THE AMERICAN FLAG.
BY MRS. H. E. SHAW.

What glorious emotionsare awak-
ened in the breast Of the true patriot
at the sight of the Red, White and
Blue, which forms our American
Flag. How many brave men have
fought under this flag to gain our
rights and freedom of our country?
How proudly it waved when the
last sound of war was drowned by
the glorious shouts, that America
was declared free, and was no long
er under the British yoke2 And
that she was her own mistress and
would maintain her own govern
ment. Oh, what JOY and gratitude
must have filled the hearts of the
brave patriots, to know that every
man that trod on American soil
was free and independent And
they broke from the British chains,
and drove old England from our
shores and raised the banner of the
Free IN our land.
No man was slave for another.
They had freedoms soil beneath
their feet and freedoms banner
streaming over them. They loved
the hills and mountains of America;
they loved the land that gave them
birth.
The American flag has been a
shield and a covering for the land Of
liberty, ever since the year 1776
Every true American citizen is
bound to sustain those Stars and
Stripes
Could you, fellow citizen, bear tc
see those broad Stripes and bright
Stars dragged in the dust, and dis
graced forever? | think hear you
respond no, never, never. But we
will defend our rights and defend
our shores. We will battle against
every foe. For our guide is free.
dom's banner. Well protect it, we'll
protect it. And long may it wave
DER the land of the free and the
home of the brave.

Breckenridge at St. Louis.

Col. W. G. P, Breckenridge scored
a fiat and conspicuous failure as a
drawing card in his lecture last
night. As an amusement expert
put it, "the door didn't near pay
for the house" ." Breckenridge is in
the pitiful plight of man who, in
all but the physical sense, is dead
and does not know it, There are
some awful crimes against public
decency, against public morals, and
against home and home life, for
which decent society has no punish
ment that is not capital The Col
has been found guilty under this
head and his punishment has been
meted out. There is no resurrec-
tion. The sooner he comes to re-
alization of this fact the better will
it be for his pocket book and his
peace of mind, Requiescat in
pace.-[St, Louis Star.Sayings.

EARTHQUAKES IN MEXICO,

MEXICO CITY, January 1.-The
earthquake caused great alarm
here from those who feared a repIti'
tion of the disastrous earthquakes
of November q which killed eigh-
teen people and did great property
damage.
In the Arben theater, which Is
The only play house now open In this
capital as the result of the damage
sustained by the other theatres
by the previous shocks, a stampede
occurred, Women leaped from the
lower boxes and the audience strug'
gled for escape at the narrow exits
The manager appeared on the
stage and tried TO calm the fear
crazed people, and AT last a degree
OF quiet was restored, but not until

KATE FIELDS.
THE PYTH1ANs AND THE POPE.

NASHVILLE, TENN, December 81.
DIR, L. c, White, Supreme Keeper
of Records aud Seal, Knights Of
Pythias, in an interview concerning
the order and the recent papal
edict, says: 1t seems that it is a
matter which an individual must
settle himself, and I take it that
each Catholic knight of Pythias
will have to settle with himself the
comparative ties binding him to the
absolute obcyauce of the temporal
DEGREES of the Pope or the observ'
ance of the ties binding him to his
fraternity. I presume the effect
may be different in various locali-
ties. The devout Catholic who
thinks that every wish of the Pope
must be sacredly observed will feel
he must withdraw. Conversely the
man who considers himself his own
master, in worldly matters will re-
main in the order if he is devoted to
its principles, ] have talked with
several local Knights of Pythias
concerning the question, and they
all say they intend to stay in the
order, This pronouncement Of the
Pope comes, believe, from the ad.
vanced and pronounced require
ments of our order. The Supreme
Lodge has decreed that each mem
Der must be loyal to the govern
ment under which he lives in prefer,
ence to all other allegiance You
can see where that would fail to
please the Pope"

The Suicide Evil.

Encouraged, possibly, by COL
Ingersolls defense of suicide, an
unusually large number of people
have lately looked into the face of
death and found it friendly, In one
week forty men and women volun'
tarily quilted an intolerable world
from this country alone. While al
most as many more were pursued
by their i'll luck, even on the last
grim journeT, and unsympathetic-
ally dragged back into a life where
they fell more or less de trop For
the consolation of these there Is the
reflection that a determination to
live can always be reconsidered,
while the resolution to die, when

Stub End of Thought.

Heresy is unsuccessful independ'
ence.
Art is the sublimation of the ar
tifcial,
What breaks one heart makes
another.
An impulse should be kept on Ice
for time.
A woman's brain doesn't empty
into her heart,
Advertisements are the legs that
business walks on,
Don't trust a man that Is too
ready to trust you.
Language is the bucket which
hangs in the well of thought.
Religion is the heart of the
church and theology Is its brain,
A woman never makes up her
mind to do a thing; she does 1t, and
makes up her mind afterwards.

