During the Lenten season the rector
is preaching two courses of special
sermons, one at the morning services
IN the history of the Episcopal church
in this country, and one at the evening
services on 1.-THE Reasonableness of
Christianity" The course at the
morning services is chiefly for those
who are E~piscopalians or who are in
terested in the development of the
Episcopal church in this country, and
is very instructive and equally popular.
The course at the evening service is for
all people of whatever creed Oh shade
of belief, and is bringing forth splendid
results. The first in this course was on
"Belief in God" and was preached two
Sunday nights ago. The second in
this course will be given next Sunday
evening, and the topic will be "From
God to Christi The seats are all free,
and everybody is welcome. The
number of men attending these services
is remarkable. Come and bring a

A Veteran Conductor

One of the Oldest and most popular
conductors of the West Jersey and Sea-
shore Railroad is g. A. J. johnson, of
the Wildwood Branch, who began his
career as conductor of the construction
train on the Maurice River railroad
while it was. being built and nineteen
years ago was transferred and run the
first passenger train into Five Mile
Beach where he continues still, and is
well known by all the citizens of the
Island towns and to thousands of its
habitues. . He recounts with pleasure
the many and rapid changes that have
transpired from year to year in the
phenomenal growth and prosperity
which has transformed the entire beach
and will forest into one of the loveliest
panoramas of beauty and bustling
activity to be found on the Atlantic
coast. Conductor Johnson is not only
a thorough reliable veteran railroad
man but is a highly esteemed citizen
and interested in every movement fol
the progress and betterment and
identifying of the entire beach. Time
has dealt gently with him and wehope
that he will handle the punch to the
full time limit.-Star of the Cape.

Legree, Marks and even of Uncle Tom
himself. She couldn't fail to be the
whole show, and In four weeks she
would rise from "Uncle Toms Cabin"
to Shakespearean plays. The old lady
believed what she said, and the young
lady believed with her. Hiram Ball
tried his best to open his tiancee's eyes.
"Your grandmother is a foolr' was
his blunt way of putting it. Because
you can smile and giggle is no sign
You just give up the idea and settle
down and behave yourself"
"Mr. Ball, l permit no II to speak
disrespectfully of my grandmother in
my presence" replied the young lady,
with freezing dignity, as she took three
strides to the east and then turned
about and took three strides to the
west.
Hattie Stebbins, don't make a jay
of yourself. You'll never be an actress
any more than I'll be Cicero. 1t hain't

"Speak for yourself, Mr.. Ball. My
resolution is taken. 1t is %irrevocable.
Nothing hat you can say will shake
me in the least. Destiny calls me-"
"What, do you mean to tell me that
you are going to be silly enough to go
on the stageY' he shouted.
Remember whom you are address
ing, varletr' she warned as she drew
herself up.
"By gum, but you have gone crazyi
That old grandmother of yours ought
to be ducked in the goose pond. What
does she know about actingT'
Enough, sir! Here our paths d.
verge. From this hour we are stran-
gers"
''Then go right along and make a
fool of yourself!' called Hiram as she
turned away.
When the grandmother was inform
ed of the insidious remarks of Mr..
Ball she held out new encouragement.
She discovered new things to found
new predictions on. The very way
that Miss Hattie climbed a fence, fell
down ON the lawn or ran into a clothes
line proved 10 her that the girl was
born for the stage and had been mol
dering In obscurity.

II ROAD TO
FAME
By ALBERT HIGGINS
Copyright. 1905, by P. C. Eastment
BY ALBERT HIGGINS

1t was Grandma Foster who was to
blame for 1t. She came on a visit to
her daughter, Farmer Stebbins' wife,
and found her niece Hattie teaching
the district school-and engaged to be
married to a worthy young man named
Hiram Ball. Miss Hattie was fairly
educated, fairly good looking and very
well contented with her life.
Grandma's coming, however, started
the fires of ambition. Once during her
long life the old lady had attended a
theatrical performance. 1t was in the
town hall of her native village. The
play was "Uncle Toms Cabin" of
course, and the company was made up
of transformers, but ii was a great
play, and 1t made grandma, who was
only a little girl then, thrill from top
to toe.
Soon after her arrival at the Steb-
binses Hattie walked across the yeran-
da in a way that made the old lady
exclaim:
"Bless my soul If that don't remind
me of Ophelia in Uncle Toms Cabinv
You've got her walk to perfection.
Child, have you been practicing for the
stage?"
mo, grandma"
"But the way you just turned around,
your looking back at me with your
head over your shoulder, your smile,
he way you stick up your chin, all re
mind me of Ophelia. You could step
right on the stage and play the charac-
ter"
That was the beginning: Grandma
announced her great discovery to her
sister and brother-in-law and advised
them to put Hattie on the stage at
once; but, meeting with decided oppo-
sition, she said nothing further to
them. Many were the councils held
between her and the niece, however.
1t had been forty-two years since
grandma had seen the historic play
and what she couldn't remember she
imagined. Within a week she had de-
clded that Hattie could not only play
the part of OpheIia, but of little Eva,

Wildwood, N. j.

