T took some timsio persaada Bert, an enthnaiaitio ama¬ teur inveDtor, that a Tacation was neeeiaary for eyaa aud neryea, and aome time longer before he eonld decide to leave any of bia precions appliances behind.
"Confound eyes and neryea any how," he thought, as he flnally en tared the car and sank down in a seat with bis cap oyer his eyes. "The idea vt ayawng giant like me having trouble with mob things anyway."
His feelings went lower and lower, and they were by no means relieved when he alighted at the forlorn station whera great-nnole Joshoa was sup- poeed to await his arrival.
No one was there to meet him, bat by the time he had tenderly assisted his wheel out of the baggage ear a oloud of dust far down the road gave evidence that some one was approach¬ ing, and presently there appeared a pair of fat comfortable horses drawing a apringless wagon, with so elderly man on the seat.
dert stepped-forward. "Is this my great-uncle Joshua?" he asked.
"I reckon it is,"" replied the old man, "and yon, I presnme, air my Aevview, Bert, the invalid, who is to work himself well again. You don't look very sick," he added.
Bart blushed. "I am not, really," he said. "My eyes and head bothered ma a little. So the folks were deter¬ mined to make a serious thing of it. But there's nothing the mattor with my muscle," he added.
"I'll lend a band on Ihat trunk," said nnole Joshua, preparing to climb oat.
"Please don't get down," said Bert; "I'll tosa this in," suiting the action to the word.' As it went in the floor of the wagon creaked, but Bert was no whit discomposed by the effort, and when be bad placed his wheel, which hla ancle regarded with strong dis¬ favor, he sprang lightly up on the seat.
After what saemed an interminable distance, they drov*'iij~the propped' opaa gate and up the aide of a amall nnpainted farm house. A tiny woman came to the door to meet them, and aha waa maoh surprised to Hud her in¬ valid nephew a big fellow, entirely equal to lifting her almost off from her feet as he greeted her as aunt Abby.
"Wall, I am proper glad to see you," she said. "Hasband and I don't see anything young around here often. But come in. sapper's ready. I thiuk you mast be hungry."
Bert was hungry, but when be sat down in the hot kitchen and tried to swallow the strong boiled te<, his ap¬ petite disappeared, and a homesick lump came in his throat, that made it impossible to eat the hot salaratus bis- oult and bacon.
Uncle Joahna, however, ate with ex- eeltaat appetite and much gusto. He listened without comment to his wife's conplaint }hat it had been so hot that day that the butter would not come. ' "Have yon no ice or spring?" asked Bart.
"Thara's a good spring, but|its kiody ehokad ap, and the house is iNit of or¬ der," began Aant Abby, but Uncle Joahna's nndarlip shot ,oat and the subject was dropped.
Bart loaiatad on drying the dishes after sapper, and did so with auch thoroaghuaaa that Aunt Abby praised M»*«natiAtingly.
*'Wa all help mother if there's no one in the kitohen," he explained. "And I want you to get cooled oft on the poreh."
Annt Abby sighed iu sheer content. When they joined Uncle Joshua be was aBtattaining a visitor, a dsrk, slaak-looking man, who looked and talked as though he bad been oil«d. Bert disliked him instinctively.
Cnola Joahna, however, was evi¬ dently delighted with his friends. He at onea introduoad Bert aa "my ner- view from the city, Mr. Jones, who has baan trying to ran things on the modem improvement plan, and he'.') broke down under it, eh nevview?"
"Ah," said Mr. Jonea. extending a flsh-lika hand,* "the old ways ate good enough for us, sb brother?"
"Tea, indaedy," replied nnole Jos¬ hua, with fervor. And Bert fell, along with bis distrust, that the fel¬ low was flattering poor old unrle Jos- baa (or no good purpose.
Ha learned later from annt .\bby that the man had come along that way with lightning roda, and he and nndo Joahna had straok up a sort of iu- timacy, which resulted in his settling down ^n a little hut on the cotskirts l of a wood near by.
He tuld them that he bad been  an itinerant preacher, so he  occaaiunolly i ¦ow held schoolbouae aervinee  when I thry were without a regular minister.
Aamt Abby went with Bart up iuto 'his aOMll box like room. While Hert thraw op the window with a gasp. "Batter not, dear," said aunt .\bl<y, gently.    "Tba moaqnitoea will eat you
"Mother pat in  a moaqoito  Iwr, said Bart," thankful from his heart (or his mother'a thoughtfalneoa.
Uncle Joebua found plenty of work (or Bert in the days that followed, and Bert did ^t with a vigor that was char- actariatic, and that brought bim dr<«m- less sleep aud perfect health.
