If I Can Live.
If. I can live
To ; make some pale face brighter,
; and to give
1 A second lustre to some tear-dimmed
eye,
Or e'en impart
One throb of comfort to an aching
heart,
Or cheer some way-worn soul in
passing by;
If I can lend
A strong hand to the fallen, or de-
; fend
The right against a single envi
ous strain,
My life, though bare .
Perhaps of much that seemeth dear
and fair
To us on earth, will not have been
in vain.
The purest joy,
Most near to heaven, far from earth's
alloy,
Is biding clouds give way to sun
and shine;
And 'twill be well,
If on that day of days the angels .tell
Of me: "She did her best for one
of Thine."
Helen Hunt Jackson.

A Brief Outline of the Career of I
"Elijah III."
. John Alexander Dowie, self-styled
Elijah III, and founder of Zion City,
near Chicago, died in the former city
last Saturday morning. Dowie was
born in Edinburg, Scotland, in 1847.
He was afterwards, taken to Australia
by his parents, where he was employ
ed as a clerk. At the age of twenty
he returned to Edinburgh and took a
five-year course in theology and the
arts. Again in 1878 he returned to
Australia and set up the first Free
Christian tabernacle and organized a
divine healing association, and in this
work gained much notoriety by going
out into the rural districts and ap
parently effecting many cures of
putrid fever by the laying on of
hands and prayers. In 1888 Dowie
and-his family landed in San Fran
cisco, finally settlin in Chicago,
where he and his wife established
the Christian Catholic Church in Zion
City. In 1901 the first building was
erected in Zion City, and a year later'
the embryo city had 10,000 inhabi
tants and its population continued to
increase for a year or two. In 1903
dissensions began to arise among the
divine healers and Zion City was
placed in charge of a Federal Court
receiver. The receivership was soon
dissolved on Dowie's representation
that the city could pay its indebted
ness dollar for dollar A year ago
the prophet was kicked out by his
first lieutenant, Voliva, charging.
Dowie with gross mismanagement.
About this time the divine healer was
deserted by his wife and children for
one cause and another. At the time
of his death Dowie had only about
2 00 faithful followers. At this time
the assets of Zion City are believed
to be close to $28,000,000, the prin
cipal feature of which is a large lace
factory. Exchange.
ter all? That it does seem some
times as though he loved himself a
little better than you? That he can
even bear to differ with you some
times in matters that concern you
very much? And, oh, dear little
woman,' that he will forget just what
you want him to remember some
times? Now. just take our advice
and don't tell anybody. He is your
husband your other self and you
ought to cover his faults just like
you do your own." Scotland Neck

He's Your Husband.
A great deal is said by lecturers
and a great deal is written by writers
about how good husbands ought to
be to their wives and of course
they ought. But sometimes it seems
as if the wife being good to the hus
band is omitted. . Here's a sugges
tion which we clip from the Rich
Square Times:
"Don't complain of your husband
to anyone, not even to your own
mother. If she is the wise woman
you think her, she will respect you
all the more. Did you think when
you married your Will or your Harry
that he was the one perfect man in
all the world, and now you have
found out; that he is very human, af- J

Proud of His Pater.
Although Mr. Hobbs was taken at
his face value by his son and heir,
there were times when the youthful
William's admiring tributes embar
rassed his parents in the 'family
group.
"I had quite an encounter as I
came home to-night," the valorous
Mr. Hobbs announced at the tea
table. "Two men slightly intoxicated
were having a quarrel on the corner.
As usual, there was no policeman in
sight, and they were in a fair way
to knock each other's brains out,
when I -stepped between and sepa
rated them."
"Weren't yJu afraid, father?"
asked Mrs. Hobbs in a quavering
voice.
"No, indeed, why should I be?"
inquired Mr. Hobbs, inflating his
chest.
"I guess there isn't anybody could
knock any brains out of my father!"
said Willie proudly. Youth's Companion.
The 'Origin of Buncombe.
"It's all buncombe!" is easy to say
and easy to understand, but few,
know its origin. In early legislative
days a member of the National House
of Representatives from North Caro
lina was hofding forth at such length
on fan immaterial topic that he was
called to order on the ground that
his! remarks were irrelevant. He
turned sharply upon the member
calling him with the remark: "You
may not care to listen, but I'm not
talking to the House, now, anyway.
I'm talking to my folks down in Bun
combe County;"
The same reply is credited to Gen
eral Vance when he was a member
of J the House, and perhaps with
truth, for ; With all the jokes he per
petrated; it would be strange if some
were not borrowed; but Buncombe
had even got into the dictionary,
through! its j first boom, before Vance
got! into! the House. Ed.
