in the main upon turning the laugh
upon his opponets, and in his answer
Is Sheppard he repeated an old story
which had the effect he desired. He
told his audience that a man (allud-
ing to Shcppard) had been placed in
the pit to attempt to contrcvert his
assertions which placed him MAS
sie) in the position of the cooper WHO
was asked to make. barrel from
a bung hole. His opponent, he COLI
tended, had said nothing worth
answering. The laugh was upon
Sheppard, and, as suggested by the
late "Sunsct" Cox, man in such
a condition merely wastes his time
in efforts to explain.
Charles E. Hughes, who is posing
as the republican candidate for
President suggests the old story Of
the cooper and the bung hole. He
is still without an issue, and republi-
can papers are making vain attempts
to blow into flame some of his key
cannon utterances while upon the
stump. He is laboring heavily while
on his tour, but that he has said
nothing worth repeating must be APP
parent to both friend and foe.

hood, and throughout his long life,
The same can be said of nearly every
man who has left his name in history.
They took up the responsibilities Of
life at early ages and when they
reached manhood their characters
had been formed.
Massachusetts has ever been the
home of the aesthetic. The people Of
that state trangely suppose that
everything in the way of culture
radiates from that centre. But near
ly every man of note who sprang
from that state began work early in
life and continued in the traces.
Andrew Johnson,sa former President
of the United States, in his tender
years was an apprentice, under the
old indenture system, to tailor in
North Carolina. He was of humble
parentage and unable to read. He had
reached his majority before he had
any idea Of letters The young wo-
man he married taught him to read
and he remained in the school Of re-
sponsi5.i:ty which he enteredin child
hood, unit. his death. When in The
embrace of the great destroyer he
called to those standing near, "Wrap
me up in the American flag when you
prepare me for burial" He was the
genuine type of American, who had
fought his way through life from
early bodhood. Work and realiza-
tion fihe responsibilities Of life
have saved many boy from jail and
reform schools.

FEEDING MOLECH

Germany has lost 76,24S officers
and 2,sS3, 1893 men in killed, wound
ed, and missing, according to the
57Oth official casualty list just issued.
| Studious people, fond of investigat-
ing what has occurred on this planet
since man was placed upon it, often
,Eall into soliloquics upon realizing
the fact that Solomon was right when
he said there is nothing new under
the sun.
Many procedures are in evidence
today, under other names, which were
ancient in the days of Homer. The
first books of the Bible speak of a
custom of the Ammonites who wor-
shipped a divinity known as Molech,
or the fire god. 1t was the custom
Of this fierce people to offer human
sacrifices to their deity. The god
was represented in a huge brass
statue, in sitting posture. The
lower part of the figure was a fur
mace, and on sacrifcial days this fur
mace was fired to white heat, There
was an opening in the abdominal part
into which little children were cast.
The worshippers which stood around
beat drums and sent forth blasts
from trumpcts to drown the shrieks
of the innocent victims of this most
cruel of all forms of paganism. The
Bible, it will be remembered, pro-
nounccs curses upon those VINO cause
their children to pass through the
fire to Molcch.
There are no statues Of Molech IN
our day, but the spirit which caused
these licnds to destroy their little
ones still seems to blaze, animating
some of the great Of the earth.
The sanguinary procedures around
Vcrdun and at other places in the
western battle front of Europe are
more terrible than the furnace with
IN the image of Molcch. Thousands
of men are virtually thrust into
places more terrible than Dantc's IN
fcrno. And the terrible work still
goes on. Molcch was fed with limo
cent babes; Mars is now being fed
with the fathers and brothers Of su:h.
| This is the difference.
In the last book of the Bible a
thrilling scene is described. The SOULS
of them who shall have been slain iLr-
ling the great tribulation which we arc
told is to come upon the earth cry
| for vengeance. Their words arc
startling: Chow long. o Lord, holy
and true, dost thou not judge and
|lvenge our blood on them that dwell
On the carth?" The Christian dispcn-
isation will then be a thing of the past.
MARTYRS are not praying Tor their
l.nemies, as now, but they arc crying
flor vengeance.
| History is to show who is re.
;ponsiblc for this fearful 5utchery Of
nan, made in the image Of his Crea-
| tor.

JUVENILE OFFENDERS

Probably the most perpleXing cases
which come before Police Courts OF
the country are those in which boys
are the offenders. Should fines be
imposed money is taken from the
,bread-winncr who can i'll afford to
paw the assessments, whilye Wrestling
children from parents and placing
them in some far away reform school
is q course which should be avoided,
if possible, by those upon whom the
responsibility of safeguarding tho
community is committed. Under pres
ert laws in Virginia every oppor-
tunity is given juvenile offenders to
reform, and upon the first otfensc the
Justice or whoever has the disposition
of the cases is directed to aim at saw
ing the little culprits instead of brand
ing them as outlaws at the outset.
This is all very well, but some
parents, who strangely imagine their
otfsprings are Innocent OF every
charge urged against them, fail to
realize the fact that it is their duty
to vie with the authorities in the re-
formation of their children. 1t too Of
ten happens that while the authorl-
ties are cndeavoring to prepare q
way by which incorrigible children
can be reclaimed, leave the court
rooms indignant because their boys
have been caught in the meshes Of the
law. and instead of showing them
their danger, are rather inclined To
modify their wounds, condemning the
officers of the law in the meantime
This spirit has often been manifest
ed in the Police Court of this city.
Senator Ovcrman's statement on The
floor Of the senate Monday thai
North Carolina has fewer children
in Jail than forty-fve other states OF
the Union is suggestive. He attrio-
utes this showing to the fact thai tae
children of his state-who otherwise
might be in jail--are kept out OF
temptation by putting them to work II
the cotton mills. He plaintively askcu
whats to become of the children
who work, if this bill passes? What
about. an orphan supporting his
mother?" The bill was passed not.
