It is so strange about election time you can meet so many white men who were raised up with "colored people." Why is it that a Negro cannot be an independent voter. It is strange to other a Negro is so forgetful of wrongs done him try a white man and remembers so distinctly what a member of his race does. Strange how much interest a poor old honest Negro takes in a white mans politics—He spends sleepless nights, stands out in the cold, fights, votes and does innumerable things. The white men get the office and the poor old Negro picks up his shovel and brick hod until the next election. LOCALLY. Call up 1958 West—with your news if not right we will fix it.

THE NEGRO The study of the Negro population of the United States recently published by the Census Bureau discloses some facts that show very clearly that the colored race is steadily developing a complete social and industrial system of its own. Alarge city canbe formed without a sing white man in it, and yet lack for no trade or profession. There are 21, 268 Negro teachers and college professors in the United States and 15,530 clergymen. The Negro could finance a railroad thro their 82 banks and brokers, lay it out with their 129 civil engineersand surveyors condemn the right away with their 728 lawyers, make the rails with their 12,327 iron and steel workers, build the road with their 545, 826 laborers, construct its telegraph system with their 186 electrician and their 529 linemen, and operate it with their 55, 327 railway employees. Colored people complain of having to sit in the galleries of the theatres, but their 2,945 actors and showmen might give them theatres of their own, in which to occupy boxes in solitary grandeur. They have 52 architects designers and draughtsmen 236 artists and teachers of arts, 1,734 physicians and surgeons 012 dentists, 210 journalists, 3,921 musicians and teachers of music ninety-nine literary and scientific persons. The colored taby can be introduced to the world by Negro physicians and nurse, instructed in every accomplishment by Negro teachers, supplied with every requisite of life by Negro merchants, housed by Negro builders and buried by a Negro undertaker There are Negro bookkeepers and accountants, clerks and copyists, commercial travellers, merchants, salesmen, stee nographers, and telegraph operators Negroes are in every manual trade. An the curious thing of all is that in what ever line a Negro man is there is also a Negro woman except as boiler makers and trades where a preponderous of muscle is required. Lest You Forget. There was once upon a time an injustice done to the Negroes of the state of Kansas, aspecially Kansas City, Kansas. It was something formulated by many and fostered and carried through by a few. Lest we forget, we jog your easy forget fu isouls. Enough said. The key to power. Success in life is a delicate and difficult ting to define. To many-rightly or wrongly it is synonymous with the accumulation of wealth, the standard of achievement and the end of all ambition worthy of human endeavor. But whatever may be our delineation of this subtle and somewhat fickle goddess, the possession of a substantial bank account is, for most persons-for all, in fact, who are not degenerates a most laudable object of ambition. It is veritably the key to power-not alone through what it buys, but through what it does-unlocking those secret sources of strength that transform the delinquent into the alert, the vacillation into the confident kindling the embers of hope and giving the race to the slow, the battle to the weak.—Business Men's Magazine Publication Notice In the District Court of Wyandotte County kansas.

By order of Committee. O. J. PETERSON. J. W. RADFORD. Chairman. Secretary. Old-Time Controversies. Old-time controversies were often vigorous in language. In a controversy with Milton concerning the divine right of kings Salmasius called his opponent a puny piece of a man, a homunculus, a dwarf not having a human figure, a bloodless being, a creature of skin and bones, a contemptible pedagogue fit only to flog boys, a rhinoceros, a hangdog looking fellow. The great English poet not only answered in kind, but entered into an extensive correspondence with people in Holland to obtain petty gossip and scandalous anecdotes concerning his opponent. Costlier than Champagne. Although champagne is called the "wealthy water," there are few hotels in the country where one can pay more than $4 a quart for it, while, on the other hand, there are hundreds of places where Burgundy is sold as high as $55 a quart. At one hotel the menu advertises a special brand of this fine wine for $25 a bottle. There are any number of Rhine wines which cost above $8, and there is a big demand for them. Champagne does not improve with age as the other wines do and this probably accounts for the difference. Telephone Bell W. 32. W. B. R FUNERAL and Embalmer.

Reasons for lateness were not much varied. At the top of the page one would write "Train delayed," or "Omnibus horse died," as the case might be, and the rest fell into the habit of making ditto marks and letting it go at that. But not long ago one man had a new excuse. He wrote with pride: "Wife had twins." The second slow person that morning was in a great hurry, and did not notice the innovation, but made his customary ditto marks, and the rest of the men on that page followed suit. The excuse book was abolished. Example of the Postage Stamp Example of the Postage Stamp. The late Judge Andrew Wylie, of Virginia, had a happy gift of illustration. The judge cast in 1860 the only vote for Lincoln that was given in Alexandria, Va. In an address on Lincoln he once illustrated in an odd way the power of perseverance. "Lincoln persevered," he said, "and it is only those who persevere, they who concentrate their energies, who succeed. Don't give three years to journalism and then, discouraged, try the law awhile. Don't learn the grocery business and in a little while take up placer mining or plumbing. Consider, rather, the postage stamp, whose useful depends on its ability to stick to one thing until it gets there." Think What a Family Then! "Well," said the first policyholder, throwing aside his paper, "there is at least one thing we can be thankful for concerning our Mutual friend, Mr. McCurdy." "What's that?" inquired the second policyholder. 530 MINNESOTA AVE. 852 FREEMAN AVE. Telephone Home aymond DIRECTOR of Service, Fine Cam s, at all Hours. Enameled Ambulance wounded reasonable.

