Bible Thoughts for : £.»£ Sunday, HOW TO Gill' AN 1N0HEASB. —Let the people praise thee, 0 God; let all the people praise thee. i Then sliall the earth yield her In- crease; and God, even our own God, shall bless us.—Ps. 6T:5, 6. Monday. WHY WILL i'B DUD?—Cast away from you -all your transgres- sions, whereby ye have trans- gressed; and make you a new heart and a neSv spirit: for why will ye .die, 0 house of Israel ? For I have no pleasure In the death of him that dieth, salth the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.—fizek. 18:31, 32. Tuesday. A PENITENT PHAYER.-^Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from .my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin Is ever before 'me.—Ps. 51:2, 3. Wednesday, GREAT POWER FROM GOD.— Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and seorpions, and over all .the power of the ene- my; , and nothing shall by any means hurt you.—Luke 10:19, Thursday. THE) MERCY OF GOP—Who is a tfbd like\ unto' tfiee,\ that\ par- doneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage ... He delighteth in mercy. ... He will have com- passion' Upon us: he will subdue our Iniquities: and thou wilt cost all their sins into the depths of the sea.—Micah 7:18, 19. Friday. LORD SEES ALU—For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro through- out the whole earth, to show him- self strong in behalf of those whose heart Is perfect toward him.—II Ohron. 16:9. Saturday. • NO EVIL.—Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habita- tion ; there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.—Ps. 91:9, 10. HUMOR IN STATESMEN. ' Humor is a quality of character. It is a heavenly gift which helps us humans meet the strain of life with balance and poise. It is like the springs in an automobile which make it meet the humps on the road with- out racking out bones or our nerves. It acts like a shock absorbed:, which helps us meet life's hurdles with a smile on our faces. A man or woman without .a sense of humor is severely handicapped especially if under pressure. (When Abraham Lincoln regaled his cabinet with funny stories in the •midst of their serious sessions, he ap- plied the brakes just when they were needed. His sense of humor saved him from giving way under the strain. Huimor saves many a serious situation. In this day of hurry and bustle tamor is a life preserver. Statesmen facing critical world situations can- not do without it. K they lack it they should be shelved. We cannot 'afford to run the risk of the handicap under present conditions for humor is no luxury; it is a vital necessity. The smile of a Harding and the chuckle of a Taft, the dental display of a Thedore Roosevelt have reveal- ed a sense of huimor. Fortunately for the State of New York we have a Governor gifted with this sense. The Al Smith laugh, is hearty and contagious. His humor is full of life's, wisdom. It has not been acquired with a sheepskin, it is rather his native endowment enrich- ed by his experience in the world of •hard work. Al Smith takes his job too serious- ly not to apply to the weighty prob- lem of Governorship his sense of humor. THE LOCAL NEWSPAPER. Stand by your town newspaper. If there is anything i n your' town worth talking about, ten chances to one your little town newspaper had a hand in putting it there, and if there exists any unsightly or unsavory nuisance, twenty chances to one it will stay there until your town editor sees it or smells i t and wipes his pen on the town board's bi-eeches. If anybody beyond the walls of your burg ever learn that there is such a place in iCape Vincent it will be through the town oracle. Every town gets its money's worth through the village newspaper. It's the wagon that carries all your goods to market. It ought to be kept in good repair. It will pay to grease it, paint it, and keep its running gears in good shape and shelter. Stand by your local newspaper. Its the guardian and defender of every •interest, the forerunner and pioneer of every advance movement, and the •sturdy at** *cate of law and order. Take it aiwy and it would not be six months before the town would look as if it had been doped. (Business would drag, society would yawn, and grass would grow between the cob- bles. MUST WORK TOGETHER No town can grow as it should un- less i its people work together in its upbuilding. The history of every city that has had rapid and substan- tial growth will show that united and enthusiastic work of its people had •the greatest pai* in making it grow. In towns where a few live men boost and work the town's upbuilding and (many are indifferent and do nothing, the work of city building is exceeding- ly difficult and the results slow in coming., Iif all boost and help to build up the town it is an easy mat- ter to make the town push forward. Uncle Ab says: It's a hopeful fact that most of the folks who make places for themselves in the world are only a little better than the average. COUNTY CHAUTAUQUA ALUMNI ELECTS OFFICERS AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.

Death of George H. Reasoner.

On Tuesday morning -of last week at eight o'clock at St. Vincent de Paul's church, Rosiere, occurred the marriage of Miss Agnes M.

