A VOICE FROM AFRICA "DRINK is RUINING MY PEOPLE I* CE CLARES PRINCE MASSAQUCl CivllUatlua ?ail ,.r?ved ? (Dr>. u HU Dusky Subjects uu.i i|e Waah Christian. i? Help lif.u i? Ke.-pl., Liquor From Them. Prince Moajolu Massacjuoi is au in teresting African of royal descent, who through au article iu the Century' ? makes au appeal to Christendom tor freedom to worsb.p God "by sobriety Industry, g.??l will aud all the Chris tian graces." Momola Massaquoi is prince of the teis, un exceptional Afrieau tribe which has a written language compris-' lug more than loo characters. The prince, who was educated In the United States, reprojented Africa at the par liament of religions In 18!i3. Tin- daily thought of this unique young ruler is "How can my people, be saved;' He Is the founder of un In austrial school that opened with the twentieth century ut Ghendlmah, the capital of Gullinas. The great foe to the advancement of his people he finds to be tbe liquor traffic. ^ "From actual calculation," be says, "I find thut nearly one-half of tbe goods imported into my territory Is in tbe form of liquor und that of the very worst and most Injurious kind. The native has an idea thut everything the white man uses and exports must necessarily be good aud an essential element in'civilization. It Is therefore common to find a man who Is poor and not able to get sufficient liquor on which to get drunk rubbing a drop on bis bead or on bis mustache In order that people may smell it and call him civilized. "Tbe evil practice has really been in troduced into everything. A feast Is not now a feast unless every partici pant gets drunk with liquor. Moham medans excepted, those of tbe natives who have tbe means to buy liquor are drunk nearly every day. Our chiefs themselves have already gone so far In ibis practice that the least disturb ance always fesults In war, and I can prove from my own knowledge that all tbe wars that have been fought by my tribe since the advent of civilization have l>een brought on by rash action on the part of drinking men. "Here is our beautiful country, teem ing with every natural advantage, ripe for improvement and promising enor mous returns commercially if proper ly bandied. The people are strong, healthy, docile and willing to work for those having lawful authority over them. In many localities, my own among the number, their intelligence Is above the average, certainly far above that of the God forsaken (if such a word be i>ossible) populations of min ing and manufacturing districts throughout Europe. 1 "We need but an honest helping hand to raise us to as high a state of culture as was possessed by most of the dark races at a time when the western con tinent was still In the gloom of bar barism. We are willing to be taught, we are willing to give n large share of the results to those who teach aud em ploy us. but we are not willing to sell body and soul for the very doubtful advantages of civilization as It looks to us. If the present policy continues we cannot tight as men should against the wrong. The poison Is fast doing Its deadly work, and In a few years there will be none of us left to resist the oppressors. But our blood will be ou their heads and will cry to heaven for vengeance. "It Is but very little that we ask? the right to work on our own soil, among our own people, ruled by our own rulers and to be permitted to eat and drink what we think good for us. Instead of having deadly poison pour ed down our throats. Even If foreign powers should for a time be financial losers, they cannot eventually be an.v tliiug but gainers?aided by a country almost unlimited In its capabilities and the willing, grateful service of 20,000, 000 of people rescued from the moral as well as physical death now staring tbem In the face. "We appeal, not to England, not to France, not to Germany, not to other empires and states, but to the con sciences of the Individual men forming such nations. We appeal not for a gift or favor, hut for our right." Temperance and Track Athletics. There is a temperance lesson In the Marathon race of twenty-five miles, which Is always a feature of Boston's celebration of Patriot's day. The doc tors who examine the runners Immedl ately before and after the races de clare that those who are the most sue cessful and suffer the least Injur? from the contest are the ones who have been given no alcoholic stlmn lants either before or during the long hard race. In several cases the run ners who are given a drink of whisky or other stimulant during the