ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON’S PRAYER. Mr. Stevenson, it will be recalled, wag one of the world’s famous writers, When he was well and hearty he was brimful of life, joy and happiness. But his health save way and he died very suddenly; Before that day's tragedy he was aware no doubt of the near approach of death, and the very last evening he offered the following prayer; "We beseech thee, Lord, to behold us with favor, folk of many fami lies and nations gathered together in the 'peace of this roof—weak men and women subsisting under the cover of thy patience. Be pa- titnet still. Suffer us a while longer with our broken promises of good, with our life endeavors against evil; suffer us a while longer to endure; and if it may be, help us to do bet ter. Bless to us our extraordinary mercies. If the day come when these must be taken, have us play the man under affliction. Go with each, of us to rest, If any wake, temper to them the dark hours of watching; and when the day returns to us, our Sun and Comforter, call us with morning faces and with morning hearts, eager to labor, eager to be happy, if happiness be our portion; and if the day be mark ed to sorrow, strong to endure it. We thank thee and praise thee, and in the words of Him to whom this day is sacred close our petition.” He was sojourning in a foreign land, and this prayer was made in the pres ence of his beloved family, who had no thought that the death angel was even then hovering over the petitioner. This topic seemed particularly timely to me, for I have just returned from the funeral and grave of a young man, in the very prime of young manhood, who dropped dead only a few days ago here in our own town. Surely there is no need to be unhappy when God’s way and God’s time thus removes one of our dear ones, so quietly and so quickly! And so gently! God’s time is the time to go; and God’s way is obliged to be the best way to go. Mark the gentle words in this peti tion: "If the day be marked with sor row. make us strong to endure it,” Of course, the shock was great to those who loved him, and to whose lives he seemed so important, but from his viewpoint there was no grief nor re bellious complaint to mar this situation. He was ready to stay, and equally ready to go. May the good Lord keep us all in this frame of mind, for in the midst of life, we are in death! WHEBE SHALL THE YOTTVQ FOLKS DO THEIR COUNTING? Unless we are prepared for bachelor hood and spinsterheod as the best things for humankind, when will the public agree upon the proper place as to the best localities for courting. This question cannot be shelved or forgot ten. This subject has been threshed over in the capital elty of Georgia be cause some spoony couples were arrest ed on the capitol steps and sent to prison for kissing, and the newspapers, the police and the preachers have each and all given their elaborated opinions on this subject, but the plain text of the law is yet to be written. One New York preacher proposes to set up a spooning parlor in the churches—and why not, if these young people will at tend churcch-services and consent to be chaperoned by steady going, pious church members? My ideas are doubt less obsolete and old-fashioned, but the girl who is old enough to reoeive com pany and to receive the addresses of young men should be allowed to see them in the home of her parents, and not feel obliged to stroll the streets or sit in the parks, or go to church par lors to meet her beau when they ar rive at the usual spoony period of their lives. If the girl Is so hedged around that she cannot meet her sweetheart under her own roof, nine-tenths of them will go somewhere else to carry on the court ship. And there lies the risk of un suitable matches, and too often domestic unhappiness after marriage. It was a fine old English custom that required the young man to ask con sent of the parents before he sought the company of the daughter. Such a request and such an attitude of .re spect carried with it both dignity and manliness. After such permission was accorded, all parties understood their mutual relations, and it would be a very silly father or mother who would not appreciate the young man’s atti tude towards the girl, not to mention their own satisfaction in the matter. Matrimony is a very serious propo sition to the girl’s parents as well as to herself. She is not expected to go abroad to be courted and she is not supposed to do the asking. Perhaps it would be quite as well to institute some Inquiry as to the parents’ part In the courtship of their own children. SOME PLAIN TALK IN CONGRESS. A few days ago a southern congress man (not a Georgian) decided to free his mind of something that had been troubling him for goodness knows how long! The currency bill was in full blast, and th e tariff bill had just gone by, when this Florida member decided