Answer to Martin V Stump.

Mr.. Stump has written to the
OHIO DEMOCRAT short and very
sensible discourse about the 10th
and Goth centuries, aud has taken
the Negative side: he is not alone
in his views; others are also mis-
taken. In the first place, l will give
Mr.. Stump, few facts TO consider,
and
1st.-We never number years,
nor centuries, at their commence
ment, but Arrays at their end; and
never place them in the table of
time till they are full and COM
plete.
2nd.-Days and months, we al
ways number at the present time
no matter whether they are full
and complete or not.
3rd.-"The year of our Lord"
means all ;he time that has passed
from the commencement of the
Christian Era to the present time,
to distinguish it from "the year OF
the World" In both -"year,"
is used in the singular number.
4.-The year of the World, is all
the time that has passed from the
first of the world, to the first day
of the Christian Eca.

Opening Musical.

The Grand Concert at the New
Presbyterian Church on Tuesday
night promises to be great attract
ion and the admission of % cents
ought to fill the church. In addition
to the talent of the Presbyterian
church, the following excellent tai
ent will take part: Rev. Harry B.
Vail, of Belphre, Miss Mabel Hoyt,
Mrs. Homer Wright, Miss Minnie
Deissle, Messrs Dollison, Sanderson,
Woodworth and Bright and Mrs.
@. d. Norris of Athens, Mrs.
G. B. Ballard, Of Marietta Mrs.
James Shepherd of Jacksonville, and
Prof. Maude, M. Cockings the dis
tinguished violinist of Columbus.
This is all array of talent seldom
seen outside of our large cities and
the "musical opening" ought to be q
grand success. In view OF the fact
that the program is sufficiently long,
and number wish to depart on the
train, no encore will be recognized.

The Lord is Coming.

"Now learn a parable Of the fig
tree; When his branch Is yet tend
er. and putteth forth leaves, ye
know that summer is nigh. So
likewise ye, when ye shall see all
these things, know that it is near,
even at the doors. Verify l say
unto you, This generation shall not
pass, till all these things be fulfill
ed" Matt. "a: 1924.
The people who learn this par
able, from seeing "all these things"
must be living on this earth when
those "things" or signs of his COM
ing appear; and form a part of that
generation which Jesus addresses
and declares: "Shall not pass, till
all these things be fulfilled"
The fulfilling of "all these things"
must include the personal coming
of the Lord in the clouds of heav-
en-, for it is written: "Ye men of
Galilee, why stand ye gazing up
into heaven? this same Jesus,
which is taken up from you into
heaven, shall SO come in like man
ner AS ye have seen him go into
heaven" Acts /: IL.
"BeEold, he cometh with clouds !;
and every eye shall see him." Rev.
l:7.
l understand from the Savior's
language quoted at the beginning
of this article, that some of that
same generation who saw the
fultillment of the last sign CIV
en- in Matt. "a. (The falling of the
stars in 1889 will be living and
see the Lord coming in power and
great glory and the end of this
world or age.
Neither the day nor the hour nor
even the year has been revealed to
man; but we must not therefore
conclude that we can know moth
ing about ii and thereby ignore the
Savior's imperative command:
"Know that it is near, even at the
doors"
The disciples Qearners) of Jesus
will know when his coming is near,
not from any new prophecy or
revelation, but from the fulfllment
of the prophecies of the old and
new testaments, copy of which is
to be found in the home of nearly
every family in the land,
The language of the Prophet
Isaiah will be the language of all
those who are ready to meet the
Lord when he comes. "I.o, this is
our God; we have waited for him,
and he will save us: this is the
Lord; we have waited for him, we
will be glad and rejoice in his sal
vatiOn." Isa. 25: 8.

February and March, that he men.
tions. 1 am certainly very plain
and practical in the matter, to give
every month its exact number OF
days in its self. l give February
its 2S or 20 days, March its 81 days,
April its 80 days, etc, every year,
all the time. Now look that up
again. But the question is are We
in the 10Th century,or Goth. Which?
Now 1 know which century we
ale in, and just where the Earth is
found in its orbit at this time, In its
1901st trip around the sun.
The earth has made little over
1900 trips around the sun in the
year of Our Lord, and aoout 1000
trips around the sun in the year OF
the World. Nearly 5000 In all.
Now let me give you rule to find
how old you are:
Subtract the date of your birth.
from the time you wish to count to.
This will give yoW exact age, or
the age of any other person or
thing, that you can find a first day
for.
Let us now find the age of the
Christian Era. Just take one day
from 1900 years, and you will have
the age of the Era up to Dec. 3lst
1899, at midnight.
The zone day" I mention
above, is the first day of the Chris
tian Era.

