A call caused me to take flying

ter laying over two hours and twenty
minutes, took the H. I. G. Tor Gar

for Waxahachie. On my arrive |
there at 8 40 p. M, l was met by MIR,
Mrs. j. NJ. Cherry who escorted me
to their hospitable home. No. 5O

to a call that my sister had made,
that we unite in family reunion, all
to meet on 2ud inst, and it was nice
ly carried ont. There l met MIR. and
Mrs. J. Nj. Neal, the latter sister |
had not St on IN nearly % years. STE
now being the mother OF five sweet
children, three girls and two boys.
This family Mr. Editor had never
met, you can imagine what JOY 1t
gave us to meet, who had not met
sister in these long % years. The
tongue fails to give or express
SEES the JOY, the pen, yet is mlsltler
than the sword, yet she fails to re-
spord to the part that is encnmbered
on her to do; sobs and tears come
freely and full. also met Bros. ".
H., j. W., J. NJ, and the late Mrs.
H. G. Lambretb. We number four
boys and two girlc, and in all we
number ffty-two with two son-in-
laws and one daughter-iu-law. Going
back to the hospitality of our estima-
BILE sister and brother we fnd our,
selves surrounded with love and care
with everything that was tempting to
the eye and taste. Their sideboard
was spread with the best Of wines
and fine drinks and their table laden
with all kinds of the best eatables
What more could we ask for, but
to enjoy ourselves and talk over the
pest: and our childhood days. The
parting hour finally came, for each of
us to return to our homes; this scene
is too sad to mention as,we, some of
us, realized that we possibly would
never meet or see each other again
on this earth. But trusting in HIM
: who Is able to save,we parted. And as
the years pass away, each one bringing
it's sorrows. its pleasures, it's pains; in
memory we often live over the
scenes of our childhood again Each
link in the cord of affection will vi.
brate full oft when We hear a football
recalling some loved one, a voice
once so dear to your ear. They have
lived, they haves passed from your
sight here forever. They are free
from all sorrow, all pain and in
that bright realm of Glory we'll know
them and love them again. They
have lived, they have loved; they a.
wait you IN those mansions prepared
tor the blest; in that land where the
years have no ending, ill that home
where the weary 6ud rest. Trust
him to the end who hath promised
that thy strength shall be even as
thy day. Aud at last, may a bright
crowd await you when you come to
the end of the way: and then when
the silver cord have lo?sened. and
the years here for ever are over; may
angels unseen softly whisper, ''come
Home and fiud rest ever more"

There is no reason, therefore, for dis
tinguishing these states from other

The South American portion of our

about 100000 square miles are subject

comparatively small area would be
greatly diminished should England ran
to support her claim to disputed terri

European powers would not like to
seize upon and parcel out South Amerl-

to America, he would like to have
them his subjects still. 1t is understood
that Germany has for some time had
designs on the Argentine republic, the
most desirable part of South America
for colonists from the temperate region
Of Europe, and, if the Monroe doctrine
were out Of the way, it is more than
probable that the Argentines would
have to fight for their independence.
AS it is, Argentina is safe. No Euro
pean nation would dare to enter upon
a war of conquest in America with the
United States as the opposing cham
pion, and while the American people
have the strength to prevent it, no
European nation will gain, Or at least
retain, a fresh foothold on the contin-
ent which gave birth to a Washington
and a Bolivar. Meantime any readers
of the Journal who are shaky on the
Monroe doctrine would do we'll to study
the evidence herewith presented Of just
what Europe has done, under our eyes,
and within the past few years, with a
continent and a people who have no
Monroe doctrine to protect them.

CAN TALK FOR MILES.
WONDERS OF THE LONG-DlS-
LANCE TELEPHONE.
BY the Use of Prof. Bells Invention
Forty Millions of People in the
United States Are Now Within
Speaking Distance of Each Other.
Linked by a Copper Wire.

By the use of the long distance tele-
phone 100000 people are within
speaking distance of each other within
the United States. Science has nothing
more remarkable to offer than this
achievement When Alexander era
ham Bell sat down at the instrument In
New York and installed the service be-
tween that city and Chicago he had
linked the people together in a bond
closer than anything else could have
done. There is satisfaction in writing
to the distant friend. There is comfort
in reading the letters that friend writes.
There is better pleasure in the mes
sage some mutual acquaintance brings
us from that loved one far away.
There is a resource in the telegraph
when the stroke of trouble or the rush
of business makes communication i'm
perative. But there is nothing like the
sound of human voice in friendship
nor the personal spoken assurance of
business correspondent.
In 1876 Professor Bell exhibited to the
public at the centennial exposition in
Philadelphia his patented telephone in
strument. 1t was the beginning of
new era. That the human voice could
be projected to a distance seemed one
Of the marvels of the age. And it was
But that modest beginning held small
promise Of the astonishing results that
have followed. Yet the beginning was
a foreshadowing of a greater occasion;
for if voices could be heard half a mile,
why not ten miles? And if so far, why
not for hundred? 1t is likely there
was limit even in speculation. But
that limit has constantly grown until
to-day there is direct telephone com
munication between both places
and Pulaski. Tenn, which is far
down toward the Alabama bor-
der. And within this triangle,
between what is for the pres
ent the limits of the service, there are
means of interconmunication in every
city and almost every town. And as
the greater portion Of the population
of the country lies east of the Rocky
Mountains, it is no exaggeration to say

Doewood's Many Uses.

