JADE threw his musket on the ground
rested himself by the roadside and ex-
claimed, with much vehemence:
'1ll be dashed if I'll walk another
step! I'm broke down. cant do If {"
and Jabe was the picture of
despair.
"Get up, mani" exclaimed his can.
tain. Don't you see the enemy are
i"lIowingus' They'll get you, sure.
Cant helpit, said Jabe. I'm done
for. I'll not walk another STEP"
The Confederates passed along over
the crest OF the hill and lost sight off
poor, detected JADE.
In a moment there was fresh rattle
II musketry and a renewed crash oil

ne top OF the hill, moving like hsrri-
'ane and folio we'd by cloud of dust
As IS ne dashed past the captain the

BEING CONSIDERED.
DIR. George &. LOrimer Possible Sue
ces.Or to President Whitman.

The name of DR.. George c. Lorimer, the
weIl-known pastor of the fremont Temple
Church IN Boston, is being considered by
committee. of the trustees of Columbian
University in connection with the selection
Of a successor to Dr. Whitman, president Of
that institution.
Several interviews have been had with
DR. Lorimer who has the matter under ad-
visement Thus far no positive action has
been taken. for the decision OF the commit
tee must be approved by the board of truS-
tees ami il is expected that body will meet
in the course of few days, when the re-
port will be made.
on the other hand, Dr. Lorimer has
reached no conclusion as TO what his course
would be in the event the position were ten
dered to him The mention of his name in
connection with this position has aroused
wide interest in church as well as In educa-
tional circles. where the gifted preacher and
teacher is widely and favorably known.
George Claude Lorimer was born in Edin-
burgh, Scotland, In 1898. He came to this
country in the year 1886, and was educated
at Georgetown College, Kentucky. Three
years later he was ordained to the Baptist
ministry and pastor. successfully. Of
churches at Harrodsburg. Paducah and
Louisville, Ky: Boston, Mass, and Chicago,
Ill
While In Chicago he was connected with
the Chicago University, and his energy
and wisdom was a controlling factor in the
work Of these years. which resulted in
making that institution what 1t Is today.
His career pastor of the fremont Tenn
pie in Boston. that great Baptist organiZa-
ton. with its varied interests and its mod
ern methods, is we'll known. The success
of that enterprise financially is perhaps one
of the notable features in it's history. and
this is attributed especially to the guiding
wisdom of the pastor.
