GRANT, W. M. SOME VALUABLE INFORMATION 1 i I HAVE recently dug up in my library one of tlie favorite tiooks of Isaac Watts. This book lays down some definite rules ns how to improve tlie mind. I heartily recommend this book —especially to some folks. The first account we have of Ike was in 1674 and we lose sight of him in 1748. He seems to have spent the first seventy-four years of his early life in. at, around or near by Southhampton. He was the fifteenth and youngest of a small family of children, mostly boys and girls. When a child he was very fond of music. He was started to a music school at six, and took to it like | a jack ralflvt takes to alfalfa. He had been affleted with cramp from the time he was two years old and develop ed a powerful pair of lungs. This was fortunate, for it proved to be of great help to him afterward in teaching sing ing schools. Well, Ike grew up to be n great man in many ways. It will help you if you will keep in mind tlie fact that this Ike was not one and the same person with Ike Newton. The name, Ike, was one time very popular and helped a boy to be great when he got to lx* a man. It is a problem that baffles our brainest men as to what has become of all our Ikes. It is another puzzling question, whether the name lias come into disuse because no child is sufficiently promis ing to wear it, or whether the hoy lacked the inspiration that the name gives him to make him determined to make a great man or woman. I am inclined to the latter opinion. Let this lie as it may, the only wise course, it seems, to take is to wait and sec if any one is able to throw any more light on this subject. The former Ike was a great athlete. Athletics was One of the college re quirements in those days, but like a ■grent many other great moral ques tions, nowadays, it is elective. If ike i were living to-day Jack Dempsey would not be going over the country with his coat oft and his sleeves rolled up ban tering everybody for a fight. It would tie as easv for him to knock Jack out of the ring as for a rat to come out of his i hole when he takes a notion to. He was always chosen first at the Olympic games In a wrestling mated. This was the method of choosing out. Two men would be nominated, one from each side. These two would have to trv for first choice. They would take la piece of board, usually the paddle with which they hit the ball, in town ball, and spit on one side and ask his j opponent, “Wet or. dry?” Then he I would whirl it over several times be fore it hit the ground and the two best guests out of three won first choice. I After one of his greatest feats at the 'Olympiads—he had knocked four of their heavy-weights out of the ring as fast as they could shoot them in he was carried through the streets of Rome borne by four soldiers, aimd great shouts and applause. One of the Gracci twins presented him with the grown, hut he modestly pushed it aside | replying that he did not wish to be King as he had not time, but hoped to devote his time to a better purpose, such as writing, and teaching singing schools. j As to Theology. Ike was great, lie ! would flv his kite for his daily occu pation and write theology themes for I recreation. His argument in favor of foot-washing and falling from grace has never been doubted by any one. When it comes to movie stars, Ike was of first magnitude. None shown brighter in the theatrical firmaments than he. If he were living to-day, one catastrophe would have been avoided, and Haystack would have still been putting the stick on stamps and Ike would have been making mirth for the ' millions. j Usually there is a sad terminus to the life of every great man. Ike was no exception. This was caused Ity one I mistake. Sometimes it is by an over sight ami some times deliberate. In Ike’s case it was the former j But this mistake cast a shadow over all the rest of his early life. As he had before pushed the royal mown aside, he now pushes aside the matri monial crown when one of the* fair la dies attempted to place It on his head. \t the time it never once entered his miml as to what extent this dark shad ow would project Itself into his future life. As aforesaid, he was a promis ing voutli. He learned to love his bot- I tie before he was two years old, and his father was prouder of him than he was his favorite race horse. The ladies of the town seeing the pos sibilitles in the youth, and desiring to safeguard his welfare, had all the la i dies, clubs of the town to petition the | English crown for a revision of the 