THE PERSONALLY OF THE
DEVIL.
Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The latest phase Of the discussion
OF the devil Is not an attack upon the
DEVILS definite existence, but a de-
fence of his comeliness. The popu.
lar idea OF the devil, with cloven feet
a forked tail and leeriDg countenance
does not seem to be borne out by a
Scriptural description. The Rev. DR..
J. B. Mack, a distinguished Presby.
tcrian clergyman, OF South Carolina
feels that the mission OF the devil Is
demeaning enough without detract.
ing from his personal attributes. The
devil was chief among the angels,
therefore must have had an angelic
.loveliness. According to Ezekial, he
was perfect In beauty" and St. Paul
refers to him as ian angel Of light
The devil, therefore, is an angel with
purposes made malignant, but with
all his original comeliness. There
have been painters who have preferred
to present him thus, and the picture
of the fallen arch.angel, driven out OF
heaven, as described by Milton recalls
a strong mind indignant. . Z

AN ESSAY ON MASONRY.

An Illinois boy was asked to write
an essay on Masonry, and here is what
he wrote:
king Soloman was man who
lived SO many years In the country
that he was the whole push. He was
an awful wise man and one day two
women came TO him, each holding the
leg of baby and nearly pulling it 10
two and each claiming it. And King
Soloman wasn't feeling right good,
and he said: why couldn't the brat
have been twins and stopped all this
bother?' And then he called for his
hatchet and was going to Weylerize
the poor, innocent little baby and
give each woman piece OF 1t. Then
the real mother of the baby said:
Stop, Solomon, stay thy hand. Let
the old hag have it. II can't have a
whole baby, l won't have any Then
Solomon told her to take the baby and
20 home and wash its face, for lie
knew it was hers. He told the other
woman to 60 chase herself. King
Solomon built SolOmon's temple and
was the father of Mas0ns. He had
seven hundred wives and three hun.
dred lady friends, and that's why
there are so many nlas0ns in the
world. My pa says King Solomon was
a warm number, and think he was
hot stuff myself. That is all l know
Of King Solomon"

TOO LATE.

What silence we keep year after year,
With those who are most near to us and
dear;
We live beside each other day by day,
And think Of myriad things, but seldom
say
The full, sweet word that lies just in our
reach,
Beneath the commonplace of common
speech.
Then out of sight and out of reach they
These close, familiar friends that loved
us so!
And sitting in the shadow they have
left,
Alone with lonliness and sore bereft,
We think with vain regret, OF some fond
word
That once we might have said and they
have heard.
For weak and poor the love that we ex-
pressed
Now seems, beside the vast sweet uncon.
fessed;
And slight the deeds we did to those un.
done,
And small the service spent to treasure
won,
And undeserved the praise for word and
deed
That should have overfowed the simple
need.
This is the cruel cross of life, to be
Full .vsioned only when the ministry
OF death has been fulfilled, and in the
place
OF some near presence is but empty
space,
What recollected services can then
Give consolation for the "might have
been?"

SAYINGS ABOUT WOMEN.

Never marry a woman richer than
you, or one taller than you, or one
older than you. Be always gently
superior to your wife in fortune, in
size and in age, so that in every pos.
sible way she may appeal to you for
help, for protection, either through
your purse, your strength or your ex.
perience Of life.
A man should marry woman half
his age plus seven.
A woman should avoid accepting a
man who has been particularly sue
cessful with women.
There are two kinds Of women
those you marry and those you don't
marry. Unfortunately for you, they
are not labeled.
Man is not hard to please. 1t Is not
the thing which he demands, but only
the semblance of it.
Friendship is the old age OF love.
Men OF old age often give young
ones good advice as a consolation for
being unable to give them bad ex-
ample.
However Ill you may speak or think
OF women, you will always find u wo.
man able to do it better than you.

PRENTISS ON ANARCHY.

Judge William Prentiss, OF Chicago,
one OF the Democrats OF Illinois, writ
ing for the Chicago American thus
discusses anarchy and its cure:
"No human intelligence can analyze
the elements that compose being
like that who slew the President, or
can trace the progress OF his forma.
tiOn. Only the infinite can do that.
1t is said that his parents came
from Russian Poland. And what OF
Poland? Patriots in every land have
wept over her sad history. Crushed
by superior force and thrice partition.
ed between trio OF despots, her peo.
for generations have been the helpless
victims of oppression.
There is no knowing what sorrow
aud hate and hopeless despair went
up aud suppressed in human hearts
long since returned to dust may have
found vent in this crime against
eighty millions Of people at Buffalo.
Sad but true in human affairs, the in
nOcent must suffer for the sins Of the
guilty. We are suffering today for the
sins and mistakes Of former ages in
other lands. The mistakes OF organ
lied society, bad government for ages
back, must bear heavy load OF blame
for the modern anarchist.
But organized society must protect
itself, even from the results OF its own
mistakes and sins. If harsh measures
be necessary, they must be applied
not in anger or in revenge, but cody
and with deliberaton. Reason must
be kept firmly in her seat. Stern JUS
tice shonld preside: the highest good
the only purpose of all we do.
Above all, we must not forget
whence anarchists first came to our
shores, and must remember that like
causes produce like effects in all ages
and in all lands.
We feel sure that there is no excuse
for anarchy in this government OF the
people now: we must see to it that
there never shall be. Unjust govern
ment has made anarchists. Just gov.
ernment alone can prevent their In.
crease and in time will surely bring
about their final determination"
