LATE NhWS NOTES. General. Myra McHenry, who has frequent ly been arrested for chopping up sa loons with her hatchet, has left Wich ita, Kan., for Washington, D. C.. where she-says she will keep tab on congress this winter. When the city officials of Wichita learned that she wanted to go east they took up a col lection to defray her expenses. What is believed to have been the 0;-st presidential mansion in the Unit ed States is being torn down in New York city to make way for a struc ture paying larger revenues. It was known as the old Van Altren house, and stood under one of the immense arches of the Brooklyn bridge on Cherry Hill. It was to this house that President Washington returned after taking the oath of office, and there he resided from April 23, 1759, to February 23, 1790. The final appraisal of the estate of the late E. H. Harriman fixes the to tal at $149,000,000. His widow, there fore, becomes the richest woman in the world. Professor Robert J. Sprague of the University of Maine in an address before the Women’s Literary union, said: “Divorce is not an evil. It is rather a patent medicine, taken to relieve the ills of the family. The only remedy for divorce will be found in a co-operative working by the fam ily and in a spiritual rather than an economic upion. The zenith of indi vidualism has been reached. Woman has become a household pet. Man builds her an elegant home and puts her in it. From then on man and woman cease to be partners.’’ The North Carolina board of agri culture has passed a regulation hav ing for its purpose the keeping of the boll weevil out of this state. The regulation forbids the importation of cotton seed, cotton seed hulls, loose cotton in any shape and baled cotton unless compressed from Arkansas. “Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Ala bama. « . Completed statistics of the football season closed on Thanksgiving day give a total of thirty-three deaths and two hundred and sixteen seriously in jured as the frightful result, Of the killed, twenty-one were high school boys and nine college men. Of the injured one hundred and seventy-one were college men and forty school boys. In consequence, university and preparatory school authorities have launched a new movement for re form in the rules of the game. Washington. The marking of the graves of the Confederate dead who died in north ern prisons probably will occupy all of next year, and Secretary of War Dickinson lias asked for an exten sion of time for performing this work after February 26, when the leg islative authority will expire. Gener al William C. Oates is the commis sioner charged with the duty of marking these graves and Secretary Dickinson says that while General Oates has been dilligently at work, it is still incomplete. He thinks, however, that it can be finished with in the next calendar year. The government of Honduras, ap prehending an armed invasion, has proclaimed martial law throughout the republic. This information reach ed the state department but no indi cation was given as to the source from which the invasion was expect ed. The president was called upon by the senate to furnish it information concerning action taken under the treaty of March 1, 1905, for the sup pression of the “white slave” trade. President Taft’s speech, delivered at Winona, Minn., during his recent tour, in which he sustained the Payue-Aldrich tariff bill, will be pre sented as a senate document. An or der to this effect was given by the senate. The “Thomson meteorite,” which fell in McDuffie county, Georgia, near ly twenty years ago, has been receiv ed by the Smithsonian Institution in this city through the courtesy of George H. Plant of Macon, Ga. A gun is being designed in the army arsenal for the purpose of shooting drigible balloons and aero planes. The chief of the ordnance iu his annual report to the secretary of war submitted outlines of some of the difficulties which the gun must over come. “Dirigible balloons and aero planes move rapidly, change direc tions quickly, alter their elevations at will and are removed from any objects that assist aiming,” points out the ordinance chief. Tired of having American naval officers take a back seat at foreign funerals, weddings and other gather ings with an international tinge to them, Rear Admiral Potter, aid of personnel to the secretary of the navy, wants congress to revive the rank of vice admiral.

