Iron safes being hard to obtain, and his subjects being in many cases adroit thieves, the King of Anam some time ago resorted to an ingen- ious method of safeguarding his treasures. Tn the interior of his pal ace the king caused large tank to be constructed, which he kept constant ly filled with water Se>-cral teak logs were bored out, and in the holes he packed his Jewels and treasures. The holes were then closed and the logs put into the tank. A number of large crocodiles were placed in the tank and kept on short rations, so that any thief who attempted to get at the treasure would be tempting meal.

General Drudc's Lessen.
(New York Press.)


 As a punitive agent General Drude, the commander of the French forces In and around Casablanca, seems to have been a decided success. This French man is something more than soldier. He is a diplomat. In the one capacity and the more important one--he taught the Morocco tribesmen some lessons in modern warfare that they will not be likely to forget In hurry and by mil ltant evangelism he seems to have thrown a strong ray of light, accompa- nied by rifle and gun fire, on their mis- guided belief that to die In warfare is to be transported straight to their par tlcular heaven. In fact, the force of his text was borne in upon Ntheir fanaticai spirits before the little war was half over, and there was noteworthy dis inclination on the part of the tribesmen to indulge in their showy ''rushes' on the French ft rces as soon as General Drude had shown them that his Frankish sol- diery could hit as well as shoot.

YES1ERDAY,S TOTE.

The voting in New Haven yesterday showed some of the dissatisfaction that is felt with the machine" and the machine methods. This dissatis- faction has been existing and grow ing for some time. It is not asserted, or felt, that the New Haven machine is anything like, or much like, the ferocious and predatory political ma chimes that have been coming to grief in other cities. But it is asserted and felt that 1t is machine which pre- vents free action in politics, and so is against the best interests of the com munity and the true theory of local self-government.
 The vote of yesterday will be care fully analysed" by all concerned, and though a willy old politician of this region once advised an ambitious young politician not to spend much time in analyzing votes, there is some times instruction in It. This seems to be one of the times

MORE INTERFERENCE

Business is going to be interfered with some more by the paternal gov ernment of the United States and this time in way that wont draw much criticism except from those who ought to be hurt Dr, Harvey w. Wiley, di- rector of the governments machinery for the enforcement of the pure food act, is busily engaged preparing cases against manufacturers who have vio- lated it's provisions, and will soon turn them over to the Attorney General for presentation in the courts. These cases are numerous, and are expected to give the Department of Justice plenty of additional work during the next few months.
 It Is cheering to know that ninety five per cent of the manufacturers of the country have readily yielded to the regulations prescribed by the De- partment of Agriculture, and it is also cheering to know that the other five per cent. are going to be made to yield With the prices paid for food, it certainly ought to be pure, and 1t ought to be pure because impure food Is not good for people.

spnrAn1Na MISSIONARIES.

Mormons have been treated pretty well in Europe. They have so many and such queer religions there that one more doesn't make much differ- ence. But 1t appears that even in tol- erant Europe there can be too much Mormon. Some Mormon missionaries have been taken to the frontier of Saxony and urgently showed out of the country. It seems that there have been no less than one hundred and fif- ty Mormon missionaries at work in the various German States and their river baptisms were gaining thousands of converts. So the German authorl- ties noticed the spread of Mormonism and they are now engaged In spread ing the Mormon missionaries. The talk is that the teachings of the mis- slonaries are a menace to social order and contrary to public morality
 A good many in this country will think that even if "the authorities" here don't feel obliged to treat Nor mon missionaries as they are treated in Germany they can afford to be more watchful of them and of the growth of their religion. This is a free country, but it can be too free.

 It is astonishing that the medical pro- fession has discovered nothing incon- gruous in the placing of It's hospitals. It is safe to say that in at least 50 per cent. of the instances the buildings de- voted to the cure of the i'll and treat ment of the injured arc so situated as to increase the difficulty of cure and treatment that Is, In the city.
 Indeed, it Is almost rule that hos pltal shall be built in a populous, un- quiet district, with the windows of its wards opening directly upon streets whence arise not only disturbance, but dust and germs. One of the first re- quirements in the successful treatment of most diseases is to secure for the pa- tient quiet, sunlight and fresh air, Tho city hospital offers noise, darkness and air thnt has blown across acres of fao- tories and tenements, and that comes in at the doors laden with the odors of tile pavement.

