SHE HOLDS NO ENMITY.
Mrs. Eddy Says Her Prosecutors Have
Gained Nothing.

Concord, N H, Aug. 26.-'Persecution
cannot last forever. There is always a
reaction But 1 hold no enmity. Those
who have attempted to injure me have
gained nothing
Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the
Christian Science church, uttered this
sentiment of forbearance in the first
interview she has granted since the
abandonment of the suits brought by
her next friends" Coincident with the
audience with the founder of Christian
3 Science was the departure of her son,
George Washington Glover, and his wife
for their home in South Dakota. This is
taken by Mrs. Eddy's lawyers as indi-
eating the final abandonment of any
further action against Mrs. Eddy. A
newspaper man called at Pleasant View,
Mrs E.ddy's home, and was uShered up
the thickly carpeted stairway of the
''house of mystery which is an unusual
" comfortable New England home. He
was taken into the apartments of Mrs.
Eddy.
Cordial to the Caller.
ct am glad to have you call upon me.
Now won't you sit down here and talk
TO me- was Mrs. Eddy's greeting.
She seated herself beside her literary
work table, on which were many letters.
a volume Of Science and Health and a
book of hymns.
In a voice slightly quavering but of
great softness, Mrs. Eddy said: Truth
and right always will prevail. Persecu-
ton cannot last forever. There is al
ways a reaction. 1 hold no enmity.
Those who have attempted to injure me
have gained nothing. But why should
they prosecute me? All that 1 ask in
the remaining years of my life is peace
and quietude. Are gray hairs sacred?
Have I ever injured any one? Am 1 not
to be left alone to pursue that mission
in which I am the appointed agent of
the divine being to spread truth and
peace and happiness throughout the
world?
The Trustees Accounted For.
ct have much work to do, and 1 have
consecrated my life to God. That is
why I turned my property over to my
three trustees. 1 could not serve both
God and Mammon. / have come here to
live out my life in my appointed mis-
sion. I trust in God and He will give
me strength TO accomplish those things
which have been marked out for me to
do.
"And now I am to be left alone in
peace and without the bitter and I'M
kind attacks brought by those who
forced the actions against me by my
next friends. There is a tremendous
amount of good in the world, and it will
not harbor resentment against those
who have inflicted i'll upon you

NOT FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE

It is now claimed that the foot and

1t was not loaded, and the, powder was

Uncle Zebedee raped on the old oak
table with startling effect. and then,
after a moments confusion, continued:
She loaded the gun and went down to
the foot of the stairs and looked
through the latch hole of the stair

probably never seen a kettle like these
before, and he did not know what they
were.

little hands protruded under the bail Of
each of them, like turtles paws, for the
kettles stood on their ears, which lifted
them a little way from the floor. One
of the children began to creep and to
cry, moving the kettle. The other be-

excited by my first impressions of
them.
I had gone to the old Minot house, in
Dorchester, Mass, to take dinner with
my aunt. We two, my aunt and ], had
wandered over the house, up the huge
stairway and down into the cellar.
Suddenly aunt opened the door of an
old pantry on the floor Of the porch
and said, "Child, look here!
what, aunt?"
"The two brass kettles"
Two enormous brass kettles met my
eyes. They were turned owe on the
floor, and each would have held the
contents of a half barrel.
"Those are the ones, my dear"
"What ones, auntY"
1.-THE ones that saved the two chill
dren from the old Indian straggler."
what Indian straggler?" I asked,
with intense interest.
"Oh, the one in King Philips war.
Didn't you ever hear the story?"
mo, aunt"
"Well, I'll get Uncle Zebedee to tell
it to you after dinner. Come"
"But what could any n do with
such kettles as these? Where did they
hang them?" I continued.
"Come here, and I will show you"
She swept away, and I shut the door
Of the dark room, which was lighted
only by opening the door, and followed
her. We went into the kitchen. She
pointed to an enormous fireplace and
said. "There, child"
"But, aunt, how did the two brass
kettles save the Children" I asked
again.
"Oh, they crawled about all over
the floor here, there and yonder," point.
ing.
(Which crawled about, the kettles or
the children, aunt"
A din here fell upon the air and
echoed through the great, fortress-like
rooms. 1t was the huge bell for meals
"Come, child, let's go. Uncle Zebedee
will tell you all about it."
In a moment we were in the dining
hall. How grand it all seemed! The
sideboard was full of baked meats and
| steaming pies. Over it hung a fintlock
gun or a blunderbuss. The room had
been decorated for the occasion with
creeping jenny and boughs loaded
with peaches that had been broken of
by a September gale. There was g
whitewashed beam across the or
which were great hooks and staples
The table was oak, and the chairs were
Of a curious old pattern. At the head
Of the table was d great chair, and ir
it sat Uncle Zebedee, a good old man
now nearly ninety years Of age.
After the family, were seated Uncle
Zebedee was asked to say grace. He
had a habit Of saying "and" after end
ing a sentence, and this made another
sentence necessary, often when he hat
nothing more to say. 1t was so even II

and-did you ever hear a child cry IN
der a kettle?" said Uncle Zebedee, with
q curious smile.
We all confessed that we never had.
"Then, child, you just get under one
Of those kettles and boiler. You needn't
be afraid. There amt no Indians now
to do you any harm. Holler loud"
I did so.
do you hear that?" said Uncle Zebe-
dee. you never heard such a sound
as that before. Hollow as a bell.
Another child was placed under one
Of the kettles and uttered a continuous
cry. The sound rang all over the room.
"There!" said Uncle Zebedee. did
any one ever hear anything like that?
1t rings all over the room, scary-like.
"Well, the children did not know
about the Indian, and they began to
creep toward the light Of the window,
moving the kettles like two enormous
beetles and crying and making the ket-
ties rumble and rumble all around,
boom-oom-oom, just like that. The In
dams black eyes glowed like fire, and
he raised his gun and fred at one of
the kettles. But nothing came Of it.
The shot did not harm the children I'M
der the kettle. 1t frightened both of
the children and made them cry the
louder and louder and scream as
though they were frantic. Ugh! said
the Indian. Him no goot!!
1.-THE kettles were all alive now, NOV
ing and echoing. He was more puzzled
than before. What kind Of creatures
could these be with great brass back
and living paws and full Of unheard of
noises like those? ugh, ugh! said he,
just like that. The kettles kept moving
and sounding, and the Indian grew
more and more excited as he watched
them. Suddenly he threw up his great
arms and turned his back, and Now
it all goes from me again."
HE said 'Ugh!' and threw up his
arms and turned his back" prompted
aunt.
"And the maid opened the stair door
and fred" continued Uncle Zebedee.
"She drew quickly back and waited
for the family to return. The children
continued to cry. But they were safe,
as they could not overturn the kettles
and bullets could not reach them. The
family came in an hour in great alarm.
They had seen human blood in the
road, but no Indian.

meadow there, and"-

was a boy .nd"-
"That is all, Uncle zebedee," said
aunt. you've got through now"
Eyes, I've got through, now. don't
think that I shall Y e tell that story
again and"-
There was something pathetic and
yet beautifully prophetic in the contin-
uance. The slanting sun shone through
the old window, and the chippering of
birds was heard in the fields.
Uncle Zebedee never did tell the
story again. The final conjunction
his long, peaceful life came soon after
he told the tale to me. The violets and
