~Tf LBEKT HASSEK, of CJer/
\ many, was a recent visitor
to Allegheny to sec his sister.
? Kuniguuile llasser, who thirty
years ago served in his stead in the
army of the Fatherland. For two
years and six months she served hefore
it was discovered that she was not
her brother, who was the person drafted.
The Herman lass of twenty years
was one of a family of eight children,
seven of whom were girls. The mother
was an Invalid, the father blind and
tlie breadwinner for the family was
ihe only sou, Albert llasser. The
Fatherland was engaged in war. Albert
llasser was drafted and starvation
stared the family in the face.

brother's plane. The family wuited.
trembling ami fearful of discovery,
while the brave girl put on her brother's
clothes, imitated his appearaU'-e in
every possible way, and marched away
with the others drafted to the war.
Patriotism is strong in the <Ionium
woman, and it gave to the spirit of
Kmiigunde Hasser a courage fully
equal to that of the men of her company.
Her letters home were frequeut
and they were all signed with her
brother's name and addressed to herself.
Kef ore many weeks of army libwere
gone by the girl grew desperately
home sick, but that made no difference.
She proved herself as good a
sollder as the brother whose place she
tilled could possibly have been. Cheering
letters addressed to himself came
to her from Albert and never onee did
she think of giving tip the desperate
role she had assumed.
During her term of service she
fought in three battles, but was never
once wounded. Twice she was made a
prisoner. U took quite as much eourItt

prison life as it did to stand firm to her
purpose on the hattlcflcd when the
bullets were singing iu her ears. They
were subject to the greatest hardships
and fed on water and hardtack, with
barely enough of that to keep 1 hem
from starvation. After being a prisoner
for six weeks Miss llasser escaped.
She cunningly eluded the guards and
when the prb oners wore next counted
one was missing. She was recaptured
iu a week or two and her second period
of imprisonment was three months
long. All the suffering that could go
with being huddled with a host of other
prisoners in a place tlia' was not a
decent abode for rats, and never once
getting enough of the roughest fare
to satisfy hunger, she endured and no
one ever suspected her secret.
It was just after her third liattle
that trouble came in the shape of discovery.
There had been great slaughter
among the forces. It seemed as if
most of the men in her company had
been killed. She expected to lie killed
herself, hut a special providence
seemed to protect her. for she was not
even wounded. The remnant of the
company gathered about a eamptire.

few moments ami then went up to
where she stood and asked her name.
She gave t lie name of her brother.

the comrade, doubtfully.
"Quite sure," she responded coolly,
but with trembling knees.

and told his suspicions. lie
called the surgeon and then the woman
knew the last hope of rcuminiug
undiscovered was pone and she confessed
that she had come in her brother's
place and told the story of the
substitution. She expected to be shot,
although ihe officers assured her that
no harm should coific to her. On her
knees and in tears she la gged them to
allow her to say a prayer ami write a
farewell to her mother before they
condemned her to death. For some
time she could not be made to understand
that she was to receive no punishment.
other than an honorable dis
charge for the noble part she had
played.
The scene around the camp lire was
one that will never be forgotten bv
those who snw It. The heroic nud
patriotic part she had played touched
the hearts of the roughest of the men.
nml many a soldier who would not'
have uttered a groan beneath the surgeon's
knife, brushed away a tear with
the soiled, blood-stained sleeve of his
uniform.

company, to fall In love with her. She
was sent home at once, and for a long
time he lost track of her. hut when
bis term in the army expired he sought
for her until he found her, hut she
eoujd not be persuaded to become his
i wife.
Miss Ilasser's fear that when the
cpmpany discovered her deception her
brother would be obliged to go and finish
out the term of service, of which
several months yet remaincu, was never
realized, and lie was not only left
?t home to take enro of his parents
and sisters, but the family was placed
in a position from which not even a
far-off gliftipsc of poveriy could be

Government for the Whole of Our
Country.
The family is the most important institutions
upon the earth, lc is tlio
hope of the world. Its influence Is
greater than that, of kings. empcroi or
cabinets. Parents and children
gathered around the hearthstones in
separate families make up communities,
and they make states and nations
and choose their rulers. As the frillies
are, so is the government -good

merely individuals and tool no great
responsibility outside ot their individual
comfort and welfare. But parents
ar? concerned for their children.
\\*e live for .them and would die for
them, consequently we want good government
that will protect them. But
it is not every family who feels this
deep concern. From my window 1
see the homes of many neighbors and
can count on my lingers those whose
i?rtciia: is 01 sareguaru to the community.
and the rest are of hut HbtJe
con^aoqoence. If they wore lo move
away it would add to our peril, t-'c
if. is in all communities. The few
protect the many. So it is in church
and state. Twenty niembors of our
legislate, r? control its legislation. Ten
members of an average church membership
give the church its character.
Sodom wae destroyed because 'en good
inen could not ho found. If all men
were good we would have no need of
courts or prisons. Hut for every
church that is set on a hill there is a
jail in the valley. I hear the preacher
calling and the bell tolling from the
one. and Imagine i hear the devil calling
from the other, and he cries out
as the sergeants did in the old muster
language, "Oh. yesi Oh. yes! All who
belong to Captain Satan's company
phnde here." And the people are g'oing
and coming all the time some to
one call and more to tlm other. Hut as
the devil can't he heard afar oft', he
goes about calling, and oven invades
tho sanctuary and calls aloud while
the preacher is preaching.
"Man never erects a house of pra> er

institution and its great importance
in tlie world beoauee I have been rnidtrg
about it in the Apocrypha, which
is one of our family Bibles. 1 heard
a preacher say once that a Bible with
the Apocrypha in it should not stay
in his houso. Well, it took 1.83d years
to exclude it from >the l*rotestaiit
Bible, and most of it is In the Romotn
Catli'dic Bible yet. What Is called a
sacred canon was not established until
the sixteenth century, and for centuries
before that almost every great
theologian had his own catalogue of
inspired books as lie believed tliem.
For 300 years only :nn of Paul's epistles
were admitted. The Book of St.
James and the R. relation of St. John
were excluded. So were listher and
Daniel and Jonah in the Old Testament.
I.uv.her tried to have Hebrews,
and J'iitnes. and Judo, and the Revelations
of St. John excluded, but failed.

"The Wisdom of Jesus tho Son of
SJrach," which is called Ecclesiasticus,
which has fifty chapters and is as full
of maxims and morals and instruction
for the famliy as are the proverbs of
Solomon. Addison says that if this
hook had been left in tho canon or if
it bad the name of some great Greek
philosopher, it would have commanded
tho admiration of mankind. To my
mind it Is the condensation of wisdom
for family government. It is as
pointed and pungent .'us anything that
Solomon ever wro'e. This Jesus was
n boyter man than Solomon, lie livou
and -wrote .100 years after Malochi, thtlaM
of the prophets. In the close of
his narrative concerning Moses and
the prophets, he says of Solomon:
"By his body he was brought, into sub
jectlon and didst stain his honor ami
pollute his seed a~nd brought wrath
upon his children, and his kingdom
was divided." I never did have a profound
admiration for a man who said.
"ReJJjoire, Oh. yours* man. in the
wife of thy youth, and bo flvcm always
ravisired with her love." and then
goer; off and marries 300 wives and
takes 700 concubines. His precepts
wore pood, but his example was bad,
very bad. My doetrine has alwyas
boon that a man has no more right to
fwo wives than a woman has to two
husbands. Let him stand by his marriage
vows. This is the ir.jjjjunc tion
of Jesus, the ev>n of Sineh. As a sample
of his wisdom let me quote:
