She Didn't Dance.

In 1886 gentleman living in Hamp-
shire, England. named Samuel Bald
win. died after rather stormy and
most unhappy married life. In his will
he directed that all his vast estate be
given his wife on condition that she
should dance upon his grave from time
to time. AS the will further instructed
that his remains should be taken by
boat to the Needles and from there
cast into the sea. this. Of course. pre-
vented his widow from fulfilling the
conditions of the will and thus lost her
the property. He. however. had his
revenge for the various tempers she
had exhibited during their life to-
gether and for the remarks she often
made that she would yet dance upon
his grave" : Cincinnati Commercial

Jerusalem. April 24.-My friends, we
meet today for the worship of God in
additionally one of the most renowned
meeting places in the whole earth.
Tradition has it that this Is the same
upper room" which was owned by one
friendly to our Lord and his disciples
and who granted 1t as their meeting
place on several occasions most init
mately associated with the Inaugural

has 1t that this is the room mentioned
by St Mark in our text, where the
disciples with the Lord partook of
the last Jewish Passover Supper, after
which Jesus instituted the Eucharist
or Lords Supper as an antitypical me-
mortal. taking the place Of the Pass
over to all who accept Jesus as the
Passover Lamb-"The Lamb of God
which taketh away the sin Of the
world" John |. 29); Christ our Pass
over is slain, therefore let US keep the
feast" q Corinthians v, Z, 81.
Tradition assures us that this Is the
same room mentioned In the Book of
Acts Ii, 49, as the place where the
Apostles resided and assembled for
worship during the ten days following
the Lords ascension-the same upper

arrangement with those having 1t in

more than eighteen centuries. But

The Ions search of the past five
years in every niche and corner OF

The Democratic victories in Tues
days election have assumed land
slide proportions especially in the
east.
The Democrats, besides electing gov
ernors in New York, New Jersey, Mas

won full control of the next nationa
house of representatives. New YORK
New Jersey, New England and even
PENNSYLVANIA contributed to this re
suit. The Democratic majority in the
lower branch of congress will certainly
be more than fifty.
1t is also certain that several states
now represented in the United Sta e
senate by Republicans will send Dem
ocrats in their stead. These states N

Pennsylvania Republicans lost five
seats in congress. Although many in
dependent nominees were elected t.
the legislature, that body will remaiI

Colonel Roosevelt met his waterloo
