Editor and Proprietor THE GAZETTE, Wick Block, Cleveland, Ohio Member Ohio Legislature, 1894 to 1896. 1896 to 1898. 1900 to 1902. ALLLED PRINTING TRADEST COUNCIL CLEVELAND THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. The editor of the New York Age has been "gushing" over President Roosevelt in the recent issues of his paper. Our confrere evidently wants a place and wants it badly. May he get one soon is our earnest wish, but as the result of other effort and the good work done for the party in the past. New York City's fusion republican mayor, Seth Low, seems to have forgotten the 25,000 Afro-American votes he begged so earnestly for before election, pledging fair treatment in event of his election. He received most of them on election day. Since his advent into the office on January 1, not one Afro-American has received any recognition whatever and thousands of places have been given to democrats, republicans, socialists, etc. Even Tammany democrats have been given fat jobs. The New York Afro-American republican is to be pitied. No wonder our good friend, Editor Timothy Thomas Fortune, moved recently to Red Bank, N. J. Any "old bank" as a place of residence for an Afro-American republican ought to be preferrable to New York City. The Crumpacker resolution, which calls for a reduction of the congress representation of every state that has adopted an act or passed a law disfranchising any considerable number of citizens, if adopted by congress, is the best and only solution of a bad problem, all things considered. A section of the fourteenth amendment of the United States Constitution requires this very thing, and is mandatory in the requirement. Therefore in demanding the passage of the Crumpacker resolution, Judge Crumpacker and all of his supporters, which should include every republican in congress, are but doing a sworn duty. North and South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi and Maryland have too long, already, nullified and abrogated a portion of the fundamental law of the land and are breeding a disregard for it, which will sooner or later again threaten the stability of this government. Meantime, loyal Afro-Americans should not lag for a moment in united support or the effort of the National Afro-American Council to test in the United States supreme court the constitutionality of the disfranchisement amendments to the state constitutions of North and South Carolina, Louisiana and Mississippi and the disfranchisement law enacted by the Maryland assembly. The Hon. John Webre, naval officer of the port of New Orleans, is dead. The position is one of, if not the best federal position in Louisiana, and carries a salary of four or five thousand dollars a year. For many years one republican president after another has given the place to one of the most prominent Afro-American residents of that state. President McKinley appointed Mr. Webre. As our people constitute about nineteenth of the republican party of Louisiana, such action is very proper. So many serious mistakes have been made in the recent federal appointments in Mississippi, and so much harm done, not only in that section, but throughout the north, where dissatisfaction exists as the result of the appointment of vicious democrats and white republicans to places that Afro-Americans are entitled to, that it would prove a most serious political blunder for President Roosevelt to appoint either a democrat, "lily white" republican or other than an Afro-American as naval officer at New Orleans. The Afro-American press of the country are watching with an eagle eye that new southern policy and are analizing every southern federal appointment President Roosevelt makes. If a radical change does not come soon, and at least, deserving white and colored republicans of the south are appointed to federal offices, a republican president will not succeed President Roosevelt. Mark our prediction! THE AMENDMENTS. Says Justice Harlan: "It is not the words of the law, but the internal sense of it that makes the law; the letter of the law is the body, the sense and reason of the law is the soul." By the above we are to conclude that the constitutional provisions adopted in the interest of liberty and for the purpose of securing through national legislation rights inhering in a state of freedom and belonging to American citizens have been so construed as to defeat the ends the people desired to be accomplished and which they supposed THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1902. they had accomplished by changes in the fundamental law. The supreme court departed from the rule requiring that in the interpretation of constitutional provisions, the fullest effect should be given to the intent with which these provisions were given. Congressmen prove themselves as ready to misinterpret the meaning and intent of the constitution, but they do this in emulation of the same motive actuating the spirit of the court in its purpose to misconstrue the law. The effect of this purpose to misconstrue the law has been felt upon the body politic of the country, and especially in those sections where men would ignore and defy the law. Justice Story sustains the propositions laid down by Justice Harlan in the opinion "That a clause of the constitution conferring a right should not be so construed as to make it shadowy or unsubstantial or leave the citizen without a remedial power affording him protection or redress." Justice Story sustains Congressman Moody in the brave and ample position which he has taken in vindication of the rights of the citizen. Nobly has Congressman Moody expressed it when he declares that congress is not restricted to legislation for the exertion of its powers so granted, but for the protection of rights guaranteed by the constitution. So strikingly has Justice Harlan exposed the injustice of the misconstruction of the law that it seems