tumorous Jjepartmcnt. Hit Him Back.?A certain famous English general, the hero of two Eastern wars, found his health beginning to give way beneath the strain of long and arduous service, and was ordered home by his doctors. On the day of his embarkment for England he was accompanied by a vast crowd of friends, to whom he began to distri bute various small tokens of his regard. "Well, general," asked the bishop of Calcutta, who was one of the party, "have you no memento to leave to a:i old friend like me?" "Oh, I have not forgotten you, my lord," cried the general. "On the contrary, I have bequeathed to you my entire stock of impudence." "Ten thousand thanks, my dear general," replied the undaunted bishop. "You have given me by far the largest and most valuable part of your property." And then the bishop's wife turned to her husband and said sweetly, "My dear. I am glad to *see that you have come into your legacy so soon." Easily Earned.?An election petition was being tried and a witness p was called to prove "bribery." "One of the gentlemen says to me: 'Hodge, you must vote for the Tories,' " said the witness. "And what did you answer to that?" asked the counsel. 'TTall bovs T? 'How much?' " "And what did the agent say?" "He didn't say nothin'. The other gentleman comes to me and says: 'You must vote for the Liberals, Hodge.' " "And what did you answer?" "I said: 'How much?' So he arst me what the other gentleman offered, and I told him five shillings." "And what did the Liberal agent do?" "He gave me ten." Counsel sits down triumphant and up starts the other side. "Did you vote for the Liberals?" "No." "Did you vote the Tories?" "No; I ain't got a vote."?London Spare Moments. Alphabetical Abuse.?The prosecuting attorney in a lawsuit had waxed especially indignant at the defendant, whom he characterized as an "abandoned, baneful, cynical, diabolic, execrable, felonious, greedy, hateful, irresponsible, jaundiced, knavish, lazy, meddlesome, noxious, outrageous and profligate rowdy." "The learned counsel on the other side," said the attorney for the defendant, when he rose to reply, "should have put his adjectives in a hat and shaken them up a little before using.

He stopped at "p," but in his manner of reproducing them he has given us the 'cue' as to how he got them." This turned the laugh against the other lawyer, and he lost the case.? London Tit-Bits. An Unfortunate Deduction.?Sergeant Kelly, of the Irish Bar, in the early years of the 19th century, used to indulge in a picturesque eloquence, racy of the soil, but unfortunately he would sometimes forget the line of argument and would always fall back on the word "therefore." which generally led his mind back to what he had intended saying. Sometimes, however, the effect was almSst disastrous. One time he had been complimenting the jury, assuring them that they were men of extraordinary intelligence, and then branched off into a statement of his case. With a wave of his hand and a smile on his face he proceeded: "This is so clear a case, gentlemen, that I am convinced you felt so the very moment I stated it. I should pay men of Intelligence a poor compliment to dwell on it for a minute, therefore I shall proceed to explain it to you as minutely as possible."?Green Bag. tiT Counsel?I insist on an answer to my question. You have not told me all the conversation. I want to know everything that passed between you and Mr. Jones on that occasion to which you refer.

