Explaining Her Choice.

This story Congressman NJ. E. Ben
ton of NeOshO, Mo-, tells on himself
with becoming modesty and a great
deal of relish: Back in Washington,
Benton had the reputation of being not
only one of the shrewdest, but one of
the six homeliest men that ever graced
a seat in the house of representatives.
While yet q struggling young lawyer,
he went from Newton county down into
Texas to prosecute a land claim. AL
though he did not win that suit, he
won a much more momentous one with
a pretty Lone Star lass, who consented,
Notwithstanding his pugnacious home
illness, to trek back to Missouri and
help him rise to fame amid the mineral
Astounding region of the Ozarks.
While in the old Union depot at st.
Louis on his way home, Benton and his
fair bride ran across General E. Y.
Mitchell, an old pioneer of Rolla, Mo-,
General Mitchell is a plain spoken old
veteran, who says just what he thinks.
Benton greeted him and introduced his
wife. The old man looked surprised.
He stared at Benton and beamed on
the pretty bride. Then he said sadly:

Further, my text tells us that God
sometimes shaves nations: 'In the
same day shall the Lord shave with a
razor that is hired.'' With one sharp
sweep he went across Judpa, and down
went its pride and it's power. In 1861
God shaved the American nation. We
had allowed to grow Sabbath desecra-
ton and oppression and blasphemy and
fraud and impurity and all sorts of tur-
pitude. The south had its sins and the
north it's sins and the east it's sins and
the west it's sins. We had been warned
again and again. and we did not heed.
AT length the sword of war cut from
the st. Lawrence to the gulf and from
Atlantic seaboard to Pacific seaboard.
The pride of the land, not the cow
ards, but the heroes, on both sides
went down. And that which we took
for the sword of war was the Lords
razor. In 1862 again it went across
the land; in 1868 again; in 1864 again.
Then the sharp instrument was incased
and put away.
Never in the history of the ages was
any land more thoroughly shaved than
during those four years of civil combat,
and. my brethren, if we d. not quit
some of our individual and national
sins the Lord will again take us in
band He has other razors within

Lasker, the Chess Master.

DR.. Emanuel Lasker, who has stead
lily fought his way to the position Of
champion chess player Of the world,
shows a certain amount of dash in his
play, but hiE strong point is mathe-
NAUTICAL precision. He would appear to
be able to work his adversary into a
kind Of resigned stupor, and they gen.
orally succumb as rabbit does to a
snake; not that the doctor is anything
but the most amiable and unassuming
of men, but he certainly seems to exer-
else an influence over his chess oppo-
nent which the said opponent would
fain be proof against. DR.. Lasker is a
Prussian, but has lived in England for
several years. In 1889 he came out as
a first class player, and all lovers Of
the board will recall how he wrested
from Steinitz the so long held title Of
champion.

President Stfckney Says Country
Opportunities Are Large.
'It has long been the belief of Mr..
Stickney, the president of the Chicago
Great Western railroad, that the farm
life Of America has been needlessly
somber," says W. S. HARDWOOD in Aims
lees. HE is a very earnest advocate
of a complete change in the methods
Of far%n life. He is in favor Of Great
ing a little community wherever there
are even half dozen farmers scatter
ed on the wide western prairies. He
would have these farmers come into
common community, not in any sense
theoretically communal, but a COM
munity for cultivation, for mental ad-
vancement, for social progress, for the
fostering Of the finer and the jollier
features of life. He advocates the
union of these farmers into such a
town or community, each one going
out from his home in the morning to
his field as a city laborer goes out to
his work. The houses he would have
built at some intersecting point which
would at all times leave the families of
the farmers in immediate contact. Not

the satisfaction of living, but protec-
ton would be insured in the emergen-
cies of sickness, fire and tramps. He
would obliterate the isolation which
separates the farmer from the world
and which, if we are to believe those
who have made a study Of the sub
ject, does much to increase insanity in
rural regions.
''Yet on no point is he more strenu-
GUS in his writings than on the foolish
ness shown by intelligent men in flock
ing to the cities for employment in al
ready overcrowded quarters when the
opportunities in the country are so
large and tempting to the man of clear
vision. Here is quotation from an
address which Mr.. Stickney gave some
time ago:
"To the dogs with the sentimental
nonsense that the examining process of
the city schools and the advantages of
city churches, which you seldom enter,
"are all that makes life worth living"
and that to remove to the country is to
rob your children of these advantages.
Let laboring men examine the pedigree
of the successful business men, the dis
tinguished lawyers, the leading physi-
clans, the most eloquent clergymen,
and almost without exception they are
country born, reared and educated"

At our national capital a monument
