Concord, March , 23, 1905.-' - Ky.Oeai D : This la Sunday, and I have concluded, after much earnest citation and after much painful, , rejBQtant deliberation, to try vto write yefa.tuietter .befitting the day and the new departure I have taken troin the eld beaten traok.over". which J' have been Journeying ell my life' ' For the past thirty' yeara I have been a consistent agnostic, sr -'know-nothing on the' . subject of religion:, looking upon the Christian' as merely the best form of the various religions of the world. A to the Supreme Being He, : was utterly unknowable, had for His own purposes set things going un der certain fixed and unvarying laws, withdrawn Himself personally and let these laws govern, as His vice regent. It developed upon us poor forlorn crea ture placed here without any option in the matter to study and And out these laws and make the beet we eould of our .deplorable condition. I, however, had a. firm conviction that we were living1 under a moral government, and that ' the tendency was ever onward and upward for the race. As for the individual, when death came, there was simply a leap in the dark. Know ing, myself as I , did and my fellow man as I had learned him 1 had come to belrtve, that In the eyes of a Per fect? Being the difference between George -Washington and Judas Iscarlot was only one of degree and of environ menu and of neutral and moral devel opraent. Consequently, we all shared the same fate after death which, not Impossibly, might be annihilation. For the last two years I have been compelled to stand beside the high way and see the procession pass, not taxing any part myseir. it nas Deen a most bitter and trying experience. and I have fretted and worried over my helplessness "beyond the conception of one who has never had a like dis agreeable test. By degrees, I had learned , to accept the situation and to endeavor to make the best of it. Dur ing that time I have, on an average, devoted eight hours every day to stu dious and thoughtful reading of the works of the greatest thinkers that have 'lived on our planet or are now residing on It For nearly three months of each of these years I have. In our mountains, been thrown into the society of many Of the creme-de-la-creme of our South ern people. They were all extremely select people, in every respect. Among the men, 1 have never seen one under the influence of whiskey, never heard an oath uttered and have never heard a word derogatory to woman express ed. Some few of them the exceptions were somewhat skeptical on the sub ject of religion, but never obtruded their views under any circumstances. I dropped down among these people an utter stranger and found that somehow, to make an acqaintance was to make a friend. My age, my suf ferings, my inability to Join them in their little excursions and the pleasure I found in everything going on around me. jron in .theb? Tespect and, in many cases, their warm affection. 1 correspond with, more than a dozen of these people, at Intervals, and with some regularly.- To illustrate; a beauti ful, winning, refined, and highly culti vated young girl, about 20 years of age, Nt down among us last summer. She had only a few days leave of absence from her work, and the amount of pleasure she got out of these few days was a delight and a revelation to the rest of us. She knew only one person when she came but when she left there were the whole colony of us, big and little, at the station to see her off. This young woman, from the very Bret, went out of her way to show me little kindnesses and we became great friends. She is helping to supper her mother and family. They were, up to the death of the father and husband, a few" years ago, in affluent circum stances, but now are dependent upon their own exertions for a living. Now, l , my admiration, regard and -worshipful respect for this young lady-end she is but a type of thous ands in this broad land is simply in expressible In words. When her image Is recalled an exhilaration as of the strains of the sextette of Lucia dl Iafltmermoor is experienced and I thaftk God that poor human nature can develop such a fragrant and beau tiful flower. In her company even in imagination, I am under the spell of a nameless charm and an enunciation of refinement and whlted-souled pur ity, fills the world around trie. But suppose- she and others like her were made In this state, and kept so, by the Supreme Being, and to be good and sweet cost her and her moth er and friends no sacrifices, cost her no efforts of self-restraint and self denial that she was good because she just couldn't help it, or couldn't be any other way. Don't you see my feelings would not be the same towards her? The very fact that only the most stren uous and constant and unremitting watchfulness over her thoughts and actions, even the most trivial, has kept her sweet and pure, gives her Is 4 f insurance aaaeaeaaeaaaaaaMenaeaeaaeeaaaaaee ' : v Ymnmr tenfold added Value In tny eyes,' Hu man; nature, may 1 be compared to the elementary substance, carbon.