TRAIN ROBBERY IN ALABAMA.
Green Hands Capture Considerable
Booty From the Express
Company

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 81, - At
Livingston, Ala, tonight two mask
ed robbers boarded south bound ex-
press train No. 3 on the Alabama
Great Southern road which left
here at 2;30 p. m. and robbed the
express car of its valuables,
The scene of the robbery is l2O
miles south of here and details are
meager, 1t seems that the robbers
disguised as passengers, after
boarding the train waited until it
was again in motion, and then 60
ing out on the platform put on their
masks and re-entered the express
car and at the point of pistols com.
PEELED the messenger to give up the
contents of his safe, which is
thought to have contained several
thousand dollars.
The robbery was committed very
quickly and when it was completed
the robbers backed out of the car
with their pistols still on the ex-
press messenger and baggagmaster,
who occupied the same car, pulled
the bell cord, got off when the train
slowed up and took to the woods
There is absolutely no clew as
yet, but the action of the robbers
indicate that they we're green
hands and local talent at that.
The express people will not tell
just how much money was taken,
but it is not thought to have been
a very large amount, as the train
was a local one and did not make a
practice of carrying large amounts
of money The railroad and cx'
press people are hurrying officers
and bloodhounds to the scene.

when once put into effect, is perma-
nent and irrrevocable. Concerning
the morality of self murder, there is
very little confusion in any healthy
mind. The argument that the sui
eide injuries no one but himself is
rudely shattered by the fact that
such tragedies ever come in bunch
es, and that the similarity of their
details leave no doubt of the inhu-
ence of a bad example The only
plausible defence for this sort of
criminal is that he might have done
still more karin by continuing to
live. In face of this probability l
doubt whether human society is
justified in forcibly OBTAINING any
member who wishes to leave it for
ever.

Frank James Will Go on the Stage.

FORT WoRTH, Jan, l,--One Of the
Sanger Brothers employees has just
returned from st. Louis where he
met his old friend Frank James,
In speaking of the talk Of Frank
going on the stage, James corrobor-
atcs the report, but has taken
deeply to heart the added rumor
that he will appear In a sensational
train robbery melodrama to be
written for him. He says "Tell
the people that Frank James Is not a
wild man, and that he has feeling,
and that in view Of his life for the
past twelve years some considera'
tion Is due him. Tell them that he
has too much respect for himself
and for them to insult their intelli-
gencc by going on the stage In the
role OF a train robber,'

NOTES, AND ELSE.
BR0. GARDNER:
1895

BRo, GARDNER
A year has gone--a new year
here, and it is a good time to "take
stock" and see what has been done
and in what way improvements may
be made.
The year spent in Texarkana was
a busy one, nor was ii without fruit
You stood by me as a man in all the
battles that l waged against sin
sin in high as well as in low places,
sin in state and in church-for, like
yourself, ] know no favorites and
fear no foes, During my ministry
In your city the sermon against
''The Crime of Municipal Misrule"
was preached, making me some en-
cmies and aiding in municipal re-
form" on the West side In COM
mon with many others, rejoice
that such reform was inaugurated.
During my stay with you the ser
mon on "The Grimes of the Liquor
Traffic" was preached, Miller coun-
ty the next day went dry During
my soiourn in your midst the SER
mon on "True and False Causes OF
Trouble" was delivered, and soon
thereafter a white murderer Of
Texarkana, Tex, was convicted, the
first in the history Of the city.
Under my pastorate the Morrison
meeting was held--a meeting that
will live forever in the experiences
OF some Of the best people / ever
knew. The great tabernacle meet
ing also came of while was in your
midst. Hundreds Of people today
bless God that they were in that
way permitted to hear the most re-
markable man of the century, Sam
p, Jones, II we Vou and y in any
degree assisted in bringing these
things to pass, then we did not toll
In vain. During the year scores OF
persons found out how to study the
Bible. Rose Hill church was built;
and W T. Burch started In the
ministry. This last alone was worth
all the work Of the year.
That mistakes were made ] adj
nit; that unwise things were said |
grant that ! could have done bet
ter confess to the "lew small
taters" who abuse Inc In my alb
sence, ] say; Do a 1.-THE OF the
work did, and life will be too busy
for you to find out how many sins
the pastor Of the State Line church
committed In 1894
But here | am, at the dsor OF
1895, In neat parsonage, with a
compact charge and a loving peo-
pie, having a happy heart, a bright
future and an abiding faith In the
God Of my salvation.
