E Every Farmer Should Start

'IIo"a got money iu the bank."
Alt, you've heard it said aUnit soinclNHly now ami again iu
the course of your life not very frequently, it' a a pity, but still
once ami awhile a you eame along. It kind o' refreshed you
just to hear it said of the fellow; and the fellow who said it it
niade him feel good, too, or he wouldn't have mentioned it.
The sentence is pleasant to the ear aud full of pictures. It
suggests i miliary, economy, honest effort, self-discipline, perse
verance, good judgment the soil in which pretty picture of in
cipient thrift naturally spring up ami llourish.
The fellow isu't atlluent, oh, no; not yet. It is even possible
that he doesn't owu bin home not yet. Hut in the hard strife
of making a living and laying by something for a rainy day, he
is even with the game and a little ahead; "he's got money in the
bank." (ioing is easier for him now. He w ill owu his home
one of these days, if nothing happens, and he will have "money
iu the bank."
It is a good ambition, it is a prudent habit to have money in
the Itank. And uow that our farmers are enjoying a period of
good times, every one of them ought to make a strenuous effort
to lay by something for tho lean years that are sure to come
sooner or later. Aud anyhow every farmer who is handling a
few hundred or a few thousand dollars a year ought to have a
4 bank account, and for certain very gotsl and definite reasons:
3 1. If it's iu your pucket you sjeud it; it is so easy to spend it
and not know what has gone with it.
i 2. If it's iu the big chest, or under your pillow, or in the top
bureau drawer, it is still easy to spend it; the money is doing no
4 good iu its idleness there "buried iu a napkin"; and if you add
i more to it, the greater is your fear that lire will destroy or thieves
4 break through aud steal.
i .". If it's iu the bank, you know precisely what you have with
' out counting it nervously every day to see if it is all there. The
i figures iu the bank lxtok invite you to make them grow as your
i crops do. You are not likely to draw any of it out unless ueces
i sary; but if you do, there's your check stub, and luter on the
canceled check itself showing what it wtis nil about the what,
who, and when with the other fellow's name on tho check,
making it a good receipt. And then, as Mr. Brown so plainly
shows in his first article on page 3, your money is not idle but
! is going nlKtut in the community doing good; it is no longer
buried in a napkin.
I. If your money's in the bauk well, how is it w ith the man
we started out with the man of whom his neighlwrs say with
I pride, "He's got money in the bank"! Hasu't he a little more
I dignity uow as a citi.ent Isn't his advice sought a little ofteuerl
I And doesu't it have more weight than it used tot Aud dou't
i you cull on him sometimes to head a neighborhood movement
I that calls for some pulling. And when he's pulling dou't we all
pu.-li with more pluck and confidence!
j Oh, hurrah for the farmer who's got money iu tho bauk! Lit
i tie or much, it means that he is learning thrift, learuiug to save;
I means that he is getting training iu business habits; means that
i his little hoard is helping build up the community; means that
i he is biingiug certain new dignity to tho farming profession. H
!'e want to meet him oftener the famu-r who has got money iu m
the bank for there is where his money ought to be. M

