v ' One Bullet Killed Bear end Men. ' Richard Hussey, of Franklin, was tilled while hunting in the mountain section in a strange way. Accompanied by a friend, James Janvis, he came upon a 300-pound bear. In trying te land their game they commenced firing at the animal from opposite directions. Janvls's bullet hit the bear, passed clean through the. animal and lodged 1n Hussey's groin. Janvis assisted his friend four miles to the nearest house, where help was summoned, but Hussey bled to death. ?

Woman's Eton Blouse Jacket. In spite of the tendency toward long and three-quarter coats the smart blouse Eton has renewed its hold on the popular fancy and is more in demand than ever for suits as well as for separate wraps. The added basque gives a more seasonable effect, but none of its smartness is lost when that portion Is omitted.

DR. TALMAGKVS SERMON SUNDAY'S DISCOURSE BY THE NOTED .DIVINE. 5ubjoct: the Folly of Boasting? History Fall of Instance* Showing How Arrogance Wai Kebuked?Better Underrate Than Overrate Oarselvei. Washington, D. C.?While this disburse nf Dr. Talmage rebukes arrogance it enpnuracea humanitv and shows how the evening of^ life may be brightened. The text is I Kings xx, 11, "Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself is he that putteth it off." Harness is the obsolete word for armor, [t means harness for the man, not harness lor the beast; harness for battle, not harness for the plow. The ancient armor lonsisted of helmet for the head, breastplate and shield for the heart, greaves for the feet. The text makes' a comparison aetween a man,enlisting for some war and i veteran returning, the one putting on the armor and the other putting it on. Benhadad, the King or- Syria, thought ie could easily overcome the King of Israel. Indeed, the Syrian was so sure1 of the victory that he spread an ante-bellum sanquet. With thirty-two kings he was :elebrating what they were going to do. rhere were in all thirty-three icings at the :arousal, and their condition is described n the Bible, not as convivial or stimuated exaltation, but drunk. Their gilded ind bannered pavilions were surrounded 3T high mettled horses, neignmg ana :hamping and hitched to chariotB such as tings rode in. Benhadad sends officers >ver to. the King of Israel demanding the mrrender of the. city, saying, "Thoushalt leliver to me thy silver ana thy gold and thy wives and thy children," and afterward sends other officers, saying that the jalace of the king will be searched and verything Benhadad wants he will take without asking. Then the King of Israel :alled a council of war, and word is sent jack to Benhadad that bis unreasonable lemand will be resisted. Then Benhadad sends another' message to the King of Israel, a message full of arrogance and brarado, practically saying: "We will destroy rou utterly. I will grind Samaria into the lust, but there will not be dust enough to nake a handful for each one of my troops." Then the King of Israel replied to Benbalad, practically saying: "Let ine see you< io what you say. You royal braggart, you night better have postponed your ban]Uet until after the battle instead of spreading it before the battle. You huzza too soon. 'Let not him that girdeth on lis harness boast himself as he that put:eth it off.'" An avalanche of courage and righteousices, the Israelitish army came down on Benhadad and his host. It was a hand to land fight, each Israelite hewing down a Syrian. Benhadad, on horseback, gets iway with some of the cavalry, but is only javed for a wnrse defeat, in which 100,000 Syrian infantry were slaughtered in one lay. Now we see the sarcasm and the jpigrammatic power of the message of my text sent by the King of Israel to Benhaiad, "Let not him that girdeth on hiB harness boast himself as he that puttetb t off." All up and down history we see such too early boasting. Soult, the Marshal of France, was so ceftain that he would conjuer that he had a proclamation printed innouncing himself King of Portugal, and ?