The old sailor belongs alike to the navy and to the merchant service, for he serves in both, and it would be difficult to say in which of the two his adventures were the most thrilling. His records include three shipwrecks, the battle of Navarino, in which he won mention in orders, the blockade of Algiers, one capture by brigands, followed by himself and his companions seizing the Spanish ship which captured the coastair which had captured them.

Duchess d'Uzes pronounces Boni a bad firt—which rhymes appropriately with squirt. China is getting civilized fast. It is already beginning to pick quarrels with other nations. Korea asks a joint protectorate of the great powers. This proves that he needs a conservator. The Holy Land is to be lighted by electric as well as Israelites, under acession from the Sultan. Alice Boosevelt is said to have twenty-seven hats, but we'll bet she will insist upon having a new one foraster. Still, as a concrete and impressive warning to over-capitalized American women Count Boni may serve a useful purpose. There is a tariff war in the Balkans, a great improvement, at all events, on the other kind of war that section is famous for. It will astonish everybody to learn from a Philadelphia paper, that "Philadelphia is the most religious city on this continent." The Nile-Red Sea railroad is open, and we may expect to get our gum tible and bedouin bugs at a more reasonable figure.

In spite of the alarmists, it is worth membering that no monopoly has ever succeeded yet in cornering thesible supply of ocean.

Georgie—"Mamma, I can spell Tuesday, even if I've never been at school." Determination "I believe that in an election the best man should win," said Senator Sorghum. "That is a proper and patriotic sentiment." "Yes, sir. And I have my own ideas about who the best man is, and I'm going to see that he does win, no matter how many votes are cast against him."—Washington Star Biff. "No, it's my treat," insisted Nuritch, "I kin afford it better'n you fellers kin I guess; you don't know how much I'm worth, do you?" "Well, no," replied the quiet stranger, "I don't know your exact weight, nor do I know the current market price of pork." COULD SPELL Georgie—"Mamma, I can spell Tuesday, school." Mamma = "Spell it, dear." George = "Why, just two 2's and a 'd'." Evidence of Refinement Mrs. Nuritch—Mr. Nuritch is so particular, so refined in his tastes, don't you know. For instance, he has his coffee imported direct and no one else in his country gets any just like it. Mrs. McCall—Indeed? I suppose he drinks a great deal of it Tenants of Her Heart Tess—I thought you said you loved Jim from the bottom of your heart. Jess—So I did. Tess—And yet you keep on flirting with Tom and Dick. How can you, if you really love Jim from the bottom of your heart? Jess—Well, there’s still room at the top, you know. Rustic Folly. "You'd never think Kjones was from the country, would you? His manner is perfect and his dress fashionable." "Yes, but he gave himself away on the street car to-day." "How?" "Got up and gave his seat to a woman." - Cleveland Leader. Lucky. Miss Packer—I asked papa what the wild waves were saying, and he said it sounded to him like swosh, swosh, swosh. He has no more poetry in his make-up than a stone wall. Mrs. Packer—That's a lucky thing for us, dear. If he had much of it he couldn't afford to keep us at a place like this. Enough Said "Oh, yes, indeed," said Mrs. Uppish, who had once been a neighbor of Mrs. Pepprey, "we're living in a much better neighborhood now." "So are we," replied Mrs. Pepprey. "Oh, have you moved, too?" "No, we're still living in the street you moved away from." Cause of Suspicion. "Is there any question about the social position of the Dollartons?" "There was none until recently," answered Miss Cayenne. "It has been discovered that the society paper Town Whoppers printed some very complimentary paragraphs about them." More Like It "My!" exclaimed Mrs. Newbride at breakfast in the hotel dining room, "what a tiny little egg they've given you! Isn't it cute?" "Well," replied Mr. Newbride, after breaking it, "I wouldn't call it cute; you might say 'chic,' though." His Own Fault. "Oh! yes. Cholly is a harmless sort of fellow. The only thing about him is that he has brain trouble." "Nonsense! He hasn't any brain at all." "I know; that's the trouble." Too Sharp for the Dealer.