LESSON VI, THIRD QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, AUG. 11. Text ot the Leaaon, Gen. xt, 1-18. Memory Vcrsea. 5-7?Golden Text. Gen. xt, 1?Commentary Prepared by the Rev. D. M. Steamn. rCoi>vriebt. 1901. by American Press Association.] 1. "After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abrain in a vision." Among the "these things" must be included the Melchisedek story of the previous chapter which the Holy Spirit considered of such importance that He speaks of it and its relation to Christ in Ps. ex and in Heb. v, vi and vii. Let no teacher therefore pass it by. Note the new name of Deity "the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth," and consider its use elsewhere. The blessing of Him who owns all things enables us to rise above the temptation to look at or long for the thiugs or the help of this world. All believers, as children of Abrara. must not fail to give nt least the tithes to our Melchisedek. Note the suggestivenoss^of the bread and wine. We have in our lesson today a good many words and phrases used for the first time, such as "the word of the Lord," "fear not," "shield." "reward," "believed," "righteousness." etc.. and as the first use of u word helps us to understand its significance, we have a most important lesson. "The word of the Lord" may refer to the message which came to Abram or {4. *? tl*A nwioonn rrs\r* fViA T ,Al'/1 Himself (John i. 1; Rev. xix, 13). When we rend the word of God, we must accept the messnges as specially for us. This first "fear not" takes us to the many other similar words in this precious book, among which these have been and are a great help, Isa. vii, 4; xli, 10, 13; xliii, 1; Joel ii. 21: Mark v, 3G. 2, 3. "And Abrain said, Lord God. what wilt Thou give me, seeing I go childless?" He reminded God that he was still childless and seemed to wonder how and when the promised seed would come. His faith was still weak, but growing. Faith cometh by hearing the word of God (Rom. x, 17), and the more of His word we hear and receive the more faith we will have. In the New Testament record the failings are omitted, and only the mighty faith is seen. So when our story is finished it shall be seen that the precious blood has put away all that was of us. and therefore sinful, and only that which was wrought in us by God shall be seen. Note Heb. xi. 8-19: Rom. iv. 18 21. 4-G. "And he believed in the Lord, and He counted it to him for righteousness."' Abram is assured that his heir shall not be any one merely born in his house, but shall be his very own child, whom heaven shall in due time give him. EIow suggestive the words "Look now toward heaven!" This should be the attitude of every believer at all times, never relying upon an arm of flesh nor upon any human device, but upon the Lord alone. The record of the next chapter had never been if Abram had persisted in looking heavenward. In last lesson we noticed the promise that his seed should be as the stars,and its probable significance. Abram received the word. Literally he amen'd God or said amen to God. The Holy Spirit has noticed this three times in the New Testament (Rom. iv, 3. 21. 22; Gal. iii, G: Jas. ii, 23) and strongly emphasizes this great truth, that the righteousness which God requiretb can never become ours by any works of ours, but only by faith in Jesus Christ (Rom. iv. 5; Enh. ii. 8. 9: Titus, iii. 5). 7. "I am the Lord." That should settle everything and dispel every fear. Notice how it begins and ends the seven great "I wills" of Ex. vi, 0-8. Notice It as a sufficient reason for all that God requires of them (Ex. xs. 2; Lev. xxii, 81-33; xxiii, 43) and an all sufficient assurance to them that He will do what He says (Ezek. xxxvi, 22. 23, 32. 36), and the great truth that all nations have yet to learn (xxxviii, 23). 8-11. "Lord God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it?" Strong and weak, steadfast and wavering, up and down, seems to have been the way with him as he grew in grace and in the knowledge of God. Therefore be not discouraged, weak and trembling one. for the Lord will perfect all that concerns you for His name's sake. The creatures that he took at God's command and prepared as a sacrifice comprised all ever used as types of the great sacrifice of the Son of God. If you ask, "How shall I know?" the answer is, "Behold the Lamb of God." See the love of God in the gift of His dear Son and believe Rom. viii, 32. 12-16. The shadow of coming events casts itself upon him, and the Lord tells him of the coming centuries, of a great bondage and a great deliverance at an appointed time. And so it came to pass. He declares the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that arc not yet done, saying, "My couusel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure" (Isa. xlvi, 10). Compare Ex. xii. 40. 