WILD BOY" RECAPTURED FROM
LEOPARD, Is YARN.

Correspondence Associated Press.
LONDON, March IA wild hoy
resembling in some respects Kip
iling's character, "Mowgli," !" who
sucked by She wolf and grew up
to be leader of the pack, has been
found in remote section of India,
according to a story told in the
Times. In this case, however, the
boy is reputed to have been kid
naped by a leopard. He has been
recaptured and his father is now
keeping sharp eye on him to see
that he does not run away to the
woods.
The Times credits the tale to
Stewart Baker, who was recently in
the undeveloped country round the
Cachar hills on the northeast from
tier of India where he was in charge
of road mending. 1t is customary
in that region for the villagers to
mend roads instead of paying taxes,
Mr.. Baker asked villager why he
did not do his share of road mend
ing.
The man replied that he was a.
fraid to leave his village. His wife
having died short time previous
ly. he had no one to take care of
his little wild son" who, in his
absence, might run into the jungle
and get lost. Mr.. Baker paid the
villager visit and found with him
a child about 7 years of age, with
white scars or tiny
cuts AMI scratches all over his body.
The child's father told him that
five years before the villagers of Ca
chari had killed two leopard cubs.
The mother leopard had prowled
about the jungle bordering on the
village, A few days later the moth
er of the child left it lying on a

a very noticeable improvement in
the rural schools over what our
schools were a few years ago. Our
schools must improve if our boys
and girls are given what they de-
serve in an educational way.
The County School. Board is al
ready making plans to improve the
school system this coming year,
The greatest need in this line is a
strong corps Of teachers. Good
teachers make good schools; poor
teachers poor schools. 1t matters
not how hard the superintendent
and the school board may work, un-
less we have good teachers the
can be no progress made with our
schools.

HIGH SCHOOLS CLOSE.

The closing exercises of the Sun
bright, Central, and Burrville High
Schools have been held and were a
great success as attested DO every
one who heard them.
The Sunbright High School held
its closing exercises, Tuesday, We'd
nesday, and Thursday nights. April
18th, 18th, and 18th. The Central
High School held its closing exer-
cises on Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday nights, April 10Th, Goth,
and 21st, and Burrville on Thurs
day night, April 21st. These exer-
cises were of the highest class and
was an index of the good these
schools have been doing All the
High Schools are doing filst class
work and are proving a great sue
cess in the county.
The Coalfield High will hold its
closing exercises, Thursday, April
28th' All these schools have run
full 9 months, and the Coalfield
High lost two weeks during Christ
mas holidays which caused it to
close behind the other high schools.
The people of Morgan County

high schools. Much progress has

cloth while she went to reap rice.
In her absence the mother leopard
carried the child off. The villagers
searched for it but could not find no
trace of it.
Some three years later a sports
man killed leopard in the jungle.
He told the villagers that the leop-
ard had two cubs. They searched
the jungle and found the two cubs
and with them the missing child.
It ran on all fours quite fast,
lodged and hid in bushes with
great agility and skill and bit and
fought with every one who tried to
lay hold of it. 1t tore to pieces and
ate with extraordinary quickness
any village fowl that came it's way.

MOBILE, ALA"

Ne thinks even still / can hear
the warbling of real song birds and
Pm that full of music right up to
my very throat, girls, that l know
if I'd open my mouth wide I'd sing
for sure, cause you know that | al
ways did say there were plenty of
sweet sounds inside of me, but only
they wouldn't come out. Would
you know the Why and Wherefore
of my musical tendencies?
I have been tempted to write you
little about Mobile for the past
two years, but have just now found
time. Now don't raise your eye
brows in that supercilious way as
much as to say, for Heavens sake,
what does she know about Mobile
any way.
Mobile is on the western shore of
the Mobile Bay, thirty miles from
Fort Morgan, which guards the Ell
trance of the Gulf of Mexico, which
is the gateway to large portion Of
the Gulf Coast.
Like all Gulf Coast points, the
climate is moderate; neither very
hot in summer, nor very cold IN
winter. For this reason it is a win
ter resort of Northern tourists seek
ing a warmer climate.
Mobile is rich in history. 1t was
founded by Bienville, whose name
is perpetuated by a monument in
the Bienville Square. 1t was in Mo-
bile Bay that Admiral Farragut
lashed himself to the mast, saying,
Damn the Mines and landed at
the south end of the famous Old
Shell Road, and marched into the
city.
Mobile is noted for its scenery;
for its many beautiful drives bor-
dered by live oaks, festooned with
Spanish Moss. 1t is city of flow
ers-tne Azelea has been chosen as
it's characteristic flower. This Aze-
lea is not the pot-plant commonly
seen in the northern greenhouses,
but magnificent evergreen shrub,
hanging in color from purest white
through the changing shades of rose
red, and magenta.
1t is needless for me to attempt
to set forth full description Of Mo-
bile, so guess I have told you about
enough to make you think what a
gossiping female | am,
With best wishes to all the read
ers, I am,
Most Sincerely,
w. A. T.

