could not have been more than
four or five years old when Luther
Rice drove UP to my home in his ia
nous old gig. He was on tour to
the West in behalf Of Columbian col
lege, and some one had directed him
to spend the night at my fathers He
did so, and came in, tired and hungry,
about sunset. He soon explained the
object OF his visit; eai1 ne would have
to start early on the morrow in order
TO meet his next appointment at q
church near characteristics; but that
night came q snowstorm the like Of
which had never been seen in this
region in modern days.
The morning came and Luther Rice
was up bright and early. My father
and mother pleaded viii him not to
think of going out The roads were
well-nigh impossible, owing to the
great heaps OF snow, and the storm
was yet raging and likely to continue
day or two. 1t seemed madness

fierce beating winds and the growing
heaps of snow which made travelling
almost an impossibility. My father
said Brother Rice, you cannot pos
sibly reach your appointment, and in
such weather there would be no one to
hear you preach" But Luther Rice
replied: Il must go-there's no use
to talk about it,
He then asked if he could not get
back to the Charlottesville road with
out going back to Trevilian's, where
| he turned out to come here. Yes,
said my father Going across my
plantation and Mr.. Crawfords a mile
to the Charlottesville road would save
| you three miles, for it is two miles
back to Trevilan's and two miles far
Their up the Charlottesville road,
hence you would save three miles by
going across the fields, but you would
have to pull down two fences" Rice
caught at that and asked: Haven't
you got an oxcart that you would let
me have to break a track in the snow.
and whose driver could pull down and
put up the two fences Of which you
speak?'
That arrangement was finally made,
and the greatest man God ever gave
the Baptists," as Prof w. H. Whitsitt
thinks, and his horse and buggy in
due time reached the main road which
leads from Richmond to Charlottes-
vile.
A few hours later the oXcart return
ed and it's driver reported that no We
hicle had gone along the Charlottes-
vile road, and that there was not SO
much as the track of horses foot in
the great unbroken heaps of snow as
Mr.. Rice resumed his journey. Then
it was that my father became SO
alarmed, thinking that Mr.. Rice might
perish in this attempt to fill his en-
gagement to preach and to raise
money for Columbian college, that he
ordered his horse to be saddled and
rode after him.
On reaching the main road he saw
man on horseback and inquired OF
him if he had passed a man in q
buggy Eyes" said he, 81 passed a
man who answers to your description
and he was leading his horse and
breaking a path for him in the snow

The HOSPITAL Ambulance.

correspondent, whose letter is printed
today. calls attention to the reckless driving
of the ambulance of the Emergency Hos
pital through the streets of the city, citing
a certain recent especially dangerous run
of that vehicle across the center of the
city through the most crowded streets. 1t
Is very seriously to be doubted If the needs
of any save the most exceptional cases re-
quire such instant attention at the hospital
as is to be imagined by the furious speed
ing of the ambulance on practically every
run 1t makes. Within II Is always a man
supposedly trained In emergency work,
whose duty it is to give immediate relief to
pain to check bleeding in case of wounds
or injuries and to administer restoratives
or sedatives as the case may demand. The
lessening of the ambulance speed by fifty
per cent would, on the average cali, mean
a difference of perhaps five minutes in each
trip, more or less. according to the distance,
certainly not enough, especially on the re-
turn journey. to add to the doubt Of recov-

1t is to be borne in mind that Gen. Kuro-

very speedily acquire an accumulation in
such circumstances.

Kuropatkin'S Dilemma.

remarkable change has come over the
spirit OF the Russian officials at St Peters
burg. They are coming not only to real
lie the full truth of the situation in Man
churia, but to show a disposition to ac-
knowledge 1t. Witness the following state
ment of Col. Novitsky of the general staff,
dispatched from the Russian capital today:
THE result of the loss of Kai-Chou will
probably be the evacuation of Niuchwang
Gen. kuropatkin'S position is more diff
cult than that which confronted Lord Rob
erts In South Africa. 1t is as if Lord Rob-
ertS received his supplies by rail via Con-
stautiuople. Cairo and Central Africa 1t

patkin will have enough supplies and men

perhaps giving up important positions like
NiuchwanS. which are OF vastly more con
sequence than kai-Chou.
A comparison of the Trans Siberian rail-
road to an imaginary supply line extending
through all Europe, across the Mediter-
ranean and thence by combined rail and
pack train through the heart of Africa Is
far from complimentary to the Russian
strateGists who planned that road as Rus
sia's great reliance in case of war on the
Pacific coast of Asia. Experience has
proved that it is far from a reliance but
rather source of trouble. 1t has been ut
terly inadequate 10 the Russian needs In
stead of yielding a stream of achievements
at the rate Of 10000 day. as was freely
stated at the outset of the war. it has, If

Convention Disorder.

