A SALOON MANS PRAYER.

At Beatrice, Nebraska, the
Women Crusaders visited a re-
tail liquor house and tried by
praying to induce the proprietor
of the saloon to close his place.
The proprietor invited the ladies
to seats and asked them to
pray, and then himself offered the
following prayer:
Almighty Creator in Heaven :
Thou who has made the heaven
and earth, and created man in
Thine own image as ruler on
grass and water, Thou didst teach
Thy servant Noah to make wine
and not punish him for making in
temperate use of it. At the we'd
ding of Cana, Thine only son,
Jesus Christ, transformed water
into wine, when the juice of
the grape was exhausted, that the
enjoyment of the guests might
not be disturbed. The great re-
former, Marten Luther, said:
He who does not love wine,
women and song, remains fool
all his life long And all the
great men upon this earth have
been drinking of the wine Thou
hast given Thy children upon this
earth. o Lord we pray thee,
have pity upon these women
here, who are not grateful for
Thy gifts; who want Thy children
dren to be like beasts of the field
and compel them to drink water
like an OK, whilst they dress ex-
travagantly and lead their hus-
bands to other extravagances not
tending to our well being; to
bankruptcy, depriving them of all
the pleasures of the world, yet
driving them to suicide. o Lord,
look upon them-they wear not
even the color of the face Thou
hast given them, but they are
shining against Thee, and not con-
tent with nature, paint their faces.
o Lord, Thou canst also perceive
that their figure is not as Thou
mast made it, they wear humps
on their backs like camels; Thou
seest, o Lord, that their head
dress consists of false hair, and
when they open their mouths Thou
seest their false teeth. o Lord,
these women want men who will
patiently accept this without us
ing the power Thou hast given to
men, that all women shall be sub
ject to man. o Lord, have mercy
upon them, and take them unto
Thy bosom, take folly out of their
hearts, give them common sense,
that they may see their own fool

A Drop of Water.

Figures are sometimes impressive
simply by being so stupendous that
the human mind grasps them with
difficulty. An instance in point is af-
forded by the illustration once offered
to his hearers by an eminent scientist,
who, in order to bring to their com
prehension the idea of ultimate parti-
cles of water, stated that if he was to
empty a tumbler containing half a
pint of water, letting out each second
number equal to 1000 times the
population of the earth, 1t would re-
quire somewhere between 100000
and 47000,000 years to empty the tum-
bier. Lord Kelvin has assured us that
if drop of water was magnified to
the size of the earth the particles
would be between the size of cricket
balls and footballs. If that statement
is correct the drops of water in all the
oceans are not many times so numer.
GUS as the particles. or molecules, in a
single drop.--St. Louis Republic

The officers of the Correspondence
Institute of America, Scranton, were

Court of this district at Harrisburg
Monday, May s, on a charge of US
ing the United States mails with in

Institute, Lewis Conrad, president;
Conrad Lott, secretary, and w. M.
Bingham, business manager, were
arrested on December Is, 1910, and
given hearing before United
States commission on February Is
in Scranton. Over seventy witnesses
will be present from all parts of the
United States from Maine to Okla

The three officers were given a

TRY 1T AGAIN.

When the world looks blue, and
you've lost your grip,
Just take fresh hold and avoid the
old slip;
The darkest cloud has its lining of
gold,
So take on new courage, make bat
tie, be bold!
When others sink drowning it's the
fighter who swims
lie pushes aside all the troublesome
whiIhs,
And torges ahead with success his
sure aim,
While his friends, ever ready his
courage acclaim.
So this lesson we'll heed, ere you die
in despair,
That who falters will fail: it's the
brave wins the fair,
And at last when you've won, re-
member the day,
And admonish your friends it's the
happiest way.
Then try it again-life's too short to
say quit;
It's a lesson to others to exhibit
pure grit.
And the progress you make shows
Others the road,
While 1t cheers the faint-hearted and
lifts their sad load.

beginning of their correspondence
course. The institute Is familiar as
advertising in the general magazines
with the use of comic cartoon and
requesting anyone to reproduce the
picture as test of ability as an
artist The advertisement says
Copy Me and Win a Prize" When
the copy is sent in the applicant is
offered a prize in the way of a spec

After pursuing the course for a short
time the student becomes dissatisfied
IN many cases and on endeavoring

AS indicative of the quality of the
school are the facts brought out in
the hearing at Scranton. 1t was
shown that while the school has
1000 students enrolled it has not
graduated over seventy-five of it's
pupils and none of these have. ac-
qulred the proficiency in drawing
promised by the Institute.
Among the witnesses who will
testify against the officers of the cor
respondence school are many poor
people who have endeavored to bet
ter their condition after reading the
fowery circulars of the Institute.
The Institute was before the
grand jury once before several years
ago when the International Core
spondence School of Scranton was
the prosecutor The case was drop
ped.
The Investigations which led to
the arrest were carried on for a long
time by Inspector A. c. Earshaur
and w. M Caovert, both of Phila-
delphia.
Mr.. Caovert said Saturday after
noon that the case would be one of
the longest and hardest fought
criminal cases ever before the local
Federal district court. The case
will be before the Federal court for
about two weeks.

FOUR-LEAF CLOVERS.

! know a place where the sun is like
gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with
snow,
And down underneath is the lowell
est nook,
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for hope, and one is for
faith,
And one is for love, you know.
But God put another in for luck
If you search, you will find where
they grow.
But you must have hope, and you
must have faith,
You must love and be strong, and
If you work, if you wait, you will
find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
