I From the Charleston News and Courier.-r-Every where the people are studying how to secure the best municipal government. It seems to be more difficult to secure good and economical city government than to solve any other problem in the complex .business of government. Theoretically one would say that it would be easier to get good government in a j small city than in a state, but experience shows this theory does not work ut in practice. Improving the Currency. , From the Philadelphia Inquirer. It la all right to make a one-dollar bill look as well as a fifty-dollar note, but the treasury department will greatly oblige if it will make it as easy to get. A Lotal Question. From the New York Tribune. Democratic representatives from Florida. Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and North Carolina are paying belated tribute to the tariff philosophy of Gen. Wlnfield Scott Hancock. , ' Castro Keeps Moving. Frdm the New York World. If the number of places where Castro cannot land Increases he will presently have to buy an airship. Irony. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The portrait of Alexander Hamilton nay now be expected to become generally familiar. It is to adorn the new $1,000 government certificates. Progress. . From the Chicago Tribune. Good country roads are almost in sight. Every prosperous farmer either owns an automobile or is making inquiries aa to the price of one. A Fan President, From the Philadelphia Press. Some day this country is ' going to elect a president who plays base ball instead of tennis or golf, and then there will be a hurrah. TWINKLES The Financial Managerie. "Were yo a bull or a bear on Wall treet?" "Neither," answered the cautious man. "Not having funds to invest. I was a giraffe. I Just rubbernecked." An Unruly Scion. , "There's one thing about , Josh's schooling that I'm thankful for," said Farmer Corntossel. "Whafa that?" "I'm glad I hurried up an' got hliu into that college before they put a stop to hazing." . The Bill. And when the tariff bill's made out, With all its items fine and fit, v Consumers will receive, no doubt, The same old notice, Please remit." . "Xursin a grouch," said Uncle Eben. "is like neglectin'. de flowers an' vegetables an' puttin in yoh time tendln' de, weeds." Cynical. -"Bliggins must be very much in love with his wife to buy her so much Jewelry." - "Perhaps." answered Miss , Cayenne, "although it is sometimes difficult to determine whether expensive gifts are inspired by affection or a bad. conscience." His Hands Full. Two Irishmen celebrated St. Patrick's day and started home, together, Irat became separated. Finally they discovered themselves hugging lampposts on opposite sides of the street. "How are yea, Pat T called Mike. ' "Fair, aaya Pat. "How are yes 7" . "I dunno," aaya Mike. "Come over andeea." "I cant come," saya Pat. "Why can't year says Mike.

Henry Clews Reviews the v ; ; National Trade Conditions

Our . crop outlook is becoming of increasing importance.Tbe condition of winter wheat is anything but satisfactory, the acreage being considerably smaller than a year ago and condition lower. '' While there has .been: some Improvement in the latter respect, the prospects are that tbe winter crop will be. the lowest since 1904, some estimates placing It as low as 425,000,000 bushels. ' The effect of this is already seen in the abnormally high prices for wheat; for the world's crop of wheat is unquestionably short and has not. kept pace with the growth in-population. It is possible that a much greater area will be planted than usual in spring wheat, but as winter wbeat usually forms about two-thirds , of the whole crop the significance of the presentsltuatlon Is easily understood. Moreover, high prices for wheat -are not generally considered a sound bull argument on stocks. Indications point to a considerable increase in the acreage of corn, and as this has proved a very profitable crop at recent prices there is more reason for hopefulness regarding this staple than in wheat. It is altogether too early, however, to form any reliable opinions regarding the crops, although much depends upon a satisfactory harvest. Crop failures next fall . would be particularly unfortunate, coming at a time of business depression when the cost of food is already unreasonably high. Our farmers should be persuaded to produce as large crops as possible during the coming year. In doing this tney will not only benefit themselves, but it is in their power to do more than any other class in the country The Sunday South Eighth Street Friends H. R. Keates pastor. 9 a. m.

toward lifting the nation out of existing depression. ; General trade conditions, while somewhat mixed, present a decided element of hopefulness. ' Business Is strictly moderate " in volume, yet the tendency is certainly towards improvement, especially where orders have been stimulated by concessions in prices. More activity is shown in iron and steel as' the result of lower prices, and the revival of building, especially of large structures, is attributable to this cause. The general condition of business is sound and confidence is rising. , There is no doubt that recuperative - influences are steadily at workr costs are being reduced, and only time" is required to bring about more normal conditions. Of course, the tariff is still an impediment. There is no special anxiety, however, regarding final results. Little probability exists of any .disturbing reductions, and now that the Payne bill with all its objectionable features has practically failed in, the house the prospects are that a more workable measure will be introduced by Senator Aldrich. If revenue is what the .government needs, the best thing to do would be to revive the stamp taxes, which can be made to produce a large revenue in the easiest, most effective and least objectionable way. Evidently tlie tariff will be revised by its friends, and there is little reason to look for any radical or important changes. This minimizes the importance of the tariff in the stock market, which will probably feel only indirectly the relief which must come to general business when the issue is settled. That event may be postponed until the end of May, or even later. No one can foretell.

