DEEDS NOT WORDS.
what Mckinley Did for Destitute Miners
Less than Two Years Ago.

While Candidate Bryan is going about
tho country telling fairy tales of what
ba and his policy will do for the poor,
the question naturally arises: What
has he ever done for the working poorl
Is II his habit or nature to feel for and
try TO relieve the suffering of those less
fortunate in life than himselfT"
His most loyal supporters make no
claims that he has ever shown this feel
ing for his fellowman until now. In
fact no has no record of ever having
gone out of his way to do anything for
that he calls the masses" On the
other hand. Maj. Mckinley, while not
nosing as one who 'weeps for the
masses" has a record. He says nothing
about the occurrence which gave the
world AN insight into the heart of the
man an occurrence which demonstrated
that he was the friend Of those who are
moor and hungry. but great multitude
remembers il. Such acts live in the
memory of those who earn their bread
Inv the sweat of their face"
In speaking of Maj. Mckinley, the
Grand Rapids Herald says:
"No account of McKinley's connec-
,;on With labor problems would be COM
nIete without some mention of the tire
loss energy which he displayed in secur-
mo relief for the 1000 miners in the
Hacking valley mining district who early
IN 1so5 were reported out of work and
destitute. The news first came TO the
governor at midnight, but before 5
O'clock in the morning he had upon his
own responsibility dispatched TO the af-
hicted district car containing $1,000
worth of provisions. Later he made APP
peals for assistance and finally distrib-
uted among the 2723 families In the
district clothing and provisaD - the
amount of $50, I06.95."

Old English 1Iusic,

Long before the stream of Norman
minstrel art sacred music was exercis-
ing beneficial influence. The early
British church possessed sacred music,
but this was gradually driven out before
the onward march of that new church
music which Augustine brought with
him from Rome "A. D. 597). Tho Gre
gorian music (evolved by Pope Gregory
out Of the Greek tetrachcrds and some
existing Ambrosian chants) was heard
and loved wherever Augustine and his
monks built church. By its means q
deep impression was left upon the minds
CT those who heard and joined in it, but
it is curious that we miss altogether the
ecclesiastical favor in the earliest ex-
amples that have come down to us OF
English music during the first quarter
of the thirteenth century.

sic was the first to reflect itself in per-
manent manuscript form. Church music
per SO was not progressive; the church
tones for the Service" and "mass" mu-
sic were fixed, and only heretical Of

"A Contest Before King Herod and Pom.
thus Filatus In Jerusalem.


On one Of those days he went to the
amphitheater, the circus which Herod
the Great had built, at some distance
from the city. He paid for O seat in one
OF the upper galleries. On the tiers of
seats below him were all sorts Of people,
and far away, on the opposite side of the
vast arena, the sandy level in the mid
die, he saw, in the lower tier, canopied
place that was furnished magnificently
In it there were throne seats, and on
them sat King Horod Antipas, Pontius
Pllatus, the Roman governor, two Ro-
man generals, with other distinguished
men, and number Of richly dressed
women, some of whom woro brilliant
tiaras or coronets upon their heads He
stared ut them for few minutes and at
the tremendous throng of people, but
after that he thought only Of what was
going on i'll the arena.
There were chariot races, and Cyril
could not help being intensely excited by
the mad rusll of the contending teams,
while all the thousands who looked on
shouted and raved. After the races,
however, came scenes some Of which
lnade him shudder. There were foot races
and boxing matches, but these were soon
over, ard then there were contests be-
tween pairs of swordsmen, spearmen,
ciubinen, and the like. in which the
fight Went Oil until one CT the combat
ants WIGS slain. Close upon the last of
these dCols, bands Of gladiators marched
III from opposite sides of the arena and
charged each other like detachments of
soldiers upon real battlefield.
The fighting was furious and desper-
ate, but one side was soon beaten, for
tho parties had not been equal. One
party had been trained warriors, pro-
fesslonal gladiators, and the other only
common men, captives taken in recent
raid of Pilatus' soldiers upon wild
tribe beyond the Dead sea. They were
bravo enough, but they were put there
only to be killed for the amusement of
the great men and Of the multitude So
were the poor victims with whom the
days exhibition closed, for they were
driven into the arena, half armed to
contend as best they could with q num-
Der of hungry lions, tigers, leopards and
hyenas, which were loosed upon them
from their dens under the tiers of seats.
