HE QUIT.
A talkative old man attracted the
attention of every one in the car. He
was very tall and very large, and hi9
thick head of hair would have excited
the envy of the Chicago board of trade. ,
"Where do you live?" some one
asked.
"Live in Wilson, Missoury?run a
newspaper there. Pretty close picking,
but between old rails and new wool I
manage to make a living."
"How far are you going?"
"Thought I'd go down to Hot 1
Springs."
"Rheumatism ?"
"Oh, no. Just thought I'd go down
there and boil some of the licker out i
of me. I quit drinking for awhile ;
but went to a sort of banquet one
night and got started again."
"How old are you ?"
"Eighty-two." ,
, "Pretty old man to get on a spree."
"Well; but I wasn't so old when I
got on it."
"How long ago was it?"
"Forty odd years."
"What, and you haven't gotten over
it yet?"
"No, for I just kept on drinking.
I'm pretty bad when I get started."
"You don't mean to say that you
have been drunk for 40 years?"
"Yes, I do. Went to that old Whig
banquet 43 years ago this coming
June, and have been whooping it up
ever since until tne older day, ana
then in a thoughtful moment I said to
myself that it was time to quit, and I
did. My wife had something to do
with it, too. 'Look here, Godfrey,'
said she, 'if you ever expect to make ,
anything of yourself, you'll have to ,
stop drinking. It is about time you
was making a success of >our paper,
and I would advise you to quit.'
"Well," the old man continued, "I
took the matter under advisement and
quit; so now the reaction causes the
necessity of a few baths. I tell you
that after a man has been on a spree
awhile it is a pretty hard matter to
break right off. I don't intend to
drink another drop. A man cannot
afford to throw away his life. There
is too much work to be done."
UNDER FALSE PRETENSES.
In a pine forest not far from Arkadelphia,
Ark., there is a narrow gauge
railroad, built for the purpose of haul- 1
ing logs to a saw mill; but recently it
was chartered as a highway for the
transportation of freight and passengers.
The other day a man was seen
walking over this road in the direction
of the Iron Mountain railway, and
shortly after he reached the station, a
dummy engine, pulling a rusty coach,
rolled up. The conductor, who was t
the engineer, fireman, brakeman,
freight agent and general superintendent
jumped off the engine, and approaching
the man that had just walk- ,
ed over, angrily exclaimed :
"What do you mean by acting the ,
_ way you did ?"

"You know very well what I mean.
Wasn't you back yonder at Olney, our
eastern terminus?" ,
"Yes, of course I was."
"And didn't you ask me how long
before the train started for this place ?"
"Yes, but what are you driviug at?"
I'Oh, you'll find out. Didn't you
hold out the belief that you were
going to ride on my train ?"
"Yes, probably, and I thought I
would ; but as you were not going to
start soon enough to suit me, why, I
walked."
"Ah ; but we started a few minutes
after you did."
"That may be ; but I beat you in."
"Ah, hah, aud that, too, after creating
the impression that you were going
to ride with me. What right have you
to come round here setting that bad
example? Don't you know that if
the people in this ueighborhood see
you acting that way tuey will give my
train the go-by and walk ? How do
you expect a railway to make expenses
under the circumstances ?"
"I don't know about that. I know
that your time-table didn't suit me,
and that I walked, beat you in, and,
moreover, saved 25 cents."
"Oh, you saved 25 cents, did you ?"
Well, you won't think so when you
are done with this case. There is a
a law for such fellows as you are, and
I am going to have you arrested for
saving mouey uuder false pretenses."
He Might Try.?The following
story is told by a writer in The Green
Bag. Some time ago a lawyer had
under cross-examination a youth from
the country, who rejoiced in the name
of Samson, and whose replies were
provocative of much laughter in the
court.
"And so," questioned the barrister,
"you wish the court to believe that
you are a peaceably disposed and inoffensive
kiud of person?"
"Yes."
"And that you have no desire to follow
in the steps of your illustrious
namesake, and smite the Philistines?"
"No, I've not," answered the witness;
"and if I had the desire, I ain't
got the power at present."
"Then you think you would be unable
to cope successfully with 1,000 enemies
and utterly rout them with the
jawbone of an ass?"
"Well," answered the ruffled Samson,
"I might try when you have done
with the weapon."
How She Knew a Mule.?A little
5-year-old girl of Seattle, Washington,
was leaning out of a window wheu a i
team attached to a transier wagon
went rattling by. She suddenly turned
to her companion and cried :
"Oh ! see, Uncle Fred, there doze
two raools."
"How do you know they are mules ?
Maybe they are horses."
"No, sir. I dess I know mools from
horses."
"How do little girls know the differ'
ence, Pet?"
"Why, horses have hair tails and
mools just only have plain meat tails."

