; FOX HUNTER S EXPERIENCE. Professor John P. Draughon, of Ka&hFiile, Tena., who doubtless owns one ol the best packs of fox hounds la this country, while talking with eeveral io t-Ziimter friends recently, told t-ame practical Voltes on himself. "What inaks the stories more inter esting is that Professor Draushon 13 a man of considerable means, being president of thirty business colleges, the biggest chain of business colleges itt tiie world. One of tho stories related by Pro fessor Draushon is as follows: "Xashvilla people will rsineniber that some months ago there vf.s con ducted Sa thi3 city a very interest ing revisions revival th3 Torrey Alesnndcr meeting. One day, during the prosr??5 of the meeting, I was asked by Van pastor to take some of those conducting, tho raeeUns per sons from other citiec for an auto mobile ride, enabling them thus to see the places of- interest in and sbont Nashville. I readily consented ta the rido, and the necsssary arrangements were soon made. I was introduced to those who were, to accompany me, and even ia lbs ln troil actions my busln233 may have been remotely referred to, but names and other details of introductions are tten.ti.raes lost so far as future refer ence is concerned. Anyhow, ail being ready, we started briskly on our ex cursion. One of the gentlemen sat oa the front scat with me. Our con versation naturally dealt largely vlth automobiles, the gentleman ask ing me r.ll about the machines. I told him all I knew, perhaps a great deal more; at any rate, it is likely that he thought I knew as much about automobiles s he knew about relis'-oii- Pretty soon he asked me tow Icra- I had been driving cars. I toli feim I had been driving cars about two years. He then asked me what cars I liked best. I told him I was then driving both a steamer and & four-cylinder gasoline, and as be tween the two. I had no special pref erence. He asked me if I had ever bad any wrecks. I told hira that I Tiad had no serious trouble. Grow ing a little nervous, I sought to change the subject. I began to fear that my companions would become somewhat apprehensive, and this cerTed to recall to me my first ex perience as an automobile driver. "My first car was a second-hand one, purchased from our local tele phone company. The company kindly Tolsssteered to furnish a man who con1& and would show me all the Intricacies of the car it internal anatomy, its steering apparatus, etc. and liow to manipulate it. ' I in vited Mr. CalHouette, the gentleman who was to teacn me on Monday, to ;g out with me on Sunday morning -iwwwlng. of coarse, that I could not learn to drive a car on Sunday and I also invited some of my friends to accompany us on this ride. We made a few trips up and down the Granny White Pike, and the run ning of the car seemed simple enough to me; in fact, it seemed to me to be as easy as the proverbial Jailing off a log The simplicity and Base -with which it was run was so impressed upon me that I finally jgfaiA to Mr. Callionette: 'That looks -easy to me; iet me try iu e prompt er changed seats with me, and I took "JioLd .of tie steering wheel. We were, --then d3b downhill just beyond my koixe. As we began to ascend the -next little 'rise, Mr. Calliouette said: ,fjpen your throttle. If you don't, you'll choke your engine down.' I palled the throttle wide open, and immediately there was a very no ticeable acceleration in our speed. J -"We began .going down the pike at a pretty good clip, when, just as W3 got in front of the Bible school, the ,car tipped over a ditch, into a wire fence, and rolled oyer against a tele phone pole. Kow, I am not positive as t -which of two things that car wanted to do, enter the Bible school and enroll In a Sunday-school class or, from sheer force of habit, climb a telephone pole. Whichever it was, ceriaiat it is that the car was incapaci tated for further service until it had been detained for some time in an actonvobile hospital. All the passen gers escaped personal injury. One, however, needed a new derby hat. ".About the time we succeeded In getting from under the ar, Mr. J. C. Syxnnoes and Mr. John F. Davie came up at a ery rapid rate, having seen from a distance that we were in trouble. One of these gentlemen in terrogated me thus: 'DraHglion, what in the world are you doing?' I re plied: 'Don't get excited. It looks as if yon could see what I am doing; but if jou want to know what I have been trying to do, that's a different story. I've besn trying this car to Bee if It could jump ditches and fencea. while the chase is on, but I find it an inglorious failure in these particulars, for on the trial it turned over with us and tried to climb a telephone pole. It might, however, Tbe good for coon hunting or for gathering persimmons.' "But back to my story. At the tlnie the Inquisitive gentleman of the evangelistic party was plying me with 4estioms regarding my experience in cJrifing cars, the remembrance of this narrow escape, of course, made m a little nervous, and I frequently tried to change the topic, even sbift- -.--,- u viuie ir two to the subject of re ligion; but the conversation would invariably revert to the original topic automobiles. Again I gave, in an swer to questions, every bit of infor mation I possessed regarding auto mobiles in general, and particularly tho car in which we were riding. But he plied me once more. 