The Illusion of Environment By Alexander J. McIvor-Tyndall, in Denver Post. Says Question of Race, Color or Class will Vanish as We Learn to Recognize the Relationship as Souls. VOL. XII. The Illusion of By Alexander J. McIvor-Tynan Question of Race, Color as We Learn to Rtionship There is no weakness known to human nature that dies as hard as does race prejudice. The otherwise broad-minded man, who is tolerant of other people's religious, political or sociological convictions when it comes to the world-old question of superiority of races, is adamant. Color begets prejudice. Few there are who will admit that the amalgamation of the races is other than a wild and impracticable dream. And yet this very thing is a question that is now "up to us." It is as inevitable as is the reconstruction of Russia. The question recently propounded by The Post, as to whether the Indian should marry the girl, expresses in a limited way a query that is agitating the entire world today. We have become so enlightened regarding the Orientals that the arrogant assurance that characterized the Anglo-Saxon twenty years ago has become seriously shaken. The gap between the Orient and the Occident has been found to be rather narrow after all, and the deep rooted conviction that they were "heathen" and "benighted" has had a few severe shocks. Happily, the Occidental mind is alert. It can learn its lesson and it is wise enough to admit the fact of its mistake. The old theological concept that God made the human race with all its variations of color and characteristics for a specific purpose, still prevails with the majority. But the question cannot help forcing itself upon us, as to which specific color or race he most favored. In other words, may not God be black or yellow, or red, as well as white? We are told that "God made man in His own image and likeness." but the most zealous search of scriptural record cannot find any authority for the assumption that He made him (man) white. We are not told that He made him Angle Saxon, or Latin, or Mongolian, nor any other tribe. From which we may assume that this recognition of differences of nation and color and class have been added since, by opinionated man himself. And, looking over the history of the human race as a whole we may be justified in assuming that the merely human mind is prone to err, since history is a long record of errors prejudices and the unhappy results of separating humanity into little groups and which makes faces at each other. Fundamentally then, human nature is the same. The differences that form so conspicuous a part in our worldly affairs, are differences in point of view. Whether some of us decorate ourselves with skins of animals and plumage of birds, obtained from department stores, or whether we rustle about in the wilds of the forests with bow and arrow for them, is not of much consequence. What counts is the fact that we are all, red and white and black, looking for the same thing—love and hate, joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain. Our expression of these emotions naturally differs with a difference in externals—in environment, customs, imbibed and inherited ideas. Each race on this little globe may boast of its heroes who have died for a principle. They may also blush for their cowards who have slain for revenge. Each race has its romance, its poetry, its ideals, as well as its sordidness. What, then, constitutes all these differences that we see, and which make for separateness and non-assimilation of habits? Nothing deeper than environment—the thought—concepts that have become crystalized into habits, ideas and beliefs. Primitive man recognized these petty differences and made much of them. But, as mankind develops a higher consciousness, his perspective broadens. We are learning to know ourselves as individuals, instead of merely personalities. In other words, we learning to look below the surface, and to recognize our relationship, as souls. When all shall have developed this higher conscienceeness there will be no longer any question of color or race or class. PLEA OF WHITE WOMAN It is a deplorable thing that just at this time such a play as The Clansman should be brought be fore the people of the South. No good can come of opening the old wounds of the Civil War. All thinking people realize how cruel it was to the slaves themselves, to free them as they were freed, setting them adrift on an ocean of prejudice with no light to guide them, also that the carpet bag element was entirely to blame for their enormous ideas of equality. They have struggled against great odds for forty years. There is scarcely a family in the South who is not attached to some member of the colored race, some faithful servant. This shows that ours is not an individual but a race prejudice and the question is shall we overcome this feeling? We welcome to our land the lowest grade of foreign emigrants, many criminals among them. We send out money to foreign countries to show a Christian spirit to the benighted heathen while at our own fireside are a dependent race asking only justice. The whole world is looking on us as a nation which stands for equity. Among our states there is none more blessed than this grand state of Texas. Let it be first to show the world that its people are not only sincere and just but generous, and that their justice is "tempered with mercy" to a less fortunate people, and let us remember that the conditions of our birth are accidents and but for the grace of God we might be worse than they. The better class of colored people are discouraged. They say that no matter what they do there is no friendly hand held out to them. Let us try kindness and see if the race question cannot be settled amicably. The golden rule has worked wonders for over six thousand years, in every land on the earth, and if honestly practiced with the colored race will transform them for there are no people more appreciative of kindness than they. As a superior race we owe them our protection and we would not fail them to day if they were attacked by an outside foe there are good and bad among them as is the case with all people. They do not care for equality, all they ask is justice, but as we hope for mercy let us show ourselves merciful. A WOMAN OF THE SOTTH. NEGRO IN LITERATURE But in the arts, in literature, what can he do there? There have been white men in the South who have not scrupled to affirm that the Negro was only an animal, soulless and incapable of real progress. Perhaps they regard industrial achievements as mere "training of animals." Perhaps they look upon his religious enthusiasm as excess of animal emotion. Perhaps they would bring the same accusation against the Negro music, the only really American music we have produced. But they could not. that brutes could bring forth such work in literary lines as the Negro is showing himself capable of. We refer to the writings of Prof. DuBois and Paul Laurence Dunbar. Mr. Dunbar's latest books of poems, illustrated by Negro artists, is a gem which the writer has not seen surpassed by the work of any white poets this year. It is about time for us to wake up to the fact that in the field of literature, even as in other fields, the Negro is working side by side with his white brether. There is no use in talking about the inferior races any more than there is in talking about the inferiority of women. Difference is not inferiority. And even the difference has been greatly exaggerated. By the sign of the book the Negro is showing a mental capacity which places him on a level.—Chicago Advance. RACE NEWS Gathered from Various Sources. Mayor Bookwater of Indianopolis Ind. has appointed A. C. Simm (colored) Chief clerk in the Comptrollers office of that city. The National Memorial Association met in Chicago recently and set apart May 24 of each year for memorial services in honor of the memory of such men and women as Wendell Phillips, Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, Elijah P. Lovejoy, Roscoe Conklin, Frederick Douglass, William Lloyd Garrison and Charles Sumner. Little Rock, Ark.—The State Medical society has announced the result of the examinations held in Little Rock last week. The high mark of 92 was made by F. M. Garrett of Montrose, a Negro, the only one of three Negro applicants to pass. Garrett's mark of 92 exceeded by 10 any other made in the examinations. Newburg, N. Y. — William Bruyn a Negro coachman, and Frances Courter, a white girl, returned to Washingtonville from Newburg and announced that they had been married. The girl's father knocked them both down, and the angry villagers attacked Bruyn and threatened to lynch him. He escaped, but later he and the girl were placed in jail. Washington, January 17.—H. L. Remmel, chairman of the Republican state committee of Ark., presented to the President today the name of J. E. Bush for reappointment as receiver of the land office at Little Rock, Ark. Bush is a colored man. The secretary of the interior has recom- mended the abolition of the land office at Little Rock, but the president will renominate Bush. Believing it good luck to have a Negro walk through a house at the dawn of the new year. Mrs. M. L. Parsons of 1206 Delaware avenue, Wilmington, Del., about midnight asked Patrolman Frank Kane to bring a colored man to her home. The colored man Kane found at first feared to enter the home, thinking a trick might be played upon him. He walked through the rooms and the Negro's face broke into a smile when Mrs. Parsons thanked him and paid him for the trouble. The Negro and policeman departed and Mrs. Parsons and her family went to bed contented. While trying to act as peacemaker during a fight in Philadelphia last week William Lovett, was fatally beaten. The fight was between Albert Grooms and his wife Blanche, Negroes. The police say they were quarreling about a trivial matter, when Lovett interfered. He was knocked down and beaten about the head and body. A policeman found Lovett unconscious and sent him to the Jefferson Hospital, where he died. Grooms and his wife were arrested and taken before Magistrate Kochersperger, who committed them to prison without bail for a further hearing. S. B. Forman, a young colored man of Cincinnati, Ohio, has invented a mail crane, for which he expects to receive a fortune. J. Alexander Chiles, the local attorney, and Julius Thatcher are interested with him in the invention. Letters received recently from Washington stated that the patent applied for would be issued. The invention is one of many excellent advantages and is an improvement upon the cranes now in use. It is constructed so as to receive and deliver mail bags at the same time, and recommends itself especially because it eliminates all elements of danger in operating it. A local newspaper of Cincinnati, O., that recently offered a prize for the servant establishing a record of the longest continuance in the service of one family has made the award. Lazarine Celestina, for 52 years servant in the household of Mrs. M. H. Bentley, 359 Resor avenue, Clifton, a suburb, is winner of the long-term servant-girl contest. Lazarine Celestina was born in slavery in Louisiana, and speaks French better than English. Fifty years ago she was a full-grown woman and was bought by Mrs. McGee, Mrs. Bently's mother, who lived in New Orleans. She was given her freedom a year later, but she chose the protection of her mistress, and is now NO. 18. serving the third generation of the family. Abbeville, N C—Wholesale arrests will follow the lynching of two Negroes at Barnwell recently, news of which has just leaked out. Sheriff Creech has telegraphed Governor Hayward that the crime was a "brutal murder," and has received orders to apprehend all of the guilty persons. The governor also announces that he will use the whole power of the state to bring them to justice. County officials who looked on and made no effort to check the infuriated mob also will face criminal prosecution. It is the governor's intention that every one of the 100 or 150 who had a hand in the proceedings shall be hauled into court, charged with murder or with being accessories to the crime. State troops will be called out if necessary. The sheriff says he has the names of all the lynchers. The 24th Infantry, now stationed at the Presidio, except to sail soon for Philippine Islands. For the first time in about eleven years, this regiment, is all together—1260 men, as fine as ever stepped in shoe leather. Every man, woman and child in the United States should feel proud of that regiment who were so loyal to the flag of their country. The Spanish war in Cuba was not ended, until that regiment, went there, or the war of the insurrection of the Philippine Islands was not ended until they were sent there. We would like to remind the people of the United States unless the bitter prejudice and the discrimination against the Negro ceases growing and spreading as it has for the last few years, the Negro will lose that respect and loyalty which he has had for the flag of this country ever since 1865. Madison, Wis.,—January 14.—The spectacle of a colored boy being carried in triumph on the shoulders of admiring white students, being the central figure in a noteworthy demonstration in which the hundreds of members of the men and "co-ed" literary societies of the university took part, was presented to Eugene J. Marshal, the winner of the recent Hamilton oratorical contest in Chicago, was welcomed home from his victory. The literary societies suspended their regular meetings and celebrated the return of the forensic victor as was celebrated the return twenty-six years ago of Robert M. LaFollette, congressman, governor and now United States senator, upon the occasion when he brought to Madison the first Wisconsin intercollegate oratorical victory. Mr. Marshall is recognized as one of the ablest young men in the university. He comes here from Detroit and is a graduate of the University, of Michigan, where he was also the winner of many oratorical contests. RAT TWO FEET LONG. Largest Ever Seen at the Tacoma Wharves. E. Holmes, warehouseman at the Oriental dock, had the distinction recently of killing the largest car ever seen along the local water front. The rodent weighted nearly seven pounds, and from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail he measured two feet. It was only after a desperate fight, lasting twenty minutes, that the immense rat was killed. For some time scrape of paper and wood in the toolroom of the warehouse indicated that a swarm of the rodents was at work. Yesterday morning Mr. Holmes encountered the big lallow. With a broom handle he attempted to put an end to the rodent's life, but the rat showed fight. Back and forth he scampered and when cornered he rushed at his assailant. Once he hit behind a colt of rope overhead, and then he dashed at Holmes' head. The latter dodged, but the rodent's sharp teeth grazed his face. As last the rat was killed and measurements proved that he was the biggest ever seen in port. The animal is supposed to be a spea specia found in South America, and it is supposed he came here in a ship, all of which carry many rodents—Tacoma Leder.

