"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN." The Pioneer ESTABLISHED 1882. BY W. G. THE AUCTION—A PATHETIC SCENE There was an auction of slaves at Huntsville. Many bidders were present. David Jennings, a stalwart Negro of 26, was put on the block. Nearby was a yellow girl weeping. She had been Jenkins' wife less than a week. The sale meant separation, as she belonged to a master"who did not care to sell her. The owner of Jenkins was loath to sell him, but was forced to do so by circumstances. The bidding on Jenkins started briskly. He was ticketed for the South, the dreaded place for Missouri slaves. Before he was knocked off, however, another stalwart Negro stepped to the auctioneer and whispered something to him. The auctioneer started. "What the blazes, Zim, do you want to do that," said he. "Cause I loves her, too," replied the Negro. The auctioneer then motioned to Jenkins to get off the block, and placed Zim on as a substitute. The keeneyed bidders were satisfied with the change. Zim was sold and added to the chain gang for the South. Nobody laid any laurel wreaths on his kinky head. No poet wrote any verses about his noble act. There was not even a cheer, but when Zim marched down the village street with the gang going to an alien land, he looked across to where a pretty yellow girl stood at the kitchen door of a certain house and fluttered a handkerchief, and he saw that she was crying. And he knew those tears were for him. THAT SETTLED HIM Senator J. E. Ransdell, of Louisiana, like many others, taught school when a young man. In the small town where he taught there was the usual collection of red headed and bullet headed youngsters, to be whaled into the principles of reading, 'riting and rithmetic. Ransdell got on well with all his pupils except the town bully, a hulking lout whose main employment was "shooting off his mouth" about his powers. Ransdell being apparently of a gentle disposition, the bully got the idea that the teacher was a soft mark, and made his boast how he would do him. But when school began the boasting bully, to the wonderment of everyone, came in as still as a mouse and continued so all the week Ransdell met a friend in the street and spoke wonderingly of the bully's behavior. "I can tell you," said his friend, the reason; 'the bully is just scared to death. I saw him Saturday, and told him that your grandfather had killed two men your father five, and that you were now toting every day to school the very pistol with which you had personally sent seven men up the golden stairs." 13. "There's luck in odd numbers" said Rosy O'More. On May 13th this year, Mr. and Mrs. H. Stone of Hachensack, N. J. were blessed with the birth of their 13th child, making a combination of three 13ths—the 13th child, the 13th day of the month, and the year 1913. This surely suggests triple good luck. HIGH FINANCE "Brown is coming over to borrow ten dollars from you." "Thanks. I won't let him have it." "Well, you see he wants to pay it to me." THE RICH MAN'S OBLIGATION Adolphus Busch died a few days ago, leaving an estate estimated at $50,000,000. Of this estate he made charitable bequests amounting to $210,000, or a little less than one half of one per cent. Mr. Busch may have been a very charitable man during his life, but the fact goes out to the world that the bulk of his enormous fortune is transmitted by him to his immediate relatives, without recognition in any way of his trusteeship for the general public. The great fortunes which have been accumulated to the United States and in other countries have not been due in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred to the transcendent ability or especial services of the men who gained them. By good luck, by happy combinations of circumstances of which they were able to take advantage, they were placed in the currents of great movements and profited by them. Andrew Carnegie became many times a millionaire simply because he occupied a post of advantage at a critical moment in the iron and steel industry. John D. Rockefeller's millions have been piled up more by the development of the country at large than by his own resourcefulness. The hundreds of millions of the Astors and Vanderbilts have been made by the industry of the people of New York City. The rich man who does not recognize that after all he holds his wealth merely by the consent of the majority of the people, who have the power to take it away from him any time they choose, is dangerously ignorant. As a matter of fact, these swollen fortunes are accidents which we ought to take some legislative steps to correct. Not in a spirit of anarchy or of socialism, but simply as a matter of public policy, because accumulations handed down from generation to generation and constantly gathering in size and power, are a danger to the State. Every rich man who fails to recognize in a generous manner the debt he owes to the public contributes by that much to add to the feeling of unrest, and to the growth of radical ideas which in the end may prove dangerous to him and to his children.—Wheeling Intelligencer. Run Over by Blind Steer. Nashville, Tenn.—"Uncle Billy" Hunter, mate on the steamboat Henry Harley and one of the oldest men in active service on the Cumberland river, met with a serious accident. Some cattle were being loaded at Cedar Bluff, and there was a blind steer in the lot. Not knowing that the steer was blind, Mr. Hunter stood in front of the gate to the cattle pen when it was opened, and the blind animal ran over and trampled on him, bruising and injuring him badly. PEGOUD MAY TRY AN OCEAN FLIGHT PEGOUD MAY TRY AN OCEAN FLIGHT WANTS GOOD NAVAL PATROL Frenchman Who Has Amazed World by His Daring Is Modest Young Fellow—"Some Day You Will Die," His Retort to Suggestion of Peril—Wants to Be First to Fly Across Ocean. Paris.