more horses could be gotten The
captain used to tell u good story Of the
days when he was stationed up in the
Dskotas. A stage had been robbed oil
three gold bricks snd the captain with
mounted squad was sent to capture

miles back WHERE he had camped for
the night.
His story was given little credence,

compelled to so with the squad.
About two hours afterward another
horseman riding furiousiy approached.
Not recognizing the part as soldiers, as
they were dressed as civilians, he un-
hrsitatingly asked If any one had
found bar of brass along the trail
He was promptly advised tina, the brass
had been found and that in him anoth-

place where he had camped and the
hole made in the ground by the gold
brick when it dropped from. the saddle
bags of the robbers. All three gold
bricks were found, restored to the
government. and two stage robbers
were entertained at a necktie party
shortly afterward.

CHILDREN AT THE SONG FEST.
Ono of the Most Pleasing Features
of the National SaenSerfest
mt ST. Louis.

St. Louis, June 21.-One of the most
pleasing features of the thirty-first
national saengerfest was the work of
the school children at the matinee
concert Friday. a writer in the
Globe-Democrat thus describes their
singing:
And now the children began to
sing. First The Heavens Are Telling
(Beethoyeu), with which they brack-
eted the wondrousiy sweet lullaby of
Johannes Brahms. Such clarity of
intonation as the little ones gave the
Beethoven number, such certainty of
attack at first nonplused and then
enthused the members of the Thomas
orchestra-pretty good judges, by the
way-and when the children hpmmed
instead of singing the last verse of
the lullaby there was many violin
ist, many 'cellist who was not earn
ing his salary in the amaZement with
which he watched the little ones who,
with delieately closed mouths, gave
forth such beauteous music.
with Pinsuti's delicate .Mignon-
ette' and Taubert's dashing 'Postil-
lion it was the same. The effect was
excellent. and if any one should now
raise the academic question: What
has the saengerfest done for music?
the answer would be: 1t has ac-
quainted an audience of 1900 people
with the possibilities of children's
singing The little ones sang under
the direction of Prof. William H.
Pommer."

To Prevent Sale Of Poisonous DRUG

l o prevent Sale OF Poisonous Drugs.
Attorney General Murphy calls at
tention to an act of the last general
assembly, the intent of which is to
stop the spread of the destructive hab-

the lower class of whites. The use
OF this drug was almost unknown "A

bered by the thousands. Its effects
are as baneful as opium or morphine.
and soon wrecks the unfortunate who
becomes addicted to its use, both phys.
ieaily and mentally Col. Murphy
holds that under the law a physician
has no right to give a standing order
for the sale of cocaine whenever the
party TO whom the order is given
wishes it, nor has any druggist any
right TO repeat such order or to fill
II more than once The object of the
law is to prevent those who are ad-
dicted to the drug. or anyone else,
from obtaining it except when it is
really needed. In order that its sale
may be justified it is necessary that
the prescription be given on the physi-
clans estimate of the need of the
patient at the time he prescribes. Who
ever fills such an order or prescription
for the same person more than once
contrayenes the spirit of the law and
renders himself subject to punish
ment. Members of the State Pharma-
cists' Association propose to use their
efforts to stop the sale of the deadly
drug.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
Seventy-Eighth Annual Report of
the American Tract Society
Made Public.
WORK IN ALL QUARTERS OF THE GLOBE.
An Aggregate Circulation of Period
fcRls During the Past Yenr of B.
O0c.OOO COpies-The Work of Col
pOrteurs and Gratuitous Distrib-
utOrs.

New York, June 2i.-1he annual re-
port of the American tract society is
made public, and states that in this
society consensus has been reached
as to what the Bible teaches on many.
If not all, essential points, as held in
common by the evangelical denomina-
tions, in printing it in various forms
and many languages and in sending
it to the people in all quarters of the
globe. The new year begins with a
revenue from rentals from the socie-
tvs building which will yield con-
siderabl sum available as sinking
fund toward removing the bureau of
debt.
The new publications. distinct from
periodicals, brought out by the So
ciety during the year are s5 in num-
ber. or these Sc were volumes and
30 tracts.
The society is now publishing seven
periodicals-four in English, two III
German and one in Spanish.
The aggregate circulation of these
periodicals during the year has been
3,09o,0 900. Missionary colportage finds
among the immigrants anarchistic
organizations infidel literature hostile
to Christianity and grossly immoral,
and cateehisms for the young. Col
portage among the immigrants in cit
les has been diligently prosecuted.
The Gospel truth has been printed in
155 languages or dialects, and the
colporteurs and gratutous distrib-
utors scatter it far and wide among
the people. The demand for Christian
literature in the mission stations
throughout the world is greater than
it has been for three quarters of a
century. On the Pacific coast col
portage has a peculiar power in the
families, where church going and
sabbath keeping are less than in most
states.
Over 1,500 missionary colporteurs
have been commissioned in the more
than 60 years of the society's activity
in the Mississippi valley to carry the
Gospel to the homes of the settlers in
the widest regions of our country.
Out of 70,730 families, $50 were found
last year destitute of the Bible, and
1870 were found that never went to
religious worship. Over 25o.0oo dol
lars in cash have been sent to India
for printing the Gospel in many of
the varied languages.
The whole number of publications
approved for circulation at the socie-
tvs expense is 5,013. including 972
volumes; and the society and the in
stitutions il thus aids have issued
publications in l55 languages and dia-
lects.
The society has expended in its II
years in creating a Christian litera-
ture for Turkey, including the Ar
menans and Jews, and for Greece,
