their methods:
Many years ago, before l knew as
much of Japan as l do now, writes Mr.
Lloyd In telling the story, l was one
evening at supper, when young man
came to the house, wanting to see
me. 1t was winter, and there was a
fire in my hall, so l asked him to wait
until | had finished my meal. which
seemed for the moment TO be the most
important in the world.
After supper l talked with him. He
was very plausible, and professed a
great interest in Christianity, and
eventually left me- giving me an adj
dress and promising TO come again.

to get into my jinrikisha to go to
school, my rug was missing. My

KenoSha Official Positively Identifies
Body of Highland Park Bank
Robber

KENOSHA, Wis, Oct 14-[Spc-

went to Highland Park this morning and
positively identified the body of the bank
robber who killed himself there on
Wednesday afternoon as that of Martin
Becker, who was wanted here on IL
charge of shooting the chief ON the night
of July last.
The chief at once telephoned to Ike
nosha to have other men who had seen
Becker in Kenosha TO come to Highland
Park to complete the identified ton.
At the time of the shooting Becker
had been taken into custody by Chief
O'Hare as horse thief suspect and as
the two reached the office of the police
department Becker pulled his revolver
and fired, the bullet striking the chief in
the left breast and narrowly missing the
heart. The Kenosha chief entirely re-
covered from his wounds
Notwithstanding the positive identiii-
cation by O'Hare, some Kenosha per

HUDSON AND FULTON.

by hSf. L. w. snyder.
Herein is that saying true, One SOW
eth and another reapeth; other man
labored and We are entered into their
labors. st. John 4:37, SO.
In thinking of Hudson and Fulton
and of what they did for US we may
well say herein is that saying true,
one soweth and another reapeth; other
men labored and ye are entered into
their labors."
However different their work, Hud-
son and Fulton had one characteristic
in common, without which they could
not have done what they did for US.
1t was the gift of insight. There is a
wonderful difference between looking
and seeing.
Long before Hudson sailed the sea
in his little Half Moon other white
men had looked at our great North
river, but in looking at it Hudson
saw it. That is, he saw its signifi-
canoe, and so he explored it and told
men all about it. Long before Column
bus discovered America some of the
old vikings may have landed on the
New England coast, but they never in
diligently saw the new world that
Columbus discovered.
AS in the case of Hudson, so also
in the work Of Fulton we zee the
great difference between looking and
seeing Before Fulton began the pa

SERMONETTES.

The love that is not lived soon dies.
The great chances never come by
chance.
Most of our cares are cured by care
for others.
Great characters shine out through
small crevices.
Life is never healthier for taking re-
ligion as a pill.
He cannot be a saint who makes
the world sour.
People who give sunshine never have
to beg sympathy.
Seeing the purpose of pain robs it
of it's power to hurt.
Only dead faith can be separated
from living mortals.
Life would leave us all fools but for
the lessons Of affection.
Pessimism is usually another name
for habitual introspection.
No man is fit for another world who
is not efficient in this one.
A man never improves his character
by posing for a reputation.
Man rises above the beast as he sur
mounts the instinct of selfshness.
They who have time to burn never
light the world on the right road.
There is a world of difference be-
tween self-reverence and self-adora-
ton.
There is always tendency to mis-
take the appendix of religion for it's
heart.
When the small man reaches the
limits of his brain he thinks he has
come to the coasts of the infinite.

DoN'Ts FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't fail to live the truth If you
would be faithful to it.
Don't persuade other people beyond
your own convictions.
If the average man doesn't get all
that's coming to him he is lucky
People who set a good example
never know what it will hatch out.
The girl with sparkling eyes is apt
to possess a lot of blooming cheek.
Don't make the mistake of burying
your talent lest your future time be
occupied in sowing vices.