watch Found That Is Thought TO
Have Belonged to First Gov
ernOr OF the State

jonathan Jennings, the first gov
ernor Of the state Of Indiana, came
west soon after Indiana territory was
organized, and settled in Clark cOun-
". he brought with him from Penn
sylvania one law book and a buIl's-eye
silver watch. In course Of his canvass
for delegate to congress IN 1909, his
house was entered, and among other
things his silver watch was stolen He
always believed that the watch was
stolen BY q man who kept a drinking
house IN CharlestoTn, but he had no
proof, and the liquor vendor was not
prosecuted, says an Indianapolis eX-
change
The house passed to other owners,
and one day lately the owner began
the work Of tearing it away to make
room for another. Between the first
log and the stone foundation Hof-
man found an old bulls-eye silver
watch, which Is believed to be the
one Gov. Jennings lost in 1909. The

IDLE SOLDIERS.
only a Small Portion OF an Army Ever
Comes Into Action in
Battle.

Modern war is such a complex bust
ness, and so many things besides fight
ing have to be done, that a very large
part Of an army never fires a shot
Even Of the soldiers actually opposed
70 the enemy, only portion come
into conflict in any battle.
For instance, Gen. Butler must have
had some $4,000 men at the battle Of
the Tugela river, yet we are told that
only 10000 troops went into action.
The explanation Of this apparently
curious fact is that armies don't fight
now in dense masses like long ago.
The terrible hail Of bullets from mag
azine rifles and maxims, as well as
the destructive power Of shells
charged with high explosives" would
annihilate an army in dense fOrma-
ton. Hence the fighting troops have
TO scatter themselves over a line IS,
20 and even 30 miles long.
Of course, the chances OF battle
bring It about that, while the fight
ing becomes very hot and fierce in
certain spots, the troops in other
parts Of the line don't come into con-
tact with the enemy at all. This is
why certain battalions lose an appall-
ing number Of men, while others come
OF with few casualties. In the great
battle Of KOeniggratz - the biggest
battle Of this century-it is said that
$4,000 Prussians and $4,000 Austrians
did not fire a single shot.

Facts, which can neither be explain

to the conclusion that this govern

Under the influence Of the crafty

the country to q policy of colonial i'm

traditions, our principles and our or

FACTS ABOUT CAPE NOME.
Sea Sands, Nome CITY By June VIII
Have 10000 People.

As q good deal is being said about
Cape Nome, Alaska, and sthe ordinary
maps do not show its location, the fol-
lowing extract from the New York
World is given for the benefit Of those
interested in the subject
Cape Nome juts into Behring Sea
about 100 miles northeast of st. Mich
sels, which is on Norton sound some
distance north Of the mouth Of the
Yukon.
It is the only place in the world
where gold in abundance mingles with
the sand Of the sea. This golden beach
is 100 miles long. More than $1,000
600 was washed out there last summer.
About 1900 miners have spent the
winter in that region. 1t is expected
that 10000 will be there next summer.
Two years ago that coast was an
arctic wilderness. The seashore gold
was discovered last June. In July
Nome City was founded with a pop
ulation of 100. At the end of Au-
gust its population was 5000, and next
June it is expected that it will hsrbor
10000 souls. a $4,000 hotel will be
opened early this spring.
The gold fields are the largest and
richest yet discovered on the northern
Pacific coast. Some biologists expect
them to prove the richest ever known.
Shovel, pan and rocker we're the only
implements used by last seasons lucky
miners, who doubtless wasted as much
gold as they saved.
The gold ranged from nuggets as
large as a clam to particles as fine as
birdshot. The gray sand yielded $50,
the ruby sand s. to the pan. The
! beach is separated from the mountains
by fat land, called the tundra, also
gold bearing. The mountains them
selves, and the creeks, are richly au-
riferOus.
Three Of the discoveries of the re-
gion-Lindeberg LindblOm and Bryn-
ItesOn-have cleaned up $4,000 and
their claims are worth 100000. An
other, DR.. KittlesOD, has taken out So
OOO Tornensis, a Lapland reindeer
herder, washed out $4,000 and then
sold his claim for $4,000. Price, a Cal
ifOrnian, has made 100000 for the man
who grub staked him and like fortune
for himself. In seven hours alone be
washed ont 5000. There will be an
unprecedented rush to these gOldfelds
in the spring, and twenty ships are
scheduled to carry passengers.

teen And yet, why should they be?
The original states Of the Union were

one would be considered unIucky be-
cause he has a quarter Of a dollar in
his pocket, and yet the coin is impress

sides. Count the letters in quarter
dollar" and you have thirteen. Count
the stars over the eagles head-thir-
teen; the eagle holds in his beak a
scroll Count the letters in "E Plu-
ribus Unum" impressed thereOn-thir-
teen; in one talon the eagle Rrasps a
culver full Of darts-thirteen; in the
other a branch which has thirteen
leaves. In each Of the eagles wings
there are thirteen feathers, and the tail
feathers number the same. Count the
crossbars in the shield on the eagles
