A journalist by the name of Frank A. Munsey, owner of the Argosy Magazine Munsey's Magazine, The Scrap Book and a Home Journal of some small circulation, owns and publishes a paper here, which he calls the Washington Times. This Times was started about 4 years and from its birth has useb every base method of yellow journalism to injure the Negro thinking in this step to cater to the prejudices of the community in which his paper has a large circulation and win in the field of competition over the Washington Evening Star a paper which is a model of American journalism. But it has not been satisfied, even under the eye and personal supervision of Frank A. Muusey, to falsify accounts concerning colored people; hence, it is issues an advertising folder which contain the very falsely significant paragraph: "Washington, the Capitol of the nation has a population of 355,000 which 95,000 are colored and are disregarded in the Times' circulation. What is said below, therefore 'applies wholly to the white population.' Following this paragraph was one dealing with wealth and income which in no wise reckoned with the colored people, and then came the following: "The Times has not only not sought circulation among the colored people, but it has deliberately avoided it and in its news columns has shown emphatically that it is a paper for white people." The above is surely convincing, and we call upon the colored people all over the country to strike from their list of reading mater any and everything with which Frank A. Munsey has anything to do. He is using his organ to degrade you and debase you, and honor and so respect demand that you resent his unjust imputation and contemptible slur and malicious falsehood. His Times is like the politician who never wants office. He always has his hand out for money; and while Frank A. Munsey is declaring he does not want colored people to take his paper, his agents pleads with the colored people to subscribe and his collectors are calling upon them as upon the whites. But the sad part of it is, some of the colored people continue to buy and read this penny sheet, which was conceived in sin and born in iniquity. Strike back at this pernicious influence and crush this serpent's head; unless you prefer to slander and abuse rather than stand where you can and where it is your duty to stand for the right. Touch not and handle not any that comes from Munsey. —Plaindealer. Publication Notice. In the District Court of Wyandotte [County Kansas. Nathaniel Singletary, Plaintiff, vs. No. 20168.

The most unique proposal on record is probably that of a young Englishman to a girl somewhat above him on the social scale. Last summer the two accidentally came together at the same seaside boarding-house. They had previously met as friends, but the young fellow had never presumed upon a closer acquaintanceship. One day, while at the boarding-house, she asked him to join a party who were going for a day's yachting excursion, and he, of course, really consented. While the merriment was at its height the girl accidentally fell into the sea. Immediately perceiving what had happened, her admirer sprang overboard and was successful in reaching her and keeping her. He was an indifferent swimmer, however, and as the night was very dark, both were in danger of drowning before the yacht's boat could reach them. This was evidently what the young fellow feared, and being apparently determined that the girl should, in any case, know of his affection for her, he, in spite of the strangeness of their position, quickly declared his passion. The girl, however, much exhausted and frightened, made no reply, much to the disappointment of the young fellow, who concluded that she was unconscious. Ultimately the two were picked up by the boat and brought safely on board the yacht again, and the party reached home without any further mishap. Next day the girl took the first opportunity of thanking the young fellow in private for saving her life, and judge of his great surprise when she slyly remarked that his proposal at a was somewhat mal apropos. Needless to say the young fellow took fresh hope from this hint, and did not hesitate to propose in the orthodox maner, this time receiving a favorable reply. Not so happy an ending is attached to the story of a proposal made under somewhat similar conditions to the above by a young German, who was a passenger on the ill-fated Elbe, wrecked of Lowestoft in 1895. While on board he conceived a great affection for a certain young lady, but hesitated to speak to her on the matter. When 'he crash came he succeeded in getting a life-buoy for the girl, and by its aid managed to keep her afloat after the ship had foundered. Although it was an extraordinary place and time for him to declare his affection, the young fellow, doubtless with his mind on future possibilities, proposed while both were struggling in the sea, and to his great delight learned that his love was returned. But his joy was quickly turned to grief, for shortly afterward the rough sea separated them, and although he himself was picked up by a boat, he never saw his sweetheart again. It would require more than an average amount of nerve and coolness on the part of any man to propose to a girl when both were in danger of being burnt to death. A particular feature, however, regarding a fireman's wedding which took place in the Midlands a short time ago, was the fact that he proposed to his bride while trying to rescue her from a burning house. The fire occurred during the night at a country residence at which the young lady was employed as housemaid. At the commencement of the confagration no one noticed that she was missing. But when the house was well ablaze the girl suddenly appeared at one of the top windows, having been aroused from her sleep by the smoke. The local brigade not being provided with a firescape, her death seemed almost certain. But her fireman lover quickly darted into the house and at great risk managed to reach her room. But as he did so the stairs behind him collapsed and thus cut off their only apparent means of escape. Doubtless it was the hopelessness of their position and the fear that his love would never be known which led the fireman to propose there and then, an thus surrounded by flames and smoke, the two plighted their troth. Fortunately, a long ladder had in the meantime been found at some neighboring works, and after moments of great excitement the two were rescued just in the