Some people think high living >puts them on the way 10 the higher life when it has nothing in it but good taste in the mouth, and distressed feeling at the stomach, If they read their Bibls right they will discover that the feast has had very much less to do with ecstatic feelings than the fast.

SUNDAY MORNING TALK
Trees Full of Sap.

The Psalter is q choice manual of devotion not merely for it's spiritual insight but for the richness of it's imagery. It is full of telling figures and similes that haunt the memory. Where else may one. seeking a noble vocabulary, so refresh his soul as at this pure well of English undefeld?
 The trees of the Lord are full of sap" declares the Psalmist in happy phrase. He means that God is a good proWder. There is nothing meager about the Almighty's provision for the world that he has made, He opens his hand layishly to satisfy the desire of every living thing.

A gray head still active and interest : ed and enthusiastic is better find than that of a bank note. to borrow Stevenson's comparison. Nothing hear tens us more than the testimony of a pilgrim who, having been over long stretches of the road, pronounces it good Grandfathers and grandmothers retaining their delight in simple things sensible to beauty in nature, with kind ly sentiment toward the world they live in. and doing something for it's Welfare-these are beacons of hope to the younger@ generation. Their way shineth more and more unto the per feet day. They have entered into the increasing joy and peace that make the peculiar inheritance of righteous lives.

Elsewhere the good man is Iikened to tree noarishsd by the bounty of God. He shall be like tree planted by the rivers of water that bringth forth his fruit in his season, whose leaf also shall not wither." The trees that God nourishes are juicy with sap and the men that he sustains grow fresh and vivid to the end Of life.
 Human trees there are that Withefed and one need not look far afeld to see them. The zest. the delight of life has departed. Disillusionment is writ ten on the faces of many weary folk who have made full trial of what the world has to offer They were the ex- precision the French call passe. They have drained the cup of human pleas ures only to make wry faces at last over the dregs found in the bottom.

Am I wrong in declaring satiety and disgust to be the portion pre- eminent ly of those who spend life in carnal pieasure- seeking? My own ebservatien at least points solidly to that con- clusion. It Is the sinner rather than the saints who are jaded in the end. A career of physical delights is more than likely to issue in acrid disgust and self f-loathing.
 The impotence of mere things to satisfy Is clearly enough proclaimed by the average face one sees in Vanity Fair. Ennui, which has been described as tthe want of want and the com- plaint of those who have nothing to complain Of Is the special portion of the Idle and the selfish. All the high fiavers grow stale finally. The pass ing show becomes but vanity and yex- atiep of spirit.
 One may become wearfed and blase as he grows oider-but he is under nc necessity of becoming so. Life ought te be sweeter and freshsr as the years pass. Enthusiasm should increase and not diminish. The best work, the ma ture Judgments, the mellowest spirit should come later rather than earlier, Spring is beautiful and summer is vivid but nature yields her finest fruitage in autumn.

What do ysu suppose makes so many women folks so much more anxious te wear diamonds than te wear halees |? It is a fact, that the halo is so much out of style and out of mind that when most women see one in the painting of the old masters that most women inquire if it was the fashion to wear hoops in the hair in old times. Haloes represent the reward of purity and virtue, but from close observation in this vale of tears have never been able to tell .just what diamonds do stand for. They seem to glitter in front of vanity and pride, and to in yoke great deal of suspicion even where there are riches. Of course. we shall have to admit that they are nicer to have than hard luck, or any other misfortune. Haloes come later on in life but they wear great deal longer and where haloes are fashion able diamonds, we are told, will com 7
 nand very much less respect. We have no particular prejudice against diamonds, but the halo looks best to us.

If the young man could be made to his wife must be in praise of her he would save her many tears and himself many hard fall, It is not so easy to fool a woman as many men think: and when it comes to deception if both sides of the house are at it the wife has the man beaten to a frazzeI from the start. The woman may dis cover that the praise of her is a little overdraWn. but so long as she thinks it is love that prompts it she will not even charge her husband with being a sinner, We are not so intolerant of fattery as we should be-we all in- dulge tR sugar until it injuries us,

Eorthwood, Feb. o4.--About ten days
ago the Wrought IRON Range Company.
of st. Louis, Mo-, shipped a carload OF
stoves to Northwood and sent seven
men with teams and wagons to peddle
the stoves in Worth county. Soon after
they commenced operations. informa-
tons were filed against all OF the men,
charging them with the crime OF
peddling without u license. Three OF
the men were arrested and arraigncd
before Justice Hunter. At the hearing,
it was admitted by the state that the
stoves We're manufa cturcd by the
Wrought Iron Range Company, that
the defendants We're employed by the
manufacturer at a monthly salary and
had no other interest in the business
except as employees. 1t was admitted
by the defense that no license fee had
been paid.
The law requires a license fee of So
for each man peddiing with the kind Of
conveyance used by defendants, but
provides that the law shall not apply
ito persons selling their own produc-
ton, either by themselves or by their
employees" The defendants claimed
exemption under the provision of the
law The state claimed that the eN-
en,ption applied to the manufacturer
only and not to his employees. The
court sustained the contention of the
state and the defendants were bound
over to the grand jury.

present. w. II. Rowen. of Union. was
made chairman OF the meeting and w.
j. Scourick was secretary.
". II. Rowen. OF Union, was the first
on the program and he gave an excel
lent talk upon The Farmers View Of
the Proposed Good Roads Legislation.
Mr.. RoWcn was opposed to the taxing
and bonding method as contemplated
by the state legislature. In fact Mr..
Rowen seemed TO be pretty well salts
fed with the present condition. He
favored well drained and graded roads
and would have the funds handled as
at present with the same men in
charge. He favored, however, well
sraveled roads.
w. NJ. Satchell, OF Eldora, had a
carefully prepared paper upon Some
Facts and Figures Regarding the Pro-
posed Roads Legislation Mr.. Satchell
also opposed concrete or hard surfaced
rodas. Mr.. Satcheil did not consider
the mill levy sufficient to carry its
share of the cost and had about the
same opinion of the automobile tax.
MIR. Satche!l was not opposed to well
sraveled road however. and produced
no figures in their opposition.
