The Broad Ax

THE BROAD AX VOL. VI. THE GREATEST POLITICAL LANDSLIDE IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. There is no question but what the Presidential election of 1900 was the greatest victory for the Republican party, and the greatest defeat for the Democratic party that has ever occurred in the history of this country. Many theories and explanations have been advanced tending to simplify the reason or the cause which led up to the overwhelming defeat of Col. Wm. J. Bryan, the Democratic standard-bearer. To our mind many plausible theories outside of those so far advanced which were instrumental in leading up to the complete rout of those who were opposed to re-electing President McKinley. In the first place we believe that even after the mistake was made in constructing the platform at Kansas City there was still much hope of meeting with success nationally, and more especially after the notification meeting at Indianapolis and the promulgation of Colonel Bryan's letter of acceptance, which seemed to electrify the American people everywhere, which caused the leaders of the Republican party to look on with fear and alarm. At that very time the managers of Colonel Bryan's campaign, in our oponion, made the fatal mistake in urging the Colonel to take the stump and tour the country in his own behalf, for in doing so the managers of the Democratic party played right into the hands of the Republicans, for up to the time Colonel Bryan began his unprecedented oratorical campaign, Chairman Hanna was unable to infuse any life into the rank and file of the Republican party. But just as soon as Colonel Bryan started on his tour over the country, Senator Hanna sounded the alarm, which woke up the Republicans in every section of the country and as a result of this waking up they, the Republicans, rushed out from their palatial homes and engulfed and strangled out Democracy, whereas, if Chairman James K. Jones and the other managers of the national committee had refrained from insisting that Colonel Bryan should set forth his views on the various issues of the campaign the chances are that the Democratic party would have been victorious, for the times, and in fact, everything, favored the Democratic party. Second, it must be admitted, that the Democratic party is not near as well organized as the Republican party, and this fact largely contributed to the defeat of the national ticket. The Republicans had plenty of money and were able to take a sixty and a thirty day poll of all the states; but the Democratic managers being without sufficient funds were unable to take one correct poll of any state, consequently those in charge of the campaign were greatly hampered in that direction—then again, we believe the Republicans understand much better how to raise money for campaign purposes and how to play politics, better than the managers of the Democratic party; that Chairman Hanna and his associates are without a doubt the sharpest and the shrewdest political managers in the world, while on the other hand, Chairman James K. Jones, who is the guiding spirit of the Democratic national committee is a splendid representative of a bygone age, therefore he permits Chairman Hanna to turn around twenty times to his once; the great difference between Chairman Jones and Chairman Hanna is something wonderful, the former, true to his old Southern habit, lounges around in his office during the heat of the presidential contest and simply claims everything in sight; while the latter chairman throws dignity to the winds and goes out and works and talks for everything in sight. These are a few of the causes which defeated the party in almost every state north of the Mason and Dixon line—in several states south of that line and gave President McKinley 282 electoral votes. In conclusion we love the grand old Democratic party of Thomas Jefferson and we are more than ever convinced that Jeffersonian Democracy is the best for all the people. But the party can never expect or hope to win in a national contest under the leadership of James K. Jones, John G. Johnson, B. R. Tillman, Richard Croker and company, these men and their likes must be cast overboard and new and better men must be selected to guide and control the ship of Democracy, which will sail over the Republican waters on its way to the national capitol in 1904. IRREPUTABLE If a goldbug tells you "gold is money," just ask him this: Suppose there was no gold at all, could we have money? He must say "yes." Then gold is not money, you reply. He then must say "it is money because the law makes it so." Then you tell him that is what greenback men say of the greenback. He will then reply, but paper is not worth anything—it is only a promise to pay and gold is payment—is worth the value law puts on it. Then you reply by a question—ask him if anything, such as gold can be more a payment then payment itself. You owe me 100 dollars you get hold of my acceptance or due bill for 100 dollars. I am paid as soon as you present it, law or no law. Am I not? "Of course," he will say. Then you ask what he means' by saying "paper is worthless," when it is payment, law or no law, whereas his gold needs a law to make it legal tender, and also needs to be weighed—as no gold coin ever is full weight after one day of circulating. It needs two things to make it payment, and the acceptance needs nothing. He will then ask what do you mean? Ask him then who owes to the government some seven hundred million dollars of tax every year, occuring daily? He must reply, "the people owe it." Then ask him what government wants of the revenues? He must reply, to pay its debts to soldiers, sailors, pensioners, contractors and civil servants. Then ask him why the acceptance or bills of government made