CONDUCTED BY MRS. NJ. l.. HOBBS.
GONE HOME.

Death loves a shining mark.
Thi, was plainly illustrated on
Friday Dec. 10Th, when it entered
the home of Dr. d Mrs. Gleazon
and took our dear Grace McSwane
as its victim.
Grace was born in Peters burg,
Pike Co., Ind, but wa, left an
orphan when child, and has made
her home principally with them.
She was a member of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church and
will be gre atty missed there.
Also a member of the w. c. +.
L. and has been a faithful member
ever since she was old enough, and
really before, for her h arts desire
was to join their ranks and they let
her join She has been our Cor.
Sec. for many years. She won the
banner last year for having the neat
est, complete and most prompt re-
port in the state.
Who will fill her place, and who
will be as faithful and true?
O how hard it was to give her up.
We know our loss is great but feel
il is her gain. Grace had many
friends and not an enemy in this
world. She was loved by all who
knew her, and especially by all
the children. This was plainly illus
trated when the corpse entered the
church door there was hardly dry
eve among them. "Do not weep
dear children, your teacher is not
dead but is asleep in Jesus"
Grace had lived a true Christian
life and was well prepared to meet
her Saviour.
She was inferred in the Shiloh
burying ground Sunday afternoon.
She leaves may relatives and
friends to mourn their loss. To
these we extend our heartfelt sym
pathy in this their darkest hour.
Weep not for her, she is not dead, but
sleepeth,
Weep not for her the Savior said,
Her deathless spirit shall survive,
Now let your mourning hearts revive.
Weep not for her, she is blest,
Her soul has entered into rest,
And now arrayed in robes OF white
She stands among the angels of light.
Weep not for her, though tears arise.
For she is happy in the skies,
And there she stands with beckoning
hand,
And calls us that peaceful land.
A FRIEND.

A Little Game OF Bluff.

The retail Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation of the United States recently
held its convention in indianapolis,
Ind. The association held sort of
plebiscite, and unanimously voted
that Prohibition died with Neal
Dow If this is really the
sober judgment of organized liquor
dom, the Prohibitionists have a
much less intelligent and level
headed antagonist to deal with than
they have supposed. Just as the
anti-slavery cause was intensified
when John Browns body was killed
and his soul sent marching on, so
Prohibition takes a new lease of life
when any of its advocates either
suffers martyrdom or dies a natural
death. The liquor dealers will find
the Prohibition issue the liveliest
corpse on which an interested and
self-elected coroner's jury ever gave
a verdict which simply embodied
the wish which was father to the
thought. Notwithstanding this
declaration of the liquor-dealers,
Prohibitionists should prepare to see
the leaders and rank and file of the
enemy act just as if they thought
the Prohibition issue very much
alive. 1t looks as if the liquor

The futcre historians will point
out with curious horror how Gin the
year of our Lord" 1896, the two Ii
cense monsters of corruption went
to the church for leaders-AND
FOUND THEM. And fought a duel
for what they called honor, when
from first to last it was beyond ques-
tion that the church was to be hin
dered and dishonored, and that
whether the Presbyterian or the
Methodist license leader should win
the seat Of power, the one fixed as
set of the government-the basic
point Of administration-was to be
the hundred and forty millions Of
blood money paid by the liquor
traffic for leave to cheat and fleece
and debauch and murder men for
whom the government existed, and
for whom Christian voters use their
political influence b put the church
into contempt.--John G.. Woolley.

LOSSES FROM BANK FAILURES.
What the Statistics of the Years Finau.
cial Disasters Show.

The report of the comptroller of
the currency for 1897 gives figures
relating to bank failures for the last
year, which afford conclusive evil
dence OF the absolute necessity of
safer places of deposit for persons Of
small means. The following table
shows the number and percentage
OF bank failures for the year.

Totals ...........i .i2,si7 iso las
For the year previous the failures
OF all banks were LOG per cent, and
OF savings banks l.1S per cent. For
the last year, as will be seen from
the table, the percentage Of total
failures to all banks was 1.25 per
cent. The striking fact of the
table is in the figures showing that
the percentage Of failures among
savings banks is the highest for
any class, or 1.49 per cent, where
as institutions that receive in trust
the savings of the poor should be the
safest and soundest of all. The
smallest percentage of failures is
for the national banks, institutions
patronized almost exclusively by
the well-to-do.
In the face of these figures it is
difficult to see how any intelligent
person can have the heart to oppose
the establishment of postal savings
banks, which would give to the
wage-earners and other persons of
limited means absolute security for
their small deposits. There are
those who profess to see in the pos
tai savings system the specter of
paternalism, from the influence Of
which they would protect the work
ingmen of this free and glorious re-
public at all hazards. We are Of
opinion, however, that the working
men Of this country would be bet
ter of if they were afforded less pro-
lection against paternalism and
other theoretical dangers and given
more assurance Of security for the
haid-earned savings they may lay
up against old age or adversity.-

