PIETY RE-
WARDED.

WARDED. maid, who earned
cher living by Civ
ing dancing lessons And one fall,
when she was about to open the
school, tidings came that missionary
from the far off village Of the whites
on Massachusetts Bay was on his way
to her nation, to teach them the right
way to worship the Great Spirit. And
she had been there so often that
these tidings made her heart very
heavy. She knew just what he would
do-he would tell them that the last
missionary had taught them all wrong;
that the way they were worshiping
was very displeasing to the Great
Spirit, and that they must drop it all
and worship in has way and that they
must not on any account dance any
more for any cause whatever. And
that would knock the spots out of the
poor Indian Maids dancing school,
and all the chiefs would organize
Sunday school classes instead. and the
warriors go around looking dreadful
sour trying to memorize the last set
of prayers and regulations.
So the devout Indian Maid went off
behind butte, where the white
mans Great Spirit couldn't see her,
and prayed very hard to Tirawa that
he would avert this missionary, or at
least defer him until her season was
over. And Tirawa recalled that she
was a good girl, who toddled up to
the medicine lodge unrebuked each
year, and that he had never heard any
of the warriors mention her name in
relating the dreadful warpath secret,
and he took pity OH her, and sent the
smallpox, and the Blackfeet, and
grizzly bear and flood and landslides,
and kept that missionary on the far
side of the mountains until the next
spring. And by that time the Indian
Maid had collected her dues and closed
her dancing school, and she gave
thanks to Tirawa in very especial
manner, and chopped off the end joint
of one finger for his benefit; and then
went and joined all the missionary's
classes, and learned astonishingly
fast, and soon became his favorite
pupil, so that he wrote up her affect
ing story, what he knew Of it, for the

State Bonds Purchase.

Nashville, FEB. 1S.-The amount of
bonds purchased under the operations
of the sinking fund act is rapidly ap-
preaching the million dollar mark and
will beyond question pass it during the
current year. The fact that the state
is in condition to purchase bonds has
become known among bondholders and
advantageous offers are made to the
state at prices below those at which
bonds could be secured in the open
market.
Treasurer Folk acting for the fund
ing board, has just closed another deal
by means ofIwhich the state will be-
come possessed of 100000 more bonds
at 964 and interest, the bonds to be de-
livered in lots as called for between
now and April 10. The sinking fund
will more than enable the board to
care for this purchase, as it will amount
to between $40, 900 and $50, 900 during
February and to $50, 600 during March.
This makes $500, 900 in bonds pur-
chased since January /, and 1907, 500
purchased since the sinking fund went
into effect.
The state is about 81, 100000 better
off than it was three years ago.

tice OF law, he and Frank Thompson
opened an Office in the old Richardson
building. They had nothing but friends
and when a man is broken down to his
friends he is usually on the cloth.
One day while the man was laying
the carpet that the two attorneys had
bought on credit, young fellow came
into the Office and asked for employ
ment. He said that he could write a
little shorthand and would take any
thing for a start. He drifted along in
this capacity for while and the bust
ness failed to yield the promised re-
wards. Then the Governor went up to
johnson City and began working on
his first lecture. The young fellow re-
called the "Whither thou goest, ! will
go" story, and pinned his faith to the
fortunes of the former Governor, which
did not then give promise of any brown
stone front possibilities. The lecture
business prospered, and the young
man became the manager Of the gov
ernor. He developed much business
ability, grew to resemble the lecturer
and carved very successful place fol-
himself.
The young fellow who came to Chat.
tanooga was Mr.. Rice, and he has
steadily made his way to an independ,
emit position. A few years ago he mar
ried charming little lady, and cou

they given the opportunity, The Mo-
hammedan heaven is q sort of realiza-
ton Of Faust's dream and the heaven
OF Revelations 10 the love Of money and
precious stones given material obiec-

OF course no one knows anything
about heaven or ever will know until
he gets there, and one has as much
right to picture heaven of his own as
anyone else, and people do this. Those
who suffer in mind and body on this
earth hope to find in heaven q cessation
Of pain and torture, and to be relieved
from all that is unpleasant. Those
who are scourged by the rod of toll or
goaded on by necessity look forward to
q time and place where they may rest
from their labors and lay aside their
crushing burdens. Those who are
tossed and buffeted about and consum-
ed by life's ftful fever picture to them
selves heaven in which all is quietude.
And so on. Just what the individual
will be when he passes the pearly gates
it is not easy to tell. II he retains his
individuality and is a complete entity
as he is on this earth, what particular
phase Of that entity will he be? What
period of his life will he select by which
to reveal himself? Will he approach
the throne as an infant, as a man Of
maturity or, as he passes from earth
bowed down with age? To retain hi
individuality he must make choice. i