"Oh, Mr. Fleecem," sobbed the applicant, "in his letters he called me tooys twice and once he called me honey bunch." "The case is as good as won," said the attorney, adroitly perfuming the epistles—Indianapolis Star. Evidence Lacking. "What makes you seem so incredulous when I speak of that man's enormous accumulation of wealth?" "Well," answered Mr. Cumrox, "it may be there. But I haven't heard of his being before a grand jury or an investigating committee."—Washington Star. SPELL IT. tuesday, even if I've never been at a 'd.'" The Usual Shrinkage. "You remember that rich aunt from whom I expected a handsome fortune?" "Yes." "Well, she left all her money to found a home for Angora cats." "You must have been badly disappointed." "Not at all. It appears that there was only $200 of it." Voting More Important "Have you ever made any effort to bring your colleagues to your way of thinking?" "No." answered Senator Sorghum, "I don't care anything about their way of thinking. What I want is to bring them to my way of thinking." Not to Blame "Why are you here, my poor man?" asked the prison visitor. "Through no fault of mine, sir," replied the convict. "No?" "No, I ain't had a single chance to break out." She Knew How to Get It. Belle—Wouldn't you like to have real golden hair. Maud—Oh, I'm just dying for it! Mr. Oldboy—"Funny thing, but the prettiest women." Mrs. O.—"Oh, you flatterer!" Not His Doing. "He has severed his connection with your firm, I'm told." "I think not." "No?" "No; I believe his connection with our firm has been severed." The Joke Was on Livorsky. "I see that the Russian insurgents murdered Gen. Livorsky by mistake for Gen. Prosorovsky." "No doubt Gen. Prosorovsky will enjoy this if he has any sense of humor." Such a Dear Girl. "Come now," said her father, after she has kissed him effusively two or three times, "what is it you want! Out with it!" "I don't want anything," replied the dear girl. "I want to give you something." "Indeed? What is it?" "A son-in-law. Jack asked me to speak to you about it." A Veiled Boast. "What do you think? Young Softed, who is a laughing stock among the girls, says he can marry to-morrow any woman he pleases." "That's right." "You don't believe such egregious vanity as that, do you?" "It's the truth. You see, he doesn't please any." Thrown Down Patience—Just as he was about to propose I took the down pillow and threw it at my feet for him to kneel on. Patrice—That was a bad break. "How so?" "Why, it looked as if you were throwing him down." The Burglar's Grasp. "Did it ever strike you that a burglar, of all men, is the most sensitive to the fitness of things?" "Can't say it ever did. How do you make it out?" "He always throws light on his shady transactions with a dark lantern." The Greatest of Them "Did I understand you to say he was a 'hero worshiper'?" "That's what I said. Why?" "Why, the man's an actor and the most conceited——" "Well, he's the hero in the melodrama his company's playing just now." An Inference. Aunt Hetty—Does Fanny say anything about her husband in that letter? Aunt Sally—No. Doesn't mention him once. Aunt Hetty—Do tell! They must be getting along better than they used to. Balm to the Female "It must be awful," said the sympathetic gray mare, "to have all your teeth knocked out." "Well." replied the bay mare, who had met with the accident, "it has its advantages. Nobody can tell my age now, you see." Envy. Mr. Billus—No dinner ready? What on earth is the matter with you, anyhow? Mrs. Billus—Oh, John! Mrs. Binks, who lives next door, has the loveliest new set of furs I ever saw and I have no appetite! Guilty of One Kick Landlady—I wish you were as uncomplaining as Mr. Jones. Boarder—Well, I heard him say the other day that if there were as many hairs in his mattress as he finds in the butter he would be able to sleep a little better. MERANG. the biggest fools always seem to marry Explained. Explained. Miss Ascurn—What does "Hie jacet" mean on these old tombstones? Mr. McBluff—Why-er—that's an abbreviation for "hickory jacket"—that is to say, "hickory coffin." That's the kind they used in old times, see? Tco Expensive to Use "I see that apples are again cordially recommended as a sure cure for the liquor habit." "Pity they couldn't have made it prunes. They are so much cheaper." THE NEWS OF KANSAS "I'll File It When I Get Ready," Says Attorney General Coleman. TOPEKA.—C. C. Coleman, attorney general, is working upon the suit that he will bring against Frank E. Grimes formerly he state treasurer, to compel the return to the state treasury of that portion of the $68,000 shortage which is charged up against his administration by the Morris report. The suit which was brought against T. T. Kelly, the present state treasurer, a few weeks ago, is for the return of a little more than $10,000. Mr. Coleman was asked when the Grimes suit would be filed. "When I get ready to file it," was the response. "The suit embraces a great many items and it will require a good deal of time to get it ready." Mr. Coleman would make no suggestion as to when he would "be ready" to file the suit. A DUSTSTORM IN KANSAS For Three Days a High Wind Has Prevailed in the State. WICHITA, KAS.—For three days a high wind, varying in velocity from thirty to forty miles an hour, has swept this section of Kansas. The air is filled with dust, giving the sky a leaden hue.

TOPEKA—The old scare that the titles to thousands of acres of school land in Western Kansas, sold by the state, were defective on account of a certain irregularity has started the rounds again. The claim is made that the state has no right to sell land at less than $3 an acre because the people never voted on it, as provided by the constitution. HOPKIN DECLARES HIMSELF.

FLORENCE, KAS. — George Fitts, of Robinson, Ill., was caught between the bumpers of a freight in the yards here and his right foot was mashed. IS NOW IN SOLDIERS' HOME. Martin Jabbers, Who Poisoned His Son, Is Out of Prison. LEAVENWORTH, KAS. — Martin Jabbers, one of the oldest prisoners in the state prison at Lansing has been released under a cummutation of sentence, and is now an inmate of the Soldiers' home. Jabbers has been in the prison longer than any other prisoner and has an exceptionally good record. He entered the prison in 1878, when he was 46 years of age. He expressed great surprise at the appearance of the outside of the prison, for when he entered it twenty-eight years ago the big shade trees that now adorn the lawn were but mere saplings. In all his years of imprisonment Martin Jabbers, like all the other prisoners, has never lost hope, and now that his hope has been realized it makes the tiny flames burn all the brighter in the hearts of the other inmates who are sentenced for life. Martin Jabbers was sent up from Johnson county for poisoning his son, and his relatives bitterly fought against his release.

Kansas Rale Case Postponed TOPEKA.—The hearing on the petition of the Southwestern Kansas Hardware and Implement Dealers' association in connection with freight rates on hardware and implements, has been postponed for one month, to March 27. A telegram was received by the members of the railway railroad commission, saying that on account of the death of the wife of D. W. Blaine, the president of the association, he would be unable to attend the hearing at this time.

