The Broad Ax

Senator Cullom Would Not Permit His Children to Attend the Public Schools of Springfield with Colored Children. For many years the Negro has been led to believe that " he is only discriminated against in states under the control of the Democratic party," and that he enjoys, unhampered, every right in states controlled by the Republican party; on the surface this may seem to be true but it is as far from the truth as the sun is from the earth, for within the past few years have we not seen the late Governor John R. Tanner threaten to march to the borders of Illinois and with Gatling guns and flags flying blow to pieces every Negro who attempted to seek an honest day's work upon her soil? Has that incident so quickly passed out of our memories? Did we not behold Negroes shot down like jack rabbits, in the streets of Cartersville? Have we not observed Negroe children driven away from school houses not far from the grave of Abraham Lincoln, by Lily White Republicans, in violation of the laws of Illinois? Can the Negor become so blind to the truth—close his eyes and pass over these things lightly? If so, then he is incapable of drinking in those finer and more enobling sentiments which impels all honest men not to view the actions of the Lily White leaders of the Republican party through smoked glasses. Let us go one step further along these lines and look at the actions of the Lily White Republicans towards the Negro in the state of Oregon. The laws of that Republican state in reference to the Negro are as follows: Article 1. Section 35—"No free Negro or Mulatto, not residing in this state at the time of the adoption of this constitution shall ever come, reside or be within this state, or hold and real estate, or make any contract, or maintain any suit, therein, and the Legislative assembly shall provide by penal laws for the removal by public officers of all such free Negroes and Mulattoes, and for the effectual exclusion from the state, and for the punishment of persons who shall bring them into the state or employ or harbor them therein." represent this government at Glasgow, Scotland, expressed his highest approval of that atrocious act. In referring to that affiar, Mr. Taylor said: "We have no apologies to offer, and Urbana cares not what is said by other communities; we did what we thought was right, and in we have done anything we ought to be sorry for we are glad of it." It must be borne in mind that Mr. Taylor, who favors mob and lynch law, is a Lily White Republican, and he is still on the government pay roll. In the same states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and several other states which are and have been under Republican rule for a long time, colored people have been driven from their homes, mobbed and lynched, and shot down like wild animals within the past few years, and no great effort has been made by the Republican officials of the states referred to, to apprehend, nor to punish those who have been guilty of committing such crimes.. "Jim Crow" schools are being established in Philadelphia, Pa.; all these scenes and incidents should indicate to the thoughtful Negro which way the wind is blowing, and United States Senator Cullom, who is one of the leading Lily White Republicans of Illinois, who would not permit his children to attend the public schools of Springfield with colored children, should bestir himself, and endeavor to prevent the Lily White members of his party from assisting to heap contumely and injustice upon the Negro Since beginning this series of articles we have hastily traced the growth or the development of the Lily White spirit in the Republican party from 1890, down to the National convention held in this city in June, 1904, where the Lily White delegates from Louisiana were given a half vote in the convention, and former Governor Warmoth of that state became very warthy because he was forced to share honors in the convention with Negroes, and he contended that "if the Negroes are going to run the republican party of Louisiana we can't get the votes and we will never get through with trouble in Louisiana as long as political encouragement is given to the Negroes of the state." Governor Warmoth also let it be known that at the present time about 95 percent of all the federal offices in his state are held by the Lily Whites. Col. William Youngblood of Aalbama and William Vaughan, two of the leading Republicans of that state, as well as O. H. Chamberlin, the first Republican Governor of South Carolina, and the vast majority of the so-called Republicans throughout the South, believe that the Lily Whites should rule the Negro in all things, and that he should not be permitted to have a voice in the political affairs of this country. Therefore we must conclude with the following observations, that there are no politics in the South, that both races vote on the color line or the "Race Problem," that there is a strong sentiment in the Republican party to dump the Negro overboard into the deep political sea; that the most prominent leaders of the party in the past, and at the present time favor the Lily White movement; that ```markdown ``` MISS MARGARIE Queen of the "County Fair," and one "Smart Set" in C Thursday evening Miss Margarilee Curry, who was crowned queen of the country fair, which was held in connection with St. Mark's church, gave a reception in honor of Miss Grace Todd at the home of Mrs. P.

