Ex-senator Edward o. Wolcott OF
Colorado once was sent to a southern
state to advocate Republlcanism. At a
certain place he was politely Informed
that the rally" would begin and end
at about the same time and that not since
1888 had any Republican been permitted
to finish a speech there.
WolcOtt was determined to make his
speech as billed and began at once with
one Of his best stories. In about i've min

by his intense RepubliCanism. and be

HISTORIC PLATE WORN OUT
IL Printed Naval Omcers' Commits
sions For Sixty Years.

~ EElmEeu- NNNul UAuGGFb OObllulA-
sionA For sixty Years.
The steel engraved plate from which
has been printed every commission to ma
val officers for the last so or 60 years
has seen its last service, having become
too much worn for further Use, and will
now be laid away with the sacred relics
o. the navy department. 1t has been no
ticed for soIne time that the commissions
printed from this plate were becoming
less clear cut, and when Captain Sigsbee
received his last commission his comment
OH the subject to Secretary Long induced
that official to take up again the matter
fer consideration.
After lengthy discussion Secretary
Long sent for the officials OF the bureau
OF engraving and instructed them to take
a copy Of the old plate as nearly as the
rules of that bureau in reference to coun-
terfeiting would permit. The engravers
wished to change the plate by putting
new and improved guns in place of the
old "Long Tom" in vogue in 1S30-40, and
the new warships for the old sailing yes
sells, but to this neither Secretary Long
nor his assistants would Ggree. They
wished to preserve the style Of engraving
of the period in which it was made and
retain all the old earmarks of that date.
AS the matter now stands the new plate
will be an exact reproduction save for
some slight changes of shadirg and so on
The old plate was made by the Ameri
can Bank Note company in New York il
1880 or 1910 and is considered one Of the
finest and most artistic pieces Of engrav
ing ioilsgsi!,ag to the g5gemment. Hay
ing seen service for the heroes of.hoth tho
e Gill and Spanish-American wars, as wei
as other men of long and faithful service
it is regarded with reverence by the navy
department.
The eagle at the top of the commission
has lean and hungry look and not thu
appearance of being a near relative ever
Of the well fed, pompous looking bird tina
adorns the bank notes and government
documents of today. The flags. guns
boats and other naval equipments are al
typical of the peBiod of the navy go year
ago, while the figures of Neptune an
Nereid blowing the waves with their sta
horses, beautifully conceived and eXecut
ed, make it one of the most elaborate an

Have lightning in your eye and a
flush in your check and frown on your
brow for a dastardy that would blot out
the sun and moon and stars of Chris

You do well to be angry, but how about
those who have been flung of scepticism,
and that is more millions than you will
ever know of until the judgment day re-
veals everything. All, here comes your
opportunity for gentlenesS, kindness and
sympathy. The probability is that if you
had been piled with the same influences

church whose taking of the sacrament
was a sacrilege. Perhaps he read agnos-

and mingled in agnostic circles until he
has been befOgged and needs your Chris
tian help more than any one that you
know of. Do not get into any labored
argument about the truth of Christianity
He may beat you at that. He has q
whole artillery Of weapons ready to opeI
fire.
Remember that no one was ever re
formed for this life or saved for the lif,
to come by an argument, but in humbles
and gentlest way, your voice subdued, asl
him few questions. Ask him if he hat
a Christian parentage, and if he says ye
