! the kingdom which so many over
! look" IT is n kingdom which must
be gained. not simply by keeping the
golden rule or the ten commands

| a kingdom which has its origin In
the inner life of man II is a con-
| dition OF the inner bent Of the soul. DO
YOU ever stop to think Of the peculiar
tiles which we find i'm our lives .?
Sometimes men are driven to do good

holy things they once loved. They
must get to the place where they

There are three things necessary
TO conversion. First. If you want to
get into the kingdom of God, you
must consent to be Gods child for

necessary Is that we must forsake an

CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
BY w. A. MACY.
THE STATE OF FRANKLIN.

Many people do not know
there was once a State of
Franklin in the United States.
II existed for four years, from
1884 to 1898. Many emIgrants
from North Carolina had
crossed the mountains and set
tied In what is now known as
East Tennessee. The territory
belonged to North Carolina, but
the state government had not
been able to give II much atten-
tlon. Owing to financial and
other troubles North Carolina
ceded the territory to the gen.
eral government. The inhab-
ltants did not relish the Idea Of
thus being cast adrlft so uncere-
monIousIy, SO they organized a
state and set up a government
Of their own. To their new
commonwealth they gave the
name "Franklin," after the
Philadelphia philosopher. But
congress declined to recognize
the new state, and North Caro-
lima raised strong objections.
The latter withdrew the cesslon
to the government, and under
took to resume control Of the
territory. A long quarrel en-
sued between the North Caro-
lima state government and the
citizens Of "Franklin1 The
leader Of the latter was "oov-
ernor" SEWER, while a Colonel
Upton represented the former.
There wac an immense amount
Of pickering and much eonfu-
sion, but very little bloodshed.
II finally ended In North Caro-
lima resumlng control Of the ter
rltory, and "the state Of Frank
lin" was known no more.

TESTIMONY HITS ONE OF HEAD

| Chicago. Feb. 9.-Counsel in the pack
ers' trial wrangled all the morning over
| the right of the government to refer to
previous statements made by witness
John NJ Chaplin, an accountant for
Swift & Co.. in his further examination.
After overruling the form of a question
put by District Attorney Wilkerson,
| Judge Carpenter intimated that he was
inclined to allow the government to refer
| to previous statements OF the witness
| for the sole purpose of refreshing his
memory. The question to which the de-
Tense made objection was;
did you not make a statement in the
office Of the district attorney Jan. 81,
1909, that in 1908 all allowances for fat
excepting the caul and ruffied variety
were discontinued :"
Counsel argued the point for an hour,
after which the court sustained the OBJ
lection as to the form of this particular
question, without passing on the right
of the government to go into the grand
jury record District Attorney Wilker-
son declares that the witness has fatty
contradicted on the stand certain state
ments previously made.
A threat by District Attorney Wilker-
son to use the stenographic report of the
proceedings of the federal grand jury to
show that John NJ. Chaplin, witness,
was attempting to shield Charles II.
Swift, vice-president of Swift & CO.,
and one of the defendants, was followed
by additional answers by the witness
Wednesday. Chaplin, who had been on
the stand two days, said that all the in
stIuctions issued in regard to allowances
for by-products in 1907 were issued on
his own responsibility as head of the
plant accounting department of Swift 4
Co. He denied that Charles Fl. Swift
ever gave him orders in regard to fgur-
ing the test cost of beef later than 1906
District Attorney Wilkerson said that
in testifying before the federal grand jury
in January, 1909, the witness admitteti
that he received instructions from
Charles II. Swift as late as November,
1907.
Later in response to questions by
Judge Carpenter and District Attorney
Wilkerson, Chaplin admitted that he re-
ported every change in by-products al
lowances to Charles III. Swift in 1907 and
that the ce-president had knowledge
of all matters pertaining to the test
cost of beef. In view of these answers,
