Henry Maxwell was silent some time.

Henry Maxwell was silent some time
Then he answered. @
mo; don't know that we can ex-
pect that. But when it comes to gen
uine, honest enlightened following Of
Jesus steps cannot believe there will
be any confusion either in our own
minds or in the Judgment of others.
We must be free from fanaticis.n on
one hand and too much caution on the
other. If Jesus example is the example
for the world, it certainly must be
feasible to follow it. But we need to
remember this great fact-afte1 we
have asked the Spirit to tell us what
Jesus would do and have received an
answer to it we are to act regardless of
the results to ourselves. Is that under
stood?"
All the faces in the room were raised
toward the minister in solemn assent.
There was no misunderstanding the
proposition. Henry Maxwell's face
quivered again as he noted the president
of the Endeavor society, with several
members. seated back of the older men
and women.
They remained little longer, talk
ing over details and asking questions,
and agreed to report to one another ev-
cry week at a regular meeting the re-
suit of their experiences in following
Jesus in this way. Henry Maxwell
prayed again. And again, as before, the
Spirit made himself manifest Every
head remained bowed q long time. They
went away finally in silence.
There was feeling that prevented
speech. Henry Maxwell shook hands
with them all as they went out. Then
he went to his own study room back of
the pulpit and kneeled down. He re-
manned there alone nearly half an hour
When he went home, he went into the
room where the dead body lay. AS he
looked at the face he cried in his heart
again for strength and wisdom, but not
even yet did he realize that move
ment had been begun which would lead
to the most remarkable series of events
that the city Of Raymond had ever
known.

man who had been a subscriber for
many years.
Edward Norman. Editor Of The Daily News, Ray
mond:
Dear Ed-What is this sensation you have given
the people of your burg? Hope you don't intend
to try the sreform business through the avenue
Of the press. It's dangerous to experiment much
along that line. Take my advice and stick to
the enterprising modern methods you have made
successful for The News. The public wants
prizefghts and such. Give it what it wants and
let some one else do the reforming business.
Yours,
Here followed the name of one of
Norman's old friends, the editor Of a
daily in an adjoining town.
My Dear Mr.. Norman-r hasten to write YOU
note Of appreciation for the evident carrying out
Of your promise. 1t is a splendid beeinninp and
no one feels the value Of it better than do. I
know something of what 1t will cost you, but not
all. Your pastor, HENRY MAXWELL.
One letter which he opened immedi-
ately after reading this from Maxwell
revealed to him something Of the loss tc
his business that possibly awaited him.
Mr.. Edward Norman, Editor of The Daily News:
Dear Sir-At the expiration Of my advertising
limit you will do me the favor not to continue as
you have done heretofore. l inclose check for
payment in full and shall consider my account

Jim's Transportation.

Jim was broke. However, he manag-
ed to reach Vancouver. and, walking
into the headquarters offices of the
Canadian Pacific, said to the manager
In charge: Il am Jim Wardner, and
am an old friend of Tom Shaughnes-
sey. Will you please wire him and tell
him that I am here broke, and want
transportation to Montreal?'
Back came the reply: Don't let Jim
walk"
, He got the transportation, and, ar
irving at Montreal, called at once on
Tom Shaughnessey.
Hello, Tom; SO glad to see you and
thank YOU
Well, we'll, JIM. is this really you?'
Then, with the. real. Shaughnessey
twinkle of the eye: How under the
heavens did you get here so soon, if
You were broker"
why, Tom, thanks to your telegram,
Don't let Jim walk of course I was
at once furnished transportation: and
here I am
"Cpnfound those operators" with
apparent severity. TT is strange they

Certainly not. My answer was:
Don't! Let Jim walk Montreal

Dissatisfied With the Doings Of the
Committee
Which Was Ssnt to Washington 10 Confer
With the Government.
The Members Of the Commission Do
Not Act in Accord, and Misrep-
resent the Status Of the Cuban
Army to President Mckinley.

HAVANA, Feb. 25.-The Cuban As
sembly met to-day and heard the re-
port of the committee which was sent
to Washington some time since to con-
fer with the Government regarding
Cuban affairs.
The Assembly was clearly dissatisfied
with the doings of the committee, mas
much as it's members had not acted in
accord-one day telling the President
that the Cuban army was composed of
10000 men, and the next that it con-
sisted of $4,000 men in the Cuban
ranks.
The commission presented a report OF
the conference with General Alger,
Secretary of War, and the Attorney
General, but failed to lessen the As
sembly's apparent feeling of disgust.
1t was finally decided to have the re-
port printed and to hand a copy of 1t to
each member of the Assembly, that
they might study it carefully. The
fact that $30OO,O00 on a basis of $lOO
for each soldier was adopted, and that
efforts to obtain more failed, makes
obligatory the Assembly's ratification
of the acceptance.
General Gomez did not attend the
meeting, neither did he send a repre-
sentative or a message. The next
meeting of the Assembly will be held
on Monday.
Governor General Brooke, General
Lee. General Ludlow, members or the
Cuban Assembly, members of the City
Council and the city and other officials
attended a banquet at the Tacon Inc
alter to-day. General Gomez spent the
afternoon at Quinto de Molines, where
he received several visitors, among
them General DiaZ.

