The American Citizen

THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. idest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country Combination Judgement There comes a time in the lives of all county for serious thoughts and sober decisions. We believe that time is when someone comes to exercise the glorious duty of suffrage, accorded noble America's citizenship. There is no race under blue canopy that ought to consider what and whom they vote than the Negro. Our earnest efforts have been in all the years we have gone into various homes throughout the army to tell the race nothing, but what believed by years of observation that was right. Those who have more readers, have the privilege of being backward over our record of 15 as a public organ, and find if possess single instance where we have and that which if followed would anything but a benefit. We stand for we have stood in the past for justice and to all mankind." We would not have the Negro voter to see that the Republican party, nor Democratic party contains all good for there are good and bad in all Negro haters in them all. The striving to have the Negro is that they are not duty bound to political party that the time has to divide and every intelligent Neil will accept with us if he has the best of the race at heart.

We appeal to Negro manhood all over the country and Kansas in particular, to ignore party lines at least in local affairs and pick out men whom they believe it will be to their interest to vote for. When we review the affairs in Wyandotte county—Conscience speaks to us in the most forcible tones why should the Negro vote the straight Republican ticket? It was republican that organized the Lilly whites—it was them that organized the damnable discriminating organization known as the M. R. T's it is them that cater to all nationalities for their votes except the negro. When they come to the negro—the they regard him as their personal property, having no right to vote for anybody else but them and deserves no consideration. They might give you a few dollars; and a drink of liquor before you vote for them, after election—the they consider they have paid you. We want men with enough manhood to say—We are rising too high in the Scale of American civilization to stoop to these—We want a share of the spoils. Unless we divide our forces or turn in a body else where—we will not get it following the Republican party in a solid phalanx. now to cut a long story short we have selected a list of man whom we earnestly beseech you to consider, men who we believe can sympathize with the poor, laborer, the negro and in fact all classes of down trodden people.

Afraid to Discuss the Issues For weeks the leading Republican papers have been heralding statements broadcast that the Democrats and Pops were afraid to meet the Republicans on the stump and discuss the issues of the campaign. They said that Craddock had repeatedly refused to meet Bailey in public debate, and repeated this statement in the papers so often, that many believed the statement true. But the sequel has proven that the reverse is true—that the Republican leaders are afraid to have the issues publicly discussed before Republican audiences, as will be seen by the following clippings from the Topeka Journal, an Independent Republican paper: Secretary Curran of the populist state committee has been moved to write a reply to the interview of Morton Albaugh, chairman of the Republican state committees, rejecting Curran's challenge for a joint debate on the proposed tax bill. Mr. Albaugh said the proposed tax bill has not been adopted as a Republican measure, and the Republicans do not care to bring together crowds for fusion meetings anyway. Mr. Curran then replies as follows: "Mr. Albaugh's first proposition is perhaps the most astonishing. Every Republican campaigner in the state has rushed to the shelter of this tax bill when pursued by Mr. Cradiock and his supporters." "Wby," said they, "should the democrats and allies attempt to cure these tax evils when we have a tax bill which covers all the tax this argument, and has held up as the cure-all for every complained of by opposition campaigners. Mr. Albaugh in his state campaign booklet presents this law in several places as the Republican plan of taxation. The naked truth of the matter is that the Republican tax law is so full of infamy and glaring injustices to the people, while favoring the conservatives, has decided they can not defend it and have turned the child out into the cold, defenseless and fatherless." "His third proposition merely expresses the unit of sentiment between the state committees on this point. It is certainly dangerous to the success of the Republican party for the Republicans to hear the populists and democrats discuss the issues of taxation this year, and Mr. Albaugh is wise in refusing to lend his aid in gathering audiences to hear this debate. It is to be hoped that Republicans will attend discussions of the tax question. In spite of the edict of Mr. Albaugh to the contrary." Finally the Democratic and Populist state chairmen issued a challenge to the Republican committee to have Bail-y and Craddock meet in joint debate, and the Republican committee, no longer able to dodge the issue, accepted, and two joint debates between Craddock and Bailey are arranged for, one at Topeka and the other at Wichita. The world now knows the result of the Wichita Kansas debate between the Craddock and Bailey. Three thousand people were present 350,000 voters have heard how that man Craddock wiped up the "Don't ch U Need To "Don't cher know" U Need To Call And See B, M.

Before we again ap pear the next debate will talk at Topeka Monday Oct. 13. CRADDOCK WILL WIN From the Leavenworth Western Life. (Independent Republican.) "When the Democratic Convention adjourned at Wichita, there were very few people who believed that W. H. Craddock had any show of being elected the next Governor of Kansas. Today it is admitted by the leading republican politicians that there is a possibility that Craddock may be elected. The Republican party in Kansas is engaged in one of the bitterest fights that has ever taken place in the party. There is no harmony in the party, and the leaders are not in touch with the people. In the case of Mr. Craddock, he appeals to the people of Kansas on the subject of taxation, which President Roosevelt has made a national issue, and the people responded by writing him thousands of letters from every part of the state, urging him to push the tax issue and that they would stand by him. The majority of these letters are from Republicans. The Democrats have flocked to the Craddock standard; the Populists, whom the Republicans believed they had disfranchised, are with Craddock to a man; and the Independent Republicans are also with him. The popularity of Mr. Craddock is accounted for by the fact that he is taking up a live issue—something that the people understand. Mr. Craddock is a strong man. Alone he has forced the tax issue in Kansas and changed the whole plan of the Republican campaign. The party that was jabbit and so sure of success, has been put on the defensive, and the time of its leaders is now taken up in explaining that they are not with the trusts. A strong, clean man like Craddock is just the kind of Governor Kansas needs. The people know this, and for that reason he will be elected." Few people doubt but what Mr. Craddock will win-Right must win sooner or later at all times. A man so conscientious ly right as Mr. Craddock is bound to win. Mr. W. B.

