The American Citizen

Oldest and Best Weekly paper devoted to the Race in this section of the Country SOME GOOD ADVICE. In a few more days you will be allowed the glorious privilege of exercising your manhood by the rights of suffrage It is a question of paramount issue to all, that they vote for men representing the highest type of typical American manhood, men who represent are whom you believe will best interest the common people. We stand committed not only for the best interest of our race whose cause we endeavor to advocate, but that which we believe is to the best interest of the community. In the great United States it is the perogative of any man to vote for who he pleases. In the busy whirl of life, struggling for an existence, few people have the time to become fully cognizant of the issues before the public, nor do they have time or opportunity to become acquainted with the different men in different parties that aspires for office. They therefore must rely on some one or somebody to enlighten them. In these days of political chicanery and false pretention little reliance can be placed on those who are in positions to tell you the truth if they would. Now we would not have you believe that we are the only truthful people, because we are not: slangly speaking—"There are others" Laying all politics aside temporary and meeting you upon the broad The Next County Attorney. Hon Jno. E. McFadden the democrat is nominee for County attorney needs no elaborate introduction. Those of our readers who have watched our columns are thoroughly acquainted with his qualities. He is the present councilman from the 2nd ward. His record has been at every turn in the interest of the people. He is eminently known as a man of his word, true to the last towards his friends be they black or white. He will be elected is a sure thing—Then to be with a winner, a good man, a competent man, an all around hustler and a lawyer of unquestioned ability—vote for Jno. E. McFadden for County attorney. A reception was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Rhose, of 1246 Armstrong ave., Sunday Oct. 19, in honor of MissP. Shepherd of which the affair was a grand one. The table was handsomely decorated by Mrs. M. Harris one of our most artistic ladies, it was perfectly beautiful Those that were present and in full dress for the occasion were: Mrs. and Mrs. J. Jefferson, Mr. and Mrs. B. Williams, Mrs. N. Mitchel, Mr. J. Mitchel, Mrs. L. Macadon, Miss P. Shepherd, Mr. H. H. Rhose, Mrs. M. Hainey, and Mrs. M. Harris. A handsome set of Silver knives, forks tablespoons and teaspoons were presented by Ma. J. A. Rhee to Miss P. Shepherd in honor of the Womans Christian Association. Miss P. Shepard expects to take her departure about Nov. 4th for Hutchison Kansas where she will be wedded to Mr. R. Mcquiry, she was one of the brightest and best workers of the Womans Chistian Association and a brave missionary who would strike sin on any part of the ground she was also president of the Home and Foreign Missouri Circle of the Second Baptist church, Kansas City, Mo. she will miss her earnest work, for she was sun-shine to many homes, with the light of the gospel and her earnest prayers she has sown seed for the Master on the streets in the prison houses and club houses, both far and near, she was not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to every one that believe it but Kansas City's is hutchison gain for they will know she is there by her good work there are many heavy hearts on the account of her departure, especial Mother Rhore if she was a companion to her in tribulation and rooting up Satans camp she was Mother Rhore's singer so part of mother Rhore will be gone, for where your heart is your treasure be also, but we will see her again if not in this life we will assemble in the mansion above where Chist has prepared for his blood washed saints. THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. plains of American Citizenship meeting you man to man talking to you as a brother, pleading to you in your own behalf what we tell you is nothing less than absolute truth. Back behind all we say is stubborn facts while you read this in a Negro journal—well we must admit that the common people have one common cause—be they white or black what effects one, sooner or later ultimately effects the other We have from time to time extolled the qualities of men we conscientiously feel and in some cases know—who are best fitted and competent to act in the capacity of a public servant. We stand for men and not parties in this struggle now coming on we ask you to support: Mayor W. H. Craddock for Governor, Hon. Noah L. Bowman for Congress, 2nd district, Hon. Jno. E. McFadlen for county attorney, Hon. M.S. Peters for Probate judge, Hon. Frank Holcomb for county clerk, R. L.Marshman for county commissioner 1st district. Hon. J.D. Waters for sheriff, D. E. Cornell for the county treasurer, Bert Cooke for Register of deeds. We call you special attention to these. Leaving you to accept what you want of the rest of the two tickeis but asking you to not forget these tried and true we have mentioned. OUR NEXT SHERIFF. Again we call the attention of the voters of Wyandotte county to the name of Hon. J. D. Waters the democratic nominee for sheriff and a man of much reliability. A man who stands before the people a member of no organized gang but a straight forward upright citizen. A man who if elected will make Wyandotte county one of the very best sheriffs it ever had. We have repeatedly sang his praises through these columns. As the time now draws nigh-we appeal to every man who delights in honoring manhood, who believe in a man being a man to cast his vote for J. D. Waters for Sheriff. His past record stands untarnished before the public. He is identified with no gang that has for its object the discrimination against foreigners an Negroes. He is an ideal citizen, a thorough business man and a gentleman. Every voter in Wyandotte county who possesses the pride that characterize all true citizens should deem it an exceptionable privilege to vote for a man so true to all that is best and right Mr. Waters is the son of an old union veteran has been reared into manhood in an around Wyandotte county. We have absolutely no misgivings in asking the voters of this county