S. S. Nash, Supt.
Roosevelt’s African Quest.
Chicago Record-Hernld.
It is now generally known that Scrib
ner’s Magazine is paying Theodore
Roosevelt the highest price ever paid
for any serial in any magazine for his
forthcoming articles, which are to bear
the general title, ‘‘African Game
Trails: An Account of the African
Wanderings of an American Hunter
Naturalist.” The editors already have
ive of these articles in manuscript, the
first of which, ”A Railroad Through
the Pleistocene,” will appear in the
October Scribner. They also have a
large amount of illustrative material
from Kermit Roosevelt, the official
photographer of the expedition, all sys
tematically arranged and labeled, show
ing a marked aptitude for detail on the
young man’s part.
Meantime the popular interest in
these articles is in itself a phenomenon
that may well engage the attention
even of Mr. Roosevelt’s enemies, it is
said that an enterprising concern in
New York recently dressed up a lot of
men in Rooseveltian costumes and put
them through an African lion hunt be
fore the moving picture camera, and
that the receipts from the exhibit the
first week were $15,000. I understand
that the news dealers’ orders for the
October Scribner are 75 per cent, lar
ger than usual, the increase being
about 50 per cent, in the East and 100
per cent, in the West.
Rut the surprising thing is that the
interest on the other side of the Atlan
tic is almost equally keen. The London
Telegraph has bought the serial use of
Mr. Roosevelt’s articles fort’a good
round sum. The leading publishers in
Paris, Hachette & Co., have bought
both the serial and book rights, and the
same is true of Berlin ; also that French
and German translations will appear
simultaneously with the American and
English publications. in fact, each
manuscript is prepared in triplicate for
this purpose. The Scribners also are
considering similar offers from Italy,
Austria and other countries, including
Australia.
All thes‘ foreign offers, mark you,
come from publishers who have not
seen a line of Mr. Roosevelt’s matter.
They are witling to take it on faith,
putting up thousands of dollars on the
mere strength of the popular interest
which his name arouses among their
readers. Could there be a more strik
ing proof of the appeal of his pictures
que personality to the imagination of
the age?
And all the while Mr. Roosevelt’s
having the time of his life, and the
tone of his writing is said to indicate
as much. His article in the October
Scribner will describe the start of his
expedition, his meeting with Selous,
the most famous of all big game hun
ters, and his ride on the cowcatcher of
a Uganda railway engine through a
region swarming with giraffes, rhinos,
zebras, lions, hartebeestes, ostriches
and other wild animals. Those who
have seen the other manuscripts say
the'series is the most interesting Mr.
Roosevelt has ever written. It is evi
dent. at any rate, that one can flee to
darkest Africa and still remain in the
limelight if one be sufficiently strenu
ous.
Obituary.
Again, and the second time within j
the space of five months, the Death j
Angel visited the home of Mr. J. L. j
Morris on the night of Aug. 16 and
claimed the gentle spirit of his wife,
Mrs. Lucy A. Ilindsman Morris, and
wafted her sweet spirit to the Great
Beyond, there to bask in the sunshine
of God’s eternal glory until the resur
rection morn, when it will “put off
this mortal and put on immortality,”
and appear before the Judge of the
quick and the dead to hear the welcome
plaudit, "Come up higher.”
Deceased was born March 15, 1850;
was married to J. L. Morris Sept. 10,
1867. This union was blessed with eight
children, three having preceded her to
the grave. She united with the Bap
tise church at old Holly Springs (now
Moreland) in the early 70’s, was bap
tized by Rev. R. E. Pitman, and re
mained a consistent member of the
same up to the time of her death. She
was a regular attendant on her church
meetings when able to do so, and had
an abiding faith in prayer. For two
years she was in poor health, and for
some months prior to her death her
sufferings were intense; yet she never
murmured nor complained, relying on
the precious promise, "I will never
leave thee nor forsake thee.” As the
end drew near she expressed a readi
ness to go and be with her Savior,
whom she trusted for life and salva
tion.
She is survived by her husband and
five children, besides numerous other
relatives. We realize that our loss is
her eternal again ; therefore, we bow
in humble submission to the will of
"Him ho doeth all things well.” To
the bereaved husband we would say,
"Weep not, for Annis is not dead, but
only gone before, and is waiting and
watching the coming of loved ones,
and beckoning them on to that sweet
haven of rest.” To the children we
can only say, "Ileed the admonitions
of your mother; emulate the life she
set before you; remember that she
cannot come back to you, but you can
go to her, where there will be no more
Earewells. ” ,
Thus we are reminded that, one by

Fifteen minutes passed.
"George," came from above, "wait
another second. I've lost my pin.”
Twenty minutes slipped by.
"George,” she continued, “don’t go.
A button just jumped off my shoe.”
Long silence. Then George called
wearily:
"Hurry a little, Ethel. If you get
down in another five minutes we can
make the evening performance. Mat

When Mark Twain lived in Buffalo
he made the acquaintance of some
neighbors under peculiar circum

morning, he saw something which
made him run across the street, and
remarked to the people who were

intending to call on you and make
your acquaintance. We owe you an
apology for not doing it before now. I

in this informal manner, and at this

"Beg pardon,” said the hotel clerk,
"but what is your name?”
"Name?” echoed the indignant guest,
who had just registered. "Don’t you
see my signature there on the regis

"I do,” answered the clerk, calmly.
"That is what aroused my curiosity !”

