three wars and is now one hundred and
three years of age, has been made a
member of Frank p Blair Post, Grand
Army of the Republic. of St Louis
and is doubtless the oldest member of
the organization. He was in the war of
1912 and the Mexican war, and during
the late unpleasantness, when over
seventy, was the engineer of gum

Petersburg. There the commanders Of
the opposing forces saw each others

enemy's fire, as ne often did. Gen. Rob
ert Z. Lee viewed the wonderful scene
of that battle. Dropping his field glasses
he turned TO Gen. Hampton and said:

why Henry happened to lose the race.

Col johnson, who trained and managed
Henry, ate what he called "a mess of
salad on the night previous to the race,
and he did not recover from his fit of
indigestion next day in time to give his
jockey needed instructions Gen Hamp-

old Union army.

driver on a ranch. Being bright, genial
young man and acquainted with Spanish,
he gained influence and popularity, and be-
fore long was on the roll of attorneys. By
the prosecution of, it is reported, 10000
Mexicans who broke the law by holding
servants in slavery, he laid the foundation
of his great wealth, the United States gov
eminent paying him S25 each for convic-
lions. He was elected TO the legislature of
New Mexico and subsequently to the
Forth third and F'orty-fourth Congresses.
While at Washington he became an init
mate friend of James G. Blaine and of SEN
ator Davis, of West Virginia, and married
daughter Of the rich Senator.
He made great deal of money by invest
ments in silver mining in Colorado. Later
he bought an interest in the coal fields of
West Virginia, and has his country seat at
Piedmont, that state. His wealth comprises
property in New Mexico, Colorado. and
West Virginia. He spends great part of
his time in New York city, whence he
directs his vast business interests. In the
campaign of 1884, MIR. Elkins superintendent
operations for his friend, Mr.. Blaine. His
conversion to the Republican party took
p ace in 1870, so that he has attained his
majority in it's membership. Mrs. Elkins
and other members OF his household are re-
ported to be Democrats, but he has an able
business adviser in his wife, who inherits
from her father superior judgment and
capacity AS Mr.. Elkins is one of the most
prominent and wealthy citizens of West
Virginia, his appointment as secretary of
war is regarded as "good politics" on the
part of the administration, that Common
wealth being among the doubtful states.

He says -

why, then is my soul the more luminous

my heart. Then breathe, at this hour, the
fragrance of the lilies, the violets, and the
roses as at twenty years. The nearer ap-

around me the immortal symphonies Of
the world, winch unite me. 1t is mar
vellous, yet simple. 1t is fairy tale. and
it is history. For half a century | have
been writing my thoughts in prose, verse,
history, philosophy, drama, romance. ira

the grave | can say, like so many others, Il

The tomb is not blind alley, it is a thorough
fare. 1t closes in the twilight to open with
the dawn. / improve every hour because

is hardly above its foundation. | would be
glad to see it mounting and mounting

infinity."

CEMENT For MENpINa.

To make splen2id cement for mend
ing almost anything, mix together
litharge and glycerine to the consistency
Of thick cream or fresh putty. This
cemen: is useful for mending stone jars
or any coarse earthenware, for stopping
leaks in seams of tin pans, cracks and
holes in iron kettles and the like. Holes
an inch in diameter in kettles can be
filed and used the same for years in
boiling water and feed. 1t may also be
used to fasten on lamp tops, to tighten
loose nuts, to secure bolts where nuts are
lost, to tighten loose joints of wood or
iron, loose boxes in wagons, hubs, and a
great many other things. In all cases
the article mended should not be used
until the cement has hardened, which
will require from one day to one week,
according to the quantity used. This
cement will resist the actions of acids,
of water, hot or cold, and almost any
degree of heat.-Detroit Free Press.

Jesus Christ is 70 security against storms
but ne is perfect security in them. ! have
seen village nesting in the bosom of some
great mountain. Speaking one day to the viii
layers, ventured to ask if they had many
storms during the year.
s.0h, yes" was the answer. If there is a
storm anywhere in the neighborhood 1t
seems to find us out" How do you account
for it?'' ''Those who seem to know say 1t Is
due to the mountain which towers
above our village. If he hap
pens to see a cloud anywhere on
the horizon he beckons it until it settles on
his brow. We villagers call it putting on bis
nightcap." ''Have you had any accidents
from lightning?' "Not one. we have seen
the lightning strike the noun
tain hundred times, and
grand sight it was, but nobody has
been killed. what have you, thenF 1--WE
have the thunder which shakes our windows
and frightens our women and children, but
it has not killed anybody; and we have the
downpour. The fertility of our village which
you so much admire. is all due to the thunder
showers"
When Jesus Christ became incarnate, he
rose like a very mountain of God, and all
the storms of the ages gathered around his
head. There came sweeping up, too, hurrl-
canes from the dreary wids of eternal night,
which hurled themselves in all their fury
against him, but he took the lightning into
his ewn breast. and what have we? The
thunder-shower. He shall come down like
rain on the mown grass, like showers that
water the earth.-[ Henry Simon.