Mount Ranier itself towers 14,408 feet above tidewater in Puget sound. Excellent roads and trails, giant rivers of Ice, snow-covered peaks, numerous waterfalls, giant fli and cedar trees and deep lakes of all colors of the rainbow are a few of the side_attro\HnnK. H REGU GOVERNMENT ENGINEERS WILL DIRECT USE OF CAPE VIN- CENT BREAKWATER. New regulations have been issued toy the War Department for the use of the breakwater at Cape Vincent. The regulations, —it is stated, have been made necessary by violation of unwritten rules by some of the vessels using the shelter harbor, and by abuse of the government breakwater, and piers as docks. The regulations were drawn by Resident Engineer John C, Churchill, of Oswego, and as issued, going into effect at once\ have been approved by Major Paul S. Rein- necke, district engineer, and are ap- proved by Dwight F. Davis, assistant secretary of war. The regulations are as follows: 1.—All boats, barges and vessels entering the harbor will be required to take such positions as may be as : signed them by the district engineer of the engineer department at large, in char-ge of the harbor, or his duly authorized representative who will direct their movements from ,the breakwater. 2.—In the absence of any directions as to position, boats, barges and ves- sels entei'-ing the harbor will observe the following rule: The first steam vessel entering the hai'bor for shelter will proceed to the upstream end of • the breakwater and moor alongside it. All steam vessels entering later will place themselves in a compact position close to those preceding them. Sailing craft will so locate themselves that they will not lie in the way of other vessels entering the harbor. All vessels of every description will place themselves so as not to interfere with any work of reconstruction of piers or repairs that may be in progress at any time. 3.—The use of chains in making fast to the -breakwater in prohibited. Lines must be attached to the snub- bing posts only and outboard an- chors taken in. 4.—'Steam craft with barges or vessels in tow will, if practicable, and unless otherwise directed, at once •place them compactly alongside the breakwater so as not to- interfere in any way with the landing or depart- ure of boats or vessels between them. If practicable to place them alongside the breakwater, they will each moor to the breakwater and at once take in- all towlines extending from one to the other. 5.—Passenger boats will in gener- al have the preference as to location and attention by the said district engineer or his representative. 6.—All classes of boats, barges, vessels, or other floating property making fast to the breakwater must at once place such fenders between themselves and the breakwater as may be directed by the said district engineer or his representative. 7.—The unloading of wood, coal, ballast, stone or freight of any class upon the breakwater is expressly prohibited, except in accordance with special permission from the said dis- trict engineer or his representative. 8.—Each and every piece of float- ing property made fast to the break- water, or anchored in the harbor, must have a watchman upon it and in immediate charge of it during the entire time such floating property is in the harbor. Flow of Language. A colored preacher, one of the men who are never at a loss for words, was commending to his congregation one of the organs of the church, and this is how he did it: \The missionary bulletin of this church needs subscribers. It is young and utiflnancial, but through the in- strumentality of backbone and grit it will become an Ideal. It was ushered Into existence out of purely Innocent contemplation of moral and religious -;ood, which wou'li In. all probability, result from carefully agitated prin- ciples or righteousness. The bulletin will be observed mingling in social conventions to furnish with sheaves of harvest those reasonable products com- mon to social contingencies. The tone of the whole will be missionary work.\ —-Kansas City Journal. Tarnish Remover. A Californiun is the inventor of a cloth saturated with a polish that re- moves rust and tarnish from metals without rubbing. Where Ocean Is Eight Miles Deep. Surveys indicate that near the mouth of the river Rio de la Plata the At- lantic is more than eight miles deeps' A Teuton Tip. \Be silent or say something that is better than silence,\ runs a German proverb.—Boston Transcript.

LET US FURNISH YOUR Cottage and Garage Materials Custom Grinding and Mill Work. J. A. Scobell Company Cape Vincent, N. Y. A REMARKABLE SHOWING THE VARIOUS DEPART- MENTS. \This way to the fair grounds; go- ing right up !\ This is the cry you are hearing to- day, and you will continue to hear it daily' until the close of the thirty- ninth annual fair at Cape Vincent, on Friday afternoon. Thirty-nine years ago, when the idea of inaugurating a town fair was formulated, there were persons who claimed that i t would never be a suc- css. -Some .prophesied that it might run a couple o r three years, but those of a more piptimistic nature held to the belief that with .wise management the fair would have a long and use- ,ful existence. That they were right in their conjecture has been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt, for the fair to-day, now in its 39th year, was never in a more prosperous condi- tion, or had more staunch friends and well wishers. Each year has seen more or less improvement to the grounds and buildings; each year the' premium list has been improved, until the prizes now equal, in many in- stances, those paid by the state fair. And right here we want to say that the Cape Vincent fair—the only town fair in Jefferson county—is, or ought to be, the pride of every man and wo- man in the fair district. Thirty-nine years of unprecedented success is a record to be proud of. On Saturday last Secretary M. G. Fitzgerald and his clerical force <com- anenced taking entries for the big exhibition, and up to Tuesday noon his office—was a busy place. When, the time for taking entries closed it was found that the number exceeded that of previous years. In the various departments the exhibits are exceedingly meritorius. This is noticeably so in the cattle, sheep, swine and poultry classes, all breeds and strains being represented. In the horse department the showing is creditable and fine specimens of that noble animal are very much in evidence. In the ladies department the exhibit is up to the usual excel- lent standard. The floral offering is large and there is a meritorius fine art exhibit. Owing to the extremely dry season the showing in the fruit and vegetable department is not large, still the exhibit is,worth seer ing. Baseball. Baseball has always been a fea- ture of the fair, but this year the managers have secured teams that will put up the finest exhibition of ball, with possibly one exception, ever seen on the local diamond. The schedule of the .games follow: Wednesday—Edwards vs. Water- town New York Centrals. Thursday—Edwards vs. Croghan. Friday—Croghan vs. Watertown New York Centrals. Horse Races. The management has arranged for four horse races, two on Wednesday and two on Thursday, for .purses ag- gregating $1,000. It is quite likely that racing events will be arranged for Friday. The classes now sched- uled are as follows: Wednesday—Race No. 1, 2:15 class purse $250; Race No. 2, 2:35 class, purse $225. Thursday—Race No. 3, 2:23 class, purse $250; Race No. 4, free-for-all, •purse $275. - The horses entered in the above events are all fast steppers, and it is a foregone conclusion that the races will be exciting and closely contested. Music. The music during the exhibition will be furnished by the Cape Vin- cent Fire Department Band. M. E. CHURCH NOTICES. Midweek Hour of Prayer, in the church parioi Wednesday evening at 7:80.

Going down the street a short time later, he will see a vase or some other object in a window, and that will remind him of an extraordi- nary dream that he had during the night he had believed- to be dreamless.
