War sayings.

The great Napoleon is credit
ed with making these striking
sentences regarding war:
The sight is enough to inspire
princes with a love of peace and
a horror of war.
tits better to have an open
enemy than doubtful ally. My
greatest fault, perhaps. was not
having dethroned the king of
Prussia, when | could have done
so easily.
Intelligence has rights before
force. Force without intelli-
gence is nothing.
To father who loses his chill
dren has no charms. When the
heart speaks, glory is itself an
illusions.
Tents are unhealthy; tits much
better for the soldiers to bivouac
in the open air, for then he can
build a fire and sleep with warm
feet. Tents are only necessary
for general officers, who are OBJ
liged to read and consult their
maps.
The fate of war is to be exalt-
ed in the morning and low
enough at night. There is but
one step from triumph to ruin.
Indecision and anarchy in lead
ers lead to weakness and an
archy in results.
It is in times of difficulty that
great men and great nations dis
play all the energy of their char
acter, and become an object of
their character, and become an
object of admiration to posterity.

ness, their attention to the bust
ness of their souls was so great.
On the first Sabbath of Septem-
Der, the sacrament was admins
tered at Muddy River Zone of
my congregational At this
meeting t h e Lord graciously
poured forth his spirit, to the
awakening of many careless sim
ners. Through these two con-
gregations already mentioned,
and through Red River, my 9TH
er congregation, a wakening work
went On with power under every
sermon. The people seemed to
hear, as for eternity. In every
house, and almost in every COM
pany, the whole conversation
with people, was about the state
of their souls. About this time
the Rev. J. B. came here, and
found Mr.. R. to join him. In a
little time he involved our infant
churches in confusion, disputa-
ton. &c. opposed the doctrines
preached here; ridiculed t h e
whole work of the revival; form
ed considerable party, &c. &c.
In a few weeks this seemed to
have put final stop to the whole
work, and our infant congrega-
ton remained in a state of dead
ness and darkness from the fall,
through the winter, and until the
month of July, 1899, at the ad-
ministration of the sacrament at
Red River. rhis was very SOL
emn time throughout. On Mon
day the power of God seemed to
fill the congregation; the boldest,
daring sinners in the country
covered their faces and wept bit
terly. After the congregation
was dismissed, a large number
of people stayed about the doors,
unwilling to go away. Some of
the ministers proposed to me to
collect the people in the meeting
house again, and perform prayer
with them; accordingly we went
in, and joined in prayer and ex-
hortation. The mighty power of
God came amongst US like a
shower from the everlasting hills
Gods people were quickened
and comforted; yea, some Of
them were filled with JOY I'M
speakable, and full of glory.
Sinners were powerfully alarmed
and some precious souls were
brought to feel the pardoning
love of Jesus.

TO EXPAND MINING COURSE
Engineering School at State Unlve~
slty to Pay More Attention to
Ore Work In Future.

Plans to broaden the scope OF the
department of mining engineering in
the University of Kansas have been
finished, according to an announce
ment by Dean p. F. Walker of the
School of Engineering the other day.
An additional professor, Arthur c..
Terrill, from Columbia University, has
been added to the departments
faculty. Professor Terrill will have
charge of the courses in ore dressing
and mining. Heretofore the head Of
the department of mining engineering
has had only the rank of associate
professor, but with the coming of Mr..
Terrill the head will be a full pro-
fessor.
This step has been taken after the
decision of the board of administra-
tion several months ago that the work
in mining engineering had become SO
important that an enlargement of the
course was necessary said Dean
Walker. The lead and zinc indus.
tries of Kansas are of great impor-
tance and since the beginning of the
war the demand for both these pro-
ducts has greatly increased. We in
tend to turn out graduates from this
department who will be able 20 go
into these mines and apply the most
economical and modern methods to
the mining and refining of the ores"

