Queer Animal Scarce Many.


A strange animal that has cry
like a human in distress Is terrify.
Ing the inhabitants OF THE Knobs. y
the widest district in Clark county,
Ohio. lying few miles southwest
Of Oatawba.
So far no one has been able to
catch sight of 1t, though reliable,
sober farmers declare that there Is
some animal living In the brush and
woods OF the hills that never made
that vicinity its home before last
month. 4Ne
One night while returning to their
home through The Knobs Mr.. and
Mrs. Lester Loveless heard the plain
live cries of what they thought a
human being, apparently the voice

He could plainly hear the wierd
cries OF the creature until within a
few rods OF It, closer than which It
would not allow him to approach.
He pursued 1t until 1t broke and
ran through the brush. breaking 1t
down so it's progress could be plain
ly traced by the noise. Mr.. Love-
less's wife became frightened and
called to him from the house, so he
ceased his pursuit.
Several times since Mr.. Loyeless

cries OF the animal in the night, but

and is now wandering In the Wild
country, becoming startled at the
sound of other human voices.
Mr.. Loveless owns a farm near
The Knobs" and has lived there
or years, and never before has he
heard any strange sounds coming
rom the thicket.
The place known as "The Knobs

CHRISTIAN MORALITY AssArLED.

1t was predicted forty years ago
that the great agnostic movement of
the Nineteenth century would final
~ attack the fundamentals of Chris
tan morality and would not stop
short of demand for the reconstruc-
tion of our primary ideas on those
subjects. There is now well defined
assault on the Christian virtues, such
an assault as has not been made since
the early days when Christianity was
fighting for a foothold and was de-
nounced by the classic civilizations
as the religion OF weakness and meek
ness. The distinctive Christian vir-
tues, IL used TO be said, were faith,
hope and charity. 1t may have been
so in apostolic times, but according
10 a very interesting article in the
July number of Current Literature,
in the long stretch Of the centuries
Christianity has come to stand for
moral qualities of a somewhat more
definite character than is usally con-
veyed by the three words by st. Paul.
Faith is nowadays hardly rated as
high as right conduct. Hope would
have to be translated into some such
theme as optimist to become a vital
doctrine of the modern world. Charity,
In the larger sense of love" in which
Saint Paul intended it, is the one
member OF the moral trinity still reg
nant,. Christianity, indeed, might well
he defined as the religion of love.
Love and sympathy have ever been It's
watch words; self sacrifice. too, and
devotion to duty; and chastity.
More than any other man. Fried
rich Neitzsche has been the leader oI
the singular crusade against Chris
tain morality that startled the world
in closing decades Of the Nineteenth
century. He invented the distinc-
tion between master-morallty and
and started his concep.
tion of the former as follows: "The
morality of the master class Is ir.
riatating to the state OF the present
day because OF its fundamental princi.
pie that a man has only obligations
only to his equals; that he may ACT
TO all lower rank and to all that are
foreign as he pleases. The man ol
the master class has capacity fol
prolonged gratitude and prolonged re.
yenge. but it is only among his equals
de has. too. great resourcefulness In
retailtion; great capacity for friend
ship, and a strong need for enemies
that there may be an outlet for his
quarrelsomeness and arrogance
and that by spending these passions
in this manner, he may be gentle to-
wards his friends"
BY this ancient master-morality,
Napoleon Bonaparte would have been
esteemed god and the Man Of Sor-
rows an enemy to society. It was the
ethical scheme. indeed, of people who
were sure of themselves and who had
NO need to make terms with rivals or
20 seek the good will or forbearance
OF any one. In its light, such things
- mercy and charity seemed perni-
cious and immoral. because they
meant a transfer of power from strong
men. whose proper business 1t was to
grow stronger and stronger. to weak
men whose proper business It was to
psrye the strong. In word,this mas