The attorneys for the railroads did not object to the continuance.

Co.) Among the papers found by the law- yers of John Vereken, an old man who Tecently died, was the following: Iam about to write down things at which most men will scoff, but they are true, and I pray God that no ene will have to go through what I have endured for thirty years. This 4s the story of my life. I, John Vereken, was born in the year 1808, in Yorkshire. My father, Squire Vereken, was a kind and in- dulgent man, but I noticed that at in- tervals, a moroseness came over him and lasted for two or three days. I often wondered at these fits of me!- ancholy,-but I dared not ask my father, and he vouchsafed no explana- tion. My mother I never knew. She died when I was born. Would to God that I, too, had followed her. I passed the usual uneventful life of the country squire’s son until I was twenty years old, and then, as is only human, I fell in love. The ob- Ject of my affections was the daugh- ter of our neighbor, Squire Derrick. Luey Derrick was beautiful and I loved her devotedly. My love was returned and the hap- piest moment of my life was when Lucy Derrick promised to become my wife. Her father offered no objection to our union, and we set the wedding day for my twenty-first birthday. it was just a month before our wedding day. Lucy had gone to Lon- don to procure that finery with which girls love to deck themselves, and her kisses were still warm on my lips. It was a fine autumn day, the early morning frosty, but the noonday as warm as summer. Everything seemed to breathe peace and love. I was so filled with the pleasure of living that as soon as Lucy was safely off, I Bot _my boet horse and galloped sev. eral miles across the country. I stop- ped for dinner with a friend and did not start home until late. The weather had changed and it was cold and rainy. A heavy wind was rising. It would be a fearful night and I was glad when I got to the warmth of the drawing-room fire. I was sitting there, iistening to the moaning of the wind and the pat- ter of the raindrops, and thinking of Lucy, when a servant entered the oom and said my father wanted to See me. He had taken suddenly il) and was in his bedroom, I arose hastily and started for the “room, for this was the first intimation -I had had of his illness. Just as I opened the door, I heard a heavy booming sound like some immense church bell tolling for a funeral. The sound was so uncanny that I started and gave a quick glance around me. My eyes fell upon my father’s features and I never saw such a change in any one as had taken place in his face. In place of the usual calm expression, his face was so distorted that I could scarcely recognize him. His er-s were wide open and staring; his tongue lolled out like a dog’s on a hot day, and he frothed at the mouth. There was such an expression of ut- L fey oy 1 loved e ter horror on his features that pen ean not begin to describe it. I hastily ran to his side and forced some brandy through his clenched teeth. This seemed to revive him somewhat and he motioned me to open the drawer of his secretary, I did so and found a paper addressed to myself. He glanced at it and made a feeble effort to nod his head. The next moment, the froth again ran from his mouth and his whole body shook’ with convulsions. He half rose from the bed, gasped and fell back. My father was dead, and with that Porrible expression still upon his face. The paver was still in my hands ' and, mechanically, I unfolded it. This is what I read. “To my son, John Vereken:—I ad- dress these words to you, as it were, from the grave, and I trust that you will forgive my great sin. There is a curse in our family and I, poor, weak fool, have transmitted it to you. You no doubt, heard the sound of the bell when I died. I will tell you the story of it “Your great grandfather—my grana- father—was of a generous but hasty nature. He was quick to strike, and as quick to repent of the blow. His greatest friend was Richard Bassman. pare ENG). S\) i | A Via 4 Me | BAZ a ta <a een ee The bell had tolled twice for me whose family died with him. My grandfather laved Richard as a brother. They were always together But one day they quarreled and Rich- ard Bassman was shot by my grand- father. He died instantly. My grand- father was so struck with horror at the deed that he tried to kill himself, but friends prevented the act. Rich. ard Bassman was buried the next day and as the body was being carried to the grave, the bell in the church toll- ed out his years. It has tolled twelve times, and the sexton pulled the rope for the thirteenth stroke. The bell gave forth a booming sound and breaking loose from its fastenings, fell to the ground. My grandfather had been deeply affected by the tolling of the bell. At each stroke he was seen to shudder. Then came that fatal thirteenth stroke. His face grew livid end such an expression of unutter- able horror came over it that every- one who saw him shuddered. His great form swayed and he fell to the ground dead. “The curse is in the family, trans- mitted from father to son. We must hear that terrible noise thirteen times —sometimes closely connected—some- times at intervals of years. At the thirteenth stroke, comes death. When I hear it the last time, you shall hear it first, and the curse will be upon you. “My son, it is my earnest plea that you let our accursed race die with you. My father implored me never to marry and I resolved to follow his request, but I met the woman I loved and I fell. Will you be stronger than 1? Already the bell tolled twelve times and I feel that my end is near, My son, forgive me and heed my admont- tion. Do not transmit this curse to another, for it will cause your loved ones untold misery.” The note fell from my hands. 1 arose and gazed fearfully Into that dead face. The eyes were still open and they seemed to be boring me through with their horrible glare. | trled to close them but in vain. ‘Then a great fear came upon me—there alone with the dead. Outside the winds were wailing as if a thousand funerals were passing, and there came again that horrible mufiled sound. The bell had tolled twice for me already. A panic selzed me. 1 dared not look at the face of my father. I rushed from the room out into the darkness and the storm, Three times did I hear the bell through that night. When the dawn finally broke in the east, my mind was fully resolved. I would tell Lucy all and then leave her forever. I went into the house. The ser- vants gazed at me in fear—and no wonder. As I passed a mirror, I caught a glimpse of myself. Instead of a fresh, happy young face, I saw that of an aged man. My hair was snow white. f We buried my father, and as I look- ed for the last time on that face so drawn by*suffering, I forgave him his great sin. I was accursed and doomed to a life of misery, but this men had suffered more ‘than I—for he had the knowledge that he had in flicted tke curse upon a loved one. He was dead. He had fallen for ‘the sake of love. God would judge him rightly. It is only human to love and for our loves we will risk much. The next day I told Lucy all. 1 never saw her again for I knew that should I look upon her dear face, my ‘resolution would vanish and 1 would sin as my father had done before me. She died six months later—of a bro- ken heart. This is my story. Thirty years have passed since that fearful night when I looked upon the dead face of my father and read the paper that sealed my doom. Iam an old man. I have heard the bell twelve times and I feel that my end is near. I have suffered much, but as I look back upon the life, already spent, I am glad that I kept my vow. Many a time have I been in communication with Lucy, and I know that she waits for me, and——” (Here the MSS. suddenly breaks off. The body was found by the table, sitting in a chair, as in life.

