The day was fast approaihing when, tho timt of residenre reuwnred by tho governeinet, having bein fulfilled, the homtestead claitn) w,-ld be their own. Their small cropp, cultivated ats well as a boy whose .%:l1 perlhtips was greater than his ability could cultivate theit, were sufiient for their modest needs, am( if their neans were sctnty their wants wero carefully kept dowin to them.

For metal objects, especially if they wore bright, ho had the greatest liking. Mrs. Baxter's thimble would disappear, to be perhaps found in some odd corner or crevice. Spools of thread were to be dis covered poked into the bedding, in the kindling box, behind the wash bonch, nut of doors under big chips and good JIess knows where else. Part of a paper of tunoks left carolossly about one day attracted Lijor's atten tion, and ho mado a number of trips be tween it and the broad sponge that Mrs. Baxter had left on tho tablo all ready for tho oven when a neighbor dropped in.

The same morning after break fast I came back to the store and told iter Will Colton the policeman said there :tor, was Eomething wrong last night and I OU- wanted to know what It was. Ho re plied that he did not know what it was. rhe policeman having told me tha, in oth- the early part of the night Colton and ing. Dr. Smith wore up there, I asked him if he was sure he didn't know that and anything was wrong. Said no ho 110y d!dn't. I did not find out until Dr. Smith came. My relations with Dr. Smith have always been pleasant, but I can't s&3 ed as much In reference to my relations ,e it with one of the clerks. I deny emphatically returning to the drug store after leaving Will Colton kon on Col. Young's co,-ner until 5.30 in the a a morning, when I found the policeman (IS) in charge. Furthermore, I take this opportuntity to brand as an infamous and contemptible liar the person or persons who by insinuation thus seeks to blacken my life, when I have tried N for nearly fifty years to build up a name , for honeusty and integrity. About the candle, rubbish, straw and oil, peoplO will draw their own conclusion. I had N nothing to do with their placing or ar rangement. Since I have been in Union If any know aught against me let them say ille so. My friends will bear me out that l)r ny actions have always been to the ie plumb line and I have been fair and square with all mankind, and those who are disposed to give credence to this fahehood danaging to me and mine stop and think that "l he who ai m1Ily purse steals trash," but he to w .o filches fro a me my good name Ces takes that wnich enriches him not and makes mo poor indeed. 'Tho abovo is my statement. The ar people among whom I have lived will be- not be hasty in jumping at conclusions. .nli Bifore God I have given a straight account. Let justice rule. ,be W. M. MEADOR. No The Good Samaritan MI e. Moody, atone of h is recent meet inn in New York, read the story of "e The Good Samaritan," and then Les said : ut It's a good thing to take a parable ed like this and look it straight in the ed face. Who is our neighbor? I don't w think we need anyone to explain that. )or I t's pretty plain, but somo of us have 't- been pretty long finding it out, and most of us haven't found out yet. lany a man has como to New York Pd ind been shipwrecked and fallen amongst thieves. Soinctimnes they A havo killed him as they (lid that )n- gentleman from Colorado the other S(lay, but more often they have only wounded him. I regret to say that n there are many so-called Christians nd who will see a man in distress and won't he t.p him because he doesn't belong to their parish. Somo ministers are the sd Same way. ed The trouble with such is that their li religion i iall I) in their head; it never struck into their hearts at all. They 'I have the big head and the little heart. nb L')ts f men are head heavy. They'd he toppe over backwards if they stood up too straight. a11 In the parable, the first man that S came along was the priest. He was .nl probably on his way to hold some ser vet vice at the Temple. When he saw the Sas wounded man he probably said: "That nrt main is badly hurt, hut I can't stop to au- attend to him for he is not in mny en- parish. If he were I'd certainly come vas to him as soon as I had seen the comn alt mittee about It." And he passedi on. en-, I pity these men who are always wait bor ing for a committee to appoint them. nd- Somne years ago, there wasi a man in Ceil this town who lived near- the North *vas River, and1 in the afternoon of a cold led winter's day he heard a man calling ardi for help who hadl fallen th rough the ~ry- ace. Hie sat in his house and heard aim the mar. cr'y over and over again, and hat did nothing to heip him, but let him aim drown. The next day the peole learn had ed about it andl they drove that cruel, nan hevartlet-s man out of town. )r., That was right, wasn't it? aw- Oh, it was? Then look at yourselves and see what you are dioing. Are you omn- not doantg worse than he did in letting T. that fellow drown ? All around you In Pho New York cries for help are being ter- heard,,and you are passing by on the irn- other side. You 53ay when you see a man in dis p~ut tress, "' Oh, how I pity him." 'ouQ I wouldn't give the snap of my finger ave for the pity that does not help him to 'n get up again. ver' The next one that camne along the to road( wats the Le3vite. He was a sort of re- church warden, a steward. The wound ed mlan lay about one hundred yards : iaywhen the Levite saw him. H-I hdanother turn of mind. He said: ing "' It's dreadful that a man can't takena rug simple little journey In broad daylight m I without beir. g molested by robbers. 1)re, When [ get back to the city I'll sea hat Pilate and have an act p~assed by the .ln't logislature to appoint a committee to of guard the reads, and very likely my out uiame will be put at the head of it. It's nly a great shame." And he passed on. ked There's a Christianity of works as en. well as of words. Words are cheap. We few can get erloads of fine sermons, but a in what we want is sermons with hands n to ahd feet on them. Enough beautiful the sermons are preached to convert the :mid whoie city. ar as The next person that came along was aid the Samaritan. I can see his cheerful ated smiling face as he stooped to help the new sulffering man and bathe his wounds '! realr oil in them. Seime carry oil mry3 .0 pour in the wounds of those they P~ted~ meet. A good many more carry vine ~bor irar, and they always give you vinegar. baair~ Don't be like themi. r. 15 That Jow was sick and wounded, and andl that good Samaritan put him on uie- his beast and went, afoot himself. He aind took him to ana inn, ie fedoahim, and ray, left, money to psay for his board until he teh retuiraed. a so Don't ask inc the creced of that Samna was ritan, I don't know his creed. Seine few pecople are so) pariticular ab~out creedls.I lootr I tell you that any creed that willi ig's promrpt you to put your armi under an oct. otb iir man and help him up to God is a n I grand creed. )nme TIhe .Jows hatecd th a Samaritans. ing D~on't condeinan them. [fats of us aroe maid just as bad ourselves. I've sat In a car we and seen an Irish woman pull hoar mae. skirts away from a colored woman who ates sat beside her, and a few minutes -lateor I've seen the colored wonmn pull ng, her skir-ts wlay from a Chinamnan.