MARSHALL FIELD WILL OF THE GREAT MERCHANT READ IN CHICAGO MUSEUM WELL CARED FOR Two Grandsons Get Bulk of Fortune —Large Bequests to Relatives and Friends—Fred Skiff, Former Denver Man, Remembered—Charity Bequests. Chicago. By the will of the late Marshall Field, filed Wednesday in the Probate Court, the city of Chicago is made the beneficiary to the extent of $8,000,000 which is to be used for the endowment and maintenance of the Filled Columbian Museum, now situated in Jackson park. The entire bequest for a museum, however, is made upon the express condition that within six years from the date of the death of Mr. Field there shall be provided for the museum, without cost to it, lands which shall be satisfactory to the trustees as the site for the permanent home of the museum. If within the six years the site has not been provided the $8,000,000 is to revert to and become part of the residuary estate. In addition to the sum left for the museum various bequests aggregating $17,508,000 are made to relatives and friends of the testator. With these exceptions the entire estate is to be kept intact until one of the two sons of Marshall Field, Jr., grandchildren of the estatator, shall have reached the age of fifty years. They are now nine and twelve years of age, respectively. Marshall Field, Jr., died November 27, 1905, of a bullet wound while handling a revolver. Striplazed sums are to be paid to the two grandchildren when they reach the ages of twenty-five, fifty-five and forty-five. The business of Marshall Field & Co. is to be maintained as a portion of the residuary estate. Because of the failure to file a petition for the appointment of administrators, the value of the estate was not furnished to the court, and even the executors themselves are not able to at this time estimate it with accuracy. The failure to file the petition with the will is because of the great extent of the property held by Mr. Field and because much time will be required for its appraisement. It will probably be several weeks before the Probate Court is officially informed of its value. Among the bequests are the following: To the Merchants Loan & Trust Company of Chicago, in trust for Mrs. David Beatty of England, daughter of Mr. Field, $1,000,000. To the United States Trust Company, in trust for Mrs. Beatty and her appointees, $3,000,000. To the Northern Trust Company, Arthur D. Jones and Chaucey Keep, in trust for Mrs. Beatty and her appointees, $2,000,000. To Mrs. Marshall Field, widow, in addition to the provision made for her in a marriage settlement, dated September 5, 1905, $1,000,000, together with the Field family home, with all its furnishings and equipment of every kind for and during her life. No mention is made in the will of the amount given to Mrs. Field at the time of the marriage settlement. To the Northern Trust Company in trust for Mrs. Laura F. Dibblee and two daughters, sisters and $500,000. To Mrs. Dibblee, $250,000; to Bertha Dibblee, niece, $100,000. To Francis Dibblee, niece, $100,000. To the Northern Trust Company in trust for Mrs. Helen F. James, sister and three children, $500,000. To Howard James, nephew, $250,000. To Phillip James, nephew, $250,000. To Dwight James, Hephew, $50,000. To the Merchants' Loan and Trust Company, in trust for Miss Nora Scott, sister of Mr. Field's first wife, $200,000. To Miss Nora Scott, absolutely, $200, 000. To the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank, Chauncey Keep and Arthur B. B Jones, in trust for Marshall Field, Jr., and descendants, $5,000,000. To Mrs. Marshall Field, Jr., absolutely and to the Northern Trust Company in trust for her, a sum sufficient to make with what she will receive from her husband's estate, an aggregate of $1,000,000. To the Merchants' Loan and Trust Company, in trust for Gwendolyn Field, granddaughter, $1,000,000. To Grace J. Gillette, niece, $100,000. To Stanley Filed, nephew, $100,000. To the Merchants' Loan and Trust Company, in trust for Mrs. Sophia S. Earhart of Denver, sister-in-law, $25, 000. Frederick J. Skiff, director of Field museum, $50,000. Arthur B. Jones, for many years Mr. Field's secretary, and one of his executors, $100,000. A number of employees of Marshall Filed & Co. and personal employees of Mr. Field are given sums either outright or in trust, ranging from $2,000 to $10,000. Besides these bequests, Robert M. Fair, John G. Shedd and R. G. Selfridge, men prominent in the management of the business of Marshall Field & Co., are given in trust for distribution among such employees of Marshall Field & Co. as shall have been in its employ for twenty-five years as may be selected by the trustees, $100,000. Chicago Orphan Asylum, $25,000. Old People's Home of Chicago, $25,000. St. Luke's Hospital, Chicago, $25,000. Presbyterian Hospital, Chicago, $25,000. For preparation, adornment and maintenance of lot in Graceland cemetery, where Mr. Field is buried, $75, 000. Mine Workers Demand Advance.

It was a beautiful spring morning early in the year 4004 B. C. (Cusker's chronology). The ardent pages of the sun were diffracted and softened by the misty envelope which at that time protected the earth. Everywhere were signs of life and mementum. Suddenly there was a crescendo whirling sound as of a body moving rapidly through the atmosphere and some strange-shaped foreign object landed on the mossy turf with a dull, slickening thud. Presently, however, Satan (for it was indeed he) sat up and rubbed himself. He recovered his wind and said: "Alas, my graft scheme wasn't popular up there, but I'll eat my shirt if I don't make it perfectly respectable on earth." Then he got busy in the garden and was doing nobly until the magazines got on his trail. Tale of Kanaka Brutality This tale comes from New Caledonia, where a ship was loading up with natives to work in Australia: "There was a man and a girl—a young couple, they seemed. She had a youngster, who began yelling at sight of the boat. Can't take that youngster!" the boss shouted. The woman said she wanted to come, too. No, we can't ship that squalling little beast. Leave him with his auntie. There was no auntie in sight. So the Kanaka man, after taking a look around, caught the kiddy by the heels, swung her around like a rabbit and dashed her head against a tree. "She was only a girl anyway," he said, and slung her body into the scrub. Then they both hopped into the boat and were shipped aboard." Superstitions She was a little excited as she threw the clock at him. His equanimity was not marked, as he responded with a vase. They fell into each other's arms and rolled gracefully over the carpet, climbing and hitting in the breakaway. The end of the round found him sitting on the floor, dazed by the gentle parter of a potato masher on his head. Having a mind to continue the pleasanties, she seized the table cloth and scattered broadcast the articles thereon. "Heavens!" he exclaimed. "Now, see what you've done!" "How careless of me!" She was very regretful. And apprehensively they looked at the salt that she had spilled. They believed in the sign. They feared there would be trouble in the house. "You are always kicking about my cooking," she said, "and saying that my doughnuts are not fit for human beings to eat. And yet I notice that you have gobbled up every one of that last batch!" The brute was staggered, but only for a moment. "Yes, my dear," he answered, calmly, "but why? I knew that if I did not eat them our poor little baby would insist on having some. And, rather than have the child poisoned, I took the awful risk involved in devouring them myself. You evidently do not understand, my dear, that I am a self-sacrificing parent!" The silence that ensued was only broken by a crashing sound as of an empty doughnut dish breaking upon a human head—Cleveland Leader. Weiner's Saloon. 19th and Arapahoe. We treat the boys right. I.

