"How long wilt thou mourn
for Saul, seeing have rejected
him from reigning over Israeli"
The prophet Samuel needed
to be aroused from his personal
grief and disappointment to an
appreciation of the larger pur-
poses and plans of God. These
are never limited to the meas
ure of a human life. One per-
son to whom a work has been
assigned may fail, but there is
always another to take up the
task and carry it to successful
conclusion. There is little profit
in lingering owe the. ship
wrecked life. Rather, there is
need to lift the eyes in hope to
the future, that the one to whom
God has assigned the unfinished
task or the vacant place may
be discovered. Samuel was per-
hitting the grief of his own
heart to hinder his seeing and
feeling in harmony with God's
will. The larger vision is need
ed to break the power Of the
natural impulses of the heart
and fife. 1t is hard to give up
friends in whom have conferred
u ideals and hopes, but 1t
must be done when the Divine
will so indicates. Samuel must
cease to look backward. He
must look to the promise of the
future.
"For the Lord seeth not as
man seeth; for man looketh on
the outward appearance, but the
Lord iooketh IN the heart."-A
statement full of comfort to the
one whose heart is open to-
wards God and the currents of
whose life r running parallel
to the Divine will, but one full
of disconcerting thought to the
person whose heart harbors
wrong thoughts and desires and
covers up the hidden impulses
of life, so that the outward con-
duct is but the snowy veneer
put on for appearances sake.
Mans vision is but skin deep,
and the man he sees is not the
man God sees as his aII-seeing
eye penetrates the veneer and
uncovers the real man within.
God looketh upon the heart, be-
cause out of the heart are the
issues of life. AS a man think
eth so is he; that is, as a man
is in his heart so is his life
bound to be and ultimately that
life will stand revealed before
men, no matter how cleverly the
veneer of pretense is applied.
To the hypocrite, the pretender,
the person of the double life,
the thought that God sees be-
hind the mask should make one
pause and take knowledge of
his ways; should lead him to re-
pent and to get the heart right
with God.
There is comfort in the
thought of God looking on the
heart and knowing what is
there to the person, who, mis-
understood and m%isiudged by
those about him, has tried with
the purest motives to do his
best, even though he has blum
dered and fallen short of per-
feet standards, yet he knows
that God understands and &C
cepts the life and the service
not for what it has been, but
for what it has intended to be.
God saw in the boy David tho
future man, latter his own
heart" and he sees in you and
me not so much what we are,
but what we can become by his
grace.

Mercury Lower in price.

Though nearly all the metals have
risen in price, mercury has fallen.
This is due. says the Engineering and
Mining Journal, to the decline Of the
process of pan amalgamation for
working silver ore. Gold mines util-
ize very small quantities of mercury.
The two great consumers are China
and Japan, where it. Ia utilized for

Many Deer in japan.

Deer are relatively numerous in va
rious parts of Japan, and in such show
places as Maru and Miyajima are held
as sacred, becoming so tame as to eat
from the hands of visitors. They are
generally smaller in size than the
American deer.

1t is not what is outside of us that
colors our lives; it is what is inside of
us. Look through a piece of blue glass,
and the whole world is blue. The eye
is a very small point-that is, the part
of it through which the light enters to
reach the optic nerves. just as a penny
held close to the eye will shut out the
world around and the whole universe, so
will a small inner purpose modify all
that comes to the average life.

God does not require that our work
shall succeed, or even that we shall
complete it. He only asks us to labor.
One who dies leaving his task unfinish-

leisure to complete his work entirely.

Professional estimators are getting the
present cotton crop down to as low as
100000 bales. If these figures are
anything near correct the people of Mis-
sissippi should get twenty cents for ev-
cry pound of cotton raised this year. At
any rate the crop is necessarily short of
what the world demands, and fifteen
cents looks like a certainty. Study the
reports carefully and market cotton in
an intelligent manner.

