Scripture Authority: Exodus 1:20
10.20. -
HE departure of
Moses and Aaron
early that morn
ing from Goshen
had stirred the
people to further
anxiety, and there
was much specu
jauon us 10 wnai
there errand might
be. The plague or
frogs and lice
which had invaded
the land of Goshen
ns well as all the
land of Egypt had
caused much distress and discontent,
and It was but natural that the people
ahould suspect that some new affliction
was about to descend upon them, for
with every departure of Moses and
Aaron from Goshen recently there had
followed some new and distressing
plague.
But the next day broke as usual;
the same cloudTess sky stretched its
blue canopy over the land, and
the great burning sun mounted the
heavenB In undimmed splendor. And
the day had but fairly begun
ere the Egyptian overseers made
their appearance In Goshen to drive
the people to the work which
had been almost abandoned of late
owing to the distressing plagues of
the bloody waters, the frogs and the
lice.
Dejectedly and sullenly the people
obeyed, but even while they were go
ing, a dark cloud seemed to rise and
spread over the land, obscuring the
sun and causing a weird and hazy
darkness to prevail. In terror the
Egyptian overseers fled, leaving the
people to scatter and And shelter In
their homes. For the better part of
the morning the darkness prevailed,
and then the black forbidding clouds
seemed to disappear as quickly as
they had come and once more the
sun shone forth In all his splendor,
flooding the land of Goshen with
glorious light.
People once more emerged from
their houses and excitedly talked over
the strange happenings of the morn
ing. Naturally they connected the
cloud and the darkness with the ex
pected plague, and the people looked
about apprehensively as though they
expected some new and strange
thing to happen to them. But every
thing appeared the same, and as
they looked at each other inquiring
ly, they asked:
“What Is it? What has happened?
Let the elders seek out Moses and
find out what manner of thing this
is that has come to pass.”
Thus admonished the elders of the
people hastily assembled and de
parted at once to find Moses and
Aaron, but they had not proceeded
far when tney were met by an
Egyptian messenger who excitedly
inquired where he might find Moses.
"The king has sent for him,” he
exclaimed as he hurried on with
them, after they had told him that
they too were on their way to Moses'
abode. "A dreadful thing has hap
pened In Egypt.” he continued. "The
land fairly swarms with flies. The
land is covered with them, the houses
are filled with them, yea. and even the
palace has not escaped, and they are
causing such torment to the people
and the king, that everyone Is well
nigh mad. But there are no flies in
Goshen!" the messenger exclaimed,
stopping short as he suddenly be
came conscious that he had left be
hind the pestiferous Insects. “Why,
how is It? Have not the flies come
into Goshen?” and the Flgyptlan
looked Inquiringly at the men before
him.
"We have seen no flies We know
not of wh»t you speak,” and then
as the light began to break In upon
them, they exclaimed:
"Came the flies this morning when
the sun was obscured and darkness
was upon the land?”
"At that very time. And since then
the king and people have had no
peace. I must And Moses at once,"
he exclaimed, starting forward again,
"for Pharaoh In his distress will
brook no delay.”
The news of the Egyptian's coming
and his errand, together with Moses'
hasty departure to the palace of the
king at Memphis spread rapidly and
little else was talked of In Goshen
but the wonderful things which had
come to pass.
"Now do we know that the Lord
has made a difference between us
and the Egyptians,” the people re
peated over and over ngain rever
ently. "Surely now Pharaoh will let
us go as Moses has demanded.”
But the next day after Moses had
returned and the people were elated
by the report lie brought back that
Pharaoh bad consented to their de
parture and they were making their
preparations, a company of Egyp
tian officials made their ap.
pearanre and gruffly announced
that. Pharaoh would not let them go
Thea was there mourning In the land
af Covlien, nnd It was with difficulty