The suspension bridge which crossed the Solomon river between Minnesota and Lindsey, has broken down. It has been pronounced usafe for some time, but the final break down occurred since the freshet. The bridge was a substantial wooden bridge, swung on heavy tables, and was constructed to maintain much strain and heavy traffic, as it was on the main road between these two places. The cable, anchored in the ground on each side of the bridge, ran through two high towers, built on heavy masonry below. Another chapter has been added to the story of Edith Willitt's escape in Central Kansas. It has just been learned that a Salina man was engaged towed this much admired woman. J. H. James, a wealthy young man who recently went to Salina from Roseau, a mining camp in New Mexico, became infatuated with the woman and a number of letters passed between them. He was preparing to claim her her for a bride when he heard of her marriage to S. W. Elliott, of her previous marriages to a man from whom she had not been divorced, and of the devotion of still another man to her. A dispatch to the Republican state headquarters from Wichita says that judge is. H. Allen, representing the ustionists, has ned suit in the Seagaw county district court to test the validity of the anti-immigration law. It is a bancamus proceeding to compel the secretary of state to certify down the popup state ticket and the county bank to print it on the official ballot. it is the same proceeding which the supreme court ruled. Hear the case because the judge were up for election, and, the prosecutor personally interested, District judge Sale, of Wichita, set the case for hearing on October 13. The jury in the James Pendleton case returned a verdict of guilty or bigamy at Emporia Thursday night. When the verdict was read Pendleton, alias John Cox, alias Coda S. Morris, seemed unmoved. The maximum penalty is five years in the penitentiary, the minimum six months in the county jail. Pendleton is an unusually strange looking man and has attracted much attention in the court room on this account. The Missouri statutes were used by the state to prove the validity of the first marriage license, which was issued in 1950. The plea of the defendant's attorney, W. S. Kretsinger, had been that there was an error in that first license. The state proved there was not. John Madden, who was assisting County Attorney McCarty, was pleading, and his brother, Judge Denny Madden, disputed the question of law, and John Madden court room. On June 17 of this year James Pendleton, under the name of Coda S. Morris, married Miss Grace Obley at Emporia and about three months after, at Orlando, O. 1, under the name of ohn Cox, buried a chunk of ice which was supposed to be the body of Coda S. Morris. W. S. Kretsinger says he will appeal to the supreme court. Pendleton is mayor of Gentry, Mo.

In the balloon ascension a dummy man was taken up to a great height and allowed to drop.

In reply Sheridan said Alen was "not a supporter of thieves, but a partner," accused him of making big money out of charities, and wound up by calling him a "fathering booster." Alen has taken offense at the charge and demands a retraction or a lawsuit.

"It must be a blessin' ter some men what's got wives as haint so gosh durned particular 'bout their pesky house cleanin', replied the old man, as he wished as he evidently had as blue as he evidently felt, and as he settled back with his feet perched up near the right-hand pigeon hole of the editor's desk he continued. "Now there's Helen, she's jest about the best woman in the world 'cept in house cleanin' time an' then she's a —'she a — well a regular regular cross patch. I haint done nothin' ter suit her in the past four days till ter day." "What did you do to suit her today?" inquired the editor. "Well, Uncle Bill," remarked the editor, "I guess all the women folks are about the same when it comes to cleaning house, and we men folks must put up with it, too, as we all like a clean house to live in." "Yes, that's all right, but the idea uv taking out all the furniture is what men must hunt for the tack hammer," said Uncle Bill, as he moved uneasily in his seat. "I wonder why it is that they always have to have the furniture carried out doors?" mused the editor. "Don't yer know that yit," said Uncle Bill. "I've made a close study uv that fur 'bout 40 year now an' I've got it all figured out." "What conclusion does your reasoning bring?" asked the editor. "I've made up my mind that it's done so'n'the neighbors know that they are cleanin' house. Gewhizalem, but it's a lot uv fun carryin' out an' in a lot uv truck, jest so the neighbors can see yer cleanin' house." "If there is any one thing that a decent woman wants it is a clean house, and we men admire them for it, for who could put up with a slovenly woman or house?" said the editor with much enthusiasm. "That's all true," assented Uncle Bill, "but what I'm kickin' 'bout is what the furniture fur 'bout a week every time. It makes a man feel as though he been robbed uv his happy home. Why I've felt like a plate uv hash looks all day, an' I guess by the looks uv a lot uv door yards in town to a hull uv ufellers in town feel like they was bein' put in a raid, cause a woman is boss uv the hull bizzness at house cleanin' time, an' if yer not believe that jest offer some suggestions ter yer wife when she's cleanin' house, an' if she don't make yer feel like duce high in a jackpot in 'bout a minute I miss my guess. I am always very busy at the office when my folks are cleaning house," remarked the editor, "in fact, I seldom have time to go for my meals." "I guess it's sort uv a fasting time all along the line," said Uncle Bill, "but it's my opinion that prayers are mighty scarce. It's right after house cleanin' time in a community that revival meetin' is in order, cause Christians back slide an' sinners git away off the track entirely, an' it takes a leetle coachin' ter bring a feller round so sth he can ask a blessin' a blessin' time. In church, cleanin' time. Wall, I must go home an' sneak in like a dog what's had a stone thrown at him. Come down some time, but don't come till Helen gits through cleanin' house." The English press criticizes the German military maneuvers as a mere show, being more spectacular than usual, it blames the military leaders for not accepting the leccons of the Boer war and its use of the rifle. Ginger wine, which has been sold in London for years as a temperance drink, was proved, at the Bishop's Stortford petty sessions, to contain as much alcohol as champagne, and five beer-house keepers were fined a nominal sum of half a crown, without costs, for selling it without having in force licenses to sell wine. When the Danish literary expedition of Greenland reached the capital of that country they found that Greenland for a year had been without a physician, wherefore Dr. Bertheisen found himself the most welcome member of the expedition.

