trials, and difficulties and dangers.
After two thousand years of wander
ing, 1t makes the Jew a sharer In the
glory Of the prophets. the lawglvers.
the warriors and poets who lived in
the morning Of time. How does 1t
toughen every fibre of an Englishman's
frame, and Undue the spirit Of the
Frenchman with Napoleonic enthu-
siasm. How does the German carry
with him even the "old house furni-
ture" of the Rhine. surround himself
with the sweet and tender associations
of "Fatherland," and wheresoever he
may be the great names of German his
tory shine like stars in the heaven
above him. And the Irishman, though
the political existence of his country
Is merged in kingdom whose rule he
may abhor, yet still do the chords OF
his heart vibrate responsive to the
tones OF the harp of Erin, and the
lowly shamrock Is dearer to his soul
than the fame-crowning laurel, the
love-breathing myrtle, or storm-dar-
ing pine. What is our country? Not
alone the land and the sea, the lakes
and rivers, and valleys and mountains
not alone the people, their customs
and laws-not alone the memories
of the past. the hopes of the
future: it is something more than
all these combined. 1t is d.
vine abstraction. You cannot tell
what 1t is. but let its flag rustic above
your head-you feel its living presence
In your hearts. They tell us that our
country must die; that the sun and the
stars will look down upon the great
Republic no more; that already the
black eagles of despotism are gather
ing in our political sky. That even
row, kings and emperors are casting
lots for the garments OF our national
glory. 1t shall not be. Not yet, not
yet shall the nations lay the bleeding
corpses OF our country in the tomb.
If they could, angels could roll the
stone from the mouth OF the sepulchre
1t would burst the cerements Of the
grave. and come forth a living pres
ence. redeemed. regencrated, disen-
thralled." Not yet. not yet shall the
Republic die. The heavens are not
darkened. the stones are not rent! II
shall live-it shall live the incarna-
tion OF freedom, 1t shall live the en-
bodlment of the power and majesty OF
the people. Baptized anew, 1t shall
stand thousand years to come. the
Colossus of the nations-its feet upon
the continents. ita sceptre over the
seas. its forehead among the stars!

DIED OF STARVATION.
Return of u Number of Members of tn
Colony Sent to LiberIR In 1906.

Return of u Number of Members of the
Colony Sent to Liberia In 1906.
New York, June 21.-Thirteen colored
persons, who formed part of the 200
sent to Liberia by the international
Emigration Society, in March, 1896, ar
rived in this port to-day aboard the
ship Liberia. They say that the scheme
has been II total failure, that many of
their number died of starvation and
fever and that the society did not fulfill
the contract. and that many members
of the expedition are stranded in Eng.
land, unable to get back to their homes
The plan of the African colonization
scheme originated largely in 1894 in the
mind of Bishop Turner, who was trav-
cling in the South. and was carried into
effect by Gere Mcmillan. a white man
OF Birmingham, Alabama, who found
ed what was known as the Information
al Emigration Society.
The first large party of colonists,
numbering 200. left Savannah, Geor-
gia. In March. 1905. for their new home.
and after that several smaller parties
Joined them. Twenty-Five acres of land
for each adult and ten acres for each
child was promised, and on landing
each person was to be provided with
barrel OF flour, two barrels of meat, n
quantity of sugar and complete set
of farming implements. d. X. Flam.
mer. president of the society, accompa-
MED the emigrants.
According to the stories told by those
who have returned to-day. when they
landed in Liberia, Flammer deserted
them. taking whatever was provided
for them except the land. which they
found thirty-livc miles from any town.
and which was incapable of growing
anything but coffee. Even TO grow this
successfully would take four or five
years.
The thirteen persons had not as many
cents among them on their arrival, and
they had no idea where they were TO
pass the night.

The Rev. Frank Crane OF Chicago
says: "A minister is asked many
times week what an unemployed man
is to do in Chicago. Thousands are
out Of work. The afternoon newspa-
per offices are besieged by crowds OF
men eager TO get hold OF the want ad-
vertisements, to see where they can
get something to do. have been
asked TO give some word OF practical
advice TO n man seeking work In the
great city. The best word l can think
of is this: Get on the cars and ride as
far as your money will carry you: then
get on and walk as far rs you can. al
ways headed straight away from Chi
cago." Doubtless many OF those unem-
ployed Chicago people would take the
Rev. Cranes advice were they not
aware of the fact that hoboing. while
in one sense having much room. is still
n crowded profession.

The way has been pointed out for
the admission of the graphophone as
a witness in the law courts. A prop
erty-owner in New York sued a rail-
way company for damages alleged to
have been caused by the noise result
ing from railroad operations near his
property, and his counsel sought to
have graphophone reproduction Of
certain Of these noises accepted as
evidence. The opposing counsel OBJ
jected on the ground that it has not
been proved that the recorded noises
were produced originally by the de-
fendant company's operations. The
judge sustained the objection. but said
that he would have admitted the tes-
timony of the graphophone II the
proper way for its admission had been
opened.

MEADE AND HIS MEN.
The Commander Frank Answs. to :
Complaining Doctor. II

The Commanders Frank Answer to Q
Complaining Doctor. II
Gen. Meade was most accomplished
odcer. He had been thoroughly edu-
Gated in his profession, and had COM
plete knowledge Of both the science and
art Of war In all Its branches, says the,
Century. He was we'll read, possessed
of vast amount OF interesting infor-
nation. had cultivated his mind as q
linguist and spoke French with huency.'
When foreign officers visited the front
they were invariably charmed by their,
interviews with the commander Of the
Army OF the Potomac. He was dis
ciplinarian to the point Of severity, was
entirely subordinate to his superiors,
and no one was more prompt than he
to obey orders to the letter. In his in
tercourse with his officers the bluntness
of the soldier was always conspicuous,
and he never took pains to smooth any
ones ruffied feelings.
There was an officer serving In the
Army Of the Potomac who had former
ly been surgeon. One day he ap-
peared at Meade's headquarters in a
high state Of indignation and said:
General. as l was riding over here
some OF the men In the adjoining
camps shouted after me and called me
Old Pills and would like to have it
stopped" Meade just at that moment
was not in the best possible frame Of
mind to be approached with such q
complaint. He seized hold of the eye
glasses. conspicuously large In size,
which he always wore, clapped them
astride of his nose with both hands.
glared through them at the officer and.
exclaimed: We'll, what of It? How
can l prevent 1t? Why, I hear that
when / rode out the other day some of
the men called me 'd-d old goggle-
eyed snapping-turtle,' and can't even
stop that!" The officer had to content
himself with this explosive expression
OF sympathetic fellow feeling and to
take his chances thereafter as to OBJ
noxious epithets.
