Through 1t all he prayed and prayed.
More than once as his brigade was
passing into action, he could be seen
sitting motionless upon his horse with
right hand uplifted, and while the
war columns swept by him in solemn
silence, into the fiery storm Of shot,
his lips would move in earnest prayer
as the earth trembled beneath the
thunder of cannon, and the very air
of the heavens seemed agonized with
the shrek of shell.

"You may be whatever you resolve
to be- and so he resolved and so he
won. He believed that his marvellous
victories would go on to the end of the
war, and that the southern cause
would triumph, but God willed other
wise. His victory at Charlottesville
was followed soon after by his death

fire of his own soldiers, who In

satisfaction he did His favors, know
ing it to be best AS he lay on his
deathbed conscious that his earthly
aircastles were in ruins, and that his
life was ebbing fast, he was thorough
ly resigned to his fate. When the
shadows came closer, and he realized
that the end was at hand he said as
his last words: Let us cross over
the river and rest under the shade of
the trees" So he died courageous
and trustful, noble example of the
winning OF life's battle by simple faith
and devotion to duty.

true the agitation Of the slavery ques-

which the war came; but the south

"You may talk about the difficult
ties you encounter with the customs
inspectors on arriving in New York y
said an English woman in New York
the other day, "but you will find that
worse troubles Of the kind accumulate
for YOU in certain parts of Europe. Es.
pecially is this apt to be true on the
Austrian border.
II was coming up from Turkey on
my way to Paris few months ago.
Owing to the fact that my cousin, who
had been travelling with me, could
not get away from Constantinople,
had to make the journey alone.
"The train on which I Travelled
is supposed to be one of the finest in
Europe, but most of the way to Wen
ma it stops every few minutes. they
told me the reason was that they had
been unable to get enough coal to
start with and that these stops were
necessary to get fuel. Apparently
they took on about shovelful at each
station.
I'VE reached the Austrian frontier
about two o'clock in the morning, and
then uniformed customs officials went
through the train routing out every
body. They wouldn't let the women
dress, and l had to hurry out with
nothing on but dressing gown, and
the night was cold, too. We were
huddled in a room in the station anc
our hand luggage was brought out
while every compartment in the train
was searched. Then they made US
open our bags and satchels.
"The man who attended to my lug
gage was a very disagreeable sort of
person. He insisted upon my opening

it took some time to get the top off,
When he had removed that and re-
vealcd another wooden box the official
swore. Then when he had got the
top of the second box there was the
tin. He spoiled the blade of his knife
cutting that open and then when he
came to the Turkish delight he was
disgusted.
"Of course l laughed in his face
Then he refused to pack the boxes
again, but I insisted, threatening him
with all sorts Of things about appeal

on, so he finally turned in and did as

WHY NEW ORLEANS
CITY ie LOGICAL POINT FOR
WORLDS PANAMA EXPOSITION.
Its Geographical Position and Many
Other Considerations Mark It a.
Most Suitable Spot for Dedi-
cation of Great Work.

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal
In 1915 shall be celebrated with a
great International Exposition in
which all tho nations of the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition Is to be held
will be settled by Congress at its ap-
preaching session.
New Orleans and San Francisco
are contesting for the honor of hold
ing this Exposition, and both cities
have guaranteed immense SUMS Of
money as an evidence Of their ability
to finance so great an enterprise.
An Exposition worthy Of the term
worlds Fair" such as New Orleans
proposes to build, will be a great ed
ucatiOnal movement. It's success as
such. however, will depend entirely
upon the percentage Of our popula-
tton who can secure its educational
advantages, this in turn, depends up
on its location, as the time in travel
ing to and from the Exposition, and
the cost In railroad and Pullman
fares, are the most important factors.
Considering these matters, New
Orleans claims to being the 'Logi-
cal Point" for this Panama Exposi-
tion, seem to be fully substantiated
by the following facts:-
New Orleans is 500 miles from the
center of population In the United
States. San Francisco is $500 miles
distant therefrom.
Within radius Of 500 miles from
New Orleans there are 17,500,000
people. Within the same radius from
San Francisco there are only 100000.
Within radius of 1000 miles from
New Orleans, there are 65,000,OO0.
Within the same radius from San
Francisco there are only 100000.
At an average Of 900 miles from
New Orleans, there are 70 of our
principal cities with a combined
population of 20,000,000. Averaging
900 miles from San Francisco there
are only 8 large cities, with a COM
btned population of just 100000.
The average distance of all these
cities to New Orleans is 792 miles,
to San Francisco 2,407 miles.
Over Is per cent. Of the people of
the United States could go to an
Exposition there at an average ex-
pense for railroad fare Of $3.50, as
against an average of $3.50 to the
Pacific Coast: and for several mil
lions Of our people, the Pullman
fare and Dining Car expenses alone,
for trip to San Francisco, would
amount to more than all their trans
portation expenses for a trip to New
Orleans
This Is an important public ques-
tion to be settled by Congress at the
session which convenes in December.
Many Of our readers will wish to
visit this Worlds Panama Exposi.
ton, and II held in New Orleans a
great many more could spare the
time and money for the trip than
could 60 to San Francisco. There
fore. we urge our r'readers to write to
the two senators from this State and
the congressman from this district,
requesting them to support New Or

Became Devout Christian.
So far Jackson had not given deep
study to religious subjects, and had
little knowledge of creeds. When he
returned to the United States at the
close of the Mexican war, he became
intensely concerned in Christianity,
and joined the Episcopal church.
From that time forward his every act
was characterized by extreme piety
He is quoted as having said that two
hours was as long as he could go
without communing with his Maker
in prayer. Conscientiousness was one
of his marked traits, and duty was to
him of first consideration. His rev.
erence of the Deity was that of the
standard of perfection and of the
source Of authority. He believed in
special Providence, and was errone-
ously called fatalist by some. His
abiding trust and simple faith were
those of child. He never questioned
the why's and wherefores Of Provi-
dence but ferveEtly prayed for every
thing and was satisfied with what oc-
