An old Latin saying, Laudant quOd
non Intelligent They praise what they
do not understand. was once illus
trated by an English tourist who hap
pened into the Lutheran church nj
Elsinore one Sunday morning. The
tourist did not know a word of the
Danish language, but he wrote, 'The
clergyman had 4 quiet earnestness Of
manner and n persuasive eloquence
that pleased and attracted. l admired
the discourse, although I did not I'M
derstand a word of it," The book from
which we have copied this illustration
of a common practice tells the follow
ing amusing story of a Dutch audience
listening to one of Shakspeare's plays:

Soon there were fifteen of them out in
the open, in the full sweep of the
American fire.
Some of them ran to head off the pig
and others pushed up behind to catch
him. The pig wheeled and lodged, and
the soldiers wheeled and lodged after
him. Their voices rose in chorus of
Spanish shouts. Up and down went
the pig; when a soldiers hands were
on him he would make a twist and
wriggle himself away.
Once he made a long straight run to-
ward the American lines; it did not
help him, for the soldiers were after
him. entirely unregarding the battle.
Some of them headed him off again.
and in another moment an athletic
young soldier had seized first his tail
and then his legs. Still another mo-
ment and the pig, firmly held, was on
his way back to the trenches, riding on
the shoulder Of this young man. his
forelegs gripped by one hand and his
hind legs by the other.
The soldiers resumed their places in
the trench; the one who had the pig
put him back into the matched roof
building, and presently returned to his
own place and took up his gun.
1t is safe to say that during the chase
of the pig no. American soldier who
saw the affair discharged his gun at
the coup. The Americans who saw it
were too full of admiration and aston
ishment to add to the dangers which
the audacious Spanirds We're under;
but thousands of Americans who could
not see the incident were blazing away
in that direction. and the Spaniards
who were chasing the pig must have
heard a great many bullets whistling
about their heads during their perform
ance.

Enclosure, set him free and scared him
almost TO death at the same time.
The Spanish soldiers ceased their fir

commotion among them. Presently

DISSERTATION OF CHuR. HES.

Private Robert H. Knight, of Compa-
ny y, Twelfth Infantry, in a letter from
Manila to friend in this country. writ
ing of the dissertation of churches by
American soldiers says:
ssThe worst of all is in the ruins OF the
Glladeloupe Church, in the vaults where
the deqld are buried. The volunteers
broke them open, pulled out the bodies,
broke open the coffiIs and robbed the
dead. You can see the skull where the
feet ought to be, and the ribs all mixed
up. One body lies half pulled ont of the
vault. and Just where the hands crossed
on the breast was all poked over, looking
for gold rings and crosses.

Perhaps the soldiers thought that as
their country had trodden the Declara-
tion of Independence under foot, it did
not expect them to reverence even the
church of God If we had a President
who stood for Liberty and justice instead
of "criminal aggression" we might cx-

mo crop report will be made out for
October as conditions will nave chang
ed but little from the Septcnibe~ re-
port. A final report of crop yields
will be made later. At this time it

true answers to some other enquiries.

be the basis. If you wish to answer

Please answer carefully the following
questions in words, especially the .ast
three:
Is there a decided tendency of the
farmers to raise their own meat?
Is the grade of cattle and hogs be
ing gradually improved?
If so, to what do you attribute the
cause?
Are farmers in more comfortable Gil

Is farming as profitable now as Their!

are paid nothing to advertise it, but we
desire to call the attention of all South

you have anything to sell, get an idea.
There is a feeling now dominant in the
South that we can do anything in Dixie.
Let that spirit grow and take possession
of the people, and we will do any and
all things here that men of brains, char
acter and muscle do anywhere. The best
way to push it onward is to buy what
IS made in the South and to make il
necessary to enlarge present factories