OVER ONE HUNDRED DOWN Vessel Strikes the Rocks in Dense Fog —Only One Boatload Escape—Awful Scenes of Suffering and Death. Victoria, B. C.—With ninety-four passengers and about sixty in her crew the steamer Valencia went ashore about ten miles east of Cape Beale in a thick fog about 12 o'clock Monday night. She is on the rocks against a high cliff and is likely to go to pieces at any time. The boat's crew of six reached Cape Beale to-day about 3 p. m. The survivors say that a great number were drowned in trying to leave the ship. Nine men got ashore about fifteen miles from here. Later.—Of the 154 people on board the steamer Valencia when she struck near Klanaway rock, five miles from Cape Beale, at 11:45 p. m. on Monday night, and met disaster, but fifteen were saved. Seven were passengers and eight were members of the crew. The dead number 139, the greatest loss of life in the North Pacific since the Pacific was lost in 1875. The Valencia, in whose rigging about thirty people were clinging, frantically waving for assistance which could not be given when the steamer Queen left the scene at 11:30 a.m., broke up about 5 o'clock to-day, sweeping to death those few who had survived these terrible hours of privation, chilled numb to the limit of human endurance by clouds of spray which swept over them. Seattle, Wash.—The latest news from the wreck of the Valencia is conflicting and discouraging. The report from the steamship Queen that twenty-five passengers were clinging to the vessel rigging and no possible chance of saving and of them were followed by the story that the wreck had gone to pieces. The Queen was at the outer dock at Victoria when the first dispatch was sent. As only fifteen survivors have been heard from so far, it is probable that the loss of life will reach the estimate of 140 sent out late Tuesday afternoon. Victoria, B. C.—The correspondent of the Associated Press on board the steamer Salvor has wired from Banfield as follows: The steamer Valencia was located by the steamer Queen at 9 a. m. today (Tuesday) on Point Klanaway, about five miles from Cape Beale. The tug Czar went in to investigate and reported that the steamer was ashore stern first with the exception of a small part of the house and her two masts still standing. No persons could be seen alive on board. In the rigging of the foremast was what the captain of the tug Czar took to be a signal, although he was unable to say whether it was a piece of sail or a human being clinging to the rigging. The steamer Salvor stood in for about two miles, but was unable to go any farther, as a heavy sea and a westerly gale was blowing, making it highly dangerous if not impossible to make a closer approach. The Czar was within three-quarters of a mile of the wreck, but could go no further toward the Valencia, and after making as complete an examination as possible she returned to the Queen and Salvor. The latter steamer and the tug Czar then left for Bamfield creek, the Queen standing by her companion liner. Advices from Cape Beale say that fifteen men have arrived there, one of whom is the boatswain, the others being sailors. They reported a passenger list of ninety-four and a crew of sixty, and said that when they left the wreck yesterday morning there were about 100 persons on board, a large percentage of whom were women and children, who were on the quarterback. Two boats were smashed alongside and all the occupants drowned. Denver.—Theodore D. Shreve of this city was one of the passengers on the steamer Valencia. He is the son of James A. Shreve, one of the oldest real estate brokers in Denver. He is a lithographer and has a wide acquaintance in this city. The family resides at 2959 California street. APPEAL TO GAREFIELD Independent Oil Refiners of Kansas Ask for Justice. Chanute, Kas.—The independent oil refiners of Kansas have malled to James A. Garfield, commissioner of corporations of the Department of Commerce and Labor, an appeal for justice against the alleged conspiracy between the Standard Oil Company and the railroad to shut Kansas oil out of the market. The refiners who signed the appeal are Clifford Thorne, A. F. Robertson, F. S. Bennett, C. W. Wasster, J. McCameron, H. Kaesmann, D. O. McGee and C. E. Martin. These men own eight refineries now in operation, besides two in course of erection at Atchison and Kansas City, Kansas. They have invested more than $1,000,000 in refineries, tank cars, storage tanks, wagons and barrels. They claim that by reason of a conspiracy between the Standard Oil Company and the railroad systems of the Southwest, particularly those railroads operating in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Arkansas, Iowa and the territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, they are limited to the state of Kansas for a market for their refined oil; that to all points outside of Kansas the freight rates on all the products of crude petroleum are unreasonably high and have been maintained at such unreasonably high rate for the express purpose and for no other purpose than to confine business of the independent refiners to the state of Kansas. Woman Suffrage Bill. Washington—Senator Warren of Wyoming has introduced a bill giving to women the right to vote in all states for representatives in Congress. The bill was referred to the committee on woman suffrage. SOME PERTINENT QUERIES. Propounded by Colorado Superintendent of Insurance. The insurance department of the office of the auditor of state of Colorado, through E. E. Rittenhouse, deputy superintendent of insurance, has sent the following request to the head of every insurance company doing business in the state, something over 200 in all: Dear Sir: The following inquiries are the submitted with the request that the answers be sworn to and returned, if possible, before March 1, 1906; same when received, to be attached to and filed with your annual statement to this department: 1.

If so please state amounts so paid each officer, director or trustee. 4.—Has any officer, director or trustee of your company participated in commissions, interest or other profits of any syndicate or pool formed for the purpose of buying or selling property or securities for your company since January 1, 1905? If so, please give details. 5.—Has any officer, director or trustee of your company participated, since January 1, 1905, directly or indirectly, through commissions, interest or otherwise, in the profits of any general or local agency of your company.

On what date was your company last examined by a State Insurance Department, and by what state was the examination made? REVOLUTION IN ECUADOR. Government Changes Twice in Space of One Day. Guayaquil, Ecuador.—General Alfaro occupied Quito, the capital, at 3 p.m., Thursday. A junta of notable persons met in the government palace here at 4 p.m. Friday and formed a new government. Vice President Moreno assumed the executive power, establishing the capital here and appointing a new ministry. Rioting followed. The people during the afternoon attacked the prisons, liberated the political prisoners and afterward captured the police barracks, where the rioters obtained possession of a number of rifles and some cannon. Rifle shots later were heard in all parts of the city, and the rioters became so bold that they attacked a battalion of artillery. Two hundred persons were killed or wounded on both sides during the fighting. The new ministry only lasted one hour. The people rejected the election of Moreno and proclaimed as president General Alfaro, the former president of Ecuador and leader of the revolution, and in his absence Dr. Emilio Arvalo assumed the civil and military authority. A great panic prevailed here during the evening, and in the midst of the disorder General Leonidas Plaza, minister of Ecuador to the United States, who arrived here January 18th and assumed chief command of the army in its operations against the rebels, escaped from the city and embarked on the Chilean steamer Loa, which leaves to-morrow for Panama. Later in the evening order was restored. NotIce to Claim Owners. Pueblo, Colo.—The clerks in the local land office, acting under orders from Washington, are sending out notices to persons claiming homesteads and mining claims, and who have not completed their proofs and paid the remainder of their fees. It is stated that there are several thousand of these in southern Colorado, a major portion of whom are in the Pueblo district, homesteaders and persons patenting mining claims having taken only the preliminary steps and paid the first fees required, in many cases. It is the desire of the land office to make room by clearing up these unfinished cases and it is understood that in most of these cases, at least, failure to obey the order will forfeit their title. Business in the Pueblo office will be greatly increased after February 28th, when the Lamar office will be consolidated with it. The Market Co. 1633-35-37-39 Arapahoe Street.

