Arizona Trapper's Luck.

L. R. Ford, who devotes his time
to trapping, brought to Phoenix yes
terday the results of months work
along the Gila and Salt rivers. He
captured in that time six wildcats,
seven coyotes, four raccoons, seven
skunks and two foxes. The bounty
on this kill will be about $40, and
the hides will brilng an additional
lesser sum.
Coyotes are plentiful in that Sec
tion, but are hard to capture by trap
ping and still harder to get with a
gun. Wildcats are so few that he
thinks he landed the most of them
and will have to hunt in another
place.
All the animals were caught with
a steel trap set in the brush and
baited. A wildcat measures about
sixteen inches from where he plants
his feet to the point where he noses
for the bait, and the trapper says he
has it figured down to such a fine
point that he hardly ever fails to lay
the bait at just the right distance
from the trap, so the cat will step
into it as he reaches for the meat.
Coyotes are shrewder and soon get
wise to the trapper, and it Is not long
before the whole coyote relation in
the region has been informed and
spotted every trap so they can get
around them to secure the bait and
make a safe getaway.-Arizona Re-

Drink Traffic's Confession of Defeat.
Beverages, the liquor paper OF New

National Liquor League of America.
The editor of that journal, in the
issue of August 2, has discussion OF
Prohibition in Georgia." he con-
cludes his remarks with the frankest
confession of the trades defeat Whlcn
we have seen in any organ OF the hq-
uor traffic. These are his words:
The result in Georgia presents no
pleasant outlook for any section OF
the business. That State in its judg-
ment has treated all alike, and no
false notion That beer is temper
ance beverage and should be allo"eo
to hold on has been entertained or
brought forward. We dislike to ac-
knowledge it, but we really believe
the entire business all over has over
stayed it's opportunity to protect It
self against the onward march OF pro.
hibition, which in some sections or
the country is advancing like a
prairie fire with not hand raised to
stop it's progress. For years we have
sounded the warning of the 1mpend--
, ing storm. For years we have argued
for organization and for years we
have, in season and out of season,
pleaded for unity, harmony and CO.
operation among all branches of the
business, but all effort on our part
and on the part of others has resulted
in no good. Five years ago a united
industry might have kept back the
situation that now confronts it, but

deemed necessary or reverent. But
the more we read and hear the more
we are led to believe that the fathers,
in not so Informed and scientific an
age, were not so deluded when they
accepted on faith that for which we
demand proof. For We get the proof
when we ask for it, so it would seem,
and it is very largely confirmatory
of the past.
The gates of hell cannot prevail
against the Bible. For it is the truth
full record of the largest longings, the
wickedest sins, the most delightful
religious exaltations of individuals
and people. Its human interest is
superb. 1t meets our lives at every
point. It has comfort for the sorrow
irg, peace for the afflicted, inspiration
for the heavy-hearted, enthusiasm for
the discouraged, admonition for the
wicked, salvation for the penitent.
The farmer feels its vitality, the
shepherd acknowledges its appeal,
the rich man learns it's lessons, the
poor man thanks God for its democ-
racy. 1t is the book of the people,
for it is redolent with the life OF the
people. And wherever there is soul
in torment, wherever there is man
who mourns, wherever there is a
woman with broken heart, wherever
there is mind in gloom, or a body
that is racked with pain, there will
the Bible be and be enjoyed. For 1t
radiates good cheer, it speaks to us
honestly of the deepest things Of life,
it warns US Of the consequences OF
evil and the satisfactions Of right
eousness. The Bible 8 as intelligible
to youth as to old age. 1t has mes
sage for all. 1t can charm boy with
it's heroes as man with it's profound
philosophy. 1t can animate girl as
it can inspire and intensity woman's
love for God. And it does these
things.
And because it does it will never
grow stale or profitless or valueless.
1t will ever stand. The Word of our
God shall stand forever" 1t is eter-
nal. 1t is not the creature of time.
1t is the child of eternity.
And it would stand forever If for
no other reason than that it unfolds
the earthly history Of the incarnate
God. So long as>the Bible speaks of
Christ it will live. For He is its in
spiration. The revelation of Him is
it's mission. And so long as men shall
sin and need salvation, so long as
souls shall turn to God in Christ for
aid, so long will men love the Scrip
ture and magnify it's force.
Shallow thinkers may enlarge the
difficulties that inhere within the
Scripture. Bad men may quote 1t
for their evil ends. Foolish men may
twist it's meanings and assure US Of
it's fallibility. But the Bible will
stand. 1t will stand forever. And
when we are gone and the countless
generations that shall follow US have
come and gone the long way in our
steps the Bible will be here. For 1t is
the Word Of the Lord. Let us never
forget it, And it shall endlessly per-
dure.

