THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE. OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH, QUINN CHAPEL AND BETHEL CHURCH ARE STILL HEAVILY IN DEBT, WHILE THEIR PASTORS ARE LIVING OFF THE FAT OF THE LAND ON THE MONEY WRUNG FROM THE PEOPLE. LEGS IN THE PULPIT AT OLIVET For over 35 or 40 years the Colored people of this city, those who belong to the various churches as well as the nonchurch members, have contributed more than four hundred thousand dollars of their hard earned money towards paying off the debts, which have so long hung over Olivet Baptist church, Quinn Chapel, Bethel, and several other church structures, which in time may belong to the race, providing they are not sold at auction to satisfy their creditors. What we have to say at this time respecting the Negro churches of Chicago, will be confined to Olivet, Quinn Chapel, Bethel church and their pastors. The oldest members of Olivet well remember that Rev. De Baptiste, had charge of that church for 18 years and during his ministry, the people paid into the church treasury $02,500; at the end of 18 years Rev. De Baptiste, resigned as pastor, but the church was $21,000 in debt. LEGS IN THE PULPIT AT OLD OLIVET. At the time Rev. De Baptiste, became too feeble to preach any longer. Rev. J. F. Thomas, succeeded him as pastor and for 14 years he has occupied Olivet's pulpit, and at the expiration of that time the church is still heavily in debt. Notwithstanding the fact that within the past 14 years, more money has been raised to aid Olivet, than was collected while Rev. De Baptiste, was in charge of it. For Rev. Thomas has resorted to many disgraceful schemes to raise money. Not very long ago he had a minstrel or vaudeville troop to cut up their monkey-shines in the pulpit and while one of the vulgar and bold women connected with the troop, was engaged in doing the musle dance. She was called back the third time, when she became very brazen and she deliberately stooped down and pulled all her clothes up so high that no one had any trouble in seeing up above her knees, in the meantime Elder Thomas adjusted his specks on his ministerial nose, presumably to enable him to view her fat or plump legs. Rev. Thomas has also transformed Olivet into a political hall in order to raise money, but all this counts for nothing for every time services are held in the church the old familiar cry goes up for more money! More money! The members and friends of Olivet pay Rev. Thomas $32.50 each and every week, besides what he picks up on the side by delivering political speeches, marrying and otherwise. Yet he is not satisfied, for he is always looking for donations from the church and car fare. Some say that Rev. Thomas is very rich, that he owns property out in Kansas and in this city, but it's not in his name, but that is neither here nor there with Rev. Thomas, for it seems that he wants all the money he can get out of the people, wo attend Olivet, regardless of how hard they are compelled to work and struggle for it. VOL. VII. bless him unless his church can pay twenty-five or thirty-five dollars each month for a house for him to live in. Verily do we believe that if services were held one hundred times a day in Quinn Chapel, at each service Rev. Carey would consume most of the time in begging and brow-beating the people to dig up more money. Money for notes coming due, money for back interest, money to purchase himself a new dress suit or plug hat, money for this and for that thing and last, but not the least, the dollar money, and many weak-minded women will stand at the wash-tub all day long or work hard in some one's kitchen or even let, their children grow up in rags and dirt in order to save money so they can have the pleasure of walking up and laying it on the table in Quinn Chapel and have Rev. Carey smile upon them and exclaim in a long voice "God bless you my good sister!" Bethel church is a little better off than either Olivet or Quinn Chapel, for it only owes about ten or twelve thousand dollars, but many years will pass away before it is free from debt for it costs so much to keep Rev. A. L. Murray in table money, for it is said that twenty or twenty-five dollars are turned over to Rev. Murray each week to buy good things for his table. He also draws a handsome salary on the side, without saying anything about his pickings or the money he picks up from dabbling in politics, and Elder Murray, like Rev. Thomas, and Elder Carey, always has his large mit extended for more money, and if he should happen to say anything in the pulpit during the course of his sermon worth remembering, he would spoil it all or drive it from the minds of his hearers in his mad effort to get more money, for his more than loud cry for more money for so many things that it is hard to keep track of him, and to the eternal shame and disgrace of the Colored people of this city. Many of the young women or girls belonging to the race, who should be at home assisting their mothers or out at work are constantly roaming the streets, and many times these young women and older ones too frequent tough resorts—where they hear men using all kinds of vile language, in order to beg or raise money for the purpose of maintaining Revs. Thomas, Carey and Murray in grand style, so they can live off the fat of the land, dress better, look slicker, feed better and take life far easier than Jesus did when he was on earth. If we possessed the power we would abolish or do away with Negro churches and establish in their stead ethical culture societies, and kindergartens, where the young and the old could be taught honesty and morality, astronomy, geology, economy and moral philosophy, thorough instructions in these common practical affairs of this life would implant into the minds of the coming generation of Negroes, new and enlarged ideas of the solar system and the immensity of the universe. Then