Each Sunday the parson rode three
miles to church. On this particular SUM-
day it was raining very hard. He rode the
the distance on horseback and, when he
reached the church, was soaking wet.
Several Of the good old sisters who were
there early placed a chair before the fire
for him and hung his wet coat up to dry.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR.
Prayer Meeting Topic For the Week
Beginning Feb. Z, 1909.
By REV. s. II. DOYLE.


Beginning Feb. 7, 1909.
By REV. s. II. DOYLE.
Topic-Our Christian Endeavor COM
rades the world over.-Ps. xcvfA. Is
christian Endeavor day.
On Tuesday evening, Feb. 2. 1905, the
Christian Endeavor movement was
twenty-eight years old. On that date
DIR. Clark and his band Of faithful
workers met together to organize
society simply for usefulness IN their
own church But God had greater
things In store for them. That little
meeting was to become historic. The
name Of Francis e. Clark was to be-
come a household word in Christian
homes the world over. That enc So
ctety was to have others added to it
until it reached the thousands, and
under their motto, For Christ and the
church. millions of young people
throughout the world were to become
enrolled. Thus Christian R1deavor
after twenty eight years is world
wide organiza ton, and in celebrating
IT'S twenty eighth anniversary what
finer suggestion could have been made
than that we should think of al eur
comrades in Christian Endeavor.
To think Of the Endeaverers the
world over and to know that they are
thinking of US Is most inspiring. As
we think of those in England, Europe.
China, Japan, Africa and the islands
Of the sea they think of us in Ameri-
ca. and may there be great blessings as
the result.
And what shall we think of the sth-
er Christian Endeavorers2 What bet
ter to think than Just that we are
comrades; that. though we have not
seen each other, vet we arc bo~na to
gether by precious common ties. the
ties of Christian Endeaver and. above
all, the tie that binds us al to Christ
and through Him to one anotherf
Blest be the tie tfsat hlals
IS. Our hearts in Christian lDwa
/ The fellowship e kindred A1n4B
Is like to that above.
Moreover, we are comrades IN de-
vUtion, In prayers and IA the reading
Of Gods word-comrndes Of the Quiet
Hour, whether SO enrolled sr not, for
an Endeavorers pray at enc oosanAon
mercy seat.
Though sunder far.
By faith we meet
Around one common mercy seat.
Then, too. we are comrades in Chris
t4an service. What aze CirEtRN III
deavorers the world over donig2 Do
ing what He would like to have ~ do
trying By His grace to lead Chris
ran lives. to bring sunshine hlts the
Ayes Of those about us and, above ali,
trying to lead sozk - Him tsant Ufey
may be saved. And In our prayer
meetings and society work we are
comrades.
We study the same topics. think tAe
same thoughts, offer up the same pc
tftfons IN prayer and engage n work
- the same committees.
And as we think Of all osr nuner-
Gus comrades let rs strive to live
Rttle closer to the Master. do little
more for Him, bring just little more
joy and brightness into darkened hu-
man lives. Let Us do i THAI we may
not fall short Of the sta ndard Of cur
comrades and, above all. through m
Increased love for Him whose we
are and whom we serve"-the greatest
and best Of an our comrades.

his brother had hitched to buggy

Fred took something out, small

pushed or pulled against the trig-

gun was discharged. The only
thing that saved Fred's life was
the buggy spring, The heavy part
of the load hit the spring and

"Ohio Jimmie" Leaves Souvenirs

Chas. Chamberlain who was
sentenced to the penitentiary last
week for burglarizing L. A. Bis
santz's store at Sun City, presented
souvenirs to Judge Gillett and
Sheriff Mathews after sentence had
been pronounced. He gave Judge
Gillett his skeleton keys with
which he has been carrying on his
business so many years, explaining
to the Judge that on account of
new plans he would not need them
for several years, at least. Sheriff
Mathews was favored with a gold
half dollar coin which is a rare
keep sake and not often obtainable
these days. Chamberlain saysi it is
one of the few things of his earthly
possessions that he got honestly.
He said he got it from Spaniard
in Texas.
J About ten years ago Mr.. Cham
EbeIlain was sent to the penitentiary
from this county. He broke inte
the Santa Fe depot at Hazelton
and stole some money. At that
time he gave his name as Art John
son and his "stage" name was
"Ohio Jimmie" and he still clings
to the name.

Mrs. James Potter of Gage. Oklaho-

c. B. Wainscott has sold his farm
at an advance Of $500 and this too be-
fore he got his deed from Mr.. Thomp-

pie are not scared over dry season.
We have at least walked up a few
farmers on the weed question. We are
going to keep right on until something
/ is done. If there ever was fellow
that hated to fight weeds we are that
fellow. One Of the ways to avoid it is
for everybody to do his part toward
keeping them down.
Since the chicken stealing business has
gotten to be so common most of our
women folks are sleeping with one eye
open and on the first indication of trou-
bic at the hen house they arouse the
men folks and start out for business, al
least that is the way It works at our
place. A few nights ago we were
aroused from our peaceful slumbers and
notified that there was trouble at the
hen house. We kicked but finally
crawled out and took the old shot gun
and investigated only to find that one ole
hen was trying to crowd another off the
roost. Since then we have let then
squall it out.

to leave here fer their new home II

ing the evening it is needless to say thai
all had good time. When they ge
ready to load their goods they will be
greatly relieved by not having so many
good Missouri apples to handle for those
who were there proved they liked BIZ

cellent family leave us, but they go witt

When a Turkish lady gives a 'challva,
or tea party, her husband is p]erforce eX-
cluded from the harem while the strange
women are in the house. These guests be-
gin to arrive toward 8, accompanied by
their maidservants and negroes, carrying
lanterns and bringing their children with
them.
Closely muffled, they divest themselves
OF their burnouses and babouches in an
ante-room and put on delicate satin slip
pers, which they have brought with them
in bags. The reception rooms are bril-
liantly lighted UP with pink wax candles
and scented with fragrant pastilles.
There is no kissing or handshaking be-
tween the hostess and her guests, but each
lady, as she comes in, raises her hand
gracefully to her heart, her lips and her
brow, which means II am devoted to you
with heart, mouth and mind" This mode
of salutation, when smilingly performed,
is very pretty.
The greeting being ended, the company
seat themselves on chairs, If there be any
foreign ladies present; If not they betake
themselves 10 the dlvans and carpets, while
the children go eff all together to be re-
called and 20 lCmp in some other room.
