THE MosLEM ATTITUDE TOWARD
CHRIST.

These sons of the Prophet were al
ready familiar with many of the Old
Testament characters, whose names
appear in the Koran, but the biblical
setting and history Of these characters
were for the most part new to them.
Their attitude toward Christ was
found frequently to be surprising, and
among the better educated of the Mos:
lem Arabs this attitude was not one OF
hostility or Indifference. To be sure,
these Mohammedan followers do not
accept Christ as the divine Son OF
God; they rather look upon him as a
prophet, as Mohammed was a prophet.
Mohammedanism Is strict monothe.
ism, and regards the trinity of the God
head as impossible. Yet, like the Hin
dus, who have placed Christ In the Hin.
du pantheon among the many other
great incarnations of religious leaders
and prophets, the Moslems will tell you
that Christ is considered by them as
great prophet. They will also inform
you that they, as fasteners. under
stand Jesus nature and teachings even
more perfectly than we do in the west.

ALCOHOL AND PNEUMONIA.

The United States public health SER
vice brands strong drink as the most
efficient ally of pneumonia. 1t declares
that alcohol is the handmaiden of the
disease which produces ten per cent Of
the deaths in the United States. This
is no exaggeration. We have known
for a long time that indulgence In al
cohoHc liquors lowers the individual
vitality and that the man who drinks
is peculiarly susceptible to pneumonia.
The United States public health ser
vice is conservative body. 1t does
not engage in alarmist propaganda. In
rApllowing out the line of its official
onties 1t has brought forcefully to the
general public a fact which will bear
endless repetition. The user of alco-
holic drinks will do well to heed this
warning, particularly at this season of
the year when the gruesome death toll
from pneum@ria is being doubled.

AN uNMouNTEp scAREcRow.

Few people in the country missed
reading recently Of the great sixteen
inch gun that was being sent to Pan
anna to protect the canal from a pos
sible foe. The government gave out
many details regarding the great gun;
pictures were shown with forty men
seated on. its great barrel and columns
were printed describing the special
trucks that were necessary to carry
the gun over the railroads.
The government did not give out the
fact that this great gun on which so
much dependence is placed, was built
in 1903, that it lay for ten years on the
beach at the proving grounds, that no
carriage has ever been built for it and
that there is not single shell for it,
in existence. As far as defensive pur-
poses are concerned 1t is about as val
liable as a scarecrow which has not
been set up in the field.

De currency in the sand hill circle. So
The board of trade saved the cotton
situation to the great increase of it's
strength and glory.
The way the board handled the
sweet potato crop was typical. The
sandy soil of the section is admirably
suited to raising them, but the natives
produced chiefly the yellow vans
which they liked. The west and the
north want dry sweet potatoes The
board of trade procured seed of the
best varieties OF dry sweet potatoes
and saw that it was distributed. They
also made arrangements with the rail-
roads to furnish them heated cars for
winter shipments. The farmers took
to the proposition with a will.
The board of trade is epitomized in
the story of Roger A. Derby. He is
New Highlander and his friends at
tribute to him most adventurous
character. Having considerable
wealth he missed the great adventure
of making living, so he chartered a
ship and went in search of a sunken
, Spanish galleon, travelled around the
world, had look at the jungles in
India, and generally comported him.
self like Richard Harding Davis
hero. Having heard of what was going
forward in the sand hills he came
down here, bought a farm little larg-
er than any other, and little farther
from civilization than anyone else had
cared to go. There he worked out a
system of tenant farming all his own,
which consisted chiefly in giving the
tenant square deal.
Meantime the board of trade was
building fine schools to take the place
of the old time cabins; but they were
too far away for the kids in Derby's
neighborhood. So Derby made the
county authorities proposition to
build a first class school if they would
furnish the funds to run it. The
county agreed. Mr.. Derby went to
New York, and called upon sundry
philanthropical persons of great
wealth. In this connection he prob
ably called upon himself first. At any
rate he returned to the Sand hills
with a roll of money and famous ar
chitect Among the wire grass and
pine trees he built a model school
house, and model residence for his
teachers, who were also imported.
There were about fifty children in
the immediate neighborhood who
were expected to attend. They did.
Also, they talked about that school
and every little cracker in the brush
that heard about 1t put couple OF
biscuits in his tin bucket and set out
for the Derby school. One day Mr..
Derby received call from six sub
stantial farmers of another neighbor-
hood. They told him that they had
sold out and moved to his vicinity SO
that their children could attend his
school. They had thirty boys and
girls between them. The total enroll
ment of the school is now about $50
and it is still increasing. Derby shows
you his school with that particular
brand OF joyful pride which belongs
to people who have created something
good. He has found his real adven.
