Ways Of Praying.

Some time since we indicated seven
different ways of giving: "The selfish
way, equal way, proportionate way
etc." 1t has often occurred to us
that the Word of God hints many
ways of praying also, and their men
ton may show their defect and neces.
sary lack Of prevailing power. For
instance:
l.. The formal way-when prayer
is a mere form of words, with little Of
no heart, or when 1t Is simply due to-
the force of habit which has '"st ito
real motive power. f. gfgr
2. The hurried way-hastening
: through it as a disagreeable and trk.
some duty-a duty, indeed, but not .
delight, and to be dismissed as quick.
ly as may be.
8. The selfish way-when the real
motive is to consume the covesed
blessing upon ourselves-in some ~
to promote our own selfish adva ..age
or pleasure.
4. The impulsive way-praying az
the feeling prompts, and when We
feel SO inclined-without any definite
i plan Of prayer in our lives, or devious
habit.
L s.. The faithless way-with no rear
dependence on the promises OF God,
or confident expectation Of receiving
what we ask or seek.
6. On the contrary, there is the
thoughtful way, seeking to mediate
upon God, and intelligently under.
stand both the nature Of prayer and
the good we seek.
-. The earnest way-withJ the at.
tention of the mind and the desire oil
the heart absorbed in asking, with 9.
determination to ~persevere. !
s. The trustful welcoming IA
the spirit Of a child; first believing
that Gods promises justify prayer
and then that we are coming TO D
Father both able and willing.
9. The consistent way--that Isl
living as we pray, and so walking
with God as to be in the way OF bless
ing, and by fellowship with GOD In
.yiting it.
10. The spiritual way-so cult.
waiting acquaintance with the Holy,
Spirit that He can and does breathe
in us first the desires we breathe our
in prayer.
It is easy to see why we so often
fail, and how we may succeed.-Mls

PATRIOTISM IN KOREA.
Where Men Would Be Run Over JUST
To Warn Their Emperor.

"
Ont of Korea comes a story or inc
fanatical devotion shown to the snao.
ow Empero of the land by those or
his subjects who still resent the rule
of the Japanese and view each move
of their virtual masters with deep
suspicion. In this instance several
patriots were willing to let tnem"
selves be run over by a railroad tram
if only his Majesty might be warned
by their death that he was flying into
a trap set for his feet by Prince ITO.
A month ago the Emperor an
nounced that he was going to leave
Seoul and take a trip to Fusan' d
most easterly city of the peninsula
and wholly a Japanese settlement.
This was an .unprecented thing lot
the Emperor to do, since for countess
generations Korean Kings and EN-
perors had been content to sit In d
Hall of Congratulations in the Null
berry palace at Seoul and let subjects
from other parts of the land come to
them to pay. them homage. Despite
the protests Of the patriots Prince
Ito, who was engineering the trip
ruled and the Emperor set out over
the Seoul-Fusan railway to visit the
seaport at the other terminal.
It became known by. the Koreans
along the route that the Japanese bat
tleship Azuma was at anchor in n
harbor of Fusan, and that a part OF
the welcoming ceremonies hat were
to occur in Fusan was to be a lunch
con to the Emperor on board the snip.
Immediately the rumor grew to h
conviction that as soon as Prince Ito
had the Emperor safely on the
Azuma's deck anchor would be hoist
ed and the last of the line Of Korean
rulers would be whisked of to Japan,
there to die in a dungeon.
Perhaps the simple Koreans had
some justification for believing that
the crafty Resident General would
like to execute a coup like that; GER
;tainly the hand of the Japanese had
made such startling moves on the
imperial chess board at Seoul that
even a duplication of the murder
that was done in the Mulberry palace
some years ago at the instance OF a
Japanese Minister would not seem
improbable to the Koreans.
At any rate the Emperor had his
luncheon on board the battleship In
Fusan harbor and vas put safely back
on his own territory again. During
the course Of the luncheon Prince
Ito made conversation by telling the
puppet ruler that he had learned that
at Taiku, one of the large towns on
the line of the railway, a party OF
patriots, convinced that the Emperor
was going to his doom, had deter
mined to lay themselves upon the
rails as his train approached the sta
ton. They had believed that by this
act of sacrifice their monarch might
be made to see that he was approach
ing immediate danger.
The patriots had been dissuaded by
a very material japanese policeman.

