Tst Walking Horses the Hcst. Cood trotteri are generally fast walkers, and fast walking is an Im portant, gait on the farm. There Is no use of being two hours doing a piece of work when It can Just as well be done in one hour. It Is bad economy to have a poor scrub of a horse on a farm that soon tires out, when you can have a gnme, fast walk ing horse, that don't know what It Is to tire, and that ran get over more ground In a day than a scrub can get ever In two days. Weekly Witness. Mutton Siirrp. Mutton sheep make a greater gain cf flesh than steers, according to ex periments made. At the Wisconsin station food required to produce 100 pounds of wether lamb was 364 pounds of corn. 29(5 pounds of corn silage, 1 5 R pounds of corn fodder and twenty-two pounds of potatoes. To produce 10 pounds of steer required 394 pounds of corn, 1S1 pounds of bran and 0.14 pounds of silage. The results showed that silage was also an excellent fond for the sheep as r.-e'l as for the steer. Epltoiuist. Nutritious Food. Brood sows should always have sufficient nutritious food to keep them In good condition. At farrowing time the sow should not be too fat. If she has had plenty of exercise and la In fair condition she will be better prepared to care for her offspring. She should not be fed corn every day of the year. This grain should be given most sparingly Just before far rowing, and In Its place n ration of two quarts of oats, one quart of soaked rem with one quart of wheat. This will prove an excellent ration. r - T.lst. Fence Repairing Time. It is customary to do all repairing cf foncs In the spring, but why not repair thorn In winter, when one can ipare the time? The winds of winter may displace a board or rail here and '.here, but a few hours' labor will re pair a mile of fence In the spring -hen It Is put In good order In the fall. New fences may be built In the fall as well as In the spring.

S: far as their proper bedding, feeding and ventilation are con :erned. It Is too Important a matter for the thrifty farmer to neglect at tending to himself. However trust worthy bis assistants, judging by our own experience, It will pay him well at the close of the season to see each evening that his cattle, horses, sheep and bogs are well bedded, fed and watered. Scarcely less Important Is the proper ventilation of the build ings In which his stock are wintered. While the entrance of draughts and cold Is to ba .arefully prevented It should be borne In mind that domes ticated animals, like man himself, need fresh, whoesome air, and, If compelled by Ignorance or careless ness to breathe a foul, tainted atmos phere, It Is at a serious risk or health and consequent profit.

Thus fat tv.e farmers seem exceedingly apa thetic In taking up spraying, but tht Use of prices and probably the In creasing devastation occasioned by the Insect, will bring about, before many years, a different attitude on their part. The brown tall moth has been ex tremely abundant In the season Just closed. The warm, dry spring and early summer reduced his losses from climatic causes. The same Is doubt less true of the San Jose scale. The wood leopard moth, exceedingly diffi cult to combat successfully, because of Its attack upon the Internal part of the tree, seems to bo increasing rap idly.

The elm leaf beetle, widely distrib uted over the State, has not spread Its destruction with any even hand, but has exhibited a degree of locnl variation which calls for the scrutiny of an entomological - expert. The spring of 1903 witnessed a great In crease In the abundnnce of these pests, probably due to the dryness of May and June of that year. The leaves finally became so hard that the beetles could not eat them, and this. followed by a Bevere winter, resulted In a considerable diminution of the pest. This has been a year of Its revival. The new agricultural high schools of the State have an Important work before them In Impressing upon the farmers of the future the method of meeting these pests.