to rise in his place and talk about the race question. If you can only secure the time you can talk about anything under the shining sun in congress, but there is some difficulty as to the time part of the business. However, the time happened to be all right in this case, and he put the question of white supremacy square ly before that body. Thirty years ago he could not have said what he did about the African race on the other side of Mason's and Dixon’s line with out risk of a mob or sectional riot, but times change and men change with them. He did not mince words, and no body questioned a word that he uttered. He told those lawmakers that the time was surely coming when one of three things was bound to happen. First, we would either colonize the African race outside the United. States, or, Second, we would absorb them by mixing the white with black or other races, or, Third, we would rid the oountry by extermination. The second proposition was too in tolerable to consider. The third propo sition was too barbarous to entertain, and the first was the remaining and only thing possible; and we might as well wake up to the fact that coloniza tion was the only and the feasible rem edy. We may study this question with care and view the situation from every known standpoint, or viewpoint, in morals and science, and there seems to be no other proposition that is ten able. The question is Where!! There are not enough ships in commission to transport half the Africans to Africa or the Philippines, so we may confine the question to the western hemisphere. Will we be obliged to take over Mexico to provide looality for the performance of this colonization scheme? ONE OF HIS NAMES. (From Treasure Trove ) Never a boy had so msfy names; They called him Jimmy, Jim and James, Jeems and Jamie; and well he knew Who it was that wanted him, too. The boys on the streets ran after him. Shouting put loudly, “Jim, hey J-i-mi!” Until the ecnoes, little and big, Seemed to be dancing a Jim Grow jig. And little Mabel out in the hall, Jimmy! Jimmy! would sweetly call Until he answered and let her know Where she might find him she loved him so. Grandpa, who was dignified And held his head with an air of pride, Didn’t believe in abridging names, And made the most he could of J-a-m-e-s. But if papa ever wanted him, Crisp and curt was the summons, "Jim!” That would make the boy on errands run Much faster than if he had said "My son.” —Selected. ARMY MAKES UP LACK OF STRENGTH IN MORE BRAINS (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—“Many an undraped scarecrow gets into the army” because of its custom of admit ting men several pounds under regula tion weight, according to Captain Har old W, Jones, of the army medioal corps. After examining 500 recruits, Captain Jones has reached 'the conclu sion that the recruits of today are in ferior in strength and physique to the soldiers in the army in 1875. Of the half thousand men who pre sented themselves for enlistment, only 33 per cent could be rated as “strong,” while it was 57 per cent in 1875 when hardy Norman and Irish immigrants of stocky build were numerous among the recruits. At that time 60 per cent of the re cruits were foreign-born, whereas pres ent enlistments comprise only 9 per oent foreign-born. Modern recruits aresaid to have more brains than those of earlier years and it is a question whether they are not better all-round soldiers. Further investigation along these lines may be made by army officials. COTTON PRICES JUMP TO RECORD FOR THIS SEASON Cotton reached new high levels for the season Saturday when the active trading months were boosted 17 points over Friday’s top mark. The advance ranged from 11 to 17 points. Septem ber cotton in New York sold as high as 14,18 on its last notices. December touched 13.88, and May topped this by 7 points. Bad weather in the southwest, espe cially in parts of Texas and Oklahoma, coupled with th e prospects of the adop tion of the Smith-Levin 'substitute for the Clark amendment to the tariff bill, are believed to have boosted the prices. New Orleans followed th e advance of the New York exchange, also setting high marks for this season. New York spots raced upwards 20 points and were steady on the close at 14.30. At lanta spots were quoted 1-4 of a cent over Friday. For the first time this year spot cotton here brought 14 cents and in some instances a fraction of a cent over. “All Is Well That Ends Well” Along with dyspepsia comes nervousness, sleeplessness and gen- eral ill health, why 7 Because a disordered stomach does not permit the food to be assimilated and carried to the blood.

