A Bay State Secessionist
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TT was. one hundred and three
years ago-January Is, 1911
that Josiah Quincy, Of
Massachusetts, made the speech
in the Congress which anticipated
Jefferson Davis and Robert
Toombs by nearly a couple of
generations.
The question before the Con-
gress was that of the admission
of Louisiana, and Mr. Quincy
spoke as follows: Mr.. Speaker,
l address you with an anxiety
and distress of mind with me
wholly Unprecedented. To me it
appears that this measure would
justify revolution in this coun-
try. am compelled to declare
1t as my deliberate opinion that.
If this bill passes, the bonds OF
the Union are virtually dissolved:
that the States which compose il
'are free from their moral obliga-
tions, and that, as II will be the
right of all, so it will be the duty
OF some, to prepare definitely for

He could not have done so had

It was possible to say upon the
subject.
The bold. open threat OF Seces-
sion. the constitutional right of

States feeling themselves ag-
grieved; and, finally, the armed
resistance to any attempt that
might be made by the Govern
ment in a coercive way to hold

Mr.. Quincy's speech concluded
as follows:
"Sir, ! confess it, the first pub
lie love of my heart is the Com
ncnweaith of Massachusetts,.
There is my Preside, there are
the tombs of my ancestors. My
love of this Union grows out of
this attachment to my native soil
and is rooted in it. ! cherish il
(the Union, because it affords
the best external hope Of her
(MassachusettsO peace. prosper
ity and Independence"
In other words, Josiah Quincy,
as was the case later with Rob-
ert Z. Lee, loved his native State
best, and in the event OF his be-
ing obliged to make a choice, was
prepared TO. go with his State
much as he loved the Union.
Strange is history, and very
strange are many of its dispersal
tons. Its consistency is wonder

judgments like those of the Al
mighty, are past finding out"

LIES JOURNEY.
A we speed out OF youths sunny
= \ The track seems to shine in the
/ light,
But it suddenly shoots over chasms
/ Or sinks into tunnels Of night.
And the hearts that were brave in the
morning
Are filled with repining and fears
AS they pause at the City of Sorrow
Or pass through the Valley of Tears.
But the road Of this perilous journey
The hand Of the Master has made;
With all its discomforts and dangers,
We need not be sad or afraid.
Paths leading from light into dark
ness,
Ways plunging from gloom to de
spair.
Wind out through the tunnels of mid
night
To fields that are blooming and fair.
Though the rocks and the shadows
surround US,
Though we catch not one gleam of
the day.
-4boVe us fair cities are laughing.
And dipping white feet in some bay.
And always, eternal, forever.
Down over the hills in the West,
The last final end of our journey,
There lies the Great City of Rest.
tbs the Grand Central point of ali

All roads unite here when they end !;
T; the final resort Of all tourists.
All rival lines meet here and blend.
All tickets, all mile books, all passes,

On whatever road or division,
VIII bring you at last to this spot.
If you pause at the City Of Trouble,
Or wait in the Valley of Tears,
Be patient, the trim will move on
ward
And rush down the track OF the
years.
Whatever the place is you seek for,
Whatever your game or your quest,
You shall come ct the last with re-
joicing
To the beautiful City of Rest.
You shall store all your baggage of
worries,
You shall feel perfect peace in this
realm,
You shall sail with old friends on fair
waters,
With joy and delight at the helm.
You shall wander in cool, fragrant
gardens
With those who have loved you the
best,
And the hopes that were lost in life's

You shall find in the City of Rest

PAYS OLD STORE BILL TO
"GET RIGHT WITH GOD

Darlington, N. D., June 15.-
Tortured by his conscience, a for
mer farmer southwest Of town,
has recently accepted the Lord as
his savior and is starting out from
his new home in Rothburn, Cana
da, to right the wrongs he COM
mitted while outside the church
in Foster county. One of his let
tiers came to Richard Tenborg, a
former merchant, now register Of
deeds. Mr.. Tenborg has written
the man that the face of the &C
count will be gladly accepted in
full payment and that the interest
will be RENTED. The letter of the
penitent follows:
IT want to write a few lines to
you. l have made up my mind to
serve the Lord and l want to make
right all the wrong l have done
and I remember some years ago,
when you were in business in the
store, my mother and myself each
had store bills. Then l went in to
pay the accounts, for some reason
I was only charged with mothers
account, but I told my mother I
had paid everything. Then later
you wrote me to lay the balance,
so I came in with mother and
said 1 had paid you in full and
that you forgot to mark my ac-
count paid. You finally believed
1t and now l want to make this
right with you and would like to
hear from you. The account that
was left unpaid, I think, was
about SIS and this is why I write
you. For l have started to keep
the Sabbath day which is the sew
enth day Of the week. Hope to
hear from you soon.

Mandan. n. D, June 15.~Plunged
from a bridge into the Cannon Ball
river and pinned under the body of
an automobile, Mike Connolly by
superhuman effort saved his own life
and the life of William Kauchman.
Connolly, who is the Mandan a
! gent for the Ford Automobile Co,
had sold a car to Jacob Kauchman
of Fallon. He delivered it and the
son of the purchaser, William Kauch-
man. aged about 23, Harry o. Burns,
travelling salesman of the Missouri
Valley Grocery Co, and a 7-year-old
! son of Jacob KauChman drove from

William Kauchman was learning TO

kmaking the turn, the car got beyond

bterrifc rate against a heavy timber

MAN SAVED LIVES OF TWO
AUTO FELL OFF BRIDGE

II don't remember anything about
being thrown in the water. I saw
that Kauchman had lost control o!
the car and tried to swing the Wheel
but was too late.
The next thing I remember was
being %pinned under the automobile
Under the car it was darker thar
pitch, and 1 realized that unless ]
did something quickly, both Kauch-
man and would be drowned like
rats in a trap.
Il felt the soft sand Of the river
bottom and started to dig. 1t seem
ed like an age before l had made a
hole big enough under the side OF
the car to stick my head out. |
swallowed a lot Of water but kept
right on digging.
"Finally I got my head and should
ers under the side of the car and
very nearly broke my back lifting it.
KauChman had been pinned under
the wheel but got out when I raised
the car.
1T all happened so quickly that
l do not believe any of us realized
Just how close we were to death"
In the plunge from the bridge the
automobile turned a complete som
ersault. When it struck in the wa
ter, it was turned upside down in
about three feet of water. and only
the wheels and the running gear
were above the water level.
Later the car was hauled out OF
the water. 1t was badly wrecked.
