don't care how great genius a
man night be, how resourceful, how
persevgring, how alert, all these quail

good story he would still fall down
at that.
Reporters are often snubbed. There
is stupid type of man that likes
to snub them. Such a man, a bank
president, once tried to snub my
friend Jimmy Patterson.
'The bank had gone up through
defa1cation, and Jimmy went to in
teIview it's head. But it's head was
crusty. He refused to be interviewed.
He took Jimmy by the arm and led
him toward the door.

make it rule to mind my own bust
ness.
Were you doing that. said Jimmy,
when the cashier made his haul?' "

THE STORY.

II HE years following the conquest
4 of Canaan and the division of the
land among the various tribes, bring
ing as they did their peace, and Sc
curity and prosperity-for the land
brought forth abundantly - gave
Joshua the rest he longed for and
needed, for with the advancing years
he had felt more and more the bur-
dens of leadership A feeling of con-
tentment and satisfaction filled his
heart as he beheld each tribe content
eddy settled upon its inheritance. The
tabernacle had been set up in Shiloh,
and the priests and Levites minis
tered before the Lord, while the peo-
pie worshiped without at the ap-
pointed seasons. The mercies and
blessings of the Lord were SO fresh
in mind, and the mighty victories
which the Lord had given them were
Of such recent occurrence that there
was no thought or desire to mingle
with the heather nations about them
or to be even SO much as drawn away
by idle curiosity in the worship of
their idols.
Ali this, as we have said, brought
cheer and satisfaction to the aged
leaders heart, and encouraged the
hope that whatever had been the fail
ures in the past, however grievous
had been their disobedience and lack
Of faith, the people had at last learned
the wisdom and reward of serving
the true God and would not again de
part from him. This confidence
served to blind Joshua to any ten
dency towards Waywardness on the
part of the people, and for some time
now he had ceased to require the de
tailed report from the elders. Thus
the weeks and months slipped by, and
more and more Joshua and those
about him realized that the infirmi
ties of age were telling upon him.

Yet this is far from all that is need

tainments and accomplishments, by

Of mere physical beauty. adorned by
matchless productions of the masters
in the art Of creating marvels of e1e,
gance and loneliness of beautiful fab

form and features, enhanced by the
most exquisite conceptions of the at
tire becoming her style, will say Moth
ing to the heart and mind; If soul does
not shine triumphant from her eyes,
thought does not dwell on her brow,
she will be but beautiful doll, appeal
ing only to the coarser instincts, 1eaY-
ing the higher and nobler feelings I'M
touched. Her shallewness, her friy-
olous talk, her pretty smiles, her sill
very laughter, to which so much study
is devoted, may be good for time, a
short time only. For beauty, as all
fair things, is evanescent. and the
years tear pitilessly the wreath of roses
from off her head. Then nothing will
remain to her except the fear and
horror of losing her adulation which
for SO long has been her daily food
and which turns its fight toward 9th
er business. An empty life is what
awaits the woman who has made a god
Of her beauty, has sacrificed every
thing on the altar of vanity, and more
than one has ended by taking her life
which became meaningless to her when
age had dirumed her eyes, silvered her
hair and withersd the roses ON her
cheeks.
had well understood and their salons
were the field in which the genius Of
Corneille, Moliere, a Racine and 9th
err great poets and writers found ex-
preston, development and encourage
ment. To assemble such men around
her, a woman must not be merely a
dressed-up doll; no matter how ex-
quisitely she is dressed she must pos
sess intelligence and knowledge, great
tact and refinement to be able to lead
the conversation, draw out the oft
times shy and modest man of letters,
bring out his happiest thoughts, his
most eloquent flow of language, argue,
discuss to make his genius shine forth
more brilliantly-then her fan be-
comes a scepter and a leaders baton
and her seat throne. But all this is
gone; great men are lionized, invited,
shown off for vanity's sake to friends
and acquaintance as rare animals, the
poor men being rendered greatly un-
comfortable and deeply miserable by
all sorts Of incongruous questions. To
draw out man of genius or talent, to
spur him on, woman must not be too
far below him herself in intellect. in
knowledge, in the understanding of
greatness, in refinement of feeling and
depth of thought. Though genius and
talent are given but to the few elect,
every woman of average intelligence
may reach the attainments mentioned
if she take but the trouble of develop
ing it.
Thus not every thought must be
given to fashion, to enhancement of
the charm of the physical self, not
everything must be sacrificed on the
altar Of beauty. The mind must be
adorned as well as the body, the last
ing must not. be neglected for the per-
ishable.

