THE STORY.

sl<IF YE will not deliver me Judas
Maccabeus as prisoner, | will lay
this temple of God even with the
ground, and | will break down the al
tar, and erect a notable temple unto
Bacchus."
Nicanor Numbered the words so all
in that vast assemblage before the
temple could hear. That was a dra-
matte and tense scene, as the great
general standing above the heads of
the multitude stretched forth his hand
toward the temple and delivered his
awful threat. Back of Nicanor and TO
his right and left stood the soldiers
of his army, and filling all the space
before him was the multitude of the
Jews who had been drawn together
when it was noised abroad in the city
that Nicanor had come and was
marching against the temple
Judas or the Temple" again shout
ed Nicanor, with rising passion, as he
noted the unresponsive looks on the
faces of the Jews before him.
Judas or the Temple?" questioned
Rails, one of the elders of the Jews,
as he moved about among the people
TO encourage them. 1T shall be Meth
er. for God will protect his temple and
will give Judas our deliverer the vic
tory"
What is that you say?" sharply de-
manded voice at Rails elbow. The
latter had worked his way through
the crowd, and without realizing it,
had reached the line close to Mean
or's soldiers. One of the latter had
stepped within the group of Jews Ra-
zis was addressing in low tone. and
as he ceased speaking the soldier
SPOKE up, demanding to know what he
had said
Startled by the voice Rails fell
back and the Jews realizing his peril
closed in after him before the soldier
could lay hands upon him, and he was
lost to view In the surging multitude.
Tell me who that was demanded
the soldier, "or else every one of you
will feel the strong hand of Nicanor
Rails. you say the soldier repeated,
as seNeiaA 'oiNoS III Nhc sioup SPOKE
the name. And he then turned and
made his way back into the ranks OF
the soldiers
Late that afternoon a group OF
priests were making their way to
wards the temple The multitude had
long since dispersed and Nicanor and
his. army had withdrawn to theiI
camp.

SER NJ ON ETTE.

Y "Raxis, one Of the elders of
Jerusalem, a lover of his coun-
X trymen, and a man Of very good
Y report, who for his kindness
Y was called father of the
Z Jews"
N What a record Of life &c
leave behind!
\ Nearly 5000 years ago this
z record was made and It still en-
\ dures as an inspiration and
\ guide to others.
"The good which men do lives
after them" is the way an old
J adage should read, and who can
I measure all that this means.
II means an upper current set
( in motion which ceases not in
! its flow toward God.
Think of it!
How important then is this
matter Of building the record of
a life.
A man cannot live sclfishly
and build a record for the upIift
of his fellow man; neither can
he live impureIy, or dishonesty,
careiessiy or indifferentIy and
have his life count for good.
Every footprint planted on the
roadway of life must have the
toemark nearest to the rising
sun Of better things.
1t is not what man gets
from the world but what he
gives to the world that meas
ures and weighs that life.
Jesus said:
"a mans life consistent not
in the abundance of the things
he possesseth."
And again:
whatsoever will save his life
shall lose it; but whosoever will
lose his life for my sake, the
same shall save it,"
II is more than the golden
rule. II is more than mere do
ing as you would like to be done
by. II is the giving of self, ir-
respective of what is given to
you in return.
II means catching a vision of
larger destiny than is SPAWNED
by the mere few short years of
life.
Life is only begun here. infu-
ences never die.
How important, then, that the
purpose of a life be up instead
of down. How sad is the fact
that the world is married and
Scared by thoughtless, indiffer-
ent, selfish living.
The world should always be
the better, not the worse, for a
man having lived in it. This is
not an obligation of choice but
of duty. Each man needs and
may be father of his coun-
try" in small or large degree.

HELPFUL HINTS.

