Christian evangelism is marvelously sue
cessful in many ways. but every clear-eyed
missionary perceives how progress is han
dicapped and what a misfortune IL is that
Christianity Is compelled TO apologize for
Christendom.' IL is not the best OF Chris
tianity that has always made itself most
prominent and pervasive in the nonchris-
ton world.
I'm spite OF all this. however, those who
know the best Of heathendom and the worst
of Christendom, we who have seen COM
prehensively and fully both OF these two
worlds. believe that heathendom Is the con-
demnation OF heathenism, and that Chris
tendon. with all its faults, is ar argument
Christian nations are so conspicuous that
the ambassador for Christ is compelled TO
become an apologist, and If this position is
one of weakness. IL should also be one OF
andor frankness and modesty."

FOOD FOR FINGERS.
Fashion Prohibits the Use of Forks
for Certain Articles.
Philadelphia Record.

Phlladelphla Record.
There have always been certain articles
of food for which the use of forks, etc,
seemed superfluous. and for which fashion
permitted the use of the fingers, even in
the most particular dining. Occasionally
new dishes are added to the list TO which
the old-time expression applies-''fngers
ally understood that, in spite of the ever
spoons for use with every conceivable OBJ
ject on the table, there are certain edibles
which it is far better to eat with the
fingers.
While a few independent people dare set
aside the fashionable proprieties, many
others will do as they know they are ex-
pected. As a rule. sugar tongs are passed
with block sugar, but, as a diner-out once
said. II much prefer to use my fingers. for
IL you are not just so careful. It drops with
a spludge.' which Is very humiliating."
any attempt to use a fork is foolish. When
passed they should be dipped out with the
spade-like spoon accompanying. then drop
ped on the bread and butter plate and car
ried to the mouth with the thumb and fore
finger.
Bread. toast and all kinds of small cakes
should be taken in the finge1s, as well as
cheese, though some very particular people
use a fork with the latter.
AT the most fashionable luncheons high
bred danes may be seen taking the leg or
small pieces of a bird in their fingers,
though this is one of the disputed points.
II will be noticed. usually. that those who
have always been accustomed to good So
ciety are not SO afraid to use their fingers
as those who fear to do something i'm
proper.

WITH DEATH LOWERING NEAR,
James Garrard Stevenson Remarries q
Wife HI Had Neglected.

CHICAGO. April 2S.-Down in Arizona a
dust-clad man rode up to an adobe hut
three days ago. He was a physician, and
the cowboy who brought him had travelled
many miles over the sandy hills. The doc
tor enterd the little cabin and looked at the
man who lay there in the bunk.
"You nave one more week to live he
said.
At that the man in the bunk stirred and
raised himself on his elbow. Seven days."
he Then he left the bunk with
some effort and wrote a telegram.
To-day this man, James Garrard Steven
son, a grandson of Kentucky's old Gov
ernor, remarked his former wife at his
fathers home in Woodlawn. The telegram
he sent from the clay-clothed cabin in Ari-
IONA, where he had gone after health. was
dispatched to his old Missouri sweetheart,
who is now a clerk in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington. 1t asked her to come
to C~hicago-the lack of words told better
than the intent that he was dying. Yes
terday morning she came and found her
former husband. He was waiting outside
the station in a cab. The driver was told
TO go to the courthouse. And there a Ii
cense permitting them to remarry was is
sued. To-day the was performed
at the home of David Stevenson, in Wood
lawn.
MIR. Stevenson will not live another
week." said his friend and physician. TT
Is doubtful whether he will live another
day."
Stevenson was born in Glasgow and his
former wife in Marshall, Mo. They were
married eleven years ago and went to Chi
cage to live. During the worlds fair Stew
enson made considerable money I'm real es-
tate. Six years ago he became Ill from fol-
lowing the teachings of a sect which he
had Joined. The physician intimated that
consumption would follow unless he built
himself up. Stevenson went to Arizona to
improve his health. In the meantime Mrs.
Stevenson had left her husband. He adj
mitted last night that in his search after
great problems he did not think of her as
often as his duty demanded. She was left
without means of support and went TO
Washington, D. c., where she supported
and cared for the two children. The tele-
gram was the first word Mrs. Stevenson
had from her husband for four years.

WHOLE STATE SOAKED.
Heavy Rains Reported by the Wealth.
err Bureau-Boys Missing.

GALVESTON, Tex. April 2S.-Many
streets here are flooded from curb to curb
to-day, owing to the tremendous rains last
night. A hailstorm yesterday afternoon
and last night shattered many windows,
wrecking greenhouses and photograph sky
lights. caused runaways and killed many
birds. The government weather report
shows the whole State was visited by yes
terday's storm. The greatest precipitation
was in Temple and Waco. being six inches.
Three boys were caught in a boat in Gal
weston bay and are believed to nave been
rowned. Another. storm to last two days
is at noon predicted by the Government
Weather Bureau. The Brazos valley is ex-
pected TO be flooded from Waco to the
gulf. The water at Sealey is now up to the
highest point reached in the disastrous
flood of last July.
A bulletin from Denison says the Ca
madam river in the Indian Territory is ris-
ing fast and threatening heavy damage to
railroad and other property. People are
alarmed at the fearful flood. The river at
Denison is on a big rise, and an overflow
is considered sure. The river has risen ten
feet to-day, and railroad and other people
expect IL to go to fifteen feet.
A telegram Was TeCelNeu tO-nlBut at tut
headquarters of the Santa Fe Railroad
from w. b. Scott, superintendent of the
southern division that the Brazos river
was rapidly rising on the Montgomery
branch; rising three inches an hour at
Thompson. where the Santa Fe crosses the
Lower Brazos. Mr.. Scott expressed fears
that there would be trouble on the Lower
Brazos. He reported Little river rising a
foot an hour, and said that the stream
was much higher than ii was during the
flood earlier in the month. He reported
one hundred feet of track washed out at
one place on the Montgomery branch, and
five hundred feet in another place, but said
1t was expected that trains would be got
through tomorrow.
The Southern Pacific is operating its
trains for California around the wrecked
bridge at Columbus by the same route as
before. A day train goes as far west as
Alleyton. 1t is reported here that all
trains on the San Antonio & Arkansas Pass
and the New York, Texas & Mexican trains
out of Houston nave been abandoned. At
the International & Great Northern offices
General Agent Hawley stated that all divi-
sions of that line are open. No information
concerning the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
could be obtained tonight. The trains of
that line arrived and departed on time.
