The Broad Ax

"There is a soul of goodness in things evil," says Shakespeare, and Herbert Spencer quotes and endorses it. And it is true. All these social evils we so complain of have been lower rounds in upward progress. All science has been based on errors. We must assume a theory, no matter how false, as one standing point wherefrom to get at the truth. We must remember that man was originally a very low savage and cannibal and all these evils have been but helps in his struggle upward. So long as war prevails we need certain demoralizing practices like the use of strong drink and the depression of poverty to make us reckless and "food for powder—food for powder" as Jack Falstaff said of his ragged regiment. War, slavery, polygamy, vice, competition, monopoly, tyranny are all necessary towards development of higher conditions. The things become real evils when they remain too long and become obstacles toward farther progress. Many of our attempts at reform are a little premature, still, agitation educates and prepares us for reforms. Any one by taking up one of the great evils and studying its origin and influence can easily see that it has been needful to progress. Each one is a development of evolution. Tyranny, monopoly and slavery have developed superior classes. But for them all the people must have remained on one immutable dead-level. It would seem to be the first great law of nature that the smaller or weaker shall subsist the stronger. Cruel, but nature is as the poets say "red in tooth and claw." Slavery came in mercy to the captive who else must have been killed and eaten. Moreover it domesticated and improved savage races into superiority over their masters. No race has ever been perpetuated except by slavery. Every wild conquering race that never passed through slavery has perished off the face of the earth. All have gone—Celt, Gaul, Norman, Indian etc. Left only are Slavonics, Anglo-Saxon, German, Jews and nations mixed of them. The African Negro race that has passed through slavery now inherits all there is of the best of modern civilization and is the seed for mighty empires of their race in all the equatorial regions—one half of the habitable globe. They are to do in Africa what the old Anglo-Saxon and Dutch races have done in North America. It has been by war, monopoly, slavery, tyranny, that man has developed up to his present condition. In brief, the many have suffered and agonized that the few could evolve through leisure and power into the higher models of humanity, and these few will yet, building better than they knew, elevate the whole. Thus these combinations called trusts are doing today. Nothing is more certain than that the masses will never deliberately raise themselves above their own level. Circumstances must do it for them. And he who can not see the operations of higher but unseen wisdom on human destiny takes a shallow view. Out in Topeka, Kans., a little ten year-old boy by the name Philip Bullard, was expelled from the public schools because he refused to join in reading the bible and repeating the Lord's prayer each morning. The members of the board of education of Topeka, and all others who assisted to depose Philip Billard from the public schools of that city ought to be sent to jail, for the people do not pay taxes to have the public schools transformed into churches or prayer-meeting halls. If parents of children think they must be taught to read the bible and repeat the Lord's prayerf1 let them teach them along that line at home, and keep the public schools free from all religious exercises or services. Alderman Henry La Fick, 9th ward, is billed to be returned to the city council next April. Alderman Fick is a hard worker for all the people residing in his ward. THE OLDEST READER OF THE BROAD AX. Shortly after locating in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1895, we had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. M. E. Randall, who was born, raised and educated in Old Virginia, and from that time to the present Mrs. Randall, who is connected with the family of Randalls who are closely related to Thomas Jefferson, has not only been one of our warmest friends, but has also been the most constant supporter of The Broad Ax. From Aug. 31, 1895, right up to the present time Mrs. Randall has kept up her subscription to The Broad Ax, and she has the honor of being its oldest reader and subscriber. There is not so far one woman in the United States belonging to the colored race that has manifested as much interest in the success of The Broad Ax, as Mrs. Randall, who is an honorable member of the Anglo-Saxon race. This proves that Afro-American women as a general rule do not read newspapers as eagerly as white women, that they will not pay out their money as freely as white women do towards supporting newspapers published in the interest of the Afro-American race. Mrs. Randall is well advanced in years, but she is extremely bright and active and continues to take a very deep interest in all the affairs of this government. In writing to us recently Mrs. Randall says: "I have been reading The Broad Ax tonight and I assure you that I enjoy it. It is so spicy, you have such a variety of items on so many subjects that your paper is quite educational, and your editorials are to the point. Keep on improving and you will have a paper equal to any in Chicago." Mrs. Randall, we heartily thank you for such encouraging and cheering words, and Mrs. Taylor and ourself wish you A Happy New Year. EIGHT GREAT INDICTMENTS. Booker T. Washington has created a national sensation by accepting an invitation to dine with the President of the United States. He had an honor accorded him that is not often extended to the white "Profs." But let us remind Prof. Washington that there is one place that he cannot enter and be served. When he goes to Indianapolis he might create another stir. There is a barber shop in that city, owned and controlled by a Mr. Knox, the distinguished Negro editor and platform speaker. Brother Booker may be premitted to put President Roosevelt's forks and spoons in his mouth, but unelss he turns pure white, he will never remember the honor of having one of Mr. Knox's razors used on his face in that shop. Mr Knox is now out lecturing Negroes and riding in "James Crow" cars, but he has left orders at the shop not to let Brother Booker come there and get his black face shaved and kinky hair cut. You have made it professor, from the backwoods of the South to a seat at the dinner table in the White House, and somebody said that you had come a long way. But let us tell you that there is a distance longer than that—from the dinner table of the President of this great nation to a seat in the barber shop of George L. Knox. Hope you will make it; and if you do, the next place for you is heaven.