CAN'T PURIFY THE DANCE.
Preacher Speaks of It as 'Bait ol
the Devil.'
Dr. John Roach Siraton, preach
ing noi long ago in Calvary Baptist
Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., attacked
the modern dance a "a bait of the
devil." Referring to the recent
convention of the American Na
tional Association of Dancing Mas
ters, he said : "Tlte plea these
men make that thev desire to
purify the dance' and make it safe
idle and entirely beside the point.
ou cannot purify a polecat!"
The action of the dancing mas-
tors in naming their new dance
The Wesleyan," Dr. Siraton de
clared, was an insult to the entire
hrisiian world. I he new dance,
he prophesied, will "soon be
urned into "The Wesleyan Wig
gle," and will be followed by "The
lippiscopal Embrace," "The Con
cretion Canter," "The Presby
terian Promenade" and "The John
the Baptist Bounce."
The only way to fight this "bait
of the devil," he said, is to destroy
root and branch. "The weak
xcusesof that people make in
justification of the modern dance
are idle. Some say we ought to
dance for the sake of grace, but
the only grace in the modern dance
is the disgrace of it."

EVER BILIOUS?
Charleston, Miss. Mrs. R. V. Heins, of this place,
says: "I have never had to use very much medicine,
because if I felt headache, dizziness, or colds, bad taste
in the mouth, which comes from torpid liver, I would
take a dose or more of Black-Draught, and it would
straighten me out and make me feel as ood as new.

and it certainly is the best liver medicine I ever saw.
it has not only saved me money, it has helped keep my
system in shape, and has never weakened me as so
many physics do. I recommend it t ) my friends and am
glad to do so." Black-Draught is the eld, reliable liver
medicine which you have doubtless heard much about.
When you feel badly all over, stomach not risjht, bad
taste in your mouth, bilious, or have a headache, try
Thedford's Black-Draught. At all Druists.

The ititul luck ol'coitipiuhciisioii
between the American ncgni and
his Algerian brother will (jn down
in history its one of the ouistund
iiiR femures of the war.
There was, for instance, the case
of the dusky stevedore at lirest
and one of the colored troops on
duty there. Long and laboriously
the Yank tried to establish some
means of linguistic communication,
but there was no response.
Then a brilliant thought struck
the boy from Georgia. He pro
duced a pair of ivory cubes and
rolled them enticingly under the
Algerian's nose. Intelligence still
registered zero.
"Matt," said Sam in disgust.
"You ain't no cullud pusson. You
ain't even no human. You is just
a corpse."
