If the Jews whose wonderful career

ExHes IN the laud Of the Modes

before WHOM the Jew Mordecai re
fused to offer homage, aud thereby

anger Of ner tyrannical lord, the
King Ahas aefas, and entered into

the symbol Of power toward the
queen. She touched It and made
knovn to him the plot Of Haman to
massacre her people. Then were
the tables turned, and Mordecai was
elevated to the position occupied by
Haman and Haman was hanged high
upon the gallows which he had
builded for Mordeoai, and the Jews
we're delivered again from their en-

Peter. in Augusta, and DR.. Landrum
took it up Simon Peter says: Broth
er Landrum is a very lovable man and
a very popular preacher, but IN his
sermon he is like a pig in china shop.
He used invectives and personalities
and took in atholics, Episcopalians,
Presbyteriars and Jews and stirred up
the town. He sent me note and two
OF his sermons. I replied that l was
running fire down at st. James and
had no time to look after his water
works, but when my revival closed l
would take him in out Of the wet and
hang him en- the fence tc dry, then set
him afire and take him into the Meth

with him, for he was great OF Eeart

the verse sent to me, but the following
IS in substance the same:
God made Adam out Of dust,
But in His wisdom made me first;
He made my body all complete,
Eut gave me neither hands nor feet,
No living soul in me did dwell,
Nor was | doomed to heaven or hell;
But later on old Adam came
And gave me what is still my name,
And later still God chose to give
a living soul in me to live,
In course of time He did reclaim
That soul and left me just the same
AS when first made-without a soul,
And now I roam from pole to pole,

vicious Humming Birds

In the island Of Minora, one Of the
Philippines, the humming birds are
pugnacious little creatures. A hunting
party had Il novel experience with
them. One of the huntsmen wandered
off from his comrades, but soon his
screams were heard. Thousands OF
the humming birds had attacked him
and wounded him in hundreds Of spots
on his face and neck. When rescued
he was streaming with blood.

in such cases is to substitute trial by

The Clash Averted.

Harrisburg, Pa. Special.--The e1-
pected clash between the union and
non-union miners in the Lykens Valley
region was averted by the strikers at
Lykens abandoning their proposed
mrch to Williamstown wednesday
night, to attempt to force the miners
there to quit work. The feeling be-
tween the Lykens and WilliamstoWn
miners Is SO litter that that the strike
leaders were induced by the borough
authorities of Lykens to persuade
their followers not to invade the terri
tory of the non-strikers.

MONROE Doctrine.

The position taken by the RepTbli-
can leaders. and more recently set
forth by the Republican candidate for
the presidency. viz: That we cannot
protect nation from outside !nterfer-
tnce without exercising sovereignty
over its people. IS an assault upon the
Monroe doctrine. for while this argu-
meYt is at this time directed agaiLst
the proposition to give to the Filipinos
both independence and prote,ti0n. il
is equally applicable to the republics
Of Central and South America. II this
government cannot lend its strength 10
another republic without making sub
ieCts Of its people, then We must
either withdraw our protection fron
the republics % the south OF us or ab-
sorb them Under the same plea, tina:
the guardian nation must exert an au-
thority equal to its responsibility. Eu-
Korean nations have for centuries eX-
plotted their wards. and it is signi
can't fact that the Republican party
sho@ld accept the European idea OF
prctectorate at the same time that /;
ADOPTS a European colonial policy.
There is no excuse for this abandon
ment Of the American idea. We have
maintained the Monroe doctrine fer
three-quarters Of century. The ey-
pense to us has been practically moth
ing. but the protection has besn bevond
value to our sister republics. II
Filipino republic is erected upon the
ruins of Spanish tyranny, its protec-
ton by us will be neither difficult nor
expensive.
EXTRAVAGANCE.
"rhe Republican party. drawing as
it does enormous campaign funds from
those who enjoy special privileges at
the hands of the government, is power
less to protect the tax payers from the
attack of those who profit by large ap-
preparations. A surplus in the Treas
ury offers constant temptation to eX-
.ravagance. and extravaganza in turn.
compeis a resort 10 new means CT taxa
ton, which. in Geirg kept in the back
ground until the campaign Is over. Is
a fair Illustration of the imposition
which will be attempted when there IS
considerable amount OF money idle