—Ex. Hon. Frederick W. Job, chairman of the Board of Arbitration of Illinois. continues to perform invaluable services in behalf of the working-classes and employers of labor. The other members of the board, who assist Mr. Job, are: C. B. G. Ashley, W. A. M. Clinton and J. McCan Davis, and all these gentlemen, like Mr. Job, have proven themselves worthy to hold their responsible and honorable positions. James T. Bransfield, Esq., the civil engineer who is widely known among all the good people residing in Brighton Park, has for some time past been superintending some work in his line for the trustees of the drainage canal. At the present time Mr. Bransfield is not devoting much time to politics, but he will get in the political harness next spring just before the band begins to play. HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO. DECEMBER 28, 1901. ENDORSES THE COURSE OF THE BROAD AX. Chicago, Dec. 26, 1901. Julius F. Taylor, Esq., Editor of The Broad Ax. The undersigned has been a constant reader of The Broad Ax since its initial appearance in Chicago. In my opinion it has been an educator along political lines. The political history of the Negro has been succinctly told; the hypocrisy of the Republican party leaders has been exposed and above all the road to political emancipation has been plainly marked out. That the Democratic party is the frend of the masses and that the in- LAWRENCE A. NEWBY. Attorney-at-Law. terests of the Negro are identified with those of the masses is a "self-evident truth." Consequently, when the masses triumph the Negro must have a share in the victory in order that the full measure of benefits may be enjoyed by them. The Negro can only share in the full measure of the victory by following your advice: "Support the Democratic ticket." Your trenchant pen has lately been used to chastise newspaper heroes whose sole bid for prominence is to have successfully run a saloon or a gambling den. Such a use of the editorial pen will meet with the approval of a vast majority of race-lovers. Our newspapers must cease trying to make giants out of pygmies. It only subjects the race to the ridicule of its enemies. That you are educating the race along political lines and insistng upon higher ideals has the endorsement of The Republicans in the senate gathered around "Pitchfork" Tillman the other day and congratulated him on his part in the personal debate which he had with McLaurin, his colleague, whom they left standing apart from association either on the Democratic or Republican side. During the debate Tillman had said that rather than occupy McLaurin's position he would prefer to be "a yellow dog owned by a free nigger." The most contemptuous form of expression which Tillman could use, as he thought, was to speak of another senator in connection with a "free nigger," meaning the black men of the South enfranchised by Abraham Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. He was congratulated by the Republican senators. It was doubtless through motives of policy—they wanted to encourage a Democratic senator in making himself as offensive as possible to the public sense of decency, for the shame was reflected on the entire Democratic party. Yet it flattered Tillman exceedingly and probably he will seek another occasion to identify his "pitchfork" association and sentiments with the Democracy. It will gain Republican applause.—The Chicago Chronicle. It will be remembered that last New Year's day Ben Tillman dined with President McKinley at the White House, and we honestly believe that boodler or slave-driver Mark Hanna, furnishes Tillman with a certain amount of money each week or month as an inducement to him to cuss and damn the Negro in order to prevent them from leaving the G. O. Lily White Party of trust and monopolies, and joining the party of the common people, the Democratic party. To cut it off short and sweet The Broad Ax wishes its many friends A Happy New Year. Dr. W. H. and Mrs L. A. Davis, 5012 Fifth avenue, spent their Christmas at Peoria, Ill., with relatives and friends. Hon. John G. Jones, the greatest Afro-American Mason in the world, lectured in Odd Fellows' Hall, Pittsburg, Pa., Thursday evening, Dec. 26. The Phyllis Wheatly Woman's Club will receive its friends at the home of Mrs. Jessie Johnson, 4847 Armour avenue, New Year's day. Rev. George W. Dickey was lately appointed a protection officer of Illinois and he will be subject to the orders of the juvenile court of this city. George A. Brown, president of the Harriet Beecher-Stowe Industrial School, of Danville, Ill., visited Chicago the past week. Ex-Judge J. E Ricketts, 145 La Salle street, returned from Washington, D. C., the first of the week, where he had spent three weeks on legal business. Mrs. R. A. Smith, 361 30th street, throws the doors of her elegant home open to the members of the Buffalo Whist Club on Thursday evening, Jan. 2, 1902. Col. A. D. Gash, who is one of Chicago's most popular and leading lawyers, will, if he lives, be selected as the next congressman from the 4th congressional district. Attorney Theodore Schroeder, Salt Lake City, Utah, who is an old friend of the writer, has presented his great collection of Mormon literature to the Wisconsin Historical Library. Alderman John Minwegan, 21st ward, has in the past two years endeared himself to all his constituents. He has ever been watchful of all their interests, and next April honest John Minwegan will return to the city council from the 21st ward. Hon. Thomas Gahan, member of the Democratic National Committee, and chairman of the Cook County Democratic Committee, always talks mighty sharp and very quick, but he always carries a big roll of the long green to pay his subscription to newspapers. Mr. and Mrs. Enos Bond, 6050 South Green street, have a new bouncing baby boy, who arrived at their home ten days ago. His name is Enos Julian and he has grown so fast that he was large enough to sit up to the table on Christmas day and eat turkey with the rest of the family. County Commissioners Organ, Flanagan, Dalley, Theilen and Irrmann have all made good records as commissioners of Cook County, they are with the people and the people will demand that the names of all these gentlemen appear on the county ticket next year. Alderman Stanley H. Kunze, 16th ward, is ever ready and willing to do a good turn for his army of friends regardless of their station in life, and it goes without saying that Alderman Kunze will serve as one of the city fathers for two years longer from April, 1962. Tuesday, Dec. 24, at Detroit, Mich.. Miss Grace May Slaughter, was united in marriage to Mr. Jacob L. Parks of Chicago. Mr. Parks is engaged in the undertaking business at 3155 State street, and he and his lovely bride will be at home to their friends on New Year's day. Mr. and Mrs. James H. Harris, 4764 Armour avenue, entertained Mr. and Mrs. Julius F. Taylor at dinner Christmas day. The spread prepared by