His Last Journey.

At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
friends and brother Knights of the
late Frank NJ. Strout assembled at the
store Of A. Il. Campbell d Co., TO pay
their last offices TO the memory Of the
deceased. The remains 10 charge of
the knights Were tenderly placed
within the hesrse, and accompanied
by friends and old-timera who knew
thedepsrted years ago who filed behind
aud escorted the ca-ket to the depot
in time for The east bound train. This
act of courtesy was short 10 the action
but it was conceived by a feeling Of re-
gard for what the deceased had been
and the lonely situation that circum-
stances had brought about-away from
near relatives and immediate friends.
The body was shipped direct TO John
Crosby, Of 81. Cloud, the fsther.in-lRw
who t~elegfaphed TO zee that everything
was done that could be and that he
would bury the body Ia that place
along with Franks departed wife. We

of the many kindnesses that were
shown TO the departed before and after
his demise-more particularly by Mr..

of Mr.. Clark's defeat, s he and q great

Judas and His Master.

NJ. D. Conway in North American Review.
Disraeli's championship of Judas,
as self sacrificing disciple willing to
be accursed through all time in order
to complete conditions necessary for
human salvation. remains a monu.
ment of his audacity and Christian
lied cynicism. His remorseless logic.
however. has long been felt. Various
theories have sought to vindicate the
divine purity from the appearance OF
having prearrangetl and required such
baseness and treason for its ends.
These are signs of the advancing
ethical spirit which is humanizing
Christianity. The enthroned Christ
seems to ne laying aside the crown
once more, and becoming a plain
workman. His human life, sympa-
thy, radicalism, are dwelt on. AS
Jesus has been reinvested with hui
manity, so may the diabolized figure
OF Judas; the same humanity includes
him and the teacher he is said to have
betrayed. An artist once painted a
lovely child as an infant Jesus. Twen-
ty years later, having to paint the
''Last Supper" he found model for
his Judas in an imprisoned murderer.
As he scrutinized the face ofhls Judas
it grew familiar, and he ultimately
found that his Jesus and Judas repre-
sented the childhood and manhood of
the same person,

A Black Sign And What II
Boots.

Ionce heard successful business
man, the head of a large concern, de-
clare that he never engaged a man or
boy who presented himself with un-
cleaned boots. "Shabby clothes may
be q misfortune" he added. "but
muddy boots are fault" The same
notion is held, l have been told, by
the principal of celebrated private
school, who is accustomed to remind
his scholars that he who fails to black
his boots in the morning can scarcely
preserve his self-respect uninpared.
An eccentric friend Of mine used to
maintain that every bootblack on the
streets is. so far forth, a guarantee of
order and stability in government.
History will bear me out in the as
sertion," he would go on to say, "that

Skeletons In a Kentucky

two.hundred-acre farm, and unearth.
ed six skeletons, which were buried
with their feet tapping together
around a small circle in the cen.
ter. In the center was grow.
ing an oak tree. supposed to be $50
years old. The boys exhumed with
the skeletons some mica and a large
war club which had petrifed. Many
of the bones crumbled when exposed
to the air, but the jaw and thigh
bones remained intact. 1t is thought
that this is the battle ground of some
prehistoric race that came here long
before the American Indian, and that
the several mounds contain those
slain in battle.
