The Broad Ax

EIGHT YEARS IN CHICAGO The Broad Ax Is Still Doing Business At the Same Old Stand, Despite the Fact That Many Attempts Have Been Made to End Its Existence. This City Is the Graveyard for Negro Newspapers, Some Fifteen or Twenty Have Gone Down In the Past Eight Years. Many of the Leading Afro-Americans In the Windy City Are Ignorant As to the True Mission of the Newspaper. Vol. XII EIGHT YEARS The Broad Ax Is St the Same Old Sta That Many Attem to End Its Existence This City Is the Grave papers, Some Fifte Gone Down In the Many of the Leading the Windy City A True Mission of the Eight years ago last Saturday, or more properly speaking, the 15th of July, 1899, The Broad Ax was launched upon the uncertain or the more than dangerous sea of journalism in this city, and according to the records kept by the superintendent of the second-class mail matter, Chicago postoffice, The Bread Ax is the only newspaper published by an Afro-American in this neck of the woods which has passed through that office once each week from the year and date written above down to the present time. At the time the writer blew into this big town from Salt Lake City, Utah, where The Broad Ax first made its appearance August 31, 1895, and never missed an issue in the four years it was published in that far-away western city. The wise ones and the knockers in this city all joined hands in declaring that "it was nothing but a little political or blackmaling sheet; that the white politicians with money would not support it; that its editor was a greenhorn or a hayseed from the country without money, therefore he would be unable to run it more than two or three weeks." But in spite of the predictions of the'wise ones and the knockers in this respect, The Broad Ax is still doing business at the same old stall, while almost twenty of its so-called competitors in this city have ceased to exist in the same length of time. When The Broad Ax made its appearance at this point eight years ago it had only one or two regular subscribers among the whites, and none among the Afro-Americans, but it has long since become a fixture in the homes of hundreds and hundreds of the best members of both races, and we feel safe in saying that there is not another newspaper edited by au Afro-American in this section of the country that is "read as extensively among the wealthiest and the middle class of Anglo-Saxons as The Broad Ax," for the names of hundreds of these two classes of Anglo-Saxons have been on its mailing list from July 15, 1899, down to the present time, which clearly demonstrates that they do not stop to figure on the color of a man's skin as long as they are of the impression that they can learn something from his writings. It pains us to make this statement; nevertheless it is absolutely true, and that is that the majority of the whites, rich or poor, will always pay their indebtedness to newspapers more readily and more cheerfully than many Afro-Americans. There is only one way to account for this fact, and that is that the vast majority of the Afro-Americans have not reached that point in civilization to fully realize the power and the influence of the newspaper, however small and insignificant it may appear, and that is the main reason why so many Afro-Americans treat their own newspapers with scorn and contempt. Many times the question has been asked, how is it that "The Broad Ax continues to run when so many other papers fail." Our only response is that question is simply this, that at no time do we permit pleasure to interfere with our business, and by pursuing an honest course in our dealings with our fellow men, and by working day and night, we have succeeded in brushing aside all opposition. In order to get on a solid foundation at the beginning and to keep down expenses the first two years after we began publishing The Broad Ax, at this point, each Friday evening, as the paper came from the press, it would be wrapped up in a large bundle, which we would throw on our shoulder and start for the street cars with it, and on arriving home we would pitch in and fold all the papers ourselves, and Mrs. Taylor, who had during the week addressed the wrappers, made a little paste out of flour, and after she had finished wrapping the papers either late Friday night or early Saturday morning, in order to save express charges, we would wend our way to the State street cars with the papers on our back headed for the postoffice, and our effort in this direction was productive of much good, for it enabled us to pay our bills promptly, and as stated before, by working day and night The Broad Ax continued to spread out over the country, and the result is that to-day it takes three girls two hours each, and a man to work the mailing machine for the same length of time to get it ready to mail, and an expresman now hauls it to the postoffice. So it will be observed that economy and hard work has been the great secret of what little success we have met with in the journalistic world. Within the past eight years many efforts have been made by those who hate to hear the truth to crush out The Broad Ax. Some of the immoral, whisky-drinking preachers joined hands with gamblers and several other so-called newspaper men, and actually endeavored to have it excluded from the United States malls; that that would be the best method to pursue in order to choke it to death, but they have all utterly failed in their diabolical schemes in this direction, and The Broad Ax is stronger and more popular to-day than it was prior to the fights made on it by the preachers and the gamblers. The Broad Ax is the only race paper published in this city that stands strictly on its own merits. In order to exist it has never been placed on sale on Sundays in any church like the rest of the alleged newspapers, whose would-be editors send their papers free to preachers, so that they will be enabled to pick up a few unearned dimes by urging the Divines to recommend their sheets to the members of their flocks, and