Placo.—There is no hint glv-n as to the place where Jesus w« nt to be tempted, but most authorities Incline to the northern pari of the wilderness of Judea, between Jerusalem and Jericho ni. the west, ond the Jordan and the up per part of the Head Hea on the cast. Tradition places It In Mount Quaranta nla. not far from J* rlcho. near the Jor dan. ft wa* named Quarantanla (which means a space of forty days) because Jesus W'as supposed to have pa* ed his forty days of fasting In one of Its caves Explanatory.—The Initiatory Battle and Testing V'. i. “The story of our Lord’s temptation, ns w'e have It recorded in de tail both In Rt. Mat Hr w and in Hr. Luke. Is almost certainly a fniKinfrv of auto biography. J do not mean, of course, written by our Lord, but It must bnv*» been related by him to his dl e pi s. There was no human witness."—Rev. A. (V A. Hall, Bishop of Vermont As the first Adam, the | end * f th • race, must be tempted and tested »t the b<g n nlng of iiIh career, so must the t-o • no Adam, the head of the r< d» erne I peonle of Hod. he tempted and tested at the be ginnlrvi of his work The first Adam failed, and changed Paradise Into a des ert: the second Adam gain'd the victory, and Is changing the desert Into Parad!nn. Home Introductory Questions. Klrst. What was the purpose of then* tempta tions? They proved that he was worthy to he the Messiah, as a battleship is test ed before it In sent to v/ar. (1) "Kor his own sake. He was a man and had a character to build, and temptation la es sential to character building. No man knows what Is In him how weak he Is or how strong—till he Is tried," Tempta tion vanquished Is strength, character, hope, perfection ~ Hoard man. He recede | to realize his work and that he was the Messiah, to conquer his doubts, and ga'n assurance. Hence Hatan’n question. "If thou be the Hon of Hod?" (2) Kor the sake of others. If Jesus would he the Havlour and helper of men, It v/as nrces sary that he should not only he expos'd to the same temptations as we are. hut that he should goIn the victory over them, atid by the same means will h are available to us. (Heh. 4: 15.) He con quered. not as the Hon of Hod. but ns man. else his victory would be no pledge that he could give us the victory. Sec ond. How can a holy being le tempted? Hlmply because every living being has ap petites. desires, avenu s of pleasure, them* right things. Jesus was tempted through the good that was In him. (Sec below on each temptation.) "The force of a temp tation depends not upon the sin lnv» lved In what is proposed, hut upon the ad vantage connected with It. And a right eous man. whose will never falters for a moment, may feel the attractiveness of the advantage more keenly than the weak man who succumbs: for the latter prob ably gave way before he recognized the whole of the attractiveness, or his na ture may he less capable of such recogni tion. In this way the sinlesHnes* rf Jesus augments hia capacity for sympathy: for in every case he felt the full force of tempt at Ion."—Prof. Albert Plummer. D. 1> '^Sympathy with the sinner In his trial does not depend on the experience of sin, hut on the experience of strength of the temptation to sin. which only the sinless can know In Its full Intensity. He who falls yields before the last strain."—West rot t on Heh. 2. IS. International Critical Commentary on Luke. Think In what form did the temptations come? They must have come from without, and not from within. Satan cculd not have come as Satan, as Apollyon to llunyan's Pil grim. with horrible form and sulphurous ami flaming breath; for he does not t m t u* in inat way. aim u»mi* w.i . in >*ri ' like ii* we art ." lie may have come a* an angel or light, or perhaps as s me travel, r or he suggested ill" temptation* to his mind, a.* "the wicked <>ms wills pcrlruiiy suggested many bins; In mlcs" to Ohrlslian In the Valley of the Shadow of Death.

