A MODEL SAVAGE.
King Of a Country OF savages and the
Good Work He Has Done.

King Of a Country Of savages and the
Good Work He Has Done.
King Khama is a model savage, il
a black man who has been thorough
ly civilized by European and mis-
sionary influences can still be called
one. He is an autocrat OF the pest
possible type, whose influence in his
country is entirely thrown into the
scale of virtue for the suppression Of
vice. Such a thing as theft is I'M
known in his realm; be will not allow
his subject to make or drink beer.
"Beer is the source OF all quarrels,"
he says; 81 will stop it." He has
put stop also to the existence Of
witch doctors and their wiles
throughout ali the BamangwatO, says
the Contemporary Review
He conducts in person services
every Sunday in his large, round
kotla, or place Of assembly, standing
beneath the tree of justice and the
wide canopy of heaven in truly pa
triarchal style. He is keen IN the
suppression of all suporstitions, and
eats publicly the flesh Of tie duyker,
a sort OF roebuck, which was form
erly the totem OF the tribe, and held
as sacred among them twenty years
ago. The lac King Sikkome. Kha-
mas father, would not so much as
step on duyker skin, and it is still
looked upon with more veneration by
his subjects than Khama would wish.
As an instance of Khama's power
and judgment, it is sufficient for us
to quote the sudden change OF his
capital from Shosholg to the present
site, Palapwe. Shoshong was in a
strong position, where the Bamang-
wato could effectually protect them
selves from the Matabele raids under
Lobengula, but it was badly supplied
with water. and in dry seasons the
inhabitants suffered greatly from
drought. The change of capital had
been a subject discussed for years,
but Khama waited quietly until the
people began to think that be was
against 1t and would never move. He
waited, in fact, until he was sure Of
British protection. until he knew
that Lobengula could not attack his
people at Palapwe without embroil-
ing himself in a war with England.
Then suddenly one day, now five
years ago, without any predatory
warning King Khama gave orders for
the move and the exodus began on
the next day, and in two months
time 10, 000 individuals were located
in their new capital, sixty miles
away from Shashong Under KhaTa's
direction everything was conducted
in the best possible order; every
man was given his allotted grounl
and told to build his huts thereon.
Not single dispute arose and no
one would imagine to-day that only
a few years ago Pala1we was unin-
habited.
Khama in manner and appearance
is thoroughly gentleman, dignified
and courteous; he wears well-made
European clothes; a billy-cock hat
and gloves, in his hand he brand
ishes dainty cane AM he pervades
everything in his country, riding
about from point to point wherever
his presence is requested, and il he
is just little too much of dandy it
is an error in his peculiar case in
the right direction.

STONEWAIL JACKSON.
His Unabatcd Interest i'm II CoIOrcd
Sunday School.

His Unabatcd Interest in u CoIorcd
Sunday School.
The following story of Stonewall
Jackson was related a few years ago
by Mr.. George Fl. Motfett, of the Even
ing Telegram, Portland. Oregon, and
has been recently printed in the
Century
my acquaintance with him was
only such as u boy of sixteen would
have with a man of mature years. Our
only point of intimate contact lay in
the fact that | taught a class in the
now famous colored Sunday school
which he had organized in connection
with the Presbyterian church of the
town. But ! believe this Sunday
school of negro children Of which he
was superintendent lay closer to his
heart than any other object on earth
except his home and family. In the
war though much under legal age,
became a private cavalryman. Some
times | saw General Jackson. In
August, 1862, the day before he met
and drove back Popc's army in the
battle of Cedar Run, ] was riding down
the road leading north from Orange
Court House, on my way from brigade
headquarters to join my regiment on
the Rapidan, when | overlook IL divis-
ion of infantry on the march. going to-
ward Culpcpcr. The active move
ments OF u forces indicated the sharp
work that was ncar at hand. When
| reached the head of the column [
found General Jackson, his cap drawn
down over his forehead, riding alone
and apparently buried in deep modita-
ton of his strategic plans. rode by
with Il silent salute, but he recognized
me, called to me to halt, and, riding
up by my side, began to talk about the
colorcd Sunday school in Lexington.
1t was a great qualification to him, he
said, that the school was being kcptup
IN his absence. So we parted, and he
rode on to bloody victory.
And once again: it was the after
noon of the first day of the second Bull
Run battle, and one of the most criti-
cal moments of Jackson's whole mill
tlry career He had come round
through Thoroughfarc Gap, putting
Bull Kun Mountains and Pope'S whole
army between himself and Lee. Pope
had turned, closed in upon him, and
brought him to bay. The battle had
been raging for hours, and though
Longstreet had com to Jackson's aid,
no one could yet say that Jacks0n's
hard-prcssed left would not be over
whelmed. Our battalion OF cavalry
unucl' MAJOR Iatrlck had been halted
near GrOvetOn-almost in the centre of
the field OF battle-and sharpshootcrs
were dcploycd to meet the enemy, who
were coming down the Wmrcnton
pike. At this moment General Jack
son rode up. There was hard fighting
everywhere. He c%onvcrscd for Il few
moments with Major Patrick, and
then turned and spoke to me. He said
that certain OF our men on an cminpnpp
above the road were nccdlcssly cXpos-
ed, and babe me ride to them and call
them in. had started to obey, when
he suddenly stopped me with
"Oh | had a letter II few days ago
from Doctor White. and he tells me
that our Sunday school is still kept
up
THAT was well. [ vent my way to
execute his command. and he rode
back to his infantry. | never saw him
again"

DEATH THROUGH A KISS.
While Caressing His Grandchi!d u
Hair Lodged in the Old Mans Wind
pipe and Killed Him.

