 I've stood 1t as long as I can; now I'm going to act! Joe Waring has
 been the respected manager of my
 mills for five years. Although he came here a widower with one sickly child, and refused to tell anything of his past. trusted him at once and gave him employment.
 After her first meeting with him, my beautiful, young wife became his most interested friend. I have often seen her with him on the street. but I was fool enough to close my eyes and let their meetings continue. Now. for the last two weeks, have seen them to- gether every afternoon, talking earn estly and looking at each other In a way that He pressed his teeth to- gether until his jaws ached.--'1n Q way that has driven me mad! he con- tinued, his sentence ending lamely as
 he realized that he had been speaking
 aloud.
 He rose hastily, an angry. red Hush
 on his face.
 T am a IOOts no WnlSpeEeu, DlLteE-

 settle with him as the fellow de-
 servesl"
 He walked in his usual calm way, although a volcanic emotion was burn ing in his heart, and when he reached the principal mill. he spoke c5eerfully to those about him. After giving a few minor orders, he went to the large private office of the manager.
 As he closed the door behind him, shutting out the thunderous noise of the machinery a nervous tremor pass ed over him. One quick glance told him that the office was vacant. But there near one of the large windows was Manager Waring's desk, and there on the desk was dainty, white en- velope.
 Ward Judson recognized the envel- ope; he had, three times before. seen an envelope like this one lying on the managers desk. Breathing heavily, he stepped before the desk and gazed at the square. white object, his wife's faultless handwriting seeming to mock him as he looked. Something whis- pered to him that he was lucky: the other three envelopes had been sealed, hut this one was open and the letter inside had evidntly just been read. Here was his chance, and with grim he reached for the en- velope and drew out the scented note.

Daughters of the Confederacy of the Huntsville Chapter of Alabama, have labored for years, have at last accom- plished and erected this grand and gfo- rious monument of enduring granite. which in a few moments will be un- yelled to your eager gaze, to the sacred memory of gallant dead. hoping and be- iieving it will perpetuate thro' com ing generations the fadeIess lustre of their names and the glory of their fame The inscription Is from the heart and pen of a gifted woman of this city whose glowing words in beautiful let tering of stone most eloquently tell the mournfui but martial story.
 We have crowned it with the laurel wreath, emblem of perennial bloom, and have engraved on the broad shaft, the immortal banner of the Southern Con- federacy, that glorious banner which, through four strong years of fiery or- deal we saw flung like a meteor in the sky and heroes such as homes sung fol- lowed it--to dier
 These precious, sacred emblems are consigned to the care and keeping of the gallant Confederate Sentinel whose marble efflgy surmounts and caps the climax of this beautiful shaft--on guard, in death, as he ever was in life.
 Peace to his sacred ashes. and the hallowed ashes of the Confederate dead wherever they may lie. on hill top or in valley. in mausoleum or nameless gravel
 May the halo of Gods blessing ever rest upon each precious sod. even as doth His eternal sunshine. For them the poets Tyre is wreathed. her marble wrought, her music breathed of them, the lisping babe first tells, for them. we ring our birthday bells. for them the evening prayer is said by palace couch and cottage bed"

PROUD OF JACKSON.
Tuscumbian Who Has Made Great Rec.
 ord fin the Navy.

Tuscumbian Who Has Made Great Rec- ord in the Navy. Tuscumbia, Nov. 24-(SPecial. )-Tus- cumbia claims the distinction of hav- ing furnished to the navy of the United States one of its bravest. most heroic and gallant of it's present galaxy of distinguished officers.
 Lieutenant R. H. Jackson, known here as Harry" and as. Harvey" among his old friends, was born three | miles from this city. his father being George M. Jackson. who died in Tus- cumbia many years ago. Harry Jack son entered the Annapolis naval school when boy. going from Tus- cumbia, after passing the examination with great credit over a number of other boys. He Is now lieutenant com mander on the battleship Colorado. the vessel that holds the best record of any of Uncle Sams warriors"
 Lieutenant Commander Jackson was stationed at Annapolis and from there was transferred to the new vessel, the Colorado, his rank being that of Lieu tenant commander. On one trip the Colorado was sent to target practice and at a distance of three miles made record of 9s out of a possible 100 points.
 Lieutenant Commander Jackson has been frequently promoted for gallantry and bravery. His first act of heroism which brought him into general public prominence, was a number of years ago when the fleet to which he was assigned was in Samoan waters, when a terrific storm swept the harbor, de- stroying many vessels. It was neces- sary, in order that the vessels of the United States might escape destruction that the seamen climb into the rigging for some purpose.
 The officer in command called for vol unteers, and young Jackson was the only one to respond. His bravery stim- ulated others, and with Jackson as their leader, the men bravely climbed bodies, by which means the vessel was driven out of danger.
 Admiral Kimberly reported to Con- gress that young Jackson's courage had saved both United States vessels and 6 bill was passed promoting him. This incident occurred during his first cruise after graduating.
 During the Spanish American war Tuscumbia's hero commanded the tor pedo boat Foote and enjoyed the dis tinction of capturing the first prize His vessel was also the first to draw the Spanish fire.
 The Colorado was one of the vessels slated for the cruise with the Penn sylvania and West Virginia on the Presidents trip from Key West recent
 
