MORE FROM REV. wIRT.
What lie Says of Cape Nome. He Will Miss
 The Great Religious Weekly.

SAN FRANCISCO, 9-13-09, DEAR JUDGE:
 keep my word if some what tardy. I promised to send you few items relating to my journeyings, and here they are all set up in type. The day after tomorrow Mrs. Wirt and I start for Anvil City, on the steam CT Bertha. We are to be accompanied by Mrs. Wirt's sister, Miss Benton, and a staff of four lady nurses for the hos pital.
 We are going well equipped to meet all of Boreas' attacks, and expect to come out alive in the spring.
 One of our greatest sorrow is that the bright face of the "Great Religious Weekly" will be so infrequent visitor hereafter, unless some mail comes in over the ice we can get no word from the outside world until next June. Please give my regards to the boys in my militia company and believe me,
 Cordially yours,
 LOYAL l.. WIRT.

These, a. q rule, leaned upon the arms Of

hands for safe keeping. many q withered
face lighted up in . smile Of thankfu;ness,
and many God bless you!' as thanks to
the vicar was fervently uttered.

Of noon thirty-thrse happy old women hsd
turned homsward to realize substantial
