years ago when the yellow fever plague was raging in Memphis, Tenn. a rough looking man applied to the city relief committee and said. T wish to nurse" It was at a time when most people who could were fleeing from the stricken and desolated homes The death carts seem ed to be going everywhere. At first the physician declined the rough mans ser vices. but as he could get no one else to do the work this man was sent to one of ,ne most filthy and dangerous wards of the city. Wherever ne went he was a messenger of love. He would not tell his name; he said simply. Gall lne John" Time passed on, and after awhile. John, whose name was now fa- nous through the city, sickened and died. While his body was being pre- pared for an unmarked grave, sudden " upon his arm, was found a livid mark which proved that John was an ex-con- vict. John had been one of the most dangerous criminals of all the south. Once he was murderer but now. through the blood of Jesus, he became a minister ing angel. Once he was horrible in his depraved malformation. Now he was made beautiful by bringing his life in symmetrical touch with Jesus life.
 My friends. will you not let Christ fill you with his spiritual beauty? VIII you not only in the future be spiritually beau tiful, but beautiful now in your present life? Will you not be transformed as was John. the redeemed nurse, laboring for his master in plague stricken Mem nhis2

DAVIS THE BRAKEMAN.
comrade Tells How Vlce-PresIdentlaI
 Candidates Hustled.

Wheeling Cw va.) correspondent N. Y.
 Dvening Sun.
 Adam Medley, who for fifty years ran an engine on the Baltimore and Ohio rail- oad, says Henry c. Davis, the democrat ic vice presidential candidate, was as big a railroad man as he Is politician and financier. He says he ought to know for he ran the engine and MT. Davis had charge of the train as conductor for a number of years on the main line Of tie Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
 Medley, who has long since been retired and placed on a salary, could hardly con tain himself when he heard that his for fner companion had been named for so distinguished an office.
 y we ran from Baltimore to Wheeling in those days" said Medley. and Davis was on hand when the clock struck the hour. and I can tell you that every min ute of the time after that he was keenly alive to the interests of the company. He was pretty well up in the railroad world when I met him. He had been braking and was just then getting his eyes open so to speak He began to take an interest in the vacant land along the line and frequently spoke of the rich mining prospects offered by the various inviting tracts of coal property in the mountainous districts
 Shortly after Davis and I rounded out a pretty good spell of railroading he was called to the agency of the company at Piedmont. can tell you that was a pretty big thing in those days, about as big as a district superintendency is now. He was the big man from that on, but no matter how big he got from a railroad point of vfow, no matter how his author

The Voice In the Audience.

Charles Emory Smith was scheduled to address a political gathering assembled in Philadelphia. In the audience the chair man noticed politician of some prom thence from a neighboring state Believ- ing that the cause of Pennsylvania poll tics could be advanced this gentleman was invited by the chairman to make a speech.
 T wish to express my thoughts to you on this subject in a few words" began the orator. At the end of 45 minutes the few thoughts had found expression to the disgust of all present MT. Smith appeared on the stage and In polite words declared that he would refrain from imposing on the patient audience with speech as the hour was late.
 This determine ton on the part of MT. Smith so angered an admirer who was disappointed in not hearing the expected cration that he shouted:
 MT. Chairman, hereafter if any old ,duffer wants to express a few thoughts tell him we prefer to have them sent in by mail.''