HUNTER WATCH GO. a Dept. 903, 0HIOAQO* IU< he Evening Story REFLECTED 1 GLORY (Copyright, 1913, by w. Werner.) CHILDLESS WOMEN R EV. DR. DAVID JAMES RUS SELL is pastor of the Mar ble Collegiate Reformed Church in New York City. He is a vigorous Western product, and a man who commands and deserves the large hearing which he gets. Re cently he chose to discuss the ques tion which stands at the head of this article, being moved to the dis cussion by lugubrious accounts cur rent of the failure of certain churches to secure any growth proportionate with the efforts and expenditures put forth by them. The New York Times reported in part what he said, and it makes very wholesome reading. As given by the Times it is as follows; "There is something: wrong- with the Church, for it is a mathemati cal fact that many Churches have reported a falling off in attendance, and the acquisition of new members by confession is not increasing as it should. “Theer is something wrong with the Church, but there is nothing wrong with phrist. There is nothing wrong with the gospel, for it is the same gospel as of old ,and there is nothing wrong with the Church per se, as it is now as Christ founded it. Where, then, is the trouble? Is it in the ministry? “Suppose the students at the Gov ernment Army and Navy College should be taught that the vital prin ciples of constitutional government and of patriotism are out of date. Would there hot be a falling off in attendance at these institutions? Would there be any great rush to volunteer when volunteers are need ed?” Dr. Burrell compared the present condition of the Church with a ship, the captain of which. Instead of steering a direct course to port, called the crew, down below to dis cuss the science of navigation, and to study the genealogy of the cap 's tain. "Would such a ship ever get - anywhere?’ he aseked. “Some Churches,” he said, “give too much time to studying ecclesi astical genealogy and ritual, and others go off In Socialism. What, therefore, is to be done? Get. back to the Way! O, if that voice could ' he heard by all God’s people, ‘This is the way’! The lost note in many of the Churches today is evangel ism—the going out into the by-ways and hedges to save men’s souls. If that is not true the Lord made a great mistake when he said; ‘I am the "way.’ ” There Is sound sense In these ut terances. If there is anything wrong Of what earthly use to a human soul can the ministry of an “apos tle of ihterrogation” be? He doubts all the creeds and questions the be liefs of the whole body of the faith ful of all ages; but he is not able to say what he himself believes. His is a mainstay of negation. The He brew Psalimst said “I believed,'there fore I speak.” How can he help any body? Men are not saved by denials and doubts, hut by positive beliefs and affirmative faith. There are many evidences that the most thoughtful laymen in all the churches have grown tired of this sort of thing. The reaction has not come too soon. Individuals, fami lies, churches, and in some instances whole communities, have been dam aged irreparably by such stuff the purveyors of doubt in the pulpit have put forth. Who does not know of individuals who were happy, con secrated, and useful members of the church until they sat under the min istry of certain men who preached more novelties than gospel? To make sermons which blight souls probable that the pastor has some thing to do with the matter, and it is a horrible profanation of the pui- pit and a dreadful desecration of the Sabbath, which can not he condemn- with any church, it is more than is certain that we have had in some pulpits a type of preachments which couid not fail to lower the spiritual vitality of those who heard them, ed too strongly. If a parish ask bread, will the pastor give his people a stone? Alas! some have! And some for a nutritious egg of truth have given a serpent of doubt. Churches can not prosper under such pastoral leadership. If every thing which has been believed by the saints of all ages is to be denied, what is the use of attending church at all? So men correctly argue, and they act accordingly. Again, the apostles of sensational ism have done the churches as much harm as the “apostles of interroga tion.” In truth, the typical sensa tionalist is a doubter himself, or he would not be a sensationalist. The reason which moves him to adopt sensationalism as his method for get ting a hearing is because he has lost faith in the gospel as He “power of God unto salvation.” Doubting the gospel, he can not preftch it with the ring of sincerity in his tone, and so he proceeds to discuss themes in the treatment of which his insincerity will not be betrayed by his speech. He can talk warmly about current topics, although he has no fervency in proclaiming the truth as it is in Jesus. Wherefore he falls to talking about political issues, social customs, popular books, court proceedings, crimes, and casualties, or whatso ever else may be attracting public attention for the moment. He is really running a sort of pulpit show, using current events as moving pic tures to draw a crowd. And he gets