ANECDOTES OF FORREST.
Why the Confederate Leader Declin-
ed to Correct His Spelling.


General Forrest Of the Confederate
army" said an ex-Confederate officer,
"was a military genius Of the first
rank. Without previous training or any
developed taste in that direction he
went into the army from a place as
overseer and attained commanding
rank absolutely by merit. Rough and
uncouth at first, he became In later life
a courtly gentleman whom 1t was q
pleasure to meet and to know. re-
member on one occasion some time aft
er the war coming up the Potomac
with him / wanted to introduce q
young woman who was under my es-
request, but that he could not meet
her unless she knew perfectly well who
he was and that he was not held In
high esteem by the northern people
chiefly on account of the Fort Pillow
affair. / assured him that she was full
ly apprised of his record, and then he
went with me to meet her, and she told
me later she had never met more at
tractive man.
Earlier in his career -- that Is, be-
fore he had learned to spell--he was
asked by young lady to put his auto
graph in her album. He wrote his namS
as requested and under 1t his title, ma
jor general of calvary as he spelled 1t.
The lady called his attention to 1t in .
very delicate way, and he looked at II
a moment, and with a full conscious
ness that he was lacking I'm that regard
and with beautiful and scarcely to be
expected humility he said, Let 1t stand
to show how ignorant General Forrest
is.' There are not many men who
would have done that, I imagine, and
1t was the little things that showed
the mans true greatness."-New York

Some Indians from Buffalo Bilrs

blankets and an exceptional amount

Of the city one afternoon. They stroll

headed by a buck who now and then
gave grunt of satisfaction when some
thing that pleased him caught his eye,
they halted In front Of drug store and
gazed at the window display for
moment. Then the band filed into the
establishment and began to look

Lines melted by the removal Of tn. old Presbyterian Church
BY MRS. ANNA LAwsHE.

OF its dedication i, is now on our minds so i'm
pressed
That details of it here need not be given.
Only mention of a thought or two there ex
pressed,
One: 81 wonder il this is not similar to heaven?'
Another by an oldtime pastor was stated
With pleasure, reverence and pride:
The spirit to do and the work now dedicated
Had its origin in the old church by our side.
All this time the old church stood like a ssnti
mel
Doing its duty faithful and alone
The last audience within it, walls to assemble
Was Sabbath eve, February third, nineteen
hundred one.
Yet after as before it remained steadfast
And murmured not a word,
Though well it knew its days were past
In the service of the Lord.
They took from it all with which it was furn
ished
Things useful, ornamental and all,
And rendered it to whom il had been purchased
Who soon accomplished its fall.
Now it is gone; soon not a vestage will be left
OF its material form or place.
Only in memory will we see it as it dwelt
And look upon its old familiar face.
In whatever part of the city,
Like a Chrysals transformed,
Will it invoke our love or pity?
Or will either from US be scorned7
Will it have a yeaning for the old manse
That so many years stood by its side
And wish it might have il in view perchauce,
Or will it be satisfied
We trust that after it.. transition
Could it have the power to tell,
1t will say 81 am happy in my new condition.
Aud devoutly add lit is we'll"
Myriads of voices would the echo prolong
Far up in the depths of the sky,
II all that have been thy people, old and young
Could join in the sad refrain goodbye, old
church, goodbye.

Out in the middle of the street it stood,
So lonely, desolate and dreaT
Like an object branded mo longer good"
For the greater part of year.
1t was a modest and comely structure,
Dear to the hearts OF its people
Sacred from the altar where was rendered the
scriptures
To the bell that tolled the bours from the
steeple.
1t was built nearly a score of years now flown.
Within the fold its people seemed to thrive
Since the first sermon preached therefrom
Which was January eleventh, 'eghty.five.
But time lessened its beauty and capacity.
Its worshipers in numbers grew
Until il was deemed dire necessity
To put on its site one larger and new.
So they took it from It's long accustomed place
Out in the highway to wait
While they put in its stead 'fairer face"
With adornments of modern date.
After it was placed in waiting
And they had taken proper measure;
Workmen commenced by excavating
For the building Of its successor.
The process was laborious, but steady
And for such labor results will atone.
Therefore, in due time all was made ready
For the laying of the corner stone.
The day proclaimed for this great event
Was August frst-ninetcen hundred the year
The services were imposing and reverent,
Speeding the work with good cheer
OF the things that were therein sealed
Who shall venture tn say
When they will ever again be revealed;
Whether by accident, or by decay.
We hope by the latter and if so,
Many ages will pass in succession
Before anyone ever again will know
What the corner stone has in possession.
The workmen toiled on day by day;
Each in his own vocation,
Until they were able and gratifed to say
Behold the work Of our creation"