little less than partisanism on the part of the court than that of patriotism and loyalty to the cause of the government. But the fact, nevertheless, exists, and the spirit of patriotism has become the rule of the hour. It has long since been determined in the fundamental law what rights are guaranteed. The thirteenth amendment has obliterated all color lines and the doctrine of political freedom hangs not upon any implied power, because the terms of the recent amendments are absolute and universal. These amendments did more than conferring rights and privileges. They decreed protection to the freedom thus established and exemption from those discriminations which the disloyal element now seek to establish. The state may regulate those things which come within its own jurisdiction, but no state has power to abrogate the fundamental law or to ignore any measure of the general government prohibiting discriminations and favoritism. Hence to meet any peril that might arise against the Afro-American that the purposes of the nation might not be doubted or defeated, the fourteenth amendment declares that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of the citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty of property without due process of law." The logic of the opinion, of the majority of the court is, that the general government cannot in advance of hostile state laws interfere for the protection of the rights of her citizens. If this be true, and it is not, then it follows that no citizen is secure in the exercise of his political freedom and no citizen can claim the rights guaranteed by the general government. But congress prescribes the duties of the state and the nation regulating the powers of each prohibiting any infringement of the one upon the other, consequently the court is at fault in its purpose to ignore the express power of the government acting within its own jurisdiction. The government of the people is morally and lawfully bound to restrain the state within the constitutional limit of its powers, and it must, in evidence of its own good faith, protect its citizens in keeping with its high decree. OUT FOR BLOOD! Delegate Redford Shoots Porter Grimes-Others Refused Hotel Accommodations. Pittsburg, Pa.—Quite a number of Afro-American bricklayers and masons from all parts of the country attended the thirty-sixth annual convention of their national organization held in this city last week. Among them were: F. B. Norman, of Newark, O.; A. Brown, of Atlanta, Ga.; Thos. H. Cook, of Savannah, Ga.; W. S. Sumter, T. B. Bronson, of Jacksonville, Fla., and Mr. C. Berry, of Youngstown, O. The latter and Mr. Kull, of Louisiana, who was also in attendance, were refused accommodations at the Monongahela house on account of their color. Edward Grimes, 21 years old, an Afro-American porter at the St. Charles hotel, was shot one morning last week by Nicholas C. Redford, 29 years old, of Richmond, Va., one of the race delegates. The latter said Grimes had insulted him. After striking Grimes, Redford shot twice, one ball entering the left leg and the other the right hand. The young man has been employed at the hotel during the past two years and always bore a good reputation. Death of an Old Soldier. New Castle, Pa.—Rev.

(Continued from First Page.) sand voices and 140 instruments are pouring forth strains which will ring in my ears till time with me shall end the product of the brain of this giant youth not yet past his 26th birthday. He had heard the chorusing it before, he had conducted the rehearsals of the orchestral parts, but this was the first time that he or anyone else had ever heard the combination of orchestra and chorus of the work, for the orchestra had rehearsed in London and the chorus in Leeds, 186 miles apart, and this is to be their only combined rehearsal. At the proper time that great cantatrice, Albani, entered, and was given a cordial greeting. Can you imagine the delight, the emotions I felt as I sat there and saw that which three years ago I had never dared to hope, to behold a black man standing before me conducting one of the very first musical organizations in the world, and that organization performing the work of that same Negro, not "levon songs" or "rag time" ditties, but a classical work of the first and highest order. Then my mind contrasted that scene with one in my own "land of the free" (?), where (in Cleveland) a little "scratch orchestra" struck because a Negro was to conduct them and a chorus of his own people in performing that which he himself had written. I thought, too, of the many able men and women, perhaps equal to S. Coleridge Taylor, if allowed to develop, who had spent a miserable existence in the cotton fields and again and again been sold upon the auction block. Then, too, of how they would have lynched him in some parts of the "land of the free," if he had given evidence of even a desire to stand at the head of an organization of "the best people" (?) to conduct them. He is a most sensitive man and again and again did he stop those great musicians to go over page after page which they had not rendered to please him; nor did a single one demur. The rehearsal ended all too quickly for me and people flocked around him to congratulate him, and I hardly need tell you that our trio was among the number. He invited us to supper at the Queen's hotel, where he was staying. There three-quarters of an hour was spent most pleasantly. He then accompanied us to the train and at 11 o'clock we were on our way back to Edinburgh, which we reached five hours later, having traveled 340 miles to witness this great event. I felt repaid a hundred fold, for had the trip been as far as from Edinburgh to New York, it would have been more than worth it to me. For weeks after this event I was singing "Mine Eyes have seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord." F. J. LOUDIN.