KANSAS CITY (Mo), Feb. 25.-The
most positive identification of Jesse
James as one of the Leeds train rob-
bers was made in the courtroom to-day
by William J. Smith of Stokesberry,
Mo-, who was passenger on the Mis-
souri, Pacific train the night it was held
up. Smith testified that he got out
when the train stopped and walked up
among the robbers, one of whom placed
gun against his breast and ordered
him back into the car
Did that man have anything over
his face?'
HE had nothing over his face. He
had something black around his neck,
as if it was mask, slipped down."
How light was it?'
cit was very light The light streamed
out the mailcar door,
Did you get good look at that
MANI"
Eyes, sir"
do you see that man in the court
room?"
Mr.. Smith pointed at Jesse James,
sitting facing him, and said: Eyes, sir;
there he sits; right over there"
You mean the defendant, Jesse
James?''
yes, sir; I mean Jesse James,"
Unusual interest in the trial is being
shown, and spectators daily crowd ev-
cry inch Of spare space in the court
room.

A WILD STAMPEDE.
Fifteen Thousand Cattle Were In
IT. and Hundreds Were Killed.

One of the most desperate stampedes
of cattle ever witnessed by Texas
cowboy, says the Rev. J. B. Cranfil OF
Waco, occurred in 1876 on the prairie
in the center Of which now STANDS the
town of McGregor. Fifteen Thousand
cattle and twenty-five cowboys paruc-
ipated in the exciting event. MT. Gran
fill was not a participant, but he tells
the story as he got it from an eye
witness. Late in the afternoon OF July
4th there had been lively thunder
storm that made the cattle nervous.
At 10 o'clock at night, however, they
seemed to be sleeping profoundly linen
the narrative proceeds as follows:
'sThe stars were all shining and there
was no cause at all for the arouslng
of the herd. They appeared to get up
all at once with a single purpose, ana
the roar that was heard seemed to come
from a single throat. The Wilson
Brothers and their cowboys, who were
sleeping in the camp, rushed to their
ponies, which were grazing with their
saddles and brides on, and as fast as
the bits could be placed in their mouths
they mounted and galloped to the TANKS
of the now disappearing mass headed
in the direction of the BraZos River.
THE usual course on such occasions
is to get in front of the herd-a risky

A DECAYING NATION.
Narrowing Picture of the Tend
encv Of France.

Nations are like women, and when
they grow old continue to- believe them
selves young and pretty, and dislike
to hear remarks passed on their age.
With this true and trite observation
M. Drumont, the notorious Partisan
anti-Semite, begins a sensational ar
ticle. in the course of which he draws
his countrymen's attention to the sta
tistics recently published by NJ Ed
mond Thery. The figures given by this
authority are undoubtedly remarkable,
if not precisely new, and, according 10
M. Drumont, they show that France
is we'll on the way which has led Spain
to political and commercial ruin.
The first batch of figures deals with
the birth rate. From 1875 to 1897 the
population of Russia increased by AZ
per cent, that Of Germany by ~ per
cent, and the population of France
only by 67 per cent. In 1870 France
occupied the third rank in the Euro
pean hierarchy, with over 36,OOO,0 OO
inhabitants Germany then possessed
Al 100000. To-day Germany numbers
62. 25O,OOO, whereas France counts no
more than 3S,50OOOO. To every 100
Frenchmen there are 135 Teutons to-
day, and there will be 200 to lO0 at
the close of the twentieth century.
Passing to the subject of foreign trade
and means of transport, M. Drumont
points out that from the year 1873 to
1897 Russia built over $4,000 kilometers
of railways, and Germany almost ex-
actly as many, while France seemingly
cuts a fairly good figure with over TO-
TD,,f to, n O
state owns eleventh. elfths of it's rail-
ways, and in Russia the state has pur-
chased or constructed tWo-thlrds,
whereas in France the republic owns
only $500 kilometers out of a total of
As, 100 The principal proprietors OF
French railways are Germans OF
Frankfort, a circumstance which M.
Drumont declares prejudicial to the in
terests of the national defense.
Judged by the tonnage of her lner-
chant navy France occupied the sixth
place among European nations twenty
FIVE years ago. Since then Germany
has increased her tonnage by 15I per
cent, whereas France augmented hers
by only 81 per cent, and at present the
tonnage of British mercantile shipping
is 7,75O,OOO tons, that of Germany -
200, 600 tons and that Of France, whol is
still behind Norway, amounts to no
more than 500, 600 tons. The falling off
in the commerce and industry is said
to be equally alarming by M Drumont,
who suffers from periodic attacks of
patriotic pessimism. like most promi-
nent anti-Semites.
Germany has taken our place in the
commerce Of the world is his melan-
choly summing up of the statistical re-
turns The proof Of this alarming
statement he finds in the circumst
that from 1875 to 1897 Germany's ex-
ports to foreign countries increased by

RUDYARD KIPLING.
Attending Physicians Report His
Condition Alarming.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Rudyard Kip
ling's condition remained serious
throughout the day and early evening.
Mr.. Kipling's physicians issued the
following bulletin this evening: Mr..
Kipling has been in restless condition
throughout the afternoon and evening
one which causes anxiety, but is not
without hope
At the bedside during the night were
Mr.. Kipling's wife, his two daughters,
a son, J. M. Doubleday, DR.. Janeway,
DIR. Durham and three nurses.
Many others called, but were not adj
mitted. A great many messages were
received, including some cablegrams
from London.
Shortly after midnight Mr.. Double
day said that Mr.. Kipling was resting
more easily. but was still in serious
condition, and had been delirious at
times. He rallied from his weak condi-
ton, though not to any great extent.
The rally, however. was encouraging.
Mr.. Doubleday said that Mr.. Kipling
was at times conscious, and had been
able to drink little beef tea
At about 1890 o'clock DR.. Janeway
left for the night, and DR.. Durham
had retired. DR.. Doubleday and DR..
Janeway's son will watch by the sick
mans bed all night
