Stand but your ground your ghostly
foes will fly
He'll trembles at heaven directed eye;
Choose rather to defend than to assail-
Self confidence will in the conflict fail +:
When you are challenged, you may
dangers meet
True courage is a fixed, not sudden
heat;
Is always humble, lives in self distrust,
And will itself iuto no danger thrust.
Devote yourself to God, and you will
find
God fights the battles of a will resigned.
Love Jesus. Love wi II no base fear en-
dure-
Love Jesus. And of conquest rest Sc
cure.

more impartially. The north has al
ways honored the southern soldiers
fortitude when the war was over. The
boys in grey went back, think OF it, to
desolate fields, empty barns, homes in
ashes, fortunes lost, money worthless,
and for years to eat the crust of power
ty; while the boys in blue went back to
prosperous people. Remember how
the southern cities were burned, towns
laid waste, cotton fields devastated,
railroads destroyed, while scarcely a
battle of note outside the Gettysburg
was fought on northern soil. The boys
in grey went homo to receive no pen
sions, to have no soldiers home open
to their brave cripples, while the boys
in blue went back to enter soldiers
homes and receive pensions from the
government. And see this confeder-
att soldier with his indomitable will
and ma rnifcent courage building up
new south filled with glory and
splendor. 1t took an mericin to do
that. Thank God for the forSitude aad
uncomplaining patience of the boys in
grey.
In these days of unrest and discon-

racy triumphant, though prophecies
have be II made that our system could
not stand Il great strain. And may we
not remember that the reason why the
war lasted four years was that the
north was fighting Americans, not

this came Lincoln, StOnewall Jackson,

magnificent types of men. The Am

There is more catarrh in this
section of the country than all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For q
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it u. local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven ca
tarrh to be d constitutional dis
ease, and, therefore, requires
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
f. J. Cheney Sc Co., Toledo,
Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. It is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops
to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system. They offer one
hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars

Lent lin Grand Canary


the state of SPAIN" One need
not live year in its dominions to
make the discovery. While other
nations are making giant strides
in the path of progress, the
backbone of the nation" here,
the mass of the people, live in
medieval ignorance. The gov
ernment is thoroughly corrupt.
For example: an Englishman,
through the intervention of a
Spanish FRIEND" settled a tax
of sl00 for Els, and openly boasts
of it. The religion is little better
than idolatry. Witness the OBJ
servation Of Lent in Grand
Canary. Each little village has
it's own procession, crude and re-
pulsive in proportion to the size
of the church; but in Las Palmas,
the capital of the island, the
priests Guido themselves to please
the popular eye.
Beginning on Monday, there is
d procession each day until Fri
day, when the last and most elab-
crate calls forth peasants, sol
diers, sailors, municipal officials
and elite Of the city. The princi-
pal square, facing the cathedral,
is crowded with spectators, who
wait patiently nearly two hours
after the time appointed for the
march to begin.
At length there is stir and
bustle-a troop of mounted SOL
diers make a way through the
crowd, and from one of the side
doors issues a boy bearing a
canopy, followed by several
priests; another canopy, more
priests; then an empty cross
painted black, and after it a glass
casket gaudily decorated with
gilt and tinsel ornaments, and
surrounded with brilliant artifi-
cial flowers, in which lies a hid
eous, coarse wax fgure-the dead
Christ.
The bishop Of the island, in full
regimentals, kneeling, and, with
barred head, overlooss the process
sion from q balcony near the
cathedral. Each waxwork, as it
comes opposite him, is faced in
his direction by the unseen bear
ers, and remains stationary for a
few moments for his full inspec-
ton and approval.
/ Following the coffin comes the
figure of Mary Magdalene, with
straw-colored hair falling to her
waist over a gorgeously brocaded
costume of purple and green vel
vet. Then ST. John, in red and
blue velvet, with an imposing
escort of richly dressed priests,
and after him the masterpiece of
all-the Virgin Mary. She stands
on a canopied platform loaded
with a great variety of artificial
flowers. All of the young wives
of Las Falmas send their bridal
wreathS to decorate her altar.
The figure is clad in splendid
white satin dress heavily bro
caded with gold; the carefully ar
ranged folds of rich, black vel
vet mantle fall from under her
golden halo, over the edge of the
high platform nearly to the

Thrift on Wheels.

