day the $50 held out against these
thousands. Tennyson's 600" when
some one had blundered." were
eclipsed by these 100 fighting for the
holy cross. They took hold of the lances
which had pierced them with death
wounds and, pulling them out of their
own breasts and side, hurled them back
again at the enemy. On vent the fight
until all but one Christian had fallen
and he,. mounted on the last horse,
welded his battle axe right and left till
his horse fell under the plunge of the
javelins and the rider, making the sign
of the cross toward the sky, gave up his
life on the point of a score of spears.
But soon after the last battle came.

that wooden. cross Oh which Jesus was
said to have expired. Now the wooden
cross on which the armies of the
Christians had kept their eye began to
waver, begins to descend. 1t falls! and
the wailing of the Christian most at its
disappearance browns the huzzah of the
victorious Moslems.
But hat standard OF the cross only
seemed to fall. 1t rides the sky to-day
in triumph. Five hundred million souls,
the mightiest army of the ages. are fol-
lowing it and whore hat goes they will
go, across the earth and up the mighty
sleeps of the heavens. In the twelfth
century it seemed to go down, butt in the
nineteenth century it is the mightiest

trampled on the plain of Esdraelon
l lift to-day for your marshalling. The
cross! the cross! The foot of it planted
in the earth it saves, the top of it
pointing in the Heavens to which it
will take you, and the outspread beam
of it like outstretched arms of invita-
ton to all nations. Kneel at its foot.
Lift your eye to its victim. Swear eter-
nal allegiance to it's power. And as
that mighty symbol Of pain and triumph
Is kept before US, we will realize how
insignificant are the little crosses we
are called upon to bear, and will more
cheerfully carry them.

A IN a NAME2

II It Happens to Be McGInty There IL =
Great Deal I'm It.
"It's all right to say there is nothing
in q name; that "a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet and all that kind
OF thing, but / tell you there is a good
deal in a oognomen," said q friend OF
mine the other day.
My friend rejoices in the popular-or
overpopular name OF McGinty. He
lives in Lake View, where he is we'll
known. A few days ago he went to a
large toy house downtown and pur-
chased q fine hobby-horse for his little
boy for a birthday present. Much to the
disappointment OF both McGinty senior
and junior, the present did not arrive at
the appointed time.
So, the following day. my friend went
to the store, and, approaching a sales
man, he related the facts in the case
and demanded an explanation OF the az
fair. The salesman promised to look
into the matter.
by the way" he said to my friend,
'what is you name?'
"McGinty," was the answer
A look. Of unutterable anguish fitted
over the face of the clerk. He tried his
best not TO laugh. but the effort was not
q complete success. He thought he was
being made the victim of a worn-ou
joke, but at the same time he didn't like
to take the chances of making a cus-
toner angry. So he called a boy and
told him to go to the shipping-ofice and
find put If there was an undelivered
hobby-horse there.
"Who for?" asked the youth.
"Mr. McGinty," was the answer.
The effect on the boy was electrical.
his thumb flew to his nose, and as he
pranced off his fingers executed a wild
movement in the air, with his nasal
organ as the base of operations.
McGinty waited as long as q man
under the circumstances could be ex-
pected to linger. and then, seeing that
the boy was not going to see about the
purchase, approached another salesman,
Again the trouble was explained, the
effect being as before. At different
times during the two hours he was there
he told his tale Of woe to every clerk in
the department but one, an old man.
Finally he Q up to this individual.
my name is J. b. McGinty," he be-
gan, and then he explained his business.
This man took him seriously, and, not
being able to get a boy to go, went him
self to the shipping-room, where he
found that the shipping clerks had hesi-
tated so long about sending a good
hobby-horse ito the bottom Of the sea"
that they had not mad any attempt at
all to deliver it. The circumstance was
explained to them, and the horse went
out on the next wagon, and finally
reached McGinty, Jr.
So the comedy ended all right, but
nevertheless you can't convince my
friend that there's naught in a name"

AN EXCELLENT BARGAIN.
The Purchase of Louisiana from the Gov
ernment of France

ia ~ NlAo NoN-
ernment of France.
Bonaparte, on behalf of France, to
which country the territory belonged,
sold Louisiana to the United States in
1903. during the presidency Of Thomas
Jefferson. because ~ be was aware that
IL he attempted to retain 1t 1t would be
wrested from him, either by the United
States or by England, and because (2) he
needed the $15, 900, 900 which the United
States paid him for it to aid him in his
wal against England and her allies.
The United States thus cane into Dos
session OF about 900, 900 square miles of
territory, or about 80, 900 square miles
more han the domain of the original
thirteen States. That is to say, the &C.
QUESTION of the Territory of Louisiana
more than doubled the national area.
OF course, the present State of Louisiana
formed only a small part of this tori
tory. 1t extended from the Gulf Of
Mexico north to the Canadian line, the
Mississippi river being it's eastern
boundary, while it stretched along the
Gulf westward to the Spanish possessions
at the Sabine river, and along it's north
erly end 1t reached westward to the Pa
cifc. The territory included the pres
ent State of Louisiana, Arkansas, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Ne
braska, South and North Dakota, part
Of Colorado, Wyoming and Montana, all
OF Idaho, Oregon and Washington, and
the Indian Territory. There was a dis
pute between the United States and
Great Britain as to the ownership of
what is now Oregon and Washington,
but British claims to those regions were
eventually renowned. The territory
added to the United States in 1913, as a
result of the Mexican war, was about
523, 900 square miles in area.-St. LouiE
