VOL. XXIII. GOVERNS BY EXECUTION Count Tolstoi Declares this the Policy of Czar's Government. INHUMAN DEEDS ARE COMMON Russian Author Declaras That He Can No Longer Endure the Crimes Committed in Russia. London, England.—The Daily Chronicle prints three close columns of the most passionate and severe indictment ever penned by Count Leo Tolstol, the Russian author, in which he shows all his old vivid skill, of the present system of "government by execution" in Russia, the article concluding with a noble appeal to the better nature of his countrymen. During the course of the article, the count writes: "I can no longer endure it. I write this *or* either that these inhuman deeds may be stopped or that my connection with them may be snapped and I be put in prison, where I may be nearly conscious that these horrors are not committed on my behalf, or still better (so good that I dare not even dream of such happiness), that they may put on me as on those twenty or twelve peasants, a shroud and a cap and may push me also off a bench so that my own weight may tighten the well-scaped noose around my old throat." After describing wholesale executions in gruesome detail, Count Tolstoi says: "All this is carefully arranged and planned by the learned and enlightened people of the upper class. They arrange to do these things secretly at daybreak and they so subdivide the responsibility of these inquiries among those who commit them that each may disclaim responsibility, and not these dreadful things alone, but all sorts of other tortures and violence are perpetrated in the prisons, fortresses and convict establishments," with regard to the government's contempt that there is no way to suppress the revolutionists. Count Tolstol, when admitting that the revolutionists' crimes are stupid and reprehensible in the highest degree, accuses the government of doing the same thing for the same motive and adds: RHYME FOR ROCKEFELLER Presacher Sends Metrical Congratula- tions to the Oil Magnate. New York City—John D. Rochefeller was the recipient of many congratulatory messages on the occasion of his recent sixty-ninth birthday anniversary. Among them were some lines from the poet of Rex George Thomas Dowling who was for twelve years pastor of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, in Cleveland, which Mr. Rockefeller attends. Mr. Dowling's message was as follows: "Clay to the habit of still being *Cling to the habit of still being* *young;* *Gulliver's fable, without halge* Cultivate leisure without being lazy Garner all joys that the poets have sung. sung. And we have every year Dr. Ouelt 'is crimey." NEW COLLISGE-AT MILLEDGEVILLE, GA. One of the First of its Kind in the County Open's September 1st.

Atlanta, Ga.-Both houses of the Georgia Legislature passed resolutions providing for "an examination and investigation into the conduct and management of the prison commission, its officers and employees, and all convict leases."

CHINESE IN BOX CAR. Nine Men Had Been in Closed Car From San Francisco to Baird, Texas. Abilene, Texas.—A deputy sheriff broke the 'seals off a box car at Baird, Texas, and arrested nine Chinese, concealed there, who, it is alleged, were being smuggled into this country.

C.-Interesting work is being done by Secretary Straus, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, for the immigrants coming to this country by the formation of a gigantic free employment bureau. Nine hundred thousand postal cards have been sent to all employers on rural free-delivery routes, whether they be farmers or artisans, asking if help is needed in their communities. Already more than 1,400 replies have been received, although the cards were sent out only a short time ago. The immigrants after going through the channel of immigration reach a stage where they are suspicious of every person. It is expected that it will restore their confidence and materially aid them, when they can be made to see that the employment bureau is under the control of the Government and is designed for their especial benefit. That the foreigners are beginning to appreciate the work, which in reality is in its infancy, is shown by the success in New York city. 'The office in New York was opened about February 1. So great was the rush of applications one day last week that the presence of the police was necessary to restore oider. There were 551 new applications for work during the week. Of this number 97 immigrants were sent to farmers in various States and secured remunerative employment MEN LET WOMEN DROWN. Two Hundred Stand by and Offer No Assistance—One Steals Purse. Chicago, Ill.—While two hundred men and boys sat or stood within a comparatively few feet of her and in sight of nearly 1,000 others, an unidentified woman fell, or rolled purposefully from the north pier at the mouth of the Chicago river and drowned. Although she screamed repeatedly for assistance, not a hand in the crowd that watched her struggles in the water was lifted, to save her. Instead one of the gazers stole the woman's purse and hat, which she had placed on the pier beside her, and fled. A half hour later the body was taken from the water by Captain Carland and his men from the life saving station. The body was neatly dressed. The woman, apparently, was 35 years old, five feet four inches tall, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes, and weighed 105 pounds. OBALDIA ELECTED PRESIDENT. Panama Election Passed Off Almost Without Disturbance. Panama.—The presidential elections throughout the Isthmus of Panama passed off without disturbance. Senator Don Jose Domingo de Obladia, formerly minisister to the Old States, and acting president during the absence of Dr. Amador, was elected president. At the conclusion of the balloting enthusiastic crowds, headed by a band of music, paraded the streets of Panama, cheering continuously for the newly elected president. There appeared to be an absolute absence of ill-feeling between the former supporters of Senator Arias and the adherents of Senor Obladia. Never before has such a friendly spirit been seen so quickly after an election. BELLS IN 46TH STORY. Metropolitan Building to Have Four of Largest in the World, New York City—Four of the largest and costliest bells in the world are to be placed in the forty-sixth story of the new tower of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company's building, Madison Square, and from a position about 650 feet above the pavement, nearly twice as high as any in the world, their deep tones will announce each quarter of an hour.

THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 18, 1908. NOMINATION ACCEPTED Thos. Watson Formerly Notified by Populist Party. MADE ELOQUENT ADDRESS In Atlanta Defending Policies of His Party--Six Thousand People Attend the Meeting. Atlanta, Ga.—Honorable Thomas E Watson of Georgia was notified Thursday of his nomination for the presidency by the populist party, the notification speech lying made by Judge Jay W. Forrest of Albany, N. Y., and in an address which covered national issues in a vigorous and comprehensive fashion accepted the nomination. Previous to his being notified of his nomination Mr. Watson addressed the Georgia state convention of the populist party. The notification meeting was held at Ponce de Leon Park at Atlanta, and the hall was crowded. About six thousand people being in attendance. After Mr. Watson ascended the platform, Dr. W. W. Landrum, pastor of the First Baptist church, Atlanta, offered a fervent prayer, and when Mr. Watson was presented to the "audience, the band played "Dixle," and because of the continued applause it JOHN H. HON. THOS. E. WATSON. was several minutes before the speaker was able to begin his eloquent address, in the midst of which he received frequent applause, holding the close attention of the entire audience. In his speech of acceptance Mr. Watson referred repeatedly to himself and his political comrades as "we Jeffersonians," indicating faintly the change in title which it is predicted will ultimately be made in the people's or populist party. The change, it is said, will not be made by any antidote or resolution. The name Jeffersonian, say the authorities, will gradually come into general acceptance and will eventually supersede the present name which the party headed by Mr. Watson bears. Mr. Watson's speech was a clear exposition of the principles of the populist or Jeffersonian aarty. With forcible diction, Mr. Watson advocated and condemned, upheld and criticised. He declared himself in favor of municipal ownership, in direct reference; though municipal ownership (with its corallary, government ownership) is condemned by many populists, as creating a government political machine, a gigantic oligarchy, which it would be impossible to overthrow. He condemned corporations and capitalism in specific terms, exorcising them for their greed and for the insatiable maw which they feed with human life annually greater than the losses of the civil war. He attacked President Roosevelt as an alleged big stick president who stands pat with the stand-patters, and insists that government notes and breaking the money corner in Wall street that caused the panic last fall. He condemned projective tariff, believing that trusts are the offspring of monopolies and that trusts can never be stifled until monopolies are done away with. He denounced the new national currency law, the Aldrich-Vreeland bill, saying that the national government has surrendered its sovereign power to individual bankers when the constitution expressly forbids even to states the right to issue currency or to make other than gold and silver their legal tender. He attacked the interference in state government which federal judiciaries have been practicing of recent years, arrogating to themselves a right which does not exist. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Watson was given a great ovation. GOVERNOR GARD IS ALIVE. Arrives on Transport. Sheridan. Fearfully Wounded by Moro's. Pearson Volunteer by MORA San Francisco, Cal., A. L. Gard, district governor of Lanao, in the island of Mindanao, Philippine Islands, who was reported to have died as a result of wounds received in an engagement with Moros, arrived here on the transport Sheridan.

