Princeton, Nov. 2. J. D. P. The Most Widely Circulated Book. The publication of nearly 19,000, 000 copies of the lllble each year and the steady increase of the circulation of this holy book in the United States are encouraging signs of the times. These facts we gather from the re port of the American lllble Society for 1909. This society, of which Mr. Daniel C. Oilman, of this city, was president at the time of his death, has in Its lists llibles in no less than 83 languages and dialects. It is sued during the last year 2,153,028 volumes. Its agents are in all lands. 1 has Its colporteurs going from house to house, carrying the Word of Life among the snows of the Arctic regions and on the burning sands of the tropics. Its receipts during the year were $007,132.35 and its disburse ments about the same. It urgently needs funds for its great work. In explaining Its pressure for money the report says: "Take, for instance, the case of the vast empire of China, with a population amounting to one fourth of the whole globe. Opportu nities for Bible distribution have in creased to a degree never before known. Multitudes of people are clamoring for tho printed Gospel." Then, too, Mrs. Kussell Sage offered a gift of $500,000 In endowment, pro vided a like sum should be collected by the end of the year 1908. The time limit was extended to Decem ber 31, 1909. I'p to March 31 of this year $140,803 of tho half million had been pledged, and all friends of the society are urged to help to raise the remainder by the end of the year. The work of the three great Bible societies?American, British and Scot tish?is not merely a religious work. It is a work of civilization. For the civilization of the world has progress ed almost along with the spread of the Bible. Its pages give to men their only assurance of "the resur rection of the dead and the life of the world to come." "To him, there fore, who sees in reliance on God the stay of human "fe," says a recent writer, "the Bible will be the book of the human race." "The Bible," said Charles. Klngsley, "contains no mere human science, no mere secular knowledge, but it is the textbook in which is contained the highest of all Bdences?the knowl edge of God. It contains ? ternal life for every humble, faithful student of its sacred pages." A glory gilds the sacred page. Majestic like the sun. It gives a light to every age? It yives. but borrows none. ?Baltimore Sun. Lotteries. An Illinois correspondent writes: "About six mouths ago a hardware ririu in our town offered to give a ?stove by lot 'o one of its customers. The stove was worth fl/ty-six dollars; aud if the person who was so fortu nate as to get it did not want it, the hardware firm would give tweuty-flve dollars for It. For six months lot tery tickets were issued to purchas ers of gods. At the end of that time a "drawing" was held to determine who would have the stove. Did the person who got this stove pay for It? If so, how much? Did the deal ers who let this stove go receive pay (fifty-Bix dollars* from the man who got the stove? Are transactions of this sort objectionable?" Objectionable? Most certainly. Why, this Is simply a lottery, and the feu eral law would not permit it to be advertised through the mail. This stove dealer has simply been appealing to the greed of the people of the neighborhood, who have the common human infirmity of wanting to get something for nothing. Selling lottery tickets for a period of six months for a stove worth fifty-six dollars, and giving twenty-five dol lars for the .stove if the one who draws the lucky number does not want it, is simply a way of appeal ing to one of the greatest weaknesses of human nature. The dealer no doubt received large pay for tills stove by Inducing peo ple to buy goods they really did not need In the hope of getting some thing for nothing. In other words, he used Just the same bait as the man who sells a hole in the ground out in the Rocky Mountains, or oil wells, or anything else along that line. The bargain itch, which affects more or less most people, and more particularly women, Is bad enough; but this greed eczema, this outbreak of covetousness, or the desire to get something for nothing, is worse. It is the same itch for unearned filthy lucre that leads otherwise sensible farmers to take a flier on the board of trade, or to buy lots in a city which they have never seen and which often turns out to have no ex istence. A large number of people live by pandering to this fundamen tal weakness of human nature, the desire to get something for nothing. Remember that gambling for that is Its real name, Is a vice of savages, and our freedom from this gambling spirit Is the measure of our advance over savage conditions.?Wallaces' Farmer. All Games Canceled. West Point, N. Y., Oct. 31.?Be cause of the death of Eugene A. Byrne, of Buffalo, N. Y., no more football will be played by the West Point eleven tills year. This state ment was made by Colonel Hugh L. Scott, superintendent of the United States Military Academy, late to night, after a consultation with the athletic authorities of the academy on 'he death of young Byrne, who expired this morning as a result of injuries sustained in the Harvard game yesterday. Two Die of Pellagra. Norfolk, Va., Oct. 31.?Norfolk has not been granted a full Immunity from pellagra. One man in this city died from the disease, while Dr. B. M. Baker, jail physician, reports two other cases. One of these pa tients died in the Petersburg Insane Asylum and the third case, which is more recent, is that of a man on the Eastern shore of Virginia. Dr. Baker has declined to tell the names of the victims of the disease. Matt Ilenson, the negro who claims to have stood with Peary at the North Pole, struck a "frost" iu Philadelphia Saturday, lie seems to be Peary's spokes man. At the afternoon appoint ment 79 persons were present to hear him tell about his trip over the iee and the snow to the apex of ttie earta; at night 105 were present. Matt's race does not care to hear about the cold re gions. If he had told them about the hot time down Equator way, interspersed here and their with stories of "fat possum, gravy and taters," and now and then a rasher of "watah-millyun" they would have heard him gladly. Hut about the cold and the ice and the snow, never. hey are the thinps that Sambo takes no interest in. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought WE WANT TO FIGURE WITH you on n Wilson Heater.COTTER-STE VENS CO. Temperance in the Home. We have from Missouri one letter protesting against all Home and Karm has been saving about tem perance, and declaring (or every man's right to rat or drink as he pleases: "I stand for personal liber ty," declares our one angry subscrib er. So do we stand for personal liber ty; for the liberty of other persons as well as our own, and justice seems to us a better name. No man has a right to pamper his own base appetite, and after years of indulgence die and leave a family Tor his neighbors to take care of. Drink is the great curse of the hour. It fills the graveyard prema turely and that fills the poorhouse and the Jail. Drink makes of many homes a hell. When the drunkard enters a home all Joy leaves It. Wife and children see all hope of future suc cess disappear. Disgrace threatens the home. Self-denial deepens that the drink bill may be paid. The clothes grow thin and the meals poor [ that whisky may be had for one per son. That person loses all his charm for his wife, loses the respect of his children; loses his power and will to work and so stagg-rs along the downward slope to death?unwept and unhonored even by those near to him. \T? 1 il i a-*u man uas any rigm uius 10 sat' riflce women and children to his own base passion; such a claim is a mockery of liberty or freedom. Let us teach the young about the mother's knee the evil of strong drink as portrayed in the Bible and in every book of science or philoso phy which they would care to read. Teach the ill-effects of alcohol on the tissues of the body, the brain cells, on the digestive functions. Point to the bleared eyes and the trembling hand and the bloated countenance as the awful example nature offors to es tablish the ill-effect of strong drink. "Oh, God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains." Prohibition is the law of the State that says "Thou shalt not." To make the edict of the State effective the coming generation of boys and girls must be taught around the mother's knee that wine in ajl its forms, wine is the name of all alcoholic drinks, that wine "at last biteth like a ser pent and stingeth like an adder." That is the lesson Home and Farm would enforce as the beginning of wisdom and as essential to health, to hope, to happiness. If there be those who believe that such lessons are an Invasion of personal liberty he should not read this paper.?Home and Farm. FOR STOMACH AGONY Ask Hood Bros.
