A Siaht That Was Wonderful, Grand
And Inspiring.
(Annice May Patterson in Asheville
Citizen.)
It was on Aueust 3rd 1906, that
had the great privilege of seeing the
nun rise at Chimney Hock. It was in
deed one of the grandest sights I ever
witnessed. I stood in the valley, many
hundred feet below the great Chim
nev. that seems to have been put in
Dlace bv the hand of some mighty
giant, and watched the sun as it rose
in its magnificent glory. ine uay
dawned brieht and clear, the breezes
swaved the trees gently to and fro
and in the gray light of the dawn, the
mountains and the rocks loosed rugg
d nnri e-rand. wraDDed in the soft
hazy mist. While I was gazing at the
scene before me, the sky became sua
denlv illumined, I turned my eye3 to
the east and saw the eastern sky
aglow with light. At first it was faint
like the reflection of a mirror, tnea it
grew gradually brighter and brighter,
until the blue sky, the mountains, the
rocks and the water were bathed In
its beauty, and the glories of heaven
seemed to have touched the eartn
The Chimney, the mountains, and all
the great rocks, as they stood alone
in their grandeur and beauty, looked
as though they had been touched with
magic fingers, and painted in a thous
and colors.
The water, as it gushed from its
rocky source, fell in mystic falls over
the face of the mountain, and down,
into the depths of the valley below,
dashing its spray over and against
those wonderful rocks. When the great
King of the Day let fall his bright
beams on those sparkling Waters, the
effect was beautiful. The waters, glis
tened in the sunlight, which adorneC
it in the brightest colors of the most
gorgeous rainbow, causing the water
to look like so many thousand beauti
ful jewels, so brilliant was its color
ing. This alone, afforded a sight that
was so wonderful, and so grand, and
so awe-inspiring to the soul, that the
ablest efforts of any pen will give but
to those who have never witnessed

it.
There in the shadow of the moun
tains, and the glow of the sunlight,
men will realize the wonderful power,
greatness and goodness of God the
Creator, who is ever wise in his de
signs. WTho makes things beautiful,
that we may better ourselves by them.
Who manifests his power in a mysteri
ous way, and here in this peaceful spot
we realize the insignificance of man,
and the migutiness of God.

Clear Enough to Her.
Harper's Weekly.
Andrew Carnegie once delivered a
little homily to the pupils of a public
KTAOinii SHRDLii CMFWYiii
school in Washington, wherein 'he en
deavored to demonstrate that the
judgment of men is apt to be warped
by sentiment and feeling.
"In Scotland," asserted Mr. Carne
gie, "the people abominated hymns
simply because the Episcopalians
i:sed them. The Presbyterians sang
only the" Psalms of David. The
Episcopalians used stained glass in
their church windows, and for that
reason the Scotch looked upon
staned glass as something of unholy
origin."
Continuing, Mr. Carnegie told a
story of a Presbyterian minister who
had been bold enough to introduce
this hated innovation. He -was show
ing it in triumph to one of his par
ishioners, and asked her how she
liked it.
' "Ay, it is handsome," said she,
saaiy, out 1 preier ine glass as uoa
made it."
It's mighty smart the way a girl can
come in from a pizza with a man and
a red face and make her mother be

In Wild West Style One "Covers"
While Other Takes Cash.
Richmond, Va., Aug. 1C. The store
of Powell Bros., general merchants,
at Mangohick, King William County,
was well filled Saturday night with
purchasers, when two youths entered.
They attracted no attention, and stood
around the store till, all the customers,!
had been waited on. When they were
asked what they wanted they held up
the store proprietors with revolvers
in -Wild West style.
One of them covered both men with
his guns, the other investigating the
cash drawer. They got $68, - put out
the lights, and then backed out of the
store and into the woods disappearing
as suddenly as they had come.
Bushford Elmore and B. J. McNeill,
of this city, are in jail at Hanover
Court House charged with robbery.
It is claimed that they not only held
up the proprietors of the store, but
actually bound and gagged the two
men, guying them the while for keep
ing such a small sum of money in the
store.
McNeill is only seventeen years of
age. He has been employed for years
by the Eagle Paper Company, of this
city, and is said to have borne a good
reputation. Some of the people of King
william are said to have advocated
lynching the boys after they had been
captured. Relatives of one of the lads
went to Hanover today -to have a
talk with the youngsters, -and to ar
range for counsel for them. An effort
will be made to have them sent to the
reformatory for a long time.
The officers of the Eagle Paper Com
pany were surprised to learn of the
arrest of the boy, whom they regard
ed as a model employe.
ADRIFT ON LAKE MICHIGAN
Thirteen Castaways in Small Boat
Picked ur by a Freighter,
v Chicago, Aug. 16. Capt. J. McCaf
frey and his wife, son and daughter
and a crew of nine men were rescued
today from a boat of the barge J. xi.
Hurd which h?.d been abandoned in a
sinking condition on Lake Mishigan,
six miles off Grosse Point.
The barge which was bound from Al
pena to Chicago, sprang a leak about 3
o'clock this morning and all hands
were compelled to take to a small boat.
A heavy sea was running, and it was
with great difficulty that the boat was
kept afloat until the freighter Mohawk
came in sight several hours later.
A tug towed the Hurd to port this af
ternoon. When it reached harbor only
a small portion of the bow was above
water, and more than half of the cargo
had floated away. .

