SERMONETTES.

Humility is never conscious even Of
itself
Selfishness is the seed and sin is the
harvest.
Philosophical puppies are always
dogmatic.
To keep evil out helps to keep one
out of evil.
Meekness is the quiet that belongs
to the right.
To dodge the facts is in the end to
destroy the faith.
The only way to build on the rock
is to do the right
When a mans faith makes his head
hot it conceals his heart.
The sense of imperfection may be
the best evidence Of a saint.
Undue anxiety about white hands
often causes black hearts.
The prayer that rises in the heart
always works a way TO the feet and
the fingers.
People who think they were born to
regulate the world are always afraid
they will die from being overnight
eous.

Small Farmer I'm Alaska

There are fully $4,000 square miles
of Alaska suited for grazing or agri-
culture area equal to three-quar-
tiers Of the State of Ohio a writer In
the American Review of Reviews saws.
Make this accessible and develop local
markets and the farmer will come-if
not from the States, then from north
ern Europe, region which has al
ready furnished many good citizens to
Alaska. Finland supports 5000, 900
people and exports agricultural prod
ucts. Yet the Finnish colonist will
find in Alaska a better climate and
soil than in his native land. Be # re-
membered, however. that Alaska is far
from an ideal farming region. The
growing season IS short and the win
ters long and severe. 1t will probably
never furnish agricultural products ex-
cept for local consumption, but that
such a market will prove a lucrative
one is shown by the success Of the
many small farms and gardens al
ready under cultivation.

Looks Like Conspiracy
The Republican platform was based
upon the position taken by our preSideu-
tial candidate long before the convention
met, and his subsequent position upon
tariff revision downward was in perfect
harmony with the platform on which he
stood. Is IT possible that you and SEN
ator Aldrich entered into a conspiracy
to secure the adoption of the Senate bill
for the purpose of disCrediting the Pres
ident by repudiating his pledges and the
platform of the Republican party? TAX
ing all the facts as they appear in the

LAW OF RECIPROCITY.

By Rev. E. W. Casweu.
1t is more blessed to give than to
recefve.-Acts 20:35.
This text Is the embodiment of one
of the greatest of truths-the law OF
reciprocity. Similar passages In the
Scriptures are: whatsoever man
soweth, that shall he also reap"
Give, and 1t shall be given unto you;
Bear We one another's burdens, and SO
fulfill the law Of Christ
Giving is like an endless circle. 1t
is casting bread upon the waters,
which returns in multiplied abundance
after many days. 1t Is the seed in the
soil, bursting into golden harvest. 1t
is the banker, giving out to the Dor
rover till the interest exceeds the prin-
cipal. It Is the philanthropist, receiv'
ing the gratitude Of mankind. 1t is
the martyr missionary, losing his life
to find it. It is the discoverer and
inventor like Hendrix Hudson and
Robert Fulton, giving their genius for
the welfare of the people and receiv-
ing, generations afterward, the plaud-
its and thanksgiving of the world, be
cause of the glory Of their achieve
ments.
Men who give get bills of exchange
on Gods banking house, the interest
of which is paid as we need 1t along
the journey of life, while the principal
awaits your arrival in the eternal city.
Giving is the philosophers stone,
which, instead of turning everything
into gold, turns gold into everything
into halls of learning, libraries OF
information, missions for millions,
homes for the homeless, Christ for the
Christless, and life, eternal life, for
the dying.
The returning compensation for all
noble deeds comes in that which Is
better than an equivalent; in a love
and gratitude unpurchasable, as 1t Is
unfading and unspeakable in its glory
and blessedness. 1t Is the crown of
character on the brow Of the individ-
ual or nation, respondent, immortal.
Even though your gift Is unappre-
ciated or misapplied, it is trreversibly
recorded in your being. Children may
be undutiful, but the parents are
blessed on account of their expressions
Of kindness and care. Husbands may
be drunken or brutal, but the wife
who struggles patiently on has her re-
ward In her own soul, and it may be
the final redemption of her lost one.
The Divine Christ, who gave Himself
upon the cross as a Saviour as an ex-
ample of infinite selfsacrifice, pos
sesses a name above every name and a
throne universal and eternal.