41. and note how all came to pass just as the Lord said. See also I Kings xii. 2, and II Kings xxiii, 16. 17. as an illustration of the literal and exact fulfillment of prophecy. Neither Abram nor his seed could inherit the land just then because the iniquity of the inhabitants was uot yet full. One reason why our Lord does not come and judge the nations is because their iniquity has not yet come to a head. There is n proper time to lance a boil. Our Lord will not be too late in attending to the gathering. 17. The smoking furnace and the burning lamp describe tlie way of the people of God as they journey to the kingdom. There will be the furnace, but His word will prove an unfailing lamp. In the world we shall have tribulation. We must through much tribulation enter the kingdom, but we need not be troubled (John xiv, 1, 27; xvi. 33: Acts xiv, 22; Math, xxiv, 6), for nothing can come to us that will not prove to be the best for us in the light of the glory, and nis presence will always sustain us (Rom. viii. 28; Isa. xliii. 1. 2). 18-21. Here we have for the first time the boundaries of the land well defined, not simply what we know as Canaan, but from Egypt to the Euphrates, an abunHnnt nnsspsiion fop nil Tsrnnl when thor shall have returned to their own land from all the nations where they are now scattered, for they are to dwell in their land, a united people under one King, never to be scattered or pulled up out of it any more (Ezek. xxxvii. 21. 22; Zeph. iii, 19. 20; Amos ix, 14, Hi). Fie will yet perform the truth to Jacob and the mercy to Abraham which He has sworn from the days of old (Mic. vii, 20). May we be fully persuaded that what God has promised He is able to perform and, feariuir no evil, walk humbly with Him in quietness and :n confidence. Pisccllanmtjs ^ratling.

Johnston And it is possible that others will be added to the list at the meeting this afternoon. And yet only two of these gentlemen have been heard from, Senator Tillman and Hon. J. S. Brlce Senator Tillman says it will be hie pleasure to be here, and Mr. Brice says as he is not a candidate, he wll give place to those who are. All arrangements for the meeting are moving along nicely, and the success oi the undertaking is assured. A fui: meeting of the entire committee of arrangements is to be held here on nexl Friday, and every member should be present., Dr. Wylle Moore left last night for New York, where he will locate permanently for the practice ol his profession Mr. E. D. Mobley the father of our townsman, Mr David M. Mobley, died at his home near Blackstock last Saturday evening at 8 o'clock, and was buried the following day at Concord Presbyterian church, of which he has been e deacon for many years. Mr. Moblej was about 70 years of age Clyde Bigham, a son of the late Harvey Bigham, who resides near Hollis postofflce in this county, was struck by lightning last Saturday afternoon while sitting in a aoor 01 noius ? wsiuu c store. The bolt first struck a window on the opposite side of the store, and after knocking out two or more panes of glass, seems to have divided. One current went through the floor, and knocked some pieces of rock from the pillar. The other passed through the store and out of the door in which Clyde was sitting. For awhile it was thought that Clyde was dead, and tc all appearances he was; but the several gentleman who were about the store at the time gave him immediate attention, and he is now considered tc be getting along as well as could be expected. His lower limbs are considerably burnt, however, and the final result of the stroke cannot yet be determined. Outside of the slight damage done to the store room and a slighl shock suffered by Mr. Joe Gaston, nc other damage was done. LANCASTER. Ledger, July 31; The team of mules of Mr. Mason Richardson ran off with him Monday afternoon down the hill on the east side of Gill's creek, on the Newcut road, throwing him out. The wheels on. one side of the wagon passed over Mr. Richardson's breast, breaking several of his ribs and fracturing a bone in one of his arms. He was getting along very well at last accounts; but he is seriously hurt. Mr, Richardson is a hardworking, industrious man and much sympathy is fell for him in his misfortune. The wagon was loaded with wood which he was hauling to town at the time of the accident The residence of Mr. R. J, Mcllwain, near Dry Creek, was struck Dy llgntning aunng me siorm inert last Saturday afternoon. Fortunately none of the family was In the portion of the house Injured. The damage