Lincoln and Davis.

1t is probable that if MI. Lincoln
had lived in Mississippi and had
been surrounded by the environ
ments that had surrounded MI. Da-
Wis all his life, he would have accept
ed the Presidency of the Confed-
eracy if he had been elected. 1t is
probable that if Mr.. Davis, sur
rounded by the environments that
made Mr.. Lincoln what he was, had
been elected from Illinois to the
Presidency of the United States, he
would have sent troops to force the
seeding States back into the Union.
1t was probably all a question of
environment and education. Both
could not be absolutely right, but
each could be right from his point
of view, and there is no reason to
doubt the honesty or sincerity of
either. The South should build a
magnificent monument to Mr.. Davis,
but it finds no fault with the fact
that Lincoln monuments rise in all
parts of the country. They COM
memorate a great mana man of the
broadest sympathies, a man who
would doubtless have protected the
South from the horrors of recon
struction if he had lived.-Florida

HOG CHOLERA CURED.
Burnett's Greek, Ind.


DR.. Earl S. Sloan, Boston, Mass.
Dear Sir:-Five years ago I was
in the employ of Mr.. j. d. Richard
son, Lafayette, Ind, as his barn fore
man, when he took the agency for
your remedies in that place. l had
the sale and use of them and be-
came very well acquainted with them.
/ have never found their equal for
man or beast. Some fine hogs that
l was feeding took the cholera. I
gave them Sloan's Liniment and did
not lose a hog. Some were so bad
they would not drink sweet milk, and
/ was compelled to drench them. I
have tried it at every opportunity
since and always find it o. X. I
recommended it to my neighbors last
fall and they have not lost a hog
since using it.
Yours truly,

MONT PElEE TODAY.
Site of the City Covered by Scared
Masses Of Lava.

In conversation with Montreal Star
representative, Colin Mckay. who has
Just returned from the West Indies,
spoke of visit paid to the scene of the
volcanic horror of Martinique.
Where the city Of st. Pierre once
fourished." he said. there is a thick
bed of lava. which Is already assuming
the appearance of vast gray granite
rock. About nine years ago | passed
close by st. Pierre In the evening and
saw its white roofs, its towers and Gu
polas cleaning between the fronded
crests and 1.-the gray trunks of the
royal palms, and heard the crash of
bands in its squares, and the tlnkling
Of mandolins upon the French ships
lying in the roadstead. But now the mass
of lava covers completely the gay Paris
of the Antilles with all its life and
color and music gone, as though 1t
were buried under q massive mauso-
leum of granite. There are no ruins
I nothing at all to indicate that city OF
$4,000 people had once iiourished there.
Before you rises the gaunt and
colossal cone of Mont Pelee. with Its
awful head yeiled In lazy and pestifer-
Gus vapors. Its SCARED. lava-streaked
slopes rent with gigantic fissures and
wild gorges. and at It's base piled up In
prlmeval confusion masses of the
blown-out crest and sides. The i'm
preston which the sight OF Mont Pelee,
brooding in Its uncleanly clouds OF
smoke above Its hldeous and awful
works. makes upon you is difficult to
define. You are awed. but hardly hor-
rifed. In the presence OF such ew-
dence OF natures forces you are so I'M
pressed with the grandeur and majesty
of her efforts that you do not think of
the blottlng out OF such nn insigniii-
cant thing as a city OF men and their
works.

Of the city stretched over level plain.
the earth washed down from the noun
tain sides by the rains has formed
soil In which grass and trees are begin
ming to grow In patches. In n few
years. no doubt the tomb OF the city
will be covered with the vegetation OF

Scared sides OF Polee covered with for

land has emerged from It's covering OF
