IRE W[ST[R~ M[TROPOLIS

Invaded by the Scribes. Were Roy- al ly Enterta ined and Had r l any

Nove! Experiences.

Tim newspaper f ra tern i ty of the Eastern Michigan Press Club were the gues t so f the Grand T r u u k R a i l - road company the later part of last week. It, was a n enjoyable affair, brimful of sociability, mixed with a variety or en te r ta inments , lunches, sightseeing, Turk ish baths and ka- leidoscopic experiences of sulllcien1~ qual i ty and quan t i ty to last, an ordi- nary country edi tor a life t ime.

Of course raih'0ad companies always do things up brown. The Grand Trunk people are never behind, as, our trip to Chicago and re turn gave ample proof. I t was a treat, a real treat, and while, the Chronicle scribe was resting his weary limbs upon a downy cushion seat watching the f a rmhous - es, ~owns and villages as°our train swept by at a 60-mile clip, we could not help but express the wish if only uur en t i re Chronicle family were pres- en t to enjoy the ride with us. Our party comprised about 75 people, men ~md women, including a br ight l i t t le girl who represented the brigl~test spot in the Marle t te Leader office.

Messrs. Gee. W. Wats:)n and O. C. Bryant, both connected with the passenger depa r tmen t of the Grand Trunk, chaperoned the party and r ight well did they perform thei r duty to the del ight and comfort of the entire party.

Tim first stop made af ter leaving Detroi t was a t Bat t le Creek, where ~epresentatives of the Business Men's Association took us in tow. Several hours were spent in visi t ing p()ints cf in teres t in this hust l ing city. The l?ostum Cereal Co.'s big pianb came first on the program. This gigantic ins t i tu t ion was conceived and reared by tha t genial and shrewd business man, Charles W. l?ost, who commenc- ed to manufac ture the famous postum coffee in i895, i n n l i t t le white barn on the outskirt,4of the city limits. Since t h a t t ime great buildings have sprung up all around the l i t t le barn, covering a b o u t ten acres, wlmse uni- form coloring ()1' whi te has earned for the plant the n ickname of "Th~ White City." A few years af ter the launching of Posture, the now famous breakfast food, Grape-nuts, was placed on the market . Grape-nuts is a household word. No breakfas t table i s complete w i t h o u t i~. E very0ody likes it. I t is the best food of its kind. t l av ing seen how ~t is prepared the wri ter can heart i ly recommend it,. Our visit to the Posture factory was brought to a f i t t ing close wi th a luncheon served by t he management . The Kellogg Sani tar ium, which has a world-wide reputat ion, the Pi lgr im omce and the Duplex Machine com, pany's plant were next visited in the order named. 'Although our stay in the cereal city, as Bat t le Creek is called, was somewhat brief i t was full of interest, to the visi t ing editors.

The fu r the r journey to Chicago was made memorable by a few of the scribes who indulged in a friendly bunt ing match. Messrs. Burgess of Bad Axe and Curtiss of Det ro i t were the star performers. The game was a draw. For part iculars we refer our readers t o - t h e above named gentle- men. Our party arrived ~n tim Windy City unusually early in the day considering the long distance we had traveled. I t is t ruly marvelous how t ime and distance is ann ih i la ted by "a fast t rain such as the Grand Trunk company operates be tween Por t Hur- on, Det ro i t and Chicago. Truly the world is moving fast.

Through the courtesy of Secretary Ehner , publisher of ~he Monroe Corn mercial, accommodations had been previously arranged for the party a t Brevoor t hotel, which is central ly located at 143 Madison street, about seven or e ight blocks from the Grand T r u n k station. This is one of the best hotels in Chicago wi th a liiSe res- t au ran t a t tached. The rooms are clean and well vent i la ted and ~he best of all an excellent bed awaits tam weary traveler. We can recommend the place heart i ly to any of our readers who may have occasion to stop in Chfcago.

As mueh.,as~we would like to give an extended write-up of the met, rope- Its of the middle west, space will not permi t of this. Chicago is a big i~ity with innumerable business enterpris- es. l t ' s a place of skyscrapers, a railroad center wi th manufac tor ies of every deseaiption and the largest stock yards in the world. Money rules supremely. There are many churches but no Sunday. I t llas many mansions but few homes. I t ' s a continual whirl of business and pleasure. During our stay a good sized s t ree t car s t r ike was on tap. The Writer being somewhat interested i n s t r i k e s inquired into labor con- ditions. While convers ing with sev oral strikers, we soon discovered tha t tim most radical e l emen t was in con- trol. We referred them to Detro i t and how the s t ree t railway employees there sett led the i r dilrerefices. One of tlm men, u t t e r ing an oath, s ta ted t h a t Detroi t was a slow town anyhow.

