In The Masters Vineyard.

On last Sunday morning, the
pastor being still absent on &C
count Of illness, The Salvation
Army, by special request, conduct
ed the services. The result of this
meeting was two conversions, one
reclaimed.
Last Monday night, by special
request, the cottage prayermeeting
was held at the residence of Judge
A. w. 0. Hicks with The Saliva
ton Army as leaders. The result
was two conversions, one reclama-
ton, one sanctifcation.
No mention is made here of the
great work which this band of
laborers is doing in it's own spe-
cial field. There, a conversion OF
reclamation is almost a aightly
occurrence: a sanctification by no
means rarity. More than a hum
dred souls have passed from death
unto life under their efforts in
the last three months. And
yet in spight Of this great showing
for the Master; in the face of this
wonderful manifestation OF power
with God unto the salvation and
sanctificaton OF souls, there are
Christian men and women in
Shreveport who are opposing the
work Of The Salvation Army be-
cause of the methods employed.
Without seeming to be aware of it,
they become stumbling blocks in
the way of sinners who would seek
Chlst for salvation. Stand in the
light. of some followers of Jesus
who, but for them, would enjoy a
richer experience. In their anx-
lety to be decorous andimpress their
own views and creeds, these OBJ
Jectors turn their eyes from the
rich, luscious fruit gatherd for the
Masters glory and honor; and
forbid these earnest toilers to con-
tinue longer.
Our Jealous, but misguided Sis
tiers and brethren, the fault-find-
ers, have evidently overlooked, or
forgotten this:
/ Luke 9:49-5O, "And John an.
swered and said, Master, we saw
one casting out devils in thv
name; and we forbad him. be-
cause he followed not with us.
And Jesus said unto him. For
bid him not; for he that is not
against us is for u.s."

do guard duty last year will refuse
this year. Reason--they do not
propose to act as guards. and then
pay taxes to hire subs for those
who would not, or did not, serve
That She feels that these few
remarks will not be popular with
a small coterie, but She don't care
a fig. a physician is just as
muchly obligated to DO his part
during quarantine, gratis, as any
other class OF citizen.
That She will call the cultured
attention OF our people to this one
po,oerfnI fact; in many instances,
those who appear the most solicit
tous about the safety of Shreve-
port, and are quickest to yell for a
quarantine; are sometimes 90, ho,o
does 1t happen) the one, who get
the most financial benefit from
that same quarantine.
That no one shsuld be surprised
or indignant when She says that it
is really amusing to hear some
say thai the quarantine OF last
year kept the yellow fever out Of
Shreveport. What part Of the
quarantine? Do not these persons
know that at times, there were
physicians put On trains as inspec-
tors; who had never seen case of
yello1v teuer IN all their liues?
That She believes there will be
a quarantine, if the alarmists (?)
can secure a proper hearing; so
She will offer this piece OF advice,
believing it will be carefully
weighed. In selecting physicians
as inspectors be careful to get
those who pay no taxes. It is ad-
vanced policy now to discourage
that class of citizens who own
their own homes. And in choos-
Ing men to do special guard duty ;
be as careful not to have one who
is foolish enough to own property
consider no application from any
man who does not drink and who
will not occasionally get drunk
and go to sleep On his watch.
And above all, avoid taking a
married man with a respectable
family. Shreveport must set her
foot down on moral standing. So

MADAM RUN0R SAY S

That She believes Louisiana
street gill be "nirely done before

That politics are getting to be
terribly ''konglomnorated in this

That Rev. w. II. LaPradc Jr.

That She hopes that all of Her

That Her editor "sho did kerr
flumix on his water millum rails

That no man can hope to be
elected to any Office who does not
announce his candidacy through
The Progress.
That She hopes it "haint sinful;
bat there is pleasures in seem 9TH

Uneasy, seat, sometimes.
That She has heard it said that
the block On Milan, between Mar
ket and Spring, called Doodle
belly and brains; in honor of the
banks, hotel and newspapers.
That Mr.. Pady, manager OF the
Cumberland tod phone) here
says Shreveport now has one Of
the best equipped telephone offices
in the United States, in his line.
That the free bridge and toll
bridge question has been entirely
lost sight of in the coming elect
ion for councilmen.--NIT!
That Mr.. Breazeale will have to
get some one besides Gold bug
Charley to be his wolly du sham,
if he expects the people Of the
fourth district TO seriously coDsid-
er his candidacy.
That there will be regular servi-
ces at Texas Avenue church to-
morrow night at s o'clock.
That The Progress has the class
of matter that takes with the peo-
pie; and the people take the paper
too.
That some of our politicians
think they have their fingers in the
peoples eyes-but they haven't.
That,She "zires" to know what
them hoo hoos' do with that chair
with the tin bottom and lamp be-
meath? O., s-ker-sh-ee! but don't
you know them tom cats dance a

That She thinks She has said
something on this subject before,
She will say again any way. An

That a locomotive on the midg-

That the city taxes proper are Is

rs 1T CURABLE!
A Question often Asked by Those
Afflicted with piles.

Is a strained joint durable? Is local in
aammation durable? OF course, if properly
treated So is piles.
People often become afflicted with piles
and ask some old "chronic" who has always
persisted in the wrong treatment and natur-
ally he discouTages them by telling them
that their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and thus
a disease that can in every case be cured by
careful and skillful handling is allowed to
sap the energy of thousands who might free
themselves OF the trouble in a few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most ag-
grayated case of hemorrhods in an astonish-
ingy short time. 1t relieves the congested
parts, reduces the tumors instantly no mat
ter how large, alays the inflammation and
stops the aching or itching at once.
Thousands who had resorted to expensive
surgical treatment have been cured by the
Pyramid Pile Cure-in number OF instances
persons whu had spent months in a hospital
under a pile specialist.
1t is a remedy that none need fear to apply
even TO the most aggravated, swollen and
inilamed hemmorrholdal tumOrs.

ease you can master 1t and master 1t quickly.

1t is suggested that the public should bear
in mind that a war chip is not easy to get

the divers work.

WASHINGTON, Feb 2S.-Sensational re-
ports having been circulated that Senator
Hanna had expressed the belief that con-
l!ct between the United States and Spain
was imminent, the attention of the senator
was called to them. He emphatically denied
them, saying. ~ do not believe there is any
thing in the Maine incident or in our rela-
tions to Spain regarding Cuba that will lead
to war / am firmly of the opinion that the
explosion on the Maine was due to accident
and l think that the naval court OF inquiry

And congress will do nothing"
"What is there for congress to do? There
is no information except a lot Of sensational
stories upon which to base all this talk
of war Even the secretary of the navy has
no information, and as long as the president
and the secretary of the navy and all the
rest of the cabinet keep cool and quiet there
is no need for the rest of the United States
to get alarmed.

reason for the excitement that is being
