Easily Managed.

"The prairies of the West are great
places for wind" said an American
telegraph operator. II used to have
a station out in Nebraska. right out
on the prairie, and the way the wind
blew there was a caution. At sta
tion about thirteen miles west my
girl lived. and, as 1 had no Sunday
trains or business Of any kind, l used
to go up there and stay over Sunday.
But horse from Saturday night to
Monday morning cost me too much
money, and SO l rugged up sail on
an old cart. All had to do on Sat-
urday night was to hoist my sail, push
my cart out on to the main road, and
in less than an hour was at my jour
ney's end. For more than year
went to see my girl every Saturday
night by means of that sail cart.
Pretty sleek, wasn't it?"
Yes, pretty sleek. But do you
mean to say that the wind blew in the
same direction every Saturday night
during all that timer"
"Of course l DON'T"
"Well, how did you manage it on
those nights when 1t blew In the other
direction?"
Easy enough. l had another girl
at station fifteen miles east"

Nature Presses Toward Fruitage.

Ripe fruit, which is the immutable
promise and purpose of God, Is the
end of a patient process. After long
and trying pause young spring, like
a hope of God, returns; but the end
Is not yet. 1t is the season of new
breath, new motion and new birth.
Everything is astir under the new,
universal excitement. The earth, like
a bride, puts on her beautiful attire.
She blooms and sings. But bloom
and songs are not the end. BY her
beauty music she announces the ex-
quisite end toward which she Is NOV
ing. She will not pause until she has
produced her fruit, nor then until her
fruit is full-orbed and mellow. She
reckons nothing less than ripe fruit
to be her fitting crown. Nothing less
will satisfy God. Thou crownest the
year with Thy goodness.-John Pulls

Conscience Not an Information Bureau

If conscience is safe guide to
what is right and wrong then the
Bible is not needed. There Is no
halfway ground here, for guide
that needs guidance is no guide at
all And as a matter OF fact, con-
science is not a guide, and because
SO many souls mistakenly think 1t Is,
confused and wandering errors in the
pathway of life are constantly made
Conscience is monitor. 1t prompts
and prods; it urges do what you
know to be right; do not do what you
know to be wrong" But it does not
instruct us in what is right and what
Is wrong; it is not a bureau Of in.
formation. That instruction we re.
ceive from God in many different
ways, of which the Bible and the
training of parents and teachers are
some Therefore it will not do to
settle back in the easy assurance that
we have a safe guide in conscience.
We have a tremendous responsibility

selves, what is our duty, and those

The Largest Seam Engine.

The $4,000 horsepower rolling
mill engine installed in the Sharon
(Pa.) plant of the Carnegie Steel
Company is the largest steam engine
in the world and weighs $50 tons
without foundation plates and fly

$50 to 200 revolutions per minute.
Being used to operate the rolls in a
steel mill. it has to be quickly re-
versed at the end of each run, and for
this purpose the reversing mechanism
is run by small independent en-
CINE. Another small engine is used
in operating the steam throttle valves,
all of these units being under the con-