Now, don't yoft eee, that creature of this type is Of an infinitely higher order than; a cast-Iron, a it were, r sort? The Crea tor could' nave made you ana me per fect; .tout. If, we can gradually, by our own ercoros, aiaea oy his neip wren requisite, attain unto this perfection, we are incomparably superior to made-to-order perfection. Tlils is 'what is going on around us. This young woman shadows f osth what- the Almighty designs concerning us all. The better we are,, the more We love purity of life, unselfishness, and the willingness .to bear other peoples? burdens. For my part, I am now sim ply lost in amazement and admiration at God's plan of salvation,, and am filled with wonder that I have never seen it before. , . w Here is a little woman, so delicate and fragile as to be at the mercy of every wind that blows, who, if you were Stricken down beside her, couldn't defend you against a six-weeks-old member of the. mouse family, and yet. were she in trouble, or danger, what man with a heart In his bosom, would stop for a moment to count the cost of going to her rescue. This nobility of nature, so many now possess, is the direct resultant of God s plan of-sal vation for the race, and no other plan could have developed it that I can conceive of. The stumbling block with me, as He said it would be, has been Jesus Christ. I didn't see any super human merit in (even were it so) God's law underlying what He did when He had His Father to encourage and sustain Htm. The truth as taught In the' New Testament, and It has only lately come home to me, is this: Christ voluntarily took upon Himself a man's nature and while He was on the earth, He had no freer communication with His Father than you or I can have, thro. Him. I belelving as I now do, can say, too, "In my Father's- house are many mansions." I, In the pangs of death, too, hanging from a cross, could' and, belelving as I now . do, would cry out, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me," and yet that would not prove that I realized my self to be His son, would it? He speaks of His "Father" as also our Father, Christ voluntarily came down here for two purposes In the main: To show that He was a man like ourselves, subject to all of our Infirmities, weak- I nesses and temptations ' willing and anxious to die for us that we might be delivered, and second to shown us that with all our imperfections, we could thro' Him, by and by, live a sinless life. Of late, D , I have realized beyond a doubt that my days are numbered and be they greater in number than I now anticipate, the time, now, flies so swift- with me that to-morrow is al most before is arrives. So I am to all Interests as good as dead-and-bui-ied already, you see. Till quite recently, I have always said my prayers before going to sleep, more thro' a feeling of utter helplessness and forlornness, than for any other reason. In the silent watches of the night, it has frequently occurred to me that it would be a most glorious thing if I could feel that this all-powerful and perfect - Being took a special interest in my poor self, and in addition would extend this lov ing care to those very dear to pie but this Being I belelved In was but a cold abstraction and was giving my affairs no consideration whatever and I would turn over on my pillow and say to myself, "all Is vanity, the sooner it Is all over, the better for me." . Now, however, without a word from any outside source. It has been suddenly (several weeks ago) borne In upon me as I belelve by the Spirit of the Living God that a loving Father, through a mediator, was reaching down His hand to me and assuring me that He is my Shepperd and I should not want, and . telling me to leave my loved ones. in Ha charge and that He could and would do what is best for them. You can't Imagine the change that has taken place in my views and feelings. As your old friend, "Old Dick" would say: "I'm a changed man bedad!" and certainly an In finitely happier one. One thing had always bothered me This little planet of ours. Is but as a l-graln of sand-upon the seashore com pared with the tnflnltltude of worlds around us. The son or Ood Himself, dies for the inhabitants of this Insig nificant world. How . about the dwel lers on the other planets? Will He have to die for each one of them separately, as they have no communication with us or' with each other? Of late, how ever, wireless telegraphy has been of fering several marvelous suggestions In a crudo way on this mystery, and, besides, sin may not have ever enter ed those worlds, and, then, over all is the Almighty who will attend to all that . Now, that I should be singled out, as it were, in this way and made to feel that my sins are forgiven me, Is the most wonderful occurrence of my life. I look upon myself as a clear-headed maw. What I read, I weigh and ponder over; I receive It as the truth Tet my whole life gives the lie to Its few closing hours. It Is not fear that did it. I never had doubt but that my position was correct, viz: that I didn't mm mm2 iums, or would you be forced to surrender your insurance? Can you "afford to take the risk of leaving your loved ones unprovided for after your death. There is a way to protect yourself and those dependent upon you against such an unfortunate contingency, and that is to insure both your Kfe and power by the purchase of an .

