Many a young woman makes some poor fellow believe she Is interested in Ills welfare when his farewell would be far more acceptable. The fool-killer has a golden opportunity to work on the farm boy near Veedersburg, Ind., who took a lighted lantern to bed with him to keep his feet warm. The Canadian woman who was engaged to a man at nineteen, but who did cot marry him until she was 67. could at least not be credited with the remark: "This Is so sudden." Publicity of campaign contributions, ps proposed at the publicity conference Jn New York, would go a long way toward doing away with some of the abuses that have existed in the past. The boy who saves his money becomes the banker, the merchant and tho professional man. The boy who never paves a cent is the hand-to-tnouth liver, never owns a home or enjoys the luxuries of life. '"Double cross for Indiana daughters, says a headline In a morning parcr in. giving an account of the D. A. Jl. convention at Washington City. It looks from the outside as if everybody connected with the event is cross. Small men with small purposes do not help to make a city lively and progressive. The man who never contributes to a public enterprise or voluntarily assists In supporting any such enterprise, is not worth coaxing to remain in town. Dispatches from Bloomington tell of a student in the state university who, besides carrying full work in the university, is assistant in the students' co-operative store, owner of and teacher in a dancing school, manager of a dancing- club, manager of the Vaudette a r-ce- theater, agent for a piano firm and is a professional baseball player. Now, what can he possibly have to learn? "Warring factions at Indianapolis YOU CAN RELY QIM THE BITTERS.

may make the' visit of President Roosevelt there on Memorial day an unpleasant occasion. Those promoting the dedication of the Lawton stat ue and the Memorial day arrangements are at outs and an effort was made to get the president to deliver two ad dresses but he declined. Conduct of these Indianapolis men is not edifying, to say the least. The more pleasing and pleasant the government can make farm life, the better it is for the government. The citie3 are overcrowded with idle men who might be honorably and respect ably employed In the country. The rural routois one thing that has been provided to make farm life more desirable, and the telephone and traction lines are doing their full share. All these agencies may operate to keep more of the boys on the farm, a condi tion much to be desired for the farm furnishes the bone and sinew of this great commonwealth. WILL BEAR INVESTIGATION. Manufacturers and others interested in the improvement of North E street, should make a careful investigation before they enter their protest to brick paving. It is true that macadam will be much cheaper, but it probably is rue that in the long run a permanent improvement would be the better in vestment. Macadam streets, where used to a great extent, as this would be, require a large expenditure in the way of repairs, while a good brick pavement will go for years without anyconsiderable outlay. The. saving in repairs would eventually" cover the difference in cost between macadam and brick. The subject will bear thor ough investigation. RARE TREAT PROMISED. Managers of the Popular Lecture course, are entitled to the thanks of the Richmond public for making it possible to hear Ian Maclaren (Dr. John Watson) in this city. Dr. Watson is one of the most distinguished men of the present day and is in such demand that it is a difficult matter to secure his services. It is to be hoped 1 that the coliseum, which has been se cured for this number, will be entirely filled. The public is not only assured of a rare treat, but a good cause that of charity will be aided as well. The lecture course so far has not been financially profitable and an opportunity is here presented to overcome this unfortunate situation. THINK OF THE FUTURE. It would be' well for the people of Richmond to observe Arbor day. There are few things that will work more good for the coming generation than the planting of trees. Rapid depletion of the forests is making it ab solutely necessary to take this means of replacing them if the future America is to have anything like a plentiful supply of timber for the almost endless number of purposes to which it is put. If some one would father a project as a result of which trees could be put out about the city, along sidewalks where they are needed, and in public places, it would be a most commendable enterprise. The school grounds are already well supplied with trees, but the schools could make Arbor day well worth while by getting trees set out on other ground where such would be advantageous.

Of these families two are of American birth. There are thousands of varieties, however and of these our enterprising rose growers have contributed by far the largest proportion.