race soon find themselves In distress and are obliged to quit running. The win ners had only a bit of lemon Juice or an occasional swallow of water. Inronds of Alcohol In German), Professor Stadelman, principal phy slclan of the great hospital at Fried rlchshaln, r suburb of Berlin, in his latest report says that the Inroads of alcohol among large sections of the working classes in Berlin are appall Ing. He reckons that 7 per cent of all the cases admitted to lis hospital ar? cases of delirium tren. ns and that this In no way covers all the forms of dls ease brought on by Intemperance i tough l.v. lie says, between one-quarter and one-third of the diseases afflicting men In the great districts In Berlin in habited by workmen are caused hr the nse of alcohol. Tht SPORTING WORLD Yoniig Golf Champion. A. G. Barry, the amateur golf cham pion of Great Britain, is to visit Amer ica soon to try his skill against that of our leading cracks. Barry made a gre.tt sensation when be won the title early l:i the summer , at Prestw.ck. Scotland. He is but nine- t t ? A. O. BAHBY. teen years old and a schoolboy, yet be defeated the experience;! veterans with ease. The American star, Walter J. Travis, It will be remembered, won the ama teur championship of Great Britain last year. Points For "Wrestler*. There are certain fundamental prin ciples which all wrestlers should ob serve. The beginner should early learn to follow them, so as to form habits of correctness that he will not swerve from in an exciting moment when his mind Is centered on what he considers more important details. First, the mat performer should keep his hands clinched when on all fours. If he rests his hands flat on the carpet his opponent will be able to seize one or two fingers and by twisting them force his arm Into a dangerous posi tion, or he may dislocate one of the comparatively weak finger joints. So keep your har-ls clinched. Again, be careful how an opponent grasps your wrist. lie may secure a firm hold and twist your arm up over your back into a hammer lock, etc. Do not take your eyes from an oppo nent for a single instant. If he catches you unawares, even for a second or two, your doom may be sealed. Do not release a hold on a man when you think you have secured a fall. Walt until the referee notifies you. Da not be overconfident. Do not be careless. Do not "play horse" with a man you consider an Inferior. He may surprise you any moment. Go In to win and win as speedily as possible. If a man roughs or punishes you se verely with malicious intent call the referee's attention to it. Ball Writer* May I.O?e f.anrel*. Visitors to this country are frequent- j ly Impressed by the nomenclature of our basebail scribes. They read of I "blngles," "benders," "south paws," of "three sackers" and players "dying at first," and ask for explanations. The palm for versatility generally has been conceded to the men who write the sport of the diamond, but they must look to their laurels if the following ex tract from an English pai>er can be taken as the standard of "cricket as she Is now wrote:" Archie's Initial manipulation was a "cow shot" off the left handed repre sentative of the Tyke county, but he was defeated all ends up by a "snorter." which came up with a pronounced swish. Tyldesley followed and ought to have been "pouched" after offering a "sitter" at right angles to his lordship. He "bal looned" Rhodes to the log extremity, but in trying another "skyscraper" was "trundled out" with a "tizzer" from the stalwart Hatgh. The latter spheroid pro peller upset Hallow's equilibrium and up rooted his timber yard with -the subse quent globule, which was more of a "goo gly" than a "swimmer." The widow wlelder was thus out for a "lunar body" ?or "moon." as last year's Cambridge university captain so aptly put It?and forthwith the rabbit hutch opened. Just what the "fizzor." the "googly" and the "swimmer" are like wo cannot state, but they look good. Word paint ing of this description enlivens even a cricket match. I<a!rd'i Iconic Driven. Young l.aird, the Cauadian boy golf er, who la a student at Princeton, Is one of the longest drivers In the ama teur ranks. They have a hole at Princeton 270 yards long, with a bunker 240 yards from the tee, and 1-aird has a record of carrylug this twice in succession. The Mnchle-XIbllck. A good many amateur golfers are taking quite a fancy to the maehle nlbllck. As Its name Implies, the club Is useful for approaching or getting out of long grass or bankers. MiliioM On'srht ?<? Know.

