EVANGELIST WHIPPED BULLY
Then Had Him on the Front Bench
at the Meeting That Night.

Baltimore Sun.
I A Methodist minister of this city
tells the following story about the
late Sam Rozel, the great Virginia
evangelist, who in his day was one
of the best known pulpit orators in
! the south.
"Sam Rozel was a very big man
and had wide reputation for physi-
cal strength. In his college days he
came off the field of combat, usually
circumscrbed and secluded area of
the campus, wearing the laurel Of
victory on many occasions, and after
he became a preacher stories OF his
physical prowess were spread far and
near.
Zone day he went to village to
hold a protracted meeting. The vii
lage blacksmith, who was very big
man. and who was recognized, spe-
cially among the tavern habitues, as
pugilislic wonder, heard about the
coming of Rozel, and tn villagers did
not fail to tell him all they had heard
about the size of the parsons arm and
the length of his legs, and Of the COR
vincing way he had of closing an ar
gu1nent with his fists.
"All this nettled the smith consider
ably. so when Rozel reached the town
he sought him and asked him to
fight
"Rozel, of course, said he did not
want to fight; but the smith kept on
insisting and finally Rozel became an
CRY and agreed to crafty the fellow.
"They fought. Rozel literally
wiped up the ground with the big
man. When he had pounded him
until the poor, vanquished bully wss
gasping hard Rozel pic1-ed him up and
threw him over the fence.
"The blacksmith had not said a
word since the affray began up to this
point AS he rolled over on the other
side of the fence, however, he called
out:
Say, parson, kindly throw my
horse over too, I'm going away.
"But Rozel followed the man to
his home, and had him sitting on a
front bench at the meeting that same
night singing louder than any one
else"

IMMIGRANTS OF LUZON.
A Poor Mountain People That Ap-
pear Happy and Contented.

Spiri, ii Missions.
The Igorrotes live in small huts.
built in clusters on the slopes OF the
mountains where they can get the
sun and are sheltered from the cold
winds. For though we are not far
from the equator. we are 5000 feet
above the sea So We know what it
is - be cold. The heat OF the trop-
ical sun at midday is very grateful af-
ter the cold night and the accom-
panying Jog.
The children go to school with the
babies tied on their backs. But they
have little sisters at home, too small
to work in the fields; these will look
after the babies It is NOT considered
necessary that the women and girls
should be educated: they are to do
the hard work in the fields. The
babies are always carried on the
backs OF the mothers while they
work or on the back of an older child.
1t is really wonderful how these
people can go about in the cold OF
these mountains absolutely naked.
We, withour clothes on, feeling cold,
realize that they do feel the cold, but
have no clothes no- anything to make
clothes Of All they have is coarse
cotton cloth made in various bright
colors by the Hocanos of the lowlands,
for which they exchange their camo-
tes (sweet potatoes) and coffee. The
men invariably carry bandala of
this cloth, which they wrap around
themselves when not exercising, like
a toga.
Irrogote houses are built of split
logs and grass. For warmth and
cooking a fire is built in the middle
of the house on the dirt floor At
night all the family lie around it to
sleep, and from time to time one or
another gets up to replenish the fire.
There is no chimney and the smoke
escapes as best it can through hole
in the roof.
In consequence of this many lrro-
gotes have badly infamed eyes much
OF the time. and their hair and skin
become filled with SCOT. The women
and girls, with their long hair, suffer
especially. Rice and corn hang on
roof beams of the house to dry, and
become perfectly black and filled with
SCOT.
With all the seeming hardships OF
these children of the mountains, they
are very contented and happy lot,
much more so, fear, than many who
have everything they want. Such
things as toys are unknown to them.
The boys, however, make tops and
are skillful in spinning them, with
banana fiber for string. The wo-
men and girls all carry musical in
strument made of a piece Of bamboo
which has one end split; this end they
hit against the palm of the hand, the
other end has holes in it, over which
they place the fingers to vary the
sounds. 1t is crude and weird mus
ic, but they are happy with it, and
at times it does sound cheerful. One
cannot help but love these people, in
spite of their filth and vermin.
Mr.. Staunton has school in the viii
lage of La Trinidad. three miles from
our house, attended by about fifty llo-
canoes and Igorrotes, of all sizes and
ages, from babies to young men and
women. He holds the school in a
house put up for saloon when the
American soldiers were in La Trini-
dad.