FATHER SEEKING DAUGHTER.
Girl Broken-Hearted After Elopement
to New York Started to Walk
Home to Philadelphia.
New York, Aug. 16. John Denny,
prosperous dry goods merchant of
2124 Market street, Philadelphia,
called at police headquarters here
for assistance in his search for his
15-year-old daughter, Helen, who, he
says, eloped four weeks ago with her
childhood sweetheart, Charles Bell,
16 years old.
That they are in New York is evi
dent to the father from a letter which
the mother received, postmarked
from the branch post office on West
Thirty-second street on August 9.
The letter is addressed "Dear moth
er," and says in part:
Just a few lines to let you know
that I am still living, but I'm not
well. Last week, for two days, I
was without anything to eat. Mother,
my neart is broken. I started to
walk home the other day, and got
way out in some little country town,
and it started to rain so badly I had
to go back to Now York. How is
papa, and dear Tom, and L.ily ana
Will -
"I'm going to work this morning,
I feel better. Mother, darling, for
give your unhappy daughter for the
wrong sne nas done, and forgive
Charley, for you know we love each
other dearly. Mother, darling, every
time I think of home I want to kill
myself. I have to go out and try to
forget home, but I can't, mother,
carling. ,
If you forgive your unhappy
daughter, put it in the New York
apers and I will see it."
The letter is signed "Helen."
On receipt of this letter Mr. Den
ny hurried to this city Sunday and
put an advertisement in a morning
newspaper telling Helen that she was
forgiven and that there was a letter
at the general post office for her.
With two detectives he remained in
the post office all of the day waiting
tor her to call for the letter, but she
c'id not. In despair he asked the
rolice to look for her.

President Says Settlers From Repub

Dominion.
Ottawa, Aug. 16. President Roose
velt has answered for the good con
duct, politically, of the many thous
rnds of his fellow-citizens who are
now taking up homes in the Cana
dian West.
F. W. Heubach, well known In con
nection with the Winnipeg Exhibi
tion, has just arrived at Montreal,
and in discussing the settlins: of
the West, told how quite recently he
had discussed this matter . with the
President. Mr. Heubach; had stated
that he did not fear the consequences
of so-called invasion, when the Pres
ident said: - -
"The danger is even less than you
imagine. The Americans who are
now going into your western coun
try will find your lawsc just as good
as they have left behind, and they
will find them better administered,
into the bargain. They will settle
down to work on their happy des
tiny under your flag and will never
Americanize Canada." -

Stewart was of eccentric disposition
and gloomy mien, and cared nothing
for the pleasures which the world at
large enjoys. Each shining ' piece of
gold had its separate compartment, was
covered with a dainty bit of cloth, giv
ing an impression to the searchers that
as each piece had been earned it had
been deposited in its separate crevice.
This saving had been going on, it is
thought, since 1892, when the old gen

United States Ambassador? The
question is " discussed in Notes and

whichever form wo use we are bound
to gibe offense in some quarter. If
we please Wasnington by calling Mr.
Reid the "American Ambassador,"
vro offend Ottawa because Canada as
a matter of fact covers more Amer
ican soil than the United States and
strongly objects to a part monopoliz
ing the name of the whole. The sub
stitution of the word "American" for
"United. States of North America" in
this connection is of quite recent
date, due, it is said, to direct diplo
matic action from Washington. The
editor of Notes and Queries says
"American" has now received offi
