known and prominent citizens, died Al
his home at 5;25 Wednesday evening

that Mr.. 0sgood was seriously i'll, but
was not prepared for the shock which
came with the announcement of his death
at the hour mentioned. On his arrival
home from his numbering operations near
Franklin Saturday evening prior to his
death he was suffering from illness and
on Sunday morning a physicion was
called who found him suffering severely

stirring days of river numbering.

of the county, which Office he filled with
credit to himself and his county. At the
expiration of his official term he engaged
in numbering on his own account, becom-
ing a permanent resident of Tionests.

home and lived comfortably. AS the
senior member of the firm of 0sgood &
Jameson, operating in this vicinity; j.
r. 0sgood & Co., and the Benton Lum-
ber Co.. with mills in Vensngo county,
to the latter of which he gave his per-
sonsl attention, he was very successful,
putting to good use in his numbering en-
terprises the knowledge gained in youth
and early life. September 8, 1888, Mr..
Osgood was united in marriage with
Miss Anna Burhenn, who, with one
daughter, Miss Katherine, survives. He

She added the words with difficulty. hardly as if

iot say II her prayers would have less chance She
ilICed up her head and prayed with exaltation She
t e at the statues foot and prayed with anguish
She was so still that the old motbee IN the next
room said to herself:
The Lord has sent her rest and sleep to
strength her against what is coming Blessed be
his name" "
How long she prayed she knew not Once. when
the silence IN the other room had lasted long, the
thought came to her and the child was dead She
thought IN strange, stupefed Wav of how A1icL,
would hear 1t. Would it be at night. in the bar
rack room with the ribaldry and tests going on
about him, or would it be in the morning, as he
came from parade all gay with the soldery smart
ness she loved III her hero? Would he think She
had been careless of the child and let him die or
would he wish he had married that other girl who
was Mostly full of health and life and would have
given HIM strong children? She was paving the
price OF her delicate nervous prettiness which had

thlng INFINITELY precious and perdurable to her
young husband. Then another crv broke the silence
one thinner and more feeble than before. Her
heart came out of its sluggish lethargy and she
would have sprung to her feet and gone to the
child.
Her eyes wandered an instant from the statue.
As she rose to her feet it was before her again. and
low cry broke from her lips, The arms of the
Mother OF Jesus were no longer extended. They
were clasping baby close, close The benignant
eyes were on the little face; the lips smiled upon it
with maternal kindness. And the child the child
was not Jesus. but the little one that lay dying in
the room without
The young mother fell down, covering her face
with her hands, and crying voicelessly: 90, dear
God! o, kind Cod o, dear Mother of God" But
when she looked again the statue was as before-hc
arms were empty and stretched in blessing.
A few minutes afterwards she returned to the
cradle side and stretched her arms for the child.

For Whom We Should PRAY.

Do not pray always for self; pray much for your
fellow-men, says the Sacred Heart Review; for the
tempted the SHINING the sick the suffering the sor-
rowing, the dying the dead. In this month of Sep
TENDER, the month of Our Lady of Sorrows, say
often your rosary in union with Mary's grief
stricken heart; and as you indicate on the myster
les think of the needy souls ON whom your prayers
can fall like the cooling rain on long parched soil
If we could but realize the power of prayer, how
mighty force for good would rosary become
to US. But whe must not limit ourselves to pray
ers alone; we must watch our opportunity to say
the warning word the helpful word the word of
comfort and of peace. Do not say, 81 have trouble
enough of my own; my heart is so heavy that
| cannot endure to hear of other peoples troubles
Did our Blessed Lord act like that? No; though
he bore the whole worlds sorrows his heart; no.
though he knew not where to lay his head; no,
though he endured the agony in the garden and
the desertion of his apostles; no, he could
comfort one penitent and he could pray for his
murderers and he could love- individually and per-
sonally, you and me. Let us follow his example and
we shall gain great reward, for he himself will
think for those who lose the thought of self in the
thought of him, and of his suffering children.

