Live News From Roe
Roe, May 12, 1915.

Roe, May lZ, l9l5. The ARGUS:
 The weather is cool and the bugs and worms are having no mercy on our garden truck.
 Our little burg was represent ed by several of our citizens during the session of the Circuit Court at Clarendon as jurymen.
 MT. Ferguson has been putting some nice strawberries on the market here for the last two weeks, not enough, however, to supply the demand. Strong Fortune, one of our merchants is now running 8 supply boat on the river going down below St. Charles. His brother, Smith Fortune, is hold ing down the business here in their store.
 John Montgomery, our road overseer, is doing some good work on the roads. The most of them are in fine fix, especially for auto driving.
 Elder c. E. Gillespie, of Hazen, filled his appointment here Sat- urday night and Sunday. He had good audience. especially so on Sunday night at 8 o'clock. The preacher had occasion in one of his sermons to speak of the sin of indifference, he spoke of it's prevalence and it's enormi- ty. And when we come to think of it indifference and it's twin sister, ingratitude or ungrateful- ness are two of the most heart piercing sins or practices we poor mortals are guilty of har- boring. We claim that since we are all factors of the society of the community where we live we can't afford to be indifferent to anything that is for the veal or woe of the people who make the society of the community. And this is especially true of church members and church workers.

Always in the Making.

In one Of George Macdonald's books
occurs this fragment of conversation:
II wonder why God made me-" said
Mrs. Faber, bitterly. I'm sure don't
know what was the use of making
me"
Perhaps not much yet" replied
Dorothy; ''but then he hasn't done
with you yet. He is making you now.
and you don't like IT.
1t would give us more patience with
ourselves if we always remembered
this. We would not get SO discour-
aged with our infirmities, imperfec-
tions and failures If we always kept
in mind the fact that we are not yet
made. that we are only in process Of
being made. that God is not yet
through making US. s. Rev. J. r..

RETURNED RIGHT ANSWER
Night Watchman In Department Of
Justice Scored a Hit ION His
Own Judgment"

Not long ago brand new watchman
was appointed as night guard in tho
department of justice. He assumed
his duties, filed with the importance
Of his responsibilities. In instructiug
him an official said:
Nov, If anything unexpected hap
pens during the night just use your
own Judgment in dealing with the mat
ter"
That night, as the watchman sat at
the door, there came wire from some
official in California asking the depart
ment whether there was any law
against such a thing.
Now this was the time, so thought
the watchman, to "act on your own
judgment" He gave the boy q reply
which read: 81 don't know of any"
and the telegram was sent.
A high official learned of the matter
and placed it before the attorney gen.
eral That officer smiled at the answer
given and remarked: well, he's right
about It'll don't know any law against
it, either. W Washington Star.

As seeina the lnvIalhIe.

No great purpose has ever been
achieved by any individual until his
spirit has first gone out into some
wilderness solitude and there discov.
cred its native strength, it's absolute
invincibility when 1t relies upon no
help but that OF God. This is the
experience Of all the greatest among
men. They go apart from their fell
lows for awhile, like Moses. into the
land Of Midian. or like our Lord him
self into the wilderness. or like st.
Paul into the Arabian desert. and
there. in solitary communion with
God. from that highest of all compan-
ionships, they drink in strength to
fit them for the work of our lives.
Alone with God, they see visions
which I'LL their souls, visions which
never fade afterward even in the
light of common day. but which serve
as beacon lights to guide them.

Humble Maid Servant Expresses Ad-

Of staff Of the Army.

Gen. Leonard Wood, chief Of star
Of the United States army, has had
many expressions of admiration voiced
as to his personal appearance. 1t re-
mained, however, for humble maid
servant to apotheosize his looks.
A young girl-who, knowing the
general, worships him as her hero
always keeps a photograph Of him in.
uniform on her dressing table. One
day, entering her bedroom suddenly,
she chanced upon. her newly acquired
maid, who stood agape, with cleaning
eyes, holding the photograph in her
hand.
Startled into speech, the servant
asked:
whats he, miss?'
He's an officer, Norah." The young
mistress deemed that answer sufii-
cient.
Gee, miss" was the breathless com
ment as the maid put down the pic
ture lingeringly; "but amt he the
