CHAPTER v.
In Which the Character of BIN keIso
Flashes Out in Strange Adventure
That Begins the Weaving of Long
Thread of Romance.

Thread of Romance.
The shell of the cabin was finished
that day. It's puncheon floor was in
place but it's upper floor was to be
laid when the boards were ready. It's
two doors were yet to- be made and
made fast, it's walls to be chinked with
clay mortar Samson and Harry
stayed that evening after the rest
were gone, smoothing the puncheon
floor. They made few nails at the
forge after supper and went over to
Abe's store about nine. Two Of the
Clary's Grove gang who had tarried
in the village sat in the gloom Of its
little veranda apparently asleep. Doc
tor Allen, Jack Kelso, Alexander Fer
guson and Martin Waddell were sit
ting by it's fireside while Abe sat on
the counter with his legs hanging off.
"Tm sorry we had to have trouble"
Samson remarked. "It's the only spot
on the day. I'll never forget the kind
ness of the people of New Salem"
"The raising bee is a most signifi-
cant thing" said KelsO. Democracy
tends to universal friendship-each
works for the crowd and the crowd for
each, and there are no favorites. Ev-
cry community is like the thousand
friends of Thebes. Most of it's units
stand together for the common good
for justice, law and honor. The

Railroads are to pick them up and
weave them into one great fabric. By
and by we shall see the ten million
friends of America standing together
as did the thousand friends Of
ThebeS."
"It's a great thought" said Abe.
"No man can estimate the size Of
that mighty phalanx Of friendship all
trained in one school," Kelso went on.
"Two years ago the Encyclopedia Bri-
tannica figured that the population Of
the United States in 1905 would be
16S,OO0,0O0 people, and in 1866, 672,-
100000. Wealth, power, science, lit
erature, all follow in the train of light
and numbers. The causes which moved
the sceptre of civilization from the
Euphrates to western Europe will car
ry. it from the latter to the new world"
",rhey say that electricity and the
development of the steam engine are
going to make all men think alike"
said Abe. IF that's so democracy and
liberty will spread over the earth. I
reckon we are near the greatest years
in history. 1t is a privilege to be
alive"
"And young" Doctor Allen added.
young! What a Gods blessed
thing is that!" said Kelso. "Abe,
have We learned The Cotter's Saturday
Night?"
"Not yet. It's a heavy hog to hold,
but I'll get a grip on an ear and a
hind leg and lift it out O. the pen be-
fore long. You see."
@Don't fail to do that. It will be a
help and JOY to ye."
"Old Kirkham Is a hard master"
said Abe. "I hear his bell ringing ev-

nigh through with him. Now want
to study rhetoric"

JUDGMENT

Mine are no envious thoughts of those
Whose rank or wealth exceeds my
A king will topple from a throne,
And wealth is transient as a rose.
Not lasting good in rank or gain
Save where they prove the instru-
ment
Of higher things the Maker meant
That we His creatures should attain.
When we at the dread Judgment Seat
In fear and trembling shall appear,
Shall sordid things we garner here
The Godhead's strict requirements
meet?
No! we must answer-every one
For every talent God has given,
What each one has awaited to
Heaven,
Not what the mundane power they've
won.
And greed's fine sophistries are vain
With Him the Searcher of the
heart;
No judgment won by legal art
At this Tribunal it will gain.
Reflect you who the poor exploit!
List as the half-fed children plead
For the full sustenance they need
To tread the worlds rought paths
Alright.
/ Of more intrinsic worth than gold
The consciousness of duty done,
And trophies Of triumph won,
For you that consciousness will hold.

Will Try Hubam in Delaware

Three samples of annual white
blooming sweet clover have been Sc
cured from the Iowa Experiment Sta
ton and will be distributed in the
three counties of Delaware. This
clover, now allied Hubam Clover, was
discovered by Prof. Hughes of the
Iowa Experiment Station In 1916, and
it has since been found growing wild
in Alabama. If this clover proves as
successful in Delaware as it has in
Iowa it will mean the addition Of an
other very useful and quick growing
legume to the farmers of our State.
This clover when seeded in the
spring will make growth Of four to
six feet in about four months time,
whereas ordinary red clover will make
a growth of five inches, and the bien-
NAL white clover, growth Of about
fourteen inches. In other words, a
crop Of seed or crop of hay can be
produced the first year from seeding,
which is not true of any other clover
in this class.
In view Of the fact that this clover
is very fine soil improver, it should
be used very generally for blowing
down and as cover crop. These de-
monstration tests will be followed up
this year and at the end of the sea-
son we hope to make report of the
growth Of this crop in Delaware and
whether it can be recommended for
more general distribution. - Farm

TO EXONERATE
DR.. McE.LMOYLE
General Assembly Will Clear
Marrying Parson" on
Technically

Winona Lake, Ind, May 25.-The
Rev. John McElmoyle, Maryland's
marrying" pastor, will be exonerated
of the charges of conducting
"Gretna Green" in his parsonage at
Elkton, and other charges that have
been pending, it was forecast here to-
day.
DR.. McElmoyle was "invited" to re-
sign from his pulpit at Elkton several
years ago following a protest that he
was Unfortunately marrying "all
corners" from neighboring states and
also on other charges preferred to the
Presbytery Of New Castle, Del, by
men in his congregation opposed to his
church administration.
Information among members Of
the Presbyterian General Assembly,
whose judicial committee has re-
viewed the case here, is that he will
be cleared on technicality.
The court will hold, 1T is said, that
he was not given sufficient notice to
leave after Presbytery "suggested'
that he resign as pastor at Elkton.
The court, it is believed, will also
hold that the charges against him are
insufficient, inasmuch as majority
of his congregation stood by him in
subsequent clashes.
DR.. McElmoyle is still preaching at
Elkton, he having retained his pas
torate pending an appeal.
The decision of the court will be
given to the Assembly today after
which it will be up to 1000 commits
sioners attending the church meeting
to approve or disapprove the findings
of the supreme court of Presbyter-
ianism.-From Evening Journal.