This food, then, occasions all sorts of disagreeable symptoms. Among these are sour stomach, belching of gas and bitterfluid, "heartburn," headaches, etc. all caused by indigestion. But it isn't of much benefit to know what causes the trouble, if we do not know how to prevent it and make use of our knowledge. Nearly everyone knows that Kodol digests all food and is an excellent preparation for any digestive trouble. - Actual figures shows that a tablespoonful of Kodol digests 2, pounds of food not one kind of food at a time, but every kind of food, in any mixture or combination and Kodol digests it in an easy, natural way just as an ordinary, healthy stomach does. "That is why Kodol helps the weak stomach get strong -' it does the stomach's work. : Our guarantee Get a dollar .bottle of Kodol. i If, you 'are not benefited the druggist will at once return your money. Don't hesitate; any druggist will sell you Kodol on these terms. The dollar bottle contains 2 times as much as the 50c bottle. Kodol is prepared in the laboratories of E. C. DeWItt & Co.. Chicago. "

The Sunday School Commentary

SERMON, APRIL II, BY tOprrisfat.lSW.br rin ItM isMiato. We hare yet another lesson on Peter before we take np the story of Sanl of Tarsus or the option of sn Easter lesson from I Cor. xr, but as we desire to miss nothing from the Acts and as the regular leeson is s manif estation of the power of the risen Christ we .take the regular order. We have seen thus far in this book that all tbe . teaching has been concerning a cruel fled and risen Christ snd that tbe thousands saved tbe lame man, and the palsied man healed, and the dead raised were all in the name and by the power of the risen and glorified Redeemer. From the time of the en trance of sin into the 'world up to the present time and on to the end of this age the opposition of the devil, tbe god of this world, is very manifest Peter felt it keenly snd therefore wrote, "Your adversary, the devil, as a roaring Hon walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, whom resist steadfast In the faith" (I Pet v, 8. 9). In this lesson tbe devil's instrument is one of the Herods. a decidedly bad lot, on whose history it would not be wise to waste time. He is permitted to vex the church, to kill James, the brother of John, and To imprison Peter." But in the end of tbe chapter be is taken from the earth, and there is nothing for him but the blackness of darkness forever. James, whom he killed, being the Lord's own, found himself instantly in glory, absent from the bodyj present with the Lord. --Peter was kept in prison, guarded always by four soldiers, and it was Herod's Intention to have him brought out and slain after. Easter. This would have been a great gain for Peter, but it was not in tbe Lord's- plan, as we shall see. Although Peter must have had poor fare and hard lodgings, we see him sleeping, probably as peacefully as in the trance of our last lesson, ready to be slain If that was tbe Lord's way for him. Somewhere in the city. In the house of Mary, tbe sister of Barnabas, the mother of John Mark, many were gathered together, making instant and earnest prayer to- God for him (verses 5, margin, and 12), and their prayers were heard and about to be answered, though they hardly expected it, for had they' not been persistently asking, day and night, and was not this the last night of hope, and how could he be delivered? Well might our Lord say to us most of the time, "O ye of little faith!" Let us see God answering prayer, and may our faith strengthened.. .One of those. angels CITY IN BRIEF No discount on gas bills after today.

