The fact that there are cannibals by
race, tradition and profession at the
present day in India is established be
yond a doubt. 1t seems incredible
that IN large community like that of

be tolerated of abandoned crea' ures,
who haunt the burning grounds with
the avowed purpose of snatching and
eating tine half consumed flesh Of the
dead if they be refused the aims they
impudently demand with threats of
vengeance.
Even more extraordinary is it to
know that one of them having seized
one Of three boys at play near one of
the temples of Nassick, ripped him
open and proceeded to eat him while
still living, was sentenced by the Dis

were hoary with age when God stretch
ed out his hand and led Columbus
across the world of waters to these
emerald shores. But God is always
on time never behind time, and we
came when We were needed. He had
raised up great nations which vanish
ed into night like phantoms across our
pathway of life only to give room for
America that emerged out of the
darkness Of ages holding in her hands
the torch of liberty and wearing upon
her brow a crown of blessings.

Their Novel Honeymoon,

A week ago last Saturday, while one
of the railroad boys was inspecting
cars that had been sent out here, he
discovered that one Of them was occu-
pied. Supposing gang of hobos
were concealed in the car, he slid the
door open and said, "Well, how many
of you are in there p A fairly dressed
young man replied, "Only my wife and
me"
The railroad man was astonished
and swung himself up into the car,
expecting to find that he was being
fooled. He found, however, lying on
some pieces of burlap in one corner of
the car, woman. The man in the
car spoke to her, saying, "Well, they
are on to us and we'll have to get
out The woman arose and present
ed neat, lady-like appearance. The
couple were taken into the waiting
room, where the man produced his
marriage certificate, which gave the
names of the couple and stated that
they were married in Chicago, ILL.,,
July 10, 1894. The young man then
told his story, which is in substance
as follows:
He was at work and had saved up a
few dollars they we're married and
had bought $3.50 worth of furniture
on the installment plsl, and gone to
housekeeping. During the strike ne
had lost his place. He still owed $50
on the furniture, and the dealer, find
ing that the fellow was ont of a job,
came around and took the furniture
away, leaving the couple in the bare
rooms. Plans were talked over at
once, and it was decided to make the
trip out west, and on the evening of
August 7, at $50 o'clock, the young
people jumped on the platform Of a
blind baggage and rode out Of the
Union depot at Chicago for California,
having only S. in money to make the
trip. On platforms and in box cars
they made Ogden, where they succeed
ed in capturing the car that brought
them here.
The young fellow is about 26 years
of age and the girl is three or four
years younger. Both are intelligent
and good looking. While telling his ex-
perience the young fellow looked at
the girl and said, "She is game lit
tie woman" On the evening Of the
day of their arrival here they we're
seen to dart across the platform hand
in hand, and it is presumed that they
got out on No. 4, which was just pull
ing out.-Reno Journal.

Young Man Have Courage.

Moral cowardice is the cause Of a
great amount of sin in this world.
The young man starts out well, deter
mined to be somebody. He falls in
with a worthless set of young fellows
and becomes hoodlum before he is
aware that he is not respectable.
They dare him to do as they do; to
take more drinks indulge in more
foolishness, and he comes to think he
is brave young man, when he is
nothing of tho sort. He is not brave
enough to do what, he ought to do in
the face Of the enemy to his soul.
Young man, you should have the
courage to be man. Have the moral
courage to tell q man why you refuse
to credit him.
Have the courage to tell man why
you will not lend him your money.
Have the courage to prefer comfort
and propriety to fashion in all things.
Have the courage to discharge debt
when you have the money in your
pocket. Have the courage to own
that you are poor, and thus disarm
poverty of its sting. Have the cour-
age, in providing an entertainment for
your friends, not to exceed your means.
Have the courage to acknowledge your
ignorance, rather than to seek knowl-
edge under false pretenses. Have the
courage to do without that which you
do not need, however much your eyes
may covet it. Have the courage to
speak to friend in a seedy coat,
though you are in company with rich
friend, and richly attired.
Have the courage to speak your
mind when Il is necessary that you
should do so and to hold your tongue
when it is prudent for you to do so.
Have the courage to show your respect
for honesty, in whatever guise it ap-
pears, and your contempt for dishon-
esty and duplicity, bywhomsoever ex-
hibited. Have the courage to cut the
most agreeable acquaintance you have
when you are convinced that he lacks
principle friend should bear with a
friends infrmities, but not with his
yices.-Chicaqo World.