'How much,' said he, "do they pay you fel lows down hero for driving cars?' I replied: 'The size of the salary de pends very largely on the amount of experience a man has had, tho caution he exercises, and the skill he exhibits as a driver.' "Aa I imparted this last bit of in formation to my questioner we were rapidly nearing the end of our jour ney. The skyscrapers and steeples, which but a few moments ago had seemed so far away, now looked di rectly down on us as we threaded our way through the tortuous thorough fares of our city, and in a little while our evangelistic party were in the midst of the afternoon services in the great Auditorium, safe and sound in body r.nd unterrlfiedly fighting the hosts of sin. I am sure that if ever they come this way again and wish to take a safe automobile ride, they will call at the garage for the driver who wears plain, ordinary spectacles." BREAKING IN A RHINOCEROS. There is an old story about a man vho had to have his arm amputated, and began by cutting off his fingers and then his hand, in order to get used to it before undertaking the larger job. It does not sound histori cally accurate, and may have grown up from a talo narrated by Richard Dell about a rhinoceros which was "broken in" to having his horn sawed off. This animal, which lived in the London Zoo, was troubled by its horn, which grew down in front of its mouth, so that only with difficulty could it eat or drink. To save its life the keeper decided on amputation. The horn of the rhinoceros is not a horn at all, but an accumulation of hair and skin which has hardened and become cemented together by some gummy substances. The owner of this one had a very touchy temper and was not easily approached. Its keeper, however, decided to try what he could do. For some days It required all hl3 skill to persuade the beast to come to the front of the cage and put its born through. Then for some days he stroked the horn much to the animal's disgust at first, although later it seemed to like it. When it found he meant no harm it let him take the horn in his left hand, and then with the right imitate the mo tion of a saw across it. When this had been done some time, and the rhinoceros no longer minded it, a piece of wood was held in the right hand, and at last, when ever this no longer worried the ani mal, a real saw was brought in and the horn cut off without the slight est remonstrance from the owner of it. Youth's Companion. STRANGE SEA TALE. A strange tale of the sea was given by the captain of the Eritish steamer Kilburn, which arrived at Yokohama on October 4. When the ship, laden with coal, was passing down the Red Sea on her way to Japan, she went ashore on the Arabian coast, where she was ransacked by about 300 Arabian pirates. They made away with the personal belongings of the crew, the ship's furniture, even some of the portholes, riggings, tackles everything that was movable after which they took the crew captive, ex cept the captain, of whom they de manded a heavy ransom. The eap tain, to save his head, parted with about $500. Later a few of the Brit ish sailors escaped from the pirates and applied for protection to the Turkish government, which eventual ly conducted them to a place of safe ty. Subsequently the Turkish gov ernment dispatched a warship to the scene of the wreck, but the pirates had long since deserted the place. FIGHT WITH LUNATIC. Fighting a supposed lunatic for an hour and eventually wresting a knife from his grasp was the. thrilling ex perience of Mae O'Connor, the twenty-year-old operator for the Monroe County (Iowa) Telephone Company. Miss O'Connor was alone when a stranger entered and asked to talk with some one in Pella. Pella answered that no such per son lived there, whereupon the stran ger broke into a torrent of oaths. Miss O'Connor ordered the man away, and then he grabbed her around the waist and drew a knife. The girl fought with superhuman strength, finally secured the knife and the man vanished in the dark ness. When help arrived Miss O'Connor lay in a dead faint, with her hands bleeding from the knife wound3 re ceived in the struggle. MADE A FLYING RESCUE. J. G. Holloway, a fireman on the Louisville and Nashville Railror.1, running on a freight train between Evansville, Ind., and Nashville, Tenn., made a heroic rescue of a three-year-old girl. As his train turned a curve near Sebree, Ky., the child mas noticed on the traak playing with her doll. She was only a few yards in front of the engine. The engineer quickly re versed the brakes and the fireman crawled out upon the cowcatcher, and, holding on with one hand. picked up the child with the other The child was unhurt. His name will be presented for a Carnegie rarial. New York World, THE PULPIT. A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY REV. DR. H. P. LYMAN-WH EATON. Subject: Christ's Views on Marriage. Ridgefield, N. J. In St. James Church here Sunday the rector, the Rev. Dr. H. P. Lyrnan-Wheaton, preached on "Christ's Views on Mar riage and Social Subjects." The text was from Mark 12:25: "For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage." Among otiror things he said: There is one distinct doctrine which the manner of Christ's ministry has laid firmly down, that there is. In the descent of persons into sin, no depth so low that they may not be rescued from it, and that