The Disobedient Horse.

There was once a miller white with
dust working away very hard when
suddenly the horse stopped.
The miller tried to persuade the
horse to SO on, for he was very busy
grinding the wheat. The horse was
turning a wheel in which was the
wheat to be made into flour. But the
horse would not go. So at last the
miller went out in the room where the
horse was, and to his surprise he saw
under the horses feet his little child
busily playing with her doll. The mil
Ter was filled with establishment at
what he saw, and he thought that his
horse had a very good reason for not
complying with his wishes.

Dear Uncle Jed: My grandpa does
not have farm: but just keeps a
COW. Last summer when we were up
to grandpas he took US out to the
barn, when he went to milk the COW,
and showed Us how to make the milk
SQUIRT into .ur tin cups.
But l guess he is sorry he showed
US. because when we wanted a drink
after that we went and helped our
selves. until Grandpa wondered why
the COW gave so little milk. Then he
watched us and caught us getting milk
for ourselves.
We thought he was going to be aw-
fully cross: but he only laughed and
told US to ask grandma when we
wanted a drink of milk.

THE PROPOSED METHODIST I'M
PROVEMENT.

The Methodist Episcopal church is
moving for districted episcopacy
ith a view OF establishing a closer
relation between the bishops and the
differences over which they preside.
The present system covers too large
a territory and takes the bishop away
from bis resident city too much Of
ne time This new system proposes
to make the city u which the bishop
resides central to the conferences over
which he prasides and keep him IN
closer advisory relation than ne can
pe under tho present system.
Speaking ~ this proposed plan, the
Portland Express says:
That the Methodist Episcopal
church IS fortunate i'm the type Of men
that Sc chooses for its bishops need
NOT be commented upon. They are
men of large experience and broad
vision for the church. 1t is felt that
tle adoption of q plan such as ifs pro-
posed IN the distrieted episcopacy plan
VIII result Iu tho churches Of a con-
ference benCiting not only more d.
rea-Ir but continuously during the
period OF service. AS bishop would
preside over conference for four
ears DE would come to know its
needs and those OF its ministers lie
would also be more directly in touch
with INSTRUMENTATION interests of
hs field and be able to lend his i'm
Iuence with q continued council and
7id that would be appreciated by other
church leaders. That the permanent
residence Of o. bishop would give him
au opportunity 90 assert himself in
movements of . moral and philan-
tlropic character to a. degree and in
O. way that is not his today is another
factor which seems TO commend the
proposed plan

Why Mr.. Bear Has Short Tail
One day Mr.. Bear met a fox. The
fox had been fishing and had caught
some fish, The bear said:
Il have not had such fish for long
time. Where do you get them?'
The fox said Il would not tell any
one, but since you are such good
friend I will tell you. Make hole in
the ice, put your tail in it and the fish
will get hold of your tail, and then you
pull it out"
SO the bear went and made a hole,
and put in his tail and sat down. 1t
was growing dark and he tried to pull
his tail out. He did not get any fish,
but worse than that his tail was
frozen to the ice, and he pulled and
pulled and his tail broke off As he
went down the road he said:
] wish I could find that fox"
But the fox was curled up snug in
his house. Every time he thought Of
the bear he laughed.

o.-WilI you please explain the
seeming contradiction between Genesis
NLiN. 10. and Ezekiel xxi. 25.2Z2 &c 81

seeming contradiction between GeneSIS
xiv, 10, and Ezekiel xxi, 1927? &c. ST.
Answer.-The "seeptre" is the SYM
boy Of the right O rule 1t is the en-
blem Of authority. The crown" is
the symbol Of reigning authority. 1t
signifies that the one wearing the
crown is ruling, or reigning; not mere
ly that he has the right to rule, but
that he is exercising that right and is
reigning. The fact that several cen
turtles elapsed after the sceptre had
been given TO Judah before any mem
Der OF his family wacs crowned, proves
that this distinction should be made.
The Kingdom OF Isarael was a. typical
kingdom and represented in its many
aspects the Kingdom Of Heaven that
IS TO be established in the earth at the
second coming of Christ. Therefore
the crown" referred to in Ezekiel
was a typical crown, and in no way
effected the right, or sceptre vested in
Judah. This "sceptre,' or right to
rule, passed to Shiloh. the Lion OF
The Tribe of JUDAH The Lord Jesus
whom lie, in obedience to the Divine
viii. laid down His life to redeem the
world. He purchases the race and the
earthly dominion, the Kingdom, by
the ransom price which He gave
(Ephesians j. 14.) The "sceptre,
therefore, is His; and He will assume
the crown at His second coming
and will reign for a thousand years.

Commercial Club Meeting.

About 100 of the business and pro.
fessional men of Cresco gathered at
the Armory, Tuesday evening, to lis.
ten to an address by W. j. Pilkinton,
of DesMoines, Iowa. The pith of his
address was that city was no bigger,
no better and no more enterprising
than the men who live in it, and urged
the acquiring of a better knowledge of
men and correct business principles
and methods.
Hermann Kull made a short but
pithy address which contained several
good suggestions for the betterment of
Cresco. Superintendent Nearpass
urged a general swatting of the Cresco
fly, and o. J. McHugh gave very
good "get together" talk.
Refreshments were served and
several men were called upon for i'm
promptu talks. Meetings will be held
quarterly hereafter and should be more
generally attended as they are certainly
productive of ,,uch good to the COM
munity and IT'S commercial and manu-
featuring interests.

stand. The first cultivation has begun,
and fields are generally clean and in
good condition. Small grain and grass
have continued to make rapid progress
except in few localities, especially in
the southwestern counties where the
rainfall was deficient prior to the last

of great benefit in all sections. Winter
wheat and rye are heading in northern
