 In all this never was Mir Saunders In the least daunted nor was his mask power the least exposed, His cooness was equalled only by the vigor of his opponent. In nothing passive but always foreefnl and brave, he lent mghtiness of strength by a serenity that challenged the admiration of the sturdiest opponent. In the gage and stress of conflict his thought flowed without the least break in it's coherency and without the slightest disconcerted- ness. His equable temper never forsook him. To each contest he would bring tho same tranquil boise and it was maintained throughout. Without hesitation he would face unhlinking the severe ordeals to which he was subjected in the stormy legislative days when he moved giant

Saunders would have graeed higher station in the affairs of statecraft than that which he held, ana in wider orbit would have afforded an easier play of hls strength. Dropping oue of politics for short while. he became a. commission merchant in Mobile, but in 1s45 he was appointed to the post of the collector of the port of Mobile, by Presi- dent Polk. and after the expiration ori his term of office he was on the electoral ticket in the campaign which resulted in the election of Pierce and King. Wealthy and hospitable, his was a. typical southern home of the long ago.
 A devout Christian philosopher and sedate statesman to which were added the qualities of superior man of busL-l ness, the usefulness of Hon. James>h-s Saunders was incalcuable.

 This condition continued till there ap- peared on the scene William M, Murphy of Greene. A trained lawyer accustomed to the rough and tumble of the court room, naturally endowed with many strong points needed in an emergency like that which confronted his party in the legislature, as fully conscious of power as the leader of the opposition. and more disposed to yearn for a gladiatorial com bat than to spurn 1t. Mr. Murphy was full panoplied as leader of the whig party.

CHANGING AND THE CHANGEI ESS-By The Rev. Sam P

HNHERE are changing and changeless
 conditions to which we are related

There is no1ning more beautiful than an infant in its mothers arms, but the joy of tie mother finds in that infant is that it will giow It would be pitiable to see mother carrying in her arms and hug ing to her bosom an infant of 70 or Jl years of age.
 The experience of each day is different from that of every other day. If our lines were fixed in grooves and stamped with changelessness life would be almost unbeaarbly monotonous with its daily repetitions. We go forth each day with erough uncertainty and expectancy to give zeSt in our pursuits.
 Changelessness is a peerles quality when

HAROLD BELL WRIGHT is a peo-

He has chosen for his own the local color of the Ozarks. and the more of himself there is in his pages, so much the more tang there is of the mountain air and tumble of the noun tain streams.