Drovers' Journal. The Feet and the Teeth. In considering the diseases to which horse flesh Is heir there are two things that should always be considered as of special Importance, the teeth and the feet. The average period of usefulness of the horse is curtailed several years by the inade quacy of the teeth. In most horses at the age of fifteen the teeth have become rough and uneven, and from, that time on the horse Is a hard keep-' cr, and the real cause Is not known by the owner. In buying horses the teeth and the feet should receive most careful examination. Ordinarily, In speaking of the feet of the horse, we mean the part Inclosed by the hoof wall. Looking at It from a stand point of comparative anatomy, the foot includes all below the knee and the hock. The artificial conditions under which the horse Is placed and the unusual demand exacted of htm result tn almost every case in dis eased conditions, which render him Incapable of doing the work be would otherwise do. Shoeing, which places him under artificial conditions, com bined with the hard roads, overwork and Improper feeding, soon produce inflammatory conditions which may result in side bones, ring bones, coffin Joint, lameness, cracks In the hoof wall, contracted heels and a great many more diseases too numerous to mention. In many cases the horse must be shod, but there certainly is far too much shoeing done. It Is sur prising how much work the horse can do under most conditions without shoes if he be brought gradually to the work, and a little care and Judg ment be exercised In this matter dur ing the first three or four years of tho colt's life. There are three things especially to be remembered If you wish to give this subject a llttle'extra thought. First, as long as you use horses that have weak or defective feet for breeding purposes just so long will you have horses with a pre disposition to these things and you will lose money on them accordingly; second, do less shoeing, a horse with fairly good feet will not need to be shod unless he be worked on the pavement, race track or In mountain ous districts; third, do not allow any horseshoer to use the buttress on the soles of the feet, nor tho rasp on the outside; do not leave the shoes on longer than four weeks without reset, ting. In substance, remember thnt the foot Is tho weakest part of the horse; that the Bervlce of the horse Is worth money to yf)u. Take good care of the horse's feet. O. H. Glover.

Without this, however, the cure Is Impossible, and no physician or medicine can be of any help. Tho happy-go-lucky dis positions of fat people, their tendency to regard their ailment lightly, cause them to look upon nothing seriously. to deny themselves nothing. These characteristics, which generally are rssponslble for their ailment, furnish the greatest .obstacles in the way of curing them.