The Farmers Union continues to build
warehouses. The papers of the State
bring to the front new applications for
charters every week. This is one of the
greatest movements ever started for the
sensible handling of our great money
crop, cotton, and will revolutionize the
business if these establishments are
numerous enough to care for the surplus.
Push the movement until every county in

1t is regrettable hat such vermin infest
our State, but if they are here, arrange
to counteract any devilment that may
be attempted. Under our laws all men
are guaranteed a free ballot and a fair
count. Exercise the privilege of voting

The religious side must come first,
as the inspiration to perform our du-
ties toward men. Love to God our
Father will necessarily lead to love to
our fellow men, his children.
When our hearts are filed with love
to God and man, then they are no
longer restraints, but guides as to the
way u love should express itself.
They are like fences by the roadside,
showing us the way to 90.
These commandments are to CON
vince us of sin. AS we stand beside
this ideal we realize how far short we
have come.

WESTON WALKED
TO BOOST WAGES
VETERAN EXPLAINS WHY HE
STARTED AT HIS AGE TO
BREAK RECORD.

Chicago, Dec. 2.-Edward Payson
Weston last night cleared up a great
mystery and explained why he walked
from Maine to Chicago. In all Of the
discussion that followed his tour from
one end Of the country to the other
the chief question that was asked by
the plain citizen was:
What Is he making the trip to ac-
complish?"
Walks to increase Wages.
It was pointed out that the chief
end Of man in most cases was to
avoid walking and that the average
man rather sought the means to climb
into an automobile than to develop
prowess upon the wayside roads. Mr..
Weston, at the Illinois Athletic club.
thus explained why he had come
across the continent without contrib
utlng to the gross receipts of the
eighteen hour trains:
''For the last five years have been
lecturing twenty weeks out of each
year at 5000 a week. received an
offer from the same people that if /
would make this trip they would
make a new contract for three years
at $500 a week for twenty weeks of
the year"
Benefit for Weston Postponed.
The benefit that was scheduled to
have been given for the aged pedes-
trian did not take place at the Gar
rick yesterday. Mr. Weston said that
pending decision of the suit Of D. A
Patten, who had attached the receipts
of the benefit under the contention
that he had contract to manage Mr.
Weston, he would not put the Illinois
Athletic club in the awkward attitude
of being held up in court by such a
suit.
He retained Attorneys Lawrence &
Folsom to go before the court today
and seek to have dissolved the re-
straining order secured by Mr.. Patten
he said last night that the only con.
tract that Mr.. Patten ever had with
him was to manage him for one lee.
ture in New York state.
After the suit is settled IN my
favor as ! hope and believe, I will
have benefit. probably at the Illinois
Athletic club. said the mighty walker
of the period.

ALLISON AT
THE CAPITAL
LOOKS BETTER THAN HE HAS
FOR YEARs--READY FOR
WORK.

Washington, d. c., Dec. O. Senator
William B. Allison Of Iowa, looking
better than he has for several years,
is in Washington for the coming ses-
sion of congress and was greeted by
many friends. not only In the capitol,
but upo nthe streets, where he is fa-
miliar figure. Speaking Of the fnan-
senate committee on appropriations.
said: &
~ think it likely. the present trouble
will be over in ten days. II 1t contin-
ues then it will be,necessary to enact
some measures providing for emem-
gency currency.
Discussing the subject of asset or
credit currency along the lines pro-
posed by the Fowler bill, Senator ALI
son said he thought it doubtful wheth-
er congress woud pass any bill Of this
sort He said he thought any emer-
gency currency would have to be one
that was safely guarded" BY this, 1t
is presumed, Senator Allison refers to
currency that will have some form Of
bonds as security for it, though he
said he was not prepared fully at this
time to say what safeguards he would
require.
AS to legislation modifying the ma
tional banking laws. Senator Allison
does not believe any will be enacted
at this session.
He says, however. that a modinca-
tion of the existing pan, whereby
great sums in bank reserves find their
way into few central reserve cities.
Is a subject that might properly be
gone into by congress, though he does
not expect 1t at this session.
1t is noticeable that Senator Alli-
sons position as to asset or credit
currency Is substantially the same as
that of President Roosevelt, who like
wise does not sanction the plan of an
emergency currency based on the gen
eral assets of the banks.
President Roosevelt has advised
with Senator Allison by letter as to
currency legislation. Now that Sena-
tor Allison is here, he and the Presi-
dent undoubtedly will hold important
conferences on this subject 1t is a.
most certain that Senators Aldrich
and Allison, one the head of the f.
nance committee and the other the
second ranking member, will have a
great share in the fashioning of any
currency legislation that may pass the
Isenate and get through congress.