Tim worst th ing 'we found in Chica- go was a class of people who eke out a fine(?) living b); receiving tips. Yo0 meet them on all sides. Nearly every man, woman and child t h a t looks at you wants a tip. I t ' s an evil to be abhorred. I t creates a lot of fawning monkeys who will lick your t h u m b for

r ~ a six pence , l i p p i n g is essentially un:Amerigan and ye editor, lot" good reasons, protests vigorously against 1{5.

tIowever, lest some one should mis- construe Qur criticism, we l~asten to

say tha t our s~ay in the Windy City was really delightful . We were dined and en te r ta ined by Barnhar t Bros. & Spindler and the American Type Founders company in a most royal style. And if these gent lemen will take the trouble to Visit Cass City, we shall cons ide r i t a n honor to re- turn the compliment . The Chronicle conjointly with the o ther members of the Eastern Michigan Press Club de- sires {~o express its hearty appreciation to the Grand Trunk Raih'oad company for the magn i f i cen t~ t rea tmen t received at the i r hands, and especially to Messrs. Watson and Bryant, the i r representatives, who did all in tlmir power to make the trip pleasant and profitable for us.

In conclusion we desire to s ta te tha t the Grand Trunk system is today one of the largest railroad CO-opera- t ions in existence. During the past) few years tile company has spent vast sums of money in double- t racking and r educ ing grades between Por t Huron and Chicago. The tracks bave~ also been relaid with heavy rail, s tone and iron bridges have been put in, large, handsome depots have been erected at Flin% Durand and Lansing. The System is making rapid forward strid- es and in a few years tim ent i re s t re tch between Montreal and Chica- go, 840 miles, will be double- t racked. This will give the Grand Trunk the longest stretcl~ of double t rack under one managemen t on tile cont inent .

m e n t {Jan Be /'lade Soon.

Charles Montague of Caw, says tile Detroi t Journal, is making a game fight to pay his creditors 100 cents on tAm dol]ar, and elaims ~l~at if l~e {s given a fair clmnce tile assets will re- alize more than enough for tha t purpose. Almost every day since his fail- ure Mr. Montague has spent several h o u r s a t tt]e cilice of tile Union Trus t Co., digging in a mass of figures with Trus t Officer Hoyt and supplying information "from iris very re ten t ive menlory.

Mr. Montague now claims tha t ac- cordifig~to ~lie appraised va lud t ionof his property all the creditors will be paid in fuli. His voice ~rembled with emotion as he read tim figures from a sheet which had been typewr i t t en a t the office of the Union Trus t Co.

"This s t a t e m e n t , " he said, "will be mailed to my creditors, and will show t h a t according to the appraisers own iigures riley wi l l receive a l l ~hatVls coining £o them as soon as my affairs are settle(l. My only objec~ in life just now is ~o see tha t my creditors 'are paid. 1 never wronged any man during my business career, and no man ever lost a dollar on account of being associated in business wi th me. I expect to come out or this present dilliculty in good shape and triumpl~ over the enemies who are t ry!ng to pull me down.

" T h e tigures in tl~is s t a t e m e n t represent an appraisal of from 25 to 75 cents on the dollar of the inventory value. The appraisers, W. II. Carson, Gee. W. Howell and C. C. Jenks, did the i r work thoroughly, witimu~ fear or favor, and the i r es t imates are un der, ra ther than above the probable selling price (ff tim various properties. According to the i r report my total unencumbered real es ta te is worth $90,000; cash in the hands of the trus- tee, $19,000; personal property, such as grain, bills receivable, etc., $25,000; one-I~hird in teres t in Van Winkle & Montague, $50,000; total $184,000; land deed to Alex. McPherson or tim Old' Detrdit Nat ional bank, wi~ich i feel sure Mr. M cPherson will let me t~tve back, as he will receive payment m full anyhow, $~000; making ~otal assets of $192,000. The total unsecured indebtedness, including bank deposlts and claims of every nature except those of,George Peck and others, who have security, $125,000; leaving a bal- ance or $06,100 af ter paying all indebtedness in full.

" I will ce r ta in ly be able to prove my one-third interes t in the firm of VanWinkle & Montague, which is wortl~ double its appraised value, but even if the suit now pending goes against me there will still be enougl~ ~o more than pay the creditors. Tim property we own in Del ta c o u n t y is very valuable, being in the distric~ where people are going wild over oil discoveries, and near the big paper mill recently erected a t Munising.

