Dear Editor: We notice from the clippings of the eastern papers that since trouble has been booming on the Mexican border our colored soldiers are again addressed as "Sir." From the writer's own experience he knows what the other fellow thinks of him in time of peace, but in time of trouble it's please, Mr. Tommy, walk in front. The moving of the Tenth U.S. colored cavalry from Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, to the Mexican border was a good indication that something soon was expected, as in time of peace he is worthless, but answers an awful good purpose on the firing line in time of war. No doubt the question has been often asked, Can the two races always live side by side? I believe they can, as in my opinion that in proportion as the Negro gets education and thrives in material direction friction will increase. The statistics show he has begun to see the dawn of existence by the record he has made, but be we not as sheep "lay down" but please, Mr. Tommy, walk in front. Knowing we have to be prepared, why not keep training, as it's the third and lower class we must redeem, as the first two classes may easily be reckoned. But unfortunately the great body of the race and a vast percentage of the growing generation belongs to the third class. Is it this class that we are to be reckoned with? It's like a sluggish mass of uncooled lava over a large section of country, burying some portions and affecting the whole. It's apparently harmless, but beneath its surface smolder fires which at any time may burst forth and destroy all in its reach. It's this mass that's increasing from beneath, not from above, that constitutes the race question. As the situation is now it calls for thought, as the races are more divided now than ever before, as white and black mechanics no longer work together generally, as of old, as the Negro carpenter and mechanic are greatly reduced and from the writer's point of view that such work as they later may expect will be greatly among his own people. The causes are not far to seek. It is partly due to the failure of ability to hold his own in the struggle of completion, and partly to the changed condition of him and the white. As the young Negro has been taught that he is the equal of the white, and he is always asserting it and trying to prove it by any way except the right way—equality in work. Respectfully, A. G. Rhodes, Jr. CITY OBSERVATIONS Bu. I. J. T. Our last observations for this city left us in Gilbertton, near the city packing house. Mr. Dozier has just built him a nice house at 718 Astor street.

Extract of an Address by George Dite- ‘wig, D. V. 8 Bureau of Animal Industry, U. 8. Department of 1 elaine, ber Guat: oe sy “A eta Washington—It ts interesting to Anow what is belng accomplished in the humane handling of animals as the result of the federal law and reg- ulations governing the inspection of ‘ocean vessels carrying animals. A decade of go ago there was much agh tation in Great Britain on account of the frequent occurrence of cruelttes dn trans-Aulantle shipping of *nimals. In many instances where tramp and other unsuited ships wero used for cattle transportation, the fittings were Wharranged and insecure, and the spaces, ventliation and tho stores of food and water were inadequate for the number of animals carried. Many ‘wore lost at sea, while those which arrived at destination were in deplor able condition. Under an act of congress, the bu: reau of animal industry investigated the conditions of handling cattle and enforced regulations designed for their protection and proper handling which has resulted in safe and hu: mane handling of animals on ocean vessels, As a result the losses in transit soon diminished to one-third ‘of one per cent. and insurance rates on animals fell from eight to less ‘than one per cent. In recent years the cattle losses have been only about one-tenth of one per cent. The animals arrive at destination in good condition and us- ually show increased welght. ‘The enforcement by the department of agriculture of the 26-hour law, ‘which 1s designed for the purpose of preventing cruelty to animals during foterstate shipments, has resulted tn reduelng the frequency with which animals In transit have been subject- ed to cruel treatment. Many trans- portation compantes have established Additional unloading and feeding sta tions, as well as placing those al ready in existence In better condition. Prosecutions undoubtedly have kept many carriers from showing a total disregard for the law. Violations, however, still persist ebiefly for two reasons. First, the shippers insist on getting thelr live atock to destination prompt: ly, and they are indifferent to viola. tlon of the law if this object ts at talned; second, many carriers appa rently consider it cheaper to pay fines ‘than to conduct their operations on basis of reasonably rapid service with ‘out violations. ‘The only course open to the depart ment under the statute 1a to continue to collect evidence and to report vio Jatlons as they occur. A measure pro ‘poved to further remedy this evil 1 fan amendment to the present law o ‘a separate