SO they laid Stonewall Jackson in
rude cabin among the trees. The
left arm had been amputated in the
field hospital. He was thought to be
doing we'll. At daylight on Thursday
he had his physician called. II am
suffering great pain," he said. "See
what is the matter with me-" And
presently, "Is it pneumonia"
That afternoon his wife came. He
was aroused to speak to her, greet
her with love, then sank into some
thing like a stupor There were times
when he was slightly delirious. He
gave orders in a shadow of the old
voice. "You must hold out little
longer, men; you must hold out a
little longer! Press forward-press
forward-press forward! Give them
canister, Major Pelham!"
Sunday, the 10th, dawned. 1t was
sunny weather, fair and sweet, with
all the bloom of May, the bright
trees waving, the long grass ripping,
waters flowing, the sky azure, bees
about the flowers, the birds singing
piercingly sweet, Mother Earth so
beautiful, the sky down-bending, the
light OF the sun so gracious, warm
and vital!
A little before noon, kneeling be-
side him, his wife told Stonewall
Jackson that he would die. He smiled
and laid his hand upon her bowed
head
"You are frightened, my child.
Death is not so near. 1 may yet get
WE'LL
The doctor came to him. 'Doc-
tor, Anna tells me that I am to die
to-day. Is it so?"
"Oh, General, General! 1t is So
He lay silent moment, then he
said:
very good, very good! 1t is all
right
Throughout the day his mind was
now clouded, now clear. The alter
nate clear moments and the lapses
into stupor or delirium were like the
sinking or rising of a strong swim
mer, exhausted at last, the prey at
last of shoreless sea. At times he
came head and shoulders out of the
sea, opened his gray blue eyes upon
his staff. The sea drew him under
again.
The day drew on to afternoon. He
lay straight upon the bed, silent for
the most part, but now and then
wandering little. His wife bowed
herself beside him; in corner wept
the old man, Jim. Outside the win
dows there seemed hush as of
death.
pass the infantry to the front!'
ordered Stonewall Jackson. Tell
A. P. Hill to prepare for action!'' the
voice sank; there was only heard the
old man crying in the corner. Then
for the last time in this phase of be-
ing the great soldier opened his eyes.
In a moment he spoke, in a very
sweet, calm voice. Let us cross
over the river and rest under the
shade of the trees" He died.-The
Long Roll.

TRAINED TO MURDER.
Assassins Once Formed A Very In
fluential Sect.

The assassination of King George
of Greece recalls the fact that the
word itself is derived from regular
order of men pledged to take the life,
especially the life of a ruler.
The assassin sect was an offshoot
of the shah form of Mohammedan-
ism, but its tenets comprised frag-
ments of magianism (of sorcery,) Ju-
diasm and Christianity, as well as of
the teachings of the Koran. 1t was
in some respects not unlike the Dru-
ses Of Mount Lebanon, with whose
outbreaks the name of Lord Duf-
ferin was honorably connected long
before he became governor general
of Canada. -.
Its founder, who gave it his name,
was Hassan Ben Sabah, chief of the
famous mountain fortress of Alamoot
in Persia, about 1890. He gathered
about him body of fearless young
men, pledged to obey him and highly
trained in various methods of muir
der. These were dispatched, general
ly singly, to end wars by killing kings
or generals, or to destroy rivals or
personal enemies.
In order to give them courage for
their villainous work, they were
taught to make use of hashish, the
drug called chang in India, derived
from the leaves of the common hemp
plant, which is terribly intoxicating.
In Arabic they we're called haschls-
chin from this fact.
These men followed their instruc-
tions in every country, as is shown
by the fact that all the European ma
tions have the word in their langua-
ges, assassinen in German, assassin in
French, aesino in Spanish, assassino
in Portuguese and Italian, etc. But
they fourished especially in the east,
where they also used the terror OF
their name for blackmailing purposes.
The knight Templars in the time
of Richard Occur de Lion, fought
them openly, the leaders of the Cru
sades having suffered seriously from.
their designs, and also spreading the
knowledge of them and of their lead
ers, known to them as the "Old Man
of the Mountains" throughout christ
endom.
The Mongols massacred the Persian
branch of the order in 1856, and the
Sultan Beliars tried to extirpate the
Syrian branch in 1870. Neither at
tack was thoroughly successful, how
ever, and the order is believed to ex-
ist to this day in Persia, and to be
not without influence in some east
ern affairs.
Not even Persia had more hor-
rible assassinations than had France
at the time of the revolution, anu
there was awful rightfulness in the
words in which the tyrant Robespier-
re addressed the national convention,
when he was refused permission to
make a defense against the fate to
which he had consigned so many, and
which now threatened him: "Presl-
dent of Assassins," said the deposed
rutfian, 'Efor the last time ask liberty
to speak," for by assassins nowadays
we mean not members of the sect OF
that name, but murderer who spills
life blood for any other than purely
personal reason.

Opportunity Here To Make a Home
By Rebert b. Rinehart

The FL Paso valley begins at the
city Of FL PasO. extending east 50
miles and contains $1,000 acres, OF
which 10000 acres lie across the river
in the Republic of Mexico.
Construction in Progress
The construction work has been In
progress since July 1910, and the en-
gineers in charge say that in the
spring of 1915 the dam will store SUI
ficient to irrigate all the land under
the project for the season OF 1873 II
is now estimated by the reclamation
service engineers that the project will
be complete and ready to turn over to
the land owners in 1913 or 1913. From
1915 to 1919 the government will rent
water to the land owners; there will be
the land owners until the pro-
ject is formally opened. The construc-
ton charges will be from $40 to 500
per acre, which the government viii
collect, after the project is opened,
in ten annual instruments without in
terest After the construction charges
have been paid. the land owners will
receive from the government perpet-
ual water right for their land. The
only future expense will be cost OF
maintenance.
Electric Power.
The sale of electric power generated
at the dam and canals will be an i'm
portant factor in the reduction Of
cost OF construction and maintenance
charges to the land owners The amount
of Horsepower generated will be over
10000 This power will be available
during the irrigation season (eight
months) to the many thriving towns
in the valleys as well as to Ell Paso

plants, flour and planning mills, ma

ways and interUrban lines, etc In ad-
dition this power will be employed by
