John Peter Gabriel Muhlenberg took charge of the little Lutheran church at Woodstock, Virginia, and for three years attended faithfully to his pastersl duties. During that time, however, the revolutionary rumblings became louder and louder, and the preacher became more end mere Interested In the burning question of Independence. Finally, one Sabbath morning, he delivered an impressive discourse en patriotism, and dwelt at length on the duty of all good citizens to uphold their country In the hour of need. At the oleee he exclaimed In a voice like a trumpet, "There I a time for all things; a time to preach and a time to fight, and now la the time to fight. Then throwing off hie sacerdotal gown he stood before his astonished congregation .In the full regimental dress of a Virginia colonel. He ordered the drums to be beaten at the Church door for recruits, and on that day. nearly 300 men enHated, Including almost every able-bodied, man of his congregation. He was made colonel of the Eighth Virginia regiment, afterwards became a majer-gen-raV and save proof of his bravery on many n hard-fought battlefield. ICepyHgfct. mt, by Joeepa B. Bowles.)

A City Club.

The cltlxens of Richmond have come forward handsomely and generously to the support of the Y. M. C. A. As is weU known, the ostensible object of this canvass for money waa that the boys of Richmond whether rich or poor should all be able to become members of the Y. M. C. A. There is to be hereafter no feeling that the Y. M. C. A. is a rich man's son's club. Whether this was ever true we doubt very much. Mr. Sharon Jones In his straightforward speech on the finances and work of the institution, on the night that the captains and their workers met at their dinner, explained that many and many a boy has had his membership card paid for by men -who know that he could not afford it. We hope this will keep up and go farther!

A rather distinguished citizen of Richmond much interested in the progress of the town which he had left many years before once remarked, "It seems to me that the men of this town need a club. Every time l wish to make an appointment or to find anyone I am told that I will b met in the hotel lobby." Everyone knows the truth of this. The establishment 6f the Elk's' club in its new quarters has more or less changed this situation for the business and professional men and that has been a mighty profitable thing for everyone. But isn't it the truth that there are mighty few places where men of all creeds, of all lodges, of all businesses, of all political faiths can get together? There would be a much better feeling all the way around if these men could get together. We are sure it is not because they would not enJoy it and not because they do not want to the truth is that we are all pretty much sheep and all wait for some bellwethers to set the procession to moving. In a few cities in the United States there is such a thing as a "City Club." The truth is that these organizations do not take in everyone but that is because everyone is not interested. In Richmond the citizens almost all are interested in the conduct of business the public business, whether it be trade trips, franchises, fall festivals, conventions, progressive legislation. We are not interested in the Commercial club and the Y. M. B. C. not because they do not fill the niche that they ought to occupy but because that is a perfectly well known niche. What interest has-a man down at the Hoosier Drill in paying several months' house rent to belong to the Commercial club and if he cannot belong what can he be expected to do when that or any other organization starts out to represent that it represents Richmond? THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION HERE THAT REPRESENTS RICHMOND. BUT THERE CAN BE! Where can its meetings be held? Why, at the handsomest and most complete club house in Richmond at the Y. M. C. A. Here is a room in which large meetings can be held a place where meals can be bought at reasonable prices a gymnasium, a swimming pool, writing rooms, places in which to play games, pool tables, music all the healthy forms of recreation.

The truth of it is that in the last few years the shop men, the railroad men, the clerks in the stores the great army of people In this town the real Richmond, have lifted up their heads and they are about to lift up their voices. We have seen signs in the formation of tbe Progressive League of men who live in the side streets and who are paying for their houses that THEY DO NOT INTEND TO be left out of the affairs of Richmond for a minute. They used to sit back and wait for some one else to get up and tell them what to do. But that time has passed. It has been known for years that this class of citizens is the only class that has enough intelligence to split a ticket. Any election Judge or ward politicians will tell you so. The professional man usually makes a mess of it. They are the ones who are not impressed by flub-dub and read the news with an idea of using it in making up their opinions.