to stand by Hon. J. D. Waters. We have no doubts as to what the major portion of the community will do in the ejection of that excellent gentleman Mr. Waters. They Say She sings with all case of a mill ionaire I have a B—man working for me. Is life after all just what you make it. A good many people measure to other people: in their own half bushill recuse it has a false bottom. Is marriage a failure and happiness a delusive dream? Vote for W. H. Craddock for governor stand up for Wyandotte county. Lower Minn. ave. is getting popular with some more of us. Suckers are the kind of fish that bite. We wonder if he does not know his head is being bumped-what fools some mortals be. The wedding bells are ringing merrily on. The three C's at at No. 5 cannot exactly be called three of a kind-some travel a little faster. Sporting life is killing. Wonder who it is that cuts out things in this column and tsm as a whip. Its awful to have more than one string to your bow. May be the bricks that were thrown hit you-because you were in the way. Drop out to No. 5 some time and see the boys hitch. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS FRIDAY MORNING. J. E. Anderson, Evangelist of the Christian church of Bloomington, Ill. is in the city, preaching some Soul stiring Gospel Sermons at 8th St. Christian church every body is invited to hear the Gospel and decide for themselves as to what they will do with it, every man woman and child is under obligation to hear the Gospel, it is the only means to save; and make Christians, Rom. 1:16 Brother Anderson desires to see his race lifted upon a higher plane of living the Gospel is a means of lifting and building up the race, two great lessons the "Negro" needs to learn. First:—The lesson of economy, how to save his money that he might be able to secure his own home to educate his children in order to do this he must stop paying $200 for pianos to put into a rented house instead of first buying the house. Second:—Learn to stand together as a race for every good and every elevating thing, against every wrong low and degrading, support all business enterprises among your race, spend less money for worldly amusement and things he do not need. Namely Whisky! Beer! Save his money buy and read good literature. Support the Negro newspapers. Owed we stand, divided we fail. If he would pay more money to put the gospel into the hearts of the people the jails and state prisons would not be filled with the son's and daughters of the race. Tales of Two Cities Vote for Jno.

Help us all of one accord. And heaven will send its rich reward. By Miss Ruth Gr ffin, a Nurse. Kansas City, Kansas., Stones were formed into the shapes of beetles by the ancient Egyptians. They regarded the beetle as an emblem of immortality, and hence it was the most popular of all forms of ornament. Counterfeit beetles of common stones were commonly buried with dead persons, and it was customary to engrave upon them the expression of wishes for future repose and happiness, dedications of the soul to God and various hieroglyphs. One of the latter was a hawk with a human head, symbolizing resurrection. Another, the vulture, meant maternity. A goose was the son of a king. "She had just refused a man worth a million." Slobbs—Well, I guess it's better luck to pick up one than to sit down on it. Philadelphia Record. LEAD ON HYPNOTISM. Will Hypnotize Man to Determine Degree of His Death. The use of hypnotism as a means of legal investigation has just been sanctioned by the Ghent court of appeals in regard to a case known as the "Borreman trial," which it was found impossible to elucidate by means of ordinary evidence. It appears that in the course of certain celebrations held at Alost in June, 1899, M. W. Borreman, a merchant of that town, was seriously injured, and as a result upward of twenty arrests were made, four of the defendants were fined and one condemned to two months' imprisonment, while damages were awarded to the plaintiff. An appeal was subsequently made on behalf of defendants, and a new trial has been in progress for some time past. One of the principal points put forward by M. Borreman was that as a result of the attack made upon him, he suffered from deafness. Medical examination having failed to give satisfactory evidence as to the degree of deafness from which he suffered, its cause, or the probability of curing it, three experts who had charge of the case, and among whom is a professor of Ghent university, submitted that in order to elucidate these points they should hypnotize M. Borreman. The latter having given his consent, the court has just sanctioned the carrying out of the proposal. This is the first time in Belgium that the use of hypnotism has been sanctioned for judicial purposes. The result is awaited with considerable interest. BEAUTIFUL OCEAN ANEMONES. Specks on Shells Are Beautiful Living Ocean Flower Along the entire Atlantic coast there lie, day after day, tide after tide, clam shells, small shells, and stones with dirty, silimy, wart-like specks on them. Rub them, and nothing is left except a disagreeable viscid fluid. Yet all these specks are living ocean flowers, the wonderful sea anemones that vle with land flowers in beauty and with the oddest of land animals of oddity. Pick up one of these dirty shells with the warts on it and place it carefully in a pool of clear, cold sea water, where the tide can reach it to keep it pure, and you will see a marvelous thing. So slowly that the motion is almost imperceptible the wart will lengthen itself out just the least bit. Then its apex begins to swell, and finally a sharp eye can see that it is opening. Suddenly petals commence to sprout from it. You are beholding the growth of a perfect sea blossom. Bit by bit the delicate, rich-tinted petals grow. It may take five minutes, it may take an hour, according to circumstances, before the flower is open. But it is worth waiting for, even if one has to wait an entire day. These petals are of every shape and of every size and of every color. Some anemones are exactly like splendid dahlias when they are fully open. Others are of a delicate texture and tint like purple sesta. Tarsely Expressed. Elbert Hubbard says of the poet Gray: "His life gave the lie to his logic." In this verse sentence "Fra Elbertus" has expressed