PASSU OFYANKEES RECENT CENSUS SHOWS FEW OF REAL STOCK LEFT. Total Disappearance Seems Not Far Distant Cape Cod, Mass., Center of Yankeedom, Where They Still May Be Found. Providence, Mass. Recent census Investigations, together with the result of genealogical researches, havo brought to light the surprising fact that the real Yankee Is fast disappear ing. I.Ike his predecessor, the Antorli can Indian, this original stuck of the), llrst white settlers In New England Is, passing, with this difference, that while the Indian has been eliminated tho Yankee Is being absorbed. Abrmul, particularly In England, the custom still holds of referring to nil Americans as Yankees, and this nc counts for the survival of n term which will soon havo no real applica tion The day Is not far distant, Iti Nsould seem, which will mark the last of the real Yankees, when a chronicler mny tell of their passing as Cooper told of the last of tho Mohicans. Indeed, tho disappearance of Uie real Yankee from Now Englnnd Is In tnniiv ways similar to tho disappear ance of the Indian. Each race In turn, alter dominating n very lnrgo terri tory, centered more and more In ono small district. With tho red men of New Englnnd this was tho territory on which King Philip mado his last stand; with tho Yankee It Is Capo Cod. On Cape Cod, Indeed, tho Yankee la still to be found. It was there that he llrst settled, nnd It seems likely It h there that he will last survive, i'oi moro than 200 years this sandy spll of land has been tho center of Yankee dom, genoratlqri following generatloi with less change In all that time thur has occurred in the last two decades It waB at Provlncetown thnt the I'll grlms landed nearly three centuries ago, so thut the cape comes naturallj by its Yankeo stock. Indeed, It Is onl of recent years that Capo Cod has fell tho encroaching effect of modernity From this Hen-washed stretch or lane the early Yankees sailed forth to covei tho world of trado with their licet ol clipper ships, just as their forefathers did from tho "tight Httlo Island" oc tho opposite side of tho Atlnntic. These original Yankees took to the sea like young ducks, almost as soon ns they wero able to loavo their moth er's wing. They manned anil officered the little home-built merchantmen, which sailed from Hoston and tho New England ports in tho colonial days. Tho Infant navy of tho colonies In tho revolution was alive with them In every sense of tho word. During the war of IS 12 scarcoly an able-bodied man remained In n capo vlllago; young nnd old they wore nflont, either in tire regular service or on privateers, tc harass tho British ling on the high seas. Thereafter, from tho closo of that conflict through the civil wnr and until tho late seventies, wherever nn Amer ican ship was cruising and that was In almost every sea her skipper, mates and crewmen wero likely to bo Capo Coders, born and bred. Later in life. If they escaped the perils or storm and wreck, and mutiny and hostllo natives, they becamo ship owners. Then they maintained, somo or them, ofTlces In Hoston or Now York or Now Hedford, nnd their fleets sailed forth and enmo homo laden. Tho foundations of somo of America's greatest fortunes woro mado in this way. Hut whether fleet owners or moro sea captains, they ono nnd all cher ished a love for tho sturdy sand spit which had been their homo and In tended somo day to return to It and settle down. Thnt they did this tho hundreds of handsome, Mibstnntin dwellings on the capo now testify. 1 is n curious fact that In tho old daytl there was scarcely a houso on tho main street of n Capo Cod vlllago which was not the homo of a "captain" somebody or other. That was Yankeedom ns It used to be. Hut Cnpo Cod has changed great ly In tho lust quarter of a century. Its sons no longer go to sea.

Odd Looking Vehicle Once Popular Type of Land Craft. Jvansns City, Mo Coorgo W. Mc Canuo of Jackson villi, Mo., Is I he owner of a queer looking laud craft. In tho days of Its making (ISM) It wns known ns i 'Virginia Trailer." It was built for tho trail lo the west, and represents ten times the amount of labor that 't, put upon the very strong est nml best wagons of today. The tires around the lenr wheels are live feet six Inches In diameter, nnd are made of hammered lion. After thou Hands of miles of tiavel tho tires are three-fourths of an Inch thick, two Inches broad anil the four weigh over -100 pounds. The wagon was constructed In Lin coln county, Kentucky, by William McCnnne, for the purpose of lemovlng his family of six children and his Wagon Known as "Virginia Trailer." household goods to Mlssoml. Two blacksmiths hammered out Iron bars for all the braces, lings, straps and hub bauds. The picture shows the feed box on the tongue, where It was placed when the oxen wero feeding. Whllo on the journey tho feed box was bolted to the rear end. Thero were two "booms." across which can vas was fastened to protect the fam ily. To drnw this ponderous vehicle from Kentucky to Missouri Mr. McCanno used two yoke of oxen and a span of horses. The wagon had a capacity of six tons of freight. Arriving in Missouri, Mr. McCanno took up liOO acres of laud at the gov ernment valuation of $1.25 per acre. Much of this land Is yet In the hands of his descendants. Jacksonville, for tho most purl, Is built upon the original tract. Mr. McCanno, the maker of the wag on, was a veteran of the war of 1812. It has bp"ii estimated that were a modem wagon factory given the con tract to duplicate the "Virginia Trail er," using only hammered Iron, and making mortises Instead of holes, It would cost nearly $1,000. The ancient vehicle was constructed with thought ful care for oveiy emergency. The hubs for the rear wheels nro nearly as largo as heor kegs, being 20 Inches In length and ten Inches In diameter. Tho bed Is 1C reet from end to end. Tho "Virginia Trailer" was modeled Romowhnt after the army wagoiiB used In the last war with Croat Hrltaln. Every piece of wood about it is thick and nearly ns hard as Iron. Tho ball from no Indian rifle could penetrate It, and a ring of such wngons, defend ed by Amerlcnn pioneers, would form an impregunble fortification against their copper-colored enemies. A modi fied form of tho early day army wagon wns made In Virginia for long dis tance travel to the west nnd else where, and from this comes the name. COMMEMORATE NOTED DEBATE.

