Fearful Su1Ierfngs OF q Martyr
Were Preserved 1Or Modern
Generations.

Neither shall 1 dwell on the
governors palace which we
visited, though it is set in Q fair
garden; nor on the museum,
with the exception of just one
thing, says Albert Bigelow
Paine, in Outing. That one item
is, l believe, unique in the
worlds list of curiosities. 1t is a
plaster cast of the martyr
Geronimo in the agony of death.
The Algerians put Geronimo
in soft mass of concrete, which
presently hardened into a block
and was built into a font. This
was in 1869, and about 40 years
late: Spanish writer described
the event and told exactly how
that particular block could be
located,
The fort stood for nearly 800
years. Then, in 1868, it was
torn down, the block was identi.
fed and broken open, and an al.
most pest perfect mold of the
dead martyr was found within.
They filled the mold with plaster,
and the result--a wonderful
cast lies there in the museum
to day, face down as be died,
hands and feat bound and
straining, head twisted to one
side in the supreme torture of
martyrdom. 1t is a grewsome
fascinating thing and you go to
look at it more than once, and
you slip out between times for a
breath of fresh air.
Remembering the story and
looking at that straining figure,
you realize little of the need he |
must have known, and your lungs |
contract and you smother and
hurry ont TO the sky and sun
and God-given oxygen of life. He
could not have lived long, but
every second of consciousness
have been an eternity of horror,
for there is no such thing rs time
except as to mode of measure. |
nent, and q measurement such
as that would compass ages un.
If l lived in Algiers
and at any time should sprout q
little bud of discontentment with
the present state Of affairs-a Lit.
lie sympathy with the subjugsted
population would 60 and take
3 look at Geronimo, and forth
with all the discontentment and
the sympathy would pass away
and 1 would come out glosting in
the fact that France can crack
the whip and that we of the west
can ride them down.

stopped in Keytesville Sunday
morning. They are making the
trip for the purpose of writing q
book which will be called the
''Inter. State Wheelmen's Travel.

the roads have been fairly good
all the way except in parts of
Kansas. They intend to follow
direct line from Kansas City to
Toledo, Ohio, staying close to
the Wabash railroad all the way.
The route does not take in ST.
Louis or Chicago. Kelly claims
to be familiar with the roads east
of the Mississippi river, which
he says are good, and which will
allow the travellers to make much
better time than they can make
through this state. He also said
that Colorado roads were much
better than either Kansas or
Missouri roads. After q short
rest of about fifteen minutes the
wheelmen started for Sails bury.
They left Denver about month
ago, but stopped over in Kansas
City for two weeks.

fans of the city, and outside OF

the game was q clean, fast, in

first stopped tanning and seemed
to take an interest when Hans
man, who was allowed to go to
the first cushion on balls, stole
second and third. Chapman
sacrificed and Hsnsman scored.
That happened in the second
inning and the third also brought
in another tslley that was disas-
ferrous to the visitors. Coleman
got to first on balls and stole
second. White scored him with
q single.
1t was three men up and three
down after that until the seventh.
Schell got a single and Coleman
brought him in with a three
bagger. The score was three to
nothing and it stayed that way
up until the last half OF the
eighth. 1t looked like shut. out
for the Huntsville aggregation
but something happened in the
ninth. One man was down when
Smith of Huntsville got single.
Coffin came to bat and lined out
q three bsgger. Sneed scored
Coffin with q sacrifice hit. Per.
kins knocked q fated fly out to
centerfield, for Chapman was
there waiting and the little sphere
fell right into the sack, cutting
off Huntsville's last chance to tie
the score.
A nice little double play in the
fourth inning was made by
Thrash and Coleman. Buff Of
Huntsville sent g hot grounder
down to Thrash on second, who
threw the bali to Coleman at
third, catching Coffin who was
running from second. Coleman
got the ball over to first in time
to get Buff.

The country church is married to the
country community. She is sensitive
to anything which has affected the
country community. These two have
not always maintained their ties and
obligations. The colnmunity has
sometimes sulked, and scarce spoken
to the church for a period. The
church has limited her services to a
few and narrowed her love to drv.
formal city She has ministered
sometimes to calling list, not to the
town. But it still remains that one
call that can bring the country COM
munity outstanding, all together, is
the call of religion.
The church is the sensitive register
OF the social life and the economic
condition of the people. People talk
about the church being narrow; if so,
It is because that community is narrow.
When the community is broad-minded
and large hearted the church is demo-
cratic and progressive. When the
community is aristocratic, the church
is proud. What more can you expect?
Shall not two who are joined in vital
bonds agree
Three phases of community expert
ence in America have written them
selves deeply into the church. They
are the experience of the promoters,
OF the exploiters, and OF the cultivators
