A few months ago some doubling
correspondents limited that the story
of Nancy Hart was probably an exag-
gerated romance or handed down
tradition or maybe myth. 1t is for
tunate that the doubt was published, for
1t awakened and aroused the good old
| people of Ebert and Hart counties
and brought to light facts and records
concerning the old lady that might
have passed into oblivion. That the
story of her heroism is true is now
established as clearly as it was when
Hart County was cut off from Elbert
and named for her, the only county in
Georgia that was named for woman

est. The same remark, however, is
just al applicable to the presidential
candidacy. Four candidates are
prominently mentioned for the Demo-
cratic nomination in 1904. for Cover
nor Of Missouri. They are Secretary
of State Sam B. Cook, of Jefferson
City; Mayor Jas. A. Reed. of Kansas
City; Congressman Chas. F. Cochran,
of St. Joseph, and Lieut.. Gov. John
A. Lee. OF St. Louis. OF these, that
of their townsman, Gov. Lee, is natur-
ally the most interesting to St. Louis
ans. He is quite popular among all
classes Of citizens. Gov. Lee is one OF
the most versatile newspaper writer's
and resourceful public speakers in this
State. He is we'll versed 10 economic
topics. has broad and liberal views on
public questions and1is a loyal Demo-
crat of the Bryan stamp. He possesses
great strength with commercial travel

up in defense Of Mr.. Wallace. 1t
seems that Wallace has carried only
q county in the State. his home

no earthly chance of election by Demo-
Gratis. The question naturally arises,
what is he running forP Why don't

Stone, his opponent, who has pracs
tically the endorsement of the entire
Democracy of the State? Wallace is
the candidate of the goldbug reorgan-
izers, who hope to compass Stones de-
feat, either by electiug Kerens, or in
event the Republicans despair Of that,
then by their throwing their strength
to Wallace, who did them a good turn
by voting for Mckinley in 1896. The
fact that the Republic PUSHES in to de-
fend Wallace against such charges, and
that papers failure so far to 80 much

didacy, is evidence enough that the
enemies inside the ranks are en-.
deavorihg to play a trick on the party

Why the Minister Resigned.

Eyes" said the devil to the minis
ter, ''your church is full OF liars"
"Whatm cried the minister indig-
nantly.
Your church is full of liars" re-
peated the devil calmly. .'Let us see.
You have a membership Of 300"
"Three hundred and Fifteen" cor
rected the minister.
Three hundred and fifteen. One
hundred of them are men-seventy-
five of them business men. All OF
them when they joined the church
solemnly vowed before their Savior to
support the church services and to
love the life of the church as the apple
of the eye. Isn't that SOP"
at is," replied the minister anx-
iously.
"Now, then" continued the devil
with q sheer, chow many of these
members ever 60 to the church or
prayer meeting?n
"How many" faltered the minister.
Eyes, how many?"
The minister made a rapid ~calcula-
ton as his memory called up the ap-
p~earance of his church chapel on
prayer meeting nights.
About fifteen"
"Whatw cried the devil. Efficient
Are you sureP"
maybe it is a little more than
usual" the minister stammered.
"Well, never mind. Call it fifteen
of your seventy-five business men at
tending the prayer meeting regu-
larly. The rest never come, or very
seldom. How many women are
thereP
"About fifty or sixty" replied the
minister, Frightening up a little.
Fifty or sixty out of 200. Say a
possible seventy-ive attend prayer
meeting regularly out Of 315 members.
And all of them vowed solemnly to
support the church in all its services.
| said your church was full of liars.
Isn't it truep"
"a good many OF the members are
SO situated that they cannot get out
in the evening"" groaned the min.
lister.
"Did you ave know those members
to stay from a party OF supper if they
were invited out that EVENING"" asked
the devil.
The minister was silent.
"Did you ever have half your church
members out to prayer meeting at one
timep" asked the devil sneeringly.
The minister smiled family. 1t was
too absurd an idea to entertain. The
devil continued remorselessly:
preacher, your influence is less
than mine. | get th%ree-fourths OF
your church members to attend the
pleasures of the world and break their
vows on prayer meeting night. Don't
you think the church is a failurea
Don't you think you had better re-
sign and go into something elseP"
The minister covered his face with
his hands, and answered never a word.
Next Sunday he handed in his resig-
nation. And yet his church members
were very much surprised. They could
not understand why he was discour-
aged. But the devil knew very well.

