PerQuisites at Hungerford and Priv
ueGes of NevcastIe's Mayor.
Though kissing is said TO go by
favor, yet it sometimes goes By Gus
tom, and occasionally by law, says
Tit-Bits. For instance, there is Gus
tom connected with Hocktide at Hun
gerford, a festival which takes place
every April. A penny tax is collect
ed on that day by two well-known res
idents Of Hungerford, who are termed
"tuttymen" and who go from door to
door, each carrying a stave trimmed
with gay ribbons.
1t is not recorded whether this hon
orary post Of "tuttyman" Is put up to
open competition, but it certainly
ought to be, for there is one very
valuable perquisite attached to the Of

Secretary's Move Alarms Clerks in the
Treasury Department.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 2S.-
Secretary MacVeagh of the treasury de-
partment caused a great furry by an
nouncing that he had decided to econo-

age who have been around the establish
ment for decades blinked their eyes and
scampered about in great excitement
The secretary sent for his three assist
ants and told them to get busy on cut
ting down expenditures. He also called
in the division chiefs and told them to
pare down estimates wherever possible
1t is expected that the movement will
end in number of discharges, many de-

CASTRO REVOLUTION NIPPED?
Venezuela Authorities Arrest Supposed
Agent of Former President.

CARACAS. Venezuela, July 2S.-The
Imprisonment at Maracaibo of a Ger
man subject named Theodore Hauer,
who recently arrived there from Europe,
and Raymond Porpacen, his Caracas
lawyer, disclosed a dangerous Castro
revolutionary plot to overthrow Presi-
dent Gomez. Herr Hauer ostensibly rep
resented Gen. Castro in an attempt to
sell the former Presidents stock in vari-
GUS Venezuelan companies, but in real
ity, it is charged, he was organizing a
Castro revolution. Correspondence and
secret codes seized on his person sup
port this charge. Important arrests are
expected soon, and Castros adherents
in Congress are greatly alarmed.

SOURCE OF ALL SOLACE.


What have l in heaven, and besides
thee what do l desire on earth
Psalms lxxiii:25
This a cry from the tortured heart
of David-a cry from one in need to
a friend indeed. Poor, in very truth,
Is he who calls no man friend, but
poorer he who is no mans friend.
This would be a bleak world with.
out affection, and hence the master has
established, as a primal source of all
soIace, a fountain Of love springing ur
perennially in Himself. The fairest
and most fragrant flower of that love
is friendship. All genuine affection
is inseparable from friendship The
friends we have tried and not found
wanting are the friends we trust, and
where the trial Of friendship has been
longest our trust is greatest, and SC
old friends are best.
One there is who outdates and out
classes all other friends. He knows
us and He understands, and, above all
He is willing and powerful to help US
He alone possesses the fullest equip
ment of a friend. He knew us in the
eternities He shapes events so as to
make us fit into the marvellous scheme
Of His universe. He cared for us
since our coming into all the bewilder.
ment Of this creation. We have walk.
ed erect or bent, and often have we
stumbled and many times have we
fallen. Yet whether upright or pros
trate the touch of the strong hand OF
His friendship has been upon us, even
when In insensate moments we have
struggled to fling it off.
At all times, sick or Ill, waking or
sleeping, sad or joyous, His love holds
us like the clasp of mother. Others
have, never has He shut door
against US. He was no mere life-saver
by feeling or by thirst for fame OF
by hope of reward. He was all He
was to us not because He had pity on
US, but because He loved and wanted
u.s. He is walking by our side ever,
He meets us at the turn Of every
road. At every tick of the timepiece
we can address ourselves to Him.
Whether our feet are in the narrow
path and we need courage, or whether
we are fighting with swine for their
husks, 1t is always our blessed privt
lege to appeal to this Friend to keep
us uncontaminated or to bring us
back from our wandering under the
roof of the Father.
Such friendship teaches us our own
worth. If He values US so highly, II
He thinks so much of us, to what
heights of manhood and womanhood
may we not climb. How pitiful to be
surrounded by such an atmosphere OF
love and not to live of its vitality
What fools we are to starve amid
such plenty. II we realized all this
we would not leave this Friend until
we had failed with every one else
but our prayer to Him for help would
be as our breathing and we would dis
cover beyond doubt that old friends
are best, and that of all old friends
He, the ancient Of days, Is verify old
est and best.
