is prevalent of

tune which be-
1 falls the Christian
in his daily life
when the real is
sue in which the
devil is interested
is where he be
leaguers the soul
Take away virtue
from purity and
what is left Take
away a mans rep
utation and what is his career worth
to him Take away courage from a
-soldier and of what avail is his dis
cipline Take away the faith once
committed and the devil will turn over
the premises to a legion of spirits to
Tevel and ravage in The trial of our
faith is much more to the point than
all else It may be lost through be
reavement or robbed in prosperity It
may be surrendered for a mess of pot
tage or on some poorer collateral It
may be stolen through weakness or
snatched with impunity All the worxd
may be offered in exchange for ones
soul Some people think that the scene
in Martin Luthers life was the imag
inary effect of his overwrought nervous
nature when he hurled his inkstand
at the devil But it was far more real
Because the soul of the great reformer
was in the throes of a fearful issue It
was the crisis of Protestantism in
Western Europe and that meant the
supreme moment of the worlds new
birth from medievalism The tempter
was seeking with audacity to rob Lu
ther of his loyalty and he Is on the
same quest to day Child of Jesus he
is seeking thy soul Rams Horn
Dollars and Sense
Money without sense is like a single
ox floundering with a double yoke and
-a double load we oftentimes under
value the patriotic philanthropic and
religious value of dollars They do not
go to war in the defense of our coun
try but they do furnish the sinews of
war
It is a powerful agency for good Its
ano rives are often misunderstood A
man may combine a desire for riches
Willi the very best of motives and the
most honorable means of acquiring the
varae He should not be so impatient
to get riches that he shall crush others
in the gelling It is not money that is
the root of ail evil but the love of mon
ey which is a root of many kinds of
-evil It makes a great difference
whether a man has money or money
has him
Gambling is among the unquestioned
evils and the indisputable follies of hu
man life Therefore young man have
ense enough not to risk so much as
xl despised nickel in a game of chance
The principle of gambling is all wrong
It is an attempt to get something for
nothing What you seem to gain to
lay you will more than lose to morrow

Prof Scheils Discovery
The announcement of Pere Scheil
the French assj riologist who has glr
eu so much time to study of the collec
tions in the museum at Consitantiinople
that he had discovered a Babylonian
-account of the deluge much older than
Moses was so interesting to the Bibli
cal student that we asked the discover
er for sn account of it He kindly con
sented and his account wall be of no
little interest
Every Biblical scholar knows that
-the Hebrew account of the deluge
found in Genesds has been paralleled
by two Babylonian accounts one that
-of Berosus a Babylonian historian
whose narrative has been handed down
to us by early Greek Christian writers
and the other that found on Assyrian
tablets by George Smith Poth
jlrto and yet both differ from the Gene-
-sis story Biblical critics have ddffered
-as to the age of the Biblical story the
more conservative holding that being
written by Moses it is older than his
time and was incorporated by him into
the Book of Genesis while the newer I
school of clitics were umtfi the discov
ery of the tablets in
clined to believe that the story was
borrowed from Nineveh or Babylon at
the time of the captivity or not long be
fore it at which time the Book of Gen
esis was written
The discovery by George Smith of a
full poetical account of the deluge on
tablets in King Assurbanipals library
tit Nineveh was of immense interest
Init it did not assure us of the age of
-the deluge story among the inhabitants
-of the Euphrates Valley for it was on I
tablets written in Assurbanipals reign
that is scarce GOO years before Christ
To be sure these were said to be cop
ied from tablets in Babylonian libra
ries but we did not know how old these
original tablets were Besides the del
uge story was on the eleventh tablet in
a long poem compiled in twelve books
one for each month in a quite aitificial
way and might belong to a compara i
late period of religious and
syncretism The original Baby
lonian tablets from which the Assyri
an copies were made were much de
slred
Now Pere Scheil has made the
covery To be sure the record on the
tablet does not amount to much It is
such a fragmentary bit but it is large
enough to make it -sure that the tablet
most fortunately rthe most important
part of all is preserved the colophon
with the date It is dated in the reign
of Ammi zaduga King of Babylon and
we know that he reigned about 2140
B C That is we have here a precious
bit of clay on which was written a
poetical story of the deluge seven cen
turies before Moses and about the time
of Isaac or Jacob That is enough to
make the discovery memorable We
learn positively that the story of the
deluge was familiar to the common
people of Babylonia and therefore of
all tiie East from Syria to Persia New

