There were many strong, able men,
however, among those old fellows;
men who did much in framing the
character of the young soldiers with
whom they came in contact. Among
the chaplains of this stamp the PRO
lessor of Ethics" at the national mill
tary academy at West Point in the
torties, occupies prominent place.
The old gentleman some time early
in his incumbency at the academy,
lrifted into a paper contention with
the officer in command concerning
the quarters that had been assigned
for his occupancy. He eventually
carried the matter to the war depart
nent, and asked for a ruling by the
secretary, at that time Jefferson Da.
eis, subsequently president of the
southern confederacy. The secretary,

and the case seemed closed beyond
further appeal. Not long thereafter
Mr.. Davis visited West Point on

But the chaplain was persistent.

"Sir!" exclaimed the secretary at
last, much angered by the chaplaina
harsh words, your language j.

cloth, sir, l would be tempted to

"Oh,. mon!" cried the old chaplain,
falling in his excitement into his ma
tive dialect, "oh, mon," he repeated,
earnestly, "we won't let that inter
fere," and, sniting his actions to his
words, he hastily threw off his coat.
A personal physical encounter be-
tween the Hon. Secretary of War
and the chaplain seemed for mo-
lment inevitable, but somehow better
counsel prevailed. The secretary
turned his back upon the churchman

The small amount of interest that is
now taken in the silver question is
shown bv the fact that the steps which
Mexico is taking toward the adoption
of the gold standard excite bat little
comment. A monetary commission
was recently appointed by the Next
can government to suggest plans for
reforming the currency and there is
but little doubt that the commission
will recommend the abandonment OF
the silver standard. Mexico for long
time has been the leading country re-
tanning silver as its standard Of value
and its change to the yellow metal
will be an event of unusual impor-
tance.

The annual picnic of st. John $
Lutheran Sunday school, which was

the teachers, helped make things
pleasant for the children
The crowd went down chiefly on the
early morning train, and passed the
day in thoroughly enjoyable manner
IN the usual outdoor amusements.
The weather was good throughout the
day, and the crowd returned to town
in the evening tired but happy over
the day in the park.

In the selection of Cardinal Sarto,
the venerable and kindly patriarch Of
Venice. as the successor OF the late
Pope Leo XIII. on the throne Of St.
Peter, the conclave of cardinals, which
had been in session for four days, rose
to the level of the opportunity and
chose man who, like Leo, recognizes
that many things have taken place in
the past half or two-thirds of a century
which are irreVocable. that mosG of
the sentiments which have been made
will stay settled. The new Pope is
an Italian. but Italy is something more
than the geographical EXPRESSION which
it was in Metternich's day, and is
again part of the social forces of the
universe. There are many men in the
college of cardinals who are in SYM
pathy with the progressive influences
Of the time, who know that revolu-
tions never so backward, who accept
facts, and vino are capable of PLAYING
a potent part IN the spiritual evolution
of society, and it was this force which
encompassed the election of the new
Pontiff.
The whole Catholic world is to be
congratulated upon the election of
Cardinal Sarto, for it is doubtful if
the choice could have fallen upon one
more worthy to wear the tiara.

on Thursday. The train was scheduled TO pass

Miss Jessup who had been wired that Mr.
Johnston was to go through her homo town,

Of getting aboard the special, but finally some
OF the party induced her to board the car and
sit down until starting time. The traiR started
without the usual announcement being made.
In the meantime Mr.. Johnston and Miss
Jessup were left to themselves, and before
many minutes had passed the friends of the

jim EATON'S DREAM

Erie's popular and efficient pOstmas-
ter Jim Baton, In addition to his Off
cial labors and recently increased
family cares, always takes an active
interest in the questions of the day,
more especially those questions that
Immediately affect Erie's future sal
walton. Now, the burning question
with a citizen Of Erie Is always the
county seat issue. Like cayuse
that has been ridden by a from

so the Erie boys see an effort to dis
posess them Of the county seat behind
every forward stride that is made by
auy portion Of the county.
Jim had been more or less worried
for few days over the new and per-
picking things that would arise In
connection with his new duties, and
after office hours he had met with the
committee of safety, and they had
worried over the perverseness Of the
Chanute fellows and their failure to
fall In line just as expected. The Wis
iting committee had reported that
those Chanute lawyers who had been
taking taffy for effect, had all lined
ND and signed a remOnstrance direct

ist polititian, and the Cuanuue post
master. Jim naturally went home
that night, his brain in a whirl, and
many gloomy fOrebodings in,his mind.
He reached home, and scarcely notic-
ing his future great, or smiling upon
his wife, he rolled into bed, and after
time fell into troubled sleep. Jim
had many vague and uncertain visions
fitting through his mind, nothing
tangible or certain, but all of a dis
quietiBg nature.
He rolled uneasily in bed and his
sympathetic wife as she sat rocking
the cradle with her foot while her
busy fingers darned the holes in the
socks Jim had laid off, sighed and said
to herself, Poor Jim; he Is working
himself to death in that old post
office" Finally his thoughts began
TO take shape and he beheld, arising
from the southeast, a dark and omi-
nous cloud that rose higher and high
er and rolled and tossed It's vapory
folds in very threatening manner as
1t approached the city. Jim trembl-
ed and shivered With fright and the
cold sweat like crystal beads stood
out on his forehead.
Suddenly the cloud seemed to en-
velop the city in total darkness. He
heard tremendous roar and a fear
full crash and the cloud was gone. His
first glance was towards the court
house. and there he only beheld pile
of stone and distorted timpers where
once the building had stood. He
glanced around and found no other
damage had been done. He fell in
with the other boys and they walked
over to the site of the old court house
and mingled their tears 10 the COM
mon sorrow. But soon he beheld
strings OF farm wagons coming In
from every direction and noticed the
streets were full of people on foot.
The wagons seemed to be loaded and
the footmen seemed to stagger under
their burdens.
They all headed for the new court
house site which he noticed had been
cleared of buildings. Each approach
ed the spot aud threw down his bur-
den which Jim discovered was money
and he was told the money was to
build a new court house. The streams
OF people continued and the pile of
money grew till 1t was as large as q

pie came aud all seemed glad to throw
in their wealth. He noticed "Brick"
