anxious to have the congregation
show due appreciation of the
honor conferred by the presence
of the distinguished jurists, gave
out two verses of one of the
metrical psalms, Speak, O We
judges of the earth, if your SEN

appeal to heaven from our de-
cree? Your wicked hearts and
judgments are alike by malice
swayed; your gripping hands by
mighty brides to violence betray-
ed"
By this time most of the adults
had woke up to the application of
the Psalm and remained silent,
allowing the children and few
women to continue the second
verse.

PATHS Night Of Triumph.

It was at Madrid, writes AIDE
lima Patti in a magazine, at the
close of a gala night, that, to my
establishment, 200 beautiful ca
naries were, at signal, released
and fiuttered toward me. Each
adorned with a colored bow at
its throat an made a wondrously
beautiful spectacle. | managed
TO capture two of these charm
ing little songsters and press
them to my lips. This was not
all Of my triumph. The duke
of Alba presented me from his
box with a beautiful wreath,
while the countess Montijo, the
Empress Eugenie's m o t h e r,
threw me an exquisite bouquet,
and the members of the Jockey
club launched on t h e stage
twelve laurel wreaths made Of
velvet and satin leaves with gold
en- berries. So, you see, | had
no reason to complain of my re-
eeption in Madrid. | have had,
perhaps, more tumultuous recep-
tons elsewhere. but never, l
think, any which touched me
more.

meaty. This formation, as a /

meaty. This formation, as a /
ready detailed, presupposes a
short neck and a stilted way of
going, both Of which are very
bad faults in a saddler. A GER
tain amount of jerk-and-slam ac-
ton may go with straight Shout
ders, but all the most accurate
actors in the high stepping class
es have possessed sloping Shout
ders; indeed a very decided slope
is necessary to enable any horse
to show the correct sort of ac-
ton, which may be described
as that the fore foot should ap-
parently be following the circum-
ference Of rolling wheel.
Forest King was the greatest
actor we have ever had in this
country. Anyone who remem-
bers the set of his shoulders will
grasp the point sought to be
made instantly, when it is stated
that the truest and best action is
never associated with straight
shoulders. At that, however,
much straighter shoulders will do
for ordinary harness uses than
for the saddle, for in the leather
they have not to sustain the
superimposed weight of the rider.
Hence the application or rather
misapplication f the ter m
''harnessy" in describing or dis
cussing the shoulders of saddle
horses. Breeders Garette.

Some Photographic DON'T.

Do you know any task much
harder chan to sit for a photo
graph? Here are some don't"
which were given by an expert
artist in this line.
Don't wear blush white or any
pale shade except cream color.
Don't wear gray, yellow or
tan. Black, dark green, blue or
red are decidedly the best.
Don't wear stripes or plaids, or
checks.
Don't wear silk, satin or any
glossy material. Lace trimmings
usually come out very clearly.
Don't wear a hat, as they look
queer when the style changes.
Don't arrange the hair elabor-
ately. 1t will give fixed look.
Velvet or soft wooden goods take
particularly well.

Gone TO Rest.

Not dead. but only asleep in
Jesus. On the 18th day of Oc-
tober the angel of death visited
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. j. N.
Garrett and claimed for its own
their most precious little daught-
err, Nina. She was born July
18th, 1900. She was taken with
dyptberia on Saturday and pass
ed from this world on Wednes-
day night.
She is not dead but only asleep in
Jesus. Little Nina left a moth
er, father, two sisters and one
brother to weep after her. Her
little sister, Annie has preceded
her to glory several years ago.
Nina was a kind and obedient
little daughter and her vacant
place can never be filled. She
was the only child that accompa-
MED her father and mother in
their home, but she told some Of
the family that she didn't want
to get well; said she wanted to
60 where Little Annie is.
Little Nina and Annie is not
dead, only asleep in Jesus. May
the blessings of God rest upon
the heart broken mother and
father for we know they both
grieve much after their precious
one. They can never call her
back but they can go to her.
While she is their loss she is
heavens gain. Everything that
loving hands could do was done,
but God knows best and when
he called her home she had to go.
Rev. 0. T. Tarter conducted
the funeral services in the home.
He and wife also held prayer in
the home while visiting the bed
side of Nina and much attention
was given to the prayers by the
little sick one. A short while
before she fell asleep in Jesus
she told her mother she wanted
to hear Sister Tarter pray again.
Weep not mother and father,
she is not dead, only asleep in
Jesus awaiting the Resurrection.

A Time to Found Herds.

