Then the carriage stuck fast. The
bride mounted one horse, the groom
tGe other, and the coloIed driver went
on foot. Mrs. Culp was thrown from
her horse into a hugh snowdrift, and
was rescued with great difficulty.

happy over the phenomenal recovery of
his 11.year-old daughter Bonnie, whose

her nose, badly disfiguring it. Recently
the little girl in her afflicted condition,
was seized with fit OF sneezing and
dislodged the deforming lump, which
proved to be snoe button, forced up
her nose when she was but two years
old. The sore has entirely healed and
the girls health is fast recovering.

A MOUNTAINEER'S RELIGION.
He Went to Church and suddenly
Discovered That He was an
"EpiscopaI."

Last summer Rt. Rev. Thomas u.
Dudley, Episcopal bishop of Kentucky,
thought he would make journey
through the mountains of eastern
Kentucky and look up the scattered
members of his flock and endeavor to
get foothold for his church among
the mountaineers, says the New York
Post. But as he journeyed from set
tlement to settlement without meet
ing man who had ever even heard of
the Episcopal church he grew some
what discouraged. At last he came to
village where, upon inquiry, he was
told that there was ian Episcopal" in
the neighborhood, and so the good
bishop proceeded to look him up.
After introducing himself and disclos-
ing the object of his visit, Bishop Dud-
ley asked the mountaineer if it were
fact that he was an, Episcopalian.
"Oh, yes replied he. "Im an Epis-
copal."
where were you confrmed?" in
quired the bishop. The poor man had
never even heard the word. where,
Lneu, were you DdptlZeu
II know all about that" replied he,
Though precious few folks baptized
in these parts but don't know wheth-
er was ever baptized or not"
"Then why do you call yourself an
Episcopalian continued the bishop.
"Well, now, stranger, I'll tell ye,"
said he. Some five or six years ago
was summoned down to Louisville as a
witness in one of these 'moonshine'
cases, you know. Well, we was KEEP
over Sunday, and after breakfast, as
knowed nobody thar and nobody
knowed me, I TUX a walk down the
street, from my lodgin's, and directly
1 saw everybody goin' into great big
fine church, and sez TO myself, III go
too. SO 1 went in and sat down, and
in little while the bell it stopped
a-jingling; thar was some kind of big
music rolled around, and then il
stopped, too, and feller in a long
white gown he got up at the other end
OF the room from me and said some
thing or other / couldn't hear, and
then every man, woman and child in
that room got down on their knees
and seq they: oh, Lord, we've dun the
things we ortn't to ha' dun, and we
amt dun the things we orter to ha'
dun, and seq l myself, that's me, I'm
one of them very kind of fellers, and
when we all cum out | asked feler
what Hnd of church that thar wuz,
and sed he: It's an Episcopal church.
and so, stranger, I've called myself an
Episcopal ever since that trip to Louis
Vile"

Neither by the hazard of chance nor
the conquest of battle can we take ter
ritory for part of our domain where,
because of the peculiar conditions, the
flag and constitution cannot have full
play. 1t is all wrong for us to acquire
territory where it is impossible for its
people to have the same constitutional
rights and liberties as our own citizens.
De not depart from the doctrine of
taxation with representation. This ma
tion must not enter on a career of
conquest. Love of money and con-
quest must not be allowed to break
down good government with it's grand
ideals. The nations of Europe may
devour the weaker countries. Let us
pursue a different mission in the
worlds history. 1t is not necessary
for the United States to shoot, con-
quer and annex in the Orient in order
to get its trade. Our greatest trade
is with England. And was there ever
talk of anneXing that land? The best
way to get the trade of Oriental coun-
tries is to send their people the best
goods.-Senator Daniel.

they are the worst lot of men in the

We read the other day letter in
The Outlook from a correspondent in
the Philippines bearing strong testi-
mony to the profound and universal
hatred of Americans by the Filipinos.
He asures us that 'every Filipino is
at heart an insurrecto." He is quite
confident that this state of things is
due to too much "clemency" on the
part of the United States. The uncon
scious satire of this is furnished in the
estimate that we have killed over 90
600 Filipinos since the war broke out
and reported the killing of 900 the very
week the correspondent wrote. We
speak not in the interest of any party
or any phase of politics, but in the
name of our religion and of human
brotherhood when we say that this is
a sad and shameful chapter in the his
tory of great Christian people.-Uni-

the enormous destructiveness of mod
