THE WORD PARADISE.
its Earliest Meaning Was an Enclosed
Pleasure Ground.

its Earliest Meaning Was an Enclosed
Pleasure Ground.
The earliest meaning of the word
paradise appears to have been a wall
ed in pleasure ground. In the Hebrew
it was "perdes,y' in the Persian fer
dus," and from one or other of these
the Greeks appear to have derived the
word "'paradeisos." from which we get
our own word. We also know that the
ancient monarchs OF Chaldea and As
syria and also Of Egypt constructed
vast Enclosures of forest land for the
preservation OF wild animals kept for
hunting purposes, and these were also
called parsdises. Thus the historical
meaning of the word comes to this: A
space protected from all incursion
from the outer world, in which those
who were privileged to enter were
able to indulge in such pleasures as
pleased the fancy.
1t is easy to see the translation from
the material to the spiritual meaning,
paradise in the latter sense meaning
the place of the elect or chosen. This
is strikingly borne out by the fact that
the favorite battlecry Of the Moslems
whose firm belief it is that those who
die fighting go straight to heaven, was
always Flight! Fight! Paradise! Par
adlsew And the strong probability is
that they got the word from the Per-
sian campaigns Of the eighth century.
The use OF the word in its present
form in the New Testament is of
Greek origin, and its description as
applied to the garden Of Eden is prob
ably of Hebrew origin. dating from
the period Of the captivity.

THROWS SHOE AT JUDGE
Suffragette Hurls Its Mate at Clerk
of the House.

Aberdeen. Scotland. Nov. 30.-Mil-
liant suffragettes today brought about
two scenes of extreme violence in
which a woman's shoes and a horse
whip were used as wea Eons.
The first outbreak occurred when
three of the women, Joyce Locke,
Fanny Parker and Mary Pollock, who
had been caught last evening in pos
session of explosives in the music
hall where Chancellor Lloyd George
was to speak. were brought up before
the magistrate.
After hearing the evidence the
magistrate remanded them for further
inquiry AS he informed them of
this Joyce Locke removed her shoes
and hurled one Of them ar the magis-
trate's head and then threw the other
at the head of the clerk of the court.
She was promptly committed for con-
tempt of court.
The second outrage was committed
by one of the membe of q party of
suffra gettes who were waiting at the
railroad station for the departure of
Chancellor Lloyd George. The wom-
an mistook the Rev. Forbes Jackson
for the chancellor of the exchequer
in disguise and dashed him across the
face with a heavy horse whip. She
was at once arrested.

Mcmillan will probably be placed in

short time he expects to live. Although
the negro was servant to some chap
lain in the Civil war, he receives neither
pension nor income of any kind; he
cannot remember the number of his
regiment, nor where it was recruited.
DR. Stewart has condemned the old

the board of health to burn it. 1t is

Aged Negro Found in His Shack

Afflicted With LOatheSOme Dis

Albert Mcmillan. an old colored man,
Servant of a chaplain in the Civil war,
was recently found half starved in a
shack near sand hill in North To-
peka- The man is in the most re-

friends, the old man was in the most
pitiable condition imagina bic.
Mcmillan, who is a familiar character
to people on the North Side is Y years
old, and has been suffering from the
tortuous disease for five seasons. The
eczema made its first appearance in an
abrasion caused by a blister on the
heel, and has reached such advanced
stages that the flesh is dropping from
the bone.
He has been living in a howell at sos
North Clay street for q. number of
years. His wife died last spring, and
his daughter, a grown woman, desert

Since her desertion and disappear

nor medical attention. Negroes who
were aware of his condition OCCASION
ally carried him something to eat and
gave him crude attention. The old
mans left leg is nearly eaten away
with disease, and his whole appearance
became SO repelling that his friends
finally ceased to come.
Mcmillan was found in an ancient
rocking chair. his injured foot resting
on a box. An old bed. reekfne with
filth and germs. stood in one corner of
the room. This was all the furniture
in the house, except a wrecked stove