Great Trek Of Caribou.

The greatest herd Of caribou ever
reported ir the Yukon is now report
ed moving southwark across the head
of Sixty Mile River, 100 miles west
of Dawson. The herd has been cross
ing there for nearly thirty days. 1t
is estimated that 100000 caribou
have crossed already. The end of the
mammoth procession is not in sight.
There may be half a million or even
a larger number in. the great moving
herd.-Tacoma Ledger.

Must Label Inferior Fish.

AS many packers put up hump
back" and dog" salmon under fancy
names and thus sell them to consum-
ers who believe them to be superior
varieties, the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington, D. c., ordered
that these fish when canned should be
labeled with their common names.
The decision also says that the fish
commonly known as lake herring
should be so called, but not desig-
mated "whitefish." ~.

WE LAY Us DOWN TO SLEEP,

We lay us down to sleep,
And leave to God the rest;
Whether TO wake and weep
Or wake no more be best.
Why vex our souls with care:
The grave is cool and low
Have we found life SO fair
That we should dread to 60?
We've kissed loves sweet, red lips,
And left them sweet and red;
The rose the wild bee sips
, Blooms on when he is dead.
Some faithful friends we've found,
But they who love US best,
When we are under ground
Will laugh on with the rest,
No task have we begun
But other hands can take.
No work beneath the sun
For which we need to wake
Then hold us fast, sweet death,
If SO it seemeth best
To Him who gave us breath
That we should 60 to rest.
I'VE lay US down to sleep,
Our weary eyes we close;
Whether to wake and weep
Or wake no more. He knows

Just Criticism is Good.

Higher criticism has come to des-
ignate a higher form of modern III"
belief. But when thus used the term
Is misleading. Criticism both higher
and lower is a perfectly legitimate
process for studying the Bible-the
former having to do with HISTORICAL
and literary features. while the latter
deals only with the text. 1t is q
conclusions, which certain students
have come to as a result OF their
study Of the Bible by the higher
methods, to which the term higher
criticism" is now usually applied.
This is wrong; higher criticism leads
as many to believe the Bible as II
leads to disbelieve it; the former are
believers and the latter are unDe-
levers. that is, inidels; thus. "hign,
er infdels" and higher infidelity'
would be more correct, certainly cas-
ier to be understood. appellatives Q

THE TALE OF
A DIAMOND

Many years ago the Greeks told Of
an old man who dwelt in the bowels Of
the earth and had a beautiful daugh-
ter. They wandered from place to
place thru the underground and at long
intervals he brot her out into the sun
light. When men saw her they were
smitten with her wondrous beauty. But
if they approached he would drag her
back into the earth. In her lonliness
she shed many tears, and as they
touched the cold earth they crystallized
into wonderful stones that shone and
cast out streams of light. Men dug
and dug. but never again did they
glimpse the maiden. Here and there
they would find the frozen tears, and
then they would hang them about their
necks or wear them on their fingers
or give them to their women folk.
To this day men dig for the frozen
tears. that are the capitalization OF
sunshine, and when they find them
value them more than gold. G. F. Ru-
dolph the jeweler, at Fourth and Mar
ket SITS, has some very fine specimens

Conclusion.

Speaking generally, the country is
in q high state Of prosperity. There is
every reason 10 believe that we are. on
the eve OF a substantial business ex-
pansion. and we have just garnered a
harvest unexnmpled In the market val
ue Of our agricultural products. The
high prices which such products bring
mean great prosperity for the farming
community; but. on the other hand.
they mean very considerably increas-
ed burden upon those classes in the
community whose yearly compensation
dpes not expand with the improvement
in business aud the general prosperity
Various reasons are given for the high
prices. The proportionate increase in
the output of gold. which today is the
chief medium Of exchange and is in
some respects a measure Of value. fur
nishes a substantial explanation Of at
least part Of the Increase in prices.
The increase IN population and the
more expensive mode of living of the
people. which bave not been accom-
panied by proportionafe increase in
acreage production. may furnish fur
Tier reason. Il is well to note that the
Increase IN the cost Of living is not
confined to this country. but prevails
be world over. and that those who
would charge increases in prices to the
visiting protective tariff must meet
81 fact that the rise In prices has
AIKEN place almost wholly in those

respect to which there has been either
no increase IN the tariff or IN many
