ETHICS OF CANNIBALISM

Capt. Edoardo Baccari. of the Ital-
ian Army, has just published a book
which has Mortified the molIycoddles
Of Europe, for it contains brilliant
defense of cannibalism. Capt. BAG
carl knows his cannibals well, for he
lived among them-lucky man.-for
long time. in the heart of the Con-
go, and it is reassuring to have his
guarantee that the tribes which feed
on human flesh are the gentlest and
most timid Of the African peoples.
He tells US that our efforts to make
these black men see the horror of
their anthropophagous diet produce
exactly the same effect upon them that
is produced upon US meat-eaters by
the efforts of vegetarians to show us
the horror of a diet of chicken wings
and beefsteaks. And he adds the
sage remark that the killing of a
chicken or a steer is attended with
no danger. while the hunt after d
man. full as it is of perils and excite
ment. lends TO the flesh of the victim
moral SAVIOR which every ardent
sportsman will understand.
The gourmets OF the Congo assured
Capt. Baccari that the flesh of white
men was 'insipid, watery and Of poor
flavor" Perhaps that is why he lived
to write the tale
These cannibaIs never allow their
women to eat human flesh. So even
in Darkest Africa does the tyrant man
keep all the best things of life from
his wives and from his daughters.

BISHOP GRAY AT GRACE CHURCH

There were great doings at Grace
Episcopal church Sunday morning.
The bishop was there and besides de-
liveriug a strong sermon on the min
istrY. he confirmed a class Of six.
Bishop Gray's sermon was founded
on the words Of the Bible and was
an unanswerable plea for the subject
he discussed. OF course. IN this dis
course he contended Christ chose his
disciples. They in turn chose their
successors or bishops and so il has
continued down to the present day.
with the Episcopal church. He spoke
OF the efforts Of the Episcopal church
TO bring about unity Of all churches
along these lines, and while the for
nation Of sentiment toward this end
was slow and the movement Almost
imperceDtible. yet ne believed it was
coming.
His impressive sermon was listened
TO with the deepest interest After
the sermon the following persons We're
confirmed: Mrs. c. H. Lloyd. Miss
Hope Robinson, Miss Byrd Wartmann,
Miss Hazel Campbell. Miss Veda
Campbell and Mr.. HILBERT weathers
Bishop Gray in his opening remarks
referred with pleasure to the inn
provemepts made in the church and
said 1t showed unity and purpose
that was most commendabIe and
while he regretted the organ was not
quite ready for use, 1t could not be
helped.

TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS REWARD

Ocala. Fla. Dec. IL. 1908.
Editor Star-Kindly give me space
in your valuable paper to an article
signed "One of the Fiends,s appear
ing in the Banner.
The writer regrets very much that
anyone should have been offended by
the word ''F1end." as it was not my
intention TO offend anyone The word
was not used in its dictionary mean
ing. but in the prevalent sense in
which IL is now used. as newspaper
fiend. cOca-c0la fend. etc.
Ii is somewhat surprising to note
that every time anyone makes a sug-
gestion. somebody will jump up and
talk about liberty and the eonstitu-
ton Is il taking any liberty from
you to ask you to support your home
product, or that you build up your
town, city or county? I guess not;
nor do you or anyone else think so.
The following clipping will give you
an idea Of what money spent at home
will accomplish and what money sent
away means:
Ten years ago a farmer put his in
itials on a dollar bill The next day
he went to the nearest town and
spent it with a merchant Before the
year was out he got the dollar bill
back. -Four times in six years that
dollar came back TO him for produce,
and three times he heard of it in the
pockets ~ his neighbors.
"The last time he got it back, four
years ago, he sent it to mail-order
house. He never has setn that dol
lar since-and never will. That dollar
bill will never pay any more school
tax for him. will never build or bright
en- any Of the houses of the commun-
ity. He sent it entirely out of the
circle Of usefulness to himself and his
neighbors when he sent II to a mail
order house.
Z "Patronize your local merchant, who
helps you pay your taxes, supports
your schools and churches and lends
a helping hand in times of sickness
and trouble"
You ask why merchants go north to
buy their goods, also why they should
act as ENJOYS when a 2-cent stamp
will serve the same purpose? In re-
ply will say the merchants go to the
northern markets to make their selec-
tons so as TO be able TO offer the pub
lie the very latest weaves at the low
est prices.
will give s25 to any charitable in
stitution if 1 cannot duplicate and sell
you for less money any article adver-
tised by any mail-order house in my
line.
My first article was not intended as
a command, but as simple and just
request that you patronize home in
dustries. Trusting that this will close
any further discussion, l beg TO re-
main, Very truly.

otherwise. l can't eat dozen mince pies"
"Nor can l." said he, laughing.
cts pity there isn't some to help us" said
Mrs. Meford, highly pleased with the novelty of
the situation.
DIR. Estcourt paused, and his heart gave sud

"SheP' Oh doctorp'
"On my honor" he said, earnestly, 81 never

She works hard lives alone and will spend her

"Why I should be very pleased indeed" said
Mrs. Meford "and you won't mind my joke, [

Nora was not at home until the evening, and
for the evening DR.. Estcourt had to wait with what
patience he might. Nora was just settling down
by the fire for a read when there was knock at
her door, and in walked the young physician.

it all alone tomorrow, while she would be trans

only felt it, and did not realize that she felt

thought of spending Christmas in company-and

people, unrelated to each other, all solitary, and
all coming together on Christmas day. Well, she