LESSON XIII, FOURTH QUARTER, IN- *
TERNATIONAL SERIES, DEC. 29.
A Comprehensive Review of the Lessons I
of the Fourth Quarter?Golden Text, ]
Math, vl, 10?Commentary by the Rev. J
D. M. Stearns.
Lesson I.?Tho Time of tho Judges <
(Judg. ii, 1-12, 10). Golden Text, Judg. (
ii, 16, "Tho Lord raised up judgos, which
delivered them." Tho peopio of Israel
were raised up by tho Lord that they
might bo unto Him a peculiar peopio for '
His own possession; that Ho might through
them make Himself known to others for I
their benefit. Wo cannot emphasize this <
too much, nor say it too often. To this ,
end they were to bo completely separate ,
from all other nations unto tho Lord alono.
Tho sin of Judg. i and ii is that of fellow- *
ship with idolatrous peoples and conso- J
quent oppression, but when they cried tin- J
to tho Lord He raised them up judges, aud i
the Lord was with tho judgo and delivered <
tlmni fii is t ,
Lesson II.?The Triumph of Gideon (
(Judg. vii, 13-23). Golden Text, Ps. xxvil, j
3, "Though an Jiost should encamp against .
me, my heart shall not fear." Gideon is
a good sample of the judges; ho delivered '
Israel from the Midianites and the land I
had rest 40 years in his days (chapter viii, i
28). Gideon was nothing in himself, but ]
the Lord was with him. The Spirit of (
tho Lord came upon him, and his strength |
was that the Lord had called him and sent
him (chapter vi, 12, 14, 16, 34). It is not 1
men and women of strength who are needed
for the Lord's work, but 6uch as are <
filled with tho Spirit. j
Lesson III.?Ruth's Choice (Ruth i, 1422).
Golden Text, Ruth 1, 16, "Thy poo- <
pie shall bo my people and thy God my j
God." All good judges, prophets, priests
and kings were typical of Him who is the
only Deliverer, the King of Kings, nnd '
now in the book of Ruth tho principal
person is not Ruth, but the mighty man
of wealth, who owned the field in which ;
Ruth gleaned, the kinsman redeemer (
whoso wifo Ruth became, and because of
whom her naino appears in Math, i, 5. Let
us, with the same purpose of heart that 1
Ruth had, cleave unto Him and wait pa- '
tiently till the morning. !
Lesson IV.?The Child Samuel (I Sam. j
lii, 1-13). Golden Text, I Sam. iii, 9, '
"Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth." ,
Old Eli was not walking with God as he ,
should have done, and so the Lord raised
ud Samuel to judec His people. Samuel '
was given to Hannah in answer to prayer, '
and from the lips of Hannah wo have the I
namo Messiah for the first time in Scrip- I
ture (chapter ii, 10). H. C. Trumbull says i
on this lesson that even a child may have
a placo in God's house, an car for God's ;
call, a mind for God's service and a message
at God's bidding.
Lesson V.?Samuel the Judge (I Sam. 1
vil, 6-15). Golden Text, I Sam. vii, 12, 1
"Hitherto hrt'h the Lord helped us." On <
the return of the ark to Israel from the s
land of the Philistines, Samuel exhorts the |
peoplo to turn to the Lord with all their ,
hearts and servo Him only. In answer to
Samuel's prayer the Lord gave a very '
manifest answer of deliverance from the (
Philistines, and they came no more against '
Israel all the days of Samuel (verse 13), '
for all his days ho walked before tho people
in the fear of the Lord (chapter xii,
2, 8).
Lesson VI.?Saul Chosen King (I Sam.
x, 17-27). Golden Text, Ps. xcvii, 1: "The 1
Lord reigneth. Let the earth rejoice." Israel
was chosen that they might be unlike
all other nations in thut the Lord Himself 1
was their king, dwelling In their midst in l
the building speciully prepared for Him, j
and this desiro to have a king like all other .
nations was a virtual rejection of Jehovah J
us thnlr trim* viii. 5-71. Thev nro
ferred to walk by sight rather than by
faith, and weary of God and His ways. 1
The sin of many today is that they do not
care to ho tho Lord's own possession, but i
prefer to bo like other people.
Lesson VII.?Saul Rejected (I Sam. xv,
10-23). Golden Text, I Sam. xv, 22, "To (
obey is better than sacrifice." God gave
them a king who He knew would please
the people, a fine man to look upon, a
choice man and head and shoulders above 1
the people (chapter ix, 2) and had he beon
as fair to God as ho was to#the people it <
had been well for him and for them, too, ,
but he proves disobedient to God in order ,
to please tho peoplo (verse 24), and yot professes
loyalty to God.
Lesson VIII.?The Woes of Intemper- I
anco (Isa. v, 11-23). Golden Text, Isa. v, j
11, "Woo unto them that rise up early in
the morning, that they may follow strong
drink." Although this seems like a digression
from tho series of lessons for the 1
sake of a temperance lesson, yet we have (
over again the same troubles as we found
in the judges and in Saul, "They have cast .
away the law of the Lord of Hosts and de- 1
spised tho word of the Holy One of Israel" I
(verse 24). The 6in of intemperance was <
only ono phase of the 6elf life which they '
lived. I
Lesson IX.?David Anointed King (I ,
Sam. xvi, 1-13). Golden Text, I Sam. xvi, !
7, "Man looketh on the outward appearance,
but tho Lord looketh on the heart." 1
Having indulged the people with a king to
their liking, Ho now will give them a man i
after His own heart (chnpter xiii, 14), that
is in tho matter of the kingdom; ono who ]
will prefer to please God rather than tho (
peoplo; ono who will sit on the throne and (
rule the people as tho Lord's representa- ,
tive.
Lesson X.?David and Goliath (I Sam. 1
xvii, 38-51). Golden Text, I Sam. xvii, '
47, "Tho battle is tho Lord's." To mag- I
nify self is one thing, but to magnify tho <
Lord is a wholly different matter. Goliath, ,
as a mighty man of the world, magnifies ,
his mighty self; Saul professing to be a i
servant of tho Lord yet soeks to magnify
himself, but David has no thought of himself
and seeks only tho honor of the God of
Israel, whom Goliath was defying.
Lesson XI.?David and Jonathan (I i
Sam. xx, 32-42). Golden Text. Prov.
xviii, 24, "Thero is a friond that sticketh
closer than a brother." David, although (
anointed king, has to wait patiently the
Lord's time for him to come to tho throne;
meantime tho ono filled with an evil spirit
is on the throne and seeks David's life.
Our Lord Jesus is appointed to reign over
the whole world (Ps. lxxii, 11; Rev. xi,
15; Dan. vii, 13, 14), but He waits for the ,
kingdom while saTan continues to be recognizod
by the majority. While wo wait
with Him let the love of David and Jonathan
make us think of His love to us.
Lesson XII.?The Birth of Christ (Luke (
11, 8-20). Golden Text, Luke li, 10, "Be- I
I hold, I bring you good tidings of great
[ joy." It is a great joy to turn from all the
shadows and types to tho glorious reality
of Jesus Christ Himself, but tho lesson Is
still tho samo. Ho emptiod Himself, made
Himself of no reputation, became poor for 1
us, sought noither His own will nor His
own glory, but over rojoiced to glorify the l
Father and please Him In all things.