Every voter should attend to this by going to the court house yourself and not being escorted there by some political worker or riding in a carriage paid for out of the proceeds of some campaign slush fund. This is the first step in asserting your political duty and independence. After you are properly registered then go to the polls when the time comes and vote for the man or set of men who will study your best welfare and interest the year around. In this way we win respect for the race and ourselves. Don't be led to the political alter with the same old halter that has been put over our necks in the past. Pick out the men on your ticket that will best serve the people and keep in mind that the man who has a special campaign greeting for you before the election will be so far from you after he is safely landed in office by a large majority, that you cannot hand him a red apple from home. The time to make up your mind and prepare for sensible action is a long time before the political pot begins to brew. TRUTHFULNESS. The one thing that has done more than anything else to retard our success and hinder progress in this community is a lack of down right truthfulness. Carelessness in handling the truth has destroyed confidence and interest in each others purpose and welfare, and left each one of us to mistrust the other. Many of the enemies we have made is the result of our having deceived them. A man prefers that we be honest with him even if we are against him and have a preference for another. There is no use in lieing. It is a malicious habit and the facts are certain in due time to come to the surface and make against us in the end. We need every man's respect and friendship and we only have and retain it on the basis of truthfulness. When people understand that we will not lie to or for then they are willing to converse freely, but when they are skeptical about our reliability they will withhold much that is important. Truthfulness is dual in its nature. A man that won't lie himself—First: Will not lie on others, and Second: Will not believe or use lies told to him. Thus if a man will resolve to take the right understanding of facts and clear the atmosphere of intrigue and dishonesty. Denver needs a revival of old time truthfulness. It will do more in re establishing confidence and rehabilitate the race with hope and courage and purpose than anything that could possibly come to us now. Let's try it. Next week we shall speak on the other side, "Getting even." THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING Mrs. Booker T. Washington dropped some sensible thoughts during her stay in Denver that we do well to ponder. "Race prejudice is not so flagrant as in the past." Among men and women who live practical lives there is no prejudice, they are too busy working out the days problems and those of the future to give time to thinking whether or not they have been snubbed or made to feel the existence of a color line. As far as I am concerned, there is so much happiness to be found among my own people, so wide a field of labor and such gratifying results that I have no desire to seek happinesss among another people." These are sensible words for sensible people to think about. If practiced they would produce self-respect in our own race industry and happiness. We need not go out of our own race to find avenues of service, usefulness and pleasure such as contact with no other race can give What the Negro needs is to build up character, reputation, worth and institutions among themselves and not live on the borrowed progress of other people. These are pertinent facts that lie at the basis of true advancement. What has been done, can be done again and surpassed and our race has it in their power to make themselves without depending on outside assistance. The same means and methods that have made other races potent are at our disposal and if properly exercised will produce similar results. Ours women's clubs are in a position to do excellent service if they will but recognize the homely principles that lie at the foundation of development and follow them, instead of whirling away time in society amusements tete-a-tete dogma. The race is making excellent progress notwithstanding the social idlers and parasite that yet clings to it. Washington, Jan. 20.—Representative J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama, who, in a speech before the house referring to Booker T. Washington's dinner at the White House with President Roosevelt, hinted there would have been no great loss had a bomb exploded under the table, has had occasion to draw a very thin color line for himself. It was no thicker than bunk between upper and lower in the Pullman, with the Negro president of the Tuskegee institute in the lower at that. The representative's telegraphic instruction for a berth reservation having gone astray he was glad to pile into upper 2 and rest there. WHAT'S 'PHONE FOR, ANYWAY! Unexpected Result of Finding Out Who Was Listening. A Philadelphia lawyer, who has a telephone on a four-party wire in his house, had a recent experience of human cuhosity. On such a telephone arrangement anyone or all of the four subscribers may hear any conversation if they wish to eavesdrop. The lawyer's wife suspected one of the neighbors of eavesdropping. "Saturday," said the lawyer, "she held a prearranged conversation over the telephone with me, and suddenly shut me off. She explained that one of her neighbors was eavesdropping and that she intended to have the thing stopped. 'I know the woman well,' she said, 'and the next time she speaks to me I'll insult her.' "Later my wife explained that she could tell the culprit when she avoided her. Next day we went to church to make the test and met an awful shock. "Not one of our three neighbors on the party line noticed us, although they have always been very friendly. My wife found the culprits all right, but she had neglected to figure on the natural curiosity of all women."—New York Tribune. How Gladstone Reached the People. One time Mr. Gladstone during his actively career delivered a long address to a single newspaper reporter in the house of a friend. This speech, taken down in shorthand and published in full in the newspapers, got a large audience. Centenarian Could Dance. Benina Baronl, born 107 years ago In the city of Mexico, died in Oakland, Cal., recently. Four years ago she danced the fandango and sang Spanish songs to her own accompaniment on the guitar. She died of old age. FINE ORATION BY INDIAN WONDERFUL CROSS IN SKY PAINT FROM ROYAL HEARTS WEIGHED IN THE BALANCE In the twilight of the tribal life of the American aborigines stands the chief of the Creeks, says the Muskogee I. T..) Times. He is heard to utter the following oration. It will be read in the reading books of the youth of other centuries. The oration is dignified, tranquil, eloquent. There is hope in the heart of the chief whose people dared and forebore so long in the unspoken cut of the forest. Gen. Pleasant Porter said: The vitality of our race still persists. We have not lived for naught. We are the original discoverers of this continent and the conquerors of it from the animal kingdom, and from it first taught the art of peace and war, and first planted the institutions of virtue, truth and liberty. The European nations found us here and were made aware that it was possible for men to exist and subsist here. We have given to European people on this continent our thought forces. The best blood of our ancestors have been intermingled with their best statesmen and leading citizens. We have ourselves an indestructible element in their natural history. We have shown what they believe to be arid and desert places were habitable and capable of sustaining millions of people. We have led the vanguard of civilization in our conflict with them for tribal existence from ocean to ocean. The race that has rendered this service to the other Perfectly formed, exquisitely colored and standing out in bold relief from a cloudy sky, a wonderful cross was observed here this afternoon. Five minutes after the sun had disappeared, its rays, piercing a low bank of clouds along the horizon, were thrown upon a higher bank of dark gray clouds in the form of a perfect cross, blood red in color, which was visible without a perceptible change in form for fully ten minutes. In some places people rushed from their homes into the street to watch the awe-inspiring spectacle, which many superstitious ones regard as portending some wonderful event in their community. Frightened negroes fell upon their knees in the streets, believing the Judgment at hand. Passengers on trains from Philadelphia had their attention called to the brilliant coloring of the western heavens, and windows and vestibules were filled with faces. To these the flaming cross was visible several minutes. One thus graphically describes the scene: A correspondent of the Paris Temps describes the discovery of an affidavit in the national archives signed Philippe Henri Schunck, a citizen of Paris of about the year 1819, who is certified as having been a good royalist of unimpeachable character. His statement is to the effect that he made the acquaintance of an artist named St. Martin, a friend of a revolutionary official who superintended the opening of monuments in the Jesuits' church. St. Martin related that he and another palister named Martin Droling were present on the occasion of the opening of the monument, their object being to utilize the royal dust as momie, a valuable dark brown pigment which was then usually obtained from mummy cases and ancient tombs. St. Martin actually converted part of the heart of Louis XIV. to this use, but handed over the rest with the "So I hear you are going to part with the new minister, the one that came here from Brownsville?" "Jest so; he didn't suit our folks at all," responded Uncle Jesse Putnam promptly. "Well, you folks must be getting hard to please, all of a sudden. Now you like that old-fashioned man, Dr. Patterson—" "Nice, easy sort of feller; read his sermons in a ca'm, unconcerned kind of way," interrupted Uncle Jesse, by way of comment. "Yes, and you took to young Mr. Banks—I thought you'd object to him, after Dr. Patterson! Why, young Banks was a regular firebrand, full of vim and enterprise—delivered his sermons in a loud, excited voice. When he, too, fitted into things here in Shelbyville, I concluded young folks would take to any one that came along." Both the octopus and the cuttlefish have arms that are clothed with a formidable array of suckers which are wonderful pieces of mechanism. When the sucker comes into contact with an object, the central piston, having previously been raised so as to completely fill the cavity of the sucker, is at once withdrawn and a perfect vacuum produced explaining the great tenacity with which the suckers cling. They number upward of 100 pairs to each arm of the octopus, and once they obtain a grip on the victim, unless the arm is actually torn away from the body of the octopus it is practically impossible for its prey to disentangle itself. In addition to these suckers the octopus has powerful pair of jaws, shaped like the beak of a parrot, behind which is a formidable arm-plat nations of mankind can not perish utterly. Though our tribal organization is fading away, we will be transformed as a potent factor, an element within the body of Christian civilization. The philosophy of the history of the future shall trace many of the principles of government and institutions so dear to them to those they found among us. Now that we have demonstrated that we have the ability to make for ourselves and our children homes, and having sanction of every law, let us make for ourselves this firm resolution: Let our every act speak it forth; let the elements of forces of nature carry our resolutions to our fellow men the world over; let them in their senses know and feel it and enter upon the performance of our high mission. Many of you have accomplished it already; many have begun it; begin at once and devote all your energies of soul, mind and body to the task set before us, even if it takes years —yes, a lifetime, to carry it out. When we have thus resolved to make for ourselves and our children homes, we will have indited in and upon ourselves a law for our guidance which divine and human law will protect and sustain us in its maintenance. No statutory law will ever annul it, and we shall then have risen to the place of our high destiny. magnificence of the sky's colors from the time our train crossed the Delaware River bridge. "As the first sank below the horizon three immense bars of golden light shot upward nearly to the zenith. As if by magic, two disappeared, and the remaining one seemed to become as dazzling as the orb that had just disappeared. "With the same suddenness, a bright bar of light fell across this perpendicular one, forming a cross that was geometrically perfect. Its height was about 15 degrees, and at first it was a bright orange color, but gradually changed into a gorgeous red. All about this form of a cross the clouds were dark greenish gray, while beyond they presented almost every color and tint imaginable in marvelous arrangement. "The cross disappeared as it came, the horizontal bar going first, and the upright slowly fading away, after which the sky again became a bright orange color, which gradually faded as darkness fell."—Atlantic City Cor.

St. Martin made this surrender during his last illness when he could hardly have been in the mood to perpetrate a practical joke on posterity. As to Drooling, Schunck learned from St. Martin that the two painters also witnessed the opening of other monuments and that Drooling bought eleven hearts, including those of Anne of Austria, Maria Theresa, Gaston of Orleans, the Regent and Mme. Henriette, who was immortalized by Bossuet's funeral oration, and made them into momie. A picture by Drooling "Interieur de Cuisine" is in the Louvre and it is quite possible that its dark tints owe their richness to minute parts of defunct Bourbons.

The octopus will attack and kill crabs and lobsters of considerable size, ripping open the body by means of its powerful jaws and devouring the contents. In spite of being a creature of such awe-inspiring looks, the octopus has several enemies in various species of whales, sharks and conger eels, in fact, the latter are particularly fond of devouring the smaller octopuses. Conger eels hunt for the octopus and when found, proceed to browse on its limbs. The actopus tries to hug the slippery, slimy conger tight, but in vain, and, finding its limbs growing less, discharges its ink in the face of the foe and under cover of the turbid water beats a hasty retreat. It is to escape the too-pressing attention of its foes that the octopus possesses the power of changing its color to correspond with that of its surroundings. the Dates of DENVER'S AN JARY WHITE S E ARE THE OPENING THESE ARE THE OPENING DAYS Tuesday, January 2nd Sale of Linens, Sheet and Bedding.