At tbe same time the merchants and manufacturers of this city have grown in progressive channels to such an extent that they and the men that serve them will be found with many common bonds of Interest. We have already related tbe circumstances of the head of a Richmond industry one of the largest in the world who called one of his men in and complimented him on the position he had taken on one of the public utility questions! NEITHER OF THE TWO BROAD CLASSES OF CITIZENS HAS EVER GONE OUT OF ITS WAY TO MAKE ADVANCES. The railroader is a proud man, so is the man who works at the Hoosier Drill and at Gaar's and the Stair Piano company. These men do not thrust themselves forward. These men if they are approached on this subject will be enthusiastic on one condition. That .whatever the price that is paid for admission to such a club enjoying the privileges of the Y. M. C. A. that it be the same price that all others pay and that, the price be not a prohibitive one. We are not here suggesting what the price might be nor what arrangement be made with the Y. M. C. A., but that the thing be started from both ends at the same time so that there will be no question as to the real deBlre on the side of both.

As for the religious part of the Y. M. C. A. we believe that anything which makes for good citizenship is commonly regarded as good religion these days. The time for burying dogma and creed and getting some human results all the way round has come. There ought to be some religion in seeing that boys and men grow up with strong bodies and well developed minds. There ought to be some religion in putting Christian teachings into every- day affairs where people can use them. There ought to be some relation between the golden rule and a public service corporation; between the man who works for another and the man who hires him. THERE IS A GREAT NEED EVERYWHERE THAT ALL OF US FIND OUT THAT WTE ARE ALL PRETTY MUCH ALIKE; THAT THOUGH THE CLOTHES AND CUSTOMS AND HABITS OF THOUGHT ARE A TRIFLE STRANGE TO US FROM NOT GETTING TOGETHER THAT EVERYBODY HAS HOPES AND FEARS AND GOODWILL. All that is needed is that people rub up against each other often enough to find it out.

In 1909 the telegraph and telephone companies, together with similar concerns that use electric wires in this country, expended over $7,000,000 in the purchase of poles. ' THIS DA 7 b

In the old days a man known as Judge Douglass lived in Helena, Mon,t The judge had met with an accident if his youth and had lost both of hi legs above the knees. He never wou' get artificial legs, but had some b! leather pads made to fit on the ends o the stumps and walked on them. Locomotion was slow for the Judg1 but be managed to cover a good den' of ground and was very fond of walk log out on the edge of tbe town, whert he could take his exercise without being the subject of remark from strangers in the city. One day an Englishman came to Helena to, hunt. He had some letters and put up at the Helena club. He stayed around for several days. Finally, aft er a light fall of snow, he decided to go out Into tbe mountains and get a sheep or a deer or something. He left early in the morning. When It came night he had not returned. His hosts around the club waited until 8 o'clock and then decided to go out and look him up, thinking he might have been lost in one of tbe gulches or canyons in the hills. They formed a rescue party and went out to the edge of the town. There they met the Englishman, who was wildly excited. "Did you get anything?" they asked him. "No," he replied, "not yet, but I've been tracking an elephant for the last three hours." Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. Juries In the Old Day. In olden times when a jury in England remained Impervious to the judge's gentle mode of persuasion fine and imprisonment were resorted to. The Jury that acquitted Sir Nicholas Throckmorton was condemned to eight months' imprisonment in addition to the payment of a large sum of money. In the reign of Queen Elizabeth a jury, having reduced a prisoner's alleged crime of murder to that of manslaughter, was at once sent to prison and bound over in a large sum to be of good behavior. Penalties were likewise inflicted upon the Innocent wife and children of the offending Jurymen.

The trumpets blew at midnight on the nelds of all the world And misty battle flags against the high sky were unfurled. While Greek and Frank and Bwlsa and Pol and Saxon rose to give Their' greeting to the men who die that Freedom's cause may live. The stare above Thermopylae looked down upon the sight; ' The battle line of shades of those who fell in Freedom's fight Stood straight and true aa e'er It did those year and years ago. And swords flashed out in quick salute along the stalwart row. Forgotten legions marched the hills and trod the desert sands. Great regiments unknown to men swung up saluting hands, And on the eeaa old galleons and bygone fleet on fleet Bent up forgotten flags, a when reviewing columns meet.
