CIVILIZED q WARFARE.

The more weread about civilized
warfare the more absurd and abso-
lutely humiliating the words be-
come. Civilized warfare? Let us
look at the examples. We see the
lSpaniards in Cuba carrying on a
civilized war by their system OF
"reconcentrados," we see the Brit
ish in South Africa burning houses
and fields, insulting women and
killing helpless babes, we see the
allied forces in China backing up
the claims of the Christian mis-
sionaries by pillage and loot and
rapine and murder. Civilized war
fare, the terms are opposites. No
matter how holy the cause, in war
fare itself there is no civilization.
So long as men have passions, so
long as men have greed, so long as
men have love of liberty, there will
be warfare, but it will never be
civilized. When the nations are
truly civilized, warfare will be i'm
possible. The guilty will be pun
ished, but there will be no war
wherein innocent and guilty must
suffer alike.
To our mind the oHenses of the
allied forces in China are COM
parably worse than the ofenses of
the Chinese, bad as they were.
The allied forces went to China
representing Christianity and de-
handing justice. II half the re-
ports of the outrag be
true, they have dealt out, not
justice, but revenge in its most
hideous form. Nothing has been
sacred from the ruthless desire for
plunder, no weakling has been
spared in the lust-for blood. The
nations will reap the whirlwind,
they have sown the seed of eter-
nal distrust and hatred, and some
day when the Chinese, with their
quick adaptability and keen sense
of imitation have risen to know
ledge of European systems and
means of warfare, the day of ret
ribution will come We are Glad
and proud that these charges of
ruthless destruction are not lodged
against Americans, we are glad
that an American officer had the
self-respect to object to a continu-
alton of these outrages even if his
note was undiplomatic and did
shock the delicate senslbilities of
the General who could look on all
these murders undisturbed.

A CHRISTMAS CUSTOM.

On Christmas Day we read,
"Tiny Tim" 1t is Christmas
custom in our family, one which for
| years has not been neglected and we
know that wherever any of us may
be on Christmas Day the well-worn
| pages of that beautiful story will
be read again. tits well-founded
belief of ours that no man canread
the tale of Scrooge and the Ghosts
of Christmas Past, Present and
Future, and of poor, but rich,
tsBob" Cratchit, and the Jolly
nephew, and little, loving "Tiny
Tim" and not be made better by it.
We trust that there are not many
in the world so utterly devoid of
the Christmas spirit as Scrooge is
pictured, but all of US can improve
on the Christmas Past, many of us
could do better during the Christ
mas Present, and as to the Christ
mas Future they, thank God, rest
entirely in our own hands. If we
will only open our hearts to the
lessons of the days past and tryto
improve the days present, the days
of the, future. will take care Of
themselves. There are still some
"Bob Cratchits" left in the world,
some merry, happy, true souls
whose spirit cannot be quelled
either by hardships or misfortunes
and who do more good in the world
than all the Scrooges it ever CON
tanned. There are still many Tiny
Tins, poor, frail, little bodies en-
casing perfect soul. And what
is better than all else, there are
still some days remaining in which
we may do good, still a time of
redemption for the deeds of the
days past, still an opportunity for
US to place some items to our credit
on the balance sheet of time.

A CHRISTMAS DINNER,
WTell all the folks

"Tell all the folks to come"
Such was the message we heard on
Christmas day. The man who
sent the word was loaded down
with things to eat, and he had so
much of the Christmas spirit shin
ing out of his eyes that it brighten
ed the whole room, and warmed
the cookies of your heart and made
you glad you were alive, and had
seen that jolly, merry, altogether
wholesome spirit cleaning from
those eyes which had seen more of
labor and hardship and self-denial
than they had of the costly joys of
life. We could imagine that din
ner party. The good wife brought
on the things herself and probably
the sisters and the other women of
the family joined in the cooking as
they most certainly did in the dish
washing, and the men folks sat in
the front room and played with
the children's new toys, and were
probably as much pleased with
them as the children themselves.
And there was hustle and expect
ancy when dinner was on and the
call came, "Come, sit down folks,
dinner is ready. And the busy
wife, anxious to show her thought
full care, added, .sMother you sit
here. !" 1t was the best dinner of
ali the year, not only in the good
things, but in the real dinner feel
ing that prevailed. There are two
ways of eating dinner, one is on
the same principal of that on
which the fireman stokes his en-
CINE, feeding coal into the vast pit
of a, stomach, that steam and en-
ergy may result. 1t IS a simple
business transaction, this kind OF a
dinner. 1t says all the time, $50
much food, SO much work. " But
the other dinner feeling is entirely
different. 1t is dinner for dinners
sake, and everything tasres twice
as good, and there is no hurry
about it and the sweet morsels

A TOAST.

