ton. by declaring his belief that the
prisoner was insane and unfit to confer
with counsel opened the way for the
appointment Of commission to deter
mine Thaw's sanity. DR.. Hamilton's
fame as an alienist is worldwide. and
he is often called in consultation in
Europe in the treatment of nervous
diseases. But be is best known to the
public as the expert who testified for
the government in the trial of Guiteau
the assassin of Garfield, and who was
called to pass on the sanity of CZol-
goSz, the assassin of Mckinley. There
is another reason why he is q man of
special public interest, and that is con-
nected with his descent from the hero
and statesman of the Revolutionary
era, Alexander Hamilton. The story of
his ancestry brings out some striking
condolences.
DR.. Hamilton was born in New York
in 1913 and is a grandson of the great
Federalist His paternal grandmother,
the widow Of Alexander Hamilton, who
was daughter of General Philip
Schuyler, lived until he was six years
of age. She was born in 1857, lived
through the stirring times of the Revo-
luton and of the war of 1912 and died
within but three years of the century
mark, when the air was full of the ap-
preaching storm over the question Of
slavery and dissolution of the Union.
Alexander Hamilton and his wife
had two sons named Philip This curl
GUS fact is explained by another fact
still more curious. Their first SON.
Philip, was born in 1882. When he
grew to manhood he attended Column
bia college, which his renowned father
had attended before the outbreak of
the Revolution. when it was still

Ash Pit For Every House.

Among the objects that invaria-
bly, attract the attention of tourists
In Denver are the ash pits at every
house. These are made necessary
by the character of the coal common
ly used for domestic purposes and
by the high winds that prevail.
The ashes of the Ignite coal, so
extensively burned, hold the heat
for an extraordinary length of time,
remaining red hot for many hours,
or, If kept from the air, for days af-
ter passing through the CRATE bars.
1t is evident that ii these red-hot
ashes were thrown out in back yards
or vacant lots, the high winds that
sweep across the plains would scat
ter them broadcast, making them a
constant menace to the eyes and
clothing of passersby, as we'll as TO
inflamable property of every kind.
Every house is, therefore, required
by city ordinance to be provided with
an ash pit, shaped like an old-fash-
loned bake oven, with small openings
at the top, through which the ashes
are thrown. Another opening in one
side at the bottom permits their re-
moval when pit is full.--Kansas City

Passages for reference: Psa. sc. 8;
John 20. 81; Cor 4. 10; Gal. 2. 20;

All Gods relations with man, so
far as We know them, have to do
with life. Jesus came that we "might
have life, and have it more abundant.
ly." HE that hath the Son hath
life; and he that hath not the Son OF
God hath not life" The Bible was
given to man to tell him of the way
of life. John wrote his gospel, he
tells us. that 'they might have life
through his name" Not only does the
life come through Christ at the be.
ginning but it is maintained only
through him. Paul emphasizes this
when he says in Galatians, Il am
crucified with Christ; nevertheless ]
live; yet not /, but Christ liveth in
me; and the life which ! now live in
the flesh / live by the faith of the
Son Of God, who loved me. and gave
himself for me-" Jesus said, "Verily,
verify, say unto you, He that heareth
my WOiuS anu DNiiChClu Ou lilelN
sent me, hath everlasting life. and
shall not come into condemnation;
but is passed from death unto life"
In the sixth of John there is the
strongest statement that in some way
our life is only through him: "As the
living Father hath sent me, and l live
by the Father; so he that eateth me,
even he shall live b. me-" "Whoso
eateth my flesh, and drinketh my
blood, hath eternal life"
The life of the body is a present
reality, death is future certainty.
The soul may be either dead or alive
at the present time. Which it is, in
the Scripture sense, is determined by
our relation to Christ. If we have a
faith that takes hold on him, we live;
If no personal faith that appropriates
him. then we are dead ''He that
hath the Son hath life"

into a spiritual state by their activi-
ties In the things of the church They
seem to think that physical energy
and enthusiasm can in some way pro-
duce life, but it simply cannot be.
cause the spiritual life is from above.
The soul must personally trust in
Him who said, ''He that believeth on

life is not inherited. 1t is the re-
suit OF personal reliance on Christ.