Forewarning ol Death.
Tu Ih tdllur lhe Juarnal:
h Tbi is a reminiscence of the bat-
tie below Kingston; Joe Johnston,
Confederate commander, (Sen. Sco
tt field commanding the Yankees.
When the battle was forming, our
J company was called out to make a
m skirmish line and were deployed
" along the bank of a creek by twos.
S Comrade bikes and I were paired
m being the same height. Shortly after
JJ we were in position, an othcer came
H 1 dashing along and called out, Hoys,
Mt dig your rille pits or you will catch
K h-l in less than an hour!" W ell,
we fell to scratching like a Cce dog
bunting rats. It was pure sand.
I tell you we did scoop up the sand.
Sikes had a tin plate which he used
with a vengeance; I had nothing but
my hands. We scratched a hole 2
1 4 1 3 feet below the surface and sat
down in it heads and tails. We were
what the haberdasher calls slims
61 feet high. There was much
crowding of thigh bones, shoe sticks
and Xo. 12 feet in that hole. We
had only gotten our legs waried in
when the sulfurious hail began. The
line charged over us and attacked
the yankees just across tho creek.
The minnie balls cut through our
little bank so fast that it made a
stream of sand pour on my hat all
during the engagement. 1 thought
of the old time keeping sand glass
and felt sure that the sauds of my
life was going to ebb out, but they
didn't My comrad sat pale and mo
tionless. The din and roar grew less
and 1 heard tramping of our line
coming back and the battle ceased.
I'p to this time 1 had thought only
of self. I spoke to Sikes, but he was
fast asleep and I had to unwind our
legs to wake him up. The call passed
along that the yankees had gone,
come out noys. we crawieu out;
but my comrade had a dazed far away
look in his eyes that never left him
till the battle of Beiitonsville, which
occurred five or six weeks later,
whore he was killed. I'p to the be
ginning of this story Sikes had ex
hibited a spirit of recklessness which
was the thing with we soldier boys,
lie would curse big curse words, but
from the day of the sand stream and
his sleep in tho riflo pit he never
joked, cursed or quarreled but did
his duty without complaining, and
whenever opportunity offered he
would sit and read his Bible. He
stuck to it all the time that he would
be killed. The third day of the fight
at Iientonsville the company was out
on the skirmish line and poor Sikes
got it in the breast by one of lecutn-
sch's sharp shooters and died without
a struggle.
Those sharp shooters at Iientons
ville were like their general in a
way. You know ho comes down
through history as one of the great
est commanders of the civil war, but
history admits that ho was a little 1
careless with fire. Now 1 was ese
cially impressed with the reckless
or careless ways of theso fellows.
I ll tell you about it. I he third day
of the light at Iientonsville our regi
mental commissary had never re
ported and I was powerful hungry
for something to eat. Hack of the
breastworks a few steps calvarymen
had fed their horses on the ground.
I could see corn and sand mixed to
gether, so I went out there on my
all fours and was still on my knees
with my back to the enemy blowing
sand out of the handfuls of corn anil
tilling the grain into my hat. If
you were ever good hungry parched
orn tastes nice. Hut those careless
fellows away up some pine tree shot
at me two at a tune, one ball going
through my right pants pocket and
the other my left, and my back to
them. Now that's what 1 call care
lessness pure and simple. Suppose
they had aimed a littlo nearer, 1
would have been accused of coward
ice. I had corn enough for that
parching.
And when I think of those dark days
That passed so long ago,
How I escaped destructions ways.
1 answer, l don t Know.
While thousands of my comrades bones
Were bleached Uon the plain,
Many survived, though wrecked with
wounds,
To live through life in pain.
All I can say the ends not yet.
The problem grow with years;
My guardian, may He ne'er forget
Me, till the end appears.
But oh, what will that ending be.
How iflud I'd lie to know:
How I'm to spend eternity,
And where I am to go.

