NEEDED
NOT ESPECIALLY IN POLL
TICS BUT IN THE
CHURCH.
Presbyterian General Assembly
Advised to Go Out After the
Sinner, Instead of Asking the
Sinner to Come to the Church.
Union of Blue and Gray.

Denver, May 24.-Less of STATELY
treading" and more democracy less
lounging in the luxury of the church
waiting for the sinner to APPROACH and
more evangelism among the lowly were
the keynotes sounded at the general as.
sembly Of the Presbyterian church. The
lead in advocacy of this doctrine was
taken by John H. Converse, president
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works OF
Philadelphia, who in presenting his
report as chairman of the committee on
evangelistic work said that the church
had been altogether too dignified to GO
ont after the sinner and had been con-
tent to rest in state, awaiting the ap-
proach of the seeker for solace.
Gathering of Veterans
Other features of the assembly made
it noteworthy: One was the gathering
of the "blue and gray veterans. This
little assembly of grizzled warriors
was addressed by DR.. Barclay, the
moderator, who is a former Confeder-
ate veteran. Old times were revived
and a new comradeship vowed under
the banner of both church and state.
"Get out in automobiles, in carts, Oh
the curbstones, anywhere, only be sure
you win men to the church," was the
advice given by Mr.. Converse in his re-
port on evangelistic work. "There
was a time when we of the Presbyte-
rian church considered it beneath our
dignity to preach the gospel except
from the most luxurious churches, but
that time has passed. It is tin e now
to go to the sinner and not ask the sin
ner to come to vou."
Mr.. Converse gave facts connected
with the campaign of DR.. J. Wilbur
Chapman, the revivalist who is now
conducting meetings in Australia, it is
said backed financially by Mr.. Con-
verse. The latter was accord an
ovation as he took the platform and
was given a vote of thanks for his act
ivities in evangelistic work.
"The report of the committee on
ministerial relief was also presented.
This urged upon each congregation the
work of contributing literally to the
fund to be used in aid of s~uperannu-
ated clergymen whose salaries have
not been sufficient to enable them to
lay aside a competence.

For Alfalfa BlOat.

For Alfalfa BlOat.
If a case Of alfalfa bloat is discov-
cred in time an ounce of hypOsulphite
Of soda, dissolved in water, and given
as a drench will prove effective. This
can be repeated every half hour for
two or three doses. Two ounces of aqua
ammonia. well diluted with water or
common soda, in half unc doses can
be given. Many cases of bloat can be
relieved by causing the animal to
stand with the hind feet in a ditch and
the fore feet on the bank, as this pO-
sition causes belching. From two to
ten minutes time is required. Some
people claim to have observed that ex-
perienced bloaters learn to get them
selves into such a position for blow
ing off the burden. Blankets wrung
out of cold water and wrapped around
the abdomen or cold water dashed on
with q bucket often gives relief.

FEAR GOVERNMENT
MAY BREAK MERCER

Washington, May 25.-The sale of
stock by supposed insiders" of the
Union Pacific and their reinvestment
in Southern Pacific stock, noticeable
during the past few days, is thought
here to be the result of a fear that the
government will be successful in the
fight to break up the Southern Pacific
and Union Pacific merger.
It is believed the Union Pacific peo-
pie are holding back shares enough to
insure their control, and turning the
rest into the Southern Pacific.
The possibility of the government
securing a court order regulating the
voting of the Southern Pacific shares
now held by the Union Pacific, which
would throw control to the remaining
shares, makes it necessary for the in
terests now in control to have their
hands ON sufficient shares to assure
their supremacy.

"ShadOw of the Cross"
t Discussed Painting in the World to Be on !
Alaska Yukon-P Pacific Exposition.

Seattle, May 22-After several weeks
OF delicate negotiation, the directors Of
the Swedish building and exhibits at
the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition
nave succeeded in gaining from DR.. w.
l.. Wright, of Washington city, the
privilege of exhibiting Henry Ham
mond Ahl's miracle painting, "The
Shadow of the Cross"
The Shadow of the Cross" is prob
aoly the most discussed work ever pro-
ouced by an artist, not because the art
ISL intended that it should be, but be-
cause of conditions over which he had
no control and which, down to date,
neither clergyman nor chemist has
peen able to account for.

The work carried on by the bureau
relates entirely to injurious insects.
and the direct object of this work is
to discover remedial measures and to
make them known to the public. The
object of the work. therefore, is of the
most practical character, and every eff
fort is devoted to the practical end. 1t
has been conservatively estimated that
the United States suffers an annual
economic loss from injurious insects Of
n kind or another of surely $7OO,OOO,-
600. This estimate includes the dam
age done to agricultural industries, to
live stock and to stored products, to
forests and forest products, and to
other property, but it does not include
the economic loss to communities and
to the nation through the lessening Of
the productive capacity of the popula-
ton through the prevalence Of diseases
that are carried by the insects. such as
malaria, typhoid fever. yellow fever.
and possibly many others.