Besides the big yellow rat catcher Tabby and the Maltese Dan, which will do all the tricks commonly done by dogs, such as jumping through the hands, sitting up to "say his prayers," etc. the Ohio penitentiary boasts another interesting pet. He arrived recently from the sunny south in a bunch of bananas and is a great tarantula, which looked so ferocious they put him in solitary confinement on sight, although no misdemeanors can be proved against him. When standing with his legs spread out he just fills the bottom of the pint milk bottle in which he slept last night. A hole was cut in the cover for air and Mexico Pete, as the guards have named him, did very well last night, but will require larger quarters when he desires to exercise. His chief amusement was tying into bundles the numerous flies which by some odd song or perfume were attracted into his bottle. Those he couldn't eat he spun a chain around and laid by for future provisions. Pete is dark red and very hairy—for his covering is too long and coarse to be simply "fuzzy"—and although he has ten legs, like any tarantula, his body is larger, and he has a head something like a turtle's. He is also blessed with a ravenous appetite and his mouth could be plainly seen opening and closing last night, already in anticipation of his morning breakfast of bananas. WAS SAVING HIS HAT Good Excuse for Putting Chair From Under Would-Be Sitter. "That," said Thomas F. Ryan, reorganizer of the Equitable Life, "was a poor excuse." Mr. Ryan was discussing a Wall Street deal wherein a financier had roughly handled a railroad man. The financier had come forth with an excuse for his conduct, and it was this excuse that Mr. Ryan was condemning. "A poor excuse," he repeated. "By no means a sufficient excuse in the eyes of the railroad man. "That railroad man feels, I suppose, like another misused man whom I once saw in a restaurant. "The man I refer to was about to seat himself and order luncheon, when the chair was pulled from under him, and down he flopped to the floor, shaking the very building. "He rose and rushed at the fellow who had so misused him. This person, though, was not at all alarmed. He said, with a calm, self-righteous air: "You were going to sit down on my hat." Consistency. Herbert McFadden, at the funeral directors' annual convention in Philadelphia, declared consistency to be an overrated virtue. "Because," he said, "we held the French method of embalming to be the best ten years ago, must we, for consistency's sake, stick to the French method now, when we know that the American method in every way surpasses it? "These upholders of consistency would go as far as the widow who wanted to have her husband cremated. "She took the corpse to the crematory, and the manager of the place said to her: LAST WEEK OF OUR SALE General Wind Up Before Stock taking with many lines of surplus winter goods still in tact, and To Be Sold Very Cheap.

ACEMENT! or New Store, 829 with an entire new Men's Furnishing --- —AT— Remember Exchanges Cheerfully Made --- PANTHER HUNTING IN INDIA ESCAPED FROM AN OCTUPUS WALKER MADE FIRST MATCH --- THROUGH THE LONG YEARS Of the subtlety and guile of the sultan of Turkey a diplomat writes: "The sultan can lie and cheat with all the bland simplicity of the heathen Chinee; in fact, his capacity for deception amounts to little short of genius. I remember that a shrewd Yankee friend of mine who was minister at Constantinople, pitted his brains against those of the sultan. He had been specially commissioned by the United States to collect some outstanding debts which had been long due. The sultan acknowledged the debts cheerfully; he was most anxious to pay them; he would pay them before those due to any other power. However, my diplomatic friend determined to pay a visit to the sultan and to wake him up. He had already refused a present which the sultan had sent him of two superb Arab horses, which, had he had a weak spot, would assuredly have found it. My friend was tenacious. He had often lassoed and thrown and held a bull in Texas, and he was cute, as all good Yankees are. Besides, he was angry with the sultan, and things had reached a crisis. "But he had not been two minutes in the society of the commander of the faithful before all his resentment In certain parts of India the panther is named "bipat," which means calamity, for he is an ever-present scourge among the people. His proper name is tendwa. It is the habit of these panthers for a family of them to quarter themselves on a circle of villages within convenient distance of their nightly prowlings. As soon as the sun is below the horizon they rally forth from the cover of the surrounding forests and watch the paths by which the village herds and flocks return to their resting places. If a meal cannot be secured then, later on they enter a village and patrol the dark lanes in the boldest manner. Nothing comes amiss to them that is not too large and heavy for their strength. Children, dogs, goats and the young cattle are their favorite quarry. They are bold enough to dash into a hut even with a light burning in it, seize their prey, then rush away with lightning speed and, with a noiselessness that is marvelous, retreat with their prize to the nearest cover and there devour it. In the morning the poor Here is a true story of an octopus, not the kind that has its headquarters in New Jersey. "Two fishermen were plying their vocation off Great Belle Island, Conception Bay, off the Newfoundland coast. Suddenly they discovered at a short distance from them a dark, shapeless mass floating on the surface of the water. Concluding that it was probably part of the cargo of some wrecked vessel, they approached it, anticipating a valuable prize, and one of them struck the object with his boathook. Upon receiving the shock the dark heap became suddenly animated, and, spreading out, discovered a head, with a pair of large, prominent, staring eyes, which seemed to gleam with intense ferocity, the creature at the same time exposing to view and opening its parrot-like beak with an apparently hostile and malignant purpose. The men were petrified with terror and for a moment so fascinated by the horrible sight that they were powerless to make a move to defend themselves. "Before they had time to recover In the nineteenth century—the century in which so many wonderful things were done—the fourth step in the development of the match was taken. In 1827 John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash and sulphid of antimony and rubbed it on sandpaper and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction chemical, because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, it nevertheless was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked won- At five a malden's wants are few: A set of blocks, a doll or two; A little place inside to play; It it should come a fairy day; A pair of shoes in phafore; I really think of nothing more. Nor wants she overmuch at ten; A birthday party now and then; A hair of a fairy hair; A little better dress to wear; Perhaps a pony cart to drive— A bit more than she did at five. A modest increase at 15; A party dress, in red or green; A room alone that she may fix With bric-a-brac and candlesticks, A parasol, a fan—and, oh! I quite forgot to add—a beau! At twenty she is quite above All childish wants—she asks but love, And dreams of princes, tall and fair, And dreams of fairies, bare and dwarf All dangers; and she keeps apart For him the castle of her heart. At twenty-five her fancy goes Fruits, frills and furbels. A country place, a house in town. A better rig than Mrs. Brown began to ooze out of his finger tips. He told me that, looking into that benevolent countenance and listening to that gentle voice, he could not believe that the sultan was not as innocent as the child that had just seen the light. Still, he had come there on business. He was very resolute. Again and again he had broached the subject, and every time the sultan had given him the assurance that the account would be settled presently. He took him over his grounds and led my friend to recount the stories of his rough-riding in Texas, his exploits in the civil war. The sultan showed some knowledge and great interest in these affairs. A detailed and particular account of the American constitution was next. "Then came dinner. There followed, while they smoked cigars together like two old cronies, a Turkish comedy, with Turkish dancing girls. Then suddenly and with words gracious but few, the suitan disappeared. It was late. My friend returned to the legation, cheerful and exasperated, beaten and content. The next morning he realized that in a diplomatic play with the suitan it was he who was as innocent as the child that had just seen the light. He never got those debts paid." villager, following the tracks of the retreating animal, soon arrives at the few remains of his goat or calf, or maybe, his child. In the following way the natives get their revenge. A stray dog is caught in the village and is tied on the path generally frequented by the panther family. The bait is carried off during the night and devoured close by. Next day a machan (platform) is fixed in a convenient tree and in the evening a kid is tied on the spot occupied by the dog on the previous night. The sportsman settles himself in the machan before sunset and begins his watch. Terrified by his lonely position the kid begins a frantic bleating, which soon attracts the panther marauders, which are skulking about near the spot where they found their last meal. A short stalk soon brings them to the kid and directly under the concealed sportsman, who shoots the beasts. It is impossible to follow the panthers into the impenetrable cover they frequent and they never show themselves in daylight. their presence of mind the monster, now but a few feet from the boat, suddenly shot out from around its head several long, fleshy arms, grappling with them for the boat, and seeking to envelop it in their folds. Only the two longest of these arms reached the craft, and, owing to their great length, went completely over and beyond it. Seizing his hatchet, with a desperate effort one of the men succeeded in severing these limbs with a single well-delivered blow, and the creature, finding itself worsted, immediately disappeared beneath the waters, leaving in the boat its amputated members as a trophy of the encounter. "One of the arms was, unfortunately, destroyed before its value was known, but the other, when brought to St. John's and examined by the Rev. M. Harvey, was found to measure no less than nineteen feet. The fisherman who acted as surgeon declares there must have been at least six feet more left attached to the monster's body. The story is preserved in the proceedings of the British Zoological Society." ders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sand-paper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match the match with which we are so familiar. After the invention of the easily lighted phosphorus match there was no longer use for the dip-splint or the strike-a-light. The old methods of getting a blaze were gradually laid aside and forgotten. The first phosphorus matches were sold at 25 cents a block—a block containing 144 matches—and they were used by but few. Now a hundred matches can be bought for a cent. It is said that in the United States we use about 15,000,000,000 matches a year. This, on an average, is about five matches a day for every person—St. Nicholas. Or Black or Jones, and just a wee Small figure in Society. At thirty—well, a little tea For the distinguished Mrs. B.

