No study of the book of Acts In complete unless the teacher Impresses upon bin pupils the opportunities for living the ChrlHtian life In the normal environment of the home or school, it work or play. Peep interest at taches to every detail leading up to Paul's visit to Koine. Therefore let the teacher trace Paul's Journey from Mileta to Jerusnlein. which occupied about four weeks, and took place in the early part of the year A. D. 57. 1. The Arrival (vv 17-20). The Spirit revealed to the disciples and to proph advised to get another man, as Nor wood was to be held as a witness in the case. While searching for Mrs. Clem mons the home of Mrs. Lane, at the corner of Second street and Chey enne avenue, was visited. Mrs. Lane made the following statement: "Hayes is about twenty-eight years of age. His mother left him at Crawford when he was about three years old. She left him with a woman by the name of Janet Blue. ; He was a full-blooded Choctaw In i dian. When be got to be a little old- er the women be was left with was too sporty and be was sent to the re form school at Kearney, where be stayed for sixteen years. He then went to work at Lincoln for a short time and back to school at Kearney. I saw him first with the Curtis fam ily at Alliance. He was a nice boy, bad no bad habits and we took a fancy to him. For the last nine years ; he bad made his borne with us. He ' was not married and never cared much for women." Mrs. Lane was ! deeply affected and Hayes had been known as her adopted son. Mrs. Lane stated further: "1 was on the stairs when the shooting was done, ! coming down from the dance. Mrs. Clemmons was walking with Hayes and appeared to be quarreling with FOPUUS AND SUCCESSFUL Omaha Man Who Transacted Ituwi net with ItatM'limeii la West ern Nebr. iiO Vmrs Ago Twenty years ago Kred A. Castle traveled western Nebraska doing business with ranchmen, merchants and other people who resided in this country at that time. In recent years be has made a great success of the hotel business, and is now the pop ular proprietor of Hotel Castle, Oma ha's newest hostelry and one of the largest in that city. On March 20 of last year Hotel Castle, having Just been completed, was opened to the public. With 1!0 guest rooms it was supposed to be large enough to meet all require ments for some years to come, but Its flro-proof construction, convenient location, comfortable and well furn ished rooms, and the popularity of the proprietor immediately tilled it with patrons and it was at once seen that more room was needed. Hotel Castle faces east on Six teenth street. The lots In the rear facing on Seventeenth street were purchased ;md soon work was under way on an addition that would dou ble the capacity. The new structure Is now being completed and will be ready for occupancy within a few days. It is also fire-proof and be comes a part of the first structure the same as if all had been built at one time, the entire building now having 300 rooms. It is dillicult to give an adequate description in a short newspaper story. One needs to visit the build ing to properly appreciate its com forts and conveniences, and ' the friendly and home-like atmosphere that prevails among employees and guests of Hotel Castle. When the new part is put into commission, as it will be this month, there will be two cafes besides coffee room, a lob by extending thru the entire building from Sixteenth street to Seventeenth a system of forced ventilation by which the air in the entire building will be changed every few minutes. Safety, sanitation, comfort, con venience and a cordial welcome awaits every one who puts up at Ho- jtel Castle when In Omaha. Mr. Cas- tie hss put out cards on which t lie following is printed: Welcome ShlpM-rs Hello, Hoys! Are you coming in, Down to this city of gospel and sin? 'Cause if you are. Just soi( e fun to see, Why. come right here and hang out with me. . For there's none more welcome In Castle's flat Than the men from the range with the Stetson bat. Come straight from the yards. Just as you get In, For the rsngemen's ronis have a place to swim. And this place, old Hoy, is fireproof through. And you won't get drowned by the fire crew. And there is a good place to eat and drink, And fine large chairs to sit and think 1 And any old place you want to go. i The street cars run right by the do. K. Joy J. Wedding of Carl Molisett Mr. Carl Lelans Modisett, of Alli ance, and Miss Willa Walineta Spier. ot Colorado Springs, were united in maiirage Fiiday, August 2.1. at the Indue of the otliciating minister, the Rev. Maurice Smith, of the Method ist Episcopal church of Colorado Springs. Mr. Modesitt is one of the owners of the Potash Products Com pany at liofriand, and has made a success of his busineHS ventures. Af ter a wedding trip to the principal places of interest in Colorado the young couple will make their home in Alliance. Lyon has purchased seven complete stocks of merchandise, only 2 of them bankrupt stock .but all purchased at 40 to 60 per cent on the dollar, and which have been sold in Gorodn. With this merchandise Mr. Lyons caters to mail order patrons and solicits their btisiues through personal letters and advertising matter mailed direct to them. He has a list of mail order cus tomers, which customers he circular izes regularly. He finds that this busineHS pays his People's Exchange and does not interfere materially witn the trade of other