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

Not one 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, it
was written by Rev. John Fawcett, who
in the latter part of the Eighteenth CEN
fury was the pastor of poor little
church in Lockshire, England. Ills fam
ily and responsibilities were large, his
salary was less than 81 week.
In 1772 he felt himself obliged to ac-
cept a call to a London church. His
farewell sermon had been preached, six
wagons loaded with furniture and books
stood by the door. His congregation,
men. women and children, were in an
agony of tears.
Mr.. Fawcett and his wife sat down on
a packing case and cried with the others.
Looking up, Mrs. Fawcett said:
"Oh, John, John, | cannot bear this!
know not where TO CO."
Nor | either" said he; "nor will we
go. Unload the wagons and put every
thing back in its old place"
His letter of acceptance to the Lon
don church was recalled and he wrote
this hymn to commemorate the episode.

cHEYENNE's PILGRIMAGE.
Impelled by Religious Belief to Revisit
Old Home in Wyoming.

After the Custer massacre on the Lit
tie Big Horn" said John III. Seger, who
has lived among the Cheyenne Indians in
Oklahoma for more than thirty years, to
an Arapaho correspondent of the Kansas
City Times, "a part of the Cheyennes
who expected to be punished severely by
the government came down here and
joined this southern band of Cheyennes
on the Washita river, near Arapaho.
The climate was new to them and the
fever and chills took away many of
them. They longed for their old asso-
ciates and haunts and determined to re-
turn.
These 900 Cheyennes, led by Dull
Knife, Wild Hog and Little Chief. scat
tered out in three bands and made the
raid. The settlers opposed their march
and the whole available military was
brought into the field against them. Had
, the Indians been allowed to pass peace
ably there would probably have been no
trouble, but every man along their path
took a shot at them and the Indians
returned the fire and several ON both
sides were killed. But the Indians ex-
hiblted remarkable ability in their march
across Kansas, Nebraska and two great
lines of railroad. Two of the bands got
through all right, but one was captured.
1T was religious craze that impelled
these Indians to go. They believed the
evil spirit was Furnishing them for run
ming away when they should have stayed
to fight it out. They religiously believed
that if they stayed here the evil spirit
would put the last one of them into his
grave.
THE authorities and the people did not
understand the movement and it resulted
badly all around. But the fact that
two of the bands got through in the
cold part of a bad winter and only one
band was captured after almost reaching
its destination showed great strategy.
When it is remembered that the women
and children were carried along with all
the camp baggage it was remarkable
march,"

X-RAY KILLS DOCTOR.
Rochester Doctor Is Fourth Victim of
Roentgen Apparatus.

The death of DR.. Weigel, a surgeon of
Rochester, from disease due to constant
use of the X-rays makes the fourth who
has lost his life from this cause. The
others were an assistant of Thomas Edi-
son, Boston physician, and a woman of
San Francisco named Fleischman In
the case of DR.. Weigel, since 1904, when
his right hand and all but the thumb
and a finger of the left hand were re-
moved, there had been four operations
trying to save his life. The first removed
a part of the right shoulder; then part
of the muscles covering the right breast
Mystery completely envelopes the cause of
death, the disease being unknown to
medical science. though it is believed to
involve some great principle of life DR..
Weigel was president of the Rochester
Academy of Medicine and the American
Orthopedic society.

COLLEGE COWBOYS AT SEA.
A lob on a Cattleboat as Means to a
Vacation Abroad

Collaborating to England is rapidly be-
coming the summer outing which, accord
ing to the Travel Magazine, nowadays
finds favor with the collegian.
From early spring of the present year
shipping agents along the Atlantic sea
board were deluged with applications
from the colleges for positions as cattle
men.
Every craft which in June put out of
Montreal. Boston, New York or Philadel-
phia with shifty cargo of steers for
the British market carried a delegation OF
highly educated youths to attend to the
wants of the longhorns. Reservations in
the forecastle became almost as common
as in the first cabin area.
The romance in the idea of donnine
corduroys and playing master to wild
western bullocks may be cited as part of
the motive for the appearance of numbers
of colIegians in the cattle pens tween
decks. Then, too, for many it was the
beef route alone which made wanderings
abroad possible.

HEARD IN WASHINGTON.

Champ Clark, according to an eX
change, is an admirer of former Con
gresham Johnson, of Indiana. He tells
this story to illustrate Johnson's skill in
debate and parliamentary procedure:
Former Congressman Johnson, of In
diana, IL debate called an Illinois Con
gresham an ass. This was unparlia-
mentary and had to be Withdrawn.
''Mr. Johnson said: L withdraw the
language, Mr.. Speaker, put l insist that
the gentleman from Illinois is out of or

"'How am l out of order?' yelled the
man from Illinois.
Probably a veterinary surgeon could
tell you,' retorted Johnson.
This was admissible on the records.
Rear Admiral Longnecker (retired), re-
marking recently on the subject of dis
content among soldiers and sailors, said
Men are often discontinued without
reason. but oftener they have good
ground for their grumDiing and it is be-
cause their officers are stupid or lazy
that conditions do not improve.
Il remember once visiting a pompous,
handsome, stupid army officer.
During my visit private approached
the officer with full cup and saucer III
his hand,
Ger, in condescending tone.
"'Captain,' said the private, saluting,

That will do, Binks.' the captain in

cup from the man, bent forward stiffiy:
and swallowed couple of mouthfuls OF
