WHY WE WANT PEACE.


But we want the war ended. Not
only that, we want It's end to bring
the assurance that II will not be re.
newed In five years or In ten or In
twenty. We hate war From lands
where war Is not so hated. where war
is held to be the true path to great.
ness and culture. sometimes comes
the reproach that we are Nation OF
dollar chasers. so deeply absorbed In
the business OF making and selling
goods that we have lost our apprecia.
ton OF the glories OF war. We admit
that we like making and selling better
than killing and being killed. but we
admit II without a spark OF humility
These believers In blood and iron will
be disappointed II they think TO make
us blush for our devotion TO the arts
Of peace. II is because we are so per.
fectly shameless In the belief that
people at peace is more blessed than
a people whose best and brayest stand

to Europe. But we have no sympathy

foreign commerce Is pretty much de

have come upon US in year when |
renewed and great prosperity was at
hand. We seriously object to having |
such sore burdens imposed upon us
because dynasties want to defend |
their crowns, because ministers have |
planned seizures OF territory, or be-
cause emperors want to find use for |
great armies, and with the false splen-
dor Of military glory cheat the people |

THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE

Trade conditions seem to demand
that less cotton be planted next year.
For the small planter pigs, poultry
and truck gardening will bring the
quickest, surest and best returns
Sheep for mutton and cattle for beef
require longer time for returns, but
they will surely pay.
But cotton at present prices Is surrey
good property to buy and hold as an
investment No better investment can
be found and those who have money
to invest should consider this matter.

THE MORTGAGE.

lie bought in 1866 farm OF stump
and stones;
His name was God.Be-Glorihed, hi
surname II was Jones.
He put a mortgage on his farm, an,
then In conscious pride.
In twenty years I'll pay them up,
said God.Be.Glorifed.
The mortgage had hungry nav thai
swallowed corn and wheat;
He toiled with patience night and da,
TO let tht monster eat;
He slowly worked himself TO death
and on the calm hillside
They laid. beyond the monsters reach
good God.Be-Glorlhed.
And the farm with It's encumbrances
OF mortgage, stumps and stones,
II fell to young Melchizedek Paul Ado
hiram Jones;
Melchlzedek was likely youth, holy,
godly man.
And he vowed TO raise the mortgage
like a noble Puritan.
And he went forth every morning to
the rugged mountain side,
And he dug as dug before him poor
old God.Be-G lorihed;
He raised pumpkins and potatoes
down the monsters throat TO
pour.
Who gulped them down and smacked
his lips and calmly asked for
more.
He worked until his back was bent,
until his hair was gray
On the hillside through a snowdrlft
they dug his grave one day.
His first son, Eliphalet, he had no
time TO weep and brood.
For the monster by the doorstep
growled perptually for food
He fed him on his garden truck, he
stuffed his ribs with hay.
And he fed him eggs and butter, but
he would not 80 away;
And Eliphalet he staggered with the
burden and then died.
And slept with old Melchlzedek and
God.Be-Glorifed.
Then the farm II fell to Thomas. and
from Thomas fell to John.
Then from John to Elazar. but the
mortgage still lived on:
Then II fell to Ralph and Peter. Ell.
Absolom and Paul:
Down through all the generations, but
the mortgage killed them all
About score OF years ago the farm
came down to Jim!
And Jim called in the mortgage and
gave the farm to him.
There's no human heart so empty that
II has no ray Of hope.
So Jim gave up the ancient farm and
went to making soap.
He grew a fifty-millionaire. a bloated.
pampered nature;
He owned ten railroads, twenty mines
and the whole Legislature;
And thousands did his gruff commands
and lived upon his bounty,
And came back home, bought back his
farm and the entire county.
Even when u man Is tlckled to death
he doesn't die OF II.
Yet the deaf and dumb can hear

Fine Feathers.

What is considered quite the most
sensational dramatic success of the de-
cade -"Fine Feather" will be seen
here at the Lyceum theatre on Mon
day, Dec. 7th.
Mr.. H. H. Frazee, who produced
"Fine Feathers" in New York and
Chicago last season, and under whose
direction the play will be seen here
considers it the most important produc-
tion of his entire career as theatrical
producer. According to the patronage
which the play enjoyed during its first
year, it must needs have that great
human appeal which unfortunately is
inspired only on rare occasions,
"Fine Feathers" reflects the condi'
tions of the nation; its story develops
what may be found in ones neighbor's
home or possibly in ones own home
That it is virile expose of the truth
may be easily understood by mere re-
citsl of the premise of the story which
concerns the struggle of young cou
pie to maintain home on $25 per week
and withstand the opportunity to gair
luxury by accepting proposition il
which graft is the predominating no;e

FOOt-Ond-MOuth Disease.