stores in Cor don, with which he works in entire accord and harmony. Omaha Trade Exhibit. BigDoings at Crawford eaaaaaaaaaaaaas anowBamMaBai Among the interesting things at the Tri-State Fair to be held in Crawford, Nebr., on the 20th, 21st and 22nd of this month is the finest herd of Angus cattle in the state. Also, the committee has secured the School Exhibit from the University Farm and this will doubtless create considerable interest. An exceptionally good race program has been arranged with some flnc horses entered and more coming all the time. Crawford has an ideal place for the holding of its fair, hav ing the City Park with a large swimming pool, lots of shade and plenty of seats. There are swings for the kiddies to play on and no one need be out in the hot sun. The association has built new building and the grounds have been greatly improv ed. The famous Savidge Carnival Company will be in Craw ford from the 19th to the 23rd and there will be something do ing every minute of every day. This is going to be the great est Tri-State Fair ever held in Northwest Nebraska and Craw ford wants everybody to come and bring all their family and friends and spend the entire three days. Senaltive Plant. Leaves of the manaca palm, prob ably the commonest forest plant In Central America, have a queer habit of trembling violently when no wind Is stirring that the human faculties ran detect, although, as no other ex planation exists. It Is reasonable to suppose there must be some tiny air currents moving to which the plant responds with extreme sensitiveness. Talent and Character. The difference between talent am! character Is adroitness to keep the old and trodden round, and power and tourage to make a new road to new tnd better goals. Character makes ar overpowering present: a cheerful, de termined hour, which fortifies ail the company, by making them see tha much is possible and excellent that was not thought of. Emerson.

The proprietor of this business is Hay O. Lyon, who for seven years was post master at Gordon. In the postoffice lie learned who the mailorder patrons are in Gordon and surrounding coun try, and the volume of business sent the mail order bouses through the postoffice alone. He says $4 9,000 was ent the mall order houses from Gor don In one year, and this buslnes be determined to try to hold in Gordon when he quit the postoffice. This Change In bis business came about 2 I years ago, when he opened the Peo- J pie's Exchange. Since that time Mr. If You Want YOU can get them by ad vertising in this paper. It reaches the best class of people in this community. Use this paper if you want some of their business. Use This Paper would be In great danger, and the Spirit was not forbidding but only teaching him for he knew Paul had a great work to do In Jerusalem, and that he only could do It. Everywhere Paul went he "searched for" (v. 7) disciples, with whom he tarried and whom he enlightened in the way of truth. Arriving in Jerusalem, he ap pears to have made his home with Mnnson. outside of the crowded city, thus being less exposed to danger and finding a place of rest. At a public reception (v. IS) Pnul reports of his work, and no doubt he laid his strong est emphasis on what God had wrought through Mm, among the churches of Asia. The lenders of the .Terusnlein church received the gifts Pnul brought from the Oentlle churches, glorified God for what he had accomplished, but saw clearly that, to accomplish his statesmanlike purpose, something must be done to make clear thnt the false reports as to Paul's teaching were discredited (vv. 20-22). They therefore resorted to diplomacy (vv. 23-20). To the many thousands of Jews gathered on this festival occnslon In the city, some of whom were real on s for the law. they declared first that Paul taught Hll the Jews which were among the Gentiles not to forsake Moses; second, thnt he bud not taught them not to wnlk after the customs of Moses. The facts were Paul obeyed the Jewish ceremonial laws person ally, n a matter of race, not as a condition of salvation. II. The Arrest (vv. 27-30). Paul's attempt at conciliation resulted not in KHce but In more discord. Every true servant of God Is sure to bo mis represented, nnd It will not do nlwuys to attempt to set straight nil the lies that lire told nlioiit hlrn. God will ttike enre of the lies and of our repu tations. Most of the charges that men. even Christians, Pring against one another are based upon "sup position" (v. 20). It was not a new experience for Paul to be mobbed. As the maddened Jews dragged him out of the temple he must have recalled the treatment of Stephen In which he, himself, bad bad n hanil (7:f7. f8). How frequent it Is that we, ourselves, are In due time treated in the same way In which we have treated others (Gal. 0:7). It wns the intention of the Jews to kill Pnul at once without a trial (20:0. 