As he was passing along the street! o he met the warden of the jail and told ' l:.:j that he was out for a good-time. i "Can you make any suggestion to ? help me?" asked the rabbit. The warden said that he could not J tlnuk "f anything at that moment, but t a I OFFERED TO POT HIM IN JAIL. offered to put him iu jail for awhile, _ for he thought that he might enjoy i, himself there. * But that was not the kind of fun c that Mr. Rabbit wanted, and he spurn t' ed the offer of the warden. Then he E proceeded on his way, and he had not i> gone far when he heard the report of B a gun. "Here come the hunters!" he cried, and away he darted to escape the sor ry fate that had befallen his cousin only a week before. But the hunters were faster than Mr. Rabbit, and soon they were in sight, and a load of shot caught the poor bunny in the side. His last thoughts were of how much better off he would have been if he had not been so anx ous to have a good time and had ac cepted the warden's offer to let him f< stay in the jail for awhile.?St. Louis Font-Dispatch. 0 1 AO Aoin->?i Story For F Little FolKs tc HOW THE EROC WON THE RACE Everybody knows what a fondness Mr. Frog has for engaging in contests of all kinds with his fellow creatures, so that when lie one day met the crane that long legged bird was not surprised S to receive a challenge. ? "I can get across that pond before you," declared Mr. Frog. "No you can't," replied Mr. Crane, with a laugh. "Well, we'll have a race," declared Mr. Frog, "and the first to get on the "I'M. WAIT FOB HIM." other side of the pond shall marry the J miller's daughter." y "I shall win without trouble," cried Jj Mr. Crane, who was thinking how far a he could stride with his long legs. ^ "We shall see," said Mr. Frog. Jj "Are you read} '/" asked Mr. Crane. a "Yes," answered Mr. Frog. Jj "Uo!" cried Mr. Crane, and awa.v Jj they both went Into the water. Mr. Crane strode boldly in and went ' J, through the water with long steps, rap- <J Idly leaving the shore behind. a into the water ulso wtn. Mr. Frog Jj with a big splash. a When Mr. Crane had gone some dis Jj tauce he stopped and looked around to u see where Mr. Frog was, but that * wary creature was not in sight "Well, I guess I've left him far be hind," said Mi Crane, with a laugh. II "I shall Just wait here for him to catch I up." So he waited and waited, and uo sign I came of Mr. Frog. But presently he heard a voice end ing to him, and when he looked over at the other side of the pond who should Mr. Crone see but Mr. Frog. Mr. Frog had swum all the way un der the surface of the water! S "I told you I would get here tirst," laughed the frog.?Atlanta Constitu tion. |B MMf ! tOMAS A EDISON, the in ' venter, in mapping out the problems of the future, gives I J I J tv of ^ Uj^ fighting the bacteria which JSSMPEft-, give us our diseases. Next to the actual bacteria of dts- | ease, the moequitos and diet ' ra the most dangerous enemies of man. 'he mosquito with its bite injects into our ein? malaria, yellow fever, and other fatal roubles The Ay, with spongy feet, collects | he invisible germs of diseases, spreads bem over our food and poisons us with yphoid, cholera and other plagues of the luman race. Dr. Pierce, the eminent physician of Buf- ! alo, N. Y., says, "If each person will con | ider his system as an army of men which | le controls as a general, and will see to its iroper provisioning ami that it has plenty ?f ammunition in the shape of good red dood. he will be able to overcome the i nexny in these germs of disease." Every lealthy man has five million red blood i ?orpuscles to every square millimeter of tlood. The best tonic for increasing the red ( riood corpuscles and building up healthy ] issue is no doubt I)r Pierce's Golden Med- I cal Discovery. This medicine has been on < he market for over a third of a century ind numbers its cures by the thousand. Many popular patent medicines or tonics ire made up largely of alcohol and will j brink the corpuscles of the blood and nake them weaker for resistance. What I s needed is an alterative extract, like Dr. Perce's Golden M -dical Discovery, made i >f roots and herbs, without the use of alco- ! 10I, that will assist the stomach in assimi ating or taking from the food such ele nents as are required for the blood, also an ( literative that will assist the activity of the ! iver and cause it to throw off the poisons , n the blood. When we have accomplished his we have put the system in a fortified rondition so strong that it can repel the jerms of disease which we find every vhere ? in the street-cars, the shops, the actories, the bedrooms, wherever many j >eople congregate, or where sunlight and : food air do not penetrate. Accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." There is nothing "just as 1 food " for diseases of the stomach, blood j ind lungs. Neglected constipation means headache, leart-burn. sour stomach, foul taste in the nouth, biliousness, pimples, and palpita >f the heart. Constipation is promptly sured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. One for mild cases, otherwise two. nstitute tot College oung y \ vomen and/nnjtpnX Courses ?n"rva- f IX ALL 1 High Standard lusic.
