Bible Repentance,
Sinner repent and he converted
that your sins may be forgiven. Re
pentance is not turning around no*
but resolviDg to do better but you
mu9t come to Christ confessing your
sins, be converted and be born of the
holy spirit and show by your works
that you have been horn again. Now
my sinner friend you should not let
the wicked things of this world make
you neglect your duty but let your
walk in life show that your light may
shine and not be a stumbling block to
sinners and God will give yon a hap
py home in Heaven when you die.
My friends it is much more to be a
Christian than all the wealth of this
world for when you die it is for all t
ternil; you can have them while you
live but can’t carry them. W*ll
my sinner friend what will it profit
you if you gain the world and lose
your soul and have to spend in eter

Now my sinner friend let me beg you
to come to Christ and be saved while
you have the chance,, From one that

Flying Kites For Luck.
On the ninth day of the ninth month,
according to the Chinese calendar, nil
the Celestials, old and young alike, be
take themselves to the hills behind
their towns and amuse themselves by
flying kites. But amusement is not
the sole reason for this ceremony. It
conies from nil old Chinese legend,
and if a Chinaman did not fly his kite
on the given day he would rest uneas
ily for the remainder of his life in fear
that misfortune would overtake his
family. The legend runs that many
years ago a certain Chinaman was
warned in a dream that a misfortune
would come to his home on u certain
day. Accordingly on that day he re
paired to an ndjaeent hill and amused
himself and his family hy tlving a
kite while he was waiting for the dis
aster. In the evening, upon returning
to the valley in which his house was
situated, he found that it had fallen
in and bnr’~d H*? ;>!<<■’ beneath it. Tie
and ills neighbors joined in thanksgiv
ing for his narrow escape, and in
memory of the .event every year sees
the flight of millions of kites in China.

The Unsociable Young Napoleon.
At dinner during the voyage to Cor
sica, to which ray father invited the
passengers who included some officers
of his regiment and the two Corsicans,
he requested an officer, M. de Belloc,
to call a young man who was wearing
the uniform of the military school and
reading at the end of the boat. The
young man refused. M. de Belloc
came back irritated and said to my
father: ‘‘l should like to throw the
unsociable little fellow into the sea.
He has an unpleasant face. Will you
grant me permission, colonel?”
“No,” said my father, laughing,
“and I am not of your opinion. Ills
face shows character, and I am sure
that he will be heard of some day."
The unsociable fellow was the future
Emperor Napoleon. Belloc bus related
this scene to me at least ten times,
adding, with a sigh. “Ah, If the colonel
had only allowed me to throw him into
the sea he would not be turning the
world upside down today."—From
Memoirs of Comtesse de Bolgne.
No Gain and Some Loss.
“Yes,” the leader of the amateur
brass band was saying, “it's curious
to see what an o.Ycct learning to play
a born has o i souo persons. 1 used to
be a pretty good bass singer, ljut I
can’t sing wortli a cent now.”
“Does learning to play a horn spoil
the voice?” asked his next door neigh
bor.
“It did mine.”
“How- do you account for It?”
“I don’t know how to account for it.
Strains the vocal cords perhaps. All I
know Is that I blew my voice out
through the mouthpiece of my cornet.”
“Did you have a good voice?”
"Everybody said ho.”
“Then it’s a great pity you ever
learned to play a horn,” replied his
neighbor, shaking his head sadly. “I—
er—think I should have enjoyed hear
ing you sing.”—Youth’s Companion.
He Knew the Kind,
A small hoy In Boston was rebuked
by his father for swearing. “Who told
you that I swore?” asked the had little
hoy. “Oh, a little bird told me,” said
the father. The boy stood and looked
out of the window at some sparrows
which were chattering. “I know who
told you,” he said. ”It was one of
those damn sparrows.”