—Adolphe Pegoud, the topsy-turvy aviator, intends, if he manages to keep alive, to give exhibitions of upside down flying in New York at the conclusion of his present tour. Before going to Vienna M. Pegoud gave an interview in which he not only stated his purpose of going to America, but also expressed his willingness to attempt a flight across the Atlantic, provided a proper naval patrol was guaranteed. M. Pegoud is small and dapper, with brilliant eyes, scintillating good humor. He cultivates a dark mustache, a la kaiser. He is a great joker, even on the subject of his own thrilling performances. While he cannot be called a man without nerves, he undoubtedly does not know the meaning of danger. His attitude concerning his upside-down feats is not stagey, nor that of an acrobat seeking adulation. He said at the beginning of the interview: "I am very proud to be the first man to accomplish this feat, but other men can do it as easily as I. After I get the idea I worked out the possibilities on paper and studied the entire problem thoroughly. I kept at Bleriot to allow me to attempt it merely to prove the possibility of the safety of his make of aeroplane. "You ask whether I would attempt a transatlantic flight. I have not studied the question sufficiently to make a complete answer concerning the possibility of success, but I think that such a A. S. K. flight will be accomplished in the near future. Certainly it will be the greatest feat in aviation. I hope to be among the first to attempt it, even though I do not succeed. "Persons talk about the foolhardiness of my upside down flights. If I thought them foolhardy I would not do them. That is why I say I would attempt a transatlantic flight now only with a guarantee of proper naval patrol, because I am sane enough to desire to try it again if I fail the first time. "From a superficial study of the situation I believe that the flight might now be attempted across the shortest route, from the west coast of Ireland to Newfoundland. "A waterplane of sufficient size, an extragordinarily powerful motor and Press. INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED H NOVEMBER 8, 1913. wireless equipment could today negotiate a large part of the trip without descending for gasoline. Given fair weather the craft could rest on the waves until help arrived. With the wireless it could keep its whereabouts known. It would be necessary to fly much faster than the fastest petrol boats. "As transatlantic liners would probably be expensive and impracticable, I believe that torpedo boats and destroyers would be the best craft obtainable. If any government wished to test the possibility sufficiently to have a convoy of such craft, starting a couple of days before the flight and spreading themselves across the ocean, I think it would not be long before the greatest prize of the air would be won." DOG STUNG. AUTOIST SHOT. Hunter Thought New Yorker's Car His Animal When It Yelped. South Norwalk, Conn.—Leon Hitchcock of New York city was shot in the hand by Lew Barrett, a hunter of Cannons, near here, who believed Hitchcock's auto had killed his hunting dog. When Hitchcock's machine whisked by and the dog yelped from the sting of a bee the hunter fired point blank and the charge struck Hitchcock in the band, badly lacering it. Barrett was arrested. MERCHANT ADMITS THAT HE IS A THIEF Says His "Work" Is So Easy It Is Laughable. San Francisco.—For five years William Basain has been accepted by local business men as a responsible citizen, with a profitable wholesale jewelry business. His property investments have been numerous and large, thousands of dollars have been sent by him to support his mother in Germany, and his young sister has had the best educational and social advantages. He lies now in the city prison a confessed robber, with a record covering many years, captured by a pet bull pup who pinned him in a corner as he stole through a back yard in the night. "My work has been so easy it has been laughable." Bastain told the detectives when he finally broke down. "I have never been disturbed while at work. The people I did business with believed me to be what I represented myself absolutely. Jewelers bought my diamonds, and the mint took my melted gold without question. "I have always been a natural thief, and I have found it easy to steal things, but I am averse to killing or injuring. I had never been in a position where I had to shoot until Friday night. My reluctance to use my revolver caused my capture." Bastain was making his way across the yard of the home of Ulrich Debrunner when Miss Jennie Debrunner's dog discovered him. The uproar brought the girl to the scene, and while the dog held the man she summoned the police. Among the numerous burglaries to which Bastain is said to have confessed was the looting of the home of 8. N. Wood, a wealthy merchant, of $5,000 in jewelry last December. CANCEL TRIP FOR POODLE Women Grow Angry When Men Classify Dog as Baggage. Kansas City, Mo.—A 3,000 mile trip and a winter's stay in southern California were given up by Mrs. J. C. Wilkshire and her daughter when they were told that Rags, a fat, much petted poodle, twelve years old, would have to ride in the baggage car. Mrs. Wilkshire argued and pleaded in vain and ended the scene by turning her tickets back to the company and canceling her orders for accommodations. Pay your subscription Y GAIN."

