testimony of personal regard for him

incident Those whom we call dead live
We begin to die when We begin to live.
Death does not end all. or sever our re-
Iationships IL is the open door to a
larger life. Inc divine order is not brok-

The Third Handle.

The best account Of the origin Of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador at Paris.
Henry " Of France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
and, feeling thirsty, called at wayside
inn for a cup of wine. The serving
maid on handing it to him as he sat on
horseback neglected to present the ham
ole. Some wine was spilled, and his
majesty's white gauntlets were soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that two handled cup would prevent
recurrence of this so his majesty
had a two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent it to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine, when, to his establishment, the
maid, having received instructions
from her mistress to be very careful Of
the kings cup, presented it to him by
holding it herself by each of its ham
dies At once the happy idea struck
the king of cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon, as his
majesty quantity said, Surely, out Of
three handles l shall be able to get
one" Hence the loving cup.

Four Perfect Women.

The prophet Mohammed is reported
to have said that among men there
had been many perfect, but not more
than four Of the other sex have attain
ed perfection - to wit, Asiah, Mary,
Khadijah and Fatima." Asiah was the
wife Of the pharaoh Of the Exodus.
She forsook the faith of her fathers, on
account Of which her husband subject
ed her to many cruelties. The Virgin
Mary was the second perfect woman,
Mohammsd stating that "she had been
exalted above all the women of the
world" Khadijah was the first wife
Of the prophet, "a princess among wo-
men," Fatima, according to Moham-
med, was the fourth perfect woman,
she being his beloved daughter.

The Enrl,sb Are unmilitary.

Partly from historical and partly per-
haps from racial causes the English
are essentially unmilitary. They resent
the control Of soldiers. They distrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that Of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. Its unpopu-
larity left an indelible mark on English
institutions For many years 1t made
1t impossible to have a standing army.
Even when the course Of events made
1t necessary to concede that much to
the military necessities Of the time 1t
still remained a maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be granted to the SOL
dlers; that their business was to fight
our wars, and, this being done, that
there was little or no place for them In
the body polite.
We do not think 1t necessary to de-
fend this attitude of mind. Like most
popular feelings, it is largely unjust,
but also, like many popular feelings, it
Is based to some extent on true con-
ception. Politically, using the word in
Its largest sense, the domination of the
military idea in a state Is calamitous.
1t tends, we believe, to destroy individ-
uality and is a serious menace to indi-
vidual liberty. - English Monthly Re-
view.

Spirits Above and Below.

"Many years ago." writes a New
Hampshire clergyman in the Boston
Journal, lit was the custom to store
liquors in church cellars in Boston;
not all Of them, but many of them.
AS late as 1850, and probably later, the
cellar Of the stone church on Bowdoin
square was used by the Trull distillery
near by pitts street, If am right for
the ripening in hogsheads of New Eng
land rum. Some one found a hymn
book in pew and copied in there the
following verse:
"There are spirits above and spirits below,
The spirits of love and the spirits Of woe.
The spirits above are the spirits Of love;
The spirits below are the spirits of woe.
The spirit above is the spirit divine;
The spirits below are the spirits Of wine.
II have myself frequently watched
the men putting hogsheads Of rum into
the cellars or taking them out"

Dear Sir: A bankers business is to
know pretty much everything. Here's
part of it, well worth anyone's knowing.
Devoe lead and zinc is the paint that
lasts twice as long as lead and oil. Our
agent sells it under this guarantee:
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it on, or
hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer
about it.
We authorize him to do what is right
at any expense"
II you get your house painted with it,
and it wears no better than most lead
and oil, you will have good cause of COM
plant; and we must pay damages.
This is the paint that looks as good,
and wears twice as long, as lead and oil.
Yours truly,
80 F. W. DEvoE & Co.
P. S. Flint Bros. sell our paint in

A Fine Time Anticipated.

