The Edge OF the World.

Hernandez crouched behind one OF
the huge earthen Jars. The light that
strcamod In at the caves mouth dark

In. AZ first Hernandez thought this
was the pirate chief-but that fierce
fighter was lying far across the pit
with a bullet through his head. The
figure cropt on farther-then Her
nandez saw.
II was llingtou, Ilington was un-
armed face was blood covered
lie was a figure fearful To behold.
Hernandez climbed the ladder In fear
ful haste, llington saw him and fol-
lowed. caught him. tore from him Her
nandez' ever ready knife, and faced
him squarely.
II swore To tear you apart with my
hands," cried llington beside himself
with rage. and I'm going to do IT,"
Two can play at that" painted Her
nandez, come on"
Ilington came on--reckless or the
fact that he was lighting ON the edge
OF a precipice.
Far to the rear Annette plucked
Meals wrist.
"L.ook--look." she cried, "Hernandez
and my father--and the Portuguese
has knife"
She was not the only watcher. Be
low on shore a fresh boatload OF ma
rines were landing. They had seen
the fight-they watched II now. Their
officer peered through his glasses.
"Our friend the Portuguese he
said. we've got to get him and take
him back. The world needs one Her
nandez less"
Even as he spoke, Hernandez struck
with his knife and ripped open Hing
tons arm.

scrambled up the cliff, Hernandez

$4,000 IN Gold.

The st. Louis Republic offers Prizes
To Stimulate Interest in Greatest
Self-Made American.
In one of the most unique contests
ever, the st. Louis Republic will give
away $4,000 in gold. The contest is
called "The Ben Franklin Quiz" AS
the name suggests, it is based upon
that greatest of all self-made Amer
leans, who arose to fame from such
humble surroundings.
Benjamin Franklin achieved fame
as scientist, statesman, philosopher
and writer His poor Richard AL
manack" once held pIace in American
homes second only to the Bible. It
is one of the worlds greatest volumes
and it instilled into the young nation
principles of liberty and right living.
Yet today it has fallen into disuse.
The Republic believes that Poor
Richards Almanack and Benjamin
should again occupy an important
place in American households, with
this end in view this contest has been
started. With patriotism and Ameri-
canism vibrating the air, all should
know more of Benjamin and his book
of Americanisms.
Beginning Saturday, May 81, each
day will appear in the Republic pic
lures drawn to represent the proverbs
of Poor Richard. Prizes will be
awarded to those fitting the proverb
to the picture, 1t is so simple anyone
can take part, yet it offers attractive
interesting and instructive pastime.
First Prize will be 1000, the sec
ond, $500, and the third $3.50. 146
other cash prizes aggregating $3.50.
Full details and four sample picto-
graphs will be sent upon receipt of
&c stamp to cover postage. Address,

THE BIBLE AND WAR.

Rev. S w. Hayne, in the second of
the series of sermons on Christianity
and the Worlds Crisis, Sunday even
ing, took for his subject, "The Bible
and War;. In searching the Old
Testament, especially in Proverbs
and the Psalms, the text abounds in
'admonitions for peace. War is
practiced and advocated, but the
blessings of peace are sung by poet
and taught by the prophet.
Turning to the New Testament
nowhere in Christ's teachings are to
be found any condemnation of war or
any encouragement for it. Upon the
subject Christ is silent. His life on
earth was for peace. Christ's attitude
was that of peace rather than the
sword. The disciple was reprimaud-
ed for striking off the ear of the
enemy with sword, but the Ce2tu-
rion was not condemned De ause of
his warlike calling.
Rev. Hayne concluded his address
with the opinion that for protection
of the weak and helpless and down
trodden Christianity is justified in
going to war. The next topic is
Christianity and Militariem.

The Chicago G. Alton Railroad in
Illinois has leased 100 miles of it's
right of way to farmers at the rate
of 5000 mile and the land is now
being planted in corn and other
grains. The leessees agree to keep
down the weeds, thus saving the
road considerable expense in this di-
rection which was incurred in former
years. The great increase in the
price of land and the advance in rem
tails causes a growing demand for
the railway right of way and a large
portion that is suitable for cult
walton has been leased.