At the current range of prices
pedigree beef cattle are better in
vestments than they have been
for years. 1t is an opportune
time to buy and plant good bo-
vine seed. Under practical care
it will germinate into substan-
tial profits. Judicious invest
ments now are the foundation Oh
future increased values. Stud
ents Of the trade in registered
beef cattle stocks confidently ex-
pect a steady upward trend. 1t
has already set in, as ample evil
dence proves. Last week, for
instance, 122 Herefords sold in
West Virginia at an average Of
about $40. says Breeders Ga
zette.
According to trustworthy sta
tistics the United States is mark
eddy short of beef cattle. Our
consumptive capacity, which is
growing rapidly, is far ahead OF
production, so far as beef is con-
cerned. A strong, stable de-
mand calls for an improved
quality and a greatly increased
quantity of beef.
All signs discoverable by far
sighted men identified with the
productive industries indicate
that a period Of conservative,
deep-rooted prosperity has be-
gun. Every factor having a
bearing on stock husbandry in
America favors the founding and
upgrading of beef herds while
the iron of opportunity is suit
ably hot. Farmers who buy
pure-bred bulls or females now
will show as sound business
acumen as can be applied to
most human affairs.

Thanksgiving.
American

This is the month in which
there is a day set apart for ma
tional thanksgiving, though a
cheerful heart is thankful every
day. 1t is a good thing, howev-
er, for the people to be reminded
periodically of the fact that as
a nation we have much to be
thankful for, and whether we
celebrate the day simply or with
enough turkey and stuffing to in
vite indigestion, let us mark it
by a resolve to be better farmers
and better citizens than ever be-
fore. None Of us is too humble
or obscure to exert wholesome
influence, day by day. If we do
nothing more than greet our
neighbor with a cheerful face
and a kind word we shall shed a
benediction over an entire COM
munity. Let US therefore give
thanks not only upon one day of
the year but every day of our
lives.

Amusing "MaIprOp' Humor.

Most of us are acquainted with
Punch's joke concerning the son
of the house who, as he gallant
ly escorted the beauty of the
evening to her carriage, gushing
ly remarked: II have been wait
ing all the evening for this mo-
ment," says London Tid-Bits.
1t is an example of bungled
fiattery which compares very
favorably with the remark of an
unlucky admirer of the great
French actress, Nine. St. Denis
Her performance of cara" had
just been greeted with enthusi-
astic applause, and as she STEP
ped from the stage she said: ITO
act that we'll a woman should be
young and handsome" "Ah, no,

tunate man, in his anxiety to pay
the highest compliment possible,

the contrary"
Twice in one evening the great
novelist, Chaales Dickens, was

that of a member of Parliament

Don't keep turkeys penned
while fattening. They resent it
and sometimes lose their appe-
tite. A turkey needs exercise
and will not thrive long in close
quarters. 1t is a good plan to
have a house or shed, with re-
movable roosts, for turkeys to
stay in at night. One side, or at
least doors and windows should
be fitted with poultry-netting to
give ventilation. When the tur-
keys are to be caught, remoVA
the roosts as they interfere with
the work. If tur keys get their
will, they are sure to roost upon
the highest trees or roof of a
building.

The Shoulders Of the Horse.

Coming now to what is meant
by "harnessy', shoulders in a
saddler; the term is more or less
erroneous, for the reason that
the position of the shoulders
should be oblique in harness as

who use the term mean to con-
yey the idea that the shoulders
are more or less upright and the
vithers more or less thick and

Blackhead in turkey is bad
form of bowel and liver disease
combined. AS a rule, it is caus-
ed by overlooking. Too much
grain, with not enough sharp
grit to grind it, will usually bring
on an attack of indigestion which
soon turns to blackhead. Some
times the head, turns pale in
stead of black. The sick bird
should be removed from the

EXPLAINS DISCREPANCY
IN BIBLICAL ENUMERATION

LOS ANGELES Nov. 25.-[Editor
Herald: Your correspondent c. A.
Lane seeks information concerning
the apparent error in the enumerating
Of the generations from Abraham to
Christ as recorded by Matthew in the
opening chapter.
There are few Bible readers or stu
dents who have noticed that there is
one generation missing in summing
up the whole, there being but thirteen
from the carrying away of Babylon
to Christ, whereas there should be
fourteen to complete the forty-two as
recorded.
There are fewer still who have founu
the solution of this discrepancy.
This question must be answered by
the Book itself: Is there a generation
spoken of in the Bible that in the full
ness of time will be reckoned with
these recorded by Matthew? If there
is, what relation does 1t bear to Christ
The Messianic prophet Isaiah, speak
ing of Christ, declares that he (Christ
should "see his seed" Chapter sliii:1O) }
This, then. must be another genera
ton, and we find them referred to by
the Psalmist: "A seed shall serve
him; 1t shall be accounted unto the
Lord for a generation.
"They shall come, and shall declare
his righteousness unto a people that
shall be born, that he hath done this.
(Ps. xxii:30.)
1t is evident that this generation is
not yet come and cannot yet be reck-
oned with the others. For the Psalm
list declares that the Lord himself
should be the accountant.
"And of Zion it shall be said This
and that man was born in her: and
the highest himself shall establish her
"The Lord shall count, when he
writeth up the people, that this man
was born there" (Ps. S7;b-6)
And this seed. whom the Lord Will
count as a generation, were not to
come until the Lord should come to
build up Zion, and to appear in his
glory. and the Psalmist declares that
this prophecy concerning his second
coming should be written for the gen.
erations to come" psalm cii:1S)
The missing generation, then, is the
Bride of Christ-the Lambs wife
Jesus himself is now in a state of ex-
pectation until this generation is per
fected~ to be glorified together with
him. Note Heb. x:13, Luke xiii;32
Rom. viii:1S-19, Rev. Xix:7.
The Psalmist has much to say con-
cerning this people; calls them the
generation of the righteous" Cps
xiv:5) Says it is a generation that
will seek Gods face.

