JONATHAN MAYHEM 100. Tau oo''
than Mayhem lived until the outbreak
Of the Revolution it is reasonably GER
tain that he would have followed the
example of Muhlenberg in exchanging
the pulpit for the camp.
He co-operated with James otis ana
other of the earlier opponents OF Brit
lsh tyranny, and in the pulpit and
through the press taught resistance to
the beginnings of that civil oppression
that was to end in the final measures
That drove the colonies to revolution.
In January, 1850, he delivered a ser
mon on the execution of Charles l., in
which he advocated setting limit to
the allegiance q subject owes his SOW
ereign. In his Thanksgiving sermon
IN 1766 he pleaded for civil as well as
for religious liberty.
On his deathbed Mayhem wrote to
Otis urging the union of the colonies
as the only means Of perpetuating
their liberties. Although he never lived
to reap the fruits of his labors, lis was
a life spent in the service of freedom
and he was one of its pioneers.

a numerous class to murder men of an
gether are guilty of any murder that is
committed in pursuance of such advice.
The people of this country love their
institutions, they love their homes, they
love their property. They will never con-
sent that by violence and murder those
institutions shall be broken down, their
homes despoiled and their property de-
stroyed. And the people are strong
enough to protect and sustain their insti-
tutions and to punish all offenders against
their laws, and those who threaten danger
to civil society if the law is enforced are
leading TO destruction whoever may at
tempt to execute such threats.
The existing order of society can be
changed only by the will of the majority.
Each man has the full right to entertain
and advocate by speech and print such
opinions as suit himself and the great
body of people will usually care little
what he says. But if he proposes muir
der as means of enforcing his opinions
he puts his own life at stake. And no
clamor about free speech or the evils to
be cured or the wrongs to be redressed
will shield him from the consequences
of his crime. His liberty is not IL
cense to destroy. The liberation that he
enjoys he must extend to others and not
arrogantly assume that the great majority
are wrong and may rightfully be coerced
By terror or removed by dynamite.

BUSY BELGIUM.
Every Creature Works There Excep1
Sheep and Pigs.

Every Creature Works There Except
Sheep and Pigs.
There is more population to the
square mile in Belgium than in any
other part of the earth except China
and some parts Of India, writes VIII.
liam L. Curtis in the Chicago Record
Herald. There isn't an inch of ground
wasted; every drop of water in the
streams is utilized, and every ounce Of
strength and energy is applied. Every.
body works in Belgium but the sncuD
and the pigs. Dogs and cows have to
draw heavy burdens. The dogs do the
churning on the farms and draw mar
ket carts loaded with vegetables to
market Sometimes they have wom-
an harnessed in with Them which is
little hard on the woman, but very
complimentary to the dog, and it helps
him to draw the load.
Mines, factories, toy gardens, beauti-
full villas, immense railway stations
and long blocks of brick houses are
mixed up like the objects in a kaleido-
scope as the train ruShes through busy
Belgium. There is always a town in
sight-lOng, narrow streets inclosed by
high brick tenements five and six
stories high, with steep roofs covered
with slate, and between them are little
FARMS like those that you see in Japan,
patches of wheat, rye or barley no
bigger than the straw beds in an Amer
lean garden, with little strips of pota-
toes or other vegetables planted be-
tween. Every inch of the soil is cul.
tivated, even up to the ballasting Oh
the railroad tracks. There is nothing
to show where the farms divide.
Hedges take up too much room and
fence material is too expensive. Hill.
sides that are too steep for farming
are planted to trees and cultivated like
cabbages or turnips, because every
stick Of timber has a value here. The
waste Of an American sawmfIl would
be worth a fortune in Belgium. AID.
parently the women folks do most OF
the farming. You scarcely ever see 3
man in the fields as the train hurries
by. This is due to the fact that the
men can get better wages in the mines
and mills than they can earn on the
farms.

JUDGE GARY'S SPEECH
TO THE ANARCHISTS.

The death Of Judge Joseph E. Gary,
the Superior Court bench in Chicago,
recalls to mind the historical trial of
the anarchists responsible for the Hay
market riot which occurred in May,
1856. The men were tried before Judge
Gary and found guilty Of murder in
the first degree and it devolved on him
to impose sentence.
Addressing the prisoners he spoke in
part as follows:

Value of Stewet Fruit,

Stewed fruit of any description Is far
more beneficial than the majority of
fresh ones, and the despised prunes
will agree with the woman who has
dyspepsia, as well as the one with q
strong, healthy stomach. They may be
eaten, too, as a rule, either before Il
meal or as dessert with equally good
results for the complexion and health.
Stewed apples, pears or any of tho
smaller fruits are also benefit, if not
too sweet. Taking figs In such quanti-
ties, especially before retiring, does not
agree with the average person, as the
habit is supposed to, for the conceni
trated sweetness is really bad, If the
stomach Is sour or there is surplus
Of acid in the blood. Then, too, the tiny
seeds in them are difficult for any but
strong stomachs to really digest AND
assimilate.