Charity in Judgment
Hasty judgment of the actions of oth
ers is dangerous and often unjust We
measure ioo much by some superficial
appearance and condemn hastily
when if we but knew and understood
the motives and reasons we would
warmly approve We sometimes bay
of some one That pain sorrow or
loss has not deeply affected him But
we do not know It is like the death of
a few of the soldiers in front of a regi
ment The broken ranks close up again
into the solid phalanx and the loss is
not apparent There may be no dis
organization no surrender no craving
for pity no display of despair It is
like the calm dazzling play of the
waves warmed by the mornings sun
after a night of storm and disaster
there is no sign of the wreck the tide
has carried the debris away far out
on the ocean the treacherous water
has swallowed all signs and tokens of
the nights awful work We see only
the fairness of the morning not the1
suffering of the night Let us be char j
itable in our judgment and condemn
not when we do not know William
George Jordan
Over Indulgence to Children
One of the greatest mistakes that pa
rents make is the over indulgence to
children Being too indulgent is a se
rious mistake and In time works in
jury The child who has his every
wish and whim gratified grows up self
willed and arrogant and overbearing
which at times is a source of trouble
to every one in the house He looks
upon his parents as menials loses that
respect love and obedience due the par-
ent and when he goes out in the world
to make his living he finds that thei
world can get along without him and
will not put up with his nonsense
This is where the Injury works He
then discovers but too late that his
training has been wrong Therefore
parents see that you rear your chil
dren that they may be a benefit to
themselves if to nobody else
Requirement
We live by faith but faith is not the slave
Of text and legend Bensons voice and
Gods
Natures and Dutys never are at odds
What asks our Father of his children
save
Justice and mercy and humility
A reasonable service of good deeds
Pure living tenderness to human needs
Reverence and trust and prayer for light
-to see
The Masters footprints in our daily
ways
No knotted scourge nor sacrificial knife
But the calm beauty of an ordered life
Whose very breathing is unworded praise
A life that stands as all true lives have
stood
Finn rooted in the faith that God is good

The Dead Line
In the ministry there is a great deal
of talk of men reaching the dead line
No man ever came to -that point unless
he chose to come to it A dead line
is not necessary in the ministry any
more than in any other profession amd
will never be approached if the mrhi
istei devotes himself as thoroughly to
his work as the lawyer the physician
and the merchant do to theirs Pres

LORDS PRAYER Br BOOTH
James ONeill Relates a Story of the
Eminent Tragedian
I think the most thrilling experience
I ever passed through was in New York
city one time when quite by accident
a number of foreign diplomats from
Washington a few American states
men some prominent New Yorkers and
one or two of us professionals were
gathered together in a smoking room
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel when some
body asked Booth who by the merest
chance happened to be there if he
would not repeat the Lords prayer for
the assemblage 1 was sitting not far
from the tragedian when he fixed his
eyes upon the man who made the re
quest I think that it was Lord
at that time British minister
to the United States and I shall never
forget the peculiarly searching expres
sion that Booth shot out of his dark
eyes They seemed to penetrate the
very soul of the man at whom they
were directed and then as if satisfied
resumed their wonted vacuous density
We were all breathless with anxiety
at least I was for seldom would he
ever recite off the stage but at length
lie arose walked to a little cleared
space at one end of the room and be
gan a recital that even after all these
years makes me thrill through and
through He said Our Father and
never before had those two words been
clothed with the majesty and reverence
with which his look and tone enveloped
them And then he carried us into ce
lestial regions our spirits seeming to
leave our bodies and to follow his be
hest lie lowered us into depths too dark
for Dantes genius to conceive or Dores
pen to portray the power exerted over
us was simply unnatural His musical
ly resonant tones sounded sloAvly
through the room and as he swayed his
lithe body Ave unconsciously followed
his motion It was something horrible
beautiful terrible fascinating I can
not find words in the language to ex
press it There are none
I would not go through the scene
again for a thousand worlds and yet
if I had the opportunity I would brave
any danger to hear it once more Do
you understand Those few score
words as delivered by Edwin Booth
were the most powerful argument for
Christianity that I ever heard and
could every being on the face of the
globe have heard them there would no
Jonger be atheism Booth strode out
of the room when he finished and a sim
ultaneous sigh of relief arose while
without a word we stole away singly
and on tiptoe and I do not believe that
any of us think of that thrilling even
ing without a shudder He was a great
man a great man KaDsas City