REV. D. At. STEARNS.

wno exx-eT in sTren'A is sent to Peter as he sleeps in the prison, securely guarded by the two soldiers, to whom he is chained, and by the guard before tbe door. But the stone walls' and tbe iron gates or doors are nothing to these messengers from the throne of God, and without disturbing one of the guards Peter's chains fall off, and he is told to arise, gird himself, bind on bis sandals, cast bis garments about him and follow his friend. Peter did as he was told, not thinking it a reality, but that be was enjoying a- vision. No one spoke to them as they passed the wards, and tbe iron gate of its own accord opened to them (doubtless more angelic' ministry), and. passing through one street the angel left him, and Peter found himself alone and soou realized that it was no vision, but that an angel had in reality delivered him from Herod and from all tbe expectation of the Jews. The expectation of the people perishes, the counsel of tbe ungodly comes to naught but the purpose of the Lord stands. A light shone In the prison, the glory of tbe Lord shone upon the shepherds, a light from heaven shone upon Saul, fcr all Is light snd glory in heaven, and messengers from there carry light snd glory with them. .When we steadfastly behold the face of Rim who Is the brightness of the Father's glory we, too, will unconsciously carry some of the reflection of that light, a sweet savor of Christ. Us to the guards being undisturbed, there must lave been a deep sleep from the Lord upon them, as In I Sam. xxvi. 12; Gen. ii. 21. All the wisdom and power of man are as nothing to Him of whom It is written, "By the word of the Lord were the heavens made, and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth" KPs. xxxlii, 6). ' When Peter found thst he was really free he went at once to the bouse of Mary and began to knock and continued knocking till. .he gained admission. Had they been expecting the answer they would have bad someone on tbe lookout for Peter to open quickly when he came. But they ssid that Rhoda was mad because she said he was at the gate, and wben abe Insisted that It was so they said It was his angel. And all this time Peter was knocking. The answer to their prayers could scarcely get to them when he came. What do you think of them? Having commissioned them to tell James and the brethren, he departed iand abode it Caesarea, but whether fwith- the centurion of last lesson or (with Philip we can only conjecture. United ; States Senator, Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, found time from his duties at Washington to run up to Nahant recently and preside as moderator at the annual town meeting. "It is to be hoped," says the Springfield Republican, "that he will keep up the custom as long as he lives, even if he haa to make special trips from Washington. The fhfuence of his example can not fail to be most excellent, since ehe spectacle of so distinguished a statesman, whose range is national and worldwide, displaying a local patriotism of this sort must help .to maintain the esseutial dignity of our local situations.."

Christian Endeavor Home Missions

BY SEV..S. Topic Risen with Christ. Col. In. 1-4, Easter meeting. .5 In the preceding chapter of this book I the apostle points out the facts that t the Christian died with Christ (Terse? 10). was burled with Him (verse 11) and also rose with Him (Terse 11). f "Burled with Ilim In baptism, wherein ; also ye are risen with Ilim through ; tbe faith of tbe operation of God. ; which hath raised Ilttn from the dead." In the beginning of the fourth chapter I be speaks of the practical side of our ; been raised from tbe dead with Him. ' "If risen with Christ what then?" he seems to ask and then answers his -own question. " vj 1. If risen with Christ our aims in life should be more exalted. "If risen with Christ seek those things which are above, where Christ sittetb at the right hand of God; set your affection on things above, not on things on tbe earth." The aim of tbe one who has I been associated with Christ tn all His works of redemption in other words, who has been redeemed himself is to be changed from earthly achieve-ments-and joys- to those of beaTen. The aim of the unregenerate, unredeemed man is worldly." His desire Is only toward tbe things of this lifeits wealth, its pleasures and Its ambitions. With tb redeemed this Is not the case. He seeks to lay up treasures in heaven, to be rich toward God rather than to possess the riches of this world, and If we do this our affection will be on the things in hear-, en rather than tbe things of earth, for where a man's treasures are there Is bis heart also. If our weakh Is In railroad stocks our thoughts will be constantly upon them. If our aims in life be to reach some political goal our hearts will be constantly upon that and If seeking heavenly things our hearts' affection will be centered there, "where Christ sitteth on the right band of God." ' This Is Indeed a "consummation devoutly to be wished." for many waste their lives on the trifling toys of earth and see not snd seek not the eternal Joys snd treasures of heaven. 2. If risen with Christ the secret springs of all our life are heavenly. "Your life Is hid with Christ In God." Christ Is In God. we are in Christ, and therefore our lives are hidden In God, the source of all their power and efficiency. What a stupendous f set! A stream cannot rise above Its source. But If the source of the secret springs in a man's hesrt and life be In God how boundless the alms and opportunities of his life! He can sing with sincerity: Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings. Thy better portion trace; Rise from transitory thines Toward heaven, thy native place. Sun end moon end stars decay. Time shall soon this earth remove. Rise, my soul, and haste away To seats prepared above. 3. If risen with Christ we shall partake of His glory at His second comHng. "When Christ.' who Is our life. shall appear, then shall ye also appear with Him In glory." : BIBLS READINGS.
