LECTURE BY DR. ILIFF.
Ironwork In India.
India was the first country which
turned iron Into weapons. Persia bor
rowed the art from India. The Rig
veda, which Is the oldest record in the
world, gives evidence of this. So do
also the Astras and Sastras of the
Dhanurneda, and during the early part
of the Christian era the Indian blade
was the most used throughout the
eastern and western world. This art
reached Its greatest perfection In
northern India, the Punjab, Nepaul.
Rajputana, Gujarat and other prov
inces, where they still makj beautiful
arms.
Asking the Captain.
' A Tery common Inquiry of sea cap
tains Is, "Where Is the nearest land?"
One harassed captain on being asked
this question for about the fiftieth
time pointed over the vessel's side and
blandly replied, "Madam, the nearest
land is at the bottom of the sea."
The 'ecture by Dr. T. C. Iliff in
the M. E. church, Friday might,
should Lave been heard by every
citizen of Enterprise, cad especially
by the pupils of the public and
high schools. The old veteran is
x grand speaker and his lecture,
"The Sunny Side of a Soldier's Life,"
was one of the best over given in
thia city. While hj necessarily
d,welt upon h'u3 personal experiences,
yet his talk wp.s free of egcism. He
told of the great civil war as it
looked and impressed hdm, a boy
of 15 who shouldered his musket
for love of country and flag. His
description of the great battles
brouslu the carnage, and roar of
guns vividly before the audience,
and one could almost see Sherman's
army as it left Atlanta on the fa
mous March to the Sea.

THE CANYON CLIMBER
AND THE BEARS
By Rev. Fred G. Potter.
(A True Incident.)
While he was yet a tenderfoot,
S'er he had donned the hob-nailed
boot.
Or learned to lug a gun. and shoot
The wild game, great or small,
He camped upon, the canyon's, top,
Vhere team and wagon had to stop
Or into the canyon's chasm drop
With household goods and all.
S'er he had learned 'to cinch the
pack
Upon his grey mare's falthCul back
And take th,, canyon's downward
track
To make a homestead proof
He tented. And he sajw below
The rapid Grande Ronde waters flow
Near by his claim and longed to go
And raise a cabin roof.
By days of pouring rain delayed'
lie close within his tent wails staid
But when the skies were clear es
sayed To make a reconnolter.
To seek the beaten' path he spurned,
?he vantage of trails he had not
learned,
So down the steepest place he turned
With no Intent to loiter. '
While climbing down on double quick
O'er slippery stones,- through bushes
thick,
Hia lone defense a crooked stick,
(No gun or 'fox hound pup)
He saw two bears from a, thicket
glide.
When they the canyon climber pled
THEY went straight down, the an
yon aide,
The climber went straight up.