legal tender are not the same in the peoples' hands as any other creditors acceptance to his debtor. They are payment of seven hundred millions revenue the moment they fall into our hands. The magnitude of the thing makes no difference. A owes B and gets the bill of B. B is paid. People owe government and get its bills payment, and yet you dare to say a puny bit of gold that.has to be legislated on and weighed is payment superior to that enormous credit floating between 80 millions of industrious souls and then government. Bah! THEN AND NOW. Strange that some men will assert that the laboring man is so much better off than he was in old times. By reference to the Paston Letters, Bohn's literary of Ancient Literature we find that in the 14th and 15th century rents were but a few pence per acre. A fine holding was rented at four pennies per acre. Wages of mechanics were four pence per day if boarded, and five and a half if not. Writers, copyists got about seven pence to eight and this was deemed high pay. Living was so cheap it was almost nominal. Bills and receipts are written out and comments made showing that a very little cash went a great way. Sixty years ago living was so cheap and so was clothing that twenty-five cents went farther than one dollar adn a half does now. Good board and lodging was one dollar to one dollar and a quarter per week. Sixteen pounds of coffee per one dollar. Under a very low revenue tariff the finest silk and velvet dresses were worn by common people. This was in Ohio. Beef was from two to four cents. Perhaps the dearest article was the candle and lights generally. Fuel was nominal and wood was free for the labor of gathering. Students at college got boarded, lodged, educated, etc., for $110 per year. Wages were low but living was very cheap till our tariff era. HOLT. M. F. Dunlap, Esq., made a very vigorous effort to land the state treasurership and by being well liked and well known he ran right straight through Cook county. Mr. Dunlap should not feel ashamed of the large vote he received, for its shows that he was by far the strongest candidate that the state convention could have nominated for state treasurer. A BLACK LAW STATE. Oregon has the most atrocous and cruel laws against Negroes as the lines we publish herein from an independent anti-Whig Republican paper, "The Sentinel" of Salem, Oregon. That state has been almost unanimously Republican for a quarter of a century. Out of two hundred members in its Legislature all are Republicans save six or eight. It is a real Yankee population of the most violent Republican type. Several times the Democrats in the Legislature have moved to abolish the infamous and unlawful Black Laws of the state, but without success. We say unlawful, because they are contrary to the very spirit of a true republic and to the Constitution. Last session the repeal of those statutes so disgraceful to civilization, so adverse to the true spirit of Christianity were again tried, as is seen by the following: In June the state of Oregon refused to repeal the "Black Law" of this state which if strictly construed would keep the Negroes out of the state entirely. FACTS UPON FACTS The Relation of the North and South to the Negro (By Rev. S. A. Chambers.) Twenty-five years ago it would have been regarded a mad rush into death, a suicidal act, for a Republican President to make a tour through the Southern portion of his dominion and attempt to speak to collected crowds from the platform of his car. He would have been hissed off of the stage, howled down, sneered and jeered at, and the wheel of his life would have been turning on a very weak pivot, and his margin would have been very narrow on which he walked out of danger. The track, perhaps, would have been torn up and his train wrecked. What a change! It is not so now. Harrison and McKinley have made tours through the South with as much assurance of safety as Cleveland. The North and South have united for one common good. The two sections have shook hands across the bloody chasm dug out by Grant and Lee, and now both sections rush simultaneously to the protection of the Stars and Stripes. There is practically no North and no South, but one united power looking with a suspicious eye at the "nigger." What the South is, the North will be; and what the North has been in regards to the Negro question, both will pronounce as a mistake; and then it will be a sad day for the Negro in this country. The North has already gone a step further than the South to the end that the officers of the law participate in heaping vengeance on the Negro. In the South where Negroes have been brutally dealt with, in most cases, the brutality was only carried out after the officers of the law had been overpowered by an infuriated mob. The officers only yielded to superior force after they had jeopardized their own lives to protect their prisoners. The North was once the Negroe's "city of refuge," but if we are to judge from recent developments in New York and Ohio he will have to seek other quarters for shelter. Judge Tourgee said some years ago that the Negro was "tolerated in the North because of his fewness and sympathized with because of his condition." I fear that this is a lamentable fact. When the Negroes abound in the North in as great quantities as they do in the South, they will find their condition little changed by migration. We are confronted by an inevitable, face with crisis which must be grappled with whether in the North or in the South. It is a race question which cannot be settled legislative enactments, resolutions, agitations, wealth nor education. All race questions must be settled at a time and in a way that may be little expected by the generation that precedes their occurrence. There is a future for the Negro and there is a destiny accompanying that future, but you must call on God to tell what the end of this strife shall be. About 620,000 whites, and 100,000 blacks, living on the same soil, breathing the same air, eating the same food, serving the same God, studying the same books, living door neighbors to each other, the presence of the one is indispensable to the happiness of the other protected by the same govern- ment, fighting side by side to protect the same flag, and still inveterate foes to each other-Judah envying Ephraim and Ephraim vexing Judah makes, the question problematical. What shall the end be?