Unnecessary Cruelty.
Editor TIE TINES:


was in hopes something would be said
in your columns condemning the Pigeon
Shooting" which was done either in the in
corporate limits Of your town or very near
it. It was unquestionably cruel to entrap
seventy-fve harmless birds, carry them to
q field and let them 90, one at time, as If
giving them liberty, and then shoot them
down, Just toc fun.
Such cruel sport should not be allowed
in Christian land. 1 learned that the
majority OF the birds were killed, but that
many of them were wounded only to die
in the woods near by.
It is heartrending that parents calling
themselves Christians allowed their chill
dren to sell their birds to be killed or
wounded in cruel sport.
It's more astonishing that such sport
could be witnessed by a minister OF the
gospel. To comment on the cruelty OF o
cock fight and then witness the wholesale
shooting of harmless pigeons seems to be
little inconsistent.
In Massachusetts, believe there is law
prohibiting the wearing Of birds on hats
as ornaments; that thousands Of pretty,
harmless birds are killed annually to graf
ify vanity. It is o good law; lady wear
ing bird Cd her hat will fnd opinions OF
her lessened, as it is most decidedly wrong
to encourage cruelty in any form.
There are balls made for marksmens'
sport. why not use them? as that could be
witnessed and enjoyed by the most sensi-
tive, even By children. When the expert
narksman shattered his ball there would
be no cruelty; all might enjoy an afternoon
watching this skill But to see the pretty,
harmless bird, thinking it had regained its
liberty, circliDg in the bright sunshine but
to be brought down wounded. dying. and
then call that pleasure or sport. 1t IS
horrible, for j: is wrong. We have not the
right to take the life of a single one OF
Gods creatures just for sport.
Many of the birds that were sold for that
afternoons pleasure were taken from their
nest, leaving young to starve. others leav.
ing eggs. / hope such thing as Pigeon
Shooting" will not be countenanced IN this
Christian community again.

the morning of the election Messrs. ". E..

REGARDLESS OF AGE.

The kidneys are responsible for
more sickness, suffering, and deaths
than any other organs of the body.
A majority of the ills affecting
people of to day is traceable to kidney
trouble. 1t pervades all classes of
society, in all climates, regardle of
age, sex or condition.
The symptoms of kidney trouble
are unmistakable, such as rheumatism,
neuralgia, sleeplessness, pain or dull
ache in the back, desire to urinate
often day or night, profuse or scanty
supply.
Uric acid, or brick dust deposit in
urine are signs of clogged kidneys,
causing poisoned and germ-flled blood.
Sometimes the heart acts badly, and
tube casts (wasting of the kidneys) are
found in the urine, which if neglected
will result in Bright's Disease the most
dangerous form of kidney trouble.
All these symptoms and conditions
are promptly removed under the inhu-
ence of DIR. Kllmer's Swamp Root.
1t has world wide reputation for its
wonderful cures of the most distress
Ing cases.
No one need be long without it as
1t is so easy to get at any drug store
at fifty cents or one dollar. You can
have sample bottle of this wonderful
discovery, Swamp Root, and a book
telling all about it, both sent absolute
ly free by mail. Send your address to

O. J. Halls Lectures.

Mr.. c. J. Hall, of Buffalo N. Y,
came to Bloomsbury the evening of
the fifth of December, his first lecture
being held in the Presbyterian church.
SubJect-"Signs OF Promise" This
was truly sign of what was to follow.
His lecture was very encouraging to
temperance workers.
The meetings were held IN the vari-
Gus churches, being changed from
night to night. Large audiences greet
ed Mr.. Hall Notwithstanding there
were many other attractions. The
feelings OF the people intensified and
the audiences grew larger and larger
until Sabbath night, when the large
First M. E. church was taxed to its
utmost capacity. His subject was
"Home, Sweet Home"
Mr.. Hall is an all round temper
ance lecturer, striking at all the sins
of the present day and reminds one of
the old prophets who were so bold
and fearless in denouncing the sins of
Judah.
His lecture Wednesday evening on
"Tariff for Boys" was exceedingly
fine; in it he stated he was once called
upon to speak before a company of
gamblers; no one else was permitted
to be present. There were 1900 pres
ent by special invitation. They sang
the gospel songs with tears rolling
down their faces. When this question
was put to them, "How many of you
were led to gambling by a game of
cards socially in the home or parlor ?
1900 rose and were counted. No
comment is necessary; parents be-
ware!"
1t was very difficult to discriminate
between the lectures as to which was
best, but on Sabbath night the climax
was reached when he struck "Home, "
Sweet Home" and with pathos and
tenderness described happy Ameri-
can home where the mother is queen,
the father king, and the children will
ing, obedient and loyal subjects. How
precious memories touch the heart of
the absent son or daughter at hearing
the word "home," but a thrill of hor-
ror arose in the hearts of the large
audience when he portrayed the
homes greatest enemy and invader,
"The American Saloon" Certainly
Bloomsburg was favored with such
good work done with so little expense.
Mr.. Hall came for collections and
entertainment, yet would allow no
collection after he arrived until he
delivered his popular Literary Lect-
ure" Saturday night, when a silver
offering was asked for. Collections
were also taken Sabbath. He certainly
pays his own way, is an indefatigable
worker, an earnest christian, thorough
ly in love with the work, is sure to
succeed. His meetings were held
under the auspices of the w. c. T. U
aud we can safely say that the WIS
and Y's secured at least forty men,
bers. Thirty,fou were added to the
Loyal Temperance Legion, 53S
Pledges to total abstinence from all
that will intoxicate. Collections
little over $53. We shall certainly
want Mr.. Hall back again.