Dogwood wands make excellent
whipstocks, and are used in some of
the best whips. They are cut sometimes
by coachmen in the suburbs and sent
to town to be dressed and made up into
whips. The stocks made of this wood
are notable for their ornamental knobs
at regular intervals, being the trun-
Gated and rounded branches. These
are initiated in some other whipstocks,
but the imita ton is a cause of weak
ness. The dogwood stocks are ex-
tremely tough and elastic, being COM
parable in elasticity with whalebone.
The wood is used also for butchers
skewers, and some philologists conjec-
ture that the first syllable of the name
is a corruption of dag" meaning a
spine or dagger. Dogwood, as being Pc
culiarly free from slick, is used by
watchmakers and opticians in clean
ing watches and lenses. The bitter
bark of the dogwood is used also as a
substitute for the Peruvian Quinine
tree. Dogwood is notably of slow
growth, and in all thicl1ly populated
regions the tree is recklessly despoiled
for the sake of it's blossoms, so that
the supply of the wood for commercial!
purposes is not large.-New York Sun.

simply a Belgian military station and
trading post, under the individual
sovereignty of Leopold, King of the
Belgians, who has bequeathed to Bel
GUM by will all his sovereign rights
in the State. The question at issue re-
garding the Congo Free State is not
what Belgium will do to deyelon If
but whether France or England will
succeed in annexing it. The chances
appear to favor the addition of the
Congo Free State, with it's 100000
square miles of territory, to England's
already enormous possessions in Africa
England is also looked upon as the
probable purchaser of Portuguese At
RIGA, as soon as the needs of PortugaPs
straitened treasury may drive that ma
ton to part with its colonies.
While the South African republics
possess autonomy, they cannot be
called Independent in the full mean

in length, and average forty-tive to
the mile The use of cables is avoided
as much as possible, as the wrapping
diminishes the effectiveness Of the serv
ice. Leave the harddrawn copper
wire absolutely free and it will bring
together the most distant points. This
rule has to find some exceptions in
cities, and one Of the common sights
is the dra wing of cables through con-
duits by number of men working Il
MINDLESS above one of the openings in
the street. Yet once away from the
trammels of the town the line is car
ried high and free, unprotected from
weather and unshielded from attack.
There seems really to be no limit in
point of distance, as there was none
for the telegraph. Whether in time {;
telephone cable may be laid under the
ocean, that princes abroad may court
annoyance of a trip to the States is
a question which only time may solve.
But it seems the heavier part of the
problem is thing of present demon
stration. There is no doubt wires will
be stretched all over the country, and
that the Atlantic and the Pacific may
soon be nearer neighbors than they
have been in the past. There are spec
ulative possibilities without limit.

that two-thirds of all the people in the
country are within easy speaking dis
lance of each other.
In Chicago alone there are 1000 long
distance telephones for every telephone
connected with the central may be
switched at once on the long-distance
WIRE and a man may sit in his office
and speak as to a man across the room
with a man in New York, or in a New
England town, or in the SUMMER cities
Of the South.
In a great many business houses there
are what are known as longdistance
booths. They are simply little rooms
that have been especially constructed
for the exclusion Of sound. And there
the business man who does not care
to have even his own employees hear
him may retire and hold the most con-
fidential conversation with the most
distant correspondent He may be as
sured not only that no one in his office,
but that no one along the line will hear
him. There are but two persons in the
world to whom the substance of that
talk is known, and they are the two
who We're intended to know it.
There are good many towns out Of
Chicago where the old style of wire is
still in use, and these are, for all prac-
teal purposes. deprived of the use of
the long-distance service. It is impos-
sible to get good results with any but
the double metallic wire, which is used
by the long-distance people. But, as
the old-fashioned grounded wires are
fast passing out of use all over the
country and as the copper wire is being
substituted in their place, the time is
not far distant when the long-distance
service will be coextensive with the dis
tribution of the telephone from ocean
to ocean.
In a business way the benefit IS
plain. A patron may be assured he is
getting the person for whom he calls;
so that a contract made over the wire
