Repeated Sermons.
ON the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
The prejudice against the repetition of
sermons is not universal. A good book
repays re-reading and a good sermon
should be all the more valuable on second
hearing. DR.. John Watson clan Mac
laren') openly repreached his sermons
when minister of Seton Park, Liverpool,
and found that his congregation ap-
proved of the practice. They insisted,
however. that the repetition should be ex-
act, and were impatient of variations
In his Life of the eacher-novelist, Sir
William Robertson Nicholl tells how on
one occasion. after listening to a ''re-
peated" sermon, in which occurred a.
smile of pool. one of the congregation
said to DR.. Watson, Last time you de-
scribed it as a 'turgid pool and | was so
afraid you We're going to use some other
adjective. and that would have spoiled
the whole picture. | was so thankful
when you said turgid' again."

Active Selling Movement.

An unusually active selling movement
in the morning depressed the stock mar
ket after prices had been advanced gen
orally. The selling was largely in the
nature of a bear raid, which proved SO
effective that considerable long stock was
forced upon the market. Announcement

intention to cancel its lease of the Great
Northern ore lands was accepted as u
hullish factor at the opening, and was
largely responsible for buying of United

The market encountered active selling on
the rise.

ties. notably American Car and Foundry

of stocks. There was more general SELL

ly the last year, will greatly increase
the output of the valley during the
coming season.
Aside from fruit growing, numbering
is the next largest industry which brings
the total revenue Of the valley every
season close to 100000. Prominent
among the manufacturers are c. A.
Wright, Of the Peshastin Saw Mill and
Box Factory, and the Peshastin Lum-
Der Co.
Both concerns make specially Of
fruit boxes for the local and export
trade. These plants are strictly mod
ern in every respect.
New Business Houses
One OF the most needed facilities for
handling the fruit crop, is the large
frost proof warehouse erected here the
past summer by Messrs. Pfaff and Rel
man.
The greatest inconvenience exper-
fenced by the growers in the past has
been the lack of sufficient storage room
and the new accommodation has me-
with general favor. Formerly many o
the growers disposed of their fruit
through Cashmere firms, which neces
STATED the heavy expense of hauling
between this point and Cashmere.
The warehouse has filled long fell
want in the matter Of shipping facilitie:
and is of ample size. The institution
is in charge of an able and accomo
dating manager.
Another OF the conveniences which
is to aid in the development of thi'
fertile valley is the electric interurbar
line that will traverse the entire Wen
atchee valley.
The construction of this line by the
Wenatchee Valley Power & Railway
Company is rapidly being pushed tc
completion, and is expected to be il
operation before the close of anothe

THE PIONEER MERCHANT
from Modest Beginning Business Has
Kept Pace With Valley Development

Three years ago Del Mccoy decided
that Peshastin was locality which had
wonderful possibilities. At that time
he was employed as an engineer by
the Great Northern. An opportunity
to realize considerable on an investment
in this locality appealed so strongly to
him that he decided to abandon the
road and engage in business which he
is at present conducting.
The comparatively small patronage
accorded the institution at that time
has grown to such proportions that the
building formerly occupied was deem
ed too small to meet the requirements
of the increased business. The past
year has brought about many changes
in his establishment. The building
has been enlarged and remodeled.
The interior is now scene of which
they may we'll be proud.
Mr.. McCoy's large acquaintance
and unbounded faith in the future of
this vicinity and his genial manner
has won him many patrons whom he
rightly deserves.
He carries about $4,000 worth of
stock and is always making room for
more.
He is appropriately called the pion-
eer merchant.

Crop Failures UnkdOwn
Never in the history Of the valley
has there been crop failure. Irriga-

growing insures the best results and as
consequence the whole valley pro-
duces fruit of a quality and quantity
unsurpassed.
The apple crop Of the past season
amounted to about forty-three cars.
The net returns will yield the growers

At Peshastin are located two general

LOVES SUPREME TEST

From the New York World.
 Nobody will set out a womans gar tage can for her but her servant, her husband or her lover" This is not the pcrsiGago of a yaudevillist or the cpl gram of a philosopher or the mockery oi cynic. It is the grave declaration of a referee in a divorce case where it was proved that the defendant husband had not only carried home groceries for the e respondent, but had looked after the garbage pail.
 Shakespeare classed the lover along with the poet and the lunatic because they "are of imagination all compact" The referee in this case classes him with the husband and the servant because of a setzitude absolute
 The argument of the referee in support Of his conclusion was quite simple. "A mans affection for woman," said he, ''is shown by his willingness to take trouble on her behalf, to do little services for her, to do with a willing hand that which a man not in love would deem tire scme. troublesome and disgusting"
 Then 1t Is not the champagne dinner, nor the lobster supper nor the auto ride nor the diamond ring nor even the sonnet nor the offer of marriage that constitutes the supreme test of love. When a man takes out the garbage can, then may a woman be sure he is her's-for time al least. What test can be more searching mere revealing?

YEGGA1EN SOUP

From the New York Evening Post.
 Soup of the evening, beautiful soup, however appetizing it may have been, is not listed In the latest definitive or vario- rum edition of cookery recipes, nor do you find on the carte du jour-after you have made certain of Its equivalent on the bill of fare sde-and potage du sor. Here is a recipe for soup served only after night fall, preferably in the early morning hours. Try this on your neighbours piano:
 First, take about 10 or F impwri hz xug, crumble it up fine and put 1t in a pan or washbowl, then pour over it enough uswhohs (either chhx or lakyD to cover it we'll Stir 1t up with your hands, being careful to break all the Jumps; leave it set a few minutes; then get a few yards of cheescloth and tear 1t in pieces and strain the mixture through the cloth into another vessel, wiring the saWdust dry and throw it away. The re- mains will be the Lhai ugx uswhohs mixed; next take the same amount of water as you used of uswhohs and pour it in; have the whole set for a few minutes"
 This is the soup" employed by yegg- men, and a single portion of it is guar anteed to open the door of the stoutest safe. provided an aperture can be made sufficiently large to pour in the stuff. The names of the ingredients are written in crude sort of cipher commonly used for preserving such secrets. This and dozens more of the same transparency of meaning are in the possession of the United States secret service men, the po- lice, detective agencies and others who deal with the cooks of such dishes. By a | substitution of letter for letter-the first six for the last six of the alphabet, the
 second six for the third six, with G and N taken out of turn and made inter changeable-the cipher is easily read
 "Impwri hz xus" translated is sticks of
 dan" Cshort for dynamite) "Uswhohs, either chhx or laky''-alcohol, either wood
 or pure-may be used.
 The directions for serving this soup re-
 quire considerable attention and the best
 of trained service. After the "gay cat" or advance agent, of the band has learned
 all that can be found out about the bank,
 store or postoffice. it's lighting, protec-
 ton and the means of escape by freight
 train. vehicle or on foot, his companion
 or companions come on, avoiding notice
 so far as possible. "Stick-ups" or look
 outs, guard the place while the inside
 men" break into the safe. Sealing the l cracks about the safe or vault door with soap the yeggmen pour in the soup through a small hole left open at the
 top. The liquid flows down by locks,
 hinges and bolts, and is set off by fuse
 or detonator. Blankets and covers of any | kind are used to muffle the sound of | the explosion and the fall of the door, Perhaps the "stick-ups" are forced to cre- ate a diversion outside and to frighten the
 citizens, or mslead them, while the 'in- side men" pick out the valuable papers and escape. Who pays the check for the soup then depends upon the ingenuity of detectives.