t.hero scarce ly ever is a case in which the image of God in a man is too- much blotted and marred to be made bright again. Yet look how this, our Lord's way, of dealing with sinners was misunder stood. His compassion of them was spoken of as indicating a light esti mate of the nature of sin. They mur mured at Him because He had gone to be,gue3t with a man who was a sin ner and said, "This man receiveth sinners and eateth with them." We may indeed safely say that not one of these who sat at table with Him would leave it without feeling that they ought to lead a better life, and with a quiet resolve to do so. They who had a bitter spirit against Him which would not see anything but evil in all He did, called Him a gluttonous man and a wine-blbber; yet they said of John tho Baptist, who "came neither eating nor drinking," that he had a devil. If these people had looked into their own hearta they would have found that it was nslther the eating, drinking nor fasting that brought forth their hard words and names, but an accusing conscience stirred from its sleep. John the Eap tist's shrill cry, "Repent," was truly in seasonfyet his manner of life could not be taken as 'a pattern by those who had already formed social ties and habits. However much a man might be willing and wish to live in the retirement of the wilderness upon wild food, he would hear the voice of wife and children crying be hind him in a form which would plainly tell him he must be religious and show his religion in another way. So here the example of our Lord s sociability stepped in to teach that His trne religion waB not against fam ily relationships and duties, but that it might be an element In them giving them warmth and adding to their joys. It was, no doubt, to give an Im- J presslon of this kind that at the be ginning of His public ministry He was present at a marriage ceremony. He regarded human nature in all its de- i - t . T TTl 1 1 partments ana snowea ms upiruuai truth was applicable to all and a goodly leaven in the affections botn of the mind and heart. No religion could widely prevail which did not recognize the social nature and in stincts of man. Why should they not be recognized, since God had given them, and though it is in their irregu larities and extravagance that we see chiefly traces of the great original fall of man, the office of religion is not to crush the life out of the root but to put new life Into it. The great est of all the sins proceeding out or social life had, by the Jewish law, placed upon it the penalty of doath; yet it is evident our Lord thought there might be a better mode of deal ing with it. To His perfectly, pure mind the sin of adultery must have appeared horrible, yet He sought to protect the woman who was taken in it from stoning, placing at the same time a stigma upon her offense, "Go and sin no more." We may see from our Lord's words on the subject of divorce how sacred and lasting He held the tieB of mar riage to be. It was said, He thought, there should never have been need of such a proceeding as divorce, and it was the hardness of men's hearts that forced upon men the promulga tion of the law. It was entirely out of line of the providence of God, who, in the beginning, made them male and female, and joined them together, never to be put asunder. Even the existence of such a power as divorce takes away from the dignity of mar riage, and so our Lord placed a mark upon her or him who availed herself or himself of it, "Whoso marrieth her that is put away committeth adul tery." When marriage was what it ought to be, and what it was intended to be by the Creator, a union and perfect harmony of the highest affec tions of our nature, it was the most sacred of all institutions upon earth. In little children, the fruits of such high and honorable affections, there was the likeness of the kingdom of God. "Suffer little children to come unto Me, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven." And that happy home of brotherly and sisterly love at Bethany was a picture of delight, which it soothed Him to look at, and which, afterward, when it appeared under a cloud, grieved Him to the quick. All these expressions of our Lord's sympathy with the social feelings of human nature should be distinctly kept in view when we examine other words of His which seem on the sur face to be in opposition to them. For example, such sayings as this: "He that hath forsaken wife or children for My name's sake shall recaive an hundred-fold and shall inherit ever lasting life." For the kingdom of Heaven's sake, He said, some have never formed these ties of wife and children, and they shall receive in tho rich harvest of Heavenly peace and joy in their conscience an ample com pensation. Truly we know our Lord would have said to one who lad al ready formed the domestic ties of wife and children. Show your love to Me by being a good husband and father. Blend your social and relig ious feelings together, so that the one wUl elevate the other. It was the exaggeration of social ties and duties beyond their proper limit which Christ spoke so severely against. All the best ingredients of our social af fections, as we go on in Christian life, pass gradually out of our mortal into our immortal nature, and as the spirit passes out of the body It leaves be hind it every feeling of human na ture, but these of the highest and noblest order. HIE SUNDAY SCHOOL. NTERNATIOXATj LESSON COM. MENTS VOR MARCH S. Subject: Jesus the Bread of Life, John 6:22-40 Golden Text, John 6:33 Commit Versc3 32, 33 Commentary. TIME. April, A. D. 28. PLACE. Capernaum. EXPOSITION. I. Seeking the Food That Perisheth. 