Tribulation and Triumph.

The beginnings Of the church were
marked by ceaseless prosecutions. To be
q disciple in the time of Paul meant to
be suspected, hated, plotted against and
frequently to be put to death. But to be
missionary meant that the fires Of
persecution were to be heated seven times
hotter than usual. 1t meant that merci-
less and ceaseless persecution should be
let loose against them. Paul came to
accept it. Everywhere there we're Jews
to whom he was an apostate: a creature
unfit to live. because, as they thought. he
was seeking to overthrow the religion of
their fathers. He was, therefore. one
whom 1t was the duty of every Jew to

Doctors Pulled His Leg.

Fresno, CAL, Aug. 26. "A unique
surgical operation has been performed
at the Fresno Couny hospital, in the
lenthening of a mans leg by nearly an
inch by means of inserting a steel
staple.
Nearly two years ago Fred Nicholson
had his leg broken in oil drilling at Coal
inga. In treating the break, the leg
was badly handled and shortened. The
mans leg was entirely useless and
Doctors T. M. Sample and Frank Nc
Majon decided upon novel procedure
to enable the man to have the use of
his limb.
1t took 21a hours to treat the leg sue
cessfully SO that it would be of the nor
NAL length.
The operation is declared to be sue
cessfull, and Nicholson expects to be
about and to have the use of his leg
within a month.

NORTH POLE REACHED
Dr.. Frederick Cook. American Ex-

Absence, Claims Vic

Paris, Sept. 2.-Dr. Frederick A.
Cook in signed statement this (Thurs-
day. morning in the Paris edition of the
New York Herald says: After a pro-
longed fight with famine and frost, we
at last have succeeded in reaching the
North Pole. A new highway, with an
interesting strip of animated nature
has been explored and big game haunts
located which will delight sportsmen
and extend the Esquimaux horizon.
Lands have been discovered on which
rests the earth's northermost rocks. A
triangle thirty thousand square miles in
extent has been cut out of the terres-
trial unknown. The expedition was
the outcome of summer cruise in the
Arctic seas by the schooner Bradley.
which arrived at the limits of naviga-
ton in Smith Sound late in August in
1907. Here conditions were favorable
for launching venture to the pole.
j. R. Bradley literally supplied me
from his vessel with suitable provisions
for local use.
My own equipment for emergencies
served well for every purpose in the

Explorer Cook and the Pole.

In the matter of Explorer Cook hav-
ing reached the North Pole, the news
is both startling and gratifying. If it
is true, so much the better; if fake,
it is something different" anyway.
1t is well, perhaps, for Explorer Cook,
that the late lamented P. T. Barnum is
absent at the South Pole, or he would
be besieged with offers to buy the new
find to exhibit over the country. There
is consolation in the fact that both DIR.
Cook and Mr.. Barnum were Americans.

The Newspaper.

Theodore Roosevelt, special contrib.
uting editor to the Outlook, in a re.
cent issue of that magazine has the fol-
lowing to say of newspapers:
The big newspaper, owned or con-
trolled in Wall street, which is ever
lastingly preaching about the iniquity
of laboring men, which is quite willing
to hound politicians for their misdeeds,
but which with raving fury defends all
the malefactors of great wealth, stands
on an exact level with that other news
paper whose whole attack is upon men
of wealth, which declines to condemn,
or else condemns in apologetic, per-
functory and wholly inefficient manner,
outrages committed by labor.
This latter is the kind of paper which
by torrents of foul abuse seeks to stir
up bitter class hatred against every
man of means simply because he is a
man of means.

What's the use of growing oldf
Not the slightest bit.
AT threescore a man need not
Fold his arms and quit.
That's what the professor says
Calm your doubts and fears,
You can just be starting in
At one hundred years.
1t is easy. SO they say
Who have never tried.
Only heed to have the rules
Thoroughly applied.
Just like falling off a log
Backward, they allow,
But they always die before
They have shown US how.
Once in every little while
Some one comes along
Who can beat the dying game
Or his guess is wrong.
He can tell you what to do
So you'll last and thrive
For century or two
And still be alive.
What's the use of dying young.
Dropping off for keeps.
AT the age of ninety-two?
Hear them sigh, He sleeps"
You can spend some fifty more
Years of pleasant ease.

Show us. IL you please.
