CAMP MEETING MONTH.

There is no reason why open-air preaching should be confined to Au- gust. but from habit the worshippers of New England regardless of sect have selected it to make the groves of God ring with prayer and praise and for the next thirty days people of all religious faiths and of no faith, will live and worship and frolic in the open air Tn one respect all camp meetings are very much alike-at the preaching points men of fervor and power exhort sinners to repentance: at the social retreats the old folks sing and the young folks spark: and the heather sit in the shade and gossip and swap news; while the horsemen talk crops and stock and swap steeds, and the camp policemen will discover a bootlegger making "the wee nipple" profitable by refreshing the thirsty who sneak into the bush. There are all kinds of people and all kinds of doings there because they are all hu- man. But after all has been said the camp meeting has done much good and it would be about as easy to make an end of the state as of these re- ngious open-air gatherings

A POLITICAL IARlEE.

It was the endeavor of Taft to lift the tariff from politics to strictly business basis and although that is the destiny of the tariff, he failed.
 The country is about to have a tariff feisted upon it now which is more politically partisan than any tariff ever framed.
 No public hearing has been had upon the bill since it was framed; the pro- visions of the bill have all been pli- vately fixed in caucus and the minor ity were net given more days than it's frameFs took weeks te go through 1t; it keeps duty en rice, a southern pro- duet, and makes all western and southern farm products freei and while sugar is te ge to the free list, the su- gar growers are te be allowed three years in which to liquidate since they have much paper in the banks, a con- sideration granted nc other class,
 Attention is called to the fact that in forming it's new tariff Germany consulted 1000 technical specialists It sought the wisdom and experience of it's business men.
 This is what America is going to do. It wants no more tariffs that let in foreign manufactured goods free and taxes the raw materials Of which they are made

THE PEOPLES HOLIDAY.

There is no denying that Sunday is the peoples holiday; and it is so be- cause a majority of the people can afford no other. It is a day of rest and there appears to be a determina- ton on the part of the people that it shall be a day for recreation. It is then most men are able to respond to the heart call for larger freedom the desire for fresh air and innocent amusement wherever there are parks or beaches or lakes or groves the peo- pie seem to find them, and in these days the trolley cars and the steam boats and the automobiles often find Sunday business the most profitable and the Monday morning papers show from the accidents that it is the most perilous to life. Since the declara- ton appears to be fully endorsed that the Sabbath was made for man. not man for the Sabbath" there is as much necessity that it should be made sane and safe, as that any other holi- day should. Those who seek a good time on Sunday should be mindful that carelessness and foolhardiness are no more commendable on Sunday than on any other day. Innocent recrea- tion is not a crime. but the fatalities from heedlessness are akin to it.

IMPORTED PRoVENDER.

II is in the springtime that New England looks south for early vege- tables and melons and the heighth of the season is reached in June and July. The food gateway for this part of the country fig the Harlem river yard. which is controlled by the New Haven road; and although New Eng land grows 5O.Oe0.OOO bushels of po- tatoes annually, there were shipped in the census year from this point 1721 carloads of potatoes or an average of 54 a day. Boston got $50 carloads, Providence 204. Worcester T, Spring field 102. Hartford 70, New Haven 3S and other points 6S6. This is more potatoes than were ever handled be- fore. Some of the very cars in which these are now being brought into New England will in a short time be trav- cling back loaded with Maine potatoes.
 There were likewise handled in the some month 467 carloads of southern vvatermelons. of which 211 went to 1soston. e6 to Providence. 15 to Wor- ester. 29 to Springfield and 15 to Hartford Tn the same period 1855 car 'rodg of cantaloupes. 112 carloads of

