PICKED HIS TEXT.
James Tillrnan Has No Present In

Augusta, Ca, October a7.-James
H. Tillman will not enter the minis

did take such a step he has his text.
Speaking Of the report that he in

Il am amazed that so serious
matter, for the sole purpose of
newspaper sensation, has been tele-
graphed all over the country. Surely
I might be permitted to attend to my
own affairs. Since my return to
Edgefeld I have diligently applied
myself to the practice Of my profes-
sion and the court calendars will
show that it is now larger than ever.

frankly confess that I am not so good

the worst. Had I the remotest idea
Of entering the ministry, to my mind
the loftiest vocation in life, it would

gospel according to St. Matthew.

RODJESVENSKY'S REPORT.
Denies Firing on Trawlers-Thought
He Saw Japanese Torpedo
Boats.

London, October 27.-Admiral
Rodjesvensky's report on the firing
on the game-cock fleet in the North
sea, has been received by Count Ben
kerdorff, the Russian ambassador,
and handed to the foreign British
secretary, Lord Lansdowne.
The admiral states that he never
had any intention of firing against
the trawlers. If stray shot hit
any one of them he says it was en-
tirely accidental. He says the traw-
1ers were early noticed by the Russian
feet as it passed the Bogger bank,
and among the trawlers the Russian
officers observed two steamers NOV
ing at high speed which looked exact
1y like torpedo boats. Rodjesvensky
concluded that. they were torpedo
boats and says that it is his impress
sion that the squadron fred only
against these two ships. One of these
foreign torpedo boats disappeared di-
rectly after the firing was ended.
The other waited until the morning,
waiting for repairs to be made in
its companion.
The admiral denies that Russian
warship was left behind for six hours
and never lowered a boat for the
help of the fishermen who were in
jured.
He says the Russian officers were
totally innocent of any intent to
strike the trawlers with the shots.
On behalf of himself and his Off
GERS and his men he says that he sim
cerely regrets that any of the traw-
1ers suffered.

Why Study the Bible.

The Y. NJ. c. A. has asked a num-
Der of prominent Missourians, "WhY
Study the BibleP" Or. E. A. Allen,
Professor Of English In the University
of Missouri, viewing the question trem
a literary STANDPOINT, gives this inter-
esting answer:
1.-The English Bible is an English
classic, and no one can make any pre-
tension to literary culture who IS not
we'll versed In this noblest specimen Of
English prose. No literature Of
modern times has been so enriched and
ennobled by the direct influence of the
Bible as the literature of the English
speaking people. II it is necessary to
learn classical mythology in order to
understand the many neurological al
lusIons woven into English literature
for a greater reason one must need be
fam liar with the English Bible to
appreciate fully the thought and ex-
preston of many of the finest passages
OF our great writer's. Some of the
greatest masters Of literary prose,
Macaulay, Ruikin, Newman, Webster,
to name only q few, have left Oh record
their indebtedness to the English of the
Bible for the best part OF their taste in
literature, aud surely no one, to quote
Macaulay from money, can set up to
be a critic of English who has not the

Helen Infringement
--Rings--

BY STANDARD JOHNSON

T HE second day out from Southamp-
ton Miss Helen Baker decided that
ocean travel was not so bad after all.
She sat placidly in her steamer chair
and watched with considerable interest
the rest of the passengers as they took
their morning walk or stood about in
groups. Until now her sole acquaint-
ances had been the ships doctor and
the room stewardess.
There was heavy first cabin list
and the decks were crowded. The
greater part were Americans homeward
bound, but there were a few who were
nndeniably foreign in appearance. One
of these Helen decided must be count
at the very least. He was tall and slen-
der, with a decidedly military air,
which was accentuated by the immense
mustachios as black as the neatly
fitting frock coat he affected Helen
had never met count and she watched
him intently as he passed among the
crowd on the deck, with a pleasant
word and smile for every one.
Her interest was not lost upon the
count. Presently he dropped into the
chair beside her with a remark about
the weather. Now Helen had been eau
toned by her aunt not to make the
acquaintance of strange men on the

And, later in the Philippines, each sol

ladies will whisper.
Just where Miss Gould's benefactions
have taken her no one knows. She loves
to present large and valuable articles to
the government and, during the Spanish
war she attempted to give a warship.
And the government has, in all possible
cases, accepted these gifts, declining
certain ones when it was unconstitu-
tional to accept.

Is Helen Gould pretty or is she not?
This is question which is often
asked. In reply it can be said that Helen
Gould has very sweet face. tits good,
pleasant face, rather serious but very
nice. She is good looking distinctly and
might be called pretty. Her dress, while
costly, is rather plain, though she wears
the finest of gowns.
