Why baptlzeeli by not for con Hp vas pin- lea (John III, 16). It has been urged that He Intended In this way to honor the ordinance of baptism and set an example; for Hioko w ho might become Ills disciples, but that does not seem piobable One i ration Is given In nn other place (John I, V,',). It nppenis that the Holy Splilt hail Informed John that the Chi 1st would bo made; known by biptlsm. The Intention was to piov'Vle a public mode of an nouncement, an occasion when, In the pieseiice of many, the fiet might be fully established that the Messiah had come. Theie Is another reason which ought to be Joined with this. All pilests In the Jewlah church weie In ducted Into olllce bv baptism (I!. wlv, 9). Inasmuch ns Chi 1st was to , be a pi lest (lleb. v, fi) It was proper that He should enter by this door, thus fulfilling cetcmonlal ilghteou-. ncss. TESTIMONY (Verses 1C and 17). The great puipose of the baptism was I uttalned. The natuie and character of Jesus weie attested by mirkod phenomena, as He came up fiom the I water. The Holv Splilt In the foim of n dove, the emblem of purity and gentleness, descended and lighted on Hint, vislbl" both to Jesus and to John (John I, 33). At the same tlmu n voice from heaven declined, "This Is my beloved Son, In whom I am well plinsed." The descending splilt v.n I seen but once In tha life time of 1 Jesus, because it lemalned with Him. 1 Hut the voice, utteilng the same thing, was heaul afte.waid (Luke Iv, 25). Heio two Messpmlc predictions were fulfilled, the gift of the splilt as an abiding pitsjnee (Ka. .l, 2), and 1 the sublime st truth of the Now Tes- j lament (1 Tim. Ill, P5). After such heavenly testimony John was able to Ft mil as, a heialel to his Kcnel.itlon I and fulfill his iiM'slon In deelailng that thilst had actuallv come TUANSniO.V (Veise 1).-Iiimu,. I ellately after His baptism Jesus wem; foi tli to meet the gie-it deceiver. As He came to deliver Hl-c peojde fiom sin (Matt. 1.

THEIR TRANSVAAL CONCESSION An English Stoiy of Oom Paul's Shiewdnesb in n Business Trinsao tlon. From the Toiemlo Globe All eM-eedingly cm Ids and Intel : Ing stmy about Piesldcnt Kru.-er has been 1 elated by a icsielent m' Toionto who has spent a number of ve-iis In South Afilca and Is well nriiiinlute'l with the tondltlons in that pait of tho woild. Tho stoiy was lelate-d to him by 0110 of the pilnclpal netois In the Incident, whose name the Infmmaut mentioned, nlthough It would not bo Judicious to give It publicity. It wlil sulllcc to sav that the name was In stantly iccognls-ed as that of a poison who Is exceedingly well known In con nection with South Afilcan nlfalis. It inny be ndded that the stoiy, so far as known, has not been published. In HSI, J '.in I Ki tiger, Jonlsen and two other elelegntes tiom the Tunis vnnl, weie In London negotiating wl'n l.m el Derby the famous London con vention, which has been so assiduous ly canvasseel and quoted of late, No one has ever aceuseel tho huigheis of tho Tiansvaal of being a pat tlcul.it ly docile set, and during the nbsente ot Kiugur and his tellow-leadeis one of the not Infieeiuent civic commotlniu took place at home, Not paitlcularly luipmtant In Itself, It had the disagree nblo effect of stopping supplies tor tho country's eiunitetto of diplomats; and Oom Paul nnd his friends found them Spinal j Disease I I Cured I Four Months selves stone broke, They could not pay their hotel bill, and their circum stances were awkward in every way. At this juncture the Fngllshman ap peared on the scene. He was staying In London, was familiar with South Afiica and its public men, and knew the Transvaal delegates -well. Ho be came aware of the scrape In which they found themselves. An acute liusl ness man, he saw an opportunity. It was befoie the tlas of the 'Wltwaters l.uid, and the Tiansvaal government was eking out its lnsufllclent Income by grants of monopolies and conces sions. Tho Hngllshman had an uncle, a wealthy Yoikshlie woolen manufact 111 or. Hnllstlng his uncle's aid, he made a pioposltlon to Mr. Krugei. The two Englishmen would pay tho obnox ious hotel bill, and would supplement It with a cash gift of 1,(00. In re turn they asked u concession for the monopoly of the wool manufacturing nnd the wool washing of the Trans vaal, In w hle.li, It Is to be recollected, eonsideiable Hocks of sheep arc kept by the Hoeis. Air. Kiuger thought It over, and