Mrs. Harris herself, was fit for the gods. It consisted of all the delicacies of the season and the host and hostess are perfectly familiar with the art of entertaining. Thomas F. Klernan, who resides in the third ward, is being mentioned for alderman, but The Broad Ax does not believe that Mr. Klernan, who is assistant superintendent of the water pipe extension, will cut any figure in the aldermanic contest of the third ward, for he is too messy, stingy or close-fisted. C. J. Turner, who conducts one of the elevators in the First National Bank Building is full of progressive ideas. He does not occupy such a lofty position in life, nevertheless he is very bright, and in time we feel sure that Mr. Turner will come to the front as one of the leaders of the young Afro-Americans. Gambler Terrell, who owes us three dollars as subscription to The Broad Ax told Mr. Robert T. Sims a short time ago "that he intended to give us a good beating." Terrell, who is a coward a bully and a worthless loafer, may succeed in waylaying us some dark night, but if he tackles us face to face in the broad day light he may get himself into trouble. Mr. David L. Frank of Hart & Frank, real estate dealers and renting agents, 128 Washington street, will more than likely become the candidate of the Tilden Democracy for Alderman of the first ward. Mr. Frank is very wealthy and boards at the Lexington Hotel, and if he should decide to become an active candidate Alder Bathhouse John J. Coughlin will be up against it good and hard. Our old friend Frank J. Lehr, who for a long time ran the Town of Lake Headquarters, 117 Clark street, has now become the owner of the sample room, ten-pin alley and dancing hall, which is connected or attached to Oswald's Garden, 5212 South Halsted street, and from now on John Stapelfeldt will run the Town of Lake Headquarters. Since he assumed charge of it he has made many changes, which has made it very attractive. Miss Amelia M. and little Miss Dollie Scott, and their sister, Mrs. Bryant, paid Mr. and Mrs. Julius F. Taylor a very pleasant call Christmas evening. Miss Dollie received so many nice Christmas presents as well as her sisters, and she brought them all along to show to us. Miss Amelia graduated from the Town of Lake High School last June. She is quite sensible and is one of the most popular belles on the South Side. While passing through the city hall a few days ago we ran right square into Saint Watkins and Gambler cheap brick-bat Terrell. Saint Watkins and his cronie Terrell, who may become vice-president of the South End Sunday Club so he could have a better opportunity to rob or skin its members, were unable to look us in the face, which seemed very strange. But possibly they were both figuring on how to play the role of gambler and saint at the same time. A. W. Settles, J. B. Winston, Isaac Burrel, M. E. Bennett, H. H. Trent, W. M. Wright, James Bennett Laura Settles, James Trent, C. C. Gates and W. B. Crockett have organized the A. W. Settles Company, for the purpose of dealing in general merchandise. In the near future these enterprising Afro-Americans will open up a retail and wholesale grocery store, which will be located at some central point on the South Side. This shows that the colored people are rapidly entering the world of business. Ex-United States Senator Arthur Pue Gorman, the Negro-hater of Maryland, is being slightly mentioned in several parts of the country as the standard-bearer for president in 1904. Ex-Senator Gorman has never in all his political life drawn an honest breath, he is always like the Irishman's flea, when any one attempts to put their hands on Gorman, he is not there, and no one can ever tell where he is at on any political issue or question, he is an old political hack or fraud and if the leaders of the Democratic party are unable to find any better timber for President in 1904, than A. Pue Gorman, then they had better not go to the expense of holding a national convention. James Phillips of Fort Pierre, S. D., is the owner of the largest herd of full-blooded buffalo in the world. They are sixty in number and Mr. Phillips purchased them from Peter Du Free, the late millionaire half-breed Indian. The hotel runner doesn't run the hotel. Lucky is the girl who marries the best man at the wedding. Reputation may be a bubble, but the best is never made by a blower. Just when a man flatters himself that he has reached his prime he begins to get bald. It is the man born with a silver spoon in his mouth who contributes most to the support of the dentist. A St. Louis messenger boy has just inherited a large fortune. As a matter of course it will be against his principles to run through with it.—Chicago News. Wings for Human Beings. In 1273 Friar Bacon predicted that flying would "shortly" become a general practice, and Bishop Wilkins in 1652 said: "It will yet be as usual to hear a man call for his wings when he is going on a journey as it is now to hear him call for his boots." STORYETTES. Dr. George Truman of Philadelphia was, during his lifetime, a prominent and much beloved minister in the Society of Friends. One winter's day a friend was taking him in his carriage to a meeting some miles from the city. Over their laps was spread a buffalo robe with the hair side uppermost, "Friend Charles," asked the doctor, "why does thee use thy robe with the hair side out?" "That is the way the buffalo wore it," was the reply. "But remember," retorted the doctor, with a merry twinkle, "the buffalo wore it with the hair side toward us." An American sojourner in the Philippines was in a recent letter to friends at home: "I want to go home. I want some washing done. To show you how bad, I send you under separate cover a handkerchief and collar just back from the laundry. Take the handkerchief out and bury it, and save the collar as a souvenir. They don't pretend to get the dirt out of your clothes here. They take them down to the river, hard water and partly salt, souse them in, take them out, lay them on boards, and with stones bat them full of holes and pound the buttons off. Then they smooth them out with a plank." In the office of a justice of the peace in Memphis a white man was being tried a few days ago for assault and battery. A small negro, the man's hired boy, was on the witness stand testifying for the defendant. "Tell the court, boy, all you know of this affair," said the 'squire. "Well, judge, you see hit wu dis away: Dat man dere," indicating the plaintiff, "wuz in my boss' office t'other day and dey kummenced quallin' over sumthin' ernother, en dat man he ripped out en call by boss en old bal'-headed scound'el!" "Are you sure," asked the J. P., "that the man was addressing your employer? Was there no one else in the room?" "Yes, jedge, dere wuz order folks dere'sides us, but I knows my boss wuz de only bal'-headed scound'el in de office." OUT OF THE TALL GRASS.

