Are We Faithful

Did you ever think that Christ trusts
you and depends upon you? You trust
Him and you know that He will never
fail you. Not one Of His words ever
can pass away. You may lean upon
Him in time of danger, and He will
sustain you, hold you up. But do you
ever think that He trusts you also? He
gives you duty, and He depends upon
you to perform it. He set you to be
His witness at some point, and He ex-
poets you to be loyal, faithful, even
unto death. He sends some one to be
guarded by you, cared for, guided, pro-
tected. Are you always faithful to
your trust?

Traffic Men in Conference

Chicago, March 9.-Trafic men
from every part of the country west Of
Chicago are gathered here in confer
ence regarding transcontinsntal rates.
The general situation is being gone
over and the result. it is said, will be
q large number of changes in the rates
and in the minimum weights, which
will increase railroad revenues in
nearly all the territory. It has al
ready been practically decided to
make an increase in minimum weights
allowed in carloads, which will in
itself materially increase the revenue
from freight cars.

PASS PRIMARY Law
sFNATE and House ENACT CON.
FERENCE MEASURE.
House Passes General Appro.
nriation Bill, Carrying Over
Six Million Dollars, az Little
More than Double Appropria-
lions Two Years Ago.

Olympia, March 12.-With But one
NEGATIVE vote the senate last night
nassed the direct primary bill agreed
mon by the free conference committee
Of the house and senate. The only
amendment adopted of much import
ance was that offered by Senator Ruth,
who moved that third class cities be
included in the provisions of the bill.
As the bill came in it excluded third
and fourth class cities.
Olympia, March 13.-Without a
dissenting vote the primary bill was
nssscd by the house of representatives
Yesterday. 1t now goes to the COVER
nor for his signature, which will per-
feet one of the important pieces of
legislation of the present session.
There was practically no discussion
of the measure, the report of the con-
ference being accepted without hest
fancy.
Olympia, March 13.-Shortly after
the senate, despite the cry of extrava-
gance, had passed the omnibus ap-
preparation bill it was transmitted to
the house and the house concurred in
the senate amendments, which we're
few and comparatively unimportant.
Perhaps the most important was that
increasing the salary of the state land
commissioner from $4,000 to So, 600 a
year.
The branch soldiers home bill that
passed the senate after the general
appropriation bill carries an appro-
priation of $5O,OOO which was not in
the omnibus bill.

VOLCANIC ACTIVITY
ON AkUTAN ISLAND

Seattle, March 14.-According to
advices received here yesterday the
volcano on Akutan island, of the Aleu-
tan archipelago, off the Alaskan Pc
ninsula, after several years of inactiv-
ity, is again in eruption. >. E.
Thwaites, mail clerk on the steamship
Dora, running from Unalaska to Val
dez, sends the Post Intelligencer a
brief but vivid description of the erup-
ton, which occurred, or was observed,
February %, and was accompanied
by earthquake shocks. He says:
GAS the Dora passed the island Feb
1uary % the volcano presented a mag
nificent spectacle. The conditions
for witnessing the awe-inspiring sight
were perfect. It was O'Clock in the
morning. Boring sea was as smooth
as glass and the night was inky black.
Suddenly as the ship rounded bold,
high headland the beautiful sight
burst into view.
Although it was a. m. all Sleep
ing officers and passengers were awak-
ened and crowded the deck, where
they remained for hours watching the
phenomenon. The amount of flame
visible was not constant, there seem.
ing to be a maximum and minimum
stage, each recurring about every
twelve minutes.
Shortly before this occurrence,
Unalaska. but few miles distant, was
shaken by an earthquake of great in
tensity. No damage of any account
resulted as all of the buildings are
very low and strongly built.
Mount Makashin volcano, q few
miles to the westward of Unalaska,
has been active of late, and it would
surprise no one if on the next trip of
the Dora it were learned that old
Mount Shishaldin, near Unamak, was
in activity"
Another correspondent writes that
the residents of Unalaska say that the
earthquake shocks were the most Sc
we're and of longer duration than any
ever experienced before on the island.

From Whom Life Comes.

Be still and cool in thy own mind
and spirit from thy own thoughts, and
then thou wilt feel the principle of God,
to turn thy mind to the Lord God, from
whom life comes; whereby thou mayest
receive His strength and power to allay
all clustering storms and tempest. That
is it which works up into patience, into
innocency, into soberness, into stiffness,
into stayedness, into Quietness, ND to
God with His power.

A Queer Play In Baseball.

