THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. THE FARCE OF FEDERATION. Considering the urgent need of money for the actual necessities of the worthy and unfortunate, the wonder grows that kindly and rational women will continue wasting club funds in the farce of federation. The methods which render futile a large part of the well-meant efforts of men's organizations have completely seized the clubs of women who consent to subject their ideal aspirations to the schemings of a self-interested few. The talk of "rings" was never rifer in any cabal of men politicians than during the recent meeting of the Illinois State Federation of Women's Clubs at Decatur. It may well be questioned whether such gatherings do any practical good beyond giving a little more money to the hotels and purveyors of the towns where the meetings are held. Nothing by way of abstract enlightenment is furnished which cannot be had more thoroughly and more authentically through better equipped agencies. Instead of polishing the deportment of the delegates reports indicate that crimination and recrimination, bickering, slander, jealousy and heartburnings are the chief results of these periodical reminiscences of the tower of Babel. Sectional politics entered the federated women's clubs of the country with the question of admitting delegates from clubs wholly or partly of women not exclusively white. Such a bigotry would be impossible in any other part of the civilized globe. White people who are civilized in Europe are wholly unconscious of color prejudice. When American women go to Paris, London, Vienna, Berlin, Dresden, they come into contact with blacks, yellows, browns and all shades between in hotels, transportation centers, railroad cars, steamboats. If anyone raised a question of prejudice the raiser would be deemed a lunatic. All colors will be found commingling in the best society of Europe and scarcely attracting attention to individuals on account of the hue of the If an American women inheriting color bigotry should undertake to display it at one of those social functions she would be promptly but courteously invited to withdraw. Her suggestion of color discrimination would be deemed insanity or impudence. The sectional politicians, vicarious and others, in the women's clubs of the country are wont to sneer at the American women free from color prejudice and to flout every attempt to obliterate it in the farce of federation. In the last biennial convention of the women's clubs at Milwaukee the sectional politicians ignominiously routed the unbigoted, among whom there was not one with parliamentary ability enough to get the question before the convention whose great majority are free from color bigotry. The campaign to prolong sectional politics in the farce of federation is already in full blast. In Minnesota it is shelved on the pretext that until the national federation decides the question it is improper for any club to decide it. In Illinois the sectional politicians are cohesive, adroit and unresting. They find various artifices for preventing the state federation from decisively acting upon the color question in the state of Abraham Lincoln and U. S. Grant. To the disinterested observer an excellent way of obliterating sectional politics from the national federation would be for all free from color bigotry to remain away from the next convention and let the color bigots flock all by themselves. Their sparse numbers and the limited aggregate of membership they would stand for would be a salutory disclosure of the truth that the women of the United States are not bigots as to creed, race or color. One experience of isolation with their expenses to pay out of their own paltry club treasuries would be convincing. For the unbigoted women to take part in another farce of federation to be ridden over with a parliamentary whip by the color bigots and the sectional politicians of the sex will be merely to give the color bigots and the sectional politicians another victory to the shame of American womanhood. But there will be artful pressure from the malign and the interested to induce the nonbigoted clubs to send delegates to Los Angeles so that the money required for the blennial farce will be forthcoming and not out of the pockets of the color bigots and the sectional politicians. Fresh interest is just added to the prospect of the next federation farce by the now undoubted ineligibility of a conspicuous American woman to sit as a delegate. Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt would be excluded by the credentials committee as promptly as any woman of color, for the President of the United States has had an educated man of color at the private table of the white house—Booker T. Washington. A sectional political organ pronounces the fact "the most damnable outrage ever committed by a President of the United States." Were such language to incite another Wilkes Booth to follow the example of Czolgosz civilization might deem the consequence a far more damnable outrage. Meanwhile the farce of federation of women's clubs encourages, by not dissipating, color bigotry.