tumorous department. A MATRIMONIAL LOG. This dairy pretends to truthfully record the story of the bunch of school teachers that the government sent tc the Philippines recently: Wednesday?There are 600 teachers aboard, 160 of them women. Some arc mere girls?others are merely girlish All are bound for the Philippines Many of them, no doubt, would be glad to touch at the port of matrimony or the way. Thursday?There is spooning going on everywhere, all over the boat. All the handsomest men are in great demand. One fine looking fellow froir Cleveland, in order to escape irom attentions of six Boston spinsters, spends most of his time in the foretop. II isn't at all comfortable up there, bul he says he prefers it. Friday?First engagement announced. He is just out of college and 23. She is a Portland schoolma'am and 37, The example seems to be contagiousthree more engagements were announced by noon. Saturday?Captain says he can't work the ship unless the spooners get out of the way. The captain is not a sentimental person. All the sailors gc round with broad grins on their faces. It is supposed to come from hearing sc much lovey?dovey talk. The bos'n is the only one of them that keeps a sour face. It is said he has been married four times. The engagement roll now numbers 11. Sunday?This was a day of rest for everybody, except the spooners. The steward says he doesn't care how much love making they do on board. It's a great saving for him, he says. Those who are the deepest in love don't care to eat. Nineteen engagements to date. . Monday?The captain says there's no use talking, the serenading business has got to stop. The sailors can't hear the orders because of the love songs. There's a Chicago school ma'am with a mandolin, who makes life miserable for everybody. She sings the saddest love songs every night until 12 o'clock. The captain says he'll either put her in irons, or feed her to the sharks. Twenty-four engagements up to 6 o'clock. Tuesday?Thirty couples petitioned the captain today to permit them to be married on board. He said he'd be jammed if he would. He was ordered to carry over to the Philippines a lot of salaried school teachers, and he meant to do his duty. He wasn't running any floating tootsie-wootsie shop, and he wanted them to know it. The kind of knots he was interested in were the kind that a ship is expected to encourage. He said a lot more about most of them being old enough to know better?and the Massachusetts girls didn't like it one bit. The 30 couples have agreed to get married as soon as they reach Honolulu; but the others have reluctantly concluded to wait until they get to Manila.?Cleveland Plain Dealer. SHE ORDERED LEMONADES. She was entertaining a friend from a town in the northern part of the s*ate, and when the beauties of the park and the wonders of the breweries had been enjoyed, the drive to Whiteflsh Bay was next in order. There was the usual crowd at the resort; but they were fortunate in getting a table. A hurried waiter presently swooped down upon them to wipe pools of beer on the table and to take their order. "Two lemonades," said the hostess, timid but dignified. The pleasure seekers gave their attention to the music and the crowd and enjoyed the general animation, while the band disposed 01 iwo numoers on the programme, and still the lemonade did not appear. "We want two lemonades," she called to a waiter rushing past. The band played selections from "Princess Chic." She looked with growing anxiety at her watch and hailed a third waiter with: ' i? "We are In a hurry and want our lemonades." Just as "Princess Chic," was brought to a triumphant close, two lemonades were placed before the two women, and were promptly paid for. Before all the straws had been tested the second waiter swept two lemonades from his tray to the table. "We have been served," the hostess said with dignity. "You ordered from me," was his reply. "Yes, but?," she began. "I paid for this, now you pay me," said the waiter, looking obdurate. "I wouldn't do it," interposed her friend, indignantly: but the waiter waited. The bandmaster was raising his baton to begin "The Bohemim Girl" when the third waiter appeared on the scene. # With dexterity he swept the glasses on the table and with a flourish presented two more lemonades. "We have lemonades," she faltered. "You ordered from me," he replied, with the air of one sure of his position. "Yes, but?" "I paid for it, now you pay me," was the response. Her face would have softened the heart of any man out of "professional hours," but the waiters waited. She looked from them to the smiling crowd around them and felt she was "in for it." so she paid for the six lemonadespaid for them like a man. "And. just think of it." she said, with tears in her eyes as she told the story, "they were 10 cents a glass."