nick of time. The rarity of prison proposals makes the following instance of Cupid's strange doing particularly interesting. A short time ago a clever and notorious French swindler named Gorland was sentenced in Paris to a long term of imprisonment. While his trial was still proceeding Borair applied for permission to marry his friend and accomplice, Berthe Dagunean, if she would accept him for a husband. The magistrate thereupon sent for the young woman and laid Golandr's proposal before her. She then confessed that she loved him, and that if would be the happiest day in her life if Golandr would marry her. The result of this unique proposal was that the two were married at the local mayor's office with four policemen as witnesses. A French aeronaut some time ago brought himself into unenviable prominence by taking a girl up in a balloon in order to propose marriage to her. She had often expressed a wish to make a balloon ascent, and accordingly he had little difficulty in persuading her to make a trip with him. Taking advantage of the opportunity thus afforded him, the aeronaut, after reaching a certain height, declared his affection in passionate terms, adding that he refusal to his suit would cause AUG 2. 1907 is Section CALL HERE The senate has passed a resolution instructing the Department of Commerce and Labor to investigate the International Harvester trust. Senator Hansbrough said that this 120 million dollar combination has increased immensely the prices of all kinds of farm machinery, that it is imposing upon retail dealers, buyers and other impossible terms in handling its goods and that it is selling its products cheaper abroad than in the United States, thus giving the farmers in other countries an advantage in competing in the world market with those of the United States. It is aimed to determine whether prices are controlled by the combination, whether there is any competition either among makers or retailers of farm implements and whether the quality of its products is as good as in former years. It was reported a few days ago that the International company is to be reorganized within the next month or two. At the time of the report it was said that fear of an investigation did not influence the reorganization. Some Fish Recipes. Cook the roe in boiling salted water 15 minutes, drain and mash.

Waldorf Astor has become so thoroughly anglicized that he is going to marry an American girl. A clergyman says that bridge whist leads to mental decline. Why doesn't he try poker for a change?

Perhaps boys should be thankful for whippings, as somebody declares, but they seldom are before they are 45. Sweet Spring is now approaching, and Summer with the rose, so poetry's encroaching upon the field of prose. King Edward was "warmly received" in Paris, but not in the same way as when he used to be prince of Wales.

A Minnesota man says he has discovered the cause of the aurora borealis. But what bearing will this have on the price of coal this year? Much to the surprise of everybody, some of the phenomenal ball players added to the leading nines as marvelous discoveries will probably make good. Cheer up, mister! The president of the Dressmakers' National Protective Association says that women's dress will be less expensive this year than ever before.

He says: "The idea of Babylon's vastness and magnificence, to which we have become accustomed, has been practically exploded. Dr. Kodewey told me that the site of the city was larger than that of any other ancient city; but even so, the idea that it could be compared with London and its suburbs, which has been very generally held, is entirely erroneous. In point of fact, it appears that its walls were not more than eight miles in circumference. SHIELDS FOR TROOPS IN WAR. Their Use Urged by a German Milli- tary. Writer. A writer in the Militar-Wochenblatt raises anew the question of the use of portable shields for the protection of infantry in the attack, says the Broad Arrow. He writes approvingly of the Japanese spade work in the offensive, the more so because he mentions incidentally, as a matter regarding which there can be no dispute, that the German authorities have long since advocated the use of artificial cover in the attack, and points out that when the ground was frozen or rocky, and the spade could make no impression upon it, the attacking Japanese infantry not infrequently went forward, carrying with them filled sandbags weighing as much as forty pounds. He remarks that if the undoubtedly brave Japanese soldier found it necessary to load himself with so bulky and burdensome a protection when advancing in the open against an intrenched enemy it would seem far better to equip the infantry with a light, handy shield. Furnished with a handle by which to carry it, a loophole to fire through and some arrangement to prevent its falling down, the infantryman would then find himself, like his gunner comrade, protected by a bullet-proof shield. The writer in the Wochenblatt suggests that on the march the shield should be carried on the back, when going into action on the chest, and when advancing to the attack in the left hand, so as to be at once available for use when lying down to fire, both as head cover and rifle rest. YOUR HAIR SHOULD BE DRAB. That is the Fashionable Color, So an Authority Says. "Deep auburn and the drab shades are the fashionable colors in hair this season," said the woman who makes hair coloring a speciality, as placidly as though she were commenting on the state of the weather or the advance style in dress goods. "One of my customers has to my knowledge worn five different colors or shades on her wavy tresses. Having been blessed with medium brown hair by nature she became a ravishing blonde when the fashion for bleaching first came in. "Next she took to titian red after a trip to the art galleries of Europe. Then she thought she would be more attractive as a brunette, and now her hair is drab. "The last is by far the most popular of all for the reason that is most difficult to obtain, and then it is pretty generally becoming, and it happens that women who are born with this particular color of hair are almost always clever. "How is it done? Well, in case of a woman whose hair is dark a bleach must first be used before the dye is applied. With women whose hair has turned gray it is a still simpler problem. The color lasts a year, while the head can be washed and even salt water bathing does not affect it."—New York Sun.

