The brother who is strong mentally,
morally and physically, should gladly
abstain from whatever would stumble
another. Should we not be glad to lay
down our lives for the brethren? If
SO, should we not be ready to abstain
from using trifing liberties for our
weaker brothers sake, for whom Christ
died? This is strong argument.
Rather preserve others from tempta-
ton TOO strong for them by faithfully
abstaining from everything that might
appear evil in others sight, however
right it might be in your own sight,
and however correct your own judg-
ment Of the Divine Law on the sub
jeet.
The advantages connected with MEN,
bershin In Gods Kingdom consist rath-
er in righteousness, peace and joy in
the Holy Spirit enjoyed by probation
airy members of the Kingdom class.

GREAT NAMES HAVE GONE
Long List Of Men of Genius Whose
Line Is No Longer Represented
on the Earth.

When one considers how many fam
lilies there are which trace their an
cestry in a direct line for many gen.
erations, it is rather surprising fact
that there is not a single living de-
scendant in the male line of some of
the greatest men the world has ever
produced.
For the preservation of our illusions
regarding genius, it probably is far
better that there should be no disap-
pointing ordinary persons left In the
world to represent the men whom we
delight to honor.
To find a Milton engaged In the in
surance business, or a Byron on the
stock exchange would jar dreadfully
on ones sense of the fitness of things.
The following is a list of some of
the illustrious men whose line never
will be represented on the earth
again as long as the world stands:
Chaucer, Shakespeare, Spencer, MIL
ton, Cowley, Butler, Dryden, Pope,
Cowper, Goldsmith, Byron, Moore, Sir
Philip Sidney, Sir Walter Raleigh,
Drake, Cromwell, Hampden, Monk.
Peterborough, Nelson, Bolingbroke,
Walpole, Chatham, Pitt, Fox, Burke,
washington, Canning, Bacon, Locke,
Newton, Davy, Hume, Gibbon, Mac
auley, Hogarth, Sir Joshua Reynolds.
Sir Thomas Lawrence, David Garrick.
John Kemble, Edmund Kean.

LIKE PIRATE DAYS OF OLD
Men Who Were Shanghaled From
Norfolk, Va, Seek Satisfaction
From Authorities.

The days of the oyster pirates and
old wind TANNERS were recalled when
Walter McGirth, son of North Caro-
lima farmer, and Ebert Cocran, son OF
a former Pittsburg banker, told how
they had been changhaied at the point
Of a pistol and forced to work their
way as seamen to Hamburg when they
thought that they were going to ship
to Boston, says the Philadelphia Times.
The immigration authorities are hand
ling the case and a deputy United
States marshal, accompanied by the
two men, is on the way to Norfolk
to arrest the agent who shipped them.
The two young men met last Nov
emher In Norfolk, Va. Both were out
of employment and sought work about
the docks. They were met, according
to their story, by an alleged crew ship
ping agent, who offered to book them
on the steamer Dortmund Of the Ham
burg-American line, which was lying
at the docks. The young men were
told that the ship was bound for Bos-
ton. They accompanied the agent to
an Office
They say that they met Swede on
the way and he consented to 90 along.
The three were asked to sign ship
ping papers, but the Swede refused to
sign until he had read them. This
angered the agent, who Is alleged to
have drawn a revolver and knocked
the Swede unconscious.
The young men say that they were.
given about So worth of clothing and
put aboard the ship. Then they
learned that they were bound for Ham
burg instead Of Boston, but were
forced to work. When the steamer.
reached the other side Of the Atlantic
the young men went to Consul Gen
eral Skinner at Hamburg and
lodged their complaint. Mr.. skinnex
sent them back to this country to,
make their complaint to the 1mmigrar
ton authorities.

SHREWD SCHEME is WASTED
Man Who "Beat" tho Customs In
spectors Might Be Excused for
Feeling a Little Annoyed.

