but holds his companion back
with one grimy hand, scarcely
knowing why he does so; with
the other he grasps a huge club
that is to deal the fatal blow.
Suddenly, cleaving the nights
fragrant silence like the chime
of silver bells rings out
woman's voice in song:
There is a happy land.
Far, far away.
The sweet notes seem to fill
all space, they rise and fall in
echoes of melody; they strike
on one mans ears like a blow
from some avenging hand; and
seem to him the rebuke of one
to whom day and darkness are
alike and murder is hateful.
He throws an arm about his
companions neck, and covers
with his hand the mouth that
might speak words of surprise
OF anger. He is the stronger
and bis hold is firm. The club
drops from his hand, and the
mauIwho has been in imminent
danger drives slowly up the
long lane at home and hears
his little wife's pleased voice
calling to him in loving well
come.
He whose arm has been strick.
en- powerless by a song sits
modify by the roadside.
"What's the matter, mate?"
his companion asks; "why didn't
we hit him."
II couldn't" he bursts out
IAN I'll tell you why. Thirty
years ago l had a home and a
mother, and little baby sis
ter. My mother used to sing
the very piece that woman has
been singin all day, and I've
set in the foot of that old wood
Ell cradle many time and sung
my little sister to sleep with it,
| don't want to turn soft, but
they're all dead now-gone tt
the happy land-and I'm only a
vag."
He brushes his cheek silly
with his hand, and something
suspiciously like a sob stop!
his voice. His companion is 81
lent for a moment, then says:
| Its all right, pard; I'm glac
you didn't it, and l recken tn,
little woman's glad too. "-Bos

CRUSADE STARTED
Against Use Of Wine in the Launching Of
the BattIeshlp. .0hlO.
Special to the Leader.

Special to the Leader. }lpa
Columbus, April 1.-The success of
the Womens Christian Temperance
Union of the United States in prevent
ing the use of wine in the christening
of the battle ship Kentucky has EN-
boldened that organization to attempt
a similar success at the launching of
the battle ship Ohio. President Scott,
of the Union Iron Works, had it stipu-
lated in the contract that the con-
structing company was to have charge
of the launching ceremonies and to
prescribe the material to be used for
all purposes. This action relieved the
Governor of Ohio and the President OF
the United States from all responsible
ity. But it has not deferred the ladies.
During the week Mrs. Annie w.
Clark president of the Ohio w. G. L.
u, received a telegram from Mrs.
Sturtevant Peet, of San Francisco, ask
ing for her cooperation in the Danish
ing of wine from all of the ceremonies.
1t is the intention of the ladies of the
Ohio Society of California to serve 4
banquet to Mrs. Mckinley and the
wives of the cabinet officers during
their stay in San Francisco. Wine
will be one the menu. The California
w. c.. T. U. has taken up the fight
against this, and is enlisting the aid of
the state organization in this state 10
FLEA protest with the ladies of the Ohio
Society against the serving of wine.
Mrs. Mary l.. Mozart, the president
of the ladies branch, is, however, de
terminedly opposed to the temperance
workers. She asserts that the society
will give the visiting ladies the best
banquet that California can afford, and
that if the men have better time It
will be the ladies fault.
Il am in favor of wine,' said she,
my Secretary is in favor of wine, and
wine we will have"
Mrs. McKinleys views on this sub
ject are well known, but it is not {,
matter of general knowledge that she,
while Miss Ida Saxton, took promi-
nent part in the temperance crusade of
1873.

BRIGHT FUTURE
Is In Store for the Real South, Says Col.
'MOSby. tsts
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
New York, April LIN its forthcom-
inging issue, Leslies Weekly will print
paper by Colonel John s. Mosby, the
famous Confederate raider, on "The
Dawn of the Real South" in which he
says: -os
"The real South is just at its birth.
The growth of this child of the nation
may be gradual, but in the end the
South will be far richer and more pow
erful than the North. In the days to
come the South will become the domi-
nant section of the country.
Without the war of secession the
South could never have hoped to attain
the future that it now certain. Slav-
cry was great incubus, paralyzing
natural energy. BY abolishing this
wrong our war benefited every State
south of the Mason and Dixon line
The negroes are producing more as
freemen than they ever did as slaves,
and the great mass of the people are
vastly better off today than they were
under the ante-bellum system.
Socially as well as industrially, the
abolition of slavery was highly bene-
fetal in it's result to the masses for
slavery was great wrong and no COM
munity can exist in the highest state
of happiness when it's system is based
on a wrong.
There are the soundest reasons for
asserting that the negroes status is
bound to improve. While they are not
as near equality with the white people
as they were under the system Of slav-
cry they are certain to be absorbed by
immigration, and in this engulfment
they will disappear This is the natu-
raj and wisest solution of what we now
call the race problem
Richmond is the city most likely to
become in time the banking center and
commercial headquarters of the coun-
try, and therefore of the world. The
days of that famous old city as a politi-
cal capital are past, but it's career as
the central point of manufacture for
the whole South, and from there for
the world at large, is just beginning.
while great forces have been work
ing for the change industrially and So
cially the political change is hardly
less marked. 1t is well-nigh folly to-
| day to speak of the solid South That
by the way, was phrase of my own
| invention. When Hayes became the
Republican candidate for president,
urged lin letter, August, 1850 that ii
was better for some Southern men to
support him because, if he were elect
| ed, his administration must necessarily
rest on whatever supported it. 1t was
better for the Southern people to aivide
between the parties so that, no matter
which side won, there would be men
| friendly to Southern people who would
control its Southern policy. This con-
tention | fully realize today, and the
solid South belongs wholly to the po-
litical past"