By Helena Davis. After the holidays quiet reigned once more in the Perkins household, Bricktop and The Twins starting to school in the greatest study-mood after their nice long rest of several weeks. Their teacher, Miss Quick, was in the best of spirits, and the entire school was cheerful and glad to be at work again. Indeed, there were few unruly spirits in Miss Quick's school, for she was what might be termed the ideal teacher, loving her work—and most of all, her boys and girls. A heavy snowstorm was prevailing, having come with the New Year, and staying as if determined to cover everything under a few feet of flakes before going over. At noon recess many of the children who were in the habit of going home for luncheon remained in the schoolhouse, preferring to go without food rather than brave the storm, which towards noon became very severe. But those who carried baskets and boxes of luncheon most generously shared their provender with their luckless comrades, who might have been pretty hungry before time for supper had it not been for the thoughtfulness of Bricktop. Napkins and papers were spread on the tops of desks, and a regular picnic was had, though none had really enough to eat, for about a dozen lunch baskets and buckets had to supply about twice that many hungry children. However, there was enough good will and merriment to fill them up, and not one boy or girl complained about the shortness of the noon allowance, a They took Bettie between them and time when school children are empty to their boots, and when a "square small" is most welcome. Oliver Moore They took Bettie between them and made their way safely home. Bricktop could not be prevailed upon to remain and partake of the picnic dinner spread upon the desks, saying that he would doubtless make such move with the meal that others would have to fight for a morsel of bread; therefore, to avoid any such trouble, he would run home, fill himself with a hot dinner and return with a basket stuffed to the top with goodies. The Twins and any others who might have appetite left after the banquet now being set out. But Lettie and Bettie did not wait for Brick's return, the sight of the petting food proving too much for them to resist. So they enjoyed their portioned share of the picnic spread, being however, that Bricktop's promised basket would not fall amiss. and neither did it. When that young man, red of nose and numb of hands feet, came humbering through the dowrifts, half as high as himself, brought not one basket, but two. The Twins found more than the dared to hope for. As they, with the assistance of several little girl bonds, unloaded the good things Bet- asked her brother how he and man greatest Foe to Physical Beauty. I were asked what was the great- fee to beauty in both man and man. I would say, not errors in diet, back of exercise, not overwork, not not any one of these, but bad habits. If we observe closely faces of the people we meet at K aged to carry such an abundance of food. There were great slices of bread dripping with honey; round, soft, ginger cakes—just a size to fit the mouth, Bricktop declared—sliced cold meat, pickles, graham bread; buttered, and Lettie's favorite cake chocolate layer' Mrs. Perkins had not prepared just for her little daughters, as you must have thought in reading over the contents of the baskets. Bricktop had said: "Momsy, there's about two dozen half-fed kids up there at the school, so put in everything you can find that's eatable; then fill up with the scraps." When Mrs. Perkins wanted to know what Bricktop called "scraps." he replied: "Oh, potato peelings and apple cores." Whereupon Mrs. Perkins laughed at the humor of her big, good-hearted boy. The afternoon wore away, the snow coming heavier and heavier, falling so thickly that it became like a great white veil, shutting everything in. On the streets men could scarcely see half a block ahead of them, and traffic was stopped by the drifts that piled half as high as a horse's head. As 4 o'clock drew near the parents became very uneasy about their children who were at school, and many bundled themselves and started out to meet them on their homeward way. Mrs. Perkins stood in the bay window that looked toward the school-house, watching eagerly for her "three treasures." "I'm not uneasy about them," she kept assuring herself, "for Bricktop is so capable that he'll bring Oliver Moore I made their way safely home. Bettie and Lettie in safety." However though the good lady tried to make herself believe there was no danger of the children becoming lost in the snow, she did not take her eyes off the dark spot she could see through the white vell, and which she knew to be the schoolhouse. Once she thought of going to meet them, but fearing she might miss them, she determined to wait a bit longer, for it was just five minutes after 4 and they could not reach home under seven minutes when the weather was fine. So she knew they must have 10 minutes today at least. While she was waiting and watching the phone bell rang, and she was obliged to answer it. Mr. Perkins was calling her to know whether the children had arrived home safely. When Mrs. Perkins told him they had not come yet, but that they really could not have had time to do since school was dismissed. Mr. Perkins said he had just called up the schoolhouse and was answered by the janitor, who said that, owing to the storm, school had been dismissed 15 minutes before the usual time. This bit of information made Mrs. Perkins very uneasy, and telling her husband that she would start at once to meet the children, she ized by the lined mouth, the drawn brows and other facial disfigurements which accompany bad mental states.

