"The Call of the Wild. "

The executive committee of the Mis-
sionary Board of the United Breth-
ren in Christ of Huntington, Ind, has
dropped from the church Daniel
Flickinger Wilberforce, a native Afri'
can who was brought to this country
as child and after being educated
was returned by the board to his old
tribe as a missionary.
1t is charged by the board that
after service of 25 years as mis-
eionary the negro minister has been
lured back to heathenism, has become
chief of his old tribe of devil worship
ers and has contracted plural mar
riages in the wilds Of Africa.
Nearly so years ago Daniel Flick
niger, then secretary Of the missionary
board of the church, was in West
Africa on a mission work. While
visiting Congregational missionary,
announcement was made that male
child had been born in a negro village.
The host of DR.. Flickinger christened
the baby Daniel Flickinger Wilber-
force. Twelve years later the boy
was brought to America by return
ing missionary. DR.. Flickinger ac-
cidentally discovered his namesake at
work at the missionary house in New
York and took the lad to Dayton, o.
The boy was sent to school, then
through high school and later to a
medical college at Cleveland. he
married negress at Dayton. Later
the two went to Africa 10 do mission
airy work among the old tribe from
which Wilberforse came.
Later the missionary and family
eturned to this country and Wilber-
force lectured throughout the Central
States. His four children, two sons
and two daughters, attended Central
College at Huntington.
Two sons are still in this country,
one at Otterbein College and the
other in the Dayton High School.
Wilberfcrce returned to Africa. The
board has been informed of his re-
lapse to heathenism, of contracting
plural marriages and of his becoming
chief OF the tribe. The venerable
DR.. Fhckinger, while much depressed,
sanctions the action of the board.

Too Slow.

A Moorestown farmer, who is over
70 years old, is proud of being still
hale and gay. One morning he and
his two sons began to wrangle over
their respective strength, and the
farmer declared that he could load
hay as fast as they could pitch it.
So they went to the field, and the
old farmer climbed into a hay wagon
with his fork, and the two sons began
to pitch the hay up to him as fast as
they could. The old man worked
bravely and well-he loaded with
lightning speed, and all the while he
kept calling down:
"More hayl More hayl"
The boys were kept mighty busy,
but their youth told in their favor.
The farmer began to load more un-
tidily. Still, scrambling on top Of
the uneven mounds, he kept on shout
ing, More hayl" Suddenly he trip
ped as he dug in his fork, and fell
from the wagon to the ground.
"Aha," said the eldest son, "what
are you doirg down here?"
The old farmer answered, as he rose
from the ground:
You're too burned slow; came
down for more hay"

The Cord That Binds.

There is an unseen cord which binds
The whole wide world together:
Through every human life it winds
This one mysterious tether-
It links all races and all lands
Throughout their span allotted;
And death alone untes the strands
Which God himself has knotted.
However humble be your lot
Howe'er your hands are tattered.
You cannot think noble though,
But all the world is beuered.
With every impulse, deed or word.
wherein love binds Nth duty,
message speeds along the cord
That gives the earth more beauty.
Your unkind thought, your selfish deed
Is felt in fartherest places;
There are no solitudes where greed
And wrong -an hide their faces;
There are no separate lives; the ehain'
Too subtle for our seeing.
Unites US all upon the plain
of universal being.

LIGHTNING FLASHED
THUNDER R0ARED

An electrical storm OF unusual sever
ity, accompanied by light rainfall,
swept over Canon City shortly after 3
O'Clock last Tuesday afternoon, al
though no particular damage was
done by it beyond temporary crippling
Of the telegraph and telephone service
cause ed by the burning out Of fuses and
the disabling Of instruments.
Lightning struck in several places
about town and many people were
frightened by the thunderbolta. which
were of exceptional violence.
In the midst of the storm a fire
alarm was sounded and in = drenching
rain the department responded to the
call and extinguished an incipient blaze
in the rear of the st. Cloud hotel.
W hich many people supposed to have
originated from a stroke Of lightning,
but which investigation developed was
caused by defective ashpit.
The rain was highly acceptable and
was OF great benefit to fruit growers
and gardeners, as well as in laying the
dust, which was becoming very disa-
greeable on the much travelled streets
in the suburbs OF the city.
