The Broad Ax

PRESIDENT THEO. ROOSEVELT IN HIS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS FAILED TO CONDEMN MOB Monday, Dec. 2, both branches of the United States Congress convened in regular session, and the day following President Roosevelt's first message was read for the benefit of that national body of law-makers. In some respects it is a very remarkable document; it is extremely lengthy and it covers all subjects which effect on which may effect the welfare of all the American people, except mob and lynch law and the disfranchisement of the Negro by the people residing in most of the Southern States. The first question discussed by the President is "Anarchy," and in the discussion of that great subject many of his propositions are unsound. He maintains that Anarchists "are highwaymen; that no man, or body of men, preaching anarchistic doctrines should be allowed at large any more than if preaching the murder of some specified private individual. Anarchistic speeches, writings and meetings are essentially seditious and treasonable." We are not defending anarchy or anarchists, but we do believe in free speech as long as the person does not advocate violence or murder, like Ben Tillman. President Roosevelt would have conferred a great blessing upon humanity if he had only admonished Tillman to refrain from preaching anarchy, the shot-gun policy and murder, in the American House of Lords, commonly called the United States Senate. But Tillman and his followers, who favor murdering and burning Negroes at the stake, are considered as Christians by President Roosevelt, while those who favor free speech are looked upon by him as anarchists. Much taffy is thrown at the trust kings in his message. He is of the opinion that in some cases the trusts are a great evil, that they inflict many hardships on the people; but now that they are here to stay the people will have to make the best of their very bad bargain. The immigration laws, the tariff, reciprocity, money and the revenues; inter-state commerce, agriculture, preservation of forests, arid lands, our insular possessions, Porto Rico Cuba, the Philippines, treatment of the Indians, and as before stated, many other subjects receive his attention; but in reading his long message line for lien we failed to find one line wherein President Roosevelt had one word to say in condemnation of mob and lynch law or other forms of lawlessness as displayed against the Negro; possibly he thought that by dining with Prof. Booker T. Washington was sufficient to express his disapproval of mob and lynch law and the disfranchisement of the Negro. No one who has the true conception of liberty and freedom, can consistently uphold or adhere to the policy which President Roosevelt has planned or mapped out for the Filipinos. The idea of the people of this government or their chosen leaders laboring under the halucinations that they are amply able and qualified to govern the Filipinos, who reside ten thousand miles away from the base of government and mis-govern ten million people who are scattered close around its base is preposterous and sublimely ridiculous. Whenever President Roosevelt and his fellow citizens (white) acquire the art of dealing humanely with the Indians and refrain from treating ten million loyal Afro-American citizens as escaped convicts, then we will be prepared to believe that the so-called masterful race has advanced to that degree of intelligence and civilization to enable it to prescribe the proper form of government for the Filipinos. One hundred years hence, or when the American people cease hugging to their breasts the spirit of commercialism, industrialism, militarism and imperialism—when they give up the idea of becoming a great world power, by robbing and plundering weaker races or nations out of their lawful or rightful possessions—then they will be able to arrive at the conclusion that Presi- dent Roosevelt's first message is full of jingoism, that it does not surpass the messages and state papers which have come down to the true Americans from the pens of the illustrious Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. THAT SOUTHERN POLICY George R. Koester, the South Carolina democrat, who was recently appointed collector of internal revenue for that state to succeed Co. E. A. Webster (deceased) is charged with openly boasting of having fired the first shot at an Afro-American who had been strung to a tree by a mob of lynchers, citizens of Columbia. He does not deny having been one of the lynchers in question and in addition to this fact has anything but a good record. The republicans of South Carolina have appealed to President Roosevelt to withdraw Koester's appointment, and say that if this is not done, they will antagonize his confirmation in the United States senate when it convenes. We trust they will do so. Two leading white republicans by the names of Clayton and Huggins, men of excellent character and standing, the latter first deputy under Co. Webster, were urged as the latter's successor by the republican organization of South Carolina. Both gentlemen are above the average criticism of either the republican or democratic press of that state, and there is no reason in the world for Koester's appointment, except that the president in his blind determination to follow the southern policy of the McKinley administration, is also determined to continue to turn down loyal blacks and white republicans of the South, and particularly that state. There are, as we have said many times before, an abundance of splendid material in the ranks of the black and white republicans of the south from which to fill every position at the command of the president. The republican party will never be made respectable in the eyes of the voters of the south by the appointments of democrats to offices which should be filled by deserving republicans. Therefore there is absolutely no excuse for the co-called southern policy of the last and present national administration, except that it is the intention to build up a white republican party at the south and subordinate or exclude the long-suffering, true and tried black republicans of that section. If this be the case, the northern Afro-American cannot understand it too quickly, and take such action as will redound to their ceremonial credit and establish or re-establish, in the minds of the powers that be, their sterling manhood and thorough race interest.