THE ROCK OF ACES
Curious Statement As to Where ths Writer of the Famous Hymn Got
 Ills TnsDiralion


 In a recent letter written to Dean Le Froy by Sir William Willis. a mem- Der of parliament for Bristol. he made A very curious statement which has naturally excited a great deal of in terest in the ecclesiastical world. Sir Williams writing was in relation to the strange circumstances connected with the first inspiration of the famous hymn. Rock of Ages Cleft for Me. The story which has just been brought out by Sir William in his own words Is as follows: "DSCing the reading of some old documents recently I came a@foss statement in regard to Top ia3t inspiration for his famous hymn H.tch seems to prove that the original Rock of Ages is in Burlington Coombe. which is on the edge of my place, and after careful investigation of the mat ter am satisfied that the story is true In every particular It appears that one day the distinguished author was caught In a heavy thunderstorm in Harrington Coombe, and there taking shelter, between two massive piers of our native limestone rock, he penned his famous hymn that has immortal ized him." In all England there Is probably no more beautiful. weird, or romantic spot than Harrington Goombe "a deep indenture in the dark, swell ing hill known as Black Down which. rising to the height of 1 100 feet. forms the summit of the Mendip Range. The road winds through Harrington Coombe, between lofty. and in some places, precipitous slopes, where the gray rock shows boldly among the 6raeken. At one point there is a con- spicuous crag of mountain limestone seventy or eighty feet in height. a prominent object on the right hand to any one approaching from Bladgon road. Right down the center of this mass of stone Is deep Assure. in the recess of which grows many a fern. while on the hillside around are trees whose stunted growth and wind-worn appearance tell Of the scanty soil and the exposed situation This was the Assure in which Toplady took refuge, and 1t was this "eleft" and this rock which suggested the central idea of his beautiful hymn.

Teacher of the English Language In few days he. got pupil at the rate of one franc a week. by the end of the week he had several pupils; his fame spread so that in few months he had four classes, each class with 20 pupils, meeting in his room at different hours of the morn ing and the evening. His weekly in- come now was 80 francs, or S16, which was twice as much as he needed for his support. All this time he was learning the French language by teaching the English and by talking with his pupils At the end of the first year be could count dollars in his pocket by the hun dred. Meanwhile. having managed to pick up some scraps of German. he de- termined to try his luck in one of the university cities Of Germany He there put out small sign bearing hts name and the words, Teacher of English and French" He got ,mQFe pupils .than he had in Paris, and meanwhile, not only perfected himself in the German tongue, but took lessons in Latin and Greek at classical academy.

DESTINY OF THE NEGRO.
Booker T. Washington Tells His Ides
 of Et.


 Booker T. Washington principal oi the Tuskegee (Ala1 Normal and In dustrial institute. addressed the League for Political Education recently on the subject of Race Problems. says the New York Times. He said that the so- lution of the race problem might be summed up in the statement that ip proportion as the negroes were inn proved along educational, industrial and moral lines in that same propor- ton would the evils affecting the race be eliminated
 You cannot, however" said the speaker, bring about these necessary ' reforms in a day or by any short cut 1t Is a matter of time and patience. Bring proper influence to bear upon the negro, make his environments con genial and uplifting, work on him not so much directly as uneOnsciously, and the matter will in time solve itself For, let me say that we are not going to stay here in order to help you, our government and our country
 The speaker then referred to the movement some years ago which sought to solve the race problem by transporting negroes to Liberia. But that won't solve it. the speaker add ed. Those people Rho thought that sending 600 black men to Liberia would be the beginning Of satisfac- tory ending of the race problem for got that on the very morning that those negroes were transported 600 or more black babies were horn. Noe will the problem be solved by putting the blacks In any territory in the west. For first, you would have to put up s wall about the territory to keep the negroes in, and then you would have to put up another wall to keep the white men out No there is better and a higher solution of the difficulty than that. The negroes ought to be taught to do as good work as the white man in agriculture and in all industrial lines. The conditions with which they are surrounded should be studied care fully. They should be taught the dig nifty, the beauty and the civllizlng pow CT of labor, and that there is no dis grace in any kind of work. Above all, they should be educated wherever and as fully as it is possible. and then their ignorance would not be made preteKt for keeping them down.
 Let me remind you that there ars nearly 10000 900 of us, and that wher- eyer our life touches yours we either help or hurt you. There can be no separation of our destinies. Let us then settle. the problem in B sensible and logical manner Let us. in short. make the negro a man so that he caR do as much work as a white man ana meet him with full confidence in . business way. Make him a useful ana an important member of the eommun- ity in which he lives. and then, be- lieve me. he will work out his ow@ salvation"

My brother was seereted at one end Of th6 lake, and I in canoe kept the bird in motion, trying to get 1t within range of my brothers gun, and giving 1t a chance whenever a chance offered. Although harried for two or three hours 1t never once attempted to rise from the water. There was a slight breeze, if mistake not, but not enough to be of any use in the looms attempt to escape by flight. During the chase the loon swan a distance of 200 yards or more under water, repeatedly with put appearing above the surface.

 Vice President Stevenson used to tell ! story which John c. Breckenridge had told him to illustrate the tradi- tionaI relations between the president and the man whose principal business it is to wait for the possible death of the president in order that he may take 5he presidents chair, and the New York Mail and Express thus gives cur rency to it. Breckenridge said that Buchanan never consulted him about any important matter, although as a Kentuckian. having the confidence of most of the southern leaders, he felt that his advice might at times have been valuable to the president In the early fall of 1860, when Buchanan's term was nearing an end. amid th8 gathering clouds of war, Vice-President Breckenridge received an urgent sum mons to the White House. He re- spOnded at once, thinking that at last the president wanted his advice on the momentous questions then pending When he arrived he was shown into the presidents room, and Mir Buohal- an. who was alone, called his private secretary and instructed him to see that they were not disturbed during the importapt conference which was to follow. When the private secretary dad withdrawn the president unlocked the private drawer in his desk. took out manuscript, sat down with great solemnity and said to Vice President Breckenridge in his most impressive manner: T want to read you the draft of my Thanksgiving day proclamation and to get your opinion of it' The yice-president controlled hls facial muscles. listened respectfully and se- riously. made some complimentary re- marks about the important document, and with his customary courtesy, bowed and smiled his way out from the only interview to which he was ever invited by President Buchanan.
