TO PRESBYTERY ON ELEPHANTS.

Experience of a Montgomery County Girl in India Traveling Across the Country. Mrs. Dora B. Taylor, daughter of Samuel S. Martin, of Darlington, went to India a few months ago, as a missionary. A letter written to her father describing her trip to a meeting of the Presbytery will be of interest to those in this county who go to religious any all other conventions so comfortably and quickly, by me ins of the iron horse, The letter reads as follows:

GOING TO A MEETING OF THE NOITTH LAOS PRESBXTERT. When the 25th of November, a day long expected, dawned it found us all bustle preparing for the trip to Presbytery. The preparations must needs be quite extensive for four days oamping out by jungle stream and mountain brook. Owing to a number of una void able circumstances, no surprise howeter to one who knows the ways of thiscoun try, we were disappointed in getting enough elephants for our party of four to ride, so two of us must needs go horse bock. At 10 o'clock we left our own and the mission belonging to the foster ing care of our watchmen and the tender mercies of the natives and started for Cheung Mai, a cavalcade of two ele phants and two horses, aocompanied by a number of carriers and some footmen taking that opportunity for a visit to the capital of this North Laos country.

The first inoident worthy of note was an accident whioh happened not more than two miles out. Just as the carriers were leaving a foot bridge whioh span lake Ka Ting, one of them hurt his foot so badly as to prevent his going on with his load. For some distance we had fair roads, but to us who were on horaebaok it seemed that most of the afternoon was spent in an irrigating ditohs the road through the rice fields being then olosed to all but foot passenger. An unknown number of oattle and buffalo had been along that way mixing the water and mud to the depth that the burly elephants weight had forced his feet to penetrate. Not until beyond the rice fields aroung Hang Sat did we esoape the ditches, and then it was but a short distance to our first camping ground. We knew that the carriers had been delayed some by the accident, and so set about amusing ourselves until they should arrive. But when at last the sun had gone down and darkness was fast settling about us we, knowing how much these people dislike going about after dark, began to fear lest they would fail us altogether. Then we would be in a predicament for they had our tents and provisions. It was pitch dark before the first man appeared and then we had something to eat but then there was still no news from the tents nor did they arrive until very late indeed. Welcome we mauethem however, when they did come. We had scarcely oomposed ourselves for sleep when we discovered that a mistake had been made in locating the tents. Indeed the whole oamp awoke to a realization of the same fact with regard to their habitations. What the native called "fire-ants" had preempted that region and they made a business of disputing the rights of possession with us all night long. No one but some boys who were along seemed to enjoy the fun.

On Tuesday the trail led us up a mountain brook a good portion of the time. That night we camped just on top of the mountain in a lovely spot, and enjoyed our rest notwithstanding the tiger scare the men tried to work up the night. They were sufficiently frightened by the animai's cry, which awoke us all with a start, to get up and rebuild their campfires and set a watch. Nothing more was heard of it however.

Wednesday proved to be our hardest day's travel. It was two o'clock before we passed the last Bpurof the mountain. At Lapoon we lodged in the mission house. This is one of the Chung Mai mission out-stations. We enjoyed the evening with the people who came to hear the message Rev. J. Wilson had for them. The Lapoon province is noted in this land for its fine roads, so our ride on Thursday waa much more pleasant,especially the part through the fine oil tree groves. Wo were all extremly glad however when at last we turned into the mission compound at the girls' school in Chung Mai and found ourselves among a welcoming oompany whose hearts we knew beats as ours in the cause of our Lord.

Suoh is going to Presbytery in Loas land. A journey of sixty miles completed in four days. You may imagine the tiresome pace at whioh we moved and that is very little relieved by the monotony of packing and unpacking everything daily. Save that we had four elephants instead of two the return was like unto the going even to the removal of the all night tussel with ants the last night out, though we chose anew camping ground trying to escape the pests of our first night's experience.

Saturday afternoon, almost three weeks from the day we started, we hailed the first sight of our Lokawn homes with joy. Glad, yes thrice glad, that we went for the twelve days spent in Chung Mai was a happy time for us and right glad we will be to welcome the meeting of the Presbytery in Lakawn next December.

