near Wadesville, we're struck by
lightning and killed.
The covs had taken shelter un-

A Great Mistake.

When our friends go away from
us into the land that no mortal eye
has seen it is natural for us to feel
fresh rush of love toward them.
Such faults as they had. if they
had any. are instantly forgotten,
Their virtues, on the other hand,
are msgnified in our vision. God
forbid that it should be otherwise.
1t il we'll that death bushes the
voice of censure and condemnation,
and loosens the tongue of praise.
Over new-made grave. who dare
to think any bitter thoughts, or to
speak any harsh words? There at
last the mystery of existence should
soften and sweeten whatever is
harsh or ungentle in our natures.
But there is caution that needs
to be observed even here. We do
no real honor to the dead by neg
lecting the living. While we hold
the-departed ones in blessed mem.
ory, and even transfgure them into
a new glory, let us not forget the
faces that still look into our eyes
with an appeal for sympathy and
love, and the hearts that are still
burdened with the woes and sor-
rows of their earthly pilgrimage,
and therefore need our daily help.
God takes care of the dead, they
are in his keeping. Nothing can
hurt or harm them there.
But the living-ah, how vast are
their wants. One day they too
will make long journey, and then
we shall feel an unappeasable ache
and pain for having neglected
them while it was in our power to
do something of account for them.
And they are worthy. They stand
so close to us that we often find it
difficult to see how deserving they
are; but when they are lifted up
and set afar off from us they shall
shine like stars in the heavens.
Hard by us in the struggle, under
our own roofs, perhaps, there are
as true and noble souls as ever
walked the earth.
Were it not for the dullness and
blindness of our eyes we could not
fail to recognize them; and we
ought to pray for the gift of illu-
mination.

his advertising that his store and
goods really warrant. You can't

the hired girl who tried to start a
fire with kerosene, and a grass

Superstition in Every Cl1me.

Superstition dies hard. The
American who believes that all his
good fortune can be traced to the
carrying of rabbits foot in his
vest pocket has his prototype in
every civilized and uncivilized
country, says the Philadelphia
North American.
No sailor in New England feels
perfectly safe in going to sea un-
less he carries with him bone
taken from living turtle. a peb-
bic from fish hawks nest, or a
small bone from the head of cod.

spider crawling before one signi-

bowling of dog or the neighing

In Asia Minor a meaning is as

English yokels are especially su-

soldier,s PIain Tall..

Ata Democratic County Conven-
tion in Indiana, a few days ago,
David F. Allen, a soldier recently
returned from the Philippines and
brevetted Major by the President,
said, in speaking of the war for the
subjugation of the Filipinos:
81 want you to understand me
that this war was wrong in its con-
ception, and it is wicked to contin-
ne it's prosecution. 1t was born of
theory of government that is
wholly un-American, is contrary
to the conscience of our Govern
ment and Declaration of Independ-
ence, and its continuance is worse
than criminal. Grevious wrongs
are being done. but they must not
be charged up to the army. The
army must be upheld, but get back
behind the army at. those who are
using it to drive the American Re-
public into the ranks If monarch
ial governments"
Major Allen is right. The SOL
dier is simply machine and his
duty is to obey orders. But back
of the army and responsible for
what it is doing are the Nation ad-
ministration and the Republican
party in Congress.

Great Gum CompIeted.

After four years the 16-inch gun
which has been in the course of
construction at the Wateryliet Ar
senal is completed.
Z This death-dealing monster is
the largest gun ever made, and if
it proves a success more of the
same style will be made for the sea-
coast defense. 1t is to be shipped
to Sandy Hook as soon as its car
riage, which is being made at
Washington, is finished, and when
it is proved the artillery experts OF
the world will be present at the
trial. 1t is claimed the gun will
throw a shot 81 miles. In order
to discharge it it will require 1,00C
pounds of powder and a 2,00C
pound projectile. Its mechanism
is SO simple that it can be operated
by child. After some delibera.
tion it has been decided to put the
gun on disappearing carriage al
Fort Hamilton. The gun weighs
100000 pounds.
