you" Thus, after mucn struggle they
got over.
Now the City stood on mighty hill /;
but up that hill the Pilgrims went
with ease because they saw two Shining
Ones to lead them. Also had they
left their mortal garments behind them
in the flood "You are going now"
said the Shining Ones, as they
climbed, "to the Paradise of God,
wherein you shall see the Tree of
Life, and eat of the fruits thereof"
And while they were drawing toward
the Gate, behold company of the
Heavenly Host came out to meet them,
some before, some behind, and some
on the right and left, continually
sounding as they went with melodious
noises, so that the sight was as if
Heaven itself had come down to meet
them.
Now 1 saw in my dream that these
two Pilgrims went in at the Gate, and
10, as they entered, they were trans
figured, and had raiment given them
that shone like gold. There were others
that met them with harps and crowns,
and all the bells in the City rang for
mirth, while it was said, "Enter We
into the Joy of your Lord" Now just
as the Gates were opened to let the
men in, I looked after them, and be-
hold the City shone like the sun. In
the streets walked many men with
crowns on their heads, and golden
harps to sing praises withal. After
that they shut the Gates, which. when
had seen it, / wished myself among
the Redeemed.
AS I was in my dream, I saw that
Christiana, she that was wife to Chris
tan, was much broken by her ungod-
ly carriages to the good man who
had now come to the Celestial City.
Calling to remembrance his restless
groans and brinish tears she resolved
to go after him. With that her four
boys fell to weeping and cried that
they would go with her. On this one
came to her house and said: "Chris-
tiana, here is letter for thee which
have brought from thy husbands
King" She found that it smelled af-
ter the manner of the best perfume
and was written in letters of gold.
Henceforth she carried it in her bo-
som, reading it to herself and her
children till they had got most of it by
rote of heart.
So she likewise went out on her
journey to the Celestial City, passing
through trials similar to those of her
good man, and guided by one Mr..
Greatheart. Though many dissuaded
her, such as Mrs. Timorous, Mrs.
Lightmind, Mrs. Love-the-fiesh, Mrs.
Knownothing and Madam Bubble. yet
pressed she on, arriving like good
Christian himself at the River of
Death. Here when she was come the
road was thronged with people to see
her cross. All the banks, too, be-
yond the river were full of horses and
chariots which were come down from
above to accompany her to the City
Gate So, with beckOn of farewell
to those that followed, she entered the
river The last words she was heard
to utter were, Lord, I come to be
with thee"
Then her children and friends re-
turned to their place, for that those
who waited for Christiana had carried
her out of their sight. But she went
in at the Gate with all the ceremonies
of joy that had welcomed good Chris
tan before her.

Senator Hitchcock's Bank of Nations

apply to the international field the
same ideas that have been success
fully used in the domestic field-that
is, to establish a great international
bank, with the power to issue cur
rency against a safe reserve of gold.
The plan is to make it the business of
this bank to finance international
trade, to buy and sell exchange, and
to lend money to importers and ex-
porters. In a supplemental way the
bill would alse give power to buy and
sell interest-bearing bonds of nations
owning the bank.
After the United States secretary Of
treasury had taken for the treasury of
the United States S1,3OOOOO,OO0 of the
stock the bill would offer $500, 600
of the stock for sale to bankers and
exporters and importers interested in
international commerce. They might
also have checking accounts in the
bank. The bill would then offer for
sale to other nations of the world

vided they entered into the necessary

Something ought to be done to make
the rules of 1872 balkline billiards
harder, according 20 some of the au-
thOrities on the game who attended
the recent tournament in which Jake
Schaeffer, Jr., of Chicago wrested
the worlds title from Willie Hoppe.
The suggestions were made unsolicit-
ed and came as result of the general
high runs and high averages made by
the seven worlds best players who
competed.
Although it is improbable any i'm
mediate changes will be made in the
game, billiard rules, like rules in
football or any other sport, may be
varied to meet the requirements OF
competition.
The big tournament, which conclud-
ed when Schaeffer carried the title out
gress hotel, was beyond doubt the
greatest of history. Old-timers who
knew well the playing of Jake Schaef-
fer, father of the new champion; Ives,
DAILY, Vignaux and the rest of two
decades ago, declare that none OF
those veterans could compare with the
galaxy of stars that finished the re-
cent competition.

began to show a serious turn toward

the players in the recent tournament

Rosebud Breaks Into Shoot.

Flowers seem so highly specialized
that one does not associate them with
the vegetative or growing part of the
blossoms have had leafy origin even
though this is not always very obvious.
A strange case of flower breaking
way into shoot is recorded. A rose
bush growing in garden in Natal,
South Africa, was responsible for the
curiosity. The bud, instead of expand
ing into a flower, sent up stalk, at
the end of which was borne a rose
that was finely developed.

an unsavory aspect Perhaps 1t was
quite all right. It is noped for the

A half hour before the bout a prom
tnent fighter told the writer the odds
had changed from 1 to on Britton
to TO 5 on Walker and that all bets
would be declared off from the ring
side. The so-caIled wise money, it is
alleged. was down at these odds. The

Finally, the fighters prediction was
borne out in toto when Joe Hum

wished TO announce on behalf of the
