SAM AND TOM.
How Two BeIIiserent Negroes Were
Cured Of Fighting.


IT do not know that my opinion,'' said
yesterday Maj. Cooper of the miscellaneous
division in the Interior Department, who
has been designated by Secretary Smith to
make a thorough inspection of the Hot
Springs reservation, lis entitled to very
much consideration. but think that IL Cor
bett and Fitzsimmons want to smash each
other all to pieces they ought to have a COM
plete and convenient opportunity to do that
very thing.
THE affair makes me think Of something
I saw when 1 was little boy down on the
plantation in Georgia." continued Major
Cooper. My father, among a lot Of slaves,
had two lusty big fellows, Tom and Sam,
who were forever fighting. One day my
father gave them some work to do and rode
off to town horseback on some matter Of
business. When he returned he found that
Sam and Tom had been fighting all the
morning and had done no work. There was
mild glitter in the old gentleman's eyes
when he learned this. and he called the two
men before him.
'Tom,' he said you go and get me good,
stout tar rope
Sam, you go and get me three rawhides'
I'm few minutes the two darkeys brought
the rawh.deS and the tar rope and the mys-
terry deepened. Laying the rawhides in
row on the ground, the old gentleman took
the tar rope, stood Sam and Tom face to
face and dashed their left wrists together
SO stoutly that nothing but a knife could
get them apart. Then he put a rawhide in
the right hand of each of them and stood
off for moment to survey the situation.
Then, picking up the third rawh.de, he
said: Now, you two onery cusses, if you
don't lick each other, I'll lick you. One two
three, begin!
AT first Sam held back and Tom began.
Then Tom held up and Sam whipped a little
They were both trying to let each other
off. The old gentleman seeing this touched
up first one and then the other, and in a few
minutes Sam and Tom were larruping ga ch
other in dead earnest, and the old gentle
man was laughing until the tears rolled
down his cheeks. 1t was the most remark
able sight 1 ever saw. Those two fellows
kept at each other for about two hours, with
occasional intervals for breath and rest
Then they were released. and as long as I
knew either Of them they were the best of
friends. Never once after that did they
give each other blow. 1t was one of the
best lessons they had in all their lives, and
I think one of the same sort would be good
thing for Corbett and Fitzsimmons"

"All government, indeed, every hui
man benefit and enjoyment, every
virtue and every prudent act is
founded on compromise and barter.
We balance inconvenience; we give
and take; we remit some rights that
we may enjoy others, and we choose
rather to be happy citizens than
subtle disputapts. AS we must give
away some natural liberty to enjoy
civil advantages, so we must sacri
flee some civil liberties for the adj
vantages to be derived from the COM
munion and fellowship of a great en-
pire. But, in all fair dealings, the
thing bought must bear some pro-
portion to the purchase paid. None
will barter away the immediate jewel
Of his soul."-Edmund Burke.

Brought to Light.

At general election in England, a
candidate personally unknown to the
voters of a certain borough was asked
by party leaders to stand for it, He
belonged to a good family, and was
barrister of promise in London. His
path to success was open, as the bor-
rough belonged to his party. But
when he mounted the platform to adj
dress the electors, after a sentence or
two he turned pale and confused, his
eyes fixed on a board opposite on
which was scrawled with charcoal,

short speech, and then hurriedly
left the stand.
A few days later he rose to speak
FERROUS words written in black on the
wall confronted him. Again he left
the platform, and that night retired
from the contest for the seat in parlia
ment Not long afterwards he dis
appeared from public life, and retired
to an English colony where he hid
himself on a ranch. The words, il
was found, referred to a theft COM
mitted in his youth, which he sup
posed had been forgotten.
Alexis Piron, the French poet and
satirist, sought for many years to OBJ
tain a seat among the Forty Immortals
in the French academy. He was recog-
nized among the poets of his day. and
was confident of his ultimate admis-
sion, when vile ode, written when
he was boy, was brought to light,
and he knew that the door of the
academy was closed in his face for
ever.

Words of Wisdom and Thoughts

A Steadfast Faith.

"a steadfast faith is necessary to
steadfast conduct According to the
faith is the life. If that is uncertain
and unsettled, fixed at no point, the
result will be an unsteadiness in the
spiritual life. a lack of purpose in
the man at the helm will make the
course of the ship at sea very cratic,
and perhaps result in its ultimate de-
struction. The only safety for the
soul, the only safety for the church is
to be found in accepting the true doc
trine of salvation and continuing

tians, doing the work of the Lord, and
perfecting the religious character by
acts of righteousness. independent

An AppenI to the Churches.

The following letter has been adj
dressed by Francis E. Willard to
Christian ministers of all denomina-
tons:
Private letters which I have myself
seen, from a number of American
residents in Turkey, of unimpeach-
able character, have fully confirmed
the worst reports of the recent massa-
ere of Armenian Christians by the
Turks and Kurds. This is only the
climax of a systematic course of
Notwithstanding oppression and per-
secution extending over many years.
1t is only under the pressure of
aroused public opinion that govern
ments take action. After the Bull
garian massacres, 400 public meetings
of protest were held in England.
would therefore earnestly urge that
every Christian minister devote one
Sunday evening meeting to a con-
sideration of the situation of the Ar
menian Christians in Turkey. and
that the meeting pass resolutions of
protest, similar in general tenor to
those lately adopted by the Evangeli-
cal Alliance.
Ministers intending to preach on the
subject, or anyone wishing OF secure
the passage of resolutions by any
club or society, can be supplied with
documents and data, free of charge,
by addressing Mrs. Isabel c. Barrows,

that of honesty, absolute and I'M
qualified honesty, writes Edward w.
Box in May Ladies' Home Journal.
All the rules of business are worth
less if they are not founded on that
one and only foundation stone to
true commercial success. Honesty is
not alone the best policy in business;
it is the one and only policy. Upon
it, and upon it alone, can a good repu-
tation be built. and man in bust
ness without a reputation for hon
esty might just as well stop. Any
deviation from the rule of honesty
in business may bring temporary
gain, but it invariably means perman-
ent loss. On the other hand, strict
adherence to an honest policy may
mean a temporary loss, but it is sure
to result in a permanent gain.

the NobIest Conception.

Perhaps the noblest conception Of
religion ever given to the world is
found in the book of Proverbs, which
combines the shrewdness of Roche
foucauld and the reverence of Pascal,
where there is an easy mastery of
this world combined with IL profound
sense of the world TO come. Proverbs
is a repertory of advice on the cor
duct of life, eni its directions are
grounded not on the suggestions of a
petty cunning, but on the rock of wis
dom. With the author of 1r3VeTbs
wisdom and religion are synOny-
