HOYES.


Our school closed last Tuesday. The
teacher, Mr.. Alexander. made the pu-
pills very happy that morning by pre-.
senting each one with a nice package of
candy and a most handsome souvenir,
after which both teacher and scholars
spent the afternoon with their neighbor
school at Flatwoods, and had very
pleasant time. For Mr.. Alexander we
can say that he taught a very successful
school. Although the attendance was
good, Cecil Smith was the only pupil
who did not miss day or a class this
winter.
Mrs. Lou Keller of Romney, is visit
ing her parents this week Her father
remains critically ill.
Miss Oscie Casteel. one of the Friends

last Wednesday and will remain for an
indefinite time.
The relatives and friends of Mrs.
Halle Custer are very anxious for her
recovery. She is yet at Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, where she recently
underwent very serious operation.

rived in Hoyes one day last week and

THE BREATH TEST.

According to advices from New York
breath test to discover if members
of train crews have been indulging in
strong beverages, has been adopted
by the Pennsylvania railroad authorities.
By this method it is explained, an in
spector gets to leeward of the subject
of the test, and the latter is required to
breathe with such fullness and freeness
that the "human testing machine" as
he is dalled, will be enabled to decide by
a Whit or two whether the suspect is
guilty or innocent, says the Pittsburgh
acknowledgements.
At the verv outset, it will be noticed,
the admonition to breathe through the
nose, so strongly urged by the health
experts, is disregarded and defined by
the tester, no matter how earnestly the
suspect may declare, while talking at a
safe distence, that it would be injurious
to breathe through his mouth. Then
there is another weighty objection to
the breath test in the fact that many
persons are so defective in the sense
of smell that they cannot detect the
difference between Whit of coffee and
Whit of the stuff made from corn and
rye. Thus man may be strict
abstainer and yet. by drinking just one
cup of coffee, be misjudged and punish
ID fo, n hl,1n1a~ fbo oF
tester.
Is there way to fool the human test
ing machine? That is the question which
now presents itself to the individual who
believes his system requires certain
amount of alcoholic stimulant. There
are men who have fooled their wives
all of the time and others who have
fooled their wives some of the time, by
the use of cloves as ''breath changer, 4"
but the human testing machines, we
are informed, are endowed with some
quality which enables them to tell what
preceded the cloves. However, cloves
are not the only things that suggest
themselves for fooling purposes. How
about a couple of strong and healthy
onions as disguise? 1t is probable
that they would create a reasonable
doubt, from which the suspect would
derive benefit, even if the inspector is
cold blooded person. Then how about
chunk of prime old Limburger as a
chaser? Shrewd, indeed, must be the
that odor the fragrance of any beverage
no matter how strong. There is the
danger, however, that onions and Linn
burger may also be tabooed, and if that
is done then it will be hard. indeed, to
beat the game of the human testing
machine.

POPULARITY.

Alciblades, the Athenian demagogue,
cared nothing for the welfare of his
country, but only his own advancement.
He would espouse and argue any cause
that meant success to himself. He was
popular for time, but at last was
ostracised as being his country's enemy.
Athenian citizens who were mislead
by his popular, put fallacious, argu-
ments, soon saw that he was menace
and not champion of the peoples
rights.
So it is today. Many go about the
country appealing to the passions and
prejudice of the people are their worst
enemies. In fact, about the most dan
gerous man to our state is the one who
will agree to anything that for the
moment seems to be popular. We need
strong men who have the courage of
their convictions, and who will stand for
the right as they see it, regardless of
public sentiment. Public sentiment is
not always right. The worlds greatest
benefactors have been tortured, burned
and crucifed. Those who have been
cursed while living have had wreathes
of roses strewn over their graves.
Beware then of him who would flatter
with soft words and fair promises. The
real friend is the one who speaks truth.
The true patriot will not be moved by
to do that which he thinks is wrong.
Listen not to the song of the Sirens,
where the bleaching bones of their vic
tins are piled high, but rather hear the
voice of reason. That is the only right
way.

his disciples wrote of these events in a
form in accordance with their own and
prevailing and popular beliefs.
Chambers Encyclopedia of Religious
knowledge says: when the contem-
poraries of Christ beheld the miraculous
effects of his power on the bodies and
spirits of the so-called demoniacs, it was
natural that they should speak of'it in
language Ineligible to their age and in
harmony with its general notions.
Under the conditions of the popular be-
lief it is difficult to see that there was
any other course open to the evangeli-
cal historians-e even if they did not share
the common belief of their countrymen
other than to adopt the current rep
resentation.
DIR. White of Cornell, adopted this
theory. Speaking OF the false idea of
diabolic agency in mental disease he
says: '1n the New Testament the cast
ing out of demons through which is re-
fracted the beautiful and simple story
of that power by which Jesus of Naza-
reth soothed purturbed minds by his
presence, or quelled outbursts of mad
ness by his word, gave abundant exam
pies of this. -
If we believe in the authenticity of
the Scriptures and hold even low views
of inspiration, we must reject this view.
1t represents Christ as selecting and
using as His teachers and the founders
of His church men who were not capa-
bic of writing an authentic account of
the simplest facts, and who instead of
giving the world true history of their
masters life have given a perversion
of it.
Demonism is a fact, however unpleas-
ant the thought may be to US, or how
ever unpopular it may be to some. In
fact 1t seems to be very unpopular.
Satan has the largest following in the
world. He gets real homage from many
people. When once a person has given
himself over to Satan he may use them
to good effect for his kingdom. But his
is kingdom of darkness, He darkens
the minds of his subjects lest they should
discern the truth.
But he cannot deprive one of his pet
schemes spiritism-of its ear marks.
His stamp is upon it. Strange that any
persons should be deceived by it. have
heard of a man receiving messages from
his departed wife. What a slam he is
making at the character of the good
woman. To think of her now sending
messages to her husband through a
medium she never heard of and with
whom she would not have associated
in life Boshl isn't il? How a man
must revere the memory OF his wife who
would pass him by, and select medium
of lying spirits as the one to whom she
would give her message. Going to put
the preacher out of business are they?
Well the devil himself has been working
to do that for all these ages, and 1t is
not likely that few dellded persons
will be able to do what the devil has
never succeeded in doing. They would
better call a halt, face about and for
sake such abominable practices and quit
forever the service of the devil, lest
they find them selves in the prison house
of Satan and crashing their teeth in the
frenzy of eternal despair. May the Lord
have mercy upon all these and open
their eyes before it is too late.

Do you know any young man who is in
vesting money in tombstone like this?
If so, hand him this picture.
Here is the tombstone that stands at
the heads of tens of thousands of graves.
You cannot see it as you enter the grave
yard, but the relations of the man in the
grave know that the tombstone is there.
This is the tombstone that costs more
money than all other kinds of tombstones
put together.

WAGES OF SIN.

The press reports recently tell US
another white society woman COM
mits suicide after a brief married life
with negro. 1t has been laid down in
holy writ for ages that the wages of sin
are death. In seeking self destruction
this poor erring woman has only paid
the penalty her unconquerable con-
science eXacted in compliance with this
holy law. The living can but wrap the
white robes of charity about her awful
mistake and leave her sins to Higher
Judge than we. But from her mistakes
the living can draw many momentous
lessons and mark for their own guidance
the immutable exaction of the penalty
of all sin by the God of Nature.

that Is the opal, which at its best has

an emerald interesting apart from its

makes the woman with green eyes the