an opinion concerning one person which has been entertained by nearly every one, of many. Perhaps your thought was never before crystallized into words like these, but you have had the thought, just the same. For instance, you have heard the blustering bully boasting of his bravery, and then when the test of his courage came, you have seen him cringe in cowardly fear. "His life gave the lie to his logic." Again, you have heard the solemn prayer, "Forgive us our treppasses as we forgive these who trespass against us," fall from the lips of one in whose breast you knew rankled bitterest hatred. "His life gave the lie to his logic." Or, you have heard the skeptic ridicule prayer, and then you have heard him call lustily upon the Lord in an hour of sudden calamity. "His life gave the lie to his logic." A father gives wise counsel to his boy and then in the presence of that boy practices the very things he counsels against. "His life gives th lie to his logic." And so might b multiplied illustrations of this Roy crofter truth.—Marlon Record. 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. Atmospheric Waves. The atmospheric ocean surrounding the earth is frequently disturbed by gilantic waves, which are invisible except when they carry parts of the air charged with moisture up into a colder atmospheric stratum, where sudden condensation occurs. In this manner long, par. lil lines of clouds sometimes make their appearance at a great height, marking the crests of a ripple of air waves running miles above our heads.-Chicago Chronicle. TOO MUCH OF A PROBLEM. 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 9,000 a year respectively. The varying degree 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. THE HAPPY DAYS OF AGR. Youth takes itself with the same seductions which belongs to age in a time of less knowledge; and one of the greatest proofs of a more complete mastery by the world of the art of living is the wish and ability to be careless, says Seribner's. The one who is learning to dance counts the step, and that is what are has ceased to do; while youth is still whispering "one, two, three," most seduously to itself. --- The Fretful Baby in an Omnibus. A correspondent of the London Pall Mall Gazette vouchers for this incident: A young woman with a fretful baby in a full omnibus (aloud): "Poor little muppet, I suppose I shall end by 'aving to take 'im to the 'orspital.' (Raising the child's veil and looking around for sympathy.) "Don't get no rest. 'E is sufferer' with small pox." Woman Sells Her Teeth. A Chandler (O. T.) paper says that a Kansas City woman visiting in Chandler noticed the fine teeth possessed by one of the local belles. She offered the belle $100 for two of the teeth, beside all her expenses in coming to Kansas City to have them extracted, and it is understood that the offer was accepted. Toys for Poor Children The prefect of the Seine distributed 25,000 francs (£5,000) in the arrondissements of Paris to buy toys for poor children on Jan. 1. The sum was bequeathed to M. Vincent, a friend of Victor Hugo, who made an annual distribution after the poet's death and continued the benefaction in his will. Origin of "Arabian Nights." Professor Seybold of Stuttgart has discovered in the Tuebingen university library an Arabian manuscript 500 years old, which is probably the original of "The Arabian Nights." He has also found manuscripts describing the whole religious system of the Druses. Boars Still in the Field. Col. Sir Vincent Sheffield, who has returned from South Africa, said in a speech at Eaton, England, Feb. 6, that when he left from eighty to ninety Boer commandos of about 200 men such were still in the field, or in all 16,000 to 18,000 men. U.S. Taxes in Malta The business of the council of government of Malta is not transacted by the vice president and six official members, the thirteenth elected representatives having withdrawn as a protest against a legal illegal taxes. Good Hater. This phrase was first used by Dr. Johnson, who said of Bathurst, a physician: "He was a man to my very heart's content. He hated a fool, and he hated a rogue, and he hated a whig; he was a very good hater." Care for Blackwater Fever. Hitherto blackwater fever, the terrible scourge of central Africa, has been without remedy, but one has been discovered in a native decoction made from the roots of the cassia tree. Tarin Uses Oil Lamps Owing to a strike of gas workers at Turin the principal streets of the town are now illuminated by oil lamps. The supply of gas to private houses has been suspended. Perfume for Roman Wines Pertume for Romans Wines Greek and Roman wines were perfumed, generally by steeping the leaves of roses or violets in the liquor until it had acquired the odor of the flowers. 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 these lines will not appeal in conjunction with others following them: With darkness, hunger, toil, distress, Be all the world's 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, "Resurrection Eve," is begun by the sentiment— He resteth, weep not. And she would have us note how the Gray hours of morning, are the day's dawning, are Brightened by gleams Of the sunbeams— By the foreseeing Of resurrection, Of glorious being, Of full perfection, Of sins forgiven Before the face Of men and spirits, Of God in heaven, The resting place That he inherits. Brightened by gleams Of the sunbeams— By the foreseeing Of the surveying 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 "Godminster Chimes," and wrote in aid of a chime of bells for Christ Church, Cambridge: Oh chime of sweet Saint Charity, Real peace more than When Christ for all shall risen be, And in all hearts new-born! That Pentecost when utterance clear To all men shall be given When all shall say "My Brother" here, And hear "My Son" heaven! Sir Lewis Morris adds a modern voice to the strain of Easter melody by the musical lines: That is the joy of life, Joy bought by sacrifice. Pleasure for hopeless sighs, And rest for stifle. The stifle is more, as it was at first, By some strange spell accurat; A mystery has passed a mystery, A boundless hope has bid new heaven and earth to be. Rise, happy death, arise, Thy wintry darkness done To greet the new risen sun. Oh, soul, arise! The joy which stirs the world let it wake