I mean anger, fear, worry, anxiety, irritability, regret, envy, jealousy, lack of trust in oneself and in the Great God—all these are bad mental states; and all these destroy ```markdown ``` olks. said good-by and hung up the receiver. The most anxious mother did not take many minutes to prepare herself for the walk through the worst storm she had ever seen. Indeed, she went out without her overshoes, forgetting them in her fear with her darlings. As she went towards the object she knew to be the schoolhouse—for it stood isolated on a hill—the snow blew into her face with such force that she was almost blinded. More than once she stopped to catch her breath, which had to be taken through her fur muff. Then on she stumbled and waded again. Drifts cut off the regular path, but fearing to go around them lest she might miss the children who would perhaps try to stick to the road (which was to be followed by the telephone and lamp-posts) the struggling woman went through them, her long, heavy skirts impeding her progress. Once she thought she heard a cry, and stopped to listen. Yes, there it was at her left, a child's voice crying out, "Hello, hello." And not for a minute at a time did the voice cease to call "Hello, hello." Mrs. Perkins' heart beat wildly. How much that voice sounded like Lettie's or Bettie's—they had voices alike, and she never could tell one from the other. Surely, thought the anxious mother, one of them was lost. Taking her muff from her mouth, she called out at the top of her trembling voice: "Hello, hello. Don't move, but stand where you are and call to me, so that I may find you." Then she pushed ahead with all her falling strength, calling "Hello" every moment in answer to the child's "Hello," that came so regularly. But just before she reached the little owner of the voice Mrs. Perkins heard another voice calling out behind her. It was a strong, lusty young voice, and cried: "I'm coming Kiddie! Keep up, Kiddie! I'm almost there. Don't stop calling for a minute!" "God bless that voice," whispered Mrs. Perkins, tears filling her eyes, that were already blinded by the snow. "That's my darling boy. He's taken one of the little ones home and is returning for the other. God bless him and be thanked for sending me such a son." In another two minutes Mrs. Perkins had floundered through the deepest drift and had come upon Bettie clinging to a lamppost, her back turned to the storm. At the same moment Bricktop, his face as red as old Santa Ciaus' is pictured to be, came around the end of the drift, which his better judgment had kept him from wading through. In this way he had failed to overtake his mother. As soon as Bricktop and Mrs. Perkins could get their breath for the return they took Bettie between them and made their rway safely home, going round the drifts instead of through them, as poor Mrs. Perkins had done. Not one of them spoke, for the wind was too severe for conversation, but every little while Mrs. Perkins would give Bricktop a glance of pride and love and squeeze the little hand of Bettie that was drawn within her own into the snug muff. Soon they were in the big, cozy sitting-room, warming and smiling in front of the blazing grate fire, Mrs. Perkins sitting on the sofa between Bettie and Lettie, while Bricktop sat on a stool at her feet, telling how he had tried to get both little "Kiddies" home at the same time; but Lettie beginning to cry from the cold and fear she felt, and becoming too exhausted to walk much longer, he had told Bettie to remain by the lamp post till he should return for her, bidding her to call "Hello" every time she counted 15, and to not fail with her signals, for in this way he would have no trouble in finding her. "When he entered the house and found mamma gone," Bricktop went on. "I knew she had started out to meet us. So I thought I might have to make another trip after getting Bettie in safe harbor. You know I couldn't rest a moment with dearest mamma out in this storm, and would have to go and help her." Mrs. Perkins' heart was too full to allow of words. All she could do was to clasp her arms around her big boy's neck and kiss him tenderly. At this very moment the door opened and Mr. Perkins, his face anxious, came in. directly disfiguring the expression of the face.