Ilrrfila Known In Karops UiourauiIs of Yran It. C. In the Homan period not only were right bounds and scent hounds fully differentiated, but there were also va rious kinds of lap dogs and house dogs, although none quite like our modern breeds .says Knowledge. Even as far bark as about 3000 B. C.. Egyptian frescoes show not only greyhound-like breeds, but one with drooping ears like a hound, and a third, which has been compared to the modern turnspit; while house dogs and lap dogs came in soon afterward. Whether any of these are the direct ancestors of modern breeds or whether all such have been pro duced by subsequent crossing Is a very difficult question to answer, more es pecially when we recollect that if an ancient Egyptian artist had to draw the portrait of a modern dog It would he very doubtful whether It would be recognized by the master or mistresH. liut the record of the antiquity of do mesticated dogs does not even stop with earliest, known Egyptian monuments. Not only were such breeds known m Europe during the Iron and bronze agi's but also during the antecedent neolith ic or polished stone period. These have been described by I’rofs. Rutl meyer and Woldrleh, anil those who are acquainted with the difficulty of distinguishing between some of 'lie living species by their skulls alone will understand the laborious nature of the task. Ktlll these authorities appear to have made out that the Swiss neo lithic dog (Cants palustrls) had cer tain cranial resemblances to both hounds and spaniels and thus Indicated an advanced tvno. which is considered to have liPen derived from neither wolves nor Jackals, but from some spe cies now extinct. Two other breeds have also been recognized from the superficial deposits of the continent: and if, as Is very likely to be the case, any or all of these races are the fore runners of some of the modern breads, It will readily be understood how com plex is the origin of the mixed group which we now call canls famlllaris. THE WHITE LIE. Truly, fliu Tougun I* Often "full of Oemlly ruin on." Although the law takes cognizant; of a direct slander, and the culp'it may he, and in any Instances is, brought to account, there seems to be no redress, for "the lie which Is half a truth, Is ever the hardest to fight,’’ and which docs vastly more mischief than the direct falsehood, which may be met and conquered, gays the New York Tribune. The hardest part of such injurious gossip Is, that the talc, or Insinuation, or whatever it may be, emanates generally from among the victim's own familiar friends; some one who often has no realization of the harm she—for, alack, it Is often a woman—haa done, but not Infrequent ly also rather enjoys the situation. In every community there exists one or more of these born mischief-makers, who are the stormy petrels of society, as It were, and who seems always to he the harbingers of some trouble wherever they go. ‘‘Whenever I see Mrs. X-,” said one of her acquaint ances, "I know that she will have something to say that will leave me with a disagreeable impression, which affects my opinion, and, rather, per haps, my liking for some one else; for although I know that whatever she says may be taken with a grain of salt, still she generally has something to start on, and one never knows just where the line between truth and—to I'1*1 •«' 1 i u'.iuu in drawn.” Such people are the curse of society. They breed trouble wherever they go, and yet they can rarely pc held to account, because there is g^n • erally a minimum of truth in their as sertions, but they so twist and con tort the simplest remark, or put such it construction on some thoughtless but Innocent act, that they seem absolutely different from what was originally in tended. Truly, "tlic tongue no man can tame, as it is an unruly member, full of deadly poison,” when belonging to a social mischief maker, I'tuklluc Troblrm.

A Qnmllim that Has Mini Mi rli DIm-umIoii Finally .Imllclally l>e«ernilne«l Mania I f Cfiin|mny iif*i|u ireil to Return Faro Collected and l'ay ('oat* and Attorney j Foe*. _ Stockmen Can Have I'aaaea. The contention between the stock men and the railroad companies re garding the issuance of return passes to shippers of stock has reached tho courts, says the Omaha Bee. In a test case decided at Wichita, Kan., Judge Dale ruled in favor of tho stockman who brougMi suit against .ho Santa Fe for having refused him a return pass. Th • decision gives to him Judgmen t against the railroad company for the return railroad fare, costs and attorney's fees. While the situation In Kansas is j somewhat different from that In thlc j suite, it Is believed that the vtrdict I in favor of tlie stockman in Kansas may provoke similar suits against railroad companies In Nebraska. In both states the railroad companies have refused to give stockmen return passes for any less shipment thnii two cars. In Kansas the stockmrn secured tho passage of a bill by the last ses sion i f the legislature ordering the railroads to give return passes to stockmen on the shipment of one ear of stock. This the railroad compa nies have refused to do botli in Kan sas and Nebraska. Freight officials of Nebraska rail roads expressed the belief that the de cision of Judge Dale against the rail road would be overruled in a superior court. They assert that any decision compelling the railroads to give a re turn pass for the shipment of out! ear i a tm rn . Mii'ililn an/I nnf ir to the companies, and will he stoutly resist'd. There is no doubt but. that the finest Ion at Issue will be fought out in the higher courts. A recent conference of general managers of western railroads held In St. Ir uts disclosed the fact (hat the pass <>riv ilego accorded to stockmen «.vas being enormously abused by both the rail roads and the