the Negro would be able to learn that the God or the Gods of nature are no respectors of persons, that no power on earth can stop or prevent the God or the Gods of Nature from performing their functions, that their hands are not stayed by prayers and supplications, by no mother's prayers, by no wife's tears, by no man's wrath; that the God's of nature snatches the beautiful little child from the arms of its despairing mother and the tender parent from the side of the helpless children; that the Gods of nature have no compassion on the poor nor the unfortunate; that the hands of the Gods have never been stretched forth from the clouds nor the heavens to let the prisoner out of his dungeon, nor to liberate the slave. How long! Oh, how long! will the Negro continue to erect costly and expensive temples unto the Gods, while his children are growing up in rags, and tatters and in ignorance, and while poverty and squalor surrounds him on every hand. How long! Oh, how long! will the Negro continue to prostrate himself before an imaginary God, who cannot nor will not harken unto him nor answer HON. JOSEPH E. PLANAGAN his prayers. How long! Oh, how long! will the Negro continue to sing that "old familiar song that others can have all the wealth of this world if they will only give "me Jesus!" JOSEPH E. FLANAGAN, PRESIDENT OF THE FLANAGAN & BIEDEN-WEG GLASS MANUFACTURING COMPANY. There are not many men, nor women either for that matter, residing HON. JOSEPH President of The Flanagan & Bieden manufacturers of artistic and or in this city or county, or the State of Illinois, who are unfamiliar with the name of Joseph E. Flanagan, President of the Flanagan & Biedenweg Co., 63 Illinois street, manufacturers of stained glass of every description. By shear force and by possessing extraordinary ability Mr. Flanagan has succeeded in reaching the eminent position which he now occupies in the commercial world. It may not be out of place to state that Mr. Flanagan was born and raised in New Albany, Ind., and there in that beautiful and enterprising city he acquired much knowledge pertaining to his life-long business. In time he came to this great business center of the middle west to carve out a name for himself, and after working hard and saving a portion of his earnings, he finally succeeded in 1883 in establishing The Flanagan & Biedenweg Co., and from 1883 to the present time the company, which Mr. Flanagan stands at the head of has transacted an enormous business, each and every year, and it is now the greatest and the most extensive concern of its kind in the world. The Flanagan & Biedenweg Co. never employ less than one hundred and fifty to two hundred and twenty-five workmen, artists and designers. The church, memorial, society, domestic and stained glass windows turned out by the artists of the Flanagan & Biedenweg Co., are simply wonderful to behold; the numerous figures wrought upon glass by their artistic hands shows brain-work, patience and study and the figures of noted personages transferred on to the memorial windows look so real that one would almost think they were alive. These productions or goods are shipped to all parts of the United States and Europe; they won the medals and honors at the Columbian Californian medwinter, and the Trans-Mississippi Exposition, which proves that the Flanagan & Biedenweg Co. are the leaders in their line of business that their goods far excel those manufactured or fabricated by other concerns engaged in the same business. Mr. Flanagan is held in the highest esteem by those engaged in his line of business throughout the country. For two years he served as president of the National Association of Art Glass Manufacturers, and he favors everything which will improve and beautify Chicago. In 1990 Mr. Flanagan was elected as one of the com- missioners of Cook County, and he has served all of the people well and faithful in that capacity. So far he has donated over two thousand dollars of his salary as such to the country institutions. He is quite popular with all his associates on the board, and many of them as well as thousands of good citizens and tax-payers express the hope that Joseph E. Flanagan will be chosen as the next President, of the Board of County Commissioners, for he possesses a clean record and the FLANAGAN. Weg Company, the most extensiveimental glass in the world. ability to preside over its deliberations. Commissioner Flanagan and his interesting family occupy a very fine and commodious home at 2845 North Paulina street, where they are surrounded with everything that wealth can procure to ad to their joy and happiness. FOLLY. People will not try to use their reason concerning any creed, habit or custom. Every nation has its superstition. The Chinese pray before a mumbo jumbo made up at the sick one's house. If the person gets well they believe it was through their prayers. The Coreans believe there is a devil in every bush and tree. Yet they are just as intelligent as we are. We have just as silly superstitions. We cling to them and never use our reason. We pray for the sick, for rain, as though we really believe the Almighty hears us, although not once in a hundred times may the sick recover or rain fall. We pray the pestilence may be stayed—all in vain. Yet we go on praising and praying as if Omnipotence were flattered by our attention. HOLT. HYDE PARK CHAPEL A white citizen of Hyde Park gave to the Chapel last week $100. The Chapel is preparing for a big $1.00 rally on the 10th of next month. Rev. R. E. Wilson disappointed a large audience that assembled to hear him Sunday night. Next Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock Mr. M. W. Work, of the University of Chicago, will address the Sunday Club on "The Criminality of the Negro." The entertainment given by Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis and Mr. Albert Young was most excellent.

