Will Gain Possession of the Earth:"
Taking the line of prophecy found
in the second chapter of the Book of
Daniel, the elder drew word picture
of the four universal kingdoms fore
told in the symbol of the great image
that the king of Babylon saw in his
dream. After the Babylonian empire
came the Medo-Persian, then the
Grecian, then the Roman The ten
toes of the image were said to repre-
sent the ten European powers of the

Going farther, the prophet saw that

smite the image upon its feet and
break it in pieces. Elder Kuehl drew

What Impressed Her.

Shortly after Will Crooks, the labor leader. was elected to parliament, says an English weekly, he took his little daughter to Westminster. She was evidently awed at the splendors around her, and maintained a profound and wondering silence all the time. Mir. Crooks was much impressed.
 "Well," said he to her at last, ''what are you thinking so deeply about, dear?"

 Marcy missed him, for he had been a kind and indulgent friend. He had trusted implicitly in Marcy, giving him the entire management of the little farm. The village lawyer came to see Marcy one evening a week later. He announced to his client that he was the sole heir to the farm and that | thousand dollars in the bank had also | been left to him.

HIS MOTHER CAME FIRST
Fiancee of Illinois Militiaman Had to Wait Outside the Camp
 Grounds.

While the mobilization of a certain Illinois regiment was under way wOm- en in the persons of relatives and friends of the Guardsmen flOcke1 to the camp in such numbers that neces- sary work was hampered. Thereupon it is reported, the colonel issued or ders that only one woman should be allowed to visit each member of the regiment.
 One of the GuardSmen, not yet knowing of the order, approached the camp in company with his mother, a sister and his fiancee. The guard stopped the party and sternly asked who the women were. When told he answered.:
 "You can take in only one. It's up to you to choose"
 The young man looked for a mo- ment at the three, and then said, mother"
 When war is in the air humanity gets down to fundamentals, and when this is done mother will never get the worst of it. We do not believe that the young Guardsmea will make a worse husband than if he had chosen his sweetheart. A man who can ap- preciate his mother may be expected to take good care of his wife.

WEALTHY WAITER
 STICKS TO JOB
Falls Heir to S5O,O0O Estate in Austria, But Continues

HAS HOST OF FRIENDS
Surprised at Number of People Who Now Call Him by Name-couId Be Happy Only as
 Waiter.

New York.-The story that Caesar knew the names of all his legiOnaries has been taken with some reserve. But the number he would have had to carry in his head is small compared to that of the persons who have demonstrated the ability since last Wednesday to call Sam PeriStein by name. Sam is head waiter at a restaurant, in West Forty first street, but he was such before last Wednesday. In fact, he had been all that for some years.
 Sam admits that quite some per. sons had known and called him by his first name before Wednesday. He supposed, however, that his surname was as dark a secret as a 100-tO-1 shot in the sixth race. But since WedneS- day he has found that more persons can rattle off his full name than ever before saluted him by any name in his life. He has discovered also that many more persons are solicitOus about his health and his family and his unborn future than ever before seemed to care a fig whether he had steak and potatoes or coffee and dough- nuts.
 New Lap in His Life.
 In short, last Wednesday, really marked the beginning of a new lap in "Sam'S'' life. In fact, there is some thing of a coincidence about it. For on Wednesday Sam learned he had fallen heir to $5O,OO0 estate in Aus tria. Incidentally, many of the per sons who suddenly have discovered that his name is a glib and delicate morsel to roll around their tongues, have confided to him as many different ways to double and treble his legacy just as easily as skinning a banana. Of course, they must do the skinning.
 Sam learned that the wheel of for tune had rolled the good luck to him from a Park row lawyer, who was ap- prised of the glad tidings by Vienna attorney. The wheel was spun by his uncle, Capt. Franz von Diesedorf of the Austrian army, who died recently from wounds received in battle. His uncle's estate is at present a military camp, a large contingent of the Aus trian army bivouacing there. But Sam'S property rights are intact.
 Stays on the Job.

 That was the way Sam answered the thousandth questioner last night. That

 "No, I'm better now," said Gregory Tresham, after taking a deep draught of a cordial the doctor had left. He sank back among the pillows gasping for breath, but the momentary stimu- Jus had given him strength and the waXy color in his face partly disap- peared.

66,OOO VOLTS FAIL TO KILL
Bristol, Conn.,, Man Recovers From Terrific Shock-Body Black
 as Jet.

Hartford, Conn.-Francis P. Bill of Bristol is recovering from the effects of having 66,OOO volts of electricity course through his body. The physi clans who are attending him said his case was one of the most remarkable ever reported. Bill was on the roof of a power house looking over the damage done to the wiring system by a storm when he accidentally made a contact with the high tension distributing frame, through which 66,OO0 volts of alternating current flowed. Most of his body is as black as jet as a result of the electric shock.