stockmen. The Ne braka railroads are said to he as bad as the Kansas railroads In making ti e of th<! return stock shippers’ priv ilege for extending the favor to those not entitled to it.. A railroad man recently said to the lice that it was no unusual thing to find men wearing high hats and khl gloves riding on Nebraska trains on stock passes. He thought it might he passible tha’ they were stock shippers returning to their homes, but he rather doubted It. The announcement that the rail roads had concluded to abate the abuse arising from the return stock shippers’ passes by cutting down the passes of this character has led to a protest from the stockmen. The test ease at Wichita is the (result of the controversy over the refusal of the company to grant a genuine stock shipper a return pass, and the first round lias been won by the stockman. Tin* Creamery QuMtlon. One matter that was discussed dur ing the session of the State Dairy men’s association and on which th( re was much difference of opinion was that of the establisnment of sr para tor stations, with a central creamery to handle the combined product. The operators of the old style Creameries are firm in the belief that the inost successful factory is the one that is surrnunde 1 by a good territory where the cream can be gathered from the farms and hauled to tnc factory and there made Into butter. They hold that the establishment of the cream ery in the neighborhood gives the farmers more confidence In it and they are more willing and anxious to provide the necessary milch cows and sell their cream to the gatherers. They look upon it more as a home Institution. On the other hand the ItlV'it ,ura ui iur «uw» njoicm argue that by having a separa'or sta tion In each town or village Oey are enabled to handle the territory in a more convenient way, have the sta tions closer to the patrons and that the butter product turned out is fresher and better than when made from new milk hauled in every day than it pc.sslbly can bo where the cream is kiptfor several days and then hauled to the creamery.

A Circular by tlie Secretary of tin* Hoard of Irrigation. The secretary of the board of Irri gation has issued a circular letter, which he is sending to every irriga tion ditch owner In the state and also to a largo number of those who are using water from these pitches, about SUO copies of the letter having been tent out. He says that in some parts of Nebraska there is great lack of in formation as to the importance and extent of the irrigation work, and in tome localities prejudices exist. For this reason the irrigation interests are prevented from receiving proper at tention by the legislature, and he thinks the only way this can be over come is to spread before the people through the newspapers correct and timely knowledge of the progress and extent of irrigation. He calls attention to the fact that some of the newspa pers of the state are muc.» Interested in the irrigation question and will cheerfully give the desired information to the public. Accompanying each let ter is a postal card with blanks to fill out and mailed back to the board. The questions asked are: “What is the number of miles of completed ditch? What is the number of acres suscep tible of irrigation from your ditch? What Is the number of acres actually • riigatod in 1897? What, is the cost tf works to dale?" The persons to vhom the letters are sent are asked to an swer ns soon as possible In order that nil the reports will be in early in January, and tire told that by attend ing to the matter promptly they will liclp the cause of irrigation. II t'lirlnt; o V. tnd <'*•»«*. T.ast week Judge Kinkaid held n term of court in chambers at this place, says an Alliance dispatch, to hear an equity case which involved the rights of every person living and owning land in township No. 24, range No. 27, near this place. A man named Duhan, through ex-Countv Surveyor Hazard, located and squatted upon a tract of land belonging to the Kara Cattle company, claiming error in the description of the land an claimed l»y the Kara company. The tract is a piece of hay land and has been deeded for nearly ten years and was Inclosed with a fence. Kvery quarter notion of land in the town ship has been settled upon and lo cated from regular government cor ners in said township and no dispute ever arose until Hazard run In a lino and built his own corners (admit ting on the witness stand that he did so) and located this man Duhan. The court took the case under advise meni. After tfi«* Hullro•«(*. A complaint has been filed wi h the state board of transportation by the commissioners of I’awnee county, in which they ask for an order to com pel the Kansas City & Northwestern Railway company to provide and open out a safe highway along the track of that line on the section line be tween sections 16 and 17, In town ship 2, range &, west. The railroad is built on and crosses the original highway in such a manner as to ten der It unsafe for public use. The citizens of Shubert, Richardson county, have also complained to the boord and ask that the Burlington give that town better passenger train service. A During Robbery* Nebraska City dispatch: At an early hour Sunday morning two men with faces blacked entered a house in the burnt district kept by Sadie Jenning3, and at the muzzles of pistols com pelled three of the Inmates to no'd up their hands, after which they were hound hands and feet. The landlady was compelled to give up $64. after which the men went to another room, where a man was sleeping, and ho was compelled to give up $265. Tiir, men went out, a wagon came for them and they disappeared. It was one c f the most daring robberies ever per petrated in the city, and there is nj clue to the thieves. Tl»«» Moore Cane.