HOW TO GET EGGS. <
Do you want eggs from your hens <
luring the next four months? If so, I
observe the following hints : t
1st. Get the hens into healthy grow- i
ng condition, shrinking if necessary, i
:o remove surplus fat or adding to if
poor. In the first instance, feed only
an cooked vegetables and oats or bran ; <
h the latter give more corn. i
2d. Make the ration one rich in t
jgg materials. Let a certain per cent. I
}f animal food, meat scraps, meat t
meal or food of this nature, be given <
daily. One pint to a pail full of cook- i
3d food is enough. t
3d. Feed to promote health rather
;han destroy, and to temper the
quantity. A wooden pailful of cook- t
jd vegetables, or cooked clover, with ]
iwo or more auarts of cpoked f
ground grain well worked into the '
mass, is breakfast enough for 30 hens, i
Reduce, rather than exceed this, the i
sole object being to satisfy the claims .
3f hunger and promote activity. Let
[he night ration be not more than one
juart of mixed grain (whole) to 17
pens, be so scattered about the chaff,
eaves or, that only a kernel will be
found at a lime. This means that the
bens will scratch busily until dark,
md this it is which promotes egg
building. In the coldest weather, fill
the crops just at night with corn, for
the same reason that you will fill the
stove with coal?to keep warm.
4th. Three or four times a week feed
looked or chopped clover with ground
grain the morning mash.
. Clover, animal meat, meal or scraps,
wheat, vegetables and oats, if fed as
ndicated to bens having comfortable
pens, will insure steady egg produc- .

