THE LAST LETTER
WRITTEN BY CHRIST
IT IS ALLEGED

A letter alleged to have been
written by Christ following His cru
cifixion is being published all over
The country. It is said to have
been His last letter and is surround
ed by rather hazy history. 1t is
said to have been found beneath a
stone. at the foot of the cross, the
stone bearing the words, blessed is
he who shall turn me over" The
stone was passed by for a long time
until a child turned it over and
made the discovery.
The story is that the child who
found 1t passed III to one who be-
cam a convert OF the Christian faith.
He kept it however, as a sacred me-
mento OF Christ, and it passed
down in his family for more than one
thousand years. They migrated to diff
ferent countries until one OF them
came to America, bringing the let
ter with him. Fianlly the last mem
her of the family, a daughter, ap-
preached her death bed and called a
neighbor, Mrs, Thompson, giving her
the letter and related Its history for
more than one thousand years. The
Thompson woman began the effort
to have it published and first ap-
peared in the Rome, Ca, Tribune.

He is able to meet organization with
organization. Probably the selling
system available to-day is as near
perfect as anything can be. For tn
stance, Ut does away with the pos
sibility that he will not find a buy
er when he sends his stuff to mar
ket. Organization has done that for
him. First--Iby offering Strengthening
and cold storage capacity at various
points so the stock can be slamgh-
tered and cooled without loss. II 1t
we're not for this there would be con-
gestdon at the live stock markets ev--
cry time the supply came in heavier
than usual.
Without going into the matter
of market prices and how they are
fixed by the law of supply and de.
mand, the fact is, that the live
stock shipper thus has an Outlet for
his stock that is not regulated by
the amount of stock ait the receiv-
ing points ON any given day, nor by
the daily consumption of the public.
Organization distributes the beef,
mutton and pork as fast as they are
wanted and thus keeps the market
open for more. Thts same organdza-
tion also keeps the buying end OF the
business i'm a state of perfect effect
iveness; the buyers being organized
to make the most OF each days mar
ket. With telegraphic communica
'tion with all other markets and years
of experience, these buyers know Just
when to put the pressure ON that
would regulate prices ID
''And this is where organized sell
ing comes in. 1t is the salesman
with an organization like the Nationa
Live Stock Commission Company be-
hind him that cam meet the buyers
on even terms. He also knows the
market elsewhere and knows where
to find buyers for his special CON
sienments, knows how to meet the
situation, not only with his own abil-
ity but through organized system.
Thus the live stock shipper of to-
day can utilize organization to fight
organization and he is doing It, as
live stock profits show.

conclude that domestic disturb
ances" are not unknown in the
Longworth household:
Washington, Dec. 5-Representa-
tive Nicholas Longworth called at
the White House to assure the pres
dent that although there will be a
Democrat in Congress from the
Longworth district in Cincinnati,
all is once more peace in the Long
worth family. Mr.. Longwerth said
Mrs. Longworth, who as all the
world knows, was Miss Alice Rose
welt, took a cool thousand dollars
out of the Longworth family treas
ury and bestowed it upon the Bull
Moose party as free gift. While
this was going on Mrs. Longworth,
the congressman's mother, was ex-
pressing an opinion of Mr.. Long
worth's father-in law which was
more forcible than complimentary.
In his effort to keep on speaking
terms with both branches OF the
family Longworth got so nervous
that he forgot how to campaign ana
in consequence he lost his district,
After the election Mrs. Longworth
Sr. was satisfied with RooseveIt's
defeat and Mrs. Longworth Jr, vast
satisfied with the defeat of a Taft
congressman, and peace was fully
restored.