LATE NEWS NOTES. Jonas Rohr, blind man residing at Wilkesbarre, Pa., was arrested charged with shooting and severely wounding his wife. A panic followed the exploding of a bomb in a tenement house in New York City. No one was injured by the explosion but the house was nearly demolished. Six men were instantly killed and six other men are entombed in the shaft of the Williamson Coal company's mine at Pottsville, Pa. An explosion of gas followed by fire was the cause of the fatality. At the Elks convention held in Dallas, Texas, a barbecue was served to thirty-seven thousand persons. Ten tons of beef, two tons of mutton, thirty thousand loaves of bread, ten thousand pounds of beans, twelve barrels of pickles and fifteen thousand pounds of condensed Mexican chili were consumed. A Chicago firm of contractors is about to undertake what is said to be the greatest house-moving task on record. The operation is part of the cleaning up work on the site of the new $20,000,000 station of the Northwestern railroad. A five-story brick and steel building, one hundred feet wide, and one hundred and fifty feet long, weighing about six thousand tons, is to be moved a distance of about half a block. The job will cost $50,000 and will require three months. The house is to be rolled along on railroad iron by means of hand jackets. An ocean trip of over 2,000 miles in a shell constructed of newspapers from all parts of the United States was completed at New York when George W.

By holding a telegraph for two hours the telegraph company at Port au Prince, Haytif, saved the lives of Adolf Valboura and Dantes Theodula. The telegraph which had been sent by the president of Haytif read, "Take the men from their beds and shoot them at once." When it was received the telegraph company held it and notified the two men who immediately caught a boat to New York. When they were out of Haritan waters the telegraph was delivered. Hundreds of men are fighting a forest fire which is burning through the center of Long Island, near Eastport. There has been little rain in 40 days. A heavy rain is about the only hope of relief. The report that President Roosevelt would receive $10,000 for a series of articles, relating to his experiences while hunting in Africa has been verified by Charles Scribner in whose magazine the articles will appear. Mr. Scribner estimates the sale of President Roosevelt's books already published at 2,200,000 copies. The royalties on these sales were close to $250,000. John L.

Wagner of Reading, Pa. has been appointed confidential clerk to Secretary Wright. Reports received at Washington from army medical officers on duty in Cuba show a decided reduction in the 'typhoid fever rate' since 1906. In other respects, the statistics show that the general sick rate in Cuba during the past year is as favorable as that of this country, an improvement due to the health regulations enforced under American administration. James A. Fowled of Knoxville, Tenn., recently appointed assistant attorney-general, has entered upon the duties of his office. Secretary Garfield must give a personal bond for $28,000 with surety to be approved by the court if he desires to prosecute the appeal noted by him from the recent decision of Justice Wright, of the District Supreme Court directing write of mandamus to issue against him in the recent disbarment order by which certain attorneys were excluded from practice before the Department of the Interior.

ONEY is power and dominion. It is wine, woman and song. It is art and poetry and music. It is idleness or activity. It is warmth in winter and coolness in summer. It is clothing and food. It is travel and sport. It is horses and automobiles and silks and diamonds. It is books. It is education. It is self-respect and the respect of all others. No one possesses it, but it possesses everybody. M In life money means everything, and therefore anybody will do anything to get it. It enslaves those whom it pos- sesses and it likewise enslaves in a more sordid way those who have none of it. The man who has money masters the destinies of those who have it not. A man is expected to risk his life, but he is hardly expected to risk his fortune. He would give away money before he would give away life, because if he were dead he would have no money, anyway. But he would and he does seriously risk life for the sake of money. I cannot, therefore, see why money, which is the greatest thing in life, should not be more or less evenly distributed, just as the ballot is. The universal ballot gives every male citizen an equal political opportunity. The common ownership of all the means of production and distribution would give everybody an equal chance at music, art, power, sport, study, recreation, travel, self-respect and the respect of others. I for one cannot see why those things should be concentrated more and more in the hands of a few. Hope, Faith and Fear More Powerful Agencies Than Logic. By Dr. I. K. Funk. F unreasoning fear may be creative of a reasoning fear, why may not unreasoning courage, confidence, hope, at times be creative of ground "based on reason" for all of these elements? Like tends to produce like; courage, courage; hope, hope. In battle, as elsewhere, one of the chiefest things to fear is fear; many a battle has been lost, and many a time the map of a continent has been changed because of wild panic. Fear is contagious, and so is courage, and both are inspired far more easily by example and by appeals to sympathy and to the was to faith rather than to reason. When Bismarck, in the times of the Franco-Prussian war, thundered out, "Germany fears nothing but God," his appeal was to faith rather than to reason. Hours of argument would not have so fired the German heart. And when Garibaldi addressed his soldiers, "Follow me and you shall have hunger, and sickness, and rags, and death," their enthusiasm knew no bounds. The appeal was to the unseen—to what is beyond reason. And so Christ's appeal when He said, "You shall be hated, and hunted, and killed, but not a hair of your-head shall perish; in your hearts possess ye your patience," and tens of thousands went down gladly to death. The mightiest of all human impulses lie far beyond the plane of the syllogism. If we would lead men upward it is surely well for us to know that reason is not the most potent faculty, nor has it the cleares eye. Marvelous as is logic, should we succeed in reducing the whole of man to that level it is quite likely that we shall find that we have gone far toward unchaining the tiger. This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict Insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members.

