No wonder so many of us are Door
In spiritual things. To our doors ever.
more come the heavenly messengers
their hands laden with rich blessings,
which they wish to give to us. But
we are so intent on our earthly ambi-
tons that we do not see them nor
open our doors to them, and waiting
long In vain, they at last turn sadly
away, leaving us unblessed in our pow
erty. II we would but train our.
selves to take whatever gift God
sends to us, we should soon become
rich. Gods blessings are ever at our
doors. He is the giving God. The
trouble with us is that we do not al
ways recognize the blessings when
they are offered us. Some of the
richest of them come in fnrma As --as-.

Christians should be different from

their lives in all their ways. They
should be happier than other peo-

A Safety Envelope.

A new envelope made in Paris is
proof against the thief Or4theameddler
who opens a letter to extract or to
read its contents and them reseals it
so cleverly as to hide any sign of it
having been tempered with.
The new envelope is really two
envelopes. Each is of thin paper one
a pronounced blue, the other lighter
in color and different instexture. Each
has a gummed flap.,
The letter is first placed insthe blue
envelope, which lis slightly / smaller
than the other. Instead Of sealing
this it is placed in the outer tenvelope
and the inner flap brought outside
and gummed' down~on to the larger
envelope.
The outer flap is still unsealed. 1t
is much larger than the inner flap
and reaches down, to a good sized
star shaped opening which shows
through to- the inner envelope, 80
that when the outer flap is sealed it
sticks not only to- the outer envelope
but also through this opening to the
inner one. The DETER is thus Nprac-
tically locked ands double locked.

Practical Lessons.


Jacksonville farmers Of the state
of Mississippi who attend the state
fair at Jackson October rs to Novem-
Der S, this year, will learn how to live
well, the boil weevil to the contrary

them from daily practical and success
full experiments on their own farms,
and with their own land and stock.
There will be something worth
while for the farmer from every Sec

from large plantations and small
farms; for rich and for poor alike;

The Book Of the Psalms begins ap-
propriately enough with a description
of the wicked, set before us by meth
cd of exclusions. We read the first
verse and are struck by its wisdom
and its rhythm. But not until we in
vestigate it little more critically do
we see it's interesting force and OBJ
serve at the same time the literary
skill with which the conditions against
which all that follows in the Psalter
declaims are presented.
The man who is not blessed Is de-
picted first of all as an ungodly man.
There are many men who are, or who
profess to be, ungodly; that is, men
who have left the Divine out Of their
reckoning, who persistently deny God
and shape their lives upon some ethic
system, which they fail to recognize
as distinctly traceable to and, in SO
far as it is good, derived from Chris
tianity. Some men in this category
are upright, honorable had almost
said God-fearing Most men
who thus deny God, who put Him out
side of their calculations, are not.
The next step downward is easily
taken. The man who is not blessed
is next described by the Psalmist as
a sinner. The transition is natural
and easy. To deny God is usually to
disobey His laws, and that is to CON-
NIT sin.
The third characteristic of the man
who is not blessed is that he is scorn.

PASADENA BREvITlEs

PASADENA, Sept. Earl Sweetser,
Joe Duarte and Ralph Schermerhorn,
three young men who indulged in
triangular pugilistic encounter in front
of the Masonic Temple night before
last in order to settle some trifling
dispute, and who were afterward ar
rested by Lieutenant Coping, were
golden ruled by the chief of police
yesterday.
The mayor and city council decided
the matter of cutting down the euca-
lyptus trees in the parking along
South Chester avenue yesterday by
leaving the matter in the hands of
the majority of the property owners,
nearly all Of the people along that
street having petitioned to allow the
trees to stand.
The Pacific Electric company issued
a wide-open order yesterday to the
effect that all of the streets traversed
by their lines would be repaved and
repaired wherever such an improve
ment was needed and that the work
would be done at once. North and
South Fair oaks will get the full bene-
fit of this arrangement East Colorado
will be improved greatly there and
South Lake avenue will be much inn
proved.
Just as she was about to leave for
an eastern trip Mrs. Kenyon Warren
of North Orange Grove avenue fell
down while entering her home by way
of the back steps last night and sus-
tained a fracture of the right arm. The
hone was broken above the elbow and
the injury is of a very painful nature.
Her eastern trip is postponed tempor-
arily.

LONG BEACH, Aug. 31.-"I sympa-
thize with, rather th;n blame the man
who ran into me. We men who drive
automobiles know how an apparently
unavoidable accident is liable to occur
once in awhile" said William McCann,
chauffeur for Fred Bixby, last night
while a doctor was ascertaining the
extent of the injuries Mccain had
sustained when a buggy in which he
was riding was wrecked by Frank %.
Shaw's automobile. McCann's right
hip was dislocated and his neck was
injured. He expressed a feeling OF
satisfaction that ShaWs car had not
been travelling faster than it was, real
izing that his injuries might then nave
been more serious.
When the collision occurred, near the
corner of Anaheim street and st. Louis
avenue, the horse started to run away
with the wrecked buggy and McCann
was dragged some distance. The horse
finally separated itself from the buggy
and ran out Anaheim street until 1t
was turned into an enclosed lot. There
it ran around until exhausted. The
top of the buggy and the bed were
found a block apart, while a hub with
no spokes attached was found half
way between.
The accident occurred when both We
hicles were moving In the same direc-
tion, along the right side of the road.
One of Shaw's auto lamps had re-
fused to work a short time before
and the auto driver was unable to see
the buggy. With Shaw in the auto
mobile were DR.. Weldon, former Mayor
Walton and w. C. Miller, all of San
Pedro The ride was taken in con-
nection with a dinner party at Hotel
Virginia by Councilman F. H. Grid
ley. The latters automobile was a
short distance behind Shaw's when the
accident happened, With Councilman
Gridley were Luke Kelly, Mr.. Green
a banker of San Pedro, and William
Ramsaur of this city A. NJ. Goodhue
and ]. G. Drake were also guests at
the dinner, but did not take the auto
ride.

WOMAN FAILS TO APPEAR
AGAINST ACCUSED PERSON

PASADENA, Sept. 1.-After causing

a rooming house keeper on South Ray
mond avenue, failed to appear yester-
day in Judge McDonald's court to
prosecute the case, and the action was
dismissed. 1t is said the reason the
woman did not appear was because she
disliked to go into a police court to ap-
pear as a witness.
It is claimed that on July II walton
went to Mrs. Coleman's, saying he
desired to rent a room. He is said to
have gone into the house to look at
the room, and then it is alleged he
called the woman endearing terms and
attempted to become familiar with her.