'constitution, reduce the list of capital crimes in the empire from the present 159 to about a dozen. In this they were successful, hut had It not been for one thing with the petitioners, the whole thing would have failed, and would have never been recorded In his tory. Abont six dozen of their repre sentatives besieged !ths palace with I resolutions and made very pathetic ap peals. Finally they were met by a stern refusal by the hard-hearted king, when one women broke down and cried land changed the whole course of his tory. George finally replied that it was bad enough to see men cry, but it comes to seeing a strong woman break dow*n and cry it was more than he could hear, and granted their pe tition. 1 Suicide was one of the crimes left BOY IS SEEING THRU PIG’S EYE • ALFRED Lemon, of New York City, is able to see through a pig's eye. which was graft ed into his head in id ace <jt an eye which was blinded. Dr. Ed ward Morgan, who performed the operation, denies that tlie Xpe riment was a failure and declares that the boy will lie able to see perfectly in two weeks. Alfred himself says his vision is improv ing. MRJOHNSHARPTON DIED SATURDAY Mr. John Shurpton, aged 33 years, died at his home in this city last Sat urday of tuberculosis. He had been sick for several weeks and was at Alto sanitoriuin for several weeks. He was the son of Mr. Marion Sharpton of tnis city. He leaves a wife and two chil dren. The funeral services occurred at the Christian church, of which the 'deceased was a member, on last Bun day. Rev. E. L. Sliellnutt conducted the funeral services with ('. M. Fergu son in charge of the arrangements. The deepest sympathy of a host of friends is extended to the bereaved relatives. THE FATE OF THE APOSTLES (Richmond Christian Advocate) The Book of Acts was never finished. Among the questions Bible students of ten ask are those concerning the fate of the first century apostles. History and legend furnish the following: IMathew was supposed to have suf fered martyrdom by the sword at a city in Ethiopia. 2. Mark was dragged through the streets of Alexandria, Egypt, until he expired. 3. Luke was hanged upon an olive tree in Greece. 4. John was nut into a cauldron of burning oil at Rome, but escaped death. He afterward died a natural death at Ephesus, in Asia. 5 James, the Great, after suffering great persecution, was beheaded at Je rusalem. James the Less was thrown from •i pinnacle or wing of the temple arid ihen beaten to death with a fuller’s dub. ■S. Bartholomew* was fried alive hy the command of a barbarous king. 9. Andrew was bound to a cross, where he preached to the people until he expired. 10. Thomas was run through the body with a lance near Malipar, in the East Indies. 11. Jude was shot to death hy ar rows. 12 Simon Zelotes was crucified in Persia. 13. Matthias was first stoned and afterwards beheaded. 14. Peter was crucified with his head downward. 15. Paul, the last and chief of the apostles, also died by violence. He was beheaded at Rome. Grand Master Perry Met With Winder Odd Fellows Tuesday Night H<>n. James A. Perry, Grand Master of the jurisdiction of Georgia Odd Fel lows, met with the Winder Odd Fel lows Tuesday night at their regular meeting. Brand Master Perry smoke for un hour to the members present along tin* lines of Odd Fellowship, giving in brief the history of the order, telling what has been done and what is be ing done hy Georgia (hid Fellows and Odd Fellows over the entire United States. Mr. Perrv’s speech was very much onloyisl and greatly encouraged the local brothers in their work. Past Master R. P. Adams, of The Star of Bethlehem lodge, was present and assisted materially in the work The Initiatory degree was conferred. on flu* Pst punished with death. The T ’nPefi States adopted this taw from England—rather they borrowed It un til they could try it out and seeing it worked so well it was finally adopted. The modern tendency is to abolish cap ital punishment, and no doubt it would pas® the legislature as easy as It Is to build a fence of blacksnakes in Africa, if it wr-e not for this one capital of fense. lam In favor of abolishing cap ital punishment ’f it is prefaced by an act to abolish suicide. The conclusion is that a young man ought not to he so interested in ball eam**s or ball room or swimming hole, or throwing dice or shooting eraT>s or any other athletic sports as to forvet to mnrrv. Th only excuse for a mar riage late In life is a second marriage. If nnv one asks you whv you got married, tell them you don’t recollect.
