A SAD MISTAKE.
Serious Results of Indecision
There :itc sonic vexatious ex
ptnsive errors of omission, anil errors
of commission. A gentleman hur
rying along Newcastle the other
evening, saw his wife just ahead of
him in the twilight. Instantly he
thought of a capital joke, ami could
hardly keep from laughing outright.
Butthat wouldn't have done. He
hurried alongside, and turning his
face away, so 'that she would not
. recognize him at once, he hie coughed
like a drunken man and staggered
up against her. Os course then* was
a scream, but he only 'staggered the
more, crowding her’against the fence,
and as the lady’ started to run he
grabbed her and with a loud laugh
turned her toward him—
Great ! ! ! ! !
It wasn't his wife at all, but a
strange lady!
That was an error of commission,
but not the serious mistake we in
tended to refer to.
An explanation and apology made
that right.
Not all the begging of pardons in
the world can make things even in
the other ease. Lost opportunities
are gone. Some writer has likened
opportunity to a lovely woman with
a few locks of hair over her forehead,
an 1 the rest of her head clean shaven.
In the ancient game you might catch
her by the bead ns she came dashing
like the wind, but when she got by,
you might as well grab at the bottom
of a copper kettle. There is a great
deal in having the quick judgement
and decision to see and take ad
vantage instantly of splendid oppor
(unities. These qualities frequently
make all the difference between ;
poor man and a millionaire, between
a sad life and a glad one. A few
dollars or even a few cents, saved
every week or month, makes a man
independent and happy. A few dol
lars farther behind means shame and
distress. When a man struggles
against a rushing tide, it makes :
vast difference whether his head is u
few inches above the surface or a few
inches under. But how is a pool
roan to keep even? Prices are ad
vanning; crop prospects are poor.
But prices are not advancing
yet all along the line. There art
now splendid opportunities to save
money. They should be taken ad
vantage of before it is lorever too
lute. A dollar may buy more now
than two dollars after a while. We
want you to call in and see for your
self what a slaughter we are making
in prices. Our stock, no one will