The fact that twenty-three men have been killed or wounded in the Adirondacks this year by hunters who mistook them for deer has created a demand for the suppression of the long-range rifle. At a distance of two miles a man may look like a deer or a monkey or anything else in the animal creation. Mrs. Orinsby of Chicago, of course, cares for a divorce, and, therefore, may be set down as considering marriage a howling failure. Yet fourteen children were born to the marriage, of which three same singly, four came in two of a kind, three came at one time, and the last result showed up in fours. Under the circumstances it was more probably a failure of the flour-barrel rather than of the marriage. The passing of the historical novel is forcehadowed and few readers of fiction will mourn the loss of the swashbuckling, blood-thirsty heroes familiar to the public for the last five years.

The golf stick is to take the place of the sword and the automobile is to summon the fiery war horse. sect Bad Money. It seems wonderful to the casual observer that cashiers, bank tellers and others who handle large amounts of paper money are able at a glance to detect a bad note. Exactly what it is that does expose the counterfeit the best experts find it difficult to tell. They say they know it instinctively. They judge not only by the looks of a note, but by the "feel" of it. It is obvious that a counterfeit note must be widely circulated to make it profitable. No sooner does a counterfeit appear than its description is widely published. Those who are likely to suffer by taking counterfeit notes make it their business to be on the lookout for new ones, which are soon distinguishable by some easily discovered mark. A teller knows of just what denominations are the counterfeits and just where to look for the telltale marks. He detects the spurious note as easily as the reader does a misspelled word. It is no particular effort. It is a habit. The principal reason why counterfeits are so easily detected is because, in some feature, they are almost uniformly of inferior quality. This is, indeed, the main protection of the public. Genuine notes are engraved and printed almost regardless of cost, and the very best materials are used in the engraving and printing. It is done in large establishments, with costly materials and by the best workmen. It is practically impossible for counterfeiters to do as well. They must work in secret and at a disadvantage, and of necessity cannot have the experience to produce such perfect work. If they get the engravings done nicely, they fail in the printing, or if they get the engraving and printing done well, they fail in securing the proper paper. Of late years there has been a great deal of care taken to get paper manufactured expressly for the notes issued by the government. The national bank notes are also issued by the government, so that the sources of supply for exactly that kind of paper are controlled. There is little protection for the poor and ignorant from counterfeit money. They do not rely so much upon their own skill as upon keeping track of the sources from which they receive money. They know from whom they receive a bank note, and if it turns out bad they take it back and get it redeemed. In some degree this protection exists among financial institutions, which keep trace of the sources of their receipts.—St. Louis Republic. A human being may be bought today in the Soudan for $80. That is to say, if you are economical in bent, you may secure your slaves at this figure. They will be but fourteen years old, however, and not very strong. To get a mature, robust and experienced slave you will be obliged to pay considerably more. The maximum price is $500. And much of this goes on under the British flag. England has done her best to put a check to the slave trade. It is so firmly rooted, however, that although 225 agents of the British government, each equipped with a camel, are constantly employed in trying to stamp out the man trade, it flourishes in spite of them. Most of the twenty-five offenders convicted during the last twelve months were sheiks of the Rashidas, one of the most troublesome and dreaded tribes of the Soudan. The activity against them, however, has driven most of them east into Italian territory. The slave trade at Jeddah has been the most serious. The principal traffic is from Massaia and the coast to the northward in Italian territory, Abyssinia, Hodeida and Yemen. Yemen is noted for the export of the slaves who are procured from Abyssinia. At Jeddah there are twelve wealthy slave merchants whose names and depots are well known. The prices of slaves areff: Male or female, 14 years old, about $80; 14 to 20 years, $100 to $125; 20 to 30 years, $150 each. In Medina and Mecca the prices of both sexes rise 50 per cent and upward, while some readily command from $400 to $500 each. Discover Famous Secret Herr Busse, a chemist of Hamburg, says he has discovered the secret of making two famous liqueurs, chartreuse and benedictine. Until the time of this discovery the secrets were solely in possession of the French monks who made these liqueurs. Herr Busse makes the claim that he can produce the real article at one-quarter the price now demanded for that which comes from France. Connoisseurs will have an opportunity shortly to decide as to the value of Herr Busse's discovery and the merit of his product, for it is to be put on the market. The liqueurs will not be sold in liquid form in bottles, but a small box of powdered herbs will be handed to the purchaser, who will have to do the distilling himself. The liqueurs made by the French monks are so strictly protected by law that it is impossible to sell any spirits of other manufacture under the designations used by them. It is for this reason that the herbs will be sold, and that the buyer will have to drink "home-made" chartreuse or benedictine. A French farmer has made experiments which show that caterpillars avoid black objects, but are attracted in numbers by white. ...FIGUREHEADS FOR OUR BATTLESHIPS... Dewey's flagship, the Olympia, having been provided with a colossal figure of Victory to ornament her noble prow, the navy department is contemplating K. Stern Ornament of the Olympia. the extension of this new departure to other warships in Uncle Sam's service, which will be adorned with figure- I ```markdown ``` heads—in many cases, at all events—much more beautiful and elaborate than have been supplied hitherto. Up to the present time the "bow ornaments," as figureheads are called in naval parlance, used on our fighting vessels have been quite plain, as a rule, consisting in most cases of nothing more than the coat of arms of the United States and a bit of scroll work. It was decided to provide the cruiser Cincinnati, not long ago, with something