to induce them to turn over their job printing to them. No newspaper is worthy of the patronage of the general public if it is compelled to resort to such methods in order to exist. In the past eight years the editors of these transitory papers have not only furnished free copies to the majority of the preachers for the purpose of influencing them to aid their editors to knock out The Broad Ax, but some of them have also carried advertising matter free of charge, or for almost nothing, with the view of HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, JULY 20, 1907. M. A. S. killing it off, but with all their scheming they have utterly failed to shake the solid foundation of The Broad Ax in the slightest degree. It can be truly said that this city is the graveyard for Negro newspapers, for to our best recollections something like twenty papers have started up and gone down in the past eight years. Some of them have flourished for two or three months; others not so long; even the oldest church paper went fast to sleep for six months. So many of these papers falling in such a short length of time tends to prove that it is more than a notion to run even a small weekly paper without saying anything about running a daily paper in the interest of the race, which would not receive any better support from those who should support it than the weekly newspapers. All could have been easily prevented the Indians were the easiest people to manage that ever lived. They were honest, simple and confiding as children, kind and good humored, with few exceptions. Like all people they were some few mean, low down nives among them who were despised and looked down on by their tribe. Government had only to establish about seven stations with a regimen at each, and to enter into a solemn treaty of offence and defence with the most powerful tribes, and used all its influence to preserve peace among the tribes, then to have strictly an sternly enforced the laws of the treaty with its own people and the Indian. Had that been done, the most helper family with its outfit might have gone over all the regions of the West and never have been molested, on the contrary they would have found friend In conclusion we again wish to heartily thank those who have loyally supported The Broad Ax for the past eight years, and at the same time it may not be out of place to state that many of the "leading Afro-Americans in this city have clearly convinced us that they are entirely ignorant as to the rights and the true mission of the newspaper." GOVERNMENT'S NEGLIGENCE. There never has been any government so negligent of some plain duties as our own. Where a little boll but cheap prevention can be used with effect, it just lets things drift their certain way to destruction. This coal famine is an instance. Any boy would have known that it must end in suffering and death to thousands. But nothing was done. Just so we drifted into the civil war. But the most glaring examples on Government negligence has been with regard to our public lands and the Indians and Western settlers. Let us look at the last. Indians and Settlers. For a century the preachers have been invited by the Government to settle the lands between the Ohio River and the Pacific. First to the Wabash, then to the Mississippi, and next to the Missouri and later on to the Pacific Coast. Instead of regulating and protecting and directing, our Government with all power and ample means, just let things drift with the certainty that Indians would be wronged and enraged and that thousands of its white citizens would be cruelly destroyed. The Indians as we knew were delivered up to the agent and traders to rob and impose on them. Payments were withheld till Indians starved in purpose to play into the hands of traders. How easy to have managed so that the settlers and pioneers to the farther west could all have been safe and even guarded by the Indians, instead of being pursued and attacked. The whole way across the plains was made a hell on earth for over eighty years. All could have been easily prevented. The Indians were the easiest people to manage that ever lived. They were honest, simple and confiding as children, kind and good humored, with few exceptions. Like all people there were some few mean, low down natives among them who were despised and looked down on by their tribes. Government had only to establish about seven stations with a regiment at each, and to enter into a solemn treaty of offence and defence with the most powerful tribes, and used all its influence to preserve peace among the tribes, then to have strictly and sternly enforced the laws of the treaty with its own people and the Indians. Had that been done, the most helpless family with its outfit might have gone over all the regions of the West and never have been molested, on the contrary they would have found friends and aid at need from any Indians they met. There can be no question of this now, after all is over and thousands of lives of red and whites horribly sacrificed. Instead of management and prevention that Governments are made for, all was left to the greed and devilty of a few whites and to the aroused vengeance, hatred and hellish cruelty of the savages, the wild, simple children of nature. It was so easy to prevent, and so cheap. Yes, there was the rut. All was abandoned to the few greedy irresponsibles. And all is now so left. We must have Government. And it must be Government of and for the whole people. And if we do not see to it that such a rule over this continent will be exercised, the matter of necessity must be assumed by those who will see to it. More and more as time passes and population increases this necessity is pressed upon us. And if such absolute rule is not exerted by each state it must be done by the control power at Washington. For one part we stand for state rule, city rule and country rule. The smaller the compass over which this absolute police rule is exercised the better for liberty of individuals—Holt. L. L.

