THE RAZORBACK.
1rom the LAFAYETTE Sun.

From the Lafayette sun.
Every ountry-raised boy or girl knows
a razorbacls. He is of tribe that is in
disrepute. His pedigree was lost when the
flood came, and 1t is impossible to tell
where he came from. You cannot make
anything out him except a long-nozed
razorback. Corn won't fatten him, petting
won't make him friendly, salt won't save
him, and his soul is as hard as the head of
a western congressman. In short, he Is
about as useful as was the negro soldiers
in the late fight with Spain. His hide Is
too tough for shoe leather, his brains-well,
he hasn't any. He is public nuisance. He
pushes all the gates in the neighborhood
off, and gruntS under your bedroom TIL
you cannot go to sleep. He eats more corn,
makes more noise and kills more time than
all the pigs in the barn yard. This razor
back has his counterpart in the human
family. You see him often. He is rusty,
rugged and runty. He loves no one. hates
everybody, cusses everything, finds fault
with the preacher, takes the county paper
five years on a credit then refuses to take
it out of the office, puts his long nose into
affairs that do not concern him, and gin
every sense is a razorback. AS for us, We
like the Poland, Berkshire and Chester
breeds of pigs as well as men. Kill all the
razorbacks in the lot and get you some
breeds that will fatten.

sTRoNG's BLAND is BARRHN Ea

Strongs Island, usually called Julian
Kusai is on the map as one of the great
group of Carolines, but that's about all.
1t figures on some charts as ITALIAN, on
others as Kurile, and on few more as
Kusaiev.
1t is inhabited by handful of Polynes-
ians, who spear fish and chase turtles on
the beach for living. Its exports and inn
ports do not amount to rs cents a year.
1t produces only the barest necessities of
life for its struggling population.
1t was discovered in 1904 by an American
named Grocer, and is the seat of an Amer-
can mission. 1t is a volcanic island of about
thirty square miles, and is wanted for a
cable station, because 1t lies midway be-
tween Hawaii and Mindanao, the southern
most of the Philippine islands.
President Mckinley proposes to pay ST.
900 for it. That sum would buy block
of Broadway or a row of brown-stone
houses on any good side street from ave-
nue. to avenue. 1t would even buy the plot
at Wall street and Broadway, the most
expensive piece of land in the United
States.

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS FEES.


There is one little point, however, made
by one of my correspondents which is too
good to be missed. He remarks that the
principal of the denial of pain, and the
other principles on which Christian Science
is based, logically apply to other evils be-
sides more bodily disease. You have an
excruciating pain in your big toe. Refuse
to believe in the pain, says the Christian
Scientist, and the pain ceases to exist.
Carry the argument a step further. You
owe Jones e5, Ga circumstance which may
cause you quite as much annoyance as
pain in your big toe.) Refuse to believe in
it. and the debt ceases to exist. There are
many people who would appear to adopt
this principle in financial matters already
much to their comfort and advantage. Tt
only remains for the Christian Science
patient to apply this principle to the Chris
tan Science healer. The latter charges a
guinea a week for Christian Science treat
ment. Let her only by the power of faith
believe that the guinea has been paid and
there will be no necessity for handing over
cash.

RESTRICTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
Love is like a butterfy-it was probably
a lot more comfortable when 1t was a
worm.
The average woman doesn't want her
husband to be just; what she wants is for
him to love her.
If there are women who can make a fool
of every man, there are other women who
can make man of every fool.
Before a man falls in love he wonders
how a woman would suit him for wife;
after he falls in love he wonders how he
would suit a woman for husband.
The best imitation OF a woman hurrying
through some shopping In a department
store is a cat for about five minutes after
she has lit with all four feet on a hot stove
by mistake.

WHY NOT?
From the Roanoke Leader.

From the Roanoke Leader.
We don't like to wear patched clothes
when we can do better. Neither do we
want Alabama to stand before the world
In patched garments. We refer to our old
constitution, which has been mended so
often that 1t is already unsightly. Nearly
everybody admits that 1t is defective. and
that the progress of the state Is retarded
by 1t. But some claim that the evils can
be remedied by patch work. Why not do
better than that? Why not array Ala
bama, the fairest daughter of the union,
In q new and becoming robe, SO that she
will command not only the admiration Of
her people at home, but brains and capital
from abroadf

From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
1t is estimated that the world has had
1850 kings or emperors of whom records
are known, and who have reigned over
seventy-four peoples. AT these rulers 300
were overthrown, sixty-four were forced
to abdicate. twenty-eight committed sui
eide, twenty-three became mad or imbecile,
100 were killed in battle, 1923 were captured
by the enemy. twenty-five were tortured TO
death, Isl were assassinated, and 1853 were
executed.

