THE HANNA HI MBCG.

No less respectable a paper than
the Philadelphia Press says Of the
Prcsident,clcct and his campaign
manager;
There is every reason why Major
Mckinley would naturally turn to
Mr.. Hanna rs one Of the main props
of the cabinet. In the very nature
OF the case Mr.. Hanna Will be close,
trusted and confidential adviser, and
it is entirely reasonable on the part
Of the Presidcnt-eect to desire that
he be constantly at hand in the circle
OF official advisers. The relation be-
tween few public men have been such
as exist between these two cOnSpicouS
| figures on the national arena.
II Hanna is to be "clOSe, trusted
and confidential adviser OF the next
President. it would be on some ac-
counts better that he should be in
the Official rather than in the "kltch'
en-" cabinet. At the head Of depart
mcnt the country could at the least
have It's eye on him. Publicity is bet
ter than secrecy in this matter Of
props" to Il President.
The "rclatiUns' between Hanna
and Mckinley, as the former under

views. He evidently regards him

POSSESSES A "BUG BIBLE.n
TIE ONLY ONE IN A-OTHEI
THREE OWNED IN ENGLAND.

James Vincent, ST., Of Tabor Iowa,
owns the only copy Of the bug Bible"
in the United States. So he writes to
Librarian Stevenson, OF the Allegheny
Carnegie Library. There is no direct
offer OF sale but a suggestion that it
should be in some puDlic library, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mr.. Vincent says the Bible was
brought to this country in lS4S, and
that it is one Of only four copies ex.
tant, the remaining three being in
English collections. lie says it bears
date Of l549, and has the introduction
by Miles Covcrdale. His allusOn to
the queer translation Of Il word, which
has given this Bible the name OF
Bug, is correct, and il he states
the date accurately it is a more
precious copy than that generally
called the "Bug Bible" In the fifth
verse Of the Ninety-tlrst Psalm the

be afraid for any bugges 10y night,
whereas the authorized version has
terror" for "hugges"-possibly a word
akin with bogir, and not an old Eng.
lish plural Of bug,
Then Mr. Vincent alludes to the
curious note OF the editor to the third
chapter OF the first epStle OF st. Pc
ter, where the text alludes to the wife,
Sara; "And if she be not obedicnt
and helpful unto him lhcl endeavorcth
to beat the fear OF God into her head.
that thereby she may be compelled
to learn her duty and to do it," Such
were sixteenth century ideas OF dis
plining wife,
Mr. Stevenson says he has no fund
available for the purchase OF rare cdi-
tiOns OF the Bible, for il once begun
an approach to even a fine collection
would entail a large expenditure.
The bug Bible" has its much better
known companions, all named from
Typographical errors, as the Vinegar
Bible" which calls the parable Of the
vineyard that OF the 'yncgar:' the
"Peacemaker's Bible" which con-
talns the spois doctrine by making
placcmakcrs, and not pcacemakerS
blessed and not least OF all, the
wicked Biblc,n which leaves mot"
out OF the Seventh Commandment.
In 1877 there was held in South |,
Kensington, England, the Caxton
memorial celebration, in honor OF the |
foul hundrcdth anniversary OF CaX-
tons printing press. Part Of the cx-
hibitlon was devoted to Bibles, and
therein was bug Bible" OF 1851. 1t
was known as the Matthews transla-
ton. a pseudOnym for John Daniel,
and the text was that Of COverdale,
the first translator Of the complete
Bible into English from the 'DOuChe
and Latyn." But the bag error IS
also in the Matthews edition of l5i9.
1t was in these days when the com
mon people dared not possess Bible,
and William Lyndale was stranglcd
to death. But what this CaXton eX-
hibition solved, was what as literary
my stery had elected inquiry for three
centuries, Where was the Coyerdale
translation printed?' 1t was settled
h. be Antwerp, Belgium, and curious
" enough that is where Mr.. Ninccnt's
Bible was printed.

spend the evening with the family,
and Mrs. Williams was most anxious
that her little boy should appear at

"Dr. Schultz will ask you your name,
and you must tell him it is "Willic," !"
and he will ask you how old you are,
and then you must say "uvc," and he
will want TO know where little bad
boys go, and you must tell him, "they
60 to hell" DO you understand? Not
content with rcpitition once or
twice, Mrs. Williams drilled him
again and again in the answers.
DR.. Schultz came as expected, and,
after a short conversation with the
hostess, lifted the child on his knee
and said: "Wcll, my little fellow, can
you tell me your namc?" Imagine the
surprise OF the reverend doctor when
like "A flash came the answer: "Willie.
Five years old. Go to hell"
