Whether he employs an obnoxious in sect rather theo B sword, as Dray ton did, or whether he rides an S.

Me roilc it mi the line, its long gray ears waggling evenly and rest fully, ami ennie to a halt in front of the set ot quarter! where Drayton and lie roomed. Drayton was sittinp on the porch, his feet on the railing Iiis chair tipped back, and the visor of his eap pulled down on his nose. TTi pushed the cap to the bach of his head as Hartlett caine (low If up the atcps. "I wish yon would get a horse," h complained. "If "ii could just real ize the BgUra you cut on that old SB phant!" "That 8 a mule," corrected r.artlett his hihi around ;i pillar and letting Iiis heels dangle, as he perched on tin railing. "It's also a very nice muh it is no longer a shave-tail, but has reached years of discretion. The moment man or animal does that, his appreciative country straightway has him Inspected and condemned, Mors. may do for some, hut not for one who lias tin- duties of )Mist ipia rt erinastet to perform.

"Ihoiight you looked rather triste I'm all sympat hj . Oo on." Hartlett released his hold upon the Biliar and folded his arm on his breast In an attitude combining stern endurance and preearioua balance "The CoUlnaea are going to route th Lawrences out." MOW, the Collinses were the family of Cant, Collina wife, mother-in-law in both sides, and three small ehfl dren. They had thai morning arrived in the post. Collina was in command of troop l. which had been moved on BO me weeks betöre. If bC had been Well-disposed his entry should not have put the whole gaiTiaOn, below 1 rank, in the throes of fear of ii progressive "turning-oat." for there were empty quart era Into which he n ht have moved exactly aa well aa not, and no on hav.- been any tat worse off. "But Collina won't ate it that way," Hartlett went on. "lie ranks Law rence, and his wife ranks him. you et : and n a the wile and t he tint lier-ln-law who are going to huve the Lawrences' set or luist." 'Inrow them a few bucket a of point ami calcimine, by way of nun,' Drayton ventured to auggeat. I 'd." said I'.arllctt, hrietly. "Of 7' retl them half the ipiartei master's department, and a carpenter, and a blacksmith, and a farrier, too, if thev I A ... . . . . ii.i i J i 1 1 1 1 io need Olli'.

Drayton opined, with a little of the placidity, nevertheless, with which we all bear one another's burdens, that it waa a very great and very profine shame. "There's that poor little woman with those two little bits of kids, iiiul just moved into those quarters, and pot them all Axed op so prettily, ami her garden started, too. Then, those Collinses! They're a mean lot of cattle, anyway." He made gesture of dlagual, which turned the visor nround over his left tar, and WW silent for a minute through sheer wrath. "I told Mrs. Lawrence they would be serpents-on-the woon-cut tersbearth " 8erpenta, now?" Baked Hartlett; thev were cattle before; and SOU ealh, that" Im pointed over hla houlder "an elephant, whereas, in point Of fact, its n mule." 1 told her," continued Drnvton, Unmoved, "that it wouldn't pav.

All would have been well M Mis. tm I min hadn't become tender-hearted in a most unnecessary 'my, and hadn't chosen to disregard Buy advice." He assumed the look of '""I'' 7 falftlled.

Asked me. toe; but the kids were raising Cain, and the abode of pM.-ewas traaaforawd, so i lit out." "Well.

