The Democracy Of vanderburgh
county did not mince matters on
Saturday. The resolutions adopted
at the convention undoubtedly ex-
press the wishes Of large majority
Of the Democrats Of this region, not
only on the question Of coinage, but
in regard to the candidacy Of Gov
ernor Matthews for the Presidency.
Fortunately the few Democrats that
preferred another course are of the
kind that recognize the power Of the
majority. They will not be cap
tious now that the party has
spoken, but will fall in line and sup

Floating Sanitarium.

The sanitarium at sea is a European
idea. a large steamer especially fitted
for the accommodation of invalids in
need of fresh air and a favorable climate
is to be constructed by a ship-owning
association. The ship is to be in con-
slant employment for eight or nine
months in the year, but for at least
three out of twelve she will go into dock
in order to be thoroughly cleansed and
disinfected. 1t is proposed to make
this steamer, which is to be the forerun-
ner of large fleet, similarly equipped,
veritable floating palace in the mat
tiers of both comfort and salubrity. AL
though skilled advice and nursing will
always be available, the accompani-
ments of a sanitarium will be kept as
much as possible in the background.
The promts4ent idea to be carried out in
this new departure is the isolation of a
dangerous class, with the least possible
amount of discomfort to it's members;
and, furthermore, that by a judicious
timing of moves the sufferers will be af-
forded chance of recovery under the
most favorable climatic conditions
which it would be difficult to secure
otherwise. A list of anchorages has
been made all of which have their spe-
cial seasons. AS soon as any unde-
sirable change of weather is imminent
at the port of stopping, the ship will
sail for more salubriouS climate.-Chi'
cago News.

THE FIFTH GOSPEL.
The Gospel According to You--Your Ua-
conscious Testimony.

The Gospel According to You--Your Ua-
conscious Testimony.
The fifth Gospel-have you read il?
In the New Testament there are four
records of the life of Christ. While they
agree as to the great fundamental facts
of our Lords life, they differ in details.
Each writer has left the impress of his
own individuality upon the record, ac-
cording as the truth passed through the
prism of each mind
But the fifth Gospel-where is that,
and what is that? 1t is the Gospel ac-
cording to you. 1t is book read by
people who never have read the Gospel
according to Matthew, Mark, Luke or
John, and who probably never will. Is
it not worth while asking the question:,
then: What is the Gospel according
to you?" What impression do the men
and women with whom you mngle all
the week long gain of the value of the
religion of Jesus Christ from the way
you are living it? What conception of
Christ as divine utility are they form
ing from your presentation of the Cos
pei in your life?
Every man and woman of us is writ
ing some sort of record daily; and we
are transcribing it in dialect which
oil men understand and read. known
and read Of all men," We are usually
anxious about those outside the church;
Christ was equally anxious about those
inside the church,; for an unholy church
is the only thing that can hinder the
triumph of His Kingdom. 1t is not so
much n matter of what we have In
Jesus, as it is matter of what Jesus has
in us. That is the thought before u.s.
What is the Gospel according to you?
We need to be very clear as to one
thing, viz: We cannot determine
whether we will be witnesses or not.
The mere fact that we go up to the
house of God and have to do with re-.
ligious people, is sufficient to make the
world judge religion by our example.
We bear witness unconsciously as we'll
as consciously. Men are born imitators.
Mere association produces a powerful
influence upon the formation of char
acter. Jesus Christ is daily at the bar
of public opinion; and whether men
accept or reject Him depends very large
ly upon the evidence we give to His
divinity, and upon the influence we ex-.
ert over those who are not His followers.

NOT DEAD BUT sLEEPETH.


Not dead no! no! there is no death,
Yet ne'er again shall he draw breath,
No more shall greet you with his smile;
But, friend Of mine, say meanwhile
Unto thy heart that sadly weepeth:
He is not dead. but simply sleepeth.''
BY angel hands his eyes were prest;
They stilled the heart-beats in his breast,
An angel held him by the hand
Until his foot touched Heavens land.
Begrudgest thou his mighty gain?
Wouldst call him back once more to pain
This form on which your sad eyes rest
Is but Of clay with pulseless breast;
tbs but mantle now grown old
That hid, we thought, wingless soul;
This our mistake: behold to-day
The winged soul has flown away
Yet does he live, for Death, we know
Is not; but lives he not below.
With angels be; with them he sings
:" Hozanna to the King of Kings
Then learn, sad one, with eyes that
weepeth,
He is not dead. but simply sleepeth."

