what had happened, the governor, de
Wire, and the rest, blinded, dazed, and
choking, found themselves swept out
Of the chateau to the terrace in front
OF it overlooking the river. From the
tall staff above Them floated the white
flag Of France. There was an excited
group Of men around II. Two or three
eager hands clutcbed at the halliards.
Slowly, as If with reluctance. the proud
banner came dropping down to the
earth.
De Wire, Rouyigny, Joannes, Fled
mont and two or three others with
drawn swords ran into the midst Of
the mob, driving back the townspeo-
pie and the officers. With eager hands
they strove to hoist the flag, but the
haljiards had been cut and they could
only lift it in their hands little space
above the sodden ground. AS they
realized the effort, their antagonists
swept down upon them again. The
governors spirit was unabated, but
his resolution at this gave way. He
snccumbed 10 the inevitable.

PAST AND PRESENT
CHURCH MEMBERSHIP

From the New York World:
In 1900 only per cent az. the total
population of the United alStes were
church members, whereas Today the
ratio is IS per cent, the members in
creasing from 1884, 600 to 29, 100000. Not
only. has there been this great gain in
numbers, but there has also been a
great increase in activity, as indicated
by the rise of foreign missions, the
modern Sunday school, young peoples
societies, brotherhoods, Young Mems
Christian associations and kindred
movements
Investigations show, however, that
the large majority of young men, or
9,o59,ooo out of II. 25oooo. are outside of
church membership. Even after al
lowing large margin for those who
are not members but attend religious
services, at least occasionally, it is safe
to say that fully one-half are wholly
outside of church fellowship or direct
influence.
1t may be a comfort to know that
this is no new problem. Professor
WILCOX, In his book. THE Pastor and
His Flock" describes conditions a CEN
fury ago as follows: There were no
young Christians in any considera Bile
numbers. When young man Joined
the church of DR.. Lyman Beecher in
L1tchf1eld, Conn.,, early in the century,
so strange an event astonished all the

JEFF DAVIS'S MANSION

From the New Orleans Picayune:
There is an indefinable opposition to
the state of Mississippi accepting
Beauvoir which is manifesting itself
not in what is being done by the
members of the legislature, but by what
they are not doing The Picayune cor
respondent has endeavored to get at
the bottom of the opposition, which
is not so much expressed as it is i'm
piled. The trouble seems to be that the
members are opposed to the deed that
the sons Of veterans have received from
Miss Davis. The deed provides that
when the property is no longer
needed for soldiers home it shall be
used by the state for some charitable
or benevolent purpose The. members
90 not seen: to like this provision in the
deed. There is little doubt that some
influence has been at work which is
not favorable to the acceptance Of the
property. The Confederate Sons of
Veterans who have been approa ched
or the subject do not think that this
sentiment is strong enough to win in
the legislature, and they are of the
opinion that the home will be accepted
and that provision will be made for its
maintenance. The confederate veter-
ans are understood to be coming to the
assistance of the sons, and are throw
ing their Influence in favor OF the ac-
ceptance of the home.

WHY ROOSEVELT SMILES

A lady of the official circles in
Washington claims she has made a dis
covery as to the origin of one of the
presidents best known traits It is the
habit of keeping a smile on his face on
all occasions. IF you ever saw the
president when he was forced to Danish
a s1nile," this lady confided to friend
the other day, you would understand
why it is he has acquired the habit Of
wearing it on all possible occasions. I
never saw him without it until the other
day at Mrs. Hoar's funeral, and | give
you my word don't want to see him
without it again. No one would call his
face handsome or attractive even, when
he looks his best and smiles his genial
est. But when his face is in absolute
repose and not only serious but solemn
WELL it's enough to startle a timid
person. It's the most solemn human
countenance you ever saw. He probably
found that out long ago. and that's
why he wears the smile that doesen't
come off. He is entitled to wear it,