enactment to fix a mint mum speed for trains carrying liv stock. ‘The shipping of young ‘calves lons @istances without the mothers fs ‘cruelty and the enactment of a lav to remedy this abuse has many ad ‘Yocates, among which are officials o the agriculture department. ‘There still occurs frequently at dif ferent public stock yards the cruelt of depriving cattle of water. Thos atriving too late for the market of th day are not watered untll the foow ing morning in order to get what fi known as a “fil"—in other words, t gain weight. While weight 1s gained the deception 1s recognized instant by buyers. The practice !s a deltber ate cruelty and should be suppressed Like many other useful processe Aipping 1s susceptible of abuse an may entail suffering and even death 1 precautions are not oxercised in it use. The federal regulations requir that the animal be handled ar bi manely as possitle, and that cattle b freely watered before they are dipped During the last fiscal year, Inspec tors of the department supervised th Asppings of more than 12,400,000 shee and cattle, and the requirements a to humane handling were met. While the federal meat inspectio law does not havo authority to pre scribe particular methods of slaugt ‘er, the government cooperates, how ever, with others working to preven ‘abuses. The three general msthod! of slaughter used among civilized ped ple are: Bleeding, preceded by stur ning; bleeding, preceded by plthing and bleeding without stunning 0 pithing. Stunning produces concussion of th brain and the tmmediate destructio ‘of consciousness. Stunning previou to bleeding meets the demands of hu manitarian sentiment and of hygient requirements. Pithing 18 performed by a knit thrugf through the space between th baso’of the skull and the first verte ra into the medulla.

His body was placed In a wagon and hauled three miles to bis home and prepared for burial. At daylight next “morning one of the watchers discoy- ered signs of life. Vollum, after grad- ating at the medical college, passed the army examination and became a doctor in the army. At the battle of Gettysburg a bullet passed through the head of General Paul, tearing out both eyes. Three days later his body was removed from the field into a house, Dr. Vollum, having had a narrow escape from pre- mature burial, had adopted the opin- fon “that there {s no certainty of death until the body clearly shows decay.” and refused to have him buried. Several days later the gef- eral showed signs of lite, and in time recovered his health and strength, and, although blind, lived for 14 years tn Washington. In the afternoon of the battle of Chickamauga an Ohio soldier on Snod- grass hill was shot through the body. He was carried to the regimental ‘surgeon and pronounced dead. The writer bad the pleasure of going over that fleld in 1893 with this soldier and IMs handsome young daughter. He was then a member of the Ohio state legislature, and was a robust, healthy man. It seems that the third day after he was shot he became suffictently con- sclous to attract the attention of a sergeant of a Virginia regiment, who poured some water on his wound and gave him some to drink. The next day the Confederates carried him to the doctors at Snodgrass house. ‘After Dr, Vollum was transferred to the retired lst he went abroad, and there met a wealthy Englishman, who pald the expenses of publishing the ‘book Vollum wrote some years later on premature burials. Vollum states that two undertakers tn England told the Englishman and himself “that if what they personally knew was published !t would horrity the world.” He stated that It a per- son died in Germany the law rrguired that {t be at once reported to the nearest physician of the government, who at once takes possession of the body, moves it to a mortuary, placing it in a comfortable bed, where tt 1s under constant observation until de- cay Is shown. The mortuarles are built In cemeteries, and the attend- ‘ants live in them. It ts sald that the last) mortuary built in Muntch cost several hundred thousand dollars. Germany {s not a wealthy nation, ‘and that such a fragal nation should spend. thousands of dollars every year to prevent anyone being buried alive ‘shows that they consider the precau- ‘tion necessary. Their doctors say the ‘shock to the solar plexus caused by a gunshot wonnd, a fall, a blow from ‘a fist or club, or a tired and hungty person drinking a quantity of {ce-cold water or beer, may cause apparent death that may last for days until the system recovers from the shock and revives, and the person'lives. The same may also occur from weakness caused by illness, especially during epidemics. ‘They seem to think that Amertean customs are rather brutal. To bury within two or three days does not give the body tlme to recover, and al- lowing all our undertakers at once to Inject ten cents’ worth of embalming fluld Into the body kills all chances of {ts ever reviving, It would look as if Americans were anxious to get rid of their parents and grandparents, for, of course, middlg-aged and old people are much more Ilable than young peo- ple to a state of suspended aplma- ‘ton.