—The Chicago Chronicle. Some maintain that the Chronicle is not an organ of the Democratic party, but that is neither here nor there to us. Its editorials in favor of the rights of the Negro cannot be surpassed by any other newspaper in this city nor throughout the country. COMMENDS THE BROAD AX. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 20, 1901. Mr. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax. Dear Sir-In perusing the columns of your valuable paper I find in the first column a short biograhpical sketch of the said magnificent periodical. Please allow me to emphasize, with a few amendments, the latter clause of this biographical expression, which is headed "Still Looking Backward," expressing the aims and objects of your valuable paper to "broaden and enlighten the minds of the Afro-American," as I firmly believe it is your mission to not only elevate our brother in black to a high social standard in life, but to propogate a class of literature that will redound to the intellectual qualification of all mankind, to abolish a system which through the economic intrigue of capitalism compels all men who are subjects to wage tyranny to remain absolutely at the doors of want. Today we are at the topmost pinnacle of commercialism, and the trustification of wealth has undoubtedly displayed to all close observers the beautiful economic principals of co-operation. Now as society's needs under the present capitalistic system are produced collectively, if it was not for the stupidity of man we could collectively own all the means by which such necessities are produced and thereby abolish that system which exploits the real producer (the wage worker) of nine-tenths of his production, and by such a move we could completely exterminate the nonproducing class in the form of parasites of both ranks, the lean one who is the tramp and the round-bellied one who is the cupon-clipper and lives on the fat of the land. Both are leaches on the backs of the producing class. With this conclusion, Mr. Editor, allow me to also state that just as soon as the Afro-American can wake up to the realization that he is absolutely in the producing class and not the capitalist or nonproducing class and that he also, as well as the laboring white man, is subject to this economic oppression and that if he aspires to solve the Negro problem and to throw of the yoke of prejudice and contumely he must also realize the fact that his only hope lies in the ballot and not the bayonet, or the shovel. The Socialist party alone stands for the emancipation of the wage slaves and there is no hope in either the Republican, nor the Democratic party. Socialism does not stand for dividing up, killing of capitalists, assassination of presidents, burning Negroes at the stake, nor anarchy in any form, and you may think, then, perhaps it means a heaven on earth or that it is coming [Name] [Name not provided] EX-JUDGE THAMOS A.

Not so, Socialists propose to make the machinery and railroads, and all industries, the property of the whole people and stop paying an income to capitalists out of the labor of others; and to give a good living to every worker and every one unable to work; and that society collectively will be more able to then educate the people to goodness and not till then. Yours truly, R. T. SIMS. 5058 Wentworth avenue. GEORGE J. TERRELL'S PAL IS ACCUSED OF ROBBING MR. AND MRS. JOHN H. COPPAGE. A little over two weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. John H. Coppage, were made one in the spirit and in the flesh, and on that occasion they received many wedding presents, and before they had passed through their honeymoon they began house-keeping at 47th street and Armour avenue, and last Monday their home was entered by forcing the lock and the robber carried off all their wedding presents, including Mrs. Coppage's brand new wedding dress and all her other dresses, except the one which she wore at that time. Mr. Coppage lost his wedding suit and all his other clothing, their loss will amount to more than one hundred dollars. This same robber entered the flat next door to Mr. and Mrs. Coppage's, which is occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Collins, and Mr. Collins is minus his overcoat. Mrs. Coppage identified Daz. Brown, who is a warm pal of George J. Terrell, as the villain who lugged away her wedding dress and other things. Brown has been arrested and will have a hearing before Justice M. J. Quinn this morning. Thursday morning Terrell was moseying around the Hyde Park police station in the interest of Brown, but Justice Quinn, who does not like Terrell and his gang, would not let Terrell sign a straw-bond for the release of his friend Brown. Captain John J. Bradley is