If the decent people residing in that district permit Piper, Gambler Terrell & Co., to open up their den of vice and crime, then we will be fully convinced that the so-called respectable people are no better than these despicable and notorious characters. The Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias gave their house-warming at their new Armory, 2821 State street, last Monday evening. Dancing and a mock trial were the leading events. S. A. T.

Monday last the executive committee of the Democratis State Committee of Illinois met at the Sherman House, and after a long session its members decided that the state committee possesses the right to issue the call for the primaries, which will select delegates to the state convention, the congressional, senatorial, legislative and the country convention. If the courts uphold the state committee in this new move it will mean the unhorsing of Mr. Robert E. Burke. Sunday afternoon last the Rev. M. M. Parkhurst, General Superintendent of the Citizens' League of Chicago, spoke at St. Mark's Church, in favor of the suppression of the sale of liquor to minors and drunkards, and during his remarks he reminded his hearers that "if they did not want policy-shops to exist right up by the side of their homes or churches it was up to them to take the first step to have them suppressed or closed up." That is just what we have told the moral committee of the South End Sunday Club through the columns of The Broad Ax; but Prof. S. D. Fowler and the other members of his halting committee rose up in arms against us for telling them the truth. But simply because Rev. Parkhurst happens to be a white man and a strong Republican, D. P. Webster, who read a long resolution in reference to Mayor Harrison, crap-shooting and policy-playing, and his associates on the committee, loudly applauded the reverend gentleman for telling them nothing new.

There was never an innocent and improving pastime, suitable alike to the learned and the laity, to compare in genuine fun and literary profit with the spelling "bee." So general has become the vice of bad orthography that signs multiply in favor of a revival of the "bee." There will be a little more difficulty than of old in agreeing upon a standard, but the words spelled more ways than one are comparatively few and not important. Teachers of spelling, the few that remain in the schools, should be the first to encourage the jolly "bee" and are liable not to be the last to be spelled down. ```markdown ``` 1 RAILWAY GROWTH. When we consider that there are over $11,000,000,000 invested in steam railways in this country and that transportation outside of agriculture is the largest industry in this country, it is with astonishment that some persons will read that the first man who ran a locomotive in this country is just dead in the poor house. We are willing to admit that there is a great controversy as to the actual engineer who performed this service, but the man in question was certainly one of the pioneers. Those who have reached only three score and ten cannot look back to a time when there was not a considerable development of railways in this country. So soon as they were seen to be practical there was a rush of capital to these enterprises, most of which were alded by the Nation, States or municipalities. In 1850 there were about 10,000 miles of railway either built or under construction, while much more was contemplated. The longest line was the Erie, which was completed the next year, and was considered a wonder, since it reached from the port of New York to Lake Erie. For twenty years more railways were built much as suburban trolley roads are now, and not until some years after the Civil War did the genius of Commodore Vanderbilt exercise itself in the amalgamation of short lines into trunk roads, the outgrowth of which forms the big systems of to-day. The railway is to-day the chief artery of commerce. We cannot suppose a return to the old condition of affairs, when the horse was the chief motive power and the canal was a wonder. To-day it is easier and quicker to go to Chicago than it formerly was to go to Harrisburg. We buy anything we want at a low price simply because distance has been practically annihilated. It is of interest at this time to remember that one life spans so large an amount of scientific development. Morally we may not be better than our fathers, though we trust and believe that we are, but surely in every other way we have progressed to an extent that the wildest dreams of the imagination could not have conceived when young gray-haired men first saw the light.