EeIs by the Ton.

Many tons of cells have been taken
from the Juniata river during the last
few days. John Pennington, a cripple
from this city, placed an up-to-date
eel basket in the river 1000 yards east
of the Lewiston dam and in one night
he took $500 cells, weighing one-half
to five pounds each, from the basket.
This is only one of the many baskets
in the river.
The eels are put in boxes alive and
kept well into the winter. They sell
for from II to Is cents a pound and
find a ready market.
At the Pennington camp there are
fully two tons of cells in the boxes

} Joshua, the servant of the
Lord."-Such is the testimony
of the writer Of the sacred mar
rative at the close of the life of
Joshua. No costly monument
was reared to the memory of
the great leader, but there has
come down the ages this record
that he served God.
And what greater or more
enduring record could be writ
ten of any man? 1t at once de-
cIares the character of such a
man; 1t testifies to the perna-
nency OF his life work; it gives
J, assurance of the abiding infIu-
ence of such a life upon the
lives of others.
Let us consider these points.
First, the character of the
servant. He who is truly a
servant Of God, must be God
like. More is needed than the
title and the garb of outward
, seeming, The right to the title,
Servant of the Lord" must be
tested by what a man is and
does. Not every one that saith,
"Lord, Lord" is entitled to the
name and livery of Servant of
the Most High" The true serv-
ant is one with his master in
purpose and desire. He studies
to know and do the will of his
master. He delights to be like
his master and to be identified
, with him.. How perfectly was
this expressed in the life of
, Jesus. As servant of God he
lived the God life on earth. The
life of God flowed through him
just as ne would have it flow
} through us. The true servant
is the branch which abides in
the vine and obtains it's life
therefronn.
And now as to what the SER
, want does. The true servant is
busy about his Lords business.
} 1t must be so, else is he disloy-
al and unfaithful. To be SER
J want implies service. The idle,
careless, Indifferent, negIectful
servant is no servant at all, and
not worthy of the name. But
what may we know of the life
work of the true servant of the
Lord? We may know first that
it has helped work out the eter-
nal purposes of God in the
world. We may know in the
second place that the measur-
ing rod of eternity, not that of
time, must be used to declare
the quantity and quality of the
work. We may know also that
the service rendered on earth
was but the beginning Of the
service to be rendered in
Heaven. What an inspiration
in the thought that he who
works and builds with God here
works and builds with God for
eternity.
And then there is the abiding
influence of the true servant of
God, which goes on and on in
ever widening circles among
men. This thought is expressed
in the declaration concerning
Abel, who offered acceptable
sacrifice to God, that "heing
dead, he yet speaketh." And
from Abel down take the record
of the true servants of the Lord
as set forth in the Word of
God, and who can estimate the
influence which has gone out
from those lives. Though dead,
they continue to speak their
message to the hearts of men.
Joshua, the servant of the
Lord. What a glorious COM
ment on his life. Servant Of the
Lord! May we ali strive to. be
worthy of the name and reIa-
tionship.

Prey of the sparrow Hawk.

The fact is that the sparrow hawk al
most invariably catches a flying bird
for its meal even striking down birds
as large as the wood pigeon, though
usually going no higher than black.
bird IT it does not exactly swoop
like the larger hawks, yet it must
have conditions of chase Of it's own
choosing.
This is why the small birds usually
mob it with impunity when they are
numerous enough to beWilder it.
Once, however, I saw a sparrow
hawk that had been molested for
some minutes by perfect cloud Of
green ffnches dart among them and
secure victim. The other day had
one of these birds pointed out as the
one which a few days earlier had
come close to the house toward dusk
and caught a bat on the wing. That.
however, is a very unusual meal
