St Paul declares of Satan, 1--WE are
not ignorant OF his Devices" and he
tells us that Satan and his servants
transform themselves into servants of
righteousness, etc. We see this prin-
Ciple in operation as we read Church
history, Satan, all through this Age
has sought to rervert Christian hopes
and distort Christian doctrines by pre-
sentlng counterfeits of Bible truths
Thus, for instance, the Scriptures tell
us that eventually the Church, "a lit.

siah in his Kingdom Of glory to reign
thousand years. 1t was Satan's
method to coun erfeit this hope. to sug-
gest to men the establishment of an
earthly Kingdom with an earthly little
flock, an earthly glory, an earthiy
reign. This was set forth as the full
filment of the second Psalm.
And when later on some Of Satan's
dupes began to get free from some Of
his snares, he became their leader In
an opposite Direction, called them &c.

the civilized Kingdoms of the earth

to his seat however. and attacked the
quickest hedges. Both these he clear
ed most gallantly. arrived safe and
sound on the turnpike road and drove
home to Halston.
His achievements in the saddle were
numberless. On his horse Hero he
cleared a gate feet high, and it is to
be remembered that he was a tall.
heavy man. He jumped another horse,
Baronet, over yards Of water on his
way home from hunting and afterward
backed himself for 500 guineas to
clear yards over hurdles on the same
horse. He accomplished this often In
practice, but when it came to the ap-
pointed day Baronet refused, and he
lost his money, as he ultimately lost
every shilling that he could lay his
hands on.
Poor Mytton! His end was a miser-
able one. He died at the age Of 81, in
the Kings Bench Prison, wreck Of
mind and body. His many failings
were all too obvious, but he had such
glorious pluck that one can almost
echo the words of Sir Bellingham Gra-
ham as Mytton cleared a high park
paling with his arm in a sling.

Part of the Game.-Among a crowd
of people who were waiting for the
seemingly endless flow Of carriages
vans and motors to cease, so that they
could cross to the opposite side of the
street, was a woman garbed in dress
that resembled nothing so much as a
checker board. The squares, red and
black, Wed in size with any worn by
minstrels in the palmiest days OF
black faced vocalists. Naturally she
was the centre Of attraction.
She thought she saw chance to gain
the other side and started on her jour-
ney just as a jolly-looking chauffeur
started his automobile.
The woman hastily retreated to the
curb stone, but, with an appreciative
glance at her dress, the driver of the
motorcar brought it to standstill and
bawled out admiringly, much to the
amusement of the interested bystand-
ers: Go on. it's your move!"-Tit-

MUTILATED CURRENCY.
Often Used In Attempts to Cheat the
Treasury Department.

Treasury Department.
Many efforts are made to cheat Un-
Gle Sam through the redemption divi-
sion of the treasury department, which
division has to do with redeeming
partly destroyed government currency
Once a man in a western state sen:
in half of ten dollar bill, accompa-
MED by an affidavit to the effect that
while on a spree he had used the other
half to light a cigar. The half he for
warded was nicely charred along the
inner edge, and the story would have
been accepted by treasury officials had
it not been that within twenty four
hours there was received from a bank
in the same state the other half of the
note.
The theory of treasury officials was
that while more or less intoxicated the
man had struggled for possession OF
the bill with some one who had wrest-
ed half of it from him; that the de-
spoiler had turned the half into the
bank and received five dollars for It,
that the intoxicated man, recovering
his senses, had found the other half in
his pocket, and not wishing to lose his
money, had conceived the plan of
singeing the edge Of the note and
claiming that the other half had been
destroyed. So he committed perjury
in an attempt to rob the government
Of s5.
A man in Cleveland sent an affidavit
to the treasury department, accom-
panying the singed haf Of two twen-
ty-dollar bills and one ten-dollar bill.
This affidavit was typewriter and in
perfect form. 1t set forth that the
deponent was a commercial traveller;
that after returning from journey he
had been cleaning out his travelling
bag when inadvertently he had thrown
into the fire an envelope containing
$50 in bills; that in accordance with
section so and so he would like to have
the money restored to him, etc.
The clerk who brought this docu-
ment to the officials commented on its
iucidity and completeness, but to one
Of these the story seemed unnatural
and he ordered that the claim be held
up for a while.
Twenty -four hours later big ship
ment of mutilated currency came from
a subtreasury in the west. The official
who had ordered the claim held up
asked whether there were any half
notes in this shipment. In four or five
minutes a clerk brought him the miss
ing halves of the bills the Cleveland
man had sent in.
The attempt to defraud was plain.
The matter was at once put into the
hands of the secret service division,
and a man was sent west to investi-
gate. The man who had made the affi-
davit confessed at once. He had cut
the bills in halves and for one-half of
them obtained s25. The other half he
singed and attached to his affidavit.
The gross profit of the swindle could
not have been more than $25, and for
that trifing sum the man forfeited his
liberty for a year and half.-Wash-
ington Star.

A Shooter Who Could Shoot.

1t was in a shooting gallery on Penn
sylvania avenue, in Washington and
several expert shots were ringing the
bull's-eye and picking off the pigeons
There loafed in a gentleman wearing a
slouch hat and a cravat of hue COM
monty known as fiery red. The strang-
er stood around for several minutes
and seemed to regard the perform
ance as exceedingly poor.
You know" he said to anybody who
cared to listen, Il learned to shoot in
Arizona. Tim McGooch Of Tucson,
taught me- Every hear of Tim? Best
rifle shot on the earth, never missed,
and shot in the dark as well as he did
in daylight.
"I tell you what saw him do once.
It was a clear and MINDLESS day. He
cut himself piece of paper six inches
square and propped it up fiat on the
ground on top of four little sticks
sort Of like an awning, you know.
Then he squinted up to the sky, got
his bearings and let loose shot. Then
he counted ten slowly. When he said
ten the bullet dropped out of the
heavens into the center of that little
square of paper. He did that four
times, and every time he said ten,'
the bullet dropped through the hole
the first bullet had made in the paper.
Now, warn't that some shooting?"
Everybody agreed that it was.
And" said the stranger, Tim Nc
Gooch taught me how to shoot"
The crowd in the shooting gallery
asked him to demonstrate his skill
learned from McGooch.
He consented to give an exhibition.
I'll try the pigeons" he remarked,
in a lordly manner.
He shot fifteen times and did not hit
a pigeon.
Then he laid the rifle on the counter
and burst into tears.
IF Tim could only see me now!" he
sobbed. 'If he could. he would know
that strong drink is a curse and wine
is a mocker!"
Whereupon the pupil Of Tim Nc

earth, hurried out of the gallery on his
way to one Of the gilded saloons of the
