Refused To Have Docler.

Alma, Sept, S.--A "holiness"
preacher named Hudson, accom-
panied by his wife and 2-year-
old son, arrived here from Texas
about 10 days ago and began O
series of meetings in a tent, two
miles north OF town. He and his
wife both preached and their
meetings were attended with
much interest. The little bow
sickened and grew worse until he
died. The couple resolutely re-
fused to call a physician, saying
"the Lord would care for the
child" and it received no medi-
cal attention whatever,
Much indie nation was aroused
when the child died, but no action
was taken, ,-.,'.

Why SovthernsrS are Impvlsive.

Ex-Governor "Bob" Taylor,
in his excellent magazine, says:
"If | were asked why our
Southern people are so impulsive'
| would answer, it is not so much
the effect of the climate, as it is
the predominance of Irish blood
in our veins. 1t was this that
fired the Irish heart of Patrick
Henry to preach secession from
English wrath and the power of
English arms. 1t was this that
nerved our Irish American Pres.
idont, James X. Polk, to have
Mexico thrashed before breakfast.
1t was this that woke the lion in
the Irish bosom Of John G. CAL
houn and impelled him to thunder
the doctrine Of States Rights
under the constitution, and it was
this which finally put the North
on the pension list and the South
on crutches."

A Jefferson City lady decided
to scare her husband who was
quite a hard drinker, so he would
reform. To do this she procured
the costume of a devil he had

feeling happy she quickly donned
the costume. AS he opened the

said in sepulchral tones: "Come

Praises the President in Strongest
Terms.

Terms.
In private letter received at Berlin
NJ. White expresses the following opin-
ion of President Roosevelt:
From moral standpoint the presi-
dent of the United States is a states
man of large caliber. Born in a time
when politicians are more children of
their country than of their history, he
owes his high position, which he fills
more worthily every day, exclusively
to his personal qualities as revealed in
actions requiring dignity, tact and
clear vision. The world recognizes
this.
when one speaks with President
Roosevelt he charms through the ele-
walton of his thoughts and through
that transparent Philosophy which
permeates his judgment. He has an
ideal, and strives for higher aims than
a commonplace existence presents. In
the stubborn struggles of our day men
like Mr. Roosevelt have no leisure, for
they are soldiers who can not be re-
lieved from the danger line"