In a Massachusetts cemetery there is a monument erected to a large family of O'Kellys. Now, the O'Kellys, were too many for the monument and toward the last there was not room enough for the surnames. So this is Anton Rubenstein. In the Russian village of Vichvatjinetz, on the Dniester, near the frontier of the government of Podolsk and Bessarabia, Anton Grigorievitch Rubinstein was born November 16, 1829. In his autobiography Rubinstein tells us that not till he was in his sixtieth year did he know the exact date of his birth, his ignorance on the subject being due to a lapse of memory on the part of his mother. It was only after careful examination into the local documents bearing upon such events in the town of Rubinstein's birth that the 16th of November was fixed upon as being, without doubt, the correct date of his birth. But Rubinstein, having celebrated the 18th of November as his birthday for so many years, decided it was too late in his life to change the "family feteday," as he was pleased to call it, and continued to observe the 18th as the date of his nativity. A. Very early Rubinstein showed a marked talent for music, and his mother, herself a clever musician, spared neither time nor pains on instructing him on the piano. When the little Anton was between five and six he would sit for hours on the high stool in front of the piano, his mother beside him, carefully watching and directing the use of the small nimble fingers as they played exercises to her "one, two, three," or ran without tiring the difficult scales. While Anton was still very young his parents removed to Moscow, and there the child's musical education began in earnest. His mother's enthusiasm was rqused by hearing an "infant virtuosi" play in Moscow, and she as once decided her gifted child should have better training than she herself could give him. Alexander Villoing, a celebrated music-teacher, was sought by her, the honest woman, telling him that her means were limited, and that she could not afford to pay a large price for the child's lessons. "Let us hear him play," Villoing said. Rubinstein sat down at the piano and ran through some music the master placed on the rack before him. "As I am not pressed for money," the good Villoing said, "I shall gladly undertake this boy's musical education free of charge." And from that day the little Rubinstein was in the hands of his master. To quote from his autobiography: "In my eighth year I began to study with Villoing, and in my thirteenth year my musical education was completed, for I never had another music-teacher." At 10 years of age Rubinstein gave his first concert, playing in Moscow. At 11 he was on a concert tour through out Europe, playing before the most enthusiastic audiences, the crowned heads showering favors upon the deserving little genius. Mary Graham.

Senator HASN'T IT MEAN OF HILLIE BUGG TO PUT A BENT PIN IN GRANDRA'S CHAIR? DISCOVERIES MADE BY ACCIDENT. The invention of the laryngoscope was due to chance. "I leaped," said the late Manuel Garcia, "to see a healthy glottis exposed in the very act of singing. One day in the autumn of 1854 I was strolling in the Palais Royal, when suddenly I saw the two mirrors of the laryngoscope in their respective positions, as if actually before my eyes. I went straight to Charriere, the surgical instrument maker, and was supplied with a dentist's mirror. Returning home, I placed against the uvula the little mirror, then flashing on its surface with a hand mirror a ray of sunlight I saw at once the glottis wide open before me, so fully exposed that I could see a portion of the trachea. The potter's art owe's much to accident. When on a journey in 1720, Simon Astbury chanced, on halting at Banbury, to notice that one of his horse's eyes was much inflamed. He consulted the hoster, who threw a red hot flint into a pail of water, thereby reducing the former to a powder, which he applied to the injured eye. Astbury, who had watched the process, perceived therein the solution of a problem that had long perplexed him. He procured a cartload of flints, had them fired and pulverized, and having mixed the powder with pipe clay and water, applied it to his ware, which thus, after the final baking, acquired the white shine he had so long sought. Equally extraordinary was the discovery in 1703, of the essential ingredient of white porcelain by John Frederick Bottger. He noticed one morning that his wig was unusually heavy, and, on inquiring the reason of his servant, was told that is was owing to the powder, a peculiar kind of white earth then much in vogue for dressing wigs, with which it was covered. Was this the very substance for which he had so long and vainly sought? He submitted it to experiment, and discovered therein that kaolin, the want of which had up till then prevented him obtaining complete success. British gum was discovered through a fire. When, in 1821 the starch factory of Chapelized was burned to the ground some calico printers, who in assisting to extinguish the flames had been plentifully bedewed with the starch which the water had washed into the highway, found on attempting to remove their clothes that they adhered to their bodies as if they had been saturated with glue. On returning to the scene of the disaster the men found the ground covered with puddles of glutinous matter, some of which they removed, and found that it served as well as the gum arabic hitherto employed in their trade. This secret which they ultimately sold for a small sum, resulted in the issue of our present adhesive postage stamps. The discovery of the telescope was brought about by the children of a Dutch spectacle maker, named Lipperskey, playing with their father's glasses before the door. While shifting and changing the spectacles the children were surprised to see the spire of a distant church brought, as it were, close to their eyes. They called their father to witness the strange sight, and he, with his knowledge of optics, at once recognized the opportunity that chance had given him. He forthwith constructed the telescope, which, after certain improvements by Galilea, to whom it had been shown, was for a while the wonder of the age. The arts of war, no less than those of peace, stand indebted to chance. A regiment of Basque soldiers, hard pressed by the enemy near Bayonne, drew the long knives that formed part of their equipment and fastened them into the barrels of their muskets. The charge that followed was so successful that the military authorities adopted and improved upon this sudden inspiration, with the result that in 1682, the baynet was adopted by the British army. Watts, the Bristol plumber, made $50,000 through a dream. One night he dreamed that while soldering up some defect on the roof of a church he let the ladle of molten metal slip from the hand into the street below. On hastening down to recover the utensil he found to his surprise that the lead which it contained, instead of lying in an intact mass, was scattered around in a myriad of minute globules. On awakening, his curiosity prompted him to repeat the experiment, when to his surprise the falling metal behaved as it had done in his dream. This discovery, which he at once adopted to the making of lead shot, brought him in the above substantial fortune. Don't Neglect Appearances Life for a woman must always be more or less a question of appearances. No woman is so good or so beautiful or so intellectual that she can afford to be dowdy. No woman has the least right to render herself unattractive, particularly to those with whom she is most closely associated. No woman can afford to fret or worry and nag if she wants to retain her beauty and power to please. The spirit of compromise in married life saves many an unhappy moment. Nothing is unimportant in a woman's life, from her nails and hands to her mind and character. A happy woman is delightful to see—a woman who is cheerful in everything she does, be it work or play.

