Many years ago there lived in Africa a boy who was taken captive in one of the savage wars between two rival tribes and sold as a slave. First ho was traded for a horse ; then his new master thought he had got ten a poor bargain and traded him back again. Next he was sold for a oask of rum, but this buyer also brought him back. A third time he was traded for a quantity of tobacco, but with the Bamo result. No one wanted the poor, miserablo slave boy, who was nigh unto dispair. At last he was bought by a Portugese slave-dealer and taken away. How little did tho poor sla"o boy know what tho future had in store for him, as ladon with chains he lay in the hold of a slave | ship 1 Hut an English warship cap tured the slnve Bhip and freed thc captives. The African boy came under Christian influonce, was edu cated and became a missionary to his benighted country and later | bishop of negro missions in West Africa.

The first viotim on the "Nypano" side went down on the still simpler word "feud." (Gradually the easy marks were eliminated and there remained a few veterans on eaob side who seemed proof against all words in common use.

Are You Crazy 7 Is it not a faot that every man is more or less crazy ? Not that every man is a fit subject for the insane asylum, but that every man has a streak of insanity, which is more or less distinct. Sometime ago a man was telling a lady who is a woman of splendid intelligence of a habit into whioh he had fallen. It had become a habit with this man to count his steps, espeoially in passing by fences he would oouut the stops between posts. If ono man's fence should happen to have posts at irregular intervals it produced a very disagreeable sensation upon tho counter. On the other hand, if the posts proved to be of the same dis tance apart the counter experienced a sensation that was pleasant. The lady in question listened atteutivoly to tho reoital of tho foregoing expe rience. As soon as tho man coased speaking she snid : "I never walk into a room and see a mirror but what I think 'oh if I just had a smoothing iron I would dash it into that mirror.' " A day or two later the man met a friend on the street and told him of his conversation with tho lady and her remarks upon it. Thia friend, with a merry twinkle in bia eye, said : "I never take out my pocket-knife and open the blade but what I think to myself 'what if I job this in my eyo ?' " About this time the third gentle man walked up. Ho was informed of the ' preceding conversations. Having listened attentively, ho re plied : "I ?over take out my razor and shave myself but what I think, ?what if I drew this thing across my jugular?' " What is your crazy streak ? Think about it and see if there bo not some little freak of some kind which marks you in this particular.-Union Times. Foley's Honey and Tar cures coughs and colds and provents pneumonia.

The Doctor eays : "True, you aro not obliged. But here is a river we have to cross, lt is broad and deep and i a, id ; whoever fall? into it is sure to be drowned. Here is a nar row foot bridge, a single timber ex tending across. Ho who is lithe of limb and steady of brain and norve may skip over it in safety. Yonder is a broad, strong bridge. : Its foun dations are solid rook. Its passages are wide ; its balustrade ia high and firm.

True, true, you are not obliged ; but as for us, we know that if we oross, though we may go safely, many j others who will attempt to follow us will surely perish.

Tbat the coat of the Government is daily increasing, and that, in spite of thia increasing cost, the United States is able, after paying every bill, to put aside more cash each night At tho close of business than it did on the corresponding day last year or the year before that, are easily demonstrated by an analysis of the daily balance sheet issued by the Seoretary of the Treasury. One of the clever statistician fi of Washington took the statement of September 10 last, whioh was typical of the whole series of the fall season, and made some interesting deduc tions. The statement, whioh sets forth the transactions of an ordinary I day, shows that the total receipts of j the government from all sources for I that day were $2,020,886.55, and that the total expenses of that day were $1,880,000, thus leaving a bal unoe of receipts over expenditures in the treasury of $100,886.55. In other words, the government col lected nearly $200,000 more than it bad any immediate nee<f for. The collections for the day were at the rate of $84,201.52 an hour for the tyonty-four hour a, whioh means that every minute there poured into its strong boxen from the pookets of the pooplo $1,408.86, or $23.89 a second. On the same day the Uuited States paid out on average every hour $76,250 in order to keep the wheels of government going. Expressed in another way, the expenses for the government for the day by minutes were $1,270.75, or $21.18 a second. As the collections for the samo soo ond were $28.89, it is shown that the government's profits for the day were at the rate of $2.21 per second. The source of greatest income on this particular day was from oustoms collections levied under the tariff aot. They totaled for the day $1,181,878.59. This is at thc rate of $47,167.60 an hour, or $786.00 a minute, or $13.10 a second. While collecting tariff duties at the rate of $13.10 a second, the government at the same time was collecting internal revenue taxes at the rate of $8.76 a second, the total reoeipts for the day from that source being $756,933.72. From miscellaneous sources there was collected during the day $132, 024.24. On the corresponding day last year the reoeipts from all sources were $1,381,440.40, with expenses of $1, 160,000. Collections for the corres ponding day last year wore at the rate of $15.41 a second and expendi tures averaged for that day $13.42 a second, tho profits to the government on the day's transactions being only $1.99 a second, against $2.21 a sec ond on September 16, 1903. The item of greatest cost, as shown by the statement under review, was oreditod to "war"-merely a conven ient term used by tho treasury's book-keepers to indioato tho total expense of tho war department for that day. The exhibit shows that there was disbursed on account of "war" op September 16, $720,000, and on ' thc same day the navy cost tho nation $670,000. Pen sion payments for the day were $300,000, thus making the total ex penses of the government on account of war and the necessary equipment to carry it on $1,590,000. While of course an enormous amount of money is paid out every day in expenses, the government, as hns been shown, is mnking a profit of $2.21 a second on its daily transac tions. If this is kept up long enough it will have in its exchequer all tho money in the nation. Rydale's Liver Tablets. Rydale's Livor Tablots euro all liver trouble.

Isn't it strange that some people's ox never gets in tho ditch only on Sunday ? Is it right for a farmor to do other work during tho week and postpone the stacking of hay and fodder till Sunday and then do it ostensibly in order to save thom ? Emphatically, no. Then, is it right to make repairs on engines or other machinery on Sunday so as not to lose time by stopping tho machinery during the week? Emphatically, no. Wo have heard of the latter being dono not a thousand miles from Edgefiold. Holy writ enjoins: "Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy." "Be not decoived, God is not mocked." Working by design on Sunday in order to eoonomizo time is like saving at the spigot and wasting at the bung.