MATRIMONIAL DIARY.

Within recent months we have
noted that more and more frequently
diaries have been Introduced into
divorce trials kept by one or both
parties to the suit Sometimes these
diaries were begun long previous to
any opGn disagreement between man
and wife, when one or the other may
have ben unconscious of any infelicity
between them. In such a case the I'M
suspecting one, all unguarded in his
or her innocence, has been daily re-
cording in the accusing book, every act
that would be prejudiced in the eyes
Of court or jury set down in black
and white and in cold blood. There Is
no distinction in law between divorce
sought In a hot temper and divorce
with malice aforethought
We sincerely trust that the holy
bonds of matrimony" will not become
generally yitiated by the practice of
keeping a diary dating from the we'd
ding day, and that bride and groom

KIDNAPPED IN AN AUTO.
Two Kansas City Chauffeurs Who Aided
in Incubator Baby" Theft Are
Now in Custody

KANSAS CITY, Mo, Aug. 24.-TwO
Kansas City chauffeurs carried Mrs.
James Barclay of Buffalo, n. ", j. \.
Gentry and second man from Kansas
City to Topeka on Saturday last when
the 6-year-old incubator baby, Marian
Bleakley, was kidnapped from the home
of its mother, Mrs. j. ]. Bleakley.
This fact developed today when the
local police located Ray" Ross and Viii
liam Buoy, two boyish looking chauf-
feurs, employed by local automobile
delivery company. The boys told In
spector of Detectives Edward Boyle
that Mrs. Barclay, Mr.. Gentry and an
other man had engaged them at Kansas
City early Saturday.
Ross said he was ignorant of the
nature of the business for which they
had been engaged.

Much OF the worry of this busy
American life of ours which sometimes
results In dependency and despair
Is, after ALL only borrowed trouble, az
if there was not trouble enough in
the present without purloining from
the future? The rich man in the up
lift Of prosperity, fears the down
plunge Of adversely and is sure that
he Will die poor, and so his fears
strangle his faith We grow irritable
and complain of Gods treatment of
US. We forget that His setting sun
shall rise again. We complain when
He gives US anything good that He
does not give US everything good We
do not get half the sweetness out of
life.
1t is not by dead forms and stag
nant rituals, but by the invinctble
logic Of holy and consistent lives that
the enemies Of truth are to be van
quished There is a parable which
sets forth this very beautifully. It
runs this: "One day David the King
of Israel sat on Mt. Zion. His harp
was before him and he leaned his
head upon It, Then the prophet, Cad,
came to him and said: 'Whereon
museth my Lord the King?' David
answered: On the continual changes
of my destiny. How many songs Of
Joy and gratitude have I sung to this
harp, but how many songs also of
mourning and sorrow Be thou like
unto the harp said the prophet. What
meanest thou?' asked the King. Be
hold answered the man of God, both
thy sorrow and thy joy drew heaven
" sounds from the harp, and animal
ed It's strings" Thus let Joy and
sorrow form thy heart to celestial
harp. The strains Of the harp would
give forth no music unless they were
fretted. Let us let God attune our
lives into harmony with His provt
dences as they are working all about
US and within US, and after all is
done the final uplift will carry us to
the threshold Of the celestial city.
And he who lifts US up there will
never cast us down again.

Formerly it was the custom to take
visitors through the vaults in the treas

stored, but since a small boy, tempted
by the immense amount of gittering
gold and silver, cut one of the bags with
his pocket knife and made away with
the two "cartwheels," the heavy one
dollar silver pieces are referred to, the
vaults have been closed to all visitors,
excepting those who get permission from
