will have to abide by the provi

Among other require.nents every
-candidate, immediately after the
election, must file an itemized
statement under oath showing all
money spent during the election.
In at least one county the filing
of such a statement has been
required before, but only accord
ing to the rule of the county
oexecutive committee, but it was
incorporated into the State law at
the 1905 session of the legisla
ture.

tpezness in Character. 1
One mark is beauty. Ripe
fruit has its own perfect beagity.
As the fruit ripens, the sun tints i
it with surpassing loveliness, and
the colors deepen till the beauty
of thae fruit is equal to the beauty ,
of .the blssm and in some re
spects syperor There is in
Christians the beagty oi raalig~ed
san~tification, which .the word of
God knows by the name of "beauty
of holiness." Another mark of ripe
fruit is tenderness. The young,
gceg fruit is hard and stonelike.
Another er of ripeness is
sweetness. The M~wip frnit is
sour. As we grow in graw as
are sure to grow in charity ,
syapathy and love. We shall, as
we ripen in grace, have greatert
sweetness tward1 others. a
Those who are quin toQ censured
may be very acute in judgment1
but they ara as yet immature fui
beat. But when our virtues be
oio giore mature, I trust we
shall be sc~a tolerant of infirmity,
more hopeful for the people of
God, and certainly less' a&mentI
in our criticisms.
Aniother and very sure m~rk of
ripeness is a loose hold of earth.
Ripe fruit easily parta frrmi the
stem.-Spurgeon.

THEY SKINNED THE HOG.
Ar. Gilbert Tells of How He and a
Comrade becured Fleat to Supple
ment Their Corn Rations.
It was during the winter cam
)aign in East Tennessee in 1862
73 and our regiment (the old (th)
was on the march from Knoxville,
lenn., to Richmond, Va. We
aad gone into winter quarters at
Norristown. Rations were very,
;carce during this winter; also
.lothing. For some time our
-ation was one ear of corn per
lav to the man. This we pre
)ared for eating by shelling it
nto an oven and pounding it into
L coarse hominy, for we were too'
lungry to take up much time in
ts preparation. I recall one
nowy day, while in these winter
luarters, when the snow was
mnee deep on the ground and the
nen had absolutely nothing to
at in their haversacks, one of my
omraces (William R. Garrison)
md myself went up into the
nouutains in search of food, or
ts we then expressed it, "we C
vent foraging." We were both
n bad plight for marchiug over J
he rough mountains covered with
ee and snow, our feet being tied I
ip with rags to hold our wornout
Ioes together and keep our feet
rom freezing. We hunted a long
ime and could find no animal or
eat fur a distance of more than 2
ive miles. At last in joyful sur
)rise we came acros a sow and ]
our niee shoats. They were
iw-ar the owner's house, but some
'old ieb" must have been after
hew before, for just as they
pied us the shoats began tU ]
'buff, buff," and made for the
ouse; but the old sov was not so
y, or too poor and weak to run.
Ve thought it "neek or nothing,"
od %%e soon had lr skin off- A
