Those of us who depend upon "paper memories," as lists and memorandums are scornfully called by those who can remember without their aid, can appreciate this story, told at the expense of a certain justice of the peace, who lived years ago in a Massachusetts town : He carried about with him a slip of paper on which was written the brief marriage form which he used when called upon to unite a pair in the bonds of matrimony. He never trusted himself to begin the ceremony without reference to this document. " J - ???? ?! foil-In o noicrVl. une aay, ai ? wuui^ mn >u ? UV.B.. boring town, he was approached by an elderly couple, who expressed their wish to be married then and there. After some conversation the "squire" agreed to perform the ceremony on the spot, and the three, accompanied by a grown-up daughter of the man and a sister of the prospective bride, stepped into a convenient horse shed. There the "squire" began a fruitless search for the important paper, growing more and more perturbed as each succeeding pocket played him false. At last he abandoned the search. "Are you willing to marry this woman ?" he asked the man, who replied with a prompt "Yes." "And you want to marry him ?" asked the justice, turning to the bride. "I do," said she, with promptness equal to the bridegroom's. "Then," said the "squire," in his imnrpssive tone. "I hereby pro nounce you married, according to the memorandum left at home in my other trousers' pocket." Two Thouthand Pigth.?An exchange has a comical story about a man who had a peculiar lisp, and had bought some swine, applied to a neighbor for the loan of a pigpen, when the following conversation ensued : "Mitheth Young, I have bought two thowth and pigth, and want to put them in your pen till tomorrow." "Why Mr. Fisher, my pen will not hold a twentieth part of them ; what in the world are you going to do with two thousand pigs?" "Understand me, madam ; I don't thay two thouthand pigth, but two thowth and pigth." "I hear you! Two thousand pigs for one family ! The man is certainly crazy." "Mitheth Young, I tell you again I don't mean two thouthand pigth ; but two thowth and two pigth." "Oh?oh?Mr. Fisher, that's what you mean. Certainly my pen is at your service, neighbor. He Didn't Die.?"Why, Patrick, you seem to be in deep distress this morning?has anything happened ?" "Och, yes, then, indeed, yer honor, an' it's a great deal that has happened." "indeed! What is it, Patrick? what's the matter ?" "Well, you see, yer honor, you knowBarney, and that's my brother, was taken very bad yesterday in his stomach like, that he was dhrawed up well nigh double, yer honor, an' turned all manner of colors, an' they sint for the praist, an' thin they sint for the docthur?an' faith an' I think they'd better a sint for the docthur first?an' the praist he did?an' I don't know what it was he did tell him, an' the docthur he gave him laudlum, an' then presently he went to shlape, an'?" "And he died, Patrick ?" "No, faith, an' he didn't die, for he was ashlape when he died." What He Was Looking For.?A tramp applied for food at the house of a suburban agriculturist recently, and while he was eating the rations that had been furnished at his solicitation, be was asked: "Why do you not go to work ?" ' "I have looked long for a place that would suit me," he replied, "but have never found it." "Is there not plenty of work at farming?" asked the interrogator. "Oh, yes," said the tramp, "plenty of it; but you see, sir, I want to find a vineyard where a man who goes in at the eleventh hour is the first to come out and draw a tun oay g wages. In the olden times they dealt fairly by a man. That is the New Testament treatment, and that is what I am looking for. At the close of his meal he started again in pursuit of that coveted agricultural opportunity. Impatient.?An impatient Welchman called to his wife, "Come, come, isn't breakfast ready ? I've had nothing since yesterday, and tomorrow will be the third day !" This is equal to the call of the stirring housewife who aroused her maid at 4 o'clock, "Come, Mary, get up! Here 'tis Monday morning; tomorrow is Tuesday, the next day's Wednesday?half the week gone and nothing done yet!" MS" Hicks?"I suppose you believe everything a woman tells you." Wicks?"That depends.

Young Man?"Well, all I've got to say is that you don't know a good thing when you see it." VST A shipwrecked sailor said they were out of provisions in an open boat for 20 days. "How did you live ?"