Derrick, in an address delivered before the Ministers' Union of Greater New York, declared that Bishops Potter and Doane were crazy in advocating Sunday saloons, and in discussing the race question attacked those who advocate only industrial education for the Negro. The meeting was held in Bridge Street A. M. E. church in Brooklyn and Dr. M. C. Brooks, the newly elected president, presided. Bishop Derrick said in part: "You don't want to preach from your pulpits the doctrine that the Negro is to be the recipient of only industrial education. The Negro is just as susceptible to high things as anybody. We cannot afford to preach the doctrine of ony industrial education, for it is a well-born doctrine and if you preach it you preach just what Satan has always been preaching—lies." In referring to Sunday opening the bishop said: "Another thing that is threatening the nation is the destruction of the Lord's Day. We should speak out on this subject and be heard, for we have not all gone crazy like Bishops Potter and Doane." CHARLESTON EXPOSITION Excursion Tickets Now on Sale via Pennsylvania Lines.

Milliken, the wealthy chemist, mine owner and capitalist of this city, who is a brother-in-law of Albert T. Patrick, the lawyer now on trial in New York, on the charge of murdering Millionaire William Marsh Rice, on Wednesday made a statement to the press in regard to the report that he had been offered a bribe to have Patrick compromise the will of 1900. He said: "A short time before the trial of Mr. Patrick began, I was called to New York and offered $50,000 by certain attorneys to have Patrick compromise the will of 1900. We declined to accept any offer that would not exonerate Mr. Patrick of the charge of murder and stop the prosecution. A reply of such character was made to our refusal that led me to believe we could get $250,000 if we would compromise. We again declined, as no one was in a position to deliver what we wanted and the negotiations ended." "It is not money we want," continued Mr. Milliken, "but vindication, and it is 191 this purpose that I am defraying the expenses of Mr. Patrick in the trial now in progress. "When I was called to New York by my attorneys I found that all the heirs of the late Mr. Rice, or their representatives, with Capt. James A. Baker, of Houston, Texas, representing the so-called Rice institute, were assembled for the purpose of dividing the estate of Mr. Rice. Their meeting resulted in the drawing up of a contract, the terms of which gave $75,000 to each brother and sister, or their representatives, and the balance to the Texas institute; but the lawyer (Norman Gibbs, of Mount Vernon, Mo.), who represented the Missouri heirs, compelled the other claimants to put a clause in the contract declaring it null and void if Mr. Patrick should be cleared of the criminal charge against him. It was while this meeting for a division of the estate was pending that we were offered $50,000, which offer I declined." Making Others Happy. Cholly—I don't know what to do with myself this afternoon. Algie—Nor I. Say! Let's each go and call on some girl or other and propose.—Somerville Journal.

The time has come when our people should patronize their own, and Mr. Lacy has stood firm for the period above mentioned and is not only representing himself as a true man, but his race. The proper time to call upon him, so he can give you his whole attention, is from 2 p. m. to 10:30 p. m. Encourage him and benefit yourself. Rev. J. H. Collett, of the Baltimore conference, A. M. E. church, succeeded Rev. Leak as business manager of the Philadelphia Christian Recorder. The latter had only served part of his time and was a failure. Rev.