COL. JOHN R. MARSHALL With Staff and Members of the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guards Loudly Praised by Col. Robert M. Mitchell, Who Says: "It Is One of the Best Military Organizations In the World." Its Band Under the Leadership of Prof. William Berry Cannot Be Surpassed. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax, Chicago, Ill.: Dear Editor:—I beg the privilege of extending through the columns of your paper my sincere thanks to Colonel John R. Marshall, his staff, officers and members of the Eighth Regiment for the generous hospitality and kindly treatment which they extended me during the recent encampment at Camp Lincoln, Springfield. I desire also to call the attention of the public to the good and wholesome work which this organization is accomplishment for the material advancement of the race, under the guidance and direction of Colonel Marshall and his efficient officers and obedient soldiers. ence of the men justify me in saying that the Eighth Regiment is a superb military organization. I remained at the encampment for five days, a close observer of the conduct of the nine hundred men, and did not see a single man intoxicated or acting any way unbecoming a soldier and a gentleman. The band, a part of this military organization, deserves special mention, for I believe it equal to any regulation band in the service of the United States, and too much honor cannot be conferred upon Mr. William Berry, its efficient teacher and leader. It is to be regretted that our leading men, especially those who reside in Chicago, do not give this organization more of their presence en I have had some experience with military affairs, and with men who were in control of military organizations, and I can say that I have never met an organization of this kind that surpasses the Eighth Regiment in army discipline and in every detail which is essential to army perfection. The apparent culture and refinement of its officers, the strict adherence to army rules, and the obedi- ALBERT MORGAN. Receiving Clerk for Thirty-five Years for Wilson Brothers, Manufacturers and Importers of Gents' Furnishing Goods. There are very few Afro-Americans in this city holding more responsible positions than Albert Morgan, who resides in a two-story flat building of his own with his good wife, Mrs. Morgan, 3427 Armour avenue. For more than thirty-five years Mr. Morgan has been receiving clerk for the great firm of Wilson Brothers, manufacturers and importers of gents' furnishing goods, and it goes without saying that if Mr.Morgan was not thoroughly drilled in business, and was not up to snuff, he could not for one minute occupy such an important position and retain the confidence of his employers. Aside from business, Mr. Morgan is a political factor in the Third war, and in the coming contest between State Senator Ettleson and Congressman Martin B. Madden he will line up with Alderman Milton J. Foreman, Major John C. Buckner and others, as against the upstart State Senator and his crowd, and in favor of the re-election of Congressman Madden. DEATH OF MRS. LUCY CHURCH ILL. Mrs. Lucy Churchill 3445, Armour ave. who had resided in this city for many years and who was more than 77 years old, died early Tuesday morning at Provident Hospital. It appears that on the morning of June 25, Mrs. Churchill, Mrs. J. E. Elish, and John H. Howard, who made his home with Mrs. Churchill, managed her property and collected the rents for her, had one or two friendly glasses of wine together, and it seems that Mrs. Churchill attempts to get up out of her chair and walk out of the kitchen door into the back yard, and just as she was in the act of doing so, it is said that she fell and struck her head against a pail full of water, and when she was picked up from the fall, one of her eyes was cut out, she was taken at once R.

It is to be regretted that our leading men, especially those who reside in Chicago, do not give this organization more of their presence, encouragement and financial assistance than they do. In this particular I perhaps deserve as much adverse criticism as those I am now complaining about. In conclusion I repeat that Colonel Marshall and the officers and members of the Eighth Regiment are entitled to our moral and financial aid, as well as our gratitude. R. M.

The Coroner's inquest was held over her body Tuesday afternoon, and Wednesday morning and Mrs. Blish, testified in sum and in substance to the effect that "Mrs. Churchill, did not fall on the morning of June 25, and strike her head against the pall full of water, that she was struck in the head with a plate by John H. Howard," and largely upon her testimony he was held over to the Criminal Court to await the actions of the Grand Jury. Thursday afternoon funeral services were held over the remains of Mrs. Churchill, at her late home conducted by Revs. A. J. Carey and D. P. Roberts, and she was laid to rest in Oakwood. Jacob L.