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. < LESSON VIII, THIRD QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, AUG. 21. ? rext of the Lesson, II Kings v, 1-14. | Memory Verses, 13, 14 ? Golden Text, { Jer. xvii, 14 ? Commentary by the Rev. D. M. Stearns. S 1. "Now Nnnman, captain of the host ( at the king of Syria, was a great man with bis master and honorable." Tho verse 8 ...i? ?.?* ?.im ,v.a r ?UU3 uii LU wjii >vujr, uuu mvu iajv sad statement that m was a leper. The t Word of God from beginning to ond reveals t Sod to us working in and through and for ] His people and for all who are willing to ( receive His mercy. Even by those who do , cot know Him Ho somotimes works as in * this caso, delivering Syria by Naaman. 1 All the great and honorable men of Scrip- 1 turo, such as' Boaz, the mighty man of t wealth (Ruth ii, 1); Mordecai, who was t great among the .Tews (Est. x, 3), and others lead the believer to say with heart- t felt gratitude, "I know a greater and t more honorable than all others, and He . :an heal even lepers." 2. "Brought away captive out of the 8 land of Israel a little maid, and she wait- t sd on Naaman'8 wife." Thus did the 6 Syrians with God's permission, but what t about the little maid's father and mother, and what about her own poor little heart? t It Is very evident that God does not always seek the comfort of His people, but ? He does always seek the highest good, and ^ the greatest eternal glory of each one. * Consider Joseph and Daniel, etc. r 8. "Would God my lord were with the c prophet that is In Samaria! For ho would ^ recover him of bis leprosy." But for the c love of God manifested through the little s maid we might never have had the 6tory }f Naaman. Tho faithfulness of the little boy Samuel and of this little girl are great t lessons for all boys and girls. Jesus at c the ago of 12 was about His Father's bu6i c ess, and it is the business of all who know j Him to make Him known to others. t 4. "Thus and thus said the maid that is j Df the land of Israel." So said one to the king, and thus the message of the little 1 maid is passed on to headquarters, even c the words of a little boy or girl are worth I being passed on and will accomplish (sod's j pleasuro if they concern Him or His serv- j ints who live unto Him. He will use any r vessel that is willing to bo usod by Him that He may bo glorified. ^ * 5. "And the king of 6yrla said, Go to, go and I will spud a letter unto tho king 1 jf Israel." So Naaman departed, taking * is a present 10 talents of silver, 6,000 t pieces of goldandten changcsof raiment. Sod gave His Son freely and with mm Freely all things (Rom. ill, 24; vlli, 82). T-hose do not know Him who think to buy g His gifts, neither do those know Him as they should who bring Him no thank offering. 0. "Now, when this letter Is come unto t thee, behold I have therewith sent Naa- 4 man, my servant, to thee, that thou may- 8 jst recover him of his leprosy." Our mes- 8 sages for God often get twisted and per- t verted by those who hear them, but God ] will somehow acoom.plisb His pleasure. ? It is not for us to worry if we have acted j according to Jer. ssiii, 26. The little girl * bad said that the prophet, not the king, would do.it. J 7. "Am I God, to klH and to make ' alive, that this man doth send unto me to t recover a man of his leprosy?" Thus said 1 the king of Israel when he had road the e letter and imagined that the king of Syria g sought to quarrel with him. Truo, he ^ was not able either to kill or make alive, . but he should have known the God of . Israel and His servants, the prophets, and 1 bave been able to point people to the one * anly living and true God. t 8. " Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? J Let him now come to me, and be shall r know that there is a prophet in I-sraol." j Thus sent Elisha to the king when he , beard that the king had rent his clothes. ^ Here is a man conscious of the fact that 1 be is on earth for God and that God is ^ with him. He has seen the power of God r In thedivklingof the waters, the healing of i the waters and in the miraculous supply of water, in the increase of the oil, the i raising of the Shunamite's son and the ' bealing of the pottage. He knows God and feete free to expect whatever will c glorify Him. 9. "So Naaman come with his horses and ti with his ehnriot and stood at the door of c the house of Elisha." A wonderful sight \ truly to be seen at a poor man's door-! It makes ustbink of the time when all kings shall fall down before Him.whom Ellshn served, when every high thing shall bo brought down and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day (Ps. kcxii, 11; Isa. ii, 11). 