The hero stands alone,
And Tryon, mad with cruel JOY,
Commands his men to bind the boy.
Hanged on the bloody battlefield,
The brave lad noby dies;
And Freedom crowns with tears Of pride
The ialowed sacrifice;
knowing that manly martyrs live
Until their work is done;
Into thousand multiplied,
Strengthened, and purged, and glorifed,
They fight till they have won.
A blaze of fire, cloud Of smoke,
A ecipsed by tyrant's frown:
And justice shuddered and vengeance awoke
When Tryon marched back to Hilsboro-tovn
Driving his prisoners brave all,
Heroes in chains, the galows TO die;

In moulding a nations DESTINY,
For flame that was born in its youthful heart,
Still fills the land with its hallowed light
And many of the dear old town
Has worked to the front and won renown

Ready to die in a cause that is right,
Hating tyrant and swapping his chain;
Men strong in muscle, and heart, and BRAIN

Are full Of DULL echoes of battle and raid,
Of the clanking of hoofs that galloped this way

And startling the world with blaze of light

Fought With Snakes.

Pat Lamb of Yucatan has had a
fight for his life in a nest of rattle
snakes. Mr.. Lamb was walking
through pasture on his farm when
he happened upon the snakes which
were out summing themselves. As
he only saw few he started to kill
some of them with club. Some of
the reptiles showed fight and soon
others came out from the nest which
was in a hole in the side of hill. Mr..
Lamb was then compelled to battle for
his life and it was only when he was
almost exhausted that he succeeded in
beating off his assailants. He hurried
for help and when he returned eight
cen dead snakes were found, some old
ones with many rattles, but the ma
jority being small. Mr.. Lamb said
there must have been a hundred rat
tiers in the nest, but no more could be
found of those that remained alive.

dream of Missionaries, but, as Mr.. Hale,
in his address at the seventh annual con-
ference on international arbitration
(held at Lake Mohonk, New York;, de-
clares: The necessity of permanent
peace is now established, not only among
idealists, but among all intelligent men
and women engaged in the active work
of daily life. Especially is it desirable
that the great producers of food, who
answer the prayers for bread of half
the world with the bankers, the mer-
chants, the manufacturers, the educa-
tors, and all others who control the
great industries of the nation, unite in
that practical direction of its affairs
which shall compel universal permanent
peace. The Lake Mohonk conference
earnestly appeals to boards OF trade,
chambers of commerce, to the legislature
of the states, to all unions, whether of
workmen or of capitalists, to all bust
ness houses, to all men and women who
look and pray for the prosperity and ad-
vancement of this nation, to take in hand
such practical measures for permanent
peace as the time demands"
The Pan-American congress in Mex
leo has been a means of forwarding the
peace movement among the Latin
Americans, and the nations left out in
the first Hague conference probably will
join in the next one.
In England has been carried on for
long time earnest work towards the es-

Stabbing ARRAY.

A fatal stabbing affray took place at
Winnipeg Junction. 1t appears that
CLAUS Larson, who lives two miles
south and one mile east of Ulen, in
Goose Prairie township, was passing
along near the depot at Winnipeg
Junction at about IL o'clock at night,
when he was assaulted by a party
named Ole Molstad. Larson received a
thrust from knife, the blade striking
the right temple and penetrating the
brain. Larson was taken to the
Crookston hospital in a semi-concious
condition where an operation was per-
formed. A portion of the skull was
removed and quantity of pus was re-
moved from the effected portion of the
brain, but Larson continued to sink
and died.