was not very great One night last week something went Into the yard of Mr. M. L. Thompson, of the Neweut section, and was disturbing his chickens. His little flee chased It off into the woods and has not been seen since, though diligent search has been made for it. Something, supposed to be a catamount, killed a good size pig and ate a part of it recently for Mr. H. J. Thompson, and chickens have also been devoured by it, and it is thought that the same animal was making a raid on Mr. M. L. Thompson's chickens when the little dog chased it off, and was turned upon by the invader when it got into the woods and made a meal of it. ABOUT TOM JOHXSOX. How Cleveland's Mayor Became a Disciple of Henry George. Leslie's Weekly contains an interesting sketch of Mayor Tom Johnson, of Cleveland, who is more and more a national figure. The following extracts from the article are interesting: In person Mayor Johnson is about five feet, seven inches in height. His figure is rotund, almost rolypoly. His curly iron gray hair is usually carelessly brushed back from his rather low, but broad forehead. He is smooth shaven, and his smooth round face has been lightly touched in the matter of wrinkles. Many of his pictures give him a rather boyish appearance, which is belied, however, by the firm, aggressive chin and wide, strong mouth, with lips which compress firmly, and an under lip which protrudes just enough to indicate the tpnnritv of nurnose so strong a feature of his mental makeup. He dresses plainly, usually in a singlebreasted frock coat of generous proportions, and of a dark mixture. He is unostentatious and though always neat, hardly suggests a fashion plate. Tom Johnson had an opportunity to attend school until he was 16 years of age. Then family reverses compelled his giving up efforts to obtain an education to assist in keeping the wolf from the door. He began work in a Louisville rolling mill office as an errand boy. His alertness soon attracted the attention of one of the officials of the Louisville Street Railway company. and he was given a clerical position at $7 a week. Two years later he was superintendent of the road. He was married when about 20 years j Ii of age. "What have you with which o : to support a wife?" his prospective a father-in-law asked. "These two hands." was the reply. It was char- g t acteristic, and it won him his wife. f It was the persistence of a train t boy that diverted the attention of d i Mayor Tom L. Johnson, of Cleveland, e r from the pursuit of dollars to be earn- 1; ed in promoting street railway enter- f ? prises, to a desire to labor for the ben- ii I efit of his fellow men; that changed i.< . him from a "scheming monopolist" to r a disciple of the late Henry George; b that made him an enthusiastic advo- i> . cate of the single tax. His adoption of the doctrine of three-cent fares came later; it was a conversion and not an awakening. i , It happened during a journey from 3 Indianapolis, where Mr. Johnson was > manager of a street car system, to . Cleveland, where he expected to be- c come owner of another. The train hoy g 3 tossed into his seat a copy of Henry i , George's "Social Problems." c [ "Take it away," was the gruff com- j, mand; but the boy heeded it not. t Bored with his long ride, Johnson turn- j, > ed to the scorned volume for diver- t I sion. He turned its pages listlessly, . reading a paragraph here and there at t t random. He became interested, v , bought the book, and read it from e t cover to cover. He bought other of the j; . works of Mr. George and perused them a f with equal avidity. This was the be- r ginning of his career as a proselyte of c ' the George doctrine of equal taxation. 5 ?? i LOCUSTS IN THE PHILIPPINES. 1 ! t The Sonth African Method of Get- I l tin* Rid or the Pests Will Be Em- t r ployed. f : A cable despatch to The Sun from 1 Manila says that enormous swarms of I ! locusts have seriously damaged the g > crops In the southern islands and e s have also made their appearance in h i the region around Manila. The Phil- c r ipplne commission is taking prompt a I measures to stop the ravages of this a i insect pest. Having a supply of the s s fungus culture that has been used h I with such remarkable results in kill- v i ing locusts in South Africa, an agent li s of the health department has been as- t i signed to distribute it in the regions v i where the crops are being destroyed. 