Cough Remedy. People everywhere
take pleasure in testifying to the good
qualities ot Ihanilierlam s t-otigii iem
edv. Mrs. Edward Phillips of Hare
lay, Md., riles: "I wish to tell you
that I can recommend Lhamlierlain s
Cough Remedy. My little gill, Call)
erine, who is two years old, lias been
taking this remedy whenever she had
a cold since she was two months old.
About a mouth ago 1 contracted I
dreadful cold myself, hut I took Cliam
berlain's Cough Krmedy and was soon
as well as ever." This remedy is (or
tale by English Drug Company.
Amid the lialiel of religious in
the Holy Laud, aud amid the fanati
cism and bigotry of the divers sects,
there is in Jerusalem a small colony
of rare Christians who are liviiv
"the simple life." It is a singula,
fact, but true, nevertheless, that
they have won the resert of the
people of all creeds and or all na
tiouulties, The lives and daily walk
of these people have contributed
more thau auy other agency in Tal
es! itie towards the removal of Mos
lem prejudice against Christianity.
A people w ho can do that have a
religion that is worty of study.
In 1S.S0, several iueiulersof Ful
lerton Avenue Presbyterian church,
Chicago, severed their connection
with that church and sought a new
lield in which to put iu practice an
ideal form of religion. At the
head of the movement was Horatio
Spafford, Ks4., a prominent Chi
cago lawyer. Mr. Spullord and
fourteen other members arrived in
Jerusalem in September, ISM.
This wasthe genesisof the "Amer
ican Colony" in the Holy City.
Thev live a few hundred yards
north of the Iiamascus gate, and
their name is no index us to who
they are or what they are. They
are by no means all Americans, jet
those of the colony who are of oth
er nations speak the English tongue
and are proud of the American
name. Iu the "American Colony"
are people from Canada, England,
Scotland, Germany, Norway, 8we
den, Denmark, India, ltoiimania
and Palestine. Those of Other na
tionalities were attracted to the
colony by itsieculiar social ami
religious life. 1 he "American Col
ony" is composed ol biioui one
hundred and twenty people men,
women and childreu. 1 hey reside
without the walls of Jerusalem and
live as one large family. They oc
cupy a large stone building, togeth
er with Borne smaller ones iu the
same viciuity, situated near the
"Tombs of the Kings." The main
building is a spacious one and con
structed in Oriental style, with in
terior court. Here they live as
real brothers and siNters and ap
pear to love cacn oiner just na
much as n they were all bioou re
lations. They own everything in
common, llicir religious me is
based on the fundamental prin
ciples of the early church, and they
believe in the direct application ot
our Savior's teachings to social and
business lite aud not merely to per
sor.nl conduct. In all that they
possess there is a community of in
terest, and every member of the
colony owns an undivided share of
the whole property. lhe lntaiit
owns aud shares equally with the
adult. The hardest worker accu
mulates no more than the helpless
balie. lint the accumulation of
property has no place in their sys
tern of social ethics. In fact, they
care absolutely nothing for proper
ty lieyoud the necessities and con
venience of life. Their form of
government is that of the family,
and not that of an organized
society.
They are supported by their own
taliors aud receive no assistance
from auy church, order or society.
They have various industries from
which they get a livelihood. Their
principal source of revenue is a
store near the Jaffa gate, in which
they keep for sale antique nit ides,
novelties made of olive wood, coral
mother of pearl, fancy trinkets,
Orieutal shawls, etc. They have a
photographic, department which
produces annually about 15,00b"
protographs of sacred places and
scenes and 2,000 lantern slides, all
of which are sold at the Colony
store to tourists or on orders from
American lirms. They prepare for
visitors many kinds of (lower cards,
post cards, card albums and an
endless variety of souvenirs of the
Holy Land. They have carpenter,
tin, shoe and blacksmith shops, do
tailoring, silver and gold electro
plating, literary and illustrating
work for newspapers, magazines
mid other publications on subjects
connected with Palestine, Some
are engaged iu teaching, dentistry,
wood and stone carving, livery
business, farming, dairy, bakery,
etc. The ladies of the Colony are
very industrious and do artistic
and fancy needlework, dress mak
ing, fruit canning, cake baking,
and also manufacture jams and pre
serves of tho many fruits of the
country. The women make, by
hand weaving looms and spinning

