"Faintly aa tolls the evening chime Our voices keep tune and our oara keep time. "Rowlbrothers! Row! The stream runa fast; The rapids are near, and the dayligfit 'a past." ?Canadian Boat Song. Yea, Brothers! Row! Row each his boat! I row no more; I only float. The stream, which long haa been my road, On which I hurried as it flowed, And where the busy oar I plied, Or shaped my course from side to side, Still atrongly bears my failing boat? I row no more; lonly float. I aee the stream more swiftly run Than when its course was first begun; The rapids' boding voice I hear Still drawing nearer and more near; The noontide brillianct all is past? Eaatward the shadows long are cast? But I no longer row my boat, Or try to row?I only float; Yet still find round me, none the less, Abundant cause for thankfulness. O Lord! Send Thou Thy peace to be Still a companion unto me, That I may have no shade of fear Of unknown rapids drawing near; That I may hear the distant chime Of bells beyond the walls of Time; That I may feel my failing boat Still in Thy guidance as I float, Till I shall reach the tideless sea, The Ocean of Eternity! ? Robert Dewey Benedict, in August National Magazine. [Communicated. ] THE PROTRACTED MEETINGS. Now that the season of protracted meetings is here, pastors are asking the members of their flocks how and when shall they hold meetings. You will hear different opinions. They all realize the importance of these meet? ings, and that this is the harvest time for saving souls. A great majority of the Christians of today were con verted in some revival meeting and every Christian should be ready to make any aacrifice that their church shouid have one week, if no more, of revival services. The church needs it and the sinner needs it. But the queations of dinnerand timeseemto be theproblems to solve. Some say they cannot get help and that they themselves are not able to cook, etc. Some say that they have had this, that and the other mis fortune and_..that _ they are too buay. Otherathat their plates, cups and other diahes got broken last year and that they can't afford it. Well, the only aolution I see to all that is half-day meetings. Have you ever read how in olden times people observed regular feasts, and took the firat and best of their flocks for sacrifice. Apparently we are not so devote now. But I believe if the people would not make this special occasion a time of feasting and display, seeing who could bring the best dinner, they would enjoy the meet? ings more. No one likes a good dinner more than I do, especially when some body else has had the trouble preplmng it. But I wish the ladies of the church would stop carting out plates, cups, knivea and forks and all unnecesaary dishes and eatables. Then there would not be so much dread of the protracted meeting week. Ham and bread, chicken, beef or something that could be taken in the hand without taking table-cloths, plates, etc, would beenough for a mid day lunch. I have heard of preachers eating so much dinner at a protracted meeting they were too sluggish to preach as they should and the congre gation almoat asleep. How can such meetings be a success? Let's stop try? ing to make a show of dinner, but just take a lunch. Often by the time the ladies get through clearing up the table and putting away diahes they are too tired to enjoy the afternoon services. Let us go to the meetings to worship God, like Mary of old. The Master told Marthashe wastroubled about too much serving. Some of the ladies of today are troubled with too much serving. Take to church a simple lunch and the old time revivals will soon return again. One of the Sufferers. HOW TO KNOW A MAD DOG. Juat at this time when so much is heard about mad doga it is interesting to know what one who has made a atudy of rabies has to say on the sub ject. Saya Caapar Whitney, in Outing: "Hydrophobia is in reality so rare and ao terrifying that its symtoms and treat ment are UtUe understood. Aa a mat ter of fact the commonly accepted ex presaion of madness in a dog is often misleading. The real mad dog does not shun water, aa it is said. On the contrary, mad dogs often rush to the water and drink eagerly, if they are able to swallow. The mad dog does not froth at the mouth. It does not run arnuck, snapping at everything in its path. What then, are the indications of the mad dog? To those familiar with a given dog the sureat syratom and the one which should excite closest atten? tion is a distinct and unaccountable change in the dog's disposition?astaid dog becoming excitable and a frisky one dull. That condition does not necessa rily mean rabies, but it ia suspicious, and if in addition, the dog has trouble in swallowing?as though it seemed to have a bone in its throat?beware! That dog should be instantly tied up, because if it be rabies it takes but a day or two for ferocious insticta to de velop. The unmistakable evidence how ever of a dog with rabies ia the sticky, whitiah saliya which covera the teeth and ahows on the drawn lipa. The eyes glare and are red; the dog has paroxyams of running fury, during which it barks hoaraely, alternating with perioda of temporary exhauation. [Communicatad. I IS IT POSSIBLE? Across the Pacific, ten thousand miles away, a cluster of lsland lie. Inhabited by a race crowded together in small space with the necessity on them of water commerce, they were being crowded by a huge neighbor, a neighbor that, had he