—Philadelphia Inquirer. WORDS OF WISDOM. Rectitude is a perpetual victory. Men are respectable only as they respect. Nature hates monopolies and exceptions. Nature loves analogies, but not repetitions. Obedience alone gives the right to command. Sincere and happy conversation doubles our powers. No man ever stated his griefs as lightly as he might. The beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary. My creed is very simple—that goodness is the only reality. Never mind the ridicule, never mind the defeat; up again, old heart! The condition which high friendship demands is the ability to do without it. Omit the negative propositions; nerve us with incessant affirmations. Prayer is the contemplation of the facts of life from the highest point of view. Prosperity and pound cake are for very young gentlemen, whom such things content. The essence of greatness is the perception that virtue is enough; poverty is its ornament. The false prudence which dotes on health and wealth is the butt and merriment of heroism. The great are not tender about being obscure, despised, insulted. — Aphorisms From Emerson. England's loss of prestige has been very great—just at present and with the uninformed public. Her worst fault, which neither time nor argument can justify, was her peculiarly Anglo-Saxon condition of unpreparedness. She does not stamp "In God We Trust" upon her coins and let it go at that, as does one other country with which we are well acquainted. But the same motto hangs in dematerialized, spiritual form in every English home and every office of that Government. Not "trust in God and keep your powder dry," but trust to luck and pull through all right, as we always do pull through—this is the motto of the Anglo-Saxon whether he is confronted by a war with Spain on one side of the Atlantic or a war with the Boers on the other.—Julian Ralph, in the World's Work. Proof That It Pays. It has been estimated that not less than $200,000,000 is expended every year in the United States for advertising, chiefly in the newspapers. It is also estimated that 100 years ago not as much as $100,000 a year was paid for advertising. Then, and for many years later, merchants and others advertised mainly to help support the local newspapers, and not to promote business. Now nobody advertises in a spirit of charity, but purely as a business proposition. Every advertiser fully expects to get profitable returns from his advertising investment. That the business men of this country expend millions annually for newspaper space is the best kind of proof that newspaper advertising does pay.—Philadelphia Record. Historic Memorial Places and Buildings of the Great Battle of Trenton HERSHAW DADRACKS THE OLD PERRY HOUSE. MONUMENT ERECTED BY SONS OF THE REVOLUTION. The battle of Trenton was fought again recently in mimicry on the old battlefield, and the glory of the patriot soldiers of George Washington was sounded in the crash of musketry and cannon, the blare of brass bands, the uproar of human voices and the cadences of fine oratory. The feature of the day was unquestionably the sham battle'e, which was a facsimile, so to speak, of the real battle of a century and a quarter ago. Three mimic forces were in the field. They were those of General Washington and of General Sullivan and the Hessians. The original battleground was gone over and every care was exercised to make the sham battle as realistic and as historically accurate as possible. Excellent judges who were present said that history was re-enacted with remarkable fidelity as to the disposition of the troops, the firing, the losses on both sides, and the subsequent machinery of the action. There was one exception, however, to this precise realism. The American troops in this mimic battle did not suffer the pain endured by their ancestors because of insufficient clothing and protection from the cold. Down near the monument the first shots were fired. Then the battle raged for an hour through Broad and Warren streets. Colonel Gilmore of the Second New Jersey National Guard was in command of the Hessians. These troops steadily retreated before the American army, but halted now and again to fire a volley at the Yankees. The surrender took place at two points, first in front of the postoffice in East State street, and again in South Broad street. In the afternoon a memorial meeting, at which Governor Voorhees presided, was held in the opera house. THE OLD FE The address of the day was delivered by Professor Woodrow Wilson of Princeton University, who spoke on the political and moral lesson taught by the event commemorated in the celebration. "It was not until the war of 1812," he said, "that we began to assume our position as a nation of the world. Our expansion from time to time was a natural