—Ex. The Plainleader of Topeka, Kan., in its issue of Nov. 22, reproduced from the Columbia South Carolina State, a full account of George R. Koester's connection with the killing of two negroes by the names of Thompson and Preston, it appears that Koester fired the first shot into Thompson's body, that he was the leader of the red-handed gang of murderers who rode twenty miles in order to capture Preston and Koester was the first to suggest that Preston be dealt with the same as Thompson. Koester was the first highly civilized Christian to fire shots into Preston's dangling body who was followed by more than one hundred Christian savages. Thompson and Preston after being horribly tortured died declaring that they were both innocent of any wrong doing. With this bloody record before him Koester's appointment as collector of internal revenues for South Carolina, was approved by Prof. Booker T. Washington. In connection with the fact that Booker T. Washington recently dined with the president, it is recalled that during Mr. Cleveland's first administration the late Frederick Douglas was invited to one of the congressional receptions, together with his caucasian wife, then his bride. And John C. Prown, the democratic governor of Tennessee, as far back as 1873, when he gave a banquet at the Maxwell house, Nashville, had among the invited guests on that occasion Sampson Keebie, the negro representative from Davidson county, who not only attended the banquet, but responded to a toast. HEW TO THE LINE. ATTACK A GIRL IN NEGRO GUISE. Friends of Miss Langstone, Prominent Columbia, S. C., Nov. 29.—Two young men attacked Miss Langstone, a prominent society girl, in her home. A neighbor, Clarence Babb, saw the men fleeing when she screamed. He shot at them and brought down Henry S. Sullivan, a friend of the Langstone family, disguised as a Negro. Sullivan is not seriously injured and is locked up.-The Chicago American. Within the last four months five white men residing in the various parts of the South have been detected or caught in the act of outraging their white female friends and associates, while disguised as Negroes. These cases prove what we have maintained all along that there are hundreds of white men throughout the South, who have nothing to boast of except their white skin, who have for many years resorted to the damnable practice of blackening themselves up as Negroes in order to gratify their beastly and lustful passions upon their own female relatives and friends and then charge the crime or the crimes up to the Negro race. But it is nothing new in this or in those acts for any race of people that will deliberately sell their own flesh and blood in order to wax fat and rich, its members are prepared for the commission of any and all crimes against their friends, their fellow-men and against society. It is useless to state that if Sullivan was a Negro he would not have lived long enough to go to jail, but he would have been mobbed and lynched in less time than it takes to tell the story, or if Sullivan had succeeded in escaping by this time many innocent Negroes would have been shot down by the so-called friends of Miss Langstone. One thing is certain, that is, if Prof. Booker T. Washington wants to be known as the true leader of the Negro race it is his solemn duty to cause a thorough investigation to be made of every case of rape which occurs in the south, in so far as the Negro is concerned, for if he does not take this course the Negro race will be forever blasted in this country. Many people would contribute money to aid Prof. Washington in this direction. It is his further duty to adhere to the truth as to the moral relations of the whites and blacks though the heavens fall. He should not hesitate in letting the world know that in Louisiana over two thousand white men, leaders of the best society, are right now maintaining or living with Negro women as their mistresses; that in Alabama and in the other Southern states the same condition of affairs exists; that 90 per cent. of all the bastard children born to Negro women in the South have white fathers; that these same men are ever ready to mob, lynch, burn, murder and otherwise torture the first Negro who happens to look cross-eyed at a white woman. Last summer, while we were engaged in fightinig Messrs. Burke and Eldred, for the money, which they owed us, Joseph Schran, who has never contributed five or ten cents as his subscription to The Broad Ax, sent word to us through G. W. Hardy, demanding or ordering us to stop fighting his political bosses. We requested Mr. Hardy, to infor Joe Schran, that "inasmuch as he had never put up any of his money as a legitimate subscription to our Ax, that we did not thank him for his advice that If he did not want us to fight Messrs. Burke and Eldred, let him go down in his pocket and pay us the $65, which was coming to us." But he did not put up any of the $65, and after he thought he had the right to dictate to us how to run our business, we took one or two warm shots at him, then he wanted