BEANS M GINGER.
~0o~o~~


It is told of an old-time boarding mis-
tress of Marblehead, a shrewd dame
who kept her boarders under admirable
control, that once, on Saturday night,
a daring man broke the unwritten law
Of the establishment, and asked a Sec
ond time for beans. At once several
others, who had not dared. but were
ready to follow a leader should he sue
coed, looked up expectantly.
The landlady promptly ladled into
the plate Of the rash innovator 4 last
spoonful, scraped from the deepest in
terror Of the dish, and sweeping the
table with a beaming smile, declared
triumphantly:
'sTheret l calculated on just enough
to a bean!"
Second helpings were otherwise dis
couraged by a boarding mistress Of
| Old Morley. A young school teacher,
late to dinner from a skating party, ate
little Of the half-cold and unappetizing
first courses, but ventured a second re-
quest for hot mince pie. 1t was served

"Missus is afraid all that pie won't

says, sha'n't she make you some ginger

The kind offer was declined but a
half-hour later the maid appeared
again.
"Missus says she's sure you must be
needin' ginger tea by now" she stated.
"She'l send some right up the minute

knocked once more.

Psstsetins Orchards fron F,,se.

Hpotocting Orchards from Fvoaa.
Some OF the South Texas orange
growers have taken up the study Of
devices to protect orchards against
winter cold. The California plan Of
burning oil In pipes laid throughout
the orchard and perforated at inter-
walls of so to 100 feet seems most like
~ to be favored In South Texas. This
region has the Oil at It's door, and oil
Is more easily handled than wood fires.
1t Is a certainty that South Texas or
ange orchards ought to be given this
protection, especially after the plant
ing of other and more delicate varie-
ties than the Satsuma becomes general.
1t may not be needed oftener than once
In two or three years, but at such times
1t will save orchards that, lacking
this protection, might be ruined. The
orchard fires in California, where oil
is burned, and in Florida, where wood
is handler and cheaper and therefore
most generally used, are regarded as a
legitimate and necessary charge
against the business. Not all the
growers make fires-there are some
men in every business that delight in
taking chances-but the majority Of
the best growers In both States, and
especially in California, are prepared
thus to ave their orchard investments.

to him in q fash, and arising, he. hur-
ried to his studio and took up again the
work on his picture.
When it was near completion he had
occasion to go one night to his studio.
He entered in darkness and was as
founded to encou tier a strange light
Which. upon close inspection, proved
to be an emanation from the picture
upon which he was at work.
Before him was a shadowy form Of
the Christ he was painting, but against
a background of changing light and
with a magnificent aura which he had
never painted. Athwart it all was the
shadow of the cross, and this, too, he
had not intended.
Ali worked not another day upon his
picture. He was of a deeply religious
nature and his unintentional results
impressed him SO strongly that he
would not again put brush to canvass,
but left the picture in the uncompleted
state.
Later it went into the hands of DR..
Wright, also a man of deep religious
feeling, and he has sent it about the
country at various times for exhibition
for the benefit.of religious and semi
religious organizations.
No one has been able to account for
the effects which the artist did not
paint. Chemists have tried, by anal
ysis to find some luminous quality in
the paint, but have found only the or
binary pigments. It has been the cause
Of contentious of much heat between
theologians, but it is today rs much a
miracle unsolved as it was IN the night
the artist came upon it in his studio.

Feeding Discarded Lambs.

Feeding Discarded lambs
mere are various ways suggested to
make a eve mother her own lamb or 4
twin from another eve that has not
enough milk for both.
Some advise whipping the W into
suDJection. but this is very cruel and
seldom satisfactory. When a eve loses
ner own lamb and it is desired to make
ner own another it has been recon-
mended to skin her own dead lamb and
tie the pelt we the lamb that is to
be adopted.
This plan is sometimes satisfactory
II the ewes sense Of smell is not very
keen, although 1t more often fails.
Other breeders have tried tying q dog
near by, claiming that the maternal in
stinct of the eve will exert itself and
1T will the lamb while trying to
shield it from the dog.
Perhaps the most satisfactory meth
cd when a eve refuses to own her
lamb is to fasten her in between hur-
dies.
This gives her a chance to eat and at
the same time prevents her from turn
Ing around to butt the lamb. In such
a position, however, the eve will often
lie down. This may be prevented by
passing a light pole through the hur-
dies, resting it on the lower bars be-
meath her belly.
The eve can be confined this way
throughout the day, and If the lamb
is at all lively he will manage to get
enough to eat. The 1--WE should always
be released 1T night.
A day or two Of such confinement is
often sufficient to bring an obstinate
eve to reason. Such hurdles can cas-
lily be made by any farmer, and 1t Is
well to have them on hand for Just
such emergencies. s

The only things we can really own
are those we are thankful for.
As men get nearer to God they find
1t easier to get along together.
God a make things plain to some
folks that He can't even hint at to
others.
The man who doesn't believe in a
hell has never seer a drunkard's
home.
There is a big place in this world
for the nan who does not despise the
day Of small things.
To get where sin can't shock you
Is to come very close to the Tlace
where God can't reach you.
Some people are so afraid Of doing
something sacrilegious that they don't
do anything that is religious.
1t is hard for the Lord to do much
in the meeting where the clock is
watched closer than the preacher.
The home was the first institution
God established in this world, and the
first the devil tried to break up.
Bear In mind that the devil gets a
boy by getting his father first, and
he may get yours in that very same
way.

good any more than you can drive