Pope 4 AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS More than 5,000 persons crowded the Twelfth Regiment armory at New York some few nights ago, where the emancipation celebration is being held. The meeting was the occasion of the lawyers' congress, held under the auspices of the emancipation committee. On the stage were seated colored men, a lawman and Delaware Pennsylvanian and Delaware together with others prominent in business and professional life. The speakers of the evening were Edward H. Morris of Chicago, S. O. T. Watkins of Chicago and City Councilman Harry S. Cummings of Baltimore. The congress was presided over by James D. Carr, a colored attorney of this city, who has for ten years been connected with the corporation counsel. Carr is a Baltimore man by birth. Councilman Cummings said in port: "Coming as I do from dear old Maryland, the birthplace of so many distinguished representatives of our race, the birthplace of our matchless leader, Frederick Douglass, of Henry Highland Garnet, who labored so long and successfully in this city; of Benjamin Benedeker, of Bishops Handy and Wayman, of Frances Ellen Harner, that I am not many others, I am proud to have the honor of participating in those exercises in celebration of the 50 years of achievements of our race, and proud to know that so many men and women who first saw the light of day on Maryland soil helped largely to bring these great things to pass. "I am asked to speak to you on "The Signs of the Times." No words of mine can speak more powerfully or convincingly of the progress of our race during the past half century than I can, and not for us to say that we have reduced our utterance unless we can prove it. "We will rightfully fall to prove that we have made remarkable steps from poverty by mere words. Bank accounts and property of various kinds speak louder than words. Happily we have in the last 50 years demon-strated our ability to race races and people have and along the same lines, and the fact that we have shown capacity is a most hopeful sign. But all with that we have done, marvelous though it has been; with the glorious record of the past, enlightened it as to it is us all—well might we please it as well—what "What of the night? What are the signs of promise? To me the prospect is bright." "Cooperation" was the big theme at a meeting of all the colored teachers in the public schools, held at the M Street high school, at Washington, D. C. Henry P. Blair, president of the board of education; Dr. William M. Davidson, superintendent of schools; Capt. James F. Oyster, former president of the board; R. C. Bruce, assistant superintendent in charge of colored schools; Mrs. Caroline W. Harris, Dr. Charles H. Marshall and Dr. Creed W. Childs, all members of the board, were speakers. Dr. Davidson said that in the fundamental principles of education all educators were agreed and that their application was only in the application of the details. He declared that no "esprit de corps" existed which was quite so fine as that among teachers. This, he said, was due to the responsibilities which they shared. The liquor manufactured in Malaga, Spain, called ojen, and which has begun to meet with some favor in the United States under that name, is really a sweet anisette, colorless, and containing 38 to 40 per cent. of alcohol. The ordinary anisette—the Spanish national drink, aguajardiente—is dry, ojen being exactly the same liquor sweetened. In the wine region of Spain the method of treading the grapes is everywhere about the same. The grapes are well spread out in the press and barefooted men or men wearing sandals or wooden-soled shoes tread them. President Wilson received by express a few days ago a fine fat opossum. "I am an old slave-darkey," wrote Joe Farrow of McFarland, N. C., the sender. "I heard that some one sweet potato the other day. Here is a 'possum to go with it.'"