DESPERATE SNAKE FIGHT. The Snake That Brave Tom Slashed and Slew. Philadelphia Ledger: "I hear Tom went out to see you while you were away in the country" observed the girl with the sunburned nose. "Yes," replied the girl who had just been buying freckle lotion; "he didn't stay long, though." "You quarreled eh?" "Humph, is it likely that I'd quarrel with him when he was the only man in a summer boarding house and all the other girls dying for a chance at him? I'm not a candidate for an insane asylum yet, my dear." "Ah, well, I only wanted to know, that was all. He said he was going for two weeks and was back in two days. I saw him with my own eyes." "I know, admitted the girl with the freckle lotion; "it was all the fault of a horried accident, too. You see, there was a country circus five miles away the very day we got there, and we all went over in real country fashion in a wagon that afternoon. Ah, it was just too lovely for anything. The envy of the other girls made even the clown's jokes seem funny." "I know, dear. George ran down to see, while I was at the seashore, and I haven't felt so proud since I had a talking doll sent me from Paris when I was a little to 10 of." "Mh'm! Well, we got back in time for tea, and while we were at table the proprietor rushed in with the news that the boa constrictor had escaped from the menagerie and was at large. It roared and ran, and we saw a meadow about half a mile from us." "Oh, how awful!" "Yes, wasn't it? We girls all screamed, but Tom said he would protect us. After tea we went and sat in the hammock, and it was perfectly fine. We saw the huge snake that they didn't dare to walk up and down and watch us. We were just talking about—about—" "Oh, my gracious, the snakes! I—" "I screamed, but Tom was perfectly calm. He said that I must not be alarmed—he was beside me. Then he seized a hatchet which some of the children had left lying in the path —" "Oh, how her hero! Did he kill —" "Then I just fainted away." "And no wonder! Was it dead when you recovered?" "No, it wasn't. They had captured it half an hour before, two miles away, and—" "But what on earth had Tom attacked?" "The garden hose, dear. He had ruined about 20 feet of it. The proprietor made him pay a small fortune for it, and the way those girls behaved was simply shameful. Somehow he didn't seem to care to remain after that." "I am surprised," replied the girl with the sun-burned nose. "The only wonder is that you did." Parrot-Like Preachers Minneapolis Times: No more admirable exemplification of the possible in man than a self-respecting, thoroughly respected, upright, humane, loving, learned minister of the gospel walks the earth today. There are very few wolves in sheeps' clothing in the profession dignified by the care of souls. It is much to be regretted that the same cannot be said in regard to fools. There are a lot of fools whom even the clerical cloth cannot dignify and in the clerical cloth cannot dignify and in the parrot, talk too much. He named Burchard who, for the sake of alliterative yawp, upset the ambitions of a statesman and set a country by the ears. Now there is a Washburn, of Oyster Bay, who is evidently as well fitted for the pulpit as a hippopotamus is for the ballot. This man seizes an occasion that should have been one of gracious retrospect, and indulges in fulsome praise of the president of the United States and to drag into the pulpit an imminent political question of the day. The nation need not be told how thoroughly disgusted Mr. Roosevelt was by Dr. Washburn's performance. Probably by this time the complacency of Bay's vector has been corruged in spite of the fact that he must to pierce the self esteem of men guilty of such breaches of good manners, good sense and real religion. KING EDWARD'S HUMOR On An Unexpected Visit to Childs School. No long ago King Edward VII paid an unexpected visit to a boy's school on the south coast of England, and, after the manner of school visitors, monarchical or republican, began to question the youngsters. He asked them to name some of the great kings of England, and the boys eagerly suggested Alfred the Great, William the Conqueror, Richard the Earl of I, Henry VIII, King Louis I, one of the smallest kings, whom the master had privately whispered something, volunteered "Edward VII." The king beamed. "Ah, my boy," he said, "and what great thing has Edward VII done?" The little fellow hung his head and said he did not know. "Don't let that distress you," said the king. "I don't know either." Mr. Scketelling, director of the Norwegian museum, in Bergen, recently unearthed a mound on an island near that city the well-preserved hulk of a Viking ship, 15 meters in length.