 iy.
 Alabama has furnished three young naval officers who have particularly distinguished themselves in the navy-- John Hood of Florence. Lauderdale county; Lieatent Commander Jackson of this city and the immortal Rich mond P. Hobson of Merrimac fame The former was in the wreck of the Kearsarge and was also aboard the ill., fated Maine, destroyed In Havana har- bor.
 Tuscumbians feel a pardonable pride and interest in her navy son. Lieuten- ant Commander Jackson and his achievements and successive promo tions are 6 source to them of much pleasure and qualification. It will be remembered that the young officers charming wife is the daughter of Ad- miral Sampson. The Clifford WiIey-Ellenberg-Ma Marks

Dothan, Nov. 23-(Special. )-Anoth- CT attempted burglary of a Dothan home last night impresses one with the fact that such occurrences have be- come rather frequent here of late. Sew eral times within the past week or two efforts have been made to enter residences at night, but have proved generally unsuccessful, the intruders having been frightened away. One of the latest citizens to take a shot at a fleeing would-be burglar is J. w. Baughman, who a night or two ago sent several bullets after an unknown man departing hurriedly from Mir. Baughmans back porch.

FATHER BURNS NOT DEAD.
For Second Time Erroneous Report of
 His Demise was Circulated.

HI8 DGEmAAE W6B GhtC0AAtGWe
 Huntsville, Nov. 24.--tSpecial)-- Father John T. Burns, former pastor of St. Mary's Catholic Church of Hunts vile, is not dead as was reported here. The report of his death was in general circulation and there was no reason to doubt 1t until a warm friend tele- graphed San Francisco for particulars The reply conveyed Christmas greet ings from Father Burns to his friends in Huntsville. The report of his death was caused by the death of some man of the same name.
 This is the second time that Father Burns has had the unique experience of reading his own obituary. He went west few years ago and was reported dead and for a time his fellow priests held daily prayers for the repose of his soul. He is a member of the fac- ulty of St. Patrick's Seminary at Menlo Park. California, and Is generally known in Alabama and Tennessee.

Wisdom was the real idol of the pro- gressive heather of Paurs day. They still swung the censer in a perfunctory way before their images, but in their hearts they burned incense to wisdom alone. The fruits of the new idolatry. however, were not much more desirable than those of the old. Wisdom, sought as an end in itself, ministered to pride. It puffed up. It never built up. Of this the devil is an example. It has been quaintly said of him that he was the first person to be puffed up.
 Over against this heather knowledge Paul holds up the Christian knowledge in contrast. It's superiority is at once apparent. Its source is Divine. It comes by revelation of God. Its con- tents are unspeakably precious--God as Father, Jesus as Brother.
 But even Christian knowledge, if alone, Is dead. If held speculatively, 1t amounts to little. The truth is, knowledge is q wing. One can never rise upon 1t. or go in right line with it alone. i-nother wing is indispensa- ble. Love is that other pinion. With knowledge and love the Christian can speed his way glorifying God in practi- cal helpfulness to his fellows.
 Paul cautions the Corinthians to keep the wing of love unfurled. The heterogeneous composition of the Christian societies made this neces- sary. Paul Is liberal. He says: We know an idol is @ nonenity. Meat can not be affected by being placed before an idol. Meat, whether so placed or not, can not be eaten without scruples. But be careful. Don't let the wing of knowledge drive you blindly round the small circle of a selfish personal interest. Spread your other wing-the white pinion of love. In your church at Corinth there are many novices in Christianity. Theoretically they know that an idol is nothing, but practically they have not been able as yet to rid themselves of superstitious notions im- bibed with their mothers milk. Do not urge such a one to violate his con- scientious scruples while they remain. If, under your advice. he does what his conscience forbids, he sins.'
 The conditions-then and now and always-demand a generous self-denial for the sake of others.

