LARGE TIMBER TRACTS
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Adams County, Ohio, Is Visited BY
Forest Fires Which Did
Much Damage.

West Union, Ohio. - Considerable
timber was destroyed in Jefferson
township the past week by forest fires
which started from sparks from q
burning barn in the McJones farm,
near Wamsley.
1t is not known how the blaze orig
mated on the McJones place. Floyd
clones, a son Of the landlord, and
Charles Thoroman, tenant on the
place. had just walked through the
big barn, and happening to look back
after going short distance, were sur
prised to see flames bursting from
the building. The two men hurried
back and succeeded in getting a team
OF work horses out of the barn and to
place Of safety. They were unable
to get anything else out, as the
flames spread rapidly to every part of
the building.
Considerable feed was consumed
with the barn, and Mr.. Thoroman lost
practically all of his farm machinery
and tools. He had but recently moved
his family to the farm from the Sea-
man neighborhood.
The high wind carried blazing
pieces of light material from the burn
ing barn to points one mile away.

The twelfth chapter Of Romans from

engraven on all minds. 1t is full o
instruction, just such as we all need
The high standard OF Christian livint
here held up appeals to every man. 1
Is approved by all. But men say "wt
are not able to live that kind of life
and Is is true that without the enab
ling grace Of God men fall. In the
opening words Of the chapter the apos'
tie Paul who wrote the lesson, gives
the key to the situation when he says
II beseech" by the mercies Of God
that you present your bodies living
sacrifice, holy acceptable to God
which is your reasonable service And
be not conformed TO this world, but
be ye transformed by the renewing of
your mind that ye may prove what is
the good and acceptable and perfect
will of God. Paul here teaches that
the mind must be renewed by the
Transforming power of God. This
radical change must be wrought in
the heart by the Holy Spirit before
,,,a, dn or ,roya tba will nf Cod Wa
are eXhorted in this lesson to be free
from hypocrisy, abhor that which is
evil, cleave to that which is good. A
number Of duties are enjoined in our
intercourse with others in order to
perform which requires a changed
heart o, that men would understand
that before they can live the Christ
life they must have the Christ spirit.
There is no such thing as living
christian life till we have first been
made christians.
We are here exhorted to avoid con-
formity to the world, on the contrary
we are to be transformed. When this
is done the rest is comparatively easy.
Until this Is done your efforts at liv-
ing a real christian life will result in
failure.
The apostle appeals to men "by the
mercies Of God" that they seek this
transformation What are the mercies
Of God? They are the great provision
He has made through the death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ for the
salvation of the world. The wonderful
provisions having beer made at such
an enormous cost should appeal to
every man, and if he refuse to seek
and obtain this transformation, his
failure to live up to those precpts
is his own fault. The christian life is
an exemplification Of mans transfor-
med state. BY such life the world
Is convinced of sin and Of holiness,
and Christ is made manifest to the
world. One of the precepts is "love
your enemies, do good to them that
hate you, and pray for them that de-
;pitefully use you and persecute you"
'Avenge not yourselves Without. the
grace of God these
hings are impossible. We cannot be
christians without Christ. We cannot |

FINE TRIBUTE TO WASHINGTON
NapoIeon's EuIogy of the Worlds
Greatest Man Regarded as Worthy
of Eternal Preservation.

Approach Of the hundredth anniver-
sary of the death of Napoleon Bona
parte recalls the order of the day
which he issued in his capacity as
first consul, to the French army on
the occasion of the death of the first
President of the United States. The
document is as follows:
Soldiers Washington is dead
This great man fought against
tyranny. He consolidated the liberty
of his native land. His memory will
always be cherished by the French
people, as we'll as by all free men of
the two worlds, but more especially
by the soldiers of France, who, like
himself and the soldiers of America
in times past are fighting for equality
and Liberty. In recognition thereof,
the first consul orders that for ten
days all the standards and flags of
the troops Of the republic shall be
draped with Grape. (Signed) Bona
parte."
Not content with this, Bonaparte
insisted that an official eulogy of the
ilDold loI VI AIHeIlCd SuOulu Uo pro-
nounced, in the name of the republic,
in the Temple Of Mars, the name then
given to the chapel of the Palace of
the Invalides. The task was confided
to Marcellin de Fontane, the poet, who
was given six days to prepare it. De
Fontane accomplished his task to the
satisfaction of Bonaparte, and it is
generally agreed that his eulogy of
Washington ranks among his very
finest works.

INTEREST AROUSED AT LAST
Woman Visitor to Museum Finally
Found Something Which Elected
Her Admiration.

1t Is related that the director of q
cerain famous museum was once show
ing q distinguished woman some Of
the priceless treasures OF which he is
the custodian. For a long time, how
ever, it seemed that nothing interested
her very much. Then suddenly the H-
rector noticed a change in her; her
face lighted up and she leaned for
ward
What is 1t, MADAME" asked the d.
rector, gratified at this tardy sign Of
awakening appreciation. DO not hest
tate to ask if there is anything you
would like to know"
THAT is awfully good of you'll" ex-
claimed the woman. 81 wish you would
tell me what brand of polish you use,
on those iron ventilators that are set
into the floor. We have the same sort
of thing in my house but my servants
never get them to shine half so brill
liantly."

They are both teachers in the same
town, only he's much more Of the
"bluffing" order than she. Yet she
does like q spicy retort and she has
always longed to give one when he so
often says to her: "Now, whenever
you want anything from the school
board just let me know and I'll ask
them for it, because I've a pull with
them"
The other night they both happened
to be present when his petition for
more salary and hers for new Office
furniture came up. His request was
refused, while hers was granted. And
after the meeting instead Of Offering
the sympathy he expected she gave
the retort: After this, when you want
anything from the board-anythingl
like salary, or the like, you just tell
me and I'll ask them for you. You can
see from the way I got my furniturai

WISE MEN SAY

knowledge always beats force
Furious tempests die quickly.
"Live wires need no charging.
Too many broths spoil the cookery.
A burnt Spectator breads the hot
air.
Failure catches all who wait for
luck.
Truth and ambition are seldom part
ners.
When a fool gets angry he begins to
swear.
Nature is too busy to turn out hand
some men.
Words embalm ideas; actions give
them life.
One of the best things out is a de-
funct tooth.
Life rarely smiles upon those who
frOWn at her.
We hate to get called down-except
for breakfast
1t is better to fall out than it Is to
be kicked out.
Play is the work man does that
isn't compulsory.
And there's the rest cure; but don't
take it TOO often.
In the onion raisers' union there
should be strength.
Justice is just what the unjust are
anxious to avoid.
A coquette's heart looks like an
empty honeycomb.
Every man has right to keep his
opinions to himself.
Believe in others if you would have
others believe in you.
Fear is mans greatest enemy. Fear
only your own conscience.
A national bird is the eagle-with
the stork a close second.
Many are good because 1t requires
such ingenuity not to be.
"Getting busy" often takes a hard
fall out Of a fit Of the blues.
The less advice a man hands out
the more listeners he will have.
It is easy to find fault with the
good things possessed by others.
Sometimes you see a woman who
looks pretty when she is angry.
Many people seem to think that you
enjoy listening to tale Of woe.
We find fault not so much with
our sight as with our blindness.

he knows when not to get funny.