his crowds and his gate receipts; but he never builds up a church or pro motes piety fq the community. The greatest of minds have tried these methods and failed by them to accomplish any permanent spirit; ual good; and weak men can not hope to have better success when they pursue the same course of folly. Mr. Beecher tried it for years; hut his ministry was barren of religious results after he forsook the spiritual ministry of his earlier days and went off after sensationalism of every sort. Philips Brooks took the opposite course, and there lingers in Boston to this day, when years have passed since his death, the most hallowed and enduring results of his holy min istrations. One looks in vain through his published sermons for any discus sion of current theories in science, popular fiction, or the police force of Boston; but one never fails to find in his discourses the spiritual food upon which souls live, if they live at all. Distance will make Brooks look larger, but Beecher will fade away into a dim reminiscence, although in point of mental volume Beecher was perhaps the stronger man. It may be thatr we ought to pity more than we blame the weak men who fall into the ways of sensation alism. Most of them fall into such methods for sheer want of resources. They string out this shoddy stuff in the pulpit like a country merchant at a cross-roads store displays a great exhibit of cheap tin-ware in order to fill shelves which otherwise would be empty. sationalism in order to get a hear ing, if a man is able to discuss any great religious theme strongly and sincerely. The great questions of religion and morals have a death less interest for mankind. Said the late Professor James of Harvard Uni versity, “Let a controversy begin in a smoking room anywhere about free will, or God’s omniscience, or good and evil, and see how every one in the place pricks up his ears.” This truth which the famous psychologist stated so clearly, but which he did not always remember in his public Utterances, should dissuade all public teachers of every sort, and especially preachers, from indulging the itch for novelty and sensationalism. It is really discreditable to a man to use such meretricious methods; for there by he betrays the poverty of his in tellectual and moral resources. In our oountry there are many thousands of godly men in the pulpit who have not run in these evil ways; and wherever one of them is found nobody is asking, “What is the matter with his church?” Hungry souls fly to his ministry for spiritual food. Godliness prevails in his con gregation as sanctity shines in his life and breathes in his utterances. Truly, as Dr. Burrell says, there is nothing wrong with Christ and nothing wrong with Christ’s church. The truth once for all delivered to the saints is as potent as ever for the accomplishment of spiritual ends, and men were never more hungry for it. The people.have grown tired of these other things in the pulpit. Yellow journalism and yellow pulpit- ism have both seen* their greatest popularity. They must pass away. They may linger a little longer among certain debauched classes, but the gerat fiody of serious people are heatily sick of them. Decency dooms them. The votaries of vaude ville performances In the pulpit can not be depended upon to make an en during church. When they try it they succeed in producing nothing better than an abomination of deso lation standing where it ought not, a theater comique in a place sup posed to be set apart for the worship of Almighty God. It is time for Christly men to rise up and scourge these evils and drive them out of the temples which.were designed to be houses of prayer and not places of cheap entertainment. The lost note of a true Scriptural evangelism must sound through our land; we have had enough of the lu crative and hippodrome type of evan gelism. Clerical mountebanks can bring us no good; we need the min istry of prophets of God calling lost souls back to Chris’t. HOKE SMITH’S MEASURE CAUSES 14-CENT COTTON Cotton reached the record-hrlkking: price of 14 cents and over Friday. New Orleans quoted May at over 14 cents and New York quoted September at 14 certts. This is an advance of 38 points over Thursday. • The rise was due in large measure to the probable elimination from the tariff of the Clark tax amendment, and the substitution of the Smith-Lever amendment, introduced by Senator Hoke Smith and Representative Lever, fqr a reduced tax. Rad weather in the southwest^ espe cially in Texas, where the greatest cot ton crop is raised, also contributed to the rise. Well posted authorities think that the advance is not yet over, as the crop west of the Mississippi has been seriously curtailed. Barring a very early frost, Georgia’s wealth from the present crop will be enormous. At 14 cents a pound it brings $7Q a bale, which is exclusive of seed. A 2,000,000 bale crop at 14 c6nts means $140,000,000, exclusive of seed. Some private estimatfes are for a two and a quarter million crop, ‘but much depends on the frost date. Conditions are reversed this year, and Georgia, which suffered last year, will have a large yield, while Texas and the southwest, which had a bumper yield last year, will suffer this time. Spots in New York are quoted at 14.70; Atlanta,, 13.75. Find Huts of Ancients ROME, Sept. 29.—A number of huts believed to have been inhabited by shepherds before the foundation of Rome, 173 B. C„ have been discovered by Commandatore Bond, director of the excavations in the forum and on,, the Palatine. Some of the huts are so well preserved that their hearths are still in tact. IMS!

Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just a few moments—a delightful sur prise awaits everyone who tries this. Sarah Goodrich looked sharply about her as she stepped down from the train. She had expected that Delia would be there to meet her, but she was no where in sight, and Sarah had a curi ous feeling of being neglected. She handed over her trunk check to a baggage man and, firmly gripping her traveling bag, set forth in the direction of her own house. She was tired, for she had been on the go constantly dur ing a week spent in the city. There had been dinners, luncheons, the the ater, and some shopping, lengthy con sultations with her publishers, and bus iness in general to claim her attention. She had left nothing undone. Could she not rest completely when she got home? In the meantime she was certain that Delia could see to everything there capably; she had no need to worry. And, though her visit to the city had not consisted of relaxation, it had been a change, and Sarah, tired as she was, felt mentally invigorated and spiritual ly refreshed. She swung along rapidly through the streets until she came to her hoptiC. It was the home that she had earned by her own hands and brain. It expressed her in ..every line of its contour, every shade of its coloring. She had dwelt lovingly upon its making, its perfec tions. She had lavished her care and money upon it as upon a child, and it satisfied her. Gladly now she returned to it and to Delia. Delia was her sister, a year older and so different in looks that in the whole world there could not have been found two sisters more different. She kept the house and was a bulwark against care behind which Sarah hid herself softly. Sarah confided in Delia, but she did not wholly understand her. There were times when Delia puzzled her. To night was one of these times. As she rang the door bell she felt ruffled. There was a considerable pause and the door opened under Delia’s hand. Delia was tall, thin, with a long, pale face, light eyes and hair, aud not very good teeth. She wore her best dress, w4th a flower tucked into the lace on the bosom. “Why. Sarah!” she said- Sarah kissed her. At the sight of Delia her ruffflsd feeling vanished and she felt only joy in the safety and sure ty of her own house and her sister. “I looked for you at the station,” stie said. , “Well,” Delia flushed, “I meant to go really, but at the last moment some one came and I was hindered. I knew ypu wouldn’t mind. Why didn’t you t^ke a cab?” “Oh, my dear!” Sarah laughed. “I’ve been riding in cabs all the week. I wanted to walk.” She started upstairs toward her room. “I’ll have some tea ready for you when you come down,” Delia said. “Thank you, dear,” returned Sarah. It -was with a sigh of glad posses sion that she opened the door of her beautiful room. Sarah removed her coat and gloves and hat. She went to the cheval glass and looked into it smilingly. “It has been a hard week, but I haven’t even gathered a wrinkle,” she thought. She went into her writing room and fondly gazed at the books, the writing apparatus, and the statue of victory. "Tomorrow I shall be sitting here again at work,” she thought, and her spirits rose. Inspiration waited for her in every nook and corner of this room. It was here she had written her one really worth while book. She went to the window and, drawing aside the curtain, looked out. “Well,” she ex claimed, “there has been some change in my absence. There’s a new family moved into that empty house across the street.” “Who is the new family?” she asked Delia later, as she sat at the tea table. Della flushed again painfully. “The name is Harrison,” she said. Sarah looked up quickly. “What an odd note you have in your, voice, Delia! Have you taken cold?” “Oh, no, i guess not,” Delia replied- Sarah considered her thoughtfully- “Harrison!” she commented. “Whom have we ever known by the name of Harrison?” Delia did not answer. She swal lowed perceptibly. Her light eyes had a curiously awkward look. “Harrison—Harrison!” Sarah mused. Then light broke and she lauffbed. "Oh, I know now, Delia. That old flame of yours, Henry Harrison. It