his way, would have blighted their commerce and hedged them in on every side. Theinstinct of self-preaer^ra tion forced them into a costly and de structive war with their big neighbor, and they saved their commercial life. Reduced to great poverty by that struggle. with taxation so great that one-third of the people's income is taken by the government for taxes, they are under the blight of war's con sequences. Judging from our own ex perience it will take them fifty years to get back what they have lost. Yet these poor islanders, with their billions of debt.are charged with being anxious to plunge into another war, more ex pensive and deadly than the one they have just emerged from, a war with the best fighting people of the earth. The pretext is given out is that they have some little children in San Fran cisco and the school authorities of that city will not let these children go to the same schools as the natives. The war they had with Russia was to pre serve their national life; the war Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hobson predicts ia to corae from a matter of equal school privileges in a coast city. Who besides these two believes it? J. B. H. THE FLY?THEN AND NOW. "Go, poor devil," said Uncle Toby, when he had by chance entrapped a fty; "get thee gone! Why should I hurt thee? This world, surely, is wide enough to hold both thee and me!" So aaying, Uncle Toby, in an immor tal burst of sentiment and in an im mortal prose paaaage that is equal to any like number of rythmic worda in our English speech, released the cap tured fly to prey u?>on the human race. But Sterne and all the aucceeding sentimentalists are in fatal error. The world is not wide enough to hold the fly and us. Had Uncle Toby destroyed that "poor devil" of a fly there would have been millions fewer flies in the world today to scatter broadcast the fatal germs of disease. By sparing the fly the gentle old gentleman is doubtless responsible for many human lives but what are human livea to senti? ment? The fly must be spared. We are so instructed from the cradle to the grave into which the fly tosses us with hia little poison-laden proboscis. The fly is our enemy, and should be destroyed. We have come to the parting of the ways of sentiment and sentimentality. A single fly, after visiting a diseased man, may trail across the face or hand of another person a veritable highway of diaeaae. It has been estimated that a fly may leave in its footprinta millions of germs, each one of which may cauae death. And each of these germs at once multipliea its iniquitous race a million-fold. The only juat conclusion is that Sterne and his delicious but ignorant Uncle Toby were arrant fools or knaves -Columbia State. WORDS FROM BISHOP OF LONDON. (From the Wall Street open air ser mon of the Bishop of London:) "Have you ever thought why there are any rich and poor at all? That is the question I have had to face in Lon? don. They have asked me how I recon ciled the belief in the good God loving all his children, with the wretched millions in East London who seem abandoned by both God and man. I had to face that question, and have had to face it ever since. There is but one answer the rich minority haye what they have merely in trust for all the others. Stewardship, not ownership, is God's command to every one of us. You are not yourown. Nothingthat you haye is your own. We haven't learned the Christian religionif we have not learned the lesson of stewardship. "My home has been the home of the bishopa of London for thirteen hundred years. Suppose I should say that it was my own, and that the Bishop's in come of $50,000 a year was my own. I would be called a madman. The man who thinks he owns what he has in his keeping is no less a madman. This ap plies alike to the boy and his pocket money and to the millionaire and his millions. Disregard of this trust isthe cause of all social eviis of London and New York. If every man considered himself as a steward there would be no object in dishonesty. Stewardship would do away with the tyranny of capi tal. "This rise of bitter Socialiam, the new terror of Europe, is due to the ne glectof the elementaryprinciplesof the Christian social religion. "Let every man, be he rich or poor, ask himself how he gains his money and how he distributes it, and let him test his stewardship by these questions and his answers to them.'' THE UNDISCOVERED GREAT. They were discussing who was the greatest man, and names all the way from Buddha to Shakespeare, from Aristotle to Julius Ceasar were called over, while probably the greatest man of all ages is pegging away among us unnoticed, and unrecognized, while we anapshotand interview all the little men, or go back to some one who has been dead long enough for us to find out that we may safely praise him. Ia it possible that the truly great man did not atep to the front some fourth of March a few yeara ago and exclaim: "Here am I; behoid me!" UNTO THE END. Brief space for tears and prayers To him who loves and darea, The high goJs send; But laughter lighted daya Through all life's winding ways, Unto the end. I atand beside the sea, And aalt waves cover me With apray. I know that I who stand Betwixt the aea and land All day, Shall be as yellow duat Blown here and there? Heaven's winds ahall carry me, I wiat not where. But this one thing I know, Where'er my dust ahall blow, The life of love will go. ?Frederick Marvin. SOME