Princess Victoria, the 10-year-old daughter of the German emperor, is said to be a most haughty little lady, with a very exalted idea of her position as a royal princess. She is much beloved by her father, to whom her imperious matter is the source of much amusement. Speaking of her to a friend recently the kaiser said: "Sometimes when talking to me she quite forbids the emperor, but I am confident that she means for one moment forgets that she is the emperor's daughter."

The following anecdote, says the Baltimore News, is told of Admiral Winfield Scott Schley by a forcer messmate of his in the days when Schley was a midshipman in the navy, "befo de wah." Schley's vessel had made a cruise to the tropics, and while there the officers had captured two small ring-tailed monkeys, and had taken them aboard the ship as mascots. When the mascots had acquired their "sea legs" and a working knowledge of the ship they set about to make the lives of the officers and men as miserable, they could—and, being monkeys, they could—and only their victims would be incensed to hold that the simians had paid them a most unappreciated visit, and had either hidden or thrown overboard some of their belongings. At length the officers determined that they would stand it no longer. A council of war was held, during which the monkeys threw several things to Davy Jones, and ways and means of ridding the ship of the little pests were discussed. Although the meeting was a unit that the monkeys should be disposed of, none of the gentlemen wanted to be constituted executioners, and the council was adjourned without arriving at a decision. When Midshipman Schley went on deck next morning, after having been visited the preceding night by the monkeys, his eye fell upon a bucket of grease. He immediately began to associate the grease with the monkeys, and the upshot of his ponderings was told by the officer as follows: "Schley lured the monkeys to him with something to eat, and when he got his hands on them greased their tails with the mess in the bucket. The monkeys seemed rather to enjoy the thing, and when Schley got through with his task they began to chase each other about the deck, as they hail a lash of doing. Finally they rauw up a spar and got out on a spar, where they proceeded to indulge in gymnastics which ultimately proved fatal, for as they wrapped their tails about the spar and swung free of the rope they promptly slipped overboard and were lost."

"Fools and children speak the truth," is an old adage which one good dominic, too much inclined to verbosity, perhaps, is now inclined to admit. At the recent Children's day services of the Sunday school of Fayette Street Methodist Episcopal church, Rev. Dr. J. F. Heise, the pastor addressed the primary department on the necessity of looking pleasant. "Did any of you children ever have your pictures taken?" Dr. Heisse asked in commencing his talk. "Yes, sir," was the almost unanimous response of the children. "What did the photographer tell you?" Some of the children said they were told to smile, while others said they were told to keep quiet. "Didn't the photographer tell you to look pleasant?" "Yes, sir," the children replied. Dr. Helse asked a number of leading questions, to which the invariable answer was, "Yes, sir." "No, you don't. I think I have talked long enough?" was the pastor's next question. Prompt and frankly came the reply, "Yes, sir." Dr. Helse said not another word, but sat down—Exchange. According to the testimony of the Boston Journal the old-time New England spinster is passing. Delightful woman in mits, white chambray shawl and green vellies, only a few of her have crossed the divide from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Therefore, it was that her presence at the Faneuil hall exercises on the glo rious Fourth made her the observed of all observers. She denounced ice water as deadly, adjured coffee as venomously billious, but she just dotted on tea, to hear her talk. And the way she sat down, she was the real humor there was to the occasion. He dear man, was rash enough to decry tea as an injury to the nerves and he quickly realized the mistake he had made, "Lor," said she. "I have drank eight or nine cups without winking and nobody'll say that I've got narves," and her eyes flashed scissors and knitting-needles at the presumptuous male creature beside her. Chairman Hull, of the house committee on military affairs, is telling a good joke on himself at the time of his visit to the Philippines. There was, during the Spanish regime, near Manila a bridge over which toll was collected. When the Americans invested the city the bridge was made free, but later was again made a toll bridge. It was largely used by the American soldiers, who refused to pay any toll to the native bridge keepers. Mr. Hull thought it was a free bridge and started across an amphitheater demanded toll. "I am an American citizen and I won't pay any toll," said Mr. Hull. "No, you are not American," replied the keeper. "But I am demanded." "No, you are not American, I know. If you were American you would have told me 'go to hell' when I asked for toll." Mr. Hull paid the toll. Next time he started over he remembered what the toll keeper had told him and promptly replied to his demand for toll as did the American soldiers. Bowing profoundly, the keeper made no further reverence and continued to oblige Mr. Hull to pass over free of charge - New York World. ABSOLUTE SECURITY. Genuine Carter's Little Liver Pills.