Ha found time, however, to repair the spring hosse ami hb«rale the ehokad-ap water. Then he fixed a bat¬ tery that churned the batter to per IsatioB, Thia 'vas, at present, a se orat between the two, an>< aunt .^bhy was as delighted as a child with a new ley.
B* dalightad l« tinker op thing* for
the tired little woman, who, undorbis care, was growing yonnjr aKain, but he rarely or never intriideil »ny sngges- tion on nncle Joshua.
One night, while ho was sitting on the porch .planning a dish washing machine, he saw nncle,^ahua run¬ ning toward the barn bareheaded. Ho he went oat to see what the trouble was.
"My Jersey heifer's got away wilfli her calf, and I'm 'fraid they're in the cut on the railroad track—the fence is down onil the 9 15 express'll catch 'em. I must get one of the horses and go after 'cm," explained uncle Joshua,
Bert    glanced    at   bis   watch and
thought of   the   trotting   rapacity of
the two fat horses within   the  atalilc.
"I>on't worry, nncle," he said.  "I'll
get her."
He was on his wheel and down the road like a flash. Uncle Josliua stood looking after him witli his month open, and ho still had it open when Bert retnrneil, having driven ni" the heifer and her frightened calf, and propped up the fence.
As he dismounted, uncle .Topbaa looked at the machine with an appre¬ ciative twinkln. "Haudy thing to have around when vou're in a hurry, I vum," he said.     ".Vlnch oliliged."
There were almost nightly pilfer- ings going on from the henhouse, and always the missing fowl were the ten- derest aud plumpest, showing xuch discrimination that Reit's suspicions were strongly centered nn the man' who, as an ex-lightniog-rod agent and ex-preacher, still visited uncle Joshua nightly.
Uncle Joshua seemed very uneasy over theee thefts, and Bert strongly snspected that ho had money secreted about, for nude Joshua cuusistently refused to put hie trust in banks, and it was probable sums of money were buried or hidden around the place.
Bert therefore resolved, if possible, to catch the thief, and his plaus were perfected one (juik, windy night. His faith in his plan was so implicit that he went to bed and fell asleep easily.
It was about midnight when he beard a cry of fright aud a groat squawking of hens. He sat up iu hed and laughed. Then he ran to the, window and caught sight of a strange¬ ly familiar figure flying across tl><> yard.
The next morning he arose early and developed a most excellent like¬ ness of Mr, Jones with his hand stretched longingly toward nuut ¦¦ Abby's fattest pullet. This he took down to uncle Joshua.
"Where under the canopy did you get thisT" gasped nude Joshnn.
"Connected it with n battery, so when tho henhouse door was o|)eni!d it sprang a fltt»hlight and took his picture," answered Bert, briefly.
"Well, I call that cute," began uncle Joshua.
Then he turned palo and rushed out-doors. Behind the barii he dug up a box, bat alas it was filled with nothing but a brick. Then he danued something like the highland fling and uttered very reprelicusiblo language. Presently ho grasped Uort by the shonlder.
"Ho knew where I kept it," he gasped. "I toM liini, like a fool. You ket^h him on your flying ma¬ chine. I'll give you $2.5 if you catch him."
Bnt Bert was o(T, blessing his stars all the way that only two traius daily stopped at tlio station nearest uncle .Toshna's, and the lirst one was not yet due.
Bert eamo in sight of tho station, however, just as the tram rolled iu, and a lean, lank tiKuro came hurriedly out of tho wuo.ls near just as it was starting by again, with intent to climb on the last step.
Bnt he found himself tripped up, and an athletic young man nat down on him to patiently wait for uncle ¦Toshua's approach with the wagon. The train disappeared and the two found plenty of tijne to think of many things before uncle Joshna canto olat- tering down the road at a most uu- nsual rate of speed.
When Bert arrived at home a few weeks later, tho five youths who had escorted bim down where there to wel¬ come bim home. "Three cheers for the potato bug," they suggested, and they were given with a will.
"Where's your wheel?" was asked at once. "80J1I it to undo Joshua," said Bert, laughing. "I'm no ]iotato bug, boys, but a capitalist. Twenty- fire dollars from uncle Joshua for cap¬ turing Jones, and i'tiW from Millnirn County for captiiriug a horse thief aud murderer in tho same mau." '
"Uo way! " shouledthoboys. "What you going to do with it?"
'Buy aunt Alibe.v a tlrtit-class ga.in line range with uiidc.Io.Hhna'-< money, and I'll make your eyes stick out with the electrical outfit I buy with tlio other," sold Hert, "with a few small tilings for you boys that you think you must have. "