The exacting regulations Of the Gus
lean returning from trip abroad. The
man or woman who cannot find more
than the legal limit of $500 to invest In
trinkets, presents, and various person
al articles of apparel is rare. To be
held up like a criminal and be forced
to discuss with inquisitive custom in
spectors the value of every little ar
ticle in ones baggage is vexatious. So
people frequently resort to subter-
fuge.
A man who had been in Siberia on
business had an opportunity to buy
there at very reasonable rates some
beautiful sable skins. He decided that
it was too good a chance to make his
wife a desirable gift to be overlook
ed; so out of hundreds Of skins he Sc
lected dozen of great beauty. On
reaching New York he sought the CO.
operation Of several men friends, and
each of them slipped a skin or two
down the legs Of his trousers, tying
them with Irvine to his suspenders to
prevent them from dropping too far.
It was very hot day, and as they
stood about on the pier waiting to be
passed by the customs men the skins
got warm and smelled villainously.
Finally, passed by the inspectors with
their baggage, they fastened to place
where in seclusion they could remove
tho sable skins and turn them over
to the owner.
Later the latter told the house that
was to make them up of his ruse, and
was considerably startled when the
manager said: "That was good deal
of trouble to take with an article that

To Bring Up Fldo Correctly.

A writer in Country Lie in America
gives some advice on the bringing up
Of a dog. AS he tells it, the process
looks easy enough. The first and most
important lesson for a pup to learn is
to stop anything he may be doing
when you say "Stop," and to continue
when you say "All right" If well
learned, this will explain to him all
future commands. After this comes
the lesson to lie down when you COM
mand Down." and to stay down while
you leave him. For this latter it is
best to tie him to something, and then
If he does not drop when you call
"Down" from distance, return
quickly and, scolding, push him down
forcibly. A caress and q taste Of
food should be his reward If he does
right.

MYTHS DISPELLED AT

KIEV, Oct. 1s.-The myth concern
ing the presence of two Jews in the
neighborhood about tho time the bow
Andrew Iushinsky was murdered was
dispelled today at the trial Of Mendel
Beiliss, charged with the murder, by the
testimony Of the jews IN question, Lam
dan and Ettinger by name, who ac-
counted for all their movements. It
had been alleged that these two men
were IN some way implicated in the
crime.
Another sinister rumor, that some OF
Yushinsky's blood had been used in
connection with the laying Of the foun-
dation stone of the Old Age home, was
shown to be groundless by the testi.

Says Fallacy Is Obvious.

Inc Iallacy OF the statement is
obvious to anyone who will give it
serious thought.
In the past in times of war when
the government has reached that
stage where it required additional
credit 1t has issued its obligation
to pay either IN the form of bonds
or It's notes, the latter being made
IN convenient size and amounts to
be used BY the people as a circu-
lating medium. 1t is not money
it is promise to pay. who else
under such conditions should issue
this obligation7 The government Ia
the one that needs the money to
pay obligations incurred on ac-
count OF the unusual expenditures,
incidental TO war, and in the alb
sence of having gold in its treas
ury to meet those obligations, it
raises the money or settles its
debts by selling bonds to the banks
and the public or to whomever Will
buy them. Lacking ability to do
this it has issued at times notes
as described above.
Why should the banks issue such
currencyi The banks do not owe
the debt. 1t is not the Obligation
of the banks to do so. It is the
government obligation

A few words at this time may
not be amiss regarding the oft
made statement that banks have

government 2 per cent bonds The
benefits to the bank have not been
out OF keeping with the capital in

ernment has benefited TO a very
great extent.
In other words, tho government
has been able to sell to the in
vesting public and to banks, bonds
at par which at the present time
aggregate about 100000, 900 out
standing bearing only Q per cent.
The only reason these bonds
should be sold at such low rate
OF interest was due to the fact
that they were available as secur-
ity for national bank note issues.
The investing public would not
buy government bonds bearing less
than per cent in any quantity.
At the present time even that rate
would not attract them. The 9 per
cent bonds are selling at about
95 now, due TO the pending cur
rency law
