The Orient's ReviIing.


The East is forever swearing by
something. The usage which Jesus
condemns continues to this day in the
land of the Book; yet the East is not
so profane as the West. Its speech IS
viler, but it does not blaspheme the
name of the Deity. 1t tends to foul re-
Wiling, but it can scarcely match the
inane and senseless and irreverent pro-
family of this western world. We ser1-
ously need the injunction, But above
all things, my brethren, swear not"
Anybody who has given thought to
the prevailing profanity confesses that
it's first characteristic is stupidity. The
great words that are used in such light
and common fashion are merely the
vehicle of incompetent brains. Most
persons who are profane are such be-
cause they have not the wit to convey
their sentiments in original sentences.
The man who can express his mind IN
his own words has more bite to his
condemnation than the other who rolls
out a string of inapplicabie and incon-
sequential oaths. It is the lowest type
of men who swear most. Everybody
must welcome the popularity of the
Holy Name Society of the Roman Cath
Ole church, which teaches its members
to revere the Holy Name of God.
The Best and the Worst.
James was not the first nor the
last to marvel over the tongue and its
paradoxica1 uses. He Hkened it to a
bit in the horses mouth, to the helm
of a great ship, to a fountain that sent
forth waters both sweet and bitter,
to tree bearing figs and olives, to a
spring of blessing and cursing. That
such an agency for good or evil is
put into the keeping of every man is
one of the highest tributes to the SOW
ere1gnty of the human soul. No Great
ure has this power save only man,
made in the ima~e of God. The
tongue may be the best or it may be
the worse about man. An old fable
is quoted by Peloubet's Notes:
The philosopher Xanthus ordered
his servant Aesop to prepare for a
certain important occasion a banquet
of the very best he had. The feast
proved to consist merely of tongues
tongues of many animals, cooked in
many fashions. When the indignant
philosopher summoned his steward |
Aesop defended himself by showing
nothing but sin and desire nothing but

Gardens and the City Child.

From the st. Lodis Republic.
At the Charles School on the south side
the children are taking a course of les
sons in gardening. They have titled their
ground. planted their seeds and are look
ing eagerly forward to the day of harvest.
Were the usefulness of school gardens
questioned they might easily be defended
upon grounds Of practical utility. In ru-
raj schools gardening is coming to be
taught upon the theory that the study
will result in making better farmers. but
In the city there is another defense less
Immediately practical, bUt none the less
real.
The city breeds a race of children to
whom the soil is dirt: something to he re-
moved for the making OF cellars and COW
cred with brick. stone, asphalt and cement
for pavement and sidewalks. The notion
involved in the words Mother Earth
never enters their heads But let these
children thrust their fingers into the cool
soft soil OF garden to plant their flow.

TROOPS SENT TO GEORGIA TOWN TO SAVE IT FROM OUTBREAK
 OF THE NEGROES.
INSULTING NEGRO WHIPPED
Blacks Resented the Whipping Admin- lstered by Whites and Situation
 Was Serious When Relief
 Came in Automobiles.

Cumming. Ga, Sept. 1.-Two compa- nies of state troops were rushed here today and Forsythe county declared to be under martial law by Governor Brown to prevent impending trouble between the white and negro inhabl- tants growing out of the severe beat ing administered to Grant Smith, a negro preacher, on the public square, because of alleged insulting remarks reflecting upon the women of this place.
 The blacks had threatened to dyna- mite the town if any negroes were lynched, but after the troops arrived the situation became quiet, and no ac- tual clash is thought probable. Two negroes were arrested today, charged with attempted assault upon white women Thursday night, five miles from this place. They were brought to prison here. There was no excitement until Smith expressed his opinion, whereupon crowd set upon him and beat him almost into insensibility. He was rescued by. the officers and locked up iE the vaults of the court house.
 l There were threats of lynching, fol- lowed by rumors from negro picnic and barbecue. near town, of plots for dynamiting the town in the event of negroes being lynched
 Excitement spread and the town fill- ed rapidly with white men from out lying districts and negroes from the barbecue.
 The officials immediately appealed to Governor Brown with the result that one company from Gainesville and another from Marietta were rush. ed here in automobiles arriving short ly after noon.