There is a certain doctor in the 47th block on Dearborn street, he is quite a flirt and a masher, and he thinks all the ladies are in love with him as he passes up and down State street smoking a cigarette as a cheap dude does. He's in love with a railroad man's wife. He keeps the passage warm from his office to the residence in the 48th block. Her husband's run is on the Santa Fe Railway, known as the death trap. When he is out the doctor has charge of his home. The doctor is married and has been for about a year. The doctor met the man's wife in the street; she was walking with a gentleman and the doctor spoke to her and told her to go home. She went home and he came in shortly afterwards and then he gave her a whipping. The neighbors became alarmed and rushed in and found the doctor whipping this lady. The doctor is noted for breaking up men and their wives. When he was in Pensacola, Florida, he broke up a man and his wife, took her money and diamonds and then he left the city. Mrs. L.

As painted by Mr. Roosevelt, the republican party almost discounts Providence. It is all-wise and all-beneficent. It is perfection, full-rounded, beautiful. According to Mr. Roosevelt, the time has come when those in charge of the government are omniscient and society's ills are at an end. The republican party is the answer to the sum total of mankind's efforts throughout the ages. It possesses exclusively all of the superlative excellencies hitherto known and a few newly invented ones. If it were as good as Mr. Roosevelt professes to think it is, there would be no further need of politics and we could even get along without the constitution. Mr. Roosevelt's letter of acceptance is in many respects an interesting document. Almost anybody can put questions to fit answers favorable to himself, which is a way of conducting the other fellow's case; and this is what Mr. Roosevelt has done. Having selected what he conceived to be the virtues of his administration, he frames an indictment on behalf of the people against these special virtues, thus giving the selected virtues an excellent opportunity to reply—and they reply for all they are worth. There can be no other issues save the enumerated ones involving these supposed virtues, Mr. Roosevelt contends. If these are not the issues, he says, there can be no issues. As usual, says the St. Louis Republic, Mr. Roosevelt overlooks the constitution. When he declares that he is unable to conceive what issues the democrats could possibly have, he forgets that they have had a Mr. Roosevelt in one of the three great constitutional divisions of government for the last three years and that the incumbent has wrought a great strain and damage upon the office. As a matter of fact, a president too big for the constitution is a very large, real, live and threatening issue and one sufficient to arouse most of the people in the country which suffers that condition. A lawmaking and lawbreaking executive is an anomaly calculated to impress the majority of Americans with the necessity for its removal—to awaken in them a fear for the safety of their institutions. Mr. Roosevelt is enough of an issue, were there no others. He represents anticonstitutionalism, the constitution subordinated to executive whim; and not all his enumeration of party virtues, real or pretended, can hide the fact of his dangerous personality. In electing a president, the people are bound to consider the man. The people choose between men. This campaign is peculiarly one in which character and temperament must be welled between the candidates. It is admitted on all sides that Judge Alton B. Parker is a safe man, of sound and conservative judgment, who, if elected, would not endanger the international and internal affairs of the country. His temperament and judicial training qualify him for the constitutional duty and responsibility. It is impossible not to contrast against these eminent qualifications the rash impulses, big militant ambitions and headlong proclivities of Mr. Roosevelt. In the very nature of things, the contrast is inevitable. The one man is amenable to the constitution, laws, principles and traditions of his coun- Roosevelt and Jefferson. In his "Naval War of 1812," volume 1, page 198, Theodore Roosevelt said that Thomas Jefferson "was perhaps the most incapable executive that ever filled the presidential chair." That would seem to be a most unjust criticism of the author of the Declaration of Independence, who acquired the Louisiana territory, who was twice president, founder of the University of Virginia and author of the bill establishing religious freedom in his native state. He may have been a weakling according to the idea 四 try. The other man is intolerant of all restraint. The issue is the constitution, or it is Mr. Roosevelt, as you please. If it were