Faithful Aunt Chloe Stern Guardian of Portal. ee ee A number of young society girls of Washington had assembled at the home of a friend to receive New Year's culls. Aunt Chloe, the house- hold servant, was pressed into service as waitress, The hostess had instructed her, while she was tying on her big white apron, that she should present the trap for the gentlemen's cards, and while they were taking off their over- coats to bring the cards to her. At the first ring of the bell all of the girls were in a flutter, some even peering over the balustrade. After a slight commotion the front door shut and all was quiet. They waited some time, then Miss Mamie went. to the back stairs and called, “Chloe, what's the matter?” “Matta nuf, Miss Mamie. Dey were foah gentlemans trying to git in on free (three) tickets, and I tole ‘em, ‘No, sab. Youse don't cum dat trick on dis house,’ so dey all tote off home.” In the evening the gentlemen called again, It seems that one of the four had run out of cards, and no amount of persuasion would induce the negro servant to let them in. A Diplomat. indeed. _1 wonder how it seems to have written so many books that you can't remember the number?” sighed a pret- ty girl, a youthful literary aspirant, after meeting John Burroughs, the nat- uralist, at the Pen and Brush club re- ception a few days ago. ‘The gray-bearded sage of Slabsides had just remarked that he conldn’t al ways remember how many books he was the author of, and had told this story: “I was dining with a lady recently, and when I made that remark, she spoke up, saying: “Oh, I know. You have written dust thirteen, for I have them all here in my library.’ ““Did I write all those books? 1 said. ‘Why, it doesn’t seem possi- ble.” “But you see my work has been my play, and it has all been done so grad- ually that I can scarcely realize how many there are. There will be four- teen in all when the one on which 1 am now working is finished in June. But, then,” he continued, comforting- iy, “when you have worked forty years as I have, you will have something to show for your labors.’—New York Sun. More Work for Wilson. A servant girl in the household of a Pottsville, Pa, family was slicing potatoes for dinner the other day, when she found one that was particu- larly watery. She was about to throw it away when the knife struck something hard. She cut it out and showed it to her mistress. It proved to be a pearl, which jewelers value at $40. Now, then, here is an oppor- tunity for Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. Let him take up immediate- ly the investigation and propagation of the pearl-bearing potato. There is not a constituent of any congressman but would like to have sample and ex- perimental packages of . that vege. table. The seed of a potato that grows pearls would be much more highly appreciated than several pack- ages of peas good only for a cheap porridge—Savannah News, No Words Wasted in That Family. Few men are better known around New London, Conn., than Capt. Tom Burns of the steamer Orient, who has a rich fund of reminiscences of his fishing days, and delights in telling the following: An old Sound fisherman and his son were equally noted for their taciturn. ity, They were bringing their little sloop into anchorage one night, the boy standing on the bow and the father at the tiller, when this conver. sation took place: “Son, trow de ank.” “Ain't no tring on it.” “Tring or no tring, trow de ank.” Helping Out. With an exclamation of delight the hardened tourist rushed out on the baggage platform and started to smash his trunk with an ax, “Hold on!” shouted the baggage man. “Are you crazy?” “Not at all,” replied the hardened tourist as he continued to smash. “I read that baggagemen were overwork- ed at this season, so I thought I would smash my own trunk and save yeu the trouble.” NEW FOOD LAY Diamonds Worth $0,000.

