Frankie McKinney's "Hurrah for
Malone"

The Richmond State says: FRANKIE
Mckinney, the little daughter of Gov.
Mckinney, is a few years older than Rnth
Cleveland, and If the latter Young lady is
as bright and quick as the small one who
dominates the Virginia gubernatorial
mansion, she will make the White House
lively winter after next.
ut is related that on one occasion
frankie Mckinney was rather obsteperous
at the dinner table. Her father warned
her if she did not stop he would send her
away. The offence was repeated and she
was ordered away from the table. She
toddled of, and as she reached the door
she TUNED around, looked firmly at Gov.
Mckinney and the assembled company,
and waving her hand deiantly over her
head said: 'Hurrah tor Mabonev

THE SOMA IL the Aryan religion
PLANT gods was the fo y
juice of the Soma or Moon plant, which,
being strong drink, gave new excite
ment to those who partoOk OF it, and as
believed to impart power to the gods. 1t
was believed, moreover, that it wrought
miracles, and fer this reason, perhaps, 1t
afterwards became the chief god OF the
Hindus. In a vcdic hymn the worshiper
says:
We've quaffed the Soma bright,
Aud are immortal grown;
We've entered into light,
And all the gods have known.
What mortal now can harm,
Or foeman vex rs more
Through thee beyond alarm,
Immortal God We soar"
No such power as this is attributed to
any plant az the present time, aud yet
many of the cures performed by $. 5. S., a
purely vegetable remedy, seem almost to
border on the miraculous. In contagious
blood poison, scrofula, skin diseases, some
forms of cancer, ETC., it is the remedy par
excellence.

"In God We Trust. "
THE ORIGIN OF THE FAMILIAR MOTTO
FIRST STAMPED on A TWO CENT PIECE.
From the ST. IOnis ReDnblic.

From the st. Lonis Republic.
The motto, ain God We Trnst," which is
now stamped upon all gold and silver
coins Of the United States, was suggested
by an old farmer living in Mary land -
This conscientious Christian gentleman
thought that our currency shonld indicate
IN some way the Christian character of
our nation, which, he argued, could be
best done by putting motto npon our
coins expressing a national reliance on
Divine support in governmental AFFAIR."
1t was in 1861, when S. p. Chase was
Secretary of the Treasury, that this man
first wrote to Washington respecting his
pet aid, His letter was referred to Mint
Director Pollock, who discussed the ques-
ton in his report of 1862.
Pollock and Chase were IN favor of
introducing the motto at once, bnt Con
gress gave the suggestion no attention
whatever. In his next annual report
Director Pollock again referred to the
matter, this time in firm theological
argument, saying;l"The motto suggested,
God Our Trust is taken from our national
hymn. 'The Star Spangled Banner; the
sentiment is familiar to every citizen Of
our country; the time Is propitions; IT'S
an hour OF national peril. Let us rever-
emily acknowledge His sovereignty, ana
let our coinage declare our trust in God. ,"
A cent bronze piece was authorized
by Congress to be coined the following
year, aud on April %, 1861, the first
United States coin was stamped with the
legend, ain God We Trust"

soon we saw lots of animals, about the