Professor Howard of the Missouri State Agricultural College says: "I advise American farmers to cultivate Ginseng. Big profits are realized. It is easily grown." A bulletin by the Pennsylvania State College says: "The supply of native Ginseng Root is rapidly diminishing and the price per pound is correspondingly increasing, while the constant demand for the drug in China stands as a guarantee of a steady market for Ginseng in the future." American Consul General Wildman at Hong Kong writes: "There will be little difficulty in disposing on this coast of all the Ginseng that is grown in America. Ginseng is a staple on the market the same as corn, wheat and cotton. The present market price varies from $6.00 to $8.00 per pound, while the cost of production is less than $1.50. There is room in one's garden to grow several hundred dollars worth each year. The plant can be grown throughout the United States and Canada in any soil or climate that will grow ordinary garden vegetables. There are two planting seasons, spring and fall. We are buyers and exporters of the dried product, and grow roots and seeds for planting purposes. Let us show you how to make money growing Ginseng. You can get a practical start in the business for a small outlay and soon have a nice income. Send two-cent stamp to-day for our illustrated literature telling all about it.

ACCEPTS SEVERAL CHANGES Railroad Commission to Comprise Seven Members—Shall Fix a "Just Reasonable and Fairly Remunerative Rate." Washington.—After a conference lasting all the afternoon the House committee on interstate and foreign commerce Tuesday agreed upon a rate bill, to be known as the Hepburn bill, and to be reported to the House with the unanimous recommendation of the eighteen members of the committee. In the main the bill is the original Hepburn bill, but a number of concessions were made to the Democrats, and their ideas as set forth in the Davie bill were freely incorporated in the perfected measure. Chairman Hepburn was congratulated by all the members of his committee on the drafting of a bill upon which the two parties could agree and the members of the committee assert confidence that the successful outcome of their long conferences will have marked effect upon the attitude of the Senate toward the measure. Mr. Hepburn and the other Republicans agreed to accept the wording of the Democratic bill in the provision for the fixing of the maximum rate. The amendment which was accepted provides that the commission shall fix a "just, reasonable and fairly remunerative rate, which shall be the maximum rate." It was maintained by the Democrats that under the original Hepburn wording the commission was required to fix the highest of the "just, reasonable and fairly remunerative rates," in case there were several such rates. Chairman Hepburn and the Republicans do not believe there is any difference in the two wordings, but were perfectly willing to accept the language of the Davie bill. The amended bill also provides for seven members of the interstate commerce commission instead of nine, as was provided in the original Hepburn bill. Another amendment incorporated at the request of the Democrats provides that in cases where no damages are assessed the commission may simply state its conclusion and need not set forth its findings. A section of the Davie bill requiring that the attorney general in appealed cases shall file the certificate necessary to expedite the hearing was incorporated in the amended bill. Another amendment provides that orders of the commission shall continue in force for three years unless repealed. No existing cases are to be affected by the bill, and all laws relating to witnesses and the conducting of hearings before the commission are to be continued. JACK, THE STABBER Moral Pervert Stabs Many Girls on Streets of St. Louis. St. Louis—Known victims of Jack the Stabber, the degenerate youth who on Monday night created terror on the streets of St. Louis, now number fourteen. The complete list follows: Miss Lydia Heeddsheimer, 717 Mound street, left thigh. Miss Rosa Keringer, 2208 Menard, abdomen. Miss Amelia Meusel, 1532 Cass, right thigh. Miss Katherine Freesmeir, 3168 Fourteenth, stomach. Miss Rita Maryin, 1112 North Leon- ard, left leg. Miss Mary Tillay, 6133 Gambleton place, right thigh. Miss Cora Davis, 1714 Locust street, left leg. Miss Grace Oglesby, 2026 Washington, left hip. Miss Clara Von Behren, 1413 Clinton street, left thigh. Miss Maud Hall, 1322 Olive street left hip. Miss Laura Marschel, 3017 McNair avenue, right thigh. Miss Marie Kratzer, 2240 Osage street, left thigh. Miss Jennie Sharp, Belleville, Illinois, left hip. It is believed by the police that other women have been stabbed by the fiend and that they have refrained from reporting their experiences through shame or timidity. Several victims admitted to-day that they never would have said anything about their injuries had they not wanted to aid in capturing the crank. The experiences and wounds of the fourteen women are so similar there is no doubt the same man attacked them all. In each case a young, slight fellow hurried up to the girls or passed them on the run or rapid walk, josted them, stabbed the victims and then fleeing. Allenists and professors of physiology agree that the crimes were committed by a moral pervert type. In many point the St. Louis fiend recalls the case of the celebrated "Girl Stabber of Bozen," well known to medical men the world over, who stabbed many girls in the abdomen before he was made a subject of legal investigation. Despite faithful efforts of the police no trace of the fiend has been found. Message from Spiritland. New York.—Whispers from Spirit land are reported as a manifestation of the spirit of the late Dr. Richard Hodgson, secretary of the Society for Psychical Research, who died December 20. This second communication is said to have been received by a young woman who has a letter written by Professor Hodgson a few hours before his death, introducing her to Prof. William James, vice president of the society. It says: "Dr. Hodgson came before me Sunday. Suddenly my fingers worked convulsively as if in the act of writing and I heard distinctly the messages which I wrote." On a sheet of letter paper was written: "It is I, Dr. Richard Hodgson. Tell Professor James, as I promised. Everything is all right. Tell Professor James." JOINT STATEHOOD BILL Reported to House by Majority of the Committee. Washington.—The Republican members of the committee on territories submitted to the House this afternoon the majority report on the Hamilton joint statehood bill, which provides for the admission of Oklahoma and Indian Territory as the state of Oklahoma, and provides joint statenode for New Mexico and Arizona under the name of Arizona. The Democrats on the committee presented an adverse report. The Republican report reviews the bill in detail, explaining that the capital of Arizona is to be at Santa Fe until 1915, and that the capital of Oklahoma is to be at Guthrie for the same length of time, when the people can choose their capital sites with justice to all parts of the states. The Democratic members of the committee presented a minority report to-day, in opposition to the Hamilton bill. After reviewing the resources of the four territories of Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Indian Territory, and declaring in favor of joint statehood for Oklahoma and Indian Territory, the report says there is no more reason for joining New Mexico and Arizona than there would be for joining Alaska and Porto Rico. "The manifest purpose of the majority is to unjustly keep Oklahoma out of the Union unless they can, with greater injustice, force Arizona in," says the report. JOINT STATEHOOD WINS Administration Program Carries in the House. Washington.—When the smoke of the liveliest legislative battel of the session had cleared up in the House Wednesday Speaker Cannon and his organization were in complete control and the joint statehood program of the administration had been adopted. Forty-three Republican "insurgents" went down to defeat, having voted vainly with the Democrats to gain control of the rule the terms of which are to govern the statehood bill in the passage through the House. The vote ordering the previous question on the rule was 132 ayes, and 165 nays. This clearly defeated the opposition, the full strength of which was polled, and little interest was taken on the vote for the adoption of the rule, which was carried by a majority of thirty. The rule adopted provides that the bill granting statehood to Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as "Oklahoma" and Arizona and New Mexico as "Arizona" shall be debated until 3 o'clock Thursday and then voted on without opportunity of amendment. David W. Irwin Convicted Denver.—Five years at hard labor and $500 fine was the sentence impose upon David W. Irwin Wednesday after the jury in the federal court had found him guilty of perjury as indicted on four counts, charging complicity in the Eastern Colorado land frauds. Irwin was a real estate dealer in Akron. His sentence was the result of preparing fraudulent final proofs on timber culture entries on government land and disposing of the land to innocent parties. This is the second conviction which the government has secured since the land frauds in the Akron district were exposed six months ago. A. A. McKean, former District Court clerk in Yuma county, was recently convicted on similar indictments and was sentenced to the Leavenworth (Kansas) federal prison for eighteen months. He is now serving the sentence. Charities and Corrections Pueblo.—The ninth annual conference of the State Charities and Corrections Society closed here Tuesday night. The election of officers and visits to the county poor farm, Pueblo hospital and the Work sanitarium were features of the day. Denver was chosen as the next meeting place and November 18th the date. At Tuesday night's session addresses were made by Dr. W. P. Slocum of Colorado Springs, Dr. L. Merrill of Denver, Dr. Eleanor Lawney of Denver and Prof. J. F. Keating of Pueblo. The officers are: President, Dr. R. W. Corwin, Pueblo; secretary, Mrs. S. Hiskel, Denver; treasurer, Miss Gertrude, Vail, Denver; vice presidents, E. H. Pfeiffer of Crippie Creek, W. S. Freidman of Denver, J. H. Pershing of Denver, Dr. W. S. Slocum of Colorado Springs, Mrs. S. A. George of Denver and Dr. Hubert Work of Pueblo. Bad Break in Eggs Chicago.—The coterie of gentlemen who blithely bought up millions of dozens of eggs last fall, expecting to reap a golden harvest this winter, are facing bankruptcy instead. Because of the unusually warm weather there has been no diminution of the regular supply, and eggs that were bought to corner the supply at 17 to 23 cents per dozen are now a drug on the market at 11 to 14 cents. Members of the pool admit they are losing more than a million dollars a month and unless cold weather comes soon and stops the hens laying throughout the country, they are facing certain ruin. New Field for Funston San Francisco.—The Call says Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston will soon be relieved from command of the Department of California and ordered to the Philippines, where he will be placed in charge of one of the brigades which are being formed in Luzon with a view to their possible utilization in connection with any move which may be made against China. Election Officials Acquitted Denver.—Frank Kratke, Alderman Mahoney, Edward R. O'Malia, Charles Koffsky and Carl Wilson, charged with conspiracy to interfere with voters at the national election in Precinct 8. Ward 5. Denver, at the election held in November, 1904, were acquitted by a jury in the United States court Monday. LOST EYESIGHT Through Coffee Drinking WILLING TO SHARE WITH GOD Simple Faith and Gratitude of a Little Child. The simple faith of a little child, whether applied to parents, friend or to God, found an illustration in a story recently told by Dr. Levi G. Broughton of Atlanta, Ga., when he was in Boston. It was related to him by a friend in the railroad service as follows: "My little girl came to me a little while before Christmas and said: 'Papa, I want you to pray to God and ask him to have Santa Claus bring me a dolly for Christmas.' I promised, and on Christmas morning she found her doll, and called me to see it. As she looked it over, examining the face, the eyes, the hair, and the clothes, she said, 'Papa, haunt 'God good?' He's gouder than I thought he was. Do you think he sent little brother anything?" "I told her she might go over to her grandma's, where brother was visiting, and find out. Presently she returned, with her face all covered with happy smiles, and exclaimed, 'O, papa! God sent brother a beautiful great big hobby-horse.' "Breakfast came soon after and as we sat down at the table she climbed upon my knee, and putting he, arms around my neck she said again. 'Hain't God good?' and he was gooder to brother than he was to me, wasn't he? "I replied, "Yes, he is good, and now what are you going to do for God, dear?" "O. I'm going to let God play with my dolly all he wants to; and I'm going to ask brother to let God ride his hobby-horse, too."—Boston Post. Put His Foot in It. J. Nota McGill, ex-register of wills for the District of Columbia, and now professor of patent law at Georgetown university, lost a hat, a point to a joke, and a goodly amount of temper yesterday. This is how it came to pass: Mr. McGill was walking from the patent office up G. Street to his own office, when he came face to face with a nor'wester. Mr. McGill is not of the excitable kind, but when that nor'wester struck him he lost his head—or rather his hat. "Hey, there," cried the ex-register, "stop that brand new hat of mine! Won't some one stop it?" There was something in the professor's voice that appealed to a dapper looking stranger, who made a lunge at the head gear, but could do no better than put his feet through it. Consequently the brim was the only part recognizable after the fatality. "Well, you certainly have put your foot in it," shouted Mr. McGill. "Beg pardon, what did you say?" asked the dude. "I say you've put your foot in it." "By Jove, say not so, old char." "Say not so yourself," growled the professor, "you surely have fixed my hat up all right." "I am awfully sorry—weally," confessed the dude. "Let me 'ave it mended." "Oh, no," said the ex-register with sarcasm, "the brim is not worth a crown now." "A crown! I should say it is! Why the bloomin' thing is worth a sovereign at least!"—Washington Post. Busy American Women The American woman is going ahead. The census returns show that 5,000,000 and more women are employed in the nation's industrial life. There are now three times as many women stenographers as there were ten years ago, while the number of women bookkeepers and accountants has doubled. The percentage of saleswomen also shows a corresponding increase. Women have risen to be treasurers of street railways, presidents of national and savings banks, secretaries of financiers on salaries of $10,000 and $12,500, executive heads of building and contracting firms, buyers for large stores, etc. They are to be met with in a hundred responsible capacities, all of them outside the once circumscribed field of female occupations, and in all of which a talent for figures is a prime requisite of success. Nodd—Why did you have your telephone changed from a direct wire to a party line? Todd—My wife complained she couldn't hear a thing the neighbors said. "Is he behind with his tailor?" "No, I think he's at least two suits ahead." Some people question the statements that coffee hurts the delicate nerves of the body. Personal experience with thousands proves the general statement true and physicians have records of great numbers of cases that add to the testimony. The following is from the Rockford, Ill., Register-Gazette: Dr. William Langhorst of Aurora has been treating one of the queerest cases of lost eyesight ever in history. The patient is O. A. Leach of Beach county, and in the last four months he had doctored with all of the specialists about the country and has at last returned home with the fact impressed on his mind that his case is incurable. A portion of the optic nerve has been ruined, rendering his sight so limited that he is unable to see anything before him. He can see plainly anything at the side of him.