To Improve Poultry. ‘The government maintains 392 egs- distributing stations in Ireland to bet- ter the poultry of that island. Over 3,000 meetings have been held this year to promote Irish poultry inter- ests. 1, People now demand the right to know exactly what they eat. ‘To be told by maker or retailer that the food is “pure” is not satisfactory. Candy may contain “pure” white ‘clay or “pure” dyes and yet be very harmful, Syrups may contain “pure” glucose and yet be quite digestible and 'even beneficial. Tomato catsup may contain a sma!l amount of salicylic or "boracic acid as a necessary preserva- tive, which may agree with one and be harmful to another, ‘Wheat flour may contain a portion of com flour and really be improved. Olive oil may be made of cotton seed oil. Butter may contain beef suet and yet be nutritious, ‘The person who buys and eats must ‘protect himself and family, and he has ‘@ right to, and now demands, a law under which he can make intelligent under which be can make intelligent selection of food. Many pure food bills have been in- troduced and some passed by State leg- islatures; many have been offered to Congress, but all thus far seem objec- tionable. It has seemed difficult for politicians w formulate a satisfactory bill that would protect the common people and yet avoid harm to honest makers and Prevent endless trouble to retailers. No gov't commission or officer has the right to fix “food standards,” to define what the people shall and shall not eat, for what agrees with one may not agree with another, and such act would deprive the common citizen of his personal liberty. The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., perhaps the largest makers of prepared foods in the world, have naturally a close knowledge of the needs of the people and the details of the business of the purveyors (the re- tail grocer), and, guided by this experi- ence have prepared a bill for submis- sion to Congress which is intended to accomplish the desired ends, and inas- much as a citizen of the U. S. has a right to food protection even when he enters another State, it is deemed Proper that the gov't take control of this matter and provide a national law to govern all the states. A copy of the bill is herewith reproduced. Sec. 1 governs the maker whether the food is put up in small packages sealed, or in barrels, boxes or other- wise, Sec. 2 governs the retailer who may open a barrel and sell the food in small quantities. When he puts the goods into a paper bag he must also inclose a printed copy of the statement of the maker which was affixed to the original pkg., and inasmuch as the retailer cannot undertake to guarantee the statement of ingredients he must publish the statement of the makers and add his own name and address as @ guarantee of his selling the food as it {s represented to him, which relieves the retailer of responsibility of the truth of the statement and throws it upon the maker, where it properly be- longs. ‘The remaining sections explain them. selves, The Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., for ex: ample, have from the beginning of its existence printed on the outside of each and every pkg. of Postum and Grape- Nuts food a truthful and exact state- ment of what the contents were made of in order that the consumer might know precisely what he or she was eating. A person desiring to buy, for instance, strictly pure fruit jelly and willing to pay the price has a right to expect not only an equivalent for the cost, but a further right to a certainty as to what he eats. Or he may be will- ing to buy at less cost a Jelly made part of fruit juices, sugar and a por- tion of glucose. But he must be sup- plied_with truthful information of the ingredients and be permitted to use his personal liberty to select his own food accurately, The people have allowed the slow murder of infants and adults by tricky makers of food, drink and drugs to £0 ‘on about long enough, Duty to oneself, family and nation demands that every man and woman join in an organized Movement to clear our people from this blight. Yon may not be able togo personally to Washington to impress your Congressmen, but you can, in a most effective way tell him by letter how you desire him to represent you. Remember the Congressman is in Congress to represent the people from his district and if a goodly number of citizens express their views to him, he Secures a very sure guide to duty. Re- member also that the safety of the People is assured by insisting that the will of the people be carried out, and not the machinations of the few for Selfish interests. This pure food legislation ts a pure movement of the people for publie pro- tection. It will be opposed only by those who fatten their pockets by de- ceiving and injuring the people. There- fore, if your Representative in Con. gress evades his patriotic duty hold him to strict accountability, and if necessary demand equitable and hon- est service. This is a very different condition than when a faction demands class legislation of the Congressman. Several years ago the butter interests of the country demanded legislation to “Kill the oleomargarine industry and by power of organization forced class leg- {slation really unworthy of a free neo. ple. Work people wanted beef suet butter because it was cheap and better than muck unclean milk butter, but the dairy interests organized and forced the legislation.

Manufacturers some- times try to force measures in their own interests, but contrary to the in- terests of the people and the labor trust is always active to push through bills drafted in the interest of that trust but directly contrary to the in- terests of the people as a whole. Wit- ness the antiinjunetion bill by which labor unions seek to tie the hands of our courts and prevent the issue of any order to restrain the members of that trust from attacking men or de- stroying property.

Each “farmer” has a few bushes on which he raises enough for his own use and a little extra to sell to the travelling buyers who go from one farm to an- other collecting the raw berries in very small quantities. Finally a cara- yan is formed which transports the precious product to Aden, a journey taking two or three weeks. From Aden the coffee is exported mostly to France and America, where it is worth almost its weight in gold. Genuine Mocha will not be easily attainable or cheap until the Arabs adopt modern methods of cultivation and build rail- roads frem the plantations to Aden, the seaport. Apropos of this, a con- temporary thinks it a miracle that statistics show that during the last six years the grocers of this country have sold 3,500,000 pounds of “pure Mocha and Java coffee,” while there have been but 137,000 younds im- ported during the same period. Makes Steel for World. United States makes more than one- third of the world’s entire production of steel. G. P. Blackston, iron and steel expert, in his “Story of the Steel Industry,” running serially in the Techinical World Magazine, says: “The United States makes more than one-third of the world’s produe- tion of steel—tifteen millions out of a total of thirty-six and one-half mil- lions of tons; it is the richest and most prosperous among the nations. The two statements are compliment- ary. Germany comes second, with an annual produetion of 8,000,000 tons; and England third, with 5,000,000 tons, “The 450 steel works scattered throughout the United States repre- sent a total investment of over $442, 000,000, and pay $13,000,000 annually in Wages.

