A POEM OF THE PAST.
John Hawkins’s Parody Recalled by
His Tragic Death.
(From the Keowee Courier.)
The recent tragic death of John
Hawkins, formerly of Newberry, re
called to the mind of one to whom
he gave it, the following poem writ
ten by him about the year 1882. It
was published in a periodical of the
day. While it will be readily rec
ognised as a parody, yet it evidences
much talent for a young rmn of
about twenty years:
The Devil.
( Newspaper Idyl.)
Late one summer’s evening dreary.
I was sitting, weak and weary,
Mailing papers to subscribers be
hind a year or moife.
Suddenly I heard a rustle,
Something like a paper bustle, .
Wielded by a man of muscle, just
outside the office door.
“ ’Tis the foreman,” low I muttered,
“standing at the office door.
Wanting money—nothing more.”
"Or perhaps 'tis some blue-stocking,”
And before I heard a knocking
Up I sprang, and quick unlocking,
Open wide I flung the door.
But I scarce maintained my level,
Enjoy Your Meals
By Simply Eating a Little Pleasant
Tablet After Each of Them
A TABLET DIGESTS A MEAL.
When digestion is perfect the fluids
necessary to this process come nat
urally to the aid of the stomach. They
arc of right proportion and do their
work speedily and well. When indi
gestion and dyspepsia are prevalent,
these same juices come slowly if a„
all. are weak and insufficient or are
filled with strong acids and alkalies.
When such a condition exisita each
meal is a hardship upon the digestive
organs. The meal should strengthen
the juices, but on the contrary It
weakens them, so that man by the
very act of eating causes conditions
to arise which of themselves bring
him pain and loathing for the next
meal.
By eating one of Stuart’s Dysepsia
Tablets you mix the tablet with your
aaliva and it goes into your stomach
a strong, vigorous fluid, many times
more powerful than the natural di
gestive juices. These tablets are made
up from natural vegetable and fruit
essences and are composed from
Hydrastis, Golden Seal, Lactose, Nux,
Ascetic Pepsin, Bismuth and Jamai
ca Ginger. There is the formula and
one grain of it will digest 3,000 grains
of food in any stomach. Beside di
gesting the food it will give the blood
the power to enrich the digestive
fluids so after a time nature will take
care of itself. Though you have no
stomach trouble one of these tablets
after each meal is a powerful assist
ance to nature and is an excellent
habit to make.
Go to any druggist and ask nis opin
ion of Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets. We
will abide his answer if he be an
honest man. They sell for 50c per
package. Send us your name and ad
dress and we will send you a trial
package by mail free. Address F. A.

The Want Ads Are
Business Peacemakers!
In the store, the office, the factory, the work
places, the home—wherever human interests clash
wherever workers and employers come to be dis
cordant, wherever new workers or new work are
the urgent need—the road to peace lies through
the want ad. columns of The Herald.
In almost every case, a peace-wrecking incident
of daily life needs but the simple remedy of a lit
tle want advertising—whether it is the sudden
exit of the servant, stenographer, clerk, cook,
boarders, roomer, tenant; or the unexpected need
to quickly “raise some money” by selling an
article.
More and more, even' day, in the lives and af
fairs of the people of this city, the want ads. are
coming to play the parts of adjusters, of vexation
pi eventers, of Home and Business Peacemakers.
Herald Ads Bring Results