that tfe* elders restrained the people
Moses, with discouraged, and aching
he,vrt. sought the solitude with Ood
alone, and Ip obedience to His word
he returned to k’haraob jgaln the next
day and bald;
"The hand of the Lord t« upon thy
cattle which Is in tbe field. upon ’he j
horses, upon the asses, upon the c'm
els, upon the oxen and upon the
sheep; there shall be a very grievous
murrain."
• What?” thundered the king, "dart
you defy the gods of Egypt? Know*
est thou not that the spirit of the god
Osiris dwells in the sa* red bull, and
Apis and Mncvis in the ram c? Am
mon, the sheep of Sals and the g jac
of Meades.”
“Yea, S) the Egyptians believe, but
that thou maye.it know that the God
of the Hebrews is more powerful th n
thy go Is, the Lord will sever bvtw a a
the cattle of Israel and the cattle of
Egypt, and there sh.tll nothing die of
all that Is the children’s of Israe’.”
The cruel, hard face of Lie k ng
was purple with suppresse l passion
as Moses finished, and ha appeared
about to speak, but Instead he d a
mlssed Moses with an Imperious wave
of his hand, and the latter, as he
reached the doorway, turned and said,
slowly, and distinctly: "To-morrow
this thing shall come to pass," and
was gone.
The news of Moses’ visit to the pal
ace and his message to Pharaoh
spread rapidly, and while the g-eat
majority of the Egyptians were dis
posed to assume the defiant and supe
rior attitude of Pharaoh, there were
others who, impressed by the events
of the past few weeka, were trouo.ed
and said:
“Surely the God of the Hebrews will
consume us in His wrath If Pharaoh
longer afflicts the people of Israel.
The gods of Egypt were never able
to perform such wonders as Moses has
wrought In the name of his God.”
And they awaited the events of the
morrow with anxiety, tfven Pharaoh,
in spite of his defiant spirit, was trou
bled and as the night wore away and
sleep refused to come to his tired
brain, he sent and called Jannos and
Jambres, his magicians, to him, and
the activity In the temple and the de
parture of secret emissaries to Goshen
a few hours later indicated tnat some
important plan was on foot.
x>ui iu uobiieu peace anu quiei pre
vailed. w'hat though the plagues did
devastate Egypt, in Goshen was safe
ty. What though the word of t •
Lord spoken through Moses had de
clared that a deadly murrain was to
attack the cattle, the children of Is
rael had naught to fear, for had not
the Lord said He would set a differ
ence between the cattle of the Egyp
tians and the cattle of the Hebrews?
Had not the plague of Hies shown that
the God of the Hebrews was aide not
only to send His plagues upon Egypt,
but preserve Goshen as in the hollow
of His hand?
Such was the faith which held the
people, but there was one Hebrew who
was deeply troubled. That morning
early two Egyptians had sought him
out and placed him in charge of a herd
of Egyptian cattle which they Insisted
should be kept with his own animals.
At any other time this would not
have seemed strange, for the Egyp
tians often placed such duties upon
the Hebrew slaves, but coming just
when God had spoken a curse upon
the cattle of the Egyptians alarmed
him. What could save his own cattle
now? If the murrain broke out among
the Egptian cattle, there could be no
hope for his own herded with them.
But ne dare not refuse, and watched
the Egyptians depart with sinking
heart, and had he seen them as they
laughed over the clever plan of Phar
aoh, It would not have helped to quiet
his rising fears. He was tempted to
drive the Egyptians’ cattle away, and
put his own cattle In a secure place
by themselves, but at last he con
quered the Impulse, saying over and
over to himself:
“Surely the God of Israel can save
our cattle, wherever they may be
placed.”
Thus reassured and comforted, he
watched by the side of the herd and aa
the morning wore away he saw first
one and then another of the Egyptl in
cattle fall and die, while his own fed
on contentedly. With n distressing
moan of pain the last remaining ani
mal of the Egyptian herd lay down
and died Just as the Egyptians, who
had broight the cattle early that
morning, appeared. Their quick
giance took In the situation, and wbh
one frightened, troub'ad look they

