dwell, for all the world is familiar
with them. Sufficient is it to say that,
suffering as he was from painful,
malignant and fatal disease, he never
complained, but worked steadily on his
book, facing death with the grim cOur-
age that had always distinguished him
When he could no longer talk, he com-
municated with his friends and family
by means of a writing pad, frequently
apolcgizing for making them so much
trouble and begging them not to be dis
tressed on his account.
His disease was of such a nature
that he was unable to lie down, and so
he took his rest and did his work half
reclining in two easy chairs. Just be-
fore he died, on July %, he was car
his last on a bed.
The cottage is kept, as nearly as pos
sible, in the condition in which it was
when the general died. The clock on
the mantel, stopped by Col. Fred
Grant, at the moment his father ex-
pired, still indicates the exact moment
of his death. His favorite chair stands
near the bedside, while in the sick
room are the pad and pencil which the
general used to communicate with his
friends In the same case is the pen
with which he wrote the last of his
Memoirs.
The cottage is now the property Of
the Grand Army of the Republic, hav-

NATURE rs MANS AID.
By Rev. J. Lewis Hartrock.

The stars in their courses fought
against Sisera.-Judge V. 20.
The first lesson that we learned in
our contact with life is that in nature
great forces operate which have the
power to deliver or to destroy. Law is
iEvariable; nature is constant and man
is variable.
Our first conclusion, therefore, and
which we may learn by the Simple ex-
perience of burning our hands with
fire, is that whether things shall hurt
or not lies primarily with us. Deborah,
in that immortal poem known as "The
Song of Deborah" recounting the vic
tory of Narak and the host of Israel
over Sisera and the Canaanites, sang
1.-The stars In their courses fought
against Sisera.' This strange judgment
is the poetic statement of that which
is profoundly and eternally true. The

F., The limelight does not make the hero.
Wheat is often the best cure for
weeds.
No man receives more than he be-
lieves.
No man can preach far beyond his
real self.
It's never wise to trust the man who
trusts no one
The ills that follow our lusts are usu'

The most ridiculous coward in the
world is the man who fears ridicule.
When you are able to set your re!

life itself comes along and locks up the

DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE.
By Rev. Charles E.

By Rev. Charles E. Locke, d. D.
Text Nothing shall be impossible
to you"
Tertullian once said of an event: 1T
is certain because it is impossible" and
Richard Golden, when told that Il GER
tain thing was impossible, replied: III
that is all, let us set about it at once.
General Armstrong Of Hampton, sald4
Doing what cannot be done is the
glory Of living" and his great schools
for Indian and negro youths became
possible. Carlyle tmpatiently wrote
"Impossible 1t is not lucky wordt
Who is it says there is lion In the
way? Sluggard, thou must STAY the
lion; the way must be travelled N4fa-
beau shouted: Impossible, that block
head Of a word!'' And the great Ma
poleon Enthusiastically declared: I'm
possible! 1t is not a French word
Genius is the art Of overcoming the
impossible"
Christianity Is the art of overcoming
the impossible Impossible is, not liz
the vocabulary of the Christian. This
is the program of Jesus.
Christianity has already achieved the
impossible In the overthrow of the vast
Roman empire.
Christianity has achieved the lmpos-
sible in the final eradication of human
slavery. So, indeed, shall the day sure
ly come when nations shall not learn
war any more.
At the dedication OF the Bunker Hin
monument, when it appeared that an
accident was imminent by the surging
crowds against the speakers platform,
Webster requested the people kindly to-
move back. A man in the crowd ans
.wered: cit is impossible! Thereupon
the great Massachusetts statesman
cried out Impossible! Impossible
Nothing is impossible on Bunker Hill :!
And so let us keep near the cross. The
battle of the ages was fought there,
the freedom of the race was there
achieved. Nothing is impossible on the
Hill Of the Cross-on Calvary.

NEW YORK, March 10.--Fire imper-
He'd the heart of the Sixth avenue shop

were injured. destroyed the six-story
brick building at SO West Eighteenth
street. The big Siegel- Cooper depart

one time, and the entrances to the Hud-
son tunnels to New Jersey became con-
gested with excited passengers.
The fire also got into the adjoining
building at 80 to SO West Eighteenth
street, and before it was checked had
caused a total loss of 100000.

building and within few minutes sew

A number of persons in a four- story
boarding house escaped with consider

come filed with smoke. Window
frames in the Siegel-Cooper store
caught fire several times, but the flames
were extinguished before any serious
damage was done.

! TRENTON, March 10.-The Hahn in

House today its report covering condi-
tions as found to exist at the half dozen
State institutions Which have been SUBJ

was submitted last fall. Censure and
praise each find place in the report,
the committee having found that in
some institutions there prevail systems
and practises inimical to good govern

says. For lack Of facilities there has

Unusual interest will be taken both
De Mund in the testimony of Mrs.

Hurd, who We're benefciaries under the
VIII Of Baker. Both women were in
innate friends of the dead man and are
believed to know much of the details
of his habits and mental condition just
preceding his mysterious death.
The testimony of Mrs. Hurd is re-
garded as particularly important. as
Baker dned with her husband and her
self on the night of his death at their
home in 13ogota and later went with
them TO New York.