An epizOotic of fOot-and-mouth
disease among cattle last month
forced the government to close the
Chicago Union Stock Yards, the
largest cattle market in the world,
says an exchange.
The disease, known also as aph-
thous fever, has been the object OF
particular dread ever since the ad-
vance of medical knowledge en-.
abled the veterinarians to ,distin-
guish one animal disease from an
other. All parts of the world
have long suffered from it. In the
past generation many local out
breaks have occurred in the Unit
ed States, usually through infec-
tion from imported cattle. As
there is no treatment to which the
disease yields, the state and nat
ional authorities have to combat It
by quarantine and disinfection or
by the slaughter of herds.
Although the disease IS most
common among cattle, it also af-
fects swine, sheep, goats and 9th
er animals-even the human kind.
1t takes the form of severe alb
scesses on the feet .and in the
mouth; the early symptoms are

panied by a high temperature. 1t

fast and far once it gets a start.
There are many means of conta-

boxes, the clothing and shoes OF
persons who come near the sick

butter or cheese made from it. The
resulting disease is serious, and

To Help Hog Raisers.

The modern method of solving
agricultural problems by investi-
eating them, not only in the lab
oratory, but also on the farm in
cooperation with the farmer, has
given such admirable results that
it is to be applied to the anti-hog-
cholera crusade, says the Farm
ers' Union News Service.
Congress has appropriated a
half million dollars to carry on
the work and experiments will
be made in all parts of the Unit.
ed States, The aim will be not
only to exterminate the disease
in the test sections, but also tc
discover the most practical, eff
cient and economical methods fol
continuing the work throughout
the country.
This investigation will fill q
long-felt want in Mississippi, as
the hog death rate in this state
from cholera is 104 per 1,O0(
head; and hog raisers are losing
an average of $4,000 hogs, val
ued at 81, 100000, from this dis
ease annually.

Strange COnincidences.

Two brothers of George Butler,
formerly assistant attorney-gener,
al, and a prominent attorney OF
Jackson, met with serious acci
dents at McComb City within the
space of two days. Il. t. Butler,
formerly postmaster at McComb
City. was standing on the ground
of the depot at McComb Friday
night as a passenger train rolled
into the town. He stumbled over
a large lump If coal, lost his bal.
ance ana eli to the ground. I'm.
f0rtun ley one of his limbs ex.
tended onto the rail, and the
wheels of coach so badly mangled
his foot that amputation at the
ankle was necessary. Mr.. Butler
suffered intense agony, and his
friends were grieved over the acci-
dent. His brother in this city
went to McComb City to be with
him.
As Mr.. George Butler was about
to leave McComb City for Jackson
last ght he was informed over
the telephone from farm house a
mile distant that another brother,
T. B. Butler, merchant of Liber-
ty, h.l1 fallen from a passenger
train and was badly bruised. He
remained at McComb City until
the brother was brought in on a
stretcher and made as comforta
BILE as possible at a hospital. Mr..
4. b. Butler, after visiting his
brother who had been injured Fri
day night, had boarded the south
bound train for New Orleans.
Soon after the train left the sta
tion lie passed from the day coach
intending to 60 to the dining car.
It is said the vestibule had not
been closed. In some way he lost
his Balance and fell from the train
to the side Of the track, rolling
down.a high embankment. The
train, it is said, h'.d gained a
hean reay of 80 miles an hour. AL.
Though suffering g eat pain, Mr..
BntleF managed to summon sufii-
cienf strength to allow him to call
for help, and farmers living nesf-
by heard him. They carried him
teL detly to their home, telephon
ed y McComb City of the accident
and q. took him to that place.

Farmers in Australia will tell
you that rabbits are their chief
bane, for they are almost as numer
Gus as mice, and quite as hard to
exterminate. But the war in Eu
rope has created a demand for
them for food. Within a fortnight
recently, four ships reached Lon
don from New South Wales with
$40, 1856 frozen rabbits, all in good
condition for rabbit stew.