THE PEKIN. Manager Motts of the Pekin theatre announces for the coming week ‘new edition of Captain Rufus,” the big military spectacle which has heTi the boards at this thestre for the past three weeks. “Captain Rufus” has caught on with a vengeance, capacity houses having been the rule ever since the opening night. The pleas- tng feature of the performances at the Pekin has always been the rare smging chorus and in “Captain Rr fus” this chorus has been augmented by the addition of thirty trained vot ces. The members of the stock com pany are now thoroughly settled in weir parts and the production goes with a vigor that is, to say the leas’, rather surprising considering the hot weather that has obtained since this pisy was put on.

Surgeon General Rixey has called attention to the curious fact that the navy, unlike the army, has no regular corps of trained nurses, and at the next session of congress he will urge the necessary appropriation for the organization of a nurse corps. With 45,000 he feels that he can make a respectable beginning in the organization of the proposed corps. Italy's tragedian, Tommaso Salvini, has got ready for himself a magnificent walnut wood coffin. Salvini has just been to Florence to assist in varnishing his coffin, which after his death will be sealed inside an enormous solid block of marble in the family mansoeum at the Porte Sante cemetery, in Florence, with the simple epiphath, "Tommaso Salvini, nineteenth century actor." To be worth $3,000,000 or $4,000,000, with a palace in fashionable Portland place and peers and ambassadors for neighbors, that is the lot of Henry Arthur Jones, the richest and most successful of living dramatists. He has literally "held the stage" these thirty years, ever since he produced the little one act piece, "It's Only Around the Corner," at the Theater Royal, Exeter, as far back as 1878. General Louis Botha, the Boer leader, while recently in London learned that a famous military chaplain, Mr. Collins, was ill in the Millbank Military hospital and every day sent the sick man an exquisite bouquet. Mr. Collins was the chaplain who from Splon kop and Pleters hill reported manfully the great humanity and fairness of the Boers and their leaders in those sangulary engagements of the South African war. The French government is providing instruction in problems of aerial navigation in connection with the military establishment and the aeronautical clubs. The most important military post is at Chalais-Meudon, between Paris and Versailles, where La France, the first dirigible balloon ever built, was tried by Colonel Renard twenty-three years ago. Aeronautical work, it is said, has been carried on at this post for more than a century, it being a combined arsenal and experiment station. A fund is being raised at Mabie thorpe, Lincolnshire, England, to repair the belfry and bells of the old parish church. In all the there are five bells, pitched in the key of F. No. 1 treble bell is undated. No. 2 bell bears the date of 1824, the third bell, dated 1724, is badly cracked; the fourth bell is also dated 1724, while the tenor bell, which weighs 1,100 pounds, needs bands to prevent further cracking. The present belfry door was erected in 1714. For some time it has been considered dangerous to ring the bells. Captain Thomas Franklin, who is responsible for the food of the cadets at West Point, makes the following interesting statement: "For four years I have pasteurized every gallon of milk used in the cadet mess. We average 180 gallons a day, nearly all of which is drunk by students, very little being used in cooking. Previous to the time when we began to pasteurize the milk we had some cases of typhoid every year, and just before I put in the cadet mess the necessary plant to pasteurize the milk we had quite a number of cases. Since the milk has been sterilized there has not been a case of typhoid fever in the corps of cadets. It may be a coincidence, but I think not."

