whose body was laid to rest in what

Although the burying ground has

Denham’s mother laid lain there for

Miflht Have Changed History.
Here Is tfte story of an ^verted trag-
edy which. If It hud not been averted,
might have changed the whole course
of modern history to Europe. The time
was about three weeks after Sudovva.
The place was the little village of 1‘lrs
dorf. about thirty miles from Vienna.
King William of Prussia and Bismarck
were there, and they sat down on u ter-
race outside a small cafe to drink beer.
Kern, an Austrian forestur, saw them.
He regarded them as the deadly ene-
mies of his country. He was an excel-
lent marksman, mid he had Ids double
barreled guu with him. Taking aim
from behind cover, he was about to
lire when hla wife, seeing what he was
after and fearing the consequences,
clutched him by the coattails. He turn-
ed to argue with her, and before the
argument was finished the king and
hla chancellor had disappeared. Sq
A Thirty-three Year Job.
Tbe fouuder of "synthetic philoso-
phy,” so called as being un attempt at
fusing all.the science* Into a whole,
was Herbert Spencer. It was In 1850,
when he was about forty, that Spencer
projected his scheme of philosophy,
based on the principle of evolution in
its relation to life, mind, society and
moruls. He proposed a scheme requir-
ing him to complete eleven volumes in
twenty years, but lie was thirty-three
years at work on It, and then it hud
greatly exceeded the original scope. To
the accomplishment of his self imiiosed
and gigantic task he devoted all of his
time, strength and mental powers,
steadfastly refusing honors and titles.
Delicate from Infancy, he yet lived to
pass his eighty-third milestone.—Chi-
cago Journal.

bodies of some of the pioneers who
helped to build here;.who pared the
way for civilization and helped to
open up the wilderness. Tlieir mem-
ory deserves more honor than is be-
stowed on them in the old burying
ground.’’
In this connection, it is only props*
to say that a cotter of ladies, headed
by Mrs. William II. Lankford of this
city, have been trying for years to get;
tills cemetery properly eared for, and
although they have so far failed in
getting the eity to do anything in the
premises, they still hope that some
(lay the cemetery will lie properly
cleaned, marked off and arrangements
made to have it taken care of.
Mr. Denham says at one time the
cemetery occupied a block. At present,
hqwevor. it occupies only a half block,
part of the land formerly used as a
burying ground now being the road or
street.
Mr. Denham asks the Democrat to

Anita Stewart is seen again hi an to
tensely dramatic part—that of Chrl-ssy
Deseldetl, the ward of - mature John
Warburnton (Charles Riclnnan) who
Is worthy of her uml wins her promise
to marry him. Opposed to him is the
dashing young Roliert Neyland (Ru-
dolph Cameron), liut who is not
worthy of CUriasy’s love. The girl,
however, Is fascinated by him and not
until his misconduct for a moment;
dismays her does she turn from hini to
the older man.
After the wedding with Warburton
she at onee recoils, from her sit
uatlon and pleads with the shocked
bridegroom to treat, her still as a child
until she knows her own heart. This
he In hla nobility consents to do. In
tbe meantime young Ne.vlupd goes
quite to the had. Despite this the call
of youth grows stronger aud Cbrissy
decides she loves him.
With Warburton'a tacit consent she
further neglects lier marriage vow bv
entering into an arrangement to se-
cure a divorce. Neyland in the mean-
time plots against Warburton to ruin
him financially. To effect lids lie
needs money from Clijissy, which she
wires him permission to use. However,
she learns at the last moment what
treacherous purpose lie plans with it
and her innate loyalty comes to the
surface—just In time.
She throws over Neyland, who
through a culmination of other
troubles does the one graceful deed of
his life by ending it. She returns to
Warburton to be his wife in fact, full
of remorse for her erratic Impulse#,

As his Scripture lesson for last ev-
ening Mr. Mason read a part of the
15th chapter of Acts, beginning with
tlio .’tfiih verst*. “And after some days
Paul said unto Barnabas, J**t us re
turn now and Visit the brethren In
every city wherein we proclaimed the
word of the Lord, and see how they
fare. And Barnabas was minded to
take with them, John also, who was
called Mark. But Paul thought not
good to take with them him who with-
drew from Panphylla, ami went not
with them to the work. And (there
arose a sharp contention, so that they
parted asunder one from the other,
and Barnabas took Mark with him,
and sailed away unto Cyprus: But
Puul cliose Silas, and went forth being
commended by the brethren to the
grace of the Lord.”
Mr. Mason said: “In the words
i have read to you. we find Paul and
Barnabas talking over their plans.
They had returned from their first
missionary Journey with all Its trials
and troubles, and now they were talk-
ing about returning, over the very
fields from which they had just re-
turned. In the second scene we find
the two men quarreling. Barnabas
was (Iptermlued to take John Mark, and
Paul was just as determined that they
should not take him. A few week* be
fore Mark lmd left them, and Paul
didn't like a flinclier. Barnabas said,
*lm us give the boy another chance.’
We must not censure these two men
too much, because the Bible is a very
human book. It shows the weaknesses
of men, and it also shows how to get
strength. Good came out of the
inarrel, Puul and Barnabas separated,
Paul taking Silus, and Barnabas tak
lug John Mark. Thus there, were four
missionaries in the field instead of
two. Barnabas wanted to give Mack
another chance. God gives to each of
us time after time another chance.
No matter how dark a man's sin, no
matter how far he wanders away from
God. he is given chance after chance
to return to the Father,
censure too much.
