Reminded Him Of Home.

William G.. King of Kansas Cid
recently told Of the experience Of 4
Kansan crossing the Atlantic in rough
weather.
"One morning." began Mr.. King
this Kansan went out on deck when q
big gale was blowing. Nobody wa
in sight except the captain.
"'Go below there!' the captais
shouted.
1.-THE passenger looked about to SEQ
to whom he was talking.
"'You mean me?' he yelled back,
when he saw there was no one else
in sight.
"'Of course. I do: go below and the
captain came alongside.
Well, l guess not protested the
Kansan: I'm up here to see how one
of your mountain-high waves and ter.
rife gales" compare with what We
have in Kansas in the way Of cyclones.
This amt a patch to what I've seer out
Dur way
"A big wave broke over the deck.
sweeping the Kansan aft. They picked
him up with a broken leg, a twisted
shoulder, a sprained wrist and his face
looking as If it had been dragged
backward through q briar patch.
When he came to he saw the captain.
BY gravy. cap he said, feebly, that
reminded me of home, only it was q
dern sight wetter.'"

Fellowship. The Rev. John D.
Long, the Rev. Charles Vail, the
Rev., e. E. Carr, Edwin Markham.
the poet: DR.. M. Thorner,a Jewish
rabbi, and other clergymen and

In speaking of the objects of

Rev. John d. Long, secretary of

ly that the proposed broader
movement will be inaugurated by
a mass meeting to be held early
in June, to which all the profess
sional classes in greater New
York, physicians, lawyers, teach
ers, authors and clergymen will
be invited.
1T is known that large num-
berS Of these intellectual prOle-
tarians are in sympathy with
Socialism, and the organization
of the proposed alliance is to
form a body which will develop
and present the ethical and c1l-
tural sides of Socialism. seeking
likewise to create a native litera-

appeal 20 the American public.
It will be formed for a twO.fOld
purpose, one object being to

Heroic Test, but Sure.

A sufferer from nervous diseases
had been in the hands of the doctor
for many months. Last week he de.
clared his positive conviction that he
was cured.
II think. myself, that you are again
~ sound as a dollar" said the special.
list, but before l pronounce you en-
tirely well l wish to subject you to a
final test. Here are two books. Read
one of them tonight for about three
hours before you go to bed, and the
other tomorrow night. II, when you
go to sleep, you dream about the
stories you have just read, If you live
through the scenes again and see and
talk with the characters, you will have
to come back for further treatment.
But if. on the other hand, you either
do not dream at all or else dream
about something entirely different
from these books. you are a well
man"
The stories provided were of the
hair-rafsing variety, calculated to
make a deep impression upon any
man, nervous or otherwise. but the
patient laid them down at the end OF
the three-hours' session and sought a
dreamless couch. AS the result of that
test Of nerves the doctor pronounced
him cured.

One on the Purser.

Prosperity smiled on a certain man
Of Marthas Vineyard. Like all men, he
il in pursuit of happiness. So he hied
him away to a neighboring city and
purchased a fine automobile. OF course
it had to be shipped to the island on
the steamer.
A few days after the arrival Of the
machine a friend Of the proud owner
went to Boston on business. When
this friend arrived in New Bedford to
take the steamer for the Vineyard
somebody told the purser that the
gentleman in question had brought
down an automobile from Boston and
asked him, the purser, If they had
room on the steamer for the machine.
"Ah." said the genial purser. The
has got an auto, Ell? Well, we'll! When
M of those two fellows gets anything
the other fellow thinks he must have
one too. We're pretty well filled up
with freight" said he, "but suppose
we'll have to take it aboard"
With that he gave orders to clear
away the forward deck and make room
for an automobile.
A few moments after the above con-
versation Mr.. - appeared down the
gang-plank with a toy automobile un-
der his arm. which he had purchased
for his little boy who lives in Vine
yard Haven.-Vineyard Gazette.

School of Telegraphy
Organized and Opened
at the
Southwestern Louisiana
Industrial Institute,
Lafayette, La.

We have succeeded in securing the
services of Mr.. John [. Hulse, formerly
train dispatcher at Beaumont, Texas,
on the Sante Fe Railroad, to conduct
the School of Telegraphy, devoting
his entire time to this work, which will
begin December l. 1907.
The eight hour law, which will go
into effect January l, will require three
telegraph operators for all positions
where only two are now sufficient.
Therefore the demand for operators
will be greatly increased. For several
years to come no telegraph operators
will ever be out Of a job unless he
strikes.
Write to US about entering: also get
a catalOg of the Institute, with full in
formation concerning all departments.
We have a large brick main building
and two large brick dormitories, one
for each sex.

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

There could hardly be a more profit
able undertaking for a young maa
and young m who contemplate
"atrimony than a study of marriage
as a historic institution. 1t would
show them better than almost any
thing else could do their relations to
society and to the state, says tina
Youths Companion, and would give
them a personal understanding Of what
the minister means when, in the be
ginning of the ceremony, he says, mo
by any to be entered into ~unadvisedh
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 Leviticus. Gradually some of these
prohibitions have been relaxed. In
the recent cas- of the deceased wife's
sister act of England it was a matter
OF controversy whether the Mosaic law
forbids such marriages.
The purpose Of all statute law, ~
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 4 sacrament, the civil
ceremony with the theory that it is q
contract. In these countries the civil
ceremony alone makes the marriage
valid. The church ceremony alone
does not.

The Cane Crop.
Louisiana Planter:

Louisiana Planter:
The cane crop is coming on
very well all over the sugar dis
trict, although there are some
few localities where complaints
OF dry weather are still heard.
In general, however,, the crop
has had good rains, and these
rains are followed by a number
Of fair, hot days, enabling field
work to be actively carried on.
Some cane is quite far advanced,
especially stubble cane, and even
some small pieces are reported
as having been laid by, the cult.
walton having been completed on
them.

Eeypt's Wonderful Progress,

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

small cost as in Lafayette. The
present Industrial school build

poses, and there is sufficient of
the tax voted for the school yet
available to erect a model school
building. All the expense to the
State would be the salaries of
necessary teachers for instruc-

this part of the State should

The Strength of Prohibition.

~ oSsSsS8Su VI SV11lUlIlOU
New Orleans States.
There is little reason to doubt
that the recent primary in North
Carolina and it's results will be
accepted as more significant OF
the strength of the prohibition
movement in the South than the
elections that have been held
elsewhere. The conservative
spirit is as strong in North Caro-.
lima today as it was in colonial
times, hence, unlike other States,
the North Carolina Legislature
refused to pass a statutory pro.
hibition law without the sanction
of a popular vote.
The question, therefore, was
submitted, the people of North
Carolina spoke through their bal
lots, and the majority of 43, 900
for prohibition was greater than
the most sanguine advocates of
the cause expected, for they did
not look for a majority of more
than from 1900 to 10000.
Therefore. the significance of the
North Carolina primary lies in a
majority which was far in access
of all expectations.
The fightf for and against prohi-
bition was s%tubbornly conducted
and at no time during the cam
paign did the "antis "concede that
their opponents had the better of
the struggle. but, on the contra.
ry. claimed they would carry the
State. From all accounts the
"antis" were well supplied with
the snews of war. the money be-
ing furnished by liquor interests
outside the State, and in some of
the more important counties
large sums of money were spent.