MINISTER'S REPORT
viii Determine Action of United States in
Venezuelan Matter.

Special to the Leader.
Washington, d. c., April LIN order
to eXpediate the arrival of Minister
Loomis in this country Secretary Long
has instructed the Scorpion to convey
that diplomat to San Juan. where he
will take steamship for New York.
The report which Minister Loomis
will make to the State Department will
have much to do with the determina-
tion of the attitude of the United States
toward the South American republic
The Administration is deeply irritated
over Venezuelas conduct, and has con-
cluded that the time has arrived for
this government to assert itself and re-
quire respect and proper treatment for
American agents and American citi-
zens.
Minister Loomis's reports, while
showing a serious situation, are not
sufficiently clear for the authorities to
decide the course they shall pursue.
His withdrawal in itself is an indica-
tion of the displeasure of the United
States and Venezuela will undoubtedly
so receive it. Mr.. Loomis is heartily
sick of Caracas and would like to trans
fer to some other port, but thtre is no
vacancy for him, and he will probably
remain as the accredited representative
of the United States to Venezuela, even
though he may not return for some
time
Eenor Pulido, the Venezuelan Charge
d'Affaires, d sincerely regrets that any
differences should have arisen be-
tween the two Governments, and he is
energetically working to restore the
friendly relations that hitherto have
existed.
Secretary Long said tonight that
there is no present intention of sending
additional men of war to Venezuela.
No instructions on the subject. have
been sent to Rear Admiral Farquhar,
Commander-in-C Chief of the North At
lantic squadron.

THE TABLET OF LIFE
(Ptiala II LOmcda JRdm
The Scientific Discovery Of the Age
The Magic Key to the Mystery Of Life

From times immemCrial it has been
mans predominating ambition to pro-
long Life. But among the many bril-
liant minds, who have devoted their
lives to the fascinating subject, it was
left for the immortal Darwin to give
to the world, in his great theory of
Life. the fundamental principle upon
which to build all further research in
this direction. Following closely in
his footsteps came Prof. Dr.. Ludwig
Buechner, German scientist Of inter-
national renown with his remarkable
work entitled "Das Buch des Langen
Lebens" (the book on longevity. But
alas, like Darwin he too died, ere he
could reap the fruit of his wonderful
doctrine. Others however, equally
great, took up the interrupted thread
with the result that two famous Ger
man scientists, after years of expert
ments and research, have at last dis
covered the secret of Longevity, in the
shape of remarkable Vegetable Com
pound, which, if properly used, will
positively prolong Life. This new
remedy, appropriately named Long
ayita" (meaning Long Life has been
subjected to the most rigid tests at all
the leading clinics and hospitals
throughout Europe with marvellous re-
suits. Approaching the importance of
this discovery, we have acquired, at
enormous cost, the exclusive proprie-
tary right to this wonderful prepara-
tion, which has proved a blessing to
mankind. "Longavita" is the true
Tablet of Life, rejuvenator par ex-
cellence, embodying the veritable Sc
cret of longevity in a practical, feasi-
BILE form. 1t is the fountain of perpet-
ual youth, which it prolongs far be-
yopd its present limits, while retain
ing health in perfectly normal state.
"Uongavita" brightens the eye, stimu-
lates mental activity, gives elasticity
to the step, makes the face full, alb
sorbs wrinkles, cleanses the system,
purifes the skin, and is the only true
Ponce De Leon remedy for old and
young of both sexes. Endorsed by
Europe's leading physicians.