" I f I had been allowed to go on with my common law assignment , most of t h e creditors would have been paid by this t in)e," said Mr. Monta- gue, " b u t as i t is I hope they won ' t have to wait very l o n g . . P l e a s e say in the Journal tha t all my unsecured creditors will receive 100 cents on the della r."

U n i o n S e r v i c e of Al l C h u r c h e s

He ld a t t h e M. E. C h u r c h . ;

i'

By Rev. 5. P. Jackson. The Dls- i course a Forceful Reminder of 'i Many B le s s ings Receive~l.

The union Thanksg iv ing services at 1the M. E. churct~ were fairly well at- thnded. Rev. Jackson 's sermon was St;holarly and full of practical thoughts, reminding the hearer of the upspeakable blessings constant ly be- stowed upon man by our heavenly Father . The sermon, an outl ine of which follows, shows much historical though t and was delivered in a pleas- ing manner.

Ps. 147: 7. Sing unto the Lord with Thanksg iv ing for he is good. Isa. 31: 3. Thanksgiv ing and the voice of melody.

There ale many texts whicll migh t be used for a Thanksgiv ing sermon, but this one has a ring of gladness in i t w h i c h I like. Thankfulness pre- sdpposes gladness. The two go t~o- t e ther . We ought to be glad and ~hankful all the time. "Giving thanks always unto God" should be our mot- in, but when special a t t en t ion is called to it as is done at this t ime in theyea r , people ought to make it a business to be glad and thankl'u]. Thanksgiv ing is no t ime for retro- spection. Past clouds and future gloom must not be allowed to come before the eyes. Pessimist ic thoughts havn't tile least r ight to any at tention. Le t the l i t t l e t rohb le s and ills and trials of life be shoved to one side, tha t the whole nature may be ()pen to the contemplat ion and thankful en- joyment of the goodffess of God. And the mind and hear t filled with thoughts of God and l~is goodness, the lieart will n o i s i n g to any other thhn opt imist ic notes. Discouraging and unexlJlainabte th ings migh t be thought of. SadneSs might be dwelt upon very easily, for sadness and joy are neighbors; but what would i t awtil to thus let the t lmughts wander amid the gloom. No good would come of i t and the joy of tile au tumn Thanksgiv ing festival w(,uld be'em- bi t tered for others. The Puri tans sang the song of anc ient fai th in the wild storm tha t rocked t lm Mayflower in i t s~reary voyage from Province- town Bay.

"Amid the storm they sung, And the stars hoard and the sea.

And the sounding aisles of the dim woods rung

With the anthem of the free!" I f they could sing" under such con-

dit ions with an uncer ta in fu iure star- ing tilem in the face, we amid the highly favoring condit ions of our lives ought to shout for joy. Then let us give ourselves over to the spiri t of an old Thanksgiv ing Day; have the home warm and cosy, not neglect ing the feast, sparing no pains and bh()ught to have only cheer and mer r imen t in air; forget t ing not the God of life and all becomingchi ldren t(~gether. Then shall ascend to tim tt~rone of God from every home festival scene a g r a n d p e a n of joy which is the f rui t of the hear t ies t Thanksgiving.

Wha t is the foundation of any joy for and on ~his day or any oilier? The though t of the goodness of God. The mind fixed on the infinite Fath- er 's dealings for a l i t t le wiaile will make us feel the words whicla the Psalmist spoke. " [ low many are thy gracious though ts onto the, O Lord[ How great is t h e s u m of them! When I count, t h e m they are more in number than the sandP' This appreciation of God's goodness a n d blessings and mercies gave bir th to Thanksgiv- ing Day. And to get the full spiri t aj~d slgnilicance of the day one must go back in ima..ination to the t imes of Pur i tan simplicity. They lived so simply, and so near to nature tha t they were near to God. His rule of the ear th was very vivid to tt~eir minds. They felt exceeding dependen t upon his favor and blessings. • I have often t hough t t h a t ti l lers of the soil are brought into closer relat ions with t h e ' Lord of the hai'vest and are better, cared for; because they are more dependen t upon him. To these Pur i tans God was ruler. T h e i r c o m - ing across a trackless sea, buoyed up by not a thought of conquest or tile gain of riches, but tha t they migh t find a place where they would be free t01ive the i r simple, holy lives tin- molested, is evidence of a pure and Simple t rust in the Creator. To t h a t s trong-minded, s turdy-hear ted colony of men and women, tha t simple mas t in the ruler of the sea and lands was be t te r than great wealth or the pres- ence ()fan armed force or the in- lluence of the grea tes t sovereign tl~en ruling. They believed tha t God was On the ocean just as well a son the land and believed it as thoroughly as the child. For weeks the? were tOss- ed upon the sea dur ing the shortest and darkest days of the years, amid driving snow arid sleet, but the i r courage remained undaunted. And i t wasn ' t as though !shey were going to get out of the s torm into the warmtl~ and glow of a home. They had no home. The storm-riven forest, the snow-covered frozen earth, the rock- bound New England coast which one day appeared to view was their home. Before landing, they must have seen in it. suffering and death, but they weighed anchor, launched the l i t t le boats, pulled into the surf and then the men waded to the shore carrying the children and women in thei r arms. Sueh was the i r in t roduct ion into thei r new home after being in per t !of wind and waves for weeks.

