Something Just as Cheap.?One evening sometime ago there was an impromptu gathering of story tellers in the rotunda of the Phoenix hotel, in- ( eluding Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, ex-Governor James B. McCreary, of Madison county and Jacob T. Patrick, of Salyersville, a well-known mountain Republican. Governor McCreary several times addressed Mr. Patrick as "Judge," to which the latter finally replied: * -? onH "Governor, i, am nui a. juuB^, ?? never was; and more than that I have no title, military, judicial or professional. I am plain Jake Patrick, the only private citizen in the entire commonwealth of Kentucky. I am not even 'Mister.' " "Well, sir," spoke up the Texas senator, "you are unique. I should think you ought to be at least a 'Colonel,' as I have always understood that in Kentucky it is the easiest and cheapest thing in the world to be a 'Colonel.' " "There is something in that," was Patrick's quick response, "it is almost as easy and cheap to be a 'Colonel' in Kentucky as to be a congressman in Texas." The laugh was on Bailey and he squared himself by asking the crowd to refresh itself at his expense.?Lexington Leader. The Colonel Also Took Something. ?One of the campaign stories that floated through the cloakroom yesterday, related to Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, and Governor Shaw, of Iowa. According to the story these two orators were stumping Kentucky. After a successful meeting the Kentucky colonel who had the two Republican statesmen in charge, invited them rofroehmPntS llllU llltr JIULCl uauvvia "What'll you have?" he asked Senator Fairbanks. "A little cold Apollinaris," was the reply. "And you?" said the host to Governor Shaw. "I think I will have a glass of buttermilk " The barkeeper turned to the Kentuckian. "What shall I give you, colonel?" he asked. The Kentucky gentleman heaved a long sigh. "Under the circumstances," he said, "I think you can give me a piece of pie."?Washington Post. The Court Ventures an Inference. ?Judge Berry's court in Lynn is busy nowadays making American citizens. The other day one of the witnesses for a candidate for citizenship took the stand to testify to the applicant's good reputation. The witness was very deaf, a fact which the judge knew nothing I about until he began to ask questions of him. "Did you ever hear anything bad about this applicant?" asked Judge Berry. "Please speak a little louder," said the witness. The judge gathered himself together, and with all nis strength again fired the question at the witness. Again the deaf witness failed to comprehend. "I guess ne never heard anything," said the judge, as he told the witness to step down.?Boston Herald. The Unready Seeker.?A Georgia darkey went out to an old field to "seek and pray." It was dusk and he knelt down and put up a long petition that the angels might come ana minister to mm. Presently he heard a flapping, as of wings behind him, and in a second he was making race-horse time on the home road, where he jumped into the bed and covered his head from sight. Suddenly there was a loud knocking at the door, and his startled wife cried: "John, git up dar, fer de Lord's sake! De angels you been seekin' is come fer you." "Le'm staoy dar," was the trembling answer. "Tell 'em thoo' de keyhole dat I ain't got no wing ter fly wid, en I too heavy to tote!" fry "I met Mark Twain on a rivei steamer when he was a very young man," said an aged westerner. "At that time he was rather a gaunt young fellow, with sleepy southern manners and a drawl peculiar to the liver towns in Missouri. Something in my appearance attracted his attention, for he stared intently at me whenever we met. It so happened that I wore on one foot an Indian moccasin, having been injured shortly before. "Finally I demanded, with some irritation, whether he had ever seen me before. He lotted me over and drawled: "Well, your face is familiar.' Then he dropped his eyes to the deck with a troubled frown. 'But I can't recall your feet.' "?New York Times. ; International Wesson. