When Christ came into Capernaum.
after having been away for time,
there was mighty stir. The people
crowded around him from every quar-
ter because he was remembe red by
what be had done. When Christ
comes into the individual heart there
is stir. cold habits protest. old
appetites CRY out. The whole heaven
and earth of the old life are shaken.
and they tremble under the tread OF
His coming"
When Christ comes into individual
hearts there is a stir in the communi-
". When His Spirit passed into the
hearts of His people at Pentecost q
spiritual tornado was set in motion.

Editor and Advertiser

Once on time | knew a man
Who said it did mt pay
To advertise the goods he had
To sell or trade away
To prove that he was off his base
And make him clearly see.
l gave him half page of space
And let him have it free.
1t almost scared him into fits
To see himself displayed
As displayed him. but he felt
Its influence on his trade.
l kept it up. his business doomed,
The customers swooped down
Upon his store until be had
The biggest rush in town.
One day [ went around to cali
And found him on the run.
With people waiting for their turn
When those ahead were done.
w Gil. WE'LL LII &IcdG uollRubs
To see things boom that way.
"Don't advertising pay. old man?
What have you got to say?"
| thought he'd like my work SO much
And think my plan so nice.
That he'd not only praise my wares,
But pay me double price.
And did he do it? Listen, please:
| thought that l ID drop dead
When suddenly he turned on me
And vigorously said:
'sTake out that advertisement, quick
Goldern yer pesky skin.
I'll never git chance to rest
Ez long ez it stays in. -

In the recent bleached Aour tests
the manufacturers declared that while
it is true that bleaching is done,
it does not injnre the four in the
least. the constituents are just the
same as before bleaching. the results
are just as gooo. and the demand of
housewives is for the white in great
preference to the unbleached product.

MAY STAY LONGER.
Adjournment of Congress on the 10th
Is in Much Doubt.

Washington, May 4.-Representa-
tives Watson and Alexander of New
York had a long conference with the
president concerning the executive
programme for the remainder OF TINS
session of congress. The president is
heartily in favor of the enactment OF
an anti-injunction law and the amend
ment of the Sherman antitrust law.
Mr.. Alexander's presence at the con-
ference was due to the fact that he has
prepared a bill making the govern
ment liable for injuries while in the
service and he wanted to confer with
the president about this before press
ing it in the house judiciary commit
tee of which he is a member.
Mr. Watson, who has some time ago
sanguine of an adjournment by May
16, said he is now doubtful as to the
date. He told the president that the
house judiciary committee gave some
signs of agreement on an anti-in5unc-
ton law, but as to amending the Sher-
man antitrust law he could give the
president no assurance. Mr.. Watson
was confident that some of the other
measures favored by the president, in
Guiding a child labor law for the Dis
trict of Columbia would become law.

THE CASE OF JONES.

His name might have been Jones or
anything else. but that was the name
he gave when he went on the tramp.
It was only when the police arrested
him that he was careless1y asked to
give a cognomen to be sent up under.
Now and then Jones was asked by
some one who doled him out cold vic
tuals or hired him to do fifty cents
worth of work for dime why he had
taken to the road. He mumbled some
excuse in reply. but did not state facts.
He knew the question to have been
put out Of idle curiosity.
If Jones had felt like explaining he
could have answered that at the age
of twenty-eight he was a mechanic
and happy to work. A year later he
wife and babe as the former became
a mother. Then he got into trouble
with his union for working overtime,
was expelled from the society, and
during the next year it was a bitter
fight with him against odds. The shops
turned him down; his health become
poor; there were more laborers than
there were picks and shovels. He
was carrying in a ton of coal now and
then, or carrying out ton Of ashes,
when he got in the way of street car.
He wasn't killed. Indeed, he wasn't
hurt, but a policeman took it as a bit
of impudence on his part to interrupt
traffic and he was coIlared and sent
up for thirty days. In one sense, the
imprisonment was a great relief to
Jones. He got something to eat and
got it regularly. When night came he
got a fairly comfortable bed. In an
other sense, he felt degraded. His
keepers and most of the other pris-
oners would have laughed at the idea.
but it was nevertheless true. He had
made a good fight for it and had been
downed through no fault of his own,
and he had done nothing to deserve
Imprisonment. 1t Inundated and en-
Uttered him, and when his. sentence
had been served he had lost selfre-
spect and had feeling that the
world was against him.
From that day Jones became no.

cular aim except wanting to get some

argue as many a man with fine coat
on his back has-that the world owed
him a living. He was willing to work

HER PARENTS RELEASED.
Bachman Alone Is Held for Murder of
p the Smith Child.

Easton, Pa, May 4.-Henry Smith
and his life, parents of Irene Smith,
the little girl who was strangled to
death by Robert Bachman while in a
religious frenzy at Nazareth. last Mon
day night, were today released from the
Northampton county prison, upon the
order of Judge Scott, who held that
there was no evidence to connect them
with the death of the child. Mrs.
Bachman was also released on the
same grounds. The Smiths and Mrs.
Bachman were held in $4,000 bail,
however, to appear as witnesses
against Bachman.
Bachman's brother, a wealthy and
prominent cement manufacturer, is on
his way east from California and it is
stated he will put UP strong fight in
defense of the prisoner, who the dis
trict attorney declares, will be indict-
ed and tried for the murder of the
Smith child.