That the oppor tunity afforded to men residing In the Bedford section to hear the Rev. Cortland Myers, pastor of the Bap tist Temple, was appreciated, was evident from the large audience which filled every part of the Associa tion Hall of the Bedford Branch of tho Y. M. C. A. Dr. Myers' theme, also, was popular, being: "Uncle Sam's Mark on the World." He said, among other thlnc3: f When I was asked to come here and tell you something of my recent tour around tho world It seemed an Impossibility, there was so much to be said.' Where shall a man begin or end? Well, we crossed this conti nent, which Is In Itself enough for one tour for any man; we visited the Hawaiian Islands, ouched at the Philippines, saw China, Japan, the Malay Islands, Burms.li. India, Cey. Ion; then through the Red Ssa, past Arabia, to Egypt, to Palestine for the second time, across the Mediter ranean, through Europe and Great Britain and finally home to America God's own country! The one thing that we noticed everywhere In the world was that there has been a tremendous nmount of progress, and that the progress of civilization has been greater in the last ten years than In the hundred years previous; and that the greatest element In this world-wide progress is the Influence of American Institu tions and Ideas. The eyes of the wholp world are turned to the Amer ican Republic, tho wjrld's purest and greatest democracy. The civilized natlcns of the earth are Interested In the things we have here, and they are saying: "We must have the same things as America; we must know the principles of tha American democ racy, and we must apply them to our own governments." In the past few years Japan has adopted and applied the principles of democratic government, and China has awakened and Is demanding the institution of democracy, and God only knows what Is going tn take place there. The Emnr?Es of China Is dead, and thank God she is, for, though she was a remarkable woman, worthy to be ranked with Catharine of Russia or Queen Elizabeth of Eng land in many respects, her policies have been dealing death blows to any chances for advancement which China may have had In the past. We do not know yet what the outcome will be, but, In the province of God, we believe that mighty and marvelous things are Boon to happen in that vast and ancient empire, and especially .In the next decade. Already the un heard of and well nigh Inconceivable thing has happened. As the result of what has transpired, the Chinese peo ple are demanding a constitution, and they will get It sooner or later It Is the same in India. Lord Mluto, the Governor-General of that colony, is writing back to England that ltf 250,000,0(0 natives are demanding representation and a greater share In the government of thelc land, and all the English newspapers azd period icals are talking about the possibility of a mutiny on the part of the Indian native army of 100,000 men. which will make Lucknow and the Seooy rebellion look like child's play. The watchword of the people is now "India for the Indians, with repre sentative and constitutional govern ment!" Persia has caught the spirit of the Western World and claniori for similar rights. The Turks, the Young Turks and all the "Turks are saying: "We will have constitutional government," and the Sultan knowj that they are going to have It, In spite of tho fact that his promises are not believed and his efforts to put it off aB long as possible. Now tbe greatest, the most potent Influence In all this world-wide agi tation for liberty and human rlghtt Is the American influence cf which 1 have spoken. When we were com ing through the Mediterranean, we met one of those Ignorant fellows on our ship who "know it all" and are constantly displaying thtMr Ignorance; and be said to me: "Have you seen that picture back of you on the wall? Well," be eontlnued. "that is the greatest and finest clubhouse tn the world! " His mother told him to Juai keep still, but be went on talkl: e about it, showing his Ignorance, till his mother Informed him that It was a picture of the home of. the Presi dent of tbe United States; then I had my turn and I said to them: "Vis that's right! That's the biggest club, house In the world; that's the ho.n? of the 'Big Stick.' " That "big stick' has had a wholesome Influence over the entire civilized world! My friends, the one great mark that Uncle Bam has put on this world and all around the planet Is the prin ciple of Individual responsibility. This Is the mark of civilization, and it 1b the mark, especially, of Christian civilization. The marls of heathenism is the clan, tbe tribe, the class, tbe family, the bunch; it puts a lot of heads together, and when It has them all together, they don't amount to much anyway; but tho mark of civil Izatlon Is the Individual man, hi rights and bis responsibilities. To the citizens of this country cf ours, Uncle Sara says: "You are citizen kings; you have A cown. wear it: you have a throne, climb u on it; your havo a scepter, wield "it; yon have an Individual responsibility, use it! " That is the glory, of a Christian civilization; that lies at the centre of it, and it reaches to the very core of tbe religious life of the citizen; that is the fountala-bead out of which all the streams of his life as a citizen must flow; It is a principle, more over, wblcb comes to us directly from the teachings of Jesus Christ, and a man's personal relation to Jesus Christ is what brings blm Into right relation to Ood. This Is tbe heart of the Gospel, and It Is tbe secret of the Christian civilizations of tbe world.' Jesus said. "It a man will do His will, be shall know of tbe doctrine." If you want to take the right path, you will not be long In learning what tbe right path is. Man's condition does not depend on the question of mer' ignorance, because every one kni,..., many times as much and better ilisn be puts into practice. It is a quastlon, rather, of tbe man's will. Now, follow me: Next to tbe omnipotence of God Is tbe will of man; the sovereign will of man Is the mightiest force In human life; It Is the absolutely fundamental power In personality, the executive of the Individual life. Every man is a small army of faculties, but the will Is the commander, the pilot that runs the ship, wbo can bring It safely through tbe stress of weather and wave tc Its destined harbor. The will Is the king on tbe throne of tbe soul! We are not led Into right relations to tton in our reitgicus itte tnrouen tne feelings or the Intellect; it is not what a man knows, or what he feels, but what he wills to be and do, that makes him a Christian and ft man! If you want something that is going to push you immediately up to the higher levels of life and give you a kingly attitude before God and man, listen to this: You are what your will is, not your knowledge or feel ings. At the Battle of Waterloo, both Napoleon and Wellington knew that the old farmhouse at Hougou mcnt was tho strategic point In" the conflict; whoever hld Hougoumont would win Waterloo! So a man wins moral rule over the world Just as he Is in possession of his will and Its conscious exercise. . To lose his will is to lose the most divine element in his nature; to lose It Is to be Insane. A friend of mine In good circum stances good enough to take me riding in his own carriage got the Wall 8treet fever; he presently sold out his business and went on the "Street;" but the "Street" soon sold him out! That's Wall Street's way. The man was beside himself. When I met him, he explained how it was. He said: "The one difficulty Is thit I have no will; I have lost my will, not my reason, not my love for my family, or n.y Interest In life, but my will!" I urged him to hold on, to attempt the exercise of choice; but it was of no help to him, and to-day he Is In an insane asylum, where he will probably remain for the rest of his life. So every man who has lost his will Is practically Insane, too; Just as every man who has the power to will has the power to win In the bat tles of life and assert his manhood under any circumstances. The true Christian Is the kingly man everywhere In the world, In Japan and America alike! When you begin to talk about a man, it is a question of his will, not of his Ignorance or his unbelief. If a man la not a Christian It is because he Is uuwilllng to give up sin. I will tell you although you know it your self.God knews It and the devil knows It your sin, something In your life you are unwilling to give up, alone keeps you from God; It Is something that lies deep down In your heart, and you don't want to drop it out. If a man has the habit of sinning he may become so used to it that he sins mechanically, and may cease to regard it as sin. If religion is to be real and practical, a man muse say "I will I will give up my sin!" Tbe second thing I want to talk about is. "Unwillingness to do God's Will." When you know the will of God you begin to see the hldeousness of sin, and you will curse the hour thnt ycu turned your heart away from God and good; yon will wish you had never seen the vision or His love. Think of the grand message oi God to man, of Its beauty, of Its ten derness, and you'll wish you never tad seen the vision cf It at all unless you turn from your sin. Here it is: "Whotoever will, may coma." "If a man will, he nay take of tho Water of Life." And the most pathetic words Jesus ever uttered are these: "Ye will not come unto Me that ve might have Life!" Oh, how black is sin when it will draw forth such words from the Son of God. . When you left the wife and the home, and went away to meet sin, you put your foot out and crushed the beautiful flower of the Father's love! We think of such a case; Bhe told us of It hdr3elf. -I had married them myself. She was a beautiful Christian girl: but be bad gone away to sin, and bad come home again and damned her whole physical life. I do not think there Is a hot enough corner In hell for that man who is willing tu wreck the soul of wife aad child and taint their blood with the conse quences mt his sin! In closing, let me speak to you of the highest and holiest experience In my life. One Sunday afternoon some months ego I was tn Jerusalem, with leisure to do as I pleased for ten days cr more. So I went through thn Damascus Gate that day. and climbed to the crown of Calvary, that green hill outside 'the wall of the city. There I read tbe whole story of re deeming love, prayed ovei it, wept over it; then I went to tho foot of the Mount of Olives and Into the Garden of Gethsemane, where, to my delight, I found myself alone. From thence I passed down the Damascus Road along which they brought my Lord, and through the gate once more Into the city, and over the Via Dolor osa to Pilate's Judgment Hall. In Imagination, I saw the soldlers'brlng Him before His Judge, followed by the priests and city rabble: and I heard their voices demanding HIb crucifixion, though Pilate said, "I find no fault in Him at all! I heard them clamor for the release of Bar abbas, and saw Pilate surrender Hit., the King of Glory, to their cruel will. Barabbas they freed; but Jesus they crucified on Calvary! This is the enestlon before you men to-day: ".l3sus or Barabbas" holiness or sin! Every man who turns his back to-day on Jesns Christ takes Barabbas and lives in bis sin!

