q observe that among some prominent members of Congress there is a disposi- tion to charge me with an attempt to win the south over to republicanism and a somewhat contemptuous expression of opinion that this is utterly impossible To them I would say that I am not hopeful of winning the south over as they say, but that the south has sue ceeded in winning me. For never have I had a more cordial reception in any part of the country or of the world than during my present visit to Georgia, and as it Is entirely without responsibility for making Georgia differently politically from what she is, and as am on vaca- ton in which I have little to do but en- joy myself and make a cabinet. I am not in the slightest degree worried over the prophecies of failure which I see oc- casonally in interviews with prominent southerners, and this is because there is no room for failure in my visit to this country. I came here for rest and recreation and I have had both and I have found warm and cordial reception and patriotic respect for the office into which am soon to be inducted. In- deed, while MT. Roosevelt is laboring in Washington under the responsibilities of his great office, am enjoying the respect, attention and hospitality that patriotic Americans extend to the office, without at present carrying it's burdens. A walk of four miles around IS holes of golf is all that need to keep the pres- idential body in condition. whereas Mir. Roosevelt in his anxious desire to nerve the army up to what its members should be able to do under stress, must ride 30 miles in IA or 15 hours.

cause he was not at the naval battle Of
Santiago. The Allyns trace their ancestry
back to four splendid brothers who were
killed in the same battle in the Revolu-
tionaTy war.
But the soul of a quiet, gentle farm
home is shortly to be torn to pieces for
analysis in the courts of Wayne county,
New York, to prove that Georgia Allyn
Sampson, the attractive, well bred, well
educated girl-wife of Harry Sampson, did
not murder her husband.
Every habit, custom, secret, all the
blessed, sweet little intimate things that
make home life almost sacred, are to be
laid before the gaze of the jury and the
public to save this frightened girl from
the electric chair.
This is the story:
Harry Sampson, nephew of the late
Rear Admiral Sampson. five years ago,
when he was % met Georgia Allyn, then
10. 1t was love at first sight, and within
six months, while on a sleigh ride, they
were married at a parsonage.
Harry left the home of his father, Geo.
A. Sampson, In the town of Palmyra, and
went into the country to live in the home
of his father-in-law, Frank Allyn. 1t is a

and she told him, in sympathy, that II
was a letter no married woman should
receive.
AS Frank Allyn departed for the cream
cry with the milk. Harry, who was at
the sink in his own kitchen, said to him;
You take my things. I won't live
with this girl any longer I'll die first. .
Was this a suicides threat? The jury
is to decide.
Before leaving, Mr.. Allyn ordered his
daughter TO go upstairs, and told Frank
not to do anything until he had come
back from the creamery.
Wen talk it over then" he said.
Georgia went upstairs.
( A few moments afterward Mrs. Allyn,
who was on the other side of the house,
heard a screaming. 1t sounded like man
crying, "Oh, oh, oh!''
She ran to the front room and met
Harry. His hands were folded across
his breast. He was gasping and stagger-
ing. Then he fell, full length on the
floor at her feet, dead. A 22-caliber rife
bullet had stopped his heart. g
A moment later Georgia came running
into the room.
Fer brother Frankie, Is, says he heard
her running downstairs moment after
the shooting. If he can prove this to the
jury, he will save his sister.
Georgia did all she could, and held the
dead mans head in her lap. while she
wept.
The rife was found leaning in a cor
ner. near the stairway up which Georgia
had gone, and which Harry had passed

dead. The hammer was cooked. The eject

The shooting had been done in the pan

fine, magnificent old farm. The father
and Carl and Frank, his sons, together
with plenty of hired men, operated 1t.
The young couple brought new cheer 10
the home and all were happy when, three
years ago, a little girl baby came into
the side of the house that the old folks
had set apart for the young couple. The
baby died within nine weeks and the
kindly old grandma sent the bereaVed
little mother to the Bible for comfort.
But somehow even the Bible didn't
help. Georgia sought relief in social &C
tivities. She went often to parties and
fairs But there was no evil said against
her.
One day Georgia received note from
Robert Manson, of Rochester, an old
friend. This note asked Georgia and a
girl friend of hers to meet Manson at
Buffalo and spend a day at Niagara Falls.
1t has subsequently developed that Man
SON had in mind the courtship of the 9TH
er girl.
But Harry couldn't understand It,
The fateful Sunday morning of Novem-
Der l. 1908, came upon the Allyn home.

