PATRIOTISM,
A nation is made great, not by its
fruitful acres, but by the men who
cultivate them; not by its great for
ests, but by the men who use them;
not by its mines, but by the men
who work in them; not by its rail
ways, but by the men who build and
run them. America was a great land
when Columbus discovered it; Amer
icans have made of it a great Nation
In 1776 our fathers had a vision
of anew Nation “conceived in liber
ty and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal.”
Without an army they fought the
greatest of existing world empires
that they might realize this vision.
A third of a century later, without
a navy they fought the greatest navy
in the world that they might win for
their Nation the freedom of the seas.
Half a century later they fought thru
an unparalleled Civil War that they
might establish for all time on this
continent the inalienable right if life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
A third of a century later they
fought to emancipate an oppressed
neighbor, and victory won, gave back
Cuba to the Cubans, sent an army
of schoolmasters to educate for lib
erty the Fillipinos, asked no war in
demnity from their vanquished en
emy, but paid him liberally for his
property. Meanwhile they offered
land freely to any farmer who would
live upon and cultivate it, opened to
foreign Immigrants on equal terms
the door of industrial opportunity
and shared with them political equal
ity, and provided by universal taxa
tion for universal education.
The cynic who can see in this his
tory only a theme for his egotistical
satire is no true American, whatever
his parentage, whatever his birth
place. He who looks with pride
upon this history which his fathers
have written by their heroic deeds,
who accepts with gratitude the in
heritence which they have bequeath
ed to him, and who highly resolves
to preserves this inheritance un
impaired and to pass it on to his de
scendants enlarged and enriched, is
a true American, be his birthplace or
his parentage what it may.

O Time and Change.
(Cleveland Leader).
When we were kids together, Jane,
Can you that time recall?
And played along the shady lane,
Beneath the maples tall.
You then were nine and 1 was ten,
And oit I’d say in fun—
“ Just think, Jane—you’ll be twenty
when
1 come to twenty-one.”
But when 1 came to twenty-one,
A gawky youth and green,
I wondered how the trick yas done —
For you were just eighteen.
Then luring fortune beckoned me—
The world 1 wandered o’er;
1 got back home at thirty-three
And found you twenty-four.
And now I’m getting old, indeed —
These gray hairs make that plain;
My flower of youth has gone to seed
Pray, what's the secret, Jane?
I’m lost —1 know not what to an—
and cruel fate that’s mine;
For 10, 1 now am forty-two,
While you’re hut twenty-nine.
Bait Fish Like.
Natural baits are those which most
anglers are accustomed to using.
Such baits include worms, frogs,
minnows, grasshoppers, grubs, salt
pork, crickets and many kind of real
fish food.
The most common of all baits is
the angle-worm, and it is used more
than any other because it can be se
cured so easily. This bait can be
used for all kinds of fish, and is
accepted by large and small alike,
no matter whether surface or bottom
feeders.
t'he worms may be used just as
they are taken from the ground, and
they are generally used in that con
dition. But if they are dug a week
before, washed and fed with a few
bread crumbs soaked in milk, they
become toughened and make the best
bait.—New Y'ork American.

SHERIEF MANGRUM
OUTJVITH FACTS
Declares He Feels It His Duty to
Say a Good Word for Medicine
That Has Helped Him so
Much,
“Tanlac has certainly helped me,
and 1 recommend it to others for
what it has done in my case,” said
Hon. C. W. Mangum, of Atlanta, slier
iff of Fulton county.
“1 have personally recommended
it to a great many people. I know
of at least fifteen or twenty families
who have bought it on my say so."
“I am 70 years old, and have most
healthy until here lately I have been
in a nervous, worn-out, run-down con
dition. My stomach was upset most
of the time, and I digested my food
poorly. Most always after eating I
would have a full, uncomfortable feel
ing that would last for several hours.
"After taking the second bottle
of Tanlac the fullness and all the dis
agreeable symptoms disappeared, and
my condition is now that of a well
man. I now eat heartily without any
bad after effects, and I sleep well at
night.
“Tanlac seemed to be just what I
needed to put my system in shape,
and has toned me right up. Under
the circumstances, I think it perfect
ly natural for me to say a good word
for it and recommend it to my
friends.”
Among the large number of promi
nent men in public life in the South
who have recently given Tanlac their
unqualified indorsement for the spe
cific aid to them are Hon. McKenzie
Moss, judge of the eighth Kentucky
judicial district; Hon. Moses R. Glen
Kentucky state superintendent of
printing; Col. John B. Raines, ed
itor and publisher of the Bowling
Green Daily News; George W. Hin
ton, former secretary of the Warren
County Equity league; President
Pegg, of the Newport Business Col
lege, and others.
Among those prominent in com
mercial life, who have more recently
indorsed Tanlac, are C. C. Cooper,
president of the Georgia Cotton Oil
Company, Lawrenceville, Ga.; H. W.
Hill, bank president, of South Pitts
burg, Tenn.; J. F. Carroll, cotton
mill superintendent, of Chattahooche

