An End Missing.

An Irishman who served on board
a man-of-war was selected by one Of
the officers to haul in a towline of con-
siderable length that was towing over
the taffrail. After pulling in 40 or so
fathoms, which had put his patience
severely to proof, as well as every
muscle of his arms, he muttered to
himself:
Surely it's as long as to-day and to-
morrow. It's good weeks work for
any five in the ship. Bad luck to the
leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What,
more of it yet? Och, murder! The
says mighty deep, to be sure!"
After continuing in similar strain
and conceiving there was little prob
ability of the completion of his labor,
he suddenly stopped short, and, ad-
dressing the officer of the watch, ex-
claimed: bad manners to me, sir, If
don't think somebody's cut off the
other end of it!"-The Pathfinder.

Eaypt's Wonderful Progress.

The progress of Egypt's commercial
development in the last 20 years has
been most marked. The cotton crop
alone in that time has more than dou-
bled. In spite of the large reductions
of taxation the revenue last year was
the largest ever. collected in one year.
The great wealth of Egypt lies in her
agricultural esources-cotton, oil
seeds, sugar and other crops. These,
in turn, depend upon the Nile food.
With the Nile regulated and under
control by the immense system OF
reservoirs and dams, with fellaheen
freed from excessive taxation, and
with a network of light railways, rem
dering the produce of the country &C.
cessible to foreign markets, the pros
pect of Egypt is placed on more
solid basis than in the past

Church To Be Improved.

The First Baptist church of Camden
is preparing to erect large addition
to it's building for Sunday school pur-
poses. An annex will be extended

flee sufficiently large to furnish sep
arate class room for the Sabbath

services A basement with toilet rooms
and gymnasium is also in contempla-
ton. The estimated cost of the whole
is from $4,000 to $1,000. A church

MARRIAGE AS AN INSTITUTION.
Regulations Concerning Matrimony
Derived from Canon Law.

There could hardly be more profit
able undertaking for young man
and young woman who contemplate
matrimony than a study of marriage
as historic institution. 1t would
show them better than almost any,
thing else could do their relations to
society and to the state, says the
Youths Companion, and would give
them personal understanding of what
the minister means when, in the be-
ginning of the ceremony, he says, mot
by any to be entered into unadvisedly
or lightly"
The laws of marriage in all Chris
tian countries are derived from the
canon law, that is the law established
by the Christian church in the Middle
Ages. This law was based upon the
Roman civil law, influenced to a con-
siderable degree by Teutonic ideas.
Marriage laws are also Influenced, and
In some countries controlled, in re-
spect of marriage within certain de-
grees of relationship or affinity, by the
laws of Moses, contained in the book
OF Levitfcus. Gradually some of these
prohibitions have been relaxed In
the recent case of the deceased Wife's
sister act of England it was matter
of controversy whether the Mosaic law
forbids such marriages.
The purpose of all statute law, as
applied to marriage, is now and has
always been primarily the protection
of the state, and secondarily the safe
guarding of the rights of the contract
ing parties. The Roman Catholic
church regards marriage as a sacra-
ment. The Protestant churches of
western Europe reject this theory, and
in order to lessen or prevent secret
marriages, demand that the consent Of
parents be obtained.
Even in Roman Catholic countries
to-day marriage is governed by civil
legislation. The civil marriage has
ben said, indeed, to be the great in
novation of the nineteenth century.
In most Catholic countries two serv-
ices are performed. The religious
ceremony complies with the theory
that marriage is a sacrament the civil
ceremony with the theory that it is
contract. In these countries the civil
ceremony alone makes the marriage
valid. The church ceremony alone
does not.

DATES FIXED FOR EXECUTION
Dave kinsloW and Sim Strong to Be
Hanged May 1-kinsIoW Hanging
to Be First in Garland County
History.

Little Rock, Ark.-Governor Pindall
Tuesday set the date for the hanging
of Dave Kinslow and Sim Strong, two
negroes who have been sentenced to
execution by hanging for murder in
the first degree. Kinslow will be hang
ed at Hot Springs Friday, May 1, and
Strong will die on the same date at
Mariana
The governor fixed the dates in
proclamations, one issued in each
case, and he stipulates that each OF
the men shall be hanged near the
county jail. The details of the hang
ing will be arranged by the sheriff
who is warned by the governor to
execute his task without fail
The hanging of Dave Kinslow, it is
said, will be the first execution by
hanging in the history of Garland
county. Kinslow will be executed in
the county Jail yard at Hot Springs,
and it is thought that the hanging
will attract large crowds of people
from all over that county
Kinslow was convicted November
IS, 1907, in the Garland County Cir
cult Court of the crime of murder
in the first degree. He was SEN
fenced to be hanged December II.
His case was appealed to the SUI
preme Court, however, and the lat
ter court heard the case, unfolding
the judgment of the lower court Kins-
low then asked for a rehearing, but
this was refused, and it was then
up to the governor to set the date
for the hanging, the date set by the
lower courts having passed
The history of the Sim Strong case
is almost identical with that of the
Kinslow case. Sim Strong was con-
victed October Is by the Lee County
Circuit Court of murder in the first
degree, and was sentenced to be hang
ed December %. He appealed, and
the Supreme Court in his case also
upheld the judgment of the lower
court. His motion for rehearing was
also denied by the Supreme Court
Monday.

Buying Medicine When Right Food

Money spent for "tonics" and "brac-
ers" to relieve indigestion, while the
poor old stomach is loaded with pas
try and pork, is worse than losing a
pocketbook containing the money.
If the money only is lost it's bad
enough, but with lost health from

money back.

drugs but is thankful she found a
way to get back her health by proper