The men immedi!}tely went, to work felling trees and i ( w a s n ' t long before rude log homes with wide wooden chimneys were ' ready for occupancy.

PARTIES TESTING [OR COAL. . The repor t comes from Bay City

t ha t t h e terr i tory east of t ha t city is being tested for coal. Several parties have secured leases on land 'for mining privileges near Manger in Tuscola county. Among the prospectors are Handy Bros.. of West Bay City, who recently sold their coal holdings in Bay county to tile Pore Marquet te coal combine. They are a hust l ing firm and will aid material ly in the de- velopment of Tuscola county"s' c~a~ deposits: I f the coal pockets in ~he western part of this county are sufll-

.ciently large and of the r ight qual i ty i t will mean much towards building a railroad, and hence will also be (,f great value to Cass citY and surround- ing terri tory. ' r i le quest ion of fuel for domestic and industria~ purposes is of g r e a t impor tance to Cuss City. .With plenty of coal near by our future as an industrial center is secured. I t is Omrefnre hoped tha t the p lesent efforts of the Bay City gen t lemen will be successful.

The l i t t le tots marched like soldiers and en te r ta ined the i r mam- mas many of whom were present.

Misses Malam's Beardsley's and Leeple 's juniors delivered themselves of patr iot ic reci tat ions in great style, especially was this noticeable by the clapping of hands. The prggrams in all the rooms were brief and there wasn ' t a dry m o m e n t dur ing the entire hour of speaking and singing.

Cuba engaged t h e attentiofi cf the sen- a te Monday, to the exclusion of all o ther questions. Mr. Hale moved to recons ider the vote by which the New- lands joint resolut ion for the annex- at ion of Cuba was re fe r red to a commit tee , and several speeches were made on the motion wit lmut disposing

Before a d j c u r n m e n t the sena te unanimous ly agreed to vote on the Cuban bill Dec. 16 next.

Mr. Morgan began ms r e m a r k s by saying he did not r eg re t his r e t i r emen t as cha i rman of the commit tee on inter- oceanic canals. He disclaimed parti- sanship in the conduct of the affairs of tha t commi t t ee and declared tha t he had not and would not r eve r se his po- sitlon on the canal question at the in- s tance of any par ty caucus.

He discussed at some length the at- t i tude of the presi 'dent in the ma t t e r of select ion of a route for the proposed Is thmian canal, and in doing so ac-

He re fe r red to the Spooner act and said no one could null ify it. The revolut ion in Panama. he said, was a caesar ian operation, which took Pan. ~£ma ~alive f rom the womb of Colombia.

~Mr. Morgan charged tha t the presi. dent has made the eanm quest ion a ~ar ty quest ion and added: "I am encouraged to hope that there are still some barr iers that we may rely upon to protect the peace and save the com- merce of the country. I r eg re t that par ty discipline is to be used as a do- mest ic police force to pro tec t ' the t ransi t ' in Panama, and to guard the in te res t s of the new canal company. Tha t we will get a canal, if one can be built in Panama, I have no doubt, for. the pres ident has said so. Yet this re- sult is not near ly so cer ta in or so safe if he should obey the Spooner law."

Mr. Morgan said t ha t he h a d only consented to the e n a c t m e n t of the Spooner bill because of his confidence in the good fai th of the pres ident in enforc ing the law, and now tha t the pres ident had not seen fit to keep tha t fai th it remalned to be seen whe the r the sena te would support him in that position. The president , he said, had completed his campaign against the Spooner act by hav ing Mr. Hay sign a t rea ty with "somebody from Pan. area," who had no au thor i ty except tha t conveyed in a cab legram from a junta at Panama.

He read the cor respondence bearin~ upon the revolution to show, as he said, tha t " the p res iden t had known of the uprising in the i s thmus before it began and had stood ready with a rmed ships to protecL those engaged in it." The pre tense in Assis tant Sec- r e t a r y Loomls' d ispatch tha t it wa~ our desire to main ta in peace. Mr. Mot'. gas declared was the g r immes t piece of i rony tha t had ever graced diplo- mat ic annals.

