TJie Rambler Takes a Poetical Text and Preaches Some Per tinent Philosophy, With Literary Finish, for the Guidance of "Sun shine" Members in Their Daily Walks. Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe in crease) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw within the moonlight of his room, Making it rich and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold; Exceeding peace had made Ben Ad hem bold And to the presence in the room he said: 'What writest thou?" The vision! raised its head, And with a look made of all sweet accord, Answered: "The names of those who love the Lord " "And is mine one?" said Abou;"Nay, not fo," Beplied the angel. Abou spoke more low, But cheerily still, and said; "I pray thee, then, Write me as one who loved his fel low men." The angel wrote and vanished. The next night It came again with a great, waken ing light. And showed the names whom love of God had blessed, And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest. "Pnnr Leieh Hunt, with all his faults and all his wonderful genius, i never gave to the world anytmng so i nobly sweet as "Abou ien a.anem. er ana Routs a t orceoiriu No singer of any time has surpassed pinos the exquisite beauty and broad nu- Manila, Nov. 22.

T Vinoo fimpa of political and business strife it is well to recall the immortal word of ADOU, "X pray thee then write me as one wno lovea i.;. fLiinwlmea " That is the essence of human charity; that is Uod's own side of human character. That spirit, -whether in dream or in the sunlight, is illumined by the spirit of tne an gel of the Lord, that spirit is divine, and it is given the divine promise, "And lot Ben Adhem's name led all the rest." So also in all is that prom ise that "this day shalt thou be with me in paradise." There is a blessed ttioueht that, in all the troubles of a;, world, must force itself upon Christian and Pagan alike: "It is even-time and the day is far spent. Abide with us." That brings man closer to the Nazarene than all other expressions ever yet uttered, save that one phrase of His own "Neither do I condemn thee!" If proof were demanded of the Godlike quality of Him who was a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief, men have it there in that judgment! Abou Ben Adhem calls to us across the mystic plain of the years, my be loved calls to us as a prophet speaking as from Holy Writ:T pray thee, then, write me as one who loved his fellow men!" Ah, good Abou, surely all good men and wo men will pray that his tribe increase! His was not of the names of those who loved the Lord. He loved his fellow men, and that pleased heaven. Allah il Allah! God was pleased, and so it will be always. Only the devils and furies harbor hate. Love is the abounding quality of God and the angels, of beautiful and pure wo men and strong men. Love fills all space with celestial harmony. Love kisses the flowers, inspires music and salutes the stars- Love calls across the years of the past and speaks to the gladsome time that hope holds out to us as our own. The doctrine of joy is triumphant. Sorrow and pain, hooded with the mantle of unrest, fall back affrighted in the presence of every cheerful heart that joys in the sunshine, leaps to the song of birds, and beats in unison with the laughter of children We shall not feel the touch of the for the expression "going to the riving from that part of the coun vanished band, nor again hear the dogs " for, generally, this class of try today say that the fields and sound of the voice that is still om there are true hands ana joyous voices enough in this world to' fill our lives with the soft glow of beau tiful peace. It is not given to us to existence with fill the circle of our all the forms and faces we would I have here; but to every one is given the power to open the doors of the soul and let in the flooding beams of the sunshine of kindness, either by gentle deeds or kindly words or both.

Let's Have a Strenous Dog Law and a Liberal Sheep Law in North Carolina Time was in North Carolina when it would have been danger ous in the extreme for a news paper to even intimate "a do law" for this State; and for a legislator to have introduced such a bill in the General As sembly would have been for him political suicidp, if not liable to subject him to personal vio lence when he returned to his constituency. But the ARGUS has persistently for fifteen years adyocated a dog law for this State in behalf of the protection and advancement of sheep cul ture, and a representative from this county some years ago, had the nerve to introduce such a bill in the lower house, but the other "members" of that branch were afraid to tackle it and it died the death. It is an old saying: "the poor er the soil and the thinner the population, the greater is the number of dogs." No doubt some of you have noticed this in your travels around the country. Many people have commeated on it, though we have never heard a satisfactory explanation of the fact. This may account people are shiftless and poverty- striken. We have a good deal of sympathy, however, with a man who is fond of dogs. A dog is aT pretty good companion, and it is vry loneiy in me country. - - .

He duly got a letter from his brother thanking bim for the cjw andcongra ulated himself that he had s,jnt such ru acceptable present. . Some time after, business took him to the part of tha State where bis brother lived and be triok occasion to maKa him a visit. His brother John was delight. ed to see him and they spent a pleasant evening talking over old times. The children were all paraded to shake haads with Uncle Tom, and even the dogs were called in by John, who ex patiated on their different merits. He was particularly enthusiastic over a pointer "Tom." said he, "this is the country. I t. , " nere 18 a Pttrillus U'"UWB in the neighborhood he will find him. There never was such a doer." He went on extolling the G merits of the dog until bis broth er, who was not a sportsman.