Mr.. Cleveland was elected in 1892 to
reform the tariff. 1t was for that the
old democratic craft was put in COM
mission. Two years before, the Sher-
man silver law was enacted and our
national finances were thus diluted at
the rate of some So, 900, 900 per month
with full legal tender, stump-tail mon
ey, worth AZ cents on the dollar. The
result was inevitable. Real money was
virtually demonetized. Gold went to
the stocking, or went abroad. There
was a financial panic and universal
business prostration. Had Cleveland
been weak man he would have gone
to silver basis inevitably. He was a
strong man and determined to main
tain the public faith and preserve the
public credit. How we'll he did II is
known Of all men. But it was at a
frightful cost-frightful because the
swine in congress new not the pearls
he cast before them. That is history
with big II.
The Sherman silver law was most
vicious Legislation. There is no doubt
of that. It's author so recognized it.
1t was indeed a 'makeshift," but il
served a benefit purpose. 1t saved
President Harrison the responsibility
of veto of free coinage measure
which would have made 10 to the
paramount issue Of a national campaign

was accomplished business began t,

about newspaper etiquette to know
that it is plagiarism to take all or any

Heaven.

Jealous clergymen who attempt to
save souls by the ancient and arthodox
method of picturing out the terrors of
hell and the beauty of heaven give us
odd conceptions of the new Jerusalem
at times. The heavens of their varie-
gated fancies are startlingly unlike
each other and strangely different from
the average conceptions. This is not
surprising, inasmuch as heaven is to
the individual either matter of faith
or personal equation. Almost every
one believes in a heaven of some sort
whittier souls of the children of men
will go, but when the individual at
tempts to see with his mental vision
the form and appearance Of the heaven
of his hope and faith, the object
reveals itself to him only as it relates
to the structure of his own mind. The
heaven or place of future existence of
the classics was rather an Indifferent
sort of place. 1t was a compromise
between heaven and hell. When Pluto
stole Proserpine, the daughter Of Ceres,
and carried her away to his dominions
across the river Styx, he installed her
as queen Of the gloomy regions which,
if women loved titles in those days as
well as they do in these, was about all
the heaven she wanted. The heaven
or nirvana of the Buddhist is vastly
different from the after world Of the
classics. The devout Buddhist firmly
believes in a final emancipation Of the
soul and freedom from its weary pro-
cess of TRANSPORTATION.
He believes that his soul will be alb
sorbed into the divine or utterly and
entirely annihilated. His idea Of heav-
en- is place where he either does not
exist at all or where he will lose all in
dividuality and consciousness and be-
come merely part of the great whole.
His heaven is rather cheerless place
for those who sensibly realize that they
are individual entities against the de-
struction or absorption of which they
naturally protest The heaven of the
Mohammedans ought to be very de-
lightful place if their concept can be
realized. 1t is paradise filled with
every attraction and allurement among
which are any number of hours, OF
charming black-eyed girls Of transcend
ent beauty. A good many people who
are not Mohammedans have weakness
for blackeyd girls Of transcendent beau
ty and would not object to getting in
the boat with some trusty, long beard
ed muezzen if such thing we're posi-
BILE. The heaven of the Mohammedar
is merely an extention or qualification
of his peculiar animalism. Pretty wo
men and sensual pleasure are his high
est aspiration. In this he is not unlik,
other people who also form their heav
en- out of their concepts of creates

The Christians "house of many man

beautiful than the idea Of great space
and freedom and liberty to circl,

Capt. Moorhouse is an old citizen. a

elect of duty or failure to perform any
official acts faithfully and well can be
brought against him. He is an old
soldier. a tried and trustworthy public
servant. While he has been in the
auditors Office. the work of that de-
partment has been attended as never
before in the history of the county.
He has been kind and courteous to all
corners, and has devoted his entire
time and attention to county affairs.
Township officials, assessors and all
other officers who have had business
with him know that he has been ever
ready to lend a helping hand toward
the prompt and proper performance of
their duties as well as his own. He
has been active in clearing the tax roll
OF delinquent taxes. and finding means
to bring the county out Of the slough
