to encounter anything that might cause
discussions and interference in the flu

A measure has been introduced to
protect fruit growers against the i'm
portation of diseased fruit trees into
the State. 1t is deserving of support,
and is in the interest of this growing
industry. Mississippi has always been
without this protection, and it is high
time that something was done to aid
the people who r engaged in fruit
growing. Numerous laws are enacted
by every legislature in the interest of
other interests, and why not give some
attention to the agricultural people as
well.
A number of important laws in the
interest Of the agricultural people of
Mississippi have been offered and it is
be hoped that they will not be side
tracked or allowed to fail of passage.
Our future greatness depends upon the
development of our agricultural re-
sources, and every aid and encourage
mant should be given this particular
feature.

Still Arguing About It.
Washington would not have lost yes
terday had not Charley Smith let down
IN the hfth inning after two hands
were out and allowed four singles in a
row for two runs. On the other hand,
none OF the Washington runs was earn
ed. but it took advantage OF every
Chicago mIsplay to the fullest extent
and got those three runs anyhow, which
put il one ahead until Freeman's S err
ror I'm the eighth gave the Sox a run
to which they were not entitled, etc

the big contention last night where the
fans most do congregate, and they got

the only logical solution seemed 10 be 10
call il no contest and present Tim
Hurst with a bonus Of a bunch Of vio-
lets
Even this last happy thought was
suppressed by Manager Canullon, who
claimed that it was Hurst's lack OF
human intelligence which made him re-

Losers Had No Kick.

It was "a great game TO look at, and
Washington really had NJ kick coming
because those aforesaid unearned incre-
ments in the way OF three trips over
the plate were mostly personal presen-
j tations from Freddie Parent, who was
buslly engaged In having one OF those
occasional off days that afiiict BIZ
Shipke every now and then. The only
dark spot Of prominence was the weak
ening Of Smith i'll that NTH round
when he was solved for the quartet OF
bfngIes with two out. The Baldwin air
ship was IN sight from the grounds and
possibly his baIlooning was due TO the
general public mania on that subject
just now.
The whole Washington team played
the best it knew, and played II well, no
matter what the outcome was The
hest exhibition was in the seventh in
ming and was a bit of hea1work by
CIymer and Street. Pickering opened
the inning by walking. Mcbride popped
to Lee JannehTl. Pickering was

and the sphere in time to throw out
Walsh by an inch margin. Great ap-
plause. and a bottle OF pop from the
genial and generous Mr. Decker.
George also got four hits off Walsh.
Freeman was not so peart as he has

weakness in the matter Of making easy
tosses on quick plays. For some reason

Clvmer atoned for his mistake by

ing the Sox. CIymer started for second

nearly there that Walsh decided TO let

run that tied up the score Il was all

considerable about baseball, II may be
remarked in passing.
Another clever little trick was worked
bv Milan when he stole second In the

WORTH THE TROUBLE IT TOOK.
Hiram Needed Incentive to Go After
Lest Money.

Old Hiram was known by his neigh
bors as easy goin'," with occasional
lapses of native shrewdness. One
summer evening he was sitting on
the front porch with his wife when he
dropped a quarter. 1t rolled with fatal
accuracy into the only hole in the
floor.
Hiram sat looking at the hole for
several minutes.
He appeared to be turning over in
his mind a deep problem. Then he
heaved a sigh:
Amt you going to get it?" asked
his wife, a%nxiously.
I've been thinking" he said, slow
ly. I'D have to go out to the barn
and get the Ratchet, take off those
boards, crawl in under there in the
dirt, crawl out again, and nail on the
boards, and l guess it amt worth
while. / may be going in under there
for something else some time. The
moneys safe"
We'll, | never!" exclaimed his wife.
"~anybody'd think you had money to
throw to the dogs"
Hiram knew that she would argue
until she had the last word, so he al
ways gave it to her at the beginning
of the discussion. For ten or fiji
teen minutes longer he sat gazing at
the hole. Then he got up and dropped
another quarter and a half dollar
into it.
why, Hiram" cried his wife, have
you gone clean, plumb crazy?"
I've been thinking" he replied,
that if it wasn't worth while going in
under there for a quarter it was worth
while going for a dollar"
And he Started for the barn to get
the Ratchet.

THE STORY.

THE consciousness of a work to be
Il lone is the first condition of a
call to that work. God never calls a
man into his ministry who is not SEN
sitive to the great need of the world
for the gospel message. This is the
promise upon which we base this
story of the great Isaiah, the man
who could see visions and dream of
the marvellous grace and mercy of
God, the man who was richly endowed
with b grace of speech and wealth
of imagination of the poet and the
strength and force of character of one
whose sole basis of action was the
Interchangeable law of God.
Richly endowed of God he early
c~onsecrated his abilities to God and
came to know the joy of doing right
because it was right. In the day in
which he lived there were great TENN
tations to impure, unholy living. for
the influence of the heather nations
about had crept IN upon the kingdom
of judah, leading many astray and low
ering sadly the religious and the
moral standards of the people.
The kings of Judah, worldly ambi-
tious, and DESTROYS of alliances which
would strengthen their hands against
enemies which rose up against the
nation from time to time, set the ex-
ample which the people were only too
willing to follow. The road away from
God is broad and smooth, and for the
time being cen wonderfully attrac-
tive, n so it was in the days in which
the events of our story center.
1t was popular in that day as it is
very often to-day to be so broad
minded as to be ready to be on com
mon terms of intimacy with the world
ly prosperous, and to be so liberal as
to have no definite standards of eth
les, but to be whatever circumstances
and conditions seem to require to
gain the greatest amount of comfort
and pleasure for the time being.
Such was the general status of
public and private life in the days
when Isaiah was a young man, and be-
cuse he held himself Loyalty to the
support of Gods law, and would not
bring the standards which God had
established down to the level of mans
weaknesses, he found himself counted
as peculiar, n of narrow percep-
tons. But however much he lost of
human companionship he more than
made it up in the conscious fellowship
