ton Porter, Jr., the negro ray.
Usher and murderer of Lou,sa
Frost, was tonight burned "a
death at the place where ths
crime was committed. Porter
died a terrible death in aamipo
pile of boards. The father of
the murdered girl applied the
torch at 6:23 O'Clock. Seven
minutes later Porter was uncou.
scious. In twenty minutes oulv
| a charred mass of flesh remained
of the negro. Then the boards
were stirred and the flames Shot
up, the fire burned fercer, until
only a small pile of ashes re-.
mained.
The place selected for the
burning was on an open prairie
About 400 men stood around
with grim visages and watching
the negro burn. A few hurled
limprecations at the wretch and
q few mocked his agonizing cries.
NOh, God, have mercy on these
men, on the little girl and her
father" were the last words of
the negro. They were uttered
after a series of groans that
were terrible to- hear. These
last words were uttered in
almost a whisper. A moment
after their utterance the negro
lost consciousness. After the
incineration of the negro the
crowd quietly dispersed.
The negro, previous to placing
him on the woodpile, looked
about at the faces of those con.
fronting him while his fate was (.
being discussed. Once he rails
his hand in silent supplication
for mcrcy. Mutilation was con
templated, but the father of the
dead girl decided on burning
While wagons went for fuel one
man stood by the negro, holding
fast to the end of the rope which
was tied about his neck. When
all was ready the man holding
the rope led the negro to the
tpile. For an instant Porter
knelt on the edge of the boards
with his eyes raised in prayer.

stepped upon the boards, placed
his back to an upright iron which
had been placed in the center Of
the pile. Then a dozen men
bound him with chains to The

on the boards, which were piled
about the culprit knee high
The crowd then fell back and
formed a circle and from there
applied the match. As the
flames caught the negro's clothes
and climbed about his body, he
stretched his head as far froz

favorite of the soldiers during the civil
war and is now sung in churches and
Sunday schools all over the land and
in many foreign countries.

The hymn itself seems to echo his

In the ministry of the American
Presbyterian church there have been
three distinguished men named George
Duffield (1796-1S6S). One was asuccess-
full pastoral Carlisle, Philadelphia, New
York and other places, and an able
theologian. His son, the third George
Duffield, was the author of this ny .ln.
He was born at Carlisle in 1918, grad
uated from Yale college in 1887, and
from Union Theological seminary in
1S40 In the same year he was mar
ried, ordained and installed pastor Of
the Fifth Presbyterian church in
Brooklyn. 1t was as pastor and preach
er, rather than as scholar or man of
letters, that DR.. Duffield spent his life.
After leaving Brooklyn he was pas
tor of the First church of Bloomfield,
N. j.. and then of the Central church
of the North Liberties, Philadelphia.
Atterward he was pastor at Adrian and
Saginaw City, Mich, and at Galesburg,
Ill. His active service covered more
than 40 years. DR.. Duffield's last years
were lived in Bloomfield with his son,
Rev. Samuel w. Duffield, then a pastor
there. The son, himself poet, always
recalled with pride that his hand had
made the first fair copy" of his faith
ers hymn for the press, and those who
saw father and son together at Bloom
field still speak of the reverence and
love with which that same hand sup
ported the fathers failing steps. But
the son was first called, and the father
followed on July 6, 1888.
DR.. Dufield himself was a good SOL
der of Jesus Christ. He served so we'll
and so long that at first thought it
seems strange, even unjust, that he
should now be remembered principally
as the author of hymn. But, after all,
such a hymn is the flower of mans
life, and holds the best he was and
had. 1t is quite possible, too, that DR..
Duffield's hymn is the crown of his
labors for Christ. He helped hundreds
while he lived. but how many thous-
ands have been encouraged and in
spired by his brave songi--Louis f.

THE CUCKOO AND HER EGGS.

In the Zoologist A. H. Meiklejohn
raises the question as to the manner
in which the cuckoo carries her egg
when about to deposit it in the nest Of
the bird selected to actas foster mother.
1t is commonly supposed that the egg
is carried in the beak and in Professor
Newton's edition of Yarren several in
stances are quoted where observers
state they have actually seen the modus
operandi. Mr.. Melkeljohn, who waS
fortunate enough to observe a cuckoo
in the act of depositing it's egg in 4
robins nest, is, however, of the opin-'
ion that the throat of the bird serves
as the receptacle for the egg. He.
states that % the cuckoo was con-
stantly opening her mouth during =
preliminary encounter with the robins;v
% that the egg was certainly not laid
in the ordinary way in the nest; 90
that the egg itself was slightly moist
and sticky; (4 that the throat of the,
bird presented a slightly distended ap-|
pearance, which might well have been}
due to the presence of the egg. II win

ornithologists think of the authors

A CAT KILLS SNAKES.

Miss Ruby Flemming, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. George NJ. Fleming, Of
this place, has cat that is not only a
fine mouser, but has developed a PEN
chant to kill snakes. This cat is a very
fine one and wears ribbons and bells, 4
through the pettish scheme of Miss
Ruby. One day last week she heards
the bells ringing vigorously. She went
to the door and saw fight in the yard
shrubbery going On between the cat
and very large moccasin snake. The
snake would Dart its head at the cat
and she would knock the head of the
snake to one side with her foot every
time. Finally the cat grabbed the
snake by the back of the neck and
shook it considerably. Mr.. Fleming
then came to the rescue and killed the
snake with stick. A few DAYS after
the bells on the cat began to ring
again in the front yard. Miss Elem-
ing went out and found that the cat
was in another combat with a huge
snake. The cat put the snake to rout.
and as the snake attempted TO run in
at the door Mr.. Fleming killed it also
with a stick. This is a remarkable CT.

STAND UP, STAND UP FOR JESUS

Very few hymns have had so strik-
ing an origin as this. It's author, Rev.
George Dufield, d. D., was pastor in
Philadelphia during the great revival
of 1858, which conferred about the
MONDAY prayer meetings in Jayne's
hall. The meetings were under the
charge of the Young Mems Christian
Association and some clergymen who
had Joined with them. Among these
were Dudley A. Tying, rector of the
Church of the Epiphany, who was real
iy the leader, and DIR. Dufield.
The two elergymen were warm
friends, and DR.. Dufield thought Mr..
Tying the manifest, bravest man" he
knew. One Sunday Mr.. Tying preached
to great throng in Jayne's hall, and

were then and there converted 10

Mr.. Tying, leaving his study for a mo-

a mule was at work on a horsepower
machine shelling corn. As he patted
the animal on the neck the sleeve of
his silk study-gown caught in the eogs
