Indian Ally.
New York, Jan. 7.-On the shores Of
Lake George, near the scene of the de-
feat Of the French in 1854 by colonial
troops, supported by the Mohawks, there
is soon to rise heroic bronze statue Of
Sir William Johnson and King Kendrick-
his Indian ally, to whose sagacity the
victory was largely due. This memorial
is the work of the Society of Colonial
Wars.
In August 1854, the French were max
ing attacks in three directions. General
Johnson proposed to divide his forces into
three parties to oppose them. Kendrick,
when consulted, picked up three arrows,
and handing one to General Johnson,
asked him to break it. This the general
did readily. Kendrick then put three
arrows together and handed them to his
ally, saying: PUT them together and you
cannot break them. Take them one by
one and you will break them readily"
The statue will illustrate this incident.

Woman Left House in Night
Clothes and Wandered in
Woods Until Frozen.

The dead body Of Mrs. Jake
Cluck, of near cambridge, was
found last Saturday morning in the
woods about one and half miles
from her home.
Mrs. Cluck arose from her bed
about 3 o'clock in the morning and
left the house in her night clothes.
Members Of the family heard her
when She arose and walked out,
but the sopposition was that she
had gone into another room for wa.
ter and no particular attention was
paid to the matter
After daylight it was discovered
that she was missing and her fail.
ure to return at the breakfast hour
caused alarm, and a search was
instituted by Mr.. Cluck and some
OF his neighbors.
The woman was barefooted and
10 walking over the ice and sleet
her feet were soon cut and COM
menced bleeding The hunting
party had not gone far until they
found her bloody tracks and follow
ing them to the woods the search
was continued. About 9 O'Clock in
the morning they came upon the
corpse, lying on her side, with her
face frozen to the ground
No marks of violence were found
on the body and it was evident that
she had frozen to death, and had
been there since her disappearance.
Mrs. Cluck was about As years
old and had not enjoyed good health
for year or more. It is believed
that continued i'll health had affect
ed her mind and that she was not
rational when she wandered away
to her death.

he sinned God so loved him that,
before driving him out of the gar
den he revealed his divine purpose
to him. But everything went down
in sin, character and all. He lost
his desire for righteousness, lost his
will for righteousness. He says
don t care, In his sinful, misera-
BILE state he says Il have no desire,
no will to recover myself from these
things. If there were nothing else
in this Bible portrait, sketched in
bold lines, it should be sufficient to
show the awful condition of fallen
man. What is true of Adam is true
of us all. Man is IN a state of sin,
is without standing, has lost COM
munion with God, and without NOR
al ability. With no standing with
God, no desire for anything better,
no communion with God, he is in a
condition worse than a thousand
bells in the other world. Suppose
that God should throw open the
gates of heaven and let him rush
right in, what would the God of
Eden be? What would heaven be?
Think of man rushing out of hell
right into heaven Heaven would
be the last place you would want to
go to. A man who was to go on an
excursion boat to a political con-
vention, by mistake got on a Sun
day school excursion boat. 1t did
not take him long to realize his
mistake. Young people here and
there reading the Bible and sing
ing the Sweet Bye and Bye
wasn't what he wanted. He was
almost crazed and rushed up to the
captain and criet out: "Put me off
this boat, l am ia hell"
What is forgiveness? Man never
had anything to lose-God gave
him everything he ever had. For
giveness is not something he ever
lost. The angels do not have to be
forgiven. 1t is only man, the best
loved, the most honored, the one
that he loves besthas to be forgiven
Forgiveness for sin is secured
only by the atoning blood of Christ.
You can't save yourself by your
tears. It is not justi6cation-all
that believe are justified. Man S
attitude before God made the cross.
It is the way back to God. Man
without character and standing be-
fore God is like a star out of its or
bit. He is put back in his orbit and
into harmony with God. He is the
first star in the mind of God. Man,
when he lost everything else, did
not lose the love of God. Man new
er looks for God, but God is always
looking for him. Forgiveness isrin
Christ. If you receive divine for
giveness you must receive Christ.
When a man says, 81 am afraid of
God, and will run away from him,
he must suffer the penalty. When
you violate the laws of nature, ma
ture exacts a penalty every time.
Law only knows penalty for
transgression You have violated
Gods law, bnt he loves you, he is
you, and would have you
come back to him. But you can
only get back Through the wide
open gate Of heaven by coufessing
Christ.

her. She was a heavenly inquirer;
she loved to talk about heaven;
we are fully assured that could she
return that her story of heaven
would be grand; we miss her, as
her teacher in tho Sunday school,
her classmates miss her, mama,

We would not call her back again
To earth's tolls, care and strife,
From the bright mansions above
And the joys Of an endless life.

DESPERATE CONvICTS
Make q Break for Liberty at tho
Frankfort Penitentiary.

Three desperate prisoners, Wal
lace Bishop and Thos. Mulligan,
of Covipgton, and Lafayette
Brooks, of Morgan county, assist
ed by Albert Ransom, colored, of
Louisville, made a break for liber-
ty at the Frankfort penitentiary
at 6 o'clock Wednesday morning.
Failing in the effort to escape or
to kill prison officials, which seem
ed to be a part of the plot, they
stood at bay in one of the prison
shop rooms, holding Foreman
Charles Willis in durance, for
more than four hours. After the
negro Ransom had been wounded,
and Brooks had also sustained a
slight wound, they agreed to sur
render. Bishop rebelled against
the agreement and made show of
resistance. He was shot by Geo.
Frey, a guard, and died late in the
afternoon. Bishop was the leader
of the mutiny, which was planned
six months ago.
