SATURDAY.JAN. 23. 1904 cog GAZETTE Is the oldest, and the largest bona fide circulation, idouble that of any newspaper in the of Afro-Americans, published the state of Ohio, and comparison any will immediately establish fits rank as one of the NEWSIEST iAND BEST in the country. ‘Se es If Brother Clifford of the Martins- ‘burg (W. Va.) Pioneer Press lived a little farther north, in Cleveland, for Snstance, he would see in print and thear oftener the words German- ‘American, Irish-American, Russian- ‘American, Italian-American, Welsb- (american and French-American, than the does Afro-Americn. The last nam- wed is certainly preferable to the word While we are free to confess that 4we do not like President Roosevelt's southern “referee” system and some ‘other things he ‘has done and said, yet in our judgment he is infinately preferable as the next republican seandidate for the presidency, to four ddozen Hannas or any other promi- ment republican mentioned in connec- tion with the nomination. eres | ‘We want that fight between Hanna find Senator Foraker backed up by tthe Roosevelt administration, for the ‘control of the Ohio delegation in the mext national republican convention, ‘to be made. If it is, there are a whole Jot of peopleNn this country who will thave many a Hanna scale pulled off ttheir eyes and thus be able to see tthat individual's political course in ‘#his state in its true light. By all ‘means. let us have the ficht. } We extend to the family of Col. William A. Pledger, deceased, our sincerest sympathy. For twenty or more years he (has been our friend— frank, generous, intensely léyal and steadfast. Not only has Georgia re- publicans lost their leader, but the race has lost one of its foremost, tru- est and best guides. To know the colonel was to love him. He possess- ed many more excellent qualities than those we have enumerated. In spite of his age, the Afro-American press thas lost one of its youngest, most vigorous, and best members, in the death of the editor of the Atlan- ge Aca ! Hon. Edward H. Morris, the “only ‘Afro-American member of the Mli- nois legislature, a Chicago attorney of exceptional ability, and ex-grand master of the G. U. 0. of 0. F., deliv- ered a lecture on “Shams” at the Bethel literary society in Metropoli- tan A, M. E, church, Washington, D. ©., recently, in which he literally dis- sected Booker 'T. Washington’s meth- ‘ods which are so hurtful to the race’s progress, particularly that of those 4n the north. Mr. Morris’ criticisms were based upon exerpts from books and articles written by Mr. Washing- ton. He characterized the latter as the leaders of shams. It is a pity that Mr. Morris cannot deliver his lecture in every city, town and village of the country where there are a con- siderable number of our people. It is equally if not more necessary, that the whites of these various communi- ties should hear him also, aes THE EDUCATION WE NEED. Senator Beverige has discussed in mble terms the kind of education needed by the American people. He presents the accruing efficiency so mecessary for the growth, develop- ment and perpetuity of our institu- ‘tions of government. The senator dwells upon that patriotism, which is the outgrowth of true statesmanship and demands the cultivation of those principles upon which all govern- ments must endure. But the senator fails to specify in appropriate terms the principles most essential for the preservation of all popular govern- ments. But the philosopher and far seeing statesman must reach the one and only conclusion that no govern- ment, nor principality, nor power can sncgessfully exist that does not in- graft into its organic ‘being the life giving principles of equality, liberty and justice to all men before the law. ‘These principles must prevail and re- main uppermost in the administration of public duties, or the occ must go down, The world very well anderstands the nature and operation of our system of government and ‘Americans themselves are not ignor- ant of the need and education which is most essential to a strong and en- during system of government for the triumph of American principles. It seems a pity and a thing much to be gwegretted that the American people with all their superior advantages ever other nations, and despite their unrivaled civilization, they will not adopt the measures and policies which must conduce to their lasting sand permanent existence’as @ world power among nations. The records of the past are certainly, doubly reas- guring ax to the possibilities before | ms. Butwe dare not heed the admoni- constantly brought to pub- ike iw the life of the nation. dare not teach the lessons of 7 duty and act upon the auties THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1904. which are manifestly vox dei, But the education most needed and the les- sons most essential to be taught are as plain and palpable as the revolving sun in his course through the heav- ens, What is that education and what is the lesson which we would de- mand? It is that education which trains and fits a man not only to en- joy citizenship, but it is that which obligates and enforces supreme re gard for the rights and privileges of all men irrespective of all races. Men must be educated to know their du- ties to themselves, to their fellows and their God and without discrimi- nation, without