CONTENDS THAT FOREIGN MIS-
SIONS ENDED LONG AGO.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I have been
reading some of your articles on
Missions with great interest. But my
experience is that the man who ex-
poses the rottenness of politics or
religion is a doomed man. That the
men who should be your best friends
are the ones in the end who will cry
the loudest for your crucifxion.
There is one thing that you have
overlooked in this discussion, and
that is that the mission work was all

LETTER FROM ONE OF THE
LEADERS WHO MADE WAR ON
THE TOBACCO TRUST.

The IOBACCO TRUST.
Dear Friend:-I am sending you a
clipping taken from the Hopkins
vile (Ky.) Independent, which I have
seen in many leading papers, and
which you have doubtless noticed.
How does it strike you?
Washington, July 17.-Neither
trust-fed, trust-clothed nor trust
armed will the American regular SOL
diers be if Secretary of War Dickin-
son can prevent.
'|The Secretary of War has just is
sued a new rule for the purchase of
supplies for the army. He directed
Brig.-Gen. Henry G. Sharpe, COM
missary man, to enter into no direct
contract with any corporation which
is a party to trust or combination in
restraint of trade. He has also di-
rected that no dealings be had by
the department with any agent or
mid dleman who may be a represen-
tative of such a concern"
Had I better remind him that some
time last winter one of his Great
Federal Judges sentenced Mitchell
and other Labor Leaders to the peni-
tertiary for ignoring an injunction
against boycotting the Buck Range
Stove Co., and that if he don't look
out he will get a dose of the same
medicine at the hands of the Federal
Court?
Now wouldn't it be a shame to see
Uncle Sans gotee cut, his hair cut,
and white and black stripes placed on
him and put in the pen just for boy
cotting my Cousin Tom Fortune
Ryan's and Uncle Buck Dukes little
corporation. Sometimes I just feel
like boiling over and going off in thin
vapOr.
If the cotton ginner would only
pool, press and store instead of rush
ing on the streets and beg some one
to "take" it so he can get back emp
ty-handed to BETSY and the Ba--
bies' the South void soon grow rich
again and the old hill sides would
bloom in verdure. You say it is too
large, then the more people would
get the benefit and the more mil
lions would go to feed, clothe and ed
ucate the ragged children, and less
to hire man hair dressers and buy
costly gowns for ones wearing.
Your magazines are all sold out at
Danville, Va, in a jiffy, and I could
not get one July 3. Why don't they
get enough to supply demand. I am
behind on July and August. Re-
member me to your son, wife and
Miss Needham, and with very best
wishes for your health and success,
Yours truly,
JOEL B. FORT.

On Tuesday afternoon John r.
Buttle, of Oshkosh, was shaking
hands with his old Julesburg

about it and he didn't look it; but
along about the close of the

said the words that united MIR.

On Wednesday, Mr.. Will Arm
bruster and Miss May Gullion,
found themselves in Judge Mill
er's court, and when it was over
they seemed pleased and very
happy. The groom is strap
ping young fellow, and it was
generally conceded that he had
shown good taste, for the bride
looked dainty and sweet in her
new dress of white. You could
MT help wishing that the world
will treat them kindly.
