Thu scone of today's lesson Is Sntnn
tla, mill tlio cunt w In .Jacob's well on a
piece of ground which Jacob bought of
flhechem, son of llunior, whlcli after
ward became the Inheritance of Jo
eph, whore also tlie body of Joseph
wns burled, (Josh, xxlv, .12; (Jen. xsxlll,
19). Wo am always taught In connec
tion with this lesson to think of Ja
cob's well, but I was recently remind
ed by a missionary homo on furlough
thnt there must be sASue reason for
mcntlonhiK the parcel of ground be
longing to Joseph. Two thoughts are
suggested: Joseph was u fniltful
bough by u well whose branches run
ver the wall, and here Is the true Jo
seph reaehlng over the Jewish wall to
the Samaritans and bearing much
frnlt (Clen. xllx, iftMM).
The topic in last week's lesson was
the necessity of the new birth and tho
carolling truth that even the most re
ligious must be born again. Here we
buvc the blessed assurance that tho
greatest sinner may be born again and
greatly used to win others to Christ.
The heart of the lesson Is the Lord
Jesus Himself and His seven s.iyings to
the woman In verses 7. 10, i:M4, 1(1, 17
18, 21-iM, 2(1. Weary and thirsty, wo
eee In Him one who can truly sympa-
( verses 80-42). '
Let all womemconslder this womniu
nnd also that the tlrnt messenger after
His resurrection was Mnry Magdalene,
and let no one hesitate to witness for
Him becnuse of what men may say.
Let all consider thnt the disciples linn
Juat been In that city, but, ns far ns wt
know, uttered not n word about tho
Christ whom they had left sitting by
the well, for they went to the city to
buy meat (verse 8). la your ilrst

' PEABODY RESTS HIS CASE.
Will Ask Committee to Kecommcnd
That He Be Seated.
Denver, Feb. 1. With the testimony
ot Chairman Fred A. Williams of tho
Republican city committee given he
fore the legislative gubernatorial con
test committee, attorneys tor former
Governor Penbody rested their case
and today Governor Adams will begin
slvlne evidence in hie own benau.
From a statement by Williams on the
stand, in response to n question by
Attorney Ward, who has conducted
the examination for Governor Pea
body, it is inferred that the latter wi',1
ask the committee to throw out tho
entire vote in 109 Denver precincts,
counting only tho ballots cast In the
remaining ninety-five precincts. Ac
cording to Chairman Williams state
ment, this would give Peabody a plu
rality of 6.410 in Denver. Deducting
Adams' plurality of 5,073 outside of
Denver, Peabody would have a totnt
of 7S3 more votes than Adams. Whllo
not authoritatively stated, it is gen
vanized hero at a mooting ot leading
Irlsh-Arr.erlcnns from various parts
ot the ?'ate. The movement, wh.ch
is 'o bo a nntional one, has for Its
olk'ct the dprcat of the pending atbl
ra'lou trta'y between tho United
States and Great llritaln.

Compare chapter xlx. 11. Ills first re
quest of the woman. "Give me to
drink," reminds us of one of His seven
words from the cross. "I thirst" (xlx,
28). He was literally weary, hungry
nnd thirsty as He sal thus by the well,
yet lie was refreshed without actual
food or drink (verses J12, '14).
His chief hunger and thirst was and
la for the souls of sinners. Have you
refreshed him. and are you doing It
dally by winning others V His second
word to the woman (verse 'JU) takes us
back to Gen. I, 0, 7, waters above and
waters below; also to Jer. ii. 151. the
fountain and the broken cisterns, and
onward to Uev. xxi. (!; xxll. 17. the wa
ter of life freely given. Isa. Iv. 1 ; Kzek.
xlvll, 0, might bIho be considered with
much profit.
Thus only can we become wells or
water springing up. In last lesson wo

to receive Christ, wno is

Senate Agrees to Take Final Action
on Measure Next Tuesday.
Washington Jan. 31. The senate
agreed to vote on tho joint statehood
bill befo're adjourning on Tuesday,
Feb. 7, the amendments to be con
sidered on that date under tho ten
minutes rule. Teller spoke during tho
day In opposition to tho bill and sev
eral minor bills were passed.
It is by no means certain how
many states will be admitted to the
union under the agreement reported
to vote on the Joint statehood bill and
its numerous amendments on Feb. 7.
There are prospects, however, that
Oklahoma and Indian Territory will
come In as one state and thnt New
Mexico and Arizona will come in as
another, leaving Arizona as a terri
tory. Senator Beverklge, chairman of
the committee on territories, who has
charge of tho bill, concedes thnt in Its
present form there is no hope for Its
passage. Ho says that his desire now
is to give statehood to the million
and a half people of Oklahoma and
that
ill be
admitted as one state.
Senator Bard Springs a Sensation.
Washington, Feb. 1. Sensational
disclosures in relation to the alleged
use of Indian trust funds for the sup
port of sectarian schools were made
"Have you eyes in the back of your pectlng that. I've noticed that for some
bead'.-" asked a country magistrate of
n woman, and the woman promptly
replied that she bad. She was perfect
ly right. Take any average man and
anv average woman, question them as
to the dress and deportment of tlie peo
ple in any assembly where they were
together, and you will line! that tho j
woman has seen more than tlie man. !
for woman has been compelled to en
large the angle of her vision and to
see all around her hat without shifting
uu eye.
From an early age instinct tells the
girl, and convention seals the Instinct,
that she must not look directly at the
man In the street, therefore the hon
est woman walks through London look
ing straight ahead. The direct look at
the stranger Is forbidden, yet human
curiosity compels, so develops nnd en
larges that angle of vision, for no wo
man will deliberately blind herself,
and therefore by continual exercise
those calm conventional eyes that look
to the horizon and the Infinite have
trained themselves to see the world out
of the corners obliquely. London

People are apt to think that, though
their actual lives are poor and self
centered and such as they aro half
ashamed of, if some great crisis
arose they would be nblo to gather np
their halting will and raise themselves
to its height. Yes, no doubt. Only
life's sternest calls never come In any
such fashion. Things don't arrange
themselves for us to gather up i' f
ble will and settle with our souls that
we will bo heroes. They come hardly
and sharply, testing not what we have
resolved to be. but simply what wo are.
We have a sort of feeling that it Is
the opportunity that makes the man.
Not so. The opportunity only shows
him for what he Is, and the spirit of