?Milwaukee Sentinel. Mother Always Won.?They are not exactly bad boys, these two in a certain East Memphis family; but they are invariably quarreling and fighting with one another. Probably it was the fact of frequent parental intervention that causes the few pauses in hostilities. At any rate, they are rather famous in their neighborhood. One day not long since one of the neighbors, who was fond of contests of any kind, asked: "Edwin, when you and your brother fight so much, who generally whips?" Edwin gave a little wriggle as if in sympathy with memories of recent occurrences. .and said. resignedly: "Mother."?Memphis Scimitar. International Xrssoit. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. I ! ' LESSON XI, THIRD QUARTER, INTER NATIONAL SERIES, SEPT. 15. Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxxtl. 1-32. Memory Verse*, 24-28?Golden Text, I Luke xvilS, 1?Commentary Prepared by the Ret. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1901, by American Press Association.] : 1, 2. "And Jacob went on bis way, and I the angels of God met hiin." In our last lesson the Lord and the angels appeared i to him as he was leaving home, and now, after 20 years (chapter xxxi, 38, 41), as i he is about to return home with wives ; and children and servants and much cat tie, the angels of God meet him. In what wondrous grace the Lord deals with this man! And lie is Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever (Heb. ' xiii, 8) and has just the same grace for you and for me. In chapters xxix to xxxi, inclusive, between the last lesson . and this one, we have an- account of Jacob's 20 years with Laban, his faithful service, his marriage, his increase and the Lord's special care of him (chapter ' xxxi, 11-13, 24, 29); also in verses 44 to 1 55 the incident of the covenant between > Laban and Jacob at Galeed or Mizpah as , they separate^ , 3-8. Jacob sent messengers to Esau, his , brother, and on their return, learning . that Esau was coming to meet him with 400 men, he becomes filled with fear and distress and attempts to provide for the safety of at least a portion of his company. Notwithstanding all God's gra cious care of him these many years, he , does not seem to have learned to trust ! Him without fear. 9-12. In humility he looks to God and pleads His promises to him, acknowledging all His great goodness with gratitude. This is always a right attitude toi ward God. The assurances of God when he left his home and when he was ahoui , to return should have delivered him from x ! all fear concerning Esau's treatment of 8 him. But many believers are not any F more trustful now, for with such assur- t anees as John x, 27-29; Phil, i, G; II Tim. c i, 12, etc., there are those who have their s fears lest they may not reach home, but j , be lost somewhere by the way. 13-23. He prepared a great present for , Esau that he might therewith appease ' him?five droves of goats, sheep, camels, e cows and asses?580 in all, with instruc- r ' tions to those in charge of the droves as d to what they shall say to Esau when x they meet him. It looks as if he felt that j he must do somewhat to help God in this . matter. He evidently believed the world's motto used by many believers, ^ "God helps those who help themselves." r but the teaching of Scripture is that God e helps those who cannot help themselves, t and we must come to an end of ourselves before we can know His power (Ps. Ixxii, 12; cvii, 27. 