derOus hand is stayed, and he runs
from the scene.
Again we see him gathered around
the gay festive board with worldly
men and fast women. Wine flows
freely, and music, prostituted to an
immoral purpose, thrills every fibre
Of his being.
In the midst of the revelry a mes
senger comes with telegram. One
of the women present snatches it
from his hand and refuses to give it
up except at the price of a kiss. He
pays the price amidst the slapping Of
hands. Carelessly he opens the en-
velOpe and reads the message. His
face blanches and he sinks into a
chair. 1t is a message from his
sweetheart announcing the death of
his mother. 'And her last words
were: Where is my boy tonight?' 3"
The alarmed guests sit like stones.
The woman whom he had kissed
picks up the message and reads it.
Quietly all but she withdraw She,
like a devil inCarnate, tries to tempt
him to drown his sorrow in drink.
He dashes the proffered glass to the
floor and bids her leave him alone.
Saved through a mothers prayers!
But the mother prays for her
daughters as we'll as for her son.
A young woman as pure as the
rose that blossoms in the morning,
sparkling with dewdrops as it is
kissed by the first ray of the sun,
was lured away from home by the
call of the city. Subtle temptations
in thousand forms began to assail
such shining mark. Almost she
was gone when her mother, little sus-
pecting the impending tragedy,
bowed before God in prayer The
wine glass dropped from her hands
and shattered into fragments, but she
was saved through a mothers pray
ers.
A young man who had been called
to serve his city was being intro
duced at a public gathering as one
who had resisted all the foundations
of the city. He arose and said:
Gentlemen, if ! have escaped the
sins Of the day it is because hundreds
of miles away a christian mother was
praying for me. Had she not PRAYED
for me at one certain definite hour
my soul would have been in hell to-
night, and mother would lie broken
hearted in her grave. For at that
hour the greatest temptation of my
life swept down upon me in the most
subtle form and without a moments
warning. To have yielded would
have been irretrievable ruin, and
that I was about to do when felt
within my soul that mother was pray
ing for her boy. / sprang to my feet
and shouted, Saved, thank God!'
with as deep meaning as ever a ship
wrecked mariner shouted it when
saved from watery grave"
Saved thank God, through q moth
er's prayersl

Saved Through a Mothers Prayer.
BY J. stokeley Hunt in The Waterman.

AS old as the story of sinful boys,
which includes the first boy ever
born on earth, is the story of moth
er's prayers for her wandering boy.
Since Cain went out into the world,
a stranger in a strange land, marked
as the murderer of his own younger
brother, boys have wandered away
from the old home in pursuit of bus
mess or pleasure or sin.
But no boy has ever gone from a
christian home without carrying with
him, wherever he went on land or
sea, the prayers of a loving mother
And as old as is the story of wan
dering boys is the story of a mothers
unfailing love and the power of a
mothers prayers.
A young man of fine traits of char
acter, who had always been the pride
of his mothers heart, left the old
country home to accept a position
in the city, where he could better
provide for his widowed mother. He
left with her blessings upon his head
and also the blessings Of a sweet
maiden who had promised some day
to be his bride. His prospects were
rOseate, his aspirations were high,
and his resolution was fixed that
never should his gray-haired mother
shed a tear over any misdeed of his,
and to so live that the pure girl that
he left behind would be justly proud
to become his wife.
All went well for awhile, but, alas!
the tempter came.
His business associates were gen.
ial and apparently without a flaw
They introduced him to others like
themselves. A lonely youth in a
strange city, naturally fond of COM
pany, he was easily led on, step by
step, without suspecting whittier he
was drifting. First the social game
of cards-shall l say it?-yes, at the
home of MS Sunday school teacher
Then came the theater and light wine
at the banquet table,
I saw him leave the office in the
evening, going straight to his room
to write his mother Alas! the
tempter never sleeps He was met
and warmly greeted by some COM
panions.. One proposed a social glass
at the bar on the corner. He re-
fused. They insisted and ridiculed
Mammals baby boy" He was final
Iy urged into the door, but refused
to touch the glass that he knew
sparkled with a reflection from the
flames of torment AS he was about
to yield a vision rose before him of
a gray-haired mother upon her knees
and a sweetheart holding out a
pleading hand. He dashed the glass
to the floor Again his companions
ridiculed, and one loosely forced
glass to his lips.
The demon of thirst began it's
work.
See him now at the card table,
beside himself with drink and the
excitement of the game. A dispute
arises, a scuff1e ensues, and his hand
is lifted to strike the fatal blow.
But a hundred miles away his
mother kneels in prayer. The MUIR

ANIMALS THEIR OWN DOCTORS.
How They Treat Themselves When
Sick or Wounded.