I'm gs Ing to have sonic of thein rinse If," he Slid. Hartlett lnl not understand Drayton undertook to explain. and W'll see here." lb. ,,,U bis f..t down from 1 he rail, in his BSrneetnei and atraigbteacd his eap. "it s like this. JfoU ami I have pot one room each in this house, haven't we. same as the most of the other bachelors?" Such was the ease. "And we're entitled to two rooms eaeh, aren't we'.'" Hartlett agreed that they were. "And we vt heen keepinp these ones be cause We've been too l.iv and too good-natured to nah for more, haven't we? Well, we won't be hiy and good aatured any more. If th.. Collinaea BJIOV ililn the Lawrences' set, I'll vacate my room turn it over to yon and I'll apply lor the upstairs tloor of the Lawrence house. Oh! I'lh entitled to it, all right," he chuckled. "I know inv riphts as a citizen of these I'nitcil Btatea and as a first lieutenant ..f ea.-.Iiy. The ( ollinses, the whole sweet seven of 'an, may have the lower tloor. It's all they can Claim under the law. That's four rooms. Including the kitchen. I dare say they won't mind living like that any way. 't hey're pips." "Piga, too?" asked Hartlett Drayton went on unfolding his plan. "Once i have that top tloor. you watch the interest in life I'll provide for them, I'll make their dayfl pleasant ami their nighti particularly their nights beautiful. I'll haveeuppers up there every evening, and do B01 and dames until reveille, if I have to hypothecate t pay my 'onimisaary bill, and if my health breaks down. JbU Watch 1" He stood up and began t' button his bloa-e. "So you nie warned. If the (llinsea move in. such is my devotion to them that I'll move in. too. Ami I'll put in my formal application for those two looms. No other two in the po t will suit, cither, you nnder-tand." And it all came about exactly as he had -:iid. There was a heirira of Law rences and an inirress ,,f (ollinses, and great was the bitters' wrath when they found Drayton taking posses sion ol the miner floor. Tin v uro- - T tested to everybody in general, ami to tin- commandant and the quartermaster in particular. Am th- com mandant and the quartermaater said they were sorry, but that Drayton was certainly within his rieht-. He had applied for the quarters in virtue f tin- peneral turnlng-OUt that D troop was eausinp m the post, ami he was entitled to occupy them. There was nothiii'' more o be Baid. I rant pretend I'm sorry fop them. exactly," Mrs. La wren -onfided to Drayton, when he advised her not to try to settle in her new quarters verv elaborately; "I'm only human, after all. and Illy house did look so sweet. md my gardes, Bui I'm sorry for you. I think those children are the v ery imps of evil." Drayton nodded. "There arc oth ers, to- said If was enigmatical, but Mrs. Law rence looked doubtful, and ready to be hurt. "YOU don't mean mine?" she sa Id. "Xo. my dear lady." Bart lett reas sured her, "he doesn't mean ours lie thinks yours arc all that tender infancy should he. I don't know what he does mean, however. And prob ably be doesn't know himself " "Don't l?" queried Drayton enigmatienl still. "Don't I hist ?" Perhaps." said Bart lett, "you mean Nmmy O'Brien. I saw vou hobnob bing with him to-dav. Would it be Timm v now?" Drayton would not commit himself. But it wns Jimmy ami none other. nevertheleae. Drayton had come upon him when be was nlnvinp duek-on--roea all by himself, near the sutlers store. The duck was a beer bottle, and Jimmy SSSJ Ditching stones nt it. with indifferent aim. Tin- father of Jimmy was first sergeant of Drayton's troop, nnd so the lieutenant felt they had enough in common to warrant a conversation. It begun by n sttppestion as to a bet ter way to throw a stone, and it end ed with n bargain struck. "Then." said Drayton, "if T nromla to narv you two hits fnr every centipede, four bits for every tarantula, ten cents for every liznrrt. a nickel for every toad, nnd a eent for every bfat snider, von will entch nil you can and bottle them for me?" Jimmy nodded, solemnly. "And yon won't say anvthing about it to anyone?" A quarter was pressed into a chapped and grimy hand. Mt. said Jimmy, the instinct of a political race to the fore. There was another race instinct strong in Jimmy, loo, It was that of the con tractor. I'he very next morning, before guard-nsooatiaffi hu ohmbered tip the stairway to Drayton's rooms. Dray ton was only just dressing. He has kept late hours. Bart lett had helped him. and until two o'clock thev had alternated naming heavily to and fro with dropping weighty bod tea on the tloor. The ( ollinses were kent nwnke. Its a attention Of endurance, be cause we are two," said Drayton: "but 1 expect we can hold out." lie Inspected Jimmy's first catch. There waa m ceutiuede, two lizards

and three touds. Jimmy's pock eta bulged with bottles. There were also five larpe and unpleasant spiders. "to. od boy," said limy ton. und paid as per schedule. Mrs ollins and the mo' berda law's nerves were not calmed, any way, by the Wakeful nicht. It was the harder for them when thev came upon three larpe toads in their rooms that day. Tu have a toad hop out at UU from I dark corner is not nice. D is still h ss to step on one and crush it. It pives a peculiar sensation. Mrs. Collins found it so. There waa a Hserd In the milk bottle, and another on the back of a chair, from where it climbed info a mot her-in law's hair. Bip spiders infested the plaee. Toward noon Dravton came downstairs carrying on the and of pin, ami examining it critically, a cent! pede, "Large, isn't it?" be asked, with some pride; "I killed it myself at the top of the stairs. They always come in families nf three. l i e other two will be alOng pretty soon. I suppose."