growth, finding a culmination in the acquiring of the Philippines as a result of the recent war with Spain." Those who took part in the celebration allowed their joy to be toned down by the memory of what happened that Christmas day in 1776, when the Germans and the loyal Britons were having a good time in Trenton, while on the opposite shore of the Delaware river General Washington and his brave compatriots, in their ragged clothes, were suffering severely from cold and hunger. It had been the plan of the revolutionists to attack the town on Christmas eve, and the Continental leaders had been busy for some days in making preparations. On the night of the 24th, however, General Washington had a consultation with General Greene, and it was decided to cross the river in three divisions. Christmas night was then selected for the movement, General Washington relying on the disability which the Hessians would suffer because of their Christmas good cheer. The place where the troops landed on the New Jersey shore was occupied by an old ferry-house, which is still standing. Four miles from Trenton General Washington partook of the hospitality of Benjamin Moore while the column halted for a hasty meal. As soon as the town came in sight Washington halted and addressed his men in these words: "There, my brave fellows, are the enemy of your country. Remember, now, what you are to fight for!" The first house to fall was the old place used by the Hessians as an armory and barracks. General Washington took his position on the high ground which is now Trenton avenue, whence he had a fine view of the fighting. The hero of the battle was General Mercer, who, wounded and sore, was urging his men from the back of his white horse, where he was felled by a blow from a British soldier. He was surrounded. "Call for quarter, you d——d rebel!" called an officer. "I am no rebel!" exclaimed Mercer, and struck out with his sword, but was quickly laid low by a dozen bayonets and left for dead. This was one of the most important victories of the revolutionary war, and was won at a cost of only thirty American lives. The battlefield is marked by a noble monument erected by the Sons of the Revolution. ECONOMY IN HIGH LIFE. People of Small Means Who Manage to Keep Up Appearances. The presiding genius of one of the most expensive dining rooms on the avenue was discussing his patrons with a friend. "I have patrons here," said he, "who never get anything but a cup of coffee or a salad at most, but then you see they are never seen anywhere else, except, perhaps, to order the same thing in some place where the prices even top ours. Yet such people are persons of small means, whose social prestige depends largely upon their being seen frequently at such places and such only. It is a factor in their financial credit as well. "They can't, of course, live on coffee and rolls, but the way they manage is this: They feed themselves in private—devour frankfurters and rye bread MESSIAN DADRACKS behind locked doors—expensive rooms, mind you; but to the world they live in style, and they keep a stiff upper lip even if no dinner has passed it in days. "Why, I know a couple who dress in the perfection of style, live in the '50s just off the avenue, and are often seen here—usually for the stereotyped coffee and rolls, once in a great while a salad or chop. I happen to know that woman gets her breakfast and her husband's over a 25-cent gas stove, and what they don't get here or in some similar place they eat in that fashion in their rooms. Of course they dine out a great deal; they go everywhere. "The man holds a rather prominent though poorly paid position; the wife is a general favorite; they dress perfectly (to do which, of course, rigid economy must be practiced somewhere), and they are seen at all the 'small and selects.' None of their friends, of course, are acquainted with these domestic details, and, indeed, they came to my knowledge in the most unexpected way."—New York Times. DIDN'T WORK RIGHT. Project to Nummilate "Bill" Was Not a Complete Success "Things don't allus come out as you sort o' hope for," said the old farmer, with a sorrowful shake of his head. "I've got a son Bill who thinks he is jest the smartest critter in this hull state, and a few weeks ago I got tired of his braggin' and thought I'd put a stop to it. I come up town and hunted, up one of those prize fighters and told him what I wanted. I wanted him to come along by my place about noon some day and give Bill some sass. That would put springs under Bill's heels and start a fight, and the prize fighter was to knock him out and let him know that he didn't own the airth. I bargained with him for $15, and one day two