TEMPERANCE NOTES. Accomac people have organized a determined raid on illicit whiskey sellers. The Georgia Court of Appeals ren dered an opinion that the aolicitation of orders by mail in other States for whiaky or other intoxicants, as well aa in that State by any individual or cor poration, is a violation of tbe lawe. Why won'tthe lawapply to local option districts? Massachusetts boaata of one town which expelled the aaloon by high license. Through a mistake in the local option election the town voted wet, and in order to keep saloons from coming in through thia technical error the Town Council placed the license fee at $1,000,000. No one took out a license. ? Page Courier. Waycross, Ga., with a population of 9,000, has no poorhouse, 9 out of 10 of the white population own their homes and 93 per cent of the children attend sehool. Incidentally it may be stated that the aaloon license has annually for the last 16 years been fixed at $30,000 ?and no one has orTered to pay the amount for the privilege. SLxty-two Federal licenaea to aell "near beer" have been issued to per sons in Virginia. The state receives no tax on auch sales, but the Federal Government receives a fee of $20. The "near beer" is sold in the dry sectiona of the State. The State laws make the poasession of a Federal license to aell liquor prima facie evidence of auch aale. On the last night of 1907 40,000 em ployes of the Chicago and Northweat em Railroad, on 19,000 miles of tracks reaching from the Great Lakes to the Rocky Mountains, became absolute "teetotalers" and signed a pledge to that effect. And each man pledged himself to use his influence towarda se curing the signatures of those other thousands of employea of the same railroad who have not yet agreed to quit the use of intoxicating drink. A wordy war goes on between the Richmond News-Leader and the Nor folk Virginian-Pilot on the relative dangers of whiskey and tobacco. The former enemy of man is thus de&cribed by the Richmond editor: "One of the disadvantages under which John Barley corn livea is that he is an open enemy and a fair flghter and the harm he does is plain, frank and manifest. He ad vertises himself assiduously and makes his presence known instantly. He rides on the breath and announces that he is inside and active, no matter how much chewing gum or clovea or Lurnt coff ee may be uaed in the effort to amug gle and smother and hide him. He may be absorbed in secret moderation dur? ing many years, but presently he painta the nose even of the most careful and outwardly moral deacon and tells the world of himself. He insists that he shall not be hidden. He declines to lurk i n ambush. Human ingenuity through countless thousands of years has been unable to devise methods for hiding John or wrestling with him secretly. No man ever has succeeded in getting drunk without letting the fact be known to all who came in contact with him; and it is a known truth of bibulous human nature that the more certain a man is that he is carrying conviction of his sobriety to all beholders the more dis tinctly obvious is his inebriation. Crime and sin and misery come from exces sive use of alcohol, while the evil con aequences from excess in tobacco are less direct, less plainly discernable. We know that tobacco unwisely used has killed people, has put people in asylums and jails, has made men trifling, rob bed them of their vitality, ambition and force. The same may be said of liquor. AS TO DOGWOOD. Virginia dogwood grows, as we all know, not larger usually than five or six inches across the stump, but out in Oregon dogwood treesattaina heightof 75 feet and are a foot or more across the stump. Our dogwood is mostly used up, the demand being extensive for making loom-shuttlea, bobbins and spindles. Persimmon is used for the same purpose. Dogwood takes a high polish and wears perfectly smooth by friction under water. It obtained its name in a singular way. A wood of the same sort grows in England, and was used among other purposes for making the akewers used by butchers for fastening pieces of meat. These were mad- of dogwood, and as they were used to stick pieces of meat the old Anglo-Saxon name, "daeg" from which comes dagger, was used, mean ing to stick. Naturally the name came to be used for the use of the wood, and the akewers were called daegsticka, and thence by an eaay deacent to dogwood. Queer how namea originate. MR. KERN'S P0PULAR1TY IN HIS HOME TOWN. Traeto his antecedents and thecir cumstances of hia bringing up, Mr. Kern is a democrat of democrats. In man ners, as in principles, he ia pre-eminent ly a man of the people, though he is quite above any attempt to appeal to the voting hoi polloi by the mere affec tation of bucolic tastes and interests. In making up an estimate of the man one cannot do better than to accept the judgment of his Indiana neighbors, and especially of his every day acquaint ances in Indianapolis. Indianapolia ia a Aourishing and progressive city, but it has not yet thrown off certain of the characteristics of a big, overgrown country town. One of the pleasantest of these characteristics ia the neigh borly pride which its citizens take in the honors that fall to any one of their number. Everybody knows Fairbanks, Beveridge. Kern and the leaser lights, and everybody, irrespective of political affiliations is ready to hang out Old Glory, burn red fire, and "whoop things up" generally when unusual distinction