-Yorkville, S. C. CHIPS. The Men's Sunday Forum meets every Sunday afternoon at the Institutional church. Mrs. Carrie Young, of Atlanta, Ga., is visiting Mrs. Lula Walton, 2959 Dearborn street. A new Sunday club has been organized at Bethel church, Hon. Wm. L. Martin was elected President. Hon. John G. Jones is happy. He was elected member of the Legislature from the 5th Senatorial District. Mrs. George C. Hall, who has been confined to her home, 3616 Dearborn street, by illness, is rapidly recovering. Mr. John Keelan is home from the Government Printing Office at Washington, visiting his family at 3220 Wabash avenue. The Lyceum of Grace Presbyterian church will meet tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. Lloyd J. Wheeler will make an address. The concert for the benefit of Provident hospital, which was billed for Thursday night at Quinn chapel, was a failure. The new dancing school, under the direction of Mrs. C. C. Lewis, meets on Fridays at the home of Mrs. Al. Deming, 3220 Wabash avenue. Miss Mamie Shoecraft of Detroit, who has been the guest of Mrs. Bowles, 4765 Dearborn street, will return to her home next week. Wm. F. Mahoney won out without any trouble in the 5th Congressional District and he will take the place in Congress of E. T. Noonan who never did cut much ice. Thomas A Smyth, Thomas J. Webb, Wm. Legner and Frank Wenters, were elected as Sanitary Trustees and the chances are that Mr. Smyth will be elected as President of the Board. James Todd, candidate for attorney-general, did not run qulte as strong in Cook county as some of his running mates, but he showed great strength and being a first-class lawyer, Mr. Todd is in line for city attorney. John E. Doyle and E. M. Cummings, both of the old Town of Lake, will after the first of next January occupy their seats in the legislative halls at Springfield, and assist in helping to enact good laws for all the people. Jacob B. Thielen and James E. Daley are the other two Democratic candidates for County Commissioners who pulled through in the big Republican landslide and they will assist in looking after the affairs of Cook county. James McAndrews who has been known as Chicago's popular commissioner of Public Buildings will now be known as the Hon. James McAndrews, Congressman from the Fourth Congressional District Mr. McAndrews wears his new honors with becoming modesty. John J. Feely has to the great delight of his troops of admiring friends succeeded in defeating Congressman Wm. Lorimer and from henceforth the people living in the second Congressional District will be represented in Congress by one of the ablest and youngest leaders of Democracy-John J. Feely. Many Democrats residing in the 29th and 30th wards resorted to many mean and low tricks in order to defeat M. J. Butler, the newly elected state Senator from the 4th Senatorial District. But in spite of all the opposition which was brought to bear against him Mr. Butler won out by a handsome majority and for the next four years he will assist to make the laws for all the people of Illinois. Congressman Geo. P. Foster was reelected to Congress from the third District by an increased majority. Two years ago he carried his District by only 2,800, but on last Tuesday the people rolled his majority up to six thousand which proves that his constituents are entirely satisfied to let welenough alone and that its their intention to continue to return Congress- man Foster to Congress as long as he continues to look after their interests. John E. Traeger as we predicted was elected coroner of Cook county, but his election was a great surprise to his Republican opponent and his supporters. The thing which elected Mr. Traeger was his universal popularity with all the people and The Broad Ax knows that he will discharge all the duties of his office without fear or favor. Mr. Traeger has been kept busy since the day of the election in receiving the congratulations of his friends. R. B. Organ who was the Democratic candidate for President of the Board of County Commissioners, made a gallant fight and although he failed in being elected President of the Board, nevertheless, he was elected Commissionr and will faithfully for the next two years serve the people in that capacity, and at the expiration of that time Mr. Organ should receive the nomination for County Treasurer for he is one of the strongest and cleanest men within the ranks of the Democratic party in Cook County. The musical Section under the direction of Mrs. Eliza Harris entertained the members of The Phyllis Wheatley club at their rooms, 5058 Dearborn street, last Wednesday. An excellent paper on "The History of Music," was read by President L. A. Davis, which created much enthusiasm among the lovers cf music. A discussion followed the reading of the paper. Miss Clara Green, editoress of The Chronicle read the news of the week's doings. The club will meet Wednesday. Nov. 14th, subject "The Awakening of Art." Daniel M. Jackson made a very poor showing on the day of the election according to the returns. So far he was cut or scratched in every ward throughout the city and was next to the lowest man in the bunch for