BURY THE Ratchet.
Warning Bosses to Make Common
Cause Against Reformers.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-That Sena-
tor Plat and former Governor Odell,
who have been political enemies for
the last two years, will get together
to fight the reformers recently placed
in the saddle by President Roosevelt
and Governor Higgins, is believed by
about the reconciliation of the two
leaders which was brought about at
the Amen corner dinner when for the
first time in a year they shook hands
and exchanged words.
More than that each toasted the
other at the dinner. When the sena-
ator was toasted, Odell rose and drank
his health and when the toast to Odell
was proposed the senator returned the
compliment Then they shook hands
and talked together for several min
utes. The diners appreciated the sig
nificance of the incident and cheered
both repeatedly.
Odelrs speech, which was about
bosses, was also regarded as Signifi-
cant. He cautioned his hearers that
in turning down little bosses they
should be careful to see that they did
not put one big boss in their place.
This was taken as a direct reference

BIBLE NOT WORD OF GOD, He SAYS
CHICAGO PROFESSOR SAYS MEN
WHO WROTE COLORED
THEIR WRITINGS.

CHICAGO, Ill, Feb. 13.-Higher
criticism scored another blow today,
when Professor Gerald B. Smith of the
University of Chicago school. told the
Midway "theologs" at the divinity
chapel that the Bible and the word of
God could no longer be considered
identical
Following so soon after the radical
critical volume of Professor Foster on
The Finality of the Christian Re-
ligion," DR.. Smiths statements met
with close attention.
TT is now recognized" he declared,
that the word quoted from the scrip
lures is not identical with the word
of God. The great protestant reforms
based their beliefs on revelations from
God. Quoting scripture, they said,
Thus saith the Lord and the scrip
ture was taken as the direct word of
sible for the scholar, for ne recognizes
that the Bible is colored by both the
opinion and expression of the men who
wrote it. We must base our theology
not upon tentative opinions, but upon
absolute assurance. The reformers-
among them Calvin and Lutner-at-
tackled the Catholic church because
they objected to the reasonings of men
as opposed to the absolute assurance
of the word of God. We must arrive
at stage Of absolute assurance by
test of inner personality, not of specu-
lative possibility. Theology must be
built up On absolute convictions"

FINDS NEEDLE IN SHOULDER.
St. Peter Physician Removes Cause Of
Lone Aiiment to Patient.

ST PETER, Mimi, Feb. 13.-Em1l
Reinhardt, a young man living at
Blooming Grove, feels somewhat re-
lieved now that he has parted COM
pany with a big needle that has been
roaming about in his system for a
score of years. Reinhardt had been
troubled for several months with an
acute pain in the left shoulder, which
he supposed was due to rheumatism
Recently it became so annoying that
consulted a physician, who, after max
ing an examination, told Reinhardt
that a foreign substance of some kind
probably a needle, was the cause OF
the trouble An operation proved this
to be the case. When an incision was
made a huge needle about two inches
in length was found imbedded in the
flesh near the shoulder joint. Where
the needle came from is a mystery,
but it is supposed that Reinhardt must
have swallowed it when he was a
child and that it has since been wan
dering aimlessly about in mis- body.

HANDEL'S OBSTlNACY.
An Incident of the Great Musicians
Childhood Days.

An Incident of the Great Musicians
Childhood Days.
A child's obstinacy does not always
bring as fortunate results as was the
case with Handel, the great musician.
His extraordinary resoluteness as a
boy doubtless led to that great success
which crowned the later years of his
life. When he was some seven years
Of age his father had occasion to visit
to the Duke of SAKE Weissenfels.
Travelling in those days-2OO years ago
was tedious and expensive, and DR..
Handel did not desire to be delayed
with the care of an Infant" during
journey which the demands of a re-
sponsible profession would probably
make as short as possible.
But the future giant of music would
go. He cried, beloved and eventually
ran along the road after the vehicle,
until the tender feelings Of the doctor
could refuse no longer In an evil mo-
took the child with him.
No sooner did the little fellow reach
the ducal residence than he gave rein
to his fancy on the keys of every in
strument that he found open. The re-
markable music that came from the
finger tips Of the child's hands was
soon the object of wonder and CONVEX
sation throughout the palace, and all
this was intensified when he secured
an opportunity of touching the keys of
the chancel organ within the hearing
of the duke
Such a throb started from that chap
ell organ when little Handlers tendriled
fingers chose the keys, and the soul Of
the duke was touched as it never had
been touched before-truly momen-
tous occurrence, since but for it Han
del's sacred music might never have
been written.
The dukes attention having been ar
rested, he inquired Of DR.. Handel con-
corning the child's future, and eventu-
ally succeeded in placing him for three
years study under Zachau, the organ
list of Halle cathedral. This was the be-
ginning of Handlers musical education.

"You can always tell young hus-
band from an old one by the way he
acts when he goes after a bucket Of
water" says Uncle Hiram. Three
months married, he swings the pump
handle, whistles and casts covert
glances at the house as though some
one were looking at him from the Win
dow. One year married, he swings the
pump handle more slowly, smiles Oc-
casionally and seems to be annoyed be-
cause the meal is late. Two years mar
ried, he looks sour and glum, kicks the
cat over the coal house and looks at the
house as if he would like to choke
somebody. Three years married, he
sits on the doorstep and smokes while
his wife works the pump handle."-

The Poison of Wealth.

Great riches, carrying with them
enormous possibilities of self indul-
gence, may fairly be considered as a
sort of poison which ruins a certain
proportion of those who are exposed
to it, though strong constitutions sur
vive. AS rum destroys savages, so
wealth tends to destroy persons-espe-
cially young ones, whom use and train
ing have not gradually made immune
to it's effects. How that is may readily
be noticed in observing the effects Of
newly won wealth on the families of
the winners. 1t is rare man and usu-
ally one very much blessed in his wife,
who can combine with the ability that
wins him riches the sagacity to train
children born in comparative poverty
so that they will benefit by rapid and
radical improvement in his circum-
stances-Edward S. Martin in Allan
tic.

HEART OF LOUIS XIV.
How It Came to be Buried In Vest
minister Abbey.

How It Came to he Buried In West
minister Abbey.
A remarkable story regarding thu
heart of Louis XIV. and how it CAME
to be buried in Westminster abbey was
told in London Truth by Henry La
bouchere, who said the story was told
to him by the late Colonel Harcourt
and was confirmed by his brother, the
late Sir William Harcourt. A Har-
revolution had many connections III
France and invited many of the emil
gres to visit him. Among them was the
canon Of st. Denis. On leaving the
canon expressed his thanlR for the
kindly hospitality Of his host and pro-
duced from his pocket something that
looked like piece of dried leather an
inch or SO long, which he presented to
him. II was" he said, "in the cathe-
dral when the royal tombs were broken
open and the contents scattered to the
winds. This heart Is that Of Louis
XIV. 1t was kept in separate recep-
tacle, and managed to get away with
it, The heart thus came into the pos
session Of the Harcourt family and
was occasionally produced for the in
spectiOn of visitors as curiosity. The
late DR.. auckland, dean Of Westmin-
ster, was on a visit when it was
brought out for his inspection. He was
then very old and had some reputation
as man of science, and the scientific
spirit moved him to wet his finger and
rub it on the heart. He put the finger
to his mouth after that, and before he
could be stopped he put the heart into
his mouth and swallowed it, whether
by accident or design will never be
known. Very shortly afterward he died
and was buried in Westminster abbey
1t Is impossible he could ever have di-
gested the thing. Consequently the
heart of Louis XIV. must now be re-
posing in Westminster abbey inclosed
in the body Of an English dean.
