Our Junior Senator.

New Orleans States.]
In q strong article in support Of
the return of Senator Foster to
the United States Senate, the
Franklin Waterman, which was
at one time bitterly opposed to
the Senator, says:
He is a born statesman and
thoroughly trainedin allits artistic
embellishments. just previous to
taking q seat in the Senate he was
Governor of the State for eight
years, and displayed a dash and
brilliancy which brought him a
national reputation as being one
among the South's ablest men,
He was sent to the Senate and
held his own with the worlds in.
tellectual giants. He accomplish
ed much. Louisiana's represen-
tative was heard above the din
and buster of selfishness."
Another thing that may be said
in Senator Fosters favor is that
his optimism and loyalty to every
interest of Louisiana, combined
with mis- great ability and his
genius for organization, make his
election most desirable at this
time. When he goes back to the
Senate with the vote of confidence
of his people to sustain him, as
will be the case just as certainly
as he lives, he will 60 there as a
friend and defender of Louisiana,
one who is wholly in love with his
State and en- rapport with her
institutions, and who viii moi

even for campaign purposes, as
discrediting his State, or the rec
ord made by her sons. He has
been a leader in the evolution Of
the State, and his Intelligent
leadership has much to do with
elevating her to the high plane
she now occupies. That her sons
appreciate this fact will be attest.

How strong are the ties OF
friendship, and how greatly do
we learn to prize them. The
stalwart man, in the glory and
pride of his manhood, self-reliant
and independent, is a noble and
grand figure. How much nobler
and grander does he become when
touched with . spirit of gentle
ness and kindness, . tender and
merciful regard for the feelings
of others. We have not the right
to live to ourselves, and as we
withdraw from communion with
our fellow man we become narrow
and contracted, selfish and dwarf
ed. The best things of life are
brought out by the contact of men
with each other, which promote
and encourage the friendly feeling,
and develop the better parts of
our nature. There comes to all,
too, a time when the successes of
the world do not satisfy, when its
honors pail upon US, and the
emptiness and hallowness of ac-
complished worldly ambition are
but too plainly felt. When sick
ness prostrates us, when misfor-
tune overtakes US, when the hand
of death is laid upon our loved
ones, then no human aid can en-
spirit and encourage us like thai
of a true friendly heart and the
grasp of q friends hand.

STONES FROM RIVER JORDAN.
Brought From Jericho to Joppa to Be
Shipped to Washington

The bishop of Washington, Rev. Henry
Satterlee, has received information that the
stones taken from the River Jordan, of
which it is intended to form the lining of
the baptismal font at Cathedral Close,
Tenleytown road, are on their way to this
country and will be delivered at Wash
ington within several weeks.
The significance of the baptism of Christ
in the River Jordan, and the fact that the
new font will have bed Of the same stones
that line the river, will serve to hallow
all religious ceremonies at the cathedral.
The stones are being sent by a dragoman
with whom Bishop Satterlee made a trip
through the Holy Land some years ago.
They were brought from Jericho to Joppa
by caravan. They suffered many delays on
account of the heavy floods. 1t was in
recent letter from the dragoman that Bish-
op Satterlee was made aware of their ship
ment from Joppa, or Jaffa, as the seaport
is now called.