Cure for Diptheria.?Prof. L. I.
Blake, of Kansas university, discover- J
?d what he believes to be a sure cure,
as well as sure preventitve, of diptheria.
He has experimented with it in a *
theoretical way until he and the physicians
with whom he has consulted ire
satisfied that it will be a success, j
The mixture is salt aud water, about ]
3ne-half to two-thirds of salt by j
weight; through this is sent a current ]
sf electricity from a battery. The de- j
jomposition produces, chloride, oxy- ]
gen and probably ozone, all in an ac- j
tive state. The throat should be ,
swabbed or gargle used frequently.
Tests have been made sufficient to i
show conclusively that the mixture is j
i powerful germicide. Prof. Blake se- J
mred the dirtiest water he could get
from the sewers of Kansas City, Leav- i
enworth and Lawrence, and a microscopic
investigation showed them to be ]
reeking with bacteria. The water :
was submitted to his lest, and the most
powerful analysis afterward failed to j
discover a living germ. No organic (
matter of any kind remained in the i
water. (
i
Walnut Trees.?The tree for
which $30 was paid in cash some time
ago still stands in Catawba river up at 1
Bridgewater. What we wrote about
was advice to farmers and land owners
to plant walnuts and rear walnut
trees. We took occasion to write |
something on the 9ame line about two
years ago. We say now again, poor land
can be made rich by rearing walnut
trees on it. Look under any walnut 1
tree and see if the soil is not rich. As
we said. 160 trees can be planted on
each acre and the land cultivated with
profit and also benefit to the trees.
We said that in 20 years trees could
thus be grown which would then be
worth $75 or even more per tree. We
now say furthermore, that of the 160
treees planted on each acre at least
100 of them should arrive at the stage
of maturity without interference to the
crops and an actual enrichment of the
soil; and also, that if the man will
study the nature of each tree as it
grows he cau train them to curl and
also probably to produce a burl.?
Hickory Press.
Buying and Selling Cows by
Tests of Their Milk.?The North
Carolina experiment station proposes
a plan for buying and selling cows. It
is based on the yield of their milk, together
with the quality of the same as
determined by tests of the milk.
The rule is to pay for the cow ?i the
rate of $12 per gallon of milk given
per day that is rich enough to show 31
per cent of fat. To this price add or
subtract one dollar for every onefourth
of one per cent, of fat which is
above or below the 3J per cent. By
this rule the cow is bought entirely on
her merits. It is believed to be a
conservative plan and one if adopted
(or one upon a similar plan) will cer
taily raise the standard 01 cows, ana
increase their milk and butter production,
for il they cannot be sold easily
for milk cows, they will soon be turned
over to the butcher, and a better animal
be kept or a willing purchaser be
found. The result cannot fail to be
beneficial to all parties.
The Oyster.?Oysters are really '
less digestible than commonly credited
to be. A raw oyster takes two
hours for digestion, and in a stew it
requires three and a half hours. Although
extremely nutritious, it may
be ruined by overcooking in the same
way as an egg is made indigestible. If
the albuminous juices of an oyster are
hardened by two great or too long continued
heat it is not fit for a delicate
stomach. This is why oysters should
be cooked only uutil plump and the
edges are ruffled. For a delicate invalid
the hard muscle is often remov
- ? - -1 1 .1
e<1;in any case an oyster siiuum noi
be pierced with a fork, but should be
handled carefully in cooking.
IST" The practice of burning old and dry
grass in unocupied lands, in order
that a younger and more tender growth i
may give pasture to cattle, is disastrous ]
to the general welfare. It is not alone ]
the grass that burns, and sometimes i
adjoining pine forests, but the humus '
in the sandy soil is burnt out, and the i
future wealth and resources of the <
State are destroyed. I