Rear-Admiral Hichborn is one of the best-known officers of our navy. His statements concerning Peruna will have much weight as they go out in the world. What he says is echoed by many other officers of high standing. What the Admiral Says. Philip Hichborn, Reu-Admiral of the U. S. Navy, Washington, D. C., writes: "After the use of Peruna for a short period, I can now cheerfully recommend your valuable remedy to any one who is in need of an invigorating tonic."—Philip Hichborn. PRICE. 25 Cts. TO CURE THE GRIP IN ONE DAY ANTHGRIPINE TAS NO EQUAL FOR HEADACHE AN IS GRIP, BA I won't sell L. Call for F. W. Die EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS. Recently published translations from the German writings of C. B. Schillings, the noted African traveler and animal photographer, have been interesting a good many people in this country, says the Indianapolis News. Mr. Schillings has an enthusiasm for this sort of scientific investigation that has carried him to daring lengths in the achievement of his purpose. He realizes that the larger animals of Africa—the elephant, the lion, the giraffe, etc.—are rapidly becoming extinct—that in a few more generations the world will know them only as it now knows the dodo; and for this reason he has undertaken to make an accurate and scientific record of their existence in their native habitat. To do this he has gone into the wildest parts of the dark continent and photographed these animals in their wild state, both at night by means of flash light and in daytime with such sun exposures as he has been able to obtain. His work has been excellently done, and the record is interesting to us, and will be even more so to those who come after us. With its economic usefulness it is likely that the elephant will, in the course of time, take the status of the camel in the Orient and never become extinct. But the others are doomed. The giraffes are almost gone, the rhinoceros and the "river horse" are becoming rare, and lions grow scarcer year by year. And this is largely because of killing for "sport." Some of these animals, to be sure, are dangerous, but Africa is a large place. Under fair and undisturbed conditions they live to themselves and injure no one; man goes into their territory, slaughter-bent, a good deal oftener than the wild animals come to him. Ringtail Wildcat Caught. A ringtail wildcat, an animal decidedly rare in northern Michigan, has been caught by Herman Thiele, a Negaunee man, in a trap set at Goose lake. The animal has fine silky gray fur. Though there are some black stripes down the back, the most striking characteristic is a series of black stripes around the bushy tail. In this appendage it differs radically from the ordinary wildcat. The wildcat, like the lynx, is possessed of a bobtail, while the ringtail cat has a tail over a foot in length and very bushy. have been but few cases of its kind before, and they have been caused by whisky or tobacco. Leach has never used either, but has been a great coffee drinker, and the specialists have decided that the case has been caused by this. Leach stated himself that for several years he had drank three cups of coffee for breakfast, two at noon and one at night. According to the records of the specialists of this country this is the first case ever caused by the use of coffee. An Ever-Present Fee The soldier and the sailor are especially subject to catarrh. In the barracks and on the field, Peruna is found equally efficacious to overcome this physical enemy. If taken in time it will prevent colds from developing into catarrh. Even after a cold has settled in some organ of the body, Peruna can be relied upon as an efficacious remedy to promptly overcome it. Peruna will relieve catarrh, whether acute or chronic, but a few doses of it taken in the first stages of the disease will be more effective than when the disease has become established. SLOAN'S LINIMENT CURES 50c. and $1.00. Swine Disease and Hog Cholera Send for Circular with Directions. Dr. EARL S. SLOAN, 615 Albany St., Boston, Mass. Come!—be the guest of San Antonio this winter. Leave the chilly north behind you, and find health and pleasure under the stainless splendor of her turquoise sky. To all newcomers, San Antonio offers a thousand delightful surprises. For the sight-seer, the Mission Churches are still here, the Cathedral of San Fernande, and gray and ghostly in the dazzling sunlight the historic Alamo. For the invalid a perfect combination of sunny winter weather, pure, dry air, beautiful scenery and modern accommodations. The Climate's the thing in San Antonio The invigorating air, dry and warm; the altitude; the perfect natural drainage, all combine to make the temperature as nearly perfect as can be. It is possible to spend most of each day, from November to March, out-doors. The parks and plazas, the marshlands the creeks and rivers, the groves of palm and magnolia, lose their lustrous green during the winter months. San Antonio is, of all America, the oddest blending of modern utility and beauty, with the romance and heroism of the medieval. Come to San Antonio. The exceptionally low rates during the Fall and Winter months—the excellent train and bus service, via the M., K., K. & T.F.y., make it a journey of but small cost and not of a journey of but small cost. Just you to read "The Story of San Antonio." I'll see you once. Read, I'm sure you'll be more than half convinced you, should be the guest of San Antonio. Come to San Antonio! The exceptionally low rates during the Fall rush are the best for train service and accommodations via the M., K. & T. RY. make it a must-see. I was you and not of the same height. I will send it on request. Once read, I'm sure you'll be more than half convinced that you should be the guest of San Antonio this Winter. Address GEO. A. McNUTT D. P. A., M., K. & T. RY. Blossom House, Kansas City, Mo. Tickets are on sale everywhere, via Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway Let it be remembered that the eyes may be attacked in one case and the stomach in another, while in others it may be kidneys, heart, bowels or general nervous prostration. The remedy is obvious and should be adopted before too late. Quit coffee, if you show incipient disease. It is easy if one can have well-boiled Postum Food Coffee to serve for the hot morning beverage. The withdrawal of the old kind of coffee that is doing the harm and the supply of the elements in the Postum which Nature uses to rebuild the broken down nerve cells, insures a quick return to the old joy of strength and health, and it's well worth while to be able again to "do things" and feel well. There's a reason for POSTUM WOMEN'S INTERESTS Nine frocks out of ten, whether intended for morning, afternoon or evening wear, show at least a touch of velvet, and the result is usually a happy one. As for whole gowns and costumes of velvet, and coats of velvet, they are, it seems, to be legion. The manufacturers have certainly provided the wherewithal, for, though last winter's velvets were lovely, those of this season surpass them in quality and in variety. The cottonback chiffon velvets are shown in beautiful colorings, but it is, of course, in the all-silk velvets that triumphs have been attained. One may have them in plain color, and so soft, light, and supple that they make the old-time velvet seem a clumsy stuff. Ribbed silk velvet or silk corduroy is also offered in all the new colorings, and is considered very chic for street costumes. Pompadour velvets, floral panne and short-haired plush, upon which a design appears to be printed or painted, are among the novelties, as are beautifully striped velvet and satin materials. Even newer are exquisite mousse-line silks, embossed with velvet flowers in the same tone or a lighter or darker shade of the same tone, giving what is called a cafeo effect, and similar materials show velvet flowers in natural hues upon contrasting grounds. BUSCH For a young girl this new skirt is shirred into the waist, with a wide box plait paneling the front. Costumes for Young Lady A lovely little voile for a girl of 16, was made of a shade of red, more like an Indian red than anything else, but lighter. Broad tucks set the front of the walst off in a sort of square, and just inside it wandered a graceful little vine, embroidered in silk, which matched the high red exactly. Above the embroidery, drawn work, done directly upon the voile, made a yoke; and the same drawnwork—just narrow lines of threads, caught together in the simplest possible patterns—ran all away around the full flounce of the skirt. That flounce, by the way, had two deep tucks in place of its hem, and was set on to the upper part of the skirt under another tuck. It was a pretty echo of the broad tucks on the blouse. The sleeves were draped, and long, pointed cuffs finished them. Being made over white silk, every bit of the work was displayed. New Muffs. The fad for half-length jacket sleeves has given rise to a decidedly novel shape in muffs intended to keep not only the hands warm, but the lower part of the arms as well. These are distinctly a novelty, and practical, for they really fit the shape of the arms when hands are clasped. Life other muffs of the season these are flat, but they are cut with a seam in the middle and so joined that the two parts meet at an angle. This permits of the hands being thrust deep into them without bending the muffs and the length of the fur is such that it reaches to the elbows or to the beginning of the sleeves. This, of course, keeps the arms quite warm. Without exception these are trimmed with a fringe of tails or pendants, for the shape is thin in order not to make the arms look large and a fringe is needed to make the proportion good. Big Muffs and Fur Collars. The prevalence of elbow sleeves, which has brought so much grist to the mills of the glovers, has also benefited the furriers extensively and has changed the fashion in muffs. Large muffs were in vogue last winter, but they are small when compared with the gigantic models that are being sold this season. The aim of the smart furrier is to enable his customer to thrust not only her hands but the whole forepart of her arms into the luxurious depths of the muff. It is not "smart" to ask for a boa or stole now when something warm and ornamental is required for the throat, the new title of the fur tippet is cravat, which is made in several forms. One of them is that of a dog collar that clasps the neck snugly and terminates in front in cravat ends, centered by bars of velvet and tiny cold studs. Another type is a turn- over collar of chinchilla that falls upon a shoulder pelerine of sable or come other expensive fur, and lace is sometimes permitted to mingle with the fur to the end that a very becoming cravat may be accomplished.—London Daily Mall. Boudoir Confidences Foulard petticoats are serviceable and pretty. Muffs are of immense size, but feathery weight. Brussels net with coin spots is liked for evening frocks. Albatross blouses with insertions of Irish lace are lovely. Small check velvet are not so dressy as the plain colors. Many of the new muffs and stoles are simply huge bunches of tails. Buttons of cut jet are effectively used on black lace and velvet gowns. used on black lace and velvet gowns. Feathery green ferns are novel decorations appearing on the smartest hats. The lovely new embroidered silk lierre lace bids fair to take precedence over all others. Vells of champagne-colored chiffon, hand-painted with roses, violets or orchids, catch attention. Ermine and Mink. Ermine and mink form a charming combination. In a basque jacket of carefully matched mink skins, ermine faces the long revers and collar which finish the loose front seams, while a narrow band of mink is applied at the very edge. A very wide band of mink with rounding shapes the cuff of the rather scant sleeve, and is held together by a gilt filigree button. The accompanying muff is a small round affair, completely hidden beneath whole mink skins. Knife Pleating. With the revival of the soft, lustrous silks, pompadour crepes dechine, old laces and old jewelry of other days come the picot edge ribbons and the Richelleau pleatings, these in all the staple colors and the shades of the new color card. In fact, ribbons of every variety, plain and printed, narrow and wide, are used on dressy costumes for winter wear. Chiffons, soft messaline taffetas and like weaves lend themselves beautifully to ribbon decorations in the way of skirt bandings, girdles, bouillones and especially these new old pleatings. To Curl Ostrich Plumes. When an ostrich plume gets straight and stringy—in pursuance of their degrading tendencies—don't attempt to restore the curl by knife or scissors or any sharp edged instrument. These cut the fibers and leave your lap bestrewn with particles of the plume. Let the implement be smooth and blunt along the edges—an ivory paper knife is very good. The task is a little more tedious by this method, but the result is more satisfactory and the feather is not cut to pieces. HINTS TO HOUSEWIVES Clean the keys of a piano with a cloth moistened with alcohol. Salad dressing should not be mixed with salad until just before serving. Carrots and turnips will keep for weeks, if not months, if placed in layers in a box of sand. Keep macaroni in an air-tight receptacle and plunge into boiling salt water before cooking. Add borax to the water in which the dish towels are washed and it will aid in making them white and soft. Clotheslines and pegs will keep in good condition much longer if they are boiled for ten minutes before using. To stuff dates, remove the stones Yellow chiffon with lace insertions.