22-34. The multitude came "seeking Jesus." rhat sounds well, but It was a wrong sort of seeking and did not bring sal vation. It was not really Jesus Him self that they were seeking, but the loaves and fishes. There is much of that sort of seeking still. It was not the "sign" as indicating His divine jharacter that drew them, but simply the wonder as indicating that there would be a constant supply of bread. They did not see "in the bread the sign," but only "in the sign of the bread." Their eyes and desire were entirely fixed on "the food which per isheth." There Is "food which abtd 3th unto eternal life," and the man who seeks only "the food which per isheth" when he can have "food which abideth unto eternal life" is a fool. It is the Son of man who gives this mere precious food. It is a gift and :annot be earned (cf. Ro. 6:23; Eph. 2:8). Still we are to "work" for it How to work for it v. 29 tells. The loaves miraculously multiplied were i sign of the true bread. The result sf eating the meat which abideth is that one lives forever (vs. 51, 58). The proof that the Son of man gives 'he food which abideth unto eternal life is that the Father, even God, had sealed Him (cf. Acts 2:22; Jno. 1; 33, 34; 5:3t 37; 10:37, 3S; Matt. 3:17). There is just one work that God requires as the condition of re :eiving this bread, viz.: belief on Him tvhom He hath sent (cf. Jno. 3:16-18, 30; Jno. 16:31; Eph. 2:8). "This is :he work of God." All other things jount for nothing If this is lacking. This work does not merit the true bread, but simply accepts it. Jesus' iearers demanded a sign as a condi :ion of believing on Him. The unrea sonableness of this demand is appar int when one remembers the recent miracle of the loaves and fishes (vs. 10-14). The demands of modern skeptics are just as unreasonable. He Himself was the greatest of all signs (v. 36). They sought to enforce their lemand by a reference to Moses and :he manna. But Jesus showed them that the manna was but a type of Himself, "the (true) bread of God." rhe two characteristics of this bread ire (1) it "cometh down out of heav sn;" (2) it "giveth life unto the fvorld." Jesus' hearers did not un lerstand what He meant, so they ex ilaimed, "evermore give us this Dread." II. Offering the Bread of Life, 35 iO. Jesus explained to them that He Himself was the true bread of God of which He spoke. "I am the bread of .ife," were His simple but wonderful words. As the bread of life He would satisfy every hunger of their hearts ind every thirst as well. "Hunger" nay stand for the deep longing for .hat which ministers strength; 'thirst,", the more Intense desire for hat which satisfies spiritual craving. Then we see that Jesus ministers nev er falling strength to all who come to Him and never failing peace to all who believe on Him. There is a di? terent shade of meaning in "coming to Him" and "believing on Him." "Coming to Him" is seeking help and blessing from Him; "believing on Him" is the absolute abandonment of self to Him. They had seen this bread (v. 36) right before their eyes, out never appreciated what it was be cause so taken up with the material and unreal. And men are so taken up with the material- and unreal to day that they neither appreciate nor believe In this true bread. But while the mass of men would not come to Jesus some would, "all that which the Father giveth Me." That which the Father hath given Includes "every one that had heard from the Father and bath iearned" (y. 45). Any one can prove that he belongs to that elect and blessed company that the Father hath given to Jesus by just coming to Him. And if any one does'come he will be received. Jesu3 says in the most positive way, "I will in no wl3e cast him out." If any one thinks himself too great a sinner, or not to belong to the elect, or to have sinned away the day of grace, just let him come and he has the word of Christ for it that He will receive Him. It is a wonderful reason Jesus gives for not casting him out, "for I came down from heaven not to do Mine own will, but the will of Him who sent Me" (v. 38). Then follows a statement of the Father's gracious will. It is so dif ferent from the idea many have of God's will. This willis "of all that which He hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day." Not one then that really comes to Jesus, and thus proves he belongs to "that which the Father hath given" Jesus can ever be lost (cf. Jno. 10:28, 29; 17:12, R. V.; Col. 3:3, 4; 1 Pet. 1:3; Jude 1; 2 Ti. 1:12). It is furthermore the will of God that everyone (1) "that behold eth the Son" (R. V.), and (2) "be lieveth on Him" "should have eternal life." Such is the Father's will and Jesus adds, "I will raise him up at the last day." LEADING QUESTIONS. In this lesson what different things do we see Jesus to ba? What ciloes He give? What does He satisfy? What is His relation to the Father? What is God the Father's will? What must we da t have every longing satisfied? How many will Jesus receive and give eter nal life? What is the best lesson ol the paasa?et TKAVBL. IN MEXICO.

