| should never have recognized this
the hardships of the years, the weari-
ness, the failures-they were written
like an epitaph upon his scrawny fig
ure, as il there had not been room for
this sorrowful script in the wrinkles
upon his brow. 1t was written all
over HMM the sag of his shoulders,
in his trembling knees, in his arms
sticking out from his body like the
picked wings of bird.
He had not risen in the conference,
as we say. He had always been sent
to the poorest circuits, where the la
Dor was hardest and the salary mea-
ger to the point of dried fruit for
quarterage. But for forty years when
his name was called the presiding
elder had always answered, Nothing
against him"
1t is long time to be good.
He read his report. He admitted
that he had not been successful this
year. One inferred that he never had
been-only faithful. He was able to
collect about fifty per cent of his as
sessments His salary had not been
paid in full He had held four re-
vivals, but had not received many
accessions to the church. Yes, he
had baptized quite a number OF in
fants.
That was all, but still he stood, like
La man collecting his feeble strength
or final effort
81 wish to take superannuate rela-
hons" he said-as simply as that.
He was done at last. He had gone
kown in the struggle. No more cir
hits. no more long journeys through
low and sleet to a church where
aybe not three persons came to hear
b preach that day. Never again
struggle to get his paltry assess
ts no more revivals with sinners
Eding the altar-and him, bending
We, teaching them the great secret
penitence and love. Henceforth he
uld be only an old preacher with
bthing more to suffer, and nothing
more todo 1t was awful to be so
bereaved of his Lords service.
He remained standing. He wished
to say something about those forty
years in the itinerancy.
But his bishop did not see him. He
called for the next report. Not
word of praise or sympathy for the
man who had just finished giving his
! life for the church
The world has had many Walter
Bliss. Our libraries do not contain
many of their biographies but they
have done a big part here and if the
future is what we believe it to be the
| time will come when they shall have
time and opportunity to review their
forty years service, and there will be
eulogies fittingly spoken, of their
faithfulness.

Here is a pointer from the Gordon
plantation, in Georgia, where one far
ner raised this year forty-two bales
Of cotton on seventeen acres. This
ract was planted in wheat last year,
and after it was cut it was planted to
peas. The farmer put eighty pounds OF
nitrate of soda on it to the acre and
raised this year fortytwo bales. The
successful farmer is not the one who
works himself, his wife and his teams
to death every year.-Lyons Progress.

ORIGIN OF PUNCHINELLO.
A Memory of the Days When Harpsr's
 Weekly Was a Power.

W66klV w aS a TO"ST'
 In the days when Harper's Weekly was at the height of its popularity and influence it commanded the services of the foremost Illustrators in America, including the cNrtOOnlSts. Every once in awhile a group of these artists would become dissatisfied with the Harper parental control and would leave to establish an independent illus trated paper.
 Having sQuandered their substance in riotous printing, these artists would come to themselves and return to the Harper home, where was bread enough and to spare. No fatted calf was killed on the return of such prodigals, but Henry Mills Alden, tie veteran editor of Harper's Monthly Magazine, assert cd that the house of Harper never held grudge against any contributor, whether artist or writer, who left to try other pastures. Such was the ori- gin and such was tue end of Punch lnello, a comic cartoon weekly which first appeared In New York city on April 2, 1870.
 In calling attention to the fact that the first number was dated the first day after All Fools day, Punchlnello remarked: This is cheering, since thus it is manifest that Punchinello leaves all the fools and testers behind and is therefore first in the race for the crown of comic laurel and the culver of satiric shafts" During its short life-less than a year-it was entitled to that honor.-Cartoons Maga- Einn

SEWARD REAPS A BIG BENEFIT
 FROM R. R

SEWARD, Oct. 10 - The Alas ka engineering commission is now employing a force of five hundred and twenty-five men and shty-four station men in the rejuVenation of the Alaska Northern railway, which was purchased by the government wAen tRe, selection of the route was announced by the president.
 The work consists of rebuilding the bridges, elimination of hign tresties with fills, improvement in the alignment and some slight re- ductiUn in the grades. There will be q smal reduction in the maxi mum grades on the Twelve Mile and Folty-fiYe Mile summits. Many of the fills have been widened and and considerable ballasting has ben done. Across Placer river in front of Spencer glacier tenn porUry trestles and fills have been made for a distance of over 5000 feet, which will be replaced next year by a permanent trestle raised ten feet above the present lev el O. the track. New shear and di- version dams are being constructed So cs 10 control the waters Of the river and to prevent washouts which have been an annual occurrence since the road was constructed.
 Seyenty-fiye thousand new ties have been laid, and it is contem- plated that before the work of reJu- venation is finally completed at Mile Seyeuty-one, over two hundred thousand ties will have been laid.
 A machine shop has been built at Seward to replace the one which was burned early last year, and all repairs are now being made in that shop.
 The road is now in operation to Mile Sixty-four from Seward, and . freight train is operated over the line every sunday and q passenger tlain ou Mondays, Wednesdays and | Saturdays. It is expected that He line will bo opened and in op- eration to Kern creek (Nhle Seventy one) tho end of the track, by Oc- to5cr Kern creek will be dis irritating. point for that part of the woyK On Turnagain arm, which will be donr from the Seward end, as vel. as for points along the arm' ana corsiderabld increase in traffic l is expected as soon as the line IS .om ylered to that pcint.
 The work is being prosecuted l lnG 4 the immediate supervision Of IR. J. Weir, engineer in charge MT | Weir has also charge of the new conutruction work along the Turn- Igaiu arm, between Kern and Gla- tier creek, a distance of four miles T''s is all expensive work, and II | is estimated that it will cost ap- p- ximately $25O,OOO. There are now several station gangs at work n tuis portion of the line. It is expected that it will be complet- sd by spring, when the work along
 Turnagam arm will be prosecutor a fast as funds and material will per nit.
 Altogether contracts have beer iet at Seward to station men aggre