gaining new recruits and new ground every day in his campaign for alderman from the 30th Ward, and from the present outlook it looks as though the aldermanic fight will narrow down between Captain Bradley and Alderman C. J. Boyd. --- To our mind, Bishop Arnett is one of the most contemptible and ungrateful hypocrites that ever disgraced a bishop's robe. — The Times, Denver, Colo. O racy Demonstration in Forum Hall, oration the great jurist contended for eges to none, and self-government for FALL AND WINTER OPENING OF MOSSLER BROS.' BIG TAILORING ESTABLISHMENT. Within the confines of this great city there are many large merchant tailoring establishments, but none of them excell Mossler Bros.', which is the largest and most popular priced tailoring house in Chicago. Recently Mossler Bros., who have been in business in this city for many years, succeeded to the business of Arnheim, the tailor, corner of Clark and Monroe streets, and the fall and winter opening of Mossler Bros. on that corner, which was occupied by Arnheim for over 20 years, continues to attract attention from the many thousand people who pass by it every hour in the day. Many hundreds of the latest and the nobbiest designs and patterns of suitings, vestings, and trouserings, are displayed in the attractive windows of this big tailoring firm. Mossler Bros. employ none but first-class workmen and their fifteen dollar business suits and four dollar pantaloons are the best and the swellest in the city. Their fifteen and twenty dollar overcoats, like the rest of their goods are made to order in any style from the best of material, and they look very rich, dressy and fine, and good enough for first-class gentlemen. HARSH BUT TRUE. The Philadelphia North American in discussing the proposition that the right of free speech be abolished is a bit severe in its premises, although entirely level-headed in its conclusions, when it says: "Only a very extraordinary kind of fool can be made to believe that because a murderous wretch has taken the life of the President it becomes everybody's patriotic duty to cease criticising the trusts, cease discussing the problem of poverty and the dangers threatening the republic through the rapid growth of enormous fortunes which have their roots in monopoly." The Commoner. Alderman Thomas Carey says "that he does not want to become the chairman of the Democratic County Central Committee," but he is in favor of some good American for that position—some one who has plenty of time and money to devote to the cause of Democracy. NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTIONS. Laws Concerning Them. The decisions of the United tates Court on these subjects are interesting. 1. Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to renew their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send them until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the postoffice to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discontinued. 4. If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former address, they are held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take periodicals from the office or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it; otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice, with payment for all arrearages, is sent to the publisher. CHIPS. Justice John K. Prindiville, who has weighed out justice at the Harrison street station for many years, seems to be growing in favor for judge of the county court. Joseph Schran, and the big- or fatheaded boy, Frankhawk Murphy, are two dead ones, and they are so light, or thoroughly planted, that they will not be heard of when it comes to selecting a candidate for alderman next spring. Attorney D. J. McElherne, 1136 Unity Building, is being freely spoken of in connection with the nomination for one of the new judges of Cook County. Mr. McElherne stands well up in the law and he is in every way qualified to make an ideal judge. Apointing murderous Democrats to Federal positions may popularize President Roosevelt in Democratic circles for the time being, but it will not make many votes for the next national convention. The Republican, Seattle, Wash. Alderman W. F. Brennan, 12th Ward, will, unless all signs fail, be returned to the city council next spring. Alderman Brennan is made of the proper kind of clay, and he delights in looking efter the interests of all the people of his ward. "The American School" is Prof. M. M. Mangasarian's lecture Sunday morning. The professor begins to speak promptly at 11 o'clock, and by that time generally the Grand Opera House is crowded by those who are anxious to hear him. John Lyons, who was induced to make the run for alderman from the Third Ward in 1900, and who received a large vote from the colored voterr residing in that ward, is now serving as bailiff at the Harrison street station. Mr. Lyons discharges all his duties without fear or favor and he is well