There Is much being published now
in the press OF nearly every section of
the United States i'll reference to the
subject of lynch law. Every good cit
izcn regrets the necessity of such oc-
currenccs, and many suggestions are
being made rs to II remedy to cure the
evil. So long as the infamous crime of
outrage is committed upon the women
of the country, just so long will the
lynching of the perpetrators continue.
This fact may as we'll be understood
first rs last. The white men of the
country are not going to permit these
crimes to go unpunishcd, and the
sooner colOred men understand this
tho better it will be for them. There
is no use in mincing words about it.
Human nature is the same all over the
land, and wherever these outrages are
committed, no matter whether they be

There must be some truth in the
statements made time and time again
that Mt one period of the fighting at
Manila there came very near being Il
clash between Germany and the United
States, and that even now the rcla-
ti0ns of these two powers arc not very
cordial. First came the dispatches
from Manila which were covered up :,s
far rs possible by the government at
Washington. Then came the C0ghan
incident. Now comes the statement of
Admiral Dewey that our next war will
be with Germany, and although many
say that Dewey did not utter the words
attributed to him. there are many who
believe he did. Where there is so
much snake there must be Il little fire.

The Cavalry Horse.

A veteran cavalry horse partakes of
the hopes and fears of battle just the
same as his rider. AS the column
swings into line and waits the horse
grows nervous over the waiting. If
the wait is spun out, he will tremble
and sweat and grow apprehensive. If
he has been six months in service, he
knows every bugle call. AS the call
comes to advance the rider can feel
him working at the bit with his tongue
to get it between his teeth. As he
moves out he will either seek to get on
faster than he should or bolt He can
not bolt, however. The lines will car
~ him forward, and after minute he
will grip, lay back his ears, and one
can feel his sudden resolve to brave the
worst and have done with it as soon as
possible. A man seldom cries out
when hit in the turmoil of battle. It
is the same with a horse.-Buffalo

Three Bites nv a. Shark.

J. Morris and Loren Hill relate a pc
culiar experience with a tarpon and an
immense shark near Punta Gorda.
While they were playing large tarpon
shark came up and bit half moon
weighing about ten pounds out of the
tarpon's belly. This killed the tarpon,
but before it could be gated and pull
ed in the shark. took out another half
moon a size larger. AS they were
hauling the tarpon aboard the shark
bit off the tail, equaling one-third the
length and about one-fourth the weight
Of the fish. The part that was left over
weighed 1874 pounds. They beat the
shark over the head with the oars.
The fish would have been record
breaker and would have weighed about
22O pounds. The scales were preserv-
ed and measured 311a by AZ inches.

AN EFFECTIVE SERMON.
A Trumpet Blast That Drove the PeO-
pie to Repentance.

A Trumpet Blast That Drove the Peo-
pie to Repentance.
A prominent Methodist churchman
recently told the following story of old
Peter Cartwright, the famous preacher
and circuit rider of many years ago:
The exhorter was holding a camp
meeting in Ohio. There was a great
number Of campers on the field, and
the eccentric speaker addressed vast
concourses at every service, but he
thought too few were being converted.
He felt that something should be done
to stir the sinners to repentance, so
he prepared a strong sermon on the
second coming Of Christ. He told how
the world would go on in it's sin and
wickedness, and at last Gabriel would
sound his trumpet and time would
horrors of the lost and the joys of
those who were saved. The sermon
grew in intensity, and he brought his
people up to a grand climax when sud-
denly the sound of trumpet smote
the ears of the anxious throng.
There was a great sensation, and
many fell upon their knees in terror
and began to repent and pray. Women
screamed and strong men groaned;
pandemonium was let loose for a few
minutes After the terror had some
what ceased the preacher called to a
man up a tree and he descended with
a long tin horn in his hand. The
speaker then turned In fierce wrath
and upbraided the people. He cried
out in stentorian tones that if man
with tin horn up a tree could
brighten them so, how would it be in
the last great end when GabriePs
trumpet sounded the knell Of the
world. The sermon had a great effect
upon the vast audience, and many
hundreds foeked to the front and were
converted.-New York Tribune.

WHEN MEN MISS SUCCESS.
5ld1enessa sind Incompetency Keep the
Ruaiueaa NnHf a.s. aIlr,xx,.ra

$ld1enessa nd IncOmpetency Keep the
Rusiness Novice Down.
Walter q. 'hillips, the founder Of the
national newspaper corporation known
as the United Press, and the inventor
Of Phil -ps, telegraphic code, typical,
energetic American, who has put many
young in the news gathering bust
ness, believes that the cause Of failure
everywhere among young business be-
ginners lies in incompetence.
Nlne-tenths of the young men who
Ire struggling for name and place in
the world are untitled for the callings
they have picked QUITO themselves. Be
sides an unlimited supply of energy
md whole heartedness in the work be-
fore him, the successful man Of the
future must know his business from
A to q.
The next great drawback to success
is idleness. Nothing worth while is
accomplished without work, and plenty
of it. Things do not happen without
"a cause, and behind every great life
there are years Of concentrated energy
and tireless industry. Idleness will
make any man a failure; intelligent
work will land any man among the
successful. It is all so simple and SO
trite that one hesitates to put the fact
down in cold blood, and yet how few
men recognize, or, recognizing, live up
to the axiom that labor conquers all
things.
Idleness and the consciousness of in
competency should make any man
ashamed of himself and drive him to
do something that is worth the doing.
It is within the grasp of every one to
learn some one thing that will yield
both pleasure and profit. Success
comes only to those who seek it.
The young man who is/really in
earnest will not have to be advised
how to succeed. He may learn much
by studying the failures of others, how
ever, and he will always find, after a
survey of the great legion of the IN
successful, that two causes have
brought them to their present misery
-idleness and .incompetency-Satu

a STICK WITH a STORY.
The Odd ONCE Which It Performea
IN I. GamblifAx Den.

The Odd ONCE which It PerfOrmoA
In q GambIihE Den.
There's an odd little story connect
et with this old cane, said a New
Orleans sporting man the other day.
You will observe how heavy it is and
how the ferrule comes down to a sharp.
point. It used to be carried by an old
chap who was a well known character
here back in the seventies. He had an
interest in very crooked gambling
house. won't hurt anybody's feel
ings by mentioning the exact location,
but it was saying that you might as
well slide your money under the door
and walk off. It saved time.
This old fellow I'm speaking Of
never operated any Of the games, but
was apparently mere spectator. His
known technically as Knockers A
knocker was anybody who attempted
to put victim on his guard, usually q
well meaning but ohcious friend. For
example, visitor would be playing at
one Of the games and his friend, look
ing on, would smell rat. AS rule
he would feel it his duty to say some
thing, and such suggestions were nat
urally resented by the house.
when the old man. would see q
knocker about to knock he would
hobble up, leaning heavily on his cane,
and plant the ferrule, as if by acci-
dent, squarely on the offenders foot.
Such prod would cause the victim
excruciating agony, and he would i'm
mediately lose all interest in exposing
fraud. While he was writing and
grooming the old fellow would over
whelm him with apologies and insist
upon his coming into the back room
to get a drink. Meantime the other
chap would be losing his money as fast
as he could get it out.
'"There's no telling how much
plumber this stick has been the means
of securing. Its original owner has
been dead these many years, and
keep it as a curiosity."- Orleans
Times-Democrat.