Black velvet on bodice. and fill the dates with almonds or pennuts; then close the fruit and roll in sugar. Clean copper kettles with lemon dipped in salt and rinse thoroughly with clear water, polishing with a soft cloth. Cleaning Soiled White Felt Hats. Cleaning Soiled White Felt Hats. White felt hats have such a distressing way of showing soil that it is a good plan to keep the right sort of cleaning materials about. Dry cleaning (or almost dry) is always best; there's no telling, with liquids, how far the soil may be spread, perhaps making an ugly little ring around the original spot. French chalk, carefully rubbed into the felt, will often do the trick; but a rather stiff paste made of powdered magnesia and water is a very good cleanser, and really is not to be classed under the head of anything but a dry cleanser—there is so little water used. Let it dry on, and then brush off very carefully. There's a wonderful little block of some white stuff—it looks like a block of magnesia—that works like magic. All you do is to rub on and brush off, and the work is done. Visiting Gown. Blue velvet, with corselet skirt and bolero trimmed with Persian embroidery, and lace chinchilla toque. The Correct Slope. The Directoire robes need to be cunningly fashioned with a tight foundation, to have the loose folds shape in to the figure and at the waistline and reveal the swell of the hip. There is very little difference between the Directoire and Empire robes, save in the detail. The Directoire has the swathing bands that come below the bust and draw the robe in to the figure, and the sleeves are of elbow length, whereas the so-called Empire has shorter sleeves, and the bands of the bodice come above or across the top of the bust, and do not draw the folds beneath into the form. The princess robe, as dinstinguished from these, is tight-fitting, but in all there is the unbroken line from the bust to the floor. The terms empire princess and princess are sufficient for practical purposes to differentiate them. New Millinery Model. One of the latest models in the millinery world is simple in construction, but stunning in appearance. It is black French beaver, the wide brim rolled gracefully on each side and the crown encircled with gold cloth. Two pale blue tips prettily arranged on left side are the only other decorations. A Dinner Novelty A French favor for luncheons or dinners is novel. It is a tiny earthen flower pot, hardly bigger than a liqueur glass, in which a four-leaf clover is growing. This is better than a pressed leaf in a glass locket, or any other artificial device. O Pink taffeta trimmed with gauge ribbon ruchings and chiffon roses in medallions.

H., who served many terms as sheriff of the county, had a habit of using the words "By the way" before addressing a person or commencing a conversation. One morning in the sixties, in opening a session of the court, the sheriff arose from his seat and in his usual dignified manner proceeded according to the custom by repeating the following. "Hear, ye. Hear, ye. All ye who have anything to do with the court of common pleas, come forward and you shall be heard according to law." At this point he sat down and remained seated for nearly a minute, then suddenly springing to his feet and looking fixedly at the judge, he exclaimed: "By the way, God save the state." Sound Reasoning "Sambo," said the owner of a country place to his gardner, "concerning that tree I wanted you to cut down, my wife thinks it had better be allowed to stand." "Well, Ah think it ought ter come down, Massa Brown," was the reply. "What at? your reasons for thinking so, Sambo?" "We—ll, sir, de first reason am dat de tree done keep de light off de greenhouse; de secon' reason am dat it's gettin' old, and de third reason am dat I cut it down last night."—Harper's Weekly.