County Commissioner. It is said that many colored voters refused to vote for him thus showing that if the managers of the Democratic party last June would have placed a colored man on the ticket for county commissioner he would have gone through, and today we would have six Democratic County Commissioners instead of five. Samuel Alschuler conducted one of the most brilliant campaigns in the history of this state and if the election for governor would have been held at any time other than at the presidential election, Mr. Alschuler, in spite of all opposition would have been the next governor of Illinois, and the magnificent majority given him here in Chicago and Cook county must cause him to look back on his governnctrial campaign with much pride, for he received more votes in this city and in Cook county than Colonel Wm. J. Bryan. From present indications Mr. Alschuler will be the Democratic nominee for United States senator. Sunday night, Nov. 11, the Phyllis Wheatley Woman's Club assembled at Institutional Church, 39th and Dearborn streets, in honor of the club's patron, Saint Phyllis Wheatly, the first Afro-American poetess. The exercises opened with an organ voluntary by Prof. Ed S. Morris; invocation, Rev. R. C. Ransom; music, Umbrian Glee Club; introductory remarks, President L. A Davis; vocal solo, Miss Euphemia B. McQuann; original poem, Phyllis Mheatly, Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman; address, Phyllis Wheatly, "The Woman and Her Time," W. H. A. Moore; music, Umbrian Glee Club. Each number on the program was a gem in the music and literary art and was highly appreciated by the large audience present and the Phyllis Wheatly Club covered itself with glory. Heinrich Graf Heiniger. a noted explorer and scientist, tells a remarkable story of the capture and escape from a tribe of Bola Bola men in the wilds of Africa. These people, says the Count, are remarkable in many ways, but most surprising is their great age, many living to be 150 years old, although 100 to 125 years is the average age. Our German friend and his companion soon discovered the cause of their longevity. After two years they made their escape, not, however, till they had learned the secrets of these magnificently preserved people, how they prolong life, retain health, in fact they have discovered a veri- NO. 3. table fountain of youth. "Longavita" ad. in another column tells you all about it. SPANISH PROVERBS. One love drives out another. One wolf does not bite another. Sell publicly and buy privately. Luck comes to those who look after it. Wind and good luck are seldom lasting. He who talks much is sometimes right. The fault is as great as he who commits it. Not to wish to recover is a mortal symptom. He who has but one coat cannot lend it. Discover not your hoarded money to anybody. He who does not speak, God does not hear. He who always tells me a lie never cheats me. He who does not show himself is overlooked. Do you want to buy cheap? Buy of a needy fool. If you want to be revenged, hold your tongue. He that has no ill-luck grows weary of good-luck. The more you court a clown the stateller he grows. He who asks the fewest favors is the best received. He who eats his fowl alone may saddle his horse alone. A man that is lean, not from hunger, is harder than brass. He who does not mix with the crowd knows nothing. He who does no more than another is no better than another. Seat yourself in your place and you will not be made to quit it. If you want to know secrets, seek for them in trouble or in pleasure. If this ball does not stick to the wall it will at least leave a mark. No wonder if he breaks his head who stumbles twice over one stone. To be a merchant, the art consists more in getting paid than in making sales. Whether the pitcher strike the stone or the stone the pitcher, woe be to the pitcher. He that is more civil than usual, either wants to cozen you or has need of you. Who lends recovers not; or if he recovers, recovers not all; or if all, not much; or if much, a mortal enemy. SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY. Love can neither be bought nor sold. An indolent man is a dead one who can't be buried. He who has lost all confidence can lose nothing more. Ceremonies may differ, but true politeness is ever the same. The fool politician fights friction; the wise one "soft soaps" it. A locomotive has a headlight and a blond woman has a light head. An old bachelor says a rich and pretty widow never comes a-miss. Even in the "fatherland" they invariably speak the "mother tongue." The millionaire who dresses as well as his clerk is more or less eccentric. It is as easy for you to please everybody as it is for everybody to please you. The less a man knows about politics the more angry he gets in a political argument. Lots of men lose the thousands they have gained because of an insatiate pursuit after another hundred. When a hold-up man aims a revolver at the head of his victim the latter is apt to see the point of the argument. The placidity of expression worn by a man who is next in a crowded barber shop is almost equal to that of a spinster with her first love letter.

Edgar Saltus in a newspaper article Tefers to “the avalanches of dry goods and groceries that cataract from the book shelves of the department stores” as submerging the real novelist. This, it must be submitted, is rough on the real fiction-producers, but con- cerning not a few of the latter a sub- mergence, even by means of dry goods and groceries, would be a good thing for the general public. Of course, as to Mr. Saltus—but we will let readers draw their own conclusion. A treasury warrant,for 1 cent, cer- tified with all the customary solem- nity, was sent by the auditor for the postoffice depariment to Frank H.

