WHY NEGROES ARE RELIGIOUS
SoIace Was Found in the Gospel
Brought to Them by Missionaries
or Taught by Masters.

The negro sought az channel for
artistic solace, into which he could
throw the symbolism of his racial long
ing. He found it in the religion
brought TO him by missionaries or
taught him by his masters. Here
he was free to dream his dreams
and create his visions Of future happi-
ness, for no master could punish him
for praising God. Thus he found re-
ligion," and in religion he found no
mood of his simple soul unnOurished.
1t is, then. not so hard to under
stand why the negro's folksOng is, in
its superficial form, so predoIninantly
religious. The "spirituals" Of the camp
meeting show a quite uneeclesiastical
variety of style and mood, a variety,
i'm fact. co-extensive with the emotion
al range Of simple peasant life. They
include lively dances, bitter laments,
paeans of joy and majestic, organlike
anthems. In the Bible stories which
are retold ~ ballad form in some of
the spirituals the negro found express
sion for MS buoyant, genial humor.
Nearly all the familiar moods Of folk
song, from the gayest TO the most pro-
foundry tragic, are to be found under
the religious veil which permitted the
slave to live his own varied emotional
life without interference from his mas
ter.-New Republic.

ltunate- enough to penetrate into their
carefully hidden villages finds the
quaint little people extremely interest
ing, says Lewis r. Freeman in the
World Wide Magazine. Though disin-
.clined to work, the negrito is indie
fatigable in the chase. He will hunt
all day without eating anything but
the mango, or banana, that he may
seize as he ruShes by. If the dogs are

pressed into service, and these go
Looping through the brush, yelping in
imitation of the CANNES for whom they
are substituted. Sometimes a beater
will emerge from the brush carrying a
pig he has encountered and killed, or,
more important still, bringing news of
the sighting of a python. In this case
the whole hunt is called in and its
energies directed to the capture of the
big snake, which, when killed. is car
ried in triumphal procession to the
village, where it furnishes a feast for
all who can be gathered together for
the great occasion.

HEALTH FOUND IN GARDEN

Away Noxious Elements, and
Strength and Vigor Are Certain.

To the man who woos her earnestly
nature offers store of unexpected
gifts. Our thousands of amateur gar
deners who have put in the leisure.
hours in their little garden patches
have begun to realize that one of the
biggest rewards of their hbors may
not be the actual produce they will
obtain, valuable as that may be, but
in the less tangible results on their
own bodily and spiritual welfare.
There is health in the soil of Mother
Earth. The perspration that results
from your labors is carrying away nox-
ious elements from your blood.
Strength and vigor come from contact
with the soil. In this kinship to the
earth is found one reason that nearly
all of cur greatest men have been
country-bred boys. 1t is why farmer
boys of today are stronger and more
able than youths reared in cities. Do
not be afraid if your hand acquires
few callouses or I brOWnish tint. A
well-tanned hand is more fitting SUBJ
Ject for pride than soft, white, use
less hand. You may meet with some
failures from not knowing the how and
why of things, but there is a JOY which
cannot fail.
The miracle of planting a seed and
seeing the growth, though a common
thing, contains joy and food for the
heart Gardening not only brings nour-
ishment for the body and food for the
mind, but it expands the soul.-AIil-

CITY IS YELLED IN SMOKE
In Manchester, Industrial Heart Ct
England, Flaming Furnaces Roar .
Night and Day.

Manchester is the industrial heart
of England, the heart of the black.
smoky North, which Is to the pleas
ant London south like foreign land.
Under its veil of fog and smoke, the
flaming furnaces of Manchester roar
nigh, and day, turning out steel and
shells. The Manchester district is
more impressive than anything of the
kind America can show, because it is
more concentrated. 1t is as if nine
tenthS Of the American steel business
were gathered into single Pennsyl-
vania county.
Baedeker says that on a clear day
you can see 600 giant factory stacks
at one time from hill near Manches-
ter. This statement has loug been
suspected as the solitary bit of humOr
in the 81 ponderOus volumes of Bae-
deker. 1t may be true, but it has new
er been confirmed, because there are
no clear days in Manchester. When
all the 600 stacks are pouring forth
smoke and the fog steals down, it is
dark at noon. On a good average day
you can see for several blocks, and
only few electric lights are neces-
sary. The trolleys will probably burn
their headlights, but that is force Of
habit on the part of the motorman.

END OF AN ARMED R0BBER
Condemned Men in China, on Way to
Execution, Are Permitted to Stop
at All Wine Shops.