liked by all who come in contact with him. Joseph J. Healy, 436 W. 47th street, lately bought the building and ground upon which is located his sample room and restaurant. This shows that Mr. Healy knows how to rake in the sheckels and to do business on the square. Ex-Alderman John T. Russell, of the old 29th Ward, has cut loose from politics altogether, and he is now devoting all his time to his meat business. Alex I. Wyatt, 98 East Madison street, Hartford Building, is fast coming to the front as one of the leading jewelers and opticians in Chicago. Mr. Wyatt also carries a first-class stock of optical goods. Watches, and all kinds of jewelry repaired by No. 1 workmen at reasonable prices, and we invite the many readers of The Broad Ax to inspect Mr. Wyatt's extensive stock of diamonds, watches, rings and other jewelry. Last Saturday night the Tilden Democracy of the 31st Ward met at Corchan's Hall, and its members were addressed by lawyer Dear Morgan Smith Jr., James Toulmor for the Drainage Board and D. J. Mongerne, These eloquent speakers expounded the true principles of the old time Democracy to the entire satisfaction of all. This evening permanent officers will be chosen. Mr. John Breen, as in the past, will continue to ably preside over all future meetings. Mayor Carter H. Harrison, it would seem, is casting around for a first-class man to look after his political welfare, and with that object in view his honor has sought out City Clerk William Loeffler as his new manager, but Mr. Loeffler is no hog, and he does not want to become the supreme dictator of the Democratic party, but in company with other gentlemen he is willing to assist in helping to thoroughly reorganize the party, and cleanse it from one-man power. Mr. James O'Leary, 4183 South Halsted street, proposes to jump in and take a hand in the aidermanic contest in the 30th Ward, and if Mr. O'Leary makes up his mind to go after that prize in dead earnest all the other candidates will hunt their holes. Alderman Albert W. Bellfuss, 15th Ward, who refused the nomination for city treasurer last spring, is a consistent Republican. He does not believe that it is the best for any race of people to aline themselves solidly with either of the great political parties. Alderman Bellfuss is an admirer of The Broad Ax. The great storm which swept over the country on account of Prof. Booker T. Washington dining with President Roosevelt last week has about subsided. In the near future The Broad Ax may elaborate on that affair, but suffice it to say that lynching, mobbing., burning Negroes at the stake and disfranchising them by white Christians, will not cease, but will go bravely on regardless of the fact that Professor Washington was accorded the privilege of resting his feet under President Roosevelt's dinner table. Sunday night last the police from the Central Station swooped down upon Hank Logan's gambling establishment at 218 East Chicago avenue, and they nabbed on to fifteen colored men who were engaged in shooting craps. But the police who belong at the 50th street police station will not break up George J. Terrell's crap-joint at 47th street and Armour avenue, which means that they are in favor of crap-shooting and as far as Terrell is concerned he would rather spend his money with cheap or low white women and blow it in while frequenting tough bawdy-houses rather than pay the three dollars which he owes to The Broad Ax. Mrs. President Theodore Roosevelt has caused a great stir and flutter among the so-called fashionable society buds by declaring that any woman can dress well on $300 a year. Mrs. Roosevelt seems to be a very level-headed woman and it is well that she possesses the courage to raise her voice against the idea that the American women cannot be decent unless they spend many thousand dollars for new dresses each year. The craze for costly dresses and fine feathers among the women in this country has become so great within the last few years that many thousand women who want to pose as being respectable are willing to sell their virtue and prostitute themselves in order to obtain new dresses, broad rimmed hats and other tomfoolery. It is high time to call Will prosecute and at all times uphold the two principles of Democracy, but Farmers, Liberals, Protestants, Knights of Labor, Indians, Mormons, Republicans, Priests, or may he also can have their say, so long as their language is proper and responsibility is fixed.

The most ancient weapon was the club, and one blow with it in the hand of a vigorous wielder was usually enough to cause a knock-out. A New York policeman is the most expert modern handler of the weapon. Several stone-studded clubs, used by the lake dwellers of Switzerland, have recently been found in their ancient habitations. In a recent plea that Protestants and Catholics might join hands in Christian unity against the saloon, Archbishop Keane merely urges a principle of modern warfare.

