With the Beast, Kills It by
Blow With Club.
With only nature's weapons Whit
ney Dodsou, a prospector of Alamille
(Cal.) district, fought for his life a
40-pound wildcat, finally killing him
with a club.
Captured at the Roy West mine and
apparently thoroughly tamed th ani
mal was allowed liberty and behaved
well until Dodson attempted to snap
shot him with a camera, whereupon
all the old-time ferocity of Its specleH
sprang up. In a .lecond the ar.!mal
sprung on the man, sinking Its teeth
Into his thigh. Down the mountain
elde, through brush and undergrowth,
rolled cat and man.
The beast, clinging to Dodson with
Its teeth, ripped and tore with Its
claw. Dodson finally seized the ani
mal by the throat, and after a time
forced It to loosen its hold. He then
snatched up a club and when the cat
again made for him he crushed Its
head with a el)-dtrected blow.

His Claim.
John Skelton Williams, controMor
of the currency, speaking before i.he
Southern society at New York, ald
that he had put many persons under
obligation to himBolf Just how many
he had not realized until one man
came to him In Washington to borrow
ten dollars.
"1 didn't recall the fellow," Williams
said, "and at last I asked him: 'See
here, why should I lend you ten dol
lars?' "
"Well, the man answered hopeful
ly,, "I thought you'd remember me. I
heard you make that speech in Rich
mond lust week I was the fellow who
Btayed through to the end.' "

WILL GET THEIR EYES OPENED.
"When liquor is put out of America
I believe it will be by the men who
drink," says Hon. Seaborn Wright of
Georgia. "If they could realise bow
they are being deceived there would
be ten thousand Hoston tea parties
today."
"Do ;ou know," he continued," that
It cost less than twenty tenia to
make one gallon of whisky? Then
why Is it that the man who drink
pays two or three dollars lor an arti
cle which costs less than twenty cents
to produce? I wonder how aiany men
wbo drink stop to oak, "Waj & I pay
twelve hundred per cent above toa
cost to produce It, twelve hudred per
cent more than my father paid before
the Civil war?' The answer to simple.
The federal government has pluced a
revenue of one dollar a ad tea eeots
on each gallon of liquor. If U ended
there then a revenue of twe blllloa
dollars would be paid. I)mt the nanu
facturer turns to his clerk an says,
'Add the cost of productive to the
price.' Never on earth has the liquor
trust paid one dollar to the federal
government and It never will."
NORTH CAROLINA CONDITIONS.
Speaking of the condition Id North
Carolina, Mr. M. U Shipntea, elate
commissioner of labor, says:
"Whisky distilleries have bwe dis
placed with industrial plants aid over
the remains of the salooa have been
erected Bplendid school bindings aad
magnificent church edifices. In Gas
ton county alone 2G dlBtlDerles were
in operation undo former eoiditlona
It now boasts of 47 textile plants, em
ploying more than 7,000 people, and
makes the further cla'ra ef having
one of the finest systems of public
schools in the state. This condition
prevails generally throughout the com
monwealth. Instead of spending their
weekly earnings In saloons, and fre
quently In ,ioHce stations, the wage
earners o: -orth Carolina are now
providing n abundance of wholesome
food and adequate clothing for their
families."
EFFECT OF A GLASS OF BEER.
It has been scientifically demonstra
ted by experiments made In the
Swedish army that evea small quan
tity of alcohol decreases the marks
manship of the man behind the gun.
Under Lieutenant Bengt Boy a squad
of soldiers were put throagh a test
after having gone witboat beer for a
certain period of time. Oat of a to
tal of 30 targets their average was 23
shots.
Later these same soldiers were al
lowed a gluBB of beer apiece one eve
ning and another glass the following
morning, and the average naaiber of
hits that afternoon was three. Te
check up this result which seemed out
ot reason, another test without beer
was made some days later, wheu these
same soldiers averaged 26 hits.
BREWERIES REPLACED.
From Spokane, Wash., cornea word
that the Dollar Brewery building, lo
cated on the fort grounds. Is being
torn down to make way for a paper
mill. The North Yakima brewery la
to be connected with a fruit preserv
ing and fruit canning factory, and will
also make grape Juice, vinegar and
other fruit extracts. The manager of
this brewery is not only reconciled to
but Is enthuslastlo over the change.
Thousands of tous of fruit go to waste
every year in Washington and Ore
gon, and, be says, a great Industry can
be built up in the packing and canning
business which will bring great pros
perity to these states.
SENTIMENT AGAINST LIQUOR.

countries, there Is a very rapidly grow
ing sentiment against the drink traf
fic. Mrs. Parker, sister of Earl Kitch
ener, declares that between 34 and 4
per cent of the new soldiers are being
rendered Inefficient throagh drink and
attendant evils, and she statea that
the prime minister admits the per
cent to be from 10 to IS. Mrs. Park
er says, "Russia has done away with
Intoxicants. Why not Britain?"

ernor of the Panama Canal tone, Col.

ONLY THING TO DO. .
If a drunken man can't get liquor,
what will he get? Hell got sober.
Faith.
Faith Is more than a mental de
cision; It's a surrender of the will. It
Is more than a verdict; It Is the exe
cution of the verdict It ts of momen
tous Importance to remember that
the very core of faith Is motion a
movement of the will toward the. Holy
Lord. The act of faith is tbe.yielding
of the personal lire to the Uod who
is revealed to us In Jesus Christ our
Lord. And the life of faith la the
constant repetition of that act of sur
render until the repeated acta become
an attitude and every choice and will
In life Is stamped with the pleasure
and fear of God. J. H. Jo etc