Welcome is the stranger within
our gates, but thrice welcome are
the returning sons and daughters
who are gathered at the old home
place during the jolly Christmas
week. They have come from every
quarter, from schools and colleges,
from work in other localities and
from new little homes which they
have builded for themselves. But
none of them have forgotten the
old home, the place that is like no
other, and now it is our duty and
our pleasure to show them that the
old home has not forgotten them.
Nearly every man has had the ex-
perlence of returning to the old
home, how familiar it all looks and
how every improvement is noted
with delight, how the faces Of old
acquaintance appear as the faces
of bosom friends, how there is love
in the heart for every man just be-
cause he lives in the old home
town, and how much it means at
such a time to receive the glad
hand from those we knew in other
days. The absence may not have
been long one still it seems so to
the returning one; and he is CRATE.
full in his heart for every kind word
spoken and for every warm clasp
of the hand. 1t does not cost
much to show an interest in the
boys and girls returning, it is not
an expensive luxury, and theres is
no possible excuse for denying
yourself the investment of little
seed of kindness which will be re-
membered in after days. We can
see in the young people who are.
now preparing themselves at the
different schools Of learning, the
men and women who are to succeed
to our places, who are to become
the business men of Denison and
who are to preside over its homes.
They will be leaders in the com
munity, some of them, and upon
the warmth of the feeling now in
culcated in them for their native
town depends their affection for it
in after years. Then here is to the
returning ones, may they always
find welcome in the old home
place, may they return again and
again and finally may they rejoin
our ranks as good and helpful
citizens.

CANYONS OF ART.

We are fond of a good theatre,
we believe there are good and bad
in this line as there are in others.
There is good literature and bad
literature, there are good men and
bad men. Just now we are speak.
ing of the good theatre. But even
the good drama has its faults.
These faults have been carried
down from one stage generation to
another and they are therefore the
faults of no one in particular, but
have grown to be what one might
call sscanons'' of the art. For our
part we wish they would fire some
Of the old canons and get some
up-todate field pieces in their
stead. For instance it is a recog-
nized canon Of stage art that no
person residing in a smaller place
than New York or London knows
anything about the use of fork.
A person from the country going
to the city sees for the first time,
upholstered furniture, and cuspi-
doris and footstools, and if he does
not take the contents of the finger
bowl for lemonade, he is a very
bright countryman indeed Even
the much lauded "David Harum"
could not get away from these ac-
copied ideas, and the wise and
canny David is made to appear the
veriest fool when he attempts to
shine in society. Again when the
city cousin visits the farm he has
an ineradicable belief that eggs
grow on egg plants, that butter is
produced from buttercups, and he

Thomas Not Dead.

Last week the SENTINEL published
on what 1t supposed 70 be reliable au-
thority that Walter Collins had killed
Green Thomas 10 an alteration at
Little Texas A gentleman from
that neighborhood tells US, and we are
GLAD to state, that Mr.. Thomas did not
die from the effects Of his wounds and
that he is in a fair way for recovery.
The facts in the case come to Us q lit
tie mixed but 1t seems that in the trou-
BILE Mr.. Thomas hit the first blow,
whereupon Collins struck him over the
head with a hoe. Collins gave himself
up at once and is uowin jail at Carroll
Ion. The SENTINEL desires not to do
any one an injustice, and makes these
statements TO correct false impressions.

EDITOR SENTINEL.

EDITOR SENTINEL.
In the dawn Of christianity there pre-
sided ove the destinies OF Rome one
whose name has become a hiss and by
word, indicative Of all that Is cruel,
mean, vindictive and hateful--a name
which is familiar to sophomores and
against which that class usually vent
their wrath, for at that period or cou-
dition OF their life, boys wish TO vent
their rage against something and no
name seems TO be so appropriate as
that OF Caligula for said class Of boys,
just emerging from the non-Sophos 10
the sophos-moros condition of life.
Could Old Phi Sigma hall speak, her
tongue would become blistered ia re-
peating the nams OF this condemned
Caligula. The main or chief otfense
in the indictment against him is that
Of having the laws, which his subjects
were required TO obey aud observe, TO
be hung up so high on the walls Of his
halls Of justice That they could not be
read. These laws were 0 IN the walls,
could be seen there, but could not pc
read, yet the unfortunate subject was
expected to obey them or take the IN
certain consequences OF a violation of
them.
Should we today. or should our own
solons, hear some soph enter upon his
well trained, fully fedged condemna-
tion Of this unjust and cruel practice
of Caligula we would he classed as Ct
subjects to be organized into a mob,
and lack but little OF mourning the dis
pleasure of the anti-lynchers. We
would applaud to the echo this young
orator. What is sauce for the goose
should be sauce for the gander. We
have a faint recollection of a meeting
OF the Legislators at jackson, where
they remained in session until theil
business vas completed. The laws en-
acted by our legislature have not ap
peared ia pamphlet yet, nor have al
of them appeared published in The
newspapers, yet we are required tt
obey these laws, whereof we are ig
norant, without any fault CT our part
How does our position compare will

law but could not read 1t, whereas W
can neither see or read our laws passe,
by the recent legislature, but OF whicl
obedience is demanded? A fine sui

WAKE OPP
Act, Act in the Living Present, Let the
Dead Past Hurry Its Dead.

Grenada has need OF many things,
but the one great crying need, the ur-
gent, the fast multiplying and the hurt
ful need is better roads. There are
thoroughfares leading TO Grenada
which at times are utterly impossible
for loaded wagons, and owe these the
produce aud cotton MUST be brought
to town il it comes at all. From this
deplorable cause much Of oar best
trade is often diverted to other points
which are accessible by wagon roads.
We lose through bad roads. There
is no getting away from the fact. II

woman's nose, and the mar with eyes
with which to see cannot look around

Good roads will draw trade farther
than low prices and hold it through all
seasons and conditions. When a farm
or cannot go to one town on account OF
bad roads he will go to some other one
that he can reach. He has to go to
town, and the place with good roads
leading to it gets his trade.

something along this line. 1t is "a du-
ty we owe to the people who make this