He assured the teachers that the policy of the board in affording equal facilities for white and colored children would be continued. Captain Oyster spoke of his "continuation of the schools, and reminded the teachers and students that they would always find him ever ready to serve them. Mr. Bruce explained that the University of Chicago has allowed an advanced standing to graduates of Normal School No. 2, and added that the officials of Howard university had a similar plan under consideration. With these additional opportunities Mr. Bruce said he hoped more teachers would take the opportunity of furthering their education. Mr. Harris emphasized the need of teachers to learn in themselves the things which they taught. She said they should always strive to set a good example. Dr. Marshall complimented the teachers on the progress which he, says, has been made in the colored schools, and spoke of the spirit of cooperation existing. Dr. Childs emphasized the need for proper discipline and respect for authority. He also discussed the vocational schools and the department of business practice in the colored schools. An exhibition, or more properly, exposition, managed wholly by Negroes, was held in the Twelfth Regiment army at New York, in celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation of the Negro race and the programs made by the race since emancipation. Hundreds of wealthy Negroes and whites all over the United States contributed financially toward the exposition. The legislature of New York state appropriated $25,000 for the project, but that was not nearly sufficient. The difference was made up by those interested in the welfare of the Negro race. One wealthy Negro, owner of thirteen plantations in the south, and said to be worth close to a million dollars, gave a large sum. Delegations were present from Santo Domingo, Haiti and Liberia, the Negro Hayt's delegation received especial attention from the American Negroes because of the fact that Hayt's first president was a Negro slave. The exposition lasted four days. A series of pagements showing the progress of the race was held. The first of these showed the Negroes in Africa a thousand years ago, teaching other natives of that country, not Negroes, how to weld iron. The second pageant showed Negroes in the Valley of the Nile and their allies, with the third pageant was entitled "The Rise of Ambition," and showed the race under Mohammedman rule. Then followed the slave trade in Africa and the bringing of slaves to America. Struggles of the race in the south were shown, and then the fight for freedom that followed, Frederick Douglass working with other Negroes, and white men like John Brown and William Lloyd Garrison. The final tableau showed "The Hope and Encouragement for the Future of the Negroes Race." _____ French scientists say dogs spread consumption. Seventy million dollars have been expended by the reclamation service since the passing of the reclamation act in 1902, and $48,000,000 is available for use in the next four years, every cent of which will in time be returned to the treasury, according to the last report of the secretary of the National all irrigation congress.

SPORTS WRESTLING Mike Yokel of Salt Lake regained the world's middleweight championship title, which he lost to Chris Jordan of Cleveland last summer, when he won two straight falls from the eastern wrestler. Yokel won the first fat loss from Jordan in 3 hours 36 minutes and the second in a minute and a half. Golf, it is said, caused the cracking of the Red Sox this season. Speaker, Lewis, Hooper and Wood are devices of the game described by the late Dan Daly as "hitting the ball and then trying to find it." Louis Teller, one of the best known professional golfers in France, who made a good showing in the recent national championship in the United States, has accepted a position as a salaried golfer at the Canoe Brook Country club. William Reid, the English professional, also is reported in going to be a candidate to fill a national position at the Baltusrol Golf club. FOOTBALL Washington and Jefferson has one of the heaviest teams in its history this year. Harry Kersburg, the former Harvard guard, has developed a strong and well-drilled team at Holy Cross this year. John Cates, the old Yale end and track captain, is helping the coaches develop the Johns Hopkins university squad at Baltimore. Princeton began playing football in 1869, Yale in 1872, Harvard in 1874, Pennsylvania in 1876, Dartmouth in 1882 and Cornell in 1887. Harvard's regular team averages about 182 pounds on the line and 174 pounds in the back field, a general average of about 179 pounds. Dartmouth has uncovered a young halfback, Tuck, who may leap into fame. He is regarded as one of the best kickers of the present season. Ralph Capron, former University of Minnesota football star, who also appeared in professional baseball, has quit athletics to engage in the real estate business in Minneapolis. Knowles, the Yale kicker and half back, runs with the ball very much as Mahan does. Him and Pumply in the back field, Yale's attack soon should amount to something. Chicago football enthusiasts will do well to root for the Maroons this season, as it is practically a local aggregation. Seven of the eleven reguaries are graduates of Chicago preparatory schools. As the result of injuries suffered in a football game, Hal Warner, twelve years old, a public school student at the University of Minnesota, tackled, fell on the ball and his physician says his heart was affected by the fall. Bullet Ambrose, one of the most promising of the Dartmouth backs, has developed a sprinter's breakdown, which may be traced back to overindulgence in track athletics last spring, the pulling of a tendon in the middle of the thigh. Rupert Mills, the Newark man who halls from Barringer high school is starring on the track, even when him up in the west. Mills is a pitcher of note and is reputed to have been signed up for next season by Hughle Jennings.

