This became known when Post-

miles from Olivet.
Thorpe passed by a deserted old
shack-which used to shelter Charles
Derby ’and which has been unoccu-
pied since the sudden death of the lat-
ter about 1900. Peering into the old
hut, Thorpe was surprised to see a
table set with two plates, knives,
forks, cups and other tableware.

Examining a loaf of bread he discov-

somewhat musty, but entirely undis-

of the table had hardened and it, too,
was unbreakable. Some cheese had

They placed the bond before the

‘‘That handwriting is not so bad

‘‘It cost me $600 to get this bond.”
There was a fee of $5.25 owing

Philadelphia, Pa*, Feb. 3.—George
L. Horn, who has been afflicted for
the past two years with double goitre
and partial paralysis of both legs,
has been as suddenly cured as he was
stricken months ago.
While walking on the street he
was seized with an attack that he
thought was vertigo. He appeared
to be dizzy and after recovering from
the attack placed his hands to his
neck to find that he had lost his goi-
tre. His paralysis had also disap-
peared, and he attributes his cure
to constant prayer, in which, he says,
he relied for relief.

Awoke one night from a deep dream
of peace;
And saw within the moonlight in his
room,
Making it rich, and, like a lily in
bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Ben Ad-
hem bold,
And to the presence in the room he
said,
‘‘What writest thou?”—The vision
raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet
accord,
Answered, ‘‘The names of those who
love the Lord.”
“And is mine one?’* said Abou. “Nay,
not so,”
Replied the angel. Abou spake more
low,
But cheerily still, and said, “I pray
thee then,
Write me as one who loves his fellow i
men.”
The angel wrote’and vanished. The I

It came again with a great awaken-1

And showed the names whom love of j
God had blessed.
And lot Ben Ad tuna's name led all
the rest.
