To Live a Godiy Life.

1 Men may live sobery N,.t of rcGaFG 1 to their health. they may i've right eously also from prudential motives but they can live Sody only il pro portion to the measure in which con science is listened 10 and oEeyed.- Rev. Dr. William R. Huntington. Eps copaIian. New York.
 Love Worth Retaining. The newly married man who as sumes the air of having bought wo man with the wedding fee and lays 1 aside his careful winsomeness loses what he thinks he has won. If love is worth wooing to secure it is wort.l wooing to retain.-Professor Dr. Page. Congregationalist, Boston.
 Singing With Children. If some parents would do little less scolding and a little more singing with their children perhaps they might have just the same spiritual influence for good as had your sainted mother when she gathered the children about her every Sunday afternoon to sing the gospel hymns.-Rev. Dr. Frank De Witt Talmage, Presbyterian, Los An geles, Cal.
 A Desire to Be Guarded.
 It is the desire to know that we have got to guard with more strength than any other one thing that we can men, ton. It has wrecked more lives, bro ken more hearts, destroyed more pros .pects,. filled more graves and sent more souls to hell than everything else com bined. God help us to guard it.-Rev. Dr. Len G. Broughton, Baptist. At- lanta. Ga.
 Gods Evening Lamp.
 If we will look up any clear night we can see the evening lamp God has placed on the altar of the sky. Imean the pole star. There it is for sailors. and travellers everywhere. an evening lamp that is always reminding us that it is not the will of our Heavenly Fla ther that one of us should be lost Rev. Frederick E. Hopkins, Congresa tionalist, Chicago.
 The Worlds Living Power.
 Christ is living power in the world today just because the spiritually blind are made to see, the lepers are clealss- ed and the poor have the gospel preached to them. More and more is it becoming to be a Christian. It is joining the great army that is enriching knowledge, abolishing slavery, ameliorating war. unshackling letters and elevating humanity. It is standing in with the majority. It is being on the winning side.-Ret J. E.a' Adams. Presbyterianx Brooklyn.

There is more catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incur able.

Truth Not Feared.

We are not afraid of the discovery 0l truth. We urge mankind to read and study as well as to pray and testify. There was q day when men were afraid lest light from the stars would the geologist's hammer would break the rock of ages, lest some new ar rangen1cht amid the strata of the earth would Idislnca.te the cross of Christ It is not so noW. Let truth come from any source. and it will fall in with and not darken the truths of the gospel Rev. Ernest Wray Oneal. Methodist. Chicago. s.. ega,.E Ii .1.- .Q 7 4tae. Need of Gentleness. aei3
 In the culture of the heart we must lead on softly. I can no more believe that hard and cruel thought of God will be good for my children than l can believe in hard and cruel words and blows. and l have no doubt there are more so called infdels made and confirmed to that end by fathers who thought they were doing Gods service than there are of any other type. Such thought may be but theology to the father, but they are very often grim, hard, real biting torment to the tender child.-Rev. Robert Collyer. Unitarian. New York f s@g&E
 s$ tnklins of Gods Love. .z
 Men would rather live life of tears and pain and have love than to live a painless and fearless existence with. out love. HIman love is stronger than hate, than avarice, than ambition. Hu- man love can make q feast in the hove! or a paradise out of a wilderness. If this be the power of human love, what must be that of God? A fathers love Is great, a mothers love is greater but Gods love is the greatest of all. All the love of this world, without which duty would become irksome, the truth unpleasant-all the love of this world is but symbol of that of the next. Ii Is just an inkling of the affection that God has for us.-Rev. Dr. Samuel J. Nichols. Presbyterian, St. Louis.

TIPS IN ENGLAND.
Lord RusseIps Fec to tho Headsman
Who Executed Him.

Lord RusseI's Fee to tho Headsman
Who Executed Him.
Mr. George Russell. discoursing on
tips in the Manchester Guardian, after
the manner of his collections and
Recollections." treats the subject his
torically under its various names of
fees, wales (or veils), honorarium Gas
Disraeli preferred to call it, and
pouches.
Ancient usage has a peculiarly con-
secrating effect in the matter of tips
and fees. Horace Walpole records the
establishment of George 1. when told
that he must give guineas to the serv-
ant OF the ranger Of his park for
bringing him brace Of carp out Of his
own pond.
Apparently everybody in England is
at some time or other justified in de-
manding a fee unless it be the mon
arch. When TAFT became archbishop
of Canterbury and met the queen he
breathed a sigh of relief on at last en-
countering a person to whom he had
not to pay something.
According to Bishop Burnett, a man
used to have to give a tip in order to
be decapitated. He tells the story of
Lord Russell when under sentence of
death for high treason asking what he
ought to give the executioner. II told
him 10 guineas. He said, with a smile,
it was a pretty thing to give q fee to
have his head cut off,"

Tho Way the Tired Man Saved Him.
self Labor and Trouble.
One day a man went into a very big
store. He had a heavy package with
him.
Not in the sense you mean, smarties,
but In the real sense.
He had to go two blocks farther
down the street and didn't want to
carry the package. So he decided that
he would leave it in the check room.
He asked a foorwalker who looked
like a United States senator, but who
was a perfect gentleman, where the
check room was The fioorwalker said
"Thre downstairsandover
ontheWabashside."
He went there, wherever that was
and found he had made a mistake.
He knew it was himself who had
made the mistake, for as nice man
as a foorwalker with a Prince Albert
on couldn't have made a mistake.
Finally after he had logged his bun
die, thirty-two blocks hunting the
check room. had found the check room
and deposited his bundle he walked
his two blocks to the other place and
was through for the day.
Then he soliloquized:
How should / ever have go
through or stood the wear and tear Of
that long two blocks carrying tina
bundle? If it hadn't been for the
check room system, what could l have
done ?'-Chicago News

CONQUERORS CONQUERED.
The Fate of Alexander, Hannibal
Caesar and Napoleon.