Paris in 1S49, Victor Hugo presiding.
1000 members in attendance Forty
years ago there was held at Geneva,
Switzerland, an international convoca-
ton of European states whose object
was the lessening of needless suffering
of soldiers in war This Geneva con-
vention provided for the neutrality of
the members and building of the medical
departments on battle fields. A few
years later, in 1872, the Geneva Tri-
bunal, a tribunal of arbitration, settled
the case of the Alabama claims and
adopted rules important in the history
Of international law. The Norwegian
storthing or parliament was the first off,
cial body to organize an international
peace union. Recently local and gen.
eral peace societies in various countries
have continued and very considerably
advanced the peace agitation"-if one
may use such a paradoxical term.
Three years prior to The Hague con-
ference an international peace congress
was held at Buda-Pesth. Succeeding
The Hague conference there has beer
a universal demonstration of women in
behalf of arbitration and peace.
1t seems curious that greedy Russia
should be the country most prominent
in universal peace propaganda We all
know Of the present cars call for The
Hague conference, but some of our read
ers may not be acquainted with similar
action on the part of predecessor of the
car, Alexander l. of Russia. This
Alexander instituted many reforms In
the domain over which he ruled, and a
few years before his death became
greatly interested in the formation of
league Of nations sworn to brotherhood
and peace. In 1915, aided by Austria
and Prussia, he formed the 'Holy AL
lance" the text of which was presently
signed by all the other European SOW
ereigns save those of Rome and Eng
land. The holy alliance and the insti-
gator Of It like The Hague conference
and its imperial suggestor, has been
the subject of much cynical remark, the
motive of Russia's head in each case
considered not one Of unalloyed altru-
ism. Doubters say Alexander and the
co-signers of the holy alliance, living at
the time of the fall of the French royal
ty, of Napoleon's successes and failure,
instituted the alliance for the purpose
of perpetuating existing dynasties; that
Car Nicholas II. had in The Hague con-
ference scheme of limited ornaments
an object that was primarily to bring
benefit to his own nation, Russia being
absorbed in gigantic development plans
that would be seriously impeded by war.
Be this as it may, motives mixed or un-
mixed, as some one says the progress of
the world has often been through en-
lightened self-interest, and Russia's
name will be associated in history with
the Inauguration of movements towards
the goal of universal peace.

speak to that one if brought face to face.
Italy said she would not come if the vati-
can had a representative of its own.
so the vatican was left out; Holland, OF
course, wanted to invite the South Afrl-
can republic, but England would allow
no special Boer representative, SO
that no paritality be shown, neither the
South African republic nor the Orange
Free State received invitations; the
Bulgarian representative, to please the
Porte. had to sit with the delegation
from Turkey; no one was invited from
South America; Europe, the United
States, China, Japan, Persia and Siam
were finally the elect granted invita-
tons.
In May, 1899, in "The House in the
Woods" at The Hague, there assembled
delegates from Russia, Germany, United
States, Austria-Hungary, Belgium,
China, Denmark, Spain, France, Great
Britain, Greece, Italy, Japan, Luxem-
bourg, Netherlands, Persia, Portugal.
Roumania, Servia, Sweden and Norway,
Switzerland, Turkey and Bulgaria
Ten sessions were held and three COM
mittees made reports. The first COM
mittee. which dealt with the limitation
of ornaments and the humanizing or
warfare. was not able to present very
successful work, it not having been
found practicable to adopt any disarma-
ment proposition, and such wide differ
ence of opinion showing itself anent the
question of prohibiting the use of va
rious inventions in warfare. The sec
ond committee had for consideration
the protection of sea hospital service
under the Red Cross flag, the extending
of the Geneva convention of 1864 to
maratime warfare, and the treaties pre-
pared by this committee stood for
marked progress in the humanizing of
warfare, and they alone are thought to
have justified the holding of the con-
gress. The third committee had for con-
sideration the very important question
of international arbitration, and "the
convention for the peaceful adjustment
of international differences" was signed
and ratified by all the powers repre-
sented at the conference. Mr.. Edwin A.
Start, in summing up The Hague meet
ing. declares that congress, with all
its difference of opinion, with all it's
shortcomings and limited accomplish
ments, stood first and foremost for in
formation arbitration upon large scale
and on the basis of permanence."
The hearty support given by England
and America to the question of inter-
national arbitration was most impor-
tant factor in the success of the treaty
of arbitration. In America there is
being evidenced generally less and less
of jingoism, decided leaning towards
peace conditions and peace principles.

dates back three-quarters of century,

try than formerly. The peace move

Favoring Investigation of Present
Government Reported.

