Mr.. EDIToR:-Please pardon me

thing 10 say. IL is this Amid all
the trials of life, in the manifest in
humanity of man making countless
thousand mourn, il really does one
gpod-makes you feel ike shouting
glory hBlIeluj al" to see some nota-
bic and heroic principal in our race.
These thoughts were suggested by
reading al account of the rescue of
the crew If the D4nmsrk. No one,
who has never gone down TO the
sea in ships can properly apprecia e
the terrors of the deep aud the over
whelmIng sense of our own inherent
weakness. To those who have exper-

you with an impenetrabie gloom-bu!
o. the dark aud starless night. The
roar of the water, the deep unearthly
thud, ihud of the ponderous machin-
ery, the rolling and tossing of the
great ship, the mufiied voice of the
c:pIain who, night and day walks un-
attended and alone the bridge that
spans his vessel with only the presence
of the invisible One, whose ship he is
directing to the harbOr of safety.
How We rely upon our captain as We
mutely sit in the dismal hold, the
matches mad, fast above US and can
vassed-living, yet entombed. We
who walk upon the earth are in the
habit of looking upon death and
eternity as some vague something n
great way off. This Is because the
earth seems immovabIe beneath our
feet. But try tine deck of the great
ocean steamer. Everything seems
fine while she lies motionless at her
pier, but wait. Now she is in mid
ocean, no land-nO earth to be seen.
How unstable; the waves seem 10 play

What must have been the feelings

it becomes only q matter of a few

A WEARY SEARCH.
Missouri Negro Searches
Twenty-Three Years for
His Family.

Many of the readers of the BAzoo
know Jim Lindsey, a colOred porter
on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas rail
way, but few know Of the romance in
which Jim's father is the hero. 1t is
tale of patient waiting and search
ing that is only surpassed by that of
the pathetic story Of Evangeline. The
narrative Is one that could be woven
into the chapters of a
novel. for, although his skin
is dark the hero IS hero still. At
the outbreak of the civil war a colOred
family bs the name of Lindsey, con-
sisting of man and wife with three
children, girl and two boys, were
sold into slavery at Independence. Mo.
At the close of the war the father
made up mis- mind that he would de-
vote the balance of his life to discover
the whereabouts of his family. For
the past twenty-three years he had
that sole object in view. He has
travelled and worked, bearing the
brand of innumerable hardships. to
accomplish his purpose. In Missouri
a few weeks ago the old man obtained
the first clew TO the whereabouts of
his son Allen, who was reported by
white man to he at Paris, Tex. The
old man worked his way to Paris and
there met his son Allen. The old
man was 80 beside himself with JOY
that he embraced and kissed his son
and wept like a child.
Through Allen he learned that the
other son, named Jim, had been q
porter on the Missouri, Kansas Il
Texas railway for a number of years,
and that the only remaining child,
Amanda, was married and living in
the country within five miles of Deni-
son. The old man left Paris and
came to Denison, where he met his
SOD Jim, and made himself known.
For a few moments Jim was 10th to
believe that it was his father, from
whom he had been separated for over
years. Leaving Jim the
old man started for the country on
foot, where he met his daughter,
Amanda, With whom he is spending a
few days. The dearest object of ali
his wanderings, the wife, is yet to be
found, and the old man declares that
he will devote the remaining years of
his life in ferreting her out.

Inside Points on Gentle Spring,
Caught on the Fly.

Our sidewalks are undergoing the
transition period as regards the snares
they afford to unwary pedestrians. As
the warm sun comes to Danish the mud
from under foot, the awning like a
lowering cloud descends in collision
with the tall hat and umbrella.
Wouldn't your front door sunshade,
Mr., Storekeeper, serve as efiectually,
if placed little higher up, and were
extended farther out over the side
walk?
No branch of the shoe trade is
steadier now than trade in base ball
shoes and inthe stores the summer stock
is already displayed. "They will be
no cheaper" said the shoe DEALER,
"but they will be better. Here is our
dollar and a quarter shoe. You see
the difference. 1t laces clear to the
tip and combines the ideas of the
bicycle and the walking shoe with
that of the base ball shoe. They will
hit more sizes of instep, of course, they
are easy as stockings themselves"
The locsl dealers say that the felt bot
toned shoe is sure to be big favor
tie this season, on the tennis court, and
that they are having lots of calls for
them.

attorney general and the postmaster gen,
eral were named on Sept. PC. The office
OF the secretary of the navy was created
in 1898. Fifty years elapsed after the
creation of the office of secretary of the
navy until that of secretary of the interior
was brought into existence, and forty
years passed subsequently, before the de
partment of agriculture was formed. The
cabinet, which has heretofore for many
years comprised seven persons, will now
consist of eight.

THE Ogden Standard in commenting
on an article concerning the proposed
Sioux City & Pacific road which appeared
in The LEADER, says: The proposed
Pacific Short Line system owns much
land-mostly carrying coal-In Wyoming,
and is known here as the Wyoming East
ern. 1t will traverse every county in the
territory from east to west, and has already
a right of way for many miles west Of
Fort Laramie along the north bank Of the
Platte. With the Northwestern it will
open up Wyoming in fine shape"

1t begins to look like a favorably well
settled fact that Senator Teller will re-
ceive the post folio of the interior depart
ment at the hands of P~resident-elec.
Harrison. Teller is one Of the very few
men who has not been thrown into in
nocuous desuetude by a cabinet appoint
ment. He held the post of secretary OF
the interior under President Arthur, but
at the expiration Of his term of office
was Just as strong a political possibility
as ever. He was returned to the senate
without much difficulty and the fact hat
he is again 50 prominently mentioned for
a cabinet position is certainly highly COM
plimentary.
The appointment of Senator Teller
would give the Colorado legislature the
second opportunity it has had this session
OF filling a vacancy in the office of United
States senator. Among the gentlemen
mentioned in this connection are Willard
Teller, ex-Governor Routt, Judge Symes,
Geo. NJ. Chilcott and Governor Cooper.
The first named gentleman would prob
ably have the inside track. He is a
prominent Denver lawyer and brother of
the present senator. Wolcott in his re-
cent contest had strong backing from the
Teller influence and would undoubtedly
rcciprocate should Willard Teller enter
the lists as it now seems probable that he
will.
The selection of Senator Teller as secre-
tary of the interior would give great
satisfaction in the West as the senator
thoroughly understands the difficulties I'M
der which the settler labors and would
be disposed to render him complete JUS
ice.
