A CATHOLIC BR0ADSIDE
AGAINST RACE SUICIDE.
Clergy Of Baltimore Put Their
Strong Views Before Public In
Form Of Advertisement.

The following advertisement APP
peared recently in the Baltimore pa
pers:
AT the quarterly conference Of
the Catholic Clergy Of Baltimore, as
sembled at st. Mary's Seminary, Feb
ruary 90, 1909, the following resolu-
ton was presented and adopted:
1--WE, the Catholic priests of Balti-
more assembled in conference, view
with alarm and indignation the atti-
tude of certain influential publlca-
tions, which circulate largely in the
homes of our Catholic people. in re-
gard to the dangerous and immoral
practice of limiting families by the
arbitrary restriction Of childbirth.
when the daily newspapers begin
to spread such theories, we feel that
the time has come for plain speech on
our part, and that It is our duty to
protect the interests of the people
and to prevent them from being inoc-
ulated with such dangerous doc
trlnes. We pledge ourselves to ac-
complish this end, not only by teach
ing the truth on these subjects, but
also, when necessary, by denouncing
such publications as dangerous and
immoral.
"(Signed) o. B, CORRIGAN,
Bishop Of Macra, Chairman"
Bishop Corrigan stated that the
resolution grew out Of a series Of ar
ticles in a Baltimore newspaper.

CATCHING A LIVE HIPPO.
Harpooned While Asleep-Young
Hppos Caught by stratnsem.

There Is vast difference between
the hunter who Kills for pleasure and
the hunter whose business IL Is 10
capture his quarry alive. Carl Hag.
erbeck, the famous animal dealer, has
reduced his method Of capturing Wild
beasts to a science. The method Of
securing live hippopotamI is particu'
larly interesting.
The so-called Hawaii, or water hun
tiers, Of the Sudan, all Of whom are
excellent and daring swimmers, har-
poon their victims at the noon hour
when they are sunk In deep slumber.
Then. according to the Wide World
Magazine, they pull them 70 the bank
by means Of cord attached to the
harpoon and make them fast.
The hunters use for this a special
kind Of harpoon, made In such way
that II does not make a deep wound.
Fully three-quarters Of the hippopot'
ami exhibited in Europe have been
captured In this way.
Hippopotamus hunts are also con-
Quoted on land. There advantage Is
taken Of the fact that the female
hIppupotalmus makes her young walk
in front Of her. The reason for rhis
Is that the beast, being we'll protect
ed in the rear by her abnormally
thiok skin, prefers to have her on
spring in front. where she can guard
tnom better against danger.
In spite OF her affection tor hcr
children, the hippo has no particular
desire TO meet danger when it comes.
So the hunters dig large pits In the
forest, cover them over until theV
are fully concealed, and then lie In
wait near by.
Presently a female bippcpotamus
comes along with her child trottins
before her. Suddenly, without warn
ing, the young hippo disappears be
fore It's mothers eyes. This Is too
much for the old animal. She dsshes
away. leaving the little fellow at the
mercy OF its enemies.

only small talk, but other times
neighbor has something really good
TO offer.
An old resident Of Baird, Texas,
got some mighty good advice this
way once.
He says:

dead with. dyspepsia, kidney disease
and bowel trouble, with constant
pains in my stomach, back and side,
and 80 weak l could scarcely walk,
"One day was chatting with one
Of my neighbors about my trouble
and told her l believed coffee hurt
me. Neighbor said she knew lots OF
people to whom coffee was poison
and she pleaded with me to quit it
and give Postum a trial. l did not
take her advice right away, but tried
a change Of climate. which did not do
me any good. Then dropped coffee
and took up Postum.
"My Improvement began immedi-
ately and I got better every day
used Postum.
"My bowels became regular and in
two weeks all my pains were gone.
Now l am we'll and strong and can

over. The Nasal boy, who was fol-
lowing close beside Captain H,
with the splendid pluck Of his race,
drew his sine "a sort of sword, with
all its weight at the business end),
and hit the lion across the spine. Tho
beast simply stiffened spasmodlcally,
and before It had time to fall over the
plucky Nasal had sheathed his
weapon in the beasts shoulder three
or four times. Then we rushed up
to Captain H, who looked in a ter
rible plight; he was covered with
blood from head to foot and uncon-
scious.
I'VE had during the chase got
nearer the railway line, and could
see a train in the distance pufing
slowly up the incline toward Athi
River station. The Nasal are very
fine runners, 50 we dispatched one
Of them to stop the train, and pro-
ceeded to contrive some sort Of a lit
ter to carry Captain H in. Miss
H, with a womans wit, at once
proposed to skin a lion and use Its
hide. We accordingly started to rip
of the skin Of the very beast which
had mauled him, having first propped
up our coats over Captain H to give
him a little shade. What was our
Joy, In the middle Of our work, to
hear his voice and see him sitting up,
smiling as we'll as he could from a
face that was all blood except what
was dirt. He said he felt perfectly
we'll, and could easily walk back to
camp.
at appeared that he had simply
been stunned by the terrific fall he
had had. and that he remembered
nothing more till he woke and found
himself under a canopy of our coats.
On examining him, expecting to find
a shattered arm, we were astounded
to find he had only received some
very nasty looking gashes. The eX-
PLANTATION of this we soon saw. My
shot, which appeared to have killed
the lion, had hit the beast at the
base Of the jaw, smashing the bone
to pieces and stunning him. When
he dashed at Captain H his lower
Jaw was absolutely useless, so that
the upper teeth only acted as a rake
instead of nut-crackers.