The announcement that the big Ocean
Park Assembly at Ocean Park, Maine,
on July 25th, begins its season and will
continue to September 2nd, means a
great deal to thousands who have
anxiously awaited the time for this great
midsummer festival. Few places on the
Atlantic Coast offer greater induce
ments for the camp-meeting attendant.
There is everything there, fine beach, a
delightful climate, a camp meeting
ground without equal, and patronage
of exceptional proportions. Old Orch
ard, of which Ocean Park is a part, is a
beach semi.circular in shape and some
eight miles long. The crowds at Old
Orchard are orderly and visit Old Orch
ard for the good quiet outing affords.
The diversions are several and include
ocean bathing, fishing, boating, sailing
and numerous other harmless amuse-
ments found at the high class resorts.
Old Orchards big ocean pier is one of the
chief attractions OF the place and from
one end of the pier which is more than a
thousand feet from land, there is always
a cool breeze. The Orchard Beach Rail-
road is means of reaching the Saco
River at Camp Ellis, where boat connect
ion is made for Biddeford Pool. The
Ocean Park grounds are delightfully."- ar
ranged and the meetings there are al
ways largely attended. There is plenty
of good music, many interesting speak
ers, and all in all, few summer camp
meetings can compare with it. During
the meetings which continue from July
25th to September 2nd the Boston &
Maine r. X. will sell tickets to Ocear
Park at reduced rates and if you want
a delightful and profitable outing go tc
Ocean Park.

Many of the Stolen stones. FOun
Under n Bridge.

CINCINNATI. Nov. 5.-Thieves broke
show window in the Duhne Company's
jewelry store, on Fourth Street, early this
morning and made away with tray con-
tanning seventy-seven loose diamonds
valued at $4,000 The store and street are
brilliantly lighted all night The thieves
carried away their booty from a house
that is watched on the inside by watch
man and on the outside by two pri-
vate watcbmen and the regular police.
Their departure from the scene of the
robbery was hasty, as Is evidenced by
the fact that in their flight from the store
they dropped ten diamonds. These were
recovered.
\ man took to police headquarters at
noon nineteen diamonds ard three pearls,
evidently 2lunder from the Duhme jew
elry store H. said he took them from
two holes dug under the Cincinnati and
Newport bridge at the foot of Warren
Street by two negroes. He saw the ne
groes lift two neaVy stones over the holes
and disa pnear down the river fro Mt. In
yestigatlng, he found the diamonds and
pearls.
The diamonds are valued at $500 and the
pearls at $3.50. The men. evidently the
Duhme thieves. had hidden. this part of
their plunder intending &c return for it.
About 80 o'clocR Detective Jackson went
to the place and eight more diamonds
were found in another hole. They were

TO AID THE JUNIOR REPUBLIC.
Local Residents Organize National
Auxiliary No. z.

A score or more OF philanthropic Gov
ernment officials and prominent citizens
of this city have banded together during
the past two weeks 10 organize what is
known as National Auxiliary No Of
the Junior Republic Home, of Annapolis
Junction, Md, in order to assist the cause
of that institution. This step was taken
by those inteI sted in the Republic after
innumerable ui1s to the fiourishing little
nation at Annapolis Junction, thoroughly
acquainting themselves with its work
ings
y meeting was held last Thursday night
at the home of Miss Marie Barnes, 2I0i
Wyoming Avenue northwest and large
number of those interested in the work
assembled. Before the meeting had ad-
journed the organization was formed, and
Miss Mary Desha, who since its founding
has always been stanch supporter Of
the Junior Republic, was elected presl-
dent of the organization John T. Doyle,
chief clerk of the Civil Service Commits
sion. was selected to fill the offices of sec
rotary and treasurer. The auxiliary will
hold another meeting Thursday evening
at $50 o'clock at Miss Barnes residence
on Wyoming Avenue. when the bylaws
of the organization will be prepared and
adopted.
This move on the part Of citizens in
this city has been contemplated for some
ume. from the DAY OF the rounding of
the institution, a large number Of Wash
ingtonians have been actively engaged in
lending their individual assistance to the
institution by contributing clothes, food
and rendering financial aid. The propo-
sition 10 form an organization was fire.
quently advanced, but 1t was not until
last Thursday night-thst concerted action
upon the subject was taken.
Miss Desha has been frequent visitor
to the Republic. She made a trip there
last Sunday to assist In a religious meet
ing. When seen by a Times reporter she
was eager to discuss the needs Of the in
She states that citizens having
any old boys clothing might render an
exceedingly charitable act by sending
them to the young folks at the home She
also suggests that those citizens who can
afford to might send food, books and
games to help the members Of the little
Republic while away the dismal hours.
The Washington Auxiliary has been
modelled after one now operating in New
York City in conjunction with the George
Junior Republic. The local organization
has decided to prepare an unusually large
and wholesome Thanksgiving dinner for
the boys this month, and will ask the va
rious merchants in the city to contribute
TO the cause.
