ALL RELIGIONS IN LONDON.
faithist Community Latest Addition
 to It's Queer Scots.

The Faithist community which has established a modest footing In Bal ham, and whose comprehensive gospel ranges from the creation of man to the glory and labors of the gods and goddesses of the Etherian heavens" is the latest addition to the long list of London's religious sects, which are now almost as many as the days of the year. In London the Chinaman burns his incense stick in more than one Joss-house in the east end, the Ma hometan has his mosque, the Malayan his temple. near St. Georges street east; the Parsees worship the sun in Bloomsbury, the Mormons have a mis- sion in Islington. and in many parts of the metropolis the Buddhists and Ancestor Worshipers perform their strange rites. Of Christian sects in London there are at least 300, includ- ing the Cokelers, the disciples of Will liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe maker; the Peculiar People, who pre- fer prayer to physicians; the Sande- manians, the followers of Joanna Southcott. the prophetic serving maid; the Shakers and the Seventh Day Baptists.

HE C0TTON CROP.

Nevada County and many other parts of Arkansas will be confronted this year with partial failure in the cotton crop. It looks almost like total failure in some places and is a serious question with the farmer. Of course. the farming interests of the state as whole will not be greatly injured, at least will not feel the result to any great extent, but the individual farmer, the man with the hoe, is the one who so keenly feels the result of failure in the staple crop.
 Of course when the cotton crop fails the farmer must resort to something else. It may be working for wages or following some other pursuit-what- ever seems most convenient. It is not generally the case, however, that he can depend on some other crop of the same year. There is, generally speak ing, only one crop here. This is one of the most amentable facts which the farmer of this country has to face. For many reasons one could not blame the farmer for diversifying his crops. So many little failures in such attempts have been made that naturally he would be discouraged to think of it. but when we consider what other parts of the state are doing, there is no reason why we should not succeed in something else beside cotton if we are properly or ganized and go about what we under take with sufficient force to succeed. This is question which it seems to us the Farmers Union may as we'll con- slider as any question likely to come be- fore it. Either boil weevi, drouth or something else will cause failure in cot ton occasionally. Let us get in shape to be independent regardless of these occasional failures in cotton. There is money in cattle and hogs. There is money in berries and fruit and potatoes five can handle them quickly. There IS money in horses and mules. Many farmers realize these facts and are not dependent on cotton. The South ought always to grow cotton and grow it ex. tensively, but there is no reason why 1t should depend upon it absolutely.

A Rude Republican.

A western congressman who goes abroad each year tells of the militant republicanism of an American he met in Brussels last summer. This man, 1t appears, was merchant in a small town of Indiana. One morning they were out for a ride. and as they passed through the gates of public park their eQuipage passed that of King Leopold. which was leaving the park. Following the custom, the congress- man, as did every one else near by, except the merchant from Indiana, lifted his hat, whereupon the demo cratic Leopold also lifted his hat and bowed and smiled. The merchant sat bolt upright looking straight ahead. Know who that is!" asked the con gressman of the merchant Yes: I recognized him from his pictures. It's King Leopold" Then why didn't you bow to him as did!" The mer- chant from Indiana stiffsned in his seat and squared his shoulders. q don't bow to no kings" he said.-- Philadelphia Record.

PUSHED THE BEAR ASIDE.
Surveyor Tells of Experience He Does
 Not Care to Repeat.

To walk right up to a monster bear and try to shove it out of the way and then escape without so much as a scratch is an experience of lifetime. Harry l Engelbright found 1t so a few days ago in Diamond canyon, above Washington, says a Nevada City cor respondent of the Sacramento Bee. The young man, son of Congressman Engelbright, has just returned from the upper country, where he has been doing some surveying, and relates his thrilling experience. It was coming on dusk, at the close of the days work In the brush-lined trail he saw pro- truding what he thought were the hind quarters of some stray bovine. He walked up and gave the brute shove. It came to it's launches with snort that made his hair rise and caused him to beat hasty retreat. The big brute looked around and then shufhed off into the woods It was either asleep or else so busy eating ants from an old log that 1t failed to hear the young surveyor, whose foot steps were deadened by the thick car pet of pine needles. Later it was learned that the same bear, a monster cinnamon, had killed a dog earlier in the day. The dog ventured too close and with one blow of its paw the big beast sent 1t hurting yards away, dead as doornail.
