There is a slaughter of the in
nocents still going on in the
world. Some parents who think
they love their children are vet
destroying them, or, at least,
marring them. The striven to
crush the first outcrop of genius
or originality, as they would
stan.j) out a deadly microbe'.'
They seem to want jheir little
ones to be like the well-trained,
uniformly-clipped box of a' re
spectable hedger forgetting that
between two children of. the
same family there may be , as
wide a diit'erence as between the
simple brier rose, content to
give sweetness to humble way
side fences, and the'magnificent
jassion flower whjch drajes in
purple splendor the walls of a
stately dwelling.

air and sunshine, moisture and
nutriment, and the thirsty,
roots selected and absorbed the
leaves transmuted the aerial el
ements into a green glory, the
flowers expanded and gave forth
perfume.
Parents, heed your responsi
bilities, recognize your power
limitations. Let your little
ones attempt the thing they aim
sto do, ninety-nine times, if ne
cessary. The hundredth time
may prove to the world that
vou! have given it a new Shake
speare, a new Michael - Angelo,
a new Beethoven, a new Ctish
maii or Siddons.
Not only refrain from discour
aging or ridiculing them, but
give them every active encour
agement in your power. At the
cost of everything but honor,
see to it that they have a chance
to follow the chosen career.

Thsy May Be Happy Yet-
The Atlanta Journal says : A
marriage will shortly take place
in Atlanta under the most novel
circumstances. The lady in the
case is now a. widow, but the
man who will wed her loved
ler before she married. She
oved the other fellow and mar
ied him. Her persistent friend
ilso married. Time wrought
changes in the affairs of both.
iltlioiiiih both little dreamed
dse thaji that they had been
separated for all time. The
nisband of the lady died. The
wife of the persistent one died.
When the prop'er time after-
rai'd came for a communica
tion on the subject he wrote her
le still loved her-. She hesita
ted, however, and said she did
not believe she cared.for him
yet. In despair, and being a
mariying sort of a man, he won
the affections of a certain young
woman and the day was" set for
the nuptials. He wrote the
ong-time object of his heart of
the event, and she changed her
mind, as. women sometimes do.
She said, now that he seemed
to go out of her life, she really
bought she might love him.
Forthwith he backed out of the
other engagement, hastened to
the foot of the lady, and now,,
after all these vicissitudes, after
two marriages and almost a
third, they will become man
and wife.
Heard Baby's Cry 300 Miles-
' "Last summer," savs a tele
phone manager of Chicago, "a
big. portly, smiling but excited
man rushed in and asked if he
could reach Evansville, Ind. by
phone. He . was assured that
he could, and in about two min
utes he disappeared in a booth
to talk to his wife. Well, he
talked about' fifteen minutes.
Finally he bounced out of the
box, slapping his thigh.
'They're on me, gentlemen,' he
said' 'ITl be right back.' He
darted out, and in two minutes
was back with a box of as good
cigars as I ever smoked. 'It's
a boy!" he exclaimed, 'and he's
got about as good lungs as I
ever heard at close range!''
Then he told the story. He
had to be absent from home
and a telegram had just come no
tifying him of the new arrival;
lie had rushed into the office j
called up his residence and in
sisted tha-t the nurse bring th
baby to the telephone and make
it laugh or cry. It cried, and
he heard it three hundred miles
away."
"When Baby was sick, ure gave her Castoria.
When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria.
When she became Miss, she clung to Castoria. i
When she had Children, she gave them Castoria.

ZA0HARY TAYLOR'S FACE-
It .Appears Now as it Did When
the Body Was Entombed-
On . Tuesday, April 27, says
t
le Milwaukee evening Wiscon-
sin
while New Yorkers were
'
doing honor to the '.memory of
General Grant, a small ..group of
friends" of another President
went to his tomb to look at his
sturdy face and "recall the sto
ries of; his stirring lie, which
went out almost, a century ago.
The few friends surrounded the
modest tomb of old Rough and
Read' Taylor in a graveyard
scarcely a stone's throw 'beyond
the limits of Louisville, Ky.
Accompanied by a Louisville
undertaker, thev were making
their annual visijt to. the. tomb
to inspect the metallic case to
see that every joint was sealed
so as to prevent the air from
entering.
The gla-Hs covering the face of
the dead executive is always
exposed at tnese- limes, iiie
face' was wonderfully preserved ,
and the features looked, but for
a few wrinkles, just as they did
47 vears ago. Ihe face was as
white as marble, and everything
about the -body seemed to be un
changed and perfectly pre
served. '
The Taylor family burial
ground is two miles northeast
of St. Matthew s, a suburb of
Louisville, on the shdrt Line
Railroad, and is one of the most
beautiful in the State. Proba
bly, with the one exception of
the first President at Mount
jVernon, none of the executives
of the United States lies in a
more beautiful spot than does
General Zachary Taylor.
I The burial ground isf within
300 yards of the old Taylor
homestead. It is within 200
yards of the Brownsboro pike,
land occupies exactly an acre,
lit slopes to the east, and is sur
rounded by a 5-foot wall of
stone. This wall has stood for
many years, but not a sign of
decay or carelessness in its
keeping can be seen. It stands
solid and firm and gives prom
ise of standing for a century
yet.
Just to the east of the en
trance is the vault which con
tains the body of the ex-President,
ft is one -of those old
fashioned, plain vaults, which
are now Seldom seen. A cover-!
ing of myrtle keeps it green the
year around.
Sloping U) ward the road the
vault can be easily seen by'
travellers. The plain, solid
iron door has no inscription,
but on a marble slab above the
door are the words : Zachary

