oLD-T1ME SCOTTISH DoM1N1Es
Their Thoroughness in Expounding
 The Scriptures Never Equalled.

London Chronicle.
 The length, breadth, depth and thor oughness of the Scottish sermon of the eighteenth century were wildly DOT trayed by Dr. Watson. better ,:nown as Ian Maclaren. at the Royal Institution was thoroughly thrashed out in those days. One text furnished a minister with eight sermons; another spread his com ments and explanations upon a passage of eight verses over a period of nine months. while a third commenced course of addresses to his cangrega ton on the Epistle of St. James in 1766 and a whole generation had passed away before it was completed in 17s2. Even the endurance of Scottish congregations seems sometimes to have been unequal to these great trials and an ordr had to be issued that the people should not entertain their neigh bors with discoulses while the minister was holding forth.
 It must have been easy to slip into heresy in those days. The declaration of a stern Cameron:on of the middle ot the century. which has fortunately been preserved. indicates the ready pitfalls for the feet.

THE PET CATS FATE.
A Long Story as the Old Gentleman
 Told It.

Washington Post.
 Several years ago Mark Twain wrote an excellent essay on How to Tell a Story. 1 feel that l could write a better one on How Not to Tell Story" re- marked Alexander Hamilton of Peters burg. Va. "On my way from Richmonr to Washington l met an acquaintance of mine one of those old-fashioned racon- teurs who are fond of diluting their sto- ries with Says l. Says he That re- minds me And by the way Don't you know? and similar expressions.
 Well. the old gentleman had just re- turned from tour around the world. and was unusually well stocked with things to say. He rode with me for three hours. After we had exchanged greetings he be- gan to tell me about an accident which q favorita cat of his wifes had suffered. The raconteur. the cat and myself toured the globe We went from New York tc Liverpool. and then we encircled the Med iterranean. We stopped at Rome and viewed the leaning tower ot Fisa Of course we took a trip through Egypt Tho ancient Egyptians reverence for cats could not have failed to lug Egypt into this tale of the feltne.
 when the old gentleman left me he had just killed his wte's cat. For three hours the poor kittie and suffered un- told agonies The story would not have ended so suddenly had not the old man heen compelled to leave the train. l was dazed hv tie unremitting strain ot talk and resolved that l would never tell an- other story as long al l live.

4 s-' st .tt sstf~-5s -sF~f sf q " s-' WANT PAY FOR l
 WORK ON DAM Suit to Recover $250,OOO
 is Filed. DAMAGED BY JAN. FLOOD Dam Across Tallapo0sa River at Tallassee Broke.
 centractors Bring Action for Refusal of Montgomery Water Power Company to Pay for Work Carried Away by Water.

Suit to recover s250,oc0 from the Mont- gomery Water Power Company has been filed in. the Circuit Court of Elmore County by W. A. Chapman X Co. of Prov idence, R. l., contractors for :he construc- tion of the dam across the Taliapoosa River, five miles from the town of Tal- lassee.
 . It will be remembered that about three months ago a section of the big dam and power house under construction by Chapman & Co. gave way under pressure of high water. and much of the work ac- complished by the engineers and work men was taken with 1t. The suit of Chapman & Co. is said to be based upon a refusal of the Montgomery Water Pow CT Company to pay for the work which was carried away by the water.
 w.; F. Vandiver. President of the Mont gomery Light & Power Company. said last night that his company had no con nection with the defendant company, which, he said, was controlled by Emer- son McMiilan & Co. of New York. He declared that he had no information con- corning the suit.
 Henry C. Jones, projector of the power plant at Tallassee, said he could not give any information about the work or the suit and referred representative of The Advertiser to W. A. Chapman of Providence. R. l., senior member of the plaintiff company. who is staying at the Arlington Hotel.
 To a, representative of The Advertiser who called at his hotel. Mir Chapman sent word that he was indisposed and did not care to discuss his affairs with a newspaper man.
 It Is understood that Chapman & Co. claim the Montgomery Water Power Company Is due them $21I 900 and interest for work done at Taliassee Falls. and that the power company has refused to pay their claim on the ground that the construction of the dam and other work was faulty and not according to specif- cations To this allegation. 1t Is under- stood Chapman & Go. set out in their bill filed in the Circuit Court of Elmore Coun- ty that the work was performed accord ing to specifications and under the direc- ton of an engineer who represented the Montgomery Water Power Company They further contend it is said that they gave bond for the faithful performance of the contract. and that they are pre- pared to show that the work was faith fully done. 1
 An interesting point was sprung upon the lawyers when they were ready to file the suit. It was whether the work being done at Talassee Falls is in Elmore County or in Tallapoosa County. The Tallapoosa River Is the dividing line be- tween these two counties. and 1t was necessary to consult the acts as the work is being done in the river. It was ascer- tained that the Fillmore County line is the east bank of the river, and here is where the work was swept away by the high waters.
 The suit will come on for trial at the spring term of the Elmore Circuit Court which will convene April 21.