Treatment of the Alaskan Doff
The Alaskan dog is almost human in
intelligence He weighs about 100
pounds Heavily laden he will travel
sixty miles a day
With twenty dogs in a team no two of
them are in a straight line from the
driver When unhitched for the night
they pile upon the first blanket that is
thrown upon the snow and there they
stay When you crawl into your sleep
ing bag and pull a robe over it the dog
will get under the robe Unless you
are careful he will be inside of the bag
in the morning Their endurance is
phenomenal and they are capable of
strong affection are great fight
ers
A traveler who recently returned
from Alaska says of the treatment ac
corded these faithful animals
The whip that is used on them is the
cruelest thing of its kind that is known
to man Thirty feet in length and two
inches thick near the short handle it
has a lash ten feet long that cuts like
a knife The Russian knout isnt in it
When a dog is struck you hear a sharp
yelp and then your sleigh whirls past
a bit of fur or possibly a piece of
bloody skin lying on the snow St

A Writer Whom Boys Love
Jules Verne the French author who

adventure eats almost nothing but
eggs and herbs it is said He is now
nearly 70 years old and is in good
health living in Amiens France He
has written six books more than he is
years old He arises early in the morn

Strangely enough though he has writ
ten many books of travel Mr Verne
has not traveled much but has secured
his information from reading stories of
the travels of others
An Ostrichs Appetite
An ostrich will eat almost anything
It swallows oranges small turtles
fowls kittens and bones A South
African writer tells of one swallowing
a box of peaches tennis balls several
yards of fencing wire and half a dozen
cartridges One followed the workmen
and picked up the wire as they cut it
Most frequently the ostrich does not
swrallow each dainty separately but
collects several in its throat and then
swallows them all at once Sometimes
it is strangled Its windpipe is then
cut the obstacle taken out and the
wound sewed up when all goes well

Clothing made of corn husks attract

These costumes are so attractive
many of them that any girl might well
be proud to appear in one Dresses of
the daintiest designs imaginable and
with any number of delicate frills and
flounces were shown They proved so
effective that a new Industry has

Those who believe in Mr Riedels

reached They believe that enough
open places will be found on the jour
ney to enable the boat to go to tho

On the old Ritchie place which
abounds with relics of early days is an
old log springhouse built at the begin
ning of the century by John Ritchie
the inventor of the sour mash process
of making whisky says the Bardstown
Record A never failing stream of ice
cold water flows into this old house
forming a pool several feet deep Here
since John Ritchie left Lynns fort and
built himself an independent dwelling
it is alleged a giant bull frog has had
its home As the frog family is en
dowed with great longevity it is said
by those who ought to know that it is
reasonable to believe that the frog is
the same one which took up its resi
dence in the Ritchie springhouse in
pioneer times
What lends color to this theory is the
fact that there has never been but one
frog seen in the neighborhood of the
old spring and Mr Stephen Ritchie
now a man well advanced in years
states that this same frog or one very
similar to it had its home in the spring
when he was a child and that he has
often heard his grandmother term the
frog her rain sign The frog is said to
be of vast proportions with a thunder
ous voice that can be heard a great dis
tance It is very active and shows no
evidence of its century or more of
years

nent mugwumps and cuckoos who are
trying to make themselves believe that
Mr Bryan is a dead issue will do well
to take careful note of the manner in
which the people receive him every
where along the route of his present

that Mr Bryan received in New Or

warmth and enthusiasm Those Demo