The Savannah Tribune PUBLISHED BY EVERY SATURDAY THE TRIBUNE PUBLISHING CO. 462 West Broad Street, Entered at the Post Office at Savannah, Ga., as Second Class mail matter. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT: JAMES S. SHERMAN, OF NEW YORK. Our white friends it is. announced, will organize a Taft Club. Not a Republican club, but just a Taft club. We Republicans would welcome any kind of voters who will swell the vote for the party's nominee next November. THE press dispatch from Americus states that, two thousand people were in Americus attending the Knights of Pythias Grand Lodge, and not the least disorder was had. This fact was favorably commented upon by everybody. And yet this is a class of the people of Georgia, that our white citizens are trying to discourage by holding that their organization is illegal. THERE are thousands more colored than white children in the city. All of the white children are accommodated in modern buildings while thousands of colored children are without any kind of accommodation, and the three schools they now have are unfitted for that purpose. We are anxious to touch the conscience of our white friends in order that they may see the need of the colored children, and at least give them one modern school building. For years THE TRIBUNE has been telling about the blot of Georgian's penitentiary system, and the inhuman treatment of convicts at certain camps of lessees. But slight attention was paid to what we said. It is noted though, that the effects of it are being felt and a mightier power is working in behalf of the poor convicts, and too some who have been responsible for such ill treatment are liable to be brought into question. All good citizens commend the Atlanta Georgian for the work for prison reform in Georgia. LAST month: an examination was held for teachers in the public schools of the county. A number of colored applicants took the examination. Supt. Ashmore the next day spoke very uncomplimentary of them, in fact said that they were poorest set that ever took the examination. In the report of the committee on examination to the Board of Education on Monday night it is noted that eleven of the applicants passed. This is not a bad showing, when it is noted that twelve whites passed also. Joshua Company Won The members of Joshua Company, their friends, especially the friends of Capt. Mack Cummings, felt elated over the success of company in the drill at Americus. The company won first prize, in fact the boys made a clean sweep. The drill was perfect and the boys did themselves proud. The Sir Knights of Savannah should get together and give the victorious boys a banquet. THE TRIBUNE will subscribe to the fund. Bluffton Dots.

St. James Church Dear Editor, You will allow me space in the columns of your widely read race journal to report the doings of St. James A. M. E. Church, this city. The third Quarterly Conference of St. James was called to order in the main auditorium of the church on July, roth with Rev. J. T. Thomas, B. I. P. R. E. in the chair, Rev. P. W. Greatheart, D. D., the new pastor, had all reports ready and with the usual rapidity the business of the quarter was gone through. The Conference organized with the following: S. W. Carter, Secretary in Chief; Mrs. Jennie Rice, Assistant. Bros. S. S J. Jones and J. S. Shaw were elected marshal and usher. Bro. A. W. Alexander was elected reporter to all the church papers. The discipline questions were asked by the P. E. and responded to by the Secretary and showed great improvement. The Stewards, Trystees, Stewardesses, Willing Workers, Auxiliary, Allen League, Jackson Memorial, P. E. Boards, all rendered excellent reports, and unless the signs fail, St. James will hold her own in the annual conference next October, Dr. Thomas collected dollar money of eleven, thus showing his interest in the financial well being of the church. The following paid their dollar. J. W. Millen, A. W. Alexander, I. S. Elmore, Dr. J. T. Thomas, P. E. Dr. P. W. Greatheart, Pastor, Mrs. Jennie Rice, Mrs. A M. Godfrey, Mrs. Annie Cole, Mrs. Minnie Williams, Mrs. Louisa Alexander. Thus Dr. Greatheart was helped by the P. E. in collecting the dollar money. Sunday was high day in St. James and Dr. Thomas was at his best and preached from St. Matthews 8:25. His theme was Faith in God. At the Conclusion of the sermon many came for prayer. Two members were restored and came professing Christianity and were received into full membership. At night the doctor preached to a full house of members and admirers from Joshua 24th and 25th. Another great and good service was had. This is Dr. Thomas's fourth year on the Savannah district and he is honored and respected by all who know him. He is regarded as the sweet songster of the old Georgia Conference and an orator of no mean ability. He is a man of some means. He is friendly, jovial and manly. Rev P. WGreatheart, D D, the new pastor of St. James, seems already to have gotten the confidence of the officials. Dr. Greatheart is a plumed Knight and has gone to Americor to attend its Grand Lodge. When he returns he will bring Mrs. Greatheart with him. The ladies of St James will do her great honor when she arrives home, and now thank you in advance for the space given, I am your most respectfully, AM Godry. St. John's Anniversary.

In Memory of my husband ZACK CADE Who departed this life June 28, 1907: O Remembrance! Why dost thou open all my wounds again? Thinking will make make me sad; why must I think? When no thought bring you back. Still over the scenes my memory wakes. And fondly broods my misses care, Time but the impression deeper makes, As streams their channel deeper wear, Through the shadowy past, Like a tomb searcher memory ran, Lifting each shred that time had cast O'er buried hope, It haunts me [still tho one year has fled, But God who oft'n descend to visit men, Lays him in dust and calls him to the skiles.

The talk in social circles during the week has been about the outing of the Mutual Benevolent Society at Daufuskie on Thursday next. The outings of, this institution are unique and very enjoyable. The memory of last year is still clinging pleasantly to those who were fortunate to have been present. On this account they and others are anxious to be among the lucky guests next week. No doubt there will be many disappointed persons. The committee having in charge the outing has completed arrangements for the spending of a pleasant day. The steamer Pilot Boy will leave foot of Abercorn street at 8:30 o'clock a. m. promptly. The committee desires to impress the time of leaving as there will positively be no waiting for any one.

You don't mean to say that such a dear, sweet, tiny little hand could hide such aer—such a great—that is, of course—lovely weather, isn't it?"—Sketch. One of the principal causes of great loss of life in accidents is disasters occurring on the water by reason of the collisions of vessels or from similar circumstances results from the 20 fact that the life-preservers provided for the use of the passengers are usually placed in some inaccessible station where they cannot be reached quickly by the excited preserver. It is especially true on the usually crowded excursion steamers that ply between coast resorts. Instances are known where many lives would have undoubtedly been saved if each passenger had had at hand a life-preserver at the time of the accident. It is manifestly inconvenient for each passenger to carry a life-preserver. Realizing the above conditions, a New York man has designed and patented a commuter steamer child and life-preserver, shown here. The steamer chair is in all practical respects similar to the ordinary camp stool, but it is constructed to serve as a life-preserver as well. The party using the chair will have always at hand a buddy's support, in the event that it is necessary to thrust himself in the water. The chair is light and can be folded and readily carried from place to place, while as a life-preserver it is always at hand for use whenever the emergency requires.—Washington Star. : Doiling It Down. The atheeneum says of the following Howells paragraph that it is the best English sentence, perhaps, in any recent English book. Describing a certain anecdise ofrice Howells writes and the Atheeneum quotes: "What, in the heart of all this blossoming, was the great Cathedral itself, when we came in sight, of it, but a vast enherence of the age o faith, mystically beautifully in form, and gray as some pale exhalation from the mould of the ever-cloistered, the deeply re-forceful pass "Very fine, all must admit. But wouldn't that paragraph "have been meat and drink to the man who used to mark up Mr. Howells' newspaper copy, hack in Bucyrus, Qhlo! If Howells the reporter had written that for the Bucyrus Blade he would have found it in the paper the next day about like this: "The cathedral, with flowers all around it, looks fine. It is four hundred years old and needs paint."— Galyeston News.