to know of us, what had he ever done to us, we simply responded, nothing, and went about our business and before Joseph Schran dies, he may learn that all Negroes do not look and act alike. The colored Catholics of Boston, Mass, are to build a church. TWO DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEES IN COOK COUNTY. Several months ago The Broad Ax said that "warm timies were in store for the Democratic party of this city and county," and Monday, last, our predictions came true, on the afternoon of that day, Chairman Thomas Gahan, and many members of the committee endeavored to enter the Democratic headquarters, but they were prevented from doing so by Robert E. Burke, who had an iron gate and railing erected across the entrance leading to the headquarters. After Messrs. Gahan, Hopkins, Loeffler, Sullivan, Powers and others were refused admittance to the committee rooms, they repaired to the Sherman House, where the followers of Mr. Gahan, who as chairman had the right to preside over the meeting held at Democraticocratic eadquarters, nominated and elected the following ticket: Thomas Gahan, chairman; John Powers, William Loeffler, Harry Hildreth, John Farley, and John E. itzgerald, vice presidents; Thomas J. Dawson, secretary; Thomas F. Scully, treasurer, and Joseph Strauss sergeant-at-arms. In the meantime Robert E. Burke held two meetings at which Thomas Carey, was chosen as chairman John J. Hayes; John J. Coughlin, and John J. Brennan vice presidents; Robert E. Burke, secretary, Fred E. Eldred, treasurer, and Wm. G. Korth, sergeat-at-arms; Thomas Gahan, and his friends intend to contest every inch of ground and the fight between the two factions will be carried into the courts for settlement, and some mighty interesting developments are in store for the leaders of Democracy. Alderman Charles J. Boyd was on Wednesday evening elected Regent of Dexter Council, No. 1020, of the Royal Arcanum. County Commissioner Rollin B. Organ, is rusticating in New Orleans, La. He will be absent from the city until Monday or Tuesday. Thursday evening, Dec. 12, Mrs. Maud Thompson Jones, 3610 Dearborn street, the popular songstress, entertains the Buffalo Whist Club. Mrs. R. E. Akins, 4026 Cottage Grove avenue, did herself proud Thursday night while entertaining eighteen members of the Buffalo Whist Club. Denney J. Reirdon, who is one of the old wheel horses of Democracy of the Town of Lake, has launched his aldermanic boom in the 30th ward. Two-thirds of the "upper-ten" Negroes never support a Negro newspaper, or any other kind of negro enterprise, except with lots of jawbone gab, etc.—Ex. Joseph A. Swift, President of the Tilden Democracy of the 29th ward, continues to grow in favor for the nomination as one of the commissioners of Cook County next year. Capt. Petty, of New Orleans, La., arrived in Chicago from the South last week. The Captain is a lawyer by profession and he is thinking of locating u the city, he is an old friend of Col. P. F. Moseley. Col. John F. Waters, Kidzie buildingig, has spent the last three months in New York City, but he returned home.last Monday morning. The Colonel greatly enjoyed his trip east and he is looking well and hearty. George C. Callahan, Esq., of George C. Callahan & Co., 217 South Water street, commission merchants, is being freely mentioned as one of the best business men to nominate as one of the new commissionsers of Cook Co. The Eagle, of Kempsville, Ala., reproduced our comment on the death of Leon F. Czolgost, without crediting it up to The Broad Ax, or exchange Brother Eagle, thou must not steal, for don't you know it is unprofessional to do so. Ex-Judge William M. Plummer, who lived in Fargo, N. D., for many years, has been a resident of this city since 1894, and he is engaged in the typewriter business in the Stock Exchange Building, and so far he himself, his two sons and his handsome and loveable daughter, are all meeting with the greatest success. Col. B. F. Moseley says, "he is not guilty of wanting to turn the dance held at Mr. and Mrs. Hardy's into a cakewalk. That is all right, Colonel, we believe you. It is almost time for anarchist and rattle-bralned Ben Tillman, who is not worth powder and lead enough to blow him into eternity, to deliver another harangue in the United States Senate in opposition to the amalgamation of the two races in the South. E. E. Hazen, Esq., President of the Castoria Company, 531 Wabash avenue, is a strong Republican, but he is no politician, he devotes all his time to business, and his company are shipping their goods to all parts of the world. Ex-Judge William Prentiss lectures at Elgin, Ill., in the People's Church Sunday evening, Dec. 15, 1901. Subject: "Does It Pay to Be Rich." Judge Prentiss is an orator of pre-eminent ability and his theme cannot help from being interesting. Mr. Alfred R. Urion, head of the law department of Armour & Co., is kept very busy from morning until night, but with all his labors Mr. Urion, at his lovely home, 106 East 40th street, finds time each Sunday evening to peruse The Broad Ax. Attorney C. J. Waring and Lawyer W. L. Martin indulged in a rough and umble fight Tuesday in the hallway of the Crinimal Court Bldg. Martin drew his revolver, but Waring ran in to him, threw him down on the floor where they wrestled with each other like two big bull dogs. Mr. Louis Leubrie, head of the advertising department of the great merchandising house of Siegle, Cooper & Co., is one of the slickest business men in Chicago. Mr. Leubrie knows how to pat the newspaper boys on the back which makes them feel good, while he is getting the best of the bargain. Prof. William M. Salter commences a course of lectures Sunday morning in Steinway Hall, Ethical Culture Society, on "The Great Teachers Outside of Christianity." Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher and author of the "Golden Rule" is his subject for Sunday morning, Dec. 8. Hon. Thomas A. Smyth was elected president of the Drainage Board Tuesday, last, and Mr. Smyth, is the right in the right place. Frank X. Cloidt, was chosen as vice-president; Fred M. Blount, treasurer; John S. Runnells, general counsel; James Todd, attorney; Isham Randolph, chief engineer; A. R. Porter, chief clerk; Edward Coen, marshall; Trustees, Carter Baker, Legner, and Cloidt, were placed at the head of the most important committees. The Hardwick bill providing for the disfranchisement of the Negro, was killed in the house of Representatives of Georgia lately by a vote of 113 to 17. "De sun do moe." This is the second attempt to annex Georgia to the disfranchising propaganda.—Fx The majority of the Democratic members of the Legislature of Georgia, concluded not to adhere to Prof. Bocker T. Washington's idea of depriving the Negro of the right to vote. Joseph W. Houston, who has charge of the police station at North Halsted and Addison streets, does not put on as much style as the majority of the other colored Democrats of this city. But Mr. Houston, who is hard-wonking and as honest as they make them, is ever ready to cheerfully pay his subscription to The Broad Ax, and from the time it first appeared to the present Mr. Houston has willingly paid out his money towards its support. The Broad Ax seems to be using its ax in trying to hew Booker T. Washington down. But, now that Booker has a start up the hill, let him go. He will make way for someone else to follow.—The Times, Sedalia, Mo. The Broad Ax is not endeavoring to do anything of the kind to Prof. Booker T. Washing, friend Times, but "you know that Prof. Washington maintains "that it makes all the Negroes stronger by kicking and cuffing them about." If this is truth then Professor Washington should not object to taking a dose of his own medicine. Prof. Nathaniel Schmidt, of Cornell University, N. Y.; addressed the Ethical Culture Society last Sunday morning on "Tolstol." The professor was at his best and his highly instructive lecture left a deep impression upon the minds of those who heard him. He is full of the new thought and his philosophy is full of love and broad enough to cover each and every individual belonging to the human race. The Cook County Colored Democracy held its annual meeting Sunday at Democratic headquarters, 145 East Randolph street. H. C. Carter was reelected president; C. L. Hill, first vicepresident; W. A. Johnson, secretary; L. W. Washington, financial secretary; George J. Woods, treasurer; Friday S. Moore, sergeant-at-arms; Gambler Jackbat Terrell, marshall; S. A. T. Watkins, member of the central committee. Just as the meeting broke up John Jennings drew his big gun on Billie Pyper, so we have been informed, as we did not and would not think of attending any of the meetings. Alderman John Powers, will serve another year as President of the County Democracy; Robert E. Burke, as secretary; J. H. Brunjes, James J. Gray and T. E. Ryan, vice-presidents; M. C. McDonald, treasurer; A. J. Sabath, financial secretary; Marshall James H. Farrell; John G. Hoeger, quartermaster; L. G. Matalene, assistant quartermaster; J. Dullard, sergeant-at-arms; W. J. O'Brien, F. J. Solon, J. J. Ward, J. C. Dooley, Thomas Fitzgerald, Miles J. Devine, Thomas J. Powers, Walter V. Magnus, J. H. McCarthy, John H. Sullivan and Fred. E. Eldred members of the executive committee. S. D. Fowler, who ran the Church Visitor for a while and then let it fizzle out, and who always looks as though he is ready and willing to take wings and fly to heaven; D. P. Webster, who is of the opinion that he has been called by God to pound the blble or preach the gospel, and the other members of the committee, appointed by Saint Watkins of the South End Sunday Club, have decided to hold off and not attempt to do anything to improve the moral condition in and around the Rev. J. W. Robinson's stamping ground. Fowler and Webster do not want to take any steps to close up the four policy shops which are located not very far from St. Mark's Church, for the reason that they are afraid of offending some of its members. They are also opposed to suppressing three-dollar gambling brickbat Terrell's Hy Henry prayer meeting, cheap crap-shooting, gambling and dancing club, because they think it would cut off some of the revenue from the club or church, and aid The Broad Ax to collect its three dollars from Terrell. "Her chief subsistence for the last two years was brown sugar and cold water," is reported of a woman 100 years old. "For the last thirty years she subsisted entirely on potatoes," is related of an old lady of 110. A woman of 105 "lived chiefly on flour provisions" during the last forty years of her life. A man 103 "was never known to drink anything but buttermilk," and another, 116, "was never known to drink a draught of pure water." An Englishman 101, "lived chiefly on vegetable diet and drank frequently of the famous rock water of Llandriddod." "He ate nothing but bread made of Turkey wheat and constantly abstained from wine and tobacco," is said of a man of 114, while of another, 116, it is written that "his supper for forty years was roasted turnip." A Philadelphia, 103, "lived on very solid food, drank tea in the afternoon, but ate no supper." "His diet for the last twenty years was milk and biscuit," is reported of a man 116 years old; another, 103. "for the last forty years subsisted entirely on bread, milk and vegetables." "Herb teas were his breakfast; meat plainly dressed his dinner," is recorded of another who abstained from suppers and survived until 101.