the people rushing about In great ex
cltement and distress, crying that the
curse of Ibe Hebrew Oorl was upon
them and their cattle was dying.
“Why, even titc sacred bull of the
temple has died In spite of th» de#
perate efforts of Jannes and Jainbres
to save Its life," exclaimed one of the
temple attendants to them as they
: passed.

with an eager hopefulness In bis voice;

fearing for the prestige of the Fgyp

“Let the king be patient. We shall

CHIEF OFFENDER ATTACKED
President Roosevelt's Method of Deal
ing with Enemies of
the People.
It Is characteristic of President
Roosevelt’s courage that in leading
the people’s attack against the law
less he has selected the offender that
is chief in power and in pernicious in
fluence. It is characteristic of the
president’s directness that he has
mentioned that offender by name, and
it is characteristic of his fidelity that
he proposes to use all the available
power of the government to undo the
misdoing and to punish the misdoer.
It has been the general belief, says
the Troy Times, that the Standard
Oil company has been amassing great
wealth by crushing out competition,
and by the employment for this end of
! illegal combinations and agreements
The thorough and untiring investlga
I Oon made by Commissioner Garfield,
of the bureau of corporations, has
amassed facts which prove that secret
rebates granted by the Standard Oil
company and oppressive discrimina
tion in open rates have given to that
enormous corporation a decisive and
overwhelming advantage over com
| petltors. it is shown in illustration
j that rates only one third of what was
| charged to other shippers were given
: to the Standard Oil company Jn this
I state.
President Roosevelt has informed
. eongr* ss of the facts and iu.stly de
| scribed tlie situation as a “oharacter
, istlc example of the numerous evils
j which are inevitable under a system
I in which the big shipper and the rail
| road are left free to crush out all in
dividual initiative and all power of
independent action because of the ab
j sence of adequate and thorough-going
governmental control."
| i ne president rightly holds that so
. outrageous a breach of equity In the
I encratchment upon popular right and
j so gross a violation of the principles
of business fairness constitute a blow
at the people and a menace to the pur
poses which the American govern*
ment was established to maintain and
I defend. The president suggests, there
fore, that to an administrative agency
i be given power to control and check
the treacherous abuses of such a cor
poration as the one under review, and
; plainly indicates his willingness to
j us<? all the means open to the exeeu
tive to attack this organized injustice
and to protect its victims among the
business interests and the individual
consumers of the country.
Great offenses deserve heroic reme
dies, and, as tlie president says, any
injustice which may be predicted of
an administrative commission would
not begin to he so outrageously cruel
as what has already been proved
against one of the big corporations of
this country.
A LIVE ISSUE CERTAINLY.
"rorn Present Indications the Tariff
Will Be Much in Evi
dence.
If saying so would only make it so.
there would be much cause for gratifl
| cation in the opinion expressed by the
Pittsburg PresB.
“The tariff involves at most no
| fundamental principle. It is merely
an administrative question, within
j certain lines. Not even the most em
phatic revisionists have the temerity
to demand free trade. All they want
is a readjustment of schedules. They
admit that the country is prosperous
and that the protective principle un
! derlying our tariff policy should not
j he disturbed. Manifestly, then, the
l tariff Is a question which can and
I will wait. There are a dozen other
matters more presslngly in need of
; regulation. Tariff revision talk now
would Induce sleep anywhere, from a
crossroads political meeting to the
J president’s cabinet.”
Nevertheless*, says the American
Economist, there Is much tariff re
vision talk Koine on right now, and
the talkers are not talking in their
sleep, either. They.at least, are very
much awake. It is the published pur
pose of the American Reciprocal Tar
iff league to secure the election this
year of the largest possible number of
Republican congressmen pledged to
immediate tariff revision. Cummins
, Guild, Foss. McCall and the rest of
the “progressives" will help all they
can. if this purpose should succeed
In. say, T.O congress districts—and it
will succeed In more than districts
If the friends of tariff stability are not
alert—the wav would lie open to a
general attack on the Dlnglev srhed
ules. From present appearances the
tariff will be an exceedingly |jvp
sue in the campaign of I9ufi.