striving to weigh accurately Mallow's
part in a scrimmage like this. The
copra grower assuredly would be the
last man to give cigar to a China
man. Mallow, rich, was Mallow dis
posed Of, at least logically; unless in
deed 1t was bit Of anticipatory re-
prisal. That might possibly be. A
drunken Mallow was capable Of much.
for all that his knowledge Of letters OF
credit might necessarily be primitive.
Yet Mallow was no fool. He would
scarcely take such risk for so un-
stable and chancely thing as revenge
of this order. Craig? He hadn't the
courage. Strong and muscular as he
was, he was the average type OF
gambler, courageous only when armed
with pack Of cards, sitting opposite
q fool and his money. But Craig and
Mallow together. He slipped
off the label. 1t was worth preserv-
ing.
With an unpleasant laugh he began
to get into his clothes. Why not? The
more he thought of 1t, the more he
was positive that the two had been be-
hind this assault. The belt would
have meant good deal to Craig.
There were a thousand Chinese in
Singapore who would cut a mans
throat for Straits dollar. Either Mai
low or Craig had seen him counting
the money on shipboard.
He looked at his watch; quarter
after two. If they were not in their
rooms he would have good grounds for
his suspicious. He stole along the gal
lery and down the stairs to the Office,
just in time to see the two enter, much
the worse for drink. Mallow was
boisterous, and Craig was sullen. The
former began to argue with the night
manager, who politely shook his head.
Mallow grew insistent, but the night
manager refused to break the rules
OF the hotel. Warrington inferred that
Mallow was demanding liquor, and his
inference was correct He moved q
little closer, still hidden behind the
potted palms.
"All right" cried Mallow. We'll go
back to town for 1t.
1--WE had enough" declared Craig
sullenly. Let's cut out booze and play
a little hand or two"
"Fine!" Mallow slapped his thigh
as he laughed. "Nice bird I'd be for
you to pluck. Think of something
else. The billiard hall is open."
Craig shook his head. When Mallow
was argumentative 1t was no time to
play billiards.
"Bah!" snarled Mallow. Since you
won't drink like a man nor play bill
liards, I'm for bed. And just as the
fun was beginning!"
Craig nudged him warningly. NAL
low stalked away, and Craig, realizing
that the night was done, followed.
Warrington had seen and heard
enough. He was tolerably sure. It
might have been out of pure deviltry,
so far as Mallow was concerned; but
Craig had Joined In hope of definite
profits A fine pair Of rogues!

ASKS FOR A FEDERAL PROBE
Governor Capper Wants Government
to Investigate Conditions in the
Kansas Coal Fields.

Joseph H. Holmes, chief of the bu-
reau of mines at Washington, has
been asked by Governor Capper to in
vestigate Immediately coal mining con-
ditions in southeastern Kansas. The
governor wired Chief holmes as fol-
lows:
Complaint has been made to me by
representatives of the coal miners of
southeastern Kansas that mining con.
ditions there are bad that the clos
ing down of mines has deprived more
than 1900 men of employment. The
situation is serious. will appreciate
1t If you or a representative of your
bureau will come Immediately and
make thorough investigation with a
view to determining if anything can
be done to relieve tie situation"
The miners out of work are becom-
ing restless. They asked the COVER
nor several days ago to make a thor
ough investigation. He decided that
both miners and operators, however,
would have more confidence in re-
port made by the federal bureau of
mines.
Some mines have closed down for
the summer, and the operators of 9th.
ers are getting oIt strip coal with

NEW WEATHER INFORMATION
Observation of Relative Humidity
Added To Service.

The relative humidity in the mid
die of the day will hereafter be in
cluded in the weather reports furn-
ished daily by the U. S. Weather Bur
eau to the newspapers. At present
observations of the relative humidity
are taken at o'clock in the morning
and 8 o'clock in the evening, but at
these times the temperature is likely
to be much lower and the relative
humidity much higher than in the mid
die of the day. An extra observation
of the relative humidity will therefore
be taken, probably at 2. p. m.
This additional information is ex-
pected to be not only of general in
terest to the public at large, but of
practical value in certain branches of
manufacturing. The humidity of the
atmosphere plays, for example, an i'm
portant part in cotton spinning, and
in many textile mills it is necessary
to increase it by artificial means. An
observation of the relative humidity
at p. m. will indicate much more ac-
curately actual working conditions
than figures obtained at the beginning
or end of the day.