| Shoveling snow off the walks may
easily be made an occupation of pleas.
| ure. if we approach ii in the right
| spirit Too often do we regard the
| snow as a nuisance, instead of reflect.
| ing upon how beautifully nature
spreads her immaculate blanket above
| the bare earth and withered grasses
| spangling it here and there with the
cleaning jewels that toss their bril-
| liancy in the sunshine. Before shovel
| ing off the walks. it is well to prepare
the mind by reading the lovely poem
beautiful Snow" which is one of the
best accounts ever written of a snow.
storm.
This poem will be found to be a
great aid in shoveling the snow if we
will repeat il softly while engaged in
the work. Thus we can acquire a
rhythmiCal swing of the shovel
scoOping up the snow with the first
exclamation of Beautiful snow" and
tossing it lightly to one side with the
second remark of 20, beautiful snow!'
Whether we adapt the meter of the
poem to the anapest or dactyl, or
whatever it may be called, We may
start the red cOrpuscles in our blood
to racing joyously through our veins
and encourage the white cOrpuscleS to
eat up the bacilli that may have
stolen into our system while we in
dulged in gloomy thoughts because
the snow made our feet grow cold.
Art. when combined with labor,
makes labor into recreation, just as
art, conversely, when mingled with
pleasure, makes pleasure into labor
Thus a man may whistle at his work,
but when he plays the Xylophone it is
labor. Let us be content, therefore
with merely heaving the snow off the
walk and swearing at it when it is
caught by the wind and blown down
our collars. 1t is possible to assume
a frame of mind that causes mental
roses to bloom when half a shovel
full of snow is lodged inside the shirt,
next to the skin, at the point of juno
ton with the Suspenders. Even then,
when your wife is standing at the
window, indicating with her white fin
ger the heap of snow you have over
looked. it is possible TO smile jaunt-
lily and to get mental sunburn.
Why leave the edges of the walk
ragged? Why permit them to remain
an irregular trace of your hurried eff
forts? When you have removed the
snow from the walk, place the fiat of
the shovel against the edge of the
SNOW and press it firmly. Thus you
may create an even, smooth border,
whose straight lines and trim angles
at the corners will be a delight to the
eye. Or you may scallop it if you de-
sire, or even pink it with little ridges
that will make the snow look like the
ivory gown of a bride, with white
ruching for trimming.
Rub some of the spare snow on your
frostbites and chilblains.
Also shovel off your walk after
your neighbor has shoveled his. The
commonest rule of politeness compels
him to shovel a good two feet off your
walk

There are two fundamental reasons
why women workers should be organized
into trade unions. The first is that the
good Of society demands such associated
effort. 1t is a significant fact that wher-
ever labor is highly skilled and highly paid
trade organization follows as a matter of
course, and in its wake comes higher
standard of living for the family and for
the community Wherever labor is un-
skilled and undcrpaid, organization is diff

SENSATIONAL DUEL
 IN FRANCE TODAY

Especial from United Press.) g
 Paris. July 9.-One of the most sen- sationa1 encounters that has ever oc- cured under tho Codo Duello in France will probably take place before sundown. Two members of President Falliere's cabinet are involved Yes terday ex-Senator Charles Bos, now editor of the paper conducted by Vic tor Hugo, the novelist, entered the Sen ate chamber and slapped the face of Minister of Finance Caillaux Bos declared the minister had made a speech attacking his integrity. Friends fnterfered and there was no further scene in the Senate chamber
 To-day, however, Minister Cafllaux's seconds waited on Editor Bos and ar ranged the duel, which will be fought this afternoon.
 General Piquort, Minister of War, and friend of Captain Dreyfus, with Legislator L4eherisse, will act as sec onds for Minister Caillaux, while Leg islators Douzon and Torchu will act for Editor Bos.
 The fact that the men have deter mined to fight with pistols puts a seri- ous aspect on the duel, as death may result.

Hartford, July 9.-The bill Iimitiig saloons in licensed places in this state to to 500 in population which passed the House last week received the ap- prova1 of the Senate to-day and will become law as soon as it receives the signature of the governor There was no opposition to the passage of the bill in the Senate. Representatives of the liquor interests at the state house made no effort to- defeat this bill ;in fact it seemed to have much support among dealers in the liquor traffic for many of them are convinced that there are too many saloons now 1i- censed. The passage of this bill means that there can be no new licenses is- sued in Bridgeport for many years to come as at the present rate of the city's growth population wise it will be IS years before the population increas- es sufficiently to allow an increase in the number of liquor stores

Commissioner Kelly said he was not in favor of selling the West End plant for there was no telling when the city would need it He said that the Board of Health had $7,000 on hand to cope with the garbage dis posal proposition anytime that it was needed.
 Foreclosure proceedings have been brought against the ByIProducts Co.,, by one of its stockholders and mem- bers of the Board of Health have been told that the concern has been losing in the neighborhood- of $10, 900 per year.
 The price paid by the city is 50 cents per ton.
 Whether the West End people who asked the mayor to recommend the sale of the crematory were aware of the foreclosure proceedings against the Bridgeport By-Products Co, is not known But the proposition to sell comes at a time that might be most agreeable to the By-Products company and the sale would leave the city without crematory, or contract. It to maEe a Contract with the city at an increased figure.
 On top of all of the other troubles of the By-Products Co.,, they are as- sured of battle in the courts with the residents of Mill Hill avenue who have been getting stench all sum- mer that they claim comes from the plant. The residents declare they are going direct to the court with the matter as they can get no satisfaction from the board of health and they do not believe it would do any good to bring the matter before the board of aldermen.
 One prominent citizen was made sick by the stench one night last week, and all the members of his fam fly were obliged to sleep with sheet over their faces or close the windows and suffer from the heat.