Sick or Wounded.
With the brute creation the sim
pie remedies of nature generally
suffice for the few ailments of ami
mails, and they are guided to them
by instinct. The mongoose cures
himself when bitten by a cobra, by
eating a certain plant, and many per-
sons have seen a sick dog bury him
self in the dirt
Animals instinctively choose such
food as is best suited to them A
large number of the brute family
wash themselves and battle, as ele-
plants, stays, birds and ants. In
fact, man may take a lesson in hy-
giene from the lower animals Ami
mails get rid of their parasites by
using dust, mud, clay, etc. Those
suffering from fever restrict their
diet, keep quiet, seek darkness and
airy places, drink water, and some
times even plunge into it.
When dog has lost his appetite
it eats that species of grass known
as dogs grass (chiendent.) Cats
also eat grass, catnip, ETC. Sheep
and COWS when i'll seek out certain
herbs. An animal suffering from
chronic rheumatism always keeps, as
far as possible, in the sun The war
rior ants have regularly organized
ambulances.
Latreille cut the antennae of an
ant, and other ants came and COW
cred the wounded part with a trans
parent fluid secreted from their
mouths. If a chimpanzee be wound
ed it stops the bleeding by placing
! it's hand on the wound or dressing
it with leaves and grass. When an
animal has a wounded leg or arm
hanging on it completes the amputa-
| ton by means of its teeth.

CoLoRED FARMER EASY STREET
Has just Sold His Cotton Crop of
EIGHTY Bales.


John Crawford sold a lot of
eighty bales of cotton yesterday at
Councils warehouse and was paid
therefor 81 cents. John Crawford
is one of Sumter's industrious and
successful colored farmers, and the
fact that he is thus able to hold such
a quantity of cotton, eighty bales,
for higher prices when others were
accepting eight cents attests his in
dustry and business acumen. Craw-
ford owns good plantation of 500
acres, and works in the field him
self in crop season, and in conse-
quence he usually has money in the
bank instead of having to borrow it,
He makes about one hundred bales
of cotton every year, selling a few
bales along to supply his needs, and
dispOsing of the main crop when the
price pleases him. Would that Sum-
ter county had more John CrawfOrds
among it's colored citizens.-Ameri-

WIRELESS FROM TRAINS.

Recent Experiment Made in Ohio
Was Attended With Success.
Tests Of wireless teIegraphy from
moving trains, made in Ohio during
the past few days, have been attend
ed with success. This is the basis
of a prediction that the time is not
far distant when all first-cIass trains
will be required to carry wireless
operators, and that danger of col
lisions will thus be reduced to a min
imum. Some years back when the
WheatstOne automatic transmitter
was invented telegraph operators
feared that their occupation would
soon be done; but a far larger num-
Der of them are now in service than
ever before.

The board of control will make a tax levy of 5 cents on the $100 in the counties of Coconino, Yavapai, Maricopa, Yuma, Pinal. Gila and Graham and an additional levy of 10 cents on the Sl00 in Pima and Cochise with which to commence the construction of the great terri torial highway starting at Tucson running north through Florence, Mesa, Tempe.

It will be a grand scenic route passing through the richest mineral and agricultur- al country in the west and into the Mogollon mountains touching the famous Monetzuma Castle, Soda springs and Natural Bridge. It will make possible short branch roads connecting all the main points of interest in this vast country.

The new tariff bill is now law and was signed Tuesday by the President. Congress adjourned inn mediately after it was signed. President Taft took occasion to say that it was a revision downward and in the main a good bill. A tariff commission to work the year round would be a good thing. and could come nearer compiling a popular bill than congress, owing to the fact that each member has a special interest to protect and forms a combination with other members. thus the good and the bad items all go in together. It is more of a sectional than a political issue.

Thinks Samis Splendid Man.

s. B.

Samis of Iowa Falls. la. ,as grand exalted ruler of the order. Mr. Gilliland says he met MT. Samis twenty-five years ago when he first came to Iowa and was favorably impressed with him although he was a young man just out of school. About that time ar engagements were being made for a big Fourth of July celebration. MT. Gilliland being on the commit tee to select speaker for the day suggested young Samis, and he was the unanimous choice of the com mittee. The day of the commence ration it was Mr. GilIiland who in- troduced the young speaker who in less than a quarter of century was to become an orator of nation al reputation. A friendship sprang up between them, Mr. Gilliland and Mr. Samis. which has contin- ued to the present time although they have been separated for years.