Caracas, Venezuela, was again visit- ed by a severe earthquake last week. Fifteen persons were killed and many others injured. Great damage was done to buildings, including the Pan- theon and the churches. The United States legation was badly damaged, but all the occupants escaped unhurt. President Castro, who leaped from a balcony on the second floor of the government house, had one leg brok- en. Mr. William Henry Doveton Hag- gard had a narrow escape, the second floor of the British legation having fallen upon him and buried him in the debris. Reports from the interior show that the effects of the earthquake were widespread. The disturbances were felt as far as the region of the Andes. There were many wonderful escapes. Caracas has twice been shaken by earthquakes in recent years. In the middle of November, 1896, a severe disturbance occurred at midnight. There were two distinct shocks. There was a panic in the city and most of the inbabitants fied to the open places, ‘There was little damage done, how- ee oe tome ot Ute. * Te city of Caracas, which has fre- quently suffered —trom earthquakes, ‘was visited last July by a series of whispering together over something bb the municipal and house-lighting Une that is absolutely sensational.

I first ncticed the “fountains” of this canned-gas company at the ex- hibition, but they are now doing busi- ness on the Rue Auber, beside the Grand Opera, and are beginning to ex- tend theit business all over Europe, Asia and America, writes our corre- spondent. It is in the full tourist quarter, and I fancy there have been few Americans in Paris this summer who have not stood in admiration be- fore the simple-looking device dis- played in those show windows by damage to property. There were seven terrific shocks in succession, and the residents of the city were terror- stricken. President Castro and his family slept for several nights under tents in the Plaza Bolivar, and all the churches and theaters were kept closed for a week.

The suit for $50,000 for breach of promise against Senator Wm. V. Sullivan by Miss Lucy Mai Leeton creates a lively interest in the town of Warrenton, Va., where both are well known. Miss Leeton is well remembered there, where she attended the Panquier Female Institute.She was entered at the school in January, 1898, by Senator Sullivan, as his ward, and remained there until the closing of the session in June of that year. While a student at the Fanquier Female Institute, Senator Sullivan was a frequent visitor to Warrenton, and his attentions to his beautiful ward were, it is said, more those of a lover than those of a guardian, and this loving attitude toward each other was much commented upon. Usually he SENATOR WILLIAM VAN AMBERG SULLIVAN. Mississippi Statesman, Who is Sued for $50,000 Damages for Breach of Promise. would come from Washington on Saturday and remain over until Monday, and would always have Miss Leeton leave the institute and stop with him at the Warren Green hotel during each brief visit to this place. A great many circumstances that were commented on then, but not viewed with suspicion, were easily understood in the light of recent developments. James Bryce, the distinguished English statesman and author, is in Paris for his first genuine visit to the French capital. He says that whenever he has been there before he was simply passing through, and that he is less acquainted with Paris than any of the other great continental capitals. May Wed a Billionaire.

Alfred Belt is said to be the only man in the world worth $1,000,000,000. He could be worth whatever he pleased, for his firm controls the entire output of diamonds from South Africa and regulates the supply so as to keep up the price. He is director of all the big South African corporations such as the De Beers company and the Chartered South African company. Mr. Beit owns the palace built by Barney Barnato in London.

A library to be known as the "Seymour Technical Library" is to be established at Johannesburg by friends of the late Major L. T. Seymour, as a memorial to his services to the mining industry in South Africa. The English Lake District Menaced. The proposition to construct an electric railway through the heart of the lake district in England, for which a bill will be offered in the new parliament, is meeting with strenuous opposition, not alone because it will tend towards the defacement of that beautiful region but because there is no demand for it in the district itself, the scheme being simply prompted by monetary motives. Some time ago an attempt was made to build a steam railroad through the district. It was defeated, but there is now imminent danger that the electric road promoters may succeed. The London Spectator, discussing the project, says that all who are drawn there by scenery or association can easily get there, but garized and exposed to defacement or why "special facilities should be given to the tripper to careen up and down the avenues of this lovely park," injuring everything he touches. It intimates that while the lake district cannot be fenced in, even by act of parliament, there is a possibility of a national trust which may do for it what this government has done for the Yellowstone park. Goes as a Missionary. Miss Elizabeth Stanley of Richmond, Ind., has just sailed from New York for India to begin a career as a missionary. She is twenty-six years old, and seems to be particularly gifted for work of this character. She was born and reared in Richmond and has made her home with her widowed mother and her brothers. She has been a member of the Lutheran denomination from early childhood and became identified with the congregation of the Second Lutheran church in West Miss Stanley. Richmond when that church was established. She attracted the attention of prominent workers in the congregation and arrangements were made to give her an education that would fit her for the life of a missionary. She prepared for this work at Wittenberg college, Springfield, O., recently completing her course. The general synod of the Lutheran church in the United States picked upon Miss Stanley as one of its general missionaries for India, where a vast amount of work has been done during the last few years by this and various other denominations. Miss Stanley goes to India in company with several other missionaries of the Lutheran synod. Charles M. Hays. Who Has Been Selected for the Position of President of the Southern Pacific. "Prince of Pan-Handlers." His love for a Philadelphia girl is said to be responsible for the reformation of George Munro, known all over the United States for more than twenty years as the "prince of pan-handlers." In the language of the street a "pan-handler" is a man who gets his living without working for it by living the George Munro. George Munro. for it by plying the arts of a confidence man in a small way. Now that he has reformed, Munro has no hesitation in declaring that there is not an honest man who really needs food begging for money on the streets of a great city. His advice to people who, while kind at heart, object to being victimized, is to refuse every request for money made by street or house beggars. When a man comes to the door and asks for something to eat, Munro thinks he ought not to be turned away because "no professional panner will go around from door to door begging for cold victuals." In recognition of the eminent services he has rendered to the cause of scientific explorations the British government presented Dr. Nansen with a fifty-volume set of the Challenger Reports. He is the first single individual to receive them, their cost running up to several hundred pounds. Matter of Fact. Sappington—"Your sister looks sweet enough to eat." ELECTION RETURNS.

