GEORGIA PRELATE

Bishop Kelley, in Address to Do

Form Of Pleasure,

Characterizing the present popular

Bishop Kelley, Of the Diocese OF

letter which was read in every Cath

clared for a striking reform of this
form of pleasure.
Bishop Kelley addressed the letter
from mis- home in Savannah. 1t was
dispatched to the heads of every
Catholic church in his diocese ana
read from the pulpits simultaneously

turn which popular amusement has
taken in this respect.

WORTHY OF EMPIRE BUILDER
Cecil Rhodes Magnificent Tomb Near
Spot Which Was Scene of His
toric Meeting.

After Cecil Rhodes death, on March
26, 1902, his body was taken to the
Natopos hills in South Africa and in
tered there near the spot known as
Worlds View. BY the terms of his
will the land adjacent was set aside
as a burial place for men who had de-
served well of South Africa.
The Rhodes tomb is near the spot
where he had his famous meeting
with the chieftains of the Matabele
tribes on August "a. 1896. At that
time the Matabeles were about to go
to war against the British, and
Rhodes, fully aware of this, rode into
their territory, accompanied by only
two men. The risk that he took was
enormous, but the result fully justified
it. When the Matabeles heard of his
coming their chiefs sought him in his
camp and laid their grievances before
him. He promised to do what he
could to have them righted.
Now, is it peace or war;" he
asked, and the chiefs, as one man,
cast their spears on the ground,
signifying that they were for peace.
While riding away from the scene of
this historic meeting Rhodes is said
to have remarked to his companions:
1T is such things that make life
worth living"

BUSY LIVES LED BY WASPS
When They Get After the Swim
ming Small Boy.

Wasps appear to be wellnigh as In
dustrious as ants or bees. One au-
thority has declared that the cardinal
doctrine of the wasps is: If any
wasp will not work, neither shall he
eat"
Division of labor is clearly seen in
the wasp's nest. Some of the work
ers seem to be specially employed as
foragers and soldiers, others appear
to be told off as nurses and guardians,
while yet others are engaged as paper
makers and masons
Wasps are at all times particularly
fond of honey. Toward the end of
summer, as all bee-keepers know, they
will force their way into beehives and
carry off by force as much as they
can gorge of their winged neighbor's
honey.
The drones of the wasp world, in
stead of being idle and luxurious, are
sober, industrious and well-behaved
members of the community. They
clean the streets of their town with
exemplary diligence, acting as public
scavengers or sanitary officers. And
they have their reward, for, unlike the
been drones, they live their allotted
life In peace and quietness until win
ter involves both them and their
maiden sister in one common cata-
clysm of death and destruction.

IRVING WAS NOT ALL MIND
English Actor One of the Most Low

1t has been said of Irving that he

tender" The late Henry Labouchere
wrote of him that "he was always act

quently selfish and in many ways in
firm, and he realized that there is no
art to find the minds construction in
the face" but, essentially, he was one
of the most loving and lovable of me-,
when and where he fully trusted.
He was singularly sensitive to kind
ness, and any little token of remem-
brance that reached him from a
friendly hand, if it were only trifle-
as inconsiderable as cravat or
cigar case-was treasured by him
with a gratitude almost pathetic. But
he did not wear his heart upon his
Sieve" and he did not trust many
persons. He had suffered much, and
he was lonely to the last. He was
one of the most intellectual persons
that ever trod the stage, but those
who knew him best could testify that
his sympathy was as wide as the
widest experience of mankind and as
deep as the deepest feelings of COM
passion and tenderness that ever
possessed the human heart-William

HARD TO FIND MORAL HERE
Woman's Deliberate Lie at Tomb of
Saint Resulted In After Years
of Peace and Plenty.

In Timbuctoo there is a venerated
tomb. 1t is the tomb of Sidi Iaia. The
marabout who there reposed was dur
ing life the most truthful of men, says
an exchange. 1t is for this reason that
his name is the supreme attestation
Of all oaths. The people visit his
sepulcher to swear upon 1t as they
swore in the middle ages on the re-
lies of saints. The one making oath
kneels before the mausoleum, and IN
PRODUCING his head into a window
speaks to the dead:
"Sidi Iaia, if what l say is false
cut off my head"
1t is averred throughout the country
that no liar can ever withdraw his
head from the hole. Sidi Iaia seizes
him by the ears and tears his head
from his shoulders. For this reason
none except those with clear con-
sciences dare expose themselves to
this ordeal
A negress accused by her spouse of
misconduct was brought by her hus-
band to the famous tomb. With fear
full soul she scarcely passed the top
of her head within the bullseye.
Farther. farther" cried the husband.
She obeyed. Now swear!" With a
faint voice she swore.
Sid Iaia did not bulge, and the
wife rose in triumph. DO you doubt
me now?" she asked. Then intoxi-
Gated with JOY she began to dance.
Scarcely had she begun to do so when
she sprained her foot and cried out,
Pardon, Sidi Iaia, pardon, for having
lied to thee. have deceived my hus-
band"
Miserable woman!" yelled the hus-
band, who began to shower blows on
her bare brown shoulders But the
people interfered sid has just
punished her." they said, and you
have no right to do so"
From that day the woman was
sanctified by the chastisement she
had received She is now the
guardian of the tomb of Sidi Iaia and
shares with the saint the emoluments
given for authenticating the oaths in
her presence.

LET THE BOYS HELP.

Why is it that the boys are allowed to
SIT in the house doing nothing while their
over-worked mother is struggling against
nature and fate to do about half of the
work that is waiting for her hands? Only
the other day we saw three large,
able bodied bows lounging about the
themselves, while the mother, alone
tired and pale. was irving to do the work
for large family and company. Not a
boy to help about the house? Why noto
Is there ANYTHING about washing dishes
that will njure HIM, or about sweeping,
or making the beds, or setting the table.
or washing or ironing, or cooking plain
meal Of vctuals? On the contrary. there
is too much to benefit him IN such work.
the most important of which is TO gain
the idea that it is not manly to let the
weaker vessel carry all Of the burdens,
when it is possible for strong hands to
do the work. Most boys would gladly
help in the house If they were asked to
do so, and were taught how to do the
work properly MANY smart boy wants
to help his tired mother. but he does not
know how, beyond bringing in the wood
and water. This DONE she tells him to
go and play while she plods YEARLY on.
Not bows work? For shame? 1t is
a positive harm to his moral character to
allow him to think it is right to be idle,
while the mother is struggling under her
burdens. Let the boys help. and those
who can not get help "for love or
money" will see their troubles disap
pear.