a campaign of mere attractions and Mr. Roosevelt were permitted to state them to suit himself, democracy might easily be robbed of all issues. But the question before the people is, among other things, the selection of a president. The requirements of office and the fitness of men are considerations. The requirements have reference to the constitution which created the office, and measured by them Mr. Roosevelt is seen to be wholly unfit. That Spencer Trask, head of the great New York banking house of Spencer Trask & Co., has decided to support Alton B. Parker for president, is one of the many announcements indicating a strong drift among business men toward the democratic candidate. Mr. Trask's reasons for deciding upon the course indicated are not less interesting than the fact itself. In explanation of his attitude, he says: "While President Roosevelt has been much more subdued and very quiet for the last two months, there is no telling when he will break out again, particularly if he should be elected for a full term of four years. In my opinion this is not the time to take chances. The personalities of the two candidates are before us, and we must judge them by the past. I do not think there can be any question that Judge Parker is a much safer man than President Roosevelt. Judge Parker has at all times shown a disposition to be calm and deliberative, to observe the law and the constitution, instead of his own personal desires. President Roosevelt's course, on the other hand, has always shown a tendency toward recklessness and a disregard of law." Mr. Trask was a Blaine republican in 1884, being a great personal admirer as well as political supporter of the "plumed knight." In 1888 and 1892, he supported Cleveland, and in 1896 and 1900, McKinley. He is an independent republican, but in common with hundreds of other business men he realizes and remembers that Roosevelt under restraint, during the campaign, and Roosevelt, elected to the presidency, are two very different men. In other words, Mr. Trask feels just like that Indiana man, with a little money invested, who said, the other day: "I wish I could be sure, when I go to bed at night, what Roosevelt will do in the morning." Large Denit in Revenues. The republicans belong to that class of people who take no thought for the morrow, hence the present condition of the national treasury does not trouble them very much. But the time is rapidly coming when the financial condition of the treasury must demand the attention of those in power. The New York Journal of Commerce, a financial journal with republican leanings, says it will be a fortunate thing for the democrats if they fall to elect their presidential ticket, because in such an event they will not be saddled with the responsibility of a large deficit in the treasury growing out of the laws and policy of the previous administration.—Houston (Tex.) Post. of Theodore Roosevelt, but who will live longest in the hearts of his countrymen? Jefferson is noted as a conservative statesman; how will Roosevelt be measured? Republican leaders are much worried about the continued "apathy" of their party. Senator McComas, of Maryland, says: "Something ought to be done to arouse the people." But it is because the people are aroused that there is such dense republican apathy.—Los Angeles (Cal.) Herald. A REAL CHANCE FOR ENTERPRISING CANVASSERS The demand for Professor W. E. B.

Connecticut Shirt Stitcher Becomes the Bride of a Rich Young Man New York Special. From the mill to millions is the great good fortune of Miss Ada Brierly, shirt stitcher. She is no longer the working girl of New Britain, Conn., toiling daily from seven a. m. to six p. m. Instead, she is now Mrs. Francis Edgar Talcott, of 7 West Fifty-seventh street, New York city, neighbor of the Vanderbilt, Whitneys, Oelricshses and others of the world of fashion and daughter-in-law of James Talcott, the multimillionaire dry goods merchant. The newly-wedded bridegroom is the youngest member of the family of James 1 MRS. FRANCIS E. TALCOTT. (Shirt Stitcher Who Recently Became Millionaire's Bride.) Talcott. Young Talcott started in at the bottom. Mr. Talcott also owns a large interest in the New Britain Knitting company, and with these two companies the young man concerned himself. Instead of living with his uncle, one of the richest men in Connecticut, the nephew chose to take a room in a quiet boarding house. This was two years ago. Day after day young Talcott applied himself strictly to business. One man particularly interested him—John Brierly, foreman in the "picker" room. A friendship sprang up between the two—the millionaire's son who wasn't afraid of work and the mill hand. Gradually the college boy found himself spending much of his spare time in the old man's company. Finally, one day he went home with