ously the necessity OF an early return
Nearly half of the food allowance
had been used. In the long marches
supplies had been more literally used
than anticipated. and now our dog
teams were much reduced in numbers.
A hard necessity had forced the cruel
law of the survival Of the %fittest. for
the less useful dogs were fed to the
steady working survivors. Owing to
the food limits and the advancing sea-
son we could not prudently continue
the outward march a fortnight longer.
We had dragged ourselves 300 miles
over the polar sea in twenty-four days.
Including delays and detours. this gave
an average of nearly thirteen miles
daily on an air line in our course.
There remained an unknown line of
16O miles before our ambitions could
be satisfied. The same average ad-
vance which we had made on the pack
would take US to the pole in thirteen
days. There were food and fuel enough
to risk this adventure.

A GRFAT LAYMAk'S MEETING

To the Lay Leaders and Preach
ers of the Prescott District of
the M. E. Church, South:
Dear Brothers: The greatest
meeting for the education and
training of Lay Leaders that will
come this way soon will be held
at Hot Springs, Arkansas, on the
10th, 18th and 18th of August,
1909. Some of the most promi-
nent and able leaders in this
movement will be present. 1t IS
the earnest desire of our leaders
that at least one representative
layman from each church in the
Prescott District attend this
great meeting. If you miss It.,
you will miss the greatest op-
portunity that has ever been Of
fered for you to learn the great
plans and purposes of the Lay
mems Missionary Movement that
is attracting so much attention
in the church and has declared
it's intention of carrying the
gospel of Jesus Christ to the
whole world in this generation.
1t is not far and the expense will
not be much but your reward
will be great.
Brothers. for the sake of our
own consciousness of a duty we'll
performed and for the sake Of
Him who has done so much for
Us, let US lay aside all trifing ex-
cuses and gather mighty host
of Christian workers at Hot
Springs on Tuesday the 10th of
August.
At this meeting the plans and
purposes of the work will be
fully explained and the workers
receive a training that they cam
not otherwise receive. Please
come.
Yours,
J. O. A. Bush.

attempts of President Taft to
compel some pletense to be made
of keeping the unequivocal
pledges made during the cam

HUMAN LIFE QUOTED CHEAP

Human life is still quo tea
cheap.
It is too easily taken ana the
taking too rarely punished.
Statistics that have been kept
in Arkansas SHOW that the homl-
cides in this state will average
one a day-and the number of
cases in which the extreme
penalty of the law is visited up
on the guilty person is negligible.
1t may not amount to what
the vivid writers for the press
denominate "a carnival of crime"
but it is too near that for the
good of the state.
When killing becomes a bust
ness it is time to call halt and
see if something can be done to
check the habitual taking of
human life.
The Commercial Appeal has
the following most pertinent edi-
torials on the subject setting
forth facts that should drive
home to every reader some of
the menaces of the murder-fest:
They have gone to killing men
by shooting over a judges
shoulder.
They kill them in the court
room.
They kill them in the presence
of mother.
United States senators have to
Jump lively to escape the lying
bullets.
The business of killing goes
merrily on from New Orleans to
Cairo and from Little Rock to
Bristol.
The killers each day become
a little more reckless of conse-
quences.
They are beginning to regard
killing as divine right.
They care nothing for the law.
And they care nothing for the
law because the law has become
so weakened by the lawlessness,
or inefficiency, or the timidity of
those elected to enforce it and
of those put in the jury box to
vindicate it.
Will the man who killed the
other man in the office of a
Judge, in the presence of the
dead mans mother, De hanged?
Will the men who took negro
out af Jail in Henry County be
punished?
Will Deeson, who murdered
his wife, he killed by a sheriff
after reading death warrant to
him.
Will a single murderer of Ran
kin die at ropes end?
Will water run uphill, or will
it snow in Memphis in July?
The same word answers all of
these questions.

The Weight of Touch.

A wonderful instrument is that
which has recently been invented for
the purpose OF measuring the sense
of touch. The device consists of a
series of little disks, suspended by
fine, delicate threads from wooden
handles, the last being stuck into
holes around block. The lightest
disk is taken out and brought into
contact with the skin of the subject,
the latter having closed his eyes. II
nothing Is felt heavier disk is en-
ployed, and so on until the pressure
becomes noticeable. Through the
medium of these disks it has been
found that the sense of touch is acute
on the forehead and temple. A touch
of disk weighing three one-hun-
dredths of grain was observable
on the temple; one weighing five one
hundredths on the nose or chin, and
one weighing nine on-hundredths on
the inside of finger.-Pathfinde