"poor Yet Making Many Rich. "

The Church Times gives an in
teresting little account Of poor girl,
blind and deaf, an inmate of a North
Devon workhouse, who Lives lie
of prayer in her darkness and soli-
tude." To this afflicted one the in
itiative of the organization of the
Missionary Candidates Fund of the
S. P. G. may be traced. That fund
now has reached the sum OF over
$4,000, subscribed in comparatively
short time. the first item being the
three shillings saved by the blind
girl. The writer Of the notice says:
"She was in little bare ward In
the workhouse when saw her, look
ing very sad because her Braille copy
of the Mission Field had been torn.
She asked me to pray for
her, and then told us not only to pray
for missions, but also for the parish,
for Sunday-schools and Bands OF
Hope, etc.; and one felt rebuked as
one thought of her life of prayer, al
ways thinking Of and interceding for
others in her darkness and silence" "

OUR TEMPERANCE COLUMN
REPORTS OF PROGRESS OF THE
BATTLE AGAINST RUM.
A New Departure in Temperance
Oregon Has Adopted a Plan That
is Said to Work Well so Far
list of Licensed Drinkers.


is Said to Work Well so Far
List of Licensed Drinkers.
The State of Oregon has taken
new departure in the temperance
movement, and the plan is said to
work well so far. In all other States
where liquor is allowed to be sold,
the seller is licensed. In Oregon the
order of things. has been reversed.
Instead of licensing the seller, the
buyer of strong drink is compelled
to take out license for which he has
to pay SIS every six months. Saloon
men are compelled by law to conf1ne
their sales exclusively to persons
holding licenses to buy. under pain
of a heavy fine for selling to unau-
thorized drinkers. The departure
from the usual order Of things Is so
radical that naturally there are many
complaints against it, and there are
many people who declare 1t is wrong;
that it is a restriction on the liberties
of the individual; that the State can
not legally say that one may and
another may not drink or do any
thing else. A feature of the law that
is especially unpopular among large
class of drinking people is that every
six months the complete list OF the
licensed drinkers is published. This
publication is held by many to be an
outrage. But there are strong argu-
ments in support OF the law as a
whole and in support Of the publ1ca-
ton clause. 1t is held that the state
has Just as much right to license the
buyer as the seller of an article; that
In Withholding licenses from persons
known to be confirmed -drunkards the
State is simply exercising Its right
and duty in protecting the commun-
lty. AS to the publication feature,
1t is held by supporters of the law
hat drinking breeds crime and pau
,ers, by which the public suffers, and
that the public has perfect right to
know who are the drinking people
in any community. Then, too, 1t IS
held that the publication of drink IL
senses has the effect Of restraining
many people from becoming drinkers:
Of course, there are men who Will
Eirink when and where they please
regardless of who knows it; but there
are also many men in every COM
munity who do not want to declare
10 the world that they are drinking
men, and these are deferred from
drinking by the fact that they can,
not drink in secret. 1t is also held
20 be beneficial to business interests
hat employers should know VINO are
he drinkers and who are the soper
men, especially the young men. PaT-
ents, too, are not kept IN the uar5
as to the habits of their sons, and
are thus enabled to take measures for
heir benefit. AS yet, however, the
new law seems to be only in the ex-
detrimental stage. It's workings will
oe watched with great interest by
other States. 1t has its strong points
and It's points of weakness. These
will have to be tried out.-Woman S

Fashion Names.

1t is not the nigh girt gown of the
eighteenth century that is figuring in
dressmaking triumphs, but a modi-
fcation as far from its prototype as
the alleged kimono sleeve of the fash
ionable wrap is from the original Or
iental arm covering which gives it its
name. But there is an upward lift
to the girdle or shortening of the
waist line in many of the best coats
and wraps and large number of the
handsomest gowns.

steal into the Kingdom of Heaven,
nor buy an entrance, nor march into
it, nor force their way by violence.
The child Of the kingdom must be
born into it.

generation but the beginning of the
divine life within our life, the advent
of the Christ Himself? f?"-Henry Bur-

In a certain school in Washington
there was one lad who would persist
in saying have went"
One day the teacher "kept him in,
saying:
while I am out of the room you
may write have gone fifty times"
When the pedagogue returned he
found that the boy had dutifully per-
formed the task, having written
"have gone" fifty times. On the other
side of the paper, however, was this
message from the absent one:

Entire Business World Alert.

The New York Central Railroad
keeps a considerable number of men
employed always in the yards at Sus-
pension Bridge, N. Y. These men
have been compelled to patronize sa-
looms in the neighborhood for their
lunches, and this has led additionally
to drinking. The company proposes
now to provide a lunch car for the
men, as d business proposition, to
keep them from the saloon and to do
its duty in helping them to effective
ness as workingmen. 1t is another
symptom that the entire business
world is waking up to hostile meas
.ures against the saloon.
