RELIGIOUS NOTES.

Rev. Ferdinand g. Rockwell has resigned
the pastorate Of the Sheridan Park Metho-
dist church, Chicago, as we'll as the min
istry, and will engage in commercial pur-
suits. His reasons are, In substance, as
follows: Preaching the gospel does not
pay. 1 am given $500 a year by the
church. / cannot support my family in
the style 1t deserves to live on that amount
To give my children the education l think
they should have, and my wife the OPP
p~ortunity she desires In her line of work,
l need $4,000 a year. I cannot get 1t In
the church. l am going where | can"
When Rev. DR.. Corky of Londonderry,
Ireland, arises on Sunday to eXpound the

sciousness that on the same day in eight
other Presbyterian pulpits his eight sons
are performing a similar Christian service.
One OF the best and most beloved men
in the Baptist denomination, Rev. DR.. Il.

Since 1868 he had been connected with this

theological dlsputations arose, and shaping
ministerial ideals by his beauty of charac-
ter and high example.
There is much satisfaction among the
alumni of Union university, Schenectady,

DR.. Charles A. Richmond as president OF
that noted institution of learning. DR..
Richmond has for the last fifteen years

in that city and throughout northern New

from whom the facts used in this article
were obtained, saw four on the same jour

gers. The pair merely turned their heads
to look at the train. At another point
in the panorama he saw a female lion

breaks cover. The charge Of the buffalo
is like a thunderbolt, and a lunge from its
horns is nearly always fatal. even IL the

Two Kinds of Lions.
There is a distinction in Africa between
ordinary lions and "man-eaters." The
ordinary lion does not wilfully attack man.
The presence of lions roaming at night on
the veldt is not disturbing to any native
nor to whites who have come to under
stand the beast. Persons returning to their
camps after nightfall do not notice the
roaring Of lions or the cries of leopards
and hyenas. 1t is seldom that people bent
upon domestic errands carry weapons in
the darkness, although at night the veldt
Of British East Africa is alive with roam
ing beasts, which may be heard from the
verandas of the houses. Lions give the
passing man a wide berth, day or night,
when 1t is apparent that he means no mis-
chief. An ordinary lion, even when
wounded, will try flight before fight. When
It's escape is disputed, 1t will, especially II
wounded, try to maui its enemy with teeth
and claws. A lion hunt is usually a chase
In which the hunters goad the game into
combat. Once a lion has tasted human
blood, however, 1t is no more afraid Of
man, but learns that he is the weakest of
animals and the choicest of meat. Such a
lion is known as a man-eater because now
he hunts man.
The wild dogs OF Africa are more feared
by the natives than any other beasts, for
while they are not to be dignified by the
term of game, they run in packs and seem
to know that the native is afraid of them.
Native burden-bearers will often take their
chances in passing around a buffalo herd
and will hardly notice a lion, but when
they hear the howl of the wild dogs they
drop whatever they may be balancing on
their heads and take to the trees. There
they are frequently held captive until their
cries summon assistance. Crossing the trail
Of large game, these dogs often interfere
with the pursuit. At a distance the hunter
is likely to mistake them for leopards or
some of the smaller game. Intense disgust
follows the wounding of a wild dog. for
then, according to the ethics of the chase,
the true sportsman must pursue and kill
the beast. These dogs are not degenerates,
but are natural mongrels. They have low
bodies covered with hair of coach dog
, growth, bushy tails and powerful jaws.