New York. - A national committee has been formed to help the work of Bishop Charles H. Brent among the savages in the Philippines. Bishop Brent, who attended the Episcopal convention, returned to the Philippine Islands to continue his work among th Moro tribes. He is a great believer in the possibilities for Christian work among these little brown people, who subsist on caneets and corn, wear no garments and make their homes in tree tops. His friends in this country have just organized a national committee for upbuilding the wars of the nation. This ```markdown ``` BISHOP CHARLES H. ERENT. committee is working under the auspices of the Harmony Club of America, which has a membership of several thousand men and women throughout the United States who are interested in uplift work. Bishop Brent has been in the Philippines since 1901 and has devoted his life to this work in the islands. He has already accomplished great good among these wards of the United States. For instance, in one section families who were dwelling in tree tops two years ago now have comfortable homes in decent villages and are cutting their grass with American lawn mowers. The telephone, telegraph, sewing machine, automobile, railroad, farming tools and other modern inventions are increasingly welcomed and used by the natives, who are not devoid of intellectual capacity and have considerable manual dexterity. The plans of Bishop Brent take in the social, industrial, educational and evangelical work among the million or more pagan and Moro inhabitants. He hopes to cure them of their chronic ills, such as malaria, hookworm, black fever and the like and teach them, how to live so as to avoid the tropical diseases, most of which are due not to the climate, but to unhealthy habits.

Miss Wilson and Mr. Sayre Want Simple Ceremony. Washington. - It is expected that about 800 persons will be present to witness the wedding of Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of President and Mrs. Wilson, to Francis S. Sayre on Nov. 25. The president and Mrs. Wilson believe that the wedding should be modest, as that of a girl should be who always has taken more interest in home THE WEDDING OF MARY AND JOHN affairs than in society, and yet the official position of the family demands some orientation. Close friends of the family say that a happy medium has been reached. Those who will be invited, they say, will be the families of the members of the cabinet, the assistant secretaries in the various departments, the leaders in congress, the heads of embassies and personal friends of the family. Miss Wilson in addition to arranging the details of her wedding is directing the furnishing and decoration of her future home in Williamstown. Mass., where they will live after January, when Mr. Sayre will sever his connection with the office of District Attorney Whitman in New York and take up his new duties as assistant to Harry A. Garfield, president of Williams college. Mr. Sayre has leased the cottage of Professor William E. McElfresh in one of the best residential sections of Williamstown. It is new and has all the modern improvements. NEW VESSELS FOR CANAL. Captain Announces Line Between Pacific Coast and Norway. Tacoma, Wash.-Captain Otto Sverdrup, companion of Captain Amundsen in arctic and antarctic exploration, has announced here that the Norwegian Steamship company, in which he is interested, will operate four steamships through the Panama canal to Pacific coast ports, bringing paper pulp and carrying back salmon, fruit and lumber. Captain Sverdrup will join Captain Amundsen at Colon to accompany the Fram through the Panama canal late in November. A Boston firm announces that it will operate eight steamships to the Pacific coast by way of the canal, using the name Bosten-Pacific line. INSECT LOVER A GREAT CHARACTER Has Devoted Fifty Years to Study of Little Beings. ALSO A CHARMING WRITER Jean Henri Fabre is Known as Discoverer of New World—Books Arouse Interest Among Famous Men—For Sako of Science He Endured Many Miseries—Will Have a Monument Paris.—Jean Henri Fabre has been called the Homer of the insect world. For fifty years he has studied insects and their ways more closely and continuously perhaps than any other man. Add to this the fact that he is a poet as well as a man of science, that he writes with peculiar charm, and it will be understood why his books about insects have aroused the enthusiasm of such men as Maurice Maeterlinck and Frederic Mistral. They refer to him as the discoverer of a new world. He has been compared to La Fontaine, whose fables give evidence of his love for beasts. Their writings show the same freshness, simplicity and charm. Darwin was struck by the patience and ingenuity exhibited by M. Fabre in penetrating the secrets of insects, and in the "Origin of Species" he refers to him as an inimitable observer. An English translation of M. Fabre's book "The Life of a Spider" has lately been published. He was born in the south of France, was the son of poor parents, and his whole life has been one of uninterrupted labor. As a lad he taught himself to read at night by the light of a blazing pine knot. In school he paid his tuition fees by serving as a chair boy. He won a scholarship at the normal school at Avignon and became a teacher, finally rising to