When emergency demands it can be as readily brought into commission and attached to the molding or wall or any other ```markdown ``` convenient object close to the owner.

Powerful Machine in Operation on Lake Michigan. In the excavation of harbor channels and the removal of sand bars in rivers wonderful work has been done in the last few years with the suction dredge. This device consists of a pump, capable of drawing in through a huge pipe sand, small stones and water, and forcing a stream of the compound to a considerable distance. Sometimes it is discharged into a hopper on the barge which carries the pump, but usually the mixture is deposited at a convenient point on the adjacent shore. Thus the building up of a bank, where such an operation is desirable, can be carried on simultaneously with that of digging. When the material is delivered at a distance, it is forced through a second pipe that floats on scows or pontoons. One of the most recent undertakings with such methods is the filling in of a wide, area on the water, front of Chicago. This measured a mile in length by nearly a third of a mile (1500 feet) in width. It was bounded by a stone breakwater composed of rock removed along the route of the Chicago Drainage Canal. It was purposed to cover the region with clay dug from the lake bottom in the immediate vicinity. For the performance of the work a dredging boat 148 feet long, thirty-eight feet wide and ten and a half feet deep was designed. It was equipped with a pump have a thirty-inch suction pipe and discharge pipe, and an engine of 1206 horse power. A rotary cutter, nine feet in diameter, and provided with eight blades, served to loosen the material on the bottom. So successful was its action that many pieces four or five feet long were found in the discharge. The dredge could be used only in favorable weather. When the lake was likely to be rough the floating pipe line was disconnected and towed to a safe place near shore by steam tugs. The exact length of the discharge pipe is not indicated in the reports now at hand, but it was composed of sections 100 feet long, each being secured to its neighbor by a ball and socket joint. Rubber sleeves, which have been serviceable in many other cases, were too tender for use in this instance. The space to be filled was 4,000,000 cubic yards, and if the clay which went into it were spread out in a layer of even depth, a thickness of nearly fifteen feet of it would have been needed. It was all under water, and in some places the depth was as great as eighteen feet. The work was still in progress at last accounts, but going on successfully. The designer of the Chicago dredge, A. W. Robinson, of Montreal, had had much experience in planning similar machinery. One of his dredges, employed on Lake St. Peter (In the St. Lawrence River) is said to have excavated 750,000 cubic yards of clay in a single month, and to have delivered 2,000 feet away—nearly half a mile. The volume of material there measured would make a layer measuring seven-eighths of a square mile and a foot thick. New York's First Chinaman. Apropds of the approaching demolition of New York's Chinatown, it is interesting to know that the first Chinaman to take up his abode in New York, whose name is writ at all large local annals, had arrived in a sailing-ship from around the Horn about fifteen years previous to the advent of the tea-store in Mott street, and his career had not been one to prepossess the citizens or the police in favor of his fellow-countrymen. "He was Quimbo Appo," says Frank Marshall White, in Harper's Weekly, "a man of exceptiona' intelligence, but a flend when drunk—which was most of the time that he was out of prison. He married a white wife and killed her, saving his neck by a plea of self-defense, but being sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. Being, as has been said, an intelligent man, Appo-became a convert to Christianity in the Tombs, and his converters secured his pardon after he had served only a year or two of his sentence. He married again, another white woman; attempted to kill her, and served a sentence of one year. On his release he murdered a Pole, and was sent to Prison for five years; and, completing his sentence, was convicted of manslaughter for killing another white woman and given a seven years' term, but died insane before it was completed. Appo bequeathed to the State one son, a congenital criminal, who spent most of his life in prison, and finally died in an insane asylum, like his father." Planted on Shares. A captious traveler in Northern Arkansas stopped by a fence to criticise a sear cornfield which met hisdis approval. "Mighty small corn you have there!" he shouted to the man who was "superintending the growth" from a shady corner. "Yep," said the Arkansan. "Planted the small kind." "Looks mighty yellow to me, for this time of year." "Yep." Planted the yellow kind. "Well," said the traveler, severely. "I can't understand your method of farming. You won't get over half a crop there." "Nope," said the Arkansan, cheerfully. "You are shore a good guesser, stranger. Half a crop exactly, that's mine. I planted this on shares."—Youth's Companion. An average of 800 persons are killed in the United States each year by lightning. This means one in every 100,000. FOR THE FARMER AND STOCKMAN A Home-Made Potato Planter. hoped that they may not prevail bu About six years ago A. H. Sheesley, of Jersey Shore, made himself a home-made potato panier. He has used it eyer sneeze and his neighbors occasionally bored. It is built on two runners upon which is a platform on which the dropper stands. A hopper that holds a couple of bushels is in front of shint and while a driver looks after the horses, he drops the pieces of potatoes into the end of a tin pipe that extends down to the rear of a shovel bloomshare, set vertically. Just back of the pipe are two cultivator teeth set so as to throw the soil over the potatoes after they are dropped.—Philadelphia Record. Kill the Weeds Early. Weeds never die so easily as when they are "just-a-borin," and for this reason there is no method that is more effective in destroying them than the judicious use of a harrow in the cornfield or potato-patch the week following the time of planting. Often good results are secured. If a cultivation is given just as the young plants are, coming through the ground, but before there is a spread of leaf. As soon as another lot of weed seed has started to germinate these ridges may be harrowed lightly to advantage and in the case of potatoes harrowing may be given as late as two weeks after the plants have come through the ground.—Weekly Witness. Your Horse's Feet. A horse should never be compelled to stand uphill. The anatomy of the horse's foot, and, indeed, the shape of the horse himself, makes this an uncomfortable and unrestful position. Whatever the arrangement for drainage is, the horse must stand, as nearly level as possible. Moreover, he must stand upon a dry surface unless it is found that his feet need moisture in such cases a wet clay floor is excellent, temporarily. When you come in from driving, and after your horse has properly cooled off, see that the mud is removed, not only from his legs and the outer portions of his hoofs, but from the sole as well. An occasional stuffing with flaxseed is not only beneficial but necessary - Indianapolis News. As I see so much good advice in the Farmer I will ask for a little information. I have some rough, hilly and rocky land, too rough to cultivate even with a one-horse plow. I have cut most all the timber and all the undergrowth off, and burned it on all the ground that I could, and sowed it to timothy and blue grass. It will thrive very well for a year or two, then a moss will form on the ground that checks the growth of the grass. What treatment could be given to prevent this?—G. W. We do not believe you can succeed with timothy on such land. It would not pay to fertilize it; the pastures or manure would all wash away. It is better suited to pasturing sheep or goats, or growing fruit. It evidently will not support good grass, and when that dies down the moss you speak of takes its place. Try an orchard.—Indiana Farmer. Killing, Poultry. The first essential is that the fowl shall have absolutely no food for thirty-six hours so that its crop, gizzard and intestines shall be empty. First-class dressing demands that the fowl be dry picked—not scalded. This makes the French method of killing very essential. By this method the fowl is suspended by a loop around its legs to a hook on the wall. With a quick thrust through the brain the operator kills the bird and severs the main arteries. At that instant he begins plucking the feathers. They pull easily then—a minute later they come hard, but in that one minute the worst of his task is done. The carcass is then cooled, formed in the forming troughs, so as to pack nicely and is then ready for shipment. No incision is made, in the skin of the fowl. None of the interior organs were removed. The moment the interior of a fowl is exposed to the air, decomposition sets in. Packed or handled as described the fowl will keep perfectly for days, or if in cold storage for weeks or months. Cooks and some housekeepers object to this method of dressing fowls; but the more intelligent know that it is the only safe and sanitary way of doing the work. The English method differs only in the killing. No knife is used, no bleeding is done. The vertebra next to the skull is severed from the head by a strong quick jerk of the operator; this causes instant death and a loosening of the feathers as in the French method. The head is drawn out from the neck an inch or two, and into this space the blood drains and forms a clot as the bird hangs by its feet. This method shuts out the air from the interior of the carcass even more effectually than does the French method. A serious onslaught has been made on these methods of dressing poultry in several States recently, but it is hoped that they may not prevail but rather that these methods may grow in favor. They are safer for the consumer; they are simpler and better for the producer—T. E. Orr, in bulletin Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. Poultry Notes One of the main essentials of every poultry house is that it must be kept dry. Damp houses cause diarrhoea, canker, sore eyes, rheumatism and other troubles that all animals as well as poultry are heir to. The best way to keep the house dry is to give it plenty of fresh air by opening the doors and windows during the day. Supply fresh litter often. Build the house on a high, dry spot. Not more than forty hens should be kept in one run—thirty would do much better. The larger the flock the sooner they clear off the surface food. During the spring and summer where fowls have the free range of the farm there is plenty of room for a large flock, but when fowls are limited in their runs the flock must be smaller. Unless other conditions are supplied a large flock will eat, up the profits. If your hens have been subjected to a sudden draft and have contracted a slight cold in the head, the following is a good remedy: Glauber salts, two ounces; chlorate of potash, one ounce; perchloride of iron, one-half ounce, and one teaspoonful of tincture of aconite to about three plums of water, allowing-them no other water to drink for a day or two. A cold is easily detected. The fowls will have a,slight watery discharge at the eyes and nostrils and will winceze more or less. Watch them while they are on the perch at night. Mix some "brains" with the feed and you will get better results than if you mix your feed carelessly. Carefulness in feeding is essential in any kind of stock. The amount of food given the laying hens, or the hens that should lay, is an important matter. No fixed amount can be given, but it must be governed by the judgment of the operator. The laying hens of the breeding pen need vegetable food. Throw in a little clover or alfalfa, and let them pick off the leaves as they desire. Roup is a contagious disease and may be inherited. If you wish hens of strong and vigorous constitutions, never breed from fowls that have had the roup. Corn in small quantity as the last food for the hens before they go to roost, at night, will help to furnish heat for the body on these cold spring nights.—Indianapolis News. Incubator Don'ts. Don't forget to study your incubator. Get the catalogue that describes your particular machine, and study every part and the construction in general. Don't try to run the incubator in a place where there is a draft, or near a stove, or in the sun. In such places it will be impossible to maintain a uniform temperature. Set it where the temperature is uniform, and you will have much better success. Don't forget to test-the eggs before setting the incubator and three times during the incubation. Do not use any doubtful ones. Take no chances with any eggs that you are not sure contain a fertile and vital germ. Don't allow the lamps to burn low. Keep them trimmed correctly and as nearly full of oil as possible. Do not let them smoke. It is a good plan to clean'the burners every day to insure a uniform flame and absence of smoke. Don't place any dirty eggs in the tray. Filth may cause the generation of deadly gases, which will work ruth to many of the fertile eggs. Don't try to place too many eggs in the trays. Eggs need room in the incubator as well as the chickens need room after they have been placed in the brooder. Don't forget to turn the egg every second day. The hen generally turns them every day, and the one who attempts artificial incubation should see to this important essential at least each alternate day. Don't neglect to cool the eggs every morning. The hen leaves her nest at that time for food and drink, and it is natural that the eggs should be exposed for a few minutes to the pure atmosphere. Don't handle the eggs with dirty hands. There may be enough germs upon the hands to destroy the vitality of the germs in the eggs you touch. Don't disturb the eggs after the hands. There may be enough germs upon the hands to destroy the vitality of the germs in the eggs you touch. Don't disturb the eggs after the eighteenth day. Better results are obtained by allowing them to remain quiet after that date. — Journal of Agriculture. Whist For High Stakes "Well, where's that cook?" demanded his wife.