EXPOSITION I. The Disciples Filled With the Holy Spirit, 1-4. The disciples bad been bidden not to de part from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, the bap tism with the Holy Spirit (ch. 1:4. 5). They had faithfully obeyed this command. After the ascension of Jesus they had returned at once to Jerusalem (1:12) to wait God's time and God's blessing. The following days had been spent largely in pray er (1:14). Those were not wasted days. More was accomplished in the ultimate outcome than If they had spent those days fn preaching. Though "they continued steadfastly" In pray er (1:14, R. V.) the entire time was not spent in prayer (ch. 1:15-26; Luke 24;53). There was absolute unity In their prayer. It was "with one accord." Their minds were all united In one thing, "the promise of the Father," the baptism with the Holy Spirit (Lu. 11:13: Ac. 4:31: 8: 15-17). They did not regard the pos itive promise of Christ (1:5) as re lieving them from the necessity of prayer, but as an incentive to and a foundation-for prayer. The women were there as well as the men-(ch. 1:14). Ten dnvs passed without an answer. The day of Pentecost, the day of "first fruits," the gathering of the church fl.ev. 23:16-21) came at last. Not till that day could the Holy Snlrlt be given. Now that Pen tecost has come no one nepds wait ten rtavs for the baptism with the Holy Spirit. There Is no record of any wait ing since Pentecost fsee ch. 4.31: 8: 15-17: 9:17-22: 10:44: 19:1-6). The bantlsm with the Snlrlt In every be liever's birthright through the cru cified, risen and ascended Christ (vs. .13, 29), and the moment the condi tions nre fulfilled this bleRslnc will Lb9 ours. If we have to wait, the dlf f ficiiity Is with us, and not with God. It is because we have not met the conditions. The dlsrtnles seemed to have been exnactlng the promise that VerV dav. thev were "together In nn place" (R. V.). It was at or before 9 In the mornlni (v. 15). They were of one accord (cf. 1:13, 14; 2:46: 4:24. 32: 6:12).' This unity doubt less bad much to do with the bestow, al of the gift, and the absence of this unity has much to do with the failure of many churches to-dav to receive it. The blessing came "suddenlv" at the last (cf. ch. 16:25, 26; Mai. 3:1; Luke 2:13). There was not a mo ment's warning. There was a roar as of a hurricane. Emphasis is laid upon the fact that this sound came from heaven. It is wind "from heav en" we need. We have too much wind of another sort. On another occasion the place where they even gathered together iwas .shaken (ch. 4:31). This sound "filled all tbe bouse." The disciples were "sitting," not kneeling ,ln prayer as they are so often repre sented. There was not only "wind" from heaven, but fire as well (cf. Matt. 3:11; Is. 4:4; Jer. 23:29). The fire was In the form of tongues, the new power was to manifest itself in a tongue of fire granted to them (v. 4). The tongues parted asunder (R. V.) or portioned themselves out to "each one of them." Peter only Is made prominent in the story tbat fol lows, but each one of them received a tongue of fire. The tongues of fire , rested upon the women as well as tinon tne men let. also vs. 17. 18). The blessing was not to the church as a body, but to "each one of them" as individuals. "They were all filled with tbe Spirit." This is a fulfillment if eh. 1:6,, So the expressions "filled with the Spirit" and "bantlzed with the Spirit" are practically synony mous. Tbe expression used here brings out the thought that tbe Holy Snlrlt takes complete possession cf :he faculties. The immediate result was thev "began to speak with other tongues" (cf. ch. 10:46; 19:6). II. Tho Multitude Amazed, 5-11. The noise of the wind from heaven was heard by the multitudes without (v. 6. R. V.). They rushed together to f nd out what it meant. The multi tudes always gather when, the Spirit :omes upon God's people. - The disci ples began to speak' ft them of the mighty works of God. Each one heard them speaking in bis own lan zuage. Tbe effects were startling and rarious. They were "confounded," 'amazed," they "marveled" and 'were perplexed." Some thought tbe lisclples were drunk. Others "gladly received the word," and were bap tized. The conversions were very numerous and very thorough (vs. 6, 7. 12, 13, 37. 41, 42, 44. 45). Simi lar and equally varied effect follow tn-day when men and women are filled with the Holy Spirit and speak sb the Spirit gives them utterance. These Spirit-Oiled men and women lid not talk much about themselves, but about "the mighty works of Ood" (v. 11). The mighty work of God that they especially emphasized was His raising Jesus Christ from the dead (vs. 24, 32). The Spirit-filled' man Is quite likely to be much occu pied with the resurrection of Christ (cf. ch. 3:15: 4:8. 10. 81, 83). That some attributed tbe state of the disci ples to intoxication Is not strange, for the effect of both wine and of the Snlrlt is to stimulate, one unnatur r"y. tie other lupernaturally- DOLLY AND I SAW BEARS. -Ono afternoon In September my dolly and I took a walk to Nay Aug Park.