Gospei in its relation to local condi
tions,” taking as his special topic,
“Wanted a Man.”
Rev. O. P. Gilbert, at the Second
Baptist church, will at the evening
service deal with the needs of the
city morally.
Rev. W. H. Dodd, of Madison, Ga.,
will conduct both services at Curtis
Baptist church.
For before me stood the Devil,
With his tail crooked like a bevel,
trailing on the office floor;
Hanging oil his arm and trailing
down behind him on the
floor;
’Twas the Devil—nothing more.
For a moment I stood gazing
At the feet of this amazing
Spectacle, then raising my dazed
eyes up from the floor,
I perceived his teeth were gnashing,
And his burning eyes were flashing,
And ho frightened me by dashing
his pitchfork against the
door —
Frightened me by madly dashing
this against my office door;
Slightly scared me—nothing more.
“Say!” he cried in tones of thunder,
While I stood in silent wonder;
“When your papers every Monday
are sent lound from door to
door,
Do not s(sme—tell me, I pray you—
Who subscribed refuse to pay you—
Do not some of these delay you,
prizing not your wondrous
lore,
Having no appreciation for your
labors long ar.d soro?
Tell me truly, I implore.”
Quickly then before him kneeling
(I will own a slavish feeling,)
Secret, sacred thoughts revealing,
all my griefs I did outpour—
Told him that, with all my saving,
I could scarce allay the craving
Of my stomach, unaccustomed to
the Tanner-life I bore.
This I told him while before him I
was kneeling on the floor—
Told the Devil this—and more.
“Rise!” said he, “dismiss your sor
row;
Try to live—beg, steal or borrow
Means to live until the morrow, in
which time shall be no mora
Then shall all hell’s fiercest fires
Burn eternally the liars,
Sisters, mothers, sons and sires,
who owe for a year or
more—
Scorch arid, bake and burn subscrib
ers who add nothing to your
store.
I’ll torment them evermore.”
Now, forgetting how I'd smarted,
Up in gratitude I started,
But his Highness had departed, as
he entered—through ; i the
door;
And the sunlight on me streaming
Proved to me that I’d been dreaming;
But within my heart, Hope beam
ing, breathes: “They’ll burn
forevermore.”
.Slowly I resumed my labor—clos
ing first the gffice door—
Mailing papers—as before.

EMMANUEL MOVEMENT
IS NOT A NEW THING
j Father Sherman Says
Catholics Have Long Used
Method.
\
NEW YORK.—Father Thomas E.
Sherman, son of the great General
Sherman, thinks that, the followers
of tlie Emmanuel movement are just
beginning to grasp an idea quite fa
miliar to Catholics for centuries past.
He declares that the church “has had.
I and used, the same method of heal
j ing through the mind for hundreds
iof years. Our confessional takes the
j place of suggestion. Ever since I
was seven years old I have relieved
! my body of mental troubles by confes
j sion. The great interest with which
I the people are receiving the Emman
j uel movement show's the desire of
| the American people for a more ade
j quate religion, one which touches the
! whole body and mind.”
He also contrasts this movement
with Christian Science as follows:
“Unless there is something to off
set the Christian Science teachings,
the country’s asylums will be so
crowded th'at they will be a burden
to the public. The teachings of
Christian Science are contrary to na
ture. It would have you believe that
what is, is not. In interviews that
I have had with several superinten
dents of insane asylums, they tell me
that there are many patients in them
as the result of a stud) of Christian
Science. The doctrine would have
one believe in his senses, and teaches
that nothing is real. The Emmanuel
movement is the antithesis ol the
Christian Science teachings, in that
it teaches people that pain is real,
and that evil is real; but it teaches
that these pains are brought on by
a. wrong state of mind. For years
and years the Catholic church has
used suggestion to ease the mind and
mental troubles of our church mem
bers.”
What the superintendents told Fa
ther Sherman of the large numbers
of followers of Christian Science In
our insane asylums, applies, as is well
known, with equal truth to persons
given over to Spiritualism, which has
unsettled many a mind to the point
of dethroning reason altogether, and
too often permanently and incurably.
BUFFALO LADY AT