TARIFF REPEAL NOT NEEDED
San Francisco Should Not Bs Re
built with Steel from
Abroad.
We do not believe San Francisco Is
a party to the cry for a repeal of the
tariff on structural steel while the city
is rebuilding. There is no occasion
for such repeal, says the Pittsburg Ga
zette. American manufacturers can
supply the demand. Pittsburg mills
can do it and would set other work
aside if necessary that rebuilding
should not be retarded. This at
prices hfirdly greater than would be
paid for foreign material if the tariff
should be removed. In a recent hear
ing before the committee on merchant
marine and fisheries. Judge Gary,
chairman of the United States Steel
corpora* ion, quoted the prices in this
country and abroad. By that state
ment It may seen the export prices of
Great Britain, Germany, France, Aus
tria and Belgium on structural shapes
range from SI.25 to $1.45, while the
American price is about $1.60. Add
ing freight, the price, delivered, would
give no appreciable advantage to the
San Francisco builders, but might
take much money from this country.
President Roosevelt rejected foreign
contributions to the relief fund and It
would be a remarkable exhibit on the
part of contress to extend an invita
tion to foreign manufacturers to sup
ply the material for rebuilding the
city. While Germany is building Its
tariff wall higher and Is paying a
bounty on steel exports, to enable her
manufacturers to quote low prices,
there Is no call for the United States
to open the door even in the face of
calamity. Great Britain is not in po
sition to furnish the material more
promptly than this country can, and
having a higher production cost and
no bounty, could not compete with
Germany in the bidding.
Should material be brought from
abroad it would benefit neither the
railroads nor the industrial concern
which have given so liberally to the
sufferers. All would come direct Jjy
water in foreign bottoms. San Fran
cisco would be ashamed to rebuild
with foreign steel. The members of
congress who introduced the bills do
clare that they did so under the n\;
apprehension that American mills
could not supply the demand. That
Impression having been corrected,
there is just one proper course to take.
That is to withdraw the bills and let
the matter drop. No hardship will be
imposed thereby on the San Francisco
rebuilders.
DEMAND NOT POPULAR.
Change of the Dingley Schedules No*
Called for by the People
in General.
No Republican from Wisconsin,
Massachusetts, Iowa or anywhere else
who has assailed the tariff this year
has voiced the view of the Republican
party. The Dingley act has been in
operation nine years. It. has had a
longer life than the Wilson-Gorman
law which it. displaced. Also it has
lived longer than did the McKinley
act, which the Democrats repealed
when they put the Wilson-Gorman
law on the statute book. So, likewise,
it has been with us for more years
than was the act of 1883, which the
McKinley law succeeded. Dingley's
tariff has had a longer career than
any other law in its field since Mor
rill's, which was passed in 1861. But
the Dingley act continues to give a
good account or itself, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. It furnishes
both revenue and protection, and the
Wilson act provided neither the One
nor the other. Nothing that any Dem
ocrat has ever said against the Ding
ley law has been ub severe as Clevf*
land’s denunciation of the Democratic
Wilson-Gorman act, the “party per
fidy and party dishonor law.” which
Cleveland contemptuously refused to
sign, but let it get on the statute book
through the expiration of the ten
days’ time limit. There Is no popular
demand among the Republicans for
the repeal or material modification of
the Dingley tariff. On the contrary,
any tampering with that net at this
time would arouse Republican hostil
ity all over the country. No Repub
Mean who assails it ran long main
tain his standing In the party. A
Democratic assault on either the tar
iff or the ting in the Philippines in th<
congressional canvass of 1906 woulc.
Insure a Republican majority in the
elections which would make all the
off-year Republican margins since
1891 look narrow.