A sympathetic picture of the Chinese laundryman is painted by a writer in the New Orleans-Times. "John" lives among us, patient, industrious, and often despised by those who know too little of him even to regard him as a fellow being. Yet if we knew the human history that lies behind that yellow shirt, we would know that here also dwells a soul of like dignity with our own. Saves the writer; Next door to my lodging is one of those squat little houses which now and then you find next to a big mansion. On the lower floor of the small house was a Chinese laundry. In it was a dresser, a mirror, a face was as imperable as the sky. He went about his business with the undevailing regularity of the solar system. At first he was an ordinary Chinese laundryman to me, but my attention became riveted upon him and my curiosity was awakened. The man was so eager to see me that when I came in at 2 o'clock in the morning I found him with the lights turned high, patiently working at his calling. If I rose early in the morning, that prodigy of industry was up before me. I gradually became filled with wonder at the untiring persistence of the man. Because of his neatness and the care he took in the neighborhood never thought of sending his laundry anywhere else. I began to carry my things in person to the Chinaman, urged on by the desire of finding out something about him. I reasoned that no man, white or yellow, could work as he did without being a Chinaman as he did. I found him intelligent. He could speak English well. Finally, I won his confidence. The young Chinaman was in love. A girl in China was waiting for him, and he was patiently and bravely undergoing the harshest kind of toil in order to to his native country and marry her. When he told me the story I forgot that he was a Chinaman; I remembered only that he was a man, working like a man, to earn a wife, and with, despite these menager, unpictorial surroundings, cherishing all the dreams of a farmer whose sweetheart is far away. THE UNIQUE CITY OF DALNY. Site Has Heretofore Been Known as Talienwan. At present there is being founded on the shores of the Pacific ocean in Siberia the Russian city of Dalny. This city will form the terminus of the new Siberian and Manchurian railway, and there has heretofore been known as Talewan. The unique thing about this new city is that it begins its municipal life with all modern improvements. There are piers of stone and cement; a large breakwater, with no ships to seek refuge behind it. The streets are graded and paved, although there is no traffic for them as yet. The different quarters of the town have been laid out, space provided for parks, schools, churches, etc. Gardeners are already beautifying the streets and electric railways are already in operation. As yet not a foot of land has been sold, although over $5,000,000 have been expended for improvements and public buildings. The population now exceeds 50,000, 23,000 of which are employed in building the railroad which is to be owned by the Russian government. It is calculated that the city will cost $18,000,000 before the present plans are completed. It is provided that when lands are sold taxation will begin and the taxes paid to the hands of a council, elected by the taxpayers, of which two members must be Russian subjects and not more than two Chinese or Japanese. The port will be an absolutely free one, as the government wishes to encourage trade.—Municipal Journal. THE BULGARIAN PEOPLE. Know No Other Trade Than Being Peasant or Soldier. It is a strange country of contrasts, this Bulgaria that people have so long watched as a a dangerous spot. The peasant is a heavily-built fellow, with a Kalmuk nose, if he happens to be pure-bred from the original Samoyede stock, which is not likely. His language has become more like "the beetsteak" or "impinktak" and "oumet souffle" is "oumet cuphle." The Bulgarian is a peasant or a soldier; he knows no other trade. As a farmer the sheep is all in to him, food and clothing and companionship. He lives in a hovel, does not understand why he should be taxed, and makes his sheep a sealed close-fisted, churlish and suspicious, and has some of the virtues that often go with those qualities. When Bulgaria became practically free from the sultan, there were many Turks left in the country. These are gradually being crowded out, but there is still a mosque in Christian Sofia, and in the palace of the sobranjo or parliament, where the men meet in the lords of Britain on the Turks embankment. Some 20 Turkish deputies always sit together and exert an influence that they never could do in their own land by power. Every Saturday the members of the sobranjo are paid at the rate of 15 frances a day, all in silver 5-framc pieces. These peasant lawmakers knelt in the shade the jingling pieces playfully in one another's faces. They are playing at statesmanship yet, but fairly well, on the whole.—The Era. In a experiment whose purpose was to trace the stages of development of a baby's mind the infant was placed before a mirror daily. During the earlily stage of the test he simply looked at his reflection, as birds do. He next showed fear of it, as do many of the higher animals. He then grasped at it with his hands, as cats strike at reflections with their paws. Later he looked behind the glass to find the object, as cats and monkeys have been known to do. But on the 420th day of his life he deliberately turned the glass at different angles to obtain required reflections, an intelligence not possessed by any animal other than man. The famous Norwegian poet, Björnstjerne Bjørnson, has caused a great sensation by the severe strictures which he has recently passed on the scandalous treatment of foreign tourists by Norwegian peasants. The steady increase of tourists, he says, has had the effect of demoralizing the population and stirring up feelings of speculation, rapacity, mendacity and fraud.