10. "Go and wash in Jordan aoven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean." Thus said the messenger whom Etlsha sent to the door, for Elisha thought k not'necessary to go himself. He stood like Elijah before Sod and oonsiderod no greatness that was Dot of God. 11. "But Naaman was wroth and went away and said, Bcbokl, I thought he will 3urcly come out Do me." Nauman had it all planned in his own-mind just how it ought to be done, for was not he a great and honorable man and did ho not deserve to be bonorod before his soldiers and by this Israelite? Was he not prepared to pay well for all he got and was this any kind of a way to treat such' as he? His pride would Dot stand it, and he wont away in a raga 12. "Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?" The water might be as good or possibly better for some purposes, e but they weuo Hot God's way for his a sleansing. Cain's fruits were probably j much rnoie attractive than Abel's bloody Ininh. hut thev wore m>t God's way. Good ~ works and a good moral character are very beautiful and all right in their place, but they are not God's way of cleansing tbo leprosy of sin, and therefore'of no avail. 18. "How much ratbor thon when he saith to thee, Wash and bo clean?" His servants, wiser than he, thus reasoned with him that he would gladly do some great thing, and why not this simple thing? There are many who would give much money and do many so called good works If thus thoy oould ba saved, but simply to receive Christ and depeDd wholly upon Him and to have all their righteousness oount for nothing is too humiliating for some people, aiul tbey wlM not submit (Horn, x, 8). 14. "Then went he down and dipped bimself seven times ln*Jordan, according to the saying of the men of God, and his Sesh came again like unto the flesh of a " little ofalld, and he was oiean." He oertainly was not worthy, but he was obedient, and be was cleaned. There is no othjr way but God'B way (Aots lv, 12), and ill, without exception, who aocept the way (John xiv, 6) are made clean (John till. 10; Rev. 1, 6, fr; I Cor. vl, 11; Lsa. i, 1 18).

THE ROUND ROBIN. )rlgin of the Term?The People at Santiago Perhaps a Little Rattled. , Richmond Dispatch. ] The protest of the American officers j it Santiago against our army's being ] cept there any longer is spoken of by ' he dispatches as "a round robin." J And so it is for all practical purpo- ( ies, though we suppose it is not so in t :xact form. As we understand it, a { ound robin is a petition or remou- 1 itrance signed in such a way that no lame heads the list. The signatures ire placed in circular form. The diciionaries tell us that the device is of French origin, and that the term is a iorruption of rond (round) and rudan ribbon.) It was first adopted by the >fficer8 of the French government as a neans of making known their grievinces, without disclosing the leader in he movement. We doubt if the officers who signed he Santiago remonstrance took the rouble to sign their names as the frenchmen did.' Quite probably they tigned the paper just as they would ; lave done had it been one calling upon r i man to run for congress, or begging | he executive to pardon a murderer. However, it was important action? ixtreme action. It shows that the irmy officers?seemingly led by Roosevelt?are in conflict of opinion with be war office, and it threw all the esponsibility for the further detention " >f Shatter's army in Cuba upon the var office. The result is that the war < iffice has had to back down and order v Shatter's army to Long Island, N. Y. It looks very much indeed as though here were a panicky feeling among ?ur men at Santiago. We presume the leath-rate from fevers is increasing, j ind that the men think they would be i letter off in this country than in the { lill country around Santiago. That i nay be so ; but there are those who { loubt it. None but well men can be ] irudently put aboard the transports, 1 vet should the yellow fever break out imong them before they land, the : nortality would probably be very i ;reat. However, the. round robin has de- i fVio nnootinn Khutt.fir's ftrmV ^ vill return to this country, and im- j nunes (socalled) will take their places, j + J IN COUNTIES ADJOINING. j ummary of the News That Is Being Pub- ( llshed by Exchanges.