HE WENT ON CRUTCHES
All Medicines Failed Until Dr. Wita
Mams’ Pink Pills Cured His
Rheumatism.
“Some years ago.” ears Mr. W. H.
Clark, a printer, living at 612 Buchanan
street, Topeka, Kaus., “I had a bad at
tack of rheumatism and could not seem
to get over it. All sorts of medicines
failed to do me any good and my trouble
kept getting worse. My feet were so
swollen that I could not wear shoes and
I had to go on crutches. The pain was
terrible.
** One day I was setting the type of an
article for tho paper telling what Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills had done for a man
afflicted as I was and 1 was so impressed
with it that I determined to give the
medicine a trial. For a year my rheu
matism had been growing worse, lmt
after taking Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills I
began to improve. The pain and swell
ing all disappeared and I can truthfully
say that I haven’t felt better in the past
twenty years than I do right now. I
could name, off hand, a half-dozen peo
ple who have used Dr. Williams’ Pink
Pills at my suggestion and who have re
ceived good results from them.”
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills aro guaran
teed to be safe and harmlcrs to the most
delicate constitution. They contain no
morphine, opiate, narcotic, nor any
thing to cause a drug habit. They don t
act on tho bowels but they actually mnke
new blood and strengthen tho nerves.
Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills euro rheuma

They have also cured many cases of

One In the Audience Who Had Never
Heard of the Great Man in
Question.
At the recent annual meeting of the *
voters of Cape Elizabeth two names
1 were presented for moderator, Henry
S. Jorden and Clement E. Staples. Re
publican and Citizen, respectively,

who nominated Mr. Staples me lo a.
mighty effort. “Who is Clement E.
Staples?” he cried, as he waved his
arms like pump handles and strode
back and forth on the platform. * A
deep and Impressive silence followed.
Again waving his arms, he called In
a voice of thunder: “Who is Clement
E. Staples?” The silence was rr.oie
pronounced and the effeot greater. The
audience was visibly Impressed. Be
fore attempting to dwell upon the
good qualities of his candidate, the
speaker again proclaimed: “I say,
who is Clement E. Staples?”
A small man in the rear of the hall
stood on a chair and broke the silence
by saying: “Waal, I'll bite. Who is
he?"

BREAD DYSPEPSIA.
The Digesting Element Left Out.
Bread dyspepsia is common. It af
fects the bowels because white bread in
nearly all starch, and starch is digested
, in the intestines, not in the stomach
: proper.
Up under the shell of the wheat berry
nature has provided a curious deposit
which Is turned into diastase when Ufa*’
subjected to the saliva and to the pan
creatic juices in the human intestines.
This diastase is absolutely necessary
to digest starch and turn it into grape
sugar, which Is the next form; but that
part of the wheat berry makes dark
flour, and the modern miller cannot
readily sell dark flour, so nature’s val
uable digester is thrown out and the
human system must handle the starch
1 as best it can, without the help that na
ture Intended. '
Small wonder that appendicitis, peri
tonitis, constipation and all sorts of
; trouble exist when we go so contrnrv
j to nature’s law. The food experts that
; perfected Grape-Nuts Food, knowing
| these facts, made use In their experi
ments of the entire wheat and baric r.
i Including nil the parts, and subjected
j them to moisture and long continued
! warmth, which allows time and tho
Proper conditions for developing the
diastase, outside of the human body.
In this way the starchy part Vs trans
formed into grape-sugar in a perfect
ly natural manner, without the use of
chemicals or any outside Ingredients.
• The little sparkling crystal* of grape
I sugar can he seen on the pieces of
| Grape-Nuts. This food therefore 1*
i naturally pre-digented and its use in
j place of bread will quickly correct the
troubles that have been brought abent
by the too free use of starch In the
food, and that Is very common in the
human race to-day.