It is estimated that a half hundred people in Clinton, Cameron and Potter counties are making from $4 to $9 a day gathering rattlesnake oil and ginseng root. The two vocations can readily be followed at the same time—indeed, it is a noticeable fact that where ginseng grows there one invariably finds rattlesnakes. Ginseng gathering has long been a profitable summer work for scores of mountainers throughout the northern counties of Pennsylvania, and to have cleared $200 a season for say, two months' work gathering the rare medicinal root, has been nothing unusual. The rattlesnake oil business has come into prominence during the past few years, and it is doubtful whether it will have so very many followers because of its popularity it attends it. It is more natural for ginseng hunters to take to the business of snake catching than anybody else, for they run across a half-dozen rattlers to the ordinary forest visitor's one. Poking about beneath the underbrush and along the edges of logs and rocks for the "sheng" root, the ginseng hunters long-handed pick axes stirs out nearly every rattler in the woods. Ginseng root sells for from $3 to $5 a pound, according to size and quality, and the rattlesnake or a marketable article at the store is $9.00 out the outlook for the "bushwhackers" this season is exceptionally cheerful. It is said of a ginseng harvester that he can scent a rattlesnake twenty feet away when he gets to windward of the "varmint." Rattlesnakes can be decoyed the same as wild turkeys or other denizens of the forest—if the one doing the decoying has studied the habits and sounds sufficient to make him proficient. By tying a silken thread about a long, pliable set of rattles cut carefully from a snake, forming loops at both ends of the string and slipping these over the forefinger of each hand, a marvelously accurate rattle can be obtained by those in the deception. Seated above rock, or on a lodge, of woods where rattlesnakes are known to congregate, a snake hunter with his rattles can buzz a tune of alarm that is sure to bring other snakes out of their hiding places. A Mrs. Norman, of the vicinity of Keating, in one day this summer killed seven rattlesnakes, from which she obtained eleven ounces of fat. This amount, at $2 an ounce, made her a pretty good day's wages—Philadelphia Record. Regeneration of the Parrot One day a man who had had considerable experience with parrots happened to come in, and when I complained of the bird's loquacity he said: "Why don't you get an owl? You get an owl and hang him up close to that parrot's cage, and in about two days you'll find that your bird's dead sick of unprofit-able." "Well, I got a small owl and put him in a cage close to the parrot's cage. The parrot begt by trying to dazzle the owl with his conversation, but it wouldn't work. The owl sat and looked at the parrot just as solemn as a minister whose salary has been cut down, and after awhile the parrot tried him with Spanish. It wasn't any use. Not a word would the owl let on to understand. Then the parrot tried bragging and laid himself out to make the owl believe that of all the parrots in existence he was the ablest. But he couldn't turn a feather of the owl. The noble bird sat silent as the grave and looked at the parrot as if to say, "This is indeed a melancholy exhibition of imbecility." Well, before night that parrot was so as shamed of himself that he closed for repairs, and from that day forth he never spoke an unnecessary word. Such, gentlemen, is the force of example in the worst of birds.—W. L. Alden. Generals Corbin, Young and Wood will lunch with Kick Edward at Buckingham palace October 13.

Unitarian Minister Somewhat Mystified His Clerical Brother. The number of Panama or alleged aPama hats to be seen everywhere this season reminded an old gentleman from Boston of a story the other day, which he proceeded to tell to another man in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, holding his own genuine Panama in his hand. "I suppose you have never heard of old Dr. Ellis down here," he said. "But a generation or two ago he was a well-known figure in Boston, being one of the famous Unitarian ministers, a friend of many of the Transcendentalists. He used always at that time was much more of a luxury than I judge it is today. The same hat did him season after season, yet it never seemed to lose any of its fresh whiteness. "One day a minister of the old persuasion, and very pronounced in his orthodoxy, asked Dr. Ellis how he kept his hat so white. "That is easy," said the doctor, "for it has been Calvinized." "What?" said the other minister. "How do you galvanize a hat?" How do you galvanize a hat? "I said Calvinized," replied the Uni- tarian. "But what do you mean by that?" "Dipped in brimstone," said Dr. Ellis."—New York Tribune. Helen Moon's Case.

