A Youthful Milker.
A four months-old calf that
gives mill; is a prodigy. Mr. D.
Edwing saw just such a curiosity
at Empire Ga, last, week. He was
on his way from tho agricultural
convention, and whilo waiting for
the train at Empire, had his at
tention called to the calf, and saw
it milked. I is claimed that the
calf will yield 1 quart of milk per
day, The mother L a Jersey and

Not long ago wo heard a man
snoeringly refer to a nice, respect
able lady as a “reformed woman.’
It seems to be understood by gene
ral consent that if a woman errs
her sin is to 1 m» held against her
forever.’A man can be a profligate
and a debauchee and no door of
society or club is closed against
him, blit if a woman goes astray
there is never to be a kind word
thereafter said to her fora tender
prayer offered for her soul. This is
because men are tigors and women
niv merciless. Our plea is that an
erring man, and a reformed w o
man is as a reformed man. Our
present, day double standard of
morals is not of God Lot us re
moinlie; that sin is in, and that
there is no partiality to either sex

is the one that is always growling
about this piece being published or

that you pay your dues to lira prin

gincident is told
hi Rev. B-who was at one
of Missouri Baptist
Missi Hi Board:
“The da n a hot, the wind
'V, .1 the sun beat down upon
the white streets as only Septem
ber sun can in Missouri.
The Convention was over and
I was on my way home, dusty and
weary.
“As 1 waited at the junction a
train pulled in and an old woman
stumbled on.
“She stood dazed for a minute,
then sat down on a box and light
ed an old clay pipe.
( l Three or four young men laugh
ed when she Risked where the other
depot was. One said, 'Ask that
man standing there,’ pointing to
me. I showed Iter the depot, then
noticing her many bundles and
packages I knew she could not get
to the depot by hor.se 1 f.
“I looked at the station a mile
distant, then at my watch, and
saw that 1 had time to go with her
“With arms full we started.
“When we had gone a few yards

and a great time we had chasing it

her family had been killed in a
recent cyclone and that she was
on her way to Pennsylvania to live
with a younger sister.

makes you so good to me?’

“Whatsoever ye would that men
should do unto you, do you even

tor—but I never finished _ the sen
tence, for the old woman dropped
her bundles, exclaiming, ‘Praise
the Lord, you are my brother in
Christ. ;
“When we arrived at the sta
tion I bought her ticket and had
her valises checked. The I told her
good bye, and I’ll never forget
her dear old face all wrinkled and
each,tiny furrow filled with tears
as she held my hand in both hers
and prayed for me as no one had
since 1 was a boy at home. I left
her, and my own eyes were dim
with tears as I hurried to my
train.
“As I seated myself in the car I
forgot the wind and heat and for
got that I was tired, for my soul’s
ear heard the Savior say, ‘And
whosoever shall give drink unto
one of these -little ones, I say un
to you ho shall in nowise lose nis

GOSSIP.
Gossip has made many a home
a hell on earth, gossip lias parted
husbands and wives, gossip has
sullied and blackened the reputa
tion of many a poor girl. Gossip
has parted lovers who would have
been happy had it not been for
gossip. One little mis step, or one
little indiscretion, will cause gos
sip to raise new strength and start
on her now mission.“Her,” did
we say? We ought not to; for wh
have our male gossipers, and as a
rule they are ten times more ven
omous than the female. A good
healthy male gossiper is' about as
low and dangerous as the meanest
thing on earth.— Ex.

Our church and chapel are in
ruins. A vacant lot would be bet

Thirty-one of our four hundred
church members arc among the
dead. Those who •survive tiro fin
ancially ruined.
The question is beingasked-will
finlv-don rise from the wreck and
ruin of today? There is here one
of The great ports of the country. It
is the natural outlet and inlet for
Texas and the great northwest. If
there were today not a building

remaining-Galveston would live
again. There is a wave more irre
sistible than that of the gulf-it is

port cities, and if there is a port
destined to permanency and great
ness it is this.
From the ruins of today there
will arise a more beautiful and a
greater Galveston witli a sea wall
and buildings built for wind and
wave.
Shall we Baptists have a church
here? You see our utterly paralyz
ed financial condition. We have
faith, hope, courage, energy, but
no mi.%y. Our people are unable
to repair the damaged parsonage,
or their own homes, or even to
remove the debris from the church

That coming “fatalities cast their
sliatlows-before” is now said to be
the ease in the Galveston catastrophe
Two months ago an old negro prea
cher, living in Galveston, had three
dreams upon three consecutive nights
to the effect that Galveston was be
ing destroyed by a tidal wave. ■
116 told iiis friends about the first
dream and the second, and with the
coming ot the third he began to
preach among the colored people to
leave the island, as well as advising
the whites to do so. Every one laugh
ed at him, and, finally, in sheer des
air, the old negro took his * depart
;
ure for Houston, with his few house
hold effects, stating that lie was go
ing to leave the island, even if no
one else did.
He has not been heard of since he
arrived m Houston, some four weeks
ago, but parties wlm remember the
incident are looking for the oLd ne
gro now, considering him an im