of ulsMil nine tenths of the sins of
this world. Any form of religious
or social lite, therefore, which
tends to crucify scllishmss aud the
love of this aorld, must U based
on some Chri:.ti.tu principles. For
the great Master, who never owned
a foot ot laud or any H'rsonal prop
eily, fully exposed the sin of greed
and the decitluluess of riches and
what hindrances they are to the
perfect Christ ian life.
lhe "American Colony is inter
esting chielly on account of its reli
gion. The adult nieinls-rs of the
Colony were at one time either
Methodists, liaptists, 1'reshyte
rians, Episcopalians, Lutherans,
Uiinkanls, (ireck Christians, or
Jews, lint all have given up their
former cri-ctls and have united iihui
the principles and practice of what
might ls termed Christian Social
ism. I lot they do not accept that
term as properly characterizing
their form of religion. In the
minds of many there is great preju
dice ngaiust every form of Socia'
umii, and these people do not care
to be so classed when they are not
Socialist as we understand the term.
The fundamental principle and the
one uniform rule of their social;
and religious life is, "Love (lod
with till thy heart, aud thy neigh
bor as thyself." That embraces
their entire creed and they have
no written rules or regulations, no
discipline, unchurch and nochiirch
government. They say that there
IB no need for law when there s uo
transgression. And their way of
life having removed the principal
temptation to sin, there is no need
of restraining rules. Their reli
gious belief is based upon the Sa
vior's answer to the lawyer's ques
tion, "What is the great command
ment in the law!" (Matt. xxii::i5
:t!l). In the very simplest way
possible they seek to fulfill in their
daily lives the two great command
ments, upon which they hang all
tho law and the prophets. In these
two commandments, they declare,
is e:aliodied the essence of Christi
anity. Every member of this little
colony is a most sincere and devout
Christian. If we may judge by
their daily life and godly conversa
tion, their religion is the genuine
article.
They conduct religious services
every morning iu a large drawinp
room in the main building, and on
the Sabbath services are ojien to
the public. They have no regular
preachers and there is 110 sermon,
but some meiiilM-r reads a chapter
in the lliblc and any one is privi
leged to make such observations as
he or she may deem proper. I lie
service is a free and informal inter
change of ideas, nnd the ladies join
freely 111 the service, lhe music,
both instrumental and vocal, is
very fine and makes the services
quite attractive. Tho natives often
itfend the Sunday meetings, lint
the colony does not attempt to do
missionary work, except iu so far
as their Christian lives may Infill
ence others to become Christians,
Thev do not thrust their views
11 110 n any one ami ask no one to em
brace their form of religion. They
consider example more powerful
than precept. In this they are en
tirely correct, for the religiously
beclouded mind of an Oriental can
never aimreriate tho beauty of
Christianity except iu the concrete
form.
The Colony gives special heed to
the second great commandment,
"liove thy neighbor as thyself.
They accept Christ's definition o(
a "neighbor," and, like the good
Samaritan, their brotliorly love
knows no such thing us racial or
religious prejudice. Their religion
manifests itself in deeds and not in
words only. The blind lieggars
who line the highways ntsmt Jer
salem, and the unfortunate lepers
who are civilly and socially dead
have alwas a friend in the Amer
ican Colony. The Arab, the Turk,
the Jew or tho fanatical Christian
never asks in vain a favor of these
people. The children of the poor
aif taught without money and with
out price and, like the poor widow,
they would give their last mite roi
the lurlheranee of Christianity 01
the betterment of their fellowmau
Their charity has been tested. Af
great personal sacrifice they fed,
clothed and housed for some time
a remnant of tho old tribe of Gad
who returned to Jerusalem, aud did
so until the tladitea could get along
themselves. At all times they are
ready to divide with and help the
poor and needy.
The peculiar life of the "Ameri
can Colony" is really Utopian,
l'lato never dreamed of anything
more ideal and beautiful. It is in
deed the simple life; it is a Chris
tian life; aud certainly it la the
happy life. Avarice, ambition and
envy are unknown in the colony.

an example. Their manner of liv
ing may look a little strange to an
American, but as soon as we enter
their home we soon learn that they
lie just like any other people.
When we see their principles and
Is'liel's in practice, our prejudices
soon entirely disappear. In their
home life and social intercourse
they are must agreeable, ami friend
ship is at once created when we

They are especially gracious ami

most equal to a liible encyclopae

The life of Abraham is the life of

many of the expressions of the peo

of tho very language of Christ is
the language of the people today,
and many of the identical expres
sions used by him are in daily use
uow. The customs, manners and
expressions of the natives confirm
the Scriptures. When the natives
meet each other, or meet one who
speaks their tongue, the usual sal