handsomer and more impressive to adorn her prow, and an art firm in Americans of distinctly selected that the plan was doned. Hitherto the figurehead fighting craft have been usually by the contract yards the vessels were such instances they have as a rule. When the sloped to be constructed ernment navy yards t ments have been of w the handsomest of the cruiser New York. ```markdown ``` Figuishhead of Cruiser Cincinnati. New York city was asked to furnish a large winged figure holding aloft an eagle, the bird being in such an attitude as to suggest the idea that it was about to take flight. The effigy was intended to represent Victory. Subsequently it was determined so ornament the Olympia with a similar figure, representing the same goddess of successful war, and this sculpture, likewise, was executed by the New York art firm. In each instance the ```markdown ``` head and bust were of metal, while the rest of the effigy was carved out of blocks of wood sent over from the Brooklyn navy yard. In this way it has come about that the Olympia and Cincinnati have figureheads much alike. They have excited a great deal of admiration, and it is believed that such heroic allegorical bow ornaments actually possess a substantial usefulness, giving encouragement to the warlike enthusiasm of the fighting men on board. Taking into view this consideration, as well as the artistic improvement, the construction bureau of the navy department is strongly inclined to go ahead with the figurehead idea. Some years ago, when the battleships Indiana and Massachusetts were built, it was decided to provide these and certain other vessels with the busts of historic personages for figureheads, and sculptures of Washington and Jefferson were thus utilized. But there was so much dispute as to which A Americans of distinction should be selected that the plan was finally abandoned. Hitherto the figureheads for our fighting craft have been furnished usually by the contractors in whose yards the vessels were built, and in such instances they have been of metal, as a rule. When the ships have happened to be constructed in the government navy yards the bow ornaments have been of wood. One of the handsomest of these now adorns the cruiser New York, though it consists merely of the national coat of arms surmounted by an eagle, and was designed by a very capable artist at $2.50 a day. NYE DID NOT UNDERSTAND Sale of Seats for His Entertainment Surprised Him. "I think the late Bill Nye was at his best when an opportunity presented itself to make humorous remarks about himself or his own misfortunes," said M. A. Marks during a conversation in which the writings of the humorist were discussed. "I remember an incident which happened in Madison, Ind., the town in which I was born and raised. I was manager of the playhouse we had in the town, and when upon a certain occasion the Women's Relief Corps, an auxiliary organization to the G. A. R., wanted to get up an entertainment for the purpose of raising money it asked me to pick out something I thought would be a drawing card. "I looked over the list of attractions and ran across the names of Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley, who were then touring together. I told the ladies that in my opinion they could make no better selection, and the humorist and Hoosier poet were immediately communicated with. It so happened that a few days later I had to go to New York, and of course, left the entire matter with the ladies, telling them to proceed at once with calling tickets. belling tickets "You may imagine my astonishment when I returned home on the day on which the entertainment was to be given, when one of the ladies came to me and said they had sold but seven tickets, and that they had abandoned the idea of holding the entertainment at all. The worst of it was they had simply come to the conclusion that they could make no money out of the entertainment and dropped it without communicating with Nye, or Riley, or with their manager. "Of course, in the afternoon they both arrived on the train, and it devolved upon me to break the news to them. I shall never forget the feeling that came over me when I entered their room in the tavern at which they had put up. Riley was sitting in a chair in an apparently meditative mood, while Nye, with his back toward the door, was unpacking his grip. Nye did not look up when I came in, but kept right on unpacking, so I addressed my remarks at Riley. I said that but seven tickets had been sold and that the ladies had decided to abandon the entertainment. Then Bill Nye turned around and remarked: 'Only seven tickets sold! That's funny, because the people of this town never heard us.'" BEES AND THEIR STINGS. A Species of Good-Tempered Ones Called Angelitos. There are a numebr of honeymaking bees which apparently do not use their stings, or in which the stings are atrophied and too blunt. Some are very small, so diminutive that they are called mosquito bees. They gather quantities of honey, of which Bates, in one of the forests on the Amazon, took two quarts from one of the nests. In Jamacia, where some of these amiable bees are also found, they are called "angelitos," a name given them by the original Spanish settlers in honor of their good temper, says the London Spectator. Some Australian dwarf bees—also "angelitos" so far as human beings are concerned—do not use their stings perhaps because they are not sharp enough to hurt, but deal with their enemies something after the manner of the Quaker on board ship who refused to use a gun, but threw the Frenchman overboard. An enemy is held down by several of the bees who gradually put him on the rack by pulling his limbs out tight and keeping them so, for as long as an hour, by which time the prisoner "dies a natural death." Bumblebees are popularly supposed not to sting. The males have no stings, but the females have, at any rate, in the common bumblebee. There are so many sizes in a bumblebee's nest, large females, small females, and males, that it is a safe speculation not to take the risk, though bumblebees are very easy-going creatures and only sting when pressed or hurt. Pure Water for Jerusalem. Bad water supply has caused much sickness in Jerusalem for many years. Thirty years ago Lady Burdett-Coutts offered $250,000 to bring water from Ain Arroub, but the Turkish government barred the way. At last, however, at the suggestion of Mohammed Djevad Pasha, recently installed governor of Jerusalem, the sultan has given permission to carry out a plan submitted by Franghia Effendi, one of his engineers. A ten centimeter iron pipe will bring water from Ain Salab (the sealed fountain) along the bed of the old aqueduct which Solomon built. On July 5 was held the opening ceremony in the presence of representatives of the Greek church, Roman Catholics, Turks