Fond du Lac (Wis) Man Sees Two
"Nines" of Bluebills in Ma

FOND DU LAC, Wis. May 81 Spe-

FAM has seen all kinds of games in his
life, but the one yesterday was the best
that has ever been pulled off in Fond du

He was told by William Fleming. the
Waterman at the Pope Boat company's
plant, that eighteen ducks had been seen
flying over the marsh, finally settling
down" in the baseball park. Malone
sneaked over to the grounds, and sure
enough, there were the ducks. He stole
a seat in the grandstand and watched
the game.
Nine of the ducks were swimming
around on the diamond and the outfeld,
both of them inundated by the heavy
rains while the other nine were sitting
ON one of the players benches. Then

Tapped his wings at something and start

went to bat, and Malone kept score, be-
ing the only spectator with knife and
a stick to mark the tallies on.
The game was called in the fourth
inning on account Of sunshine.

Inc most dramatic Of silent men

versation should disturb their general

which caused him to be irritated at the
slightest noise, were due to his consti-
tutional temperament. He never
smiled, he never asked advice from
any one, and he could not endure to be
gazed at, even when giving an order.
The soldiers, when he crossed the
camp, pretended not to see him, know
ing that a curious look would bring
them punishment.

MAN SHOULD DISCOVER.
By Rev. John r. Mackay, PHI. D.

What is written in the law? How
readest thOu?-Luke 10 &c.
Macaulay in one Of his reviews says ::
THE deeper and more complex parts
of human nature can be exhibited by
means of words alone
To many of US they are mirrors, his
tories. Every new science adds many
new words to our language. Every
new discovery, every war adds a few
more. Each one of these new words
enlarges our knowledge.
But words do not increase our knowl-
edge Of men morally or in the language
of the heart Moral science may have
become more elaborate, but the vital
and instructive principles which are
for the guidance and development Of
manhood and character have not been
improved. All those words called the
Ten Commandments, spoken at least
1000 years ago, describe man just as
fully and extensively to-day as they
did then
So also is this true of the laws of
the heart. If one Of the Pharaohs

of dollars annually are two of the chief
print paper manufacturers, who have
come forth with a proposition that would
revolutionize the print paper industry
of this country. 1t is to use black in
stead of white paper for newspapers, the
ink to be white instead Of black. The
idea was suggested because Of the ap-
parent certainty of white print paper GO
ing beyond a price where it will be
profitable for use as news paper. Manu-
facturers declare that black paper can
be made for much less than white, mas
much as old newspapers would be the
principal stock in the black paper The
matter will be brought to the attention

SHORT METER SERMONS.

You cannot help this world by hiding
from it.
When a man is puffed up he is easily
blown away
Heaven is not for from him who
smiles in cloudy weather
Making wealth common will moi
make the ideal commonwealth.
The liar does not become a moral
athlete by his mental gymnastics.
The man who only sees with half ar
eye always thinks the world is waiting
for his views.
Many a man casts his eyes up tc
heaven that the world may forget thai
his hands are in its pockets
A funeral sermon may be a good ora
ton. but it does not count for much
as prophecy unless history indorses it
You can fatten a dear, sweet sister
into a saint on an amount of religion:
angel food that wouldn't suffice TO keer
a full-grown man from swearing.

Of providing a dental institute In the

he looked upon two lovers or a mother

the same throughout all ages. They
are like the physical laws of steam

does not invent them; he is their dis

Thus it is that man never progresses
by trying to invent moral truth. When
he seeks to discover it, follow it, love
it, make it the supreme object in life
then he finds himself close to the Di
vine presence, touching the things of
God, breathing the spirit of God. And
he leeds not to go far atield, for he
finds it in himself in his relationship
with his fellows and in Gods word.
1t is too often assumed that moral

Therefore, Jesus did not merely eX.

profoundest, deepest, understanding
of all moral principles when He said
to the young lawyer, How readest

true self, for just within it he would
find God the source of truth and life,

HYMNS YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
True W orship.


True Worship.
Behold us, Lord, a little space
From daily tasks set free,
And met within thy holy place
To rest awhile with thee.
Around us rolls the ceaseless tide
Of business, toll and care,
And scarcely can we turn aside
For one brief hour of prayer.
Yet these are not the only walls
Wherein thou mayst be sought;
On homeliest work thy blessing falls
In truth and patience wrought.
Thine is the loom, the forge, the mart,
The wealth of land and sea;
The worlds of science and of art,
Revealed and ruled by thee.
Then let us prove our heavenly birth
In all we do and know,
And claim the kingdom of the earth
For thee, and not thy foe.
Work shall be prayer, if all be wrough
AS thou wouldst have it done;
And prayer, by thee inspired and taught
Itself with work be one.
