The husbandmen were to give over to

the course that the Jews would persue
'with reference to his Son', yet lie had

would have such an expectation, much
more God has a reason anti a. right
to expect reverence for his Sm."-

husbandman knew that the last mes-

11, The opportmiity lost,
III. The destiny deterntlived.
I. The sin coannitted. This ramble
sets forth the sin and ruin et the Jew-
ish nation, represented as tenants une
der Cod the great Householder, lie
bad furni811ed them, with all thingS
needful to make them happy and, pros-
perous. lie compassed them about
with his special providence. Ile eta-
tablished for them a governinent. He
bestowdon them great mercies and
wrought great deliverances and mir-
acles for their benefit. His generous
Provision for their temporal and spir-
itual intereste involved corresporidinie
obligation, and yet they went from
bad to worse. •Their conduct showed
a graduation of wickedness in faith-
lessness to Clod and injustice to man.
The details of tire parable are min-
utely historic, The chief prieete and
scribes knew be spoke the parable
against them. It sbould have availed
to bring there to repentance, it sum-
med up Gie rebellious history Otis --
mei and its approaching doom. In
viewing the Lord's elaim, his right
teed authority were enquestionable.
Flis loving patience persisteA against
continued rebellion, 'Yet all along the
history Eland the dark records of mer-
cies deepised and prophets slain. The
accoont of servants sent again and

gives a faint picture of Gotre forbear-
etnee toward Israel. Prophets were
sent to call the eeevish nation to re-
Pentanee and to direct their attention
to the promises of a Messiah, yet tbe
rulers in every ago had been exasper-
ated lay these faitilful monitors, who
were in truth forerunners of Christ.
Tbeir conduct was an expression of
burning hatred toward God, which
was manifested in their rejection of

ting Jesus to death they 14ped to car-
ry all tetore them in the church and
to impose traditions and to force the
people to what submission they
would, Tlicy envied, hated and fear-
ed Jesus. • •
IL The opportunity lost. Lest of
all to make a final appeal, and one
stronger than all the rest, the sincere
will of God was expressed in 'sending
his Son to accomplish the work ot re-
demption and to give opportunity for
a change in the conduct of the rebel-
lious people. Man's freedom and re-
sponsibility were again put to the
test. Because Christ, in calling to re-
pentance, had made his demands with
more authority than had the prophets,
the rulers were more outranged and
determined to put him to death. The
judgment which followed their rejec-
tion was just, necessary and complete.
God did exactly what the natural con-
science of men decided ought to be
done. Jesus bad shown in parable
how he designee to set rip the gospel
church. In this parable be ehoWed
how he would set itside the
church
-
church and bulle upon its ruins. Their
sacred trust wAs transferee to other
peoples and nAtions elid they were
fearfullY Punished aS a nation. Their
denial of emits, contempt of -messen-
gers, renunciation of their Lord and
their plot against the -Heir were fol-
lowed by displacement, loss of the
vineyard and terrible ruin. Unfalai-
ful to their trust as• the appoiated
guardians over God's peculiar treas-
ure, they were destroyed as a flatten.
Their relation to Christ determined
their destiny.
ITT. The destiny determined. What
made their conduct so criminal was
that they sinned against light. The
conduct of. the scribes and Pharisees
on this occasion reveals the disgrace-
ful artifices which malice led them
t� employ. Turning from the parable
Jesus boldly asserted his own special
mission and authority and the judg-
ment which should overtake the guilty
nation, showing their crime to be the
refusal of him wbotn God meant to
be the chief cornerstone. He enlight-
ened thelr.conselences. He made them
see that he was fulfilling every detail
ef the Messiah's office and every pro-
phecy made of him. -T. R. A.

Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was essential-
ly a home woman, delighting in the

Edward and Margaret Axsen. She
was educated at Wag end at Woman's
College, Rome, Ga. he had a talent

in the Art Students' League in New
York.
Her devotioneee painting affordea
her much happiness and inspiration.
Last year she exhibited paintings and
several of them were purchased at a
public sale.
Mrs. Wilson had no interest in' wo-
maa suffrage, but she did devote much
of her time to social service.
The wedding of Woodrow Wilson
and Miss Axsen took place in Savan-
nah on July 24, 1885. Miser Axsen
Pati met Mr. Wilson when he was
practising law at Atlanta, Ga., in 1882.
They were married just after Mr. Wil-
son finished his post -graduate worlt

Four buildings were destroyed on the
edge of Casey Cobalt and the T. &

burned. Farmers have suffered
heavily along the line between. .this

BUSINESS BRISK
New York Reports Good Demand.
for Marine Insurance,
New York Report -Marine ' insur-
ance underwriters reported that the
European demand for American: manu-
factured goods had been anticipated by
several weeks. The demand for in-
surance on sbipments was brisk yes-
terday.
Every line of business was repre-
sented during the day, and nopro-
tests because of the high increases in
rates were heard, so long as insurance
could be obtained on any vessels no
flying the German flag. Shippers of
foodstuffs' were the most insistent for
insurance, while other lines of goods
were easier, including even cotton
cloths and clothing for France. One
'prominent insurance broker explained
that the ships generally had the idea
that ships insured their own goods.