and other communities. In two months' time, at a cost of $25,000, water will be available for all the people of Jerusalem. Sues for Dora. Not Children A suit now in court in Paris will interest Americans. It is the case of Mrs. Lowther, a dashing, well-known Californian, against her divorced husband, to regain possession of nine dogs. Mrs. Lowther married in Paris eight years ago. She also secured a divorce there. It seems that she and her husband were both equally attached to their poodles, each declaring life not worth living without them. At the time of the separation the wife had the dogs, but afterward the husband organized a "successful kidnapping expedition." Hence the legal proceeding. Shocking accounts have been received at Cracow of wholesale flogging of Polish children by Prussian schoolmasters for refusing to learn the catechism and praying in German in Wrzesnia. Close Economy in France. It is announced that the French army will soon be deprived of gloves, from motives of economy. Each of the 500,000 soldiers receives two pairs a year, and each pair costs 1 franc 25 centimes. General Greeley, the meteorologist, who has been seeing the London fogs, expresses the opinion that, with proper data, it would be quite possible to forecast them. "Is she wealthy?" "Wealthy? She's so wealthy she can afford not to wear diamonds."—Detroit Free Press. By January 1st the Rock Island expects to be able to open for business its southwestern extension to El Paso, Tex. This line, in connection with the Southern Pacific and the Mexican Central railroads, will give the Rock Island the shortest line both to Southern California and the City of Mexico, and make it a dangerous competitor of the Santa Fe. It took just one year to construct the 546 miles of the new extension from Liberal, Kan., to El Paso, Tex. For the purpose of complying with the Texas law that every railroad within that state shall have state operating headquarters and also for general construction facilities and convenience, the new road was placed under the charters of five different railroad corporations, viz.: The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific proper, the Chicago, Rock Island & Mexico, the Chicago, Rock Island & El Paso, the Rock Island & El Paso, and the El Paso & Northeastern. The road from Liberal to Santa Rosa, N. M., a distance of 272 miles, was placed under direct Rock Island construction, with J. H. Conlen, vice president of the Chicago, Rock Island & Mexico, as Chief Engineer and General Manager, while from Santa Rosa to Carrizozo, a distance of 130 miles, the construction work was given to the El Paso & Northeastern, which already had a constructed line from El Paso to Carrizozo. The road from Liberal to Carrizozo will be equipped with eighty-pound steel rails, oak or pitch pine ties, and modern ballasting. Depot, side tracks, switches, station houses, yardings, water tanks, and Western Union telegraph lines have all kept pace with actual road building, and when the road is opened by the first of next year it will be in as perfect condition as any of the lines of the Rock Island system that have been in service for years. In connection with the Rock Island-El Paso line is the new thirty-mile railroad which is to develop the immense Dawson coal fields, owned by the Rock Island, on the Beaubien and Miranda grant, in the northern part of Colfax county, N. M. This road will leave the main Rock Island rails at or near Liberal station, twenty miles southwest of the Canadian river crossing, and run through the New Mexican counties of San Miguel, Mora and Colfax. This branch will be completed by May 15, 1902. The coal is to feed the southeastern portion of the Rock Island-El Paso line, and probably will largely supply the Southern Pacific railroad, in addition to a heavy domestic custom in that section of the country. The completion of the El Paso line will give the Rock Island a route of 222 miles shorter between Kansas City and El Paso than that of the Santa Fe between the same points, together with a saving of fifteen hours of time, the latter fact being largely due to the favorable alignment and maximum 1 per cent grade of the new Rock Island line. In connection with the Southern Pacific, the Rock Island will have a shorter line from Chicago to Los Angeles than will the Santa Fe. The construction cost of the Rock Island-El Paso line will approximate $7,000,000, an average of about $15,000 per mile.—Chicago Tribune. NEW BOOK ON THE GRAND CANYON. The Santa Fe has in preparation, to be published some time in December, a new and magnificent book on the Grand Canyon of Arizona. The publication comes at a fitting time, as travel to the Canyon has greatly increased since the opening of the new railroad to the Rim, and a commodious Harvey hotel is in process of erection at the head of Bright Angel Trail. The book will commemorate these events—events of vast importance in that land of silence—and will be worthy of its theme if the ablest pens in America can make it so. It will be handsomely illustrated, and will contain about 128 pages of matter. Among the authors represented—most of whom wrote contributions especially for this work—may be mentioned; Hamlin Garland, the distinguished author of "The Eagle's Heart" and other popular books; Charles F. Lummis, editor of "Out West," and the chosen prophet of Adobeland; David Starr Jordan, president of Stanford University; John L. Stoddard, the lecturer; Charles Dudley Warner, up to the time of his death the dean of American authors; Major J. W. Powell, the daring explorer who led the first expedition down the Colorado, passing through the entire length of the Grand Canyon; Harriet Monroe, the poet and journalist; "Fitz Mac," of Colorado Springs; Prof. R. D. Salisbury of the University of Chicago; Prof. Beecher of Yale, and Charles S. Gleed, the eminent Kansas lawyer. These and many others have made the book the finest of its kind. The exact date of publication has not yet been decided, but it is expected to appear before the end of 1901. Sounds Like Yankee Humor Frederick Villiers, the well-known war artist and correspondent, tells of having seen the following sign in a prominent hotel in an Australian town where water was scarce: "Please don't use soap when washing, as the water is required for tea." The Century Magazine will devote considerable space during the coming year to out-door improvement of cities and villages. The improvements in Washington city, planned by the Congressional Commission, which are to develop the capital on a magnificent scale, will be authoritatively set forth with official plans. A group of papers by Sylvester Baxter and others will carry the subject into the small city and village, and are expected to satisfy the current inquiry as to how to go to work to beautify the town.

