0uilded into the walls, did but typi-

| invisible, spiritual temple, which is
slowly rising in the earth and which
shall stand at last eternal in the
heavens.
The magnificent temple of Solo
mon built of unblemished marble,
was surmounted by magnificent
dome, flashing with golden spikes.
! The glory and crown of the whole
terraced structure, there it stood
flashing regal in the sunlight daZ-
cling the eyes of those who looked
upon it, the most material achieve
ment in the history of Israel. But
stately and magnificent as it was
| it did not symbolic the grandeur
and more wondrous temple-the
temple of the human soul-a sub
liner creation than ever arose on
earth, a higher expression of crea-
tive skill, not only greater than the
temple of Solomon, but grander in
its conception than the temple of the
material universe.
The human soul possesses more
| resources of design, more intricate
and wonderful harmonies are dis
played in it than in the orbits and
| Interplay of suns and systems. The
| constellation of Orion, sculptured in
light on the black walls of space,
! fades into mere FREELY pageant,
when compared to this matchless
| temple which sprung from the soul
of the Infinite; and which is robed
with its own beauty and endowed
with His own immortality. 1t is the
true temple of God, built for His
perpetual indwelling
The soul is immortal and there
fore can never wear out. 1t shall
never be overtaken by destruction,
but shall advance on in widening
power and increasing beauty and
glory forever.
There is no thought more inspir-
ing than that of the endless devel-
opment of the human soul Not only
everlasting existence but everlast-
ing enjoyment, and widening of the
powers of mind, heart and soul. We
cannot voice its diyinest harmony |
and only when transported from the |
imperfections of earth, it shall stand |
amid the circumstances and scenery |
potent to awaken it's latent suscepti- |
bilities, shall we ever know the |
slumbering, yet wondrous power and !
capabilities it contained. 1t shall !
forever enlarge its sweep and sway !
and build the imperfect work of the /
past into statelier achievements of ,

thy fires lighted by the fires of an .
unsetting sun. Thy windows flooded .
with the glory of an uncreated day:
thy affairs fragrant with the incense |

Mr.. Lightfoot paid a glowing tri-

must not only labor for humanity's
cause but that every act must be
deliberately made with view to its
final effect upon his destiny through
eternity
When we build enterprises, for
selfish and temporal ends merely,
they serve their little day and van

The Augusta Herald deprecates the
extravaganza of the farmers. 1t
doesn't approve of the way in which
they spend their extra cash. Says it:
"The movement of working men from
the city to the farm is prevented by
the tales of failures on the part Of
those who, through improvidence fail
ed to make a success of farming. This
number is surprisingly large 1t is so
easy to make money by farming that
those who make it fail to learn how
to use it properly. A farmer brings in
two or three bales of cotton and sells
it. He gets hundred or two hundred
dollars in a lump sum, something
which a workingman in the city may
not do in lifetime. And he fails to
invest that money properly. Instead
of applying such part of it as may not
be needed to supply actual personal
wants for the enlargement or better
ment of his business, to increase his
receipts the next year, he will perhaps
invest it in fine buggy and horse to
match, which he will put in much
time to wear out the next year, and in
this way not only will he fail to better
his condition but, if any drawback
should be experienced as must be ex-
pected at times in any business, he
becomes entangled in debt"

Tea table etiquette was somewhat
complicated in the days of that hard
ened and shameless tea drinker," DR..
Johnson, when many people thought
nothing of drinking ten or twelve cups
at sitting, says the Chicago Daily
News. 1t was considered proper for
the cups and saucers of a party of ten
drinkers to be all passed up to the
hostess in a batch when replenishment
was considered necessary, and in ord
er that each person might be sure of
getting back the right cup, the tea
spoons were numbered. When the
cups were passed up those who did
not require any more were supposed
to place the spoon in the cup.

A Greek scholar has called atten-
ton to a very curious coincidence
about the name of Napoleon. If you
take away the first letter of his name,
you have "apoleon"; take away the
second letter of that word and you
have "poleon"; do this successfully
down to the last syllable and you
have leon" Icon" and "on.' Put
these several words together in this
order, Napoleon on oleon leon con
opoleon poleon, and you may translate
it roundly, Napoleon being the lion of
peoples, went about DESTROYING cities.

in the Mesaba range went out, and
there was imminent peril of violence.
Instead of sending his state militia to
the scene Governor Johnson himself
went alone. He talked with the strike
leaders and with the employers. He
visited the strikers and heard their
grievances. He gave them good ad-
vice. If they remained orderly, he
said, no troops would be sent, but if
they became violent he would be fore
ed to quell their violence with soldiers

sacre is to be given by state troops at

October. The troops have obtained
permission from the government to
take part in the play, and will be
killed and scalped" each day by
genuine Sioux Indians, some of whom
took part in the battle which wiped
out Custer and his men on the Little
Big Horn more than thirty years ago.
The Indian Bureau authorities at
Washington have given consent to the
use of Iron Lightning and his men for
the purpose of this reproduction, and
more than one hundred Indians in all
their war toggery will be under his
command. This is the first time an
attempt has been made to put on re-
production of the last great fight be-
tween the whites and the reds.
