Patriotism,

The priest of the Servian Orthodox
church at Wilmerding, Pa, made a
Memorial day address In the town
cemetery last spring. At the close Of
his speech In Servian he said in Eng
lish:
Il deem 1t my hottest duty to kiss
this consecrated ground upon which
your heroic ancestors shed their blood,
and in which their bones are laid to
rest deem 1t my Christian duty to
offer God a prayer for the repose OF
their souls, just as If they were my
own blood"
Then he kneeled, kissed the ground
and offered a prayer for the repose
of those who died for their father.
land. When he arose he said: GLORY
to the dead soldiers. and prosperity
to the American people"
The incident was related by Peter
Roberts, director of the immigration
work for the Y. M. G. A., to group
of Kansas City men at the association
rooms yesterday. 1t emphasizes once
more the fact that Americanism Is q
matter of the spirit, not Of the blood.

WHY YOUTH BOOSTED CARY
New Reason Advanced for Advocating
Election of Candidate for Pc
Iitical Office.

There are many reasons advanced
by friends of political candidates why
their favorite should be elected to Of
flee, some Of which are humorous as
is the following:
Nearly a year ago, Congressman
William j. Cary announced his can
didacy for the office of mayor at the
next election, and Immediately his
friends started boosting him for the
lob" Whenever they could get a
man "cornered" they would immedi-
ately expound the virtues OF Mr.. Cary.
A little boy approached a voter near
the Northwestern depot.
Say, mister, will you vote for Mr..
Cary for mayor" he asked.
well, seeing as how you were kind
enough to ask me, will, my little
man." returned the man good-natured-
ly.
Thanks" said the little boy hap
PLY, and he started to walk away.
The man, however, stopped him with
d question.
"You seem to be interested in Con-
gresham Cary?" he said.
"Yep." answered the kid"
"How does it happen that you are
out working for his election as mayor,
and why do you ask me to vote for
him."
'Oh, he's good fellow. He used to
go with my mother before she married
my father"

WILL BOLSTERED HIS CREDIT
! His Creditors Get Wise to
! His Trick.

Credit men In the wooden trade are
discussing an interesting bankruptcy
case that was recently compounded
out of court at settlement of about
rs cents on the dollar; and some of
the credit men, autobiographically
reminiscent are bewailing the fact
that, to avoid the slang Of other
trades, ga victim is born every min
ute" These are the credit men who
credited.
It seems that well-known jobber
in woolens became i'll some months
ago and grew worse and worse until,
finally, the men in the trade heard
that he was dying. About that time
the jobber sent for lawyer who
is credited with doing about half of
the litigation of that most litigious of
trades. The jobber, grooming heavily,
made his will. He disposed of about
100000 in it. Some went to charity,
some went to old business friends,
and little went to the jobber's own
family.
Soon afterward turn for the bet
ter set in in the jobber's condition.
Presently he was walking briskly
about his business again. buying now
from this mill, now from that-but
always buying. He bought so much
that several credit men became FESTIVE
under his orders and began to consid-
er the wisdom Of holding back ship
ments on terms more akin to cash.
One of them, however, happened to
mention his suspicious to the lawyer
who had drawn up the jobber's will.
"Have no fear" the lawyer reas-
sured him, adding, by way Of conf
dence, 81 myself had an altogether
erroneous notion of his finances until
several weeks ago when he was i'll.
At that time I drew up his will for
him, and was amazed at the extent of
his fortune" And he divulged more
condolences.
Good news travels Just as fast as
bad news in the wooden trade, and
presently every credit man in the
business knew Of the jobber's will and
his 100000. And the jobber contin-
ued to buy and buy, and buy still
more, on ever easier terms. Then,
when he had bought enough, he failed,
and that, too, in almost as respectable
figure as the fortune In his late re-
puted will.

Had Faith In the Wireless.

Demonstration OF the practical use
OF wireless telegraphy on water was
first made just twelve years ago be-
tween the Needles on the English
coast and the incoming steamship st.
Paul. The world doubted, but Mar
conf was positive. The st. Paul was
sixty-five miles off the coast when the
first connection was established. The
wireless can now flash its message
over the ocean fully 5000 miles.

A HIGHLY RESPECTED GENTLEMAN

The passing of Mr.. Stanton Wosl-
bridge removes from Russell county
one of her best and most popular citi-
zens. The end suddenly came at his
home, near Sewellton. last Thursday
morning. He was fifty-seven years old
and was born and reared in Russell
county where every body was his friend
and he was friend to every body. He
was jovial, and in disposition, kind, and
one of the most devoted men to his
family the writer ever know-a Christ
ian gentleman, one who will BE greatly
missed from the affairs of his native
county. He was man who had plenty
and the unfortunate always found in
him friend, one who at all times was
willing to administer to their needs,
In our judgment had weather conditions
been favorable, hundreds of friends
would have attended his funeral. Peace
to his memory; sympathy for the sur
viving members of the family.

To the Christian People Of Co.
lumbia.

Dear Brethren
There have come to us repeated re-
ports of terrible famine in China in
cldent to flood, drought and other ca
lamities, because of which millions of
lives are now being sacrificed by star
walton. 1t is yet several months till
harvest and they have nothing on which
to subsist till then.
The Chinese relief Fund which has
the endorsement of President Taft, who
is also President of the Red eros So
ciety, proposes to secure as large sun
as possible for these sufferers and use
it for their relief by paying the Chinese
rather than give it to them, so much
for labor in building dykes which will in
a measure prevent flood and thereby
build up the EN- pre- as well as provide
food for them till harvest. Three dol
lars will keep a life from starvation
and fifteen dollars will save an entire
family.
With view of relieving these suffer-
ers, so far as we may have in our hearts
to do, we have planned for Mass meet
ing at the Methodist Church next SUM-
day March "a at seven o'clock, p. m.
Addresses will be made by the fol-
lowing brethren on the topics as indi-
Gated.

An Expression Of Sympathy.

One of our number has been deeply
grleved by the loss of his faithful and
devoted companion and we here and
now desire to record our sympathy and
fellowship in his suffering. Yea, we
weep with him as he weeps. But we
also rejoice with him as he rejoices be-
cause of her triumphant gong away to
to her Heavenly Fathers home where
she awaits his coming and that of her
new born babe, her parents and other
loved ones. In our sympathetic sorrow
we praise God that Brother Weldon
does not sorrow as those who have no
hope, that he can say, THE Lord gave
and the Lord hath taketh away; bless
ed be the name of the Lord"
While he cannot call her back, he
can abide the Fathers time and GO
where she is resting in the bosom of
the Savior.
We commend you, Brother Weldon,
t. the God of all grace who alone can
give the solace and comfort that your
soul requires in your hour of bereave-
ment. May He, to whom you have so
often directed others for comfort in
their bereavement, be your strength
and support in your lonely hours. May
the Gracious Father strengthen the be-
reaved parents and loved ones to whom
this sad event has become such blow.
See for your consolation, John II: II;

The day that Mr.. Breeding and Mrs.
Kate Smith were buried the weather
was miserable, raining, showing and
sleeting, making it dangerous for
friends of the departed to stand upon
the ground. One of the pail bearers
said 10 the writer: 1.-The municipal
board of this town ought to buy a tent
large enough to protect grave and to
accommodate the family of the depart
ed and close friends, who remain until
the mound is finished" He asked that
the suggestion be published, and we do
so that it may be considered. A small
house could be put up in which to keep
the tent, and the grave diggers could
raise it when weather condit ions made
it necessary.