Galesburg, Ill. —The abolition of the purely nominal money capitalization of business corporations as a cure for the evils of over capitalization was set forth by Edward M. Shepard in an address before the Illinois State Bar association. The removal of the dollar mark from capital stock will, he believes, go far toward solving the problem. "It is the falsity of the present plan should condemn it," he said. "For the very reason that it facilitates deceit, the delusion of investors and insincere dealing with public sentiment by public officers, it should be ended, if there be a better plan. I think there is. I propose that the share of stock shall have no dollar mark; that its only essential feature shall be the truthful certification that it is one of a given total number of equal shares into which the enterprise is divided. "Who lends a corporation money upon the nominal amount of its capitalization? The creditor who is sane considers, not the nominal, but the actual situation; his concern is with the company's realizable property, its mortgage or lien debts, its floating debt, its gross income, its net income. Is not, however, the creditor entitled to know that the capital, of which he has been assured, shall not, until he is paid, be taken from the company in dividends, but remain a fund for his security? Indeed, he is entitled to that. Our system of nominal capitalization does not give him that assurance. "The creditor might, however, require a corporation, as a condition of his extension of credit, to provide him with a statement of present and actual conditions just as a broker requires a statement of the solvency of a partnership, whose notes he places on the market. For carollessness or dishonesty in making such statements the common law provides ample remedy. The essential thing, as I conceive it, is that the basis of the dividend or of the credit shall be found in some responsible statement of present actual facts, not in fictitious or nominal or obsolete capitalization." Mr. Shepard spoke of the common idea that the profits of railroads and other public service corporations should be restricted to 6 per cent. This, in his opinion, is a fallacy, and if so restricted would prevent industrial advancement. "Private capital will not go into new and untried enterprises unless upon a promise that, in case of success, the profits shall exceed the rate of interest which could be earned upon assured investments," he said. "Sensible capitalists will never take the risk of loss unless paid for the risk in the magnitude of probable or possible profit. It is absurd to suppose that constructive genius and financial and even moral courage would have carried railroads over the Allegeny mountains, or the Rockies or the Sierra on the assumption that if the enterprise failed a great loss should be borne by the promoters, but that if the enterprise succeeded, their profit should be limited to what they could have earned without risk by lending their capital on bond and mortgage." Sixty years ago a farmer, weary of wrestling with Vermont's stony soil traded all his acres for an old horse, wherewith to make his escape from the Green Mountain State. Beneath that arid hill-farm lay some of the most precious marble deposits, the world has ever seen, such as have supplied architects, builders, and sculptors throughout the length and breadth of this great land. America's Carrara is found at West Rutland, Proctor, Brandon, Pittsford, and other points in that locality, which have given up in vast quantities every known variety of marble, including a precious stone rivaling that of Pentelicus, with which was constructed the Parthenon, the Hippodrome, and other classic structures of ancient Athens—not forgetting the imperishable material in which Phidias and Praxiteles wrought their marvelous sculpture. The marble belt of Vermont has been worked, though by vastly different methods, for over a hundred years. Prior to 1800 a little surface marble was used for funeral monuments, and generations later the vast deposits were worked in a casual way. But no one then saw much in an industry which is now so prosperous that one concern alone has an output of $2,500,000 worth every year. Plows his own horn—The cornet player. Your American flat are very convenient" said William T. Stead, the noted English journalist, in New York, "but I have seen some that are ridiculously small. In fact," said Mr. Stead, smiling, "I heard the other day a singer who explained an- THE DOPE FIEND. "Are dope fiends always criminals?" a detective was asked by a reporter for the Milwaukee Wisconsin. "No, but most criminals are dope fiends, and hopeless ones. The common ordinary thief or the man who is a criminal by accident or because of misfortune, is seldom a dope fiend, but the better class of criminals, I mean those who make it their life business, are nearly all dope fiends of one sort or another." "They last a good many years, some of them," continued the detective, "but sometimes they become so weakened by the habit that they fall by the way side, become ordinary tramps or vagrants or more often still, they commit suicide. When they are caught and placed in prison, if the habit has become so badly fixed, they often die for a lack of the stimulant. An effort is always made to cure them, and they are cut down gradually by the doctor in charge of the prison hospital and finally their supply is cut off. Morphine eaters can go down rapidly from the full dose, which with many of them is 20 grains of morphine injected every two hours, until they come to a certain point, when the loss of another grain or the fraction of a grain, almost kills them. "I remember a doctor whom we brought down from the north for embezlement. He appeared like an ordinary person to us until we got him into the train and were