Don’t you try to back out. When we were here before you backed out, but I’m not going to let you back out this time.

What on earth do you mean? ‘There it is,’ he said to the justice, still holding me and pretending to pull me toward the door; “that’s the way she does; we were up here before, and she backed out.

The Sho- gun's palace was reduced to ashes, and the prisons were opened on condition that their inmates should return after the fire was subdued. They never came back, for their mad rush for a place of safety was interpreted by the warder of the city gate as an attempt at escape. He closed the gate when he saw them coming, and they, to- gether with others, were either tram- pled to death or perished in the con-. fiagration. In the great fire of 1772 the flames left behind them a track 15 miles by two and a half from the southwest outskirts of the city to Be- yey * i | aN Ves OLD STYLE JAPANESE FIREMAN. yond its northeast boundary; and in 1806 a fire which originated in ths southern extremity covered in 2% hours an area of nearly six miles in Jength and half a mile in width.

Ail the same she divided the apples so as to give each child the same number. How did she do it?

So the puzzled teacher finally asked: “Well, how did siw divide the seven apples so as to give each of the eight children an equal number?” “She made apple sauce.”— Youth's Companion. A PICTURESQUE FIGURE. ‘The Lap Womes Very Clever in Man- aging the Reindeer. The Lap women who live in Alaska are proving themselves exceedingly valuable by their aptness in the man- agement and care of the reindeer and they are now teaching the native Alas- kan art, if such it may be called. There are about a dozen reindeer stations Row established in Alaska and more to follow. The natives are required to servé an apprenticeship of several years at the reindeer staticns. During this time they are practically taught how to manage the deer and the mak- ing of sledges and reindeer harness. After the expiration of their service the government allows each a number of deer as his own personal property. The total number of reindeer in Alas- ka at present is 3,500, of which some 2,000 have been distributed to the Es- kimos. The average Lap woman is a pic- turesque figure. She is generally young and robust, and ten chances to one bas an infant in her characteristic Lapland cradle, which is hewn out of @B0ljd log and carried on the back by W%trap. The wife of the chief herder is one of the most noted women of the colony. She is very intelligent, and her particular duty is to teach the Es- kimo women the art of making rein- deer clothing, which is the warmest ee ern tee hee eee also instructs them how to pre- pare the various foodstuffs which the reindeer furnishes, such as butter, cheese, and the cooking and the dry- ing of the meat. For this work she recai¥es the same pqy-as the herders. She travels trom station to station, where the classes of women are assem- bled from the surrounding county of 100 miles or more.- She then gives daily object lessons in her domestic work and gradually the Eskir_. wom- en are taught the ways of civilization. BAD TEMPER MAY BE-CURED. Mental and Physical. It is a very generally recognized fact that an irritable temper -and fits of anger are diseases, and amenable to treatment just as are other mala- dies. The diseases, too, are curable if taken in time. They are diseases of the nerves manifesting themselves, ‘ke any other diseases in their own particular way. In adults these mala- dies can be often curbed and some- times cured, but in children they can be effectually dealt with. The symp toms first show themselves in irrita- Dility or maliciousness, the child fly- ing into a temper one minute only to be sorry the next. This is described as neurasthenia, and can be easily cured by dieting or such simple meas- ures.as dashing cold water on the angry child.or placing him before a ire ce ae fae Sot bow. tele So w.

Let him drink nothing but wa- ter and milk, permit no meat foods, al- Jow him fresh vegetables, eggs ané fish. The hours of rising and retir ing should be fixed; he should be as much as possible in the open air, and be bathed and well rubbed daily. In fact, regularity in all things should be rigidly adhered to. Neurasthenics should have as much nourishing food as possible. MUSHROOMS AS FOOD. ‘They Give Palatabieness to Other Food Mater.als. Recent investigations made by the department of agriculture show that mushrooms are about equal to pota- toes in the element of nutrition that goes to make fiesh and blood, but that, on the other hand, they do not hold much of the fuel stuff required to keep the body machine running. Con- taining, as they do, a very large per- centage of water, they may be sald, in @ sense, to correspond with fresh vege- tables in respect to food value. The motion that their composition resem- bles closely that of meat—a concep tion which has caused the term “veg- etable beefsteak” to be applied to them —is an absurd error. One would perl , eight pounds of mushrooms in a day in order to take the place of the ordinary ration of beef or mutton. The great usefulness of mushrooms lies in the palatableness which they give to other food mate rials. This is a matter of no small importance from the point of view of the economic expert in dietetics whe looks upon the attractiveness of dish- es as a notable element in their value. This common mushroom is a trifie more than 91 per cent water. It con- tains nearly 4 per cent of flesh form- ing stuff, 3% per cent of starchy and sugar substances, and 1 per cent of fat and fibre, with one-half of 1 per cent of mineral material. Tabooes Handshakiag. Mrs. Roosevelt occasionally demon- strates that “when a woman won't she won't, and there’s and end on’t.” The mistress of the white house has de- cided ideas as to What she should and should not do and generally has her own way without giving offense to anyone. For instance, the American habit of indiscriminate handshaking is one which she does not indorse. In fact, it is very distasteful to her, and when she went to Albany as wife of the governor of New York state she made up her mind to avoid handshak- ing at official receptions, At the first of these gatherings she charmed all callers by the sweetness of her smile and the cortiality of her manner, but both her hands were kept steadily clasping a huge bouquet. It js under- stood she will adopt the same or a similar way of avolding the handshak- ing ordeal should it show signs of de- velopment in Washington. Asphalt Beds of Trinidad. According to a report prepared by he Agricultural Society of Trinidad the principal deposit of asphalt in the island is at Le Brea, where there is an apparently inexhaustible supply. The pitch lake is 110 acres in exieat, of unknown depth and situated 130 feet above the level of the sea. The re- moval of 1,720,000 tons during the past thirty-four years has apparently made no impression on the lake. The lake contains no liquid asphalt, but in other parts of the island the kind from which illuminating and lubricating ofls can bé distilled is found widely distributed. Glance pitch, also found im the island, is used for electric in- suiations and for black varnishes. ‘The Werld’s Lonctiest Missiceary. The loneliest missionary in all the world is said to he Rev.