these. A symbol of thy risen life is born. Awake, arise; this is the very morn; A mystery has been a mystery! If Wadworth, that poet so dearly beloved by countless hearts, has failed to record in any special poem hisfeel- ings 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 of the Resurrec- tion: Life, I repeat, is energy of love Divine or human; exercised in pain In strife and tribulation, and ordained, Is so approved and sanctified to pass Through shades and silent rest to endless joy. Mrs. Thomas A. Hendricks, widow of the former vice-president, consented to sell the home where her husband spent his last years, to make way for building improvements in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis negro, Cantrell, under arrest for grave robbing and confessing the crime, is a graduate of Tuskegee university. Professor Woodrow Wilson's inauguration as president of Princeton university, to which he was elected last June, will take place on Saturday, October 25. One hundred years ago it was considered a wonderful achievement for ten men to manufacture 48,000 pins in a day. Now three men can make 1,500,000 in the same time. If You Didn't Ble Eating twelve mince pies between Christmas day and Twelfth day is said to insure the eater twelve lucky or happy months during the following year He Took the Job. 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." Henry Clay and the Hunter. When Henry Clay was stumping Kentucky for re-election, at one of his mass meetings an old hunter of wide political influence said: "Well, Harry, I've always been for you, but because of that vote (which he named) I go'n agin' you." "Let me see your rifle," said Clay. It was handed to him, "is she a good rifle?" "Yes," "Did she ever miss fire?" "Well, yes, once." "Why didn't you throw her away?" The old hunter thought a moment and then said: "Harry, I'll try you again." And Harry was elected. Crookeddeat River in America From its four heads in the Boston mountains to Batesville, where it leaves the Ozarks and enters the Arkansas lowlands, White river is a succession of astonishing curves. Neither river on the continent so often and so nearly doubles upon itself. From the source to the flat country is a distance on a straight line of perhaps 150 miles. White river between these points has a course of over 600 miles; some estimates make it 1,000 miles. Millions for Snowshede. Thirty-two miles of snowsheds, costing $661 a foot, or a total of $19,813,440, represents the price one transcontinental railway had to pay before it could run its trains over the Rocky mountain division of its road. That was merely the first cost; since that outlay fully $1,000,000 has been spent annually in keeping the sheds in repair and the exposed tracks free from snow. Old-Time Surgery. A grim souvenir of an old-time war was on view in a cutter's window in the east end of London recently. It is an ebony-handled saw, which, according to an inscription on a brass plate attached to the instrument, was used by a surgeon of the British army to amputate the limbs of wounded soldiers at Blenheim, Malplaquet and Ramillies. Tall Men Scaree. The directors of the Great Northern of England have issued a circular letter to the station agents stating that in future the standard height for porters in the passenger department shall be five feet six inches, and in the goods department five feet four inches. This is a considerable reduction, forced by a scarcity of taller men. Bridge Burned With Electricity A novel method of destroying a wooden bridge has recently been tried with complete success. Weighted wires are placed across certain beams and heated by means of electricity; the wires burn their way through the wood, aided by the weights, and the bridge falls. World's Largest Idol The biggest idol in the world is Dia Buten, the Japanese god, which is over sixty feet high. The image is made of copper, tin, mercury and gold, and has been worshiped for more than twelve senturies. --- Ambassador Chate has recovered completely from an attack of influenza, and is back again at his desk in the university of London. Geonod's Lost Opera Few people are aware that Gounod once, in a moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and, though he afterwards repented of his action, he was quite unable to recall its melodies. Gounod's opera "Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scarcities of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity, he thought better of his resolution. Bare Old Bible Found. A wonderful old Bible has just been discovered in Venice, the fortune finder being Leo S. Olschki, a well-known antiquarian of Florence. It is in five large volumes, and was printed in Rome in the printing house of Don Pietro Massimo in 1471 and 1472. Soon after it came from the press it was purchased by a patrician family of Venice, and it was in the archives of this family that Olschki discovered it A. Grissin Novel Visiting Card From the Ladies' Home Journal: The Russians tell a story of the late Carl Alexian III, that upon the rare occasion it was it incumbent upon him to pay a call he would take a gold coin bearing his "image and super-scription" and twisting it between thumb and finger leave it in lieu of a card—the only man in Russia who had strength for the feat. American Bottles the Best American bottles are preferred to all others for the export trade, and especially in warm climates where American and English goods come into close competition. American glass is said to stand tropical climates better than the English, the reason being that it is better annealed. Franxeral Minerals. The Transvaal is the richest country in the world so far as minerals are concerned. In 1877 England annexed the Transvaal, but evacuated it in 1881. In 1848 England conquered and annexed the Orange Free State, but evacuated it six years later. TOO MUCH FOR ToM. ‘His Bravery Saved the Day, But the Hero Filed, _ I hear that Tom went out to see you while you were away in the country,’ observed the girl with the sun-burned nose. “Yes,” replied the girl who had just been burying freckle lotion; “he didn‘ stay long, though.” “You quarreled, eh?” “Humph! is it likely that I’ quarrel with him when he was the only man in & summer boarding house and all the other girls dying for a chance at him?