arms, and there he lived as Randall's
friend, fellow-scholar and playmate for
sixteen months, by which time he had
forgotten his sorrows and had trans
ferred to his protectors about all the
measure of love and gratitude he had
ever felt for his own parents.
And then came changes. For nearly
year the boys had roamed together
over the neighborhood, hunting and
fishing, riding their ponies, living
healthy, active, outdoor life except
when at their lessons or asleep,
and the bond between them had
grown stronger and stronger as

the thick underbrush as it wound
away eastward. Time was when the
trail followed the canyon itself - a
mere mule path-but ever since the
night Of the@big cloudburst that swelled
the stream to the force and fury of a
Niagara and drowned old Sanchez and
his whole party of prospectors, packers
and pack mules, even the Indians
seemed to shun it. The only survivor
of the tragedy was a lad of twelve, the
son of Yankee miner, and his Mexican
wife-a lad whose name was Leon Mac
Mutt (MacNutt being the patronymic
and Leon the Christian name given him
by his dark-eyed, dark-haired, dark
skinned mother); and Leon, swept
away in the food. was 6shed out at
dawn several miles below by squad
of troopers from old Fort Retribution.
The little fellow was more dead than
and bruised by the dotsam and jetsam
of the wreck whirled along with him
by the raging waters and for time all
effort to revive him failed. When at
last he was able BDspeak and tell his
name he was lying in a dainty little
bed in cool room, with such gentle,
plying, motherly face bending over
him and such soft hands caressing his
heavy crop Of coal black hair, and be-
side the sweet womanly face was that
of sturdy Saxon boy of about Icons
own age, whose blue eyes were full of
anxiety and sympathetic interest. The
first handclasp the little orphan seemed
to recognize was this other boys. 1t
was in answer to his questioning that
the bewildered patients eebly murmured
his name, Leon MacNutt, and could
not at all understand the merriment in
the room when his questioner turned
with grave, perplexed, incredulous face
to the two gentlemen in uniform stand
ing by and wonderingly announced:
He says his names Lay on MacDuf. F"
And that was how the first boy Of our
story came to be hailed thereafter by
his trooper friends as MacDuf instead
of the patronymic to which he was en-
titled; even officers and ladies seemed
to find the title more whimsically at
tractive than the pretty Spanish-Mex-
lean name Of Leon, by which Mrs. Gull
len, the captains wife and Randall's
mother, always addressed him. One Of
the soldiers once referred to him as the
Waif Of Apache Canyon, but the big
tears that arose to the boys dark eyes
at any reference to the tragedy that
left him alone in the world crushed
that would-be witticism in the bud.
Without adoption, either formal or in
formal, Leon had become an inmate Of
Capt. Cullen's household from the mo-
ment of his arrival in Sergt. Kelly's

FEARS THE MOB.
Absconding Bank President viii Re
turn if Guaranteed Safety.

Louisville, Ky, Nov. $3.50 p. ma
special to the Evening Post says: John
H. Weathers, president of the defunct
English bank, which closed its doors
last Saturday has been located at Cory
don, Ind, 25 miles from this city lie
has announced his willingness to sur
render to the officers of the law TO an
swer any charge that may be brought
against him, provided he is guaranteed
protection. With this end in view, Sher-
if W. Q. Ballard left this morning with
a posse of 100 men, all friends of Wealth
ers, to accompany the ex-bank presi-
dent to this city and to guard him from
an outbreak of the present excited citI-
zens, who are thrOnging the streets The
party is expected to return at Z o'clock
tonight and it is then expected that
trouble viii probably ensue, as the peo-
pie of this and adjoining counties are
greatly incensed over the action of the
bank officers.
Cashier r. H WiIitt has not been
heard from, but friends came to his
rescue and have made up a fund
amounting to many thousands of dol
lars to cover any shortage or irregu-
larities that may be found in his ac-
counts. A telegram received today
stated that his wife is in a critical
condition at LeaVenworth, Ind. from
the shock The ts-agram also stated
that his grandmother in that city had
deposited a check for $4,000 for him,
provided he will return. 1t is believed,
however, he is in Canada.
