Attorney for Plaintiff.

France something like a famine ensued
through neglect to cultivate the soil. In
New England, in 1843, a crank named Miller
persuaded vast numbers of disciples that on
a given day in October the earth would pass
away. A crowd Of his followers, clad in
long white robes, gathered together at day
break on the eventful morn, upon the brow of
a mountain in Massachusetts, waiting to be
caught up into the clouds. Could anything
IN this world be more strange and weird
Than a scene like that? How pathetic, too!
Science might have tod them that for
hundreds Of millions of years the world
has been cOursing through time and space;
developing and perfecting forms Of life;
scnlpturir & the eoth's varied surface; treasur-
my up coal and iron for ages to come; and,
finally, bril ging man himself, little by little,
within the confines Of reason and morals, art
and knowledge. and that IA thousand years
hence civilization will be only in its infancy.
But they had no such thoughts, The sun on
that morning rose, and on that evening set,
rs usual, and the white robed throng descend
ed the mountain to learn that crank William
Miller had made a little mathematical miscal-
~culation. He put off the grand climax until
l847, and then to 1848, and he hims If died
in l849. And still there is no end 10 the
Miller cranks, AMI America is Their happy
h%unting ground.