The historic bell in St. John's Protestant Episcopal church, on North Beaver street, York, Pa., cracked from top to bottom when Sexton Householder started to toll it in memory of President McKinley. The bell was sent to the United States by a sister of George III in 1774 and for seventy years hung in the old courthouse in Center square, where the Continental Congress assembled after it had been driven from Philadelphia. The Talmud says there are four kinds of pupils: the sponge and the funnel, the strainer and the sieve. The sponge is he who taketh up everything, and the funnel is he who taketh in at this ear and letteth out at that; the strainer is he that letteth go the wine and retaineth the dross, and the sieve is he that letteth go the bran and retaineth the fine flour. The student who begins at least to wish to belong to the last-named class will not have been sent to college in vain. Lord Stanley of Alderly, England, has been giving some unique presents to his Anglesey tenants. To a number of bachelors not yet confirmed in their cellacy he has presented a piece of silk, with the injunction to hand it over to those whom they intend to marry. Bachelors who are considered hopeless have received consolation gifts, while one lady tenant has been presented with a handsome piece of silk because "she managed to catch one of the old bachelors." A naturalist desirous of studying the way of the viper could not do better than make a visit to the environs of Bar-le-Duc, Ligny-en-Barrois, Saint-Mihiel, France. The Figaro says that a countryman named Muller, of Ligny, brought to the Mairie abxte-five vipers, and a companion of his, twenty-two. Since the commencement of the year these two men have destroyed 940 of these dangerous little reptiles. A goodly number has been accounted for by a M. Jules Andre, of Saint-Mihiel, who "bagged" in the neighboring woods some ninety-three of these venomous little pests in one day. A school-teacher's education does not count for much unless she is strong enough to use it, so in Chicago candidates for teachers' places are very properly required to pass a physical examination. There was a fluttering in the normal schools when the rule was adopted, a year ago, it being feared that it would bar out some of the best students, but the first result was that it stimulated them to take proper care of their health.

As the men were clothed partly in sealskin, it was a very natural mistake. But the interest of the story lies in the generalization made by the bear. The bear said: "There are two or three seals, one standing up on its flippers in a very unusual way. I will therefore stalk them unseen as long as I can and when they see me pretend to be doing something else." So the men, with their guns and lances, who wanted to shoot the bear, had the pleasure of seeing him carefully crawling behind rocks and ice hummocks, making long detours this way and that, and every now and then clambering up a rock and peeping cautiously over to see if the seals had gone. On the open snow the bear would saunter off in another direction, and then, falling flat, push himself along on his belly with his great front paws covering his black muzzle, the only thing not matching the snow about him. Just as the bear thought he had got his "seal" the latter fired and shot him, a victim of false analogy.—The Spectator. Mrs. Dyer's Heart. McCarron, Mich., Oct. 21.—In April last the sensational case of Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer of this place was reported in these columns. Mrs. Dyer has suffered for years with a very bad case of Heart Trouble and was cured in a few weeks by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Since then Mrs. Dyer has received hundreds of inquiries as to her condition and many may be interested to hear that she is at present enjoying the best of health and has not had the slightest return of the Heart Trouble. Formerly she had to sit up in bed for hours to get relief; now she goes about as smartly as any lady of 62 years in the State, Dodd's Kidney Pills have made many friends in Chippewa County through their cure of Mrs. Dyer's case, and have proven beyond doubt that their cures are not only very complete, but absolute and permanent. 1 Early Vermont Barred Circuses.

