THREW UP HIS HAT.

The Story Of Cockrell's Election to
the United States Senate.
The truthful story is told in Missouri
that the throwing Of q broad brimmed
hat to the ceiling Of the hall Of the
house Of representatives in the capitol
at Jefferson City made Francis Marion
Cockrell a member Of the United States
senate. The state had been stirred by
q contest for the Democratic nomina-
ton for the governorship. The lines
between supporters Of opposing candi-
dates were sharply drawn. In a state
convention numbering a thousand dele
gates Charles II. Hardin had won by
the narrow, majority Of pueshalf Of one
vote. So close was the result and SO
bitter the feeling that the Democratic
leaders feared irreconcilable division in
the party ranks. The result, however,
had scarcely been announced from the
secretary's desk when the tall figure Of
the defeated candidate, General Cock
rell,. was Ger coming to the platform.
A moment, more. q the hush O -efpec-
fancy fell upon the crowded hall, Cock
rell's voice rang out. "N0 man. said
he, twill more loyalty support the NOM
inee Of the convention than myself. No
man will throw his hat higher for
Charley Hardin than will l." And
away to the ceiling went the broad
brimmed Cockrell hat. The conven-
ton, frantic with enthusiasm, heard
not another word. But the following
spring General Cockrell became United
States senator by the unanimous vote
Of the Democrats of Missouri. For
five successive terms after March 4,
1875, with never a Democratic vote
against him. he was elected to the sena-
torship, the first political Office he ever
held. No senator from his state sur
passed his record in length Of years.
and none equaled It, save Thomas
Hart BENTON. the great Missourian.-

Hats which have been de rfgeur for
all formal afternoon affairs for three or
four seasons and which have been worn
more and more at evening functions this
winter are now, it is said, to be worn
at dinners and dances, too. No doubt
this is a result Of the discovery, which
the growing popularity Of restaurant
dinners has led TO, that a lovely toilet
is all the more effective when topped
with a becoming hat Then, too. the
flower hats worn in certain cotillion
figures. have proven especially becom-
ing ana truly there is nothing more chic
than q picture hat with a decollete
gown. The wonder is, they haven't
worn them outside the photograph gal
leries before In England. of course. the
fashion Will lack the novelty 1t has here,
for in England women attend the opera
and play in full evening dress and have
dinner before or supper afterwards at
the fashionable restaurants and often
wear hats with their lOw-necked gowns.
Miss Alice Roosevelt is credited with
being one of the first to take up the
new fad. At q dance in Boston a few
weeks ago she wore a flower hat with a
pcmpadOur silk gown.
OF course the fashion may prove to
be merely the fancy OF passing season.
The summer time measures the brief
span of many fad and this may be
one of them Certainly the semi-in-
formality of most of the summer dances
would be most likely to favor such an
innovation. But if the fad is generally

and temper. He likes to move slowly,

1t is the restfulness of the fat man
which makes a girl tolerably certain
that if she marries him she will make
him cOntented and be cOntented her
self. She feels that he will be likely
to give her that liberty and freedom
that married women delight in. She
feels that in marrying him she will not
be giving her independence with his
keeping. She knows that If she goes

Best of all, she will know that as
long as she studies her husband in re-
spect to his likes and dislikes. and
does not poster him to be constantly
on the move, her career will be~a
happy one
There is, of course one drawback to
the fat husband. If goaded too far
his usual good nature will have re-
lapse-and then your fat husband be-

he will go around the house as sulky

The very mention of the idea that

Louisville seems a bit preposterous to

CONDITIONS OF DIVINE PEACE.

LIES REWARDS.
Next to the joy of work lies the con-
sideratioD of the rewards of work. No
man wants to do a good piece of work
and be needless of the results to him
or to others of his work. Every man
is born unto some task: there is no
escaping it. There are but two great
reWards-one the effect of our life on
US, the sum total of it's results in soul
and body, to be what we are, to know
ourselves as such and find no turn by
which we can escape. This is the
great reward; it is also the dreadful
punishment. The other is to know
what we have done to others; to reck-
on up our influence on the world. This
is the most blessed of all rewards. 1t

George Eliot's, IT may join the choir
invisible of lives made better by my
living. Rev. DR.. J. F. Loba, Congre-
gationalist, Evanston, Ill
THE BIBLE IN THEOLOGY.
This book brings us into the same
spirit whereof Isaiah and Jesus and
Paul were partakerS and lifts us far
above sordid materialism and belit-
Ting selfishness. Only in this zone
can theology thrive. A man with no
sense of beauty may construct a sys-
tenn of aethetics, one who never
laughs may produce a philosophy Of
been thrilled by an ideal, who in
hours of gloom has never heard the
sound of silver wings slow beating
through the hush of night and who
in moments of trial has never seen
s'how Hife's rugged mountain side is
white with many an angel tiAt," has
no power to bring theology to birth.
What makes religion possible and
theology necessary but the fact that
orr ideals come to us clothed with
more than mortal majesty and born
Enthusiastically mot of blood nor OF the
will of the flesh but of God ?" And as
no science of beauty is satisfactory
which does not make those who mas
ter it more keenly alive to beauty and
no ethical system can be valid which
does not strengthen the moral sense,
SO no system of theology can be true
which does not grow best In the ell
mate of ideals and further their
growth. A body of divinity without
an inspiring soul is worthless and will
become an offense; hence any book
which feeds and freshens the religious
life is of immense value to the student
of theology. Beyond the corrobora-
ton of the spirit and the communica-
ton of facts and principles is this
service to theology and the Bible as
a book of the sDirit-Prof. William

vinity school, Cambridge, Mass.