Not a lawyer in the county would touch his case, It looked bad enough to ruin the reputation of any barrister. “The man, as a last extremity, ap- pealed to Mr. Clay to take the case 101 him.

To the bulk of English-speaking took it now means the book of books. In Chaucer's day it meant any book whatever, or scroll—to speak by the card, lest equivocation unto us.

For Gate Displacement "I had business in the far West last sister," and a Boston lawyer the other day, and while I was stopping in a small town for a day or two a man was foriding for stealing a horse. I went over a court to see how they put things through and closely followed the evidence on both sides. There wasn't the shadow of a doubt in my mind that the witness was guilty, and that evening I and to his lawyer: "You'll love your case tomorrow. The jury must certainly convict."

If single beds were more numerous than they are a great many people would be better off. When one is tired, bed, rest, restless, out of sorts, he or she ought to sleep alone and not communicate by proximity the mainities that afflict him. The best features they die by and themself they die or get over their troubles. In this lastist a great many human beings have. Those that have it are bees if included in it—not to the slightest degree of neglect, however. Where two children in a family must share the same room, in a great many cases they would be better off to have two single beds rather than one wide double bed. We can share a great many things to those we love, but solitude comes into the world alone, and we live in it alone, in a certain important sense, and to get and keep our "bearings" we must sometimes be left alone, it is good that we should be—Family Doctor. An Odd Nugget of Gold There have been many large and oddly shaped gold nuggets found in the United States and elsewhere, but the oldest of them all was that discovered at the Midhana mine, on Sulky gully, near Melbourne, Australia, in 1887. The nugget was flat and almost the exact counterpart in contour of a colossal human hand held open, with the exception of the thumb and forefinger, which were closed together in a manner so as to make it appear that the thumb was holding the finger in place. Its greatest length was $12\%$ inches and its greatest width 8 inches. It was of the very purest gold, with but a little of foreign substances adhering, mostly between the "fingers" and weighed 61 ounces. It was found in the northwest main drive of the Midhana mine, 120 feet below the surface of the earth and at a spot only fifty feet from where the famous Lady Brassay nugget was discovered the year before. It weighed fifty-one pounds of pure gold. John D.

George Smith, a prominent business man of St. Paul, took an active part. He won first prize, a solid silver loving cup, in the artistic automobile contest. Never in the history of parades has there been a more beautiful one than the automobile march, in which all kinds of motor vehicles, elaborately and fantastically decorated, formed in line and wound in in and out of the streets of Minneapolis. A prize was offered for the most artistically and elaborately decorated automobile, one in which the trimmings made a complete and attractive design. Mr. Smith carried off the cup without a murmur of dissent. His automobile was one of the newest construction, small, light and easy running. Given these advantages, Mr. Smith brought forth all his artistic talent and evolved a design which when first put down on DOG ADOPTS LI DOG ADOPTS LITTER OF KITTENS. Odd charity is shown by a shepherd dog belonging to Anson E. Bigelow of Phoenix, Arlz., which has adopted two kittens and is performing for the feline waits, all the duties of a good mother. dog has always been an implace enemy of cats, and nothing has delighted her so much as to ch frightened cats up hill and down o and finally tree them. Two months ago Mr. Bigelow's dog became mother of a litter of pups that lived several weeks and died of accidental poisoning. Meanwhile a litter of kittens was born in a neighbor's barn, and the mother cat was accidentally killed when the kittens were just about able to walk about. Giving and whining over the loss of her pups, strayed into the barn where the motherless kittens were mewing for maternal attention. Mr. Bigelow says that his RELIC OF WAGNER In Germany the original manuscript of some dances composed by Richard Wagner in his youth has been discovered, and on the first page appears the following humorous dedication: "Here are a waltz, a polka and some other things, all of which are dedicated to the beautiful and graceful Marie of Dusdorf, by Richard, the best dancer in Saxony and the manufacturer of waltzes. "Your humble composer begs you to believe that he would have used more excellent paper if it had been in his power. He, therefore, requests his patroness to follow the example of God, who, as everyone knows the waltz with the words, more of one one's performance. Finally, the compiling the execution sages that appear ted and that he be any fault of which regard to counterpoise This entire man by Wagner and is musician, one real Wagner never spoiled during his later life of his intimate friend had composed them Wheat elevators in Manchuria are huge cylindrical structures of matting, with no structure of more permanent material about them. Yet they are sufficiently durable for the purpose, and one of them will hold several thousand bushels of grain. The matting or reeds is wound about WIDOW WOOS HER SON. In Berlin, as in all other cities, there are buxom young widows, and one of them recently decided that it was time for her to marry again, and, therefore, she advertised for a husband. She received several replies, and after carefully studying them she selected one which purported to come from a prosperous country merchant, and she gave him a loving that she would be pleased to meet him at the railroad station in the Friedrichstrasse at a certain hour. Then she gave a brief but flattering description of herself, and concluded by saying that he could easily identify her Ocean travel from Europe is now at its height, and there are said to be 17,000 Americans on the other side of the Atlantic who cannot obtain passage to the United States.

