TESTIMONY OF A TRAVELLER.

One OF the greatest explorers of the
day Is MI. A. Henry Savage Lander, a
grandson Of Walter Savage Lander.
He has travelled in the Antarctic, in
Thibet, the Himalayas, Korea, Mongo-
liza, through the Dark Continent. and
has crossed South America at its Wild
est part. accomplishing one OF the
most difficult expeditions ever made.

parts OF Brazil that were regarded as
impossible. This latter feat through
a semi.troplcal zone occupied one year
and a half. and was constantly attend
ed by hardehips and sufferlngs, in the
course of which for sixty days, while
shooting the rapids OF the Arinos. the
party endured terrible privatlons, and
afterwards when food failed, starved
for sixteen days.
When asked how he has preserved
immunity from sickness, exposed to
such varied climatic conditions, he re-
plies, "The wonderful health | enjoy
is largely due to my temperate habits.
In all these journeyings neither he nor
his attendants took with them any
alcoholic spirits.
Mr.. Landor's testimony on this point
is unequivocal. 1T is not travelling"

Again his amazement equaled that
the sight of her in his living room had
occasioned. He permitted 1t to betray
itself by exclaiming:
"Since I wouldn't come to see you!
Surely, Miss Kerr, you didn't expect
that? There was nothing whatever
equivocal about my dismissal"
This was something she had not
planned, a reference to the past. She
wished merely to warn him and then
take leave of him forever.
81 didn't come with a desire to refer
TO that" she answered. You must
realize that what ! have to say seems
TO me of the utmost importance, else
I-oh. you can't know the effort 1t has
cost me to come here"
I'm sorry II your dislike is so in

She shook her head. with a smile

Quick as q fash he saw that she
had learned the truth, or at least some
part OF 1t. With his characteristic
generosity he wished to relieve her of
tho necessity of making explanations.
Il appreciate your coming, Miss
Kerr, from the bottom of my heart I
do, but if-if anything you think you

UNABLE TO SEE THE JOKE
Statesman. Forced to Admit He Could
Not Read His Own Writing,
Was Annoyed.

Representative William c. Adam
son, chairman of the house committee
on interstate and foreign commerce,
can perhaps claim the record in the
house for illegible chirography. He
will admit that it is sometimes impos-
sible for him to read his own hand
writing after it has grown cold.
One day a client entered his law
office at Carrollton, Ga, and handed
him a letter,
"Mr. Adamson," he said, Il received
that letter in the mail yesterday and
am unable to read 1t. | wish you
would translate 1t for me-"
Mr.. Adamson took the letter, which
was scrawled on a plain sheet Of pa
per, and regarded 1t for a long time.
Then he handed 1t back with the re-
mark:
THAT is not writing. Some lunatic
has been trying to play a joke on
you"
S%traightway the visitor handed Mr..
Adamson the printed envelope In
which the letter had been mailed.
This letter evidently came from
your office, Mr.. Adamson; your name
is printed on the envelope" he said,
mildly.
But Mr.. Adamson's remarks were
not mild; in fact. they have been OK

The man looked at her In a dazed
manner. Now that the time OF part

possession than he. He CROPPED about
in his mind for something to say, but
words were inadequate. There Is no
telling how his feelings might have
betrayed him had there not come a
knock at the door to interrupt their
parting.
At the sound Gloria exclaimed with

the Sunday in Brighton and adjoining
towns. The subject was Evils Of Al.

to see so many physicions in pulpits
and on the platforms evidently will

clerk, "and the man looks differently to

inevitable, DR.. Jordan points out, for

imagination leads to action which has
likewise nothing to do with the de-
mand Of life. The mind is confused.

Most Wonderful Prayer.

II. Teaching by formula wv. Pa. The
human mind is weak and needs that
assistance which is to be found in a
clear statement OF truth. Not always
can we have the benefit of n strong
personality. Hence Jesus gives us a
formula, or prayer, often called the
Lords Prayer" but more correctly
termed the disciples prayer" This
Is In some respects the worlds most
wonderful prayer, certainly the most
familiar. Lacking in personal pro
nouns, Il begins with that matchless
conception Of God, "our Father" it de-
scends step by step from a considera-
ton Of his hallowed name, his king
dom. and his will luke 22:i2) In
heaven and upon earth, down to the
question of our need of daily food. II

earth. II rebounds TO those realms OF
glory from which the Son came, and to
which he returned. A study Of the
prayers of the saints, living and dead,
ought to be more emphasized. This
kingdom here mentioned Is yet to be
fully established. A kingdom de-
mands a king (Rev. 22:20); its begin
ming, though. is in the hearts of men;
1t implies entire submission TO Gods
will duke 22:42); 1t delights in doing
that will John G:3S, Eph. 6:6); ii de-
mands an entire sanctiilcation of our
lives, and a desire that his will shall
