As turned to my horse heard the
swift patter of boots and saw a man
and woman galloping furiously toward
me. They were rapidly nearing the
ridge. and their horses were springing
over the firm white road in prodigious
leaps Virgins had got my message.
Hezekiah had met him In the road

She indicated high point in the

from which she had shown me-it
seemed, oh, very long ago!-the pro.
cession of suitors crossing the stile.
Dick, mounted. was gazing of across
the fields toward Hopefield. Man and

illusion of an equestrian statue on a

means Of escape in case of ref. No
fire escapes Of any sort have been
erected, since the building was COM

in case of a serious fire filling both

the building on his next visit here

be renaedied, in the near future.

c;vino Greed More Rope.

While the magnates Of the millinery
market in New York are openly re-
joicing over their success in getting
the L. S. Senate finance comittee at
Washington to practically kill by
amendment the tariff clause protecting
bird life from the ravages of feather
butchers, the people of city and coun-
try are beginning to protest by the
thousands. BY wire, mail and delega-
ton, New Workers are joining the bird
loving American public in demanding
of their senators that this outrageous
Joker by Senator Clapp be stricken
from the single tariff clause that came
in answer to general non-partisan
demand of the people. If the feather
dealers finally win, their triumph Will
be short lived, for the day when greed
may unrestrainedly pray upon any
portion of the world is drawing to a
close. Other folks have natural rights
as well as the greedy ones.

Chelsea Grange.

One of the recent new Grange halls
that are always an evidence of Grange
prosperity and Grange perma nency. Is
that of Chelsea Grange in Maine. For
two years the project has been under
way and there are now only few fin
ishing touches to be put on. The lum-
Der was bought standing in the forest.
The Grange men gave their labors
freely to cut it and haul it to the mill
to be sawed and prepared for the
building. They also contributed a
large part of the labor required in the
erecting of the building and so incl
dentally learned a practical lesson in
cooperation. The new property is es-
timated to be worth $4,000 and there is
only $500 debt upon it. Chelsea
Grange is not large one, having but
la members, but they are active and
the work they have accomplished and
the spirit displayed are evidences OF
enterprise and loyalty worthy com

Circulation of the Scriptures.

We are very pleased to report the cir
culation for 3he British and Foreign
Bible societNPr the last year as reach
ing the astonishing figures of 7.s99,O0o
volumes. TheSBibe Society of Scotland
for the last year of record, from the
report just at Hand. has u circulation
of 2.359.9S5 volumes. If these figures are
added to the ISSUES of the American
Bible Society. whiyh have already been
published as 4,o4e.6i0 volumes. SUI
pcrb total of 14,sOS.5e5 volumes repre-
sents the missionars circulation of the
Scriptures on the part of the English
speaking people all over the world. To
this would have to be added the COM
mercial circulation of the Scriptures By
the great Bible presses-Oxford. Nelson
& Sons, The Interna tional, and others
small and large-and the circulation of
Bible Societies which, at
the present time, we are not able to
give. 1t requires some effort of the
imagipa ton to see the significance of
this vast sowing of the seed of the
Kingdom in the field of the World.

Wall Streets Decline.

A New York correspondent writes:
with its thousands of brokers
matching pennies and idly chatting
from morn till eve, Wall Street is this
week ready to admit a stagnation in
its deserted market place that threat
most ornamental stock swappers into
real work elsewhere. In spite of the
normal slowness of summertime and
the shaky state of political affairs, the
bull and bear leaders have now con
coded that the public seems finally de-
termined not to bite at their bait,
which means the poorest kind Of FISH
ing. Within a year it is predicted that
hundreds of brokers who have for
years lived like kings on the easy
money Of speculation will be forced to
give up the game with hardly a dollar
tn show for their shearng of shy
lambs"
Wall street will long have its defend
ers, and all over Gods footstool are
found men who pose as knowing the
whole game, the cause of depression
and the silent determination Of great
money powers to bring the world to its
knees for presumins to interfere. Yet
to every man of intelligence ebsery
ance and faculty for putting two and
two together, has come the conviction
that legalfzed sw winding games are on
their last legs He knows that stencil
by any other name befouls Just as
much atmosphere. He realizes that In
the moral awakening the world is find
ing less and less room for the swindler,
the sharper and the men who will not
do honest labor Wall street in the last
few years has felt the growth of this
moral sentiment. Daily the number of
men who live like kings on the easy
money of speculation is growing bca-
tifully less. God speed the day
But up will bob a hero with loud
voice and confident air. who can see no
other way for the world to go on, but
with the aid of such institutions as
stock gambling domination. However.
we are willing to take a chance on con-
tinuation of human existence without
legalized swindling. lotteries, pool sell
ing. gambling, drug traffic and lillor
business
Do you know that such condition
would instantly cut in two the neees-
sary expenditure of human energy now
required to feed. clothe and keep hu-
manity moving? Do you know that the
eight-hour day would instantly drop to
four or less?
Give 1t little thought.