WHAT THE EVANGELICAL LU.
THERAN CHURCH STANDS FOR.

In this age of doctrinal indiffer-
ence we have seen how entire de-
nominations disclaim their adher-
ence to doctrines once confessed
or treat them as dead issues. The
Evangelical Lutheran Church how
ever maintains definite platform
by adhering to doctrines based on
the clear statements of the word of
God. The principal doctrines for
which our Church stands, and
which it holds to be the fundamen-
tails of Christian belief, are, briefly,
these:-
THE B1BLE-We believe and teach
that the Holy Scriptures of the Old
and the New Testament are in every
part the inspired Word of God, who
is the Author of the words as we'll
as the thoughts Of Scripture.
We believe that the Bible is a
clear book, that no person of ordi-
nary intelligence and unprejudiced
mind can fail to understand its
teachings, and to find in it the Way
of Life.
We believe that the Bible, as the
revelation of God, is unalterable and
complete, requiring no human in
depreciation, and permitting no adj
ditions to it's teachings from any
source whatsoever.
GoD-We believe that God is one
divine essence in three persons,
Father. Son., and Holy Ghost.
MAN-We believe that man is
not the product of evolutionary de-
velopment, but was created in the
beginning an intelligent and moral
being consisting of body and soul.
We believe that man was created
holy and innocent, but in his pre-
sent fallen estate is ENTIRELY
DEPRAVED, and enslaved in the
service of sin.
SIN-We believe that sin is a
transgression of the divine Law,
and that man is subject to death
and eternal damnation by reason of
the guilt that attaches to sin.
REDEMPTION. - We believe
that God, in His infinite mercy,
resolved to save mankind, and that
the divine Redeemer appeared in
Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Mary
and Son Of God, who perfectly
obeyed the Law of God which man
has transgressed, by His sufferings
and death paid the penalty for the
guilt of the entire world, and by ;
His resurrection from the dead has
been declared the allsuhicient, di-
vine Redeemer.
FA1TH-We believe that all who
penitently accept Christ as the one
and only Savior in sincere faith are
justified in the sight of God, and
made heirs of salvation.
THE CHURCH We believe that
all who thus accept in true faith the
forgiveness of sins procured by
Christ's atonement are members of
the Church of Christ, which is ap
invisible Church, since men cannot
determine which of those who pro-
fess this faith are true Christians at
heart.

sage of redemption through the
atoning sacrifice of Christ is made
| known.
We believe that no church-body,
denomination, or sect can rightful-
ly claim to be the 'only-saving
church," outside of which there is
notsalvation. We therefore reject
the error of the Roman Catholic
Church, which teaches that the un
iversal (catholic) Church, that the
pope is the infallible teacher of the
Church and the vicar of Christ on
earth, and that all who do not &C
cept him as such have no part in
the redemption of Christ.
We believe that the true apostolic
Church has endured to this day,
and as visible organization is found
in the Evangelical Lutheran Church
so long as this Church, by the grace
of God, adheres in every point to
the doctrine of Christ and His apos-
ties. and retains the administl alton
of the Sacraments in their integrity
SAcRAMENTs - We believe that
the sacrament of Baptism. when
administered according to the COM
mand of Christ to infants and adults
is a means of grace which afficaci-
ously offers the grace of God and
forgiveness of sins.
We believe that in the sacrament
of the Lords Supper the communi-
cants receive in, with, and under
the bread and wine the true body
and blood Of Jesus Christ, and that
all believing COMMITMENTS share
in the forgiveness of sins procured
by Christ's sacrifice.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
We believe that Christ will visibly
return to the earth on the Last Day
to Judge the world.
THE REsURREcTIoN.-We believe
that on the Last Day the dead will
rise, their souls being clothed in the
bodies which they possessed in this
present life.
THE JUDGMENT.-On the Last Day
Christ will receive into glory His
INVISIBLE Church, including all who
died in the faith, and will pro-
nounce the eternal doom upon all
who refused to acknowledge Him
as their Redeemer.
THE LUTHERAN CHURCH AND
MODERN ISSUES.
EDUCATION. We hold that the
wherever possible, should
establish schools of her own in order
that the education of her children
may be governed in every part by
the teachings of Scripture.
CHURCH UNIoN.-We deplore the
divided state of the Church. The
Christian Church is divided because
men have forced their own interpre-
;ations upon the Bible instead of
accepting its teachings. But we hold
that a union of Churches we'll pleas
ing to God can be attained only
when there is readiness of all par
lies concerned to reject all teaching
which does not agree with the
Scriptures.
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.
We hold that the separation of
Church and State guaranteed to our
republic in it's fundamental law is
me of our highest temporal posses
,ions, and is, moreover. in harmony
with the teachings of Scripture and
With the Lutheran Confessions
PRoHIBITIoN.-We hold that the :
movement, in so for as
t aims at changes in the statutes ,,
governing the manufacture and sale
