Missionary Society.

The Missionary Society Of the Meth
odist Church met last Monday with
Mrs. Stuttgart presiding.
1t was the last meeting of this confer
ence year.
The parting Of Saint Paul with the
elders Of Ephesns land doubtless other
Christians we're PRESENT. is one Of the
most touching and pathetic scenes in
his life. Since that day every faithful
minister and his wife can understand
that prayer is the only consolation at
such partings. Mrs. Adams, the wife
OF our retiring minister, since she came
to us has been our president, laboring
with never falling zeal, giving her best
efforts to advance the interest of the So
ciety and all other church work
The society, to express their sincere
appreciation for this and also as testi-
mony Of their deep personal affection
and love, presented a most beautiful
gift, a set Of solid silver knives and
| forks.
We will all remember and treasure
her beautiful words Of acceptance and
the brief review of the last two years as
we stood grouped around her.
Then Mrs. Miles in gracious, tender
words voiced the sentiments Of the So
ciety, but others could not refrain and
added some sweet tribute Of their own
to Mrs. Adams. rs
Wisdom, wealth, ambition, every
thing save love shall perish. When
that time comes may none Of us have
to say:
Il lived for myself thought for myself,
i For myself and none beside,
4 lust as If Jesus had never lived
| AS if he had never died

BUNTING GUY HAWKES..
q Custom That Is Still ReIigiousIy ob-
 served In England.

It is over three centuries since lhe British houses of parliament were searched and the barrels of gunpowder under the custody of Guy Hawkes. discovered a few hours before the opening of the session. That discovery was not due to any special acumen on the part of the authorities, since 1t followed upon information sent them by letter. But there has certainly been no lack of vigilance since then, seeing that on no occasion since 1905 has parliament been opened until its cellars had been searched.
 The duty of examining the vaults and secret passages is assigned to the lord chamberlain of the court, but generally it is the vice cham berlain who conducts the search. His assistants are the deputy ser geant at arms of the house of com mons, the clerk of the board of works and an inspector of police. There is d lot of ceremony pertain ing to the proceeding.
 The four officers mentioned are preceded by four yeomen of the guard in uniform and fully armed. Through one corridor after another they tramp, peering into every dark corner until they finally reach the conclusion that no gunpoTder has been stored in the cellars and that therefore it is quite safe for parliament to meet.
 When, during the reign of James l., the earliest searches were order ed, the guardsmen carried lanterns through the dark passages, and now, although the corridors and underground passages are thorough ly lighted by electricity, the good old custom is still respected by the guardsmen, who yet carry lanterns in their hands.
 In the days of the Stuarts it was the custom when the inspection was finished for the lord chamber lain to dispatch d message to the king by d mounted soldier to the effect that it would be entirely safe for him to attend the opening ses- sion of parliament. Nowadays the mounted soldier is no longer seen riding posthaste to the king. but the vice chamberlain still sends the traditional message to his ma jesty by private wire, and the king is assured that there are no explo- sives in the cellars and that he will not be exposed to unusual risks if he chooses to meet his lords and commons. The king may not have the remotest notion of opening parliament, but the message is sent just the same. and it is duly receiv- ed and acknowledged. - Harpers Weekly.

Currants.

Currants are really little grapes quite without seeds, having thin skins and very sweet. They have been known from very ancient times, for the name itself is cor ruption of 'Corinth," the Greek city where they were originally cul- tivated. Vines produce no fruit for three years after planting, but in the fourth year there is a small crop, which increases up to the twelfth. Those gr'Wn in the island of Zante are most esteemed. Cur rants are simply dried in the sun on the ground and then packed for shipment. In some parts of Greece they are also made into sweet wine.

GENTLEMEN FAVOR
 A NEW FENCE MEASURE

AOROA AOA bAAO IT V stock sanitary board, reasona- ble fence law and no repeal of the state butchers license law, are among the things advocated by the cattlemen of Arizona. This was demonstrated at a meeting of the. legislative board of the Arizona Cattle Growers associa- tion, held last evening at the Hotel Adams.
 The legislative board is con- posed of cattlemen living in eve ry part of the state. About thir- ty-five attended the meeting last evening. It was in the nature of a joint meeting, the members of the live stock committees of the house and senate being present. D. A. Mollett, chairman of the legislative board, presided over the gathering.
 Senator J. H. Harrison's bill to raise the fee for inspecting cattle from to 10 cents head, was approved. This is one of the methods favored by the cattle men for raising revenue to carry on the work of the live stock sanitary board. Several other methods were discussed. Among those that were approved are in- creased fees for recording brands and bills or sale with the sanita- ry board. All these were ap- proved practically without oppo- sition.
 There are many reasons why the cattIemen do not favor the repeal of the state butchers lie ense law, which is provided for in a bill introduced in the senate by A. A. Worsley. One reason is that it will offer greater temp tations to cattle theives.
 The present fence law has had the effect of antagonizing the cattlemen and farmers. Last evening the legislative board went on record as being opposed to the law and in favor of a reas- onable legal fence" A number of cattlemen spoke strongly in favor of a measure that will give both the stock grower and the farmer a square deal.
 To be legal under the present law, a fence must have five wires and a post every twelve feet. The cost of such a fence makes it pro- hibitive, but unless the farmer has 1t he cannot collect for dam age done his crops by stray stock There is provision in the law that the board of supervisors of any county having property as- sessed at more than 5000, 900 can designate the entire county or any part of it as a no fence" district, where the statute does not apply. So far no such dis trict has been established.
 Before the present law was adopted farmer could collect damages from stock owners, whether he had any fence or not. The law gave him the right to hold stock until the damages were paid. In some quarters the farmers have been demanding the re enactment of that law.
 The bill decided on by the cat tlemen last meeting makes le- gal fence one of four wires with a post no more than a rod apart. It carries provisions for the col lection of damages when stock breaks through such a fence as that. Gazette.