A famous hostelry, the Drei Mohern, in Augsburg, is about to come under the hammer. Built in the early years of the sixteenth century by Hans Herwart, a wealthy merchant of Augsburg, and bought from him in 1560 by Jacob Fugger, the Rothschild of his time, the house passed through the hands of various owners, until, in 1723, it was right by Andrew Wahl, and by him connected into a hotel. It is probable that the Emperor Charles, stayed in the house in Herwart's time, and the Emperor Maximilian II, is known to have been Jacob Fugger's guest there in 1566. The list of illustrious and famous personages who visited the house during its palmy days as a hostelry, when Augsburg was a much-visited town—apart from its own attractions, it was a kind of half-way house between Ulm and Munich, and a natural halting way on the journey to and from Switzerland and Italy—seems an endless one, and the guest books of the house must be preserved, must be very interesting read. In 1792 Kaiser Francis II stayed there with his wife, Marie Theresa. In 1801 Napoleon stopped at Ausburg, and many of his generals stayed at the Drei Mohren, Napoleon himself occupying the episcopal residence. The Empress Josephine was a guest in 1805 on her way to Munich, whither Napoleon had summoned her. Late in December of the same year the Bavarian Major von Hausman signed the guest book, and opposite his name appear in the diary of the French envoy to our free town in the name of the Prince of Bavaria." On March 3, 1806, the formal delivery of the town to the Bavarian commissioners was celebrated by a great banquet at the hotel. In 1810 the Archduchess Marie Louise stopped there with a great suite on her journey to Paris to supplant the divorced Josephine. During the later Napoleonic wars there was much journeying of soldiers and diplomats backward and forward through Ausburg, and we and in the guest books of the Drei Mohren, were met by the French lieutenant Canning, Wellington, Talleyrand and others entered on their journey to the congress of Vienna. Soon, however, the stream was turned in the opposite direction, and there was great journeying of the notables of France, where Napoleon had reappeared and was showing very scant respect for the decrees of congress. After Napoleon's final fall the Drei Mohren sheltered Jenne Fouche (who signed himself Duke of Ottran), Count Walewski, Gustavus Wasa and others of the great Corsican proteses who had shared in his fall. In the following decades we find names whose fame is of a different kind—Faucherbach, Lamarti, Walter L. Pagani, Lamarit, the 1866, August 24, the 1874, German federation was dissolved in Augsburg, and here again the Drei Mohren was the scene of the formalities. This was Augsburg's last appearance as a "weltstadt," and since then, though the Drei Mohren has extended its hospitality on several occasions both to the old Emperor William and his son, who, as crown prince, was immensely beloved in Augsburg, as, indeed, throughout Bavaria, and whose vists were always made on the occasion of Augsburg and its famous "mushot" have suffered eclipse. Augsburg is no longer a great place of call; the travelers who would once have stayed there are now whisked past it in the orient express, and the Drei Mohren is fallen from its high estate—Manchester Guardian.

Undesirable consulships have long given rise to humorous incidents. But Zanzibar, to which the President has appointed Mason Mitchell, a rough rider, seems to be in the lead in unattractiveness, if the length of consular terms proves any test, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Evening Post. Indiana has usually claimed the honor of furnishing candidates for this place, but after the resignation of a man named Rogers of Shoales, the Indiana senators notified the President that they were through with it. They had constituents who were willing to take chances, but, the senators were not prepared to promise that these venerousome individuals would stay more than a month. Before Rogers took the place it was held for nearly a year by "Bob" Mansfield, at a time private secretary to Senator Beveridge and now cosul at Valparai. Mansfield came back, according to Indian descriptions, as thin as a toothpick and as yellow as June butter." He said he had stuck it out as long as the insurance company would let him, and that he returned to save his premiums. Before Mansfield, there was an Indianian named Billheimer, described as a husky Hoosier, with a large nose and frame pickled in maleria. He was cured of diplomatic ambition in about two months, and has never asked for a place since Before Billheimer, Judge Rile of Virginia served; he remained as long as his aversion to the negroes would permit. Finally, he is said to have taken a gun and emptied a load of fine birdshot into the dusky natives who persisted in taking a daily bath in front of the American consulate which, the Judge "allowed," was an indignity to be resented by this government's representative. HE LIKES FRIED POTATOES. Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Dish, So They Say. Grand Duke Alexis of Russia is very fond of fried potatoes, and during his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them beside her stall. The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very, anxious to find out who he was. "I can tell you who he is," said a neighbor one day. "He is Grand Duke Alexis, uncle of the czar and one of the greatest men in Russia." Utterly amazed, the woman asked: "In heaven's name, how should I address him?" "Oh, call him 'Your Excellency,' or 'Your Royal Highness,' was the answer. The woman resolved to do so, and the next day, as she was sprinkling some salt over the smoking potatoes which the grand duke had bought, she said: "I can recommend them to your royal highness, for I know your excellency has never tasted better, potatoes." The grand duke burst out laughing, and paid more for the potatoes than he had ever paid before, but he was annoyed at finding himself recognized and never returned to buy another potato. Girard Was Considerate One of the sea captains in the employ of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee's fondness for whitttling with his jackknife, and on one trip succeeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic sense, he really regarded the rail as greatly improved in appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Girard went aboard, made a general inspection in the captain's absence, and, as he was about to return to shore, asked one of the seamen who had been cutting the rail. The seaman told him the captain, and then, afraid his telling might have unpleasant consequences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard. The captain was in terror of a reprimand, but, hearing nothing from his employer, supposed the incident closed. As he was about weighing anchor ready to leave port, a dray loaded with shingles drove down to the wharf, and the driver hailed the vessel. "There must be some mistake! shouted the captain, "Our bill of lading doesn't mention shingles!" "This is where they belong!" sung back the driver, "Mr. Girard, himself, told me to deliver them! He said they're for the captain to whittle!" Gillette a Real Sherlock Holmes.