Does she give enough milk for the children?" L "Well, the fact is, Tom, it cost so much to feed that cow that I swapped her for this pointer. You see it don't cost much to keep a dog." This little story points a mor al that even the extreme dog crank may not misunderstand. The Argus man is in receipt of a letter this week from a gen tleman in Wabash, Ind., making close inquiry about securing a suitable tract of land in this sec tion for sheep raising, and one of the questions he asks is about what protection is provid ed by the laws of the State for sheep against the ravages of dogs. Let's have a comprehensiye dog law. ARKANSAS STORM-SWEPT. Great Damage to Crops, Tim ber, Houses and Lives. Clarendon. Ark., Nov. 23. The most severe windstorm that ever visited this section of the country passed through the easteru part of Monroe county Tuesday afternoon. The path of the storm was from 300 yards to a quarter of a mile in width, almost everything in its way was demolished. Out- buildings, such as negro shanties and cotton sheds and fences, were all in waste. Persons ar- roads are strewn witn articles oi household furniture, clothing, boards and debris. Cotton in the field was swept away, one man declaring that his field was cieaneu. uy tu wiun a ixy aa . . v t i a i . i n tne picKers naa gone idtoubq it. beverai persons were injured, some of whom it is thought may TO CTTKK A DOID IS ONE DAT Take Laxative Bromo Qaiaine Tab lets.

News of the Stage, Social, Politi cal and Otherwise, Culled From Our Exchanges. The battleship Kentucky has sailed for Smyrna, and the Sultan will probably, at least, give Uncle Sam another little due bill. It seems that Uncle Sam and the Kaiser have agreed, for about ,the tenth time, on the Chinese negotia tions, and the general public knows about as much as they did before. The late Henry Vilard gave away a great deal of money during his lifetime. In addition to numerous benefactions bestowed on European charitable and educational institu tions, he contributed liberally to the Oregon and Washington State uni versities, Harvard, Columbia, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National History Museum in Central Park, New York. It is fortunate, indeed, that the latest feat of medical skill, which is nothing less than furnishing the pa tient with a new mouth, was not brought prominently forward until after election. Otherwise the re straint which some of the spell-binders put upon themselves might have been lacking and there would have been even more strenuous speech making than there was. According to a special from Noga les, Arizona, two black bears captur ed in Santa Rita Mountains by Mark Lully, local hunter, are to march in the inaugural parade in Washington next March as the result of an elec tion bet. W. H. Hoey, Collector of the Port of Nogales, agreed to take the bears East and lead them in the parade if McKinley was elected. Af ter the parade the animals, which are named McKinley and Bryan, will be feiven to the Washington Zoolog ical Gardens. The suggestien that any attempt! on the part of the United States to I put an embargo on impecunious for- eigners of title who come to this country m search of rich wives will be inet,so far as F ranee i concerned, by an embargo on American pork is noc leaiiui. xhe Jb'iench people have to eat, and will naturally want the beut thty can get. A lie American people are fond enough, in bpots, of titled iortune-nuntert, but will never feel that they are a necessity. In any such plan of retaliation France would get tLe worst of it. Vice CoDbul Harrison, of Asun cion, making a report . o the State Department about hats imported into v Jraraguay, says that Uerbys, which cost about $2 apiece in the United btates, sell there for $4 and sometimes $5. Here is clearly a mat ter that has been overlooked by the protectionists or things would be so arranged that hats, like agricultural implements and other protected products, could be sold at higher prices at home than in foreign coun- tries. The Hat Trust ie getting the worst of it, evidently. The critical illness of Governor- elect William J. Samford and the hopeless nature of his malady, says a Birmingham correspondent, has given rise in Alabama to an unprece dented complication. The Conbtitu tion of Alabama is defective in that it does not provide for an emergen cy such as will arise in the event that Colonel Samford is unable to take the oath of office, or dies before December 1st. The Constitution is silent upon the question of who is to succeed a Governor-elect if he dies or fails to qualify within the prescribed time; it merely states that the Governor shall serve two years and 'hintil his successor is elected and qualifies." Many hold that the present Governor, Joseph F. Johnson, will continue to serve until the expiration of the . term for which Colonel Samford was elected, providing the latter dies or fails to qualify. ' IP BRYAN MAY RUN AGAIN. Recent Utterances Indicate Tliat tne Nebraskan May Not Yet be Satisfied. Mexico, (Mo.,) Dispatch, 23d. In a letter received here to-day from W, J. Bryan-he says: 1 'Still beleivirg in the princi ples set lorth in the Chicago platform, I shall continue to de fend them, believing the Ameri can people will yet see the neces sity for the Repudiation of Republicanism." This statement is the third made by Mr. Bryan since the election indicating that be intends to con tinue in the political field just as he has been. Shrev d politicians are now of the opinion that Mr. Bryan ex pects again to be a candidate for the presidency. That his candida cy will bring on a great fight in the party,in which Mr. Bryan will be opposed by mny of his strong est supporters in the past, is shown by the deliberate statement of Hon. J. K. Jones, national Democratic chairman, that he did not consider it at all probable that Mr. Bryan would be nominated. The statement of Mr, Bryan printed above is thought to mean that he is still in the field. Bryan to Talk on December 25. Lincoln, Neb., Dispatch, 22d. Mr. Bryan will make his first public speech since the close of the campaign at a banquet to be ten dered to him in this city on De cember 25. The banquet will be given by the Jeffersonian Club, and ie intended asthe initial step tow&rd the formation of a strong organ'zation in the West, against the proposed "reorganiza ion" of the Democratic party by Eastern Democrats. It is expected that Mr. Bryan will state his position on tbat question in words that w 1' not adm t of doula construe tion. FKEE BLOOD AND SKIN CURE An Otter Proving Faith.