several hours on our way. Then suddenly his face turned a frightful yellow, he commenced to shiver and sweat and apparently suffered agonies. We thought he was going crazy at first until he told us his time was up for another charge of morphine, and we hustled around and got the stuff, which he injected into his leg. But before he did it we thought he would surely die. He became so weak he could hardly talk. I think that he was one of the few who are ultimately cured in prison. He became a useful citizen." The case of a young woman who was recently sent to the house of correction for thirty days on a vagrancy charge serves as a frightful warning to those who may be brought under the influence of drugs. She had an excellent home, fine parents, good surroundings and every reason to prove a respectable and useful member of society, but the iniquitous habit seized her and she became a creature of passion. Beautiful woman though she was, while under the influence of the drug she seemed still more beautiful in a ghostly, unreal sort of way. Her eyes shone with an unnatural brightness, her cheeks bore a hectic flush which gave a feeling of life to her normally marble white skin. She had not retrograded to the point where all thought of personal appearance had waned, but she dressed neatly and well. When the influence had left her weak and nervous, she was another creature, slovenly, bent upon expeditions into the "bad lands" from whence few return without a smirch upon their conscience, a stain upon their reputation. She became the companion of negresses and of white people of the lowest type. She drank beer offered to her by mulatta wenches who bought it in a "growler" from the nearest saloon. She was chased from one house to another by the police, and finally unable to give a good account of herself or explain how she made her living, she was arrested and sentenced to a month in jail, with others who in culture were far below her. Now even a hardened convict would think himself above her. Cocaine and morphine are perhaps the most commonly used stimulants, if we except alcohol and tobacco. Cases which demonstrate the injury of tobacco to morals are few, although it is used more widely than any other narcotic, by smoking, chewing or sniffing. The baneful influence on boys of cigarette smoking is too well known to comment upon. The chewing of snuff by negroes in the south seems to produce a feeling similar to that produced by the more violent drums. The snuff, which is usually of the strongest and most pungent tobacco, is drammed under the lips and left there to dissolve. Chronic chloroform poisoning, as it is known, is another pernicious habit, somewhat rare, it is true, but occurring among a class of people who use chloroform constantly for the same reasons that an inebriate uses alcohol. Announcement is made of the engagement of Miss Edith Root, only daughter of the Secretary of State and Mrs. Elihu Root, to Lieutenant Hlysses Grant III, U. S. A., son of Major Frederic Dent Grant, commanding the department of the East. The record of a woman who died at the age of 42, who for ten years had inhaled a pint of chloroform every day, is well known to physicians. Hasheesh, opium, chloral and other drugs when used habitually will injure the health and become fatal to mind and morals. They destroy will power, conscience, ambition, paternal feeling, and social affections; degrade genius, ruin chastity, and steal away honor. Passions reign and selfishness is supreme. Life becomes during the delusive inflation, a delirium of delight, the present is bright and the future aflame with an aureole of glory, as witness the dreams of the opium smoker or the user of hasheesh. When the chains of the habit are firmly welded, the victim experiences all the horrors of remorse and self-condemnation; he realizes his debasement but has not the strength or will power to put an end to his miserable existence by suicide. Perchance, he takes an overdose, or his system has become so weakened by continuous use of the drug that the remnant of life in his useless frame is suddenly extinguished as a sudden blast of air will snuff out the frail light of a candle. Then his body is carted in a pine box to the potter's field. A foreign tourist who had received permission to visit one of the large asylums for the insane in this country was surprised at the neatness, quietude and good order that prevailed within the walls of the institution. He asked if it was always like that, and the polite attendant who was showing him through the building said it was. "We have what we call our violent warces, of course, but I presume you would not care to see those." "I think not." "It is just as well, perhaps. They are rather noisy, although, of course, we exercise the same care in providing for the welfare of the inmates that we do in every part of the institution. We also have a section where we keep the "incurables." "These inmates, then, are considered curable?" "Their cases are at least hopeful." "I am greatly interested," said the visitor. "but I will not take up any more of your time. You have other duties to attend to, have you not?" "Yes, sir. This is merely one of my recreations. In one of the rooms in the main building I am engaged, during most of the time, in perusing what may be called my life-work." "Your life-work? May I ask what that is?" "Hadn't you heard?" said the attendant, in a tone of astonishment "I am compiling an index to Webster's Dictionary." —Youth's Companion. The present conditions of Mississippi River traffic, as reported by Herbert Knox Smith, Commissioner of Corporations and a member of the Waterways Commission, are calculated to arouse mournful memories of the days when the Mississippi was in its glory as a great highway of inland commerce. The commission spent a week