dian medicine man. We are per-
suaded by his accounts and those Of
David Brainerd that many Of these
men were possessed by demons, just
as spirituaIistic mediums have their
controls" Doctor Young visited the
man referred to and consented to eat
with him. In an instant there was a
CLEAN in the Indians eye and he
glanced at the medicine bag hanging
on his tent pole. Doctor Young knew
what the glance meant; the Indian
thought he would now be able to kill
him by some of the powerful poisons
in the medicine bag. Doctor Young
boldly charged him with this murder
Gus intent. The Indian covered I'M
der the rebuke, but that was all. Yet,
after some weeks, this same poor
creature was found clothed, in his
right mind and sitting at the feet of
Jesus. Surely we are not ashamed
Of Gospel Of power like this!
Third, this power is for everyone
who believes, Jew or Gentle. The
fact that all races and classes may
enter into the blessing suggest that
the Gospel originates with him who
is Lord of. all. The fact that it is
by faith makes it available to every
son Of man. Where is place for shame
with such Gospel as this!
What Is It to Believer
And now, dear reader, what is that
belief, that faith which brings us sal
walton? 1t does not mean mere belief
In a creed, or anything of that sort.
It Is rather trust in persOn-and
surely the Savior of sinners is alto
gether trustworthy. Venture, then,
upon him and salvation is yours, for
with the heart man believeth unto
righteousness and with the mouth
confession is made unto salvation"

HOME LIFE OF THE BASS.
My Dear Buck:

My Dear Buck:
You ask for little info on the
habits and home life of the black bass
and when and where to find him. The
bass, both large and small-mouthed,
Is roamer, lively, active hunter for
the best place to gorge himself on the
choice minnows, crawfish and helga-
mite, with dessert from the surface
Of the water of moths, flies and frogs.
He is great little traveller, and soon
becomes big chief of the waters in
which he lives. With such a varied
menu, you will find him ever ready for
fight, equally eager for fy-hook,
trolling-spoon, live bait or plug, right
on the job to put up struggle that
will test your skill. You can fish for
him night or day as he is 24-hour
feeder, but early morning and late
afternoon is the surest time to get him
right. He is an active rogue and
continually rising from the bottom to
the surface, at times jumping above
the water in pursuit of his feed. He
changes his home and feeding ground
as the season passes. In the spring
be is found in the shallow water in
the streams and rivers, below rapids
and rifles, as the water warns up he
moves to the deep pools lying along
side Of windfalls and logs, rocky
lodges and weedy spots. During the
hot summer he migrates to greater
depths where the water Is cool. Like
wise in the lakes, the bass are lat

A Costly Kitchen.

A pawnbroker would not advance
very much on the kitchen utensils of
even the wealthiest householders In
the United Kingdom; but should the
shah Of Persia desire to pledge his
kitchen requisites he might realize
half a million pounds. Every sauce
pan Of this monarch is gilded inside,
and the dishes which appear on the
table are Of solid gold, as well as the
spoons, knives and forks. The han
dies of the latter, moreover, are or
namented with costly stones, and
some are worth as much as f10O each.
In preparing lunch for the shah
none but silver spoons can be used,
and any covering used for keeping
cold meats must also be of silver.
His majesty has staff of over
thirty chefs, and altogether those en-
ployed In his kitchen number nearly

BELL HAD EARLY STRUGGLES
inventor of Telephone Experienced
Common Fate Of Pioneers in
His Early Manhood.

Next to the reaping machine, which
drove famine from the world, Amer
tca's greatest gift to modern civili-
cation has been the telephone. The
name of its inventor, DR.. Alexander
Graham Bell, will live down the ages
after all but two or three present-day
Americans have been forgotten.
Unlike most famous inventors, Doc
tor Bell did not spring from obscurity
and poverty. His father was scholar
and scientist Of note, and young Bell
received ripe education. But he did
not escape the common fate of inven-
tors and pioneers. His struggles with
poverty came in early manhood in
stead of in boyhood. And they were
struggles as trying and as protracted
as fall to the lot Of few men. At one
time, while fighting to establish his
ridiculed "tOy' as an article of genu-
Inc use, he was reduced to the ex-
tremity OF borrowing occasional half
dollars for a meal, sharing this lot
with his dynamic colleague, Theodore
N Vail.
The world first learned of the tele-
phone at the Centennial exposition at
Philadelphia in 1875. On January 20
of that year young college professor
of Salem, Mass, Alexander Graham
Bell, had executed specifications and
a claim for an invention embodying an
improvement in telegraphy, which III
reality was telephone, and on Febru-
airy IA his application for the Amer
lean patent was fled at Washington.
The first telephone message Of
which there is record was this: "Mr.
Watson, come here, I want you" It
was sent on March 10, 1876, by the in
ventor from the top floor of a Boston
boarding house to a colleague, Thomas
A. Watson, In a room below. Watson
heard every word and rushed to ap-
prise Bell of the fact. Almost 40 years
later. on January Is. 1915, Doctor Bell
sent this same message to Mr.. Wat
son, only this time Bell was in New
York and Watson in San Francisco.

East Wind Not So Bad.

especially an east wind have beer
