Judee Pepper. who had been a black
smith before he became lawyer,
sent Andrew Johnson a set Of fire
irons which he had made himself.
Johnson, then the Governor, presently
sent the Judge coat which he had
made for him. When he told my

"He refused an invitation once to
dine with A. V. Brown,a leader OF the
Democratic party in Tennessee and
afterward Buchanan's Postmaster
General, tlthough all of the guests
were to be acknowledgements, and let
them know that on that day he had
dined with waskerwoman off bacon
and cabbage.
"He made 10 seciNt Of his inlet

mother magazine containing
sketch of his life in which 1t was stat
ed that his wife. Flora McCardle, had
taught him to read after they were
married when he was 81 years
of age. He said the statement was in
accurate but substantially true; that
when they were married his wife
brought her school books TO their new
home and his study Of them aided his
education materially.

President Johnson seemed TO believe
that those who opposed him politically
would harm him in every possible
way. About 1857 his arm was broken
in a railway accident and was so badly
set by a country doctor TIT DR.. Paul

surgeon in Nashville, who WIS called

"The operation Was performed in 81

Nashville, where Johnson boarded, the
arm being pulled around q bedpost, /
and the first bedpost selected fer the
purpose WAS fluted or grooved. After |

Broke Jail Here.
POLICE CHIEF WIRES SHERIFF
Elder Grove Was Under Sen.
fenced of II Years in
Penitentiary.

Sheriff T. H. Black few days ago
received a telegram from the Chief OF
Police at Denver, Colo, asking If
Lge Grove, who escaped Jail here on
the 18th day Of May, 1909, after hav-
ing been convicted of the murder of
Emulus Wade and sentenced to TWEEN
ty-one years in the penitentiary, was
sill wanted. Sheriff Black Immediately
wired chief of police that Grove was
still very much wanted by the authori-
ties here, and also sent him a photo
graph Of Grove. Nothing further has
been heard from the inquiries and
it is not known whether Grove is
under surveillance there or not. The po-
lice chief has evidently been inform
ed by someone who knows the facts
in the case, as his telegram stated
that Grove had broken Jail and was
under sentence Of a term in the peni-
Tertiary. 1t is confidently believed
that Grove will be apprehended and
returned to this county. If he is ar
rested, Sheriff Black will be notified,
at which time he will procure requisi-
ton papers from the Governor of
Kentucky and go and bring him back.
Lige Grove is under sentence of
twenty-ore years in the penl.entiary
for the murder of Emulus Wade,which
occurred during the fall OF 1908. He
was tried at the March term of court,

Mortal Existence Ever Haunted by
Fear of Failure and Misfortune

less than sacrilegious to think of ask
ing God to be with them in all the
little commonplaces of the day. One
of the sad mistakes of mortals is the
division of affairs into secular and
sacred. The prophet wrote, Yea, ev-
cry pot In Jerusalem and in Judah
shall be holiness unto the Lord Of
hosts" There is no secular except
in the thought of mortals, all honest
work is sacred, and God is always
there. Our asking does not bring Him
to any situation, 1t only enables us
to realize His presence.
PRIDE ONLY MASK
The sick, in their suffering. have
seemed cut off from God. For their
sorrow, or their sin, they might stretch
out pleading hands and feel His tender
comforting touch, but in the dark night
of physical pain God has seemed very
far away Yet He Is very near, ana
the perfect realization of His presence
would set the sufferer free. Real and
lasting healing can be found only as
one becomes conscious that God Is al
ways with him. For God is the one
unfailing and direct supply of health,
and one must understand this in or
der to be really well.