The Money in Christian Science,


Mr.. William G. Nixon of Boston, back
slider from Mother Eddy's fold, gives some
, interesting estimates Of the profits of the
| Christian Science business. Mr.. Nixon used
| to be bank cashier in South Dakota. lie
went to Boston and paid Mrs. Eddy $500 for
a course Of lessons in Christian Science.
| Subsequently he settled in Boston. and, at
Mrs. Eddy's request became her publisher.
| He asserts that her Science and Health,
| With Key to the Scriptures" costs Al cents
| a copy to produce, and was sold for from
So to 81. She says that she has sold more
| than 200,0 900 copies. Mr.. Nixon estima les
that she must have cleared from $500, O,OOO
to 100000 net on the sale Of Science and
Health alone; and still the sales go
braveiy on. Not merely the faithful. but
| the unbelievers buy the book. 1t owes its
| success to curiosity, as we'll as credulity
and 1t is tremendously advertised Every
| death due to the rejection of medical or
| surgical care and to blind belief in the Ed
| dyite hocus-pocus helps the book in which
| the Eddyite creed is set down. 1t is pos
| sble that Mrs. Eddy is the best-paid author
in America, the drawer Of the largest roy
| alties.
| She has other means of income. She
charges $500 for initiating novices into the
mysteries of her science" Doubtless many
| well-to-do or rich persons have paid her
much more in the transports Of their abso-
lutte faith. She says that she has taught
personally more than 1900 persons. Four
thousand pupils at $500 head. There Is a
snug little fund of 81, 200, 900. If her figures
and Mr.. Nixon's figures are correct she
| must have made at the smallest calculation
| at least from 81 100000 to 100000, and
probably much more, out Of her books and
| her lessons. According to Mr.. Nixon, she
| is "a very matter-of-fact woman in ali ma
terial matters except her theory that there
| is no matter, and has invested in land ex-
tensively; she can easily be rated now as a
| very substantial millionaire" Mr.. Nixon's
| knowledge of Mrs Eddy's publishing busi-
| ness brought him to the conviction that
''the whole thing was but one gigantic
money-making scheme"
| There is no doubt that teaching Christian
| Science is profitable to the teacher; but
| certain persons and their money are soon
| parted and the learners don't complain.
| Mrs. Eddy doesn't wish to ''pauperize" her
devotees by giving them Christian Science
! free of charge.

LETTER FROM MISS STONE.
SHE WAS WELL IN SPITE OF HARDSHIPS
SUFFERED

Washington. Nov. 9.-Consul General Dickn-
son reports to the State Department from Sofia
by cable the receipt by him OF another letter
from Miss Stone already noted In the press
dispatches of last night. He quotes Miss Stone
saying:
I'VE are still we'll in spite Of all our hard
ships
There other matters treated in the let
ter which 1t is not deemed wise to publish. Mr.
Dickinson complains constantly OF attempts to
interfere with the line of communica ton he is
seeking TO establish with the brigands Although
no explanation is afforded by him to the
reasons for this interference 1t is believed here
that the Bulgarian authorities are seeking TO
pave the way for denial of responsibility for
an indemnity by exhibiting unnecessary activity
In the pursuit of any persons who might be sup
posed to be able to inform them of the where
abouts of Miss Stone.
Notwithstanding the difficulties which are
daily encountered by the State Department in
its efforts to reach Miss Stone, the belief is
strong among the officials that in the near
future they will succeed in securing her
lease 1t is true, reported from Constanti-
NOBLE, that the principal issue is the amount OF
ransom to be paid. and this delays the negotia-
tions for the brigands fully aware of the exact
amount of money at the disposal of the United
States agents in Turkey holding back evil

creased by further subscriptions.