has fallen to a fellow-townsman. The non-partisan demonstration spontane ously arranged for the occasion of Mr. Kern's return from Denver was, how ever, a really remarkable and excep tional testimonial to the nominee's pon ularity among his own people, In a city like Indianapolis there would have bean an ovation for any similarly honored favorite son, but it is doubtful whether the nomination of any other man would have made the occasion for so widely participated in and so heartfelt a re ception as that given the present can? didate. - From "John Worth Kern, Dem? ocratic Candidate for Vice-President,'' by Frederic Auatin Ogg, in the Amer ican Review of Reviews for August. JULIAN HARRIS SUCCEEDS HIS FATHER. Julian Harris, son of Joel Chandler Harris, succeeds his father as editor of Uncle Remus's?The Home Magazine, retaining also his original position as general manager. Don R. Marquis, who has already made a National repu tation through hia editorials, poems and short atories, is to continue as aa aociate editor of the magazine. From hia childhood Julian Harris had been the comrade of hia father, and he waa the organizing spirit of the maga? zine. When 17 yeara of age, the younger Harris became a reporter for the At lanta Herald. A year later he became connected with the Atlanta Conatitu tion, and when 20 yeara of age he went to Chicago and became aaaiatant Sun? day editor of the Timea-Herald. He returned to Atlanta to become night editor of the Constitution when 21 years of age, and two years later was promoted to the managing editorahip of that paper?a distinction probably unprecedented for a man of hia yeara in the hiatory of Southern joumalism. He ia the author of a play soon to be staged by Nixon & Zimmerman. and haa written a number of short atories, deacriptive articles and esaaya. He ia hia father's literary executor, and not only are "Uncle Remua'a" last writings in his posseasion, but through his collaboration with his father on two important unpubliahed works?which will be given to the public during the year?and hia inlimate acquaintance with the purposes and ideala of his father, he is eminently fitted to carry out the cherished plans of the founder of the magazine. AND ALL SUCH ARE RESPECTED. Deal Jackson is a negro farmerdown in Georgia. He has just marketed the flrst bale of cotton in hia State. This is the aeventh time he haa performed this feat. He takes apride in his farm; he hustles to get that first bale on the market-and he gets it there, regularly. Jackson has relied entirely on his own efforts all of his life. He is independ ent, and asks no man odda. His credit is good for whatever he wants at any store or bank in Albany. He has never been known to want more than he might reasonably be expected to pay for; that is the keynoteof hiacharacter. He does not concern himself at all with politics or politicians. He haan't any "pull" any where, save such as islegit imately due him as a reward for his honest endeavor. He has reduced cot? ton raising to an exact science; he knows just what the plant will do un? der given conditions. He has generally managed to get his first bale in a little ahead of his white competitors, in spite of all their efforts?indeed. he broke all of his own previous records this year. Jackson's great card is attending to his own business, and doing it well. Nobody ever heard of Jackson's be? ing mixed up in trouble of any variety.

The State of Virginia will be ready to diatribute a quarter of a million of dollars to the countiea of the State with the beginning of the year for the buiiding of good roads. The counties receiving this money are to raise an equal amount as that received from the State and are to expend the entire sum in improving the highways. The highway commissioner, Captain P. St. J. Wilaon, has been at work apportion ing this sum among the counties for some time. The counties which are enjoying the benefits of the convict forcea on the highways can not partici pate in the distribution. The sum set aside for such county reverts back to the general fund and will go to making a second fund for distribution. A county can receive what is apportioned for it and reduce the amount to such sums as it sees fit. The belief is that few countiea will decline to meet the State appropriation and devote the sum nec assary to buiiding the roads.?Ledger Dispatch. THE MONROE DOCTRINE. The President?and he aeema to have cajoled or frightened a lot of people into thinking his way?says that "the Monroe Doctrine can have no force without a big navy to back it up." Well, some years ago Grover Cleve land, then President of the United States, used the doctrine successfully with England when that country had a navy seventeen tiinea larger than ours. No! there ia not a people with watera on the Atlantic who would dream of attacking thia country, and certainly Japan does not come under that doc? trine. SURE KE'S RIGHT. It must be a great comf ort to feel so cock-aure of being right as Rooaevelt aeems to be. Taffa speech (nine pages in all) had 7 pagea devoted to laudation of the President and his poli cies, and he took all this to Oyster Bay and it waa approved. Verily, it'a nice to "be aure you're right." Billy Muldooney came down the street the other day. He had a Win cheater slung over his shoulder, a re volver stuck in each side of his belt, a bowie knife handle projected from his ahirt collar, and a big stick in his hand.