HIS LIFE OF CHRIST.
OR. TALMAGE’S LITER
ARY WORK.
FMter Coates Gets a Glimpse at the
Proof Sheets of “From to
Throne”—A Most Interesting Literary
Work Is Here Described.
[Copyright by American Press Association ]
Few [K-rsons possess Dr. T. De Witt
• Talmage’s most distinguishing cliarac
teristic—something to say, and the
ability to clothe the thought tn lan
gunge fresh and striking. The great
Brooklyn divine has given us another
example of his tireless energy, his great
study and his matchless word paintings
in his life of Christ—“ From Manger to
I Throne"—to lie issued in a few days
from the press of the Historical Pub-
'Evie
ARAB INHABITANTS.
fishing Company, of Philadelphia.
Through the courtesy of Mr. 11. 8.
’’ Smith, president of the company, I
am enabled to tell something about the
n work in advance, for I have seen the
n proof sheets.
The book differs from all other lives
s of the Christ in this, that it is a simple
I narrative in which no theological ques
li i tions are propounded, no “views” ex
I tolled, and there is no straining after
’ i effect.
It is made up of (JOO pages, with over
I J 400 engravings, copies of famous paint
- | ings by the old masters illustrating
’ i scenes in the life of Christ and portraits
" | of the Saviour by many famous paint
*■ j ers. In addition there is a splendid
! i panorama of the crucifixion in colors,
* ’ ten feet in length, which is a great
achievement of the publishers.
y i As a literary effort the book is the
II i most ambitions of the gi-eat preacher's
11 life. It fulfills all the requirements of
a | literary style and finish. Each fact was
<1 I carefully weighed and scrutinized be
ll I fore put on paper. Nothing was taken
I-i for granted. It is not the work of an
d 1 idle hour, but rather the life work of a
-s strong man still in his prime. It should
a ' meet with a cordial welcome. It is not
a written above the head of the average
iv | reader. On the contrary, it is a series
if of magnificent word pictures, so simple
I that a child would be interested hi
r. them. The reader is taken to every
-- spot made remarkable in the Holy
e Land, and the guide is like a delightful
e elder brother sitting in the twilight re-
| . hearsing the old, old story, ever new.
0 | “I have been writing that book for
, thirty-five years,” Dr. Talmage told me
e recently, and he supplements this in
his preface by saying:
, “hi my American home, on the At
’ lantic, on the Mediterranean, on camel's
r back, on mule's back, on horseback,
under chandelier, by dim candle in
, tent, on Lake Galilee, in convent, at
i Bethel, where Jacob's pillow was
stuffed with dreams and the angels bf
the ladder landed; at the brook Blah,
e from which little David picked up the
ammunition of five smooth stones, four
more than were needed for crushing
‘ like an eggshell the skull of Goliath; in
the valley of Ajalon, over which, at
Joshua's command, Astronomy halted,
on the plain of Esdraelon, the battle
field of ages, its long red flowers sug
gestive of the blood dashed to the bits
of the horses’ bridles; amid the shat
tered masonry of Jericho, in Jerusalem,
1 that overshadows all other cities in rem
iniscence; at Cana, where plain water
became festal beverage; on Calvary,
whose aslant and ruptured rocks still
show the effects of the earthquake at
the awful hemorrhage of tiie five
wounds that purchased the world’s res
1 cue, and with my hand mittened from
the storm, or wet from the Jordan, or
bared to the sun, or gliding over
smooth table, this book has been writ
1 ten.”
I Dr. Talmage is the only author of a
life of the Christ who visited the Holy
. Land for the purpose of seeing for him
self the scenes made famous by the
birth and crucifixion of the Saviour,
and this record of his life is one of the
most interesting portions of the book
Tire writer vividly portrays the visit ol
Mary and Joseph in Egypt:
“Over the hills and down through
the deep gorge they urge their way. By
Hebron, by Gaza, through hot sand,
under a blistering sun, the babe crying,
the mother faint, the father exhausted
How slowly the days and weeks pass
Will the weary three ever reach the
banks of the Nile! Will they ever see
Cairo! Will the desert ever rtid l When
at last they cross the line beyond which
old Herod has no right to pursue their
joy is unbounded. Free at last I Let
them dismount and rest. Now they
resume their way with less anxiety
They will find a place somewhere fol
shelter and the earning of their bread
Hero they are at Cairo, Egypt. They
wind through the crooked streets, which
are about ten feet wide, and enter the
humble house where I have been today.
It is nine steps down from the level of
the street. It is such a place as no
reader of this book would like to dwell
1 in. 1 measured the room, and found it
20 feet long and 7 1-2 feet high. There
, are three shelvings of rock, one of
wliich 1 think was the cradle of out
i Lord. There is no window, and all the
light must have come from lantern of
candle What a place for the king of
heaven r» live in I”
.Vs hi approaches Jerusalem the doe
tor can hardly contain himself. He is
sitting or a patient camel’s back writ i
ing there words: “Along the route 11

