Some day the crooked will be sepa-

Lord. thou hast here thy ninety and
nine;
Are they not enough for thee?''
But the Shepherd made answer: This
of mine
Has wandered away from me;
And. although the road be rough and
steep,
go to the desert to find my sheep"
4
But none OF the ransomed ever knew
How deep were the waters crossed
Nor how dark was the night that the
Lord passed through
Ere he found his sheep that was lost.
Out In the desert he heard its cry
Sick and helpless. and ready to die.

TILLNfAN DOWN ON SMOKING.
Will EndeavOr to Stop Practice i'm the
Senate Chamber.

Washington, Feb. 8.-If Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina, can have
his way, there will be no smoking in
the executive sessions of the Senate.
He is very sensitive to the odor of to-
bacco and made an effort during the
executive session Tuesday to have
smoking prohibited, but, as the ques-
tion is not covered by the rules, he
failed. He then gave notice that he
would soon introduce resolution
prohibiting smoking in the Senate
chamber at all times.
Confirming the report as to his in
tention Mr.. Tillman said: There is
no more reason why Senators should
be allowed to smoke in executive than
in open sessions. Many men object
to tobacco smoke, and just because
they are members Of the Senate they
should not be compelled to sit where
they must submit to It,"

ELBERTON MANS HOT BATH.
Modesty Almost Prevented His Es-
cape from Steam Death.

Elberton, Ca, Feb 8.-John
Clark, 20 years old, who works at
the Elberton Steam Laundry, had
narrow escape from being steamed
to death last Friday about the noon
hour. He decided to take a bath
while the plant was shut down for
dinner, and climbed into the big
washing machine, which was about
half full Of water, turning on the
steam. This machine rolls on axis.
1t is like a huge hogshead, and has
an oval shaped door that works on
hinges. The door has spring locks
and can be opened only from the
outside.
Soon after Mr.. Clark climbed in
the machine and began splashing
around in the warm, steam-heated
water, the machine turned slightly
on it's axis and the big door came
down with a bang, locking him in
tight and fast. Knowing that the
other people who worked around the
plant were away for dinner, and feel
ing the steam growing hotter and
hotter he began to scream for help
as loud as he could. His cries finally
reached the ears of a lady residing
near by and she ran to the rescue.
But her arrival did not relieve the
situation entirely. Mr.. Clark was
bathing, as George du Maurier, Of
nj 20,
together" and, unlike Trilby, was
too modest to come out of his steam
heat bath entirely nude, prefering to
die a martyr to his ideals Of decency
and live forever after in the mem
Ory of those who preached the slogan
of Patrick Henry-"Give me mod
csty, or give me DEATH"
The lady soon took in the situation
and lost no time in Securing the as
sistance of those who could save
from scalding to death the man that
she was powerless to help. She ran
back home and got negro servant.
She returned as soon as she could
with the negro boy, who opened the
door.
The steam and water had by this
time taken off patches of Mr.. Clark's
skin. The lady stood near by con-
graduating him on the fact that she
heard his screams for help. But
this water Is hot and getting hotter
all the time, and l can't get out as
-,