cant or equivocation bend their energies, their hearts and ‘souls in the execution of dutied, which alone can preserve a nation. Let our school be managed and men be so educated, and at once, our gov. ernment and.our liberty are assured. - ene MADE MOONSHINE WHISKY. Government Troops in Kentucky Mountains Emulated the Na- | zs tives’ Example. “Moonshine whisky is often made under difficulties, and you would be surprised to know how scantily some of the places are equipped,” said a man from the mountainous region of @ southern state, reports the New Or- leans Times-Democrat, “Often you would think it quite impossible for a ‘Bet of DHE Ha ‘mountain dew,’ as imperfect as it is, with the few things you would find in one of these places. But they make it, just the same, and as a producer of picturesque, gaudy, ollicking and desperate jags t!>re is nothing like it under the sun. Ther is a reason, to be sure, why men en- gaged in this business are not par- ticularly anxious to have an extensive outfit. It is easier to hide a few things than it is to hide a whole car load, in the event of surprise by a revenue officer. Besides the appearance of a few ordinary and commonplace uten- Bils is not so apt to develop suspicion as more extensive equipment at one of these places. I am reminded of this by a fact that developed in the moun- tains of Kentucky some time ago For some reason state troops had been ‘thrown into the region at that par- ticular time, and the officer in com- mand found that kis men were doing ® great SmOMmmerinking, As a matter of fact, the wfficer had been drinking a bit himself, but had come upon a lucid moment, and it occurred to him that he had better make a few inquiries and find out where the stuf was ‘coming from He did. And he found out in salle while, The still ‘Was not raided, nor did the officer ‘make any attempt to confiscate the ‘paraphernalia. The fact is, the whisky ‘was being made in the military ‘Aitehen, in the pans and pots belong- ing to the state, and out of meal which had been furnished to feed the soldiers. Of course, the thing was stopped by the officer. But the instance serves tc illustrate the point I had in mind, namely, that the moonshiner doesn’t need a very extensive equipment. Give him a pot, @ } if meal and some water, and he : produce about as fine a brand of ‘mountain dew’ as you would care to find.” HOODOO NAMES OF SHIPS. Are Those Which Have Been Taker from the Principal Cities of thé World. The pilots of the port of Philadelphia foregather on Walnut street, down nea the river, in a bare, gray room. Here they wait their turn to go on duty, and here they talk of ships, of shipwrecks, of skippers and of great storms, says the Philadelphia Record. A group of pilots agreed the other day that it wa: a bad thing to namea ship City of Rome, City of Paris, city of anything. They said that ships so named were bound to be unfortunate, and they declared that this fact was generally known, and rare- ly, if ever, nowadays was a ship chris- tened with a name containing the words “city of.” “It is a superstition,” an old, bowed pilot said, “but there are facts to back it up. Do you know the story of the City of Boston? Well, that boat, with 800 souls aboard, sailed out of New York harbor one fine day in 1870, and she has never been heard of since. Never been heard of since! Not a word, not 2 splintered spar, not a drowned body. Out of New York, with 800 aboard, she sailed, and it was as though the earth had opened and swallowed her up. “But there was a whole lot of boats named City of this or City of that that went down with all hands. Back in 1840 the City of Bristol sank, and 35 lives were lost. In 1854 the City of Glasgow went down and carried with her 480 men and women. The City of Waco, with 75 aboard, was lost in 1874, and a year aft- erward the City of Hartford and the City of Mexico both went down. “And there's a host of other boats that were lost in years I don’t remember— for instance, the City of Troy, the City of Manhattan, the City of Havana, the City of San Francisco, the City of Meriden and so on. Then didn’t the City of Rome, about 10 years ago, run into that terrible rock, the Fastnett, off the Irish coast?” NOT YET FAMOUS. There Had Been No Five-Cent Ciga: Named After Him, and the Stn tecnian Miahed. ‘The great statesman sat alone in his study, gloomily thoughtful. He hac just returned to his home after deliver. ing a speech which had been thunderous. ly applauded. His reception had been indeed an ovation, but it brought no joy to him, says the New York Times. “What's the use of it all?” he mur. mured, with a sigh. ‘Men think that] am happy because I have youth, fame vast @ealth, and a dazzling political future. Ha! ha! “Little they know of the ; nguish of fame, my one all-devouring desire, is de- nied the one fond desire of his heart. “Youth! That will soon be gone. ‘Wealth! A turn of the market may car- ty it away. Political future! Who can tell what changes a year may bring forth? “Fame? Ha! ha! What does my fame amount to? The greatest states- men of the country hang on my words when I speak, and I sway the multitude as I please. But, fame, real lasting fame, my one all-dewouring desire, is de- nied me. “No manufacturer has given my name to a five-cent cigar!” os NEWS NOTES They Come From Many Parts of the World.

