A Gun That Kills in Silence.

If it is not already so, soon General
Sherman's definition of war will be-
come true. Read the following de-
scription of the latest army gun in
vented by Maxim.
Hiram Percy Maxim, the veteran
inventor, has demonstrated beyond the
slightest doubt, that the noiseless gun
he has invented is perfect success
in every particular. During a recent
test made before several army officers,
the inventor utilized little cricket
which he found in bush nearby. The
officers could hear the chirp of the
cricket fifty yards distant, and could
hear it distinctly while the Maxim
gun was being fired. 1t can be dis
charged within one hundred and fifty
feet of person without any noise save
the sound of some one swapping his
fingers being audible. 1t is also said
that during the firing no fire or smoke
are visible about the weapon.
"After a conference the officers
agreed that the gun was seventy -four
per cent. noiseless. They consider,
however, that scarcely a leaf was stir
ring, and that during the firing none
of those present were moving about.
Had there been a breeze rustline
through the leaves or conversation a.
mong the officers the click of the ham
mer or the recoil of the trigger coul(
not have been heard"

OUR BETTER HONE.

Its walls are built from purest stone
It's music tbs of sweetest tone.
We reap the harvest here we've sown'
For there we'll rest.
We'll see our blessed Savior there,
And there with us His joys He'll share
He'll wipe away all tears of care,
Our Savior blest.
IT'S there the stream of Life doth now
And on its bank Life's tree doth grow
Whose leaves can heal our every sore,
Wond rous and free.
No need Of moon or stars to light,
Nor sun to shine with rays so bright,
For Christ, the Lamb, dispels all night
Eternally.
We all shall see Him face to face
Who worship Him within that place
When ended is our earthly race,
His name we'll wear;
All that's accursed will cease TO Do
And only holy things Wen see
When comes our time to enter thee,
Thou mansion fair,
It's only those whose names appear
Within the book of Life can bear
To stand before the Judge and wear
Those robes of white.
Saints on the earth who've worshlpped
Him s
May wear those robes unstained by sin
And have the right to enter in
That land of light.

Mr.. Patten. the "bull'' leader in
Chicago in raising the price of wheat,
is quoted as saying that cit will take
three or four years for the wheat acre
age, encouraged by high prices, to in
crease sufficiently to force the market
to a lower level. When he made this
remark May wheat was selling at
81. 2715 per bushnell The moral is to
plant all the wheat possible for the
next two years and lower the price.