-s j t? a UttU ?, ^Iciau iiraot prcpaicu xv* -x \j wawa that afternoon, but before that hour he Jed in ignominious defeat, and Wellington, of the conquering host, sat . down at A >'clock at the very banquet the Marshal of Prance had ordered for himself. Charles V. invaded France and was so sure of :onqucst that he requested Paul Jovius, ;he historian, to gather together a large imount of paper on which to write the story of bis many victories, but disease ind famine seized upon his troopers, and ie retreated in dismay. So Benhadad's Dehavior has been copied in all ages of the vorld. It will be my object, among other essons, to show that he who puts off the irmor, having finished the battle, is more ? be congratulated than he who begins. First, I find encouragement in this subject for the aged who have got through ;he work and struggle of earthly life. My renerab'e friends, if you had at twentyive years of age full appreciation of what rou would have to go through in the thlr;ies and the forties and the fifties of your ifetime you would have been appalled, fortunately the bereavements, the temptaaons, the persecutions, the hardships, vere curtained from your sight. witn nore or lees fortitude you passed through ;he crises of pain and sadness and disapjointment ana fatigue and still live to -e?unt the divine help that sustained you. it twenty or thirty years of age at the ;ap of the drum you put on the harness, tfow, at sixty or seventy or eighty you ire peacefully putting it off. You would lot want to try the battle of life over tgain. Though you can look back and see nany mistakes, the next time you might nake worse mistakes. Instead of being iepress^d over the fact that you are being lounted out or omitted in the great underakings of the church and the world, reoice that you have a right to hang up rriur helmet and sheathe your sword ana ree your hands from the gauntlets and rour feet from the bootB of mail. There are old farmers who cannot do me more day's work. What harvests ;hey raised in 1870! Thev knew the rotaion of crops as well as they knew the ro;ation of the seasons. Under what bliserings suns they swung the scythe and ;he cradle! Through wnat deep cnows hey drew the logs or cut their way to the oddering of the cattle! What droughts, vhat freshets, what insectile invasions, hey remember! To clothe and feed and iducate the household they went through oils and self sacrifices that the world cnew but little about. .Rest, tfged man: liet the boys do the shoveling and thrashng and cutting and sweating. You have rnt the harness off, and do not try to put t on again. There are old mechanics that can no nore shove the plane or pound with the lammer or bore with the bit or run up he ladder to the scaffolding. Master meihanics they were or subordinates who vrought faithfully in the work of house ir barn or ship building. You have a ight to auit. You have finished your ask. Be thankful that your work is done. Then there are aged physicians. Whdt ragedies of pain and accident they have ritnessed! IIow much suffering they have issuaged! How many brave'battles they lave fought with lancet and cataclysm! Sow many fevers Ihey cooled! Sow aany broken bones they set! How many .nxious days they passed when they knew hat human lives depended upon their kill and fidelity! They drove back death ron many a cradle. Again, I learn from Benhadad's beha ior the unwisdom of boasting of what me is going to do. Two messages had he f A fVtA V ihr? r\f Tor???ol m OCC3 fTPQ ull of insolence and braggadocio. With trimming beaker in hand he is talking rith the royal group about what he will do irith the spoils of the victory he is going o achieve that afternoon. He takes it or granted that Samaria will surrender, le gives command for the capture of ome of the inhabitants of Samaria who .re approaching, saying, "Whether they te come out for peace take them alive, or whether they be come out for war take hem alive." But behold the fugitive kin" n frightened retreat before sundown! Jetter not tell boastinglv what you are ;oing to do. Wait until it is done. Dr. Pendleton and Mr. Saunders were alking in the time of persecution under Jueen Mary. Saunders was trembling and fraid, but Pendleton said: '"What! Man, here is much more cause for me to fear han you. You are smali, and i have a irge bodily frame, but you will see tne ust piece of this flesh consumed to ashes lefore I ever forsake Jesus Christ and His ruth, which I have professed." Not long iter Saunders, the faint hearted, gave ip his life for Christ's sake, while Pendleon, who had talked so big, played cowrd and gave up religion when the test ame. Wilberforce did not tell what he iras going to do with the slave trade, but iow much he accomplished is suggested iy Lord Brougham's remark concerning ViJberforce after his decease, '"He went o heaven with 800,000 broken fetters in lis hand." My subject is also a refutation of the amous sentiment that God is on the side f the heaviest