Men that live for temporalities are like a young fellow who was to be crowned king in a few minutes, but was found on the floor playing jack-stones. EPWDBTH LEAGUE LESSONS 8UNDAY, JANUARY 10. For Us Who Are Lost Matt. 1: 21; Eph. 1: 7; Acts 4: 12. Matt 1. 21. The name "Jesus" means "Savior." It Is a Greek form. The word "Joshua" was the Hebrew word hav ing the same meaning, and we think of Joshua, in leading tbe Is raelltlsh people into the Promised Land, as a type of the Christ who was to come. The name "Christ," as gen erally given to our Lord, means "anointed," and is especially appro priate to him as Son of David. "Christ" Is his title as Prophet, Priest and King, for all these were anointed on entering upon their office. But "Jesus" is the precious name by which he comes to us personally. He la our Savior. Eph. 1. 7. In Jesus we have "redemption." He gains for us our release from sin from Its awful stain upon our lives, and from the thraldom in which it holds us. Sin Is a slavery. We know what suffering and struggle, what martyrdoms and wars, have been necessary to release men from human slavery systems. But we cannot ful ly know what It meant to the Son of Ood, our Savior, to take upon him self all the suffering and sorrow for a sinning world and, alone, to bear them on his cross. "We have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sin, according to the riches of his grace." Acts 4. 12. Tbe preacher here is Peter. Tbe fisherman Sis clplo has been restored to bis loving Christ on the shores of Galilee, and has become a man of power, Spirit-filled at Pentecost In spired of the Holy Ghost, Peter ut ters now the clear, unconfused truth which from that day to this has been tbe sufficient answer to all the "isms," theories, "sciences," and - moralities which would protend to save from sin except through faith in the redeeming blood of Christ. "Neither Is there any other name under heaven." For the salvation of 4s who are lost it muBt be Jesui only Jesus!- HONEY H0AUD LURED BEAR TO ITS DEATH.