Yost has shifted Pontius from end and tackle to fullback, apparently the weakest spot of the Michigan offense this year. Major league contracts next season will include a clause by which the player promises not to write for papers. But what of the contracts that have not expired? * Bush and Bender aren't the only two pitchers on a big league team who hall from the same city.

It has taken 38 years to bring the two-year-old harness record from 2:40 to 2:05. And Peter Vole has been going some to beat that mark. May Mack, that was a grand circuit failure, but took a record of 9:08% in California, won three races and $9,600 in seven days, which shows that she is a pretty fair sort. By winning the Kentucky Futurity, Eitah, the blind and lame son of All Stamley-Allison Jr., became the biggest winner in the last 15 years and of all time with the exception of Reuzetta.

An international tour-of-war between London and Stockholm policemen took place at Stockholm recently before 20,000 people. The London team won. Mike Doriz, the Greek athlete, has returned to Penn and is eligible for all sports. He will add great strength to the Quaker weight throwers and to the wrestling team. The English Kennel club show to be opened at the Crystal Palace, London, under the presidency of the duke of Connaught, will distribute prizes amounting to $3,600. University of California's call for Rugby football candidates attracted a record number of candidates, turing 255. Among them are 129 freshmen and 126 varsity players. It is probable that Dr. E. Lasker, world's chess champion, and A. K Rubinstein, Russian champion, will be soon matched to play for the title, as they recently posted forfeits. Indicative of the new spirit of "Win for Yale" revived at New Haven this fall, the Blue has decided to enter a five in the Intercollegiate Basketball league from which it withdrew last fall. --- Severalprominent athletic clubs in various cities are "making eyes" at Nick Glankopolous, the clever Greek runner, who has been attached for some time.

FRENCH OMELET VERY GOOD Bightly Different From the Usual Combination. Excellent Breakfast Dish Use more yolks than whites of eggs, to insure the proper tenderness. The pan should be small and thin, to secure a thick omelet and quick cooking. For a small omelet, take two whole eggs and the yolks of two more; beat with a spoon until a full spoonful can be taken up, add three tablespoonfuls of water, one-fourth a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper, and when well mixed turn into a hot omelet pan in which a tablespoonful of butter has been molted. Move to a hot part of the range for a few seconds, then with a thin knife or spatula separate the cooked portion from the butter. Shake the pan back and forth in such a manner that the cooked portion may mangle on the pan and leave space for the uncooked egg to run down the hot surface of the pan. When cooked to a creamy consistency throughout begin at the side of the pan next the handle and roll the omelet over and then upon a hot plate. Serve at once. FOR CHAFING DISH SUPPER Those Fond of Cheese WILL Find This Meal Exactly Built to them. Into a chafing dish put half a cup of milk—add to this half an onion chopped fine—a red and a green pepper seeded and cut in small pieces, a large juicy tomato, skinned and cut in small pieces, together with a teaspoonful of salt and three lumps of oil; boil both slowly for ten minutes. Add to this the cheese and when it is thoroughly melted pour in a well beaten egg—beating all the time until the mixture is smooth. Have ready sufficient toast beautifully browned and serve a large spoonful on each square of toast. Five people can be served with this quinqueflower makes an appetizing supper dish, and one who will often be called for by those who care for cheese. Cream of Lima Bean Soup Cook one pint lima beans in slightly salted water until perfectly tender. Press through a coilander, add one quart milk, put through a food chopper one or two onions, as the flavor of onions is desired. Rub together one tablespoon of butter, two tablespoons flour. Add to the mixture, heat, stir constantly until smooth, and add a dash of peppers. Salt to properly season. Serve hot. And a want dinner, heat the beans in cooking and flavor is objectionable, but those that remain light in color when