Taylor, a Petite Beauty of Whom the City of the Straits Is as Proud as Can Be—Fond of Life on the Plains. (Special Letter.) Miss Lillian B. Taylor of Detroit, Mich., is a very remarkable young woman, who prefers to summer on a Western ranch instead of at a fashionable resort, and who shoots bears and kills rattlesnakes in place of playing golf, to pass away the time. Miss Taylor's father owns a ranch in Montana, near Butte, and thither the young lady hied herself early in June, as she has been in the habit of doing for several summers past. She is a devotee of horseback riding, and one morning soon after her arrival at the ranch, while taking her constitutional, she found that the big traps had closed over a huge bear, who was growling and roaring in pain. Miss Lillian always carries her rifle when out on horseback, and as she neared the monster and viewed the situation, she raised her rifle, took good aim, and let fly a bullet that did the work without delay. Bruin gave one dying groan, and rolled over, a dead bear. The beast measured six feet in length. Miss Taylor keeps her eye on the traps from day to day, and later she shot another bear, not quite so large. shot another bear, not quite so large. Miss Taylor is passionately fond of the wild, free life of the ranch. She is a splendid shot and a superb horsewoman. She has owned a pony since she was 5 years of age, and her friends recall the times when she used to hitch up the pony, the cow, and the dog, tandem, and drive them about the back yard of her Detroit home. She rides horseback astride, wearing divided skirts, a red wool sweater and a wide-brimmed fedora hat. She is a blonde, small in stature, strong, athletic, bright and healthy. When she comes home to Detroit she avoids social functions, and loves rather to mount her horse and speed away on the boulevard. She is fond of reading and cares little for the companionship or admiration of the opposite sex. But let it not be thought that Miss Taylor lacks womanly accomplishments. On the contrary, she is an unusually fine pianist and her instructor ] LILLIAN B. TAYLOR declares that she promises to be a prodigy in this line. So acute is her ear for melody, and so deft her fingers to imitate, that her teacher refuses to play a new piece of music for her, lest she immediately play it back again for him-by ear, neglecting the necessary study. Miss Taylor also adds to her accomplishments that of figure skating. It is as natural for her to glide over the ice like a bird on the wing as it is for the average young society woman to dance to the strains of the alluring waltz. Such an adept is this young lady in the art of managing the steel shoes that her former instructor said that he would like to take her to New York and see her skate against the prize winners at the rinks in that city. There is hardly a figure imaginable that she cannot cut upon the ice, and a very pretty picture she makes, as with reddened cheeks, sparkling eyes and hair wind-blown, she glides over the ice. She is what her friends call "a natural skater," and really seems to inherit the art, if one may be said to do so, as her mother, Mrs. Taylor, and her mother's sister, Mrs. Davis, are among the best skaters in that vicinity. To Tell Time by Sight Some Boston people are much interested in a project to establish a system of recording time by means of flashing lights on the dome of the state house. The plan is to automatically turn off a certain number of lights at one second before the hour and turn them on again one second after the hour. At every succeeding ten minutes a smaller number of lights would be turned off, and then on again. Presumably some indication of the quarter hour and half hour would also be given, perhaps by turning on colored lights in certain combinations. The effect would, of course, be pretty and less troublesome than the jangling of chimes at every quarter, as is done in some cities, especially abroad. At one time cats were worshiped in Egypt, and even now the people there are very fond of them and would not hurt them. When Cambyses, king of Persia, conquered Egypt, one of his generals won a battle in the strangest way. He procured a cat for each of his soldiers. The men held their cats before them as they went into battle. The Egyptians dared not attack them for fear of injuring the cats, which was forbidden by their religion. Andrew Carnegie's Wife Is a Charming Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, the wife of the great steel magnate, is a very charming, vivacious and model woman, but is averse to publicity. She has a horror of the interviewer and prefers to be regarded merely as the mistress of Skibo castle rather than as a person of public interest. A good story is told of the devotion in which her husband regards her. A pretty little custom which Mrs. Carnegie adopts at her dinner parties is to put into a small silk bag slips of paper bearing the names of all the ladies present. Then, just before dinner is announced, she carries the bag round to all the male guests and each "dips" for his partner at table. One evening Mr. Carnegie "drew" his wife. His boyish delight was immense. Holding the slip of paper so that all the company could see the name inscribed thereon, he playfully invited the men to make bids for it and the honor of "taking down" Mrs. Carnegie. Presently he grew serious. "The offer is withdrawn," he said. "My luck is too precious." It was also at one of these pleasant little gatherings that the conversation turned upon the desirability or otherwise of an Anglo-American alliance. Mrs. Carnegie raised the question of what would be the most suitable flower as a binational