The ceremony was performed by Rev. Geo. H. Cor nelson. The service was very . sweet and Impressive. Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander left for the old home place of , Mr. Al exander's father, a few mllee .from town.

With a prefactory note saying that he would reform and work If released from Riker's Island, where he was sent tnr thi-ee monthB for disorderly con duct, January 27. John Donnelly, of New Rochelle, Bent tne ionowing ap peal to Magistrate Breen yesterday: O, ipoble Judge, great, mighty Judge, to .you in verse I write: I ask' you for my prompt "release please help me In my fight. In January, at the bar, In far-famed Yorkvllle Court, I was Intoxicated, and I thought my self a sport. While standing humbly, penitent, be fore you at the rail You said ttiat I was guilty and then sent me off to Jail. I have, to date, served half my time, and promise to repent. If you will let me mend my ways be fore the end of Lent Ah, If you do, I promise you that whiskies, ales and beers . Will not pollute my tips again I vow, for many years. For I have found at last that what the temp'rance people say, A drunken life, O mighty Judge, Is life that doesn't pay. Come, open wide your heart to me and let me out of Jail ' And I will promise that for years I'll drink no more mixed ale. Do pay attention to these words, ao -humbly writ In rhyme, ; And if your heart no pity takes I'll .have to serve my time. Magistrate Breen said that a man who wrote such poetry ought to get a. chance to reform, and he ordered bis probationary officers to go over to the IsAand to-day with an order for Donnelly's release. Faith is all well enough in Its way, but don't 'put too much of it in canned goods and told storage eggs.

' Before' the march of progress and com imrdaisinr swept It away there stood In the little Southern city of Charlotte, N. N., aijr-Old "fo' de war" court house which contained the office of Col. David Guy. Maxwell, known widely in the coun try about .as - "Squire." Justice of the peace and United States Commissioner. Squire Maxwell was as much a part ot the old court house ns one of the huge white pillars supporting the roof of the porch, and he could tell many a tale of ante-bellum days concerning which the worn flagstones and stained walls pre served eternal silence. Every days after noon, during the hot summer months, the squire could be found in a chair propped back against a wail ot the cool corridor within, sleep ing peacefully, with :i red bandana hand kerchief thrown over his face to keep off thH pestering flies. The spire always awoke from his after-dinner nap refresh ed, and ready to Join old cronies who sat out on the ground In front and talked of the price of cotton, the boll weevil. "chinches in the corn. the ruin of "c,raps" by hall, and "old times." It was on these occasions that the squire looked the typical Southern gentleman of the old school white linen suit, broad, white lawn tie, broad-brimmed straw hat. white socks, and low-cut shoes, with wide toes and. flexible soles. In the winter the squire stayed closely by his office stove, spat contemplatively from time to time Into the glowing grate, and spoke an occasional word to "Adjutant" Scrog gins. No outsider ever knew who Adjutant Scroggins was, except that he was the squire's ally, counselor, and faithful com panion by the ofliee stove In winter. The squire always referred to him and Introduced him to the casual caller as "my private secretiiry, suh. Colonel 8crofgina." AH the long hours of a gray winter day the squire and the colonel would sit together in sl!?noe, while they chewed reflectively and spat thoughtfully Into the glowing coals of the open stove. But now there is a knock on tne door, and st the squire's stentorian "Come in!" tt opens, and two dusky figures walk ap prehensively In. One Ir dressed in a black felt hat of wide and drooping brim, a glistening celluloid collar, readv-made tie or orimant green, runty black sult the abbreviated trousers showing a couple of inches of scarlet socks and brogan hoes. The other is attired In a green skirt with ostrich plumes of red and yellow.