weeks ago he showed up. He --- looked like a tramp as he leaned over the gate and asked Bill how he come to be bow-legged. "Go on!" says Bill; who was washing up for dinner. "'And your feet toe in,' says the tramp, as he guffawed. "'Go on or I'll mash ye!' yells Bill as his hair begins to curl. "'And you are knee-sprung and lop-shouldered,' says the tramp, as he laughs like a mule brayln'. "That was enough for Bill. He throws me the towel and jumps for that tramp, and next minit they was squared off. I was lookin' to see Bill's heels fly up in short order, but durn my buttons if he didn't swing fur that feller's jaw and knock him clear across the road and half-way through the fence! It took us fifteen minutes to bring him to, and then we found that he had a broken arm, a sprained ankle, and a fractured kneecap. We had to take him into the house, and he's there yet and will be for a week to come, and I've got to pay his doctor's bill and mebbe $15 a week for his lost time. It was only yesterday that Bill says to me: "Dad, I'm the awfulest fighter in seven states, and three John L. Sullivans together couldn't knock me out,' but I didn't say nothin' in reply. I hate to hear him braggin' around, but you can bet I ain't goin' to pay for any more soft marks to come along and rouse him up and occupy my parlor for four or five weeks as a consequence."—Chicago Journal. NEW STORIES IN LAW. One Lawyer's Exorbitant Fee—How Much the Testator Left. A lawyer of some distinction, who began practice in a small New England town, says his first client required a MONUMENT OBJECTED BY SONG OF THE REVOLUTION. deed covering certain parcels of land sold to a neighbor. The deed was drawn in due form, and after its execution the client demanded his bill. It was $2. This amount was objected to as a most exorbitant sum for the service rendered. "I told him," says the lawyer, "that to enable me to draw the deed I studied two years in the Lancaster academy, and this cost me $200; then I spent four years in Dartmouth college, which cost me $250 a year more, and then I went to the Harvard law school for another year at a cost of $500. "So you see, Mr. Hines, that to get the necessary education to do this work I hud to pay out $1,700, and yet you think my charge of $2 is a large one." "The man looked at me for a moment in amazement and then exclaimed: 'Gosh! What a darned foci you must have been before they begun on you!'" From the same source comes the story of a lawyer who was said in his day to have drawn more wills than any one else in his county. Upon the death of a respected citizen there was much speculation as to the value of his property. The village gossip undertook to find out the facts. Calling upon Mr. Heywood—the lawyer referred to—he remarked: "Well, I suppose you made Mr Blank's will?" "Yes," was the answer. "Well, then," continued the gossip according to the New York Times "you probably know about how much he left. Would you mind telling me?" "Oh, no," said Mr. Heywood, in his slow way. "He left every cent he had." Millions in the Milk Trade. Outside the business of supplying New York City with milk, the farmers of New York state have an investment of $42,450,000 in cows, and a corresponding amount in dairy farms and fixtures, the total being not less than $150,000,000. --- KANSAS CROPS. The secretary of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture has just tabulated in comparative form statistics obtained from the U. S. Department of Agriculture year books. The tables are brief and graphic and calculated to surprise those who have looked on Kansas as a semi-arid state. Kansas ranks first in the value of wheat and corn raised for the five years 1896 to 1900, inclusive, and also for the year 1900 alone; first in the value of wheat alone raised in 1900; fifth in the value of corn alone for the same period; second, in the value of wheat and corn raised in 1900 per capita. The same authority gives the number of bushels of corn raised in Kansas in 20 years as 2,995,985,308, and the number of bushels of wheat raised in same period as 691,297,613. These are truly wonderful figures. In part they show the solid basis of value on which the securities of the Santa Fe railway rest, for the Santa Fe is to Kansas what the Pennsylvania railroad is to Pennsylvania, the chief transportation agency, with lines covering the state more generally than do those of any other company. A new booklet on the resources of Kansas is being prepared by the Santa Fe passenger department and will be ready for distribution early in the year. The booklet will contain statistics for the year 1901. TO THE GREAT NORTHWEST The Wisconsin Central Ry. will take you there in proper shape.