the greater reason for loving them, as
they need 1t more. The pride and cold
ness which seem repellent may only be
the masks which hide an aching heart,
the brusqueness or irritability which
offend may be the result of pain or
suffering. Let us not judge or con-
denim, but put on more love. We do
not always need to show it in words
or deeds; it is often better to be silent,
but If our thought Is right cod Will
guide US into the best way of express
ing 1t. We shall find that the gentle
influence of loving thoughts is far more
effective in converting our brother
than thunderbolts of denunciation
which only serve to drive him to a
justification of his shortcomings. We
shall discover that the unobtrusive eX-
ample of an unselflsh life is more
potent than volumes Of arguments
which only make him cling more ten
aciously to his own opinions. When
our hearts are filed with truth and
love there will be no room in them
for unforgiveness. We shall have no
time for meddling or gossip If we are
busy purifying our own thought,
neither will we attach sin or sickness
to our brother, or prophesy failure or
want. Rather will we try always to
keep In view the spiritual man, and
when thus doing we are not apt to
interfere In the material affairs of
others, but with loving encouragement
will help them in their progress up
ward. This is practical Christian Sci
ence demonstrated in daily life.-Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

Even the most successful of mortals
are haunted by the fear of possible
failure. They have succeeded today,
shall they do so tomorrow? Their eff
forts, based upon the fluctuating and
uncertain, are subject to the chance
and change of mortal existence. Dis
couragement and dlsheartenment are
never far away from those who try
to attain and sustain success by force
of mere human will and intellect.
Nearly every one, however, relies on
some power outside of himself. And
although each may call such reliance
by different name, 1t Is upon analy-
sis really found in every case to be an
instructive reaching out to God, the
divine Principle of all life. The psalm
list says that he who is governed by
this immutable Principle "shall be like
a tree planted by the rivers of water
whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper"
"a tree planted by the rivers of
waterl" Sustained by the continual
inflow of unceasing energy, bringing
forth his fruit in his season" and
clothed in unfading verdure. "Whatso-
ever he doeth shall prospect" For, alb
solutely governed by perfect Principle,
every move is a. right one, no false
steps, no lost time, no wasted effort
No fear of failure, for the morrow Of
fers access to the unchanging Prin-
ciple of today. No chance or change,
but ever prospering endeavor, advanc-
ing to brighter heights beyond. Too
dazzling a picture, you ask? Every
true Christian believes that what the
Scripture says is true, and this Is in
effect what 1t promises.
KNOWLEDGE OFFERED
There are those who are proving by
steadily increasing degrees that this
Scriptural statement Is true. They are
learning that God is in very truth the
Principle of all life, thought and en-
deavor. Although they measure suc-
cess by q far different standard from
that of the world, yet even accord
ing to the worlds standard they out
strip the average mortal whenever
their efforts lie along the same line
as his, But the underlying purpose
of all their endeavor Is to prove that
God is consciously with them here and
now; that there is no space between
the infinite and the infinite needs OF
His child. Who would not know or
this unfailing supply? Who would not
learn with these truly successful ones!
Not any, when they clearly under
stand what is offered them. None
would sit "in the seat of the scornfuP
If they knew what they were scorn-
ing. Christian Science offers this
priceless knowledge to the world; and
those who have needed its call are
filled with loving yearning for their
brothers whose hearing seems dulled
by pain, prejudice or sin.
Perhaps to some 1t may seem hardly

certainty they would approach a clerk
and say: "I want to purchase a gold
seal ring" or a watch, or whatever
they had decided upon before leaving
home. I said to one of the men, What are
they calling for especially? EVERY
thing" came the quick response. Lock
cts. bracelets, fountain pens, perpetual
calendars, tips for pencils made Of
sterling silver, silver tea and chocolate
sets, candelabra, carving knives and
forks, napkin rings silver cups leather
goods, umbrellas, etc, etc" How
about expensive things, such as dia-
monds, pearls, black opals, etc.; are
they being called for?" Eyes, indeed;
for we are considered authorities on
such stones and our people come direct
to us for elegant stones" i stood and
watched the women, all anxious to be
waited upon first. For an hour or more
there was seething mass Of people in
this beautiful store. Everybody got
prompt attention and went away hap
py. No matter what time of day you
stop in, you find a large crowd, and all
good natured. They are willing to
await their turn, for they remember
from last year that at this very store
they got value received for every dol
lar they spent. Now, isn't that great
satisfaction? What a pleasure to the