Life comes first, then light. According tottcripturo and accord¬ ing to the latest seience, some energy, some living force first set the particles of matter into motion, and the first result was light. LlKht is a form of motion, and mo¬ tion ..'omes from lite. This is equally true ot the soul.
5. Aud the light shinsth In darkness. R. v., the darkness, of sin, and ignorance, an<l bopelesaness without heaven, or Ood, or peace. Aud the darkness comprehend¬ ed {U. v., apprehended) It not. Did not admit or receive the light so that tho dark¬ ness would be removed. Another trans¬ lation, in the margin of tho H. V. is Inter- (stlug—the darkness overcame it not. The light, though soniotlmes apparently over¬ come, waa really victorious; It withstood every assault, aud shouo on triumpbanlly In a durknned world.

7. The same came for a witness, rather, a wituessing, for testimony to bear.

Mr. JamesBrvce, in a .-pcecli be/ore the Leicester Chamber of Commerce, sounded a warning to British manutaelurers. Ho imipliaslzed the fact that tho exports ol tho Initeii .Slates and C.ermanv had iucroa.M'd * 170.000,000 and *in,'>,nOO,0(10 respectively, between WJ\ and Wll. while Oreat Bri't- alus decreased  7.5,000,00).

WbfuJohn began to preach the true light was just coming Into the world. The lighting igvery mau was the test aud proof that the light to which John bore witness was the true light. A lamp, however bril¬ liant, lights bat a small portion of the earth; the sun shines upon the whole round earth.
10. He, the Word, the Light. Was In the world. In all Ibc past ages, in every mani¬ festation of (ioil.ln the history of tho chosen nation, but eHpecially when He ap¬ peared as the man Christ Jesus, the Sav¬ iour of tiie world. This Is one reason why the world ought to receive Him, for He was among men te.iidiing, tuvitlug aud helping them,   Aud the world was made by   Him.
11. He .^anidiwto His own. His own pos¬ sessions.

This showed a shortage in the general fund ol «4t;,.303. The delay In the matter ot hall for Lammerts resulted in the announcement by the District Attor¬ ney that additional charges are pending agaluit Lammerts, including forgery and niUuppropriatloD of funds. Efforts were made to have the presiding Justice ax the amoaut of Lammert)'ball at $.10,000.

In response to furtlier questioning, how¬ ever, and when a puhlishod translation ol tho treaty, as given out in Madrid whits he was at sea, was shown to him, Henatcr Frye said:
"Every article of the treaty was fought for tiy the Untteil States Commissioners and stubbornly resisted tiy tbe Spanish. Tbe points which the Spanish resisted most vlg. orously were the loss of tho Philippines an.l tbe assumption of. the Cuban debt. When the two commissions me( the Spanish Commissioners' flrst proposition was, 'Let th" Americans get out of Manila, tho Island of Luzon, and disclaim all Intentions of ac- quiring the Phili|ipiues, and then wa will begin our negotiations.' After consider¬ able parrying we made them understand that the negotiations had better proceed without such a sweeping condition or tlioy might not proceed at all,
"Then the Spanish Commissioners wished the United States to assume all tbe Cuban In.lebtedness, We had to flght hard to oon- vluce the Spaniards that wo did not think It right to Impose such obligations on the American people, but after a hard light ol days and days our opponents yielded to .lur claims and signal tho treaty, which I have no .loubl will be approvedby the Presi¬ dent and ratHled by tho Senate."