An Eastern Congressman was asking Congressman Dinsmore, of Arkansas, about his district and his residence. Mr. Dinsmore was pointing out Fayetteville on the map, when his friend remarked that he lived pretty close to the Missouri line. "Oh, yes," replied Mr. Dinsmore. "I speak both languages." Miles of Potatoes. Everybody knows that the John A. Salzer Seed Co., La Crosse, Wis., are the largest seed potato growers in the world, so when their President, Henry A. Salzer, recently purchased 21,000 acres more of ideal potato land, all wondered what for. Well, it is for potatoes—miles and miles of potatoes. Hungary MayRaise Cotton. Hungary hopes to be able to raise cotton, although the warm season is only five months long and the plant requires seven months to ripen. The difficulty is to be overcome by special preparation of the seed and by adding certain ingredients to the soil. In his book "Kim," Rudyard Kipling has told a simple and wonderful story. Kim is the child of an Irish soldier, lost in the native quarter of Lahore, India, and taken up by a Tibetan monk. He ultimately enters the mysterious secret service of the Anglo-Indian government. The book is full of the strange life and mystery of the Orient. It introduces us to the bazaars of the natives and the hidden sources of England's control of the great empire of India. James Creelman, the well-known writer and special correspondent, has written a vivid and stirring book, entitled "On the Great Highway." From personal acquaintance with kings, pope, and statesmen, patriots and authors, with yellow journalism, battle scenes and war episodes, he crowds the interesting pages of an absorbing narrative. The Brooklyn Eagle says of Mr. Winston Churchill's famous book, "The Crisis," that it contains "the best portrayal of Lincoln yet seen in fiction," and the Chicago Tribune says Mr. Churchill's are "the best historical romances any American has thus far produced." Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 20.—For many years Garfield Tea, the Herb Cure, has been earning a reputation that is rare—it is UNIVERSALLY praised! This remedy presents unusual attractions to those in search of health; it is made of HERBS that cure in Nature's way—by removing the cause of the disease; it is PURE; it cleanses the system, purifies the blood and establishes a perfect action of the digestive organs. It is equally good for young and old. The present population of Ecuador is about 1,300,000, including Indians. TRADIE MARK.

Rosthern, July 8th, 1900. Frank Pedley, Esq., Superintendent of Immigration. Sir:—We, the undersigned settlers in Saskatchewan, Township 43, Range 6, beg to submit the following letter. We came from Springfield, Bonhomme County, S. Dakota, in the spring of 1899, and settled where we now reside. We had considerable crop last year we put in on new breaking, and it was very good, and this year, 1900, our crop is excellent. Our wheat will yield about twenty bushels to the acre, the oats and barley are also very good, and our potatoes and root crop all that could be desired. We consider this a fine country and are glad we came, as our prospects could not be better. A poor man will get a start in this country much quicker than in Dakota. We are, yours respectfully, John H. Schultz, H. A. Goshen, S. Gors, B. H. Dirks, C. D. Unry, P. Unry, and A. Ratzlief. All from South Dakota. U. S. A. LORE OF WEDDING RINGS. Typify Eternity and Indicate Stability of Union of Persons. Attached to the use of the ring in wedding and other ceremonies from the earliest times there have been mystic meanings. Whether the plain band or the motto-inscribed article which the changing times brought into fashion, the ring has retained its significance attached to it as a sacred emblem or an emblem typifying sacred ceremonies. To the devoutly religious or the careless scoffer at religion the little circlet has its charm. Solemn betrothal by means of the ring often preceded matrimony in the middle ages and was sometimes adopted between lovers who were about to separate for long periods. Shakespeare has more than once alluded to the custom, which is absolutely enacted in his "Two Gentlemen of Verona," where Julia gives Porteus a ring, saying: "Keep you this remembrance for thy Julia's sake," and he replies: "Why, then, we'll make exchange. Here, take you this." The fourth finger of the left hand has from long usage been consecrated to the wedding ring, from an ancient belief that from this finger a nerve went to the heart.—Chicago Chronicle. These are Plain Words Marshfield, Mo., Jan. 20th.—Mr. J. F. King of this place makes the following statement: "I have suffered untold agony for twenty years with Lame Back and Acute Kidney Disease, and in that time have never been two days together clear of misery, and for some of the time I could not walk a step or even sit up. "Last spring, after trying many doctors and every remedy that could be thought of, I began a treatment of Dodd's Kidney Pills. The good results were almost immediate and for the last seven months I have seen more comfort and pleasure than I have for twenty years before. "Any one with Kidney Disease or Lame Back that will not try Dodd's Kidney Pills deserves to suffer." Non-Commital Platt. Senator Platt of New York is the most noncommittal man in the upper house of congress. He never makes a statement without qualifying it. George Gorham, the former secretary of the senate, met the senior senator from New York in the committee room occupied by the latter the other day. Greetings were exchanged. "Well, senator, how are you to-day?" said Mr. Gorham. "I am not as strong as a horse, but I am not as weak as a cat," was the reply. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulations free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is Syrup of Figs—and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by fathers and mothers. Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results from the use of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle—Syrup of Figs. Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be bought anywhere of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle.