Brierly. "My daughter," said the old man, as a vision clad in dainty white came to meet him, "Miss Ada. She works for the Parker Shirt company." When young Talcott went away after staying to a dainty tea prepared by the girl's own hands, he asked permission to call again. He called again and very soon. Gradually the calls became more and more frequent. Finally the acquaintance changed to an ardent courtship. The young man hadn't bothered telling his father nor his mother. He chose a wedding that was diametrically opposite to a family custom. He elected to go quietly to the parsonage of the Congregational church in New Britain. There Rev. Russell T. Hall, after assuring himself that all the necessary questions had been properly answered, made the mill girl and the heir to the mill man and wife. USE DESTRUCTIVE POWDER The war in the far east has been full of surprises, not only to the Russians, who have suffered so many reverses in their encounters with the Japa, but to military observers of other countries. Not the least im- V portant of these surprises was the discovery, early in the conflict, that the Japanese were using a new powder, vastly superior to anything previously known. It is called Shimose powder, named after the Inventor, Dr. Shimose, a Japanese chemist. Its wonderful power is shown by the fact that a shrapnel ball, which with ordinary powder breaks into only 20 or 30 pieces, with the new powder breaks into 200 of 300 pieces, and scatters destruction over a much wider range of territory. Indeed, it is pronounced the most destructive missile ever used. One hundred and fifty splinters from a shell loaded with Shimose powder were extracted from a wounded Russian sailor of the cruiser Varig, snaked in the harbor of Chemulpo in one of the first naval engagements of the war; and Lieut. Gen. Count Keller, the famous Russian commander, was killed by a splinter from one of these shells that burst over a battery whose operations he was watching during the battle of Yangtze pass on July 31. OPTIMISM CHARACTERISTIC Chinese Woman Declares It Is a Dom- Mme. Wong Kal Kah, the wife of the Chinese commissioner to the St. Louis fair, was asked the other day if she liked America. "I like it well," she answered, "so well, in fact, that I have bought a large tract of land in the west." "What appears to you to be the dominant American trait?" was asked her. 'Hopefulness,' she answered; "a cheerful perseverance, an industrious optimism. This trait governed a young man whom I met the other night at a dinner party. He was a medical student, and some one said to him: "Don't you despair of ever building up a practice in medicine? "Indeed, no,' he answered. "But you will admit that the profession is already overcrowded?" "Oh, perhaps it is,' said the young man. And then, with a laugh, he added: 'But I propose to graduate in medicine, just the same, and those who are already in the profession will have to take their chances.'" LEOPOLD'S $75,000 RUG. "King Leopold of Belgium owns one rug that cost a comfortable fortune in itself," said J. F. Caldwell, who represents an eastern carpet manufactory. "I have seen the rug, and it is a beauty. King Leopold paid £15,000, or $75,000, for it. I saw the rug when it was on exhibition in Vienna. It was made in the orient, and is hand tufted. Its age is its principal value, and it has been under the feet of royalty for probably a century. The rug is very large, measuring probably 60 by 75 feet. Few rugs like that come to America, though the millionaires sometimes pay as much as $5,000 or $6,000 for some. Few carpets are imported, as they can be made much better by machinery than by hand, and America excels in all machine-made goods. Large numbers of hand-made rugs, however, are imported every year from Turkey, Persia, Arabia and all parts of the orient. We have no labor capable of competing with their rugs." CAMPAIGN. FOB A NEW ONE Manufacturers of Novelties Working Overtime on Ornaments Symbolic of Presidential Election. Dealers in men's jewelry expect that a substantial business will be done from now on in ornaments symbolic of the presidential election. Already watch fobs are shown bearing metal tags on which are inscribed names of presidential and vice presidential candidates. Many designs are utilized, and the tags can be purchased independently of fobs, ranging at retail prices from a quarter of a dollar upward. Baggage checks are also duplicated as attachments for chains and fobs. Your choice of nominees may be had either in relief lettering or engraved. Manufacturers of novelty notions are working overtime nowadays turning out specialties emblematic of the campaign. Among the latest introductions is a miniature reproduction of the white house key, to be worn on watch chain. This creation is offered in a wide assortment of metals.

