Mr.. Revell told a story of the one
time in Moody's life that he had ever
known him to reply to newspaper
criticism, says the Chicago Times
Herald. Some years ago" said Mr..
Revell, some of the papers began to
say that Mr.. Moody was making a good
thing financially of his reputation. AS
rule Mr.. Moody never paid much at
tention to criticism, He was wont to
say that no two people thought alike
of everything or received always the
same impression, He was friendly to-
ward the public press, claiming that it
was a great educator and great power
in the spreading of both secular and
religious knowledge. But he was deep
iy grieyed this time. He referred to
the criticisms one day in the pulpit here
in Chicago. There were tears in his eyes
and his voice quivered as he spoke.
AS I know my heart, before God, he
said, l have never let the desire for
money determine my conduct in any
way. | know I am weak and sinful in
many ways, but the devil has not that
hold upon me. l have never profited
personally by a single dollar that has
been raised through my work. 1t hurts
me to be charged with this above all

Mr.. Revell added that, though Moody
had received over 81, 125,000 from royal
ties on his work, he had never used
penny of it for personal purposes, re-
serving 1t all to further his work. MIR.
Moody was good financier," he said,
land took great care of his money, but
not to save it and build a fortune.
Rather he desired it to use in his
work. I fully believe he died poor

SAL0ONKEEPER
is SHOT DEAD
Drunken Customer ResentS Be-
ing Elected and Fires Two
Fatal Shots From Revolver

New York, Dec. 25.-Nicholas Schmidt,
a Jersey City saloonkeeper, was killed
at an early hour today while trying to
close his place. All his customers ex-
cept one had gone. He, Theodore Brun-
merit of homestead, N. j., sat in the
corner, drowsy with drink.
Come" said Schmidt, Il want to
close up"
Brunnert, however, could not be
aroused by any of the peaceable eff
forts of the saloonkeeper, and the lat
ter grasped him about the body and
pulled him toward the door.
In maudlin stupor, the customer be-
gan to complain and curse. Suddenly
he shook himself loose, and, in an APP
parent rage, drew a revolver and fired
twice. The first shot went wild, but
the second shot pierced the heart. The
murderer fled, but was arrested an
hour OF two later.

MOODY AND sANKEY.

Ira D. Sankey, the associate of Mr..
Moody in evangelistic work, said in an
article published recently in Success:
Il consider Dwight L. Moody the
most remarkable man of the century,
distinguished especially for his devo-
ton to the cause of Jesus Christ and
the betterment of the world. His char
acter is marked by great common
sense and by the utmost sincerity; his
heart by singleness of philanthropic
purpose, and his life by the tremen-
dous power of achievement. His work
has resulted in the conversion of hun
dreds of thousands of men and women :"
Mr. Sankey described the manner in
which he met Mr.. Moody. He was at
the Indianapolis convention as a dele
gate of the Y. M. c. A. of New Castle,
Pa, in 1870. During a prayer meeting
at which Mr.. Moody presided. the sing
ing was poor, and Mr.. Sankey sang the
hymn, There is a fountain filled with
blood" After the meeting Mr.. Moody
asked him to leave the internal revenue
service and join him in his Christian
work. Six months later Mr.. Sankey
Joined Mr.. Moody at Chicago, where he
worked for year and a half.
THE MOODY SONG BOOK.
During the first visit of Messrs.
Moody and Sankey to Britain they were
in need of book of songs to use at the
meetings, and got up a hymn book, says
the Chicago Times-Herald. No publish
er would bring out the book, although
Mr.. Moody offered to give it to any
one who would print it and give him
what copies he wanted to use. Finally
Mr.. Moody was compelled to have the
book printed at his own expense. 1t
has since attained a larger circula-
ton than any other publication except
the Bible, and is one Of the best paying
literary properties in the world. Every
dollar of the profits of the book has
gone to charity in one form or another.
INVITED TO A SALOON.
'They were going to have a great
celebration at the opening of saloon
and billiard hall in Chicago, in the
northern part of the city, where I
lived' said Mr.. Moody a year or two
ago, 1T was to be one of the worst
places in Chicago. AS joke they sent
me an invitation to come to the open
ing I took the invitation and went
down and saw the two men who had
the saloon and I said;
Is this a genuine invitation?
"They said it was
s" Thank you,' l said I will be

Pretoria, Sunday, Dec. 1.-THE gov
escape of Winston Churchill, and the
officials are doing their utmost to dis
cover how he got away. The officials
have instituted house to house search
for discriminating papers.
The Volkstem asserts that he escaped
disguised as a woman. The last book
Churchill borrowed from the library
was Mills, on Liberty.

ticed that the facial angle Of the mon
keys changes as they advance in intel
ligence, and gave as an example the
large baboon which acts the part OF
the "old man" in one Of the scenes:
When he first got this animal, 1t had
a peaked face and very receding fore-
head Now it's cheeks have filled out
and the forehead seems to have become
higher.
Owing to the fact that monkeys die
easily, and are subject to disease ne
is obliged to carry a number of UNDER
studies who are constantly associated
with the older monkeys, and are get
ting accustomed to the stage. He gives
them about two hours trainings in
the mornings, as this is the most con-
venent time. He has II varieties al
together, and the hardest work he has
is in keeping peace among so many
representatives of hostile tribes A
word or a gesture will sometimes suf-
flee to stop fight, but at other times
it is necessary to use a whip to quell
the incipient riots which are bound to
occur.
Mr. Wormwood has 27 dogs Of all
sorts. The terriers, spaniels and poo
dies make the best performers, though
there are some Newfoundlands which
are very intelligent. AS in the case
of the monkeys, each dog has its own
characteristic, and is particularly fit
ted for one kind of work only. 1t is
easier to teach the dogs pure mechan-
lcal tricks rather than those which re-
quire reasoning, though in the case Of
the large Newfoundland which does
mathematical problems, it proved ca
sier to teach him 10 think than to work.
He is q most sensitive dog and is
afraid of doing anything until he is
sure he is perfectly right. Sensitive
dogs are more
SUSCEPTIBLE TO EDUCATION,
says Mr. Norwood, and make the
best companions.
The little italian greyhound, which
does the athletic feats. has been under
training for two and one-half years, in
just the same way as a human athlete
is trained. When she has finished her
act, she is rubbed down carefully, and
given stretching exercises. She has
become so strong now that she is able
to hang for an hour by one foot alone.
Mr. Norwood loves his animals,
and is as careful of their comfort as
he would be of a child. They seem to
have a great deal of affection for him,
and understand his wishes During
the summer season, they live together
in the country, where the monkeys
have a reasonably free range of fields,
and the dogs have good runs every
day. In fact, during his week in Wor-
cester scarcely a day passed that the
dogs were not seen playing about the
common, in charge of one of the assist
ants

Her crime was the murder of Mrs.
Lane, by whom she was employed as
a servant. and of whose husband she
was enamored
She declared she killed Mrs. Lane
because she loved the latter's three
children and saw no means of gaining
control Of them while their mother was
alive, Not word would she admit Of
the true reason-the love of Lane, who
failed to reciprocate.
She was entreated to accept the serv-
ices of counsel, but declined. Coaxing