emblem. Mrs. Carnegie is a clever photographer, but whether she agrees with a remark her husband made on her art is not known. "A great thing, this instantaneous photography," said the laird of Skibo. "One has not time to look his very worst." Mrs. Carnegie is 20 years younger than her husband. He did not marry until late in life and after the death of his mother, to whom he was greatly attached. There is a daughter, a winsome little miss, in whose name Skibo was purchased. DESICCATED VEGETABLES. Dried Garden Truck Will Be Used by Uncle Sam's Soldiers. Desiccated vegetables are coming on the market, for use especially by prospectors and hunters, who are obliged to economize every ounce in the weight of the provisions they carry. Necessity compels them to select such foods as combine the maximum of nutriment with the minimum of bulk and avoid dupois. This implies water-free substances, and dried fruits and vegetables are especially adapted for the purpose. Of late the War Department has been experimenting with products of this kind; it has found them wholesome and in all respects desirable, and is likely to use them largely in future years. White potatoes, carrots and sweet potatoes have been found particularly available for desiccation. The sweet potatoes are cut up into little cubes, while the white potatoes and carrots are sliced. When wanted for use, they have to be soaked in water before cooking them; as sold, they are supposed to be absolutely water free. What a saving in weight and bulk they represent will be realized when it is understood that fresh white potatoes contain 80 per cent of water and fresh carrots 90 per cent. Experiments have proved that the drying process causes no loss of nutriment and that the product furnishes a most valuable addition to the food of people who are unable to get fresh vegetables. The desiccated white potatoes are as rich in muscle-forming element as the best wheat flour, though consisting mainly of the starchy material which is so useful as fuel for the body machine. The same thing may be said of the carrots and sweet potatoes; but a notable fact is that dried eastern vegetables are richer in starch and poorer in muscle-forming material than those grown in California. On good authority soldiers like best to be officered by gentlemen, but they have their choice of the type. Of the right kind was General Crawford, the leader of the Light Division. An incident in his career during one of the Wellington wars shows him to have been rich in that justice which commands respect from equals and loyalty from inferiors; in a word, he kept discipline without regard to rank. His divisions was crossing a ford on one of the Spanish marches, and an officer, to keep his breeches dry, rode through on a soldier's back. Crawford observed the thing with disgust, and in a minute was splashing through the water after them both. "Put him down, sir!" he shouted. "Put him down! I desire you to put that officer down instantly!" The soldier dropped his burden and went on. "Return back, sir," Crawford said to the officer, "and go through the water like the others. I will not allow my officers to ride upon the men's backs through the rivers; all must take their share alike."—Youth's Companion. One of the most attractive features of Swedish life to strangers is the politeness of the children. As soon as a boy is able to stand on his legs he is taught to make a bow and to shake hands, and a little girl must be able to make a bob courtesy before she has learned to talk. As soon as the right hand is known from the left it must be offered in greeting or when a gift or favor has been received, and one of the first words learned by the children after "papa" and "mamma" is "tack," the Swedish term for thanks. It is heard more frequently than any other word in the language. The king of Koumania is personally interested in a plan to educate his people by the establishment of theaters in every town in his kingdom. P F L E Mrs. Kate Berg, Secretary Ladies' Auxiliary of Knights of Pythias, No. 58, Commercial Hotel, Minneapolis, Minn., After Five Years Suffering Was Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "DEAR MRS. PINKHAM:—Whatever virtue there is in medicine seems to be concentrated in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I suffered for five years with profuse and painful menstruation until I lost flesh and strength, and life had no charms for me. Only three bottles of your Vegetable Compound cured me, I became regular, without any pains, and hardly know when I am sick. Some of my friends who have used your Compound for uterine and ovarian troubles all have the same good word to say for it, and bless the day they first found it."—MRS. KATE BERG. $5000 FORFEIT IF THE ABOVE LETTER IS NOT GENUINE. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful menstruation, weakness, leucorrhoea, displacement or ulceration of the womb, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation of the ovaries, backache, bloating (or flatulence), general debility, indigestion, and nervous prostration, or are beset with such symptoms as dizziness, faintness, lassitude, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "allgone" and "want-to-be-left-alone" feelings, blues, and hopelessness, they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write her for advice. She has guided thousands to health. Address Lynn, Mass.

Before the war broke out, Dr. and Mrs. Beddy went to New York, the former to take special training and the latter to continue her musical education. Then, with the war came loss of property, and Dr. Beddy concluded to remain and practice in this country.