artillery. From all I can ead about this struggle Benhadad spoke he truth when he said, "The gods do so into me and more also if the aust of Sa V : V ' / ;;.v maria shall suffer for handfuls for all the people that follow me." He was so confident that with his superior numbers he could defeat the King of Israel and capture * i^aria that he left the work for a sho eraoon. He is at noon in wassail w" i.is royal associates. The battle of ". terloo was not opened until twentyfive minutes of 12 o'clock at noon, but that was because the ground was too wet to move the artillery. Benhadad waits until afternoon because he is overconfident. God is not on the side of the most swords or the most war chariots or the most cannon if they be in the wrong, but on the side of the right. How such a preposterous sentiment as I have mentioned should have gained sway I know not when all history proclaims the opposite. Describing tne very next oame in wnicn ucnnauau fought and was miserably defeated, the Bible says, "The children of Israel pitched before tnem like two little flocks of kids, but the Syrians filled the country." How insignificant were the unarmed Israelites, half starved and unorganized, compared with Pharaoh's host on foot, on horseback and charioted! But the waves of the Red Sea took part in the conflict, parting .to let the pursued pass, but coming together to destroy the pursuers. The MidianiteB and Amafekites were like grasshoppers for multitudes, but 300 men under Gideon came down, their only weapons pitchers and lamps and trumnets, ana as they held up the lamps and threw down the pitchers and blew the. trumpets the flash of the lights and blare of the instruments and the crash of the crockery made their enemy fall back in wild terror. Young man, see that you have on a complete armor. All looks bright flow, and it seems as if you could march right on without opposition or attaalc;?.but be not deceived. There are hidden foes ready to halt you on your way. The same cup that Benhadad drank out oi just b?fore his defeat will be offered to effect your defeat; His intoxicated brain saw victory when there was nothing but rout and ruin. What work Benhadad's cup made for Ben* hadad's army! What shipwreckd on tW sea, what disasters on the land caused by inflamin? liauids put upon the tongue to set seething the brain!" How many kingt of thought and influence, with growna brighter than the one Benhadad wore, have by strong drink been put into flight as base as that in which Benhadad rode! "Give them to me," says the demon of inebriacy. "Give them to me; hand thejn down?the brightest legislators of the land. I will thicken their tongue; I will bloat their cheek; I will stagger their step; 1 will damn their soul. Hand them down to me?the physician out of hft laboratory, the attorney from the courtroom, the minister of the gospel from the altars of God. Hand them crown to me, the Queens of the drawing room, and I will disgrace their names and blast their homes and throw them down farther than Jezebel fell to the dogs that crunched her carcass." Yes, you must have full armor. There are temptations to an impure life all the time multiplying and intensifying. Read in private and discussed afterward by the refined and elegant in parlors are books poisoned from lid to lid with impurities. Loose characters in the novel applauded by rhetorical pens rfnd proprieties of lift caricatured as prudery and infidelity of behavior put in a way to excite sympathy and half approval. My wonder is not that so many go astray, but my wonder is that ten times as many are not debauched. Young man, put on the entire gospel outfit. H you have come from the country to live in the city, imitate the example of a young man who arrived in New York on Saturday night, intending the following Monday to enter his place of employment. On Sunday morning, carrying out the good advice before leaving his country home, he went to church. Standing at the door he was abashed as the beauty and fashion <*?