Gen. Horace Porter has almost as
great a reputation as an after-dinner
speaker as has DR.. Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, whom he succeeded as president
of the Union League club, of New York.
Though a seasoned New Yorker now,
he is native of Pennsylvania, having
been born at Huntington, in that state,
on April Is, 1887. His father was the
then State Senator David R. Porter,
who was afterward, in 1899, elected gov
ernor.
Horace Porter entered West Point in
1855 and graduated in 1860, in time to
take part in the civil war. His field of
service comprised at one time or an
other all of the important theaters of

man that robs men not only of their money,
but of their ability to make it, and of their
= health and life. And yet men actually court
the advances of this deadly enemy. Its
name IS consumption. Thousands of bright
men and women are passive victims in its
clutch. Its daily victims are numbered by
thousands.
A sure cure for this dread disease is found
in DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t goes directly to the seat of the trouble.
1t restores vigorous action to the digestive
organs, tones up the liver and makes the
appetite good It makes the assimilation
perfect and supplies the blood with the
elements that build up healthy tissue. 1t
acts upon the lungs driving out all impuri-
ties and disease germs. 1t soothes the shat
tered nerves and they resume their normal
function of irnparting healthy activity to all
the organs of the body. All Druggists sell
it. Nothing else is Just as good"
"Dr. Pierce, am one of your most grateful
patients" writes Mrs. Annie NJ. Norman, of

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not

We should count time by heart throbs He most
Who thinks most feels the nobiest, acts the

The stupendous mystery Of the advent

made it possible for mankind to attain
the high state Of perfection so beautiful
~ illustrated by the poet. Precepts were
not wanting before, but hcnceforth
there was IL perfect life as a model for
all ages.
Doubtless all events, however iUlpos-

contribute to
That 7aroff divine event
Toward which the whole creation moves
The poets have sung Of that day, phi
losophers have written Of it from the
earliest times and optimists think they
see its near approach, but it must be
confessed that the signs of its coming
are not promising Education and cul-
ture, art and science, while they may
prepare the way for it, are at best only
subsidiary. That day will never dawn
until human society is permeated by
that spirit of love and unselfishness
which characterized the life Of Christ.

Washington Well Fortified.

In view of the fact that the
national capital was once taken
and burned by foreign enemy
it is reassuring to know that a
calamity SO humiliating is not
likely to occur again, even in
case of sudden war.
Washington is the best defend
ed city in the country. A hostile
fleet could not ascend the Poto-
mac, as was done i'll 1914, when
President Madison and his wife
were compelled to make a hur-
ried escape across the Potomac
to avoid capture by the British.
For military and prudential
reasons little has been allowed
to be made know concerning the
new works and the heavy ordi>
nance'recently installed below the
city, but for some years engi
neers have been busy at the
river forts. Some very formidal
guns are now i'll position there,
and system of torpedo defenses
has been perfected which would
render the approach Of All ems
emy's warships within twelve
miles OF Washington practically
impossible.
The defensive works are locat>
ed at the "elboW." or turn, of
the Potomac where old Forts
Washington and Sheridan stood,
and where at one point the
channel for vessels of deep draft
is but 800 yards wide. The guns
are protected OH the water side
by emplace1nent walls of stone
and concrete 70 teet thick, and
On the land side by redouble for
infantry. The rapidly increasing
wealth and Importance of Wash
ington, the grand new public
buildings and the vast sums of
money and bullion in the trea-
sury renders these protective
and defensive measures a matter
of national Importance and
necessity.

with sorrow and pain. when OH
Christmas morn the little arx-
ious children would arise, hop
ing to find present from Santa
Claus. Imagine the inexpres>
sable sorrow and disappoint
ment they meet, when they find
that good St. Nicholas has
skipped over their humble
home, leaving no loving token
of him.
Many long hours slowly pas
sed, and Dollie still sat by the
window, gazing at the passing
throng below. She thought
how sad and dreary will be my.
Christmas no one to remem Der
me by a happy greeting-no
one to give me gift as others
get.
Next day she had resolved to
try at some of those handsome
homes for a humble position.
Perhaps they might feel how
lonely and heartsore she was,
and take compassion on her
giving to her a place that she
might earn her living, tho hum
BILE aud Inundated it might be.
Entering upon this resolution.
she stopped at a handsome brown
stone front dwelling, with its
richly draped windows, its shin
ing brass ratings and magnih-
Gently carved doors. How her
heart beat with emotion. But
gently, though trembling like a
quivering aspen leaf, she touched
the electric bell of the door. Her
summons being answered by a
servant, she asked if she might
speak to the lady personally
which she was permitted to do.
Oh how strange it was for
our Dolly, to tread upon the soft
velvet carpets of that 1iagnih>
cent home. How overcome
with a desire to remain there al
ways. She felt as tho she
would be blessed, even if she
was a servant. The lady's reply
to Dolly's request was that she
needed no more servants, being
more than supplied already, and
that perhaps she might find EN-
ployment elsewhere. Poor
heart broken Dolly went out
from that rich home with a
heart SO full of pain and anguish
for tears. She felt that she la d
been forsaken by every human
being on earth, No one seemed
to care for her. The wonders
full courage she had was fast re-
Taxing, her strength was almost
gone
When DR.. Langston came
home, his wife told him about
the young girl who came for a
situation in their home, and he
replied in a careless, nonchalant
way, alma, don't think of tax =
ing strange street beggers in
our home. unless you wish to
ruin it"
Yes, but Sydney, l am indeed
sorry that l did not do some
thing for that poor girl, for l
feel in my heart that she was
deserving. Oh, yes, they all
pretend to be deserving, do they
not? interrupted DR.. Lankston.
Yes. dear, but this girl had a fine
face with clear cut features; her
countenance was almost angelic;
| am sure she was honest and
true; besides she must have once
been extremely pretty, but pow