The Sunday = School INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM MENTS FOR DECEMBER IS). Review of the Lessons for the Fourth Quarter —Golden Text: “I Have Fought a Good Fight, I Have Finished My Course, I Have Kept the Faith.” 2 Tim. 4:7. The lessons of this quarter again are all about Paul, his life and his teachings. They can be profitably re viewed under two heads: The leading events in Paul's life; and. The prom inent points in his character. We give here a few prominent points in his character as brought out in the lessons of the quarter: In Lesson I. We have his calm ness and fearlessness in danger. In Lesson 11. We have again his calmness in danger and also his pru dence and good sense. In Lesson 111. , We have his deli cate courtesy and his fearlessness and faithfulness. In Lesson IV. We have his prompt obedience to divine guidance, his un tiring zeal for Christ. In Lesson V. We have his absolute fearlessness in storm and tempest and his absolute confidence in God’s Word. In Lesson VI. We have his humil ity and his readiness to do any kind of work for the welfare of others. In Lesson VII. We have his long ing for human friendship and sympa thy, his love for his countrymen and his faithfulness in declaring the whole Word of God. In Lesson VIII. We have his joy in suffering for Christ and his humil ity. In Lesson IX. We have his sound judgment, breadth of view and love of peace. In Lesson X. We have his tact and his justice. In Lesson XI. We have his faith fulness to the end, his hopefulness in regard to the future, his forgiveness toward his faithless friends- and his unshakable confidence In the Lord. Herald Blasts. *‘l shall not want,” is always the song of the soul in which there is no doubt. Whoever gives his body to be burned, and has not love, throws away his ashes. No greater mistake can be made than to make the accumulation of riches the first business of life. The lantern that only shines when the sun shines will never be of any service to those who are lost. Unless we say ‘‘Our Father” in our money getting, we cannot worship God by saying it in church. Without consistent Christian life to back up the preacher, there Is no use in ringing the church bell. The preacher who puts thought into his sermons will, sooner or later, find himself preaching to people who think. It hurts more to live a day without prayer than without bread. Suppose there are hypocrites in the church, does that make your sinning any safer? The man who loves sin is a sinner, no matter how much he pays for a pew in church. Begin every day with this thought: What happens to-day will be what God sees is best. The Christian never has to count his cash to find out how much he has to be thankful for. A cold church will soon begin to warm up when God’s fire is burning in the preacher’s heart. Isn’t there a strong touch of hy pocrisy in thanking God for the bread and finding fault with the cook?—Home Herald. Our Sphere of Service. Our Lord did not give the wretched man whom He had found lurking among the tombs and cured the priv ilege of accompanying Him. He did not send him as a missionary to some distant city. He told him to go home to the friends who had seen him In his degradation, to those who knew his history, and tell them what great things had been done for him. Those who receive God’s blessings should not forget their obligations to those nearest them. Our first duty lies within the little sphere in which we move in our common daily living. To fill that well is our greatest privilege, and in it is enfolded our greatest blessing if we will but claim it. A Present Christ. We need not only the risen Christ but the returned Christ; not only the historic Christ, nor the heavenly, but the spiritual, the intimate, the hus band of the soul in its daily vigor, its daily conflict, its daily fear, its daily joy, its daily sorrow, its daily faith, hope, love. We need, oh! how we need, a Lord and Master, a Lover and King of our single, inmost, shameful, precious souls, the Giver and the Goal of our most personal salvation, a Conscience without our conscience, and a Heart amidst our heart and its ruins and its resurrec tion.—P. T. Forsyth. The Cost of Self-Respect. No one can respect himself, or have that sublime faith in himself, which is essential to all high achievements, when he puts mean, half-hearted, slipshod service into what he does. He cannot get his highest self-appro val until he does his level best. No man can do his best, or call out the highest thing in him, while he re gards his occupation as drudgery or a bore. —Scottish Reformer., > Saviour Slain for > Fighting Labor s Battle Ey the Rev. Charles Steldle, of New York, Superintendent of the Department of Church and Labor of the Presbyterian Church HE most important thing about the labor question Is to give » 4 the other fellow a square deal. The labor question will T I t never be settled until the last day’s work is done. Our • I Z ideals are constantly advancing and no matter how high