David, In his liingnlllcent palace ol cedar, looked out upon tho placo ol worship for tho tuition nnd saw only a tent, which must soon decay, as tho Mosaic tent had decayed. It did not seem light and llttlug that any private house, even n king's should be more beautiful and costly than Cod's house. It did not honor Coil nor religion. The prophet llaggal (1:1), live centurion Inter, uttered the Lord's rebuke to his people, "Is It time for you. O ye, to dwell in your celled houses, nnd this house lie waste?" The king, with u noble longing for the good of his people and the honor or (loll, desired to build u templo that would worthily express tho nation's feelings toward their Cod and strengthen their religious moral llfo Accordingly ho consulted with Nathan the prophet. V. 2. "Nnthun mild . . . Do all that Is in thine heart; for Cod is with thee." David's deslro was right. V. :i. "The samo night, . . . the word of Cod came to Nathan." In u vision (2 Sam. 7: 17.) Tho prophet was right In tho iissur anco that the object of David's desire wns pleasing to Cod, but there wns need or light upon the best wny of ac complishing It. Cod lint! a belter an swer to Dnld's prayer than David Imagined. V. I. "Thou shall not." Eniphiislze the pronoun "THOU shall not build me u house lo dwell In." It iiliull ho built, but not by David's bunds. There Is a deep lesson for un in Cod's treatment of David's plan. We are tempted to do a right thing In a wrong way, or a second best way. Cod approved of Jacob's possessing tho birthright, hut not of his method of obtaining It. Tho early Christians were light in their expectation of the fact of the early coming again of Christ, but not necessarily of the exact method of his coming. Cod approves of our desire for tho conversion of men. for the unity of the church, for the reformation of the land from cer tain evils, but that does not necessari ly carry with It his approval of every method nnd saying of revivalists mid reformers. Instead of David's building a house for Cod, Cod will build u houso for David. "I toll thee . . . tho Lord will build theo an house." The om phasls Is on thee. His descendants shnll ho on tho throim for evermore. V. 1. "I will notlle him In mine houso and In my kingdom Tor over." Tho real kingdom or Cod consists ol his people, gradually increasing In numbers, in character, in power rot good, till the kingdom shall include tho wide, wide woild, the spirit unl temple in which Cod dwells, nud is worshiped by all creation for evermore. Through the whole history of Judah there was but one dynasty, whllo in tho Northern Kingdom there wore seven different dynnstles In their l'J kings. "After the destruction of tho templo and the extinction of David's dynasty lu Jerusalem, the writer In Chronicles nnd tho post-exlllnn Prophets regnrd the promise as 'Still In force, and still In process of fiilllllnient to tho seed of David, with no limit to its eternal operation." This was the period of transition from the formal to tho spir itual, but iiouo the less real, kingdom and Inheritance of David. Tho com plete fulfillment was lu Jesus Christ, "great David's gi enter Son." In the works of Kell, "Tho posterity of David could only last forever by running out in a person who lives forever; that Is, by culminating In the Messiah, who lives forovor, and or whoso kingdom thero Is no end." "The prediction or Halaam, of a scepter aud star arising out of Jacob, Is now to be unfolded In tho scepter or Dnvld's line." Tho New Testament ropentedly speaks of Jesus as tho son or David, and Inher itor or tho promises (Luko 1:31-3:1; 20:11-11; Acts 2:2'J-:!1; 13: 22, 23.) ' Soon after Clulst's death, authority and almost oxlstciico as a soparato na tion wns taken nway from tho Jows, nt the destruction of Jerusalem. Hut bo fore this tlmo Christ set up his king dom, which wns David's kingdom, in .mother form, for David's kingdom wns In his time tho visible kingdom or Cod In tho world. And thus David's king dom, through Ills descendant nnd heir, still continues, nud will abldo forever, bringing all nations nud peoples under Its sway, and inoie than realizing all tho visions of glory which, filled tho Jowlsh hcnri.
