not stop until their father gave his con-

One day they were getting ready to
60 out in the pasture TO see the sheep.
Nellie was putting on Jacks over
shoes. 1t was very cold. so they
wrapped up well. When they got to
the meadow. they stood at the fence
and watched the sheep eat grass.
Their mother had told them not 10 go
into the pasture, because the sheep
might hurt them. But Jack said he
knew tia, they would not hurt him, SO
hey went inlo the pasture. Alter a

The Liaht of tho Stars,

Various endeavors have been made
to estimate the light OF the stars. In
the northern hemisphere Argelander
has registered $4,000 stars down to
the nine and Il half magnitude, and
with the aid of the best photometric
data Agnes NJ. Clerks System of the
Stars" gives the sum of the light of
these northern stars uS equivalent to

light OF ali stars similarly enumerated

bodies Is difficult 10 compute. By a

REV. J. P. CURRIM
Gives an Interesting Dis
course. b.
Rev. G.. NJ. Rourke Speaks on Sub
ject OF Sin--Camp Meeting at
Meeker.


Rev. j. =. Currin of the First Bap-
tist church gave an inspiring and up
lifting discourse last evening from the
text, what is that in thy hand?" He
spoke of the great Influence ideas
have had in making the worlds his
tory. That 1t has not been unm-
bers or quantity that have succeed
ed but a few ideas gripped by few
men. Ideas said the speaker, have
made all the modern inventions and
improvements. They have brought
forth the railroad the steamship, the
telegraph and telephone. One idea
possessed by one man has conquer
ed in the face of opposing thousands.
as Xerzes reckoned with one idea and
won against numbers.
BY reading and studying the lives
of great men, we have succeeded in
getting I'm touch with some ideas, and
once possessing an idea, we should
grip 1t firmly, plunge through the op.
position and master our jobs. Such
deas inspired the creation, the incarn-
alton. the reformation and all the
things that ape and have been worth
while. st. Augustine conceived an
idea and plunged forth nto the night;
Moses with the idea of Emancipation
led the children out of Egypt ;Gideon
drove the Mideonites out of the land
David with q sling slew a giant, an
idea and intelligence against an lgnor
ant mass; and Lincoln got, held and
gripped an idea, and freed the slaves
with millions opposing.
Rev. Currin entreated the young
people of the present day to keep
their eyes open, always looking for
the idea, and when once seen to
grip II firmly and succeed in carrying
II out, however humble 1t may be.
He spoke of the advantages that are
given to the people of today, that
they should realize that they are liv-
ing at a time when ideas are held
out to every one and that moral
courage and bravery are the only
essentials required for success.

two other changes will be made in

that the civil service commission
might take the janitors out of the
hands of the board of education and
place them on the civil service list,
but the commission did not care to

A Dutch Fishina Fleet.

IL the traveller wants to get real
glimpse of picturesque Holland. a
glimpse which shall long be a happy
memory, let him journey to the old
fishing village of Schevenlngen. not
far from The Hague. Its fishing fleet
is an imposing one and Is best seen at
night, when the boats are drawn up on
the beach. Each has number, and
these are painted on the sides In such
large figures that they can be read
at considerable distance. At night
when the fishermen begin to come to
land the women of the village walk
down to the beach with their knitting
In their hands to meet them. They
wear their wooden shoes. some Of
which are made to look especially
clean by an application Of whiting. and
they make a merry clatter as they go.
Industry is characteristic of the wom-
en- of Holland In all walks of life.
They must always be at work of some
kind. and 1t would seem as IL more
knitting needles must be used In Hol-