The mot her in-law shuddered. "YoU and Mr. Bartlett made a great deal of noise last Bight, Mr. Draxton." ahS reproached, Drayton looked concerned. These rov ern nietit quarters were so thin floored, he explained. "Did he always stay up until two oVIoek?" He admitted being of P restless d'-i-po&ition, and given to insomnia. "All right," he reported to Mrs. Lawrence, shortly after. "You ju-t reat on vour oars. We'll have xoii back in those quarters before the Kids have had time to do much damnpe to the place. I should say that a fortnight, at the very outside, should see Mrs. ( ollfna smn-r for another . t any other old set. Bartlett will let her have them. He's nn exceptionally obliging M., as (). m.'s go, That's his reputation." It did not run SB smoothly as Dray ton might have wished. The women of the Collins family did not surrender without giving fight. They attacked Dray ton himself first, but wer tint with an urbanity which parried every thrust. It was the thianeu of the walls and lb or-, and that was manifested! v the government ' fault. s for his insomnia, the blame of that lay with the doctor, he should think. He did not like staying broad awake until nearly dawn any Leiter than they did. cf course, however, he would try to control his rest let ness. The attempt met with failure, though, and the women appealed to the commandant. The commands lit was urbane, too, tint the insomnia of his officers was evidently not a matter to be reached officially. It was plain that the insomnia aroused the suspicions oT the (ollinses. ßul the Insects did not. They ha never not even in Texas itself seen n house so overrun with reptiles. There were lizards in everything. There were frogs and toads in dark llook. They hopped into your lap when you were bast expecting it. They were always petting under your feet and squashing. Spiders spun webs and dropped from the ceiling mill the walla. Ami as for mora venmoUfl things! A day hardly passed that Drayton did not kill tarantula or a centipede somewhere around. They seemed to cmergn only when ' B was near. The wrath toward him Wat tempered with an willing gratitude to a savior. There bad also been I garter snake on the front porch. And one horrible day they had come ttPOB Drayton, sabre in hand, standing in the front hallway beside the decapitated body of a rattlesnake, They neglected, in the excitement, to notice that the body was not wrigg ing, Jimmy had that morning produced a newspaper package, "Here's a (b ad rattler," be had said. "I didn't know as you could use him. But I found him, and you can have him for a dime." And the rattler had pr I Hit best Investment of all. a well as the last straw. Captain Collina had ear ried him on a stick out into the road. Then he had gone to the OOU inandant ami Bartlett. He was heavy eyed for want of sleep. The whole family was that way: and Drayton was, tOO. In all humility he asked the favor of being allowed to chanpe his quarters, Any other quarten would do. provided t'iere were fewer insects He was not particular at all. He asked so little, ii. fact, that Bartlett took pinon him. He renewed his opter Of paint. "Now ." he said to Mis. Law reue.-, "you can COSSe back to your own. They'll move out to-morrow. I've just been Inspecting the premisee, am there hasn't been much ham done. They are still the best ijiiariers in the post. The kills have knocked a few holes in the walls and the woodwork's a little scratched. But I'll give von some paint, too." Paint was Bartlett's idra of ihr panacea for all enrthly ill. He had not much else in the World hrtBBJ a second lieutenant; but he had paint, nnd he was liberal with that. The Collinses moved next day. Dravton waited until the last load of furniture was pone, nnd the three women were takinp their final look around. Then he ennie down the stairs holding ...A - - 1 at. I 1 um, in ine innni oi ins arms two centipedes on the point of two large pins. He exhibited 1 hem. "These quartets are too much fol me," he said, "I'd rather bUVS a corner of a housetop alone, than n wide upper floor with crawling things, I'm going to po back to my own rUOBtt." A tierce light id' BUSpleioa broke in on Mrs. Collins' mind then. "I believe." she said sternly and accusingly, "I believe, Mr. Dray ion. that the wdiole thing was a put up Job." "Do you.' Do you really?" asked Drayton, smilingly, d precat ingly. "But consider, my dear lady, Bonsidsl the centipedes." San Francisco Argonaut.