Minnesota farmers and others who have thought of investing in Belgian hares would do well to read the following from the San Diego (Cal.) Sun of Sept. 4: "Belgian hares, their haunts and habits, was the chief subject of discussion before the board of supervisors this morning, and some startling stories were told concerning the marvelous fecundity of the rabbits and their destructive qualities where gardens and orchards are concerned. The Belgian hare fad struck Southern California about a year ago, Los Angeles, as usual, being the chief storm center. Six months ago the furore was at its height, fancy imported hares being bought and sold in Los Angeles and Pasadena for as high as $1,500 each. Soon whole avenues were lined with signs announcing Belgian hares for sale at prices from $10 up. Then it dawned on the rabbit fanciers that Belgian hares were great multipliers and that the market for rabbit meat was not unlimited. Then came the crash of a bursted boom, and the whole hare business fell to the ground with a dull, sickening thud. Now you can buy Belgian hares in Los Angeles for any old price, and if you don't want to pay anything you can have the hares for nothing. It is the same here in San Diego. Already many breeders are preparing to turn their rabbits loose on the country, as they cannot sell them at any price, and the fear has become general that if this is done the country will be literally overrun within five years. Supervisor Griffin reported that one woman near Encinitas has three hundred which she intends to liberate, and several other examples were given. It appears that the favorite food of the Belgian hare is the tender bark of young fruit trees, and if the hares are not exterminated the fruit trees will be. The supervisors therefore passed an ordinance compelling all owners of Belgian hares to keep the animals strictly confined, fixing the penalty for turning them loose at not less than $20 nor more than $100." A writer in Farm and Fireside adds: "And that's where the Belgian hare fad has got to in California, and that is where it will soon get to all over the country, except, probably, in the extreme North. I have opposed this fad all along because I consider the Belgian hare the equal in fecundity of the English sparrow, and likely to become a thousand times more destructive to fruit, vegetables and grain if turned loose on the country, as it is certain to be when the fad expires. In the southern part of Illinois I have seen large orchards of apple trees stripped of bark to a height of two feet by our common rabbit. And the damage was all done in two nights. Wherever the common rabbit abounds every orchardist is obliged to provide protection of some sort for his trees." Breaking a Colt If you have ever seen a little colt running after his mother in the meadows you know how very funny he looks. He has long legs that seem very crooked and uncertain, for they point in all four directions at once. He has no manc to speak of, and only a stubby little tail. His coat is very rough, for he has never been rubbed down with a brush, and though you might look at him a great many times, you would never believe that he could grow into such a big, strong, handsome horse as his owner tells you that he will become some day. The most important day in a colt's life is when he first learns to carry a burden upon his back. A small laprobe is strapped upon him, and he is let loose, to tear up and down the fields and shake it off if he can. Then a double blanket is strapped across him like a saddle, and after a while he can bear the weight of the saddle itself, and then the weight of a boy. Shoeing him is very troublesome, for he often refuses to walk after it, and will roll around on his back, holding his feet up in the air in the most pitiful way, as if he did not know what to do with his new shoes. Teaching him to "back" is accomplished by hitching a team to the back of the wagon to which Mr. Colt is harnessed. At the word "back" some one starts up the team from behind and Mr. Colt is "backed" until he learns the use of the word. His training is not very pleasant for him. But if he is a bright, intelligent horse he will learn all there is to learn within a year after he has got his growth, or by the time he is three years old. He will then be very frisky and inclined to be scared at trifles. But if he is shown just what they are he usually changes his mind and behaves in a sensible way. Training a colt is easier than training any other animal, because the horse is naturally the most intelligent of all dumb animals.—Selected. WATCHING AND WAITING. Among the guests at the Raleigh a few days ago was a well educated and pleasant-mannered son of India. He had been at the hotel several times before, always ordered the best, and paid his bills without complaint. On this occasion he paid for his room in advance and seemed to have plenty of money. When he was ready to depart, however, he confided to Clerk B. A. Smith that he had lost his pocketbook and was without a cent. He did not ask to borrow money, but when he mentioned that he had friends in Baltimore who would help him, Mr. Smith offered to lend him a couple of dollars. The Hindoo was profuse in his thanks, and promised to return the money as soon as he reached the Maryland city. Yesterday Mr. Smith received a postal card from the man in India, upon which was written: "I herewith send you $2. Thanks, very much. I appreciate your most noble kindness." Mr. Smith looked first on one side and then on the other of the card, and finally split it in two, but could find no trace of the $2. He is now wondering if the Hindoo is possessed of a normally developed bump of humor, or whether one of those wonderful Indian tricks of magic is being performed. The latter theory is the more inviting, and he has placed the card in a glass case and is watching it closely to see if, by some mysterious means, it will not transform itself into a $2 note. payable at the treasury of the United States.—Washington Post.