Dear Sirs: We asked City Drug Co.,
Crystal Springs, Miss, to sell Devoe.
They wanted to know, of their own
knowledge, how it compared with
another paint they knew all about-it
was sold right there and considered
good.
They painted the house of w. b.
McCluney two coats on purpose to test
the two paints against one-another: one
coat Devoe 8 gallons; the other coat
that other paint 10 gallons. Difference
$50; 81 for paint, S13 for labor.
That other paint is made in New
Orleans; is pure; is considered an ex-
cellent paint, and has a good deal of
local goodwill.
But the standard of paint has been
low all through the southwest. That
paint is thin; it is, you see, six-tenths
of a paint. Devoe saves $50 over it on
half a small job.
1t is a case of local best compared
with actual best.
Yours truly,
Is f. w. DEvoE & Co.

Adam Knew the Flood Was Coming

Adam Knew the Flood Was Coming.
An a%pocryphal book called the LESS
err Genesis and well known to the
early Christian fathers tells a wonder
full incident in the life of Seth, the
third son of Adam and Eve. When
the goodly Seth was about forty years
of g he was 'rapt" up into heaven
by a trio of angels and there told and
shown what was in store for mankind.
Among other things, the coming of the
great deluge vas made kno'Yn to him,
as was also the coming of tie Saviour.
When he returned to earth, Seth told
his parents what had happened and of
what he had seen and heard concern
ing the future of the human race. and
Adam was much grleyed when it was
made known to him that the world
would be destroyed by water on ac-
count of the wickedness Of his own
children, but a great peace and calm
ness came over him when Seth told
how the face of the earth would again
be r%epeopled. y : . His joy was ex-
ceedingly great when Seth related
what was in store in the coming ages,
and he was particularly glad to know
that redemption should finally come
through Jesus, the Christ"

final blow and split the evil wide open.
"How are the finances of your coun-
try under local optiOn?" 1 asked him.
Excellent" he exclaimed. "Far
better than they have ever been. AS
sessable property has almost doubled
value. Weare making public improve
ments all over the county, appropri-
ating more money to our schools, max
ing them better. and we are not com
PEELED to borrow a cent for anything.
We are spending $50, 900 in the county
this year, as against $4,000 last year
and we are better able to- do it"
"What is your county tax rate?" [
asked.
"Lower this year than it ever has
been-about "a cents, " he said. "That
means the whole county tax. you un-
derstand. We do not levy separate
taxes as you do, such as school, county
etc., but we levy a general tax, at a
certain rate, and then appropriate out
of the whole fundfor several purposes.
Chow do you account for this i'm

asked.
''It costs us practically nothing to

Presently one of Maryland's prominent

has not worked any harm to your pros
porous conditions"
Each of them quickly answ cred me
that local option is of immeasureable
benefit to every condition, public and
private, when the politician spoke up.
Said he, "My dear sir, the elimina

here in Salisbury, and they almost rar

A Talk With Me. |. S. Powell.

The firm of K. E. Powell & Co., is
one of the largest in Salisbury. They
do business of between 5000, 600 and
$500, 900 year, and their place of bus
mess would be a credit to any city in
the country. I met Mr.. I. S. Powell,
of the firm, and said to him:
'Mr. Powell, the saloon element is
claiming that local option Injuries busi-
ness. What have you TO say about
that?"
''The man who says that does not
know what he is talking about" said
he, 'and to the intelligent business
man makes himself absurd. We were
met with lthat same cry right here in
Salisbury. Business men declared
that local option would kill the town.
Well instead of that there is nota busi-
ness in town that has not vastly in
creased. Business was never so pros
porous as it has been in the past two
years under local option.
"How about the morals of the town?'
l asked.

we'll kept streets, and handsome stores
= but nothing impresses a visitor more
than its thrift. The spirit of prosper

whole community. 1t is truly bust
ness town, a booming town, a town
filled with live people. 1t is a town
conspicuous for the absence of idle
ness, and the presence of industry; a
town that has, in the interest of pros
perity and morality, driven the saloon
out, and stands ready and willing to
refute any assertion in favor of the
saloon, which the whiskey element
may make.
Every man I met there, and talked
with scores of them on the subject,
told me that local option is the greatest
blessing that ever came to Salisbury.