 Knowledge, liberty, love are the three golden links in the chain which is to bind men to the altar of God.
 The total discontinuance, at the be- ginning of the Wesleyan revival of certain current customs and amuse- ments. was 1.-the nature of protest against the extreme to which they were carried at that time. Whether the protest is needed in that form and extent today will at least admit of question and debate.
 Like the poor, the brother of weak conscience we shall probably have with us always. He is a blessing in dis guise. But for him we would not be called upon to exercise the Christlike gift of self.denial--the loving and cheerful surrender, for the sake of others. of rights we know perfectly we'll belong to us.
 There is another side to this matter, however, The brother of weak con- science owes a duty to himself. The duty is to rid himself of his childish scruples, to got a conscience enlight- ened and strengthened.

The Teacher's Lantern.

The Teachers Lantern.
 The apostle church was not ideal. It had it's dissentions. In this instance the cause was trivial. Some one says, '"The body of Christ was torn about a piece of meat"
 The truth is the church is always in process of evolution. It sloughs of the effete. It unfolds the new. It does SO, not in supine ease, but by such birth throes as are here depicted.
 Charrybdis between which the Chris tian of the first century and of every century must needs steer. There are weak consciences, shocked at trifles. which in Christian fraternity must be considered. Then there is a practical antinomianism which claims to be free from the law or to be law unto itself
 The fundamental principles of pro- cedure in matters of casuistry are here irradlated. That Is what makes this incident invaluable to the Church in every age. It is of perpetual applica- tion.
 It is here evident that men are, in the last analysis. to be won to the truth. not by legislation, prohibition, or in hibition; not by artificial pr drastic methods; but by the perpetual, help ful, fraternal guidance of precept and example. until the life exenpined be-

HELP WANTED FOR
4 NOBLE WORK

One of the interesting travellers from
Japan now in Honolulu is Mr. Yoshihiro
! Igarashi, whose home is in Gifu. 1t will
| be remembered that at the time of
! the great earthquake upward of ten
| years ago this town suffered perhaps
more than any other in the empire.
The earthquake was followed by dis
astrous fire, these two calamities in
many cases wiping out entire families
and in others taking away one or both
parents. The pitable plight of those
who had lost all their property and es-
pecially of the large number of home
less orphans throughout Central japan,
moved the hearts of the people and I'M
der the new sense of responsibility
awakened by Christianity several no
table charities were born. Among the
most deeply stirred was a humble
Christian by the name of Igarashi, liv-
ing in F'unagawa in Gifu province. This
man opened his home and filled it with
orphan children. Some of his neigh
bors were moved to aid him. The WORK
grew, and before long was transferred
to Glfu. Gradually, as the institution
enlarged, new friends were made, until
all over Japan the Gifu Orphanage be-
came known, and generous givers, for
eign as well as native, rallied to its
support. Unfortunately the war, while
multiplying dependent children, cuts
off the financial ability to maintain
charities, and Gifu asylum has felt Sc
verely the stress of the burden Japan
is carrying. Mr.. Igarashi, therefore,
decided to visit America to secure aid
for his noble work. Honolulu people,
who may be moved to help him, may
rest assured that their contributions
viii assist most worthy cause-one
to which many of the leading foreign
merchants and missionaries in the EN-
Pire are constantly giving.

General Nogi has written poem
commemorative Of the capture of 2O5-
meter hill. of which the following is
said to be a literal translation:
How arduous must be the climbing OF
Ni-Rei-San,
But mans ambition expects to sur
mount great difficulties.
Steel and blood covered the mountain;
its very shape was changed;
The whole world gazes in wonder or
Ni-Rei-San.
And recent advices from the seat OF
war in Manchuria are, to the effect that
it was so cold on a recent battle field
that the blood froze in the wounds OF
stricken soldiers. There is grim mate
rial for the muse here, assuredly.