The convention then adjourned to meet in
December next, During the discussion on
the subject of Supplementary Work in the
State Course of Study ii was stated that
the state course of study in some of its
parts is not based on the textbooks adopted
by the State, but upon other books which
are so different from the adopted books that
if a teacher uses the state course of study
he is compelled to buy these extra text
books These books, 1t is alleged. are writ
ten by members of the State Normal School
faculty, and are published by a company
composed of members of the faculty and
their friends. AS an indication of the feel
ing among the superintendent, the
statement was made that one superintend-
ent reported that five hundred of these ex-
ira textbooks had been sold to his teach
crs, while other superintendent reported
similar conditions. The discussion, however
did not develop into anything serious, and
no action was taken on 1t.

A letter from Tampa concerning the dis
tribution of Testaments among the troops
says:
Il wish you would understand that it is
probable that more good is being done in
the distribution of the Testaments than by
any other single operation. The men are
for the most part, eager for them, and only
a few, very few, will not take them. The
first shipment of 5000 to hand and almost
gone. We sent 1900 down to the transports
and the men scrambled to get them. Had
we shipping facilities we could have used
twice many. L feel that if they will
carry a Testament they will read it, and
God will use His word. Many of the dear
fellows are rough, ready and kind On one
occasion we had held service and were
ready to give out Testaments. The preacher
who went with us had an armful. and the
men were about to crush him when one
called out: Look out, boys! don't knock the
parson down We have evidence of the
Lords using the work on every hand. IN
officer has just said: You men are doing a
great deal of good. and the kind you are
doing will count for more with these men
than preaching would. -
In order that the American Bible Society
may be able to respond to the many unex-
pected demands upon it for Testaments for
the army and navy churches and individuals
are urgently invited to send contributions
to William Foulke, treasurer, Bible House,
New York.

CAPT. j. R. HENRY RESIGNS
TO RETIRE FROM THE INDIANA RE-
FORMATORY BOARD.
Senator Charles e. ShiveIy, OF Rich
rvs Candidacy for State Treasurer.

Governor Mount yesterday announced the
resignation of Captain James r. Henry as
a member of the board of managers for the
Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville, to
take effect as soon as his successor is ap-
pointed The statement came somewhat in
the nature of a surprise to everyone, but
the explanation given by Captain Henry
was of a character satisfactory to the Gov
ernor. and his resignation was accepted
with regrets.
Late in the day the announcement was
made by the Governor that his successor
had been named in the person of Senator
Charles E. Shively, of Rchz.and, who was
notified of his new appointment and while
not formally accepting the place, assurance
was given to Governor Mount that he
would do SO. Captain Henry, in offering
his resignation to the Governor, gave as his
reason for the move that he was now cam
didate for the office of state treasurer, and
he did not think it proper that he should
attempt to hold two offices at the same
time Captain Henry has been in this city
about two years, coming here from Spencer
with the establishment of the State Bank of
Indiana to act as cashier.

Thirty-Two Women Witnesses.

The $4,000 SANDER suit of Mrs. Louise
Smock against Rev. Charles L. Berry and
the deacons of the Garden Baptist Church
went to trial in the Circuit Court yesterday
before jury. Thirty-two women were in
court when the session opened yesterday
morning and most Of them were sworn in
as witnesses. -aa
The plaintiff ayers that in May, 1896, she
was expelled from the church. She was
charged with being the cause of strife in
the congregation. These charges she AYERS
are untrue, and she claims that her reputa-
ton has been injured by their publication.
The defense is that the charges against Mrs.
Smock were not published and that the
complaints against her were heard in secret
sessions, 1t is asserted that there was no
malice in the action taken against Mrs
Snlock.

Signal Corps Applicants.

There continues to be about twice as
many applicants for service in the new sig
nal corps as there are places for the men
who come. Most of the applicants do not
understand that there are qualifications
necessary for enlistment in this corps in ex-
cess of the other branches of the service,
and, as consequence, only a few of those
who applied yesterday were accepted. The
following, most of them being members of
the old state corps of photographers, were
enlisted: Il. B. Chaplin. Warsaw: L. d.
Callison, Warsaw: John Lahue, Warsaw
