who was mentioned as a possible can didate for the nomination, seems to have given up any idea that he might have had of entering the race.
 Capt Johnston protested early in the year that he would not only not seek the nomination, but that he would not al- low his name to be used in the conven- tion. Later on his followers pointed out that he was the only logical and avail able candidate of the Democratic fac tlon which opposed the ratification of the new constitution last fall and they are now insisting more strongly than ever that he should run. If MT. Wilson speaks by authority, Capt. Johnston has yielded to the entreaties of his friends and changed his mind about the question of his candidacy. Partisans of the former governor in this part of the state say that if Capt. Johnston announces 1t will not be until shortly before the eonven- ton.

IN JORDAN'S SACRED WATERS.
Pious Russian Pilgrims Ceremonies in
the Holy Land.

Pious Russian Pilgrims Ceremonies in
the Holy Land.
The traveller in the Holy Land will
witness few sights which will interest
him more than that Of the Russian pill
grims at the annual Epiphany cere-
monies on the banks of the River Jor-
dan. A week before the festival itself
crowds of these Slav peasants are seen
trudging along the Jericho road with
every imaginable kind of haversack
and carry-all on their backs. Some of
the pilgrims are old and weatherworn,
others young and cheerful, while a. few
overcome by sleep and fatigue, are ly-
ing prone along the roadside But
somehow the whole lot, young and
old, mango to reach the banks of the
river in good time for the ceremony.
They spend the night, perhaps in the
Russian hospice at Jericho, where they
simply huddle together like a flock of
sheep. Before dawn the rooms are
empty and the whole crowd has gath
cred on the bank, where Greek priests
who will presently draw most lucra-
tive trade, await them. The principal
articles sold are branches ftrees from
various sacred spots, stones from the
Mountain of Temptation hard by,
plants from the wilderness and rosaries
with olive stones for beads. To what
ever religious value is claimed for these
articles the Russian peasnts implicitly
give credence, and they willingly pay
their money to obtain them.
During the hours Immediately pre-
ceding the ceremony the motley crowd
is occupied in prayer and silent devo-
ton. To many pilgrims this occasion
is one of the greatest life can bring,
namely, to be permitted not only to
visit the Jordan, but actually to battle
in it's sacred waters. Suddenly chant
ing is heard, and the crowd quickly
opens to let procession of purple-clad
ecclesastics pass to the waters, then
the pilgrims close in again and station
themselves along the banks, eager and
watchful. And now, quite reverently, a
jewelled cross is laid by the patriarch
on the surface of the stream to bless
it, and no sooner does the sacred SYM
boil touch the water a dive is made into
it by the enthusiastic crowd, which
splashes and sprays and receives the
baptism, and the longer it lasts the
greater the merit the pilgrim will en-
joy.
All dripping with water, each shroud
is now wrung out and slowed away to
serve as the cerecloth when the pill
grimage of life is over and the body Is
ready for the grave. AS the traveller
rides away the next day to Jerusalem
he will see these childlike peasants,
bedraggled with mud and fatigued by
constant sleeplessnes, Flooding along
toward the holy city chanting and
singing as they go and leaning on their
sticks OF reed. But there is now
smile on their faces and joy in their
hearts, for have they not bathed in the
waters Of Jordan From the London
Telegraph.

FOOD TO USE
Wien Doctor is not Convenient.

Many people dislike to call il a
doctor until 1t is absolutely necessary;
frequently a change Of food will work
wonders.
A young lady in Russellville, KY,
says, IT was taken ill six weeks ago.
and could not take solid food; was only
allowed to eat soup and milk In about
a week, got so weak and nervous that
I could not sleep. Father wanted to
call in g. doctor. but I objected, as I
didn't feel I needed medicine as much
as good food. The next day Father had
to go to town, and brought back a
package os GTaDe-Nuts with him, and
I commenced to eat it twice a daY in
milk. I would get hungry for it from
one time to the next. In few nights,
I could sleep soundly all night, and in
two weeks l was up, and had actually
gained flesh, and was soon as strong
as before I got sick.
I would not be without Grape Nuts
now for anything. and my friends COM
ment on my looks. tell them / owe
it to Grape-Nuts, and recommend it to
all who complain with stomach trouble,
which is the general complaint in this
neighborhood." Name given by Postum

AT CENTER CHURCH.

DR.. and Mrs. Taylor to Speak To-mor-
row Night.
A mass meeting of the New Haven
churches and students of the Uni
versity will be held in the Center
church on Thursday evening. No
vember 20. at which Mr. and Mrs.
F. Howard Taylor of the China
Island Mission will speak. The men
who attended the Toronto conven-
ton last winter will remember Dr.
and Mrs. Taylor with great pleasure.
DR.. Taylor is the son of Rev. ]. Hud-
son Taylor, founder and director of
the China Island Mission. Mrs.
Taylor, formerly Miss Geraldine
Guinness, is the author of several
excellent books dealing with the
Orient and is an unusually magnetic
speaker. Mrs. Taylor resembles Mrs.
Darlington Booth in the eloquence and
inspiring character of her addresses.
Perhaps no missionaries who have Wis
tied this country of recent years have
appealed so strongly to college men.
The visit of the Taylors has been
arranged only with difficulty and after
a correspondence begun last spring.
Recently they have been making tour
in Canada and soon they are to sail
for England, their home land. whence
they will return to China. Their time
is so limited that they have been oblig-
ed to refuse most of the invitations
that have come to them from this part
of the country. Boston and New Ha-
ven are the only cities of New England
that they will visit.
Mrs Taylor will also address infor-
malIy meeting Of those members of
the University who are especially in
terested in missions on Friday after
noon at 2 o'clock in Dwight hall, and
will also speak before the Divinity stu
dents in Marquand chapel on Friday.