One of the first sights which it was
my lot to gaze upon since coming here
was a public exhibition of a man con-
victed of robbery under arms being led
forth to execution, a correspondent of
the North China Daily News writes
from Pakow. We were inside the house
when we heard the sound of the yard
long trumpets in the street and going
to the door beheld a procession pass
ing arrayed in the glory of old China,
with its triangular shaped flags and
honorific sign-boards, together with a
touch here and there of Western
ideas.
There were probably 200 soldiers in
the parade and they carried modern
rifles and, minus the cue, looked pass
able if rather slovenly in their car.
riage. Some officers rode horses and
were clad in semiforeign garments,
Our attention, however, was particu.
larly directed to the man who was to
die, who was coming along at the end
of the line. His cart, the ordinary long
goods cart, had stopped for minute
+ or two before it came to where l was
standing and on inquiry found that it
had paused in front of a wine shop.
1t being the custom here that the con-
Wet should stop al any or all the wine
shops en- route t. the execution ground
and drink all he r~qnted free of charge.
BY the time the MAJ in his cart passed
me he appeared to be indeed drunk
and was nut .ering incoherently as a
man will when he is pretty deep in his
cups. He looked like any other SIM
pie counUryman and one could not but
pity him in view of the fact that he
was soon to be thrust unprepared into
i the presence of the Eternal Judge.
The execution ground was the river
side and just outside the town, and the
business which took the crowd there
was soon dispatched, for although did

trumpets announcing the return of the
troops about 20 minutes afterward.

BURMA PRESENTS A PARADOX
Most Mournful of Religions Firmly
Established Among Most Cheer
full of All Races.

In no country of the world is Budd-
hism so firmly established as in Bur
ma, according to the Churchman. 1t
is a curious coincidence that one of
the most cheerful and light hearted
races has adopted what is perhaps the
most mOurnful religion that exists in
the world. If one wants to realize the
impossible gulf between the pessimism
OF Buddhism and the optimism of the
Burmese, between the despair of life
which stamps the one and the deter
mination to enjoy itself which is so
marked characterization of the 9TH
er, one must see these Burmese cele-
brating a religious festival. e. F. Trot-
man, who has been working under the
bishop Of Rangoon, describes the fam
Gus pagoda feast at Shwe Dagon:

ing for miles across the levels. Four

For Justice of the Supreme Court

1t is hardly necessary for the Pilot
to put up an elaborate plea to its
readers, in the interest of Marvin b.
Rosenberg for Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court. Everybody in
Marathon county knows Mr.. Rosen-
berry, of his ability and fitness for the
position. They are aware of the fact
that two years ago he went to Madison
to assume the duties of Justice of
the Supreme Court, and in order to
do that he abandoned a law practice
which had taken him mo re than TWEEN
ty-five years to build up. 1t meant
much for him to make the sacrifice
and to leave Wausau and Maathon
county, where he had lived soV long.
as well as to cut himself off from all
friends and neighbors, but it was
necessary to- give up his business in
order to be free from outside influence
in the discharge of his official duties.
Justice Rosenberg is now a candi-
date at the election to be held April
2, next, to succeed himself There
has not been one word of adverse
criticism of his service as judge. 1t
has been settled policy of the state
to re-elect sitting judges where their
services have been satisfactory, ir-
respective of party affiliations. This
has kept our courts out of politics and
it has made the Supreme Court of Wis
consin one of the strongest in the
country. This custom should not be
set aside, and Justice M. B. Rosen-
berry should be elected by an over
whelming majority. Let the voters
of Marathon county, assist in bring
ing this about, and its vote chould be
such as to assure Justice Rosenberg
that every man within it's confines is
his friends and well wisher.

it. We did not see him for about six
months, then he came home for a few

That was ten years ago, and Howard
says the year he spent at the military
academy was the best year of his life.
"NOw," said Uncle Dan, with great
earnestnesS, "when such training does
SO much good, makes better citizens and
at the same time fits man to defend
his country, why should not Uncle Sam
furnish this training at the govern
ment's expense? The government has
the right to call anyone to serve in
case of war, and without training,
man is worth nothing as soldier. IN
Gle Sam has splendid new training
camps that will soon be available for
the purpose, therefore, here is double
reason why the Chamberlain bill for
compulsory military training should be
passed at once, so that every boy ply
sically fit may have this training and
not leave it for his parents to pay for.
On account of the expense, not one boy
in so can take the training now. am
glad that you can do so. These big

farmers rather 'cocky,' and that the

Billie was up with the lark the next
morning, more %Ecited and enthusiastic
than ever He had a plan. He knew
Jimmie owned a colt worth 500; that
he would make almost another 500 on
his potatoes If they turned out well,
and that he had from his previous
savings, bought a 500 Liberty bond.
Billies plan was to have Jimmie cash
in and go with him. He was disap-
pointed to find that Jimmie would still
lack about $500 of having enough to
see him through. His lip quiyering, he

Uncle Dan was silent moment or

to the orchard and get him some APP

gone, it was arranged that Uncle Dan
and Mr.. and Mrs. Graham would ad-
vance the money necessary so that
Jimmie could go. When Billie returned
he was told about it. He ran to the

Do Every Task Well.

Instead of belittling any job think of
1t in terms of finished production. If
the thing still looks crude you have not
put your best into it. You must see i'm
prOvement in the next item. Keep
straight lines out of your curves, and
the curves out of what should be
straight. Do every task so well that
it will be constant testimonial to the
hand that has done the work. At
times it will slow down your pace, but
it will add TO your value as q work
man. In the end it will add to your
speed and all you do will be well done.
Get the habit of putting pride into your
efforts and you are on the road to sue
cess however hard it may be to travel.
Remember there can be little merit in
The thing you 'are ashamed of.-Penn-
Syl, mia Grit.
