Not Afraid Of Assassins.

President Benjamin Harrison used to
ramble around Washington at night
by himself. Colonel Dan Ransdell, a
lifelong friend of the great Indianian,
was President Harrison's marshal of
the District of Columbia and kept in
very close touch with the president all
through his term. Colonel Ransdell
lived north of Dupont circle, quite a
mile and a half from the White House.
He ceased TO be surprised by the I'M
expected and unannounced visits made
to him by the president at various hours
of the night after General Harrison's
first few months in the White House.
Once when Colonel Ransdell remon-
strated with him against yenturing out
at night unaccompanied, admonishine
him OF the danger of assassination
General Harrison said: b
IAN assassin cannot be lodged, Dan
I am as safe from harm IN that score
while walking from the White House
TO your residence after dark and alone
as | am when receiving callers or go
ing about the city in the daytime under
the watchful eyes of detectives and
policemen. The assassin always gets
his prey when onc he makes up bis
mind TO do so. But | have no fear Of
assassination. least of all am | afraid
of being assaulted In a dark street a
night."-Washington Herald.

HIhir Translation.

At the beginning Of the nineteenth
century the Bible was current in some
forty lancuages-teday in some 400

sets Of types to print in these many
tongues. while some fifty languages

Again. to translate the Bible into one
foreign tongue is in itself a work OF
more than a lifetime very often. What
must be then the labor required to
learn some barbaric tongue which has
no writing. no characters or alphabet
of its own and to supply all den

Discomfort invariably accompanies In
action, and in its train are the other

life unbearable to herself and bring
misery to her mate. Yet II that same
woman were given something to do,
something that she felt compelled to
do, either by duty or from the sheer
love OF 1t, the mere occupation would
remove the shadows from her mind,
bring the blood coursing through her

her eyes, substitute a smile for a frown
and give that zest to life and love