A Wife's Testimony Snd Story of How a Mnn of llrllllnnt Scholar , ship Was Brought Low by Drink -Sacrificed Family and Position. A Chicago dally paper, under glar ing headlines of consplcuouj size, re cently published to the world that a man of brilliant scholarship and high talent bad been brought low by liq uor. Out of reBpect for his noble wife and household we do not give the name. It may be sufficient to note that be was at one time principal of one of our largest and best public schools of New York State. Through drink he had sacrificed everything and left nothing. In defense of her own life, his fifteen-year-old daughter had to deal her father a blow which proved fatal. In giving testimony the broken hearted wife and mother spoke as fol lows: "Twenty yearn ago he was a stu dent In Columbia Unlvtrslty In New York, and It was f-ire I met him snd admired him for h's brilliant accom plishments In tb- "ollege. I was then a debutante In the social world and bad a home I v as "roud of.

We were happy, and our daughter came and we thought nothing could mar our happiness. "But adversity came following In the trail of his appetite for drink, formed at the Jolly college banquets. He lost bis position and we moved away from our former associations to bide our shame. We came to Chicago and he became a common laborer, working In the shops of the street railway companies." Is it not sad that a civilized nation will accept revenue from the sale of tbat which produces such results?. Surely one such case should be suf ficient to arouse public attention and action. Multiply this c-.se by the hundred thousand annr.ally and ob serve the awful augmentation of na tional culpability. Blackstone, tho eminent Jurist, has well said: "Municipal law 1b a rule of, civil conduct prescribed by the su preme power of the State, command ing what is right and prohibiting what is wrong." The Supreme Court of the United States In Stone vs. Mis sissippi, 101 U. S., 814-819, has de clared: "No legislature can bargain away the public health or the public morals." We would like to know, then, what right any State has to en ter into an arrangement whereby cer tain persons shall be allowed to in jure public health and morals, in or der to increase tbe contents of the treasury. National Advocate. A store of honey lured a big bear to his death, at Oreely. Pike County, Pa. In a shack there live eight wood choppers employed by the Pennsyl vania Coal Company, who are getting out new props for the mines. Two of them ran across a bee tree a few days ago and took nearly 100 pounds of honey from It. They kept the honey in their storeroom, a rough built wing of their shack, and valaed It highly because tbey could exchange boney for tobacco at the Greely store. Much puffing and grunting, a con glomerate rumpus In the storerrom awoke the eight men at 11 o'clock at nlgbt A bear bad got In by tearing off two pieces of aiding, bad over turned the honey barrel and was en Joying the feast of Its life. In truth, as John Matthlson aald afterwards: "Tbe bear was making a pig of blm. elf." Matthlson, with a flaring torch, scared tbe bear from the storeroom. As It shuffled through the opening It bad made. It mot tbe other seven men armed with their axes. The bear never bad a chance.

One Oline Pet ers was last week sent to the work house to serve a thirty-day sentence for being beastly drunk. It appears to have been a continuous perform ance. He left behind a wife and five little children to "drink the cup of sorrow. His two oldest children, "a girl of nine and a boy ot seven, were down with scarlet fever. With her two children sick with a contagious disease and her three other little ones also subject to contagion, the little mother could not leave her borne. She waited until the last mo ment before calling upon charitable folks for aid; when the nurse from the Salvation Army entered the bare little houBe, she found tbat the fami ly had neither fuel nor provisions. In the same city, on the same day, the Humane Society found four chil dren under five years old, and their mother so 111 with quinsy the neigh bors feared she would die during the night, and no fire in tbe two little rooms in which they live. The hus band was being kept gloriously drunk In a saloon. Yes, Brother Voter, this Is a para ble of the saloon and how it makes a home a hell. Central Christian Ad vocate. The Appeal to the Farmer.