He had just returned from Hungary, where the Tokay grape is grown. "In the early '90s a vine louse made its appearance in the Tokay fields," he continued, "and in an incredibly short time had devastated every vineyard in the district. American shoots were experimented with and it was found that the louse refused to touch them, they being immune from its ravages. After these shoots had grown the first year, shoots of the Tokay plant were grafted on them, and these allowed to grow another year. The third spring they were cut down and wound about the root stem of the American plant, and allowed to shoot forth another year. But it was not until the fourth year that an attempt was made to garner a harvest." A Tall Youth. A European prodigy, known as "the long Josef," was born in Munich-Gladdbach on April 15, 1888. At 12 years of age he was six feet four inches in height and is now seven feet one inch. He is still growing and no doubt will become the tallest man on earth. His family name is Schippers. His father is a butcher. At present he is the principal attraction at the Panopticum, Berlin. He was born of normal parents and is the eleventh child. The first ten have developed quits normally. A London doctor advances the theory that a great deal of the prevalent baldness is caused by smoking. We are skeptical about this, remarks the Chicago Tribune. The indignant wife of a smoking husband may be tempted to jerk him bald headed, but she seldom does it. THE ONE MAN SHOW. TRUST ON MAN SHOW TRUST Ladies and Gents:The Next Number on the Bill Will Be the Marvelous Test of Strength. The Common People Will Endeavor to Walk the Entire Length of the Stage with Its Ponderous Burden. The democrats are united as they have not been before for ten years, and Parker and Davis will receive the normal state of the party with a good many recruits from their opponents. The republicans are split into factions on several issues. Nearly all the old Hanna machine men are disgruntled, as they see a young element of their party in the saddle and they will not pull hard on the traces unless they are paid for their work either in money or promises. In West Virginia, Delaware, New York. New Jersey, Massachusetts and Wisconsin the rival republican factions are intent on defeating each other and one or the other faction have no faith in or love for Candidate Roosevelt, though most of them declare they will vote for him. In these and other states there are minor factions and important republicans who, while keeping within party lines, are opposed to their candidate for president and do not mind saying so in private conversation. The glamour of the Rough Rider has worn off and the business interests of the country have more weight in politics than the imperialistic element. That is the great danger to the Rough Rider. The farmers have discovered that the trusts are bleeding them and that the high price of wheat is more than offset by the increased cost of what they buy. The workingmen are organizing politically for their protection, for the republican majority in congress refused to listen to their prayer for legislation for the eight-hour bill, the anti-injunction bill and other lesser laws labor thinks necessary for its salvation. All the republican leaders favor the open shop and most of them are openly in sympathy with the Parry organization of protected trusts and manufacturers. Wages are being reduced and strikes are numerous and the cost of living is still advancing, which does not inspire confidence in the economic policies of the republican party of those who are suffering from loss of wages and increased cost of food. The trusts have decreased the profits of the small storekeepers, while rents and household expenses are higher than ever before and the opportunities for increased business are monopolized by the great department stores which can purchase from the trusts at much less than the small storekeeper has to pay. People with limited incomes find their expenses have increased while their revenues are stationary. All these people are inquiring why the trusts should be protected by the tariff in selling their products at the highest possible price here and a much lower price in foreign countries. Many of the voters have discovered that the tariff prevents competition and fosters monopoly and the increased cost for their products which the monopolists charge is a much greater tax than the government receives. The revenues of the United States are declining and the expenses are greater than ever before in time of peace. Not only have the expenses of the government increased much faster in proportion than the population, but neither President Roosevelt, nor his cabinet, nor the republican majority in congress have offered any solution of the problem. They are all intent on "letting well enough alone," and have paralyzed the industries of the country with a do-nothing policy by fighting all proposals for reform. The government departments are extravagant and filled with grafters which the republican party has refused to investigate, although evidence was plentiful that but a beginning had been made in exposing the frauds through a parti- san investigation of but two bureaus of the post office department. Knowledge of all these sins of the republican party is finding lodgment in the hearts of many voters and they have determined on a change. Upon the surface of the political field all is still and serene, but there are mutterings in the homes of the farmers, the cottages of the artisans and the tenements of the laboring men that bode ill for the republican candidates. The still small voice of reason is working more