It was a formal nwetitte. Then were there gathered together the leren ap.,r1,.s. Bui there bi n to hellers that theae were not all. Paul says (l Cor. 19:4) that "He was seen of above :,io brethren at once." J lns was nrobablv tint sidea the apostle there were many there of Jesus' disciple. This explana tloa would account for the formality of appointing a meting in so retired a place as a mountain and at fo great a distance frora the scene of the trial and eroeiflxioUa Pome Worship. Some Donbt.- When the company had all gathered .b-sua made Hi- appearance, and "they Bhiped Him." that i. the pr .it majority did. "But some doubted:" This is not some of the eleven ns the reading of the text might b ad one to think. We have seen in previon lessons that they all believed. Twice Jesus had met with them, once without Thomas. and onee with that .' -ciple who would not believe until u saw the print of the nails. But even Thomas believed. So it mnt have been some of the other disciples. The Source of I'ow-er. I'ndoubtedly we have here recorded only a part of all Jesus taid to this SeMBpOny of followers, hut we have the gtal of the discourse. In the first nlnee II. pointed out that into Hi- bands ha I been put all power, both in Beuren and in earth. This is equivalent t Faying He was God, or one with God, which of course it was one creat object of the crucifixion ami redirection to show. If then all power is His, He has income the source of all power. This gives authority to all nis previous teachings and to Bis present commission to preach an I bapt ie. The Commission. The commission was twofold. First, it was to teueh. Second, it was to bapt ie. The baptism was to Im "in the name of the Father, nnd of the Son. and of the Holy tihost." The Father the Jeu had long worshiped. The Son had come the more perfectly to reveal the Father. The Holy Spirit was Be who should testify to the hearts and minds of His followers after He had ascended to the Father. The disciples were to teach "all nation. " The Jewish religion hsd been exclusive. Church and statu were one in a more absolute a than ever they were under hrivtin sway. To be a recognized Jehoral worship the (ientile had to leooni a Jew. The new religion, faith in Jesus Christ, was to know no nationality and no race. Cod loved humankind nnd Christ came to redeem the winde world from the sway of nin. All the commandments of Jesus to His disciples were to be binding npon every ulsepient follower. The IVoualac. With the great commission was coupled a Terr comforting promise: "And. Io, I am with yon alway. even tinto the end of tt. world." The Divine assurance of Dvine help cinder all circumstances is ours if we are doing the will of God. A man may look upon an extraordinary difficulty in bis path as i - j. nal warning him to turn back. or. on the other hand, as a call to extraordinary effort. One man will halt and waver at the edge of th dtieh; another will take it with : rush. One will give up a SumlaT school class of restless boy-, becaus they have leen too much for him; another will resolutely set himself to win those boys, and no change hi himself is too radical, no labor UM severe, for him in ho doing. The world needs men who take hold hard, and persistently work out difficult problems at any cost to themselves. To such men a difficulty is a challenge, and their answer ia victory over it. S. S. Times. Klus nd Thistles. Deeds are the only measure of our days. 'I'he superhuman in Qui cannot be inhuman. It is mockery to wear the ero!s you o not lcar.

Inoenlaticn has lowered fatal eases in cholera from ten to two per cent. The number of epileptics in Illinois is estimated at not less thsn 5,000. Two hundred canals have bee a charted on the nurfare of Mars. The narrowest are 30 miles wide. About s dozen hospitals in Massachusetts have both allopathic and homoeopathic physicians on the staff. In Russian schools pupils are sllowed to choose between learning French and German, and 70 per cent, choose German. Four years 3 fro the total shipments of salted almon from Seattle to tha rast aggregated less thsn 1.000 barrels. This year it is expected to be .000 bar-. Ls. There is a Chinese farm in Florida where the Johns have pone somewhat extensively iuto the "mall truck business, shipping tbeir product to New York. Thejr hae made a s access of it. The Scriptures make frequent mention of the practice of irrigation in the arid Holy Lands and from Persian. Greek and Roman writers wa learn that in all the Mediterranean countries of old the people were mora or less familiar with the art. Implements should be suited to the soil and crops grown. Occasionally a tool will le found that will do pood work in all soils, but this is not usually the case. To know a rood tool nnd when it is doing good work in tbs field requires some intelligence. A DOCTOR THIS TIME. Portland. May r,.-i)r. r.. A. Rose, a practicing physician, formerly of Yates tenter. h:ir.. was on what fveryone supposed was bis death bed. lie bad Diabetes, and aix of his brother doctors were ia attendance and conaultation at his bedside. The had done everything that medical skill could suggest to save hi lif, but they were at last reluctantly forced to tell him that he must prepare for death. Ilia aunt had been summoned to his dying bedside. After the doctors had given her nephew up. she insisted that aa a last resort, he be given a treatment of Dodd's Kidney Pills. From the very first dose, the tide turned in his fa or. His life was saved, and he is hale and hearty to-day. Ibis case and ita cure has amazed the physicians, and is the sensation of the hour. It is interesting to note that while many others are being cured by this great discovery in medicine, the physicians themselvea are among the first to benefit, and that while the simpler and more prevalent forms, such as Rheumatism, Sciatica, Bladder and Urinary Trouble and Female Weakness disappear before it, the more malignant forma, auch as Bricht 's Disease. Diabete and Dropsy, which have always been regarded ss incurable, are yielding just as easily. Dodd's Kidner Pills are fast super seding all other treatments for Kidney Ihsease. and as nearly all human sickness and suffering has its origin in the Kidneys, the use of this wonderful medicine is becoming almost universal,