Too dandy for execution. Mrs A. C. Jameson, of St Paul ennused by the sleek design, consented to put her entire time and skill upon the work. As a whole, the auto was to present a flower charlot drawn by a dove, in which St Paul was seated, as though on a throne. Eight thousand pink roses, full blown and just in bud, were used in trimming the body of the automobile. The entire vehicle was completely banked with roses and flowers. Rose wore massed against the side of the automobile; they grew riotous over it, and were even entwined in the spokes of the wheels. The frames of the wheels were of white enamel, and the tires were painted a leaf green. At the rear of the automobile, directly back of St Paul, was a large rose bush, from which fell a shower of rosebuds. Hovering over this mass of floral beauty contained 30 butterflies with outspread wings. TTER OF KITTENS. dog has always been an implacable enemy of cats, and nothing has ever delighted her so much as to chase frightened cats up hill and down dale and finally tree them. She has a yellow surprise to see his dog go bounding across the barn floor to a pallet of straw where the two kittens were crawling about, and, by caresses and whines, woo the timid kittens to acceptance of herself as their mother. That was a month ago. The provident old mother has brought to the family dead gophers, ground squirrels and once again and the kittens finally grieved when the kittens gave no heed to the diet placed before them. who, as everyone knows, thinks more of the waltz than of the paper, or, in other words, more of one's intention than of one's performance." Finally, the composer asks that, during the execution of his work all passages that appear too difficult be omitted and that he be kindly pardoned for any fault of which he may be guilty in regard to counterpoint. This entire manuscript was written by Wagner and is special interest to musician and composer, being because Wagner never spoke of these dances during his later years and only a few of his intimate friends knew that he had composed them. in cylindrical form as fast as the grain is poured in, and this the structure rises with the contents. Finally, the top is covered over with straw mats to protect the wheat against rain, and the work is done. When this primitive kind of elevator is to be emptied the matting, which is a strip about 18 inches wide, is unwound. OS HER SON. at the railroad station, for she would have in her hand a bunch of red roses, and she suggested that he wear a few violets in his buttonhole. At the appointed time she went to the station, and, sure enough, among the men there was one who wore a few violets in his buttonhole. He recognized the widow at once, and yet he did not approach her. She, too, recognized him, and was ashamed that she and he should meet in this fashion. The simple reason was because she discovered too late that she had made an appointment with her own son, a lad of 18 years. Ballooning is now receiving attention is a possible remedy for pulmonary affections. The conditions are not the same as those of mountaineering, the change of altitude being more rapid, and muscular fatigue being absent. In the trips of the French Society of Physiology Dr. Henocque proposes to regard the atmosphere as divided into three zones. Up to about three miles the surrounding air supplies all the oxygen needed, but ascents beyond five miles are held to require a closed car, as was first suggested in 1871, or an earlial diving suit. Amid all this beauty and daintiness sat Mr. Smith, wearing a monk's robe. He held white satin ribbons, which were affixed at the far ends of two magnificent white doves, the best production of an expert taxidermist, and seemed to roll along drawn by these lovely birds. At night the automobile showed to best advantage, for in among the roses, cunningly fixed along the ribbons and wound about the wheels of the automobile, were tiny electric lights which flashed in and out as the automobile sped along. At the saintly lighted halo was held above the saint's head by means of a brass rod and as Mr. Smith touched the halo with a seepre in response to the cheers of the crowd he caused to glow in the palm of his hand a brilliant light. At the same time the lights glowed in the beaks of the doves and over the entire automobile spread this fire as though by magic. INCAS CHILD MOTHER Once proud, the race of Incas that ruled the former empire of Peru are reduced today to a condition worse than slavery. In addition, they are generally infected with a disease which has contaminated even their domestic beast of labor, the llama. The girls develop early, marry and become mothers when mere children. Perhaps they marry early to have grown-up families to support them up from a time of today care for the most great enemies of Peru as 2,000 of them living on one vast plantation, doing all the manual labor. For the work of themselves and llamas they receive nothing except the cocoa leaf, a stimulant and anesthetic, which they constantly chew and without A woman carrying a child. which they will not work. Each family cultivates a small patch, for