North Coast Limited
Mas Close Cali

The North Coast Limited had a
narrow escape from being wrecked
Monday evening. An east bound
freight had taken the south track but
the switch had not been closed when
No. came on at high speed and not
ten seconds too soon did the engineer
and Operator Urdahl discover the
open switch. The fine train was quick
ly reduced in speed and Mr.. Urdahl
made the run Of his life throwing the
switch just in time to keep the big en-
CINE on the track. A number Of spec
tators on the depot platform made
themselves suddenly scarce when they
saw the limited coming into on open
switch. The operator and engineer
certainly deserve praise for their
splendid work in averting what would
have been no doubt an awful wreck.

your success or failure in many
things.

THE BATON WlElDER RESPONSE
BILE FOR MAKING OF FINE
ORCHESTRA

1t lis q significant fact that the great
ness of a symphony orchestra is meas
ured by the greatness of its conductor.
The men are not automatons, but
they are helpless to 60 beyond TIE
confines set them by the conductors
mentality. He alone must image tho
contents Of the piece and he alone
must chisel the figure as he sees 1t.
Each man may be an artist, but In tAs.
performance Of symphony he nust
follow his leader.
That is the reason why there are
so few great conductors in the wsrfd.
Ordinary men, however musical and
we'll trained, cannot be great conduc.
tors.
When Emil Oberhofer, conductor
of the Minneapolis Symphony Orches-
ira, was little boy he used to hear
beautiful music in the sounds made
by the wind In the trees, by the
trees, by the streams and birds. He
was able to hear grand major and nfD,
or chords In the noises of the. streets
On certain we'll known street OF the
city OF Munich the slender dreamy
eyed boy used often to be seen stand
ing quite still, PARKWAY look In his
delicate face. The careful observer
would have seen many emotions pass
over the quiet face as the boys sslee
tive ear caught the accents OF despair
and of joy, anger and defiance in the
babel about him.
Always he heard the great orehes-
trail accompaniment Of more distant
sound, the beating music Of hosses'
hoofs upon the pavement, the rumble
and roll Of vehicles and the human
voices making somehow in his musical
brain splendid order out Of disorder,
the music Of the pageant Of life. Ar
lists would have seen its color, but
Emil Oberhoffer was the stuff out Of
which great conductors are made and
he was early in life at his inevitable
work Of selecting. ordering. intefpreta-
ting massive chords, finding thread
Of lovely melody and weaving IL fntot
the pattern Of orchestral music which,
was his very life, even then.

An Ideal Governor.
Communicated

The time will soon be at hand when the people of the State of Arkansas will hold a special elec- tion for the purpose of eiecting a new Governor.
 No che in the state is better qualified for the position than Hon. Geo. B. Cook, the present Superintendent of Public h. strucuon. It is a known fact that he IS a man of superior ex- ecutive ability, one who is care ful in the administration of pub lie affairs, one of the best educa- ted men in the South in fact a man of the people who lead the ticket on two separate occasions when he was elected to the high position he now holds. If he can be persuaded to permit his name to go before the people in the special election as candi- date for Governor, he will sweep the state by an overwhelming majority. Taxpayer.

LESSON TEAl-1cLcSiS o.S-A-, ''~- GOLDEN TEXT-'"The wages or sin ls death. but the free gift of God IS eternatt let life in Christ Jesus our Lord fom o'AS R. V.
 The first great fact recorded in the book of Genesis is that of Creatlon' which may be divided into several les ser facts. The second great fact IS that of the Fall, which began with the temptation and ended with the exclu- sion from Paradise. In this lesson we come to the third great fact, the Flood. the account of which embraces the fifth to the ninth chapters. Chap ter five gives us Noah's genealogy; six, the history of the building of the ark: seven, the occupancy of the ark; eight, Noah's departure from the ark. and nine, Gods covenant with Noah.
 In this lesson sin flourishes like the proverbial green bay tree. Every imagination of the thoughts of mans heart was only evil continually V. 5. These thoughts were crystalliZed into the lives of men, for we read that 'the earth was filled with violence" Viewing this awful development of sin, God was so deply grieved in his heart that he turned aside (repented) from his plan and purpose thus far, to a determination to destroy man (v. D. Noah, however. found grace in Gods sight, as we see from v. g, even in the midst of these adverse circum- stances. Environment is powerful but not all-powerful, and it is never a match for Gods grace. We must not gather from this verse that Noah was faultless, but rather than he sought to conform his life to Gods will and not to the standards of those among whom he dwelt. Noah gave himself to a whole-hearted service to God. We are told that the foundation of Noah's acceptance before God was his faith, Heb. 11:7, like his great grand father Enoch, he had walked with God" (5:22) Noah stood absolutely alone and was thus thrown upon com panionship with God, compare v. g with JohY. ia
