
sequel in the suicide Of the girl, who
died rather than live without the man
she worshipped at a distance, was told
by Samuel F. Whitlow here Wednes-
day at the coroner's inquest over the
body of Miss May Sapp, who. he testi-
fed, cut her throat in her own yard
last Friday night after he had refused
to leave his wife and family for her.
Whitlow stated that his wife and
himself had occupied separate rooms
for five years, as she is an invalid.
He stated that he took his wife into
his confidence some time ago relative
to the persistent attentions of Miss
Sapp, and together they tried to find
some way of escaping her.
He testified that he tried to reason
with her and have her go with some
one who was single and who loved her
but she declared she must have his
love or die. He admitted that he met
her often after that to talk over the
matter with her. but denied that she
ever embraced him or that her hands
ever touched him except in the COM
monplace handshake.
He states that toward the last she
commenced to come to his house and
scratch on the window or knock at his
door to get him outside. He says on
two occasions he took his gun and
fred shots in the air to throw his wife
OF the scent, and that he would then
talk to Miss Sapp for a few minutes.
Whitlow testified that the effect OF
the mental strain on his system was
plainly evident and manifested itself
in his face, showing to his wife and
others that he was either i'll or had
some weighty trouble. Finally, at the
solicitations of his wife, he said he
told her ALL and she sympathized with
him.
He said on the night of the fatal af-
fair Miss Sapp met him and entreated
him to go away with her, and that he
refused in, perhaps, heated manner.
The suicide followed, he says.

New York, Oct. 10.--Some idea OF

was gained Wednesday when Frank b.

of haru work on the books at 20
Broadway, have produced tabulated
statements, comparatively simple, but
complicated enough to stagger the lay
mind.
Kellog placed Clarence G. Fay, as
sistant comptrolled of the Standard of
New Jersey on the stand and CUES
toned him regarding the figures. 1t
was shown that over s500,O00,009 In
dividends have been paid by STANDARD

existence.
Fay, who has been at the head OF
the comptroller's Office for six months
during the absence of his chiefs, de-
MED knowledge of what any figures
might mean except when they spoke
for themselves. and, this, Kellogg said,
was seldom. The federal inquisitor
however, made short work of getting
into the record the meaning and pnr-
port of the statistics.