Professor Mosetig, who was drowned recently by falling into the Danube, had long been famous in this country as the discoverer of the use of iodoform in medicine. He was without doubt one of the greatest surgeons of the present era. M. Safanoff, the Russian conductor, never uses a baton, though that weapon is usually regarded as indispensable by men in his position. Instead he waves his arms, clinches his fists and fights the air in a manner rather disquieting to the ordinary concert goer. John Redmond, M. P., is noted for the melodious character of his oratory. Not only is he one of the readiest of the house of commons debaters, but he is also one of the most eloquent. He possesses, in the opinion of many good judges, the finest and richest voice of any parliamentarian. Tahiti's widely known "pearl king," E. Levy, having amassed a fortune in picking up gems among the islands of the Tuemotu group, has sold his trading schooner and will retire from business to enjoy life in Paris. Many of the pearls which he procured and dealt in are now owned by European royalties. Miss Katherine Elkins, daughter of the senator, is an enthusiastic equestrian and when on horseback always affects the most masculine looking garments. She invariably wears a derby hat, a stiff linen collar, small black tie and cutaway coat. She has magnificent black hair, but she conceals it under her hat, and it is said that in mischief she finds a positive delight in being mistaken for her brother. PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

In the front yard of a home on East Ninth street a rope dangles from a branch of a tree. "Wonder what that rope's for?" asked one man of his companion as the two were passing the house. "Go in and ask if you're curious," the other advised. A young woman came to the door. "We—that is, I was sort of curious about what that rope on the tree is," the inquisitive one stammered. "Why, that's Johnny's swing," the young woman answered. Out the door dashed Johnny, fox terrier. A leap and he fastened his teeth in the rope and, growling and jerking, signified that he was ready to swing. The young woman pushed him back and forth until he reached the topmost branches of the tree. "Johnny would stay there hanging on that rope all day if we would let him," she said.

Think of a girl so loyal to the naval officer she admires that she wears a steel bracelet wrought out of a section of the metal used in the ship on which he went on getting his commission! Such bracelets are worn by certain Washington girls. So are belt buckles of brass made in the shape of guns, anchors or shields of army or navy. Women show a fondness for adornment made of historic relics. The secretaries of war and of the navy are besought frequently for permission to appropriate bits of shells or of hulls of Spanish vessels destroyed at Santiago, sections of which are on view in the departments. Mr. Metcalf contemplates removing the cards from these relics in order to avoid the need of saying "No" to pretty, pleading maldens who would so much appreciate a part of a scabbard or a jewel from a historic sword. A Gaudy Banner. In celebrating what is regarded as a new era in the life of the international bureau of American republics incident to the opening of proposals for a pan-American temple there was displayed on the bureau building at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Jackson place a few days ago for the first time the newly adopted banner or burgee of the pan-American bureau. It is quite a striking object and attracted general attention. It is made of bunting eighteen feet long and eight feet across the base. It represents the twenty-one countries associated in the bureau and contains all the colors in the different flags of the twenty-one countries. Running through the center in large letters are the initials of "I. B. of A. R." At the top are small sections of blue and red, and at the bottom are yellow and green sections. It is almost a permanent rainbow. Furbishing the White House. The annual cleaning of the White House is under way. A large force of painters is now at work on the structure, and pretty much all of the four months the president is absent will be utilized in renovating and cleaning the exterior of the old building. As the first step toward a coat of new white paint a portion of the walls are being scraped and burned to remove the loose pigment and blisters, many of which have been found on various portions of the building. The walls of the White House were not painted last year. The experiment of washing with a highly recommended preparation was made. This was unsuccessful, as the wash seems to have cracked the paint and left the walls in bad shape generally wherever it was applied. Traffic In Rock Creek Park.

Hotel Like Noah's Ark The inquiry for a man named Wolf at the Palmer House, in Chicago, evoked such response that the manager asserted "a gamy collection of traveling men" was present. "Have you a gentleman here named Wolf—Leopold Wolf?" the clerk was asked. Dave Lyon made the inquiry. He was answered in the affirmative and sent up his card. "Just tell him there is a Lyon after him," he said to the boy, with a laugh. "And if it will help any," said a traveling salesman standing near, "tell him a Bear is after him also." He then handed over his card, bearing the name Victor Bear, New York. While they laughed over the incident John A. Fox of Cincinnati, secretary of the rivers and harbors congress, stepped up and said, "And to make it a gamy bunch put a Fox into the kettle." Before the quartet stopped laughing John W.

