the body. By the misuse, and
our self-indulgence in certain
things, men and women bring up
on themselves slavery and bond
age that in terror surpasses all
other kinds of slavery. The most
miserable creatures in the world
are those whose appetites are con.
sumed with the whiskey habit.
Men shudder and quake at the
very thought of snakes, and have
an adherence for their convul-
siveness, and yet men are so en-
shaved to the appetite that they
cannot resist the approach of the
master that fills their vision with
lmmaginary reptiles, and their
muscles with commissions of delir-
lum tremens.
Yet people cry out for more
liberty. We have thousands and
hundreds of thousands who seek
the Kelley cure and other cures
for drunkenness, that they may
have few days rest from this the
gaint of masters; and along with
these in the United States Ga
Christian country we have five
million fallen girls, who are slaves
to their own shame and the shame
of the demons whose spoil they
are. And yet we hear the plea of
liberty to send more boys and
girls down to destruction. Most
of these girls, whose average life
of dissipation is only five years,
attribute their fall to whiskey.
Now, Uncle John, this is part
of the products your mills turn
cut, and now can you look upon
this sea of human wretchedness
without feeling of awe! You
appealed to the preacher to turn
water into wine, SO as to establish
their influence. To this | will
say, you are not required to per-
form any kind of miracle to
make known the power of alcohol
and Satan, for besides this great
sea of doomed wretches, there are
thirty thousand in the United
States that go down TO fill drunk
ards graves annually. Yes, this
influence to which you are lending
your aid turns the teeming mil
lions of people to eternal danna-
ton, while the preachers lend
their influence to turn the people
into the channels of everlasting
life.
Now, Uncle John, you do not
believe in men getting drunk. |

don't want our boys to get drunk,

Bombay, India.-The police station at
Katigora was a few days ago the scene
of great excitement and horror w hen the
corpse of unfortunate Nidan Patni, who
met his lamentable death from the claws
of tiger, was carried there for inspec-
ton.
Four persons were killed during the
course of a few weeks, besides a num-
Der of persons mauled; while carrying
away of cattle is going on almost every
day.
The tigers that have caused so great
a havoc here are now proved to be four
in number, one tiger. one tigress and
two big cubs, and our sympathetic dep
uty commissioner is said TO have offered
a reward of Rs 40 for the destruction
of each of them.
The ferocious brutes, having taken
their abode by the side of the only i'm
portant Dad leaiing from Katigora to
the village Gangapur, have practically
laid siege to the village, with the result
that communication pn foot has been
stopped. Several attempts that have
been made to afford relief to the unfor-
tunate villagers were all unsuccessful.
A party of local shikaries mastering
strong and equipped with firearms
marched into the jungle at the head of
our energetic Naib Tehsildar Maulvi
Mahommed Israil to hunt the tigers,
but with all their efforts they could not
make the master stripes come out Of
their recess.
The next day, however. another party,
consisting of four European gentlemen,
with a large number of coolies, sur
rounded the jungle and succeeded in
arousing the tigers, which managed to
escape through the line without giving

Everett, Wash.-Fleeing from her
husband, who she said was trying to
kill her, Mrs. Richard Vaughn sought
protection of the police here
She stated that she was treasurer
for the African Methodist church and
that her husband tried to get some
of the money, about s14, away from
her. He had threatened to kill her.
She evaded him, and ran to the rail-
road station, where officer Gordon
took her in charge and put her on a
car to go to the police station while
he sought for Vau"hn.
The woman declares that Vaughn
keeps her on her knees praying all
night. She would become exhausted.
and crying, would beg for mercy. He
would eXclaim in answer:
Cry, will yo'? OATS de debil in
you! Pray, or III cut yo' throat

In jail Vaughn spent most of the
time in prayer. He was so devout
that church people, who attempted to
hold the regular Sunday evening serv-
ices, gave up in despair and left him
master of the situation.

TRUTH HAD ITS INNING.
Amusing Story of Private Duffy and
His Interview with the
Captain.

1t not infrequently happens that, when
liar meets liar, truth has it's interlude, -
as the way Col Henry Huss, veteran of
the Seventeenth Connecticut volunteers,
prefaces his story of an Irish soldier,
Duffy by name, whose heroic services
during the civil war gave him fame but
uttle less conspicuous than that he won
Tor himself as patron of the flowing
bowl. Seeking opportunity for one OF
his periodicals, Duffy went to his cap
tain one day with the story that he had
Just received a letter from his wife, Il,
which she told Of the children being sick
and she was worn out with the work and
care Of them, and begging him to ask
the captain for furlough that he might
come home to her relief.
Wife wrote you that, did she?" hall
mechanically asked the captain, appre-
bending the petitioner trick and play
ang for device to check it without re-
course to discipline.

Duffy.

For moment the captain made no
reply, then, wheeling himself about with
the quIckness of one impelled by a sud
den resolution, he said:
Duffy, your ingenuity deserves some
thing better than refusal, but under the
circumstances l really don't see how I'm
going to grant your request. The truth
is, my good fellow, that have received

THIS JEALOUS DOG

Resents Attention Paid to Cat and
Tries to Kill 1t in an
Odd Way.

London.-A curious instance of q
dogs intelligent jealousy is reported
from Llanishen
A happy family there consisted of a
woman, cat, a kitten, and a York
shire terrier. All four we're on ex-
cellent terms until the terrier took
umbrage at attentions which its mis-
tress bestowed rpon the kitten.
The terrier straightway began to
dig hole in the garden, and finished
its task to its satisfaction in three
days.
Then the kitten disappeared. A
search was made, and as the terrier
was seen patting down the earth over
the hole which it had reflled. the
soil was removed. and the kitten was
found to have been buried alive.
The dog was punished, but it took
the kitten to the grave again, and the
following day took it to ditch and
left it there.