Brief addresses of weleome were made by Mayor Holtzman and President Barry, of the Central Labor union, whieh were responded to by President Mitchell, who then announced the committees on rules and order of business. While the convention was working on the credentials the rules commit- tee returned and announced that the reports of the officers would precede the report of the credentials commit- tee.

Bryan on his return from Europe, taking the form of a “dollar dinner,” was held last night, and it was attended by nearly 700 democrats. The dinner was intended as u testimonial of regard and sym- pathy with Mr. Bryan's political poli- cies and to mark his entry into active participation in the pre-convention campaign. Mr. Bryan spoke on “The Moral Issue.” Among other things he said: “The Kansas City platform is sound on every plank, and the first act of ‘the next democratic convention should be to reaffirm it in its entirety, and its next act should be the addi- tion of new planks in harmony with it and covering such new questions as demand consideration, , “Then the convention should — se- lect candidates who believe in the ‘platform, candidates whose demoe- racy will not be an issue in the cam- paign and whose fidelity to demo- cratic principles will not be doubted at the election, And then the com- mittee should announce that it will neither ask nor receive contributions from those Who are entrenched be- hind the bulwarks which we are at- tacking. “And then let us defend our posi- tion, not on the low ground of dollars end cents, but by showing how re- publican policies violate moral . prin- ciples and invite the punishment that sooner or later overtakes the wrong- doer. “Will such @ course insure victory? The best that our party can do is to deserve victory, and an appeal to the conscience of the American people is sure to win ultimately and offers the best promise of immediate success.” Socialists Call a Convention.

De sae come eee S Coe ge a ees an meee on Washington, Jan. 21.—The house passed the Hepburn pure food bill yesterday on a rising vote, 201 to 68 its opponents being unable to secure a roll call on the bill. The amend. ment inserting the word “willful” with reference to persons who sell adulterated or misbranded goods, and which would have compelled the gov- ernment to prove intent to violate the law by the venders, was stricken out on a yea and nay vote. Several attempts were made to amend the bill, but no material changes were made. ‘The bill fixes the standards of foods and drugs as to their purity, strength and character an@ defines what shall be considered adulterations or mis: branding of foods and drugs. It also prohibits interstate commerce, im- portation and exportation of such misbranded or adulterated articles. It is proposed to enlarge the scope of the bureau of chemistry to include the bureau of foods and impose upon it the duty of performing all chemical work for the other executive depart: ments. This bureau will be charged with the duty of inspecting food and drug products which belong to inter- state or foreign commerce. The sec- retary of agriculture is given author- ity to employ such chemists, inspec- tors, clerks and laborers as may be necessary for the enforcement of the act. One section of the bill provides penalties for the introduction of adulterated or misbranded foods or drugs and another section requires the secretary of agriculture to pre- seribe rules ‘and regulations to gov- ern the director of the bureau of chemistry and foods in examinations of articles required to be inspected under the law. Violations of the law shall be re- ported by the secretary of agricul- ‘ture to the proper district attorney of the United States, who is to cause proceedings to begin without delay.

Orsburn arrived last week from Lawrenceville, Va., as announced in a previous issue of The Gazette. Mrs. Jerome Jeffrey of Rochester, N. Y., organizer of the National Federation of Women's Clubs, arrived in the city Wednesday from Massillon, where she was a guest of Miss Frances Riley, president of Hall M. I. school. Mr. Alfred Fox, of the East End, is contemplating matrimony, current rumor has it. He is an exemplary young man and a good catch for the leap year girl of his section of the city. Editor T. Thomas Fortune, of New York City, passed through the city last week Friday en route to Cincinnati and Louisville to lecture. He wired the editor of The Gazette, who in company with Ernest O. Orsburn, met him at the depot. Enthusiastic local True Reformers say that it will not be many months now before they will put up a large block with hall, stores, etc. The organization is certainly growing rapidly here in Cleveland and throughout Ohio. The police examination is to be held Feb. 2 and fire, Feb. 8. It was desired to have at least 100 men apply for each, but few applications have been filed.

