This indurated the strong southern sentiments born in his son. The latter naturally became member of the Sons of Veterans, though taking no active part in their proceed ings Yet, in 1900 he was waited on by delegations from that body and strongly urged to accept the command-in-chief, at their coming reunion at Memphis He promptly and consistently declined, saying that his position in the church seemed to forbid But again at the Dallas reunion two years later, he was still more earn estly urged to accept. To the visiting delegations he consented, but with two provisos that the selection should be unanimous, with no other name in view at all, and on condition that the order of sons should absolutely eliminate all mill itary features and pretensions. As the gold lace and sonorous titles of the lat ter were mainly what its members looked to, the body chose another chief.

race upon earth could have fought such a war and fought it with such splendid results of personal heroism and line sol diership. The war proved that America was unconquerable to all the nations of the earth. And the later war proved as indisputably that we are still one people, with common instincts and national char acteristics, that knew no section and no disloyalty when common danger threat ened common interests and common hon. or History presents no such spectacle as these two sections-lately engaged in bat tie to the Notwithstanding elbows and marching to the music of the Union, like brothers defending the home-hearths Of their sires!'
 Thomas Frank Gailor was born at Jack son, Tenn, on September 16, 1851. When completing his school education he was seized by yellow fever, and for radical change of climate was sent to Racine college, Wisconsin. There he graduated at the head of his class, and received his B. A. degree at 19 years of age. Thence he went to the General Theological semi nary, New York, for two years, taking his B. D. degree in 1878.
 His later degrees are S. T. D. from Co., lumbia university, New York, in 1S90; D. D. from Trinity college, Hartford, 1892; O. |. New York, in the same year. Two years later the University of the South con- ferred upon him the degree of D. D.
 Immediately after grauation at the Gen. eral seminary in New York, the present bishop had charge of the Pulaski parish for three years There he displayed those exceptional natural gifts of pulpit ora- tory and personal magnetism, which have founded his exceptional advance. When he went to Sewanee in 1882 he quickly became the popular idol, and the ever sought adviser of "his boys" It was perhaps as much this mutual attachment as any sense of duty to his charge, that thrice caused him to refuse use of his name for bshopric. These were at the conventions of Michigan and West Mis- souri, and the see of Georgia, when ten dered him in 1891. Two years later his objections ceased. The clergy and laity of the diocese of Tennessee unanimously elected him bishop coadjutor to Bishop Quintard, with the right of succession. Such home call so made, could not be ignored He resigned the vice-chancel- lorship of the university, and took up his broadened duties. Many years had passed before he succeeded Bishop Quintard in the vice-chancellorship, but scarce five years intervened before the coadjutor be- came bishop of Tennessee.
 Mentally, Bishop Gailor Is vigorous, quick and perceptive. Possibly his con- clusions are reached partly by intuition if not by impulse but they are adhered to logically. He has native sense of humor, relishes any good joke, and is a capital story teller. He is at his best in th2 meetings of that unique "E. I. B. club composed of bishops, clergy and laity be- longing to Sewanee, or visiting there m summer. He is still a golf player, and capital and eager hand at whist. Hu-

A Blessing.

There is a mother, who, having only one child, taught him beautiful blessing as soon as he could lisp the words
 This blessing holds a peculiar charm for this mother above all others, as it was the means of reunting a long lost brother and a devoted sister. These children were reared in poverty, but taught that there were great riches for those who loved the Father and endured suffering and affiiction for His name.
 As this little girl, now grown, and mother was sitting at her table with only bread and water for herself and little ones. the thought arose: How can I call this provision a blessing?" but faith conauering the bitterness. She said the blessing her mother had taught her and her brother years ago. 1t ran: God bless our going out
 Nor less our coming in, and make them
 sure;
 God bless our daily bread, And bless whate'er we do. whate'er en-
 dure.
 In death unto His peace awake us, And heirs of His salvation make us.
 As it was finished with tremulous voice, and tears in eyes, the door of her apart ment opened admitting a gentleman. She arose to greet him, but asking him If he hadn't mistakened his room?'
 He looked long and searchingly into her face and said: Sister, don't you konw me?"
 He then told her of his bitter struggle for bread. how hard he had worked on foreign soils. but had amassed fortune, and on returning to his native city could find no trace of her. Day after day he searched among the tenement houses. but In vain. At last heart sick from dis appointment he heard the words of this familiar blessing through door slightly ajar, and summoning courage entered.
 Thus the brother and sister were re- united in happiness after wears of priva- tion and toll through this little blessing.
 Perhaps there are some lonely hearts in this big world so full of tears they cannot utter: "God bless what e'er we do what Ter endure" but this beautiful blessing may open the flood-gates of tho soul and the softening influence Of tears may restore them to peace and calm and to the riches of a Fathers love.