John Morrissey's Bet With Oakey Hall and Hubert O. Thompson. When the offices of the New York corporation counsel were lately moved from the Staats Zeltung building and were finally installed in their new quarters much of the ancient furniture which had been in the building since the time of Delafeld Smith was sent to the junkshop and replaced with new. Among these pieces of furniture was an old horsehair sofa which had a history all its own, for on it in both the days of Delafeld Smith and William C. Whitney those people who wished to obtain an audience of the corporation counsel were invariably invited to sit. Among other strange tales which this ancient piece of furniture could tell is of a meeting which took place upon its broad surface of three men, now long passed away, who were in their time inveterate gamblers, though only one of them was professionally engaged in that business. One day John Morrissey, Hubert O. Thompson and Oakley Hall all arrived in the outer office at the same time. The three men exchanged greetings, and all three sat down on the old sofa. Morrissey was fingering the horsehair cloth when he came across a hair. His betting instinct at once manifested itself. "I will bet either of you gentlemen," he said. "a thousand dollars that I can pull a longer hair out of this sofa than either of you." Oakley Hall took it up. "I will bet you a thousand," he replied. Not to be outdone, Hubert O. Thompson said he would take a hand in the game also. The stakes, $1,000 each, were produced from bulky pocketbooks and then and there handed over to an employee of Mr. Whitney's department. Each man then took hold of a hair, while the other employees of the office gathered around in breathless excitement to witness the result of the strange bet. Jim Powell, the head stenographer of the department, was the man who held the money. He died many years ago. But there are others still alive who remember the shout of boyish glee with which Morrissey held up a hair nearly two feet long. He was easily first in the betting, for neither Oakley Hall nor Thompson came within six inches of him. Just as Morrissey tucked the $3,000 away in his wallet the bell rang, and John McCann, Mr. Whitney's messenger, came out. "Mr. Morrissey, will you step inside, please?" he said. "The luck is John's today," growled Oakey Hall, who was in a hurry. "He'll be there an hour at least."—New York American. Chinese Carpenters There are few more skillful workmen in the world, according to Mr. Barrett Smith's statements in the Engineering Magazine, than the native Chinese carpenters. This is hardly surprising, considering the extensive use of wood for all kinds of construction in China. But more surprising is the fact that for countless generations the Chinese have not changed the form of their tools. The Chinese carpenter's favorite tool is a little hatchet, with which he can cut surfaces as smooth as those produced with a plane. Only recently has the hammer of the western world begun to find a place in the Chinese carpenter shop. Heretufore the Chinaman has universally used the back of his hatchet for hammering. The gradual introduction of iron nails has brought the hammer with them. An Athletic Poet. Theodore Tilton not long before his death was speaking to a friend about some of his former literary friends and acquaintances and was asked if he had known William Cullen Bryant. "Yes, indeed," he replied. "Bryant had the finest head and beard of modern times. One day, it must have been in 1872 or 1873, I had an engagement to meet him at his private office at 8 o'clock in the morning. I arrived about ten minutes before the hour, and what do you think I found him doing? Practicing athletics, holisting himself up and down from the lintel of the door by his arms and touching the lintel each time with his chin. He was then almost an octogenarian!" Hall Caine's Autograph. Hall Calne has a great horror of the autograph hunter, but during his visit to America he was trapped by a wily collector in a very curious way. One day a porter at the hotel brought him a registered letter. He signed the receipt and was then asked to sign a second paper, which he was told had to be returned to the sender of the letter. New to American ways, he did so, and when he opened the letter he found it to be a note of thanks for his autograph, which he had, of course, appended to the paper—London Tit-Bits. The Plains of Abraham The historic plains of Abraham will be dedicated as a national park at the celebration next year of the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of Quebec, provided those most prominent in the commemoration are able to have their way. At present the plains are marred by a rifle factory, and instead of listening to the demand that they remove to another site the owners of the plant demand more room. Seals Are Following the Buffalo. From latest reports it is clear that our great seal herd is rapidly disappearing as the result of poaching and in spite of the efforts of the United States authorities. Today there are only 180,000 seals, where there were 7,000,000 fifty years ago. The history of the buffalo is about to be repeated. HUMOR AN EYE FOR BUSINESS. Transaction In Which Strabismus Was Not a Handicap. "There is a small cross eyed boy living in this city who if he doesn't lose his life through just retribution will grow up to become a great financier," declared Jones. "For some time my wife has possessed a yellow purp that has no earthly excuse for living. But she thinks that he is the finest dog in the city and spends most of her time hugging him and kissing his dirty little nose. Finally the dog worship became so unbearable to me that I resolved to end the nuisance. Chancing to meet a small cross eyed boy one day, I said to him: "See here, boy, do you want to earn a dollar?" "Sure!' said he. "Well, then,' said I, 'you go up to my house, watch your chance and steal the yellow cur that you will find hanging around there. When you get him bring him down to my office and get your dollar.' "Within two hours the boy was back with the cur tied to a rope. "What will I do with him, boss? he asked after I paid him. "I don't care,' I snapped. 