Readlno the bible

1t was the meeting of the Christian
Endeavor society. Near the close the
leader suggested that each one should
tell what part of the Bible he read the
most, and give the reason.
The last one to speak was lad.
who said with little hesitation that
he read the first chapter Of Genesis
more than any others.
A look Of surprise and curiosity
was manifest in all the listeners, as
he went on to give his reason:

Dainty New Dessert.

This is one Of the prettiest ways OF
serving cream when one wants a new
dessert for a little dinner or lawn
fete. The pishtachio nuts can always
be bought in the Syrian quarters or
of high-grade grocers. Blanch two
ounces of the little nuts as you do
almonds, pour scalding water over
them. Remove the skins and pound
the nuts to a smooth paste, fiavoring
with little orange flower water.
Make a vanilla cream with or with
out eggs, as you prefer; add the nut
paste and freeze. The merlngues are
better bought OF the confectioner, as
1t is not worth while to spend the time
on anything so difficult to get just
right. Press a spoonful of the cream
between the shells and serve on small
plates. The green cream pressed be-
tween the white shells looks most at
tractlve, especially on hot day.

FEARFUL CARNAGE.

With each additional report from Por
Arthur wonder increases both at the per
sistence Of the japanese attack and thu
heroic stubborness of the defenders o.
the fortress. The japanese are said t
be literally throwing away thousands o
lives in the hope of shaking the courag'
of the Russian troops. Russian officer
say they are confident the fortress can
not be taken, but that if it is taken the
whole japanese army will have to inn
molate itself on the slopes of the fortifi'
cations.
There were five desperate assaults on
Green Hills July 26, the japanese re-
turning each time with apparently mex
haustible reinforcements. On the final
assault, however, the japanese broke
badly, throwing away their guns, car
fridge belts and even their boots to ia
cilitale their fight, and leaving 1000
dead or wounded.
Russian surgeons worked heroically,
impartially aiding japanese and Rus
SLAMS. The japanese we're so touched
that they tearfully thanked the Russian
surgeons.
The assault on Green Hills was re-
peated on July q, and there were fire.
quent hand to hand encounters, the Rus
slams leaving the trenches to follow their
enemies.
The assaults on July % and 20 on
the Wolf Hills were not followed up, the
japanese being too severely shaken. The
Russians evacuated the Wolf Hills
chiefly for strategic reasons, as the hills
made the line of defenses too long to eff
fectually withstand the furious attacks OF
the japanese.
The assault of July 80 was made in
the dark of the night in the hope of
surprising the Russians. Sixty thousand
men were hurled against our l9, 900, but
the Russians drove them back again and
again at the point of the bayonet. 1t
was another Shipka Pass.
The japanese poured in fresh bat
talions and the slopes, covered with the
dead and the dying, literally ran Win
blood.
The Russians were forced from their
position, but returned, and with the bay
onet again dislOdged the victOrs.
AS near as can be ascertained, this as
sault cost the japanese 10, 600 men.
The japanese losses since the siege
began have been $4,000 men. The ex-
plosion of one mine wiped out 500. This
was an awful sight. Avolcano of stones
dismembered the bodies Of the soldiers,
while the sky was lit up with purple
glare, and the mud walls of the Chinese
village were thrown down by the shock.
Alter this fight General Stoessel collected
20, 600 japanese rifles.

SHOT AND BURNED.

Jim Glover, a Georgia negro, was shot
to death last night near the home of a
white girl he had assaulted, and his body
was then dragged a distance of about a
mile into Cedartown aud burned at the
stake on the public square. A mob, es-
timated at 500, composed the shooting
and burning party. The crime for which
the negro was thus punished was that of
committing criminal assault upon little
Levia Reeves, the thirteen-year-old
daughter of well-known farmer. The
true story of the crime is the most revolt
ing that had ever been given to the public
from that immediate section OF the coun-
try. After the little girl had protected
the negro from the attack of large dog
owned by her father, he followed her to
the pasture where she was taking COW,
caught her, choked her to insensibility,
assaulted her, and left her unconscious in 2
cornfeld. This occurred yesterday morn-
ing. Bloodhounds had been on the negro s
track all day, and he was captured some
distance away late yesterday afternoon
and taken to the home of the girl, who
uuhesitatingly identified him as her as
sailant. In the meantime, crowd OF
fully 500 persons had gathered, and sum-
mary justice was meted out to the negro
as soon as it was learned that the girl
had positively identified him as the
right man. The negro confessed his guilt.
Immediately the crowd took him away
from the posse which had captured him,
and his body was riddled with bullets.
The crowd continued to gather, and
when the march back to town with the
dead body in tow began, it appeared as
if fully l, 900 persons had joined in the
procession. By the time the crowd reach
ed Cedartown, several hundred more had
been added to the crowd. About 1000
persons witnessed the burning as best
they could in the bright moonlight on
the most conspicuous place on Main
street. The town was in fever of excite.
ment last night, but it is thought nc
/ further trouble will follow.