Obituary.
During the still morning hours of
Aug. 17, 1909, the black-winged angel
of death entered ti.c home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. T. Smith nr.d will,drew ficm
their garden of love and care one of its
sweetest and rarest llowers little Sol-
lah Louise Smith. A vacancy has been
left that can never be tilled, but let
them rest assured that this most beau
tiful flower has been transplanted to a
garden where there will he no more
heartaches or sorrow, but where there
is everlasting love and happiness. We
know it is hard for the bereaved pa
rents to realize that in the midst of
life dear little Louise must succumb to
death. She was so bright and cheerful,
and had been a bright ray of sunshine
in their home for six years, having
been born Nov. 15, 1903. It seems al
most more than the human heart can
bear to have these silver cords sever
ed, and to place their loved one be
neath the cold sod ; yet we must sub
mit to the Lord’s will, for "He giveth,
and He taketh away.” it is too mys
terious for the human heart to under
stand why such afilictions are placed
upon, them and we can only commend
them to a higher power for comfort, for
’tis through Him alone that bueh wounds
are healed, and all must be brought to
the stern realization that Ho knoweth
and doeth all things well.
The greatest comfort we can offer
the bereaved family is that they can
go to her, and there live throughout
eternity amidst the nleasuresof an eter
nal home, away from the cares and
heartaches of an earthly life.

Obituary.
On the morning of Aug. 10 the Death
Angel entereil the home of Mr. J. A.
Brown and claimed the gentle spirit of
Mrs. Elizabeth Brown as his victim
and wafted it to the land of rest, there
to join with loved ones gone before.
She found Jesus precious to her soul
when young and united with the Meth
odist church, remaining a faithful
member until her death. Although she
suffered intensely for six months, she
bore her afflictions without complaint,
thus showing the Christian spirit that
becometh one who puts her trust in the
Savior. She leaves a husband, two
sons and two daughters to mourn their
loss, besides a hust of other relatives.
To the grief-stricken family we would
sav : "Dry your tears, and realize that
you have another tie in that beautiful
world.” To the children let us say:
"Remember your mother’s counsels,
heed her warnings, emulate the exam
ples she set before you, to her honor
and to your good. Remember, she is
not dead, but only gone to that beauti
ful land, where site is waiting and
watching the coming of her loved ones

An American and a Scotsman were
speaking about the intense cold in the
north of Scotland.
"Why it’s nothing at all compared
to the cold we have in the States,”
said the American. "I can recollect
one winter when a sheep, jumping
from a hillock into a field, became sud
denly frozen on the way and stuck in
the air like a mass of ice.”
"But, good heavens, man.” ex
claimed the Scotsman, "the law of
gravity wouldn’t allow that!”
"We don’t do things by halves at
home,” replied the other. “The law
of gravity was frozen too!”

My warmest sympathies go out to the
heartbroken husband and children, for
we know their sorrow is hard to bear.
Few indeed escape the ehns ening rod,
yet we feel confident that our Heaven
ly Father makes no mistakes. "He
gave, and He taketh away, as seemeth
to Him best.” While we cannot probe
into the future, God can; while we
know it is hard to,give her up, yet we
know it is best. No word of sympathy
can heal the .wound; time alone can do
that. Only trust to His promises, pray
to be reconciled, keep employed in do
ing for those around you. Then, after
awhile a calm resignation will rest
upon you.

“ Do you know of any woman who ever received any
benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound? ”
If any woman who is suffering with any ailment peculiar
to her sex will ask her neighbors this question, she will be
surprised at the result. There is hardly a community in
this country where women cannot be found who have been
restored to health by this famous old remedy, made
exclusively from a simple formula of roots and herbs.
During the past 30 years we have published thousands
of letters from these grateful women who have been cured
by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, and never
in all that time have we published a testimonial without
the writer’s special permission. Never have we knowingly
published a testimonial that was not truthful and genuine.
Here is one just received a few days ago. If anyone doubts
that this is a true and honest statement of a woman’s experi
ence with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound write
and ask her.
Houston, Texas.—“ When I first began taking Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound I was a total wreck. I had been
sie.k for three years with female troubles, chronic dyspepsia,,
and a liver trouble. I had tried several doctor’s medicines, but
nothing did me any good.
“For three years I lived on medicines and thought I would
never get well, when t read an advertisment of Eydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound, and was advised to try it.
“My husband got me one bottle of the Compound, and it did
me so much good I continued its use. I am now a well woman
and enjoy the best of health.
“ I advise all women suffering from such troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound a trial. They won’t
regret it, for it will surely cure you,” — Mrs. Bessie L. Hicks,
819 Cleveland St., Houston.
Any woman who is sick and suffering is foolish surely
not to give such a medicine as this a trial. Why should it
not do her as much good as it did Mrs. Hicks.
