Timely Advice That Shaped the Dee

to England and humanity by saying to
him: "Sir, you wish to serve God and
go to Heaven. Remember, you can
not serve Him alone. You must find
companions or make them. The Bible
knows nothing Of a solitary religion"
A few words spoken by servant maid
to Charles Wesley led him to step, be-
fore his long-struggling brother, into
life and liberty of soul. And when
Whitefield was setting out for Ameri-

you have a mind to convert Indians,
there are Golfers enough in Kings
wood" He went to the Kingswood
GOLFERS, and in his so doing the great
evangelical revival in England was
begun.

READ THE WRITER'S OF TO-DAY.
American intellectual Life Shaped by
Living Authors.

The journeymen writer's write
almost all that almost all Amer
leans read, says Walter Page in
the Atlantic. This is fact
that we love to fool ourselves
about We talk about literature"
and we talk about hack writer's" i'm
plying that the reading we do is of lit
erature. The truth all the while is,
we read little else than the writing of
the hacks-lving hacks, that is, men
and women that write for pay. We
may hug the notion that our life and
thought are not really affected by cur
rent literature, that we read the liy-
ing writer's only for unitarian reasons
and that our real intellectual life is
fed by the great dead writer's. But
our hugging this delusion does not
change the fact that the Intellectual
life even OF most educated persons,
and certainly of the mass of the popu-
lation, is fed chiefly by the writer's Of
our own time. Let us hope that the
great writers of the past do set the
standards whereby a few Judge the
writing of the present. But, even If
this be true, 1t is still true also that
the intellectual life OF the American
people is chiefly shaped by current
writing.

Wanders In Valley Two

Ell PASO, Feb. 29.-Johnny Scott,
former member of the Ell Paso po-
lice force and well known in this city,
wandering about in demented con-
dition in the chaparral near TorniIlo,
clad inl yin shirt
Last Friday VIII Davis, who is go
ing to start a wood and coal yard on
the corner Of Second and st. Vrain
streets, left here for Tornillo, where
he was going to place a gang Of Mex
leans at work getting out wood. He
took Scott with him as guide and in
terprster. They reached Tornillo Fri
day night and went into camp in the
woods near by. A force OF men had
been put to work and things had been
running smoothly until Monday night,
when Scott left the camp. His abb
sence was not noticed for some time
and nothing was thought of the mat
ter until he had been gone several
hours.
Tuesday morning he had not re-
turned, and parties were sent out to
search for him. Every yard of the
brushy country around the camp was
gone over, but without result. We'd
nesday the search was resumed in
the woods farther from the camp, and
about noon he was found some dis
lance from the wood cutters camp,
naked except for torn and ragged
shirt, He was violently insane. and
it required several of the men in the
party to hold him.
He was soon quieted, but the party
was unable to give him proper care,
and yesterday he was brought to this
city and placed in the county Jail.
Last night he was reported quiet, but
he had not yet Tegained his normal
mental condition. The madness that
comes over persons when lost in the
woods has been found very difficult
of treatment, but seldom results in
permanent insanity. Mr.. Davis came
in from Tornillo yesterday on the Tex
as & Pacific passenger train with the
patient and telephoned a request that
two or three strong men be on hand
with rig to take him to a place of
detention. When the party arrived,
however, Scott accompanied them
willingly enough and was placed in

The appointment of Mrs T. B.
Franklin as regent of the Columbus
Chapter of the Daughters Of the
American Revolution is an honor
worthily conferred upon one whose
qualifications for the position are en-
inently satisfactory, and whose ad-
ministration, marking the beginning
of the Chapters history, viii con-
tribute largely to its success. Inter
est in the work of this patriotic order
has been strengthened by the visit of
Mrs. Egbert Jones, one of the vice
presidents general, and a Mississip-
plan by adoption. AS the Mississippi
territory was not created until 1898,
and its independent statehood not
acknowledged until 1917, Mississippi
has not the rich Revolutionary his
tory of some of the older states, but
here and there within its borders are
graves of heroes of the Revolution
whose preservation and proper care
should be a sacred duty. 1t may not
be generally known that a soldier
who fought for American freedom
sleeps in our own City of the Dead,
Gen. Cooke of Virginia, who had a
distinguished career and whose re-
mains for many years rested in the
old cemetery at the foot of Main
street. Mrs. c. NJ. Williamson of
