WOMEN THROW EGGS AT "WET" WORKERS AT INDIANA POLLS Terre Haute, Ind.—At a recent prohibition election in Sugar Creek township, Vigo county, women stood at the polls and threw eggs at workers among the antis. Donn Roberts, city engineer of Terre Haute, and Frank Kelly, a Terre Haute attorney, were forced to leave the polls by the shower of eggs. As a result of the women's misdirected energy, the licensed saloon won in the election by a majority of 969 out of 1,897 votes. Thompson and Thompson are in reality the hustlers of hustlers in the clothing line and their stock is up to date in style and shades. VOL. 30. Anecdotal Literature Anecdotal Literature A young Parisian lady resolutely discarded a gentleman to whom she was to have been married the next day, because he ridiculed religion. Having given him a gentle reproof for some impropriety, he replied, "that a man of the world would not be so old fashioned to regard God and religion." She was terribly shocked, but soon recovering herself, said, "From this moment, as I discover you do not respect religion, I cease to be yours." An English lady in Rome, being interested in a little boy who was delivering the wares of the pastry cook, said to him when he brought her some cakes. "Ah, my little boy I suppose you get the benefit of these cakes yourself sometimes." "What does Madam mean?" asked the boy; "Why, I suppose you eat a cake now and then." "Eat them? Oh no, madam, that would not be right. I only lick them as I pass along." Teacher—"How does it come that you are too late this morning?" Ethel—Please ma'am, I must have overwashed myself. When F. F. Low was governor of California, there lived and flourished a lobbyist named Nap Broughton, who was equally noted as a wit and a stutterer. Going down the street one day in November, Gov. Low saw Broughton carry home a turkey. "Ah, Nap, you're taking advantage of my Thanksgiving Day Proclamation, and have a good time" was the greeting of the Governor. "By the way," he added, "wasn't that a good proclamation?" "N. o, t-t-too long," said Nap with some effort. "That's funny," said the surprised Governor. Why, I prided myself especially on the brevity of the proclamation, I don't see how I could have made it shorter." "All you n-needed to say was, ppp praise G g god from whom all b b b blessings F F F low. James Whitcomb Riley, the humorist attended a "literary" dinner at Indianapolis, given in honor of a fellow novelist. Among the guests was an excellent lady but not particularly literary. A spirited discussion ensued on the beauties of Chaucer, during which the bewildered lady could gather nothing but the name Chaucer. At last she whispered to Mr. Riley. "Who is this Mr. Chaucer? Is he very popular in society?" "Madam," solemnly answered Riley, "that man did something that forever shuts him out of society." "Mercy!" exclaimed the lady, "what was that?" "He died several hundred years ago," said Riley. INDIANS SUE GOVERNMENT Rallying for a final stand, the full blooded Cherokee Indians are preparing to institute a suit against the United States for $25 000,000, the sum they say is due them for proper rights and money dissipated by the Government and paid to whites and Negroes who were not Cherokee in the last hundred years. The leader of the movement is Mrs. Susan Saunders, of St. Louis, a three quarter blood Cherokee, 66 years old and blind. The majority of the more progressive of the Cherokees take no part, being convinced that the suit will be in vain. The principal claim of the Indians is for land in the Cherokee nation which has been allotted to Negroes known as freedmen and to the whites who have married into the tribe. There are 4,000 Negroes who have been given allotments in the Cherokee nation. When the Cherokees came to Indian Territory from Georgia in 1833, they brought many Negro slaves with them. These they kept, the same as white slave owners, until the close of the Civil War. At the time of the war most of the Cherokees joined the Confederate Army, and when the emancipation of the slaves was declared the Government decreed that the slaves of the Indians should not only be free but should share in all the tribal property of the nation. THE JAP KNEW. At the White House dinner given by President Taft in honor of Admiral Togo former Speaker Cannon and, Congressman Butler of Pennsylvania were seated next to each other, and next to them was a little Japanese naval captain. The conversation between the two congressmen turned on the Haitian situation, which was just at a climax. Both had made voyages in the West Indies. Finally a question arose between them as to whether Haiti and Santo Domingo were separate islands or just what was the connection, Neither Uncle Joe nor Butler knew as a matter of fact. Both know that "first one and then another "nigger" was sent hiking across country as an expresident," but how the two governments were geographically aranged they did not know. "Do you suppose this little Jap will know?" "You bet he'll know. They know everything," replied Butler. And so they asked him. And he did know. He knew that there were two governments on one island, the principal ports and towns and the relations of the people to each other, the interests of the United States and the general effect of stable governments of the West Indies had upon the usefulness of the Panama canal. The Jap naval officer knew a mighty sight more than two distinguished members of the American congress about a subject right at our doors. For cleaning, dying and pressing clothes, Mr. C. E.