Be sure to read the Bailey Company's advertisements in The Gazette and patronize them. In one o. the department houses on Prospect street, this city, the janitor and wife were called down by one of the tenants of the place for not allowing their servant some special privileges, and charging them with trying to form social equality. It so happened that one of the reporters for The Gazette was present and saw that it was a case of respecting a man's position regardless of color. So the proprietor informed the tenants that the janitor's wishes must be respected or they must get out. Mr. C. C.

Rev. E. D. Dandridge, of Shiloh Baptist church, followed Rev. Chas. Bundy, of St. John's A. M. E. church, in a "roast" of the "Christian" Alliance on Central avenue. At all times a plain speaker, he was unusually so Sunday morning in his bitter denunciation of the mission. He started by saying: "I am going to tell you some plain facts this morning. If there are those who do not like what I say, I do not care, as I am not a bread and butter minister, anyhow. The 'Christian Alliance' is detrimental to the Christian church. 'Christian Alliance' is a delusion. There is none perfect, only one. 'Sanctification' should be termed 'eranktification.' Oh, that the Lord would give us good sense." Rev. Dandridge certainly talked to the THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 25, 1902.

The Afro-Americans of the Fifth councilmanic district are casting about for a good race candidate for the council, as one must be nominated and elected this spring. The Germans, the Irish, the Jews and about every other nationality in the republican party of that district have in the past been represented in that body and is high time that our people's turn should come. The large Afro-American population in the district is entitled to the recognition, especially as under the McKinley administration our people of this city were practically ignored when the many federal appointments were made during the past five years. The Fifth district has the largest Afro-American population of any of the districts in the city. Wait for J.

Teamsters' Strike Is Followed by At- tacks on Non-Politicians Boston, Jan. 23.—The Brine Transportation Co. is now the sole object of the attacks of the striking teamsters, 19 of the more than 20 master teamsters who have heretofore refused to abide by the new schedule having signed the agreement with the union men yesterday. The first real trouble yesterday occurred about noon. A man named Scott cut a rope on one of Brine's teams that had been picketed on India street and the load fell to the ground. A crowd of sympathizers gathered and for a time prevented the police from assisting the driver to reload nis team. Scott was arrested, as was a man named Whitty, who smashed a policeman's helmet with a piece of iron which he had thrown at a driver. During the afternoon there were no serious disturbances until about 5 o'clock, when five of the Brine Co.'s teams left their India street office for the stables in South Boston. Sixteen mounted officers accompanied the wagons, besides others on foot. All the way there was one continuous battle with the mob. Duby Got the Verdict.

Over the entrance to the house of the American Gociety of Mechanical Engineers, at 12 West Thirty-first street, there hung the other night what looked like a column of cold, ‘blue white light, four inches in di- ameter and four féet high. It gave @ brilliant illumination to the street for nearly half a block. Inside the house the auditorium was lighted by five ‘similar lights, but of lesser di- ameter, and the light of the hall was almost like sunlight. Beneath these lights, which looked like big candles, sat several hundred members of the Anterican Institute of Elecirical En- gineers to listen to the reading of a paper on “Electric Gas Lamps and “Gas Electrical Resistance Phenom- ena” by the young inventor of the Yamps, Peter Cooper Hewitt, son of Abram 6. Hewitt. Six years ago Mr. Hewitt came to ‘the conclusion that a better and eheaper light than that ‘supplied by either the are or incandescent lamps sould be obtained by the use of a gas as the conductor instead of the #iim used in the incendescent lamps. He began to experiment, with the wesult that he has obtained such a Hight, and, except for the perfection of « few details, is ready to put it on the market. Mr. Hewitt’s lamp consists simply f a glass tube, with a bulb at. one end, into which he introduces the gas generated from mercury. The tubes, when filled, are connecteu with the ordinary eleetrie power in any build- img and the enrrent turned on. The @as acts as the conductor, and as eon as the switch is turned the tube is flooded with light. < JMr. Hewitt says he can produce his Might at one-eighth the cost of the incandescent lamps and one-third “the cost of arc lamps and of gas amps. ‘Great Siberian Waterway. Capt. Joseph Wigins, the arctic ex- plorer who discovered the Kara sea route, has reported to the Anglo- Russian society the result of his in- westigation of the coramercial routes ‘of Siberia, He declared that the @Trans-Siberian railway is inadequate yto handle the volume of freight it is sealed on to carry, and urged Russia ‘to develop the waterways of Siberia. “There is no country in the world, mot even the United States,” said ry, Wigins, “that possesses river woufes as magnilicent as those of Siberia.” A Bore. “Mrs. Latto—How did Mrs. Bilkins ever wget the reputation for being such a bore?