My system got into a state of general disorder and it was difficult for me to apply myself to school work with any de gree of satisfaction. I tried different medicines and food preparations but did not seem able to correct the dif- ficulty. “Then my attention was called to Grape-Nuts food and I sampled it. I had to do something, so I just buck- led down to a rigid observance of the directions on the package, and in Jess than’ no time began to feel better. In a few weeks my strength was re- stored, my weight had increased, I had a clearer head and felt better in every particular. My work was sim- Ply snort to what it was formerly. “My sister's health was badly run dowu aud she had become so nervous that she could not attend to her music. She went on Grape-Nuts and had the same remarkable experience that I had. Then my brother, Frank, who is in the postoffice department at Washington city and had been try- ing to do brain work on greasy foods, cakes and all that, joined the Grape- Nuts army. I showed him what it was and could do and from a broken- down condition he has developed into @ hearty and efficient man, “Besides these I could give account of numbers of my fellow-students who have made visible improvement men- tally and physically by the use of this food.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich, There's a reason.

Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All Over the Body—Skin Cracked and Bleeding—Cured by Cuticura. “I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty-five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint- ment and two bottles of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely cured, and I think permanently, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made iis appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the center a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of a white silvery ‘appearance and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oll to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That scaly crust would form again in twenty-four hours, It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. It I let the scales remain too long with- out removing by bath or otherwise, the skin would crack and bleed, I suffered intense itching, worse at nights after getting warm in bed, or blood warm by exefcise, when it would be almost unbearable.

The fonction strengthening and tissue building plan of treating chronic, linger- ing and obstinate eases of disease as pure sued by Dr. Pleree, is following after Nature's plan of restoring health, He uses natural remedies, that is extracts from native medicinal roots, prepared by processes wrought out. by the expenditure of much time and money. without the use of aleobol, and by skiliful combination in just the right proportions, Used as ‘ingredients of Dr. Plerce’s Golden Medical Discovery, Black Cherry- bark, Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Bloodroot and Stoné root, specially exert their influence in cases of ‘lung, bronehial and throat troubles, and this "Discov ERY” is, therefore, a sovereign remedy for bronchitis, laryngitis, chronic coughs, eatarrh and Kindred aliments. ‘The above native roots also have the strongest possible endorsement from the leading medical writers, of all the several schools of practice, for the cure not only of the diseases named above but also for indigestion, torpor of liver, or bilious- hess, obstinate constipation, kidney and bladder troubles and catarrh, no matter where located. You don't have to take Dr. Pierce's say-so alone as to this; what he claims for his "Discovery" is backed up by the Writings of the most eminent men in the medical profession, A reauest by postal card or letter, addressed to Dr. R.

Combination That Is Frequently Found Desirable. A combination of a cellar with an icehouse may be desirable, the cellar being used for cold storage, The plan shown is for a building 14 feet by 16 feet and 10 feet high, with a 10-inch wall which is filled with sawdust. ‘When packing the ice place it with- in 4 inches ofythe lining of the inner wall and fill the open space with saw- dust. No part of the icehouse is under ground. The cellar is beneath the icehouse and the entrance to it is on the outside. The cellar is 6 feet by 10 feet and 6% feet high, inside meas- urement, can of course be made any desired size. The top of it is in the form of a half circle or arch, the mié- dle of which extends 2 feet up into the icehouse. The walls are of brick, plastered over with cement. The side walls are 8 inches; those of the arch, 4 inches plastered outside and inside with cement. When building the arch, a wooden support should be used, which is made of six-inch fene- ing supported by a 2 by 4inch on each end. Two of these supports are Sh dealt Non Juco metre as hae te sen darn coy “>, > a e900 Une ae coun § Ground Plan, sequired placed about 2 feet from each end of the cellar and are covered with 6-inch fencing laid lengthwise of the cellar. All of these wooden strue- tures are removed after the brick arch is made, A drain tile extends around the out- side of the cellar and enters the one which drains the cellar. The outside cellar door is raised and lowered by a weight and pulley. Se Cow Stable, I wish to build a stone stable for thirty cattle, the walls to be about 8 feet high, stalls are to be double al- lowing 6 feet clear for the two ani- mals. There are to be two rows of stalls and a pathway behind each row of about 3 feet wide and the passage between the rows 5 feet wide. Over- head there is to be a loft 8 feet high and a hip roof, What material will be required? The building will require to be 35 feet x 50 feet to give 4-foot passage behind animals, and a seven-foot pas- sage between rows of stalls with a eross passage from one side to the other. The superstructure should be 12 feet high, as 6 or 8 feet is very low for a mow. Allow two doors in one end for cows to enter and for re- moving manure; one door in the other end at the center, Put in plenty of windows, say four in each side and two in each end, each of them with six lights (10 in. x 16 in). The doors require to be 4 feet wide. The walls will take 25 cords of stone, 125 bushels of jime and 15 yards sand. The floor will take 16 yards gravel; 7 yards clean coarse, sharp sand and 25 barrels Portland cement. Mix the concrete in the proportion of one of cement to ten of gravel with @ top dressing of one part cement and two parts sand. The concrete should be 3 inches thick and top dressing 1 inch, avine a Wate Gina. I wish to conduct water in an inch pipe a distance of about 600 feet. There is a creek which crosses be- tween the supply end and the lower end, and the pipe would require to be brought under it, as it is on a level, 50 feet below the outlet of the pipe. How much higher would the upper end of the pipe have to be than the lower end to insure a free flow of water? Would six feet be enongh? The supply at the upper end is a small creek with a good fall and by lengthening the pipe in that direction I could obtain more fall. Should there be a tap in the lower bend of the pipe for flushing? ‘The correspondent here suggests a head of six feet for the flow of water from the pipe from A to B, With a head of six feet an inch pipe 600 feet long, the amount of flow would be about 200 gallons per hour, provided the pipe is kept clean and free of ob- struction. If this amount is sufficient for the purpose to which the water is to be used, then it would not be neces- sary to run the pipe any further in or- der to secure a higher head. The cor- respondent must decide that matter for himself. It would be an improve- ment to place a tap, as suggested, at the lowest point in the pipe in order to be able to flush it out if necessary. * Ventilation of Small Barn. A barn 12 feet by 12 feet is lined inside and outside, the space between filled with dry ashes. There is a great deal of moisture, except in a stall in the corner, and water drips from the ceiling. A ventilator is built from the middle of the barn, rising to about four feet above the roof. There is also a hole 14 inches by 14 inches in the wall with a piece of cheese cloth covering it to give air without draft. The difficulty here seems to be due to defective ventilation. The ‘oul air outlet is situated between the inlet for fresh air and the stall. The fou! air, which contains the moisture of which the correspondent romplains, Gypsy Evangelist, Gypsy Smith, English evangelist, ®ho is coming to America to conduct meetings, is a real gypsy, aid was sern in one of their camps. §._— A NEW DEPARTURE IN SPEED.