SUSQUEHANNA, Pa, Jan. 3O.-An
aifectionate kiss, imprinted upon the
rosy cheek of u beautiful llaXen haired
grandchild. has suddenly terminated
the festivities of q golden wedding.
The aged grandfather is no more, and
his widow, overcome with grief, is not
likely to V
1t was u joyous company of young
middle aged and aged people who con-
gregated at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Samuel Larkin on Thursday. They
met in honor Of the tifticth wedding
anniversary of their host and hostess,
who had passed their allotted three
score years and ten, and ere still in
the enjoyment of perfect health.
Several sweet faced, laughing grand
children were present to contribute
their share of sunshine to the occasion.
Little 5-ycar-old Mary Edwards. with
her bright blue eyes and light trcsses,
was there. After kissing her grand
mother aifectionately, she sprang up
in her grandfathcr's lap cXclaiming,
Grandpa, | have lots OF kisses and a
bear hug for you"
Then the old man pressed the sweet
face of his favoritc grandchild to his,
fervcntly rcmarking: God bless you,
Mary no company would be complete
without you you are the embodiment
of sunshine itself, and | trust you will
grow to be a noble woman"
Tell me how much You love me,
grandpa" said the child, land then |
will give you the kisses and the bear
hug
II cannot tell you how much l love,
you, child, answered the old man,
" but can aSSur you it is u big lot
Then Grandfather Larkin imprinted
kiss after kiss upon the ruby cheeks,
and the child, delighted at the mani
festatiOn of affection, returned the
compliment, and throwing her little
arms about the old mans neck. gave
the promised bear hug" She then
crawlcd dow from Grandpa's lap, and
busted herself for a time among the
others of the company. An hour later
and just before the joyous party were
about to partakc of dinner, the same
little Mary approached her grand
to give you n more kiss before din
ncr, and then want you to sit by me
at the table"
The Old man smiled and lifted the
little girl in his arms. Two minutes
later he felt u tickling sensation in his
throat. and realizing that in returning
the last kiss II hair had caught in his
mouth and been sucked into his wind
pipe.
This Immediately produced hard fits
of coughing, and before relief could be
obtained Il blood vessel had rupturcd,
and death resulted instantly.
CONSERVATION rcigncd for Il time,
and the aged partner of the unfortunate
scptuagcnarian, overcome with grief,
fell in Il swoon. She rallied an houl
later, but it is thought her great grief
will cause her death in Il short time.

If WE COULD KNOW.
BY MRS. A. w. CURTIS.

III we could know what lies before our
feet,
II we could see the shadows lowering
near,
We would not dare to take another
step;
Dur life would be an agony of fear.
II we could know what one small word
would do,
To brighten up this little world of
ours,
To cheer and comfort worn and weary
hearts,
How carefully we'd scatter these
sweet flowers.
If we could know how o our home
would be
Bereft of all that makes it bright
and dear,
How would the shadow of the coming
O'erwhelm lis with it's constant dread
and fear.
Not knowing, we go onward day by
day,
And if this day be full of grief and
pain,
We think tomorrow will be brighter
far,
And for each loss there will be some
sure gain.
Oh it is we'll for us our Father keeps.
Securely hidden from our mortal
eyes,
The rough and rugged pathway we
must tread,
Before we reach our home beyond
the skies.
Oh, it is well for stumbling blindly
on,
We reach like little children for His
hand
And, clasping il, take courage, know
ing well
He'll bring us safely to the better

The FARMER AND THE NEWSPAPER
MAN.-Many men think that ncws-
paper men are persistent dunncrs. BY
way of comparison let us suppose that
a farmer raises 1000 bushels of wheat
a year and sells this to 1000 persons in
all parts of the country, u great portion
oft hem saying, 81 will hand you IDOL
lar in n short time" Tho farmer does
not want to be small and q Y all right.
soon the 1000 bushels are gone, but
he has nothing to show for it. and
then he realizes he has fooled away
his whole crop, and it's value to him
is due in a thousand little driblcts.
consequently he is seriously cmbarrass-
ed in his business, because his debtors,
each owing him q dollar, treat it as a
matter and think it would not
help much. Continue this kind of
businesses year in and year out, as the
publisher does, how long will he stand
1T? a moments thought will convince
any one that IL publisher has cause foc
persistent dunning.
