Religious Notes and News.

REAL CHRISTIANS.—We want more real Christians, not so many make-be-lieves. If you want to find out what kind of a Christian a man is, ask- his business partner, his wife and his nextdoor neighbor.—Dwight Moody, Evangelist, at New Bedford, Mass.

MARRIAGE —Impress upon the people the importance of marriaga. The number of single men is alarmingly on the increase. Something must be done, and the man should share the punishment and disgrace that is meted out to the unfortunate woman. Let us preserve the sanctity of the home, the church, the school. Incorporate into the body politic the importance of a universal law of reform for the social evil.—J. H. Craig, Allegheny, Pa.

AMERICANISM.—The need of the hour is the maintenance of all that is distinctly and pre-eminently true to the American idea. The spirit of patriotism and loyalty can not well obtain in the midst of those who remain un-American in thought, ambition, education and desire. Immigrants should be compelled to burn their ships behind them and lay aside the evils of countries from which they come. —Rev. F. T, D. Bickley, Methodist, Wheeling, W, Va.

CUBA—God is fighting with the Cubans. In the first place he has given to them wise leaders, whose humane methods and masterly maneuvers during the last few months have won universal admiration. He has favored them with a country peculiarly adapted to the mode of warfare in which they are best versed. He has given to them a climate whose deadly miasma thins the ranks of the enemy faster than bullets and bombs. In the last place, God has given to the Cubans the sympathy of every people who hate inhumanity, ferocity and despotism.—Rev. Augus Macdonals, Congregationalist, Jacksonville, Fla.

THE FUTURE CHURCH—There is room now in the world only for churches whose influence comes from their goodness, morality, justice, charity, reasonableness, weight of argument and amount of truth. A church which demands, or claims, anything more than the simple authority of the truth is a church in which liberty is crucified. I believe in churches which are large-thoughted, which ignore all class distinction, which broaden men and demand that men shall think for themselves, which holds a theory that is axiomatic and practical, and which pushes only self evident truths. Such churchcs are only the pillar and ground of truth. Give the world such churches, and the religious creed will soon cease to be unpopular.— Rev. David Greeg, Presbyterian, Brooklyn, N, Y.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

Settlers Trying to SxtermfnAte thit PosHferotu and Cowardly. Coyaiw. [Special Correspondence.]

ABILENE, Kan., Nov. 5.—With the retarn of cold weather the annual attempt of the settlers on the prairies to kill off the coyotes, or prairie wolves, is resumod. It is a never ending struggle, yt rr~ vrhich cannot be relinquished, for the pestiferous creatures are the bane of the farmer's life. The coyote is born withou rtlid never acquires it. He is a slinking coward by nature and seems rather proud of this characteristic of his bo-rig Ho is a hanger on, a skirmisher, and is always, as Mark Twain puts it, "out of luck and friendless."

During recent years the coyote has inI creased upon the plains of western Kansas and Nebraska. The depredations upon I flocks and herds of the frontier have become so numerous and extensive as to warrant counties in offering rewards for scalps of theso unscrupulous beings. Many western Kansas counties hove until recently offered $3 each for these wolf scalps, but the large number brought in for payment made it necessary to change the figure, and now few offer more than $1 each.

_. a K«/»lr J-ii suiiiu uuuuwra iiuu uayniujju jiur swwua Ohio, refused to send the amounted to moro than $1,000 a year, and to their respective States as requested by people could not afford it, President Clevr'an:1.. This so displeased Mrs. C. that she at one time refused to shake hands with Foraker. Now Foraker will go to Washington as U. S. Senator, while Cleveland stands rebuked by almost the entire country turning down Clevelandism.

In some counties the payment for scalps

The habits of the coyote are peculiar. No region is too desolate or too lonesome for him to make a home. He lives on good terms with the owl and the rattlesnake. He is always lean, and his hide looks like a faded out and dilapidated wagon robe thrown loosely over a skeleton. His chief pleasure is in an unearthly midnight howl, in whie'i numbers join, in order to terrify some hapless flock or belated traveler. Many a settler driving his prairie schooner over the prairie has been I kept in trembling fear by the shrill howl of the coyotes that followed his wagon.

During the summer they aro less bold, but as winter conies on the barnyards suffer, and, once banded together, they have no hesitancy in making attacks on lonesome cabins and frightened wayfarers. In all attacks, however, there is never any bravery shown, but for hours the besiegers will sit on their haunches at a distance and

weak victim to appear. The average prairie settlor has no fear of the coyote so far as personal dangor is concerned. He knows that the sheep may bo pounced upon, frightened and some killed, young calves may be dragged down and made to serve as a feast for the wolves, but for himself he will not bo touched so long as he has strength and means to defend himself. But he knows that if opportunity presents damage will ensue. For this he hates the coyote and hunts him to the death at every opportunity.