A 100 REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR It's love that makes the world go ruined. Love to a woman is a thrill; to a man it is a throb. Love was invented by a man; marriage by a woman. No woman who understands human nature understands herself. Every man is afraid of his dentist and every woman is afraid of her minister. A woman never knows what she hasn't found till she knows what she has lost. Celebrity is finding out what the world wants and then making it think you have got it. By the time a man has learned to know women he is able to make a guess at himself. Women like babies the best, but most any man would rather have another fox terrier. Every woman over thirty years knows a lot of weather signs that she gets from the way a cat acts. The happiest people in the world are the ones who haven't got any time to go around thinking how miserable they are. A woman can do more with a hairpin and the handle of an old tooth brush than a man can with a tool chest and three old clocks. A woman divides all the men in the world into two classes; those she knows she can flirt with and those she isn't sure about yet. When a women first falls in love with a man she tries to make him believe that she never eats like other people, but just pecks at things. When a woman is out calling on people that she thinks are fashionable, it always makes her mad to hear her husband talk about "veal pot-ple." The women who can't stand the healthy smell of a cigar most always have some perfumery on that makes a man sick.—New York Press. FIXINGS FOR WOMEN. Arab laces are very popular. Black cotton stockings should never be ironed. Panne velvet spotted with gold is very attractive. The latest petticoats are made of satin foulards, glossy and soft. French knots are as commonly used for dress decoration as they were last spring. Bands of lace insertion alternated with tucked bands of gray silk form effective waists. Black fox, showing a few white hairs is reported as one of the favorite furs for boas. Grecian satin, a new wool material for evening wraps and tea gowns, has a tiny diagonal stripe on the surface. Red velvet applique designs embroidered with gold, are the decoration on the bolero of a white taffeta silk waist. A pretty vest is made of cream spotted net, tucked at wide intervals, filled in with tiny bias bands of colored silk stitched on the edges. A rough matrial called frieze, subdued by a surface of white hair, seems to be one of the smart materials for winter. These rough fabrics are usually trimmed liberally with bands of silk or satin covered with rows of stitching, on with some of the fancy braids. A typical hat for winter wear has its brim turned high on each side and swathed in lace, which is fastened at the edge in front by a scarab or an eagle buckle and is allowed to drop behind. On the crown will be flowers; under the lace on the brim velvet and ostrich plumes. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. The average man's second thoughts are the wisest. A bale full of cotton is certainly a baleful blessing. If you have a happy home keep it so; if not, make it so. Never dispute with a man more than 70 years of age or with a woman of any age. Some men never work harder than when they are doing useless things without pay. Don't wait until it begins to sprinkle before starting to lay up money for a rainy day. It's a great pity that the average man cannot draw a check as easily as he can draw an inference. A man should always wait for a lady to sit down before seating himself—unless there is only one chair in the room. A physician says a man should never do any work before breakfast. Of course this doesn't apply to the tramp who is compelled to work someone for his breakfast—Chicago News. The term of a United States senator is six years. The population of the earth doubles itself in 260 years. The finest shops in a Chinese city are those devoted to the sale of coffins. The only European country which has a lower death rate than England is Norway. The Swiss cabinet consists of seven members, each of which draws £480 per annum. A dealer in artificial limbs estimates that 300,000 Englishmen have lost one or both legs. More people are engaged in agriculture than in any other British industry. The tailors and shoemakers in Vienna are mostly of Bohemian descent. The cost of the extra session of the Michigan legislature, recently closed, was $17,000. The center of pressure of a body of water is at two-thirds the depth from the surface. Fort Ross in Sonoma county, California, was established by the Russians in 1811. The roots of the southern pine are often so resinous that they will burn like a torch, without splitting or drying. In writing poetry "tho" and "thro" are abbreviations of "though" and "through" and are recognized in phonetic spelling. During the present century 400 human lives, $125,000,000 and 200 ships have been lost in fruitless efforts to find the north pole. The military spirit aroused by our recent war shoys itself in