International Sunday School Lesson

Second Quarter. Lesson III. April 21. JOSEPH SOLD BY HIS BRETHREN. Genesis 37: 5-28. Golden Text. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. Jas. 3: 10. Time. Uncertain, possibly somewhere between 1700 and 1C50 B. C. Places. Hebron, about 20 milas south of Jerusalem; Shechem, in Samaria, about 50 miles north of. Hebron; Dothan, about 12 miles north of Shechem. Persons. Jacob; Joseph, represented as seventeen years old; Benjamin, probably about ten. The other sons, considerably older than Joseph. The lesson begins the third great division of Genesis, which, writh the exception of chapter 3S, which is ir. parenthesis, Is wholly devoted to the history of Joseph and circumstances pnnnprtpfl with hl liff .Tnrnh fall", into the background, and, although considerable space is given to his history, Joseph is the chief character, and interest centers In him. The character of Joseph is one o the finest in the Old Testament, and as nearly a faultless one as is therwln portrayed. "He is tho true son, ihe true brother, the true servant. Loyal and faithful, disinterested and sincere, modest and considerate, he wins the esteem of all rightminded persons with whom he has to do. He is obeJient to duty in whatever position he finds himself." 5. "Dreamed a dream." The importance dreams held in tho old dispensation is well-known. It was natural, for the lad to tell his brethren. "Hated him the more." Their hatred was caused (1) by the fact that Jacob loWl him more than he did them, which was natural (verse 3), though it was not wise in Jacob to show it. Joseph was not only the "son of his old age," but the child of his best loved wife, Rachel, and was also in every way satisfactory to his father. Besides this, as the son of a wife, he occupied a higher position than the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, the concubines. 6-8. "Binding sheaves in the field." This implies that Jacob and bis household were not wholly pastoral, but partly agricultural, in their occupations. His brothers interpreted the OQ tt. greatness; that they did not ridicule him Indicates that his character was such that a future of that kind wis not impossible. 9. "Eleven stars." Indicating big eleven brothers. 10. "Told it to his father." Jacob also interpreted the dream in the same way a3 the younger men had, and rebukes Joseph, because it was wholly contrary to Oriental etiquette and custom that a father should ever make ROMANTIC DEVONSHIRE The Land Made Famous by Philpott's Novels. Philpotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating novels, "The River," "Children of the Mist," etc. The characters are very human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill, Bideford, North Devon, states: "For SO years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner but some 5 years ago I found that it was producing indigestion and heartburn, and was making me restless at night. These symptoms were followed by brain fag and a sluggish mental condition. "When I realized this, I made up my mind that to quit drinking coffee and having read of Postum, I concluded to try it. I had it carefully made, according to directions, and found to my agreeable surprise at the end of a week, that I no longer suffered from either indigestion, heartburn, or brain- ' fag, and that I could drink it at night and secure restful and refreshing sleep. "Since that time we have entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive organs certainly do their work much better now than before, a result due to Postum Food Coffee, I am satisfied. , "As a table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use it) that when properly made it is most refreshing and agreeable, of delicious flavour and aroma. Vigilance is. however, necessary to secure this, for unless the servants are watched they are likely to neglect the thorough boiling which it must have in. order to extract the goodness from the cereal." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the little book, "The Road to Wellville," in . pkgs. "There's a reason."

