braska orator has been subject
ed has come from SouthernDem
ocrats. In other words, at a
time when their own party is
drifting rapidly in the direction
of radicalism and socialism, the
voice of conservatism is raised
in the South. This suggests the
idea that in the realignment Of
parties that seems to be inevi-
table in the near future theDem
ocratic party, dominated by its
leaders in the Southern States,
will be the organization that will
attract conservative men in all
sections. Such a result would
not be surprising for the South

is traditionally opposed to cen
tralization and to that increasing
Of the power Of the Federal gov,
ernment to interfere with local
affairs which would result from
radicalism in national legislation
The South is developing as new
er before and: it is reallzeo oJ
many Southern Democrats that
if this development is to continue
unchecked the Southern States
mnst be left free to attract cap
ital and population by conserva,

authority to interfere with either
the social or the business affairs
of the States.

Gambling n Religious Duty.

Speaking OF gambling" mission
ary said, Il know Of sect that re-
CARDS it as a religious duty, like fast
ing or prayer. This sect is the Hindoos.
They one day in each year gamble like
mad from sunrise till sunset. The
day is the festival Of the lamps, a
day sacred to Lakshun, the goddess Of
wealth. A tremendous lot Of money
changes hands in Lakshun's honor. All
this gambling is done to test the f1nan-
cial success that will attend on each
person throughout the year. If gam
bier loses he knows a year of hard
luck is ahead Of him. Ii he wins be
knows he may expect twelvemonth
Of prosperity. Strange to say, . good
deal of cheating accompanies this re-
lisious gambling"

s'Shonld a Woman Marry a Man Who
Drinksr

''SnorlG Nomau MaIIT HidE WIZ
Drinks"
The answer of this question
decides the veal or woe of a life
time.
The man who drinks before
marriage seldom reforms, but be-
comes a slave to his appetite.
Either irritable and quarrelsome
or silly and ridiculous, he is a
menace or a modification to wife
and children. TO remain strong
and healthy man must violate
no law Of nature. The man who
drinks takes into his system al
cohol, which, science tells US, is
a slow poison, stimulating brain
and heart, with a constant reac-
ton and loss Of vitality. It's con-
tinued use destroys mental, NOR
al and physical power. Revolt
ing and brutal crimes are the re-
suit of the drink habit. No wo-
man has a right to choose for
the father of her children one
who cannot give perfect physi-
cal life. Alcohol users beget i'm
perfect, frail, even degenerate
children. A woman who marries
a man who drinks, wilfully choos-
es to ruin her life and to entail
on innocent offspring the conse-
quences of her weakness.
A drinking man cannot retain
the respect of a refined woman;
his presence dlsgusts her. and
children born will despise the
father. Association contaminates
the innocent; the woman will
sink to the level of the husband,
or must escape by leaving him.
Either course is fatal to the home
aud happiness of both parents
and children.
A woman's life is inextricably
bound up with that of her hus-
band, and only the highest de-
gree Of purity and virtue in both
can make marriage a holy tie.
Happiness rests on confidence,
and respect is the foundation of
love. Can a woman respect a
man who, by yielding a gross ap-
petite, weakens his will, beclouds
his brain and loses control of his
body?
Life may be full of content
and happiness without either
love or marriage. Better live a
sweet, pure single woman to old
age than accept the sorrow and
degradation that lasts until
death parts you from a drinking
man.

THE MASAI OF AFRICA.
A queer Race Where the Men Be-
come Old at Thirty.

