for his opinion it got this vigorous re-
ply:
Richmond, Va, April 26, 1897
II there IS a white man in all Virginia
who would favor a proposition to re-
move the remains of Washington from
Mount Vernon to any other place it
wOEld require the strongest electric
light to fird him, Tor he would be hiding
in some cavern to escape the wrath of
an angry people. Virginians will
never consent that the bones OF Viz
GINA S most IllustriOus son shall be
taken from Virgini2's soil and from the
spot he himself selected as his last rest
ing Slace. II such a thing were at
tempted 50 intense would be the feel
ing Of opposition that believe the peo-
pie would be inclined to resist with
arms.
Virginia gave Washington to the
cause of Republican liberty, and 1t IS
as little a. she can ask that she may be
perrIitted to keep vigil over his tomb
If Re could speak the proposition would
be hushed forever 1 do not believe
that the nODIe women VINO nave 50 Oeou-
tifully and faithfully cared for Mount
Vernon would consider the suggestion
for a mor1enl, nor do I believe there is
a near relative who would not frown it
down.
WASHINGTON belongs to Virginia no
less than to the UElon, and her right to
his i emains IS paramount to all the
other states combined. The proposition
will astound every man, woman and
child in this state.

TRANSLATED from the Indian by Col.
w. S. Hadley.l
st. Peter stood at the Golden Gate
With a solemn mien and an air sedate,
When up to the top of the Golden Stair
A man and woman assembled there,
Applied for admission; they came and
stood
Before st. Peter, so great and good,
In hopes the City of Peace to win
And asked st. Peter to let them in.
The woman was tall and lank and thin
With a scraggy beardlet upon her chin.
The man was short and thick and
stout,
His stomach was butt so it rounded
out,
His face was pleasant and all the
while,
He wore kindly and gentle smile.
The chOirs in the distance the echoS
woke,
And the man kept still, while the wo-
man spoke.
"Oh, thou, who guards the gates" said
she,
I'VE two came hither, beseeching thee

And play our harps with the Angel
band.
OF me, st. Peter, there is no doubt,
There's nothing from Heaven to bar
me out,
I've been to meeting three times a
week,
And always I'd rise and speak.
i've told the sinners about the days
When they'd repent of their evil ways
I've told my neighbors, I've told 'em
all
Bout Adam and Eve and the primal
fall;
I've shown them what they'd have to
do
If they'd pass in with the chosen few;
I've marA~d their path of duty clear
Laid out The plan for their whole ca
reer.
I've talked and talked to them loud
For my lungs are good and my voice
is strong.
So, good Peter, you'll clearly see
The gates of Heaven are open to me:
But my old man, regret to say,
Hasn't walked in exactly the narrow
way
He smokes and swears, grave faults
he's got,
And l don't know whether he'll pass
or not.
He never would pray with an earnest
vim
Or go to the revival, or join in a hymn
So 1 had to leave him in sorrow there
| While l, with the chosen, united in
prayer.
He ate what the pantry CHANGED to af-
ford,
While 1, in my purity sang to the
Lord;
And If cucumbers were all he got,
It's a chance If he merited them or not
But, oh! Peter love him so,
To the pleasure of Heaven, please lei
him go.
I've done enough, a saint I've been,
won't that atone? Can't you let him
in?

That the unrepentant must fry below;

Chief" says: I'VE won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but

other remedy can take its place in our

sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Coughs, ETC." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even II they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..

Simply Suggestive.

TIL old "catechism' into which so
many of US were indoctrinated when
we were children, had the following
question and answer:
Question.-HOw does the devil tempt
men to sin?
Answer--By puttingevil thoughts and
desires into their minds to which they
willingly yield.
Perhaps it is a little dangerous to
take up the devil question just now, in
view of what so recently happened to
the preacher who announced to his
congregation his disbelief in the
existence of any personal devil, but the
Light preacher never deals with
the devil" outside of the office, and
his hearers need not fear any disserta-
ton on his Satanic majesty. These
Sunday discourses deal not with the
supernatural, but purely with the nat
ural. But the old catechism ques-
ton is suggestive of suggestion and
this is what is presented for considera-
ton this morning.
The old catechism says that the devil
tempts men to sin by putting evil
thoughts and desires into their minds,
to which they willingly yield. Why do
men willingly yield to evil thoughts
and desires? Do they yield any more
readily to the evil ones than the good
ones? These are legitimate questions,
particularly the latter Men and women
more readily respond to any suggestion
that meets the selfish demands of their
natures, than to one that does not so
appeal. This not because evil is more
desired than good, but because it is
natural to put self first. The unselfish-
ness of culture and devel-
opement and education comes
later on. Because we yield to
suggestions that minister to self, is
no proof that we are tempted of the
devil
Beheading the devil, spelling him
simply without the and calling him
evil, will answer the purposes of this
enquiry this morning. The power OF
suggestion, is the thought that Is
placed before your minds. The sugges-
lions of evil and the suggestions OF
good. Have you ever thought to what
extent we are Influenced and carried
in all our life by this power of sugges-
ton? 1t is a wonder that the crimi,
nal enquiries of this philantrophic age
have not considered this subject, as
related to criminal education and Grim.
inal cure, more closely. 1t will be
found the fruitful field in which the
whole harvest of crime may be planted
and grown and reaped, or the falloW
ground in which all good may spring
and the tares of evil be thereby
choked.

