StoneVall Jackson.

Fifty years ago tonight there fell NOR

the great captains of English-speaking
races.
Lee, who called Stonewall Jackson his
strong right arm, once said that he would
have won Gettysburg If Jackson had been
there. Be that as it may. the almost unin-
terrupted victories of the Army of North
ern Virginia ended when Jackson passed
away. Charlottesville marked the food
tide of the Confederate arms. Two
months later came Gettysburg. aud from
thence on to Appomattox Lees forces.

On December 10, the Committee of One Thousand
provided for by the late Columbus Convention will
swoop down on Washington. They go to demand of
Congress the submission to the states of an amendment
to the federal constitution prohibiting the beverage

The Committee is being organized and will
consist of the representative business and
facturers of the nation They will simply demand that
a national problem be made national issue and set
tied once for ALL
These will not demand that Congress settle
the matter but that Congress will merely permit the
people to settle it themselves and in their own way
A thousand of the foremost business men of the
nation will personally make this request of Congress

Bear Traps

The press dispatches tell distressing story of a
hunter Embudo Colorado, who was caught in his
own bear trap, where he torn to pieces by wild
beasts His bones only left to bear witness to
what had happened.
Colorado authorizes the setting of traps to catch
and destroy her citizens It is done for profit, and
the state shares in the guilty revenue
Sometimes the guilty saloonkeeper gets caught in
his trap and is destroyed just others had been
destroyed in the same trap set for that purpose
The story of the Colorado hunter being caught in
his trap painful to read. The stories of weak
and careless being caught and destroyed in the
traps authorized therefore by the is also dis
tressng but the public mind is somewhat calloused to
these tales.

Beecher on "Politics in the Pulpit"

When the liquor traffic, the chief foe of the church,
is attacked in the pulpit often rises to kick
against talking politics in the pulpit Sometimes the
objection from pure and undeed dreamer, but
usually from someone who is hit somewhere amidships
by the speakers It is urged that pulpit
discussion should be confined to the affairs of our
Heavenly home and not bother about the concerns Of
the world flesh and the devil.
Henry Ward Beecher, who frequently discussed
worldly things, after sermon delivered in the midst
Of great local campaign received the following pro-
test from indignant member of his congregation:
Dear Sir 1 ourneyed over from New York this
morning to hear you preach, feeling OF course that
should hear a sermon. Instead Of that got nothing
but political address for my pains. suppose it
little to you to be told that was dlsappolnted but
nevertheless you to know that there one man
in your congregation who feels that politics has no
place in Gods temple and that such political rantlngs
as were your address this morning unbecOmng to
a servant of God. Plainly speaking, sir you made
ass of yourself. Very truly yours,
JOHN BLANK.
To which Mr.. Beecher replied
My dear Mr.. Blank: I very sorry you
disappointed at my sermon yesterday morning. Some

regret that you didn't like my Words and regret
that you think that | made of myself.
However, you have great consolation in the fact that
you will never be put to the trouble and modification
of making an ass of yourself. The Lord did that.
HENRY WARD BEECHER.
The theory that religion has nothing whatever to
do with mans behavior earth is fast becoming obso
lete The feeling is strong that there is relig
ous side to every duty in life. People who live off the
rentals of saloons and dives not of that opinion.
People who turn their cellars into boozng den also
disagree, but the trend of the times is against them.

DIARY OF FATHER TIME

On April 8, 1912, the Vaterland,
the largest ship ever built, was
launched at Hamburg. This ship
measures $50 feet in length and 100
feet in width, and has speed of
about % knots an hour. In 1900 the
passenger boats running between
Calais in France and Dover in Eng
land, a distance of about 21 miles,
measured about so feet in length.

traveller who set out for Calais about
this time. After "a hours sailing he
had been within sight of Calais and
was back again at Dover. There he
stayed a fortnight, putting to sea at
intervals and coming back. Then the
wind came fair for Calais, but veered
round rather too soon and the first
haven the boat could reach was that
of Yarmouth small town on the
south coast of England-after two
days running before the storm.
There they went aground, but get

THE SING MURDER CASE

THE SING MURDER CASE
A powerful Chinese Tong, the On
Leong, has sworn vengeance on the
slayer of Charles Sing, the Chinese
restaurant owner who was murdered
in his home.
But if the assassin escapes death
at their hands, the members of the
tong will subscribe a purse to aid in
sending the guilty one to the gallows.
In the emantime the police search
centered on a Chinese soldier-of-for-
tune, known as George Morn. Little
is known of the man except that he
is a Cantonese, a fugitive from the
immigration officers, central figure of
a thousand adventures in Chinatown
and an ardent lover.
Morn came to Chicago and met
Mrs. Alice Davis Sing, the pretty
white girl wife of the rich restaurant
owner.
Morn told her of the beauties of
the Orient, of a million love affairs,
of all the foolish things he had done
for woman's smile-and the white
girl was interested.
Then one day Sing came home and
found Morn. A fight was averted by
the girl. Morn left.
This started a series of quarrels
between Sing and his wife. Wednes-
day he was murdered in typical Chin
csc fashion, accompanied by torture.
The white girl was wit hhim. She is
now in the Peoples Hospital. Police
Captain Baer expects to place her
under arrest.