Hheumatism is a disease of the blood, caused by the failure of the body to cast off certain poisons. External applica- tions are of use only in securing temspo- rary relief from pain—the cure for rheumatism lies in purifying aud en- riching the blood. Mrs. Frederick Brown, of 40 Sumpter street, Sandy Hill, N.Y., was a sufferer from ‘inflammatory rheumatism from the time she was sixteen. She says: “It first appeared in my knee joints, then in my hips and waist. It became aregular thing that I would be laid up all winter. ‘The rheumatism affected mostly my hands, hips, feet and shoulders. “My hands were all puffed up and my fect became deformed. I lost my appetite, couldn’t sleep and sometimes I was compelled to cry out, the pain was so intense. “For several winters I was under the doctor's care and while his medicine re- lieved the pain for a little while there seemed no prospect for a permanent cure. Iwas confined to my bed, off and on, for weeks at a time. My limbs swelled dreadfully at times aud I was reduced almost to nothing. “Tn the spring of 1904; upon the ad- vice of a friend, T began to use Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. At that time I wasn’t able to do anything and could barely eat enough to keep alive. I felt a change for the better in about a month. Tbegan to eat heartily avd 1 saffered less pain. Of course I kept on the treatment, using care in my diet, aud in about three months 1 was cured. I am entirely well today and do all my own work.” Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills cured Mrs. Brown by driving the rheumatic poisons out of her blood.

Casey and Lewenstein, the “ole clo’s man,” had a heated discussion as,to the greater number of saints in their different nationalities, says the Western Publisher. It was decided that for every Irish saint Casey would name he could pick a hair from Lew- enstein’s beard, and for every He brew saint, the hair pulling would be reversed, Casey began by naming St. Patrick, and Lewenstein followed with Moses. Then Casey named St. Mich- ael, and Lewwenstein came back with Adam. Casey was a little doubtful of Adam, but named St. Nicholas for his, whereat Lewenstein, making a grab at the Irishman’s whiskers, cried out, “The Twelve Apostles!” Casey, for- seeing defeat except for prompt ac- tion, clutched the Hebrew’s beard in both horny hands and yanking with all his might, yelled, “The Ancient Order of Hibernians!” When the hairs were counted Casey led by at least a hair.

Fred A. Thompson, treasurer of the province of Moro, in the Island of (Mindanao, is at San Francisco, Cal., in the interests of that territory.

They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest / reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many milliéns of bot:les annually to the well informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every puckage They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, oF over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects 03 Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations haye been made, tried and condemned, but there aro individual draggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitato to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name— Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In Rilecas cal the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception. and whenever a dealer pass¢3 off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every- where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return aay imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return oe article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class 0 2, ee willsell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonablep:ices, é a == 5 THE LOS ANGELES LIMITED CINEMATOGRAPH. ‘When the continent threading bratn of the creator of the Union Pacific short line, made it (the line) he prob ably had no idea of the game of the prairie and of the West. The party of eastern newspaper men played this little amusement scheme to a finish. Out of Chicago they rolled, these men with the weight of many “scoops,” “exclusives,” “beats” or what you will, rolled off their shoul- ders and with nothing worse tn the way of vanity than a traveling cap selected according to ugliness. But— once out on the prairie all the native modesty of the born newspaper man was tunneled out of his system or thelr systems by the underground work of the Union Pacific advertising experts. From somewhere in the bowels of the train there hove a strange shape carrying something that looked like a tripod tenderfoot. It was the essential point of the big game of the west. Soon the party stopped. It was miles from nowhere and the sandstone reared their heads up to an unsmiling cloud that seemed & continuation of the desert below. “What is the matter?” was asked by those who had time. Those who did not ha,e time were watching the scenery on the deck. With visions of a wreck made by a band of Indiana rehearsing for Buffalo Bill's Wild ‘West Show, with themselves as the Trehearsees, the travellers gleefully disembarked. After those aboard had taken stock of their dignities, includ- ing Dorrance's (New York Tribune) fur slippers. Hazlett’s (Pittsburg Leader) banking ability, O'Doonell’s (Pittsburg Dispatch) sphynxine air and a few others it was found that all were unhurt but that something was going to happen. Ah! It was the first fatal false step. The game was on. After that it was played at all sunny hours.