HOll. Charles L* Bart
lett Has a National
Record on the Pro
hibition Subject.
On the 27th of January, 1908, th*
following Bill was considered and
passed by the House of Representa
tiveos of the United States:
' Be it Enacted, <fcc.,That all ferm
ented, distilled, or other intoxicating
liquors or liquids transported into any
State or Territory or remaining there
in for use, consumption, sale or stor
age therein, shall upon arrival within
the boundary of such State or Terri
tory, before and after delivery, be
subject to the operation and effect of
the laws of such State or Territory
enacted in the exercises of its po
lice powers to the same extent and in
the same manner as though such li
quids or liquors had been produced in
such State or Territory, and shall not
be exempt therefrom by reason of be
ing introduced therein in origional
packages or otherwise."
Mr. Bartlett voted for the above
Bill and advocated its passage on the
floor of the House of Representatives.
Mr. Bartlett is also opposed to the
issuence of retail liquor license by the
U.S. Government in dry states or dry
counties of any s'&te.
He also is in favor of a law requir
ing the Internal Revenue Department
to be made to furnish certified copies
of reta 1 license, in case they are issu
ed in a dry county, to be used as prl
ina facie evidence against the defend
ant in ‘"blind tiger" cases.
This record of Mr. Bartlett was
made back in tqe past, five years ago,
long before many of these rampant
“prohis” ever thought of getting on
the water wagon.
We qnote herewith an excerpt of
Mr. Bartl itt’s speech.
Mr. Bartlett. Mr. Speaker, I think
that this bill ought to pass. It is a
bill providing simply .that the States
that have enacted laws upon the suu
joct of the rale of liquor—that have
enacted laws, it may be, for the pur
pose of preventing the sale of liquor,
or for the purpose of regulating the
sale of liquor—haye a right to say
under the Constitution whether those
laws shall be defeated and destroyed
by means of the use of the interstate
coin meree clause of the Constitution
which the Supreme Court has decided
in the Rhodes case may be used for
that purpose.
Now, it is a well-known fact that
in the State of Maine, which has had
a prohibition law engrafied in her
enstitution for fifty years, and all o
ver t he country, in every State where
prohibition laws exist, those who de
sire to violate those laws simply pro
cure a IJ. S’ license from the internal
revenue collector, and set up their
business and defy the laws of the
States. This bill, as I understand,
simply transfers to the State legisla
tures and the State local authorities
the right which I believe they have
always had since the organization o(
this Government —the right which
the States reserved to themselves
when thev entered into the compact
of States—the right to govern their
own local affairs and the right to puss
and have enforced police laws as the
people of those States desire that
they should be enforced. This is all
I desire to say about the bill.”
Like* Being Hunted.
The extraordinary Intelligence and
skill displayed by reynard when be
ing hunted makes it extremely prole
able that he, In common with the
huntsman and the hounds, feels the
keen pleasure of the pride of art—an
important constituent of the spirit of
the sport. In proof of this, an old fox,
when fresh, has often been observed to
wait ior the hounds, apparently with
the purpose of drawing them on, and
so giving j n opportunity for the dis
play of his skill. The fox owes his
present existence in England to his
skill in providing sport, and it is not
therefore unreasonable to suppose that
be has acquired the sporting instinct,
just as the pointer, the hunter and the
terrier certainly enter into the spirit of
the sport for which they have been
bred and to which, therefore, they owe
their exi.iU <•.- London Standard.

Our Lott Sense.
One of tiie greatest discoveries of
physiology is that we once had alx
senses. What the lost sense was no
one knows, and probably no one will
ever know, but that our forefathers
possessed It there Is no doubt, for
the remains ot that part of the brain
in which It raided are still to be seen
in any one of us. These remains
are simply a small and now perfectly
useless little mass of brain substance
called the pituitary liody. It consists
of two tiny little oval lobes joined
together and lying in n little cavity
of the skull, strangely named the sell*
turcica and situuted over and behind
the nose. It Is quite possible thut It
may have enabled our forefathers to
see In the dark before lumps and can
dles were Invented, or it may have
placed them in communion with ghosts
and fairies, or It inny have been an
organ that enabled them to go home
In u l>ee line when they lost their way
in the primeval forests. On the other
hand. It Is possible that it was n bad
substitute for vision or smell or hear
ing and died out when the improved
sense organ develop'd.
Mirrors as Datsctlvss.
“It Is not solely to please the lady
patrons," said an Interior decorator,
“thut mirrors so abound in shops. They
serve Hiiother and more lmi*ortant pur
pose. They help detect shoplifters.
If you should study the various watch
ers In the employ of big retail stores
you would find that they don’t watch
the patrons directly. They look at
their reflections In the mirrors. Of
course their watching done that way is
unperceived. The shoplifter glances atj
the watcher, sees that his back Is to
her and secretes u pair of silk stock-:
logs In her shirt waist. The next mo
ment she feels an unfriendly and ter
rifying tap on her shoulder, and the
watcher, who inis caught her by the
mirror’s aid, bids her sternly to ac-'
company him to the office." New York'