3 > This wonderful remedy is compara- t tively new, but it has proved to be n s the most efficacious in regions where o t it has been tried and there is reason k > to believe that it will stop the ravages n i of the pest in the Philippines. s The discovery of this remedy is one * of the most remarkable among all the c efforts that have been made to mitl- * ? gate or destroy the harmfulness of va- t : rious insects. Only six years ago the ii ? swarms of locusts that had been eat- ^ ing everything green in parts of Cape Colony suddenly became the victims c , of an epidemic that destroyed nearly v ! all of them. An investigation was set ? I on foot to try to discover what kindly p , influence had so unexpectedly rid the c , country of the little pests. The result p I of the investigation seemed to prove j, . conclusively that the disease was the , result of feeding upon a fungus,s \ growth that was not only poison to1 ? , the locust eating it, but also so infec- _ tious that a few of the diseased ln, sects could, in a very short time, com- r municate the malady to millions of j others. , In the following year, 18D6, there i was every indication that Natal would | suffer from the plague of locusts, 1 . j when suddenly the epidemic broke out | in the new crop of insects to the great , j relief of the colony whose crops were } thus saved from destruction. Then , | the bright idea occurred to somebody i that it might be possible to infect L numbers of the locusts with the mal- ? ady and send them abroad to propagate it whenever their brethren became I troublesome. ? So the Bacteriological Institute at A Grahamstown, Cape Colony, began a ^ series of experiments with the fungus and the locusts. The Investigators ^ succeeded in securing a pure culture n from the fungus, which is now known as the locust fungus. All the insects brought into contact with it died in i a few days. South Africa teemed with locusts in ? 1897. Great swarms of them threaten- ^ ed to desolate large areas from Cape L Colony to Rhodesia. Now or never Iwas the time to test the efficiency of ^ the locust fungus. Experiments on a i large scale in the artificial propaga- A t tion of the disease was conducted in Cape Colony, Natal and Rhodesia, q The results surpassed all expectations, o Millions of the insects perished within a few days after a few individuals C infected with the culture had been ^ turned loose among them. The best q results were obtained in rainy weath- I ; er when the locusts remained longest ? in one place, thus facilitating the thorough dissemination of the disease , among them. The least results were in hot, dry weather when the (light of , ! the locusts was rapid, and the sick I t UC1115 ici 1 iui ucujnu a fcicaL liiauj cai caped the infection. For the past three years the institute at Grahamstown has been putting up the culture from the locust fungus in tubes and a -great many of the | tubes have been sent thousands of t miles. The same excellent results have followed the use of the preparation in distant lands. Several methods of application have been found to , be effective. Sometimes several in, sects are smeared with the culture and are then permitted to rejoin their t swarm; another method is to drop the contents of the tubes upon bits of humid earth where the insects are feeding; a few locusts may also be enclosed in a bottle in which a little of their preferred food, covered with the culture, has been placed, and after they have eaten the food they are set at 1 liberty; or the contents of a tube are dissolved in a basin of warm water, insects are immersed in it and turned . loose: in fact, it doesn't make much difference how the culture is applied, f it is brought in contact with a few f the insects. They become diseased nd spread the infection. The Germans reported from the reion of Mount Kilmanjaro, 3,000 miles rom the place where the fungus culure had been prepared, that four ays after fifty locusts had been treatsi n n/4 fit ? * ?

A small sketch map, occupying a orner of the Geographischer Anzei:er, shows the places in Portugal and ndia, where hundreds of the Boers aptured in South Africa are now kept a confinement. Having distributed he prisoners from India to Bermuda t will certainly not be easy for them o plot against the British government. Cronje's soldiers, the first large party o fall into the hands of the British, rere landed on the island of St. Helna in April last year, and have been Iving ever since on Deadwood Plain, s the islanders call the pleateau that ises about 600 feet above the sea on me side the port of Jamestown. Another part of the Boer army, 700 n number, marched eastward over the 'ransvaal frontier Into Portuguese erritory. They were captured near Comati Poort, the gateway through he mountains, by which the railroad rom Lorenzo Marques ascends to the Transvaal plateau. They were sent to 'ortugal at the expense of the British ;overnment, which Is now bearing the xpense of their maintenance.