obeisance to a child. "I and thy mother." This would imply that ' Rachel was living; but see chapter S3: 19. It is one of the statements that cannot, with our knowledge, ba explained quite satisfactorily. 11. "His father kept the saying in mind." R. V. Pondered it in his heart. He felt sure it meant something and turned it over and over, questioning what it might mean. 12. "Shechem." Jacob's sons had conquered Shechem (see Gen. 34), but the fact that they would take their flocks 50 or CO miles away from home shows that Jacob and his household must have been numerous and strong. 13. That the men and their flocks were not in a perfectly safe place is shown by Jacob's- desire to hear of their welfare. Note Joseph's prompt obedience 14. . "Go now." R. V. The comi mand is thus decided and abrupt "Come to Shechem." It would be about a three days' journey from Hebron. 15. "Found him." We should say, "met him." 16. "Where they are feeding their flocks " R. V. 17. "Dothan." "Two wells." Tbe same is preserved in Tell-Dothan, where there are two wells still. IS. "They conspired to kill him" The sight of Joseph coming suggested the thought of putting him out of the'r way. 19. "This dreamer." Literally, "Master of dreams," said, doubtless, in scorn. 20. They plan a not improbable story to tell 4heir father. "Some pit.". "One of tho nits." R. V. TTndoubterlly cisterns for holding water, probablv dry at this season. They were bottleshaped, and one could not get out without help. 21. "Reuben." The eldest born, son of Leah. "Delivered him out of their hand " Saved his life. 22. "Pit." Cistern as above. "That he might deliver him out of their hand, restore .him to his father." R. V. 23. "The coat of many colors." The Hebrew word thus translated is used nowhere else, and its exact meaning is not known. Many of the best scholars believe that it should be translated "a tunic with sleeves, and reaching to the feet." The ordinary tunic was sleeveless, and did not extend below the knees. .24. "Pit." Cistern. There are many at this day in the neighborhood of Dothan. "No water in it," but doubtless the bottom was covered with slime and mud a noisome place, indeed. t 25. "Sat down to eat bread." Possibly some of the very things which Joseph had brought. "Behold i a caravan or Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead." Amer. R. V. The Ishmaelites were not distant relative.- of Joseph. Dothan was on the great road to Egypt, which ran past Beisan, Jezreel, through the plaia of , bnaron ana iyaaa, ana so on ana iyaaa, ana so on tot Egypt. "Spicery." Gum tragacanth . l probably. "Balm." A regular pro duct of Gilead. Jer. 8:22; 46:11. Myrrh. Ladanum. a fragrant gum. These gums were used for medicine, incense, and embalming. 26-27. Judab. now appears on the scene and, by exciting the cupidity of his brethren, saves Joseph's life. "Conceal his blood." Compare Gen. 4: 10. 28. In this verse there appears to be another account of Joseph's "hsing carried away, kidnapped by Midianites. Some refer the pronoun "they'" to Joseph's brethren, but the former explanation is more consonant with verse 29, also with the statement in Genesis 40: 15, that Joseph was "stolen away." . Practical Thoughts. 1. Acts 7:9. "Obedience is the organ of spiritual vision." S. "How oft the sight of means to do ill deeds makes 111 deeds done." Joe Kern's many Richmond acquaintances will be glad to know that he will run down from Indianapolis for tomorrow and will display a complete assortment of Spring and Summer woolens at the Hotel Westcott. Mr. Kern's visit is primarily business, but he will be glad to visit with any of his friends. --. - IS-lt NOTICE. Members of Oriental Encampment No. 2S, I. O. O.

BRIDGES MUST BE CHANGED GRAND RAPIDS AND INDIANA HAS TWO FAULTY ONES. They are Overhead Structures That Do Not Provide Sufficient Clearance. The G. R. & I. railroad now has two overhead bridges on its line one near Ft. Wayne, at the Nickel Plate junction, and one at Lagrange. As neither of these structures complies with the new state law, in that they do Dot clear twenty-one feet between the tracks and the bottom of the bridge, J. H. Campbell, general counsel, has asked the railroad commission to allow the railroad to maintain the bri cl ses tm they can be rebuilt or arranged to comply with the law. PAY CAR IN CITY. The Grand Rapids and Indiana pay car has arrived in the city and all employes of the system were paid their monthly wages. The car was one day late in arriving. SICK WITH RHEUMATISM. Wm. Hutchinson, passenger conductor on the Cincinnati division of tha Pennsylvania, between Richmond and Springfield, is off duty on account of rheumatism. Ed King, extra conductor, is taking Hutchinson's run. INTERESTED IN BASE BALL. That railway conductors appreciate base ball as well as other American j citizens, is illustrated by the fact that C. E. Baker of the Cincinnati division of the Pennsylvania secured a four days' leave of absence, that he might witness the opening game of the A-i merican Association at Columbus, O. Baker Is a most ardent base ball fiend. B. W. Carlos is serving during his h absence. CROSSTIES FROM JAPAN. Owing to the increased shortage in crnssties th railroads are now turnIng their eyes toward Japan, which nrnfl,.PS nT, na!r rnnsidrpd virv finp Jf - ' r for crossties. They can be secured for about the same price as American tifs, counting in the freight and all expenses in getting them to the Unt.ed States. LEARN BY OBSERVATION. Several western railroads have adopted the plan of placing men on other roads, to watch the efficiency of handling the public. All outward de tails of manacement are looked after by these men, and they then report to their own roads the most salient i ! points. BLOCK SIGNAL EXPERTS. The interstate commerce commis ?