 He was hailed with hearty well come from all especially from Miss West, whe inWardly congratulated her. self on her becoming attire, and thought Cynthia would be sorry that she was dressed in such strange array. Thae young lady, however, seemed in nc whit disturbed, and MT. Sweet took his place by the driver. saying T was brought up on a farm. you know, and picking blacberries was toe much for me to resist"
 "All the paiis in?' inquired MT. Will lis then off we go." and they waved a goodby to those who were watching them from the porch of the old farm house. It was not a long drive but Farmer Willis was something of 8 jok- CT in his way, and it was wonderful how rough the way proved. Later in the day, his wife said to him, Why did you come by this road, George? Isn't l mitted her husband with sly smile, but this is a shorter road, and we wanted to reach the bushes as soon as possible. Then too they all ate pret- ty hearty dinner, and a good shaking up will help digestion, We'll go back the other way"
 Time would fail to record all the epi- isodes of the afternoon. Suffice 1t is to say that the white gown was mostly left in strings on the bushes, and the broad hat was lifted from the fair locks it was intended to protect and placed on a tall brambie far beyond it's owners reach. Poor Miss West was glad to borrow the linen duster to ride home in, her hostess no longer needing it to protect her dres. Miss Cynthia did get lost from sight in the bushes. but Farmer Willis noticed that Clarence Sweet disappeared about the same time, and kindly left them to look out for each other. Clarence seized the chance to say Now Gym thia, we are well rid of Alyse West for time, and I want to tell you that you have won my heart completely and want your promise to share my future life Can't you love me in return? My whole soul clings to you" "As firmly as these briars cling now?'' broke in Cynthia with laugh. Of known 1t for a long time. but what a place for a proposal! Help me out of this bramble, and I'll cling to you in stead" Observant ones noticed that Mir Sweets signet ring had taken it's place on Cynthia's finger, but no com ment was made.
 When the engagement was announc- ed, as 1t was before they left the farm, many sincere good wishes were given to the happy pair, but Alyse West felt that life was somewhat @ failure even to one of the progressive party.

torian writes, Judges swire on the bench: the chaplain cursed the sailors to make them attendice to his ser mons; the King swore necessarily and at the top of his voice"
 A story is related of the Duchess of of Marlborough that she called on a lawyer without leaving her nan1e. '1 could not make out who she was,' said the clerk afterwards, but she swore so dreadfully she must be a lady of quality"
 We have surely advanced long way from such conditions. That which once was considered a mark of gentility is now one of vulgarity. No real gentle man is guilty of profane speech and 1t goes without saying that no real lady is.
 Profanity is one of the most irration- al of vices. 1t is simply oStentatious insult to God. AS the great preacher, Robert Hall. once said. Tt is difficult to account for practice which grati- fies no passion, and promotes no in terest, unless we ascribe it to a. certain vanity of appearing superior to relig- tous fear, which tenpts men to make bold with their Maker
 In an order issued Aug. 3, 1776, Gen. Washington said: The general is sor- ry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane swearing and cursing, a vice hitherto little known In the American army is grow : ing into fashion He hopes the officers will by example as we'll as influence, endeavor to check 1t. and that both they and the men will reflect that we can have little hope of the blessing of heaven on eur army If we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this it Is vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character detests and de- spises it.'
 He who has fallen or is falling under the power of this inpious habit should resolutely take himself in hand. Let him reflect on the injury done his own soul iii uttering blasphemy against his Maker. The Lord will not hold him

A GOOD SUMMER DRINK.

Few people realize that skim milk or buttermilk, are more healthful drinks than full milk-milk with the cream in it.
 Cream is the heat producing part of milk and makes it good winter food. An authority upon milk ayers a pint of skim milk will repair more tissue and furnish little more energy and make about half as much heat as pint of whole milk-and it will cost less. Five pints of skim milk will furnish as much food value as a pound of round steak, and cost a quarter as much. glass of skim milk and half pound of bread will furnish one third enough nutriment for an entire day. and will cost cents. And skim milk is good for babies in extremely hot weather.
 The buttermilk which is now sold at many of the soda fountains is su- perior to skim milk because it does not curdle in the stomach and is more easily digested than other kinds of milk. This authority says: Butter milk is always a better hot weather food than whole milk for grown peo- pie, and sometimes it is for babies. On hot day it is better to drink butter milk than any fermented liquor. It promotes health and quenches thirst

Goldsmith was right when he declared "A map does not eX hibit a more distinct view of the sit uation and boundaries of every coun- try. than it's news does a picture of the genius and morals of it's inhahitants. If you read the news and remember it you will find that since our population represents the people of all countries that our news is made up of all the atrocious acts which take place in all other countries. It horrifies us when the Bulgars massacre Christians worse than when our own people rise up and slaughter inoffensive Indians, Negroes or Chinamen. Our prejudices act as a buffer for our nerves. Good news should have been provided with wings instead of bad news which it seems to follow as a tortoise follows a hound. The news which brings no joy is not the kind to take home or to give to a neighbor.