The Heorganiretl Hoad. OMAHA, Dec. 30.—No new develop ments In the matter of the Union I’a clhc organization has developed here, hut the period of transition is believed to he close at hand. The date of the inauguration of the new president has not been announced, but In Chicago it Is said by persons supposed to know that the change will take place on January 1, 1898, which falls on Satur day of this week. This seems to Do substantiated by a report t..ai a meet ing of the new directory of the Union Pacific will lie held in New York city on Friday morning, and that further announcements regarding the new officers may tie expected after the ad journment of that meeting. With the actual reorganization close at hand there appears two subjects of considerable interest that are now agi tating several classes of railway and kindred companies. Far more inter esting thnn the gossip concerning ex pected changes In the official makeup of the company is that regarding the probable contracts with sleeping car and express companies to tie made by the reorganized Union Pacific railroad. It is aeepted that new contracts will have to tie made anil the question that is being discussed by railroaders and other companies Is what companies will get these contracts. While the familiar statement that the reorganized Union Pacific railroad will he a Vanderbilt line seems to be dissipated by the personnel of the directory. It Is nevertheless conceded liv most, railroaders that the Vander bilt Influence will be strongly felt in the reorganized road. This ie ing true, the question of whether the Vander bilt Influence wl.. lie strong enough to force a contract with its own sleep ijik « » inn jmuy , »v ii» , 11*1 ' ur company, superseding the contract of the Pullman Car company, which is not represented on the new directory, is a matter of some concern. The of ficials of the Wagner Car company have been watching the reorganization of the Union Pacific, and there are those who look for nothing hut Wug gner sleeping cars to be operated by the Union Pacific, as now on all other Vanderbilt lines, within a year from the reorganization. At present both Wagner and Pullman cars are operat ed on the Union Pacific’s main line from Council Bluffs to Ogden. Al though the Union Pacific’s contract is with the Pullman Palace Car com pany, the through cars that leave Chi cago over the Northwestern are all Wagner cars and are sent over the Union Pacific and the Central Pacific to the coast. In a similar manner the express contract of the road that Is now going through the process of reorganization is attracting a great deal of attention. At present the Pacific Express com pany enjoys a monopoly on all ex press matter handled on the Union Pacific lines. On the Northwestern and other Vanderbilt lines the Amer ican Express company enjoys the ex clusive right to carry on business. It is believed by many railroaders who are in a position to command respect for their statements that the Ameri can Express company will disnlacc the Pacific Express company on the Union Pacific within the eventful railroad year that is about to begin. Hostility to Americans. NEW YORK, Dec. 30.—A special to the Journal and Advertiser from New Haven. Conn., savs: Captain George L. Kelsey, of the schooner Wallace Ward, which has Just arrived here from Barcelona, Spain, insists that the American consul at. that port fears mob violence and is unable to keep the American Hag flying from Uncle Sam's vessels. He put into port there September 16. remaining three days. At first the Stars and Stripes floated proudly from the masthead, but the Spanish loiterers were attracted by it and gathered by the side of the ves sel, threatening violence The Amerl ton i'uumii iieitrti a rumor trial in*1 crowd proponed burning the vessel, and he sent word to Captain Kelsev to haul down the flag. Captain Kelsev defied the Spaniards’, hut the next day the consul repeated his advice and Captain Kelpey was reluctantly persuaded to store the Stars and Strlnes below decks during the re mainder of his Btny. \lic**r it V«*ry Mr It Mutt CHICAGO.