Mr. Morgan expressed the hope thai Mr. Hay had been asleep when some of the messages of his subordinates had been flying over the wire. "~s for

t h e president ," he said, "he never sleeps on his post of duty or desire, although he somet imes c]oses his eyes to what is going on about him."

He contended tha t Colembia had had a perfect r ight Lo suppress an uprising on the is thmus, and declared that the Uni ted S ta tes had fnAled u t te r ly to observe its t r ea ty obligations in pur- suing the course it had taken.

GOTTi REBUKED THE~.

Took Card ina i s to T a s k For Revea l ing Propaganda 's Doings.

Rome, Nov. 24.--When the cardinals corn,posing the congrega t ion of the propaganda met Monday they received a sharp r e m i n d e r tha t they have at their head in the person of the prefect of the propaganda, Cardinal Gotti, a church, and of c lear ly de f ined~and ~trong opinions. Those p resen t at the mee t ing were Cardinals Agliardi, Van. nutelli, ,Steinhuber, Segna, Pierott i , Cassetta, Mart ineni , Satoli, Mathieu, Della, Volpe and Gotti.

The cardinal prefect , in his opening address, dwel t most ea rnes t ly on the bad impression made on both the pon- tiff and himself by the receipt of re- mons t r ances f rom apostolic delega- tions and from cardinals abroad against the publicat ion of" the de- cisions c)~ the propaganda before they had been officially informed of these decision~, and even before the de- cisions had been ratified by the pon- tiff. This m a t t e r had gone so far, said Cardinal Gotti. t ha t the resul ts of the meet ings of the p ropaganda were known in the Uni ted S ta tes even before the mee t ings of the cardinals had been ac tual ly concluded.

Continuing, Cardinal Gotti said that he had in the s t ronges t m a n n e r called to the a t ten t ion of all the clerks in at- t endance on the congregat ion of the propaganda tha t It was th(~r duty to observe the most complete secrecy, and~ he wished to r ecommend the same course not only to the secre tar ies . Monsignors Vaccia and Savelli, but even to m~embers of the sacred college themselves , al though, he added, that he did not suppose for a m o m e n t that any of them would condescend to lower the i r d igni ty by act ion con t ra ry to the spirit of the law r egu la t i ng the affairs of the propaganda.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 2 4 . ~ F o r

~he first t ime since L a n t K. Salsbury ceturned f rom serving t w e n t y months In the Detroi t house of correct ion he consented to be in terv iewed. I t was a s t range, even pa the t ic a~La~r. He came down to his nea t par lor envel- oped in a lounging robe. His face was hard and drawn. His eyes lacked lustre. He looked as if he was still

being hunted and haunted. Very earnes t ly Sa lsbury ta lked about

himself. He refused absolute ly to say any th ing about his confession to the

prosecut ing a t t o rney except to talk along the line of it being the proper thing to do f rom a moral s tandpoint .

"If I could only do something," he said, " tha t would save the reputa t ions of these men, tha t would save them from punishment . But w h a t can I do? I had to do wha t I did. I never could

face the world again with tha t on my conscience. When these men eame to me, both in prison and at mv home, and pleaded with me I told them that I could not help it, tha t I had to tell."

D e n i e s H a v i n g ~ t h e $50,000. " W h a t about the rumor ," he was

asked, " tha t you still h~ave tha t $50,000 tha t you rece ived f rom Mihionaire Barton, tha t it is said you took from t h e s a f e t y deposi t vaul t in Chicago?"

"I never had it," he replied. "Didn't Barto~ say tha t he received it back?"

"Did he get it back?" "I don' t know. I know tha t I haven ' t

got it. I know tha t I haven ' t a c~nt, that~I'rn broke, fiat broke. As to the rumors tha t these men whom I have implicated in the conspi racy and brib- ery having suppor ted my family while I was in prison, I will say tha t it is wholly untrue. My wife and child were looked a f te r by my father-in- l a w . "

Looks For More T r o u b l e .

Salsbury is r a t h e r fearful tha t he is not yet out of his trouble. He fears l i t t le f rom the cour t In this city, but there is an i nd i c tmen t hanging over him in Chicago, where he is charged with the l a rceny of $50,000 from Bar- ton, the Omaha mill ionaire, whose son he induced to place the money in a safe ty deposit box as "a gua ran t ee of good fai th."

Barton wanted the con t rac t in the pure wate r scheme, and Salsbury told him tha t he would get it for him, but he had to deposit the s u m ' o f $50,000. This he did and Salsbury was given a koy to the box. The box was found rifled a few days la te r .and it was always the impress ion tha~ Salsbury got the money and tha t he has it yet.