"Mummy,' said a small girl—"mummy, dear, I do wish I might give some money for poor children's dinners." "So you may, darling." "But, mummy. I haven't any money." "Well, darling, if you like to go without sugar I will give you the money instead, and then you will have some." The small child considered solemnly for a moment and then said: "Must it be sugar, mummy?" "Why, no, darling, I don't much mind. What would you like to do without?" "How would soap do, mummy, then?" exclaimed the small malden in triumph.—Philadelphia Ledger. Cholly—"I think I may change my mind." Miss Marbleheart (earnestly)—"I would if I were you."—Judge. Bowing to circumstances is apt to be forced politeness. Many a man's head is full of emptiness. It is said of President Arthur T. Hadley of Yale that as a boy and youth he was not only very peculiar but a keen disappointment to his parents. He was eccentric and apparently quite without promise. One of the guests at the recent bicentennial celebration at Yale is responsible for this story: "When Hadley was 10 years old his mother took him to New York, where she met one of her girlhood friends, then also engrossed with family cares. To her Mrs. Hadley rehearsed her troubles, dwelling particularly on the one uppermost in her mind—Arthur T. When, she concluded her friend tried to console her by saying: 'Well, bear up and never mind, dear, my son is just as bad.' I wonder what the friend would say if she could have seen Hadley conferring the degree of LL. D. on Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United States." One of the listeners, who is certainly no respecter of persons, says the New York Times, remarked: "Perhaps Roosevelt was the other son." A Blacksmith's Story Goodland, Kans., Dec. 23.—N. E. Albertson, a local blacksmith, had almost decided to give up his shop altogether on account of Rheumatism which had crippled him so that at times he could not use his hammer. His shoulders and arms were so sore that he couldn't sleep at night. He had suffered for years, but was gradually getting worse, till at last he had about made up his mind to give up. But just then he heard of some wonderful cures of Rheumatism by Dodd's Kidney Pills and thought he would try for a cure once more. They cured him completely and he has not a trace of Rheumatism left. The shop will not be given up and Mr. Albertson may be seen there any day hard at work as if nothing had ever aled him. Corn Bread with Bacon. Corn bread cooked with bacon is a dish that is never seen in Philadelphia, but hunters and other persons who get out into the wilds return to rave over it. They describe it thus: The corn bread in the raw state is laid in a pan about two feet square, and then a piece of bacon is cropped up into bits as small as possible, and these bits are stuck, about an inch apart, into the dough. The cooking begins, and in the process the bacon fat melts. When the bread is done it has a peculiar and delightful flavor.—Philadelphia Record. $100 Reward, $100. The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it falls to cure. Send for list of Testimonials. Address F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

A Fad to Own Shootings It has now become a fad to own shootings in the South, where this year it is said that the birds were never so plentiful. The shootings are as extensive as those of Scotland, and among the owners of parks of this kind in North and South Carolina are many New York millionaires. Shooting parties are given during the winter, the guests being taken down in special cars. Stevenson's Neglected Grave. A New Zealand paper reports that Robert Louis Stevenson's grave in Samoa is overgrown with weeds and is in some danger of being lost altogether. Many persons used to visit it, but it is said that the yearly average is now something like six. According to a French army paper, suicide is more common in the French army than any other in Europe. Of the annual death rate in all branches of the service suicide accounts for five per cent. A Good Way to Begin 1902.

Wampton, Ohio The Pokin Mandarin Paper By the courtesy of Mr. Hwang Chung-huel of Pekin, for the editors, we have received the first number of the mandarin paper, the inauguration of which we chronicled in this column some days ago. The subjects treated are: Why we are issuing a paper in mardarin not in wenli, Chinese and foreign news, the treaty, the history of Poland, the last hundred years of women in the west, a catechism on the earth, two fables, and concluding with the rules of the paper. The first journal of this kind was issued at Hangchow, and now Pekin follows suit. It will be issued once in ten days at ten cents per number. This startling departure we might expect to emanate from foreigners—e. g., missionaries—who are tired of the trammels in which Chinese wenli wraps the human mind and strike off in a new line, aiming at the diffusion of knowledge as against its present concentration in the hands of the select few. But no, it is heathen scholarship which thus dares to cast aside the canons of the past and brave the ridicu'e of the longrobed crowd by printing—actually printing, mark you—a language understood of the common mass of the people.