'Drown him if you want to.' "That night I discovered my wife in tears, and I was informed between sobs that poor, dear little Fido was missing. The next day she had an advertisement inserted in all the papers offering $10 for his return. The third day she met me joyfully at the door and announced that Fido had been found. "Where? I asked, concealing a groan "‘A little boy brought him back,’ she answered. “‘What kind of a boy?’ I asked suspiciously. “‘A small cross eyed boy with the most honest face that I ever saw on a boy. I gave him $10, it being all I had, and told him if he would go down and see you that I knew you would be glad to add $5 to it.’ “But the boy didn't show up. As a matter of fact, I hadn't the slightest idea he would. I wouldn't mind giving him $5 if he would call.”—Detroit Free Press. False Signal "You don't believe in romance, eh?" said the old boarder. "You bet your tintype I don't," sighed the young man with the bandage around his head. "I had my share." "How was that?" "Well, you see, I was forbidden to call on my best girl, and every night she would sit out on the balcony and at a certain hour strike a match. That would be the signal for me to stick my head through the vines and kiss her." "Ab, very poetical!" "Yes, but the other night I saw the match flare up, stuck my head through the vines and got the worst thrashing I ever received. You see, the old man happened to be out there lighting his pipe."—Chicago Tribune. Johnnie's Story. Little Pitchers. Tommy—Why, Mr. Smith, you didn't go in the ocean steamer after all, did you?

A half a hundred hens one day— At least the story goes— Talked o'er their rights and wrongs and then In hot rebellion rose The rooster had been lord of all— A cruel tyrant he. They sought to take him down a peg Or two or maybe three. One squawk, then at him did they fly And picked and scratched like mad. They drove him here and dragged him there, And used him very bad. The wrath of months fell on his head; The job was very clean. He looked as though he'd filtered through A harvesting machine. And since that day the world has come To this conclusion tense; A henpecked man looks bad enough, A henpecked rooster worse. —Joe Cone in Judge. T Mr. Hamnatt—I say, McBooth, here's an article about a fellow who walked around the world. Mr. McBooth.—An actor, by Jove!—Washington Star. Get Wise! A New York business man was telling some friends not long ago of the disadvantages of having two telephones in his business office. "A new office boy entered upon the discharge of his duties last week," said the merchant, "among which duties is that of answering the telephone calls. The very first call resulted in his coming to me with the statement: "You're wanted at the phone by a lady, sir." "Which one? I asked, thinking of the two phones. "Well, sir," said the boy, after an embarrassing pause, "I-I think it's your wife, sir!"—Harper's Weekly. Penalty of Vanity. Two tadpoles lived in a meadow pool. One tadpole was exceedingly vain and kicked around until he developed a pair of pale green legs and arose to the dignity of a frog. The other tadpole was sluggish. "Hurry up!" said the new frog. "Why, you are the slowest thing in all the meadows. Without legs you will never be noticed." "And that is just why I am not raising them," replied the slow tadpole. "It doesn't always pay to be noticed." And now the slow tadpole still swims among the rushes while his valn brother has long since been served up on crispo toast—Detroit Tribune. Tonyy's Last Name The story is told of how a little girl had been listening intently to her mother reading "Uncle Tom's Cabin" aloud, and finally when the story was finished the child raised her blue eyes questioningly and said: "Why is it, mother, that the book never mentions Topsy's last name?" "My child." replied the mother, "I guess she had no other name." "Oh, yes, she had, and I know it!" returned the little girl. "Well, what was it?" "Why, Turvy-Topsy Turvy." — St Louis Republic. He Meant Well. Not long ago a young Irishman was seeking work in western Illinois, and among those to whom he applied was a farmer near Cairo. The farmer was attracted by the Celt's frank, cheery manner, and while he was not in need of help he asked after a pause: "Can you cradle?" "Cradle!" repeated the Irishman. "Sure I can! But, sir," he added persuasively, "couldn't ye give me a job out of dures?" Saved From a Drunkard's Grave. Two farmers were standing on the roadside talking over town topics when Silas said: "I hear Mrs. Jones saved her husband from a drunkard's grave." Hiram inquired: "Don't say! Why, how did she do it?" Silas — She had him cremated. — Judge's Library. In Training. Eva—I hear that Ethel is learning pole vaulting. I suppose she will soon be quite a jumper.