Mrs. Lula Whiting and Mr. William Brantley of 105 Laurel street spent Sunday in Collinwood, guests of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Lancaster and family. Those who failed to attend the Western Reserve band concert at Bohemia hall, Broadway, last Sunday night, certainly missed a musical treat. Under the leadership of Prof. Hruby, an exceptionally fine program was rendered. Cory chapel was in gala day attire on Sunday, with birds, flowers, sweet singing, good preaching and large crowds at each service. The hearts of the people were made glad on account of the wonderful work accomplished in the past ten months under the leadership of the new pastor, Rev. R. L. Dickerson. They burned the $1,500 mortgage. This church has raised this year $2,756.15. The C. M. E. choir rendered fine music at 3 o'clock. Messrs. Edwin Garnet Riley and F. Frant Gilmore, financial agents of Hall Memorial Industrial school, Massillon, O., arrived in the city the past week to spend a week or ten days in the interest of the institution. While here they will deliver addresses in the various churches. Persons desiring information relative to the school can secure it by calling at The Gazette office. It affords exceptional opportunities for our girls. The silly story of the warfare of Henry Eubanks upon two of the state senate's Afro-American employees, Messrs. Lynch of Youngstown, and Rogers of Xenia, published in a daily newspaper at Cleveland, which is Hanna's local organ, is more rot intended to ridicule Eubanks. The local correspondents of the Cleveland newspapers have had a lot of fun already during this session of the state assembly poking fun at Henry and the governor's porter-messenger. Their attempt to draw the editor of The Gazette into it, was entirely too far-fetched. William N. Alexander, chef for Mr. Calvary Morris, 803 Prospect street, had two young callers on Monday. After serving them with a chicken lunch, and the best there was they relieved him of a dollar bill from one purse, fifteen cents from another and took from his jewel box, nine new pennies, supposing them to be gold dollars. They also carried away in their pockets one-half box of cigars. This was Mr. Alexander's return for feeding hungry loafers. It is said the police are looking for them on a warrant sworn out today. We have many men of excellent character and standing, high school and college graduates, out of employment, or running elevators, doing hotel and janitor work, etc., who would have been glad to accept the clerkship in the adjutant-general's office apparently given John Fulton. Parents, relatives and friends of these young men, what do YOU think of it? Continue to send your protests to the governor. Make them strong! It is not too late even though Fulton's appointment has been announced. The clerkship is open until called on March 1. Be sure to read the Columbus letter elsewhere in this issue of The Gazette. The Columbus correspondents of the Cleveland daily newspapers are certainly having lots of fun—poking it at him—with Henry Eubanks. Do not forget to send to the governor, your protest against Fulton's being given that clerkship in the adjutant- THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 1904. general's at Columbus.