Al! be fas to do is to marry a native ‘woman and settle down in some little _banana‘or cocoanut grove for the bal- ance of his days. To my certain _Knowiedge that is exactly what has been done by a large number of Weary Willies of the United States. Teall to mind one case on the south- ern -end of the Mosquito reservation.

He managed to annex a half-breed wife, and with her &@ scraggy little banana grove. It is mot much to look at, but abundant to supply the simple needs of the house- hold.

He {s very solid with all the neighboring Indians, who have an indiscriminate respect for a white akin, and I suppose they contribute to his support. Anyhow, he confided to me, last time I saw him that he had not done a lick of work since he struck the country. The natives make a kind of rum out of wild cane, and he gets boiling drunk whenever he feels in- clined.” DUCKS HAD A SPREE. Indulgence in Brandy Caused the Death 2 of Several of Them. A flock of ducks belonging to Simon Geisel wandered in front of a hotel im Hooversdalé, Pa. Thursday and .s practical joker enticed them inside tho barroom by scattering crumbled pret- zéls soaked in brandy. In ten minutes half the fiock was moving about un- steadily. Ten minutes later there was @ free-for-all fight, in which wings and bills were used unmercifully. Finally, a big drake rolled over upon his back and tarned his. web feet toward the ceiling and died. ‘Soon a couple of lady ducks followed him to the bright shores of tae vig duck pond. Then it began to dawn upon the jokers that perhaps their prank would turn out to de costly. Bromo-seltser and other easers known to the profession were procured, but the drunken ducks re- fused to return to sobriety. It was decided that fresh air was what the ducks needed and the remnants of the flock were hustled out of the place. ‘Two more then died on the way home. ‘When Mr. Geisel learned of the affair gays the Philadelphia Norih American, he banded ina bill at the rate of a dollar per dead duck and the claim was paid without dispute. - Injured by Electric Eason. A Parisian barber invented and patented an electric safety razor, con- -aisting of revolving blades, operated by alow current. The new ravor was & great success. But recently a num- ber of the barber's patrons discovered thet their chins had turned blue and that the skin felt as if it had been ‘scorched. The sufferers consulted their physicians and learned that they were suffering from electric burns. Now the barber is involved im a score of suits ‘for damages.

Suter Det ‘Given Is of » Very Elemen- During my stay at Nakhl I visited some of the schools, of which there are five here, and saw the children imbibing instraction in the usual Mos- Jem style, repeating aloud sentences of the Koran or rules of grammar read out by the mollab. They attend im “the morning, and may be seen at ‘an early hour hurrying to school, boys and girls together, some. with a “minfa,” or wooden Koran stand, on their heads, some with a painted board or camel shotlder‘bjade, on which they learn to write, under their arm. ‘The Instrection given -is of a very elementary character—reading, writ- ‘Ing, Arabic grammar, the Koran, and 8 little arithmetic being the only sub- jects, says the Geographical Journal. But the boys of the learned and wealthy are often educated at home by a moliah and advanced further. The lack of method is partly compensated for by the precocity and tenacity of memory shown by the boys. Nakhi deserves attention for the compara- tively advarced state of education among the people, there being a larger proportion of persons in this town able to read and write than in any other in Oman. There is a good number, also, of professional scribes. Books consequently, are not so scarce here as elsewhere. The higher position of learning here is attributed to the in- fluence of the Persians, who occupied this part of the country during the time of Nadir Shab. — mm me ‘Mountain Lions ia Utah. Mountain lions are assisting the stockmen of southern Utah in reducing the herds of wild horses which roam the ranges. It is that the lions bansemeehiscabty Quuntelehes the herds by devouring the colts.. Young colts ‘seem to be choice morsels for the wild beasts. and it is said that not over fifty colts escaped the lions this sea- son on the Boulder, Thousand Lakes and Fish Lake. mountains. The Hons seem to prefer the colts to lambs and calves and since there have been & great many colts born on the ranges @uring the last few years the beasts of prey have almost ceased to molest the Offspring of sheep and cattle. As the lions are not much hunted and have ready access to choice food they have been increasing in numbers rapidly and threaten to become a great menace to stockmen, especially when the wild horses begin to grow scarce. Dignitary Remembered as “Johouy.” Secretary Long is one of the most democratic citizens on earth. Every time he gets a chance he goes back to bis old home in Massachusetts, where he is regarded as one of them- selves by the simple inhabitants. One day, on o12 of ‘these vacations, Mr. Long took his laundry under his arm and carried it around to the local laundry. A day or two later he trotted around to the laundry to find out if it was ready. Entering the lit- Ue shop, he made his inquiry of the man in chaig2, “is my laund-y ready?” “I'll see,” replied the man. Then, turning toward the back room, where his wife was, he shouted: “Hey, Mary! Is Johnny's laundry done yet?”—New York Times. ‘Tertare Horses to Flease Faédists. Owners of horses in New York are said to have devised a new torture, to make their animals hold up their heads in an aristocratic manner. It is“ called the bit burr, and is made of heavy leatnef, three inches in dia- meter. In the center is a hole large enough to admit a bit. On the inner side of the burr are bunches of bristles, which protrude a quarter of an inch. ‘The burr is slipped on the Lit, and the bristles rub_against the side of the horse’s mouth when the Ine is pulled taut. _Bristles is the usual materia) used for studding the burr, although it is charged that some horse owners use tecks with the snarp point filed. ‘ Ask your dealer for ‘Sunday Creek No. 18 HOCKING . ‘The best for domestic use = For Sqje by THE JONES & ADAMS CO.
