The Kingdom of Heaven- is
within you. If you do not wish
for His kingdom, don't pray for
It. But if you do you must do
more than pray for it; you must
work for it. And to work for it,
you must ( know, what it is; we
have all yrayed for it many a
.day without thinking.. Observe,
Jt is a-kingdom that is to come
to us; we are not to go to it. Al
so, it is not to come outside ol
os; butjii the hearts of us. "The
Kingdom of God is within you."
.And, being within us, it is not a
thing to be seen, but, to be felt;
and though it brings all substan
e of good with it,i it does not
jconsist in that: '"The kingdom
of God is not meat and drink, but
righteousness, puce and joy In
the Holy "Gost joy, that' i's to
say in the holy, healthful, and
Iieiptul Spirit. ,

Coyote and Man In a Duel.; .
A remarkable afory r e 0 c h e s
I3oie from Burley of a fight'. lw
tween a man and a coyote at the
bottom of a forty foot mining
shaft. The mon was Nephil Birch.
He had occasion to vinithisclfiiin
in the mountains south of Bur
ley. His mifhioii took him down
the abaft on the ladder. This did
not reach quite to the bottom,
so he dropped from the end. two
or three feet. 1
. He was immediately made a
ware that, the narrow spHce was
occupied. A wild animul sprang
at the ladder as though to climb
out. Failing in tlmt, if turned up
on Birch, and jumped on him,
knocking him down.
It pranr at his throat, but
missed, and in a second spring
grabbed the collar of his coat, to
which it huner. A fierce battle en-
sued for a long time, Birch utdug
his fift to beat the beast off, his
bands being badly injured.
Finally he found an old drill
and with this bent the beast of)
and then killed it. Lighting a can
die, he found it to be a coyote.

Money sent to mail order hous
es is taken entirely out of the cir
culation of the communities from
which it is sent. There are people
who insist upon dealing with for
eign houses even when they can
get the same commodities at as
low a price at home. This is a
very bad policy for all concerned,
and is as harmful to the people
who practice it as to others. It
is good policy and good business
to pay a little more for articles
at home rather than buy, them
abroad. Ex.