SANTA FE WINS A SUIT.
1t Is Not Held Responsible for Cattle
Lost During the Flood.

Washington, May 4.-The cases of
the Empire State Cattle company and
the Minnesota and Dakota Cattle
company versus the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railway company, in
volving claims for losses on cattle
during the floods in Kansas in 1908,
were decided by the supreme court of
the United States in favor of the rail-
road.
The claim of the Empire company
was based upon the loss of IT'S cattle
shipped from Texas and that of the
Minnesota company on the loss of l.
635 head shipped from New Mexico,
both shipments being to South
Dakota. The overflow of the railroad
tracks along the Kaw river made
diversion of the cattle necessary and
it was claimed that their loss was due
to neglect. Both cases originated in
the United States district court for the
state of Kansas, where the finding
was favorable to the railroad COM
pany. The court of appeals for the
eighth circuit affirmed that verdict
and it was sustained by today's de-
cision. The opinion was announced
by Justice White.

made the tramp the synonym OF laZi-
ness, but we have wronged him. Not
one out Of fifty refuses work when Of
fered to him. Jones had the idea that
thousands of others get that jewellers
of a city are coId-hearted and selfish
above all others, and that human SYM
pathy is to be found only in the viii
lagos and agricultural districts. He,
therefore, made his way among them.
He found suspicion and distrust and
abuse everywhere. In the villages the
boys stoned him and the men looked
on and laughed. If a woman fed him
at the back door she slipped out of
the front after a constable. They ar
rested him for theft, arson. robbery
and murder. The county sheriff
couldn't imagine any one but a tramp
committing a crime, and If there was
no evidence to hold Jones there were
hints Of tar and feathers and riding on
rail to scare him along to the next
village.
When Jones went among the far
mers the usual thing was to set the
dog on him as soon as he entered the
gate or climbed the fence. If there
was no dog, then the farmer came for
ward to give the hobo the boot. For
every one farmer who fed and lodged
him fifteen turned him away. The
latter thought it necessary to call him
names and threaten him and make
him feel his position. The former de-
manded that he pay five times the val
ue Of the food in work, and when he
got ready to move along they insisted
on searching him to make sure that
he wasn't carrying off plow or the
contents of the granary. Now ana
then, at long intervals, Jones met
human being, man or woman Iney-
talked to him as one human being
talks to another, and for an hour af-
ter he would feel himself again man.
Then along would come country
constable to run him in on suspicion OF
having stolen wagon load OF wheat
or potatoes, and abuse him because
the proofs were lacking.
For five years Jones wandered over
the face of the earth. In that time he
met more people and saw more OF hu-
man nature than the ordinary man
would see In living two lifetimes. In
particular, he saw the httleness OF his
felIowmen He discovered that for
every broadminded man there were a
thousand with Dinched and contract
ed souls. He heard gossip and scam
daI and lying. He saw the injustice
of man to man. He saw SO little that
was good, and so much to condemn
that, hobo as he was. he became dis
rusted and no longer wondered why
hogs crowded each other at the

The Mortgage Lifters.

For many years cattle and hogs
have been called 1.-THE mortgage lift
ers" of the farm, and though this is
undoubtedly true, yet the sheep in
dustry, that is the growing and car
ing for them in small numbers, is
rapidly becoming recognized as one
of the most profitable and reliable
means of an income.
Last fall there were shipped from
Filler more than 100 cars of grain.
This was a remarkable yield consid-
ering the limited number of acres in
cultivation and since that harvest a
number of our most progressive
farmers have added to their land
small bands of sheep numbering
from twenty-five to 500 each.
Their experiment has proved more
than satisfactory, for with the fields
of alfalfa with their abundant pro-
ductiveness, the cost of feeding has
been reduced to minimum, and the
increase of spring lambs has been
more than anticipated, for in nearly
every case the per cent Of increase
has been more than 100 per cent and
in some more than $50 as in the band
of T. e Moore, who resides on fine
farm three miles north of Filler
where the increase amounted to 151
per cent in a band of 25 and 1876 per
cent in band belonging to DR..
Crocker of Succor Flat, where there
are about 100 in the band.
Men of experience say that sheep
ln de-,
pleasant, cleaner and more profit
able than that of raising hogs and
cattle.
Besides the yield of wool, which
is averaging about twelve pounds
to the sheep here this year, 1t is
stated that ten sheep will thrive and
produce on the amount of pasturage
and feed required for one beef.
Three times a year the sheep man
may expect profits from his flock no
matter how small 1t may be; first In
the spring, when the early lambs are
in demand, again later at the shear
ing lime, and again in the fall when
there is market for the late lambs.
The prices for sheep and wool for
the last two years have been excep-
tionally high, lambs in eastern mar
kets selling from IS to $3.50 per
hundred. The practice Of caring for
small bands of sheep on the farms
of the east is becoming quite general
and the conditions for same being so
much more favorable here than there
as the mildness of the winter climate
and the presence of green feed in the
fields throughout the ccld months.
renders 1t possible for the farmers
of this tract to do the same. Z