bol.iness and jaggedn.-ss of the scenery

I and heart urr.-nuer. and the nps that
for a long while were exclamatory Imj
eome speechless. Before sundown we
will see Jerusalem. 1 never had such
high expectations of seeing any place
as of seeing the holy city. I found my
self singing ‘Jerusalem, My Happy
Home,' while dressing myself this
I morning. I think my feelings may be
slightly akin to that of the Christian
just about to enter the heavenly Jeru
salem.”
Then follows a graphic picture of the
great city, and the visitor’s thoughts as
i his eyes beheld it for the first time.
Dr. Talmage gives a description of a
baptism in the Jordan. He says:
“Yesterday on horseback we left Jer
icho, and having dipped in the Dead
sea we came with a feeling that we
cannot describe upon the Jordan, a
river which more people have desired
to see than any other. On our way
we overtook an American, who request
ed me x» baptize him by immersion in
the river Jordan. We dismounted at
the plane where Joshua and his host
once crossed the river dry shod We
were near a turn in the river, and not
far off from where rocks and sand are
piled up in shape of cathedrals, domes
and battlements. We pitched our tent,
and after proper examination of the
candidate for baptism I selected por
tions of Scripture appropriate. One of
our Arab attendants had a garment
not unlike a baptismal robe. With
that garment girdled around me I
led the candidate dow-n under the
trees on the bank, while near by
’ were groups of friends and some
’ strangers who happened to be there.
After a prayer I read of Christ's
' baptism in the Jordan and the
' commission, ‘Go, teach all nations,
baptizing them.’ The people on the
bank then joined in singing to the fa
r miliar tune that soul stirring song, ‘On
Jordan’s Stormy Bank 1 Stand.’ With
r the candidate’s hands in mine we wad
ed deep into the Jordan, and I then de
’ dared, In this historical river, where
th<- Israelites crossed, and Naaman
plunged seven times for the cure of his
leprosy, and Christ was baptized, and
which lias been used bi all ages as a
' symbol of the dividing line between
earth and heaven, I baptize thee in the
name of the Father and of the Son and
! of the Holy Ghost. Amen.' As the
candidate went down under the waves
1 and then rose I felt a solemnity that
Ino other scene could have inspired. As
the ordinance was observed ‘under the
direction of no particular denomina
‘ tion of Christians, and no particular
church could be responsible for it. 1
feel it my duty to report what I did to
' the church universal.”

took the last look at Jerusalem, and I
felt and remarked it was the last look
at that sacred city on earth, and tlie
next Jerusalem w-e shall see will be the
heavenly. We went on within sight of
Mizpah and Gibeon, where Joshua,
commanded the sun to stand still; on
by Rama, connected with Samuel's
history; on by the traditional village
where thp parents of Christ missed
their boy, about three and a half miles
from Jerusalem. This is tlio road over
which Jesus came and went from Jeru
salem to Nazareth. To-night we en
damp at Bethel, where was once a
school of the prophets, a theological
seminary. Elijah and Elisha were
here. Near this Abraham and Lot di
vided the land. Here Jacob, pillowed
on a stone, saw the ladder used by
angels’ feet, and he set up a stone and
consecrated it. To-night the heavens
were full of ladders—first a ladder of
clouds, then a ladder of stars, and all

angels of beauty, angels of consolation,
angels of God ascending and descend

Jacob, ‘and I knew it not.’ But to
night God is in this place, and I know

'Dio doctor has this to say about tra
dition, history and fact before begin
ning the real work of the book:
“Are the places that I see in Pales
tine and Syria and the Mediterranean
isles the genuine places of Christ ly, pa
triarchal and apostolic association?
Many of them are not, ami many of
them are. We have no sympathy with
the bedwarflng of tradition. There an
traditions contradicted by their absurd
ity, but if for several generations a sen
sible tradition goes on in regard to
events connected with certain places, I
am as certain of the localities as though
pen aud document had fixed them
Indeed, sometimeis tradition is more t<.
bo depended on than written eominu
ideation. A writer may, for bad pur
poses, misßeprossrtit, mfeeonstme, mis
state; but reasonable traditions con
cerning places connected with great
events are apt to be true. I have no
more doubt concerning the place on
which Christ was crucified or in wlfieh
Christ was buried than I have
about the fact that our Ix>rd was slain
and entombed. But suppose traditions
contradict each other? Then try them,
test them, compare them as you do doo
uments. It is no more difficult to sep

In order to avoid the risk run by rail
way employes in laying down fog sig
nals in thick weather Messrs. Child it
Emery have lately devised a set of ap
pliances. A telescopic spring box plat- j
form is fixed in the four foot way, and I
an electric contact roller is carried un
der the buffer bar of the locomotive.
An electric bell and disc are placed
near the driver. When the locomotive
passes over the platform referred to it
depresses the upper box, completing
tiie electric circuit and causing the bell
on the locomotive to ring, while at the
same time the disc indicates danger.
Simultaneously a gong is rung on a sig
nal post and the arm indicates danger.
By pulling a cord everything is restored
to its normal condition. The system
has been in use for a month or two at
Erith, and has given every satisfaction.