picked in this matter. j. r. KITS.

cially, so it seems to us, when con-
sidered from the standpoints of righte-
BUSINESS, civilization and humanity
They might excuse themselves on The
pretext that this is the age of self1sh-
ness. hypocrisy and expedients, etc
These subterfuges, If any, we do not
deem to be true and representative.
Their misleading and ottentlmes
shockingly vicious statements may De,
after all due to the lack of true under
standing of the realities of our people
and country. ,
With a view to ameliorate this miser-
able state of utter ignorance, or sucn
indefensible negligence on the part or
these papers, some plans should and
will sooner or later be proposed by the
initiated for the reciprocal visits be-
tween the Japanese and American
newspaper editors. This would prove
most effective in the last analysis

that this undertaking will bear no less
fruit than did the commendable works

SUGGESTS VISITS BETWEEN
U. S. AND JAPANESE EDITORS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 25.-[Editor
Herald: Now as ever not a single
cloud hangs over the Pacific ocean
which is threatening or inimical to the
interests and sentiments of both Amer
lea and Japan. of course there was q
time when the Pacific coast states
needed labor very badly for their
natural resources to be developed. The
labor flowed in from every quarter of
the globe, including the Orient. Later
these states wanted no more labor. In
consequence a perfect understanding
touching the immigration had to be Sc
cured between the governments con-
cerned therein.
Repeatedly has stress since then been
laid on the fact that there exists no
cause for conflict, either material or
controversial, between the govern
ments of Washington and Toxic lf
the government of this great republic
is "of the people, for the people and by
the people" there can be no reason why
the American people should fret about
that entente" and ignore the friendly
relationship which has existed for
nearly half a century. Why, then, this
continuity of warm, unbroken friend
ship? Simply because of our firm
trust in and your earnest realization Of
the messages contained in the fare
well address of George Washington.
If there Is now anything which tends
to break this bond of friendly union
that must be the yellow journals. We
cannot emphasize too much the harm

the personal integrity of the individual
and the general welfare of the com

SHOWS FARCIcAL NATURE OF
IMMIGRATION OFFICE METHODS

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2S.-[Editor
Herald: AS illustrating something of
the methods of the immigration office,
will recount my experience. When
had lived in Los Angeles three years
and had already long ago taken out
my first papers, | went with my family
to visit the old country. I left my
house and business, furniture and all
standing in charge of a friend. Yet
when we returned four months later
through Montreal, the United States
commissioner who boarded the vessel
persisted in questioning US, just as
though we were new arrivals, and gave
us passport" papers accordingly. The
absurdity ofothe whole thing is shown
by the fact that in these papers, which
no one collected and which have still

pounds, is given as 100 pounds, her

to be blue, and in the destination coll

HOLLYWOOD
n ETITIONS for the consolidation of
Hollywood with Greater Los An |
geles are being signed readily and

II ET1IlONS for the conSoIdatlOn OF
Hollywood with Greater Los An
\ geles are being signed readily and
rapidly. In this annexation or consol-
idation Los Angeles will have by far
the better end of the bargain, although
of course the residents of Hollywood
believe that i'm the long run the score
will be evened. BY this consolidation
there will be brought within the boun"
daries of Greater Los Angeles one of
the most beautiful, if not the most
beautiful, of the improved suburbs.
1t has miles of fine streets. all up to
metropolitan standard. evenly graded
and paved, with curbed sidewalks.
Magnificent residences grace these
streets and the architectural and ar
tificial lines are interrupted and diver
sified by splendid trees and profu-
sion of flowers.
As far as improvements are con-
cerned, Hollywood is metropolitan.
Every advantage which goes to make a
completely equipped city is possessed
by this suburb. The public schools are
excellent, both in respect of system
and of the buildings in which they are
housed. There is plenty of room for
the children of school age, and every
boy and girl in Hollywood is sure of
capital American education. The thor
oughness of the educational course was
confirmed by a recent bond issue for
a high school building. Enough school
land is owned to permit of extensions
and also 10 fulfill the ambition of
Hollywood to own a well equipped
modern polytechnic school.
The architectural beauty of Holly
woods school buildings and other ed
ifices is enhanced by the natural sur
roundings. The foothills in the Hol-
lywood direction undoubtedly are des-
tined to become popular among home
seekers, and the homes already in eX-
istence in this ideal residential district
represent every type of dwelling house
from simple, cozy little homes within
the reach of people of moderate means
or modest income, to those that cost
hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The Hollywood consolidation is one
that will be especially popular in Los
Angeles, inasmuch as since the compile
tion of the tunnel the suburb is prac-
ticany identified with the city and
within very easy access of the center
of business Los Angeles.
