1t is estimated that the death rate
in the prison pens is greater than
that in India during the epidemic
of cholera.
This country declared war against
Spain four years ago because of
Weyler's cruelty in Cuba. To-day
not even an expression Of sympathy
is uttered for the Beers. Not
word of encouragement is heard
from this government for the brave
men of South Africa.
But it must be remembered that
General Brooke said that the
English Kitchener, like the Ameri-
can Chaffee, is fighting for "God,
freedom and civilization" and, en-
PEASANT, let US recall the fact that
the other day in all the Christian
churches in England prayers were
said to invoke the aid Of the Al.
mighty to hasten the work OF
destruction in South Africa.
In the meantime the butchery
goes on in the name Of GOOD and
civilization

Indecency In Hyde Park

Hyde park is no longer available for
the use or delectation Of self respecting
people.
We have taken the pains to make a
personal study Of it, and at noon one day
we counted thirty-two cases of drunken
ness among women and forty-fve among
men, all of whom were lying upon the
grass, some only partially dressed, some
using fearful i~mprecations and obscene
language of the foulest kind. while others
were actually changing their underwear
in broad daylight. The lowest type of
niger" on the west coast Of Africa
would blush to act as they did, but Lon
don apparently must submit to such
grewsome exhibitions, for the metropoli-
tan police on duty in Hyde park has no
power to interfere with the type of saw
age who monopolizes and defles the fair
est Of our open spaces.-Saturday Re-

"They shall be mine in the day when 1
make up my Jewels"
what" say you. will God wear jew
elryT' If he wanted it, he could make
the stars of the heaven his belt and have
the evening cloud for the sandals of his
feet, but he does not want that adorn-
ment. He will not have that jewelry.
When God wants jewelry, he comes down
and digs it out of the depths and dark
ness of sin. These souls are all crystal
lizations Of mercy. He puts them on,
and he wears them in the presence of the
whole universe. He wears them on the
hand that was nailed, over the heart that
was pierced, on the temples that were
stung. "They shall be mine," saith the
Lord, Gin the day when I make up my
Jewels" Wonderful transformation!
Where sin abounded grace shall much
more abound. The carbon becomes the
solitaire. "The crystal cannot equal it"
Now, I have no liking for those people
who are always charging in Christian
meetings about their early dissipation.
Do not go into the particulars, my broth
ers. Simply say you were sick, but make
no display Of your ulcers. The chief
stock In trade Of some ministers and
Christian workers seems to be their early
crimes and designations. The number Of
pockets you picked and the number of
chickens you stole make very poor prayer
meeting rhetoric. Besides that, it dis
courages other Christian people who
never got drunk or stole anything. But it
is pleasant to know that those who were
farthest down have been brought highest
liberty. Out Of darkness into light.

The RIGHT THING TO PUT on.
(Ielsols Plaster Is PAINS Master)

From the natural impulse to ''put some
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Beason's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as n curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Bsnson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honorel with
fttY.fr2 highest awards.
For sale b. all druggists, or We will pre-
pay postage on any .!mher ordered in the
tuitel States Oh the receipt of Csc each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.