With the best systems and most careful watching books go astray, but it is hard to write them off as entirely "lost," since they have a way of turning up that is only paralleled by the cat of lyric fame. The other day at the desk of one of the oldest city institutions the Philadelphia library, at Locust and Juniper streets, there was returned by a fair borrower a book that had been out a little over three years. Fortunately for the borrower no fines were exacted, and after she had gone the question as to whether the wom- an had not established a record was asked. "No, indeed," said the librarian. "We have in this library several volumes that were held ten, fifteen and twenty years, and one book that was returned to us after being gone for over a century! It is one of a valuable set of the classics, and after succeeding in hiding itself so long finally turned up in Holland, where its label declared its lawful place of abode and the honest finder lost no time in forwarding, it to Philadelphia. Yes, sir, we have books out still longer and I have not the least doubt that some of them will yet find their way back to our shelves."—Philadelphia Record. DIFFERENT NOW. It was formerly the belief that to become strong, athletes must eat plenty of meat. This is all out of date now, and many trainers feed athletes on the well-known food, Grape-Nuts, made of wheat and barley, and cut the meat down to a small portion, once a day. "Three years ago," writes a Mich. man, "having become interested, in athletics, I found I would have to stop eating-pastry and some other kinds of food. "I got some Grape-Nuts and was soon eating the food at every meal, for I found that when I went on the track, I felt more lively and active. "Later, I began also to drink Postum in place of coffee and the way I gained muscle and strength on this diet was certainly great. On the day of a field meet in June I weighed 124 pounds. On the opening of the football season in Sept., I weighed 140. I attributed my fine condition and good work to the discontinuation of improper food and coffee, and the using of Grape-Nuts and Postum, my principal 'diet during training season being Grape-Nuts. "Before I used Grape-Nuts I never felt right in the morning—always kind of 'out of sorts' with my stomach. But now when I rise I feel good, and after a breakfast largely of Grape-Nuts and cream, and a cup of Postum, I feel like a new man." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY DR. CURTIS LEE LAWS. Subject: Christianity and Business. Brooklyn, N. Y.—The Rev. Dr. Curtis Lee Laws, in the Greene Avenue Baptist Church, preached on "Christianity and Business." The text was from Deuteronomy 8:18: "Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth." Dr. Laws said: When a man becomes a Christian he does not sever his relations to the world in which he lives. He is given to Christ by the Father as a personal and perpetual possession, but instead of translating him, Christ sends him back into the very world from which he has been saved. Christ said to the Father: "As Thou hast sent Me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world." But when Christ sends the saved man back into the world, He sends him back as a new man. "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." The Christian is in the world, but in the world with a new motive, a new purpose, and a new power. Our Master well knew that it would be difficult for His disciples to be in the world without being of the world, and so He prayed: "I pray not that He shouldst take them out of the world, that Thou shouldst keep them from evil." From the beginning, therefore, the relation of the Christian to the affairs of life has been a problem worthy of the most serious study. In the early times there were fanatics who felt that, it was below the dignity of a Christian to enter the secular results. In which they had been engaged. They gave up their business and brought discredit upon their profession by the vagaries of their other worldly The Apostle Paul tried to correct the abuse in his second letter to the Thessalonians. In his first epistle, in view of the second coming of Christ, he had urged the people to separate themselves from the world. Misinterpreting his purpose, they had given up their regular employments, and had gotten into mischief. In the second epistle the apostle says: "For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all but spending their time as busy-bodies. Now, them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work and earn their own bread." The greatest problem for the Christian man is to adjust himself to the callings and pursuits of this life, that he may best serve God, his fellow men and the highest interests of his own soul. Instead of translating us to glory at our conversion, God leaves us here that we may perfect personal holiness, working out our own salvation with fear and trembling, and that we may win the world to our new-found King. These are the two functions of the Christian. It is the will, of God for His people to engage in the ordinary vocations of this world, that they may earn an honest living and 'at the same time show forth to the world the saving and keeping power of Jesus Christ. Though it is the will of God for His people to engage in the business of this world, it can be readily seen that there are certain limitations which arise from our relations to God. But, again, the Christian man can engage in no business which will harm his fellow men, whom he has been sent to win to Christ. If you are in a business which is honest and legitimate, others will share with you the benefit of that business. If your gain means loss to others, then your business is not the business in which a Christian man can engage. If you cannot conduct this business yourself, you cannot own stock in it and share in the profits of it without bartering your soul for gold. If you can't conduct the business yourself, you cannot rent your property for the business, you cannot adding hypocrisy to your other sins. May God have mercy on the hypocrites who will not goil their hands by engaging in a wicked business, but who will stuff their pockets full of the dirty money received as dividends or rent from the conduct of this same wicked business. Note now some of the incentives to business activity. "Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for He has given the tree power to get wealth." The money-making gift is from God. The apostle urges us to be diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. God has no patience with indulence and sloth. All through the Bible the stamp of God's approval is put upon industry, while His curse ever rests upon idleness. It is God-like to work. Our Lord said, "The Father worketh hitherto and I work." There is no place in God's economy for the idler. He cumbers the ground. Business activity brings wealth, and this is an incentive which ought to appeal to the generation in which we are living. Wealth ought to be desired by every man, because wealth is a mighty factor in the world in which we live. Think of what wealth can do for the individual. It can give opportunity to acquire high and noble tastes. It can give leisure for study and research. These in turn will cause the mind to grow stronger and the character to grow nobler. Wealth can purehase length of days, and it can secure to us the atmosphere in which human love can blossom and bear fruit to perfection. Think of what wealth can do for the family. -It can surround our loved ones with books and paintings. It can provide the highest culture for our children. It can enable us to dispense a generous hospitality and to make our homes the centre of a delightful and ennobling religious, social and intellectual circle. Think of what wealth can do for society. It can lift up those shattered and maimed victims of vice and poverty. It can cleanse the augean stables. It can send the brightness of day into the loathsome, fetid haunts of darkness. It can lay out and beautify parks. It can establish and perpetuate universities and libraries. It can support artists and scientists that they may devote their time to creating the beautiful and the useful. It can set the spindles and wheels of manufacture in motion. It can give the poor the chance to earn an honest living, that self-respect may not be lost by receiving charity. Oh, the value of wealth to society! Think of what wealth can do for the church. The cause of Christ is languishing all over the world because there is not money sufficient to carry on Christ's work to the glory of God. Our local churches are suffering because of poor equipment and the lack of workers who can devote their whole time to the cause. Our Christian colleges, orphanages and hospitals could double their efficiency if they had more money. Our missionary societies are all povertyless from missionary force in the great cities, the colleges and in heathen lands could all be doubled in twelve months if we had sufficient means. This is true of all Christian denominations. May God prosper the people and then make them willing to lay their gold at His feet! Business even, I exhort you in the name of the King to be diligent and self-denying and frugal that, success may crown your efforts; for no one can estimate the good that your wealth can do to yourself, to your family, to society, and to the kingdom of God in the world. Let us now consider the perils of business success. I have exhorted you to fidelity, persistence, energy in your business life. I have told you of the glory which comes with wealth, but I would be false to your highest interests. If I did not hold up before you some of my perils which confront the man who makes a great success in business. "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" No man can gain the whole world, or a millionth part of the world, but if he gained the whole of it at the cost of his soul it would be a calamitous bargain. The text means simply that in the effort to gain wealth many forfeit their own souls. The temptation is to neglect the higher for the lower, to give up the spiritual for the temporal, to give up the unseen for the seen. How pitiful the thought that men spend a lifetime in the vain effort to corral the world and find themselves at last without a soul. What does it mean by losing one's soul? The expression is not equivalent to being condemned, though of course it leads to perdition. The soul here spoken of by Jesus means the faculty in man which apprehends God and goodness. Jesus says that the man who pays too much attention to money getting is apt to lose the faculty by which he apprehends God and spiritual things. He loses the faculty because he refuses to use it. His ear is dull to the voice of God. His eye is clouded so that he cannot see the beauty of God, and by and by through a process of deterioration death comes and the faculty is lost. Oh, men, do not lose your souls! Keep your ear open to the voice of God. Keep your heart attuned to the will of God; but alas, alas! some before me have almost lost their souls. In seeking a good thing they are giving up the best thing. Jesus said: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God," and, "How hardly shall a rich man enter the kingdom of heaven." There are many perils about the gaining of wealth and the using of it. We have all seen the influence of wealth upon character. Too often it makes the humble man proud, the generous man stingy, the charitable man suspicious, and the honest man dishonest. Sometimes the man who makes the money escapes the perils, but succeeding generations are almost inevitably cursed by the wealth which they inherited, The Master knew human nature perfectly, and so He said, "How hardly shall a rich man enter into the kingdom of heaven." There is one way to escape from these perils, and I command it to the rich, to those who would be rich, and to all Christian business men alike. Write the words of my text in the front of your ledgers and on the tablets of your hearts: "Thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth." Unanswered Prayer. An unanswered prayer is no proof of an unhearning God. There may be reasons in the great purposes of our heavenly Father why a petition may fail of a direct answer. The creature may err, not understanding the will of God; but the Creator cannot err. As many a child of God has looked back over his life he has seen where the goodness and benign wisdom of God has been manifested in withholding the things asked for. But if the direct answer to the petition has been withheld we believe that in some way there will come a blessing because of it, and that no earnest, faithful prayer is ever lost to the suppliant. "It may not be my way; it may not be thy way; but yet in His own way the answer will come. It may be years in coming; it may be in some wholly unexpected way, through some channel we never dreamed of, and which at the time of the prayer we knew nothing of; but it will come to us with blessing, Indeed, we in our obtuseness may be living in the very atmosphere of answered prayer and not be aware of it. If the answer does not come in the way we look for it, let us look we see, see the flowers we longed for is now blooming elsewhere, or if our life at some angle does not touch God more intimately than before. We may look for the answer in a tally-ho, but it may come in the form of some poor beggar on the street.—United Presbyterian. Profitable Things. The sooner we are impressed that this present life is uncertain and very short, and that the future life is sure and endless, the better it will be for us.