way engineer, said that of all the pow

That he may enter. who's so dear to
me.
It's a narrow gospel by which pray,
But the chosen expect to find some
way
OF coaxing, or fooling. or bribing you
So that their relations can amble
through,
And say, st. Peter it seems to me
This gate isn't kept as it ought to be.
You ought to stand by the opening
there,
And never sit down in that easy chair.
And say, st. Peter, my sight is dim
med,
don't like the way your whiskers are
trimmed;
They're cut wide, and outward toss,
They'd look better narrow, cut straight
across.
Well, we must be going our crowns to
win,
So open, St. Peter, and We'll pass in"
St. Peter sat quiet and stroked his
But, spite of his office, he had to laugh.
Then said with a fiery CLEAN in his
eye;
Who's tending this gateway, you or
II"
And then he arose in his stature tall,
And pressed a button upon the wall,
And said to the imp who answered the
bell,
Escort this woman around to He'll"
The man stood still as a piece of stone,
Stood sadly, gloOmily, there alone,
A lifelong settled idea he had
That his wife was good and he was
That if she went to the regions dim,
There wasn't a ghost of a show for
him.
Slowly he turned by habit bent,
To follow wherever the woman went,
st. Peter standing on duty there,
Observed that the top of his head was
He called the gentleman back and
said:
Friend, how long have you been
wed?"
Thirty years" with a weary sigh
And then he thoughtfully added,
"why?"
"st. Peter was silent, with head bent
He raised and scratched his crown,
Then, seeming a different thought to
take,
Slowly, half to himself, he spake,
Thirty years with that woman there?
No wonder the man hasn't any hair,
Swearing is wicked; smoking not good.
Smoked and swore-I should think he
would.
Thirty years with a tongue so sharp?
Oh, Angel Gabriel! Give him harp;
A jeweled harp with a golden string,
Good sir pass in where the angels sing.
Gabriel! give him a seat alone,
one with a cushion, up near the
throne.
Let him enjoy the music and-rest.
See that on the finest ambrosia he
feeds,
He's had about all the He'll he needs.
1t isn't Just hardly the thing to do,
To roast him on earth and the future
too
They gave him a harp with golden
strings,
A glittering robe and a pair of wings,
And he said as he entered the realm
Of day:
| well, this beats cucumbers, anyway"
And so the scripture had come to pass
The last shall BE- first and the first
shall be last"

JIM JAMS AND DENGUE.
Why Dr.. Guiteras COMPOUNDED the
Two Complaints-The Doctor a
Century Hence

Two Comprehensive Doctor a
Century Hence.
Il see that a Lot of people are lin
clined to regard it as a huge Joke be-
cause Dr.. Guiteras pronounced a case
Of Jim jams a case of Yellow Jack"
said Houston physician. This Is no
joke. 1t was merely a case of mis-
taken identity. Some doctors arrive at
a diagnosis, of a case by a course of
negative reasoning. For instance, they
know what are the symptoms Of the
itch, the mumps, the measles and the
does not appear to have any of these
complaints, why of course then ne must
have something else, but what the
something else is of course will De very
largely a matter of guess work.
Now it is very probable that DR..
Guiteras in diagnosing this case of Jim
jams came across symptoms that he
couldn't find in his list of diseases and
he accordingly concluded it must be
yellow fever.
Should he ever come this way again
as expert, and he is called in to dag
nose case he will probably pronounce
it one of two things-yellow fever or
jim jams. If the man dies it's yellow
fever, and if he doesn't it's jim jams.
If the knowledge of the doctors con-
tinue to increase at the present ratio,
it is confidently expected that in a CEN
fury or two we can tell the difference
between dengue and yellow fever, and
perchance some of us may be able to
distinguish Yellow Jack from Jim
jams. Herald.