Miss Eva Lemert Will Be

THE SPARK
by c. b. Quincy.
The liners loom through the dripping
gloom—
The vexed propellers thrash—
But through the gray they hold their
way.
And close In a grinding crash.
The sea's false friend, the fog, will
send
More thousands to their doom.
As rent asunder, the ships go under,
Alone In their grave of gloom.
But a sudden spark flies through the
dark.
And over the leagues of sea,
And the eastwardbound and the west
wardhound
Wheel at the chattering key.
Spark answers spark, and through the
dark
The ouestlng sisters leap;
No Judas mist can balk the tryst
They hold on she bam»d deep.
No longer bound where the cables
sound
The blind sea-creatures' lair, *
The spark flies free across the sea
And through all the waves of air.

help since pur comin.> to this city.
Quite a number have been converted

who are in the condition that he was.
Others who were backsliders have
been reclaimed and a prosperous Sun
day school work has been establish
ed. A large amount of relief work
has been done, but we are having
more demands than our present in
come will permit us to meet. Small
amounts are being continuall given
out, but sometimes several dollars
are needed to help some worlhy per
son who through sickness or somo
other cause over which they have no
control have been unable to meet
their rent. Such oases are often call
ed to our notice and we are taking
this means of asking the charitably
inclined if they will not send us
something that we may be able to
help others more and do all that Is
absolutely needed. Any response will
be very much appreciated. Phone
25G7 and any call will he gladly an

OF INTEREST TO CATHOLICS
Women in Churcn Choirs Father Lambert’s Golden Jubilee—lnsult lo a Dead
Cardinal—Governor-General Thanks Catholic Clergy—l. C. T. S.
Notts and Comments
NEW YORK.—An Interesting pa
per contributed by Rev. Ludwig Bon
vin, S. J., to the Catholic Fortnightly
Review, of St. Louis, Mo., upon the
much debated question: "May Women
Sing in Our Church Choirs?" is now
published i.* pamphlet form in that
city.
Meanwhile, Bishop Canrvin, of
Pittsburg, lately tried to solve this
vexed question, by asking Cardinal
Merry del Val to ascertain definitely
“if It is true that women nmy sin;;
in the choirs or churches not oni;
when they slug together with the oili
er male members of the congregation
in the body of the church, but also--
when they are separated, find farm
either alone, or with men and boys,
a special choir on an elovateiV pla
form or choir loft in the rear of Hie
churches, as Is the custom in the
United States?”
To which question the Cardinal
promptly replied: “I hasten to In
form you that, the Holy Father has
not given permission for women to
form part of the church choirs in the
United States; and that the state
ment that such permission Jins been
granted by His Holiness is devoid
of foundation. His Holiness' wish Is
that llie decree of the Sacred Con
gregation of Hites in regard to
church choirs should bo fallifully ob
served In the Untied Slates as else
where.”
. Finally, a formal “Dubinin," nr
question, submitted by the editor of
"Church Music" in (his country, lo
the authorities in Rome, has brought
substantially the same answer.
On the 11th of Febduary Rev, L.
A. Lambert, LL.D., the veteran editor
in chief of (he New York Freeman’s
Journal, will celebrate Ills fiftieth
year In Hie priesthood.

ROME, Ga.- -The wife, sister and
iliree small children of Rev. Henry
Wllmar, who was sentenced to three
years In the penitentiary on the
charge of cheating and swindling, are
practically objects of charity.
Wllmar Is a Baptist minister, who
was arrested in Chattanooga, Tenn.,
last. September, while serving one of
the suburban churches there. Since
Ills arrest he has been in jail here,
having been unable lo make bond.
The evidence at his trial wont to
show that lie hnd solicited funds for
church purposes and then applied
them to his own use. His favorite
plan was to pretend that, he was rais
ing funds for a new church building.
He was shown to have operated In
Chattanooga, Fort Payne, Ala., Ath
ens, and Rome, Ga., though he was
on trial only for his actions while
here.
There was great Interest In his
trial, and It occupied two days. Wil
rnar'B attorneys will make the usual
motion for a new trial. If he is sent
to Ihe penitentiary he declares he
will employ his leisure time In writ
ing a hook, and In sending weekly
sermons lo his Chattanooga congre
gation, as has boon his habit while
awaiting trial here.