the products of which the landlord pays them about one-twentieth of the market value. They are so poor that, although a lamb may be bought for 50 cents, they cannot eat meat, living entirely on maize meal, roasted. Men and women go barefooted in all seasons, but in GRASSHOPPER SHOWS Farmer folks in Utah have adopted a modern and grown-up vision of the "pin shows" of childhood to assist in ridding the crops of the locust pest which threatens them. The yield last year was almost ruined by the insects, so this season a series of entertainments has been arranged, to which an admission fee of half a bushel of grass-hoppers was charged. The first evening's receipts amounted to 75 bushels. The greatest number on the program was the last, which read: "The Funeral Pyre." It consists of mock ceremonies attending the burning of the bushels, receiving several hundred bushels of these destructive insects have already through this clever means gone up in smoke, to the attendant delight of both old and young who assisted at the cremation. The children in San Pete county, where the idea originated, go out on grasshopper hunts with as much excitement in view for the day as if the quarry were rabbits or coons—and the trophies of the chase are welcomed by parents much more. At the present rate of progress it is hoped that the war of extermination may arrest the ravages of the enemy. The hard coal heating stove trade has received a chill. The estate of a Long Island mlser, recently deceased, shows up $40,000 in cash. During his later years he denied himself many of the necessities of life in order that his heirs might enjoy the usurfunct. So deep is the reverence for his memory that the heirs are squabbling over paying for a $28 headstone. A statistician in one of the reviews notes that "figures don't lie, but liars figure."

Attorney General Knox is said to keep a business secret to perfection, but when it comes to family affairs he will divulge secrets and carefully planned surprises with the glee of a bad boy, and this he did in New York just before sailing for Europe, says the Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune. When Mrs. Knox was last in Pittsburgh, she had a pianola crated for their youngest child, Philander, and shipped it to Washington. She rented a piano suitable for a small boy's room and attached the mechanical device. It was all intended as a surprise for the little son, who, with his sister and brother, was still at Atlantic City. The attorney general entered into the spirit of the surprise with delight. Just before leaving Washington he telegraphed Miss Knox and her brothers to meet him in New York preparatory to his departure for Europe. Of course little Phil, who is the attorney general's chum, went with them. Doubtsless running short of other small conversation and wishing to be agreeable his father divulged the secret of the pianola. When Phil arrived in Washington a day later, his mother told him she had a surprise for him. "Is it the pianola?" asked the youngster. The case is hopeless. The attorney general cannot keep a family secret, much to the distress of his amiable wife, and the bad habit extends to birthdays and Christmas as well. HELPED EVERYBODY. Gainesville, Tex. Oct. 27—Mrs. L. E. has been at 587 Gladstone street, this city for some time. While here Mrs Burton has been the means of doing much good by introducing to her sick friends, a remedy which it seems is very popular in Kansas but which has not been very much heard of in this neighborhood. It is called Dodd's Kidney Pills and in every case where it has been used it has produced wonderful results. Mrs. Burton has good reason to speak well of Dodd's Kidney Pills for they have done much for her and her family. She says: "I must tell everybody what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for me and for as many of my friends as have used them. "I had a very bad case of Kidney Trouble for which I had been doctoring long time without benefit. I saw Dodd's Pills, recommended. I tried them and was completely cured. My mother and my brother were ill and they took them and were soon well again. "Dodd's Kidney Pills have done much for us." In the Isle of Man, as in Scotland, much of the humor depends upon odd turns of expression. "If aver I get to heaven, pass n" (parson), said an old parish clerk, "it'll be under your patronage." The notion here is funny enough, giving a vivid glance of the future state as depicted by a man who had seldom been outside his own parish, or the humor may consist merely in the unexpected use of some particular word. A queer old character who had been given a new muffler and kept it carefully wrapped up in paper, instead of using it, replied to all remonstrances, "I'm not goin' fur to make a hak of it at all." Upon another occasion he remarked to a visitor, who had been much benefitted in health by a residence in the island, "You iss a much batter gentleman now till you wass when you came," with which may be compared the courtly minister's "who putteth her ladyship's trust in thee."—London Saturday Review. Bullets made of precious stones are rarities in warfare.