Often the wolves multiply in their holes in the sandy hills to such an extent that organized neighborhood hunts are arranged in order to kill off the surplus population of this undesirable kind. The whole community turns out with its bost hunters, and the wolf infested region is surrounded by a cordon of well armed hunters. Gradually closing in, the constant "bang, bang," tells well enough the

THE COYOTE.

story. Such coyotos as aro not killed are, when their holes can be found, smoked out and their end settled quickly.

Little use exists for hunting the coyote with dogs. Only two creatures on the plains can outstrip the coyote—the antelope and greyhound. But the greyhound is afraid of the snarling, snapping Ishmaelite, while the antelope is only a victim of the wolf itself. The pace of the coyote is a slinking, shambling one, as if the creature did not care whether it moved or not. But it is a deceptive one, too, for the animal covers a great amount of ground in a givon time. He is shrewd as woll and suspicious of traps and snares. For wo )ks one may bait a trap in some favorite haunt of the wolves, but all the time tlio dhole, as Kipling calls them, steps carefully over the waiting contrivance unharmed.

As the winter grows more severe and food scarcer the coyotes hunt in packs and are then prepared to attack anything that seoms likely to give way to them. No comparison between their tactics and those of the rogular mountain wolf can bo found, for the coyote is a degenerate scion, an Ishmaclite among the wild creatures of the plains. When he falls by some mischance into the pitfall his anger and chagrin are something pitiful. This disgrace is the only feeling of which he is capable.

The average settler's dog looks ashamed of itself when he soes a coyote. Run as he may, strain every muscle as he will, he can do no more than keejp in sight of the wary wolf who makes racing a sport. Nor can the coyote bo tamed. These seems to be tiger blood in his vyns, for, chain him as one will, from infancy he rebels against captivity to the last, walking up and down the limit of his chain, snapping and snarling at all who come near and wearing Jiimself out with the ceaseless werry that Ss ovidently puzzling tho vagabond brain. No attempt to tame one has buen successful no conqueror of the wild spirit has been found.

Tho settlors aro making a more determined attempt than ever to get rid of the ooyote, realizing its danger to tho flocks, herds and henhouses. He is a dangerous resident in a community, an outcast and a reprobate. The settling up of the prairies is driving him farther and farther west, and soon his weird howl will bo heard no more. None will be sorry.

Mr. John W. Day, who is the editor and one of the proprietors, writes in The Banner of Light as follows to the proprietors of Paine's celery compound: "I owe you a debt of gratitude in placing OH the market such a nerve-easing and and soothing remedy as Faines' celery compound. It was brought to my notice by a friead who had himself been greatlyrelieved by its use, as I have also been. "I hare frequently taken occasion to commend Paine's celery compound to others, and I do not know an instance wherein, if faithfully tried, it has not worked a benefit. "Yours truly, Johu W. Day."

Mr. Day's portrait is given above. He is a member of the Masonic, Odd Fellows Grand Army and other fraternal organizations, and is highly tsteemed by his brethern and others in ths social walks of life.

His gratitude for the good that this greatest of remedies has doae him is in no sense remarkable. Thousands who have been made wfdl by Paine's celery compound have sent their unsoclicitedtestimeuials tothe-proprietorsof the remedy or direct to medical journals or newspapers telling for the benefit of others the results that followed the use of the remedy that is food for the nerves and brain, that enriches the blood, that make the weak strong, and is the one nervefailing specific, prescribed by physiciaijjL—«•-.*• and recommended by all who have ever faithfully used it, fev r.j ooyr t, nervous debility, neuralgia, rheuurtatism, indigestion and the many ills that come from de. ranged, worn-out nerves and impure blood.

Hon, Wm. E[. English, of Indianapolis, Is eenteinly deserving- of t-^e highest com'-mendati-OH for his action in withdrawing •& from' public life several years ago in order to devote himself to the task of writing tu Si history of Indiana, the Introduction of S which is now appearing in two volumes under the title of "CONQUEST OF THH NORTHWEST." He ft a millionaire, and it is therefor# unreasonable to sup- S pose thait his work along historical lines was animated by any spirit of selfishness ffi or sordidnesg. No other rflah is so well $ equlRped for the task self-Imposed. He has been a conspicuous figure in In- 8 d.ana almost continuously since It was if admitted to Statehood. He ^as secretary 8? of the Constitutional Convention, and his personality Is strongly marked in the or- 4 sanifc law as well as In much of subse- $ quent, legisla«op. His gres* wealth has arftordea him opportunities for devoting S his entire attention to literary labor. His intimacy with public men and State and Federal officials, has given him exception- $ al facilities for gaining access to documenta necessary to insure thoroughness S and exactness in the preparation of his history. After Several years of ardent devotion' and labor, undertaken in a spirit if of Slate ciiflde and 'for pure love or It, & the puhjl'catlon of '"THE CONQUEST OF THE NORTHWEST" wlft cause him to be kindly remembered as an Indianian. whose motives have been often miscon- il strued. and whose real worth as a man Is and cltiafen has been often Ignored by S unreasonable political bias and human na« S ture's Inherent'prejudice against men o£ Immense wealth.—Lafayette Courier. „,V-\
