length final blow struck the furious
snake-crocodile fairly on the neck and
it fell dead. With great difficulty the
brave fellow towed it by the tail
through the mud into the water and
brought it out to the canoe, when.
with good deal of trouble, we got it
aboard. 1t was so heavy that it near
ly bore down under the water the gun
vale of the boat on the side where
we placed it.
Its length was between nine feet
and ten feet. This / Wv from the
fact that the body alone I .sted on at
least two thwarts of the boat. The
long, flexible neck and head fell upon
the bottom of the craft. They were
much cut about from the blows of the
sword; but popularity that l no

deep gashes, the flesh exposed was ali
white, like the flesh of a fish; there
was no blood flowing from any of the
wounds. In addition to the cuts upon
the neck, the Malay had also nearly
severed one of the fore paws of the
weird creature. 1t was in consequence
almost too much destroyed for preser-
walton.
However, l insisted upon the mems
carrying the carcass along with us un-

but at length, chiefly owing to the nu-
merous cuts upon it, it became so de-
composed and offensive that we hac

Through the dread lane they sped,
Through the Two Hundred.
Forward, the Kiss Brigade!"
Was there a girl dismayed?
Not though the soldier gasped,
Trembled and wondered;
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to kiss and die;
Bravely they charged on him,
Charged the Two Hundred.
Kisses to right of him,
Kisses TO left of him,
Kisses in front of him,
Onward he blundered.
Stormed at by Hawkeye bell
Never a breathing spell
Blindly he tore his way
Down through the line, pell NELL,
Through the Two Hundred.
When can their glory fade?

All the world wondered.

build house and another is trying to
sell his for less than it cost to build it..
One man is spending all be can make
in taking girl to the theater and
sending her flowers in the hope of max
ing her his wife, while neighbor is
getting a divorce. One man escapes
the diseases flesh is heir to and gets
killed on the railroad. Another escapes
with only scratch and dies with the
whooping cough, One man stands off
his creditors and goes travelling to the
springs, while another stays at home
and pays his debts.

Not Sentiment Alone.

There are members of our order who
seem to have the idea that business
methods and common sense principles
should have no place in fraternal
beneficiary organization, but that, on
the contrary, the fraternal spirit should
alone have full sweep, and should alone
be brought into requisition. 1t is
rather strange that these members
should place such faith in sentiment
and none whatever in practical exer-
ton, when these same men would never
for moment suppose that the church
they are connected with could live on
sentiment alone. They know very well
that it takes a deal of hard work and a
large amount OF money to run a church,
and that where the hard work and
money are lacking, all the sentiment
in the world Will not save a church
from decay and death-Ex.