The first re-union of the Bynes family was observed on the 4th of July last after eating a most delicious dinner under the grape arbor which was tastefully prepared at the hands of the parents, the family, listened to speeches and toasts by the various members. In the regretted absence of the oldest brother, James M., merchant of Chattanooga, Penn., it was the unanimous consent that Simon F., superintendent of Albany District, of Pilgrim Life and Health Insurance Company, fill the position of toast master; The opening speech was delivered by H, Shelley, the wheelwright and Blacksmith, of Gibson. After speaking on the Declaration of Independence, he closed with a tribute of gratitude to the family for the honor of meeting on his birthday. Second speaker, Simon F., of Albany, rose amidst shouts of applause. In a humourist manner he thanked the family for the honor of being "toast master." He then made an able speech discussing minutely, the early days of the family when all were arbured "the fireside." Third speech was delivered by John Alexander, instructor of foundry division at Tuskegee Institute, Ala. As he rose to speak the applause was so great that he was compelled to wait till it had partially subsided, then waving his hand smilingly said: "I find myself in the position of the rich man who desired favor of Christ, when told 'One string, thou backest yet.' The occasion being one of speech-making, he looked his vital thing. Very much his healer were accented that he was equal to the occasion. His was the most heart-touching speech, discussing the family's past history, he painted a vivid picture and caused ail, to feel both sad and terror. Fourth speaker, Charles E. the efficient nurse of Milner, said: "During a recent political campaign one noted man said, that he hoped the supporters of the opposing side were not expecting great things for, in such they would not be disappointed." The same being applicable to him with reference to his speech in beginning he expressed his appreciation for the honor of being apologetic for the other brothers and sisters at Milner, yz; Christie Arthur, Mrs. Mary E. Bradley, Mrs. Grudtrude Murphy and Miss Bulah, After dishealing the Declaration of Independence, he closed with a strong吻 to the family to maintain it reinforced. At this point the sentiment reached a high pitch, and calls for "Sister Alice" were heard above all. Then Mrs. Alice Monroe of Brunswick, the oldest of the children came forward being compelled to wait a few more minutes till the applause had ceased. With a smile she said, "I had hoped that the family had employed a stenographer to catch the powerful speeches that were delivered by the preceding speakers, but now it is my turn to speak and I am equally as proud that we have learned." (Great laughen! She then expressed thanks to the family for the generous manner in which she was treated. She put additional emphasis on the family reunion. She closed with a thankful embrace to the parents. Last, Mr. not, least, mine. Mrs. Mlara Hui, Hhanyang, second eldest sister, of Savannah, in response to many others for sister. In a modest yet noble manner, said: "I cannot do justice to myself and the occasion without expressing the deep appreciation and high regard I have for this meeting." As a closing she said: "If we have not accomplished anything in the way of advancing the cause of humanity, it is due to the untiring efforts of our salient parents." A climax was reached when the fr The following resolutions were adopted.

