dsPa's Prayers"

One hard winter, when sickness
came TO the poorly paid pastor Of a
certain New England church, his flock
determined 70 meet at his house and
offer prayers for the speedy recovery
sof. the sick ones, and FOR. material
blessings upon the pastors family.
While one OF the desooas wa5 odering
a fcrvent prayer for blessings upon
the pastors household, there was a
loud knock at the door. When the
door was opened, stout farmer.boy
was seen.

one Of the members.

piled the boy.

pies, warm clothing, and a lot Of jel-
lies for the sick ones. The prayer.
meeting adjourned in short order.

Sin regard TO the fever at present
affecting the South, l must confess
that do not regard it as being par
ticularly mild. IF it continues at the
rate indicated this morning, Monday,
of II 12 per cent, it will about equal
the mortality of the Jacksonville cpl
demic, and will exceed that of the
Brunswick outbreak, which reached a
ratio of 8 per cent. The low rate of
death is accounted for by the fact that
We diagnose early all mild cases as
well as the more serious ones, and the
ratio was made by a comparison with
the increased number Of cases treated
In the old days it was customary
to omit from consideration hundreds
Of extremely mild cases which recov-
cred after very brief attack, and 10
ignore the negro cases, considering
only the grave ones and basing a NOR
tality upon this latter class. This
naturally gave an excessive death rate
and an unjust one. With the report
ing Of all cases, mild and severe, the
death rate will show marked vari-
ance, and on the right side, as against
the epidemics Of 1873 and prior.
In further regard to the present
outbreak I do not believe that the
course Of the fever @ill be toward q
severe epidemic. While I believe
there will be considerable spread Of
the fever, there is no reason to appre'
hend anything particularly serious
It behoovos the people here 60 be eau
tious and circumspect. To avoid ap
preaching infection and to report al
Suspicious cases without delay. Dis
infection and prosapt sanitation viii

Texas Pioneer Dead.

General Hamilton p. Bee, one of
the most famous of the carly Texas
pioneers, veterans and heroes, died at
his homo in San Antonio, Tex. He
was aged seycnty-ivc years.
General Bee was born in Charles
ton, S. c., and went to Texas when
fifteen years Of age. In 1899 General
Bee was appointed secretary on the
part Of Texas to the commission to
run the boundary line between Texas
and the United States from the mouth
of Sabine Bay to Bed river, work
that was completed in 1S4l. Cessecon
Hunt was the Texas commissioner,
and Judge j. II. Oyerton, Of Louis
lana, tho American. George w.
Smyth represented Texas as engineer,
While two young United States army
engineers represented the United
States. These were General Joseph
E. Johnston and Genera! George G.
Meade. General Bees next service
was as one Of a party, headed by j.
c. Eldridge, sent by President Hous-
ton to fnd anu treat with the Com
manche Indians. With them were
Thomas Torey and a few friendly
Delaware Indians as guides and in
terpreters. They left Fort Martin,
thirty miles from Waco, in March,
1843, and for five months they never
saw hut or sign of civilization. For
days at a time they were without
food. When 500 miles from the near
est cabin, though bearing a white flag,
they were captured by over thousand
Commauche warriors. A council Of
chiefs sat on their destiny from the
rising to the setting OF the anr, the
Delawares, who were not in danger,
using ali their power to save them,
and ut frequent intervals advising
them Of their seemingly Fixed doom.
Ae the sun neared the horizon every
chief but one had given his voice fol
] the death OF the three white men,
learning which through the interpre'
ters they resolved on their course
They wouad not suffer Indian tortur O.
but, having two pistols, they resolved

take them to the stake, with one each
would kill Commanche and with the
other end his own existence. But the
head chief Of all the Commanches,
Hanayala, who presided in the council
arose and spoke. He said the Great
Spirit would not be pleased If the
Commanches killed the messengers oil
peace; that the white flag must b(
respected, or the face Of the Spiri,
would be turned from them. When
the first State legislature assembled
en February 10, 1916, General Bee
was elected secretary Of the Senate,
but in May resigned, and, in response

just as He Dreamed 1t.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, October l0.-
George Anderson, OF this city, an engi-
neer ON the Wabash railroad, died Of
injuries which he received in q head
on collision ct Naples on Wednesday.
On the morning of the accident
Anderson dreamed that he had been
in q collision, that he had been PIN
ioned beneath his engine, and chat
the esoapingn steam had began to burn
his Mesh, when he awoke. Anderson
was troubled by the dream and told
his family .heut it. He ss;d he felt
that there was warning in the dream,
and he was almost persuaded not to
go out on the road that day, but he
went. Anderson salked to his fireman
about the presentimsnt.. It.eviden,ly
p-eysd upon his mind, FOR ne became
abstracted in manner and almost heed
less Of mis- surroundings. The nearer
the train approached its destination
the more distraught Anderson became,
and he had the appearance of dream
;ng ags:n as As vent about mis- work
in the cab. He did not give his usual
attention to the fireman, and the latter
felt that something was wrong with
the engineer.
AT Bluffs Conductor Garrison set
the orders at the depot and took them
sos Anderson. The engineer heard
them read and attended to the reading
in the same absent-minded manner
that had marked-his conduct through
out the morning. Taking the eopsea
he mechanically placed them under
his seat cushion. AS the conductor
turned away from, the cab Anderson
called him back and said:
I am going to have one Of the mes.

asked him what, made him say thia.
+ know isis so, replied *Ander-
son, because I hsd trouble with my
engine all last nighs and could not
sleep. am going to have head-on
collision. =
Garrison told him he had only suf-
fered q nightmare. Anderson shook
his head gloomily and said he knew
the accidentw would occur. Anderson .
orders instructed him to meet local
freight at Merics zs;aa .it fcr that
train to- take the siding. When the
point was reached Anderson gave no
|inclination Of stopping his engine,
and as bis train dashed by the switch
