thcic Mosos fossum prayer.
Great CONSERVATION, followed by wild
laughter, was an innovation Of the chapel
exercises at the penitentiary not long
ago. 1t was occasioned by possum
prayer from old Nose Allen, South
Carolina negro with one leg, who was
dreaming of Thanksgiving day, Chap
lain Dudley opened the prayer meeting
as usual, and prisoners followed briefly,
When all heads were bowed in reverence
old Nose Jumped at the opportunity and
delivered the following prayer:
Dear beloved brudderin and sister'n,
| tank de Lord for permittin me to kun
terchurch dis yer beautiful Sabbot' morn.

ing day is near at han. On dat day some

Chaplain Dudley stood aghast at the
conclusion of the prayer. A moment
afterward the chapel re-echoed the wild
and wicked shouts of the prisoners. For
about five minutes CONSERVATION reigned,
at the end of which time prayers We're
resumed, with no further expressions

The medical profession really begins
to believe that cancer can be cured
The cure is effected through knowledge
of microbes. There is a microbe for
each disease, and the cancer germ has
been already discovered. The first step
toward finding the cure was the discov-
cry that if patients affected with cancer
were suddenly taken with certain other
diseases for instance, erysipelas-the
cancer ceased its ravages during the
progress OF the other ailment This was
known a century ago But not till re-
Gently was the cause discerned through
the germ theory. 1t was found out that
the bacteria of certain diseases were hos
tile to one another and waged war upon
one another in the human blood when
they met. If, then, the cancer patient is
inoculated with the erysipelas virus the
microbes of the two diseases attack one
another, and the erysipelas germ de-
stroys the cancer germ. 1t is claimed
that certain cures of the dread cancer
have been effected in this way in New
York and in Berlin, Paris and Vienna