Here is a play In baseball that hap
pened long ago. Perhaps 1t never will
happen again. Did any one ever hear
OF a base runner scoring from first
base on a line drive that was caught
nv a third baseman and when the ball
never left the third baseman's hand2
The play happened in this way: Andy
MCMILLAN was playing third base for
the Pastimes Of Chicago in 1868 when
a tournament was held. The Occiden--
tails of Peoria were the opposing team
In the first inning, with runner on.

over third. Moynihan showed up his
hand. the ball struck 1t and stuck fast
In the hand. The crowd cheered. An
instant later they saw something was
wrong. Moynihan, writing with pain.
was running around third base. The
base runner at first saw something was
fhe matter and ran down to second.
Then he ran to third and finally trotted
home unmolested.
The trouble was that the ball. strik-
ing Moynihan's hand. paralyzed the
nerves. The ball was stuck tight In
hia hand. It was I'VE minutes before
his fellow players could pry his fingers

DO YOUR EYEBROWS MEET?

Then You Are q Werewolf-Soms
Similar Superstitions.
Notwithstanding their inconspicuous.
ness, the eyebrows have been the center
Of certain amount of lore, and even
superstition, but the chief point al
which superstition or folklore is found
in this connection is in those cases, not
infrequent, where the eyebrows meet
Everywhere this meeting of the brows
has been held to be ominous in one way
or another.
In some Of our southern counties
folk say that it is good to have such
>brows, for the possessor will never
have trouble, but this is a rare inter.
probation. As a rule, the meeting brows
are held to be Of evil omen. Readers
Of Charles Kingsley's 1.-TWO Years
Ago" will remember Mrs. Harvey's
face, which had been handsome and
was still clever, "but the eyebrows, y
continues Kingsley, crushed together
downward above the nose, and rising
high at the outer corners indicated as
surely as the restless down-drop eye q
character self-conscious, furtive, capa-
BILE of great inconsistencies, possibly of
great deceits.'
In the Icelandic sagas a man with
meeting eyebrows is said to be one. OF
the dreadful creatures known as were
wolves, and the same belief has been
traced in Denmark and Germany,
while in Greece, says Mr.. Barring
Gould, they are sign that man Is
q vampire. In horror there is little to
choose between vampires and were
wolves. A fanciful reason which has
been given for these superstitions Is
that the meeting brows resemble but
terfy, 1.-THE familiar type Of soul
ready to fly off and enter some other
body" This seems tolerably far
fetched.
In Hungary gypsy women and men
whose eyebrows grow together are
supposed to have in special degree the
power of enchantment, and as illiterate
folk have a great dread Of such mys-
terious powers, especially as they
may be supposed to be directed
against the well-being or happi-
ness of their children, 1t need
need hardly be said that man whose
brows meet Is not popular person.
Even now there are parts Of England
where a belief in wltchcraft still lin.
gers, and not so very long ago In
Northumberland there were people who
regarded person whose eyebrows met
as a witch or warlock.
In the north Of Aberdeenshire, ac-
cording to the late Rev. Walter Gregor,
who was a very competent authority on
Scottish lore and customs, a "closebroot
man"-that is, one whose eyebrows
met-was regarded as being immoral.
Elsewhere in Scotland one with close
broos'' was regarded as unlucky to be
met as first it," khile other folk went
a good deal further and regarded the
unlucky possessor Of "close broos" as
one foredoomed to be hanged-London

Time for Prayer.

It Is easy to become unconscious of
the time spent in school, but it is not
possible to be schooled without time,
or to live without school. All life is
discipline. And the discipline Of prayer
takes time. It will come faster and
more richly to us as we give time con-
sciously for 1t. Jesus gave time even
Ing Mark 0:4-O, mornings MARK

Apart from His set times, there was
no time not filled with the spirit and
instant possibility of prayer. He never
drifted into the mood nor went to a
place where He could not congenially
face the Father with open eyes and an
open heart. Is this true with us?-

GREAT RESULTS AND GOOD WORK
CONTINUES.
Root Juice Has Proved Its Great Mer-
it to Many.

Many people of Richmond. as else
where. are no longer incredulous. they
are simply amazed at the results OBJ
tanned from Root Juice. When the
remedy was first introduced to this
community and so many were being
benefited by few doses, it was gen
orally thought that the medicine would.
only give temporary relief, but as time
passes and many that were ailing are
no longer complaining, but are advis-
ing their sick friends to try Root Juice,
confidence in the great medicine is be-
coming positive. Root Juice makes
so many remarkable cures by removing
a few causes and giving nature a
chance. 1t tones and heals the stom-
ach, bowels, liver and kidneys; it Gre
ates a healthy appetite, and by its ton
ing action on the blood-making and
blood filtering organs, good, rich
blood is made to nourish every weak
part of the body If your stomach.
bowels, liver or kidneys are out of or

all about it at Lukens drug store Root
Juice 81 a bottle. 1t has proved all
that is claimed for it.