The report that the Pennsylvania railroad and several other large pyterns intended to build car shops of their own, has had a stimulating effect upon car builders and they are rushirg their work with the greatest possible speed and the railroads are getting more cars than ever before. BIG DAMAGES AWARDED. Fraukie Simons of Gas City, Ind.. has been awarded damages to tha extent of $23,S7G.65 for the loss of bctii his legs under a Pennsylvania train some time ago. The Pennsylvania did not contest the amount but paid Simons immediately. The damages were the greatest ever paid in Indiana fcr a similar accident. FINED FOR REBATING.

NEW LAW DISCUSSED. At a call meeting of the Central Passenger Association In Chicago, the two cent law in Indiana was considered and plans were discussed whereby tbe law would not interfere with the New York and Chicago rates now in vc?ue on the through trains. MUST SUBMIT ACCOUNTS. After July 1 all railroads, including the Pennsylvania, will be required to submit its accounts monthly, quarterly semi-annually and annually to the Interstate Commerce commission. SCHEDULES ARE LENGTHENED. The new schedules from Chicago to western points have been agreed upon by railroad officials. The schedule from Chicago to Los Angeles will be lengthened from 71 hours and five minutes to 72 hours; to San Francisco from 694. to 72; .to Denver 27 to 32 hours; from Chicago to the Missouri river from 1.1 hours and 23 minutes to 14 hours. ACCOUNTS FOR SHORTAGE. Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific, contends that the phenomenal prosperity of the country during the past decade is the cause of the lengthy period of freight congestion on the railroads and that tbe management of the railroads is not inefficient. In support of his contention he gives figures by which to show the extraordinary and quick increase in the volume of traffic to be handled by the railroads: Farm products. The value jumped from over two billion in 1890 to seven billion in 1906. Population. Increased nine million since 1900. Steel. Product doubled 6ince 1900. Pig Iron Nine million ton increase

Christian Endeavor Lesson.

April 21. WAYS TO READ WISE WISE BOOKS. Prov. 4: 1-9. When the priest bound wrist and brow with phylacteries, on which were written portions of the law, he was symbolizing the fact that the hand and heart of the wise require guidance. Meditation on the law Is urged, an 3 the "w riting of its precepts on the iau "s Ui lue miuu ana neari; wuije t.t - f .1 i i a - lmJ abiding in and obeying the words of Christ are set forth as both seed and fruit of the highest wisdom. Knowledge may see the way, but it kali be the guide. The experience of a hundred generations are at our cornmand, if we will but acquaint ourselves with them. The tested teachings of earth's sages are in the hands of every one who reads the words of Moses and David, of Paul and Isaih, and above all of Jesus Christ. But the thousand fold arDlications testimonies . and Inspirations that may oura by tne perusal of what are called secular writings, can not be overlooked either. Tbe lives of men like Livingston and Carey, like Lincoln and Gladstone, and of women like Frances Willard and Mary Lyon, are of the greatest worth; while the hand of God in history can not be left unnoticed by any who would give Him the honor due Him and His rightful place as Lord of the nations.

Itj the past ten years the railroad mileage increased but 21 per cent., mostly opening up new territory and creating more business on trunk lines. Equipment Increased from 25 to 35 per cenL with much greater efficiency in operation.

The genuine Is In a yellow package. Refuse substitutes. A. G. Luken & Co. New books without number pour from the presses of today and a few of them must be read by those who wish to know the progress of the world in wisdom and right knowledge. But most of reading can well be In books that have had enough intrinsic worth to outlive the generation that produced them. That fact alone reduces vastly the bulk of literature to be considered. Books that beget doubt, that are founded on "ifs," like Satan's approaches to Christ in the wilderness; books that "leave a bad taste In the mouth." that lower our regard for home and womanhood, or for Christ and His church, that makes us think tolerantly of Impurity and irreverence such books have no more place in the hands of most perhaps of any of us than has a typhoid germ in a baby's diet. The problem of finding time to read even a few good books often seems difficult of tolutidn. It might b a help to others if each one would report to his or her society the plans that have been found successful in making use of the flying moments. We may have to regulate the amount of time we can allow to the reading of newtpapers and periodicals; while the art of making small and light volumes may be looked to to supply editions of worthy books that can be uted as con veniently as has been the light literature that is so often used to pas3 a leisure moment. Your doctor will tell you that fresh air and good food are tbe real cures for consumption. But often the cough is very bard. Hence, we suggest that you ask your doctor about Ayers Cherry Pectoral.