L. & N. IN TROUBLE.
Nashville and Decatur Division Still
 Tied Up-Heavv Blockade.

The trouble on the Louisville and Nash vile seems to be more serious than was at first thought, and since Saturday trains have only been able to go as far north as Decatur. Besides the trouble at Linville. Tenn. mentioned by The Adver- user Sunday, it seems that there are sev- eral other bad breaks and traffic between Nashville and Decatur has been at a standstill. No trains from Cincinnati. Louisville or Chicago have been able to get to Montgomery, the only trains from the North entering the Union station since Saturday being the ones that were turned back at Decatur. Sunday morning Superintendent Mckinney of the M. and M. sent Roadmaster Shields and some cars of lumber up to the washouts and as something like 1000 men are working on the breaks the railroad people hope to have the line open some time today.
 Blocked in the Decatur yards are the 250 cars of bananas that passed through Montgomery Friday and Saturday. These cars. it will be remembered. were turned over to the l.. and N. at New Orleans and Mobile when the Illinois Central and Mobile and Ohio were washed up. Besides the freight cars In the Decatur yards, there are a number of passenger trains and the congestion of traffic is something friehtfui,

A Message
from the Dead


hinder the blue Of the Cuban sky,
a soldier lay. with great jagged
hole In his side and a fever burning
in his veins But in his eyes, fast
growing dim, the fire Of battle still
fingered
With a painful effort he raised upon
one elbow and gazed up the hill at the
stars and stripes that were pushing up,
up, up, into the very jaws Of death.
His ears caught the wild yell of his
comrades, exultant and far Oft, and he
grabbed the hat from his head and
swung it eSeitedly. Then he fell back,
exhausted, and lay quite stlll, listening
to the spasmodic volleys that told that
The battle was all but over
Presently there came to him two
comrades. On an arm Of each was a
red cross and between them they bore
litter. They gave him a sup Of water
from a canteen. Il revived his depart
Ing strength and he raised his head
slightly. His features were marked
with the lines OF agonizing pain, but
his lips had no complaint.
The fire in his eyes fiared up for an
instant as he gazed at the American
flag floating above block house away
yonder on the hill.

that is born of peace. From the fields
of strife; from the camps of fever and
death, homeward marched the rem
nant Of the army.
Warm was the handclasp Of those at
home; bright was the CLEAN of JOY in
the eyes of those who had loved and
feared and waited.
In the cabin on the prairie the wom-
an bent over her work with a resolute
face. Hers was not to be the ecstasy
of hand-clasp and the mothers kiss;
hers alone was the thought Of a lonely
grave in the Cuban hills.
But proudly she held her head and in
her eyes there CLEANED the courageous
fire of the Spartan of old. For
through her mind there rang a sen
tence from the blurred and crumpled
letter, which she carried in her bosom:
''Your boy died helping to put the
old flag on the top of El Caney; what.
ever his sins may have been, he re-
deemed them with the blood he laid
on the altar of his country"
And so, as she moved about the
house, there was the glow of triumph
on her face, and the song Of rejoic-
ing on her lips. And presently a
mans footsteps sounded on the
walk leading up from the gate
She opened the door and stood, i'm

The woman bowed her head and a

away" she said. "'Blessed be the
