Presently the wind rose and the boat danced like
a cork over the heavy biloWs The sea grew rougher
and rougher. Pierre Pomerio could see mountains of
foam in the distance which, creeping near, burst with
a sound like cannon, covering the deck with spray,
while the wind shrieked through the rigging. The
coast is dangerous about Bnic and the boat having
broken some machinery during the gale, was obliged
to seek refuge at st. Malo where it arrived in ter
rble tempest.
There they must remain for twenty-four hours to
have the damage repaired; but Pomerio was glad OF
the chance to visit the old town.
He was wandering about at hazard that evening
awaiting the hour to return to the little inn where he
had taken night lodging. The storm had cleared,

after its rage. To and fro Pierre wandered, admir-

tapers, burning under glass lie took of his hat, sa-

where he noticed lights faring about an immense
BOOTH from which came singular sort of music that
attracted him. People were pushing and croWdlng
before this construction of planks and canvas On
the front Pomerio read in illuminated letters Ager-

Pierre Pomerio had not the least idea of what an

WoMEN'S TRIBUTE TO

Columbus Dispatch.
In keeping with the coment the 9TH

information that the monument recent

gun. Possessed in high degree of
those qualities that are essentially
masculine, Daniel Boone, it seems
should have especially appealed to the
men. But the appeal that was heard
and needed was that which his charac

so there stands in Frankfort modest,
but sufficient, monument to the man
who, leading the exodus from Pennsyl-

helped so signally to lay the founda-

A CURE FOR ALkALl.

Almost all soil contains more or less
alkali. Whenever the soil strata is
such that there is no natural under
drainage, the water is supplied to the

basin, the surface of the underground
water gradually rises. and when it
gets near the surface, excessive eyapo.
ration occurs and as the moisture
passes away as pure water the salts
contained In the water are left at the
surface of the ground. In due time
the soil in Colorado takes on white
appearance and vegetation suffers.
Naturally, the cure for this condition
is to lower the water table. and If
there is no natural drainage, this
must be done by artificial drainage
Anything that will provide channel
through which the underground wa
ter may get away will answer the pur-
pose. Brush, boulders, flag stones,
tile and lumber have been successfully
used
In many cases tile have proved to
be unsatisfactory. Both cement tile
and some burned clay tile have shown
the effect of alkali. and there are in.

THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL BOTH
AN INSPIRATION AND A WARM
ING TO AMERICA.

Text-Hebrews 3-15: To-day II We
will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts, as in the provocation."
Introduction.
Two facts are necessary in order
to properly understand this text: First,
that the Hebrews, to whom this epis-
tie was written, were the descendants
of the children of Israel whom God
had chosen to be his peculiar people
whom He had led out of bondage in
Egypt: had protected during their wan.
behring's in the wilderness; and had
most wonderfully prospered In the
land of Palestine, which He had for.
merly promised to them as an inner.
itance through Abraham, the father
of the faithful"
Second, the "provocation" refers to
that period in Israel's history when
being warned again and again by the
prophets of God. they kept needless.
ly on in the course OF sin and UNI
righteousness, against which the
prophets had spoken, Until they were
carried into captivity. their capitol
seized and rayished, and their unity
as a nation. destroyed
This epistle brings to the dispersed
Hebrews, a new message of hope. 1t
Is call to return to their original
adherence to God and He will return

BE GOOD TO YOUR DOG.

FROM tDe chicago journal.
When strong men reel and faint,
despite light clothing, cooling fans and
every device to maintain low body
temperature, imagine the feeling of
your dog, unable to free himself from
his overcoat of fur and deprived OF
the cooling devices which you enjoy
You are cross and irritable because
of the heat. Don't blame your dog
If he also displays a disposition to sur
illness and swapping. He is merely ex-
pressing. in the only way he knows, his
discomfort and disapproval. Like his
master, he will recover from his /
humor when the wind once more blows
cool
A dog is not mad" and he is not
dangerous just because his temper
is bit short this hot weather and he
resents teasing and rebuffs all invi-
tations TO exertion.
Give your dog plenty of clean water
TO drink and, if you can clip his coat
short he vii thank you for it. There
is great deal of foolish fear oil dc
in hot weather. AS matter of fact
they are not more likely to go mad
than cats. little common sense and
ordinary consideration will obviate

as their thought We are not in dan.
ger of any foreign oppressor. but IL is
well for us to realize that the sins of
our own people may bring us to the
same place where the sins of Israel
brought that nation.
The Recent Judgments.
A recent writer in one OF our lead,
ing periodicals has declared that Amer
lea has been sick nation, but Is on
| its road to recovery. 1t may be true
that the proper diagnosis has been
made; that remedies of severe char.
acter have been applied. that the sur.
gical knife has cut deep and well and
that our country is, as the recent
writer has SO joyously declared, ION
the road to recovery" But II so. she
needs most careful watching; nurses
who are trained experts. and who will
permit no sentiment to interfere with
the rigid demands of medical science
must guard the convalescent; we must
be assured that. though better, she Is
by no means out of danger.
Tho New Patriotism.
In other words, there is demand for
new patriotism in our country; not
that of high sounding words and gilt
| tering generalities, but of honest pur.
pose, to make our nation what we be
lieve the great God predestined she
should be-the leader of all nations in
the onward march of civilization to-
ward righteousness, and toward that
dream of the seers. the brotherhood OF
man, and the federation of the world
Such patriotism demands the same
courage as was demanded from the
heroes of our battlefields. We may
| never again have to fight with the
muskets, the bayonets, and the sword
| but let us not fail to see that great
battles of principle must be fought;
that the enemy of Gods plan is not
dead and that the coming generation
| of America must grid itself for the
coming battles.

THE ENGINEERS ONE FEAR.

IRON harpers weekly.
The great driving wheels on which
most of the enormous weight of the
locomotive rests are connected by mas.
sive jointed bars of forged steel The
ends of these are attached to the
wheels about half way between the
axis and circumference. 1t is through
these bars-called driving rods-that
the wheels receive their impulse from
the imprisoned steam. These rods
weigh several thousands of pounds
each. Occasionally one of their fast.
enings will break, and then every rev.
olution of the wheel to which the other
end is attached will send the rod
swinging like Titan's fail, beating
down 300 strokes a minute. They tear
up the track below and shatter the
engine above, especially the cab where
rides the engineer. No disaster comes