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace." We are given the choice of a Christmas lesson from Isa. ix, 1-7, but as the burden of that lesson is Israel's deliverance and future glory with but two or three sentences referring to Ilis coming in humiliation, und the lesson in Exodus is concerning a great deliverance by the same Lord, who was afterward born in Bethlehem, the Child born, the Son given, whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity (Mic. v, 2, margin), we have chosen the regular lesson, calling the attention of those who prefer the Isaiah lesson, to the throne of David tverse 7), which, according to Gabriel, the Son of Mary is yet to fill when He shall reign over the same Israel, whose great deliverance is recorded in our Exodus lessou (Luke i, 32, 33). According to Isaiah, it is the zeal of the Lord of Hosts that shall bring the kingdom, not any power or wisdom of man, and it is the zeal of the same Lord which we are to consider in our lesson today. On the great Passover night of the last lesson everything came to pass just as the Lord had said. Just 430 years after the first promise to Abram in Ur (for the 30 years probably cover the tarrying at Ilaran and the 25 years in Canaan before Isaac was born (Gen. xii, 4; xv, 13; xxi, 5), Israel came out of EjrvDt by the strength of the hand of the Lord (Ex. xiii, 3, 0, 14. 10). 000,000 foot men besides women und children (xii, 37). "He brought them forth also with Bilrer and gold, and there was not one feeble person among their tribes (Ps. cv, 37). They took the bones of Joseph with them, and the Lord Himself led them by day in a pillar of cloud und by night in a pillar of fire, which lie never took from them (xiii, 10-22). As soon as they were goDe from Egypt the herrt of Pharaoh became more hardened, aad he followed after them with all his chariots, and our lesson opens with Israel by the Red sea and the hosts of Pharaoh behind them and escape seemingly impossible. They cry to Moses, and these first two verses of our lesson give us Moses* reply to them. God leads His people into difficulties in order to show His mighty power on their behalf. 15, 16. "Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward." In connection with the Lord fighting for Israel see Deut. iii, 22; xx, 3, 4; Joshua x. 14; xxiii. 3, 10; II Chron. xx, 15, 17, 29, and then see Zech. xiv, 3, 4, concerning His coming again to fight tor Israel in connection with the kingdom to be established. It will not be by might nor by power, but by His Spirit and His zeal, yet He will use human instruments as He used Moses. There are times for us to stand still and see what He will do. and there will be a time to "go forward" at His command. On ih!' occasiou the sea divided before th?.~i before they canie to its waters, but when they crossed the Jordan the feet of the priests who bore the ark stepped into the waters before they divided (Joshua iii, 15). We must ever keep in mind that "it is God who worketh" and that our Lord said, "Without Me ye can do nothing" (Phil, ii, 13; John xv, 5), and that nothing is too hard for Him. - <-> "T>- - 14, IO. J lie i^K.tpuaua ouun ouvn that I am the Lord when I have gotten Me honor upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots and upon his horsemen." So it shall turn out that all the opposition of the adversary, whether manifest in Pharaoh, or Sennacherib, or the antichrist of the last days, or Cain, or satan himself, shall somehow bring glory to God in their overthrow. He will be exalted through all and in spite of all circumstances. Them that honor Him He will honor, while they that despise Him shall be lightly esteemed (I Sam. ii, 30), though He will be glorified in their overthrow. Faithful witnesses are unto God a sweet savor of Christ in them that are Baved and In them that perish (II Cor. ii, 15). 19, 20. "The angel of God. which went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them." He made the pillar in which He went before them to be darkness to the Egyptians, but light to Israel all the night, so He was their shield, as He said to Abram, "I am thy shield," and as the Spirit wrote through the psalmist, "The Lord God is a sun and shield" (Gen. xv, 1; Ps. lxxxiv, 11). 21, 22. "The Lord caused the 6ea to go back by a strong east wind all that night and made the 6ea dry land, and the waters were divided." So the waters were a wall unto Israel on their right band and on their left, not as at Jordan, where they were piled up as a wall on the right band and ran away to the Dead sea on the left, leaving the bed of the river dry, but in either case what a wondrous thing?the waters of the river und of the 6ea standing as a wail for hours by His mighty power. 