What and Where Is Heaven

Alger says that ''heaven" is not dis
tinctively world situated somewhere
in immensity, but that it is "a state OF
pure spiritual existence, having nothing
to do with ~ny special time or place.
He further says that "heaven is a state
Of the soul or state of society under
the rule of God will, either in this life
or in future state of existence. From
the above it is clear that the great au
thority therein quoted considered that
"heaven" does not mean a bounded
place of abode, but simply unlimited
existence in state of JOY for the souls
of virtuous respecters of Gods lava

GEORGE " NO GENTLEMAN.

He Said So Once, and at Another Time he
Proved 1t.
When Lord Liverpool was forming
his ministry in 1922, he thought it abb
solutely necessary to have Canning at
the foreign office, although aware that
the appointment would be obnoxious to
George Nv. The Duke of Wellington
undertook the unpleasant task of COM
municating Lord Liverpools determi-
nation.
AS soon as the king knew what was
wanted of him he broke out: Arthur,
it is impossible said, on my honor as
gentleman, he should never be one Of
my ministers again. l am sure you will
agree with me that l cannot do what
said on my honor as gentleman
would not do. "
Another man would have been ST.
fenced, but the great soldier, always
equal to an emergency, replied:
pardon me, sir, but l don't agree
with you at all. Your majesty is not a
gentleman.
The bold assertion startled the king,
but the duke went on, "Your majesty is
not a gentleman, but the sovereign of
England, with duties to your people far
above any to yourself, and these duties
render it imperative that you should
employ the abilities of Mr.. Canning"
"Well, Arthur" said the king, draw
ing a long breath, ''if must, must.
Although he did not like being told
he was not gentleman, George Nv had
once. at least, while regent forgotten he
was one This was when he flung q
glass of wine in Colonel Hamlyn's face,
with "Hamlyn, you are blackguardW
The insulted officer could not return
the compliment without committing
something like treason-it was out Of
the question to challenge the prince,
while to let the insult pass unnoticed
was equally impossible
The colonel filled his glass and threw
the contents in the face of his neighbor,
saying, His majesty's toast, pass it
onp'
''Hamlyn, cried the regent, ''you' re
capital fellow! Here's your health"

Thought They Were Capsules and Took the
Dose In the Dark.
A good citizen in the northwestern
section of the city has been through an
exciting experience. Being dyspeptic,
the gentleman visited his physician. A
prescription was written for him which
the druggist filled. The result was a
small box of capsules, which he took
home and placed upon the sideboard,
with the remembrance of the instruc-
tions to take two every hour in the even.
ing after eating until bedtime. These
were obeyed implicitly.
1t was dark in the dining room, and
the gentleman went for his medicine
the first evening without precaution
of lamp and administered to himself
three doses of two capsules each before
retiring. He was awakened some hours
afterward by strange sensation. For
aught the man could tell he seemed
within to be mammoth penuchle board
on which million little objects were
dancing.
He could distinguish kicks and jumps
SO vividly that it was in vain for his
wife to try to convince him that he was
dreaming. She suggested the doctor,
and the servant was dispatched in hot
haste. Before he arrived the sick man
asked for more Of the capsules, which
were brought to his bedside When the
cover was removed, there were Mexican
beans instead of capsules, the kernels
bouncing as merrily as spring lambs.
The box of capsules had been misplaced
accidentally by the young son and heir
and the beans put in its place. The doo-
tor does not say what kind of medicine
he finds useful in such cases. Wash

blackening hills and the moving shapes
of orange, brown and purple that caught
and rent the fringes of the approaching
night.
Macha clasped her hands over her
head and gazed round her half fearfully,
enjoying and understanding the beauty
Of it all. She had heard of shining
city beyond the gold and silver gates OF
the sun and the moon, also of earthly
cities, wonderful, too but not so beau
tiful, that lay down below the noun
tains in the busy world of men. She
meant to go to the one, but she did not
care to visit the others. Her mountain
home, with its inhabitants, contained
the desires of her heart. The old brown
crucifix on the cabin wall was her pass
port to the final happy destination OF all
patient souls, whittier she and all she
loved would depart when the Master
should send them a message to come.
Nothing natural or supernatural dis
mayed or disgusted her. If there were
spirits in the rocks and fairies in the
lake, the Almighty knew what they
were doing there, and everything was
all for the best.
"Macha, come in, /" called her mother
from the cabin. Something will get
you"
"Aye, mother, am coming" said
Macha, but still she fingered, looking
hard at piece of rock that seemed to
be taking the shape of something. !"
The clouds are alive and move and
change-why should not the rocks?
Suddenly a living person seemed to
emerge out of the rock and come beside
her, and, startled, she would have fallen
into the lake had not strong arm seized
her and swung her into safety.
''Holy mother! l nearly drowned
you!' cried Macha, looking at the same
traveller who had passed the cabin in the
morning.
81 nearly drowned you," said the
stranger, gazing in wonder at her beau
ty, which seemed to have become almost
unearthly, as the still warm glow from
one side irradiated her hair, and the
greenish moonlight from the other whit
ened her round cheek and the drapery of
her shoulder.
81 thought you were-him who lives
down in~the lake, whispered Macha.
"Who is he?"
She looked all round in the air, and
her lovely face caught thousand refec-
tions of fitting colors and lights Then
she signed with her hand toward the
lake.
1.-THE water is deep" she said, "and
there is many thing down there. But
you are living man, for I saw you in
the morning"
The person addressed felt a strange
thrill as she spoke and put out her round
cleaning arm and touched his hand
with her warm fingers, as if to assure
herself that her own words were true,
and that he was indeed living man.
"And you are living woman" he
said. 81 almost thought you were a
spirit moving along the edge of the
lake. Why do you keep so close to the
edge? I thought I saw you walking on
the water.
81 like to look in and see what can
see." said the girl mysteriously.
"Doyou aways walk here in the even
ings?"
"Yes, and sometimes bit at dawn.