can’t be he? Is it? It is!” Still Delia did not speak. "How odd!” Sarah went on gaily, ”1 suppose he has oome back married, with children. I saw a young face at the window. And he’s taken that house?” “He has bought it," Delia said in a muffled way. “Still a drummer, I suppose?” “I don’t like that word,” Delia de murred. “It’s very commonly used,” Sarah set down her teacup with a click that endangered the china. “I’m afraid, dear, you still are sensitive on the sub ject of the man you refused mor e than a dozen years ago. Have you called on his wife?” “He has no wife. He’s g. widower,” said Delia- She rose, and, going to the window, turned her back upon her sis ter and her questioning. “A widower!” said Sarah. "Oh! Wid ower, spinster—opposne houses—old affair. Outcome, what?” Delia* turned as on a pivot. She was pale and her eyes looked rather wild. “No making fun, if you please,” she said, breathlessly. “I refused him once because—you made me. You worked upon, my pride, you laughed at me, you desided him, you held out great inducements. You said you needed me. I was your all, the oil that fed the lamp of your genius, and I don’t know waat all. We were poor then, and I let myself be hoaxed. I thought I had my place, my duty to fill to you. And I’ve filled it for twelve years, but now he’s come back and—I’m going to marry him!” She hurled thie words forth defi antly. Sarah rose to her feet, gripping the polished edge of the table. It reflected her like a glass. “Delia!” she gasped. “What are you saying? WHat do you mean?” Delia came nearer and they faced each other. “I’ll tell you what I mean,” she said. “That is, I’ll try to tell you. Our fairy godmother gave you what would have been a decent plenty for both of us—all the looks and the style and the talent. Why, I began to know that when I was just a little girl. And as we got bigger and began to go out 1 only got attention because I was your sister. Mother bred it in me tfl^t I must live up to you, and everybody took the same view of us after you be gan to write—I must live up to you. And I tried. I stood by and saw you get everything. You led and I tagged after as best I could. And then Henry Harrison came and I gave him 1 up be cause you didn’t seem to think he had any right in your plan of things. I’ve tried to be contented with what I’ve done afterward. I trotted all over Eu rope with you and tried to pretend I liked it because you did, but I didn’t. Then we came home and you built this house and began to live in it. It was your house, all yours, built by your money in a way you liked. I couldn't feel it was my home. Lots of times I ve hated it. Whenever we’ve been asked out I’ve felt always that they invited me because I was your sister. The women are nice to me because I’m your sister. That’s why the men behave well to me. They don’t care about me. The only one of them all that’s ever tried to make love to me without having one eye on you was Henry Harrison. I love him for it. That’s why he seems to be my very own without some touch of you in it. You’ve always managed everything else for me—my clothing, my work, everything. Some women would have liked it, maybe, but I guess the reason 1 don’t is because I’ve either got too much or too little of something —individuality, maybe you'd call it. I'll mean something to Henry, and anyway I'll be my own boss. 'That’s all, Sarah. It isn’t that I'm ungrateful; it’s only that I'm tired- tired to death of—of—” She looked at the polished table and the right words came quickly—“of reflecting your glory. I guess that's just what I mean, though I haven’t expressed myself very well.” Stte smiled pathetically. “You’ve expressed yourself very well,” Sarah said. “In fact, I’m very much surprised by this new revelation of you. I see that I’ve always lived with somebody I didn’t know. But we are acquainted now. You have under stood me better than I hav$ understood you, Delia!” She went to Delia and laid hands on the narrow shoulders. She looked deep into Delia’s eyes. Her face was of a quivering pallor. “Delia, you’ve a right to live your life in your own way. The trouble is I’ve never dreamed that way was not mine. I thought you were my other self. I wanted it so. I tried to make it so. I see now you've been very brave and very lonely. I’m glad you’ve told me this. And I'm glad you are going to marry Henry.” The gentle way In which Sarah spoke her lover’s name loosed Delia’s tense spirit. Tears came and sobbing she fell forward on Sarah's bosom. “Oh, I wish I could have been like you—like what you wanted me to be,” she said. Sarah's eyes, looking over her head, -ield untold depths. She patted one thin shoulder with her beautiful hand. “In that ease you wouldn’t have been Delia,” she said. “And I’d rather have you just Delia,” Those women once childless, now happy a physicallvwell with healthy childrenwill tell h Lydia E.
