Observance of this period is looked
forward to by many as a restful one,
and one in which that recognition on
ly due should be given to the powers
that be for much we enjoy. Others
meet the occasion with regret that any
sweet moments of dissipation in the
routine of society life should be shad-
owed by obligations of such nature.
Take the matter as suits you best,
and there is no reason why any trip
you feel like making should not be
taken over the Minneapolis and St
Louis Railway, which by its main line,
branches and connections reaches all
points in Minnesota, Iowa, Dakota,
Missouri, to Chicago and points east,
or south and west. Information can
be secured from any railway ticket

Taking an Oath of Friendship.

The London Illustrated News de-
scribes a curious ceremony which re-
Gently occurred in British Burmah,
while British expedition was en-
gagged in bringing certain hostile tribes
into subsection in the Lushai country.
The scene depicted is that of Lushai
chief aking Ga oath of friendship
with the political officer of the expe-
dit;on, Mr.. Murray. Preparatory to
the ceremony, clear space was made
in the jungle, and plantain-leaves
strewn on the ground. Then the
chief, bis brother, and attendants,
seated themselves in q row, facing a
youn, pig and gyal or tame bison,
which were tied to tree.
After short parley the chief rose
and, taking spear, handed it 10 Mr..
Murray, and they both plunged it into
the pig. The chief then smeared some
of the pigs blood on Mr.. Murray's
forehead, and the latter returned the
compliment. A similar ceremony was
performed with the gyal. The chief
then said: Until the sun ceases to
shine in the heavens, and until yoRder
stream runs backward, ! will be your
true and faithful friend" Potations
of rice beer and rum concluded the
ceremony. An oath taken in this msn-
ncr is considered by the Lushais most
binding, and they are seldom known
to break it.

EEhat Does IL Matter Z

Wealth and glory, place and power,
What are they worth to me or you!
For the lease of life runs out in an hour,
And death stands ready to claim his due
Sounding honors or heaps of geld,
What are they all when all is told?
a pain or n pleasure, a smile or tear
What does it matter what we claim?
For we step from the cradle into the bier,
And careless world goes on the same,
Hours ofgladness or hours of sorrow,
What docs it matter to us tomorrow?
Truth Ct love or VOW of friend
Tender caresscs or cruel sneers-
What do they matter to us in the end?
For the brief day dies and the long night
nears
Passionate kisses or tears of gall,
The grave will open and cover them ALL
Homeless yagrant, or honored guest,
Poor and humble or rich and great
All are racked with the worlds unrest,
All must meet with the common fate.
Life from childhood till we are old,
What is all when all is told?

One Coiorcd Man Shot Dead, Two seri-
ousiy Wounded, and others Whipped
and Driven away.
Alarming reports have been circulating FOX
some time in regard to threatened uprising
of colored people in Amite, La.
The rumors say that misled eolored people
are holding frequent night meetings and are
procuring arms and ammunition from many
quarters to use against the whites in contest
which they propose to precipitate. By some
these rumorS have been regarded as eanards
but recent events indicate that they are not
groundless and the whites viii do well TO pre-
pare for the worst.
For some time past two white men have
been living in this community who are said TO
associate with the colored population of the
parish on terms of social equality. 1t is also
said that they have used their influence to
incite a strike for higher wages among the
blacks.
Week before last meeting Of white citizens
was held, and committee was appointed to
interview the two offenders When the COM
mittee attempted to carry out its instructions
the men called the negroes to their support
and several pistol-shots mere fired, fortunately
no one being injured.
Quiet was restored, and no further trouble
occurred until about o'clock when several
gunshots were heard about mile ahovetown.
Shortly afterward George Howard the most
desperate negro in the parish, came in on
horse-wagon wounded in the arm with a bali
from Winchester rifle. II is reported that
he had been Intercepted ON his way 10 work by
an armed posse of white men and shot.
Within five minutes after Howard arrived
there was simultaneous charge into the town
from every road of armed men on horseback
numbering about POO Most Of them were dis
guised. They surrounded the important
squares of the town, threw out their pickets
and asked the whereabouts of Henry Daniels
lack Taylor, Dug Tillis and George Howard
Armed posses Of 10 or ID were sent at once in
search of them.
Howard was found In Tom Sewell's garden
lie refused TO surrender and was killed Two
of the horses of the party were wounded by
shots from the garden at the time the shooting
was going on, yet there WIS no gun near
Howard when he was found dead.
Two other negroes, Jake Ransom and Tod
Flanders were wounded at the same time in
the garden. Dug Tillis was found and he,
with two o. her bad negroes, were taken to the
outskirts of the corporation, whipped and
ordered to leave. Armed squads were then
sent out to capture the arms of the suspected
co!ored people, Eighteen or twenty double
barreled guns, two Winchester rifles and a
number of pistols were taken.
This armed crowd then dispersed The re-
pealed threats on the part of the negroes
against the whites, the firing upon the COM
mittee named above, and the cruel beating Of
white child bya negro man few weeks ago
and their making arsenals Of their homes 50

they would bear ii no longer but would meet
the Issue as they did. Everything is quiet