dress by the form that ornaments take. Regimental buckles for waistbands are much in demand. THE TRUTH ABOUT FOOD. All foods are oxidized slowly in the body. The use of foods is followed by no reaction. All foods, being useful, are stored in the body. No medical men advise healthy persons to avoid food. People are universally advised to take food into the empty stomach. The young, developing individual is always advised to partake bountifully of food. All foods are products of constructive activity of protoplasm in the presence of abundant oxygen. The habitual use of a food never induces an uncontrollable desire for it in ever increasing amounts. After its habitual use a sudden total abstinence never causes any derangement of the central nervous system. A certain quantity will produce a certain effect at first, and the same quantity will always produce the same effect in the healthy body. All foods are formed by nature for nourishment and are by nature wholesome and always beneficial to the healthy body, though they may injure the body in certain phases of disease. The use of food is followed by an increase in the activity of the muscle and brain cells.—Winfield S. Hall, M. D., in Union Signal. SAYINGS OF BABES. "What's a famine, Tommy?" asked the Sunday school teacher of a small pupil. "It's a cob what ain't got no corn on it," replied the youthful philosopher. "I don't like our doctor," said small Bobby. "Why not?" asked his aunt. "Because," answered the little fellow, "I caught a cold bad enough to keep me out of school two weeks and the mean old doctor went and cured it in two days." "Mamma," said 5-year-old Nellie, "I'd like to ask your advice about something. "What is it, dear?" queried her mother. "After I get through school what would you advise me to do while I'm waiting to be married?" asked the little miss. Little 4-year-old Willie had been told repeatedly that he must never ask for anything at the table, but should wait patiently till he was served. One day while dining at a neighbor's with his mother the little fellow was accidentally overlooked. Patience finally ceased to be a virtue and in an audible whisper he said: "Mamma, do little boys go to heaven when they starve to death?" THE TRUTH ABOUT ALCOHOL. Alcohol is oxidized rapidly in the body. Alcohol, not being useful, is not stored in the body. All medical men advise healthy persons to avoid alcohol altogether. All connoisseurs advise people to avoid taking alcohol into the empty stomach. The use of alcohol, in common with narcotics in general, is followed by a reaction. Alcohol is a product of decomposition of food in the presence of a scarcity of oxygen. When used habitually it is likely to induce an uncontrollable desire for more in ever increasing amounts. The young, developing individual is always advised to abstain from alcohol. (See Atwater's Chicago address.) After its habitual use a sudden total abstinence is likely to cause a serious derangement of the central nervous system. A certain quantity will produce a certain effect at first, but it requires more and more to produce the same effect when the drug is used habitually.

The Magic Key to the Mystery of Life! From times immemorial it has been man's predominating ambition to prolong Life. But among the many brilliant minds, who have devoted their lives to the fascinating subject. It was left for the immortal Darwin to give to the world, in his great theory of Life, the fundamental principle upon which to build all further research in this direction. Following closely in his footsteps came Prof. Dr. Ludwig Buechner, a German scientist of international renown, with his remarkable work entitled "Das Buch des Langen Lebens" (the book on Longevity). But alas, like Darwin he too died, ere he could reap the fruit of his wonderful doctrine. Others however, equally great took up the interrupted thread with the result that two famous German scientists, after years of experiments and research, have at last discovered the secret of Longevity, in the shape of a remarkable Vegetable Compound, which, if properly used, will positively prolong Life. This new remedy, appropriately named "Longavita" (meaning Long Life) has been subject to the most rigid tests at all the leading clinics and hospitals throughout Europe with marvelous results. Appreciating the importance of this discovery, we have acquired, at enormous cost, the exclusive proprietary right to this truly wonderful preparation, which has proved a blessing to mankind. "Longavita" is the true Tablet of life, a rejuvenator excellence, embodying the veritable secret of longevity in a practical, feasible form. It is the fountain of perpetual youth, which it prolongs far beyond its present limits, while retaining health in a perfectly normal state. "Longavita" brightens the eye, stimulates mental activity, gives elasticity to the step, makes the face full, absorbs wrinkles, cleanses the system, purifies the skin, and is the only true Ponce de Leon remedy for old and young of both sexes.
