DEPENDS ON WHERE
you ARE BORN.
Just Because you have Seen Snow You
May not Know Everything.

When the young man from Florida
came to live In New York, he woke
up one morning last winter and, go
ing to the window, he looked out on
what was to him novel scene. 1t
was snowstorm, the first he had
ever seen.
Jumping into his clothes. he ran
into the street. He stopped and
gathered handfuls OF snow and threw
them in the air; he jumped into a
drift and sent it flying with his feet;
he finally lay down and rolled in it
all this time shouting and laughing
at the top OF his voice.
One OF the crowd which had gather
ed to watch bis antics went up TO him
and told him how his mother used TO
cure fits, and volunteered to try it on
him.
II haven't any it," the young man
said.
whats the matter with you,
then"
"Why, don't you see the snow"
Eyes, see 1t. What OF it? l
have seen IL before"
"Well, I haven't" said the Florida
young man.
What! You never saw snow be-
fore?n asked the astonished ques-
toner.
"Never. Seems strange to you don't
it?n
cit beats any sample OF verdancy l
ever run across"
"Oh, l don't know unused the
Florida cracker. Ibid you ever see
an alligator eating niger? No?
Well, you are not so many after all.
| have seen it many times" and,
throwing handful of snow down his
shirt collar, he pursued his joyous
gambols.

C. P. ASSEMBLY MEETS.
Moderator Morris Preached-Report
Submitted by Educational So
ciety Was Encouraging.

Springfield, Mo-, May 1.-THE sew
enty-second general assembly of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church in
the United States met here yesterday.

H. Black, OF Marshall. Mo-: Rev. DR..
e. G. McLain, of San Antonio, Tex,
and Rev. Dr. F. r. Earle, of Clarks-
vile, Ark.
The report of the educational So
cieties showed that there are 46S
probationers for the ministry, and
that there has been a general advance
in the spirit and work of education,
particularly in the colleges. The sum
available in 1902, $10.025. was not
discouraging. At the different col
leges 81 young men are preparing for
the ministry. The committee stated
that they wanted $4,000 for minis
terial education during 1902. The
total receipts for 1901 were $11,498,

The Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroad and
the Civil War. 1S61-1S65.

It was the first and most desirab BILE
point Of vantage coveted by both the
Federal and Confederate armies. In
May 1861, the four Federal advance
columns concentrated at Parkersburg,
w. Va, Wheeling, w. Va, Harper's
Ferry, W. Va, and at Washington.
To retain the advantage, the Federal
government established block houses
along the railroad from the Monocacy
to the Ohio river, besides forts at
Winchester, Harper's Ferry, Cumber-
land, Piedmont and New Creek, key
ser.) The B. 8 O. was the base of
operations for the Federal army for
nearly four years and from which the
government could not take advance
line earlier than November 1864.
The B. & o. was the means Of COM
munication between the West and
the Army Of the Potomac, and was
consequently in continual state Of
siege. Harper's Ferry the key to the
Shenandoah Valley, first famed
through the fanatical attempt Of
John Brown, In defying the laws and
customs of his country, was captured
or recaptured eight times In three
years. The Government Arsenal and
armories which were located there,
were destroyed by the government to
prevent their capture. One hundred
and seventy nine battles OF greater
Importance were fought on or ada
cent to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad

Vulnerable skirmishes.

a New Departure.

The Chicago, Milwaukee g. st. Paul
Railway has recently put in service on
its Pioneer Limited trains the largest
and handsomest dining car ever built.
1t is 80 feet in length from tip to tip,
and its body is 6 inches wider and
higher than the usual dining car. 1t
seats SO people comfortably In nova
BILE chairs, and has a kitchen large
enough to permit the working OF six
cooks which with six walters and a
conductor make up the crew. The
dining cars heretofore in service did
not provide sufficient space to properly
care for the large number of patrons
of the Pioneer, so that it became nec-
essary to have a larger car.

emily and on Wednesday evening had
been out with her daughter Mrs.
Vance to prayer meeting. On Thurs
day evening she had read the papers
until her usual time to retire when
she went up stairs with her little
grandson, Paul.
On reaching the room she sat down
and In moment the little fellow no
ticed that there was something
wrong. His grandmother was breath
ing heavily and her head had fallen
otar on her shoulder. He called bis
mother but when the family reached
the room Mrs. Courtney was dead.
She was SO years of age and was the
relict of Amos Courtney who died 20
years ago. For many years she had
been deyout member OF the M. q.

Bethel church where she will be bur-
led on Sunday. The funeral services

weeks ago and despite every thing
that loving hands and the best medi
cal skill obtainable could do she pass
ed away.
For several days before she died it
was realized that she would not recov-
er but the shock of her death was
none the less poignent when the end
came.
The funeral took place on Friday
afternoon at one thirty in the presence
of a large number of friends. The
services were conducted BY Dr.. A. M.
Buchanan and the Presbyterian choir

Many floral offerings attested the
high ESTEEM in which the deceased
was held by every one in the city.
The remains were taken to Middle
town, N. Y, on the afternoon train
where the interment will take place
on Saturday afternoon.
But two years ago Mrs. fortnight
came here with her husband DIR. f.
l.. Kortright who is assistant profess
sor OF chemistry In the University.
During that time she has made friends
of hundreds of our people who found
her to be noble Christian woman OF
the highest type of culture and refine
ment. In her death they feel a sense
OF personal bereavement and tender
to the afflicted their heart felt sympa-
thy.

rather bad one. The boat will be
