MEHoDIsT1 AND BAPTIsrs.

Two Sunday School Associations Held
in This City Sunday.
sunday afternoon in Monumental
Church the Methodist Sunday School
association met in regular meeting
The inclemency of the weather inter
fered materially with the attendance,
In consequence of which the matter of
q revision of the bylaws was contin-
ued until the May meeting.
The program rendered was excellent,
consisting of vocal solos by Miss Full
lord and Mr.. ]. e. Dunbar and recita-
tions by Misses Nina Watson and Es-

indeed.
The banners for the month were

The next meeting of the association.
on the fourth Sunday in April, will be

the following being the suggestions the
committee will make when the time ar
rives to take the matter up:
The new bylaws provide for presi-
dent and secretary and as many vice
presidents as there are schools in the
association, the superintendent of each
school to be a vice-president OF the as

Mr. Moore made statement OF how

Mr.. Moore said he saw man come

fires of her fever, and reduced the an
CRY swellings of her tortured body.
He gave her medicines which took away
her delirium and with words of wis
dom helped her bear the heavy burden
Of her bereavement when she had re-
covered enough to realize her loss.
For years he had objected to being
photographed, and when I asked him
if might make his picture, he quietly
reminded me that was white medi-
cine man, brother tingaivash, and he
wished to ask me on my honor, as one
tingaivash of another, whether the
camera would do him any injury. as
sured him on my tingaivash honor,
that it would not, and accordingly I
was privileged to make the accompany
ing photograph. Strange to say, three
months after my visit, the poor old fell
low succumbed to the great and last
foe and passed into the beyond. If he
had any lingering doubts that my max
ing of his picture had anything to do
with his demise, hope he is now as
sured to the contrary.
Now Torrebio was an intelligent OBJ
server of cause and effect. At Ca
hula there is sulphur spring of warm
water. He learned that in skin and
rheumatic diseases that water had
marvellous curative properties and that
the mud, in sores or scrofulous humors,
was equally beneficial. He knew the
properties of many herbs, both as tine
lures and poultices, and used them to
advantage. Yet he used the necromantic
arts of lamentations to help on in his
cures. Whether he believed in these or
not, I am unable to say, but he knew
full well that the patients did. and that
they would not consider themselves

partisan factions. The people, al
though patriotic and ready to make
substantial sacrifices for the glory of
their country, were not prepared for
the heavy burden of taxation laid
upon them for the support of gigan-
tic army and the construction and
maintenance of a mighty navy. The
ambition, nursed by the king and pro-
claimed by his advisers, to have Italy
take place among the great powers
weakened the government at home
and repeatedly led to riots in various
parts of the kingdom. The common
people did not care to contribute
everything they could earn to the
military oligarchy at Rome; and So
cialistic and anarchistic agitators. TAX
ing advantage of the almost universal
epirit of discomfort, had no trouble in
existing thousands of enthusiastic
followers in the cities of northern
Italy and the manufacturing districts
of Naples and Sicily.
When Humbert assembled the throne
It was hoped that he would institute
far-reaching army reforms, that he
would endeavor to revive the decay
ing commercial interests and lay the
foundation of genuine national pros
perity. These hopes were never real
lied. Instead of breaking away from
the Dreibund, that famous but inan-
cially ruinous offensive and defensive
alliance between Germany, Austria
Hungary and Italy, he became its
most ardent supporter. From year to
year the national debt increased, cor
ruption permeated the highest official
circles, and on top of all came the dis
astrous defeat of the Italian troops in
Africa by the irregulars of King
Menelik of Abyssinia. Outwardly the
Italian government maintained, to use
a colloquial phrase, ga stiff upper ip;''
but even the most ardent admirers of
royalty admitted several years ago
that the days of the house of Savoy
were numbered.
The villain who assassinated King
Humbert represented nothing more
than a band of international outlaws,
set his deed would have seemed more
horrible to the people of Italy had
they not been prepared for such a
catastrophe by decades of financial OPP
preston and injustice. Instead of di-
viding the burdens of taxation equally

