Cannibalism is the greatest incentive
to murder: as is shown by one of the
laws of the N'Sacklaws, which is to the
effect that any man guilty of killing a
free man or conspiring to kill him for
eating purposes, or partaking OF his
flesh, may be killed by the relatives OF
the murdered man and his flesh sold to
pay damages. There are hundreds OF
black traders who carry on the traffic
of buying slaves from one tribe and
taking them to another to sell them as
well-fed stock. 1 have known these un-
fortunates TO be penned up and fed
like hogs for the market. I once lio-
Grated three who were fattening for
the Dodo or light of the moon dance,
ar all-night festivity which is held in
celebration OF the moons greatest bril-
hancy. 1 could not discover that these
slaves were more miserable than other
men condemned to die under civilized
conditions. The fact of being eaten
does not in itself add new horrors in
their minds They are often sold and
resold for this purpose, always know
ing their fate, and uncertain how near
or how distant the end may be, yet
they are not in the least overcome by
fear.
The thrifty Banzirri at one time
marched good live fat slave through
the M'Brue's village and sold him piece
by piece, marking him off with pre-
cision as they sold him. The under
standing was that if they sold enough
OF him they would kill him. / was in
q M'Bumu village once when the Bun
zini brought in Tockbo slave there
and We're selling him piece by piece,
a leg to one person, thigh to another
! asked them if they had him all sold;
they said, Nearly" When I offered
to buy him outright they told me they
made much more selling him piecemeal
than in the bulk. This is the native
way of trading. If native has

To Patrons of Rural Routes.

There seems to be a disposition on
the part of some of the patrons of
these routes to make it as incon-
venient for the carriers as they can
in the way of placing their boxes.
The rules of the department are pos
tive in this matter and require the
boxes 10 be A. feet high and so that
they can be served without the car
rier having to get out of bis con-
veyance to place your mail in the
box. 1t seems to me that this is
not asking too much of the patron,
and | am sure that there would be
no trouble on this score If you
would stop to think for a moment.
The routes are about - miles long
and you are not the only one on the
route and the convenience Of hav-
ing your mail brought to you each
day should certainly appeal to your
reason and prompt you to do all you
can to make il convenient for the
carrier. And / want TO say in all
kindness that the requirements will
be strictly enforced and when you
receive notice from a carrier to ar
range your box in compliance with
the regulations you Will be expected
to do so with as little delay as pos
sible Every one will be treated
the same. This must be done SO
the carriers can make the time. /
hope that each one will take an in
terest in this for you are certainly
the ones who are benefited BY the
service and should be willing to do
your part JOHN BEATTY, =. NJ.

"A BRILLIANT ENDING
Last Attraction Of nauiauqua Attended
by Largest Audience OF Session.

The Chautauqua started off little
slow and without much enthusiasm,
bat the ending vas the most brilliant
In the history Of the institution.
The last attraction was attended
by the largest and most enthusiastic
audience of the session, and 1t is
averred by some that the auditorium
contained more people last night
than were ever before assembled
within it's walls. Every seat was
occupied, great many chairs were
brought into requisition and
hundreds crowded around the
openings in the building. The
people attended with the expecta-
ton OF being well entertained and In
this they were not disappointed.
The performance given by the MEM
bers of the Waxahachie symphony
Choral Club would do credit TO pro
fessionals In the Thespian art, The
costumes were elegant, the stage
settings good and the work OF the
leading characters was given an
artistic touch and finish seldom seen
in productions by amateur talent.
The offering vas Pinafore,
catchy little neI comedy OF two
acts. the Scenes being laid on board
her majesfy's ship. The musical
numbers Mere excelleutly rendered
and the dialogue between the princi-
pal characters was well given. The
support consisted of strong chorus
Of boys dressed 10 the attire Of sail
ors and some fifteen or twenty young
ladies neatly dressed in white.
John Lanberth established him
self ia the favor OF the audience as
fhe Admiral. His costume fitted
the part aud his portrayal OF the
character was good
Ralph Rackstraw, the leading
male role, was taken by T.. \. Baker,
who handled the part in a most ex-
cellent manner. MIR. Baker has a
good tenor voice aud his numbers
were well sung
Wilbur Beaty made good Cap
tain Corcoran. acting ard singing
his part very aeceptably. His work
showed that be had thorough con-
eeptiou of his role.
Josephine, daughter OF the captain
and who falls in love with Ralph
Rackstraw, common sailor, in op-
position to her fathers wishes who
wants her tv wed the admiral, was
eharrniugly handled by Miss Alice
Wright. Miss Wright has a sweet,
melodious Vas and her singing was
quite captivA .0g.
The part of the chief boatswain
vas well sung by j NJ. Gilmore and
Neal Sims appeared as the boat
swain's mate.
Miss Fleta Hawkins made a
charming Buttereup, the flower girl.
All her scenes were excellen.ly act
ed aud her numbers beautifully rem
dered.
Miss Mary smith made "A demure
cousin Hebe, acting and singing her
part in a modest and graceful man
ner.
A capital bit OF work was by Speed
Guyer In the role of Dick Dead Eye.
He introduces freshness and
naturalness that is extremely pleas

To Mr.. Alfred Mackin. is due in
great measure the success and ar
