Time and the Man.

Some one may suggest that If Crom.
well and Napoleon Bonaparte and Bis
marck and George Washington and
Abraham Lincoln had not appeared to
do the work they did others would
have arisen equally capable of doing it,
though perhaps in different way. To
this suggestion there are two answers.
One Is that it is pure conjecture. The
other answer is that history shows us
many occasions when the great man
was needed, and when the need of him
was acutely felt. and yet when he did
not appear. The greatness Of some
men Is largely due to favorlng condi.
tions. Other men. perhaps more bril-
liant. achieve less than their powers
seemed to promise because they were
not quite in key with their own age.
Perhaps they were ahead Of it.-James
Bryce in Pail Mall Gazette.

GET RICH QUICK.

Schemes of this class have again
come to grief along with the gullible
investors, causing serious loss to
innocent business concerns, as is
always the case of panics in Wall St.
While this last lesson is yet fresh
in mind, it is an opportune moment
to consider causes and means to
avoid like trouble in the future.
Direct your attention to that
greatest of all Newspapers the Gin
cinnati Enquirer. From its columns
one can readily detect the trend of
currency, its lodging places, by
whom handled, uses made of it, and
final results. n
Again you read quotations of
Bonds, Stocks, and Securities of
every nature, fixing Status of all
business from the retailer, to United
States Government.
Also Current News, facts and re-
liable data covering the entire world;
all sufficiently explicit to enable
thinking people to avoid snags and
follow the channel of success.
Its extra size and high price, is
the secret of its ability to discover,
obtain, print and serve its patrons
with all the news, and cater to wants
of people in every calling of life.
The Weekly Enquirer for the
year 1908 has greatly increased its
Clubbing offers which now include
the most select and popular pub
lications of the day at prices slightly
over half the regular Subscription
rates.
Do not overlook the fact that the
year 1908 promises to excel in pros
perity any of the past, and that
the Enquirer printed at Cincinnati,
Ohio, is one of the most reliable
sources of information. .

NoAH's RAVENS.
A knotty Question Answered by q
Blacksmith Preacher.

Many years ago there lived in one OF
the mountain counties of Tennessee n
blacksmith who to his reputation for
honest work during the week added
that Of being powerful exhorter on
Sundays. Held in high esteem by his
neighbors, possessed of q sufiiciency of
this worlds goods for that primitive
community, he seemed to have solved
the question Of terrestrial happiness.
but the "thorn in the flesh" is indigo
for the blacksmith 1t grew In the per-
son Of one Tom Bradley. q tall. lank
mountaineer. who was the wit and
wag of the neighborhood and who also
occupied the unenviabls position of
skeptic In that orthodox community.
Tom delighted to prod the smith with
certain inexplicable Biblical state
ments, and these encounters sometimes
resulted disastrously for the exhorter,
causing him much humiliation and
making him, as he said, "wrassle In
prayer and cry to the Lord and spare
not"
Once at the yearly camp meeting the
old man was giving his experience"

sidered devotional In those parts. my