Address Frank H. Warren, 1631 Gratiot avenue, Detroit, Mich. At Antioch Baptist church, the pastor, Rev. Dr. Bailey, preached two able sermons on last Sabbath. The mornning discourse, "Sleeping on Guard," was an extremely practical and logical effort. The congregation was large, as usual. In the evening there was an equally large attendance and another fine sermon. Dr. Bailey has been assisting Rev. E. D. Dandridge of Shiloh Baptist church, in his revival services the past two weeks, delivering several characteristically able discourses. The church clubs at Antioch are again active, and the ladies, who are well organized, have been holding some very profitable meetings. The Sunday school, teachers' training class will meet Tuesday evening, and is growing in numbers and interest. "Dude" St. James was found guilty of murder in the second degree by a jury in common pleas court last week Friday afternoon. He was accused of killing Wm. Lawson. St. James and Lawson roomed at 438 Erie street. Sept. 26 they got into a dispute and both were ejected. In a fight following, Lawson was hit with a brick. Before he died, Lawson said St. James ran across the street, secured a brick, returned and struck Lawson. St. James said Lawson attacked him first, and that he, St. James, struck him with the first object that came to his hand when he sought for a weapon of defense. Miss Hicks, 19 years, 512 Quincy street, a member of Unity Household of Ruth, 1375, died last week Friday morning, and was buried Wednesday afternoon. Funeral from Lane Memorial church, the pastor, Rev. J. L. Moody, officiating. Mrs. Henry Brown and Mrs. Jones of Hackman street, presiding officers of the household, conducted the services of that body. The organization paid Miss Hicks' sick dues and funeral benefits, etc., promptly, and gave her splendid attention during her illness. L. J. Morrison, F. D. Day, O. S. White and J. E. Reed were the pall bearers. Unity Household is entitled to great credit for the promptness and considerate care, it did everything in connection with Miss Hicks' sickness and death. It also sent a beautiful and expensive floral piece. According to reports made to the police, the life of Wm. Overstreet, 100 Orange street, was saved last week Friday night by a button picture of a girl which he wore pinned to his breast. Ernest Johnson, a waiter in Wright Miller's restaurant, 438 Erie street, was arrested on a charge of shooting to wound, and Overstreet was held as a witness. Overstreet went into the restaurant to get a meal. He is alleged to have become boisterous. Johnson told him to keep still. Overstreet is said to have continued talking loudly. The police say Johnson then drew a revolver and fired four shots. Three bullets passed through Overstreet's overcoat. The fourth struck the button which he wore over his heart. It glanced off and grazed Overstreet's ribs. A pleasant "stag" was given on Monday evening at Mr. Charles Turner's home, No. 97 Brooker avenue. The following gentlemen were participants: Messrs. Albert Williams, Phil Denny, Joseph Simmons, Robert Hodges, Richard Scott, W. Sisco, E. J. Lucas, Henry Minter and many others. The early evening was spent in card playing, followed by an excellent program given by an orchestra selected by Mr. Turner. A special feature which invoked the applause of all, was a piano recital by Mr. Denny. Among his many selections the two which caused the most comment were "Peasant and Poet," and "William Tell." At midnight a dainty repast was served by Mrs. Turner and thoroughly enjoyed, after which the crowd indulged in toasting and a discussion of the many topics of the day. Some of the most difficult of these were expounded at length by Messrs. Williams, Denny, Lucas and others. The affair closed with the intermezzo from Mascagni's well-known opera, "Cavaleria Rusticana," by Mr. Minter, whose singing proved a most enjoyable surprise.

Can be consulted on all affairs of life. Business, Love and Marriage a specialty. Every mystery revealed, also, of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all trouble and estragrements, unites the servant and the master, and does no challenge to any medium who can exceed her in her startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember, she will not for any price flatter you: you may rest assured, you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage, Friends, etc., with description of future companion. She is very accurate in describing missing friends, enemies, etc. Her advice uponickness, that business, lawsuits, lawsuits, contested all divorce and sponsorship is valuable and reliable. She reads your deathy—good or bad; she withholds nothing. MRS. MARTH, born with a double veil, is a seventh daughter, tells your entire life—past present and future—in a DEAD TRANCE; has the power of any two clairvoyants you ever met. She tells whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you: if you have no sweetheart, she will tell you when you will have, and his name, business and date of acquaintance. Clairvoyantly ALL YOUR FUATURE will be written in an honest, clear language, and in a pleasant Mothers should know the success of their husbands and children; young ladies should know everything about their sweethearts and intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all; do not let silly religious serpues prevent your consulting. Macmee is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is true or false. Reader, do you ever notice that some people seem to have good luck all the time, and no matter what they do they seem to prosper, while others, yourself may-be, have such a hard time to get along, and no matter how hard they find it, at the end of the day you never better than them when they started. This is because they have not consulted the right Medium, while the successful people, in all probabilities, have been to one of the genuine Mediums and obtained advice. If you are unsuccessful in business, have bad luck, things go wrong with you, then you should consult Mrs. Marth. She will tell you what your trouble is, as she understands the spells and evil influences. She has spent years helping distressed persons and has brought thousands to success.

