Where Wit Is Wild. The Rocky Mountain jester delights you with violent, boisterous, unpredictable whimsicalities. He is mannerlessJy frolicsome. There sat next me at table a married man who so reverently adored his wife that in our presence he uniformly addressed her as "Did Sweet Armies." Looking up from his ^ plate one morning at breakfast, he soliloquized in this fashion; "Folks." said ho. "I don't know where I'd he if It wasn't for my wife." The lady beamed affectionate appreciation. "Nope." continued the proud husband. "I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for my wife?she's a great drawback!" An Indiana Freak. Indiana has a freak pet of its own tthich is likely to attract some atten- j tion. J. M. Fippen and W. V. Foster, | of Tipton, are the parties to the bet. If Indiana goes for Bryan Mr. Foster is to meet Mr. Fippen on the court house square at 12 o clock election night, take off his coat, trousers and vest, and present them to hjs Demo cratic friend, with an appropriate speech which must not take less than twenty minutes in delivery. If Indiana gives McKinley a majority Mr. Fippen is to do the disrobing act and make the speech of presentation. Dest For tho Covvels.

The great trouble in trying to sell what are called patent medicines is that so many claims have been made for them that people don't or won't believe what honest makers say.

Subject: Tbo Hlch Mun nn<l l.nz\rns, Luke xvi., 19-31?t.olden Text: Mutt. I., SO? Memory Vernon, 19-22?Comnientary on the Pay's Lesson. 19. "A certain rich man." .Testis cioe3 hw name. lie has often been called Dives, the Latin for "rich.'' "Clothed in purple and fine linen." His outer dress was costly purple from Tyre, his undti garments were tine linen from Egypt. The Egyptian linen, or byssns. is said to have sold for twice its weight in gold. "Fared sumptuously." lie lived in a luxurious and costly manner and feasted every day. What then are the sins charged against this man, that were so soon to sen! him to a place of torment? He was not immoral, dishonest or dr inken. but lie was proud, extravagant and worldly. He lived to please himself. 2s). "A certain beggar." Literally, a poor man. "Named Lazarus." "A form of Elcaznr. wli ich means. "God is my help." " His name is mentioned because his character was good and his end glo- ' rious. and it is the purpose of God that I the righteous shall be held in everlasting j remembrance. If this be a parable, it is J the only instance in which Jesus, in giving a parable, has given a proper name. "Laid at hi< gate." There was then no ) public provision for the poor, and when disabled they were often laid at the gates of the rich, tbrt they might receive aid. "Full of sores." Covered with sore-:, as persons of his ela?s are likely to be, from neglect and had living. 21. "Desiring to be fed." Tt is nrobable that his desires were complied with. "With the crumbs." With the broken pieces which were left and were thrown under the table for the dogs. "The clogs fame." The wild eyed, ownerless dew that romn in the streets of an Eastern city and act as scavengers. In contrast with tne inhumanity of men toward the horrtrnr is set the pity of the dogs; they licked his sores as they lick their own. We have before us the characters and lives o? two men occupying very different positions in this world. One was a leader in society, very wealthy and highly respected, the other v.tis a despised and loathsome beggar. Hut (tod does net look upon men as we do. He sees the heart, and is never deceived by a pompous exterior. In the next world these men change places?the beggar is the rich man,' ami the rich man is the beggar. 22. "The beggar died." His burial was so inferior that no mention is made of it. He filled a pauper's l>ox and was carted to a pauper's grave. There were no flowers and no mourners. "Carried by angels.'' There was a rustling of snowy wings as angels came to kiss the redeemed spirit home to God. "Abraham's bosom." That is. the happy side of Hades, where the saints were regarded as resting in bliss. Abraham's bosom was a phrase used j among the Jews to signify the paradise of God. It is an allusion to the custom of persons reclining on their left elbows at feast*: the person whose head came near the breast of the other was said to lie in his bosoin. "The rich man also died." Death conies to the rich as well as the I nonr. "And was ounea. mere ?i?uic Ion? proces>ion of the funeral solemnities through t'ie streets of Jerusalem, the crowd of hired mourners, the spices and ointment wrapping his body and the costlv sepulchre on which the virtues of the departed were recorded This, however, profits him nothing, for death has been for him an awakening from his flattering dream of ease and self-enjoyment to th? stern and terrible realities of eternity. 23. "And in hell.'' "In Ilades." (R. V".) The Scriptures contain four words that arc rendered "hell" in the Authorized Version. They arc Hades, Sheol, Gehenna and Tartaros. Sheol is a Hebrew word, and is equivalent to the Greek word Hades. Gehenna, as used by Christ, designates a state or place of retribution. Tartaros is a dark prison where the fallen ! angels await their doom. Hades is used in the New Testament as the abode of all *' ' 'i'U- nra in iho nar.1. me ueparieu. ini; i;??" ?"? t adise of Hades, or Abraham's bosom; the bad arc in the Tartaros of Hades, or a place of darkness and torment. In this sense JosephUs understands the meaning of Hades. "Seeth Abraham, etc." This was the lirst circumstance in his punishment. 24. "Father Abraham." This is the only instance recorded where prayer is offered to a saint, and this was from hell, and was not granted. J lis calling Abraham father and Abraham's recognition of him as son show that he was a Jew. "The tip of his finger." That he mav bring me even the smallest possible relief. 25. "Son. remember." Oh. memory! Thou will never die! This is a solemn and calm reply; no mockery of his state, and no grief concerning him either. "Thy j good things." Here was the charge against him. Tie had enjoyed the pleasI nrr<<??the wealth and the honors of the world. "Evil things." Lazarus lias had poverty, contempt and distress. 20. "A great gulf fixed." It will he utterly impossible for a soul who leaves this world without having repented, to ever gain admittance into the paradise of God. God has "fixed" an imnassabla gulf. 27. "I pray thee, etc." IIow earnestly [ does this lost soul desire to have this reoue*t?Tinted.. His influence had no doubt led his brethren to live in the same careless way that he had lived. 28. "Lest they also come." He shows j more interest in them now than he did when he was with them on earth. He might justly fear lest their reproaches should add to his own misery. 20. "Moses and the prophets." The books written by Moses and the prophets. "Let them hear them." Let them hearken to the warnings and instructions given them in the Scriptures. 20. "From the dead." Moses and the prophets had failed to lead him to salva- I tion, and he feared his brethren would be lost. "They will repent." He thus acknowledges that he had fai'ed to repent, and that his '.ormer.t was ust. He also sees that the only way to be saved is by repenting. 31. "Neither will they be persuaded." The Scriptures contain all that is neces-i sary to lead men to God. If those who have the Bible, and gospel preaching, will not repent, there is no influence that could be brought to bear upon them that would be availing. Even a messenger from the dead could add nothing to the written Word, and such a message would be much more uncertain; those who reject the Bible would certainly reject such a testimony. Teachings?Men should beware cf priding themselves in their riches. God's love, or His displeasure, cannot be'judged by outward circumstances; His enemies' may "flourish like the green bay trce,"i while His own people may. for wise reasons, be "destitute, afflicted, tormented," * To Cure a Cold In One Day.