changes of sentiment than the hired and blatant notes of the trust apologist can overcome, blare he never so loudly, and there is a quiet determination to "turn the rascals out." JUDGE PARKER'S TELEGRAM Facts Regarding Its Transmission to The Brooklyn Eagle is in a position to affirm and to maintain by proof these facts: That Alton Brooks Parker wrote the famous gold standard dispatch to William F. Sheehan, then in St. Louis, on Saturday morning, July 9, at 11 o'clock, and sent the same from the Esopus telegraph station. That the dispatch was so written and so sent on Judge Parker's own initiative, without consultation or communication with a single soul. That the dispatch was not written and sent in pursuance of a pre-arrangement and that those who advocated and advanced his cause in St. Louis had no foreknowledge of it. That Judge Parker reached his determination to send the dispatch after he had been informed by the New York papers of Saturday morning, and by that means alone, and had comprehended in its entirety the situation as to the platform in St. Louis. That Judge Parker did not anticipate or foresee the final action of the committee in its 16 hours session; that he did not have and could not have had knowledge of the events as they developed on Friday and Friday night at St. Louis, until eight o'clock Saturday morning; that during the 30 hours preceding the sending of the dispatch he had no communication whatsoever with any leader of the New York delegation, with any leader in the convention, or with any person of that convention or with any person in the east on any matter which could be construed as political. NOTES AND COMMENTS. President Roosevelt is quoted as writing that President Jackson was illiterate. Must be true. Made his mark at New Orleans.—N. Y. Herald. Motion raises temperature. The republican committee keeps Mr. Fairbanks moving with the idea that he may warm up before the campaign is ever.—N. Y. World. Big trusts contribute $10,000,000 toward Mr. Roosevelt's campaign. The magnates are paying for those white house lunches and for what they took away.—St. Louis Republic. —On his way to Oyster Bay, Mr. Roosevelt was delayed by a flood. There, may be a tidal wave next November—but it won't keep Roosevelt away from Oyster Bay; quite the contrary.—Albany Argus. —An esteemed contemporary has been mourning the decline of fiction during recent years. But the mournful plaints, be it understood, were made before the republican campaign text-book was issued.—The Commoner. A New York supporter of the administration affirms with great confidence that imperialism is a myth because it could not exist in free America. Nobody is afraid of it here. But it can exist in the subject Philippines. Philadelphia Record. Art of Taking Pictures of Microbes Is Simpler Than Might Be Supposed. The latest accomplishment of science is the photographing of living disease germs. Given the complicated machinery and processes required to get the negative films for any set of life-motion pictures, the method of securing the films for germ life is simpler than might be supposed. The living germs to be pictured are put on a lantern slide in blood or water or other suitable medium and projected on a screen, just as they might be by a physician giving a lecture and showing to the class the actual live germs and their habits. Alongside of the lantern is placed the machine for getting the negative films of the life-motion pictures, and it is operated—taking pictures of the projection on the screen at the rate of about 30 a second—as by the ordinary method. The lantern, as usually operated, magnifies the germ and whatever else the slide contains about 2,000,000 times. The negative film machine magnifies the image on the screen about three times, the resulting total magnification being 6,000,000. Once the film strip is obtained in this way it may be used in the ordinary life-motion picture machine again and again. Magnified to the extent named the germs of diseases which have been isolated and identified are readily observable. They are seen being born, moving about, growing, giving birth to other germs, and dying, just as they do in real life. The machine may be run fast or slow, or stopped at any picture, or it may be set back for a close or more detailed study of something which has already been observed. SARATOGA PLEASES WOMEN "The lady at Saratoga gets more out of her visit than does the gentleman who takes her there," says Charles E. Trevathan, in Everybody's Magazine. "She may do with impunity in Saratoga those things which she may not approach even in thought elsewhere, and it is perhaps because of this temporary freedom that she loves her Saratoga as she loves no other resort. It is the one environment through which she may move along if she like, the one acre of pleasure-making where the escort is not necessary to her pursuit of laughter. She may go through the drives alone in the forenoon, and she may stroll about the race course in the afternoon alone; she may dine alone and wine alone; she may sit out the concerts in the evening or watch the moonlight on the verandas alone, and there will scarce be comment upon her actions. She may, without fear, go alone anywhere and everywhere in the town that a man can go. And this is a privilege of which she does not avail herself. She merely gets a keen sort of relish in the idea that she 'could an she would.' There is more fun to be had with 'somebody along,' and the lady of Saratoga is rarely a person alone.'" At the time of Queen Victoria's funeral there was much comment in the newspapers about a mysterious wreath laid upon the coffin. It was one of the finest