' A file of sepctators slips In at the door and arranges itself along the walls of the office, for the word h;is gone forth that a negro couple has Just entered the equlre's office, and there ix an anticipa tory grin on every face. The Justice arises majestically, places , eyeglasses upon Ins rmae with ex act precision, asks a few questions, and transacts the necessary prellmlnatrle Then ((rawing himself to Imh full height with an expression of the most porten tous solemnity upon his face, he con templates the couple for a moment over the top of his glasses, clears his throat with funeral gravity, and begins: "We have assembled ere tgethcr my friends, upon this historic spot, where No digger's spade ' Shall e'er invade This classic shade. It shan't, And no connie bar Shall roam un thai-. Nor anywhar, it can't. to celebrate the nuptial ties of the couple present.

Its high-sounding phrase and allusions) to -well-known ob jects give huge delight to the average negro pair. They always depart Jslth an air of intense satisfaction, and the squire is sought out by would-be brides and bridegrooms from mileS around. The squire is still hale and hearty, but the office in the old court house has dis appeared with the building itself to make room for a modern new hotel, and he now occupies an office upstairs in a reg ular office building, where the atmos phere is not quite the same. The squire and the colonel are still sit ting by the old office stove. Their feel ing for each other is too Intimate to make. conversation necessary, and so they sit together In silence, spit accurately into the open stove door, and wait for litigants at law and couples desiring to be made "Coon and Coonie." i The April Smart Set. The automobile has found a perma nent place In modern fiction, but no better motor-car story has been writ ten than "The Pink Typhoon," by Har rison Robertson, which opens the April number of The Smart Set. The story concerns Itself with the delightful motor adventures of a dignified Judge In a Middle-West town, and two charming children play Important parts In an altogether charming nar rative. It Is a story which Is easy to read, but certainly not easy to forget. Perhaps no lssuo of any magaslne has ever contained such a variety ot fiction. There are stories which will will find a particularly good one in "The Woman In Gray," which Ethel Watts Mumford tells with her usual cleverness. A humorous love story, "The Way of a Maid," by John W. Knapp, will appeal to every lover of youth, and "Franco's Lucky Penny," by Frederic Taber Cooper, is a tragic story of great originality and strength. There Is a Mardl Gras story, "The Dragon Fly," by M. E. M. Davts, wherein the author has captured the very spirit of carnival time. Emma R. Kaufman contributes a theatrical story entitled . "The Understudy," which everyone who is at all Inter ested In the stage will admire. Ger trude Lynch tells a splendid love story called "The Man and the Bird," and Ellle Parker Butler has never been more humorous than In his story, ''Non Compos Mentis." Other fiction is by Arthur Stanley .Wheeler, Clara F. Mclntyre, Roland Franklin An drews, G. Vere Tyler and Willis Steell. The essay by Gelett Burgess, "The Sulphitlc Theory," is perhaps the cleverest work The Smart Set has ever published. In his best vein Mr. Burgess has some Innocent fun with the commonplace people of this world who are constantly making common place remarks. He gives a, most humorous list of these "public plati tudes," and expounds his delicious "theory." The poetry Is particularly excellent, there being lyrics from such writers as Bliss Carman, Charles G. D. Rob erts, Llzette Woodworth Reese. Wal lace Irwin, Elsa Barker. Edward Wilbur Mason. Martha . D. Blanchi. Edith M. Thomas and others. A man would forget the most of his troubles if he didn't take a vacation once in a wnne.
