Mr. Ilanna's post-tlectlon state
ment of bis attitude on the question
of the presidential nomination should
be conclusive to those who have
persisted in pulling bis name forward
for that honor. At a time when the
eyes of the country were centered
upon him more than any other one
man, by reason of his overwhelming
victory in Ohio, he quietly and
positively reiterated his announce
ment that lie would not be a candi
date for tiie presidency.

The bunting season opens In New

every hunter ha li gun In working

too frequent the past week, and the
large amount of game that will be
brought in the first day of hunting
will substantiate that fact.
Com husking is making rapid
progress nnd this week will see most
of it in the crib. The yield is the
poorest in years, and it will be some
thing of a rarity to see a crib chuck
full this fall.

I am told by one of our freeholders
that the new -road will be completed

The extra meetings at Layton
closed the pfst week and our sinners

The remarks of Prof. Koehler at
your recent institute on Written
Test Work are only too true. Pupils
using pencil and tablet writing
out their work are only too apt to
disregard correct formation of letters
and consequently become poor writ
ers. This habit may cling to them
through life and this habit of rapid
writing gets worse as time goes on.
To receive a nicely written letter
correctly spilled and punctunted Is
the exception more than the rule.
The remarks in the Press of last
week in regard to sensational 6torles
of the Bevan murder are pertinent.
Our press is printing much that is
detrimental to the accused and will
have an effect to prejudice the" public
mind! Every accused Is presumed to
be innocent until proven guilty.

Isaac display fuith? How was the

8:56.) Cliapter 23: Death nnd

how scant wns Abrahani'o earthly

24 : A Wife Sought for Isaac.
Abraham wished his Bon to marry
in his own tribe. Why? Who act

(v 30 and 53 ) Isaac according to

agrees with Matt. JO: 38. What
fear possessed the demon whom
Jesus cast out? .Do demons control
men today? Note the last cruel
fling of enmity v 35. Why does
God Buffer Satan and his followers
to work mischief? Note in v 38
that Simon Peter was a married

Christ's sermon notice the number

have heard that it was said." Note
the letter of the law but the spirit
of it Is emphasized by Jesus.

The subject of "election" is treated
in chapter 9. Because of the faith,
fulness of many Israelites the elec

protests his loyalty to all Israelite.

distinction between yrorldly and

tiou of vessols of wrath v 22, exal
tation of vessols of meroy v 23,

quire faith for salvation? Will good
works tave anybody? Chnptor 10
further discusses how the - Gentiles
found salvation. Note difficult
verses for discussion in class.
That continual whirring noise Is
simply the wind whistling through

This would leave only the senate as a

take such chances.

A child of Mrs. George T. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday
night bath, stepping baok against a
hot stove which burned hiun severe
ly. The child was in great agony
and his mother oould do nothing to
pacify him. Remembering that she
had a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm In the house, she thought she
would try it. In less than half an
hour after apply It the child was
quiet and asleep, and in less than
two -weeks was well. Mrs. Benson
is a well known resident of Kollar,
Va. Pain Balm is an antiseptic,
liuimeut and especially valuable for
burns, cuts, bruises and sprains. For

The report of the commissioner of
the general land ofliee just issued
shows that during the last fiscal year
2,(100,028 acres of public lands were
taken up by private Individuals.
The.se enormous figures, taken In
connection with the current reports
of wholesale land stealing In the
west should cause the country to call
a halt on this rapid disposal of the
public domain, especially when It is
shown that but little of it goes ot
create actual homes.
The Best Remedy for Croup

This is tha season when the wo
man who knows the best remedies
for croup is iu demand in every
neighborhood. One of the uiobt ter
rible things in the world is to be
awakened in the middle of the night
by a whoop from one of the children.
The croup remedies are utmost as
sure to bo lost, in case of croup, as a
revolver is sure to be lost in case of
burglars. There used to be an old.
fashioned remedy for croup, known
as hive Byrup aud tolu, but some
modern mothers say that Chamber.
Iain's Cough Keuiedy is better, and
docs not cost so much. It causes the
patient to "throw up the phlegm"
quicker, and fcivn relief in a kliortor

will prevent the attack. It never