Once upon a time there was a wo- man who married a man to reform him. And she did, says the Baltimore American. She made him quit his evil ways, and he did not drink, nor chew, nor smoke, nor swear, nor stay out at ‘nights. Tn fact, he became as mild as skim milk. Now when this result was achieved the woman began to worry. (He had lost his charm for her. She discov- ered that she had been more inter- ested in his faults than in his vir- tues, because after she had panned him’ out he didn’t assay worth a cent along the line of good qualities. He was simply a negative equation. But the man had some sense, after all. He saw what was bothering her, so he swore just a little, and drank just a little, and smoked occasion- ally, and took a chew on the sly. ‘Then she had the fun of reforming him all over again. And she was perfectly happy, because she could point with pride to him at regular intervals. Moral—A little backsliding adds to he dnterest ot the wood work. KU Three Tons of Sparrows. The annual sparrow hunt of Pleas- ant township, Ill, came to an end, and as a result over three tons of sparrows were killed. The hunt was indulged in by two parties of farm- ers. Twenty men on each side en- gaged in the hunt, the stakes being a banqwt to be given by the party securing the fewest birds. The vic- torious party brough# in 13,000 birds, while the losers bagged 11,000, a total of 24,000. The birds averaged four ounces each, making an aggre- gate weight of over three tons, The hunt has been in progress tor one week and was one of the most ‘notable in the history of the state. eee es Urges Fiction in Teaching. Dr. Arnold Tompkins, of Chicago, emphasized the value of literature in the arousing of the higher ideals of school children at a recent teach- ers’ convention at Lincoln, Neb. He declared that the teacher should thoroughly understand the purpose of every work of literature before attempting to teach it. Fiction was always the best method of dissemi- nating truth and nothing was more helpful than a proper selection of literary masterpieces for the school. Who Gets the School Funds? There is, we believe, declares the ‘Chicago Inter Ocean, nothing going to show that the public school chil- dren are getting a share in the bene- fits of the tremendous annual in- erease in the cost of maintaining the schools, Race oees Mixed Again, A duet in a noisy street car. “Yes; she came yesterday motning.” Rattle, bump, bang! “How nice!

Beirne, in N. Y. Weekly. Old Slouch’s Dilemma There was once a young fellow who prided himself on being the champion long-distance author of the world. It was his proud boast that he had once written two complete and hair raising novels of about 200,000 words each within the space of six working days, and he was wont to aver with confi- dence that he could repeat the per- formance with one hand tied behind him. He was known to tens of thousands of youthful readers of red, yellow and pink fiction as “Old Slouch,” and he wrote of strange and weird happen- ings in strange and weird places in a manner yet more strange and weird. Old Slouch had started life as a printer's. “devil” in the office of the Fireside Reflector, but he was am- Ditious and soon became an office boy. Then he took to night school and made such progress in the three “It's” that his culture was recognized in due time by an advance to the position of copy reader, in which eapacity he was called upon to read several million words from the accomplished pen of “Cali- fornia Charlie,” who was at that time the mainstay of the fiction department of the Reflector. His chance came one night when a miessenger arrived in hot haste from the lodgings of “Califorma Charlie” to report that thé gifted author was un- able to finish the concluding install- ment of his thrilling novelette en- titled: “Three-Fingered Steve; or, The Cowboy's Curse.” for the reason that he was greatly incommoded by the presence in his room of three pink- and-blue zebras with yellow polka dots and six old-gold lizards with purple tails. ‘The editor was in despair, for the Reflector must go to press in six hours, until the new copy reader volunteered to finish the story from the point where the lizards had so incontinently interrupted it. This he was allowed to do, and he accomplished his task with such success that when, a few months later, California Charlie's acquaint- anceship with reptiles and such land- ed him in the incurable ward the fu- ture Old Slouch stepped easily and gracefully into his place. Probabilities never hampered Old Slouch. What his readers wanted were improbabilities, nor would they even