The Task Was impossible.

The plan to erect eight granite mon
Oliths in the chancel of the cathedral
of st. John the Divine in Manhattan
has been given up at last. The con-
tractor has for years been trying to
turn out these columns entire, sixty
feet long, but no machinery exists by
which they could be turned without
breaking by their own weight SO
the contract has been modified to al
low the columns to be in two sections,
thirty-siX and eighteen feet long re-
spectively. the bases, plnths and CAPT
tails to be added Three of these will
soon be erected. Each one will cost
$4,000, will be the gift of some indi-
vidual and named after eminent men

True humility bows lower as pros
perity rises higher.
A gloomy religion is as misleading
as a glistening sin.
Only the unworthy cause will use
unworthy means.
1t is hard to believe in clean relig
ion in dirty church.
1t takes two to make a quarrel. but
only one may make peace.
We are too altruistic over duties and
egotistic over rewards.
The only way to flee the vengeance
of sin is to fear it's venom.
Better to endure Satan's buffeting
than to enjoy his banqueting.
God makes the gates of heaven and
man cannot even measure them.
Many trust God for crown and GO
right on worrying over crumbs.
Long wind with God will not coun-
terbalancc short weight with men.
Big guns do not always get the big
game.

My little boy that died?
How many another boy, as dear and
charming.
His fathers hope, his mothers one de-

Slips through strange sicknesses, all fear

And lives long long life in parents

Mine was so short a pride
And then-my poor boy died.

But yet | often think my boy is living,
AS living as my other children are.

THE WEIGHT OF INNOCENCE
After Negroes Unsupported Plea the

After Negroes Unsupported Plea the
Jury Wouldn't Convict.
Ben Boyd tall negro miner from
the Indian Territory, was before the
Circuit Court recently on charge of
attempting to murder his comrade,
William Turner. Both worked in the
Central Coal and Coke COmpany's col
leries at Ardmore. Boyd was without
money and friends. The court appoint
ed lawyer to defend him, as he i'll
sisted he was not guilty.
After comforting with the defendant
and several negro miners, the prison
er's counsel came back in the court
room and said:
"YOur honor, | don't care about de-
feeding this man; he says he's limo
cent. but he hasn't got any witnesses,
and all the negroes down there tell me

tempted murder. | have suggested
that he plead guilty and throw himself
| on the mercy of the court, but he
won't do it,
The court told Boyd that was the
bes< thing for him to do, as the jury
might give him ten years.
Il wants trial, l does" said Boyd.
But yau haven't got any witnesses"
remarked MS attorney.
Don't make any difference; wants
to tell my story"
Witness after witness made the case
black against the prisoner. They said
he had got mad at Turner for nothing
and hit him Il crushing blow with a
pick on the head when Turner's back
was turned and while he was moving
away. 1t was late ut night when the
prisoners time came to tell his story.
| He got up from the chair and gave a
dramatic illustration of his fight with
the prosecuting witness

During his speech the negro waved
his hands like an orator and became
so earnest that he cried. 1t was prac-
tically all the defense made. The Jury
wrestled with the problem all night
and finally reported they could not
agree.
Then the negro offered to plead
guilty to common assault and take
twenty days in jail. 1t was a striking