me. But have only met you, and you

Augusta Is Visited by a Twister-
Many People Injured


AUGUSTA. Ga, March 20. = At o
o'clock this morning tornado struck
Augusta back of the old Lafayette race
course. The first house struck was
hurled across McKinnie street and
thrown against the house on the op-
posite side. Its sole occupant, a col
ored woman. was badly. but not fatal
ly hurt. Nothing but the floor of the
house was left. In the next house de-
molished were negro woman and five
children, buried under the wreck. but
after an hours hard work they We're
extricated alive, though some of thcm
were badly bruised. In the central
southern part of the city a dozen
houses were wrecked, and all along the
path of the storm trees. fences and
outbuildings were leveled. A small
house was hurled through the roof and
into one of the big rooms of the Miller
flour mills. The Central railroad round
house and paint shops were badly dam
aged and one engine smashed under
the debris. 1t is extraordinary that no
lives were lost and that few people
were hurt. The entire police AMI fire
forces, reinforced by large numbers OF
citizens, are at work on the ruined
houses, and those Who have been hurt
are being cared for at the hospital.

NOTHING TO SAY.
When 1t Came to Telling on Him.
esIf Il. KOrtgaard Was Num-

Kristian Kortgaard, the man who Is
exercising his constitutional right to
liberty and the pursuit of happiness
to an extraordinary degree, will now
tell how he raised the wind in the year
1892. That is, how he paid for his own
stock in the State bank is nobody's
business but his own. He will tell all
about how other folks paid for their
stock, but, acting on his attorneys
advice, he is keeping mum about his
own deals.
Kortgaard was put on the stand yes
terday, but declined to explain how he
raised the $4,000 necessary to help him
out of the hole. AS Mr.. Kortgaard
could not be made to talk, Otto Nae
gele, formerly cashier of the bank, was
examined on that point
He said that he knew Kortgaard had
paid for the stock, but could not re-
member how. In fact 1t finally devel-
oped that the only way he knew was
from the fact that Kortgaard had told
him so. He admitted that there wasn't
a book or paper belonging to the bank
which would give any clue as to
whether it had been paid or not.
All the afternoon the proving of own
ership of stock was kept up, till Gen.
Ham was put on the stand. He was
called on to testify that the claims
against the bank which had been al
lowed were $521 6S0.6S, of which the
claim Of A. c. Haugan, which was al.
lowed yesterday, for 100000, was a
part. To offset this the resources of
the bank were touched upon, and it
was shown that the bank held Kort-
gaard's paper to the amount of $780, 900.
Gen. Hahn stated that something
would be realized from the American
Realty company, perhaps 100000, ami
there were small properties in North
Dakota, in Anoka county, and in
Georgia, which would amount to, pos
sibly, $4,000 more.

The Van DOren-Wright Case Civ
en- Another Innings.
The notorious Van Doren-W Wright
case, which has already been tried four
times, is to be given another inning.
Yesterday Judge Elliott set aside the
verdict against J. A Wright and
granted a motion for a new trial. In
remarking on the case, the court ap-
ponds the following memoranda:
After careful consideration of the
testimony in this case, L am satisfied
that there is not sufficient evidence
to support the verdict Of the jury.
When the case was before the supreme
court it was there held that there was
not sufficient evidence in the ord
to show that S. H. Wright was the
agent for J. A. Wright for the purpose
of ordering these goods. The addi-
tional evidence offered by the plaintiff
on this trial adds nothing to the
strength of the case. 1t is true he has
produced number of additional wit
nesses, but L am unable to see any
thing in their evidence which tends
to show agency on the part of S. H
Wright
This being true, I am constrained to
vacate the verdict and grant new
trial, Notwithstanding the fact that it
is very desirable that this litigation be
brought to a close.

times in this court, the action having
been pending ten years or more, until

ing to furnish them with farming i'm

receive one-third of the crop. Before
leaving Minneapolis the boys asked S.
H. Wright, a brother of the defendant
If they could obtain credit in Herman
The defendant thereupon told his
brother to step in PLAINTIFFS store and
tell him to allow the boys $25 worth OF
groceries, and he would be responsible
for the bill. The boys went to the store
and secured some $165 worth of goods
during their stay on the farm, which
they abandoned because of poor crop
prospects. Plaintiff Immediately
brought suit for the recovery of the
amount from the defendant, which was
allowed. Judge Hicks made an order
reducing the amount to $25, and on an
appeal to the supreme court the order
was sustained.
