AkENTuCKY BREAKFAST,
Henry watterson EuIichtens n Bcnighted
Chicago Chef

Chicago Cher
Never before had Chef Phillips of the
Auditorium hotel in Chicago been non
plussed when asked to prepare a meal.
From cold lunch to Luculian banquet
he had been at home And the details OF
every conceivable dish he had imagined
he possessed at his fingers ends. But
when on the morning following the
arrival of Henry Watterson the bell-boy
appeared before the chef and told him that
MIR Watterson wanted n Kentucky break
fast the chef was confronted with his
Waterloo.
whats that" he exclaimed.
"a Kentucky breakfast" the bell-boy
replied
Not wishing to confess his ignorance to
the bell-boy the chef waved him aside and
went himself to the great editors room.
BEG pardon. Mr.. Watterson," he said,
as in response to "come in" he entered
and found the journalist in bed, "but |
fear the bell-boy did not correctly under
stand your order. He said you wanted a
Kentucky breakfast"
"Weil, that is just what l want" said
the journalist adding little impatiently (;
'and want it right away"
"What Is a kentucky breakfast. sir ?"
Mr.. Watterson gazed pityingly at tho

We are n garden walled around
Chosen and made peculiar ground,
A little plot inclosed by grace
Out OF the world wild wilderness
Do not say Won have never been

Do not say you have never been invited.
! invite you now to the Kings least. One
and all. All! All! But go further and
tell you that the angels are ready.
Some people think when you speak
about angels we are getting into the
region OF fancy. The say it is very
well tor a man when he has just entered
the ministry TO preach about the angels OF
heaven, but after he has gone on further
it is hardly worth while. My friends,
there is not any more evidence in the
bible that there is God than that there
are angels. Did they not swarm around
Jacobs ladder? When Lazarus soul went
up did they not escort it? Did not David
say: "The chariots OF God are 10000, even
thousands of angels?" Are they not rep
resented as the chief harvesters of the
judgment day? Did not the angel in one
night slay 10000 of Senuacherib's troops?
Oh, yes, our world is in communication
with two other worlds. All that commune
cation is by angels When bad man is
to die, a man who has despised God and
rejected the gospel, the bad spirits come on
sulphurous wing and they shackle him,
and try to push him Off the precipices into
the ruin, and they lift a gutiaw of dia-
bOlical exultatiOn. But there is line of
angels, bright and beautiful and loving
angels, mighty Angels, reaching all the
way from earth to heaven. and when
others gather like them l suppose the air
is full OF them. They hover. They fit
about. They push down iniquity from
your heart. They are ready TO rejoice.
Look! There is an angel from the throne
Of God. One moment ago il stood before
Christ and heard the doxology OF the re-
deemed. II is here now. Bright immor-
tai what news from the golden city?
Speak, spirit blest. The answer came
melting on the air: "Come, come, for all
things are now ready" Angels ready to
bear the tidngs. Angels ready to
drop the benediction. Angels ready to
kindle the JOY. All ready. Ready, cher
ubim and seraphim. Ready. thrones,
and municipalities and powers. Ready,

sordid ana selfish motives directed to personal
advantage, while the announcement of such
motives Ia public place for party ends deadens
the official conscience.
Public extravagance directly distrlbutes gifts
and gratuites among the people, whose tolera-
uon OF waste IS thus secured or whose past
party services are thus compensated, or who
are thus bribed TO future party support. This
makes the continuance OF partisan power a
stronger motive among public servants than
the faithful die charge II the peoples trust and
sows the seed OF contagious corruption in the
body polite.
But to my mind, the saddest and most fright
ful result OF pubilc extraVagGnce Is seen in the
readiness OF the masses OF people. who
are not dishonest bat only needless TO Hocus-
tom themselves 10 that derelctiOn in public
place which IL involves. Evidence is thus
furnished that our cOuntrymen are in danger
OF losing the sorupuIous insstence upon the
faithful discharge % duty on the part OF their
public servants, the regard for ecor omy and
irugality which belongs 10 sturdy Amer canisn,

endeavor and the love OF an honest and we'll

foundation OF our free institutions.

that frugality and economy are honorable; that

the surest safeguards against abuses in their