Harry arose Sunday morning he was still

while make you something hot to drink.
You're all in" After time he continued,
as he busted himself about his task:
Say, you ought to be glad to get me-;
I've got lot of money, or will have, and
once you're Mrs. Runnion, nobody'l ever
know about this OF think of you as a
suuaw" He talked to her while he wait
ed for the water TO boil, his assurance
robbing her of hope, for she saw he was
stubborn and reckless determined to
override her will as well as to conquer
her body, while under his creed, the
creed of his kind, a woman was made
from the rib of man for his service. He
conveyed 1t to her plainly. He ruled
horses with a hard hand, he drove his
dog teams with a biting lash, and he
mastered women with a similar lack of
feeling or consideration.
He was still talking when the girl
sprang to her feet and sent a shrill cry
out over the river but instantly he was
up and upon her, his hand over her
mouth. while she tore at it, screaming
the name of Poleon Doret He silenced
her to a smothered, sobbing humble and
turned to see, far out on the bosom of

HAVANA, March 4.-The American col
only here has received with mixed emo
tions the news of the introduction in
congress of a bill for the recovery OF the
wreck of the Maine and its dead. Pre-
sumably the bill was prompted by Cover
nor Magoon's final address, although he
had been here more than two years with
out acting IN the matter.
Possibly congress doesn't know that the
wreck of the Maine doesn't belong to the
United States. During the first American
occupancy of some three years absolute
ly nothing was done to raise the Maine.
and when the provisional government
withdrew the new republic of Cuba was
informed that the United States relin-
quished all claims to the wreck. Presum-
ably the dead sailors went with the ship.
The Cuban government advertised the
wreck for sale, to be removed by the pur-
chaser. One man bought it, or went

So it was in the days of Daniel, and
so It is to-day.
At such time he who walketh the
pathway of rectitude and honor will
eventually bring those who would do
him evil into the snare of their own
devices.
Our story begins at the time in the

had been shown great honor my him.
This was the reward of faithful serv.
ice and the exercise of that great
Wisdom which God had bestowed upon
him because he had chosen to serve
God in the presence of the heather
court.
Naturally the preferment which was
shown to Daniel by the king excited
the envy and hatred of the princes
and chief men of the realm and they
sought for occasion against him.
Now 1t came to pass that as the
king went in daily to adore the great
god Bel which had been set up in the
temple at Babylon, that he noted that
Daniel went not thither and he asked
him concerning the matter, saying:
'Why dost not thou worship Bel?"
Because may not worship idols
made with hands, but the living God, .
replied Daniel. earnestly,

BEL AND THE

Story Of Their Destruction
by Daniel
BY THE HIGHWAY AND BYWAY"
PREACHER

Based on the Apocryphal book,
The Destruction of Bel and the
Dragon"
The Book as Part OF Daniel-The orig
inal text OF the Book of Daniel and the
Greek TRANSACTIONS OF the same differ in
that the latter contain several insertions
and additions, among them being this
eleventh book of the Apocrypha, known
as 1.-THE History of the Destruction Of
Bel and the Dragon" Such is the Song
OF the Three Holy Children" which DIFF
fcrs from the History OF Susanna" and
the book under consideration, in that the
former is incorporated In the midst or
the text OF Daniel, while the two latter
mentioned appear more distinctly as APP
pendices, and offer no semblance OF form
ing part Of the original text. The His
tory Of Susanna" Cor THE Judgment Of
Daniel'O is generally found in the begin
ming Of the book; though It also occurs
after the twelfth chapter OF Daniel. The
History OF the Destruction Of Bel and the
Dragon" is placed at the end OF the
book; and the Xxx version II bears a
special heading as part Of the prophecy
OF Habakkuk. Various conjectures have
been made as 70 the origin OF the addi-
lions, and Il has been supposed that they
were derived from Aramic originals, but
the character OF the additions themselves
indicate rather the hand OF an AleXan-
drine writer 1t is also not unlikely that
the translator OF Daniel wrought up ira
dtions which were already current and
appended them to his work.