The Road to Ruin.

The newspapers are filled with stories
of defalcations, forgeries and murders,
and in many instances these crimes are
committed by young men Of good family
well educated, nice yolng fellows who
are above suspicion until they suddenly
become full-fedged criminals.
10 the great majority Of such cases the
young men who go wrong have been In.
dulged by their parents, and have been
allowed to live beyond their means and
grow up in idleness. It is common thing
to find q Woodworking father who Is so
proud of his gentlemanly son that he
cheerfully supports him and supplies
him with pocket money, hoping that the
youngster will some day get into light
and genteel occupation in which he. can
easily make money without working for
it. This hope Is generally disappointed.
The mistaken father forgets that an idle
brain is the DEVILS workshop. When q
lad leads an utterly idle life for few
years, and sometimes for only few
months, the chances are that he will form
bad habits and bad associations. His ex-
penditures will rapidly increase; and he
will soon find 1t difficult to supply his
wants.
When an idle young man reaches this
point he grows discontented and restless.
How can he get large sum Of money
without working for it2 This is prob
lem which he is trying to solve. BE en-

The father who supports an idle boy

some way he will be able to so through
the world we'll fed and well dressed, with;
mouey in his pocket, without striking a
lick to earn it, is training his gon for the
chaingang or gallows. Even If the boy
is too clever or too timid to plunge into
crime he is looked upon with contempt
as drone who is of no use to the CONF
munity. industrious men are unwilling
to have these fellows visit their daught;
ers or associate with their sons, and their
old playmates who are making their way
in the world by honest labor shun their

and other SUCH places played WIN
open doors along the most public
thoroughfares there were good people
and bad people, and it is the same at
this time-there arc good people and
bad people now.
The church is the thing I keep my
eye upon as the great standard for
good. It is question with me wheth-
er the church, with all the restraints
of law that has come upon us, is any
stronger, purer, or simpler than in the
old times. It used to be mighty easy
to draw the line-it was the church or
the devil. The line is not so definite
now-many bad places are very re-
spectacle places. 1t used to be the
boast of the common people that the
judiciary Of this country was safe,
honorable, just, beyond rcproach-
though the heavens fall. Now it is
common to hear of some judge being
charged with fraud, with tricks, with
Infamous methods. This is almost as
unfortunate as if the good preachers
should become sinful and that we
should lose confidence in the goodness
and purity Of our mothers.
After smoking out eight pipes of to-
bacco apiece, all the time studying,
me and Brown give it as our verdict
that there is too much law-too many
restraints put upon the people through
the Legislatures. In the olden times
there were ''unwritten laws touching
upon moral questions and these had
more weight than all the restraint put
upon the statute books since the war.
The east wind nor no other wind could
cause me to champion gaming, but in
the interest of the horse and horse
raising I would have all restraints ia
ken off of racing so that the people
who are entirely without any chance
of getting to heaven may come out
boldly and save US from hypocricy in
the matter. You can't legislate peo-
pie into goodness nor to heaven.
When I was up in Missouri last
year I went upon farm where horses
are raised in connection with dairy.
Quantities of butter was shipped from
this farm and good profit was realiz-
ed by feeding the buttermilk to colts.
The colts are taken from their mothers
at nine days old and at once broke to
the halter and learned the trough he is
to be fed from. It was sight to me
to see these colts eat buttermilk.
Stockmen tell me that Georgia crab
grass is the best hay in the world for
young colts. With this and butter
milk Georgia dairymen can raise some
of the horses which bring fabulous
prices among the sporting men Of the
world.
I've studied and studied and studied
For something nice to say,
But all the waters are muddied
And nothing seems good to-day;
Nothing seems good, for east winds blow
And clouds 81 heavy and hang 80 low.