28; Isa. xl. 29. and all His miracles). t 24. "And Jacob was left alone, and c there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of day." The margin says until the ascending of the morning. It is s not Jacob wrestling with a man that he ^ might prevail over him, but the man t wrestles with Jacob that he may conquer ii Jacob, and Jacob evidently stoutly re- f sists him until the morning. God is ever j seeking to break us down, to humble us. to bring us to the end of ourselves, that He may bless us indeed and show us His c strength and magnify Himself in us. a 25, 2G. Toward morning the man who o wrestled with Jacob touched the hollow i of Jacob's thigh and put it out of joint, s so that Jacob could no longer resist, after j which Jacob clung in his helplessness, f saying, I will not let thee go except thou bless me. This is the secret of prevail- e ing with God, our helplessness clinging to F His power. Consider those who came to t Him when He was on earth for us and f see how in every case His power was ^ made manifest on behalf of utter help- h lessness: the Mind, the lepers, the woman with the issue, those at the point of c death and those who had died. t 27. 28. "Thy name shall be called no 1 more Jacob, but Israel, for as a prince p hast thou power with God and with men r aud hast prevailed." We cannot got our ^ new name of saint until we confess that we are and have been sinners and naught hut sinners. Jacob must acknowledge n himself as Jacob or supplanter (chapter u xxvii, 30. margin) before he can receive ji his new name of Israel (margin, a prince v of God). The Spirit through Uosea says, "By his strength he had power with God; yea. be had power over the angel and pre- 0 vailed: he wept and made supplication ^ unto Him; he found Him in Bethel, and c there He spake with us, even the Lord o God of hosts: the Lord is his memorial" a (Hos. xii. 3-5). Then follows the ex- a hortation to turn to God and wait on God continually. This is the secret of prevailing prayer, persistent clinging to a God alone, pleading only our need and v His great mercy. We will always have o occasion to say, "Though our iniquities jj testify against us, do Thou it for Thy j, name's sake" (Jer. xiv, 7). When we ? take the place of utter helplessness and unworthiness and, like Jacob, cry, I will a not let the.? go. we skull see fulfillments of 9 John xiv 13. 14. and similar promises, f This is the first mention of the great h name of Israel, a name that always is v used to designate Jacob or his posterity. g It is never used as a name for the church, not even in Gal. vi. 1G, where it evidently means the believers in Israel, 11 who are spoken of in addition to other a believers. There is no authority for the b term "spiritual Israel." though it may t properly be used in reference to true be- f lievers in Israel, but should never be ap- s i plied to gentiles. We must not confound j the church with Israel, nor the kingdom with either, though both will be very s prominent in the kingdom. P 29-32. "He blessed him there." So Ja- s cob called the name of the place Peniel t (margin, the face of God), for he said. I t have seen God face to face, and my life a i is preserved. This and Ex. xxiv, 11: xxxiii. 20, in the light of John I. 18, teach r i that every manifestation of God is '' through Ilis Son. In Eden as well as k here and in all the other appearances of b God we must recognize nim whom we I know as the Son of God, our Lord Jesus 0 Christ, the Lord of hosts, the Lord God s of Israel, Jehovah of the Ohl Testament, who by His precious blood shed for us 0 has provided eternal redemption and a r joint heirship with flimself for all who d receive Him. It would seem that Jacob r carried with him from that time the evl- r dence of that night's conflict, and we t must never forget that we have been reh- j. : els against Ood, children of disobedience, and by His grace have been redeemed. * We must learn to know that in us?that s is. in our flesh?there dwelleth no good s thing (Rom. vii, IS) and glory in the Lord 1 alone, seeing no man but Jesus only and s coveting above all things His blessing, j which makoth rich (Mark ix. 8; Prov. s, j, 22.

The child who was {n ittacked is better; but has not yet hJ >assed the time when the disease may se >e communicated to another child.

It turned Bi >ut that those who sounded tne alarm lad seen water instead of fire, or rath- tn r steam instead of smoke.

Two Negroes, however, ^1 rere somewhat scalded Several f the little boys in town have Shet- w' and ponies.

Lex does not have a mo- M lopoly of its service, as we see persons . good deal larger making It useful in ba tarness. The little Nichols boys have bt he smallest pony in town.

