citation was held. Among the speakers
were Congressman Allen, who said: ~
heard your chairman say that your
latchstring was hung out twen-
ty years ago. My impression is
that it took ten years for me
to find it out. My understanding was
that I was not to make : eech. l
thought l was an immune, but 6nd my
self in company with General Eagan-
that have broken into trouble. un-
derstand why Mr.. Burton was brought
here-ou want your harbor deepen
ed. You have Mercer because you
want new custom house. Your chair
man said you want the best dollar. l
guess l was brought here to give you
the best dollar.
From the remarks of your principal
speaker, Senator Wellington, l take ii
that he is not altogether pleased with
the international real estate deal. IL
my early life I was brought uD where
individuals were sold for 81 900 apiece,
and out of this deal we are getting
them for 50 piece. 1 want to say for
Senator Wellington, seriously, that
when be made his speech in the Senate
fear that the future will demonstrate
that he was right.
"When Dave Mercer builds you a
new custom house and Burton deepens
your harbor l promise you that l will
vote for both propositions or 60 out Of
the House"

A Plucky Priest.

Father Rousselet is as plucky a
man as they make EN-" was the eu-
logy passed by an officer Of the Eng
lish army on a French missionary la
boring among the savages of Africa
The officer is not alone in his admira-
ton of Father Rousselet, as our for
eign exchanges testify. A federation
Of barbarous negroes, the Eku-M ekr,
whose occuption was the purveYing of
human victims for sacrifices, was
known to be making a descent on Is
sele, a large town where Father Rous-
selet was staying. While most of the
other inhabitants fed, the priest, deaf
to all persuasion of friends, not only
refused TO escape, but went out alone
to face the ferocious brutes They told
him they. had come to kill him and de-
stroy the mission. Father Rousselet
calmly defied them. saying that his
God was stronger than theirs, and