Astronomer Couldn't Get Line on Young Man and His Best Girl "In science," said the young man, "I have heard you say that the same law, when applied to the motions of all individualized aggregations of atoms, applies with equal persistency, and that, so long as we know what this law is, we can work out any problem to its ultimate conclusion, provided the conditions be such as to determine the nature of the problem." "Precisely." "We have, then, two bodies of polarized, aggregated animalcule (one of the first degree of density in Marshall's law, and the other of the second), alternately attracted and repulsed by the vibratory motion of Kepler's fourth equation. Moving together through space at the rate of seventeen miles per second, they are retarded by a fractional atmospheric pressure of one ohm to a specific gravity of 3,000 a year respectively. The varying degrees of density being duly considered, at the end of thirteen years and six months, what will be their respective relations?" "Where are these bodies at present located in regard to the sun?" "They are in the shade." The kindly old astronomer laid his hand on the other's arm. "My son," he said, nothing is easier in mathematics, once having the point of departure, the rate of speed and the relative degrees of density, to arrive at the location of two moving spatial objects, but I confess I am utterly powerless to get a line on you and your best girl." "New York Life." HAVE ANIMALS REASON? Experiments with a Poodle—He Was Taught to Read. "Have animals reason?" was one of the questions raised by Lord Aveybury in an interesting address given recently at the London institution, and certainly it seems hard to deny the intelligent poodle, Dan, with whom Lord Aveybury experimented, some glimmerings of the faculty which is said to separate men from brutes. Dan was able after a time to distinguish between the number of cards inscribed with such suggestive words as "Food," "Tea," "Water" and when he required anything to bring the right card. Lord Aveybury thought it was hardly possible to study closely communities of ants without allowing that they are possessed of reasoning powers in some degree and even of moral feeling. On the other hand, says the London Chronicle, the processional caternillar appears to be an insect of a very low order of intelligence. Processional caterpillars when out for an expedition weave a thread, by means of which they find their way back, and a small party was lured by an ingenious scientist up a flowerpot and round the top. He then cleared away the ascending thread and for eight days did those caterpillars walk round and round the top of the flowerpot, following the circular thread which remained, until they dropped off from fatigue and exhaustion. He Took the Jol. A characteristic story is told of Abe Gruber, the well-known New York lawyer. When he was a boy looking for something to do he saw the sign, "Boy Wanted," hanging outside a store in New York. He picked up the sign and entered the store. The proprietor met him. "What did you bring that sign in here for?" asked the storekeeper. "You won't need it any more," said Gruber, cheerfully. "I'm going to take the job." Curious Resemblance A curious resemblance exists between ex-Speaker Reed and Pat Sheedy, the noted gambler—especially odd from the fact that, though the big lawyer is often mistaken for the sporting man, the latter is very seldom honored by the reverse error. Mr. Reed sometimes has considerable difficulty in making it clear that he knows naught of horse racing, card games and other sinful amusements. Songs of Poets In Joyous Mood Immortal Minds Have Recognized the Significance of the Day. The solemn festival in honor of the resurrection has given inspiration to many poets to whom the joyfulness of the occasion, the coming of the light after darkness, of flowers springing from dead earth, of the raising up of buried hope into gladness, and of the perfection of virtue issuing out of sin—has appealed powerfully by one form of imagery if not by another. That greatest of latter-day poets, Robert Browning, in "Easter Day" writes of the amazement that will come to doubters: From repose We shall start up, at last awake. From life, that insane dream we take. For waking now, because it seems. Where is the Christian to whose sympathy those lines will not appeal in conjunction with others following them: With darkness, hunger, toil, distress, Be all the world a wilderness! Only let me go on, go on, Still hoping ever and anon To reach one end, the Better Land. Christina Rossetti, who has justly been called the poetess of death, never seemed to hymn her joys without enhancing their value by a recollection of past sorrow, yet her poem, "Resur- ction Eve," is begun by the sentiment— He resteth, weep not. And she would have us note how the Gray hours of morning, ere the day's dawning, are Brightened by gleams Of the sunbeams— Of the foresight Of resurrection, Of glorious being, Of full perfection, Of sins forgiven Before the face Of men and apes, Of God in heaven, The resting place That he inherits, James Russell Lowell concludes with the following verse, a poem which he entitled "Godmister Chimes," and wrote in aid of a chime of bells for Christ Church, Cambridge: Oh, chime of sweet Saint Charity, Peal soon that Easter morn. When Christ for all shall risen be, And that he shall born! That Pentecost that utterance clear To all men shall be given When all shall say "My Brother" here And hear "My Son" in heaven! Sir Lewis Morris adds a modern voice to the strain of Easter melody by the musical lines: The earth is no more, as it was at first, By some strange spell accurat; A mystery has passed a mystery, A boundless hope has had new heaven and The joy which stirs the world let it wake thee; A symbol of thy risen life is born. A awake, arise! this is the very morn; A mystery has been a mystery! If Wadsworth, that poet so dearly beloved by countless hearts, has failed to record in any special poem his feelings about the festival of Easter, there are lines in the "Excursion" concluding the fifth book of that work which can scarcely be excelled as thoughts with which to encourage meditation upon the mystern or the Resurrection Life, I repeat, is energy of love Divine or human; exercised in pain, In strife or tribulation, and ordained, Is so approved and sanctified to pass Throne shades and silent rest to endless love.

Gentlemen -- Being entirely cured of deafness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. For five years ago my right ear began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I lost my hearing in the last few months. For three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent ear specialist of this city, who told me that the head noses would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever. Then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treatment in this city. I was treated with a surgical procedure that the head noses would then cease, but the hearing in the affected ear would be lost forever.