They have had q queer trouble with
conductors recently on the street railroad
line in Richmond, Va. The company
established a special rate of six tickets
for quarter (single fares 5 cents). A
number of conductors secured blocks of
tickets and turned these in for fares re-
ceived. Thus when six people had paid
each five cents the conductor would peck.
ct the thirty cents but turn in six tickets
that only cost him rs cents. The per-
formance cost several conductors their
places. although the company was getting
its price for each passenger.
This recalls early days of Hartford
horse car history. AT that time single
fares We're cents; tickets 20 for dollar
One well-known citizen, worth his hun
dred thousand or more, used to sit by the
fare-box in the bobtail car, and, when
seven cents were passed up to him, he
would drop in a fve-cent ticket and
pocket the cash. 1t was tine custom then
to pass up all fares each passenger being
expected to do his part as conductor for
the company This thrifty gentleman
used to clear not only enough to pay for
his own tickets but neat balance for
other uses. The company never inter
fered directly with his pastime, Tut it did
change the system. Courant

A DARING ENGINE RIDE.
How Charlas Croker Saved the Central
Pacific Railroad

"One of the most exciting and danger
Gus rides | ever had was made on loco
motive in. California in the 60's,'' said an
old resident of San Francisco to writer
in the Washington Star, who had been
speaking of the remarkable GOODNESS ex-
hibited by two men while riding behind
a runaway horse.
"The ride to which I refer happened
shortly after Charles Croker and few
other men inaugurated the Central Pacific
Railroad. The tracks of the road had
been laid as far as Newcastle, and the
company was in debt and dependency,
and L. L. Robinson, who then owned
the old original railroad from Freeport to
Folsom, was laughing in his sleeve at
what he called the Dutch Flat swindle. ;
The stages then went from Folsom to the
graet mining camps of Nevada, especially
to Virginia City. and it was the boast of
the Freeport and Folsom road people that
the Central Pacific would never be built
beyond Newcastle.
well, one morning Charles Croker left
San Francisco on the steamer bound for
Freeport with three gentlemen. includ-
ing myself. When the steamer had
reached Freeport the mail and steamers
from San Francisco for Virginia City
were Immediately put aboard the Free.
port and Folsom train, which then hur-
ried away on its journey. A spirited
team was waiting for Mr. Croker and his
companions and we quickly left the
steamboat, got into the coach and were
driven rapidly off for Sacramento CITY.
Arriving there, we found an engine and
coal tender waiting for us at the Central
depot, and Mr.. Croker gave orders to the
engineer to run the locomotive at every
pound of steam she could carry to New
castle.
when we started all of us, with the
exception OF MT. Croker, who stood at the
back OF the engineer, were seated in the
tender On various Jumps of coal and
wood, and 1t didn't take us long to real
ize, from the awful jolting and swaying
of the engine, that the road was unbai-
lasted and IN a very poor condition for
speeding. Much to our relief, after we
had passed beyond the American river
and our arms fairly ached from our ex-
ertlons to hold on and keep ourselves
from being thrown out of the tender, the
engineer suddenly lowered his rate of
speed and at the same time informed Mr..
croker that 1t would be extremely dan
gerous to run any further at the rate we
had been going.
Mr.. Croker looked. annoyed and said:
Nonsense If you are afraid, you had
better get off the engine.
He then took hold of the lever and
pulled it to the furthest limit. Of course
we all thought that Mr.. Croker was
crazy, and that the engine would soon
jump the track. But Mr. Croker would
not listensto remonstrances, never moved
a muscle, and stood at the lever until we
were all scared out of our wits, and the
engine, painting and throbbing like
huge wild beast enyeloped in a cloud of