When interviewed with reference to the speaking exercises of the fourth he said: "Originally it was not my intention to miss the exercises on yesterday, but the fact that I am not a speaker makes me believe that it was a Providential hinderance, which meant success to the exercises." Later in the day he played an able part in Sunday School at old Needful, the mother church of the community. His ability as Sunday School teacher is unquestioned. As a closing adieu the family listened to a recital by the youngest of the sisters, Bulah. Other noted members of the family present were: Mrs. Edna, T. Bynes and Mrs. Sarah, J. Bynes. It was the delight of the family to have the following persons line with them on Sunday evening, before the re-union was broken up: Rev. S. P. Campbell, of, Midville; Mrs. Pearlse Beasly and Mrs. Laura "Pimkins, of FROM A FRIEND. FOLKSTON DOTS. Folkston, Ga., July 11, 1908. Editor of Suvannah Tribune: Dear Sir; Please allow me space in your notable paper to say a few words about our picnic that was given here today. It was one long to be remembered. Friday evening's train brought quite a number of young people from Hilliard, Fla., who met at the Odd Fellows' hall where they enjoyed themselves until a late hour at night. Early Saturday morning people from all points gathered and the baseball game began at 9 o'clock. Quite a number of white people were present, among whom were W. M. Olliff, attorney-at-law, Dr. D. Williams, Dr. Dalis Williams was umpire for the game. The Hillard nine beat Folkston 3 to 1, after which the table was set. The blessing was asked by S. M. Council. The crowd was invited over to Masonic' hall, where Colonel E. W. Brinkins, attorney-at-law, of Tompkins-Ga. spoke, for the Republican party and to the young people in general. The hall was crowded. Colonel Brinkins was escorted to the 'stand by T. L. Jones and J. Mathis, and seated between Miss Ella Malone and Mrs. Jennie Balley. Mr. J. Mathis then introduced Colonel Brinkins to the audience. As soon as Colonel Brinkins arose cheers went up from more than one hundred people. Then the orator shegn speaking. Colonel Brinkins is the first Negro lawyer to speak in Folkston on any occasion. He made some very timely remarks to the young people as well as the defaulters and non-tax payers. It is supposed that new life will be kindled in the sloathful men of our race and that a number of defaulters will pay up their back taxes and get ready to vote down the disfranchisement bill next October. Colonel Brinkins leaves tonight for his home. The people are expecting to have him come again before the October election. I am yours respectfully. T. L.

