The story is going the rounds
that when Rudyard Kipling had
written "The Recessional," F" which
the editor Of the London Times
declared to be the greatest poem
written in the nineteenth century,
and which the whole world has re-
oeived as one of the greatest pieces
of work in our time, he was so de-
pressed by its shortcomings that
he threw the first rough copy into
the wastepaper basket. But Mrs.
Kipling has learned her husband
pretty well, and SO she rescued it.
But for Mrs. Kipling we should
have had no "Recessionall" Many
a great deed that has lifted hu-
munity upward has been nourished
and saved from defeat by the
watchful and loving sympathy of
some unknown member of the
home partnership. Eek.

FIRST PRAYER In CONGRESS-,
impressive suppIication offered By
am Episcopaiiaa Clergy
man In 1777.

We are most of us familiar with the
well-known engraving entitled "The
First Prayer in Congress" but few
persons haye ever heard that prayer
In Thatcher's Military Journal, under
the date Of December, 1777, is found a
note containing the identical first pray
er in congress, made by Rev. David
Buche, D. d., an Episcopal clergyman,
ut the time rector of Christ church,
Philadelphia. The subjoined is . copy
of it:
''Oh, Lord, our Heavenly Father, high
and mighty King of Kings and Lord ot
Lords, who dost from Thy Throne BIZ
hold az the dwelers of the earth, and
reignest with power supreme and uns
comfortable over the Kingdoms, empires
and governments, look down in mercy
we beseech Thee, on these American
states, who have fed to Thee from the
rod Of the oppressor and thrown them
selves on Thy gracious protection; de-
string to be henceforth dependent only
on Thee; to Thee have they appealed
for righteousness of their cause. to
Thee do they now look for countenance
and support which Thou alone canst
give. Take them, therefore. Heavenly
Father, under Thy nurturing care; give
them wisdom and yalor in the field. De
feat the malicious designs OF our adver-
saries; convince them of the unrigh-
teousness of their cause; and, If they
still persist in their sanguinary pur-
pose, oh, let the voice Of Thy unerring
justice, sounding in their hearts, con-
strain them to drop the weapons Of bat
tie. BE Thou present, 0 God Of Wis
dom, and direct the councils Of this hon
Srable asemblage; enable them to set
tie things on the best and surest foun-
dalton, that the scene Of blood may be
speedily closed; that order, harmony
and peace may be restored, and truth
and justice. religion and piefy prevail
and flourish among the people. Pre-
serve the health Of their bodies and the
vigor Of their minds; shower down on
them and the millions they here repre-
sent such temporal blessings as Thou
seest expedient for them In this world.
and crown them with everlasting glory
IN the world to come. An this we ask
IN the name and through the merits Of
Jesus Christ. Thy Son. on- Saviour
Amen

Story OF a Slave.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains OF disease is the worst

a slave was made free. He says: my

that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles Of
Electric bitters she is wonderfully i'm

III tHN AtN'HN aHoN"HNN VI wv
sions rendered in the Indian Ter
rltory by Judges Gill and Thomas,
who were so unfortunate as to in
~cur the displeasure Of the eKecu-
tive department OF the United
States government by holding and
expressing views OF law contrary
to those held in Washington, there
is an illustration Of the arrogance
Of the new imperialist spirit which
will not be lost on the American
people.
Judge ellis decision was in the
tribal tax case heard at Vinita, in
which he rules that officers OF the
interior department be restrained
from collecting the tribal taxes in
the Cherokee nation. United
States Attorney General Griggs, it
is said, entertains contrary view,
believing that the officers of the
government. acting on an Indian
reservation, hold the same status
as military authorities carrying
out an executive order, and that
they are therefore not amenable to
a restraining older issued by
court. II the secretary of the in
terror decides upon the enforce
ment of this tax, it is stated, he
may under Mr. Griggs' ruling pro-.
ceed to its collection even to the
length Of employing the military.
In the case of Federal Judge
Thomas. who. has enraged the Of
ficials Of the interior department
by restraining the townsite board
of Muskogee from selling town lots
as provided by the Curtis law, the
reports tell us that the indignation
of the interior department and the
department OF justice is so great
that movement has been begun
to remove Judge Thomas from Of
fee. Strong pressure is being
brought to bear to this end, it is
stated, and the indications point
to an early termination of Judge
Thomas judicial career in the In
dian Territory.
All this looks remarkably like
an effo.. on the part Of the execu-
tive department Of the government
to overawe Judicial officers who
have the moral courage to express
their convictions on the law or to
give redress against the arbitrary
eXactiOns OF the agents OF tne ue-
partment. AS an instance OF i'm
perialism right at home it is some-
what startling to thoughtful per-
sons. If the imperialist spirit has
grown to such proportions in this
country as to lead the administra-
ton to ignore the traditional in
dependence Of the Judiciary, what
may not be the high-handed course
of our government in the foreign
possessions Of the United StatesY
The Indian Territory casesare full
of significance on this head and de-
serve to be noted by the people
az laroa ST Touis Republic.