10). They fancied they were doing Gm1's service (John 10:2). This lesson is a striking example of the utter folly nod wickedness of mob law. Paul's time had not yet come, and all the nhs on enrth could not kill him until God permitted It. III. Tha Arraignment (vr. 37-40). Tidings of the riot came to" the chief captain, equivalent to our colonel (Acts 23:20). Paul was bound with two chains, one from each of bin arms to a soldier, secured, yet left free to walk with his guards, thus fulnllln? the prophecy of Agabus (v. 21). Mobs usually have great respct'for sol diers, for they are Inwardly cowardly. No sooner was Paul on the stairs which led to the top of the fortress than the mob. afraid that they vere about to he balked of their vengeance, made a mad rush at him. with cries of "Kill him; kill him!" and Paul., unable In his fettered condition to steady himself, was carried off bis feet and hurried off In the same path his Master bud trod (John 10:1.1) and he was Benin to hear that cry. (Ch. 22:22). Pining all this tumult Paul had but one thought, how he might witness for bis Master, and bring - of hi blinded accusers to a savin? -wledtre of Christ. Thus It was tb- i be asked for the privilege of speaking, and most courteously did he make his rtsjuest. He spoke to the captain In the Greek tongue, not In nebrew. and great was the surprise of the cnptnln. Practical Application. Wlui we are attacked, no matter for what ennse. If we confidently look for deliverance and exercise self-control, God will take enre of us. Such conduct Is disconcerting to our eii'-mleK. Diplomacy Is often dangerous and misunderstood. Circumstantial evidence is never of great value. There Is. however, a desirable form of diplomacy as when Paul addressed the soldiers In his native tongue. Paul's principle was In essentials, firmness; In non-essentials, liberty. in the mud and he reached out and pulled her back. I then saw Lucky step up and shoot Hayes." Mrs. Lane stated further that Mrs. Clemmons told her three days before that Lucky put hot cloths on her while she was sick and that he asked her (Mrs. Clemmons) to be bis friend and that be was Jealous of Hayes. On Tuesday Lucky bad stat ed to Charley Frazier, another col ored lad, that he "would burn him self a shine and catcb an armful of boxcars," meaning that he would kill a colored man and catch a freight out of town. Lucky had carried the revolver for two weeks and bad been making threats of doing harm to several people. Mrs. Clemmons was placed under arrest and held as a witness in the case. "Dusky," the Pullman car porter, was also held pending an in vestigation as to whether he might not be subject to prosecution for helping in an effort to get Mrs. Clemmons out of town. Previous to the finding of the woman, "Dusky"' had told the officers he was but slightly acquainted with Mrs. Clem mens, and promised if she was found on the train, on which he was run ning, that he would at once wire the authorities telling of her location. That she was at the time in bis room gives the officers good ground on which to base the conjecture that there was a concerted move on the part of a number of colored people to get the woman out of Alliance as s (;n as possible and that "Dusky" was well acquainted with the plana It at had been made to assist her in making a getaway. i:.-GO F.I5NOK OF KANSAS Though . Not a Democrat, . Declare Wilson Will Sweep Country From the Olathe (Kans. ) Register "I never was a democrat, but I think Woodrow Wilson wil sweep the country for re-election this fall," said ex-Governor St. J )lin to a reporter for the Register the other day. "1 am bising the assertion on th attitude of the people in western Ka sas." continued Mr. St. John. WhtU I was in that part of the state during y recent ninety days lour I took o easion to sound out wy different as diences on the candidates then loom ing most largely in the public eye. Successive references to Hughe. Roosevelt and Wilson always brot the most applause for Wilson. "Wil son's Mexican policy, for which be has been so taitt rly attacked, is, in my opinion, an element of strength. I am not capable of criticising the government's policy. The old plaa of trying two fighting torn cat's tails together, throwing them over a clothes line and letting them fight it out, seems to apply forcibly to the s:t uulion in Mexico. Dut Mexico Is no scrub as It was in 1847. It has four teen millions of people and an ad vanced civilization in many respects. To whip Mexico Into line, as some de mand, would be a Job, necessitating t least two years time, the expendi ture of billions of dollars and prob ably the. lives of 200,000 men. In addition, as an item of expense would be the format iuo of a great pension roll. "What would we gain by such a war? We don't want that territory The whole proposition is absurd. Taking it as a whole, we never have had a president more level-headed than Woodrow Wilson." Next! In the office of a broker in plays New York city this framed placard , hangs as a suggestion to authors that they must persevere: "Plays are not written; they are rewritten. -liouci-cault." Hoys' and Men's Choir For some time the question of a purely boys' and men's choir bus been under consideration by Dean Shaw at St. Matthew's church. Yesterday at a luncheon definite steps were taken and the Won-an's Guild has decided to furnish the nec essary amount of money for this purpose. The musical training of the choir will be under ttie personal direction of Miis Eunice Burnett, so well and favorably known in musical circles of Alliance. It Is hoped that the memberrbip of the choir will consist of about tweniy-four boys and fifteen men. Almost this number of men have al ready volunteered and the member ship in the choir will be opened to all boys who care to undertake the musical training. This means that the membersb'p will In no sense be confined to the boys who belong to St. Matthew's, but all boys will be welcomed.