the Frenchmen early in the day when

Heroic Doctor Crawls Through
Fire to Rescue Six.
Joplin, aro., Despatch -The thirty-
eight killed aud two score injured in
last night's wreck at Tipton Ford, ten
miles from here, when a Kansas City
Southern passenger train collided
with a Missouri & North Arkansas
gasoline motor car, were brought here
early. to -day.
Many of the dead and injured were
badly burned by the explosion of the
gasoline tank on the motor ear.
When the relief train arrived in the
early morning, the streets around tho
station were eeowded with people. A
cheer was given 'when Dr. Drury, of
Webb City, was taken from the relief
train, Drury, who, with his wife and
three children was aboard the wreaked
auto, was only slightly injured. He
quickly removed the wreckage and,
began a search for his familY, which
included a nine -months -old baby. He
found them buried under the back of
a seat, which was supported by' it sec-
ond seat. He got them from the car,
crawling on his hands and knees,
while fire was consuming all the
wreckage. All were severely burned,
but it is thought that they will alt re -
*over. -1/r. Drury trowled back into
the wreckage again, and rescued three
other persons. The wrecked train was
late, owing to a stoppage by a freight
train.
The motor ear was running on the
railroad's traeks, and evidently its
ere.w misundersiood the, orders to
meet the Passenger train at Tipton
Ford, for it ran past the station with.
out stopping. A mile south of the
town, the passenger, head on, met it.
The huge gasoline supply tank of the
ear's big meter burst, saturating the
impriserted passengers. Then the gas-
oline taught fire, Bodies of many of
the dead were almost -consumed by the
fire, and many persons, pinioned be-
neath wreekage, enstained severe
burns in addition to wounds.

HOG CHOLERA.
'y the co-operative work of control-

ing . rried on by the Federal Bureau
of .A4,..,nutl Industry and a number of
the states, an attempt has been made
to determine the source of infection.
wherever a heard was found to be in-
fected with hog cholera. It was, not
always possible to do this, and in quite
a few -eases there was some doubt as
to the exact way in which cholera had
gained entrance to the herds,
The reports of these investigations
were presented at it recent meeting of
the United States Live Stock Sanitary
Association, in Chicago. The sources
of infection -were divided into two
great classes, designated "distant" and
"near -by" sources. It was surprising
to learn that in forty-five per cent.
of the herds infected, the disease had
been spread front "distant" sources.
The remainder -tatty -five per cont. --
appeared to have been infected from
"near -by" sources,
In thirty-three per cent, of the cases
the infection. seemed to be due to the
visiting of neighbors, or the exchange
of work between neighboring farmers,
It has long been thought that this was
a common mode of carrying infection,
and the results of the Investigations
appear to verify it. Ilirde appear to
be guilty of spreading the infeetion in
more than one-fourth of the cases.

The Presence of pigweed is a good
indication of richness of soil.
Never use fresh, coarse manure.

Cultivation does not add water to
the soil, but it prevents that already

watches its action with different crops.
The best way to keep vegetables la

Winn.
Watering the garden in dry weath-
er Is apt to do more harm than good.
Never allow the ground to become
baked. When In. this condition con-
siderable moisture is unnecessarily
lost. 'Cultivation conserves moisture,
but 'when the ground is dry the culti-
vator teeth must not run too deep.
Keep the top soil stirred only,
Much of the labor required in prun-
ing peach trees during ,the winter may
be avoided bY judicious summer prun-
ing. The soft young suckers which
tend to fill up the centres of the trees
may be easily rubbed off if done at
the right time. Remember that sur-
plus wood requires just so much.more
time to spray properly and extra spray
material.
A black soil owes its eolor to the
Presence of organic matter. This
means that the soil is well supplied
with nitrogen. In some black soils
there is an excess of noxious salts, as
in the case of "black alkali" soils.
There is no reason why a meadow
should not produce good crops of hay
suitable for dairy cattle or local mar-
kets during 10 years or more, if it is
started with deep and thorough plow-
ing for corn or potatoes and clean cul-
tivation of these crops, prompt ar-
vesting, plowing again, and an appli-
cation of 1,500 pounds of lime.
Keep a box filled with rock salt
where horses ca a reach it at all times.
It can be nailed to the feed troughs.
No practical horseman or farmer
will keep his colts confined in close,
unventilated, dark, filthy stables. It
is cruelty to dumb animals, and is not
a good practice from a dollars and
cents standpoint.
Young colts should be hatter broken
and taught to lead, as this renders
them much more tractable and easily

separable from weaning, and also faci-
litates housing when the accommo-
dations are limited.