The Fate OF alexander, Hannioai,
Caesar and Napoleon.
1t is a remarkable and instructive
fact that the careers of four of the most
renowned characters that ever lived
closed with violent or mournful deaths
Alexander, after looking down from
the dizzy heights Of his ambition upon
a conquered world and weeping that
there were no more to conquer, died
Of intoxication in a scene Of debauch
or, as some suppose. by poison mingled
in his wine.
Hannibal, whose name carried terror
to the heart Of Rome itself, after hav-
ing crossed the Alps and put to flight
the armies Of the mistress Of the world,
was driven from his country and died
at last Of poison administered by his
own hands in a foreign land, unla-
mented and unwept.
Caesar, the conqueror of 800 cities
and his temples bound with chaplets
dipped In the blood Of a million Of his
foes, was miserably assassinated by
those he considered his nearest friends
Bonaparte, whose mandate kings and
emperors obeyed, after filing the earth
with the terror of his name, closed his
days in lonely Punishment upon a bar
rem rock in the midst Of the Atlantic
ocean.
Such the four men who may be con-
sidered representatives Of all whom the
world calls great and such their end
tntoxication or poison, suicide, MUIR
dered by friends. lonely exile.

A Ready Answer.

The captain of a schooner that trades
between New York and Savannah is
noted for his wit, and on every occa-
sion that offers he loosens his shafts Of
humor, to the chagrin and embarrass-
ment Of its target. Sooner or later the
singer gets stung, and this chronic
pun artist is no exception to the rule.
On one occasion when about two
days out from New York he approach
ed a group of sailors who were wash
ing the forward deck, and. singing
out a big. rawboned Irishman who
was experiencing his first taste of
sailors life, he gravely asked. Can
you steer the mainmast down the
forecastle stairs? Quick as a fash
came the reply, "Yis. sor; can if you
will stand below and coil it up.'-Phil-

church was alone in his study when
his housekeeper brought him the card
Of one Of his parishioners. spinster
Of means and charm.
When the lady was seated on the op-
posite side Of his study table the rector
looked at her inquiringly. expecting to
hear something concerning parish
work. in which she was active. To his
surprise an embarrassed silence en-
sued. during which he vainly sought
for something to say.
"Dr. Blank" began the lady at
last in faltering tones, do you think

Singing Pigeons.

The queer Chinese change pigeons
into song birds by fastening whistles
TO their breasts. The wind Of their
flight then causes a weird and plaintive
music that is seldom silenced in the
pigeon haunted cities Of Pekin and
Canton. The Belgians. great pigeon
fliers, fasten whistles beneath the
wings of valuable racing carriers,
claiming that the shrill noise is a
sure protection against hawks and
other birds of prey. AS a similar pro-
lection, reeds, emitting an odd wall
ing sound. are fixed to the tail feath-
ers of the dispatch bearing pigeons of
the German army.

AIbertus Turner Who Confis-
Gated Animal at Piqua
Captured Last Night.
TO BE TAKEN TO OHIO.
HARDLY PROBABLE THAT HE
WILL BE PROSECUTED HERE,
ALTHOUGH CHARGE WILL BE
PLACED AGAINST HIM.

Arrested last night--or rather at
about o'clock this morning and then
believed to be the missing insane pa
tient from Easthaven hospital, a young
man giving the name of Albertus Tur-
ner, confessed later to the theft Of a
horse and buggy at Piqua, Ohio. In
the desk Of the superintendent of po-
lice was found a post card sent by the
superintendent of the Piqua police,
which bears a description of the stol-
en- outfit and the thief. 1t is proba-
BILE that Turner will not be sent back
to Ohio for prosecution, but a charge
of bringing stolen property into this
state will be placed against him. This
offense constitutes felony and is pun
ishable by a prison sentence.
Turner was arrested by Officers
Wierhake and LAWYER north of the
Cornelius Ratliff home. He had gone
into camp near Thistlethwaite's
pond With him was Charles Sharp, a
boy whose home is in the Rolling
building at Main and Fifth streets.
Sharp knew Turner when the latter
was in this city some time ago. He
had been swimming last evening and
encountered Turner as he was return
ing home. Upon his invitation Sharp
decided to spend the night with his &C
quaintance. Wrapped in the arms of
Morpheus and ignorant of the crime of
his sleeping companion, Sharp knew
nothing until awakened by the arrival
of the patrolmen. The latter had gone
to the vicinity of the pond in search of
Thomas Wilson, the escaped asylum
patient.
After securing the horse and rig
at Piqua Turner drove to this city by
a circuitous route. The horse is not
a very valuable animal and was a poor
traveller. so it took three days for the
trip. Turner spent the nights in
camp. The officers hitched the horse
up this morning and in company with
Turner and the boy drove to the city,
where the horse and rig were placed
in livery stable. The police at Pig
ua were notified of the recovery of
the property and are expected to send
for it, ~"e
Turner has been in trouble before.
He served eighteen months in prison
at Piqua and has been concerned in a
numbere of petty offenses. He was
reticent about any information in re-
gard to himself until he had been sub
jected to questioning by Supt. Bailey
the second time. The Sharp boy is
not believed to have had any complic-
ity in the affair and was not held by
the police. He is authority for the
statement Turner was not employed
when in the city on the occasion of
his former visit.
The police were notified this after.
noon and officers will be senet from
Piqua for Turner. He may be permit
ted to return without requisition pa
pers.
