lavoisier and Chemistry.

Lavoisier Q143-9D comes very
near being the father of chemis-
try" Although neither the science
of chemistry nor yet change in its
objects can be said to have ori g.
mated with Lavoisier, the means he
introduced of attaining those OBJ
jects, the ideas he put forth con-
corning the constitution of bodies
and the explanation he gave of vari-
Gus phenomena were strictly new
and gave to this science in the twen-
ty years preceding his death COM
pletely altered aspect. The mine of
chemistry had yielded rich returns
long before Lavoisier came. He
availed himself of the old work
ings and, extending them, opened
the main lode.-New York Ameri-

"Wasn't Henry goin' to help you

"Henry's gone over to Tom Pit

A Cotton Fire.

Monday afternoon the alarm of
fire rang out, a lot of cotton stored
on vacant lot next to Mrs L j
Brockinton's, on Railroad avenue,
having been ignited by a spark
from a passing locomotive, it is
supposed. In the lot were thirty
bales of cotton, the property of Mr.;
w E Brockinton, and all but one
bale was more or less damaged.
Water being scarce, the burning
bales of cotton were quickly hauled
to the canal and dumped into the
water.
1t is impossible to estimate Mr.
Brockinton's loss at present, but the
damage will probably exceed $500
with no insurance.

Spoken Like q Man.

With pleasure we publish the sub
joined letter, which is the natural
expression of an honest man. We
don't want The Record to 60 to a
single person who feels unable or
unwilling to pay for it. We know
the paper is we'll worth the price
and as long as it keeps up to the
standard enough people are going to
patronize it to keep it going. If any
subscriber is really too poor to pay
what he owes us and will tell us so,
we will cheerfully give him or her
receipt in full to date, but we can't
afford to continue the paper on
those terms
The best way, and the only honest
way,is to do as our friend in this in
stance has done; when for any rea-
son it does not suit you to take the
paper any longer, notify us and order
it discontinued-only pay what you
owe first.

THINGS ALL OUGHT TO KNOW
As Christian Bible Students-The Sat-
isfaetory Proof Of "Why God Per-
n1its Evil"

mits Evil"
One of the questions which comes to
nearly every thinking mind today Is,
why does God permit evil? AS we
look about us in the world we observe
that it is filled with sorrow and trouble.
sickness and pain and every trial we
could cnumerate, and we cannot help
wondering WHY GOD ALLOWS IT.
We realize that He is almighty and
that He could prevent it if He wished
We read in His Word that He is more
willing to do for His children than
are earthly parents for theirs, and we
know how much that means; yet Of
tentimes. it seems that those who tr-
to do and live right have the most
trouble. This question Is made very
clear in q book entitled, "The Divine
Plan Of the Ages" Every statement
is backed by Scripture, and shows that
while God does not SANCTION evil HE
HAS ALLOWED SIN AHD DEATH
TO REIGN FOR THESE LONG SIX
THOUSAND YEARS. This and many
other subjects Of deep interest to all
Of Gods people are discussed fully and
In language easy of comprehension.

In the early DAYS u

In the early days "a

Gus calling was that of the men
attempted to supply fuel to pass,-
steamboats,. These nomadic wood
choppers, who along lonely stretches
of river bank braved the perils of
Indians, were in river parlance call
ed "wood hawk" "a name perpet-
uated in the great Wood Hawk
bend, below Fort Rice.
In "The Conquest Of the Alissou-
RI" by MIR. j. NJ. Hanson, it is re-
lated how two extraordinary char
actcrs called ~ Bcidlcr and "Liv-
er Eatin'' Johnson, were once tax
en- on board the steamer Nile with
their cordwood anu entertained as
the boat continued the journey.
They were powerful men physi-
callv. ignorant in most matters
which civilization holds as knowl-
edge, but profoundly vcrscd in the
varied wisdom Of the wilderness,
which, however, they kept to them
selves with the taciturnity charac-
tcristic OF those whose ways lie in
nat.:r2s lonely places.
.A"o@4 t'.2 Mes passengers was
a party o. ,#stN.l tourists. The la
dies had hoa9 iu."rested n all the
noycI s.ea"s Of the frontier, but
when the rwo ragged wood hawks
appeared cH bo&rd they became par
ticularIy enthusiastic. Neither Bcid-
Ter nor johnson took very kindly to
being patroaizcd as if they were a
pair of Sioux, although they main
tanned their stoical composure.
"Mr. Bc;d!cr, are YOU married."
at length one OF the ladies inquired
of Y.
YES" gruntcd the wood hawk.

hardly thought that. Isis your
wife. aha white woman:'

Glow delightful! 4 native of

"I'vc sent her to roam"
"To Rome? TO be educated?
Just think Of such devotion" she
chirruped to her companions. "Nlr.
Beidler, do YOU mean to Rome,
Italv?'
no." responded X grimly. "To
roam on the prairie" ;"
At this point the conversation
abruptly terminated.

Good butternIakinG Is fine art
that many farmers have not learned.
There Is no reason that butter made
ON the farm should not bring better
prices in competition With creamery
butter. Country butter, when improp-

left with the grocer and take It's
chance with q crowded market. Good.

ways finds Il ready sale at good
price. Thousands Of dollars are lost
every year in poor butter.
