Destruction Of . Famous Beacon Rock
On the Missouri.
: A force Of men cleaning the way for
the roadbed Of railroad blasted away
the other day the most historic rock on
the Missouri River. The rock stood for
centuries on blu6 Just above the old
town Of Marion, Mo-. where the new
railroad crosses Moniteau Greek. 1t
was IN the form Of q pyramid. eighty
feet high. One side resembled very
much the head Of q lion while the other
was q well-defned likeness Of a man.
/ There Is q tradition among the old
people Of the neighborhood that this
rock was once worshlped by the In
dams who came each year to hold cele-
brations. They called It God Moni.
tor" from which the creek and county
have acquired their names.
For centuries the rock stood there q
beacon and guide for all kinds Of river
craft. How old 1t was NO one can tell.
It was observed by the first French
explorers when they came up the river
In 170S. and 100 years later Lewis and
Clark saw and wrote descriptions Of
It.
! The rock originally bore queer
painting. which probably was discerni-
bic as late as 100 years ago. The paint
ing represented a frightful monster as

The Need Of Tenderness.

The grace of tenderness, for it il Q grace,
should be cultivated for its own sake 40
well as its invaluable aid in our service for
the Master. True tenderness modulates
the voice. Eliminates the face and presents
the word Of life in n spirit Of gentleness,
which wins a hearing for even unwe.come
truths. The world is in need Of just such
tenderness as was manifested by. our Lord,
and we rs His disciples can render no bet
ter service to Him than rejecting His ten
der sympathy as we pass along hfe's jour
ney.
People long for tenderness, Harsh meas
ures never won q soul to higher things.
Sympathy is the magic key By which We
may gain access to hungry, aching hearts.
Tenderness may be developed BY studying
the character OF our Master. he recog-
nized the innermost longings Of weary
mankind. and met this yearning with inn
mite tenderness and pity. Surely we as Hs
followers should initiate Him to the best
or cu- ability along this line. Let us de-
termiae ny the help Of the Holy Spirit
never to be betrayed into harshness. The
world is hard and cold enough witiout
you and adding tc. its burden. Rath.r let
us seek by tenderness .snd sympathy to aid
some soul to reach a hsmer foundation,
and bring joy and peace to o'sdme little cor
ner Of earth.-Gec.pe D. Gelwiess.

Good Cheer In Roii9ion.

It is . harpy thing to live. It Is 0
happy thing 10 die. Our religion has tho
promise OF the life that now is and also
Of that which is to come. It makes the
world ours and all things in it. We re-
joice in its beauty and its joys, the laugh
ter Of little children, the love, Of young
men and maidens, the grave friendship OF
the old, the confidence Of life and the
calm and trust wh;sh belong to US all.
Our religion now te.!s Us to look upon
these and all the beautiful things Of life,
aud to take them, holding them in holi-
ness as the happy gifts OF our glad God.
And. above all these, and in all these.
Christ is now revealed to Us. He was and
He will be. Yea, and He is. No other
day ever set Him so high or loved Him 90
dearly. To be sure, there is enough that
is dark still, and the shadows could be
drawn heavily, sadly, but this hour let VI
see the sunshine and play in it. The Lord
C...r;ss. He is the good cheer OF religion
to-day. as He has been in all days. If our
good cheer is better and cheerier than any
OF old. it is because We see Him more clear
Is and love Him more dearly because we
have gone little further in making our
life His and Him our life."'-Congresation-

The cyclone is believed to have orig.

have travelled in a northeasterly direc-

desolation behind In four States. but
Texas seems to have suffered most.
The town Of Goliad was wrecked. and
many persons were killed or wounded
there.
The latest reports from Goliad state
that ninriy-elsht persons were killed
and 103 injured by the tornado. The
property loss in the city and surround.

storm swept the city from end to end,
and demolished $50 stores and resi-.
dences. many of which cannot be re-
paired.
The storm struck Goliad about 3.45
o'clock D. M, lasting only about five
minutes. leaving death and disaster

THE BIGGEST BUNCo GAME
Swind!ers in fa-is Got Nearly $i2.-
100000 in an Amazing Way.
They We're Supposed New Iorksr'A
Heirs. and Borrowed on Mythical
Securities In an Empty Safe.

Paris. France.-Tne interest Of all
Paris Is focused on m empty safe at
G3 Avenue de Ia Grande Armee. The
opening of this safe by N. Cochefort.
Chief de la Surette. and his detectives
brought to light the greatest swindle
OF the century. The principals Of the
swindle have hed from Paris. and were
believed to be on their way to America.
The New York police were notified to
be on the lookout for them.
The empty safe at the mansion on the
Avenue de In Grande Armee. around
which the interest Of all Paris now
centres. was supposed to contain 1OO.-
OOO.OOOf. left by Robert Henry Craw-
ford. "an American millionaire" This
vast sum was supposed to be held in
trust by Nine. Therese Humbert. who
under Mr. Crawford's first will was
constituted his sole legatee and who.
on the strength of her title to the fic-
titious vast estate. succeeded in bOr-
rowing over GO.OOO.OOOf. from bankers.
money lenders. and others In France
and Belgium.
The case Is one which beggars all Of
the astounding inventions OF Dumas
and Gaboriau. 1t Is the story Of a
bogus heritage which was kept before
the French courts for nearly a quarter
Of a century. during which time the
author Of the bold invention. Nine
Humbert. daughter Of a Toulouse linen
dealer and daughter-in-law Of NJ. Hum
bert, one time Minister Of Justice. has
succeeded in living on her borrowings
In regal style and being courted In
Frances most exclusive circles.
For over fortnight LIE Matin has
been publishing sensational serial
concerning the financial transactions
of Nine. Humbert. her husband. and
her sister. Mile. Marie GAurisnac.
Opinion was divided as to whether the
story was pure fiction or mere cal
umny. and so few Of the Partisan con-
temporaries Of lie Matin would touch
II. But the investigation Of NJ. Coch.
effort has settled all that.
This gigantic swindle owes Its ex.
istence to the fact that the civil courts
Of France are permitted to place their
seals on property In liquidation with
out examining the property or making
any inventory Of 1t. Added to this Is
the story Of great Inheritance. nu-
merous lawsuits. and the amazing Gre.
dulity Of bankers.

by Judge Peter 8. Grosscup after the
close of arguments In the United States
Circuit Court room. The order gives
the relief prayed for in the bill fled
by District Attorney Bethea on May

the packers or their agents continue
with their present alleged uniform
ARRANGEMENTS they will be taken inte
court on contempt proceedings and the
burden Of proof will be on them to
show that they have not violated the
order in any particular. Little opposi.
ton was raised against the Govern

Ter, who was the sole representative OF
the packers present, pointed cut some
Objectionable clauses In the draft OF
nm order presented by Mr.. Bethea.
These concerned the alleged agreements
for credit, blacklistlns and carriage.
Judge Grosscup thought some Of these
minor clauses had been made too
prominent, and he himself drew form
Of order that pleased both sides. At