Arousing a Conscience “Dy CLYDE MONTAGUE +o TSN Saati dtc iagSaeaa conten A eae pivedaain aia to the current and strife of human en- deavor while still an infant; pushed along under the spur of necessity and compelled to hold his own; a miniature man at 5, a child at 20; gifted with some marvelous heritage from the misty mirrors of the past; unknown, un- claimed, untrained and uncared for— this was the history and antecedents of Robert Melbourne. Where he got his name was a mystery as profound as that of his birth and parentage. Everybody knew him as Rob and it was a tradition that a prodi- gal Australian “doing” America gave him the surname. Anyway he grew up in the street with no schooling and only the education which comes from the training of ne- cessity, supplemented by the force of his own personality. At 6 he was a nuisance, at 10 a terror, at 12 a leader, at 14a king. While always a boy of the streets, he showed at all times and places a character and quality smack- ing of another sphere. A typical street arab, he deliberately broke into a night school—and thrashed the boy who jJeered. He worked hard selling papers and blacking boots, but he always read the papers and talked with his boot- blacking patrons. So, eventually he got his feet on a higher round of the ladder and started In a new life. He became a lawyer's as- sistant—to dig up evidence on the street; then a law student; then a full- fledged lawyer. And finally at 25 he found himself fairly well educated, ultra worldly wise and ¢elf-confident, a power in city poll- tics, a lawyer of recognized ability and aman of more than ordinary perception and education. ‘This was at 25. At 35 he had made his mark. He was a gentleman of presence and address, a lawyer much sought for ana a politician whose knowledge of human nature and the conditions in the great cities was the marvel of the party leaders from New York to San Francisco. Incidentally he was a mem- ber of congress and an orator whose clean logic, ready imagination and con- vineing rhetoric always filled the gal- leries and drew tardy members to their seats when he held the floor. Never had Robert Melbourne made a more brilliant or convincing speech than the one on the Bracken bill, and when he finished colleagues and op- ponents alike crowded around him with congratulations. ee had been a bold po- sition to take and required courage to defy criticism and censure, as well as ability to sustain his point. His effort accomplished the purpose. Despite the fact that public sentiment was opposed to the bill and party leaders were afraid of {t because a corporation was its im- mediate beneficiary, Melbourne had thrown the great ultimate benefit to the people and the country in contrast with & mere present sentiment so strongly that it stiffened the backbones of the wavering members and the bill had passed immediately after his argument. ‘The bill was for the reclamation of a vast arid territory. It gave extraordi- nary powers and privileges to a corpo- ration formed for the purpose on condi- tion that a mammoth system of irriga- tion be established and maintained. A great opposition had developed from two sources. On one hand the natural hostility of the public to grants to private corporaticns and the inev- itable screaming of demagogic politi- cians and newspapers had aroused a clamor, From another source came a ery that had enlisted a more reputable and intelligent protest. In the plans to reclaim the wilderness {t was necessary to wipe out the claims to title of an in- considerable number of small settlers. These claims to title were very shaky and the value of the property involved was almost nothing. It was necessary to have a clean title to the entire tract and the bill provided clearly for the wiping out of the vague shadows of claims held by the squatters. This aroused a protest which helped out the demagogic anti-corporation .wail until the opposition had become so formida- ble and the talk of “boodle” so great that many members who were really in favor of the bill dared not vote for it. He had assured himeeif that there were favorable votes enough if the members dared vote. So he had taken the floor at the last moment and met the opposi- tion face to face—granted that a pri- vate corporation would be the bene- ficiary and that hundreds of settlers would be obliged to move on or perfect their title under the new conditions which presumed a tribute to the new company. Then he turned and _pic- tured with master hand the transpor- tation of a wilderness almoct uninhab- ited into a garden spot teeming with life and overflowing with milk and honey—a trackless desert avoided by man and beast changed with an Alad- din’s touch to an empire inhabited by happy and prosperous men and women and children and able to feed half the nation. And this Aladdin who was to do this was the new corporation and his lamp the countless thousands of gold dollars to be spent before the dream could be real. He showed the safe- guards thrown about the rights of the people and the limitations placed on the company. He referred with scorn and contempt to the howlings of the oppor- tunist demagogues and journalistic sen- sationalists which he said stood ever and always against every great con- structive measure and every fearless step forward. In a single touch he exploded the claims of the settlers and showed that they had no legal title whatever to