Thb peace envoys are to receive

take their time. The job is good

Palo Pinto county is to have a
prohibition election. It was car-
ried by the antis two years ago,
aud the present contest promises
to be a “knife to the hilt” affair.
—Brtkinridge Democrat,
No city of size and enterprise
should be without a committee,
even if there is but one on it, to
see that “the stranger within $he
gates” worthy it be welcomed and
shown the residence and business
accractions. The disposition is too
often to “take him in” to bis im-
mediate sorrow and occasionally
lasting regret. Our citizens could
profitably employ some one of in-
tegrity, courtesy and good judg-
ment to get bmy with the visitor
htie in a right way.

Heiress Ilah Jordon, of Macon,
Pa., has broken her engagement
to marry Diplomatist Luis Corea,
of the Nicaraguan legation in
Washington. Gossips accused
Coera of having Negro blood. He
produced his genealogical tree in
contradiction, but the heiress de-
cided that their love had b en
given so much notoriety that it
ought o be Oslerized.
Prof. E. J. Miller, examiner at
the University of Chicago, created
a stir before the junior college in
chapel to day when he piesented a
list of questions wh’ch he declared
ought to be asked every man before
he received his bachelor degree.
The professor argued that univer-
sity educat on developed the mind,
not the heart. In order to test the
finer feelings of candidates for
college honors, he suggesetd a
number of questions including the
following:
Do you see anything to love in
a little child?
Have you sympathy with all
good causes?
Can you look straight in the eye
ol an honest man or a pure woman?
Will a lonely dog follow you?
Do you believe in lending
helping hand to weaker men?
Do you bel eve in taking advan-
tage of the law when you can do
so?
Can you be high minded and
happy in drudgery?
Can you see as much beauty in
washing dishes and hoeing corn as
in playing golf and the piano?
Do you know the value of time
and money?
Are "ou good friends with your-
s«lf?
Do you see anything in life but
dollars and cents?
Can you see sunshine in a mud
puddle?
Can you see beyond the stars?
The questions which the profes
sor propounded had a visible effect
on the class and every now and
then some student was seen shifting
uneasily in his place.
A certain lady living in this
city, having never before rode on
the train.-started to visit h«r hus-
band in a nearby tow 11 last Sun-
day. Having secured a ticket and
got aboard, the cars began to
move off; the conductor passing by
s' e called him aud said: “Mr.
Conductor, can’t you let it go
little slow

(Continued from last week.)
The advocates of fermented
wine make agreat ado about Paul’s
advice to Timothy to “take a little
wine for his stomach sake and his
oft infirmities.” This text has
been used by many an old toper as
an excuse for drinking whiskey and
other intoxicants. They say that
Paul knew what he was talking
about and that he advissd Timo-
thy to take a little wine.
Instead of this being an endorse-
ment of drinking intoxicants, it is
exactly the reverse. Paul was a
educated in all the sciences of his
day, and he knew the grateful and
healing effects unfermented wine,
or grape juice on the stomach.
The pure juice of the grape is
more like pureblood than anything
else in nature, and is more easily
digestedand assimilated and enters
more quickly into the circulation
and makes tissue more quickly
than any other kind of food.
Timothy was a dyspeptic, and
needed something easily digested
to promote his health; and, know-
ing the heath giving properties of
grape juice, or unfermented wine,
Paul naturally recommended it to
Timothy for his stomach sake and
his of infirmities; as any other man
knowing the chemical properties
of grape juice and its action on a
weak stomach would do.
Before closing this subject I want
to ask why most Christians use
fermented wine in the Holy sup-
per, when they know, or should
know its bad representativ charac-
ter?
This question I cannot answer,
except that it may not be so con-
venient to get the unfermented
wine, as it is to accept some kind
of vile stuff called and when in all
probability has not a particle of
grape juice in it, because it if ofteii
given by the saloon men to the
parson” or deacon.
1 don’t know how much this is
practiced, but \ fear toa much for
the benefit of the temperance
cause. Accepting wine from the
saloon men, even were it the prop-
er kind, puts a cudgel ii» their
hand to fight the temperance
cause.
Christian people have not given
this subject the thought it de-
mands, or they would not be using
fermented wiue for any purpose
and, last of all, for sacramental
purposes.
Another, aud very potent reason
why fermented wine should not be
used in that it is extremely dan-
gerous for a man who has been
addicfed to drink, to use it at the
Lord’s supper.
1 have heard of instances where
men had given up the drink habit
and professed religion, and was
living a Christian life, but fell and
became drunkards again afteritast-
ing fermented wine at the Lord's
supper,Jhaving had had the sleep-
ing demou awakened in them
again.
I would then ask every candid
Christian man and woman to in-
vestigate this question, and when
they have done so, 1 amjsure that
they will come to the conclusion
that an intoxicating liquor, the
chief ingredient being alcohol,
which every chemist will tell you
is a deadly poison; a compound
that is the cause of so much crime
misery, sickness, insanity and
death. I am sure 1 say, that they
will come to the conclusion that
such a liquor is not a fit emblem,
or a true ^correspondent, or repre
mentation of the blood of the New
Covenant. If yon cdtae to this
conclusion, what then is your
manifest duty?
There can be but one answer,
and that is to see that no intoxi-
cating or fermented wines used at
this most Holy Sacrament of the
Lord’s supper. If thelpastor is in
different, talk the matter over with
him, and get his permission rt least
to use unfermented wine and then
see that officers of the Church pro
cure it.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 25. The
State Fair will this year be on a
greater scale than ever before at-
tempted. The city of Dallas,
which now owns and runs the in-
stitution, has put up the requisite
amount of money to make the fair
what it ought to be. Before con-
sidering the entertainment feature
proper, the city provided for the
erection of a magnificent new audi-
torium and expos tion building,
and for such other improvements
on the grounds as were necessary
The new building is one of the
bauusouiesl sliuctures iu Dallas.
The change thus wrought in the
appearance of the grounds will be a
pleasant surprise to the regular
visitor to the fair.
The demand for space for exhibits
has been so great that the capacity
of all the departments has been
greatly increased, aud still the de-
mand continues. Concession
people have not hesitated to pay
highea prices than ever before for
privi'eges, so that the grounds will
be occupied from the entrance as
high up as the grand stand on both
sides of the race track, while be-
yond the grand stand stable room
is being prepared for more than
seven hundred race horses.
Among the horses entered are
some of the most noted on tl e
American turf. The races will be
conducted by men of national
reputation for fair dealing. Every
possible precaution has been taken
to make the races strictly honest.
The grand staud has been enlarged
so as to feat a third nore people
than heretofore, and so changed
that the occupants can see the
horses from start th finish.