his poems, and Longfellow used in his poems, and Whittier and Holmes and Lowell and Bay ard Taylor used In their poems, were for the most part only the simple words we use in everyday life by our own firesides The beauty of these poets words are entirely. due to their juxtaposition with their surrounding words The words which express our thoughts, our passions our emotions may not be beautiful in themselves, but if they are brought into rhythm with CaDd's words they do not only become poetry but they become beautiful, for then our thoughts as words are in symmetry with Gods thoughts.
 But perhaps we have fingered already too long among the artists and the mu- ricians and the sculptors and the archi- tects and the poets to find mans spirit ual beauty by being in symmetry with Gods thoughts. Perhaps after all We can clinch the truth of our text best by short running comment upon a few of the verses which precede the words He hath made verything beautiful in It's time." God says that man is beauti- ful when he is born. Oh, yes. That means when man is born for Christ. But is man beautiful when he is born for sin Come with me, and I will show you Robe spierre geefully sharpening the ax of his guillotine. I will show you an Indian oCAhOh JhoA tOi ldti tOrtuflHk d FlCllin at the stake whose scalp will son be hanging at the warriors belt. will show you rSen who for the price of drink are ready to sell their sons and daughters into a life of crime. Can you see any beauty In the birth Of a demon fac Frankenstein2
 There is time to die'' which Is beau tiful Death if it comes in Gods way Is beautiful, for then a dying saint knows that death Is not an annihilation. but coronation. irradiation and eternal tri- umph. Like old Senator Foote. when dy- ing he can look at the rapturous glories ahead and cry: Beautiful! Beautiful Beautifulf But was the death of Nero beautiful? Was the death of Cleopatra beautiful? Was the death of Thomas Paine beautiful-one moment in prayer the next in blaspheming God. until his rela- tions in horror placed their fingers in their ears and ran from his bowling blaspheming agonies?

"Oh, preacher, we are making this beau tiful cathedral of St. John the Divine out of such materials as these. All these rocks and steel beams and tree trunks, a multitude of different elements, shan blend together in beautiful architectural unity" Then l turn to the architects and say: "Oh, designers, if you can make wonder stone beautiful by plac- ing 1t in symmetrical harmony with other stones, cannot my Lord and God make redeemed man beautiful when he becomes part of the heavenly temple by union with Jesus Christ? For I saw no temple therein for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. As the apostle says, 'Ye also as living stones are built up spiritual house. Is the enc achievement from earthly stand point any more wonderful than the seo- ond achievement from a heavenly stand point?" Yes, l see today by the beauti- full In architecture, analogies that show that God has made and God is now mak- ing and will continue to make redeemed man beautiful in his time.
 Let us loiter for a little while in the poets corner" of Westminster abbey. As we listen the sweet bards of the Eng fish language seem to lift their heads from their pillows of dust and begin to sing, and we find mans spiritual beau ty in the analogies of poetry as well as in painting and music and sculpture and ar chitecture For as painting Is rhythm in color and music Is rhythm in sound and sculpture and architecture are rhythm In stone. so poetry is rhythm in words Aye, poetry is more than mere rhythm An English writer once well said, Poet ry in the flower garden of human lan- guage is the blossom and the fragrance of all human knowledge, human thoughts human passions and emotions" It Is mans most transcendent hopes and am- bitions. with the highest peak of the Mount of Ascension for foot-stool or if tt Is mans wall of eternal dispair when,' as the results of his sins, he Is heading towards Dante's Inferno" or he Is compelled to join in the. means of a Milton's Paradise Lost
 Beauty of Words.
 But though poetry is rhythm in words yet words themselves, as individuals, are not poetry. Many years ago in the old village of Ayr, nigh unto the banks of the Bonnie Doon.' I heard an old Scotchman recite John Anderson. My Jo, John.'' and other poems of the great lyric poet until the tears rained down his cheeks, and I thought those poems were the sweetest words ever composed by man. But the words Burns used in his poems. and William Shakespeare used in

c"N, o11. o - nc mali steamer Dora arrived in the a! tcrnoon of Oct. 1st, and left the same evening for Uvak bay. Shc brought considerable amount of freight for our local saloon and a,, inconsiderable los of merchandise for our stores.
 While the steamer was discharr- ing freight, Miss H. E. Bruce. our popular teacher, accompanied by some of her pupils, made visit aboard, where she was met and entertained courteously by her ac- 9uaintances, the genial Captain Morris and his gallant officers and crew.
 With growing population and activities displayed in the line of mining, our stores, for lack of goods. are often unable to meet the de- mands of customers; hence an ac- tive man, understanding his bus:- ness, with sufficient capital at h S disposal; observing economy and charging reasonably, would do fairly well by locating general mercantile establishment here.

The schooner, after landing passengers destined for this place, will take supplies from here and proceed with the above named gentlemen to the Malina bay mines, where Mir. Wick will disembarA and have supplies landed. The remaining gentlemen will continue the voy- age as far as Shugak island, where an examination will be made by Mir.
