A Pastoral Call Upon Lincoln.

William E. Curtis tells a story of
clergyman of little Central New York
village, who, upon being introduced to
President Lincoln during the dark days
of the Civil War. was asked: What can
I do for your" II have not come to ask
any favors of you, Mr.. President" the
latter replied; 81 have only come to say
that the loyal people of the North are
sustaining you, and will continue to do
so. We are giving you all that we have
the lives of our sons as well as our
confidence and our prayers. You must
know that no pious father or mother
ever kneels in prayer these days with
out asking God to give you strength
and wisdom" The tears filled Lincoln's
ewes as he thanked his visitor, and said:
"But for those prayers l should have
faltered and perhaps failed long ago.
Tell every father and mother you know
to keep on praying and l will keep on
fighting. for am sure that God Is on
our side AS the clergyman started to
leave the room, Lincoln held him by the
hand and said: II suppose may con-

replied the clergyman. "Out In our
country continued Lincoln, when a
parson made pastoral call 1t was al

before a settee, and the clergyman of

mighty Power that ever fell from his
lips. As they erose Lincoln grasped his

Rock Gardens

A rockery Is attractive If well made
and not out of place. 1t should be
made only in locations where nat
ural heap of rocks covered with how-
ers and vines would not seem unex-
pected or out Of tune. with surround
Ings. A sunken rockery is the most
attractive. but the hillock shape Is less
costly. If convenien, build on shady
southeast slope. Dig below frost line
and use the earth removed as SIDE MI

ed and firmly wedged before filling

Missionary Ridge.

Stretching for miles along the east
ern border Of the city, picturesque and
pleasing to view, Is Missionary Ridge.
How we'll that name is known from
the hemlocks Of Maine to the flowers
of Florida, and yet how different from
it's name are the associates one gives
1t when it is pronounced. In history
it Is recorded as being the scene Of one
Of the fiercest conflicts Of the civil
war, but to the people who know the
origin of the name it Is a monument
to the memory of band of devoted.
self-sacrificing Christian men, who
Drawing the hardships Of emigration,
not for the love of gain, but to help
their fellow-men, built the Brainard
mission on the picturesque heights
known by the name of Missionary
Ridge.
1t was in 1917 that the Rev. Cyrus
Kingsbury, AinSworth F. Blunt and
the Rev. John Vail first viewed the
site of their mission. They were sent
here by the American board Of COM
mossioners for foreign missions, and
the same board had provided for the
erection of a mission, including school
buildings and home for the mission
aries. But the contractors failed in
their contract, and the missionaries
were left without money and without
even a shelter. But by energetic eff
forts they created mission school,
and built a milf on the banks of Chick
amauga creek. The mill race, nearly
mile long, Is still visible. The mill
was purchased by Phflamon Bird In
1853. He tore down the small struc
ture and built. what is now known as
Birds mill.
On May 81, 1910. the president of the
United States, james Monroe, APP
peared at the door of the mission I'M
announced He was accompanied by
General Gaines. Although surprised
by his visit, the missionaries were
ready to receive him, and he compli-
mented them on their work and In
glowing terms praised the beautiful!
location Of the mission. Tho Brainard
mission was used until the Indians
left 1t did an immense amount Of
good, and at one time there were more
than 500 Indian children being taught
beneath it's roof. The Lords prayer
was observed for the last time on
August 10, 1888.
In the old mission cemetery, east Of
the ridge, overgrown with weeds and
forgotten by almost everybody. Is a
little monument on which are the fol-
lowing words:
Here lies the remains Of Samuel
Worcester, D. D., pastor Of the Taber-

The most popular substitute for but

eWight for weight, butter costs less
than the fat, but then the latter seems
to be far more economical. A pound or
excellent butter can be had In Berlin
for about 80 cents. Goose fat. on the

A SCAR FACED MAN
He May Not Be the Murderer of
 Charles Goddard.

Sheriff Roberts of Yavapai county came in yesterday morning with Casi- miro Rodelas, who is wanted at Pres colt for the shooting of |; Mexican there more than q month ago, but he is more particularly wanted as the sEs- pected scar-faced murderer of Charles Goddard. Ii was thought that if he was the man he would be identified OF his arrival but the man who was expected to do the identifying vas not sure. He had been with the murderers Of Goddard and Cooke all the after CT seen them before but he was sure that he would know them if he ever saw them again. All that he would say was that Rodelas might or might not be the man with the scared face.
 r. F. Goddard and Milton TurnbIill, tl.e survivors of the tragedy at God dard's station also saw .tode'as but they could not say that they recognized him. They had seen the murde"e-s only for an instant on that fatal night. They entered the station, asked for supper and almost immediately began sh0 oting. Within less than half q minute the lights went out lnd the witnesses saw nothing more of he nlurdeTers than their outlines in the darkness as they prowled about the station for two or three hours evident ly with the intention of completing the butchery.

Mesa. Ariz., February 2O.-Among the deeds recorded yesterday were enc from George T. Wilson to Wallace A Mcdonald to south half of lots and z block 21, Mesa and another from MT. Mcdonald to the same ground in ia vor of the Phoenix and Eastern rail- road. These deeds convey to the rail road company the site of the passen- ger depot of the new road. The loca- tion is probably the most satisfactory
 so far as the general public is con- cerned that could have been selected It is convenient to the business part of town and the construction of the depct will not infringe on the right of any resident of the city. We un- derstand the company will erect q handsome edifice that will be credit to the town and tend to increase rather than decrease the value of the property in the immediate vicinity.