One of the most popular, and certainly one of the most magnetic pulpit speakers of the house of bishops is Rt. Rev. Thomas Frank Gaior of Tennessee. In the six years he has worn the mitre he has probably been more talked of In various ways, and has preached more sermons in distant states, than fall to the lot of the average diocesan In lifetime. Nor is this because he is the most pol ished of rhetoricians or the most subtle of reasoners. It comes rather from the virile force of the man himself and the constant presence of unshaken faith in his own convictions.
 Of the later he has all necessary cour- age, and exceptional fluency and satsfac- ton in their expression. It is to these traits most largely-and to the influence of a splendid physical vigor and rich resonanfe of voice--that this much-sought Tennesseean owes his wide popularity. It is to them, in sort, that he owes his rapid and distinct promotion within the church proper at an early age; and after refusal of high place while still young. There are numerous flying narratives, more or less

mility of succession does not prevent this churchman from being a good hater of shams or what he holds such. Of course a democrat he is of the Cleveland type. and despises populism and oriental sin. Recently at the E. I. B. club the writer was to lead on that somewhat nebulous theme, The Future of the Democratic Party" The followers to the lead were Bishop Gailor and Prof. Mikell, of the University of Pennsylvania. The former was called away to marry favorfte dea- con. On my asking him what line he should have taken in the debate, he cried:
 Be sure and tell them that fellow Bryan Is a skunk
 He is perhaps hero worshiper, but he has some hand in making his heroes.

good and generally less founded on fact, as to this prelates early work. One of these pictures him-tall. lank and awk- ward youth on a gaunt white mule-riding all unknown into the demesne of the University of the South. on Sewanee mountain. There. the fable tells, he bold ly demanded work-to preach and teach of Vice-C Chancellor Telfair Hodgson, then incumbent; and that he was made immediately professor of theology and chaplain of the university. The truth is that the young assistant to the profess sorate was already degree man of two schools. and had been some while in charge of the parish of Pulaski in his native state. The true story is better than the false-and needlessly dull and stupid-invention The young man rose by the force that was in him; and by an inborn knack of holding to him the friends he makes. It would demand just about eight of the present bishops to tip the beam against a long ton, but he is still vigorous and energetic, as was the thin, muscular athlete of a score of years ago. Then, while chaplain at &c., vance university he was prize on the baseball field, and later was star tennis player. I recall many times, when the chapel bell rang in warning of evening service. the young priest, throwing down his bat racing at top speed to the quaint old chapel, and a few moments later. and with face still flushed and chest not wholly restful walking sedately into the chapel.
 Bishop Gailor Is a native Tennessean and of good old pugnacious Scotch-1rish descent. He is also herital churchman; his mothers pople having adhered to the Church of England for six generations, and his paternal cousin being today roc tor of Galway. His father Colonel Frank M. Gailor was a prominent publicist of that state, and at the outbreak of the civil war, was editing the Memphis Av- alanche. He promptly exchanged the pen for the sword as aide on the staff of

up his mind he is obstinate beyond nov ing, and ,nis was proved by his consecu- tive refusals to seek the bishopric. Still, he is an ardent admirer of personal sol dierly prowess, and despite outspoken southern sentiments, a loyal lover of the Union. His model war hero is General N. B. Forrest, and perhaps the strongest and most inspiring lecture he gives is on that theme, He makes no apology for anything that bold cavalryman did; revels over his dash. successes and his rough humor; but his peroration adds glowing tribute to the nationalism grown from the tombs of such as Forrest
 and of the men who fought him. He says:
 Forrest was not only a typical south r. erner, but a typical American. No other

DR. HERMANN A POPULAR CANDI-
DATE FOB MEMBER.

AS election draws near it become S
more evident that DR.. Hermann
will win by handsome majority.
That he will makea popular and eff
tlcient Member Of Assembly, there
can be no doubt.
The Doctors long residence in
Sullivan county and his extended
practice here have brought him into
nearly all the homes of her people.
by day and by night, through snow
drifts and storms, he has travelled
over the hills and through the val
leys of this country to bring relief
to the suffering and by his cheerful,
genial disposition to infuse good
cheer and strength to all in distress.
He has been the poor man : friend
in trial and adversity and has never
refused to go where help was need
ed. In homes where there was pow
erty as we'll as suffering, the Doe
tors big, kind heart has taken him,
we'll knowing that his ministrations
were never to receive financial re-
muneration. Not content to merely
visit the sufferer and prescribe, he
has furnished the medicine and re-
manned at the bedside until by his
skill and care, dispair has changed
into hope and hope into recovery.
Many are the homes in this county
that will attest the truth of these
assertions and from those homes
to-day go out feelings of gratitude
that only wait to find expression at
the polls.
In the neighborhood of the Doc
tors home political lines are well
nigh obliterated and his old time
friends and neighbors are glad of
the opportunity TO show the appre-
citation they feel for his worth and
the good that he has done among
them by giving him rousing vote.
