"sLEsT BE THE TIE"
How the Familiar Old Hymn Came to
Be Written.

Not n in a thousand Of those who
sing that good old hymn "Blest be
the tie that binds" knows the history
OF its homely origin. According to
the Church Eclectic, II was written
by the Rev. John Fawcett, who in the
latter part Of the eighteenth century
was the pastor of a poor little church
IN Lockshire, England. His family
and responsibilities were large. his
salary was less than four dollars a
week. In 1872 he felt himself Obliged
to accept a call TO a London church.
His farewell sermon had been preach
ed six wagons loaded with furniture
and books stood by the door. His
congregation, men, women and chill.
rem were in an agony of tears. Mr..
Fawcett and his wife sat down on a
packing case and cried with the 9th.
Looking up, Mrs. Fawcett said:
oh, John, John, l cannot bear this
| know not where to go!" Nor I eth.
err said he; nor will we so. Unload
wagons and put everything back
its old place" His letter of accep.
lance to the London church was re.
called and he wrote this hymn to com.

1t is said that a flea leaps 200 times
Its height, and while it usually does
land on its feet, 1t often falls, ~especlal.
ly when it falls an a perfectly smooth
surface, where the claws can get only
a slight hold. A flea has six legs
whose great length and bulk make
them so heavy that they must be a
great help in keeping their owner
right side up and when it makes one
OF those gigantic jumps! and when n
lands upside down, or in some other
way, its ability to kick is so great
that not more than one wriggle is
needed to set things right. A fea's
wings are mere scales, and of no use.
but small and worthless as they are
they tell the entomologist something
about the proper classification Of the
insect. To the flea itself they have no

When News Travelled slnwlu

All OF us have heard legends of the
rapidly with which news Travelled be.
fore the era of telegraphs by means
which have been compared to the an.
pie thrown from hand to hand. An
event In the Napoleonic epopee clearly
illustrates how far we have progressed
IN this respect during the last hundred
years. On June IA, 1907, the meteoric
emperor defeated the Russians on the
bloody field of F~riedlcnd, capturing
10000 prisoners. Only about mid
night on Saturday, June 81, did a
courier reach st. Cloud to convey the
news to Josephine, whose feminine
mind did not penetrate the figurative
significance of the 1856 900 fusils," and
Paris only learned the news On the
afternoon of the 2Sth, when it lost no
time in throwing itself into raptures.
Ihey danced all night through in the
streets.

WENT HOME FOR WARRIOR.
Dog Evidently Had Reasoned Out the
Situation.

c. B. Shockley, who lives across the
river, was recently blowing in some
new ground near the edge of the river
hills, says an Oklahoma correspondent
OF the Kansas City Journal. He was
accompanied by a half-grown shepherd
dog. The dog in hunting went over a
small hill and soon came kiting back
with a coyote close to his heels. See.
ing the man the coyote a back and
the dog plucked courage to follow.
Out of sight of his master he weak
ened and came back over the hill with
the coyote after him. This was re-
peated several times, to the amuse-
ment of Mr.. Shockley, who offered
neither counsel nor assistance, mean
ing to e how the dog would figure it
out. He had not long to wait. The
uog sat down and seemed to think over
the situation, and then started for the
house on a keen run. He was back in
a very short time, accompanied by a
Dig dog whose reputation as a coyote
nghter raj established. The Young
Dog led the old one over the hill and
soon the coyote had disappeared.