"YOU SHALL HAVE IT."

pravity lingering about the memory of
Cellini which, by a subtle law of the
affinity of oppcsiteS, rendered all things
connected with him objects of ire
sistible attraction to a woman of the
rigid propriety of Mrs. Branscombe.
Therefore it became necessary that she
should come into possession of Cellini
vase with as little delay as might be.
"You will have it," Will had said in a
burst of affection.
That was just before he went to Flor
ence. Mrs. Branscombe felt in an un-
usually friendly humor with him; first
for his devotion to her interests; sec.
ond, for his absence.
He wrote often to Mrs. Brans
combe; not once to Mabel. Neither
did he send her any message. Mrs
Branscombe had always had faith in
the remedial effect of absence in senti,
mental cases. 1t seemed to increase the
affection of aunt and nephew. She was
growing almost fond of him now that he
was out of the way.

Where, midst the countless inhabit-
ants of the British empire at home and
abroad, is there anyone now living who
can have known, seen and conversed
with so many of her greatest and most
illustrious contemporaries as our good
and gracious queen? In politics, in art
and in science, in peace and in war, in
church and state, in literature and
poetry, in invention and engineering,
in music and song, in the wide field Of
social success, in charm of converse
ton, of personal beauty and linguistic
attachments, hardly a man or woman
has won fame and distinction without
having been honored by the queen with
one or more interviews. Were we to at
tempt to recall the vast army of the de-
parted that she has known and holds
in her faithful memory this column
might easily be swollen into a volume.

WHERE is 1T?

Omitting the italics, on the interpo-
lated words, and the text reads: For
yet little while and the wicked, not;
yea, thou shalt diligently consider his
place, and it is not" The first meaning
of the word rendered mot" is the express
sive breathing, where? with the implied
answer, nowhere, hence not. So the He
brew lexicon. Thus quite literally
translated, it reads, suggestively: For
yet little while and the wicked, where
is he? yea, thou shalt diligently con-
slider his place, and where is it?"
1t is the moving picture of our look
ing closely for something that moment
ago he could clearly see, but which has
now wholly disappeared from view.
The phrase diligently consider" is the
same used at lisa. 1916: ''They that see
thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and
consider thee, saying: is this the man
that made the earth to tremble, that did
shake kingdoms?'"
The estate of the ungodly, how ephe-
neral it is! To-day we see him, to-mor-
row he is passed into forgetfulness, and
has left no trace. 1t shall be as if he
were not. Does it picture for us the
voidness of eternal death? Tremble,
sinner. And rejoice, we righteous; "for
the Lord knoweth the way of the
righteous; but the way of the ungodly
shall perish.'-J. w. Weddell, in Chi

She had a fan that was said to have
once belonged to the last Tycoon, who
he'd been imprisoned and who was said
to have shaded his face with this iden-
teal fan as he listened to the decree
which subjected him to durance vile
and abolished the tycoonate forever.
Mrs. Branscombe held to this theory
with mistaken tCnacity, but her
nephew Will had been the victim of
doubts ever since he had Glanced upon
factory in Philadelphia which turned
cut an ineXhaustible supply of genu-
Inc japanese vase so like that royal
relic that when he replaced it for
week with one of the late manufac-
tIred his aunt did not seem to know the
difference.
He had not called her attention to
the experiment, because he had never
forgotten one he had tried with the
famous roc's egg, and he did not believe
that she ever had, either. The roc's
egg had been the JOY of her heart and
the pride of her soul, and she had treas
ured it with anxious care for more
than five years, until one day VIII, in
an unseenly fit Of glee, had accidentally
knocked it out of the nest in which it
had been calmly reposing for so long,
and it was shattered into fragments.
TlIereupon it was revealed that the ia
nous egg had been cunningly contrived
with a preparation OF lime carefully
glazed over the surface, and no mysteri
Gus roc had ever had anything to do
with its production.
Will never could get over the i'm
preston that it was scarcely fair that
he should be blamed for the latter
feet. He might have thought it only
just that his aunt should have been
veXed with him for his carelessness in
knocking down her treasure, but she
had never seemed half so indignant
toward him for that as because of
the little circumstance that the egg
turned out not to be genuine. How
did she suppose he could help that?
Will believed that it was the roc's egg
that had ruined him. She had not

mostly toward him previous to that.
Since that tragic event her treatment
of him had been really Misunderstanding.
Not that he should have cared so
much had it been merely for his own
sake and hers, though he had always
tried to be a dutiful and a1fectionate
nephew. There was Mabel. She was
Mrs. TRANSFORMERS niece and lived with
her. 1t will be seen without difficulty
when taken in connection with the fact
that Will was in love with Mabel, that
the situation was embarrassingly COM
plicated. 1t really became necessary
to Wills happiness that his relations
with Mrs. Branscombe should be placed
on friendly footing.
There was but one way by which
Will could reinstate himself in the good
graces of Mrs. Branscombe, and even
that seemed impossible from a casual
view. She had become possessed of a
wild longing for a Cellini vase. Perhaps
there is no reason why a Gellini medal
or a Cellini seal might not have an

bition had taken the form of a Cellini
