Theodore Roosevelt has sailed on the
liner Hamburg for East Africa to hunt
big game for u?e next year and a half.
His send-off was as spectacular as even
the former President could have wished.
There were cheering crowds at Oyster

enthusiastic admirers at the pier and
noisy well-wishers on tugs. Everywhere
he went he was the center of attraction.

when all the dogs succumbed to the

Shaekleton made some departure
from the usual preparations for a journey
across the snow and ice. He took with
him a motor car which could be converted
into a sledge and substituted
ponies for dogs and light woolen clothing
for heavy furs.

Against an Inheritance Tax: Hecause
of the memorials of state legislatures
1. March 31, 1909.
coming to members of Congress almost
daily, protesting against the inheritance
tax as' an interference with the State
laws, it is not improbable that a small
tax on corporation dividends, perhaps
two per cent, may be substituted. The
subject of a corporation dividend tax has
been discusssed by the administration,
but nothing definite has been decided
upon. It is common talk at the capital
that Senator Aldrich, who will be the
controlling factor in shaping the Payne
bill with amendments after that measure
reaches the Senate, is outspoken against
the inheritance tax feature. The Senate
will finally decide the question.
Foreign Appointments: President Taft

TO A CHILD CONTRIBUTOR.
(A letter written by Dr. Doggett, the
evangelist of the Presbytery of Western
Texas, to a nine-year-old little girl who
had sent a contribution to help build the
DTlanis church.)
My Dear Frances:
Your letter of February 28 containing
one dollar for the D'Hanis church, came
duly to hand. Today I received your
dvwuu icuci wuutiuiiig lwu aoiiars irom
your grandparents. I am so glad, my
dear little girl, that you are taking so
much interest in the cause of Christ. The
last sermon I preached at D'Hanis was
on a cold Sunday night. There was
present in the congregation a young man
about nineteen or twenty years of 'age.
He had slipped off from his Catholic
home and come to our services. After
the sermon he called, to one of our
church members and said, "Do you
reckon that man (the preacher) would
let a fellow have that book he hail to
read out of?" He did not know that the
book the preacher had was the Bible.
He knew nothing of the Bible. 1 had
told some interesting Bible stories which
set forth the love of Christ for men. He
became interested and wanted to read
those stories for himself. Is not that
sad? Right here in our own Christian
land a grown young man, without the
Bible and without the knowledge of the
Alible. This young man next said, "Don't
tell my people that I came out here tbnight."
Without the Bible and forbidden
to hear the Gospel. Is there any
country anywhere in greater need? We
now have a consecrated spiritual preacher
who will go there twice a month
to hold up Christ. No house as yet in
which to preach. Is it not a pleasure
to put money into a church building
where It is so much needed? We thank
you, dear little girl, for what you have
done. You are giving "drink to one of
his little ones" and the Dord will reward
you ior u. we trust that all good Christian
people will pray for the work at
D'Hanis.
I am, yours very truly,
M. W. Doggett.
