ALEAP FOR LIBERTY.-Last W ed
nesday morning as we were going
up Ryan street and as we neared
the Broad street crossing a
fine deer came running by, leap
ing high in the air over the
foundation of the new Kaufman
brick building, and made its way
at fearful speed out Broad street
When near the Watkins bank, it
was SO holly pursued by dogs that
it turned into the vacant lot on the
corner of Hodges and ran right
into the composing room of the
American Office. The devil closed
the door against the dogs and
closed the deer on the inside.
Then came the tug of war.

Why should Christ be chastised

ground has to be wounded by the

harrows, before it will produce
bread for us? How is it that the
grain must be bruised under the
millstones before it will make
bread for US, How is it that
plants, flowers and fruits yield
their latent virtues only when
bruised? Why IS vegetable life
sacred to us?- Why is animal life
slain for us! Finding the answer
to these questions will open the
higher question.-Pulstord.

The true hero is the great wise
man of duty-he whose soul is
armed by truth and supported by
the smile of God; he who meets
life's perils with a cautious but
tranquil spirit, gathers strength
by facing its storms, and dies, if
he is called to die, as a Christian
victor at the post of duty. And
if we must have heroes and wars
wherein to make them, there is no
so brilliant war as war with
wrong, and no herr so tit to be sung
as he who has gained the bloodless
victory of truth and mercy.-H

DESTINED To BEcoME.-The
American, a neat sixteen page
journal published at Lake Charles
La, and devoted to the interest
of Southwestern Louisiana, the
home circle and general news,
comes out in a bran new dress.
1t is replete with interesting read
ing matter descriptive of that sec
ton of the State which is destined
to become the garden spot, not of
Louisiana alone, but Of the whole
Union. To those desiring infor-
nation Of this land of fruits and
flowers. we cheerfully recommend
the American as the medium
through which this information
may be obtained.-Jackscn Senti-
mel.
THE PRoeREss fully agrees with
the Sentinel. No paper in this
State is.,,doing more to build up
her interests than is the American.
She is constantly and ably pre-
senting to the world our stately re-
sources and advantages, bringing
to the knowledge of men what she
is already doing for the industrial
world. If all our papers would do
more of such work and less of
grumbling and scolding about the
dolitical advantages which one
faction, of the parties acquire over
another, Louisiana would be much
better off and her people vastly
more contented. The American
has done good work for South
western Louisiana.

from the n. W. c. I. L. Dept. of Mercy,
Mrs Mary F. Lowell, Supt., has the follow
ing: "The little agret plumes now so com
monty worn instead of the bodies of birds,
involve exactly the same cruelty as though
the birds We're worn. They are the pIumes
OF the white heron, and the poor bird has to,
be killed in the breeding season to obtain
them, the young ones being left to starve.
have heard pitiful stories of the horrid work
being done close to the nests which the poor
bird had been trying to protect. What must
our Father think of such hideous cruelty to
His creatures, simply to wear little tuft or
a good many, as the case may be, ON the top
OF bonnet" Let us think of the cruelty
involved in obtaining such ornaments and
we must surely forego their use. E.F.M.

penned At times one longs for the in
vigorating, tonic giving atmosphere of
America, instead of the dull, depressing
climate here Our food becomes distaste-
full after time. 1t is the same bill of
fare repeatedly, and the stomach begins
to crave some old fashioned New England
food. The country has few sheep and
goats, but there is no beef OF other heavy
meat except once in a while buffalo OF
deer, if one is good shot. Our meats
are all canned. and some one has said that
after a year or SO one does not care much
whether he eats the meat OF the can
There is nearly as much nourshment in
one as the other.
We had quite an exciting adventure a
short time ago. it being no less than the
recapturing by the missionaries of a
young woman who had been stolen from
our tribe by two men from a distant town.
1t appears that the young woman, Soda
town when the men seized her and
made off. The alarm was at once given
and the chief implored Mr.. Scott to have
the missionaries lead in the pursuit. as
all the tribes have great respect for the
white men. Mr.. Scott agreed and a num-
Der of Ms at once set out, accompanied by
several friends of the girl. Dividing into
two parties we traversed the different
roads. and finally united at the town
where the kidnappers belonged, but it
had been abandoned the inhabitants
being warned by signals of the ap.
proach of the pursuers. After a time
the people showed themselves, and after
some talk the prisoner was given up to
us. 1t meant slavery to her if she had
not been rescued, and there was great re-
ioicing in the Nungu district on our re-
turn many towns joining in the jubilee.
And such rejoicing. We believe there
will soon be the same rejoicing over souls
born into the Kingdom. The Lord has
used this little incident for us to get an
other hold of the hearts of the people.
They are very grateful, and pronounce
the ''-Nindele mia N.ombi' white men OF

The Cause of Rheumatism.

An acid which exists in sour milk and ci.
der called Tactic acid, is believed by physi.
clans to be the cause of rheumatism. Ac-
cumuating in the blood, it attacks the tib
rous tissues in the joints, and causes agoniz
ing pains. What is needed is remedy tc
neutralize the acid, and to invigorate the
kidneys and liver that all waste will be car
ried off. Hoods Sarsapar1lla is heartily
recommended by many whom it has cured
of rheumatism. 1t possesses just the desir
ed qualities, and so thoroughly purifies the
blood as to prevent occurrence of rheuma
tic attacks. We suggest trial of Hoods
Sarsaparilla by all who suffer from rheuma
tism.