Pret. Thomas Shaw of Minnesota (aj. versity Gives an Unbiased Opinion. Ina letter to “The Parmer,” St. Paui, dated Sept. ist, 1901, Prof. Thomas ‘Shaw of the Minnesota State Univer. ‘sity has the following to say, after having made a trip through Western Canada: ° “The capabilities of the immense ‘area known as Western Canada are but little understood on this side of the lime. Our people are apt to look upon it as a region of frost and snow, a country in which but a small portion of the land relatively will ever be til!- able, because of the rigors of the cli- mate. True, the climate is cold in win- ter, but Western Canada has, neverthe- less, just that sort of climate which makes it the most reliable wheat pro- ducing country in all the continent. An immense Ares. Western Canada is not only an im- mense area, but the same description will apply to those portions of the country that are capable of being suc- cessfully tilled or grazed. Nearly ali of the prairie Province of Manitoba can be brought under cultivation, al- though probably not one-third of its surface has been laid open by the plow. Assiniboia to the west is a grain and stock country. Saskatchewan to the north of Assiniboia has high adapta- tion for the same. This also may be said of Alberta to the west. Here lies what may be termed a grain-growing and stock producing empire, the re- sources of which have been but little drawn upon comparatively, viewed from the standpoint of the agricultur- alist. When it is called to mind that even in the Peace River country in Athabasca, and several hundreds of miles north of the Canadian boundary, wheat was grown which won a pre- mium at the World’s Fair in 1893, the capabilities of this country in wheat production loom up more brightly than even the brilliant northern lights of the land that lies toward the pole. Adapted to Stock and Grain Production. The region under consideration is, however, mainly adapted to growing grain and grazing stock. Much of it is adapted to growing both grain and stock, but certain areas, especially to- wards the mountains, are only adapted to ranching, except where irrigation will yet be introduced. This, of course, can be done successfully along the many streams that flow down from the Rockies and water the country towards the Gast and nerth. The adaptation of the country for wheat production is of a high character. The cool nights that usually characterize the ripening season are eminently favorable to the Gilling of the grain, and to the secur- ing of a plump berry, and consequently large yields. The crop this year is a magnificent one. In Manitoba and the territories it should certainly give an average of more. than 20 bushels per acre. But should the yield be not more than 20 bushels, the crop will be a most handsome one, owing to the large area sown to wheat. Many farmers only grow grain. But those who do succeed as well in growing oats and barley as in growing wheat, bence these foods for stock should always be abundant. Some grow cattle mainly. and others combine the two. The last named, of course, is doubtless the saf- est of the three during a long course of years, that is to say, where much farming is practicable. Quality of the Live Stock. It was a p'easurable surprise to mote the high quality of the stock. The average of quality in cattle is higher than the average of cattle in our state, unless in the dairy classes. This opinion is not reached rashly o> with- out ample opportunity for investiga- tion. I spent three long days in the show ring at Winnipeg making the awards in the beef classes. I question if any of our states. single handed. could make such a showing in cattle. It was my privilege to make the awards at several shows and at all of their fairs were evidences that much attention is given to the improvement of the stock. I noted carefully the character of the herds that grazed along the railroad and everywhere the high average of the quality of the stock was in evidence. Reasons for Quality in Stock. ‘The quality of the grass is good. Many of the settlers came from On- tario and had been schooled as to the value of good stock before going west. The railroads and the government have taken a deep interest in making it less difficult and costly to the farm- ers to secure good males. Those who are anxious of changing their residence should bear in mind that the lands in Westegn Canada are many of them free and others reason- ably cheap.