the land on which they had squatted. He ended with a splendid peroration de- manding that courage and honesty govern the votes cast and that the great- “They seemed to like the speech, Miss Wilson,” he said, laughing fn a self- era way. “What did you think of The girl turned her serious face and clear gray eyes toward him, and after a ‘moment’s hesitation, replied: - “I think it was a very clever and a very eloquent and a very convincing speech, Mr. Melbourne, but I would have had my right hand cut off before I would have delivered it.” Melbourne paused in the removal of his gloves, and looked a trifle puzzled and amused, “Why?” he asked. “Surely your clear head has not become tangled by these ranters.” “No, it isn’t that,” she replied, “and I cannot argue it with you, of course. But I was thinking of those poor settlers who have gone out into that wilderness and of all the toil and hardships they have gone through, and now Uncle Sam is to tell them as he told the Indians, ‘Move on.’ And they must go out and find other bad lands that nobody else wants and start over again and starve and‘suffer and endure. And they are so mich older now and it means the same hard life for the younger generation and the one following that I fear. And the women and children have suffered so much.” Her eyes had grown softer and softer as she progressed and they were bright with tears’ as she stopped, her voice trailing off into something between a whisper and a sob at the last. Mel- bourne’s face was serious and the amused expression had been swallowed up by the puzzled. “What do you know about these peo- ple, Miss Wilson?” he asked. “T—I lived among them once,” she sald as she turned to the machine and began to rattle the keys. Melbourne passed into his inner office, sat down at his desk and went to work at his papers. His face was still serious and every now and then a look of an- noyance would steal into it. The months sped by. The Bracken bill became a law and was attacked by an attorney representing the settlers. The irrigation corporation retained Robert Melbourne as chief counsel, as- sisted by the ablest lawyers In the coun- try. The matter was rushed into the supreme court to ascertain the con- stitutionality of the provisions of the law that deprived the settlers of their claim td the land they held. Melbourne took a great interest in the case, as it promised to be a famous one, and & victory would give him wide prestige. He worked hard ahd diligently on the brief and ransacked the law books night and day for precedents. His stenog- rapher wrote and rewrote the various paragraphs over and over again. Once in awhile as he glanced at her grave face and calm eyes a doubt would possess his mind, but he would dismiss it and plunge into the work harder than ever. At last the brief was finished and Mel- bourne asked Miss Wilson to read it to him. It was a habit of his to have her do this while he sat with closed eyes and tried to pick a vulnerable point, He could not find the suggestion of a flaw in this one. “Well, Miss Wilson,” he sald, “T call that a worl of art. I can’t see how they can get away from those proposi- tions, do you?” “No sir, I do not,” she replied, “and it certainly is a work of art. But I would rather that my brother, or my father, were in their graves than that they should do that thing—even with all the fame {t would bring them.” He looked at her intently for a mo- ment, then rose abruptly and went out, saying: “| am going out of town for a few days —maybe two weeks. Put the brief In the safe. I will be back in time to file it” It was fully two weeks before he re- turned. When he did he asked Miss Wilson to bring him the brief in the Bracken case. It was in the late fall and a fire was burning in the open grate. He glanced the brief through and tossed it into the blaze. The girl started and looked at him in surprise, “I have been out there among those people,” he said, regarding her intently. “And I have resigned as counsel in this case, I have learned many things I never dreamed of in the past two weeks, Among them that I need a conscience and a heart to balance what few brains Providence gave me. And I have learned that that conscience and that heart which I need is personified in you. I need you, Miss Wilson—Cilara will you help me place my life and my motives on a higher plane?” Dice wet tidh kde pinta teen envewtans "The world was scarcely less surprised at Robert Melbourne's resignation from the Bracken law ease than at his mar- riage to his stenographer. But Mel- bourne had many other surprises in store for the world. Mirror-Writing. In a recent case of mirror-writing a boy of seven or eight wrote unusually well, but in this singular reversed style, and some months. later, after acquiring the normal method of writing, would re- turn to his original style on becoming fatigued. Dr. C. D. Jones, of Boston, in reporting the case, states that the anomaly seems to be more common in England than in America. In one group of 451 the percentage of mirror-writers was 5.1, but in many report instances the specimens have proven to be merely those of poor penmanship. Various ex- planations of the peculiarity have been offered. It seems to be most common with mental disease, but has been ob- served in persons of normal mental capacity, and one explanation is that it is due to left-handedness and some pre- ponderating influence of the left brain.