x ▼ our ethical standard, the next generation will declare that »<>♦<»♦♦♦ our conception of the solution of the labor problem has £ ♦ been altogether Inadequate. As though It were the business of the church to keep down social unrest! Rather Is the opposite true. It is the ousiness of the church to create social unrest. There are no labor troubles in Darkest Africa, but if the missionaries that the church is sending there aie on their jobs, you will soon hear of demands for better social conditions arnoing the workers. The church must also make a fight for the masses of the people living In our great cities. The filthy slum, the unsanitary factory, the dark tenement, t e l°ng hours of toil, the lack of a living wage, the back-breaking labor, the inability to pay necessary doctor’s bills in times of sickness, the poor and in efficient food, the lack of leisure, the swift approach of old age, the dismal future these weigh down the hearts and the lives of the multitudes in our great cities. Many have almost forgotten how to smile; to laugh is a l«st art. No hell in the future can be worse to them than the hell in which they now are. It is in meeting the needs of these that the Church must be aggressive. It must tell the truth about the people, as well as those who are oppressing them. For this is what Jesus did. It must tell the truth even though it be crucified, as its Masler was. It was because Jesus went to His death for your sake and for mine that. His Power is growing today as it has never grown before. Workingmen are saying that if Jesus were on earth to-day He would fight the battle of the laboring man, and they are right. He fought them when lie was ui>on earth. They killed Him for doing so. The progress made by working people throughout every generation has been due to the influence of Jesus iu all ages. He has beeu their champion and their friend. s!/* * Tips a Necessity Abroad Traveling Americans Should Follow Customs of the Country Visited Ey William Jillen White ji IPS arc un-American. But if Americans don’t like them Tthojr should stay at home. And if they don’t stay at home they should conform to the custom of their hosts. But, on the other hand, the Americans shouldn't be fools about it, Hr--- = They should be victorious, like the young woman in the story, without being a fanatic on the subject. Tips in Eur ope go to honest, underpaid, hard-working people. It is not fault of the system of caste which keeps them servile and dependent. So when a hotel bill is paid one should take 5 percent of the sum —no more and no less —and give it to the help. The ordinary middle class hotel pension, where the rates run from $1.40 to $2.40 per day, will have four or five persons who could be tipped: the head waiter, the table waiter, the chambermaid, the porter, and the concierge—or general factotum at the door, who tells you what car or ’bus to take, who knows all about the town, and whose friendship and good will are pearls of great price. * * * Eur opean newspapers are filled with advertisements of men and women out of work who can speak three languages. The heart-break of Europe is the hun dreds of thousands of honest, intelligent men and women, awakened by the spread of free schools and universal education to aspirations from which caste and class lines bar them, And, if these poor people have to beg—and that is what the tip system amounts to —Heaven knows no one should visit his wrath at the system upon the victims of the system. Uses for the North Pole By Professor Edward C. Pickering. Director of the Harvard College Observatory |- ■ —' *i HETHER both Commander Peary and Dr. Cook have actu- Wally stood on the spot that represents the northern end of the earth’s axis is of no real importance to science. With the instruments they carried, the best that could _ North Pole, or, say, a mile or so from the spot. The delicate observations and calculations necessary LmmJl to determine the exact position of the pole can never be made until a meteorological station of some sort is estab lished near the pole, and I think the United States government could best take full advantage of the splendid work of these two explorers by sending up into the North a floating meteorological station aboard a ship equipjlbd like Nansen’s Fram that could enter the Arctic ice pack and in three years drift across the region, while a body of scientists on board make the observa tions and collect the data possible. More than this, I think that, now that the public’s interest is aroused, it would be well to remember that the United States government could keep a floating station of the Weather Bureau alw-ays in the polar region by sending two or shree ships out at intervals of a year or so, in order that as one ship was drifting away from the top of the world another would be approaching it. Rather Wild. "Your boy was just a little-er-wild when he was at college, wasn’t he?” “Oh, yes; he generally was a little wild at first. Couldn’t get ’em over the plate, you know.