Missions and Temperance.
(Mrs. George Kilpatrick.)
The united testimony of missiona
ries from all churches is that the
greatest obstacle to the progress of
missionary work today is the liquor
exported from Christian lands. For
love of gold the rum dealers are en
tering every door which our foreign
missionary boards have opened. Is
it not a reproach to our nation to
permit the shipment of liquor to
these fields? Listen to the following
testimony from Bishop Newman: “I
say it with all reverence; but, so far
as human eyes can see, Africa would
be better off today without the pres
ence of a missionary than that ship
that brings him should also bring
strong drink.” He adds: “Rum is
the greatest barrier to our mission
ary work in Africa, and not only Af
rica, but everywhere. We will fail
in Africa unless the Christian gov
ernments of the earth suppress this
| terrible traffic.”
The late Rev. D. A. Day, who for
years labored for the master in the
Liberian missions, said: “In a few
decades more, if the rum traffic con
tinues, there will be nothing left in
Africa for God to save. The vile rum
in that tropical climate is depopulat
ing the country more rapidly than
famine, pestilence,, and war.’* These
are but a few of many statements to
the same effect.
In 1897 the total exports of malt
and distilled liquors from the Phil
ippine Islands amounted to $31,036.
In 1899, after our occupation of the
islands, the figure rose to $1,546,-
979. This to a people over whom we
have assumed control and whom we
are by duty bouqd to protect. For
every missionary that the church
sends out the United States exports
to mission lands thirteen thousand
barrels of whiskey or rum.
The people of the United States
spend for liquor in twenty-seven days
and for tobacco in fifty-four days as
much as has been spent for the
spread of the gospel in eighty years.
The cost of liquor in one month and
twenty-seven days is three times the
sum spent in the nineteenth century
for mission work.
There is a remedy for all this.
The liquor is sent from our own land
and it goes abroad on our own ships
with the sanction of our own peo
ple and under the protection of our
own nation’s flag. It is not even re
quired to pay the usual government
tax imposed upon liquor produced
and consumed within the limits of
our own country.
As we pray for national prohibi
tion we are praying for the stone of
stumbling to be removed and the way
made clear for the coming of the
King. We do not know of a force
in the church so near to this subject
or so able to meet it as the organiz
ed, consecrated army of women in
the missionary societies. “What can
they do?” you ask.
Begin at once individually to car
ry the temperance gospel to the
missionary meetings and the mission
ary gospel to the temperance meet
ing of all the temperance and mis
sionary societies and present the
subject.
BREAD OR BEER?
Mr. Alfred Booth, chairman of the
Cunard Steamship Company, lately
made a strong speech at Liverpool,
England, reported through the Alli
ance Press Agency. He said: “The
most glaring example of a form
of consumption which we could per
fectly well dispense with is the drink
traffic. I am not thinking now of
the demand which the trade makes
upon the serviees of our ships, our
railways and carts and of our labor.
Thirty thousand tons a week of bar
ley and other produce are brought
into this country for the brewing
and distilling trades. . . 1 say in
all seriousness that if we are to
maintain our armies in the field, w-e
shall before long have to choose be
tween bread and beer.”’