cooked are very palatable. Waffles Two cupfuls sifted flour, two teaspoonfuls baking powder, one-half teaspoonful salt, two tablespoonful butter, three eggs, one and one-half cupful Mixture the dry ingredients and cut in together several times. Cut in the butter as in biscuits. Separate the eggs, beat yolks and mix with milk; add this to the dry ingredients, beat well, then fold in the stiffly beaten whites. the batter would be thick if chick add milk, then cook in hot butter waffle irons. Applesine Pudding. Stew sliced apples until tender. Add two cups of sauce to three cups of milk and about two cups of bread crumbs, broken in coarse pieces. Sweeten with one and one-half cups of white sugar, season with lemon, clamnion or nutmeg, one-half cup of raisins cut in halves, a pinch of salt and a piece of butter the size of a lemon. Serve with ice cream or cold with or without sauce. Whipped cream served with this is delicous. Fish Souffle. Make a cream sauce of one large teaspoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of flour or one cup of milk. Have ready one cup of cold fish (any kind) in small pieces, beaten with butter. After making the sauce add the fish and eggs; if desired add a drop or two of table sauce. Let it cook a minute, let cool and fold in the whites beaten still. Have ramekins or buttered dish ready, place in hot water in a pan and bake. These will be light and delicious. Codfish Salad. Put a piece of white codfish to soak over night. In the morning pour off the water, put on fresh cold water and let come to a scald. Try, and if still salt, repeat, as it wants to be tender and soft like fresh fish. Pick up, in fakes, cut a hard-boiled egg in pieces, and boil it in a pan with a dish with crisp leaves, cover with the mixture and pour salad dressing over it. Round Steak Cooked In Round Steak Cooked in Gravy. Get one round round steak, cut thin. Cut into pieces and place on a stove with a little butter or clean grease. Bacon is good. Do this about nine o'clock for noon dinner. Then cover with water and set back on range, letting it cook until nearly 12 o'clock. Turn once between and turn over meat. Thicken the gravy and turn over meat. Add more water as it cooks. Chicken Pie. Parbell the chicken one hour. Add to the water salt, pepper and a cupful of milk thickened with two tablespoonful flour. Line a deep dish with a very nice paste, put in the chicken (cut up), add gravity. Cover with paste immediately. Make a small hole in center of ple and ornament with cross strips of paste. Bake 45 minutes. Tomato Oystera. Silice green tomatoes and take out the seeds. Lay in salted water for 20 minutes; then take out and drain. Dip each piece in beaten egg, seasoned with salt and pepper, and roll in flour or fine bread crumbs. Fry a nice piece of bread and serve with creamed fat. Serve with a dish of creamed macaroni or curried rice. SOON TO WED PRINCE Youthful Grand Duchess of Luxemburg Engaged. Ruler of European Toy Kingdom Said to Be of Independent Character, and Her Subjects Are Very Proud of Her. The Europeans' youngest and probably poetic ruler is to marry Prince Henry of Bavaria. She is a girl of eighteen, and is grand duchess of Luxemburg, one of Europe's toy countries, which lusted away between France, Germany, Holland and Belgium. It is as independent as Britain, except that it shall never take sides in a war. Her subjects number fewer than one-quarter of a million, and her country has the easily remembered area of 999 square miles—about thirty long by thirty broad. It talks a weird language of its own—partly French, partly German, and hardly hundreds of like the English. The grand duchess is a strong friend of France. The chief attraction for tourists about her capital, which is surrounded by cliffs and is nearly as strong as Gibraltar, is that all the church bells before striking the hour, play gay little snatches from opera and musical comedy, ending always in a local chorus: "We mean to be just what we are. We never will be German." The youthful grand duchess has been a "surprise packet" for her country, and for the big countries round her, who naturally believed that young a girl would be open to pressure. She has a lot of time waiting to the throne, at the mature age of eighteen, she fatly refused her consent to a bill that had passed parliament