Some of the students OF the High school
are talking Latin since the recent prepara-
ton and production Of a Latin play. The
plan OF giving a play to show the life and
customs of the ancient Romans was de-
vised by Miss Susan Paxson, one of the
Latin teachers, several years ago, and the
fruits Of her steadfast and earnest en-
leavors are now being shown among the
members of the present junior and senior
classes.
The realization of the fact that Latin
was once a spoken language and is now
highly valuable, at least indirectly, has
resulted from the work of the students on
he two original plays Miss Paxson has
composed, and their added interest in and
familiarity with the language is demon
strated by the fact that they are even
carrying on little conversations in the once
hated language that was considered at that
time only a prosy, despised and neglected
nuisance.
"Gallia est" has been almost forgotten
since the advent Of the Latin plays and the
High School Latin society. which gave
rise to them, No longer is It supposed that
the stock in trade of the Latins was princi-
pal parts, declensions, roots, derivations
and conjugations, or that that ancient and
Rotaple idtt ul IoAAthB uuA tNLuuSt wars
and emit orltons. A great insight into the
daily life and history of the people has
been derived, and the instructors of the
language at the High school even assert
that their pupils are learning to think in
the Language, so marked was the success
OF the last play and the skill shown in
taking TIE various parts.
Perfect pronunciation, full and correct
costuming and careful attention TO details
are said TO have characterized the pToduc-
ton, which was in charge OF Miss Paxson,
who has been gathering the material and
writing the play for two years. So many
interested parents and friends Of the stu
dents taking part In the play were unablel
to witness 1t last Wednesday, when il was
given, that it is to be repeated again on
Monday afternoon OF this week.
"a Roman Wedding. SO r. c." as the
play is called. tells the story OF the be-
trothal and marriage of two young people
OF prominent families in Rome at that
time. incidentally, 1t brings out many
points about the customs and life OF the
period that prove decidedly interesting.
Following is the synopsis and cast Of char
lcters as It was printed for distribution
among the audience;

blackboard is not avoided as long as It is
moving. They have learned that the gun
cannot be aimed with accuracy from a
jolting vehicle on an African road. The
instant the blackboard stops. however,
every beast within range will scamper fo7

with domestic science and other studies
that are easily prepared and more in
teresting than Latin to the average stu
dent, 1t is becoming necessary to arouse
interest in the study of Latin by other
than the regular means explains Miss
Paxson In discussing her reason for writ
ing the plays. when we demonstrate
that there is something more than forms
and translations in the study, we create
a growing interest that benefits the pupil"
A name not only for Miss Paxson. but
also for the Omaha Latin department and
the High school in general has been made
by the two plays and the other work of
the Latin society. The other teachers of
the society are Miss Snyder, Miss Peterson,
Miss Rooney and Miss Shields.

the Cannon ball which Is equal in
fertility to the noted Morton coun-
ty lands in North Dakota, which
have in the past few years been
converted into thousands of homes
for settlers.
The territory to be opened covers
in South Dakota portions of the
counties Of Armstrong, Schnasse,
Dewey AMI Corson, and North
Dakota the county of Morton. In
this state the only organized coun-
ty is Corson, which lies along the
northern boundary Of the state, but
the new settlers will not be long
in securing organization for the
other counties after they get To-
Gated, and there will be no wild
west plays in the work Of settle
ment, but within a short time
the machinery of local govern
ment will be working as smooth
ly in the new counties as It is in
any Of tn counties Of the older
eastern states.
The Dakota towns which have
been chosen as places for regis
tration for the big Dakota land
lottery will make great prepara-
tions to care for the many thous-
ands of people who will register.
Five Of these towns are in South
Dakota and one is in North Dako-
ia, the list having been selected
for registration points being
Pierre on the Chicago G. North
western road: LeBeau on tn Min
neapolis & St. Louis; and Aber-
deem, Mobridge and Lennon on
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road. Bismark on the Northern
Pacific, is the only North Dakota
point which will be able to secure
any of the favors of registration.
Aberdeen gets by far the best of
the situation, as the drawings will
be in that city, which will draw a
crowd long after the registration
is comp eted. On the registration
dates, October 4 to %, anyone who
desires can register at any Of the
points named above and with his
registration will go his name and
postofice address, and on the 25th
of October the drawing will COM
mence at Aberdeen and the holders
of the numbers up to the full num-
Der of claims on the reservation
will be notified of the number
drawn and the date when they
shall appear to make filing.
