A New Way to Europe.

A route across the Atlantic Whlcn
would greatly shorten the ocean
voyage is being discussed in Eng
land. It is proposed to utilize the
harbor of Galway, situated on the
western coast of Ireland, and run
line of express steamers between
there and ST. Johns, on the coast
af Newfoundland, a distance of 1876
miles. while the rest of the Journey
to New York could be made for most
of the way by fast trains. It is De-
lieyed that the trip from London to
the American metropolis could thus
be shortened by at least day. From
New York to Southampton is almost
twice as far as from Galway to st.
.Iohn's-2116 miles; while the dis
tance from New York to Liverpool Is
1895 miles. ~

weight the soul. For those of US
who have laid our hearts at the feet
OF Christ, they are the sins which
keep us from attainment unto spirit
ual perfection and the strength OF
the Saviour. They are the cancers
which gnaw It the vita1s of the man
spiritual, and which consume the
very 1ife's blood. Leaving behind
these lesser sins we may grow into
the stature OF the Son of God, Put
ting meanness and pettiness behind
us we may become like Him who was
in all things pure. But only as we
exclude the smallnesses of life from
our natures do we grow.
But we must always remember
that we have a duty to self as we'll
as to society and to the Saviour.
Here, again, duty to God presup-
poses and implies right relation
with SELF We cannot be true to God
and untrue to self. Right relations
with God preclude an evil inner life.
ITO thine own self be true," the poet
sings, "and it must follow. as the
| night the day, thou canst not then
be false to any man" He might
have said, with equal surety, that
loyalty to God precludes disloyalty
| to man and to self. Trueness to self
! implies Christianly speaking, that
| the man is in harmony with man
kind and with God.
| Trueness to the highest and ho-
| Hest motives and ideals that are
| within us brings greatest happiness
and peace. Right thoughts produce
| and conserve right life. High
| thinking is a tonic. Low thinking
breeds disease. Cleanness of heart
| means clearness Of head. To grovel
spiritually is to declare ones self to
be a sloven mentally. We must keep
ourselves purified of unwholesome-
| ness if we would attain the heights
/ where holy men dwell.
Education is not salvation. Knowl-
edge is. power and should induce pu-
| rity. But the pure In heart-mind
you, not the strong in mental force
the pure in heart alone see God
The vile of soul are always in the
depths of hell, and all the wisdom Of
all the ages could not pull them out
4 A clean heart fits a man for Hfe's
labors We cannot submit ourselves
to the rule of our evil passions If we
would escape ruin. "Our bodies are
| good servants, but poor masters" /" is
an apt and wise saying. The Chris
was power, because He had {
healthy mind and pure heart. tt
| Him evil was hateful. For Him love
WAS the law and the light of tn,
world. For God is love.
| To be pure, to be gentle, to be no
BILE, to think kindly and to act wor
thily, to be right toward man and il
the sight of God, to be growing con
stantly into GodHkeness, that is t.
be truly Christlike. And to those o
us alone who are trying, as Chan
ming has said, ito let the spiritual
unbidden and unconscious grow III
through the common" who are liv
ing nearest to the source Of all low
and of all life, is it given to say, witt
very truth, Form to live is Christ.

Every moment he had a sensation as
if he could grasp tit was on the
tip of his tongue-still it would not
materialize. From being simply vexed
he now became excited and suffered
actual physical pain. Hot and cold,
waves ran up and down his spine, his,
muscles contracted, he could not re-
main quietly in the same place; his.
hands twitched and he bit his parched
lips until they bled. He wanted to-
weep and fight at the same time. Yet
the more he tried to concentrate his!
thoughts, the more the name eluded
him. ..
!. He rose and stamping his foot, he re-
marked: why try any longer? It viii
come to me when I shall cease look
ing for it,"
But this was easier said than done.
Do what he might, the same question
was ever uppermost in his mind
Monsieur -? Monsieur -"
Night came on. The streets uegan
to be deserted. He went to 4 lodging
house, asking for room, and threw
himself on the bed-worn out by tho
strain. He slept until daybreak and
felt much refreshed, and for a mo-
ment forgot his dilemma. Suddenly
it all came back with redoubled fury.
The sensation of fear now came over
him, fear of never finding the name
again. Like one possessed, he walked
about the notary's house by the hour.
For the second time it grew dark. He
buried his nails in his scalp and
groaned II shall go mad"
Here was his terrible position. He
possessed 100000 francs in bank-notes
to be sure they we're stolen property,
still he would take possession. To
have them he had served five years in
prison, and now he could not get
them. They were within his reach but
name, a simple name, which could
not come, cheated him out of it ALL
He beat his head, for it seemed as if
his reason were leaving him; he ran
against the lamp-post reeling like a
drunken man. He had no more fixed
ideas-madness possessed his whole be-
ing. He seemed now convinced that
he should never find the name. Strange
voices seemed to mock him and pass
ers-by point their fingers in derision.
Headlong he rushed through the
streets, regardless of anything ip the
way, in mad desire that something
might crush out his BRAIN. Monsieur
-? Monsieur -?" Oh that name.
He came to the river. In the green.
| idolent waters of the Seine the stars
| were reflected. He wept aloud-"Mon-
sieur -? Oh what is the name?"
He descended the steps leading to
waters edge SO that he might cool his
] face and hands. He breathed heavily
Gradually the water drew him nearer
| and nearer until it held his eyes-his
ears-his whole body. He felt himself
| drawn into it without making the
| slightest attempt to hold on to some
thing. Then he fell, the icy cold stune
him. Involuntarily he struggled, hi:
arms rose, he raised his head-then ht
sank. He rose again to the surface
then suddenly, during last desperat,
effort, his eyes bulging out of thei
sockets and his mouth contorted, h
shrieked Il have it Help! Duyerge
-Thou-!''

