''Thc mills Of the gods grind slowly,

The sanguinary three days Battle Of Tho
/, Nations had been fought at Leipzig and Ma

army back to France. Among the thousands
of corpscs on the broad plain lay also, pale
and stark, that of many brave German stu
dent who had hastened enthusiastically tC
the defence of king and country
From Halle, too, the French had fled.
A singular scene was enacted there one
beautiful afternoon shortly after the expulsion
of the invader. The students were collected
in front Of the university, and had formed
themselves into two long lines, leaving but a
narrow space between. All carried some
thing hidden beneath their NANTES. The
ncighboring windows, balconies and prone
nades were throngcd with spectators, appa-
rently in the happest frame ofmnd and eager
to witness what was TO ensue.
Suddenly door was opened, and two 81.

terrified face, around which a wild, red beard
was shivering spasmodically.

And without deigning to bestow another

The Fishers rested till 1S59-four years
and came back furnishing. They got thcil
claim removed from the treasury to the wal
office, where q man Of their own sort was in
authority--John b. Floyd, Of peculiar re-
nown Floyd figured at it and decided that
nearly threefourths of the damage was done
| by the United, States troops--On what evil
dence, God knows. SO he paid the Fishers a
fraction under 100000, and so appeased them
for little while. The Originally worthless
Fisher farm had now yielded the heirs nearly
$4,000 in cash.
The Fishers kept away Just two years and
then swarmed in upon Floyd once more.
They brought their same old, musty docu,
ments, but largely improved with erasures
and interlneation (Which forgeries were
known to Floyd whereby the values of many
of the articles in the list of the destroyed pro.

averse to the suppositon of any disturbance
of the general face of the country by volcanic
action within the historic period OF the earth.
And this testimony of the biologists il fully
confirmed by the record here in the 10Th of
Genesis, and in other places, that the destruc-
tiOn Of the cities of the plain was not by eth
er overflow of water or volcanic fire from be-
meath, at least as the first cause, though prob
ably natural agents combined with super
natural here. For saith the record: THE
Lord rancd upon SodOm birthstone and fire
from the Lord out of heaven" And through
out the New Testament this judgment by fire
on Sodom is taken as a type and illustra
ton Of the coming final judgement by fire
on the whole earth Said Jesus Christ: The
same day that Lot went out of Sodom, II rain
ed fire and birthstone from heaven and des
trOyed them all Even thus shall it be when
the Son of man shall be revealed" And the
Apostles Peter and Jude represent this des
truction by fire as an example of what God
will do to the ungodly when the destruction
Of the world by fire shall come. So that in
this instance again the:record in Genesis is
shown to need no critical manipulation in or
der to bring it in harmony with historical
facts and the facts of real science. Strabro
the ancient geographer, over two thousand
years ago, describing this wonderful lake, re-
hearses the traditions of the cities that once
stood in the valley that it covers. And Taci-
tus, that bitter foe of both Jews and Chris
tians, records the traditions Of his time con-
corning the lightnings that fell from heaven
upon the devoted valley. And so on in one
uniform testimony from the ancient histori
ans on through all the explorations of modern
science down to Lieut.. Lynch, of the Amcri
can navy, in our own day, is the fact attested
that on this spot which we haye been consid
ering must have occurred some dreadful cat
astrophe such as Moses describes

THE STUDENTS PLOT.
BY GEORGE KAYE.


The battle fields of Saalfed and Jena were
still red and damp with the noblest blood of
Germany, when Bernadottc, ON the 18th of
October, 1906, crushed the last few and fag'

ing day, the conqueror Napoleon would enter
this celebrated home of the muses..
A youth and maiden were parting at the
gate Of a rcctory, just without the town. The

handsome, manly fellow of twenty. He was

A passionate kiss, long lingering EN-

Bertha returned sorrowfully Ia the old rec

BIDDY'S PHILOSOPHY,

What would do if you was dead?
And when DO you think of dying?
I'd stand by your bed, and hold your head
And cry, or pretend to be crying
There's many worser man nor YOU
If one knew where to find him
And mebbe many better, too,
With money to leave behind him.
But you, if | was dying to-day
Il saw you now when you kissed her.
tell you, Pat, what you'd be at
You'd marry your widdy's sister,
You'd make an Elegant corpse, indadc,
Sleeping SO sound and sIiddy:
If you could see yourself as you laid,
You'd want to come back to Biddy!
You would be dressed i'm your Sunday best,
As tidy as could make you!
With n sprig OF something on your breast -
And the boys would come to wake you.
But you if | was dead in your stead
do you think never missed hero
/ tell YOU Pat, what you'd be at
You'd marry your widdy's sister!
The undertaken would driye the hcarse
That has the big black feather:
If there was no money left in your purse,
Your friend, would club together
They'd look at your cold remains before
They'd follow you down to the ferry;
And the coaches standing at the door
Would 90 10 the cemetery!
But you, If | was once in the box
Il wonder her lips don't blister,
] tell you, Pat, what you'd be at
You'd marry your widdy's sister,
When you was under the sod I'd sigh
And-if could do without you,
Mebbe I've strapping lad in my eye
Would come here and talk about YOU,
little courtin would be diVertin,
A KIND voice whispering " Bddy"
And kiss on the sly-for what's the hurt in
mans consOing widdyg
But you, before was dead at all
Now don't deny that you kissed herr,
tell you, Pat what you'd be at
You'd marry your widdy's sister!