" EPWORTH LEAGUE LESSONS C'JNDAY, MARCH C. Marcy for the Merciful (Luke 11. 1 4; Luke 17. 1-10; Poa. 23.) The one clause in the Lord's Pray er on which Jesus himself laid spec ial stress is the only one in which we nan fiv thp measure of the answer. It all depends on the one who prays, . . i , tut- J fAKnliTonAda wnemer mis psiu.iuu iui mignvucaij is a hypocrite's presumption or a faithful man's humble audacity. There are times when to say, "Forgive me as I forgive those who are indebted to me," would be to pray for our own condemnation; but if we are willing to meet the condition of the prayer for mercy, we can attain by that prayer to the highest reach of favor with God. He will forgive us as freely as we forgive others. Jesus Is always mindful of the lit tle ones. He would tell us that a child has large Influence over ns be cause H has larre claims upon us. Tt has special need of love and gen tleness. So, to cause a child to "tumble, to lead it into sin, is a spec ially mean and despicable thing. Then in this same passage Jesus makes the duty of foriveness perpetual. , It is a virtue which must be like a foun tain m our lives, upsprlnglng In suf ficient measure ta supply every need; -lot a cistern, which can be exhausted bv repeated drafts upon its Btores. Ve need to remember always that in our care for the helpless and the needy, and In our pity and mercy to ward the erring, we can never ex ned our duty. You cannot be too kind to a child nor too helpful. You cannot forgive a penitent effender too often. The psalmist is praying for mercy Pt the same time that he declares his integrity. He has done the best he coiild. so far as he knows. He has withstood evil, he has kept out of the company of evil men, he has been careful at every point lest his life rhould be unworthy of a servant ot God. and yet he must needs ask at the end of all his faithfulness for the "vin- merv. How much that is true In all our life! People who are near est perfection. In the thought of those ont then, are the ones who have the strongest sense of need; they are rte least inclined to make parade of Mr roodnew or to demand special recosmition of it. , ' POKE BONNETS TO COME. There is more than a rumor in Paris that the old-fashioned poke bon net of huge dimensions is about to reappear, and will be looked upon with favor this winter. Whether or not the side ringlets of old renown will be revived again to meet the re quirements of this particular style ot headgear remains to be seen; but there Is no denying the fact that, pro vided it Is fairly (reinstated once more the whole style of dress will have to be altered to bring it into focus with early Victorian ideas. As fas as can be judged already, the 1907 poke bon net will be carried out in fine silky beaver or in drawn taffetas or satin, the latter providing at present the jiost popular material for headgear la general. Like all the newest forms of millinery, the briis will be lined with a different color or with glist ening white. Indianapolis News.

Prof Mumford, ol the Illinois VnV vorty and Agricultural College, spittles of the increasing popular method of public sales as follows: "1. It makes it possibe to Bell in a few hour3 stock that it would take days to sell by any other means. It Is a fact that a breeder will often' spend as much time trying to sell one bull to some man as it would take to sell forty to sixty cattle in a sale. If the time of the breeder is worth anything, and it certainly Bhould be, this is a big Item. "2. The public sale undoubtedly Is a potent Influence in interesting the geneial public in pedigreed live stock. Many men buy at public auc tion improved stock which they would never have purchased at private sale, Naturally some buy who (ought ttV to, and this is of course unfouf V I believe in general, however, . '" the sale Is an inspiring influence and makes for better live stock on our farms. It is an institution that has come to stay, and although it has its bad features they are undoubtedly outweighed by good ones." Pert Paragraphs.
