an ideal person or make this earth
heaven until he knows the laws of
nature and puts them into practice.
Man has three natures or component
parts. To harmonic these parts we
must resort to law of non-reSiStance.
Our courts have used the gibbet and
the prison to reform the man, and our
colleges and churches are in the same
rut as the courts. Yet they will not
stop to think that mans condition on
earth is the same as at the beginning
of time. They advocate an eye for
an eye and a tooth for a tooth and
they call that right and justice. But
the laws of nature will not stand for
it, so we have confusion and war.
The great drama that Jesus the
Christ enacted on Calvary J, 900 years
ago was to show the great power of
nOn-resistance. That drama is en-
acted and performed by the priest on
the altar of the Catholic church to-
day the same as st. Peter and st.
Paul performed it. But the Roman
priests who took the church and put
the disciples of Jesus to death never
learned the meaning that it was to
convey to man for his future wei
fare and happiness on this earth and
not to worry about the life hereafter
in heaven. The Roman Christians
and all the Christians want us to be
good, so we will go to heaven when
we die. That is their idea of life.
But the life here on earth is what we
want to study. Live perfect lives here
and the future will take care of it
self. We cannot live perfect lives I'M
less we practice non-resistance. Try
it and then call me a back number.
Stop and think. The king never
could accept non-resistance. That is
why the disciples of Jesus were put to
death in the fourth century by Con-
stantine and his army, so the king
could live. The king will tell you he
represents Jesus here on earth, and

ALTRUISTIC.-T

ALTRUISTIC.-The more l read
the columns of The Public Forum
the more l become convinced that
some of its writers are suffering from
one of the great brain disease, better
known as altruism. Not alone does
altruism paralyse the thinking power
of the individual, but it enslaves him
physically and thereby reduces him
to poverty. Standardization being the
first law of human nature, it is there
fore necessary for the individual to
find himself out first. Continually
harping about other people and neg
lecting himself one dashes through
space and blames other individuals
for his own surroundings. Condi-
lions can be>modified if the individual
will only think for himself.-W j.

POLYGAMY ON THE FARM.-


There is only one place where polyg-
amy should be practiced in this coun-
try and that is on the farm. The
farmers wife is the most abused
white slave in this land of the free.
No hired girl will stay on the farm
for love nor money. The children
run off to town and the poor wife has
to cook in a hot steam kitchen for
men who have appetites like wolves
the year round The wife has to
work, work, work. She has to cook
for thrashers and corn huskers for
as many as twenty-five at a time and
for several days. She has to cook
and bake all the time. When city
snobs come out on the farm to visit
they eat up everything in sight and
do not even help to wash the dishes
The wife gets lonesome because
she has no woman companion. She
works 16 hours a day. to the work
ing woman's hours in cities. She
has the kitchen constantly full of
sick chickens or sick young pigs I'M
til it looks like an animal hospital.
The men do not lift hand to get her
a pail of water or make her tasks

CAMP LI4ANO GRANDE, Tex.
Aug. 4.-The king of outdoor sports
in the camp of the Indiana national
guard just now is snake hunting. A
rather novel and interesting sport at
first, but L think it viii lose its
popularity as soon as the baseball
LEAGUE is organized.
Several of the boys have just re-
turned from a hunt. They went
through the bushes and killed a
number Of snakes scorpions and
other members of the animal king
dom that are peculiar TO this coun-
try. The other day one of the boys
shot a huge diamond rattle snake
in the company street 1t measured
sixty-One inches in length, ten in
ches in circumference and had eight
rattles and button on its tail. The
fellows in the next street have an
armadillo in captivity and are try
ing to make a pet out of it.
Tarantullas are quite numerous
as we'll as scorpions. These things
aroused much interest at first but
now they have become too common
to be recognized as a curiosity.
There has been such a great
change in the place here since the
arrival of the troops that a native
returning TO Llano Grande after
months absence would scarcely re-
cognize il as the same deserted
place which he left. From the will
derness of a deserted hacienda eX-
tending on either side of two streaKs
OF rust which designated the right
of-way of the Gulf Coast Line rail-
road. this place has been transform
ed into a stirring community of
nearly $1,000 population.
Along Broadway" street there is
quite an assortment of frame. I'M
painted, one-story business houses
''canteens" as the troopers call them.
These "canteens" carry a miscella-
neous stock ranging from cold re-
freshments to stationery and tooth
paste. Two moving picture shows
are doing a land office business
every night until taps. Along the
street" there are also a soda foun-
tain, barber shop, laundry and
shooting gallery. A Y. VI. c. A.

struction and should be a great help
to the fellows when it is completed.
The different regiments are TAX
ing a great deal of pride in their

of the regimental and company
streets are quite pleasing to the eye.
The streets are well laid out, drained
and lined with palms on either side.

BAY CITY, Mich, Aug a.
Word came from Lansing to the eff

ing another effort to secure his
freedom from the Jackson state
prison where ne is serving a life
sentence for numbering his wife and
child in this city early in the morn
ing of Jan. !, 1895. He has appealed
to Gov. Ferris for clemency and it
IS said that the governor will give
the application consideration in the
near future.
mbley's crime was one of the
most atrocious in the history of Bay
county. During the fall preceding
the murder, Trombley, then a con-
ductor on the street railway, became
erratic in many ways. He became a
candidate for county clerk that year
and frequently harangued crowds Of
people who were attracted on ac-
count Of his crazy actions" He
cut no figure in the election, how
ever, and it was the common talk
of the city that he was not prop
erly balanced.
On the morning of the murder an
alarm of fire brought the fire de-
partment 10 the little home on
Longton 81. occupied by Trombley
and his family. consisting of a wife
and two children. After putting out
the fire the firemen made an ex-
animation of the interior of the
dwelling and found the body Of
Mrs. TrOmbley and the younger
daughter in bed, the clothing OF
which had been saturated with kero-
sene. Mrs Trombley's throat was
cut and she was otherwise multi
ated. Trombiey was not found at his
home The older child was found
at the home of his grandparents.

were employed during the next two