REV- SAM JONES-
Writes About "Society Gam
blers" and ' ' Stage : Artisi;:
Thefollowing lines were writ
ten by Sam Jones, while he was
conducting a meeting at Augus
ta Ga., recently.
In August;u as in Atlanta,
high society's gambling is writ
ten up with a great iiourish in
the society columns of pur daily
paper's. The gambling of low
society is quietly registered on
the books at police headquar
ters. The high society gam
blers exhibit their silverware,
cut-glass vases and others so-
called souvenirs of the game to
their admiring callers. The
gamoiers oi tne lower circles
quietly slip their money in their
pockets. The high society gam
blers teach the boys and girls of
pur best homes to gamble ; the
gamblers of the lower circles
usually play only with confirm
ed gamblers. The gambler of
the higher circles take the poor
boys and girls from Christian
homes, debauneh them by gam
bling and then drop them into
the depths ; the gamblers of the
lower circles gamble with those
who are already fallen. The
gamblers of the higher circles
teach our boys and girls to '. be
drunkards, by sipping punch
from cut-glass bowls : the lower
order of gamblers continue this
appetite with liquor from the
old black bottle . The gamblers
of the higher circles are toasted
by the' world, while the gam
blers of the lower order are
roasted by the authorities. ' We
roast all gamblers alike. In
Augusta, as in other cities, the
commercial gambler of the high
er circles gambles on coiton fu-
tures, grain futures and other
uncertain markets, the com
mercial gambler of the lower or
der plays poker for ' the clean
stuff.
In Augusta, as in all large ci
ties, the higher circles of society
feed their lusts in the licensed
gilded theatres, as they look up
on the nude forms of immoral
women styled "stage artist;"
the lower classes feed their lusts
on the licensed houses of ill-fame
by their association with lewd
characters called "so 1 1 exl
doves." To the former place
the husband takes his wife and
I'll ji 1 1 a
pure cmiaren ; to tne latter
place he goes alone. In the
former place, our. pure girls and
innocent boys sit side side to
be debauched ; from . the latter
place our pure girls are shield
ed and only a wayward boy is
occasionally caught. In the
former the wives and mothers
of ouv country are debauched :
by looking on immoral scenes
as all kinds of domestic immor
alities and lustful tricks and
intrigues are presented upon the
stage, suggesting tricks and
plans and ways and means
which have been the downfall
of thousands of our: once happy
homes. In the latter, only the
husband is debauched, .while
pure wife lingers at home with
the children. In the former
the impure woma-n.is toasted by
high societvas an actress : liLi-lie
latter the poor woman is roasted
)' the police as a ' 'scarlet wom
an." The former feeds lust in
its infancy ; the latter feeds the
full developed lust. The form
er intimates -the innocent ; the
latter receives only the guilty .'
We roast the former, we pity
the latter..

That the popularity of this man is not decreasing is shown by
thelactions of the Kentucky Democrats in their state convention
held at Frankfort last week, pnly one dissenting vote in a thou
sand was cast against the following resolution :
"We endorse the canvass by William J. Bryan, the nominee
of the Democratic party for the presidency in the late election.
We commend its wisdom, approve it as just ianri fair to nil par
ties and all interests of otirvommon country. We recognize in
him the fearless orator and statesman and tint great champion
of the people's rights against the monied power, monopolists,
the syndicates and the trusts. We pledge him the support of a

DOG CARRIES A MESSAGE
EIGHTY MILES.
Faithful to the Tkust

Owner.
Friday morning, when Land

went to, his front door at an ear -

i i ,i ...
log lyingonthe piazza says a
Y aterVllle (Me.) dlSpatcll tO the
Boston Herald.
Attached tO the dog's Collar
was a piece of oilcloth such as
is worn nowadays by river driv
ers. .This was rolled up and
tied to the leather strap about
the dog's neck. Inside the roll
of oilcloth was found a piece of
paper bag, crumpled and
soiled, on which was rudely
nrintedin ink. or painted, the
i ' . .
ollowing: "Sefcn Hons is al
din 28 folk is sik smalpox al sik
bloe dog, jony wood."
Landlord Hilton stood as
tounded, but soon" roused the
louse, and all' began to study
out the thing. 1 he dog was
not recognized, but the" name,
evidently that of "Johnny
Woods," a half-breed Indian,
was recalled, the owner having
Visited Hilton's on several 'oc
casions. .
Mr. Hilton figured it out that
the settlements known as Seven
Islands was stricken with small
pox, and that i Johnny Woods
had writtenU tlje message and
ent the dog out to some settle
ment.
A party was at once organized
to start an Expedition from Hil
ton's up the Canada road into
Canada, as far north as Ashbur-
ton, and then to proceed east of
Keven Islands in Aroostook
Count,' to relieve the settle-j