FOLLOW THE LEAD OF PROPER RECREATION. Ethel Drew Barrymore, the Noted Actress, Writes an Article That Will Interest Women—Driving, She Says, Is the Favorite Tone. I believe in enjoying yourself anywhere and everywhere. Happiness is a fine art and so is its sister pleasure, recreation, writes Ethel Drew Barrymore, the well-known American actress. I get great enjoyment out of the simplest pastimes. You see that I am at the moment stepping into a hansom cab at the door of the theater. I love to ride in hansom cabs and get as much amusement out of hansom cabs as others get out of elaborate and expensive joys. Yes, my favorite amusement, I think, is riding in hansom cabs. Particularly in London do I love to ascend the mountainous and dangerous hansom. There is an additional pleasure in hansom cab riding in London which we do not have in New York. In London you always imagine you are about to be thrown out of the towering vehicle, but you never are; in New York the hansom's squat prototype seems to insure safety, but it is really the most dangerous. Once a section of a hansom in which my brother and I were riding along Thirty-fourth street was knocked off and a little later I was almost projected ten feet, fortunately on my own two, by an idly disposed beast of a horse who chose Forty-second street to lie down in. Hansom driving is almost as much fun as playing the piano. I love to play the piano. And I love to hear it played. I do not even object to the mechanical devices that play pianos if you look at them or turn a wheel or do something else absurd. I think it is delightful to see mechanism performing the duties of genius. The possibilities of the scheme's elaboration are boundless, but any individual mention of them would, of course, be invidious. Still, just for example, don't you think it would be charming to have a machine of ivory, gold and brass into which a white canvas could be placed and a magnificent oil painting produced? Sculpture already has a method of easy mechanical production. Heroic figures, Venuses, admirals and come- A ETHEL DREW BARRYMORE. (Well-known Actress Writes of the Art of Recreation.) diennes once perpetuated in marble can be recreated in perennial bronzes. Why not acting? Every time an actor studies a part why cannot his labor be affixed to a cylinder so that no one will ever have to study it again? No, I do not think the dramatic art has ever been fairly treated in this regard. Another reason I love to play the piano is that one can always, without attracting attention, play a little louder when a stupid person enters the room and utilize the planissimo when there is an opportunity to hear something really valuable. But in spite of dangers scantily escaped I maintain that driving in hansom cabs is my favorite amusement. When I can neither drive nor play the piano I can amuse myself in other ways. Yes, recreation is a fine art. The census returns show that the native white population of the United States exceeds the foreign-born element in the ratio of more than five to one, there being more than 56,000,000 whites against a little more than 10,000,000 foreigners. Of the natives something more than 41,000,000 are also of native parentage. A more striking fact brought out is that since 1890 the native white element has increased 23 per cent, and the foreign white element only 12. If this ratio continues the foreign element must steadily become a smaller proportion of the entire population, which is only another way of saying that the population will become more homogeneous as time passes. Chicago's Merchant Prince. Marshall Field, the Chicago merchant, was born in 1835 on a Massachusetts farm, and began business life in a Pittsfield dry goods store when 17, removing four years later to Chicago.

Pope, 42 Ferrar Road, Streatham, England, said: "Yes, poor chap, he is gone, dead—horse bolted, thrown off his seat on his cab he was driving and killed—poor chap, and a good sort, too, mate. It was him, you see, who gave me the half-bottle of St. Jacobs Oll that made a new man of me. 'Twas like this: me and Bowman were great friends. Some gentleman had given him a bottle of St. Jacobs Oll which had done him a lot of good; he only used half the bottle, and remembering that I had been a martyr to rheumatism and sciatica for years, that I had literally tried everything, had doctors, and all without benefit, I became discouraged, and looked upon it that there was no help for me. Well," said Pope, "You may not believe me, for it is a miracle, but before I had used the contents of the half-bottle of St. Jacobs Oll which poor Bowman gave me, I was a well man. There it is, you see, after years of pain, after using remedies, oils, embrocations, horse liniments, and spent money on doctors without getting any better, I was completely cured in a few days. I bought another bottle, thinking the pain might come back, but it did not, so I gave the bottle away to a friend who had a lame back. I can't speak too highly of this wonderful painkiller." Famous New York Rowery. The tide of business in New York city is turning rapidly toward the Bowery and in a short time the thoroughfare will undergo a revolution which will completely change its characteristics. Above Grand street the Bowery is all that could be desired. Women may walk the streets at any hour and meet nothing but courtesy. Children play about with the habitual cheerfulness of young tenement dwellers. Here and there a brightly lighted concert hall may attract the uninitiated to see an uncommonly bad performance of some kind, but there is little to satisfy the lover of the sensational. Below Grand street—that is another story. Even there the street compares favorably with many others that do not suffer from equally evil reputations. An ordinance passed last January designated Cooper square which makes a fitting terminal for the wide street leading to it. The great brown building of Cooper institute looms up imposingly from the moment the traveler in the Bowery turns at Grand street. Now the square has a new feature to recommend it—the St. Gaudens statue of the founder of the institute. STATE OF OHIO, CITY OF TOLEDO, 88 JUGAS COUNTY Frank J.

McKinley and a Reporter. During one of his congressional campaigns he was followed from place to place by a reporter for a paper of opposite political faith, who is described as being one of those "shrewd, persistent fellows who are always at work, quick to see an opportunity, and skilled in making the most of it." While Mr. McKinley was annoyed by the misrepresentation to which he was almost daily subjected, he could not help admiring the skill and persistency with which he was assailed. His admiration, too, was not unmixed with compassion, for the reporter was ill, poorly clad, and had an annoying cough. One night Mr. McKinley took a closed carriage for a near-by town at which he was announced to speak. The weather was wretchedly raw and cold, and what followed is thus described: He had not gone far when he heard that cough, and knew that the reporter was riding with the driver in the exposed seat. The major called to the driver to stop, and alighted. "Get down off that seat, young man," he said. The reporter obeyed, thinking the time for the major's vengeance had come. "Here," said Mr. McKinley, taking off his overcoat, "you put on this-overcoat and get into that carriage." "But, Major McKinley," said the reporter, "I guess you don't know who I am. I have been with you every time you spoke and I am going over tonight to rip you to pieces if I can." "I know," said Mr. McKinley, "but you put on this coat and get inside, and get warm so that you can do a good job."—Chautauquan. A Clergyman's Discovery.