Presbytery convened Thursday evening, Deo. 3, '89. We listened to an excellent sermon by the retiring moderator, on the parable of the leaven. Hugh Taylor was reoeived from Platte Presby. Mo., U. S. A., the offioerg were elected and then we were ready for business. Two days were taken up by the meetings the most interesting and profitable of whioh were those given to the free conversation on the state of religion in the several, churches. There is no doubt but what' Christianity a radical ohange in the lives of thdse who adopt it now that the ohurch is rapidly spreading over the land. On

hearts are much encouraged to push the work in our new station of Lakawn and rouud about. On Sabbath we had the pleasure

oi

partaking of the Lord's

supper with over three hundred native Christians. Monday we held our annual mission meeting. We wish the report could be published. It would be very interesting to those interested in the mission cause. The greater portion of the rest of our time was Bpent in visiting tLe girls' and boys' sohools. As it was the close of the terms we had the pleasure of listening to the examinations, which reflected a decided credit on the instructors.

"THE BEEF TRUST."

A farmers' View of the Indiana Dressed Beef Law. Totlio Editor Journal.

I have read Senator Mount's letters to THE JOURNAL with considerable interest, but I take issue with him on what he calls the great "Beef Trust. I think I have investigated that question pretty well. A few weeks ago I visited the great slaughtering establishment of P. D. Armour & Co.,and Swift Bro.'s at Chicago. Their facilities for dressing beef are unsurpassed in the world, and I can not oppose any man for buying all the surplus oattle in the West, and employ two ^thousand five hundred western men to do the slaughtering in place of shipping them as live stock to the East and have them slaughtered there by Eastern men. We all heard the same old song ten years or more ago, when these great wagon factories began shipping their cheap farm wagons. All over the country in every village we had a wagon maker, "Oh," they oried, '"they are going to ruin the business by selling wagons at

Buch

prices. I can't put up a wagon for less than $85 and the factory wagons are offered at $55, and as low as $48." Why not prohibit the Moline wagon from Illinois, or the Fish Bros., wagon from Racine, Wis., from coming in here and driving suoh infant industries as W. E. Faunce, of Waynetown, out of the business of manufacturing. Then why not allow P. D. Armour to send his cheap dressed beef to Waynetown, and let Mr. Faunce buy oheap beef while tho people are buying cheap factory wagons. But the greatest good for the greatest number is the Senator's polioy and he is right on that point. While a few small wagon makers had to quit the business a hundred thousand farmers were benefited by getting a wagon for $30 less money. The oountry butcher can no more compete with these large beef establishments, than the oountry wagon milker can compete with Studebaker Bros. Thousands of poor people oould have rosist for dinner, but for that Chinese wall called the "Dressed Beef Bill," that stands between them and their right to buy where their money would bring a roast in place of a shank soup bone. The wagon factories buy our timber in the tree and ship it to their factories. Their facilities are so complete that no hand workman can compete with them. And it is the same with the beef cattle. The Senator claims that the dressed beef men will sell their beef at a lower figure than the local butcher until they get control of the markets and then they raise the price of beef higher than the looal butcher sold. Think for a moment of the live hogs that are shipped out of Montgomery county, and are Bhipped book as dressed meat and compete with the farmers "country cured" hams and bacon. Our local butchers at Wingate packed a few hogs last year, and they say they lost money on their hogs. Now if they had a prohibitory law to keep

Kingan & Co., and P. D. Armour &Co., from shipping in their cured meats the venture might have been a financial suoess. Thisisolass legislation pure and simple and should be erased from our statute book as quick as possible.

Cured by Cuticura

If I had known of the uuticura Kennedies twenty-eight years ago it would have saved me $200.00 (two hundred dollars) and an immense amount of suffering. My disease (psoriasis) commenced on my licad in a spot not larger than a cent. It spread rapidly all over my body and got under my nails. The scales would drop off of me all tho time, and my suffering was endless and without relief. One thousand dollars would not tempt me to have this disease over again. I Mil a poor man, but feel rich to bo relieved of what some of the doctors said was leprosy, some ringworm, ps6rlasls, etc. .took and sarsapaiillas over one year and a If, but no cure. I went to two or three doctors, and no cure. I cannot

raise the Cuticura Remedies too much. They made my skin as clear and free from scales as a baby's. All I used of them were three boxes of Cuticura, aud three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and two cakes of Cuticura Soap. If you had been here and said you would have cured me for $200.00, you would have had the money, I looked like the picture in you book of psoriasis (picture number two "How to Cure Skin Diseases,") but now lam as clear as any person ever was. Through force of habit I rub my hands over my arms and legs to scratch once In a while, but to no purpose. I am as well. 1 scratched twenty-eight years, and itgottoboa kind of second aaturc to me.
