Bull Chases Ball Players.

The Jacksonville Pioneers and the
Clinton Athletics, in whose uniform
red predominates, went to William
Hanpf's field in Jacksonville to play
a game of ball. Players and specta-
tors laughed at the farmer, who for
babe the game, and the game started.
Hanpf walked silently to his barn and
let loose his bull. The animal bel
lowed and charged a r~ed-legged Ath-
letic. Players and audience fed in
all directions, the bull charging now
this way, now that. Deylin, of the
Giants, or Billy Maloney, of Brook
Ign, never ran the bases faster than
did the fellows the bull chased. All
escaped except Michael Boland, the
Athletics catcher. The bull tossed
him over the fence, but he escaped
with scratches, bruises and a ripped
uniform.

In a lowly sphere, the sand dabs were
noted for their delicacy, a certain
fresh righteousness of flavor that
made them much esteemed and
sought after by their finny neighbors.
When in due curse of time gold was
found in California and men fiocked
!hither from all over the world, fish
srmen began to ply their trade in the
waters near San Francisco, and soon
discovered sand dabs among the
catch. "Drat the sand dabs!" or
words to that effect, they cried many
a time and oft. For these were small
fish, like baby soles, founders, fiat
fish or hake, white below and gray on
The topside, and of most humble and
un~obtrusive demeanor.J
Cinnamon fiocked to San Francisco
In their thousands, and the fishermen
breathed a sigh of relief. They sold
the humble sand dabs to the unbo-
trusive Cinnamon for a song-not a
Chinese song, of course-and thanked
their stars that they had found even
a very cheap market for the bother

being caught in good company. This
went on for forty years.
One day after the great fire an af-

seemed to have come from heaven.

That was enough. The philoso-

milan Club, and they consulted with
all the leading hotel and restaurant

the sand dab at any really excellent
table in San Francisco. He is at his

Ed. Tinker, of East Los Angeles,

Its a life" said Tinker yesterday,
"of some hardships, but l enjoyed

"One winter, before the law pro-

We were 140 miles up the river back

on sleds, my six dogs bringing out
two sleds at a time. We sold upward
of $4,000 worth of meat, killing 230
caribou. 1 had eighteen caribou Oh

Never Without Blood.

You will find in Heb. 1922 that
without the shedding of blood there
is no remission" l should like to
ask people who believe in the Bible
and yet try to ignore the doctrine of
blood, what are you going to do
with that Scripture?
From the time that Adam fell in
Eden, to the present time, there has
never been a soul saved but by the
shedding of blood; there has never
been a soul prepared for coming to
God except by the shedding OF blood.
The Holy Ghost ome and dwells
with that soul that is washed by the
blood of redemption. And it be-
comes a temple for the Holy Ghost
to dwell in, but never until it has
been cleansed by the shedding of the
blood. 1t is the blood alone that
purges from iniquity.-D. L. Moody.

Accept Your Cross.

We need not go hunting crosses;
but we must not evade them
if they come. Christ did not come
to the earth for the sake of dying.
His aim was the redemption of man
kind, and because the cross was in
the way of the accomplishing of that
redemption, He did not shirk it, but
set His face steadfastly toward it as
He journeyed in the way of duty.
The secret of His strength was in the
knowledge that in lowliness of heart
He was saying to the Father: Thy
will be dome His conscience was
clear and His purpose u%nfiisching,
and He saw His joy Through it all.

How Character is Made.

One of the chief dangers of life is
trusting occasions. We think that
conspicuous events, striking expert
ences, exalted moments have most
to do with our character and capacity.
We are wrong. Common days. mo-
notonous hours, wearisome paths,
plain old tools and everyday clothes
tell the real story. Good habits are
not made on birthdays, nor Christian
character at the new year. The Wis
ion may dawn, the dream may waken,
the heart may leap with a new in
spiration on some mountain top, but
the test, the triumph, is at the foot
of the mountain, on the level plain.