there, but bore only the words, 'O, Rest in the Lord!' No name was attached, and there was a great deal of speculation as to who had sent it. It has now been revealed that the wreath was placed there by Queen Alexandra on behalf of Miss Ada Crossley, the famous Australian contralto. She was often "commanded" to Windsor castle by Queen Victoria, who greatly admired her singing. Once she happened to choose her majesty's favorite song, "O, Rest in the Lord!" The queen wept bitterly and explained that she could never hear that song without thinking of her dead husband, the prince consort, who also had loved it dearly. This was the reason why Miss Crossley sent the wreath. Rainmaking as a Business. Twelve years ago this summer the "rainmakers" were at the height of their renown in western Kansas. In going back over its files the Smith Center Pioneer finds that it published this notice in 1892: "I wish to inform the public of Smith county that if they will deposit $500 in some bank of Smith Center, I will make it rain any week a committee appointed for the purpose shall suggest, and if satisfactory to them, I receive the $500, and if not, I receive nothing, after which, if desirable, I will enter into contract with Smith county to furnish rain for so much per cultivated acre through the crop season.—Rube Jarvis." Reason for Kuropatkin's Plaint. Gen. Kuropatkin's complaint that his men are too old calls attention to the fact that the Russian system tends to place rather old men with the colors in war time. The disability for service extends from the twenty-first to the forty-third year. The first four years are spent with the colors, and the conscript is then a reservist for 14 years. It is quite likely, therefore, that Kuropatkin has received many reservists of about 59 years of age. Japan's service age is from 17 to 40. Not a Samson Victory. The Yale and Harvard university athlete no longer wears long hair parted down the middle. Relieved of this artistic burden, he easily beats the men of Cambridge and Oxford. I heartily congratulate the men of Yale and Harvard on their victory at the Queen's club. There was no element of luck about it. They thoroughly deserved their win, just as much as the Oxford and Cambridge men deserved defeat.—London Truth. Melodrama. "My darling," cries the hero, throwing off his disgulse, "I am he!" "And I," falters the heroine, laying aside her reserve, "am she!" Meanwhile the villian cowers in the corner. "I am it!" he gibbers, for he has gone mad under the strain. Men may come and men may go, and all the time melodrama in its essentials is the same old story.—Pittsburg Press. Buttered Crabs. Remove the meat from large hardshell crabs, cut it up small and mix with bread crumbs in equal quantity; a little minced parsley, and season to taste with salt and cayenne; pack into the shells that have been well cleaned; squeeze a little lemon juice over them, cover with bread crumbs and bits of butter and bake in a moderate oven until nicely browned.—Household. A Meeting Well Timed. He—Do you think your papa would receive me civilly if I were to go to him and ask for you? She—Let me see. I believe you hold a mortgage on papa's business, don't you? He—Yes; and it's about to mature. She—You will be perfectly safe in approaching him at any time or place that may suit your own convenience. —Pittsburg Press. Kind Request. Among a number of notes received by a teacher in excuse for the absence of children was the following: "Dear Teacher: Kindly excuse Minnie for having been absent yesterday, as she fell in the mud on her way to school. By doing the same you will oblige the mother."—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Queer Sex. "Women are certainly queer," remarked the old bachelor. "What's the answer?" queried the inquisitive person. "The majority of them," replied the o. b., "would rather become pitied wives than remain envied spinsters."—Chicago Daily News. Tastes of the Tongue. The tongue is divided into three regions of taste, the first of which—the tip portion—is chiefly sensible to pungent and acid tastes, the middle portion to sweets or bitter, while the back is confined entirely to the flavors of roast meats, butter, oil, and rich and fatty substances. Sardine Salad. For one large box of sardines, take six hard-boiled eggs, drain off the oil from the fish, remove backbone, tail and skin and mix thoroughly with the eggs, minced fine, season with pepper and salt. Serve plain with vinegar or mayonnaise dressing.—Boston Globe. Go by Yourself. Do not govern your life, which is entirely individual to yourself, by another's outlook. Perhaps he could not accomplish what you have in mind; neither could you accomplish the task he sets for himself.—Commoner. Pompeian Fireplace During some recent explorations at Pompeii an ancient kitchen was unearthed. In the fireplace there was a kettle on the grate, just as it was left over 1,800 years ago by some cook residing in that city. An ever ready glue pot is a most useful piece of property. It is easily prepared by putting naphtha in a wide-mouthed bottle and dissolving shellac in it—Detroit Free Press. It is the duty of every man, especially in an insular nation like ours, to enlarge his knowledge of men and manners by getting out of his own country occasionally.—London Truth. Naturally Accurate. All the paraphernalia of a civil engineer isn't in it with the strong arm of a young man when it comes to locating the girl's waist line.—Chicago Daily News. Severe Marriage Laws. The Austrian marriage laws are very severe. They prohibit alliances between Christians and Jews, and between Christians and infidels. Doesn't Have To.
