President Eliot's Visit.

The visit of President Eliot to the
University Of Texas and the city OF
Austin is typical of his experiences
during his stay of ten days in Texas.
To Judge from the newspaper &C
counts his visits to Dallas, Austin,
San Antonio, College Station, Hous-
ton and Galveston have been n long
ovation. His program at the Unlver-
sity Of Texas and at Austin was as
follows: At 10 o'clock in the morning
there was a presentation Of the facul-
ties of the university to President
Eliot in the regents room; at 1918

ference which lasted half an hour,

Reward of Honesty.

One day last week a teacher in Boil
ton school picked up in the street a
chamois bag, and, peering inside, saw
some diamonds. Advertisements tell
ing of the loss Of $4,000 worth Of dia-
monds led the school teacher to the
residence of the owner, the wife of a
downtown merchant. Incidentally a
reward was offered, but the woman
who found them is of character too
high to make a reward a thing to be
considered in such a case. She car
ried the diamonds to the woman who
had lost them and the latter seized
them with all the joy that a woman
could possibly show on the recovery
Of her jewels.
"And now" said the woman, "you
shall have a reward of $40 il you
take it out in trade in my husbands
shop"
The school teachers ems of hum
or prevented her from showing any
disgust, and she told the owner that
she could not think Of taking a re-
ward for common honesty, and was
only too glad to find the owner. Dur.
ing the conversation the woman was
counting the diamonds, and she sud-
denly broke out with:
"One of them is missing! One OF
them is missing! What are you go.
ing to do about that?"
1.-The best I can do about that" re.
ulied the school teacher, "is to wish
that more were missing. Good day."

THE USEFUL SWALLOWS.
Light Cavalry of the Avian Army and
the Friends Of the Farmer.

From the standpoint Of the farmer
and the orchardist perhaps no birds
more useful than the swallows exist.
They have been described as the light
cavalry of the avian army.
Specially adapted for flight and un-
excelled in aerial evolutions, they
have few rivals in the art of captur-
ing insects in midair. They eat moth
ing of value to nan except a few
p]redaceous wasps and bugs, and in
return for their services in Destroy
ing vast numbers of noxious insects
ask only for harborage and protec-
ton.
It is to the fact that they capture
their prey on the wing that their
peculiar value to the cotton grower
is due. Orioles do royal service in
catching weeyils on the bolls, end
blackbirds, wren, fycatchers and
others contribute to the good work,
but when swallows are migrating
over the cotton fields they find the
weevils flying in the open and wage
active war against them. AS many
as fo~rty-seven adult weevils have
been found in the stomach of a single
cliff swallow.-Builetin Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture!

Two youthful Nimrods, living in

on a hunting trip through the woods
for squirrels several days ago were
followed by a cougar which when fin
ally detected by the boys was killed.
The hide of the beast measured over
eight feet in length and was shipped

Dogs Guard Hunters Gun.

Three hunting dogs belonging to
Harry Smith, Of Berlin, Pa, spent
Saturday night on a mountain road
guarding Smiths gun where it had
fallen. Smith and his three fox
hounds after a days hunt returned
late in the afternoon to a wagon
which had been left near the road.
The dogs stirred up some animal?
and Smith drove on after placing r.
gun in the wagon.
The dogs did not come home that
night and Smith found he had lost
his gun. Going back over the road
he discovered his three dogs lying
beside the gun, where it had been
jolted from the wagon. The dogs
coming upon the gun, decided to
guard it until their master should ap-
pear. - Cumberland Correspondence

cage Brethren of Perils That
Beset Them.
81 myself have known OF a lumber
of most diabolical plots to entrap
and ruin men Of God who were doing
in entire innocence what they deemed
to be their duty. These plots are by
no means uncommon in downtown
churches"
This statement was made by the
Rev. w. E. Barton, pastor or the
CONGREGATIONAL Church at Oak PARK,
near Chicago, in explaining certain
remarks which he had made earlier In
the day on 1.-The Ministry and Wo-
men" before the Presbyterian Minis
ters' Conference in the Ohio Build
ing.
Mr.. Barton had drawn at the con-
ference such a picture of a preacher
without guile beset by designing Wo-
men as made his hearers tremble.
IT recall a circumstance" he said
in response to a question put by an
other minister, which was decidedly
Embarrassing to me. One of my con-
g~regation, a young woman, remained
after service and asked to speak to
me privately in my church study.
Her father and mother had both come
to me and urged me to see her.
II went into that conference with
mistaken innocence and with n
spirit of God in my heart, and yet
before 1 emerged from my study was
inexpressably shocked and grieved
to find that the woman had a pur-
pose quite other than the n had
imagined by seeking to talk with me
alone. I was obliged to chide her"
"a minister" he said, should
have q wife, and only n wife, and
he should be absolutely loyal to her;
he should never remain for one min
ute alone in the church study with the
street door unlocked.

to more temptation than any other
public men, and they should be so

possibly enter their doors. If the
study door is left unlocked there is
no telling at what moment some one
may enter whose presence there
might give rise to suspicion, nor IS
there any telling what may come OF
an interview.
"The minister should not lay him.
self open to temptations by remain
ing in his study after the janitor has
left the church. When the janltor
leaves the clergyman should close
his study. Take your wives with
you on ministerial visits"
One of the ministers said that he
invariably had his wife answer the
telephone, because a woman can spy
out evil motives in another woman
more rapidly than a man.
