TEMPTATIONS.

The way some persons act, and the
way they speak, too they try to prove
Ia use at times it is impossible to
overcome temptations. That we must
follow one impulse, and cannot over
come empowering temptations. Each
life has its own besetting temptations,
its own share of trials, and is men
aeed somewhere by danger. Strength
is got through environment for
growth in grace and virtue 1t is the
common human experience for the
training Of character, for the making
of pure manhood and womanhood He
who is not tried and has nothing to
overcome cannot be a soldier Ana
there is not one who is exempt from
this battle whether man or woman.
TO refuse to see the moral significance
is 10 empty life of any meaning at all
But when he have a blimmering Of
the great and inspiring thought that
this is the will of God for us, even
our sanctificatiOn, and we manfulIy
try to overcome ourselves. we begin
10 see how it must be, that God is
faithful He will not suffer us TO be
tempted above or beyond our powers,
but viii with the temptation also
make a way of escape that we may
be able TO bear it. The trouble with
those who say they cannot overcome
temptation is-they do not want to
overcome it. In their hearts they
have a sneaking love for the fault,
and take pleasure in it, and therefore
they are never able to rise above it
and overcome themselves.

ORIGIN OF TRIAL BY JURY.

an established jury system more than
a thousand years ago. The Normans
on their arrival in England found pre-
vailing there the ordeal of hot irons.
which enforced the carrying of a
pound of heated metal by the accused
for a given distance, and the ordeal
of hot water. in which by way of
variation a stone had to be withdrawn,
from a pitcher of boiling water. No
at reform in this direction
was made by William the COnqueror.

Scholars have delved in vain for
the origin of dice, which in various
shapes, have been used in forms of
worship and religious ceremonies
since the dawn of history Their
earlier use was for the forecasting of
events and obtaining Of divine guild

chance was comparatively quite re-

There is a surprising number of va
rieties of dice, but they may be di-

most familiar form is the cube. With
two exceptions-the Korean and Etru-

GIRLS STARVING IN CAR
Buffalo Children, Locked Up
. Three Days, Found in Jersey.

Two girls from Buffalo-Mary Meni,
ten years old. and Nelsie Beforpa, eight
were found unconscious in a Lackawanna
freight car at Secaucus. n. J., yesterday
after a narrowing experience On Tues
CAV afternoon the children were play
ing in the Lackawanna freight yards at
Buffalo. when they were told by some boys
that if they would climb into one of the
cars they would find some fine bananas.
The children got into the car, and they
had no sooner done than the boys
locked the door and ran away. The chill
dren beat on the door and cried for help,
but no one heard them. The car soon
started for Secaucus.
When the children did not return to
their homes their relatives notified the
police in Buffalo, who learned that the
missing girls had been seen playing about
the freight yards and suspected that they
had been carried off in a car. Word was
sent TO the Lackawanna offices The yard
master at SecauCus was ordered to search
all the cars on their arrival from Buffalo.
The children were found lying in cor
ner of the car with their arms around
each other. They were unconscious, and
at first il was feared that life was ex-
tinct They were taken to the Young
Mems Christian Association headquarters
at Secaucus and DR.. Ring was summoned.
The physician had great difficulty in re-
viving the children, but finally brought
them around. They were then turned over
to the Lackawanna officials pending in
structions from Buffalo.