*?] wroftHk ctnonf fhrAllflrK fKfl ^AAfl nf the sanctuary, and he dared not go in. Aa he was about turning to go away a gentleman said. "Have you a seat, young man?" "No, sir. "Do you belong in the city?" "No, sir." "Where is your home?" In the country." "How long have y.ou been in the city?" "I came in last night." "What are you going to do here? "1 hope to go into business to-morrow." "That ft right. You have begun well, young man. Never forsake the God oi your fathers. Come, I will give you a seat m my pew." The next morning the young man presented hia i letter in business circles. "What do you want, voung man?" said the Scotch merchant. "1 want to get credit on some leather, upper and sole." "Have you references?" "I. think I can get references. My father has friends here." Young man, did I not see you yesterday in Mr. Lenox's pew?" "I do not know, sir. I was at church, and a kind gentleman asked me to sit in his pew." "Yes. young man, that was Robert Lenox. I will trust any one that Mr. Lenox invites into his pew*. You need not trouble your self about references. When these goods are gone come and get more." That young man becamc an eminent merchant, ana 4-ltnt t% Pkulofion moroVionf OYtfl XUUiC' liUftU l/UUbj (4 vmioviau tuv* vhuu n be attributed all bis success to tbat first Sabbath in tbe city. Young man just arrived, put yourself under good influences your first day in town. There hangs your helmet. Take it down. There is your breastplate. Adjust it. There is all the harness for safety and triumph. Put it on. Also see in my'subject the folly of underestimating the enemy. That was Ben* hadad's fatal mistake. He could whip them before sundown. He wanted less than half a day to capture Samaria and make the King of Israel capitulate. But what he thought was so easy turned out to be the impossible. Better overestimate than underestimate the other side. We who are trying to make the world what it ought to be contend not with homunculi. We wrestle not with striplings. We have a whole army of antagonists trying to halt the King of God and overthrow the cause of righteousness. If we secure the victory, it will be a struggle as fierce as when Darius and Alexander grappled each other at Arbela, as when Joan of Arc rode triumphant at Orleans, as when the Russians met thl Swedes at Poltava, as when Marlborough commanded the allied armies at Blenheim. Those were fights for earthly crowns and dominions, but the fight that now goes on between all the allied armies of heaven and all the allied armies of hell is to settle whether God or Satan is to have possession of this planet. I congratulate all those who ere now in the thickest of life's battles that the time is coming when the struggle will end and you will put the harness off, helmet and greaves and breastplate having fulfilled their mission. You cannot in one visit to London Tower see all. You must go again and again to that place, which is associated with the story of Lady Jane Grey and Anne Boleyn and Walter Raleigh and Sir Thomas More. You will see the crowns of kings and queens, the robe worn by the Black Prince, and silver baptismal fonts from which royal infants were christened, and the block on which Lord Lovat was beheaded. But no part of London Tower will more interest you than the armory, in which is skillfully and impressively arranged a collection of all styles of armor worn between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries, suggesting 500 years of conflict?cuirass and neck guard and cmn piece and lance rest and gauntlet and girdle and mailed apron. You see just how from head to heel those old time warriors were defended against sharp- weapons. 0 ye soldiers of Jesus Christ, when the war of life is over and the victors rest in the soldiers' home on the heavenly heights perhaps there may be in the city of the sun a tower of spiritual armor such as incased the warriors for Christ in earthly combat! Some day we may be in that armory and hear the heroes talk of how they fought the good fight of faith and see them with the scars or wounds forever healed and look at the weapons of offense and defense with which they became more than conquerors. In that tower of heaven as the weapons of the spiritual conflict are examined St. Paul may point out to us the armor with which ne advised the Ephesians to equip themselves and say: "That is the shield of faith. That is the helmet of salvation. That is the girdle of truth, 'mat is the breastplate of righteousuess. Those are the mailed shoes in which they were shod with the preparation of the gospel." There and then you may recount the contrast between the day when vou eni-'-i.j r% n:~L j - j iisieu 1 Li ^iiriSLictu cuiiait't anu me uav when you closed it in earthly farewell and and heavenly salutation, and the text, which has so much meaning for us now, will have more meaning for us then?"Let not him that girdeth on- his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off." ]Copyrifht, 1901, L.