GLARED ANGRILY AT EACH OTHER
each others necks and wept. The rec
ords destroyed, how could they con.
tinue the game?
George Flint telegraphed at once to
Tolliver Enraughty, of Enraughty &
Carter, esquires, of Richmond, who soon
appeared in the city with a parcel
the two packages containing the
hands over which so many thousand
bets had been made. Solemnly, as it
at the reading of will, the packages
were opened. Each was marked on
the outer covering with the name of
its holder.
"This was my grandfather's," said
Oxheart, with a culver in his voice.
'.My grandfather held this" said
Flint, softly, caressingly.
The lawyer went on with his work
in silence. It was almost like unroll-
ing a mummy to take off one by one
the many envelopes in which these
hands were wrapped. At last Mr.. En-
raughty stopped and read from the
envelope unopened in his hand:
81 do not know which of these
hands belonged to which of those
fools, so L have marked this one for
Flint, and the other for Oxheart. Dor
sey Carter" and then followed the
date, that of the second meeting Of
the original players. The two grand
sons looked at each other silently,
then they both said: 60 on"
In the other package Mr.. Enraughty
found similar note.
Gentlemen" he said, ''shan open
the last envelopes?"
NO." said both Flint III. and Ok
heart III. together. The lawyer held
the two envelopes in the fire until
they were destroyed.

among all classes, the very poor have
been compelled to contribute more
than so per cent. of the nations in
come. Young men emigrated and those
who could not leave half starved and
identified themselves with revolution
airy organizations. The kings advisers,
instead of ameIiorating the condition
of the peasantry and working classes,
sought to suppress the growing dis
satisfaction by the enactment of severe
laws against republican agitation.
Personally, Humbert was a most
lovable man. In his private capacity
he was ever ready to help the needy
and lift up the fallen. He loved his
people and honored himself by honor
ing their independence. When the pest
invaded his kingdom few years ago
he visited the hospitals and comforted
the sick. During all of his reign he
never attempted to suspend the con-
stitutional rights of the voters, al
though repeatedly urged to do 20 by

suits his methods to the mentality and
needs of his clientage. Most, if not all.
Indians are firm believers in witch
craft, necromancy and the evil pow
ers of the spirits of darkness. They
believe in spells and charms and all
the wild mysticism of the southern ne
gro. Any system of medicine, there
fore, that is to be efficacious to the In
dian must satisfy his mind in these
particulars. An Indian shaman must
De able to work charms that will keep
off the evils of the witches; he must
make fetishes that prevent the power
IF the evil eye; he must be able to con-
iure good spirits to overcome evil ones.
and he will succeed the best who can
pest excite the fears, hopes and SYM
pathies of his patients. If he be
skilled thaumaturgist, all the better.
If he have the gift of looking wise and
keeping silent, better still. If to these
things he adds real, even though rude,
knowledge of surgery, pathology and
the action of certain drugs and min
erals he is bound to be leader among
the medicine men of his tribe.
Perhaps of all known medicine men
in North America the Navajos and
Apaches are the leaders and the most

hospitals of the world, several of which

little flower, little flower blest with beauty
thy dover,
Sending fragrant incense heavenward in
the quiet twilight hour,
Full of tender fragile grace. sweet of odor
and of face.
Like morsel of Heavens purity set in an
earthly place,
We poor mortals much may learn from the
tints which glow and burn,
In thy petalled altar kindled, as within a
sacred urn,
For they speak of good and God. prints of
beauty on the sod,
Marking with Heavens light and color
where His kindly footsteps trod.
How thy willing heart distills scent the
world with fragrance fills,
Though eye but Gods may see thee In
the fastnesS of thy hills;
Or In some neglected glen hidden from the
eyes of men,
But thy worship is but sweeter and COM
pleter offered then.
Modest, beautiful and shy, often born to
blush and die,
Or in crushed and bruised fOrgetfulneSS I'M
needed there to lie,
Never murmur or complaint though thy
fragrant breath grow faint,
But mOuTnful resignation as becomes an
humble saint.
All the hills are diademed, all the wales and
forests gemmed,
All the meadows with thy beauty well
adorned and widely hemmed,
Thou a thing of heavenly birth springfng
upward from the earth,
Where thy gentle smile illumeS its ills and
mitigates its dearth.
Much may mortals learn from thee of what
Is and is to be,
If the eyes rightly focused by a spirit
trained to see;
May be angels too may know every flower
which blOomed below,
That they rim the crystal rivers which by
heavenly mansions flow.