The people of this ci ty are on the qui r ive for more sensations. The a r r e s t of the seven teen officials and ex-officials has whe t t ed the i r appet i tes for more, and the impress ion prevails tha t at ]ea~t a dozen more war ran t s will be issued before the end of the week. Ne i the r P rosecu t ing At to rney Brown nor Ward, his assis tant , will say wha t the week will br ing forth. Both admit t ha t more a r res t s are to follow.

One of her services to ;et ters in Russia was the purchase of the libraries of Voltah'e and Diderot. She was a ~%'trm friend and admi re r of these French philosophers, and their work interested her because she was eager to learn new l l ~ r i e s of politics and govcrnment . Voltaire's l ibrary of about 7,000 vol- runes is now a par t of the Russian im- perial l ibrary in the Hermi t age palace, and in the h'tll devoted to it is Hou- den's s ta tue of Voltaire.

The s tory of Cather ine ' s pro:chase of Diderot 's l ibrary is interesting. It is creditable to her tact and her generos- ity. Diderot named £1o,000 as the price of his l ibrary. Cather ine II. of- fared hlm £16,000 and named as a ecru dittos of the bargain tha t her purchase should r ema in wi th Diderot until his death. Thus Diderot, wi thou t leaving Paris, became Cather ine 's l ibrar ian in hls own library. A s - h e r l ibrar ian he was given a year ly sa lary of £1.000.

One y e a r this sa lary was not paid. Then Cather ine wrote to her l ibrarian that she could not have him or her library suffer through the negligence of a t reasurer ' s clerk and tha t she should ~end hlm the stun tha t she had set aside for the care and increase of her l ibrary for fifty years. At the end of that period she would nmke new ar- rangeinents. A check for £25,000 ac- comnanied this letter.

I toId him we rare ly s tar ted ac- cbunts on such small deposits, but would make "m exception in his ease to encourage th r i f t and school him in business.

"He w e n t through the prel iminar ies nervously, signed the s ignature card. put his money in and got a nice new l)ank book, By tha t t ime he was all llustered. They gave him a cheek book. and im decided he would have to have some money for present use. The re- eeiviug teller introduced hhn to the payhlg teller, and he inquired the procedure of ehecldng out money. The l)aying teller explained at length. Then my liter ' try fr iend wen t over to the desk and wrote a check for his entire $59, go t the money and w e n t out."

Dr. Miles ' Nerv~ne Cured Him.

Weak, nervous, fretful, puny children re- quire a treatment 'such as only Dr. Miles' Nervine affords. When neglected these symptoms lead to epileptic fits or spasms. Every mother should strengthen her own and babies' nerves with Dr. Miles' Nervine, a true specific in all nervous disorders. Read the following:

days. At first hniment seemed to help but in about two weeks nothing did any good the doctor gave him. We called another doctor but his medicine did no good so we changed to another who called it spinal disease. By this time the child's Body was drawn out of shape; his backbone was curved to one side arid his hands and feet out of shape. His sflfferings were terrible, and he was having from two to six fits a day. I was taking Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine for nervous trouble and saw it was recommended for fits, so I thought I would gee if it would hdp him. Allthree doctors had given him up. One-half bottle stopped the fits and his limbs straightened, and another bottle cured him. IIe is now a strong, healthy boy ~oing to school. I have waited to see if the old trouble returned, before writing you, but it never has. I cannot praise Dr. Miles' Nerv- ine enough, as I know it saved my boys life,"--MRs. URIAtI NELSON, Lansing, Iowa.

[ C o p y r i g h t , 1903, by A m e r i c a n l ' r c ~ A s s o c i a t i o n . ]

Our lesson Is en t i t led "David ' s charge ~o Solomon." but t ha t is covered by verses 9 and 10: the verses preceding give David ' s charge to isrdel t h rough her r ep l~sen ta t ive men; but the complete c h a r g e both to Solomon and to the people includes at least the last two verses of this chap te r and the Iirst five of tile next . Tile address to l)oth con- cerns very largely the temple which David had it in his hea r t to buihl and

' for wh ich he m a d e a b u u d a n t l)rovision, .but concern ing which God sahl un to him, "Thou ~ m l t not bui ld an house for my n a m e because thou h ' l s t 1)een a man of w a r and has t shed 1)lood" (verses 1-3).