If plain English means what it says,
we are forced to conclude that the Re-
p%ublicans are showing signs of going
up to the anxious seat on the question
OF protection. The Baltimore Ameri-
can, a Republican organ, utters the
following orthodox Democratic doc
trine apropos the Iowa tariff revision
declaration:
1.-The revisionist sentiment won in
the Iowa Republican Convention. u
declares unequivocaIly for such revision
ofthe existing tarif Iaws as wsU wiM-
draw from all m~onopolieS the support
mow furnished them By the Dimgley
schedules. For the most vital issue
now before the Republicans is that Of
tariff revision. The men who, though
acting as entirely blind, oppose every
suggestion Of a cut in the Dingley
schedules, may proclaim greater
friendship for the party than this
newer element, but the claim Is one
they cannot substantiate. The Iowa
Republicans would have the wishes OF
the Republicans complied with, in
stead Of undertaking to deny them
through a mistaken idea that Excess
sive protection is a thing to be Gu
forced. no matter what the consequent
ces, just because ii waS ONCE the cardt.
nal principles Of The Republican faith
Protection is good just as long as It
serves the ends for which it was de-
signed, and no longer. II must 10. dag
be confessed that IN many instances pro-
lection has been made Wholly SuperfuouS
so far as the interests Of industry are
concerned, and oppressive so far as the
people are concerned"

EVER since the Springfield conven-
ton the Republican papers have been
declaring that Judge Sherwood was
turned down because he would not do
the bidding of the corporations. All
during the campaign and before the
convention was held, these same Re-
publican papers were asserting that
Judge Sherwood had a cinch on re-
nomination because he was a corpora
tion judge. These Republican papers
are most consistent.

sALEsMEN'S TRIALS. Bad Food Is One of Them.

Road travelling is rather hard on sales men. Irregular hours. indifferent hotels and badly cooked food play smash with their digestion.
 An old Philadelphia traveller tells how he got the start of his troubles by using Grape Nuts. For years I was troubled with a bad stomach, which gave me constant headaches and pains all through my body, caused by eating improper food. I spent considerable money on doctors, who said I had indigestion, and after taking medicine for a year and 1t doing me no good, l decided to go on a diet. but the different cereals ate did not help me. If it hadn't been for the ad- vice of friend to try Grape-Nuts, l might be ailing yet
 I commenced to feel better in a short time after using the food; my indigestion left me; stomach regained It's tone so that I could eat anything. and headaches stopped. I have gained in weight, and have a better complexion than I had for years. At many hotels, the salesmen will have nothing in the line of cereals but Grape-Nuts, as they consider 1t not only delicious. but also beneficial for their health in the life they lead" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

CAUSED A PANIC.
Indiana Girl Got Into a Bath Tub
 Containing Three Large EeIs.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 There lives a family on Delaware place with a palate for cells. As often as twice a week the head of the fam fly carries home from the fish market two or three of the slippery, snake like wrigglers. He usually returns home late at night, and it is his GUS tom to put the eels in a bucket of water, where they are kept until morn ing.
 In the front rooms of the apartment where lives this family are two young women from Indiana, who, during their sojourn in the city, are boarding with the family of eel eaters. Each of the young women have eaten of the cooked food, but neither of them ever saw an eel.
 One night last week the man of the house took home three cells. After stumbling about the darkened house in futile search for bucket he hit upon another plan. He tiptoed to the bathroom and turned the eels loose in the bath tub.
 As soon as the house was quiet the younger of the two sisters, dressed for her dreams, stole out of her room with heavy crash towel across her arm and proceeded to the bathroom. The room was dark and she could find no matches. Not caring to search for a match, she decided to bathe in the dark, and accordingly turned on the hot and cold water When the tub was well filled the young woman step ped in. The hot water had put life into the slippery cells, and when the young woman got both feet into the tub the creatures slid around her ankles and across her feet.
 That was all she remembered. With one hysterical scream she began kick elder sister, fearing she was being mur- elder sister, fearing SC was being mur- dered, ran to the bathroom, but found the door locked. After couple of moments had elapsed the girl i'm prisoned in the bathroom fell out of the tub and managed to unlock the door. Not hearing the anxious ques- tions her frightened sister was crying at her. she fairly flew down the hall way, clad only in the darkness.
 The whole family was aroused by the screams, and lights flared up in every apartment in the big building. The women of the house and the elder sister, after fifteen minutes work, succeeded in calming the frightened | bather.
 What in the world is the matter, sister," asked the elder one.
 "Oh, horrors!" shuddered the hys- terical girl, "the bath tub is full of snakes"
 By this time the head of the family clad in pajamas, was tottering up and down the hallway choking in spasm of laughter. He stamped his feet, hit his head against the wall, and at last controlled himself sufficiently to light the gas in the bathroom and call his wife to take look at the room. The floor was flooded with water, and two of the cells were wriggling upon the | floor
