FOUND IT IN THE BIBLE.
Authorship of an Inscription on the
Confederate Monument.


Confederate Monument.
A great many people who will visit the
city during May week will probably in
quire as to the origin Of the beautiful in
scriphon on the eastern face of the con-
federate monument In the parade ground.
The question Is often asked, but there
are very few people who can answer it.
About two weeks ago a letter was re-
ceived at the city exchange from Mr..
Edward NJ. Hobbs, prominent attorney
OF New York city. The letter was ad-
dressed to the mayor, and is as follows:
while in your beautiful city during the
last winter I was attracted by the sim
gularly appropriate inscription on the
confederate monument Come from the
four winds, 0 Breath, and breathe upon
these slain that they may live" and be-
came curious over the origin of the quota
ton, which 1 have been unable to ascer-
tain.
Is it pagan or ancient, or is It modern
and local? How did the sentimental in
scr1ption originate? If you viii furnish
me with this information or hand this
note to some one who will do so, Ii will
place me under personal obligations"
Mayor Myers turned the letter over to
Clerk of Council Manucy as the literary
bureau of the exchange. Mr.. Manucy
could not answer the query and neither
could any of the aldermen, to whom he
referred it. He then placed the letter in
the AduuS OF INT. >. %. ADAMS, city at
torney, trusting to the latters store of
classical and theological knowledge. Mr..
Adams could not give the desired infor-
nation at once, but he returned the letter
to Mr.. Manucy yesterday with the state
ment that the quotation could be found
in the thirty-seyenth chapter, ninth verse
of the book of Ezekiel The quota ton
is only the latter half of the ninth verse.
The chapter relates how the prophet
Ezekiel was carried by the spirit into the
valley of dry bones, which were clothed
with flesh and restored to life at his COM
mand by direction of the spirit Mr..
Hobbs has been notified of the origin of
the quotation

A Serious Crisis in France.

France is facing one of the most
serious political crises seen in % years.
The senate adopted resolution depre-
eating the Irregularities disclosed in
the Southern railway scandals and de-
manding searching inquiry. The
chamber of deputies voted confidence
in the government yet it is apparent
that the ministry will resign. How.
ever they can no more yield to the SEN
ate than they can disregard the cham
Der. The papers in commenting say:
The real origin OF the crisis is the determine
ton OF the senate TO overthrow the radical
ministry. Not for many years has France
been on the brink OF SO extensive an upheaval
President Faure 5 position is shaken ana he Is
severely blamed by all moderate politicians for
suffering the experiment of radical ministry,
failing 10 see the countless dificulties that were
bound TO follow.
If the senate stands firm. there are only-two
alternatives the res gnation OF the ministers
or the expulsion of the senate by mob. The
latter would mean the superSeding or the con-
stitution by revolutionary convention. The
chamber OF deputies may, however, recOil from
q second vote. which might prove disastrous
The situation Is the most delicate we have

The Patriotic Spirit.

Every boy and girl in America may
well be proud of the bright flag which
waves above so many school houses to-
day; and the youth of other countries
also love their national flag and their
native land, so that the patriotic spirit
is not confined to any one people nor
to any one period of human history.
Just because that spirit is sweetest
where the people are most earnest to
seek the happiness of all their coun-
trymen, it is right that we study the
history of other countries and peoples,
to see if we can learn from them that
which will make us more blessed and
prosperous.
Sometimes we think that there never
was country where everybody had so
much cause for being happy as in these
United States. And sometimes We for
get that nearly all the laws, maxims
and incentives to patriotism which
move our own hearts and bless man
kind had their real origin long before
Greece and Rome were known to his
tory.
The trials of our forefathers when
they first landed upon these shores and
during their gradual abatement of ma
tional independence never fail to awak-
en- sympathy. And yet the most note
worthy adoption of a new country by a
wandering people was that of the He,
brew. The devotion of his Hebrew an
cestors to their native land when they
were captive exiles, far away from
home, is a sublime type of the pat
riotic spirit in its noblest and best ex-
pression IF / forget thee, o Jeru-
salem, let my right hand forget her
cunningl If l do not remember thee,
let my tongue cleave to the roof of my

IL the experiment is successful, the
wizard says the possibilities OF the ap-

has discovered that the y rays are not
affected by any of the primary colors.

A well-known New York financier.
who recently made a business and
pleasure trip through Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory, in letter to "A
friend gives some very interesting data
and information relative to THE Land
of the Fair God" He says, in part-
when recall my experiences, while In
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, 1t
seems to me to be more like a dream
than a reality. / never was more Ia
yorably impressed with a people, ana
the resources of the country are truly
wonderful.
Before making this trip I was i'm
bued with the idea, 80 prevalent among
the people of the east, that this terri
tory have little In common with the in
terests Of our people, and was place
fitted more by nature for an abode for
the red man and rendezvous for out
laws than a home for civilized and
Christian people. A personal investt-
CATION and inspection of the country
early dispelled this idea and l found
that nine-tenths of the sensational arti-
cles of outlawry and other tragedies
credited to that country eminated alone
from the fertile brain of some over-en-
thusiastic newspaper correspondent.
THE Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific,
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, the
| Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf and the
Missouri, Kansas & Texas systems OF
railroads each lead into and across this
country, and the great amount of cattle,
hogs, wheat, cotton and other produce
shipped out from there evidences the
fact of the fertility of the soil and the
productiveness of the country.
THE Indian Territory is rich in its
mineral lands and coal fields, and these
industries are only in their infancy,
while the cheapness of the land and
rich soil over the greater part of Okla
homa offers inducements to capitalists
as well as the farming and laboring
class of our people.
There is still some fair hunting in
the Kechi hills, southwest of Ami

There dwelt the Man, the flower OF

There dwelt the Soldier, who his sword