and the council of state, and had even been approved and signed by her mother, who for some years had been ruling the country as regent. She is very proud of her country and its independence, and runs it with a ceremonious state that would not disgrace a country ten times its size. She once said, at a time when Germany was hissing at the advantages of German friendship: "Our friend Wilhelm does not seem to realize that brains may be cultivated without muttaches." Or so the proud Luxemburgels repeat. She is the oldest of seven girls, and has been known to tell, with a smile, a story of her youngest sister's birth. A hundred and one guns were fired at the birth of a princess, twenty-three for a princess. Luxemburg was anxiously hoping for a boy after the long reign of girls. The cannon stopped. By some mistake the salutes stopped at twenty. A little boy holding his father's hand looked up at him in deep, with the sad remark: "Not even a girl this time dad!"—Pearson's Weekly. "Mulea Is Mulea" Too A "Pigs is Pigs" sort of story comes from Maryville, the hero in this case also being a mule. The mule was shipped from Lincoln, Neb., to a man in York county over the Burlington, shipping charges collect, to a man who had bought it sight unseen. When he did see it he refused to either pay the charges or accept the mule. Finally the railroad shipped the mule back to Lincoln, where its original owner refused to take it back. The purchaser has sued the Lincoln man, and it is said that however the case goes, the court will be appealed to the appraiser court, which is already two years behind in its docket. In·the meantime the mule is being boarded in Omaha and the Burlington has had to guarantee the feed bill. The railroad is willing for the mule to die.—Maryville (Mo.) Tribune. He Knew Better. "Generally run down?" asked the man in the drug store. "Want a tonic? I've the very thing for you—Briscoe's Beatall. Three times a day, and in two days you'll feel like another man. Pitty cents a bottle." No, "said the customer, energetically. "But it is the very thing for you. All the doctors are recommending it. We can't get it fast enough for our customers." "I believe you, but I would prefer something else." "Nonsense! I tell you the Beatall we do more good in one day than anything in a month. It matters. What's your objection?" "Only that I'm Briscoe."—Pittsburgh Telegraph. Late. Guess. During a case of severe illness, the wife of the slick man asked a neighbor to go over to the next farm, and buy ten cents' worth of onions to make poultices. When the caller asked for onions, the farmer looked perplexed, and declared that he had no onions, never did have any, and did not even know what an onion was! The neighbor remarked that he was almost certain that he had seen onions in the garden. "No, you are mistaken, stranger," the farmer answered. "I got perters, termaters, redishes, green punkins, but no onions," the man had gone onionless away, the man turned to his wife, and said: "Hettle, I wonder if that man didn't mean inyins?"—Youth's Companion. Tled Boot Too Tight. Tying his boot too tight caused a farmer, named Lyons, death at Ashgrove, near Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, recently. The man was tying his boot in the yard of his house prepara- tion, and he burst in the leg, and although efforts were made to stop the flow of blood, death ensured in half an hour. Quite So. The man who never laughs at him has misse many a chance for a good friend. Adolph Beldemann was a blend of ardor and of vacillation. His romantic nose was under chaperonage of a chilly eye, and thin lips half throttled his most passionate explosions. In him the romance and the scientific caution of the Teuton were harnessed abreast. The progress of a tandem team would have been swiffer, but the double harness had been an inheritance, and he continued to spy. Romance was constantly discovering for Adolph an affinity, but caution and a study of the newspapers forbade his announcing the discovery to the affinity herself. In consequence he invariably lost her, but the loss was without notoriety. At the age of twenty-eight, after regretfully sidestepping a round dozen of them, the largest and finest soulmate awam into view. Romance began kicking over the traces, and caution showed symptoms of spavin. In this