They were a long haired, wild looking people,
scorched into negro blackness, naked and not
ashamed. Morals in the technical sense they had
none, they could not be charged with SIM for they
had no knowledge of the law, and therefore they
could commit no breach of the law. They bored
holes in the ears, lips and nose, inserting in the
openings bones, shells or sticks. They bore only
names of common gender which they received
while yet in the womb Without fixed abodes they
roamed the country in search of food supporting
life snakes, roasted grasshoppers and ants,
wild fruit and roots dug from the cacti beds, and
because of this roofing habit they were called by
the Spaniards "Deguenes"-the Diggers. Here is
what Father Ugarte writes of the things which
they lived: "They live on rats, mice and worms,
lizards and snakes bats, grasshoppers and crick-
cts; kind of hairless green caterpillar, about
finger long on roots and barks and abominable
white worm the length and thickness of ones
thumb" Father Clavigero adds they never washed
themselves and that in their flthiness they
passed the brutes. Their hair was crawling with
vermin and their stupidity dense that they
could not count beyond five and this number they
expressed by one hand The different tribes Faith
er Basgert tells US, represented by means
tional beings But resembled far more herds IF
wild swine, which run about according to their own
liking. being together today and scattered tomor-
row. till they meet again by accident at some fu-
ture time They had no marriage ceremony, nor
any word in their language to express marriage.

The devils as gods would converse with anyone
that could gain access to their temples.
In conclusion it must be affirmed that if super
stiton is detestibe, irrelgon and extreme skep7
ticism are a thousand times more so. Hence 1t is
that we find such gross superstition among races
that had or really their ancestors had departed
apostatized from the true God No men advanced
superstition so greatly in the minds of many peo-
pie as Spencer, Darwin and host of scientists OF
proved great deal less, for when true religion is
destroyed in the hearts of men, or to put it another
way when valid reasonable faith goes out through
the window of the soul gross superstition wends
its undispued way through the door, for all nations
and peoples that forget God shall be turned into
hell, and the places that knew them once shall
know them no more RICARDO.

perSonate human beings are really devils which
the church has always recognized existing but
which she forbids evocating holding any deal
ings with them Even Moses forbade his people to
hold any communication with spirits.
There is also another idea regnant among peo-
pie and has been in age of the Christian era
and that is that the ancient oracles we're manipu-
lated by pagan priests and priestesses. Now that
is very great strain on the imagination. To en-
terrain the improbable conception that for 1000
years great emperors like Alexander, Caesar and
the ancient monarchs we're always deceived when
they iourneyed to those pagan temples to learn
the fortunes of war or any other event pertain
ing to the future is not sensible. There must have
been something more than human sorcery. 1t
must be conceded unless wish to think that all
these millions of people, kings, senators and his
torians of pagan nations prior to Christ, in
sane, that devils from eternity uttered prophecies
through these stone gods or oracles. The highly
intelligent Jewish people who honored the living
and true God so believed concerning these idols,
and because something more than the lfeless stone
was there many Jews easily followed the idols.
They appealed to them more than an invisible
Creator who only spoke to their hottest prophets.

THE LAST ROAD,

Across the silence of the hills
ooh, distant hills of dreamD
The piper's magic music shrills
And ripples like a stream.
Beyond the moor, beyond the feel
Thin, tremulous and silver clear,
1t pierces to the souls of men;
1t calls-and they must hear.
The voice of all the crowded town
ooh, voice of tears and laughterD
The piper's charmed note shall drown;
They turn and follow after.
BY Its wild lure their feet are drawn
To walk way they do not know.
Whatever heart be left to mourn
1t calls-and they must go.
They leave their hearts desire behind;
ooh, witching tune the piper playsD
None know what they may hope to find;
What waits beyond the trackless ways
No grief can hold, no love can keep;
No wild regret their eyes can dim.
Whatever heart be left to weep
The piper calls-they follow him.

MUSIC THE REVEALER.