Paterson, New Jersey Has an Unavailble Reputation — Prepaganda of the Gospel of Hate — Building in Which Meetings Are Held. There are more professed anarchists in Paterson than in any other city in the United States. The "silk city" of New Jersey is the capital of all the "reds" in the country—the seat of a kind of university for the training of regicides. Here Bresci, the assassin of King Humbert, was trained and when the assassin's knife sank into the breast of Empress Elizabeth of Austria, the secret service bureaus of Europe sent extra men to Paterson as the fountain source of anarchy. It is in Paterson that La Question Sociale, the leading organ of anarchy in this country, is published, and to its columns the notorious Emma Goldman, the inspirer of the demon Czolgosz, contributes incendiary articles. This crime-luciting paper is published in the rear of the top floor at 355 Market street, and here may be found its editor and the leader of 3,500 Italians, who comprise the local society known as the Right to Existence. The editor is a Spaniard, Pedro Esteve, the most pronounced anarchist in the land. "Killing a King," this man said after the assassination of King Humbert, "makes people think. We want to exterminate evils by force. We never consider consequences. We are opposed to government, which means political tyranny. We do not believe in religion, laws, or individual ownership of property." Under the tutelage of Esteve men ``` 355 MARKET STREET. are trained in the business of assassination and from Paterson they go forth as propagandists of the gospel of hate. In the rooms on the top floor where the paper is published the anarchists hold their principal meetings. Here they gather to approve and gloat over the murder of king or president and to lay plans for future assassinations. Should an officer or suspicious person be present the meeting resolves itself into a political affair which discusses conditions in Italy, but with none save the faithful around anarchy and assassination are the subjects. Experience of a Young Actress. A story is being told by English actors regarding a recent experience of a young actress, Miss Delavelle Barrington, who was playing at the old Mary Street theater, Cork. The heroine of the play has to jump into the Mississippi, but when Miss Barrington reached the rocky eminence from which she had to leap she saw there was no mattress below to receive her. Also the ledge of rock in front of the supposed river was too low to conceal the actress after her leap. Miss Barrington, however, nothing daunted, took her leap, and came down with a thud on the bare stage. The situation struck a member of the "gods," for a stentorian voice called out, "Oh, be jabbers, tis frozen!"—Chicago News. Bighost of Waterfalls. The highest waterfall in the world, geography tells us, is the Cerosola Cascade, in the Alps, having a fall of 2,400 feet; that of Arvey in Savoy, is 1100 feet and the falls of Yosemite Valley range from 700 to 1,000 feet. But higher yet is the waterfall in the San Cuayatan Canon, in the State of Durango, Mexico. It was discovered by some prospectors, ten years ago, in the great barranca district, which is called the Tierras Desconocidas. While searching for the famous lost mine, Naranjal, a great roar of water was heard. With great difficulty the party pushed on, and up and down the mighty chasms until they beheld the superb fall that is at least 3,000 feet high.—Land of Sunshine. "I tell you," the sprightly passenger in the pepper-and-salt suit was saying, "there is nothing like get up and hustle. I hustle. If business doesn't come to me I go out and hunt it. Yesterday I made nearly $11 repairing sewing machines. Had six jobs I can afford to take a holiday once in a while." "Well," slowly replied the passenger in the suit of sombre black, "I'm not so good on the hustle. I've had only one job in the last six months." "That's too bad," returned the other sympathizingly. "What's your occupation?" "Building Lighthouses."—Chicago Trib- Drastic Terms for Traction Company. In Berlin the street railway company is required to grant a ten hour day to its employees, to provide waiting-rooms properly warmed and lighted, and, from January, 1901, to fix a uniform fare of 2.38 cents for the whole length of the line, both within and without the city. The city receives $ per cent of the gross profits plus half the net profits over 12 per cent on old capital and 6 per cent on new capital. At the end of the year 1919 the lines and rolling stock will become city property. These terms are drastic, Indeed; yet the citizens are not satisfied, and additional lines are now planned.
