I i \ I HOT LINERS. from Billy Sunday's Bat Ta" ( bernacle at New York. ' Some people are only religious on Sunday, and then its only looks. One reason why some people find t so hard to behave is because they >nly work at it a few minutes at a 1 ime ' The trouble with so many comnunities is that the wrong gang got here in the first place. For instance, he most godless lot of infidels in the 1 Vest settled in Nebraska. Whenever wealth and piety become 1 ynonymous terms, the devil will eave this old world. Some of you i lave a little religion before you come : nto a little money.but when you get i h% money you lose what little piety ' oil ever had. I have known of good men who i iave had poor sticks of fathers, but ] never knew of good men who had niserable, card-playing, theatre-go- < rig-sort of empty-headed flirts for nothers like a whole lot of women i ire nowadays. I The Bible does not say that Job ; eas perfect in the sight of his wife; i le was perfect in the sight of God. ' f I thought I had to please every- i >ody or miss heaven,I'd simply have o thtow up the sponge and take the i ount. If Job had to be perfect in he sight of his neighbors, he would i lever wear a crown There's not one if us who could please all the people i or even one week if our lives delended on it. There's hardly a man i'ho would be perfect in the sight of lis wife for three days. I don.t know i my man who can please his wife for ifteen minutes. The humblest can please God if hey are earnest and do their best, t's a thousand times easier to please Jrtd than our neighbors. The reason 3,God knoAS everything about it, vhile our intimate friends know little. Job was an upright man. This neans that he had an honesty that ould stand the light of heaven, iome men are so crooked they could lide behind a corkscrew. I can't unlerstand why some fellows refuse to relieve the Bible when they gulp lown everything some horse jockey ells them.or else fall for some bunko :ame and buy a gold brick. Job had a character that stood out ike a pyramid against the devil's >usiness. If you want to find out t hat a hard fight the devil can make, vhat a hot fire he can wage, live lose enough to God to punch holes n the devil's business. You'll begin o find the air smelliDg like sulphur lot from the pit of hell. Some of -ou church members don't believe in ire and brimstone?you would if you rot clear out on God's firing line, that's what Job did, and that's why he devil opposed him. As soon a3 jod declared tnatjoo was periecut vas up to the devil to prove that he vasn't. It's the devil's business to >ombard everybody that God speaks veil of. He has done that from Adam lown until the present time. Delightful Entertainment.

Manv beiner suggested I for increasing our^^P >>elds, and Ij want to make one that n2?teen tried j out by Mr Geraty.the Young^?Island cabbage grower,who vouches for itT practicability and success. As every grower of the tomato know3, the plant generally succumbs to the hot, dry summer season and if we have tomatoes after the first early crop they come from a second planting. Mr Geraty says six plants put out according to his plan will furnish fruit to a family of six the entire 3ummer and fall and until freezing weather in the winter. Here it is: Dig a trench 2* to 3 feet wide and as long as you please,so as to give the plants a 4-foot spacing on the bed. Fill the trench to a depth of 12 inches with lot, cow or stable manure. Every four feet on this bed of manure,and resting on top of the manure, place a piece of breken terra-cotta piping or four bricks on end,so arranged as to form a hollow space inside. Then fill in the trench with six inches of good top soil and put out the tomato plants, one between each joint of piping. As the plants grow drive four stakes around them and tie strings about the stakes, so that the tomato grows upward. Stakes should be at least three feet high. Do not prune or pinch back the plants at all. When hot, dry weather comes, pour an abundant supply of water down on the bed of manure through each of the pipesjand therootsoftheplants will seek this moist fertilizer,causing a marvelous growth and fruitage, which will continue until frost, and when the cold spells come in late fall, cover each plant with an old sack or two, and fruit will continue to ripen until freezing weather. Every person who can do so should ery this simple method. E F Miller, Sumter, S C. [In connection with the above article Mr Miller writes us that"Pyrox" is a preventative of blight. Dust the plant.both root and branches,before setting out, and apply again after tomatoes get started.?Ed.] A committee appointed to review the general wool situation in England, with a view of reserving sufficient wool for military purposes,has recommended that a limited number of articles in which wool forms an important part be standardized for the home trade.

B JEWELER, 'CONFEDERATES IN ANNUAL REUNION. CONFEDERATE VETERANS, SONS OF VETERANS AND DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY IN CAPITAL. Probably the largest number of SoutheFQers ever gathered in a city north of Potomac are in the National Capital today. They include' Confederate Veterans, Sons of Veterans, Daughters of the Confederacy, sponsors, maids of honor, chaperons and thousands of visitors who have come to attend the twenty-seyenth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans,the first gathering of its kind ever held outside of Confederate territory. Grand Army men were mingling with their old-time opponents in gray and in addition Spanish War Veterans and the men now in training for service in France added a touch of color unique in American history.