Boston, Oct 10.-King Leopold, Of Bel
GUM, was assailed for his policy as SOW
ereign of the Congo Free State at pub
lie meeting held Friday afternoon in
connection with the session of the in
ternational peace congress. The attack
upon King Leopold was made by E. T.
Morell, of England, who represented the
Congo Reform association. Mr. Morell
charged that the king was personally re-
sponsible in large measure for cruel
ties practiced on the natives of the Congo
Free State in the terrific endeavors of
monoplistic commercial organizations
to obtain from the country all the ivory
and rubber possible. The king was de-
Tended by George Herbert Head, of Cam
bridge, England who submitted that
King Leopold had done all possible to
stop the cruelties practiced. The gov
eminent policy in the Congo also was
bitterly denounced by Rev. W. M. Nor
rison, for seven years a missionary in
the Congo land.
Denounced King Leopold.
In brief after-dinner speech, deliv-
cred before the international peace
congress Friday night, Booker T
Washington arraigned the Belgian
government for the alleged outrages
in the Congo free state, declaring that
he had evidence of abuse and cruelty
and said that a state q affairs existed
that was a blot upon modern civiliza
ton.
Investigation Favored.
At the closing session of the peace
congress Saturday, the committee on
questions of the day reported resolu-
tons in favor of an investigation into
the present government of the Congo
led three questions which they de-
clared should be referred either to a
renewed conference of the powers con-
cerned in the formation of the Congo
Free State. or to The Hague court OF
arbitration. The questions follow:
1. Is the government of the Congo
Free State still to be regarded as the
.rustee of the powers which recognize
he flag of the international associa-
ion?
2. Is the Belgian government to be
regarded as responsible for the actions
If the government of the Congo Free
State?
g. In either of these events what is
he position of the Congo Free State
international law, and in what
manner may the grave questions con-
corning it's alleged actions be salts
factorily and competently determined?
The reporting committee agreed to
strike out reference to the Belgian gov
ernment's responsibility, and the re-
port as amended then was adopted unan-
imously.
Resolutions were adopted rejoicing in
the International treaties.

MANY FAVORABLE FEATURES
OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS GROWS
STEADILY BRIGHTER.
Leading Commercial Agencies Find
Much for Congratulation in
the Situation.

New York, Oct. 10-R. G. Dun's Week
ly Review of Trade says: with the
crops almost beyond danger, prices of
securities at the highest point since May,
1903, and idle machinery resuming at
many factories and mills that have been
closed for months, the business outlook
grows steadily brighter. By far the best
feature of the situation is the confidence
manifested by an increased disposition
to provide for future requirements. This
is by no means general, but it is noticed
at pig iron furnaces, wooden mills and
among dealers at widely separated
points, particularly thosglocated in the
agricultural sections. Mercantile col
lections are also more prompt, and rail-
way earnings for the month of September
were 3.8 per cent. larger than in the same
month last year, while foreign commerce
at this port for the last week shows in
creases of 81, 051 ,20S in imports and S410,-
74S in exports as compared with year
ago. Dispatches from the leading cities
are almost unanimous in telling of i'm
proved conditions.
Failures this week in the United
States are 222, against 223 last week, 225
the preceding week and 239 the corre-
spending week last year Failures in
Canada number 25, against Is last week,
80 in the preceding week and II last
year"
Bradstreets says: Popular esti-
mates of leading crop yields continue to
enlarge, corn has passed out of danger
of serious frost damage in the west, and
distribution. both at wholesale and re-
tail, expands as cooler weather ap-
proaches. Additional favorable features
are the continuance of the good tone in
pig iron, freer buying by railways of ma
terial and rolling stock, and heavy gen.
eral crop movement helping collections
north and south. While the buying of
dry goods, hardware, groceries, shoes
and clothing continues of good volume,
particularly at the west, conservative in
fiuences find reflection in small but fire.