accepted. The hotel bill was wiped olf the books. The thousan 1 pmmd check found its testing place. Thus provided with the sinews of war, Kiuger and his fellow delegates con tinued the negotiations. The London convention was signed. i'he HnglMimen went ahead with their plans. They Intended to eiect a mill to manufacture ceit.iln woolen goods that would find a local market and to control tho export of the sur plus wool. They were to got a certain tiact of seventy-five- acres In extent. The city of Johannesbuig today stands upon that tiact. Tney bought their machlneiy and were toady to ship It. Just then they mentloneel their good birgaln to a filend who was an offi cial In the colonial olllee. "As an n1Ilcl.il," ohsetved tho filend, "my mouth Is closed. Hut, speaking ns a filend don't ship that machln eiy until the concession Is ratified by the Milksi.iad." Second thoughts pi p vailed. The En glishmen waited. The volksraad mot, and Piesldent Kruger submitted the pioposed concession to them, exhibit ing no warmth In Its advocacy. The volksiaad tlucvv It out summarily. The Englishmen weie glad that they hail not shipped the machinery. Then the Englishmen broached to Piesldent Kiuger the tiuestion of that thousand pounds and that hotel hill. The piesldent was as suave as Oom Paul ever Is. Those sums, he ex plained were to bo chaiged against the republic. As Srtephnnus Johannes Paulus Kiuger he 'had nothing to do with the matter. THE CAMEL'S USEFULNESS. Is Somewhat Weakened by the De fects of His Chaiacter. Fiom St. Paul's. I am obllgid to confess to the disil lusioning of my mind as to the camel as well as his master. "Docile," "faithful," "gentle" weie tho adjectives I had alwas applied to the hug?, ungainly, but Indispensable animal. When, however, a lesldence iu tho east hi ought me Into personal contact with the camel, I cime to know- him ' lu his habit as he lives," 1 was obliged to say a long fuiewell to an other di cam of my childhood. I had alwa.s agieod with HusseU's descilp tlon of the camel as "an abominably ugly nei-es-aiy animal, but had so tlimoughly believed In the camel's gentleness, intelligence, fidelity and supieme usefulness that I was ouKe of the opinion of the Aiablan poet who lepleseiils the ungainly stllde of the camel us pitsentlng a "stnndatd nf elegance in motion!" The camel Is stupid save when angr and then seems to be su'ldeiilv pin sesseel of an Intelligence almost pie ternutural lu canylng out Its -vug fill designs, Palgiavo it Kites the foil tw ins stoiy of a camel's levenge, whlcn seives to illustiate tho point; "A lad of fouiteen hail conducted a laige camel with wood fiom one vlllii"- to nnother at a half houi's distance. As the animal lolteied or turned on tho way Its conductor stiuck it repeated'. and hauler than It seemed to have thought he had a right to do. Hut. not finding the occasion favonVo for taking Immediate quits. It 'boJo 'l time,' That time was not long In com ing. A few dn.s later the saino ltd had to leconduct the beaht, but tin laden, to his own village. When tliey vveio about half way on the load nnd at sumo distance fiom nny habitation the camel suddenly stopped, looked delibctntely loiinil In eveiy diiectlon to nssuie Itself that no one was lu sight, and, finding tho load far and near tlear of passeisby, made a step forwaid, seized the unlucky boy's head In Its inonstious mouth, nnd, lifting him up In tho alt, Hung liltn down again on tho cm tli with the upper pirt of hla skull completely torn off and his bialns scattered on tho giouud. Hnvlng thus satisfied Its revenge, tho hi ute quietly resumed Its pace toward tho vitiligo ns though nothing weie the matter, till somo men, who had Richard D. Creech, of 106a Second Street, Appleton, Wis consin, says : "Our son Willard was abso lutely helpless. His lower limbs were paralyzed, and when we used electricity he could not feel it below his hips. Finally my mother, who lives in Canada, wrote advising the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I bought some. This was when our boy had been on the stretcher for an entire year and helpless for nine months. In six weeks after taking the pills we noted signs of vitality in his legs, and in four months he was able to go to school. It was nothing else in the world that saved the boy than Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People." From the Cre cent, Appleton, Wis.