Earth Over Manure.?A few \
inches of dry earth over a pile of fer- I
menting manure will effectually pre- 1
vent loss of ammonia. This is much '
more common loss where manure is
I
!
i
piled than is leaching. We doubt j
ivhether during summer and until cold
weather the piles of manure left out of
loors get more rainfall than is good
or them. This is especially true of
lorse manure which will burn into
ishes and lose most of its manurial
/alue if kept where rain cannot touch
t.?Exchange.
To Stone Raisins.?Here is the r
2orrect way to stone raisins : Free the I
aisins from the stems, and then put
:hem in a bowl. Cover them with
joiling water and let them stand for 1
;wo minutes. Pour off the water,
>yen the raisins, and the seeds can be
emoved quickly and easily without
he usual stickiness.

"Procrastination is the i
Thief of Time." j
DOUBTLESS it is your intention at <
some time to thrOw around your wife '
and children that protection which is (
guaranteed by a life insurance policy <
in a first-class company. You have <
been thinking about it for years, and '
during that time have seen numbers
of your neighbors and acquaintances J
lay" down life's burdens and leave s
those whom they claimed to love more
dearly than life itself without protec- ,
tion, and to strive as best they could to
provide themselves with clothing and "
food. Now, haven't you ? There is '
no doubt that he "intended" to protect
his loved ones, but he put it off
from day to day, for reasons that he
considered satisfactory, until it was
too late. Is there not a strong proba- s
bility that you will allow the oppor-. i
tunity to slip from your grasp? Read j
the acknowledgement in the special 1
notice columns of this paper from Mrs.
Sarah H. James, of Chester. If Mr. 1
James had postponed insuring five "
months longer his family would have i
been minus the amount of ?3,000. We ]
represent the strongest premium Life r
Insurance company in the world. Its s
plan is the correct one. We can give t
you gilt edge protection at about ?
half the cost charged by level pre- i
inium companies. See us TODAY, i
Tomorrow may be too late. s

IT'S EASY. I
IFyou are a reader of The Enquirer, j
and not a subscriber, it is probably, <
and in fact likely, due to the fact that '
you don't think yourself financially
able to subscribe for The Enquirer, ,
and so you borrow from your neighbor, J
although your conscience tells you not .
to do it1; but the conscience has no effect
when it is The Enquirer that you .
want. The easiest way to get it, is to .
give the first club maker you meet ?1.75 ^
and tell him to send you The Enquirer j
for a year. Another easy way is
TO GET UP A CLUB
Of TEN subscribers and get The En- '
quirer free. You can probably induce <
your neighbor who is not a subscriber to j
subscribe in five minutes'time. If he is y
subscriber, ask him to renew his subscription
on your club. He will do it. ]
Try the first 10 men you meet. Five 'j
minutes to each one?50 minutes?a ?
year's subscription for a club of 10. i
Can you make ?1.75 in 50 minutes in any
other way? f
Don't read a borrowed paper?your J
neighbor pays for it?but get up a club c
of TEN or more subscribers

Sach edition contains all the more impor- i

if important happenings in such a manner i
is to give the reader the greatest amount

as the semi-weekly, except at less freluent
intervals.