Only one of these mines is over 400 feet deep, leaving us 1,600 feet of stoping ground in the main ore bodies, from our tunnel level. In a short time we expect to have the greatest ore reserves in the history of mining— We own about 8,000 feet by 9,000 feet, covering these two famous mineral belts as their most productive points. We are not looking for nor expecting to find ore, but we have large ore bodies now and are opening them at greater depth by our tunnels. The ones of the company run from $200 to $1,500 per ton. The average of all ore shipped from our district last year was $109.00 per ton; the highest average in Colorado. We transport the three large tunnels, the Sterrone, the Tobin and the Argentina. 100 SHARES, $ 4 CASH, $ 3 A MONTH FOR 7 MONTHS. 200 " 8 " 6 " " " 7 " " 500 " 15 " 10 " " " 11 " " 1000 " 30 " 20 " " " 11 " " 2000 " 50 " 30 " " " 15 " " 5000 " 150 " 55 " " " 20 " " (After December 15 the price of stock will be advanced to 30 cents.

Already in the child's face are rooted the whiskers that make the man. The man who earns his first thousand dollars always looks up to it with pride. Political dreams are often but a nightmare spasm caused by a foul stomach. Laughter smooths out our wrinkled frowns and sinks to the bottom our soulful sighs. Give a man a million dollars, and soon discontent will shrink into a miserable pittance. The man who is tempted by fair women falls into the velvet trap Nature herself has set. The only second life I know, is to do, say, or write something that will live after I am gone. Like children gathering bright pebbles along the shore, we collect dollars for others to throw away. Bad news travels by wireless telegraphy, while good news stops to hug every friend, and is long delayed. The inhabitants of Mars look down upon this mist-covered ball and wonder what manner of insects live upon its surface. The stained glass church windows give a religious tint to the light, but, like all other gilded things, they lose their beauty in the dark. I am not lost, though I believe none of the pious stories told by men to scare poor payers into prompt payments. The earth cannot shake me off according to these concocted plays.

The German empress has the finest pearl necklace in existence. It contains three world-famous necklaces. One of them formerly belonged to the ex-queen of Naples and another adorned the image of the virgin of Atakha. The entire necklace is said to be worth $50,000. THE CHILDREN. Give the children time to read. Help buy books for the school library, and add books to your own little library as you can afford it. Teach your children to love and master good books, and you need have little fear of their going astray. Teach the little ones to believe that it is a wrong thing to miss school for even a single day. Parents make a mistake in allowing children to miss school when it is not absolutely needful. Some parents are very careless in this respect and the result is their children fall behind in their school work and they fail to take a proper interest. Make a special effort to give the school children a variety when preparing their dinner. Some children do not tire of the cold dinners day after day. Others will eat scarcely anything unless their lunches are put up so they are attractive. A mussy looking dinner, and the same things every day, will not tempt the appetite of the dainty eater. Some children, like many of their elders, cannot eat anything unless attractive to the eye. Children should be encouraged to come home for their dinners whenever at all possible. A long walk is much better than to continue breathing the close air of the school room. If a child is well shod and warmly clad, even a stormy day will not be the injury to a delicate child that sitting about in a stuffy room will be. Therefore, I say, encourage the children to come home instead of carrying lunch. RULES OF CONDUCT. I. Leave your rank outside, as well as your hat and sword. II. Leave your right of precedence, your pride and any similar feeling outside the door. III. Be gay, but do not spoil or gnaw anything. IV. Sit, stand, walk as you will, without reference to anybody. V. Talk moderately, not loud, so as not to make the heads or ears of others ache. VI. Argue without anger and without excitement. VII. Neither sigh nor yawn, nor make any one feel dull or heavy. VIII. In all innocent games, whatever one proposes, let all join. IX. Eat whatever is sweet and savory, but drink with moderation, so that each may find his legs on leaving the room. X. Tell no tales out of school; whatever goes in at one ear must go out at the other before leaving the room. Whoever offends against rule X shall never again be admitted.—Catherine II. of Russia.

The decisions of the United States 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. Don't imagine that all hair preparations are alike. Quite the contrary. Some never do what is claimed for them. The Original Ozonized Ox Marrow has been on the market for so long that there is no doubt it will do everything we claim for it. It is the most genteel preparation that any one can use on their hair. It is most delicately perfumed and when thoroughly rubbed into the scalp and well brushed through the hair it cannot fail to cure dandruff and make the hair straight, soft and beautiful. It invigorates the scalp producing new growth and stops the hair from falling out. Try a bottle and you will be sure to be pleased. Only 50 cents, express paid, to any address in the United States. Druggists also sell it. Address: Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., 76 Walvash Ave., Chicago, Illinois. ```markdown ``` SIEGEL COOPER STATE.
