his eyes on the man they called Spec
kle in Il look which stayed a coarse jest
upon his lawless lips.
They talked of the great, new mining
camp on the side of Mogalyon, whereto
they were all bound. 'They're striking

week they made three strikes on Pine

They perceived his deadly earnest

clustered: Il see you again. l get you

Raymond's hand dropped upon his
shoulder, and he landed outside the

out and watched them mount.

the opening bars of Way Down

could have almost hear a pin

the closing notes came, the old
rebel yell resounded throughout
the room quickly followed by the
inspiring music of Dixie, play

For over an hour, one member
after another got up and told
of the experiences and the work
of the corps during the four years
of the war from 1861 to the final
surrender at Gainesville, Ca, in

BY a unanimous and enthusiast

in order that these annual reun-
ions of the few members Of the

Forests Cavalry Have a Little Re-
union Of Their Own Kind.

Over a hundred men of For
rests Cavalry Corps had a good
old-fashicned Reunion yesterday
at Washington Artillery Hall.
There was not a large number
of the men present, but what
they lacked in numbers they
more than made up in enthusiasm
The Reunion was called to order
by Major General Tyler, COM
handing. When he appeared he
was greeted with cheers by the
men who served under him. A
number of the veterans got up
on their chairs and waved their
hats.
But little business was transac-
ted at the meeting. It was in
formal from start to finish.
In his opening address General
Tyler laid stress on the necessity
Of the men of this army Corps
getting closer together and form
ing a better organization than
they had up to this time.
Captain Rucker reused the
crowd of veterans to the widest
enthusiasm by his speech. In a
half hours talk he outlined the
career of Forests Corps, and
told of it's history, which reads
almost like romance. AS ne told
of battle after battle in which
this cavalry corps performed
feats of valor the veterans went
wild.
When he finished talking, Leon
Joseph, the bugler of the corps,
who came here with Captain
Rucker, struck up a number OF
the old fashioned airs on the
same old fiddle on which he used
to play for General Forrest dur
ing the war.

To Control Cotton Prices.

A telegram from New Orleans
the past week discloses the in
.ardness of a deal which is said
to be on, whereby English cotton
seek to gain control OF
many millions of acres of cotton
in Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama and Texas, for the pur-
pose Of colonizing the land with
foreigners whose labor shall be
employed for the purpose of rails
ing cotton for the English mills.
With this direct connection with
the production of cotton the Eng
fish spinner sees an opportunity
to fix the price far below the pri-
ces which would ordinarily pre-
vail in an open market. The
spinner's profit depends very
largely upon his being able to
get the raw cotton at a cheap
price, and as a large producer of
the staple, and being able to con-
troll the labor that produces it,
he would stand in a very COM
manding position in the cotton
market. 1t has been the policy
of the state to withhold our lands
from nonresident aliens and cor
porations, the latter being gran
ted only such ownership as is
necessary to carry on their bust
ness. The constitution of the
state, under section "a, express
ly provides that ''the legislature
shall enact laws to limit, restrict
or prevent the acquiring or hold
ing of land in this state by non
resident Aliens" the object of
the section being to save the cit
liens of the state sufficient lands
to enable them to own homes.
The appearance of foreigners in
the real estate market to buy our
lands in such quantities as to
make of them unde sirable COM
petitors in our chef industry,
should be taken as a menace to
the present satisfactory condi-
tons. Another generation may
find it difficult to S cure homes
unless we have the foresight to
reserve for them the lands which
are growing more valuable each
year and in greater demand.

Reform of the prisoner was the aim
of those who first advocated the indie
terminate sentence. The plan has
been supposed to be satisfactory, but
the recent National Prison Congress
pointed out some flaws. The chief
trouble comes from the fact that some
States which have adopted the indeter-
inmate sentence have complicated 1t
with maximum and a minimum term,
so that it is indeterminate only within
fixed limits. The effect of this Is that
many prisoners, knowing they can be
held only the maximum time, obey the
rules well enough to secure the rebate,
but upon their release revert to lives
of crime. The recommendation Of the
congress were: Well-guarded laws per
mitting the suspension of sentences be
fore Imprisonment in cases Of minor
offenses; provisions for indeterminato
sentences in the penal system Of every
State; and the creation of non-partizan
boards to handle the cases Of paroled
prisoners.

