in the prayers, listens to the sermons,
drops his offering in the plate, goes

And, should there happen on Mon

Shake hands with some one the
next time you go to church. If you
see a stranger near you, reach out
your hand, say "GoOd morning, |
am glad to see you and hope you will
come again. If there is some one
there who is not acquainted with the
pastor, ask him to wait and be in
troduced to him, and you wait and
see that it is done. If your pastor
has helped you by his sermon, stop
and tell him so, and il will do him
good. 1t will not spoil him. He
will preach better the next time. See
if he does not. Shake hands with
the sexton if there is no one else con-
veDient, but don't fold your hands
and steal away like heather. Touch
some one and put some heart in the

CneriSh1ng Evil Thoughts.

Every man who has lived long
enough to know much about himself
or the world in which he lives, real
ICES that he is in danger. not so much
from the temptations which enter
into him. so to speak, as from the
temptations which ne enters into. 1t
is not the evil thoughts which fit
into the heart and out again that in
jures the man it is the thought for
which he makes place. which he
purses and reVerts to, again and
again, entering, so to speak, the
secret cha smbers of its foul recesses.
1t seems at first sight very strange
that any one should deliberately and
of set purpose enter into tempta-
tion, and yet we are inclined to think
that no man ever yet fell into griev-
Gus sin who did not first, with more
or less deiiberation, hiiow nfnseir TO-
be tempted to that sin. He who
never coquets with Satan never comes
under his dominion. In view of
these thoughts, we see the supreme
importance Of our Lords command
to watch and pray that ye enter not
into temptation" If we enter not
into temptation, temptation will not
enter into us. It's not always neces-
sary even to resist the devil. If we
avoid him ana keep out of his wax,
there will be little danger Of coming
within his spell. Golden Rule.

Philip Henry Sheridan was a native of
Perry county, Ohio, the son ofIrish parents
and West Point graduate of'53 He served
in Texas and Oregon, and was made captain
in 1861. In May, 1892, he was made colonel
of the Second Michigan Cavalry, OF which
Gen. Alger was then an officer, and before
the year was out he was q major general.
His services as chief Of cavalry OF the army
Of the Potomac are too well known TO need
recital now, and his famous ride TO Win
chester is immortalized in history and in
song The campaign against Richmond in
1854 was furthered by his destructive raids
on Lees communications, and he did much
in the events that led up TO the close of the
war.
After the war he was in Louisiana and
Texas, enforcing Reconstruction" and in
1869 he was made acknowledgement Of the
United States army His headquarters
were at Chicago, until Gen. Sherman's re
tirement made him the highest officer in the
army, when he became located at Washing
ton. lie was popular, courteous officer,
well-liked socially, leading Catholic and
very charitable.

the glory which cnvelops the name OF Sheri-

Blair he soon gave the enemy taste OF his

drove out of northern and western
Tennessee. The Second regiment was
raised at Grand Rapids, and X. A Alger
was one of its captains Such achieve
ments led to promotion, and Sheridan was
made brigadier and major general before
the close Of 1882. The great cavalry battle
of Bonneville, Miss, was fought on July l,
1862. In that battle his great ability was
strikingly shown. He dispatched Capt.
Alger with two companies, by devious,
circuituous road to attack Chalmers in
flank and rear. At the moment Alger
struck the enemy in the flank, Gen. Sheri-
day caused the locomotives which had just
hauled in supply train 10 blow their whis-
ties. The moral effect of a flank attack is
even more serious than the actual contest.
When, therefore, Chalmers was attacked
by Alger with his small force and heard the
scream of the locomotives at his front, APP
parently betokening endorsements, he
beat a hasty retreat, and the battle was
won. Capt. Alger was wounded and left on
the field.
Stone River and Mission Ridge gave
Sheridan other laurels, which he bore with
his usual unassuming and modest manner

Death of q Well Known Man.

John II. Harmon, the veteran newspaper
man and politician, whose name is known
in every crossroads in Michigan, died at
the Michigan Exchange in Detroit on the
9th inst.
He was born in Portage county, Ohio.
When only 10 years old he came TO Detroit
and received a position as printer in the
Free Press Office. Subsequently he gradu-
ated into the editorial department and later
became partner in the ownership OF the
paper. Shortly after his arrival in Detroit
his democracy led him to Join in the "Pa-
triot War" against Canada. The expedition
which he Joined was not successful. There
were too many British troops at Windsor.
During his career as publisher and jour
nalist he ventured into politics. Ho was
elected an alderman of Detroit in 1S4S and
mayor in 1923. In 1883 President Pierce
appointed him collector of the port OF De.
troit. After his retirement from that office
owing to his familiarity with public affairs,
he found it to his interest to live in Wash
ington and follow the profession of a lobby
ist. In this occupation he was highly sue
cessful.

Sketch Of HIS Career.

Gen. Sheridan died suddenly at Nonquitt,
Mass, on the 9Th inst Death resulted
from the old heart trouble which had never
been successfully arrested.
The General was removed from Washing
ton to Nonquitt some time ago in tho hope
that the sea air would prove beneficial. and
his condition steadily improved until few
days before his death, when there was Q
halt. Until few days before his death he
was able TO ait up and read the proof sheets
Of his memoirs, but no continued TO grow
weaker. The physicians became anxious
and held q counsel, but said nothing q
alarm the family or the republic. They die
all they could, however, TO avert the blow
but he sank rapidly, losing consciousness
toward the end, and died at IL O'Clock on
the night of the 9th inst