traveling down the river below St. Louis, finding "absolute decay" everywhere, says the New York World. According to Mr. Smith, the railroads have killed the steamboat trade so effectually that now when the rail-carriers are unable to move all the freight offered there are no steamers to handle the surplus. The through lines of boats to New Orleans have ceased to run, and practically speaking the river is deserted. At Memphis, Mr. Smith saw thousands of cotton bales which had lain in the streets all winter because there was no room for them in the warehouses and no river boats to receive them. From 1840 to the outbreak of the war and for a full decade at least after its close the Mississippi was the great North and South trunk line of Western trade The substantial warehouses and now decrepit wharves at all the important landings from New Orleans to St. Paul testify clearly to its departed traffic. In 1845 2050 steamboats arrived at St. Louis, and in 1856 the young city of St. Paul could boast 846. The river was a favorite passenger route also; then sidewheel tinder-boxes raced with "a nigger squat on the safety valve." The railways have now wrested this traffic away. The Mississippi tonnages of 73,051 tons for 1871 and 81, 189 for 1881 dwindled last year to a trifle of 6391 tons. been one of the military aides to President Roosevelt, and the social duties of that position first brought about the acquaintance with Miss Root. The biggest tree often yields the smallest fruit. A plant must be well fed to do its best. The best condition powder for a horse is good, wholesome food. Hereditary excellence is what gives one breed superiority over another. Clean out the barns and granaries before putting in the new crops. To feed without waste requires an intelligent combination of the food elements needed. Breeding too early is quite incompatible with hardiness of constitution and lasting qualities. Nothing gives evidence of thrift and enterprise in farming better' than keeping everything in order. The greater the depth of a naturally drained soil the better it is adapted to fruit-frees. One of the main causes of increasing cost in feeding stock is through waste in feeding. By good drainage only the unnecessary and hurtful moisture is carried away. Feed so as to keep up a steady growth. Never allow an animal to be at a standstill in flesh-making. Eradicating the weeds makes the land more productive and makes the farm clean, attractive, and consequently more valuable. Of all green fertilizers clover is the best. Its roots go deep and it absorbs much more from the air than it stores in the soil. Where too large a proportion of the farm is kept under plow the soil soon becomes impoverished and unproductive. 一 All animals thrive best when fed at regular intervals and given each time no more than they will readily consume. Clean straight fence rows and fences in good repairadd materially to the appearance and value of the farm. Clover or grass cut for hay should not be allowed to remain out any longer than is strictly necessary to cure properly. 一 When the cost of keeping a good article is no more than keeping a poor one it is certainly advisable to keep the better. No vegetable accessible to the farmer absorbes so much nitrogen from the air and leaves so rich a store-house of it is clover. Sandy soils are good fruit soils when sufficiently fertile and are better adapted to the smaller fruits and berries requiring careful cultivation. In all the operations of the farm it should be remembered that it is merit alone in farm products which secures the best prices. Excessive fatness causes degeneration of th vital organs, and it dose not cause the animals to be entirely barren it will at least affect and weaken their offspring. Have you ever stopped to admire the self-control of the man who can pick up a lead pencil without marking on something? When English capitalists were trying to establish Angora goat raising in South Africa they paid as much as $2,500 apiece to induce the Turkish owners of fine flocks to risk the severe penalties of the Sultan's laws forbidding the exportation of Angoras.

Established in St. Louis. An Unprofitable Witness. Two kinds of Witnesses are often encountered in courts of justice—the unwilling witness and the too-willing witness. Here is one who doesn't seem to come under either category. The prosecuting counsel thus addresses him: "Mr. Parks, state, if you please, whether the defendant, to your knowledge, has ever followed any profession." "He has been a professor ever since I have known him." "Ah! a professor of what?" "A professor of religion." "What does he do?" "Well, generally what he pleases." "Mr. Parks, this kind of prevarication will not do here. Now state sir, how the defendant supports himself." "I saw him last night supporting himself against a lamp post." "May it please your lordship, this witness shows an evident disposition to trifle with the court." "Mr. Parks," says his lordship, "state if you know anything about it, what the defendant's occupation is." "Occupation, did you say, sir?" "Yes, occupation," said the judge. "Yes; what is his occupation?" echoed the counsel. "If I am not mistaken, he occupies two rooms somewhere in Camden Town." "That's all, Mr. Parks. Do I understand you to affirm that the defendant is a professor of religion?" "He is." "Does his practice correspond with his profession?" "I never heard of any correspondence or letter of any kind." "You said something about his propensity for drinking. Does he drink hard? "No, sir. I think he drinks as easy as any man I ever saw." "One more question, Mr. Parks. You have known the defendant a long time. What are his habits—loose or otherwise? "I think the one he has on now is rather tight under the arms; it is certainly too short-waisted for the fashion."
