. FRONT OF THE CHURCH OF THE ALAMO, A TEXAN AND NATION- ^ AL SHRINE. INTERIOR OF THE ALAMO. Here Travis, Crockett, Bowie and their men, 190 in all, fought to the death against Santa Ana's Mexican Army. The names of visitors have been written on almost every square inch of the sacred walls, some climb ing almost to the roof to scribble t h e i r tribute of mixed vanity and respect. Combination Poker. A much-needed addition to the kitchen poker is supplied in the com bination poker and clinker hook shown here, a device which will claim many supporters. The large clinkers in the coal fire defy all efforts to dislodge them with the common poker. Even the addition of a little profanity fails to help matters, but fowl which is beautifully plumed. The nape of the neck is covered with short velvet like brown down, and the lower part has long, lanceolate (lowing feathers of white, black and blue. The breast and sides are of a beautiful metallic blue, the middle of the abdomen black and the flanks dull pink with numerous spots of white circled with black. The usual American fowl is the pearl variety. Tlyre is as yet no standard of perfec tion set for the Guinea in this coun try, as the birds are not recognized by the American poultry association. Breaks Clinkers. the job can be done thoroughly with the instrument shown here. This •combination of poker and clinker hook consists of a t u b u lar shank hav ing a hook and a gripper at one end. The hook is stationary, but the grip per, having a sharpened point, slides Into the tube. If the hook falls to remove the obtrusive clinker, the gripper is released, the point contact ing with the clinker and breaking it. Attached to the gripper, within the tube, Is a spring, which forces the gripper toward the hook. A twist of the handle is all that h} required to release the gripper.— Washington Star. Pen and Pencil Holder. If your duties compel the constant use of pens and pencils, you will at once want to secure the pen and pencil holder shown in the illustra tion. The inventor, an Arkansas man, has hit upon a very simple and useful method of combining these two very necessary desk implements so that either or both are ready for immediate service. By using this holder the unsightly habit of sticking the pencil over the back of the e a r . while using the pen, or vice versa, is rendered unnecessary. The pencil and the penholder fit Into two small clamps attached to a ring, the latter being slipped over the finger. These clamps a re pivoted a t one point to the ring.

In continental Europe, however, large ^ 3 establishments with the pencil and desires to use the pen, he merely swings the pen around In a half circle, and it Is ready for use. The device is equally useful where two pens are needed, each for different colored Ink. It obviates the necessity of laying one down to use the other. Any one doing clerical work will instantly recognize the time thus saved. As a novelty this little device Is one of the best ever pro duced from the Patent Office.— Wash ington Star, Quite Well. When John Quincy Adams was eighty years of age he met in the streets of Boston one day an old friend, who shook the venerable statesmau's hand and said: \Good morning, and how Is John Quincy Adams to-day’ ’’ “Thank you,’’ was the ex-Presl- dent’s answer, “John Quincy Adams himself Is well, sir; quite well, I thank you. But the house In which he lives at present Is becoming dilap idated. It ts tottering upon Us foun dation. Time and the seasons have nearly destroyed It. Its roof Is pretty well worn out, Its walls are much shattered, and It trembles with every wind. The old tenement Is becoming almost uninhabitable, and I think John Quincy Adams will have to move out of It soon. But he himself la quite well, sir; quite well.’* With that the venerable sixth Pree- the United States moved on, •Id ol hie eUS.—National SCHOOL. INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM- MENTS FOR NOV. 17 RY THE REV. I. W. HENDERSON. Subject: Gideon and His Three Hun dred, Judges 7:9-2:$ — Golden Text, Dent, .*$-22 — Memory Verses, 17, 18. The lesson deals with one of the famous characters of Israelitish his tory. It etemplifles how powerful a few Spirit-filled souls may he in the face of seemingly insuperable diffi culties. It shows how thoroughly God can help us, how thoroughly He keeps His word. It Is a revelation of what we all might do if we so de sired. When the armies met Gideon was outnumbered. When the battle be came imminent he was in a hopeless minority. It was a handful against a multitude. But the 300 were Spirit filled, divinely chosen, consecrated. They were without fear, they had courage. And because they had cour age and faith in Almighty God, be cause they had trust in the capacity of their God to deliver the Midianites into their hands they were victorious, ^nd they won by the simplest ami easiest of means. They didn’t even have to use their weapons. Their bravery brought consternation to the hearts of the enemy and the rout be came complete. They were stout hearted and victorious because they were indwelt of the presence of God. God had promised to deliver Mid- ian into the hands of Israel. And He kept His word. Without His help the conflict might have resulted dif ferently. But when God helped the victory was assured. It didn’t make any difference whether or not the Midianites and Amalekites were like the grasshoppers for number and their camels as numerous as the sands of the seas when God gave promise and aid. In t h a t contingen cy numbers were a secondary quanti- iy and great supplies inconsequen tial. For their power was augmented by the personality of God. Their strength was in no sense dependent upon the commissariat. Gideon earned a reputation for consummate intrepidity that night. His 300 consecrated, divinely com missioned followers enshrined them selves for all time. Their dauntless ness has become historic. They are the epitome of daring. They are sy nonymous with surpassing fearless ness. Now what Gideon did in his way any consecrated soldier of the Lord Jesus Christ may do according to his opportunity and his power. The t r o u ble is that most of us are like the 20,000 and more who went back to their tents. We are without the necessary courage. We are too much consumed with fear. We don't dare to dare. And no man can do any- thing who lacks heart, who hasn't nerve. No man certainly can war against the principalities and powers of the empire of unrlghteousn<?Ss whe has no faith in God, and who Is lack ing in a necessary trust in divinity But putting our faith and trust in Jehovah we may do anything. Foi God trusts those who sincerely put their trust in Him. He has faith in the faithful. It could not be other wise. And with Him with us we need fear no obstacles. Whatevei may he the difficulties and oppositions that confront us He will guarantee us the victory if we will do His will. And we shall find that His methods are the simplest. We shall find how utterly cowardly and inefficient are the forces t h a t oppose us and how lit tle it takes to put them altogether tc rout. The lesson ought to be an inspira tion to every man who in the name and for the glory of God and the con servation of the interests of human ity wars against wickedness in any place. It ought especially to be an .inspiration to those who have banded themselves to fight the plunderers ir every walk of life are laying plans tc rob the people of their birthrights, as Midian attacked Israel, or who al ready have annexed to themselves the properties and the possessions of the people. For as sure as God lives il we do God's will we shall confound them all. And by the most unex pected and simple methods. And it will need hut a few valiant souls tc do it. A host is no more necessary to-day than it was t h a t famous night when Gideon led the 300 against the multitude. It is necessary that 'wo shall have faith in God. That we shall band to gether the men whom God has fitted to do His holy work. It is necessary that we shall lake our orders fron, that Spirit of t r u th who is the light of the world and the salvation there of and do His bidding and remain steadfast. For God is helping us. God has promised us victory as truly as He promised victory to Gideon, Whehever wo get discouraged Ipt us look at Gideon. When we are in clined to doubt God’s capacity and promise fulfilling power let us read anew what He did for Israel and fot the endless fame of Gideon. When we think we are few against the hosts of sin t h a t are oppressing us let us receive courage from the victory He insured for Israel. For He is with us as He was with them. If we trust Him He will trust us. If we will have faith in Him He will glorify us. For the God of yesterday is the eame to-day and forever. i Mortgage Loans •y I wish to announce that I now own and control the three beautiful properties at Freeport, L.