Men on Reaching Mature Age Cannot Account for Follies of Youth. The chief distinction between 20 and 40 seems to be that the youth is buoyed with the wisdom of conceit, whereas the man is burdened with the conceit of wisdom. It is a very silly thing to generalize from one's personal experience. Nearly all the men I know are liars, yet doubtless I touch elbows with truth every day. At 20 you blush when a man praises you; at 30 you uthink him a clever fellow; at 40 wonder what he wants. Be prepared from early youth to make all most splendid sacrifices, provided you do not change your mind as to their utility. The cynic is the most conceived of human beings. He believes all men are knaves or fools, and excepts himself. Friendship is a benefit association (limited) which, by going bankrupt, enables you to discover that you are your own best friend. Persons who have never nursed an illusion may have laid up a dollar or two, but all their money can never buy the delights of the dreamer. What a shock to the virtuous man who life in life discovers that the principles he fought hardest for were only prejudices. It is an appalling possibility that at 50 I may pitty the man at 40—myself—as at present I cannot account for my folly at 25. A compensation of personal tragedy is that it frequently quickens the victim's sense of humor. A pessimist is not a good many things he thinks he is, but he is something he never thought of—one who is constantly trying to stand in his own shadow. An optimist is a good many things he thinks he isn't; but chiefly he is simply a person afraid to face the truth. A keen sense of the ridiculous may be a bar to success, but as long as you keep it you will never feel yourself wholly a failure.-Chicago Record-Herald. There is one word of caution that never grows old or stale, because there is a fresh lot of innocents coming along every year. The traditional birth-rate of the "sucker"—one every minute—has increased to a thousand. In greater droves than ever before the lambs have gone baa-ing and bleating into Wall Street during the past twelve months. Oil fields have claimed their thousands, gold fields their tens of thousands, and the "get-rich-quick" men the undived remainder. Nothing has been too transparent, too flimy, to catch its crowd of innocents. Every old skin-game and a hundred new ones have been worked on and have worked the public. As a rule, the larger the profit you are offered the surer you are to lose your capital. The greater the percentage promised the better your chance of losing everything you have got. The kittens of a wild-cat are wild-cats, and it is useless to expect angoras. When a company advertises stock at thirty-five cents a share and announces an annual dividend, three days or a dividend paid in stock, you get the certificate no doubt, but nine times out of ten they are just paper. Small investors have no place in companies of this sort unless they have personally investigated them, nor in larger concerns, even though they are trusts, capitalized for many millions, where they will be at the mercy of half a dozen cuthroats who can manipulate values to suit themselves. Invest in nothing which you have not investigated. First, know the character of the men who make up the company and direct its affairs, and second, the character of the properties from which your profits must come. There is only one way to get rich quick, and that is to get rich slow; to miss big profits and to miss big losses.—Saturday Evening Post. The 20-round bout Friday night between Charlie Haughey of Philadelphia and "Young Peter" Jackson, at Baltimore, Md., resulted in a draw. The Rev. Ojhn Wagner, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Hazelton, Pa., lately declined a proffered increase of $300 in his salary, saying that he was already receiving enough to satisfy him, and suggesting that the proposed increase be diverted to the fund for the erection of a new church. He has served the church faithfully and most acceptably for twenty-eight years. "Isn't there any quicker way of getting to the top than this?" grumbled the mountain climber, tired of his devious, zig-zag path he was following. "Oh, yes," cheerfully responded the guide.

There are a good many ants of different virtues on the lot at my country place near Covington, and last year I began to make a systematic study of their habits. I found it a most fascinating pursuit, and have resumed it with much enthusiasm during several visits this year. A little investigation will convince almost anybody, I think, that the ant approaches nearer to a animal of intelligence than any of the lower order of the things I have seen are so marvelous that I would hesitate to speak of them if similar wonders had not been fully recorded by trained scientists. Near one of my flower-beds is a colony of small red ants that are extremely industrious in collecting food, and they frequently perform the most astonishing engineering feats in transporting heavy burdens to their homes. Not long ago I watched a party of about a dozen that had found the body of a small spider, and were dragging it toward the nest. The spider had hairy legs, which shook out in every direction and caught on obstacles, greatly retarding progress. For several minutes the ants rolled away with their awkward booty, and then stopped and seemed to hold a council. A minute later they moved long ground; presently they all laid hold and pulled the spider on top of it. They then seized the edges and slid it along without difficulty. On another occasion I saw a large body of these same ants start out for a raid on another colony. They marched like an army, with scouts thrown out at the sides, and, when several feet distant from the nest, divided into two parties. One kept straight on and was soon engaged in fierce combat with the other tribe, while the second detachment made a detour and fell upon the hill from the rear. The result was a great victory for the invaders. Anybody that feels interested in the subject and that will put a little time at close study will be certain to witness exploits fully as astonishing as those I have described it.—Times-Democrat. Otojiro Kawakami, whose company is playing with such success in London, is the Henry Irving of Japan. In fact, his influence upon the drama of his native country has been even more marked than in the case of the great English actor. Originally a diplomatist attached to the Japanese embassy in Paris, he was fascinated by the French theater, and on his return to Tokyo to work to apply the lessons learned in Paris, with the result that he completely overcame the anime stage. Effect this he had to be his own playwright, and, in addition to the many original dramas which flowed from his clever pen numerous excellent adaptations of European plays have been produced at his Tokyo theater. Even now he is giving the finishing touches to Japanese versions of "Nell Gwynn" and "The Merchant of Venice." HOW'S THIS?