For music (Which is earnest of heaven,
Seeing we know emotions strange by it,
Not else to be revealed), is as a voice,
A low voice calling fancy, as a friend,
To the green woods in the gay summer time;
And she fills all the way with dancing shapes
Which have made painters pale and they go on
While stars look at them and winds call to them
As they leave life's path for the twilight world
Where the dead gather

Like birds and beasts they paired off according tt
fancy. They practiced polygamy, each man taking
as many wives as would attach themselves to him
they were his slaves and supported him. Theil
forebears had eXterminated driven into the in
accessible mountain canyons the larger game Of
the peninsula the deer, the antelope, the big-horn
the ibex. They tracked the fight of buzzards with
greedy eyes and followed to share with them the
purifying carcasses of animals dead from disease
or killed by pumas or mountain lions When, by
good luck, they captured hare jack-rabbit
they attached small morsel of the raw and bleed
ing flesh to fiber cord and after swallowing it
drew it out after a few minutes and passed the
partially digested mass to another, who repeated
the foul act. Yet they were not cannibals and in
abstaining from human flesh offered a striking
trast to the Aztecs of Mexico City, who fed hui
man fesh cut up and sailed the bodies of prisoners
captured in battle and sold the meat at the public
markets. They were fierce and savage nation
without law. tribal rules or government of any
kind unruly and brutal in their passions, merci
lessly cruel to their enemies more gregarious
than social and of cold blooded disposition often
manifested in treachery, in relentless prosecutions
and in assassinations. Otondo's colonists charged
them in addition with asinine stupidity, ingrati-
tude, Inconsistency and irremidiable laziness. The |
jesuit fathers wrote more kindly of them, they |
condoned their bestality and shameless lcentious-
ness by reason of their squalid surroundings and
sordid conditions, but then must remember that
from the day the Jesuts opened their first mission
among them, the Digger Indians" became their
spiritual oh ildren and wards of the church. This
was the land and these the people to whom in
their unexampled abandonment and unspeakable
degeneracy, the missionary priests of the Society of
Jesus brought the message of salvation the hope
of happiness in this life and the assurance of
to higher and better life beyond the
grave.

SOME REFLECTIONS


Now it may be asked why [ have dwet at such
length on this unpleasant subject, why have pic
tured gruesomev, even if truthfully the disgust
ing habits of foul and filthy peoplel have done
so that those who now read this letter may learn
and understand what manner of men they were
who, for Chrst's sake and for the sake of perish
ing souls, said good bye" forever to their friends
at home to all that men in this world value and
prize, to the teeming vineyards of sunny Spain to
ease, comfort and the delights of companionship
with refined or scholarly minds, and doomed them
selves voluntarily to the horrors of hourly asso-
citation with revolving vice with repellant sur
roundings, to daily fellowship with filthy and un-
hospitable hordes. The Digger Indian" was
man. so was the priest The Digger Indian had
descended to the level and in some instances below
the level of the brue the priest to the heights
of hero and to the plane of the saint. What con-
spiracy of accidents, what congeries of events
what causes combined to make brute of one and
a civilized and an honorable man of the other (?
Well, unrestrained passions ungoverned will, I'm
regulated desires, contempt for all law human and
divine in the beginning and then entire ignorance
of it, and finally well-nigh desperate conditions of
existence and almost utter restitution and therefore
impossible conditions of civilization made the Dig
ger Indian. And the Jesuit priest the hero and
the saint? Ethnologically, it is not so long ago
since the ancestors of the priest were barbarians
and on the downward road to savagery When
Pope Innocent I. early in the fifth century, sent
his missionaries to civilize and preach the doc
trines of Divine Lord to the Spaniards and
those of the Herian peninsula, they were. as we
learn from the letter of the Pope to Decentius,
given over to foulness and the worship of demons
The church lifted them out of their degradation
civilized and Christianized them and made of them
what Yoltaire termed "an heroic nation" The
same church with her consecrated missionaries
was leading out from the shadow of death the Dig
ger Indians and would have made civilized and
Christian community of them if she had been left
for fifty years in undsturbed possession of the
field.