Many th ings sugges t t hemse lves to the mind of a child of God wh ich seem both to the bel iever and to his i n t ima te f r i ends to be good and r ight , bu t file sugges t ions are not of God. On the o the r hand, God somet imes tells a be- lleS'or to do t h a t wh ich seenls con t ra ry to tile conlmon sense and good judg- ~aent both of h imse l f and his fel low 1)e- flevers; Even Nathan , tile prophet , t hough t t ha t D' tvld 's purpose to buil,l a tmnple was all right, and lie a t lirst encouraged h im in it (I Chron. xvii, 1, 2).

The apost le Pau l t h o u g h t tha t he ough t to p reach t h e ' w o r d in Asia and in B i t h y m i a on his way wes t du r ing his second tour, bu t tile Sl)irit forl)ade hhn to do so a t t ha t t ime (Acts xvi, 6, 7). And w h a t could seem more con- t ra ry to all sound j u d g l n e u t of men t h a n to bui ld a g rea t vessel with no w a t e r in sight, to expect a sea to di- vide, a r iver to stop flowing, a ci ty 's wal ls to fall d o w n by unseen hamls,

.five loaves-of bread to feed 5,000 men or to roll away a s tone f rom a tomb and expect a co r rup t ing body to come for th in hea l th? Bu t these are only pa r t s of His ways, and how lit t le a por- t ion we hear of H i m ? (Job xxvi, 14; see also R . V . ) In creat ion and in re- dempt ion God in Chr is t was the only worker , and in the dai ly life of each bel iever it m u s t be His work ing wh ich worke th in us, or it will p rove to be wood, hay and stubble, which m u s t be bu rned up (Phil. it, 13; Col. i, 29; I Cot. lit, 14, 15).~

God is ever work ing all t h ings a f te r the counsel of His own will, according to the e ternal purpose which He pur- posed in Chr is t J e sus our Lord (Eph. i, 11; Ill, 11). Abel and Seth, not Cain; Isaac, not I shmae l ; Jacob, not Esau ; Judah , not Reuben or the o thers ; Da- vid, not El lab: Solomon, no t Na than , are. the chosen sons of men th rough w h o m the Son of Man is to come who will H i m s e l f be the t rue T e m p l e and Tabernac le ( John it, 19-21; Heb. viii, 1, 2); also the ch ief corner s tone of the bui ld ing now being comple ted (Eph. it, 19-21), and the son o f David to slt on David ' s t h rone and reign over the house of Jacob fo rever (Luke i, 31-33).

The th rone of David a t J e r u s a l e m is the only t h rone o n ea r th t h a t has ever been cal led the th rone of the Lord (verse 5; chap. xxix, 23; I I Chron. ix, 8), and J e r u s a l e m is the only city on ea r th t h a t will be cal led " the throne of the Lord" (Jer. iii, 17), and the only t h ing tha t I have found in Sc r lpmre t h a t God says EIe will do w i t h His whole hea r t and soul is t ha t He will 01ace Israel in the i r own land, give t h e m one h e a r t and one w a y to fea r t t l m and m a k e t h e m His people in the s igh t of all na t iohs (Jer. xxxii , 37-42). I t is p a r t of t t l s e terna l purpose, and He will do in spi te of all tlm ~ cavi l ing and unbel ie f of J e w s and gentiles.

Le t us give special a t t en t ion in the r e m a i n d e r of our med i t a t lon to the charge to Solomon and take wh. l t we can of it to our own hearts . On April 23, 18S6. verse 9 was made a very special blessing to my soul as I rode on the t ra in f rom Scran ton to Phih tde lphia . A n m m o r a n d u m on the mar;t in of my Bible r e m i n d s m e of this, nnd the bless- Ing lasts to this day. There is no th ing g rea te r t i tan to know God (Jer. ix, 23. 24; J o h n xvli. 3; Xlv. 9; Phil. ii1, 10; I I Pet . lit, 18), to know Him as our F a t h e r t h r o u g h Jesus Christ , for no man k n o w e t h the F a t h e r save t he Son. aud he to w h o m s o e v e r the Son will reveal H i m (Matt. xi, 27): There are no children of God, aecord ing to the Scrip- tures, except those who are born of God by receiving Jesus Chr is t as the i r Saviour , who a l so erbated all t h ings (John 1, 1-13). T h e n to serve Hi ln w i t h a pe r f ec t or Whole hea r t and a wIl l lng mind, rememl)er ing tha t He searclmth and u n d e r s t a n d e t h all the imag ina t ions of the t h o u g h t s of our hea r t s - - th i s is life in earnest . Concern ing the per fec t hea r t see Gen. xvii, 1; Heb. xiii. 20:.

