AMERICAN SHIPPING.

The restless, achieving American
people cut the Panama continental
backbone that dcfied every othe
race of workers. They light ant
protect rocky and sandy coasts will
an efficiency else where unknown. L
is the one great world industry which
they are content to leave to Other
peoples.
In time of peace, a profitable ave
nue. for labor and capital is lost. In
time of war, it is not possible to get
products transported to foreign
shores, as the country is now realiz-
ing with CONSERVATION.
Their has been half century OF
controversy between different ideas
Shall the government pay subsidies,
shall it remove the restrictions plac-
ed on foreign built ships, shall it
place preferential duties OH imports
in foreign ships? 1t seems impossi-
BILE to get majority for any one
PLAZA.
For thirty years it was maintained
that if Americans could buy ships
abroad, N an enormous tonnage now
owned by our business men, but sail
ed under foreign laws, would come
under our flag. The law of 1912 per-
mitted such registry, but no such
ships have been transferred.
The heart of the problem is this,
which must be admitted from all
points Of view: 1t costs more to oper-
ate. under the American flag. A
prominent ship owner. who has YES
sells under both registries, says it
costs him $13315 per day for al
American ship carrying 100000 feet
of lumber, and but $l00.S1 per day
for British ship carrying 100000
feet of lumber

some of the watch came into the city
and showed unto the chief priests all
| the things that were done.
~. And when they were assembled
with the elders, and taken counsel
they gave large money unto the sol
diers,
10. Saying. Say We, His disciples
came by night, and stole him away
while we slept.
IA. And if this come to the gov
ernor's ears, we will persuade him
and secure you.
Is. So they took the money, and
did as they were taught: and this
saying is commonly reported among
the Jews until this day.
Is. Then the eleven disciples went
away into Galilee, into mountain
where Jesus had appointed them.
II. And when they saw him, they
worshipped him: but some doubted.
IS. And Jesus came land spake I'M
to them, saying, All power is given
unto me in heaven ana in earth.
10. Go We therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost:

OLD ENEMIES NOW ALLIES.
European Line-Up Looks Queer in the
Light Of History.

philadelphia Record.)
In the history of Europe during the
past century nothing is more curious
than the easy way in which national
alliances have been made, broken,
made again and changed as dynastic,
economic and racial reasons have de-
manded. Here are few of these po-
litical transformations:
In 1915 Prussia, Russia, England
and Austria combined against France
and crushed the power of Napoleon
forever.
In 1S49, when revolution in Hungary
threatened the house of Hapsburg in
Austria, Russia interviewed and by
force of arms placed the present en-
peror, Francis Joseph, firmly upon his
throne.
In 1S55-56 England, France, Austria
and Italy allied thesmelves with the
Turks against Russia in the Crimean
war;
In 1859 France defeated Austria in
Italy, and gave great impetus to the
unification of Italy.
In 1866 Prussia gave it's present al
/ ly, Austria, fearful beating at Sa-
dowa and forced it out of first place
in the Germanic confederation.
In 1870 Prussia inflicted upon
France the defeat, with accompanying
loss of territory, that has been the
cause of Europe's unrest ever since.
| In 1877 Russia defeated the Turks
decisively, but was cheated out OF the
rightful fruits of her victory by a
| combination of the other powers in
the treaty of Berlin.

CHAPTER %.


In the end of the Sabbath, as it be
gan to dawn toward the first day OF
the week, came Mary Magdalene ant
the other Mary to see the sepulchre
2. And. behold, there was a great
earthquake: for the angel of the LORD
descended from heaven, and came
and rolled hack the stone from the
door, and sat upon it,
8. His countenance was like light
ming, and his raiment white as snow
a. And for fear of him the keepers
did shake, and became as dead men.
s. And the angel answered and
said unto the women, Fear not ye:
for l know that we seek Jesus, which
was crucified.
6. He is not here: for he is risen,
as he said. Come, see the place where
the Lord lay.
7. And go quickly, and tell his dis
ciples that he is risen from the dead;
and, behold, he goeth before you into
Galilee; there shall We see him: 10, l
have told you.
8. And they departed quickly from
the sepulchre with fear and great joy;
and did run to bring his disciples
word.
8. And as they went to tell his
disciples. behold, Jesus met them,
saying, All hail. And they came and
held him by the feet, and worshipped
him.
10. Then said Jesus unto them, Be
not afraid: go tell my brethren that
they go into Galilee, and there shall
they see me.
II. Now when they were going,

SOME SENSE AND
SOME NONSENSE
= The Philanthropist.

Here is a story of small boy, a
mother, and barrel of apples, and a
moral which does not have to be told
in words:
The windows of an orphan asylum
overlooked the backyard of the house
where the boy, the barrel of apples,
and the boys mother lived. Now the
apples that were in the barrel disap-
peared at famous rate, and the
mother, being a knowing woman as a
matter of course, made inquiry of her
son. Yes, he had eaten the apples;
but, Mamma" he said, 81 have to;
the orphans want SO many cores.N

Schultz was a ''trusty,' working on
the prison farm, and rescued the in
FAINT daughter of Eugene Johnson, a
railroad switchman, from a burning
house several months ago. The baby's
mother was fatally injured in the fire
and Schultz was severely burned in
an effort to rescue her after he had
saved the little one.
The husband and father has been
untiring in his efforts to secure a
pardon for Schultz ever since and pre-
scented a petition bearing several hun
dred names asking for his release.

From the manner in which the
prices of foods tufts are advancing It
begins to appear that the people OF
the United States are likely to suffer
as much as those Of the countries
engaged in the European war. Greed
caused the war, and greed seems to
be behind the advance in prices OF
some of the articles of food. AS is
usually the case the consumer is tie
one who it hit. Some grocers right
here in Pine Bluff are asking more
for certain articles than the max;
mum war price fixed by the French
government.

Automobile Road Book,

The Maine Automobile road book for
1914 is just out and is the best automobile
guide Of the State ever issued.
The book contains over 100 routes in
detail, giving right and left turns, inter-
mediate mileage and all landmarks along
the way. These cover many routes of travel
never before charted. The book is illus
trated with scores of pictures, many spec
tally taken for thisedition. All the differ
ent points of interest over which the tours
pass, are described. Among the best feat
ures of the 1914 edition are three new maps
specially prepared for this book.
Owing to the great cost of the book this
year, and the fact that it is clothbound, it
will be necessary to make a small charge,
partially to cover the cost of preparation.
The book, however, will be given free to
members of the Maine association, to all
automobile associations, information
bureaus, newspapers, etc., upon request,
by addressing the Touring Information
Bureau, IL Monument square, Portland.

came very poor and sometimes for
Gays was compelled to go with little
or no food. On Aug. "a Mrs. Angel.
the woman from whom he rented a
room, knowing that during three DAYS
he had eaten nothing, invited him to
dinner He was offended at her ex-
pressions, which seemed to hint that
ne was in want and assured her that
ne was not hungry. Withdrawing into
MS garnet at nightfall on the same
day and quietly locking himself in
death came to him before daybreak on