23, 25. "Let us fiee from the face of Israel, for the Lord figbteth for them against the Egyptians." Thus said the Egyptians when in the morning watch their chariot wheels came off as they followed Israel into the midst of the sea. 26-28. "The Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. There re mained not so much as one of them." It was "in the morning watch" or "when the mo-rning appeared" (verses 24, 27) and points onward to another deliverance of which it is written, "God shall help her when the morning appearetb" (Ps. xiyi, o, margin;, me upngm suun uuw dominion in the morning. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning; therefore we wait for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning (Ps. xlix, 14: xxx, 5; cxxx, 6). Daniel came out of the lions' den victoriously, and bis enemies were cast in and perished in the morning (Dan. vi, 19-24). It was in the morning watch, after the disciples had been toiling against wind and waves all the night, that Jesus came to them (Mark vi, 48), and He will come again in the morning. Vengeance upon His enemies and deliverance for His people are often associated as in Isa. xxxiv, 8; xxxv, 4; lxiii, 4, and the first halleluiah in Scripture is found in just that association in Ps. civ, 34, 35. Thus the Lord saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw that great work which the Loid did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared the Lord and believed the Lord and His servant Moses (verses 30, 31).

( How a Philippine Woman Crossed J a River.?Just beyond San Pedro we came to the Slbalom river, the bed of j which is a mile wide, covered with little I and big bowlders, with here and there ^ a swift running stream. The main riv- ; er is probably two hundred yards wide and is easily forded, except after a i heavy rain, when it rises rapidly and g becomes a raging torrent. It usually ] subsides in a few hours after the rain ;j has ceased to fall. When the river is ? up many people gather on either bank 3 to await an opportunity to cross. j Our treasurer was once sitting on the 4 banks with a lot of natives waiting for the river to subside, and had been | there, wet, hungry and tired, for hours $ praying to get across. The river was % boiling and foaming and no one dared ? make an attempt to cross. Presently S jan old woman came along, took a look at ? I the river, gave a contemptuous glance * n the manly sex there gathered and J lien walked up the bank about a hunred yards, where she stripped off her lothing. She made a careful bundle f all her belongings, raised them above ? er head and entered the stream. The ater was over her head, but she made o attempt to swim. She would sink eneath the water until her toes touch- ( 3 a bowlder and would then give a imp. The current would give her a _ ft and send her diagonally down the tream a few yards. She kept repeatig the operation until at last she had ' jacnea me omer Dana, iar ueiuw here she had started. , ' She waded out with her bundle per- ? sctly dry, donned her clothes and vanihed through the thicket.?T'anay let?r In the Mobile Register.

It is only within recent years that any ttempt has been made to furnish the irmer with corn harvesting machinery bat is at all comparable with that long go Invented for harvesting small grain, ays Iowa Homestead. The immense \ aste of stover continued for years all . ver the corn belt, and the figures repesenting the waste, if they could be | ven conservatively estimated, would e startling Indeed. There is every reaon to believe, however, that better onditions will prevail in the future. The corn harvester appeared in 1895, lthough its introduction was some rhat slow, as is the case with all new j leas, the machine trade papers report i hat about 35,000 harvesters were sold uring the present year, and the de- land was so great that it could not be upplied. It is estimated that within a ery few years the annual sales of the orn harvester will amount to 100,000. The corn harvester and shredder lade their appearance at about the ame time and apparently to stay. The est shredders on the market now husk he corn ana shrea me siover in uue peratlon. From 8,000 to 10,000 of these . nachlnes have been sold this season, t'hlch Is nearly as many as the numler of threshing machines that are anlually sold. A single shredder, like a threshing nachlne, does duty on many farms, so hat the figures representing the sales if shredders must be read with this act In view In order to appreciate the xtent to which they are being availed if. To a much larger extent, therefore, han ever before the corn crop will In he future be a machine crop, and the errible wastes connected with It In the last, which made the economist shudler, will measureably cease.