As t ru ly as the palace which Sotomon was to bui ld was not for nian. bu t for the Lord God, so the dai ly life of every bel iever is first of all for the k ingdom of God and His r igh teousness (chap. xxix, 1; Matt . vi, 33). Let the words '~rake heed; be s t rong and do; be s t rong and of good courage aml do; fea r not, n o r be d i smayed , " and the o the r words of verses 10 and 20 be ecru- pa red w i th Deut. xxxi, 6, 8; Josh. 1.5-9: Hag. it, 4, 5, a n d then h m n b l y but hon- est ly app rop r i a t e as your very own God's special personal message to your o w n soul, and, l ike David, you will find you r affect ion se t upon the honse of y o u r God, and w i t h all your m i g h t you will p repa re the w a y of t he .Lord , and o thers will be led to rejoice and offer wi l l ingly to do l ikewise (chap. xxix, 2, 3, 9). Both in sa lva t ion and service all is of God. The greatness , the power, the glory, a re all His. All r iches and honor come f rom I l im ; all power and m i g h t are His, and all He asks el' us is to be whol ly and wi l l ingly His for His p leasure and seek H im and His will only and a lways .

176 Warren Avenue, C~IOAGo, I ~ . , Oct. 22, 1902.

For nearly four years I suffered f rom ovarian troubles. The doctor insisted on an operation as the only way to get well. I, however, strongly Objected to an operation. My husband felt disheartened as well as I, for home with a sick woman is a disconsolate place at best. A fr iendly druggis t advised h i m to get a bottle of Wine of Cardui for me to try, and he did so. I began to improve in a few days and m y recovery was very rapid. With- in eighteen weeks 'I was another being.

rs. Stowe s letter shows every woman how a home is saddenedby female weaknes and how completely Wine of Cardui cures that sick- ness and brings health and happi- ness again. Do not go on suffering. Go to your druggis t today and secure a $1.00 bottle of Wine of Cardui.

P L E N T Y O F Y O U N G CATTLE.

F e w e r C n t ~ l e T h n n I J s u ~ l A r e G o l n g I l l t o t h e F e e d L o t ~ .

The flood of cattle w h i c h reached all marke t s recent ly na tura l ly lowered the level of prices. The very best catt le did not suffer much, if any, because nol many finished breves are coming to market , but all o ther grades had t(l sell lower. Light catt le were entirely too numerous in the absence of a good d e m a n d "for feeders.

Two things are wor thy of notice in re- lation to the present movement of cattle. The first is tha t range shipments have been nmch l ighter than usual at this season, the bulk of the enormous receipts last week coming from the farms. And the second is the ability of the f a rms to spare so many cattle a t this t ime and the s ignihcanee of it. Does it mean tha t f a rmers who gener- ally feed catt le have decided tha t corn Is too high to tu ru into beef? Or is i 3 t h a t the country has a t last become fully stocked `with young catt le? Prob- ably it is a pa r t of both.

There is no question tha t fewer cat. fie are going into the feed lots than usual, and tha t has been the case for some time. This nms t be fel t in the marke t for fa t stock as soon as grass catt le are done and s laughterers have to depend more htrgely on the product of the feed lot. At the same t ime the supply of young cat t le on fa rms is g rea te r than for years . Fa rmers have increased their herds, and they have raised their calves, as has been sho£vn by the high prices paid for veals for several yeai's past. even In the winter of 1901-02, when fa t stuff was so scarce there was a g rea t plenty of young cattle, and tha t is the ease today,

Unless damaged corn leads to a great- er feeding b u s i n e s s t han is now in prospect, we may see the experience of thaL win te r repeated, though no such ex t remes are probable in the market for fa t stock. But there m a y be plenty of l ight and thin cattle, plenty of me- d ium class, half f a t stuff and compar- at ively few fa t steers. The country has an a b u n d a n t supply of cattle, bui will there be a corresponding abun- dance of beef? It is doubtful .--Nation- al Stockman.

Dr. Johnson, even if we except his predeces:~or, Bailey, was not the la the" of lexi¢ogral)hers. In a volume issued by the historical manuscr ip ts commis- sion on mam~scripts in the Welsh language it is s ta ted tha t the idea of illus- t ra t ing the n ican ing and correct use of words by actual quotat ions f rom the l i tcra ture of a living language seems to have been first put In pract ice by Grif- iith I I i raethog, tlie herald b a r d of Wales, who died in 1564. It `was not till the days of Dr. JohnsmL 200 years later, t ha t a similar idea took root in English soil. An abbrevia ted copy of Griflith t:Iiraethog's Welsh Dict ionary was made by his pupil, William Llyn, be tween 15157 and 1573 and is now in the free l ibrary -it Cardiff .--London Globe.
