I always thought something might
happen.
isThen I forgot all about it" the
former senator continued. "The 9TH

had any money there and an official
told me that my old account of $10G

Sermon to Butler Council

Sunday morning Rev. G. WI M.
Taylor preached very earnest and
inspiring sermon to the members Of
Butler Council, Junior Order United
American Mechanics. There were
about thirty-five members present
and the closest attention was given
throughout the discourse to their fell
low member who spoke from the pull
pit. After welcoming this body. of
men to his church in very cordial
manner, Mr.. Taylor announced. that
his text would be found in Matt.
16 :18: Thou art Peter and Upon this
rock l will build my church." Peter
means crock" but there is no con-
nection between the name. of this dis
ciple and the great foundation upon
which Christ established his church.
Mr.. Taylor stated that it is folly for
any sect to claim that Peter holds the.
keys to heaven and that no one can
gain admission except as he shall
open the door. He said there is moth
ing in scripture to assure US that
Gods Kingdom is founded upon any
human agent.
Christ and his disciples were alone
at the time this incident occurred and
He asked some very searching ques-'
tions. After asking what men in gen..
eral thought of him, Christ put this
direct and very searching question
to His disciples, +" But whom say ye
that 1 am," and Peter answered,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God" Mr.. Taylor said we find
in this answer that which will enable
one to make good in the moral and
spiritual world, and if he does not
make good in that he will fail in all
else. Wher any other standard is ac-
cepted pitfalls and downfalls inevi-
tably come in the life of every man.
Men who are building only on ma
terial foundations will fail utterly. 1t
matters not what may be ones in
tellectual endowments, if wanting in
spiritual life, he will come to naught.
Mr.. Taylor emphasized the fact that
a mere ritual will not sustain a fra
ternal order, but that which has been
inspired in the hearts of its members
will give our country the highest type
of citizenship.
Mr.. Taylor emphasized the great
ness of Peter. Made great by his im-
plicit faith as indicated by his reply,
"the Son of the living Cod" He said
marvellous influence, happiness and
power accompanies such a confess,
sion. A willingness to confess Christ
and make clean breast will make
any man great. He said that it is al
together essential that we have faith,
in Christ and build our lives upon His
teachings. When we once possess
Him it is the greatest possession that
can be gained.
Mr.. Taylor's excellent sermon was
very effectively delivered and those
whose good fortune it was to be pres
ent were inspired by it to live upon
a higher, nobler plane.

BRooMs FROM PINE NEEDLES
Said to Be an Excellent Substitute for
the RristIes Now Used, and viii
Last Longer.

One of the latest discoveries is a
new use for pine needles. 1t has been
found that the needles of the pine
make a fair substitute for bristles il
brushes and brooms. They are found
il great quantities on the ground In
FIR forests, and, owing to the large
amount of silica in them, they are
hard and do not decay rapidly.
The pine needles are dealt with IN
TWO ways. Where they are long they
are simply punched together and tied
6tmly, and a stick is pushed down the
confer as a handle.
The other plan is to insert clusters
~ smaller needles in holes in a thick
s h piece of wood. These holes are
filed with hot pitch, and when this
n aterial has set hard and dry the pine
laedIes are held firmly in place.
Elaborate tests have shown that
p.ne nee Lies wear well. They are not
lore Cd@ broken than mIrh + the
material which has been cNL monty
used in Recommending, and, owing 70
tleir hardness, they can Withstand a
great deal of friction.

PENNA. MAY ALLOW
LESS TO CHARITIES
Board Recommends Half Sum
Requested.

Harrisburg, Jan. 31.-Heayy cuts are
be granted to public and private instl-
tutiOns receiving state aid, in the re
port of the board of commissioners OF
public charities, which will be submit
ted to the legislature tonight
The report shows that the total
amount asked for by all institutions
coming under the jurisdiction of the
board is $50, 1877, 821 for the next two
years.
The board, of which Judge Isaac
johnson, of Delaware county, is presi-
dent, and Bromley Wharton, of Phila-
delphia, general agent and secretary,
recommends that this be cut to $19,-
231,31S. The total amount allowed
these institutions two years ago was
$16,344,577.
In addition to the amount recon-
mended by the board, its committee on
lunacy is asking the legislature to ap-
propriate S5,OOO,O00 for the care and
treatment of the INDECENT insane for
the two years beginning June l. The
lsat legislature appropriated $780,
600. According to DR.. Frank Wood
bury, secretary of the committee on
lunacy, the state is caring for 2O,173
insane persons In state and county in
situations.
In making recommendations for cuts
in the amounts asked the board took
into consideration the lowering costs
of foods and materials and also antici-
pated that prices will be still lower
during the two years beginning June 1,
when appropriations become available.
Except for institutions exclusively
under the control of the state, the
board does not recommend the appro-
priation of any money for the erection
Of new buildings, nor does it make any
recommendations for aid t oany pri-
vate hospital that has not heretofore
received state appropriations. This
shuts out several newly-established
hospitals from receiving state aid In
the next two years, If the recommended
lions Of the board are followed by the
legislature and the governor.

Strengthen And Build Up Your Blood
With PeptO-MangaIL.

Men ana women who are on the
road to big success are not tagging
on the way. They are bright ana

Weak blood, thin and sluggish,
will never get you anywhere. You
would be surprised how many peo-

They never want to do anything
never get anywhere, all because their
blood is in bad condition.
The sensible thing to do is to
keep the blood pure and full of red
corpuscIes. Pepto-Mangan will do
that for you the way it has for mil
lions of men and women in the past
thirty years. Notice ne difference
after your blood gets plenty of req
corpuscles in it. See how you'll pop
out of bed early, refreshed and ready
to do big things.
But be sure you get the genuine

them. If not, ask for the liquid
Both have the same medicinal value.
