days, scofed at both by north and
south, who had the right of it. If they
had been heard on both sides, we
should have had no war and no slavery.
It was advised by those Christian phi

money for the slaves as property and
set them free" The north said, 1--WE
cannot afford to pay" The south
said, we will not sell the slaves
anyhow" But the north did pay IN
war expenses enough. to purchase
the slaves, and the south was com

the money and saved the lives Of
100000 brave men, and might not the
south better have sold out slavery and

front of the opera house Tuesday after
noon. when a stranger, after borrowing a
stool from the drug store of T. H. Gilbert,
sat calmly down, pulled off his shoes and
socks and deliberately washed his feet at
the town pump. After performing the
feat of feet washing he donned a new
pair of socks, pulled on his shoes, carried
the stool back into the drug store, NUT
tered a hasty thank you" and went ON
his way as unconcerned as if he hadn't
been making himself the laughing stock

serious turn. One of the young men was
heard to say, give me the pistol If you

past the generals head. With that the
gang broke away, and the two military
officers hurriedly sought the protection of

touched this beautiful fragile flower
when it withered and died. All that love

blight was rendered with almost super
human care and tenderness, but all in
vain. The Master had selected it for his
own use and transferred 1t to his garden
in heaven. This is the third contribution