The waters splashed against the bridge
and its dark arch re-echoed the nam

THE DEPOSIT.
Translated From the French Of
Maurice Level.
BY LOUISE wARING.

Ravenot held the position of cashier
in the same bank for ten consecutive
years.
During all this period there was no
ground for criticism of his work. His
books were well kept and no errors
were found in his accounts.
He lived by himself, Stunned all
new connections, visited no public re-
sorts, had no desire for female attach
ments; in short, he seemed to lead
peaceful and contented existence.
When any one remarked in his pres
ence: cit must be great temptation,
this handling of such great sums" he
quietly answered: why? Money
which doesn't belong to one is simply
no money"
He was the embodiment of rectitude
and all delicate questions on finance
were left for him to decide.
One evening he failed to return to
his lodgings The thought of anything
fraudulent never entered the mind OF
those who knew him; all they feared
| was that he had met with some acci-
dent The officials examined his last
days work.. ALI his checks had been
promptly presented; the last one had
been cashed at Porte Montreaux about
seven O'Clock. What he had taken in
J up to that time amounted to 10000
| francs No trace Of him was to be
| found. Searchers were sent in all di-
rections and kilograms to all frontier
stations. All in vain! Finally the di-
rectors Of the bank as well as the pO-
| lice came to the conclusion that he
had been foully dealt with. They even
went so far as to say they had found
evidences which led them to believe
that this plot had been prearranged by
crooks long before it was carried out.
One man in the whole Of Paris shrug-
ged his shoulder on reading these no
tees in the daily papers, and that
man was Ravenot.
While the most experienced detec-
tives were getting off his track, he was
skirting the outlying boulevards lead
ing to the river Under the arches
of one of. the bridges the night be
fore, he had hidden a civilians suit
After putting this on, and safely stow
ing away the 100000 francs in his pock-
cts, he made a bundle of his discarded
uniform, tied stone in it, and threw
it in the river, then quietly return
ing to the city. He had ample time te
take train and get beyond the frontier
hut he was clever enough td know thai
a few hundred kilometers would no
keep him out of the clutches Of thu
gendarmerie. He clearly knew wha
awaited him if caught. Accordingly
he reasoned along entirely differen
lines. f
The following morning he put th
2GO, 900 francs in an envelope whicl
he sealed Eve times and went to
notary. "Sir," he said, 81 ask your sci
vice. This envelope contains paper
Of great value, which I wish to plac
securely before starting on a long jour
neg from which l know not when
may return. Will you take charge @
this? hope you do not object?"
'sNot in the least / simply give 20
\ receipt"
3 Ravenot acquiesced. Suddenly he b'
thought him what he should do wit

NOTHING NOW LEFT

The republican party in Summers
county Is hopelessly busted" The
people seem to have abandoned a. 20

vided than ever and manifest no
disposition to get together. TIVE
campaign this year will be between
the democrats and the Brigade clean
without complications and N the
democrats will fight like white heads
they will win hands down by fifteen
hunderd majority. This is no idle
boast. no foolish assertion, no bluG
We base our estimates on these facts:
There is not a man In Summers
county that ever had the slightest
suspicion about voting the demo
cratic ticket that is not going to do
so his year. There is not man in
Summers county that ever voted
against the Blue Pencil Brigade tina
is not going to do so this load of
poles. Many of our voters who have
been voting the republican ticket are
Bryan people. With Roosevelt ont
OF politics they logically turn to
BRYAN. I'm fact. people everywhere
are doing that who are not owned by
the trusts and corporations. The

~ has increased couple of hundred
since the last election. We mean
by this that class who vote the dem
ocratic tickle regardless Of fuss, feath-
ors or faction. Both great political
parties have his seed corn" ele-
ment. 1t is just as necessary in n
political party as the bones are in
a body. The republican candidate
for congress will be the Hon. Joe
Holt Gaines. With our people Joe
is weak stick No man with any
suspicious of ever voting for a
democrat would care to vote against
Joe Holt. Our people are not in love
with Big Elkins. There is nothing
in him so far as Summers county is
concerned. There is no special rea-
son why any man should vote to
promote the political interests of Mr..
lilkins. Mr.. Baker, of Mercer coun-

A Rule and an Exception.

According to the New York Trib-

rule of etiquette: when lady and
gentleman are walking in the street,
the lady should walk inside of the
gentleman"
1t seems a little strange that this
simple rule, so long current among
the cannibal tribes of the Andaman
and other islands, should find it's way
into a rural journal of more or less
civilization. 1t would appear that the
etiquette editor of the paper in ques-
ton was either too careless or too
hurried to note any exceptions to the
rule. Otherwise he would have ex-
planned that when the gentleman was
thirsty and desired to enter cafe,
the lady would walk on the outside
