While absent from Savannah Mr..

was enthusiastic in his praise of the big
show.
Everybody ought to see It," said Mr..
Halle yesterday. 1.-The exhibition is an
education in itself. The Philippine eX-

all, to me at least.
THE entire show is on a magnificent
scale, and is beyond description in it's
beauty. 1t must be seen to be appre-
ciated.

SOME WOMEN LOVE P00DLES
MORE THAN CHILDREN.
Evangelist Ledbetter Spoke to Large
Congregation on Opportunity.

OAA
The gospel services at the tent at
Abercorn and Thirty-fourth streets
still continue in interest and power.
The services will continue a few days
longer when the tent will be pitched in
another section of the city.
Rev. Mr.. Ledbetter took as a text
last night. LAS we therefore have OPP
portunity let us do good unto all men,"
THE trouble with the world" he
said, lis the fact that multitudes are
waiting for some big opportunity to
turn up. Can any one in the audience
tell me the difference between a big
and a little opportunity? The little OPP
portunity embraced and utilized be-
comes a large one.
Il know of a woman, the mother of
nineteen children, who used her op-
portunity, Some might have said
she had no time to do religious work,
that her time was taken up with her
children, but she found time to teach,
train, and pray for them. So well did
she use her opportunity that she gave
to the world John and Charles Wes-
ley.
Some women, given to a form of
social life, have no time to give to
children. Really the children are
wearisome to them; oftentimes their
advent into this world is exceedingly
Unwelcome. | have known some wom-
en- who cared more for a poodle dog
or a poll parrot than they did for
children.
1T is popular to be a member of
the church, but it is very unpopular
to be religious.
Isn't it strange that many of our
young ladies cannot stand a young
man that is a Christian to a purpose.
oh, he is so pokey, they say. Really,
he is tiresome.' Young men too often
treat with ridicule and contempt a
young woman who dares to do the
right. who refuses to participate in
any questionable form of amusement.
What we want is a principle-a con-
viction to do the clean. pure. manly
thing.
IF emotion and sentiment were the
signs of religious life, the negro has
il on us. When we think Of the little
advantages some OF them have had the
kind of teachers and preachers they
have had. IL is a wonder that many of
them do as well as they do Really
some Of us have set them a very poor
example"

CUTTING C0CKSPURS IN
THE PARK EXTENSION.

Boys Have Not Been Engaged to
Pick Them as Was Done Last Year.
Grass in the Park Extension is now
being cut to prevent the development
of cockspurs. which last year caused
not only a serious controversy between
the city officials here, but enlisted the
interest of the greater portion of the
state. So far as can be learned, there
is to be no picking of cockspurs in the
Park Extension this year.
1t was the putting to work of a
number of boys last year TO pick the
cockspurs that first attracted public
attention. Some of the officials said
that was the only way to get rid of
the cockspurs, while others commended
that there was nothing to be gained
by the performance. There came near
being a serious rupture in Council be-
fore the cockspur agitation finally sub
sided.
By cutting the grass just as the cock
spurs are beginning to mature. 1t is
thought they will all be gotten rid of,
though another cutting may be neces-
sary later in the season.