unhappy crisis Adolph was forced to take counsel with himself, having forfeited twelve friends by his previous confidence. The red hat was that the latest planet encased the head of his friend. Immediately romance went peacefully to sleep with his nose in the feed bag, while caution, miraculously cured of the spavin, exhibited distressing liveliness. A visit to the doctor resulted. The great man refused to commit himself without making a blood test. "What will that show?" demanded Adolph, enormously. The oracle joined the tips of his fingers, looked over his spectacles and answered, "Everything." It was tremendously impressive. "Everything?" quavered Adolph. "A Jove-like nod responded. "Not only is the precise physical condition revealed by the blood test, but it classifies fowls, beasts and reptiles; discovers unsuspected family groups; detects affinities—" "Affinities!" Adolph leaped to his feet. "My trouble precisely, sir! If I could only be sure! My entire dearrangement hangs upon a question of affinity. I'll drain my veins to have the matter decided!" "Don't excite yourself so," commanded the great man soothily. "It requires a drop only—only a drop! To the ignorant my method may be incomprehensible, but I have it a life study. All proof to me may be relied upon a simplicity of A B C." Adolph's silence craved further enlightenment. "Blood, my dear sir, is the one unimpeachable witness. Leave me some of yours—furnish me some of the young ladys—you shall know the truth in two days!" On the second day Adolph sat nervously awaiting the verdict. It had been a delicate matter to tell his lady love that he thirsted for her gore; but after his halting explanation she had spared him a drop or two from the third finger tip of the left hand Adolph had chosen that in preference to behind the ear. Should she not prove his affinity he desired to be distressed by no recollection of undue intimacy. Cold and trembling, Adolph received his summons to the consulting room. He could not decipher the inscrutable face. "Very interesting tests; very intermittent. Indecently" boomed the physician ponderously. "One specimen reveals 75 per cent. determination, 15 per cent. obstinacy and 10 per cent. extra high-powered corpuscles. The other shows 40 per cent. fever, 20 per cent. vacillation, 5 per cent. fear, some glacial deposits and about 20 per cent. mixed minor corpuscles." Adolph dropped into a chair. Through his fingers came the moan, "And I thought I had found my affinity!" "So you have, so you have," declared the oracle. "Affinities are always opposites. They must do vowel, to so speak. Similarity produces fatal friction." Adolph leaped joyously to the door before he remembered the door before the way, which was mine? he asked while reminding his omission. "The second, of course," said the doctor, genially, adding the bill to his fat wallet. Rather thoughtfully Adolph turned his steps toward his now vowed-for affinity. She listened to his account with indulgent patience. "So now you see, darling," he concluded lukewarmly, "we can neither of us doubt again, and I suppose we had been wrong." "Doubt?" murmured the bride-elect as she drew him to her, "there was no doubt on my part. You didn't think anything that silly old doctor might say could keep me from marrying you, did you? I should just like to see any one stop me—I should!" Yielding himself to her inexorable embrace, Adolph realized as never before that he was not alone. Cloar Stump Exchange Without a doubt the most novel mart in the world is the Cigar Stump exchange, which is held in the east end of London every Sunday morning. Here the dwellers in the common lodging houses that abound in the locality bring the cigar ends—"unipes" they call them—they have collected during the week and sell them to swarmer, ally-looking men for good goods. What happens to them afterwards no seems to know, but it is generally surmised that they are made up into cheap cigarettes, after being shredded, and probably mixed with other tobacco or tobacco dust. Bolles of Wagner Stoler Relics of Wagner, the great composer, were stolen from the family home, Villa Wahnfried, at Bayreuth, Germany, on a recent night. The most valuable of the relics were taken, in 1890, by composer's watch, set with diamonds. Why It Failed. Visitor…"Why did your little paper fall?"
