The new minister tried the same plan

great activity on the local stock ex-
change again today, selling up to 1873.
or, generally. half a point higher than
yesterday. The sales were $3.50 on call

is that the greater part OF the first

original holders, and that the trading
has reached the purely speculative basis
in which il will remain until the issue

and this is sure to make a short hog
crop next season, and therefore in
sure high prices for fat hogs.
One can found or add to the swine
herd excellently well bred hogs at
nearly pork prices, and such time
is the one in which to make ready for
good hog crop next season, espe-
cially when 1t is true that so much
Of the breeding stock is going to the
pork market 20 save the corn. The
reader will call to mind similar con-
ditions as now exist when during
one year fat hogs sold at 81 to S5
per hundred pounds, and the next
seasons crop sold at Sc to 81. 1t
was due to conditions similar to those
existing now.
Another feature of this matter is
that everything points to great re-
vval of the industries, when all labor
will be employed, and meat consump-
tion greatly increased. Everything
now points to such a condition dur
ing next year. The hog breeders
should right now get ready to supply

fhe Parable of the Prodigal Son.

Never certainly in human languags
was so much-such a world of love
and wisdom and tenderness-comI
pressed into such few immortal
words. Every line, every touch Of
the picture, Is full of beautiful eterI
nal Significance. The poor boys pre-
sumptuous claimdp for all that lts
could give him-the leaving of the
old home-the journey to far counl
try-the brief spasm of enjoyment
there-the mighty famine in tha.
land-the premature exhaustion Of
all that could make life noble and
endurable-the abysmal degradation
and unutterable misery that FOLLOWED
the coming to himself and the rec.
objection of all that he had left be-
hind-the return in heart-broken
penitence and deep humility-the ia.
theirs far-off sight Of him, and the
gush of compassion over this pool
returning prodigal-the ringing joy
OF the whole household over him who
had been loved and lost, and had nov
come home-the unjust jealousy and
mean complaint of the elder brother,
and then that close of the parable In
a strain of music-Son, thou art ever
with me, and all that have is thine.
IL was meet that we should make
merry, and be glad; for this thy
brother was dead, and is alive again;
he was lost, and is found.
All this is indeed divine options
of the wandering of man and the love
of God such as no ear OF man has
ever heard elsewhere. Put in the
one scale all that Confucius, or Sakya
Mount, or Zoroaster, or Socrates ever
wrote or said-and they wrote and
said many beautiful and holy words
and put in the other the Parable Of
the Prodigal Son alone with all that
this single parable means, and can
any candid spirit doubt which scale
would outweigh the other in eternal
preciousness. in divine adoption to

Southern Hospitality.

Among the Southern writer's who
are firm believers In the hospitality
of the South is Thomas Nelson Page.
According to Mr.. Page, however, this
hospitality is not always appreciated
BY way of illustration he tells the fol-
lowing story about the good old
times before the war:
"A guest In Southern home re.
quested the use of horse to carry
him to the next town. where he IN.
tended to stay for few days. The
host. with that true Southern hospi.
tality, let him have the horse, and
even sent along q negro boy to bring
the animal back. The days went by
and neither boy nor horse showed up,
"The host at last sent a messenger
to see what had become OF them. The
boy was found on plantation nea,
the neighboring town. He was asked
why he had not come back with the
horse.
"Tbe reply was: ''Cause dat
gent'maD don sold the horse.
Well. how did that ! zen you
from coming hack?' ~
"'He don sold me. tool replied

HERoIsM OF A MEXICAN.

Jesus Garcia, Mexican locomotive
engineer. met his death in a most hor-
rible manner that he might save the
lives of many others and prevent the
destruction of a town.
The American Society of the Cross
OF Honor was quick to act when It
learned through newspaper dis.
patches of Jesus Garcia's sacrifice.
At the first meeting Of the Board
OF Governors of the society in this
city, held after the tragic occurrence,
resolutions were adopted commend
ing the conduct of the Mexican en-
gineer.
President Thomas II. Herndon, of
the American Society of the Cross of
Honor, sent the resolutions to the
Mexican Ambassador. That official
had the reported act of Garcia inyes-
tigated and found It was true as re-
ported by the press.
From the company by which Jesus
Garcia was employed--the Monte
yuma Copper Company, of Nacozari,
Mexico-came the particulars of the
locomotive engineers sacrifice.
The two cars loaded with dynamite
were near the smelter OF the CON-
pany In the thick of the town. The
cars caught fire in some manner, and
the flames We're almost licking the
explosive when Garcia backed his
locomotive up to the burning cars and
coupled his engine to them.
He realized that the explosion
there meant death to hundreds OF
people and the destruction of the
town' Grasping the throttle, he
.-g 1t wide open and. with the
blazing cars attached. made a streak
for the open country.
The train OF dynamite had but
reached the little section house in the
suburbs when came the terrific ex-
plosion. The section house and the
cars were reduced to spIinters. while
the body Ct Garcia was blown TO
pieces. only the smallest fragments
being found afterward.
Twelve Mexican section hands and
an American boy were also blown 70
atoms. But the town and many
precious lives had been saved by the