Brunton, the wellknown English physician, is authority for the statement that biblical seers were epileptics; in his opinion visions are always due to disease. Professor Walter Fewkes of the bureau of ethnology recently returned from New Mexico, where, for the last several months, he has been trying to trace the connection of the Pueblo Indians, on the north, with those in Mexico, on the south. To Prince Yousupoff belongs one of the most valuable collections of diamonds in Europe. One portion, valued at 2,500,000 rubles, is kept at his estate at Arkangelsk, near Moscow; but the most valuable is at the Yousupoff Palace, in the Russian capital. Odd numbers have something to do, apparently, with the Boston mayoralty. Mayor Hart, the present incumbent, has been a candidate for the office seven times; Mayor Lincoln, a former executive, was also nominated seven times, and Josiah Quincy was a candidate on nine occasions. Sir Francis Grenfell, who, as governor of Malta, occupies one of the most important offices in the gift of the British government, is a man of large private fortune and high social connections, who owes his success entirely to his own efforts and not to the influence of money or friends. Menelik, the Negus of Abyssinia, is a monarch whose varied accomplishments make him in a sense the rival of the German kaiser. He drew the plans for the new royal palace at Addis Abada, he has supervised the construction of several public buildings and has displayed a talent for mechanical construction which is very remarkable. The price of existence with some people must be an eternal silence.—Two Men. She learned how brutal a man who is not ashamed of himself can be.—The Night Hawk.

DIET AND CHARACTER. An exclusively pork diet tends infallibly to pessimism. The free use of eggs and milk tend to make a woman healthy and vivacious. Beef, if persevered in for months, makes a man strong, energetic and audacious. A mutton diet, continued for any length of time, tends to melancholia, while veal eaters gradually lose energy and gaily. "Did the prisoner indulge in objurgations?" asked the young attorney of the witness. "No, sir," replied the latter. "I never knew him to take anything but whisky."—Pittsburg Chronicle. Chemist (to poor woman)—You must take this medicine three times a day after meals. Patient—But, sir I seldom get meals these ard times. Chemist (passing on to next customer)—Then take it before them.—The King. This death notice is credited to a Missouri paper: "Uncle Jimmy Simpson's obituary was unavoidably crowded out last week. Uncle Jim was a mighty good man, and we are sorry we could not print the notice of his death sooner." He—Of course, dear, I'll be back from the club in time for the opera, but in case it should turn out to be impossible, I'll send you a note by messenger. She—That's not necessary; it just dropped out of your overcoat pocket—Brooklyn Life. Famous Scientist (excitedly)—Something must be done to stop the spread of the opium habit among women. Great editor (calmly)—Very well, sir; I'll put in a paragraph saying that a hankering for opium is a sign of old age.—New York Weekly. Charles de Kay, while talking with an Irish gentleman who was staying at the Waldorf-Astoria, asked the visitor if he put his shoes outside his door at night to be blackened. "No," was the reply; "begorra, I feared they'd gild 'em."—New York Times. A musician, brought to despair by the poor playing of a lady in a room abve his own, meets her one day in the hall with her three-year-old child, and says, in a most friendly manner: "Your little one plays quite well for her age. I hear her practice every day."—London Tit-Bits. Merchant—Have you had any experience in chinaware? Applicant—Years of it, sir. Merchant—What do you do when you break a valuable piece? Applicant—Well—er—I usually put it together again, and place it where some customer will knock it over. Merchant—You'll do.—Tit-Bits. ISN'T IT TRYING To have a man call on you steeped in the odor of tobacco smoke? To have a man tell you how easily he accomplishes difficult deeds?

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 60 cents, express paid, to any address in the United States. Druggists also sell it. Address: Ozonized Ox Marrow Co., 76 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Illinois. --- Waiting for Business Is very poor business.