Little boys like in tonies better than anything else. Their P'; nr.rvnrl ic n t All DOli- ^ ieians are funny at times when trying pl 0 reconcile past and present utter- po .noes. It is Senator Tillman's turn pe iow. The wicked newspapers wouldn't te et the dead past bury its dead; but L( ;ept reminding him of the time when le was threatening to jump out of the th )emocratic pasture and graze on any w' Id thing on the western plains. Such uggestions aroused his wrath. He be- su ame naughty and denied with vehe- w' nent asseverations that he ever had a th lisloyal thought toward tne Democratic u< it| | tarty, and called the newspapers bad lames. Hut the papers did not mind '11 .iat; they had a curiosity to see what * le would say next. Now a man of a ympathellc nature will change the ubject rather than run anotner per- is on into an undignified or embarrass- 1111 ng situation; but some people are not a ymputhetie, and so some of the newstapers quoted Senator Tillman's own 111 anguage on him, which he had repeat- sn idly used in various forms. The people cmetnbered it and it was down on the eeord, and it couldn't nave any two ni neanings. It was plain language. Our vvi coders may know that he sometimes M ises that variety of language. That is di 1 good kind to use when it is to stand M hat way forever; but. like the work M if some old fashioned carpenters, it on s powerfully unsuitable when you an vant to remodel it. In such a predica- .. ent Mr. Tillman seems to have con- dj uded that nothing was to be gained N j further denial; that it would be bet- M r to make a bold confession and at- L mpt to justify his inclination to jump la few years ago upon the ground of S< ie conditions that then existed, and ai i we have the following soul-refresh- N g utterance in "what he would have N dd at Spartanburg:" "I spoke very sc tterly of Cleveland's policy and pro- y aimed my desire for a union between Si e southern and western farmers, and oi >clared I was ready to lead a revolt ;ainst the Democratic party as then 01 d, and leave it if need be, whenever I l w anywhere to go, and made allu- bi ons to "a light in the west" as a sig- h il." After this it is not necessary for aI e prosecuuun tu miruuute an; iui- qj ier testimony. Of course, most of our re aders remember enough about the y( tuatlon to know that he did not jn ive "anywhere to go;" the Populist w irty was all fuss and feathers; the p? Ight in the west" failed. We have al- jy ays been of the opinion that he would 0j tve attempted to go it blind if the p] emocrats of South Carolina had ^ town a disposition to follow. Indeed re i says: "What I said about leaving (e party then was not the prevailing ntiment in South Carolina." And yet s had declared just before, when M leaking of the same period of time, 92-6: "I make bold to assert that it for my Influence and the influence 20 the men allied with me, the state jj ould have gone to the Populists that p( ;ar by an overwhelming vote." Now g, e again call upon our friends David j,( agill, of Greenwood, to secure a set- jj, ement of this question, sending to the jS emocrats of the state inquiries such 0j 1 we suggested a few days ago, viz: g< Did Senator Tillman hold you in line C( id would you have gone to the Popu- ai it party had it not been for his influ- m ice?" Would you have followed him a] to the Populist party if he had gone w mself?" Of course, after this is j-j ttled, it will still remain" to reconcile m ie two statements last quoted above: it we can't think of any one who jr ould likely undertake the Herculean j)] sk'of pulling them together. rl GASTON. tt Gastonia News, September 3: Yes- st rday afternoon Mrs. Jenette Glenn, of ?* owder's Creek, called to see her sis- OI r, Mrs. Margaret Glenn.

GRAIN DRILLS are now essential appliances to all good farming, and it has been demonstrated that drilling saves seed and Increases the yield. Drills have been in use for years; but the enterprising manufacturers have kept pace with the march of improvement until today Grain Drills are perfect. The pioneer manufacturers have watched every point and used laborsaving devices, and long experience, gives opportunities to improve. More than 50 years ago the BICKFORD & HUFFMAN CO., of Macedon, N. Y., put on the market the first, known as the "Farmers' Favorite." Prior to that time grain was universally sown broadcast. This pioneer machine marked an epoch in the evolution of seeding devices and its great value was instantly recognized. In 1867 Lyman Bickford patented a successful forcefeed distributor for grain, and tne principles involved remain in use today, a tribute to the genius of its originator. For more than half a century the Bickford & Huffman Company have been in the van with Improved devices for sowing grain, until the "FARMERS' FAVORITE" is favorably known in every grain-growing country in the world. The rapidly increasing foreign trade, as well as the steadily growing demand at home, has compelled the company to make frequent additions to their plant, until they have one of the best equipped factories in the country, devoted exclusively to the manufacture of grain drills. "Not how cheap, but how good," is the motto adopted by the company, and the twentieth century product combines many special features of excellence. One of these is the stub axle and roller bearings. Attached to the side arms of frames, (which is of steel), are stub axles, upon which the ground wheels revolve, and which carry the entire weight of the drill. xne main axie, wnicn passes rnrougn the stub axles, is merely required to run the mechanism, sustains no weight and therefore there is the minimum of friction. The roller bearings encircling the stub axle, and revolving between it and the hub of the ground wheel, very greatly reduce friction. These make the drills of light draft and easy to operate. Two years ago steel ribbon grain tubes were introduced and their growing popularity recommends them. This tube is made of one continuous piece of ribbon steel, is perfectly flexible and cannot buckle and stop the flow of grain and is practically indestructible.