TEST OF THE PURE RELIGION.
By Rev. ]. B. Remensnyde

BY rev. y. d. HemenSnyder.
"Pure religion and undefiled before
God and the Father. james 2: %.
Every rlght-minded and sound-heart-
ed man or woman believes in religion;
that is, that man has faculties fitting
him for God, relations tnat bind him
to God, duties owing to God. But
what is pure religion? There are so
many counterfets. How shall l tell
the genuine article? This is what per-
plexes many person who would like
to be really religious.
First, there is the religion of inter-
est. Some persons treat it as a mat
ter Of shrewd calculation. They think
it is prudent and safe to be religious.
1t is good prop for the state and
makes good citizens. 1t is certificate
Of character. Religious standing in
the community is looked upon as a
valuable asset, much the same as a
bank account.
1t may also be a passport into
heaven. Hence, such persons are reg
ular observers Of church services and
perhaps large glvers. But this religion
of interest is hollow counterfeit. 1t
reduces piety to the level Of mere
business. 1t has the form of godli-
ness, but denies the fervor thereof" )"
and it does irreparable harm to pure
religion. Many take these formalities

as true types Of religion, and they
think tnat all piety is but hollow show,
empty ceremony, sounding brass and
tinkling cymbal.
Here, again, is the religion of law.
This regards God as a law-giver who
must be feared and served. 1t thinks
of Him with trembling and awe.
Hence with it penance, rigor and self
denial are the chief graces. 1t is
religion of the conscience and thor
oughly sincere, out its objection is that
it only sees one side of God.
1t Is narrow, harsh and austere. 1t
makes religion a matter Of gloom and
robs it Of all sunshine. 1t tends, too,
to self-righteousness. 1t manufactur-
ers Pharsees. Its votaries become
censors of others. They judge all by
their own hard legalism. And whoever
does not square with their narrow, Sc
we're standard, they look disdainfully
upon as publicans and sinners.
The third type is the religion of
love. This does not, indeed, forget that
God Is law and justice, but it recog-
nlzes that supremely God Is Love-"
1t looks upon Him as a father, only
desiring the highest well-being Of His
creatures. 1t wOrships Him, not with
fear, but with rejoicing. 1t serves
Him, not in the bondage of slave,
but with the freedom of son. 1t is
| not hampered by the chains of the let
ter, but lives in the liberty of the
| spirit.
1t is the religion of the heart. 1t is
the religion of joy. 1t is the ideal re-
ligion of the soul. This is the pure
religion of our text, "undefled De
| fore God and the Father"
Pure religion" again is a life, and
none the less is it a faith. 1t is
frequent mistake to conceive of these
as distinct from or opposed to one an
| other. But normally they are mutual
| ly Independent as fountain to stream,
root to tree, seed to fruit. There is,
indeed, a dead or merely creeded, but
there is also a living faith.
A mans life is none the better for
being an atheist or even a hereto.
| Negations are not sources of life or
power. "All great ages" wrote Emer-
son, have been ages of belief" The
purer, the stronger, the dviner our
| faith, the richer and more beautiful
| and fruitful will be our life.
| And so we reach the last and full
| est outcome of real religion as de-
| fined in the latter clause Of our text.
| Pure religion is this, to visit the father.
| less and widows in their Affections.
The religion Of faith and love, of free
| dom and joy, starts in the soul the
streams Of charity and good will. He
who has it wishes all the world to
| share in its blessed sunshine.
In one of Tissots masterpieces
Jesus is portrayed as moving through
a multitude of sick, diseased or Grip
pied. AS he passes by the pallid cheek
| glows with health, the enfeebled limbs
grow elastic and the whole sorrowing
scene is changed into beauty, joy and
| gladness. So the final test of pure re-
| ligion is that it touches the soul with
the spirit of kindness, and that as
its possessor moves through the world
he has heart of sympathy, word of
gentleness and hand of help for ev-
cry struggling brother And thus ev-
erywhere a trail of light and a ray of
gratitude follow upon his gracious
steps.
