William and Mary Dyer emigrated
from England to Boston in the year
1885. Immediately they became fol-
lowers of Anne Hutchinson, that re-
markable women who was trying to
teach Puritans the virtue OF tolerance.
But having found a country where
tolerance was possible, the Puritans
promptly forgot how to practlce IL.
They FIRST excommunicated Mistress
Hutchinson and then banished her 10
the Rhode Island wilderness. :,
In Mary Dyer we see the full-spread
fearlessness Of the willing martyr. Wnen
Anne Hutchinson was accommodated
she marched proudly out OF the church
by her side, in full view Of the congre-
CATION. When Anne was deported 70
Rhode Island, in 1887, Mary went with
her.
Mistress Hutchinson accepted ban
ishment, but this Mary Dyer refused 70
do. During 90 years her thoughts ana
emotions seethed in her. Then In 1901,
garbed as a Quakeress, she reappeareo
in Boston. where Quakers were pro-
scribed and banished, with the threat;
under the law, Of death If they returned
after banishment.
She was Immediately arrested ana
banished, but In September OF 1903 sne
came back again. She was In company
with William Robinson, Marrnaduke
Stevenson and Nicholas Davis. Know
ing their peril full well. they came, they
said, ito look the bloody laws In their
face"
This was one of the most heroic pill
grimages in history. But the MasSa-
chusetts authorities did not act hastily.
The courts decreed banishment. ana,
turning the quartet loose, ordered them
to quit the colony.

defied the mandate. So, on October 20,
they were brought before the court
of the magistrates, with the tmpla-
cable John Endicott presiding. All
three were condemned to be hanged.
The serene composure Of Mary Dyer
astounded every one.
THE Lords will be donel" she said
calmly.
Endicott impatiently ordered her re-
noval.
IT joyfully return to my prison." she
escorted her she said: II would go
without you"
A great multitude gathered to witness
the triple execution on october a.
Mary Dyer walked to the scaffold be-
tween Robinson and Stevenson. The
three held each other by the hand and
comforted each other calmly. The
marshal. seeing this, sneered at Mary.
Are you not ashamed" he asked. Ito
walk thus hand in hand publicly be-
tween two young men?"
replied.
Robinson and Stevenson died. Mary
Dyer mounted the fatal ladder without
a tremor She was blindfolded and the
moose adjusted. Then In the distance
q voice was heard:
stop stop! She Is reprievedl"
It was true. Her sons interceSsion
had gained a Communication Of her SEN
tence to Punishment.
She descended the ladder unwillingly
at wish to suffer as my brethren have
suffered unless that wicked law is an
nulled," she said.
A year later she was again in Boston.
This time her sentence was carried out.
In May, 1850, she died, calmly refusing
to recart and repent.

December 13, 1s7O.-"washington is
the best abused city In the Union"
writes "Grace Greenwood" In the Tri-
hune, with the doubtful exception Of
Chicago, but 1t will bear a good deal
Of abuse and still hold its own"
She describes the National Capitol in
the following manner: "It is singular
dictory, old-faShioned and no-faShioned,
dilapidated and unfinished. beautiful
and ugly. but to me the most charming.
free-and-easy. cosmopolitan town in the
New World"
"Congressmen and correspondents
abuse it." she continues, because they
do not see much of what is best in it.
AS a general thing, they know little of
stiffness Of the North nor the languor
Of the South, and they see little Of
our lovely Springs and more lovely
Of the city's picturesque environs.".

at our authorities for not enforcing the
police regulations against animals rum

night, by the amateur opera company
of this city Members of the cobinet

Mrs. Camp who is known to those
who attend Epiphany Church for her
pure and cultivated voice, sang the

were Miss Ada Randall. E. j. Harring-

Naturally everybody expected to
have to make good deal of allowance
for the performers and overlook all
sorts Of imperfections, but in this every
body was disappointed" says the critic
of The Evening Star. There were some
faults and crudities. but less than
among the same number of professional
performers. Altogether, Flotow's opera
was never performed so we'll in Wash

and tell them to charge 1t to your &C

And Colman Is remote himself.
Warmth in a leading lady should be

LIGHT MY WAY
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Slow But Sure.

He that believeth shall not make
haste. Is, Xxvii:16.
There are some people who never
seem able to do anything quietly and
| calmly. They are always in feverish
haste. They are OF a nervous, restless
disposition. Over the smallest matters
they become excited and f1ustered.
This units them for the best work.
One cannot do his best work when he
goes at things excitedly and hurriedly.
There is such a thing as haste that
makes waste
Hurry f1usters and upsets. Feverish
straining tends to break down the vital
forces of both the body and the soul.
It weakens and unnerves US. It dis
quiets the mind so that we cannot
think clearly.
There is q type of man we describe
as slow but sure. You can usually de-
pend on this type of man to put across
whatever he undertakes. He does not
fume and froth over what he has to do,
but he gets 1t done all the sooner
and all the. better.
Activity is not all achievement. Mo-
tion is not all progress. Take time TO
get your bearings, and your motion and
activity will count for more. Learn to
take things calmly. and you will find
yourself working more ef1ciently ana
effectively. When you find yourself be-
coming wrought up and nervous, stop
long enough to calm yourself down. It
will pay In the long run. We can do
our best work only when we have peace
and calmness in our hearts.
"He that believe shall not make
haste" Doubt unsettles men and makes
them fearful and feverish. I'm conf
dence shall be your strength" Conf
dence makes the heart calm and the
hand steady. If you would become q
quiet, steady-going man, cultivate con-

During his absence the boss began TO
fidget and worry about the man he
had intrusted with so important an
undertaking. Perhaps he was on an
other "whoopee."
He waited impatiently for letter

pected it failed to arrive. At noon the
letter reached the hands Of the head
Of the firm. The man had succeeded
beyond expectations.
He went to another great city, and
once again the boss began to fret. He
knew his friends weakness and was
waiting for it to break out anew before
he accomplished his task. Day after
day the chief not only worried him
self, but annoyed his organization.
The communications we're occasionally
late, on account of the time OF mail
iAg them. In each case, though, they
brought good news.
Still, the boss was puzzled. Every
day he was happily disappointed In
his man, but he would say, II wish
that fellow would get on his tear
and get over it. I'd feel better about
it. Then he can hop on the job again"
The boss secretary agreed that she
wished the man would do something
in the way of bust on, so that the
president could settle down and cease
worrying the others. AS matter OF
fact, the man on the road had been
on the cart for two years and was bliss
fully unconscious of the worry at the
home Office. His firm does not know
to this day that he Is a total abstainer.
He simply made his decision and stuck
to it.