4 N0TABLE GATHERING.

The great congress of religious lib- erals, which has just closed its ses- sions in Boston, has made decided impression in religious circles, judg- ing by the widely spread comments found in the daily press, and espe- cially in religious journals. Possibly it is yet too early to gather up the results of the congress with feeling of certainty as to their permanent character. A number of eminent men have spoken whose influence on re- ligious thinking has long been known and acknowledged. One of the most interesting addresses was that of Prof. Edouard Montet of the University of Geneva, who spoke on John Calvin. After considering the striking differ- ences between the theological thinking of John Calvin and the liberal school, the speaker proceeded to present the pOluS tO pO Aouilu ueIWeen SdiVln ana Unitarianism. This seemed to be a surprise to some who had always supposed that there are no especially important ties between the system of Calvin and Theodore Parker, for in- stance, the most radical and liberal of the early Unitarian leaders. It is in- teresting to learn that the liberal re- ligious thinkers of Geneva are to erect monument to John Calvin in 1909, and the Boston congress passed a resolution to that effect A monu- ment has already been raised, in 1903, to the memory of Servetus, whose re- ligious teaching Calvin had condemn ed, and who was put to death by the initiative of Calvin.
 Another speaker of interest was Prof. Otto Pheiderer of the University of Berlin, whose discourse was upon 'the tendency of positive religions to universal religion" The books of Dr. Pfleiderer are well known to every theological student of inqutring mind, and the address was of the same ponderous, thorough character, fam iliar to his readers, but 1t must be confessed that he dealt more with the philosophy of religion, rather than religion itself. This naturally, would be expected of him. In fact it may be added that much that was presented by this congress was in the nature of the history and philosophy of religion more than an enlighten- 1nent concerning the spiritual charac- ter of religion and especially the Christian religion.
 The closing words of Prof Fielder CT, after the heavier portion of his discourse, were words of prophetic sort and of a fine optimism: "rhose who have fallen out so completely with the faith of the churches thaf they are in danger of losing all re- ligion whatever we will try to lead tC the understanding that the thing! which are an offense and a stumbling block to them are in reality only tht temporary and perishable shells whicl contain the precious pearls of eterna truth for him who looks not upon tn, visible, but upon that which is invisi ble and eternal. If we thus speak tn, truth in love, we shall not increas strife, but will prepare the way for { peaceful and wholesome solution O the present crisis of Christianity-i

HERBERT c. FULLtR.

The death of Herbert c. Fuller closes the earthly career of one who was exceptionally diligent in business and thoroughly faithful to important trusts. Broken down by work and worry, he sought recuperation in rest, but it was too late, and at compar- atively early age he paid the penalty of unremitting attention to his duties, He was man who had large knowl- edge of the principles Of insurance and much skill in the application of them. He was in all ways good eiti- zen, and had the confidence and re- spect of all who knew his sturdy, up- right and conscientious character.

Gradation.

Heaven Is not reached at single
 bound; But we build the ladder by which we
 rise From the lowly earth to the vaulted And we mount to It's summit round by
 round. I count this thing to be grandly true, That noble deed is a step toward Lifting the soul from the common
 clod To purer air and broader view. We rise by the things that are under
 feet, By what we have mastered of good
 and gain. By the pride deposed and the passion And the vanquished ills that we hourly
 meet, We hope, We aspire, we resolve, we
 trust, When the morning calls us to life But our hearts grow weary, and ere
 the night Our lives are trailing the sordid dust We hope, we resolve, we aspire, we
 pray, And we think that we mount the air
 on wings Beyond the recall of sensual things, While our feet still cling to the heavy
 clay. Wings for angels, but feet for men We may borrow the wings to find the
 way
 We may hope, and resolve, and aspire
 and pray; But our feet must rise or we fall again. Only in dreams is ladder thrown From the weary earth to the sapphire
 walls;
 But the dreams depart and the wis.,
 ion falls. And the sleeper wakes on his pillow of stone. Heaven is not reached at single bound;
 But we build the ladder by which we rise
 From the lowly earth to the vaulted skies, And we mount to it's summit, round by round.

c Y,r MAKE THEM srAT PUT

You can lead horse to water but you cannot make him drink You can also lead an immigrant to a certain State, but you cannot make him stay there Senator Latimer of South Car olina regards State assisted immigra- tion as a failure. Of the five hundred or six hundred immigrants brought into Charleston last winter, but few remain in the State The rest have scattered to other sections, attracted by higher wages or more agreeable in- dustrial conditions. The senator de- clares that the $2O,OOO subscribed to gay the passage of the immigrants was a total loss.
 So fades another bright hope It looked reasonable enough that if an immigrant was properly and expen- sively led, and kindly treated, he would stay put" But they who thus thought reckoned without human na- ture, which is always existent and per sistent. Immigrants know what they want, and many of them seem we'll able to get it.

DEATH OF THE COLQUITT chill

The great, overwhelming grief of Mr.
and Mrs, Walter Colquitt in the tragic
death of their beloved children, Fannie
Lee and Pennie, has wrung the hearts
of the community with deepest sympa-
thy. How grievous and how cruel does
it seem that such fate should over
take the young and innocent in going
their accustomed way Not thinking
of danger, along the great railroad
highway, they were nearing their home
when run upon and crushed by a train
Of pondrous cars Those who saw the
accident rushed to the rescue, but only
to see the nangled forms of the sweet
children, and bear them to the horror
stricken parents, whose grief was over
whelming.
Death indeed walks with us. 1t is the
shadow always at our side. but it is
harder to accept when it comes by vio-
lence
The sympathy and prayers of every
heart in Shreveport goes out to the
deeply afflicted parents and other
grieved relatives.