The young men Of that African race,
the Nasal, are all warriors, theoretical
~, between the ages approximately Of
seventeen and twenty-seven. When. in
this stage they are known in their own
language as ell moran. They pull tho
head hair out to its greatest length,
even sometimes twisting and plating
fiber and string into their wool. The
hair is then thickly coated with mutton
fat and red clay and tied into perukes.
All hair on the face and body is pluck
ed out by iron tweeZers. The skin Is
kept constantly fabricated with NUT
ton fat mixed with red clay, but as
rule the body is not disagreeably oily,
and this fabrication only has the result
Of giving a beautiful polish to their
statuelike forms.
AS regards the body there is proba-
bly, no more beautifully formed type Of
man than the young Nasal warrior.
The face is sometimes in keeping with
the body, but more often has rather
brutal aspect. The Nasal are not pure
negroes, but obviously received very
long while ago a slight infusion Of
Hamltic blood from races dwelling to
the east Of the White Nile. While they
are in the young-man-warrior stage the
Nasal live principally on milk and on
blood drawn from the veins Of living
cattle. They also occasionally eat the
meat Of oxen, goats or sheep.
When a Nasal decides that he has
had enough knocking about and has
accumulated sufficient property oo
which to retire he decides to marry
This is usually about the age Of twen-
ty-seyeu to thirty. After marriage he
shaves bis head, or at any rate keeps
the hair OF his head very close cropped.
Ee ceases to anoInt himself with NUT
ton fat and definitely ranges himself
with the old men.

Praye er and Praise.

If it were possible to gather

room where mother travelled
in prayer till her daughter came
to her with open Bible and with

her mother and to our great sis

we thankGod for our beginnings,
for the arrest of thought that set
the gentle hand of Christian
motherhood over against the de
vastation of alcohol.

Arsenic.

Arsenic has been known from very
early times as a deadly poison. It is
believed to have been the means en-
ployed by Nero to remove his enemies,
and there Is little doubt that it was
also known to and employed by Mes
salina and Agrippina. During the mid
die ages It was extensively used as q
secret poison, being sold by alchemists
and poisoners Of Italy under the name
OF widows powders or succession
powders" It's properties were definite
ly ascertained ard made public by
Brandt In 1888. The plant from which
asafetida Is produced Is native Of
Persia, Afghanistan and northern
India. In all these countries the in
habitants use It as a seasoning for
their meat and vegetables, much as red
pepper is employed by the natives Of
Mexico and South American states.
The odor is not deemed by them in the
least offensive.

Aiming q Revolver.

It is peculiar fact that very few
men, even accomplished shots, know
how revolver ought to be handled.
Nearly all are taught to handle re-
Yolyer as II it were q rife-.that Is, by
bringing the object aimed at and the
fore and hind sight into line. This Is
all well enough for shooting gallery
practice, but should never be followed
in the field. When training troops to
use the revolver they are taught in
aiming, never to look at the weapon
at all, but to keep their eyes on the
object to be struck. In quick firing,
end specially In shooting from horse
beck, much better results are obtain
able In this way.

AS a whole, Mr.. Bryan's Mad
son Square Garden speech, in SO
far as it dwelt with the estab-
lished creed of Democracy, has
met with the approval of Demo
Gratis all over the country. Some
of the most prominent men in
the party, however, including
Senator Bailey, Senator McLau-
rim, Representative John Sharpe
Williams. and Representative
Livingston, are not prepared to
endorse the personal views Of
the Nebraska orator in favor Of
government ownership and oper-
alton of railroads. It should be
clearly understood that Mr.. Bry-
an did not put his view on this
subject forward as. the doctrine
of his party, but merely as the
expression of his personal opin-
ion that he was inclined to hold.
He made it clear that he was ex-
pres ing only his individual
views and expressly said that he
did not know that a majority of
his party favored government
ownership. This was a recogni-
ton of the fact that if govern
ment ownership ever becomes an
issue to which the Democratic
party is committed it must be
made so by majority of the
party, speaking through a ma
tional convention. Unless in
the meantime, Mr.. Bryan shall
be convinced that government
ownership would put too much
power in the hands Of the FEEDER
al government, it is possible that
he may endeavor to have his par
ty declare for it in the next ma
tlonal convention. II he fails it
will not be an issue in the cam
paign and whether Mr.. Bryan or
some other. Democrat shall be
the Presidential candidate the
campaign will be fought on the
platform of the party and not on
the private views of any individ-
ual. At any rate, government
ownership is not in any way an
issue in the present campaign
and conservative Democrats who
do not agree with Mr.. Bryan
viii not be misled by the Repub..
llcan construction that the way
to eliminate this question from |
politics, once for all is to vote
the Republican ticket this fall.