JOHNSON, Royal Grand Patron. The man who has a kind word for everybody is generally suspected of fighting an ax to grind. PLAYING THE WINNING CARD. It has been aptly said by some dialectian that "Do black specs' 'pun de dice,' Wins fur ol' massa an' wins fur me." As crudue as this couplet may appear to the average mind, it is a fact that he who adopts it as a guide, mostly, if not always, plays the winning card in the game of life. To sit and complain of what is said to be adversity, is a poor remedy in the case, and he who is adicted to the baneful habit, as a player in the great world game, most naturally "craps out." The eminent and immortal Longfellow expresses the same idea in the following: "In the world's broad field, of battle, In the bivouac of life, Be not like' dumb, driven cattle, Be a hero in the strife." If the "black specs" " on the dice win for one man who strives, they will, of a truth, win for the next man if he puts the force and vim in his effort to bring the "winning." For reward is as surely the sequel of labor as rest is of righteousness, and we are taught by the "gentlemen of the cloth," that the latter is as certain as are "death and taxes." The playing of the winning card must be up to the man, without regard to race, color or creed. Sure it is that there are greater obstacles to surmount upon life's road by some men than by others. Inherent poverty, ignorance and superstitions all tend towards making the way to success seemingly impossible to some men and even races of men. But continual and persistent effort will, ultimately, remove all of these barriers, and rushing on ahead of you, the guardian of the gate of success, will fling wide its portals, that you may enter into the joy and bliss born of honest toll. Let not the mirage of failure shade to view the sunlight of success. Let not the difficulties that frighten the weak drive you from the plane of persistent effort. For the "wings and the waves are ever on the side of the boldest navigator." MORE EXPOSITION MONEY. Government Invests Without Hope of • Money Return. The government continues to enlist in the show business with a somewhat running engagement. It has accepted the invitation of Seattle to enter the Alaska-Yukon lists next year so far as $650,000 will carry it. But its attitude toward that enterprise is different from what it was in the Jamestown flasco. Then, it expected to get its money back. Now it is purely a patron and sponsor, to the extent of its investment, and will spend the money in advertising its wealth and power. This will at least provide against disappointments, and avoid pretences. It will also venture a million and a half in the Tokio Exposition three years later, which represents no more than a return of the courtesies that we have received from Japan at all our international events of this character. The participation will not be on the basis of economic values, but of diplomatic obligations, and as such it should and doubtless will receive the general approval, of the people of this country. There is said to be already developed a sharp rivalry for the positions of three commissioners-general, which the enabling act has authorized. One of them is to have a salary of $8,000, to begin at once, and the other two a salary of $2,000 each until the year of the exposition, when it will be raised to $5,000. The latter figure will be the secretary's salary from the start. Of some diplomatic training should be invested with these responsibilities.—Boston Transcript. Twice Dismembered. Some years ago, says Representative Champ Clark, he was chatting with a number of senators from the south in the senate cloak room, when Butler of South Carolina, whom Clark then saw for the first time, came in. After introduction to several new senators and representatives Senator Butler exchanged a few remarks with them and then left the room. One of the Mississippi senators turned to Clark, saying: "To look at Butler, you'd never suspect he wore a wooden leg, would you?" "No!" exclaimed Mr. Clark, surprised. "Fact!" continued the other. "Butler was an officer in the Confederate army, as you know. It was not long before he had a leg shot off. Before leaving hospital he was supplied with an artificial leg. Eventually he again went to the front, and this time a bit of shell blew his artificial member to pieces. Just think, Clark," reflectively added the senator. "If Butler had been a Union officer he would now be drawing a double pension from the government."—Philadelphia Ledger. Not an Old Hen. Queen, isn't it, how a hen knows her own chickens?

Obsidence to Parents One Cause, He Says. Hamilton Mable was the principal speaker at the luncheon of the Elmira College Club, which was held at the Hotel Majestic. His object was obviously to instruct and advise rather than to entertain the alumnae, who sat behind masses of daftodils, pansies and purple hyacinths, severently drinking in his every word. He smiled pleasantly at them, but he didn't mince his words. America, he told them, was the most lawless country in the world. "It has," he said, "fifty times as many slaughterers every year as has any other nation which pretends to be civilized, and the condition of things in Kentucky is absolutely primitive. There are, too, more railroad accidents in the United States than in any other country. Why, it is more 'dangerous to travel from New York to San Francisco than to be on the firing line in a battle. Statistics prove it." This unpleasant state of affairs is, he said, the result of the fact that as a nation we have no respect for law. The dlyorce court, he continued, was the worst form of lawlessness and had a most deleterious effect upon the training of children. The speaker made a few remarks about the spoiled American child, which caused the mothers present to sit up and take notice, but he admitted that he thought the German and English methods of training were a wee bit severe. "Children who have not learned obedience," he went on, "go out into the world crippled. The world belongs to the trained men, and the trained nation. Two nations have come strongly to the front in recent years—Germany, which subjects her sons to the severest possible discipline, and Japan, the country in which boys are brought up in the faith that they must think of their Emperor first, their duty to their ancestors second, and themselves last of all. A Japanese General in the late war with Russia said to a small group of men whom he was despatching upon a hopeless mission, 'Children, I congratulate you who are about to have the honor of giving up your lives for the Emperor.'" This lesson of obedience could, Mr. Mable sald, be taught in the colleges, although the home was the best place for its inculcation. The great mission of the colleges, however, especially the women's colleges, was to keep alive the amenities of life and to promote the study of manners. "The cultivation of manners is by no means an idleway of killing time," he added; "it is an acknowledgment that we are not mere machines, but immortal souls. "Nothing would, in my opinion, be more regrettable than for women's colleges to turn out merely skilled workers. I am glad since so many women are obliged to become wage earners that so many occupations are open to them, but I hope the day will never come when the majority of women will, like the majority of men, be obliged to spend eight hours of every day at the grindstone. Life is a bigger thing than work, and nothing is more pliful than to see a man who has acquired a large fortune and safely invested it utterly at a loss how to spend it." Apparently fearing that his words might be misunderstood he hastily explained that he wasn't knocking the, so-called American "commercialism." He asserted very emphatically that it was all right for a man to make all the money he could so long as he didn't allow the thought of it to possess his soul. "It is not," he concluded, "the handling of wheat or sugar that makes a man a materialist. It is the habit of his mind." —New York Sun Stolen Horse Returns. The strange recovery of a stolen horse by a livery company in Chicago is reported by a newspaper of that city. The horse, attached to a buggy, was hired out to a man who returned to the stable with the plea that while he was in a house, thieves had stolen the horse and buggy and had driven away. There was no clue to the thieves, and after a fruitless search the animal and vehicle were set down as lost. The night watchman was aroused some nights afterwards by a pawing at the stable door. On opening it to investigate he was nearly knocked down by the missig horse, who rushed in and up to his usual hay rack. He had no harness on and was covered with foam. It is conjectured that, being unharnessed to change the rig, he had escaped and had made his way to his owner's stable. His fidelity is a reproach to those who voluntarily wander from God's fold, or yield to the temptations of the enemy of souls.—Christian Herald. The Templars. The order was founded in 1118 by Hugues de Payens and Geoffroy de Saint-Aldeman, by permission of Badwin II, King of Jerusalem. The name of the order came from the fact that its members were originally designed to guard the Temple at Jerusalem. Uncomfortable.