balk at an oceasional impossibility, which was just as well. In the most successful of his works, a tale of ro- mance and adventure entitled: “Wick- ed Bill; or, The Dauntless Hero of Bloody Gulch,” the talented author landed his people on the rocky shores of one of the Fiji islands, shipwrecked, starving, and defenseless. Up rushed a band of cannibals bent on a good meal. Did they get it? “Over my dead body,” said Old Slouch to himself and he wrote: “It so chanced that our hero had once known a Fiji islander in San Francisco and from him had learned the langaage of thoseparts. He there- fore addressed the leader of the band in the vernacular. Athazement seized the savage cannibals. They dropped their cruel weapons, grasped Hill's horny hand, and hailed him asa broth- er, ‘They were saved!” Bet with assured success languor overtook Old Slouch. Only when he was penniless could he be induced to write, and that was why he sat one May morning with his feet upon the win- dow sill, looking out over the neigh- boring chimney pots, although he had just received an urgent demand for the first chapters of “Shivering Sara; or, “The Counterfeiter's Stratagem.” He “had 36 cents in his pocket. Why should es toil? Why, indeed? It was at this moment that he hada -eali from his friend Jake Mosenthal, whose father ran a pawnshop around the corner. He often took delight in inquiring of the guile!ess how it cou:d be that Jake’s father was his uncle, al- though he himself was not related to Jake. Jake had a holiday and he was planning a sailing party. A friend of “his had loaned him a catboat that lay some few miles up the sound, an@ Jake and his sister were going to take asail. Wouldn't Old Slouch join them? O:d Slouch thezght of the 36 cents and guessed he'd better not. “Oh, come on,” coaxed Jake. “It’s @ fine day and Tim Monahan’s going and Sally Paterson, too. What's the matter with you, anyhow?" Had it been anybody but Jake O:d Slouch would have hg¢ nocompunctions aoout borrowing, the he did not care to bor- row from Tilly’s brother because-- well, there were reasons, At the mention of Tim’s name, how- ever, Old Slouch pricked up his ears, He shrewdly suspected that Tim was not far behind him in his appreciation of the good points of Jake’s sister. Moreover, he was quite sure he could borrow from Tim certain coin of the realm, At length he decided to go, and Jake departed with an injunction to be sure and meet the others at the Long Island City station at ten o’clock. One cent for a morning paper, five cents for an elevated ticket, and three gents fora ferry ticket landed O:d Siouch at Long istand City with 27 cents in his pocket. He had taken good care not to beon hand first, in the hope *hat somebocy might buy his ticket. Alas for that bright hope! The first words that greeted him from Benet Omee and, turning bis back to the others, asked the man for a time table, which he thrust hurriedly into his pocket and hastened after the rest, who had started for the train, They were all jaughing and chatter- ing light-heartedly, the very embodi- ment of good spirits. Poor Old Siouch felt very much downcast as he followed them through the gate. He thought of simulating a sudden illness, but he did not want to frighten Tilly, and then that scamp of a Tim was sticking so persistently to her side! So he rattled his 27 cents bravely in his pocket and clambered doggedly aboard the train. He even squandered two precious nickels in the purchase of peanuts, for, thought he, “27 cents are ho more use to me than 7. Let me therefore cultivate a reputation for liberality.” While the rest were chatting with ail the enthusiasm of eare-free youth Ord Slouch sat miserably trying to figure out some pian of campaign, If Wicked Bill had been in his shoes Old Siouch could have saved him without turning a hair, “At this critical juncture,” he would hake written, “Bill anxiously thrust his hand into the pocket of his cual a sears finger discovered @ hole in the lining, and at the bottom of the aperture, he felt something flat and hard, Breathlessiy our hero drew it forth. It was a twenty-dollar gold piece!” But fertile as Old Slouch was in re- sources for the relief of suffering ban- dfts and imprisoned and impoverished heroes, he was absolutely barren of in- vention in his own behalf, So dis- turbed was he that when the bright- eyed Tilly turned from the attentive Tim and catied to him across the aisle he answered her so absent-mindedly that sae was piqued and turned again to Tim before he could repair his error. “Tickets!” said the conductor, sharply. ‘The dreaded summons had come and found him