yet been started, but with the ore now
opened up and with the whter power

HIS PRAYER.

Chaplain Hale no longer asks Senat-
ors to join with him in repeating the
Lords prayer at the mornings devot-
ions. This arises from the fact that
when he did make the request there
was no response
The circumstance was the basis Of Il
report, printed in some newspaper, that
none of the Senators knew the prayer.
The report in turn because the source
of no little anxiety to DR.. Hale.
Can it be possible that such n dcplo-
able condition of affairs exists" he
asked more than one Senator, and he
was apparently much relieved by the
assurance given him that the news
paper report was without foundation
"Id just like to see the test made, -
said Senators Tillman when he heard
the story. Il fear they'd all be like
wo fellows they tell about down in
South Carolina. They were i'm peril oil
losing their lives by drowning, when
one of them insisted the other should
pray, Notwithstanding his companion
demonstrated that he aid not know
how TO pray.
Just pray anyhow, said the Other
whcreupon the one said:
Lord, make us thankful for what
we are about to receive"