The wild disorder that at times character
lied the st. Louis convention is a subject
for a serious consideration by party lead
ers on both sides. At Chicago there were
no violent. demoralizing scenes Of confu-
sion, but the great size Of the hall. the poor
acoustic qualities and the presence of a
great throng in the galleries, far outnum-
bering the delegates and alternates. occa-
stoned vexatious delays and lessened the
dignity of the proceedings. With these two
spectacles in view the question has already
arisen whether 1t Is wise to hold the big
party gatherings in great halls in the pres
ence of thousands of spectators. intent upon
wreaking the last possible partisan advan-
tage out of the confusion and lack of dis
cpline.
The reports of the st. Louis convention
show that very few of the words uttered
by the speakers were heard by the dele
gates, far less by the people in the gale
ries. The very process of seeking to pre-
serve order caused deafening disorder.
At times speakers could be heard only
few feet away. Again and again the spec
tacle was presented of men shouting. at
the top of the voice. more or less carefully
prepared sentences bearing directly upon
the business of the convention while the
attention. At Chicago the dimensions of the
meeting place and the preponderance of
spectators put a heavy burden on the speak
ers, whose fine periods were wasted on
of sound.
The business of political convention is
to organize. adopt a platform and then to
nominate candidates. That business can
be done more quickly, more satisfactorily
and less wearingly in a small place of meet
ing capable of seating fifteen hundred or
two thousand people than in a great barn
and with the speakers platform so placed
that at least one-half of the assemblage
under the most favorable conditions, cannot
possibly understand the speeches.
The object of throwing open the conven-
lions to great numbers of spectators is
chiefly to bolster UP fractional interests by
providing volume of lung power in the
galleries. 1t is said that nominations have
occasionally been forced by the mob
that a stampeding spirit has swept the
delegates off their feet and away from the
basis of sound judgment. Such proceed
ings are distinctly counter to the essential
requirement of deliberative government,
whether of countries or parties. If the GAL
leries exert no influence on the convention
they serve no useful function even from the
fractional point of view

Judge Parker and Mr.. Mckinley.

The London Times. in commenting on the
result at st. Louis. says:
1.-The convention which just adjourned at
st Louis has done more than to provide
democratic candidate for the presioehey,
1t has revived a great party ana reVeaieu
a new political force. Untii SatutuaS;
despite the strong support he had received
from the democratic party throughout the
land the personality of Justice Parker was
known with scarcely more deiniteness tnan
that of President Mckinley when he first
came before the country in 1896 The color
lessness of his candidature had made 1t
possible at one time that he would finally
give place to some other man possessing
well-known, strongly marked Characters
ties like those of Cleveland.
This is very English so far as 1t relates
to Mr.. Mckinley He had been in national
politics for twenty years before he was
nominated the first time for President. He
had been regarded of presidential size
for at least ten years before. AS delegate
to the Minneapolis convention four years
before he had put stop to an effort to
nominate him for President. AS the au-
thor of a tariff bill bearing his name ne had
been one of the most widely discussed of
Americans since 1890. So that. as a mat
ter of fact. In 1898 Mr.. Mckinley. with the
possible exception of Thomas B. Reed, was
the best known man in his party. He won
his nomination as we'll because of his tarin
views as because of his wide acquaintance
with the men who at that time shaped the
destinieS of the organization.
Judge Parker, on the other hand, was, as
the Times says a stranger until recently.
His strength entirely negative-Srew
out of the fact that he was unknown. He
was man vouched for by men who were
known. The democratic leaders of reputa-
ton were embarrassed by their records. All
had been engaged in the controversies that
had all but wrecked the party. Cleveland,
Hill. German, Gray. Olney and Bryan were
too well known. The demand was for
man who either by reason of his obscur1ty,
or by his position. had escaped the calamity
that had befallen the men of eminence
Mr.. Hill presented Judge Parker. ana
gave him clean bill of health. Here, he
pointed out. was man of ability and high
personal merit who had been on the bench
during the party's troublous times. but had
kept regular on election days, and could be
trusted. Moreover, he lived in the pivotal
state of New York. and once had carried it.
This was all that was known of Judge Par
ker prior to the St. Louis convention, and
how unlike his case In that respect Is TO
that of Mr.. Mckinley in 1896 even the Lon
don Thunderer may in time discover.

Teach the Boys to Swim.

These are the days when the parents of
small boys feel anxious lest their offspring
may seek deep waters and come to grief.
The youngsters are commanded not to go
swimming. They punished If they are
caught with wet hair. Sometimes the
shrewd mother ties peculiar knots in the
fastenings of shoes and clothes and thus
detects the outdoor bathing enterprise of
the boy Then comes trouble. and the aver
age boy. having once tasted the sweets of a
dive in pool. will only await his chance to
repeat his adventure. When such a dis
position is discovered it Is far better that
the father of SO determined a boy. instead
of Furnishing him. take in hand the lads
natatory adventures and escort him per
sonally to the bathing beach, to superintend
his swimming. The more the youngster Is
whipped for his secret swims the more
shrewdly he will contrive to hide them. And
in his hiding he is likely to seek dangerous
places. where he cannot be easily seen.
His companions are usually boys of his
own age. who cannot help him If he gets
into trouble in the water. He should. of
course, be kept at home If possible from
such places. but when the water call Is
heard in midsummer nothing short of bolts
and bars can keep the boy swimmer from
his plunge. The bathing beach is provided
in large part just to offset this danger. 1t
is not all it should be yet, in point of
equipment and regulations for its use. but
1t is nevertheless excellent institution.
where every condition is as near to safety
possible, and where the danger to the
youngster who goes swimming alone is
duced to a minimum. The boy who IS
taught by his father to swim Is a happier
lad than he who has to sneak away with
other boys and learn in some muddy hole
in the creek some dirty wharf basin.
Every boy should be taught to swim as
soon as he has the strength to maintain
himself in the water. 1t is an invaluable
accomplishment. which at any time may
save life.

After the exhibition the democratic ma

it's effort to bury its past and create a flu
ture, one is safely within reasonable limits
to predict that the country will neither ap-
prove it's ticket nor accept it's botched pro-
fessions of safety and sanity. The pro-
ceedings of the convention inspire no conf
dence in the future conduct of the party
and establish no right to charity for it's