still unprepared. Old Siouch began to fumble through his pockets. Everybody else had the necessary pasteboards, but O1d Slouch still fumbled, getting redder and red- der every moment. The conductor looked at him with inereasing stern- ness. “I—er—I'm afraid,” murmured O1d Slouch, faintly, when his search had obviously become a farce, “I’m afraid I've lost my ticket.” “Didn't you drop it on the floor?” sugge ted Jake. All hands scrutin- ized the floor. “Well, weil!” said the conductor, im- patiently. “You'll have to pay your fare then.” “To be sure,” said Old Slouch, mis eraply, and he felt for his 17 cents. “Well, I declare,” he exclaimed in well- simulated amazement. “I haven't any money.” “What!” roared Tim, Had Old Slouck been himself he woud have detecteé something very like consternation in his friend’s, tone. As it was, he saw only ridicule and he took a fatal step “That is Jo say,” he went on, pul! ing IiiselSopether, “nothing but 6 $50 bill.” “Oh!” said Tim, plainly relieved. “That's all right,” said the friendly Jake. “I'l pay it. Here you are.” And he gave the conductor 40 cents. Tim rose and sauntered up the asle. “Come and have a smoke?” he saié to O:d Slouch, ‘The latter responded with alacrity. Here was his opportun- ity at last. But as the door of the smoker closed on them Tim broke out: “Say, old man, you nearly scared me into a fit. I had only enough to buy my ticket one way, but I came along because I knew I could borrow a dol- lar or two from you.” Old Slouch collapsed. “I near feli on the floor,” his tormentor went on, “when you said you didn’t have any coin, but when you mentioned the fifty, why, I knew it was all right.” “But it ain't,” Old Slouch replied, weakly. “No?” roared the other. “Not a cent,” said Old Slouch, huski- dy. “was going to borrow from you.” “Well,” said Tim, when he had par- tially recovered from the blow, “you'll have to touch Jake.” “Rather not,” said Old Slouch, short- ly. “You do it.” "Rather not myself.” Here the two Jooked in opposite directions. “One of us has got to,” said Tim at last. ““Mateh you for it,” from the dis tinguished author. So they matched and Old Slouch lost. It spoited his day. Tilly was dis posed to be nice to him, but he was RS taciturn, thinking aif the while of the unpleasant task that awaited him, that she turned in despair to ‘Tim, who had never been in better spirits in his life. It was a beautiful moon- light night and they planned to re- turn to the dock in time to eatch the fast train for town, which left at ten o'clock. They were about a mile from shore when the ae died ent. They drifted idly for half an hour. Jake looked at his watch, “We'll miss the train and have to stay all night at a hotel, if there fs ome in the place.” Horrible visions of hotel bills crossed Old Slouch’s mind. Then he had an inspiration. “Let's row for it,” he suggested. ‘And row they did—rowed as they had never rowed before, he and Tim. The night was warm, and the two oarsmen were perspiring and breathless when the boat finally ran her nose on shore, At the came moment they heard the whistle of the approaching train. All hands ran for it and scrambled aboard just as the train pulled out. “All due to your splendid rowing,” eae the panting Tilly as she sank into Pawning in London, Over 1,000,000 articles are pledged with the pawnbrokers of London every week. 00 YOU GET UP WITH A LAME BACK?

Thousands of Wo Trouble and Ne To prove what The Great Kidney Re every reader of this pape sent absolutely Women suffer untold misery because the nature of their disease is not al- ways correctly understood; in many cases when doctoring, they are led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for their ills, when in fact disordered kidneys are the chief cause of their distressing troubles. Nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, a dragging pain or dullache in the back, weak- ness or bearing down sensation, pro- fuse or scanty supply of urine, fre- quent desire fo pass it night or day, with scalding or burning sensation,— these are all unmistakable signs of kidney and bladder trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. A trial will convince anyone. If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty- four hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brick- dust settling, or if small particles float about in it, your kidneys are in need of immediate attention. When the heart is acting badly, have re thought that it may be due to idney trouble, as is often the case? Other symptoms showing that you need Swamp-Root are sleeplessness, di plenty of ambition but no strength.