The birth of a male heir to the Spanish throne has for the present simplified the question of the succession, a matter that has been responsible for much disturbance in the empire as well as in the rest of Europe. The trouble was acute so long ago as 1700, when Charles II. of the house of Hapsburg died childless after making Philip, grandson of Louis XIV. of France, his successor. This first Bourbon king of Spain was not recognized by the other powers till after a long war, concluded in 1713. Phillip, known as the fifth of Spain, proclaimed the Salic law the next year, limiting the succession to his male descendants. His great-grandson, Ferdinand VII., one of the royal victims of Napoleon's ambition, was restored to the throne in 1813. In 1829 he married his fourth wife and abrogated the Salic law in spite of the protests of his brothers and of the French Bourbons. His daughter Isabella, born in 1830, was proclaimed queen on his death, three years later, with her mother as regent. Isabella's uncle, Don Carlos, asserted his claim to the throne under the Salic law, but the regent succeeded in maintaining her daughter's position. Don Carlos' descendants have ever since been pretenders to the Spanish throne. The present Carlist claimant is his grandson. Queen Isabella was driven from Spain by a revolt in 1868, and two years later the Spanish succession caused a fresh commotion in Europe. The proposition to call to the throne a prince of a branch of the Prussian royal house of Hohenzollern was the apparent though not the real cause of the great war of 1870 between France and Germany. The throne was offered to Prince Amadeo, a son of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, but the task of governing Spain was too much for him, and after a few years he abdicated. Then a republic was set up, but it lasted only two years, and Alfonso XII., the son of Isabella, was restored to the throne without the shedding of a drop of blood. On Alfonso's death in 1885 his daughter Maria succeeded him and was queen till Alfonso XIII, the present king, was born, a few months later, the ninth of the house of Bourbon to rule over Spain. If the new prince should die and Alfonso have no other children his sister's son would succeed him, and in the remote contingency of the direct line of descent from Ferdinand VII, becoming extinct the Carlist claimant would become king.—Youth's Companion. Steel Pavements Paris is experimenting with what is called steel pavement. It is really a concrete pavement re-enforced with a steel framework. The metal part of the pavement is a plate of perforated steel, with strong bolts of steel running through it between the perforations. Each section has some resemblance to a steel harrow, only the prongs project equally on each side and they are square and blunt. It will be superior to asphalt in ultimate economy and to wood both in the better footing that it affords to horses and in the fact that it will not admit of dangerous ruts developing. The sample laid cost $5.40 a square meter, a little more than a square yard, but when the work is done on a large scale it is believed the price can be cut to about $4.50. A Midday Nap Club "What we need down here in the rushing office district is a midday nap club," said a lawyer of large practice, "a place where a fellow can run in for a few winks of midday sleep without the danger of being awakened by some erratic caller. A quiet lounge in a secluded room, every fellow to himself and a man to call you at the moment designated, and I venture the thing would be a success. Moreover, I believe a few winks of sleep in the middle of the day would do much to relieve the nervous tension under which most of us labor, prolong our lives and avert many a case of nervous prostration. I make the suggestion in all seriousness and hope soon to see it put into effect."-Philadelphia Record. "The" Tyrol. Apropos of Major Martin Hume's recent protest against the incorrect use of the definite article before "Asturias," it is interesting to hear the denunciation of "the" before Tyrol, made by Mr. Balliele-Grohman in the London Chronicle. It is "Tyrol" without the article, he says, for there is only one Tyrol. A "Bavarian Tyrol" and an "Italian Tyrol" do not exist, and therefore "the Austrian Tyrol" is also a wrong expression. Still, probably half of the people who visit Tyrol, in summer or winter, throw in the superfluous "the." Coolness In Danger One of the women in the Kingston earthquake showed what she thought was great coolness. When the first shock had passed she hurried out on to the lawn in front of her hotel, blessing her stars for her escape. She felt that she was perfectly cool, for she remembered that she had left her powder puff behind and determined to have it. Her manner of recovering it was as cool as the rest of her conduct. She sent a black servant into the totering building after it—Chicago News. HILLMAN'S STATE & WASHINGTON STS. ON EVERY PURCHASE Jacob Feinberg 81st and State Streets J. J.