the grade of professor. It was while he was attached to the lycee at Avignon that he came across the entomological works of Leon Dufour, and thereafter the course of his life was changed. He saw how incomplete was the state of the science of entomology, and what he saw opened to him a magnificent field of study. Thereafter as soon as he was able he gave up teaching, devoted himself to the study of insects and endured many miseries for the sake of science. He went to live in a cottage with rose tinted walls and green blinds at the little village of Serignan, on the road from Orange to Valreas. For years the neighboring peasants knew little of him. Then one day they learned that a great scholar was dwelling among them, and now he is the glory of the village. He has used incredible patience and ingenuity, guided by sympathy, in studying Insects. Observation and study in the laboratory did not tell him what he wanted to know. It was necessary for him to watch the free insects in their natural environment. What he saw he described sympathetically, poetically, vividly. His writings interest the general reader as much as the entomologist. He described with equal care the industry of the bee and the wickedness of the preying mants, that fierce insect which devours its wives and charms its victims with what the entomologists call its spectral nose. Maeterlinck wrote of him: "He devoted to the task of surprising their little secrets, which are the counterpart of the greatest mysteries, fifty years of an existence solitary, misunderstood; poor, often approaching want, but illuminated each day by the joy which is brought by a truth, which is the human joy above all others. Little truths, you will say, those which are offered to us by the ways of a spider or a cricket. There are no little truths. There exists but one, of which the mirror to our uncertain eyes seems broken, but each fragment of it, whether it reflects the evolution of a star or the flight of a bee, contains the supreme law." M. Fabre is now ninety. Honors have come to him. His fame is widespread. He is no longer able to pursue his studies. He sits day after day smoking his pipe in the dining room of his cottage. Not long ago Frederic Mistral, the famous octogenarian poet of Provence, made an appeal in his behalf on the ground that he was in a lamentable condition of undeserved poverty. This M. Fabre denied. The French government granted the aged entomologist a literary pension of $300 a year. Later still the Academy of Sciences of France awarded him a prize of the value of 4,000 francs. A minister of state has paid an official visit to him and it is proposed to erect a statue in his honor at Avignon. WALKS 360 MILES TO "PEN." Is Finally Admitted to Five Year Term After Court Error.

London.—An invention which, when fully developed, presumes to reform war has been given a successful test of Portsmouth. Although the admirably has attempted to keep the matter a secret, it is now definitely known that a mine attached to the bottom of the British cruiser Terpslehore was exploded at a distance of about miles by wireless impulse. Some weeks ago the Terpslehore, a third class cruiser of late ten tons displacement, 300 feet long and forty-three feet beam, was taken into dry dock, where dockyard hands attached a metal box to her bottom. The cruiser was towne to Stokes bay. Her watertight compartments were then closed and all members of the crew left the ship. A few moments later the Terphethore half rose out of the water and a vast uphalveal of water. She or she took a heavy list to port and five dockyard tugs came to her assistance, keeping her afloat with their pumps while they towed the sinking cruiser into Portsmouth.

Animals About as Approachable as Cows In a Pasture—Sportsmen's Carnival Expected—Hunters Must Secure Licenses and Report to Game Warden Every Time a Deer Is Killed. Springfield, Mass.-The state wide open season for deer in the week beginning Nov. 17 will be a notable hunters' carnival. Deer have been rigidly protected in Massachusetts, and the first open season, three years ago, was restricted to the five western counties. In spite of three open seasons deer are now more numerous in the hill towns than at the time of the Revolutionary war, in which period they were unprotected. Farmers' complaints of the depredations of deer were deftly turned to advantage by hunters as an argument for a state wide open season, which will be given a trial this fall. The greater part of the 10,000 or more deer in the state are in the five western counties, but in the open season, when the woods and hills resound with the report of firearms, the frightened animals flee eastward in droves. This year the flight of the deer, unless it be over the borders of another state, will not avail, and it is expected that the slaughter will be much greater than last year, when about 1,000 deer were killed. The law requires that all hunters shall be licensed and that a report shall be made to the fish and game commission of every deer killed. The penalty is so severe that the provisions are generally observed. Notwithstanding that deer in parts of Massachusetts are almost as approachable as cows in a pasture, and in many towns by the exercise of a little patience they can be prevailed upon to eat from one's hand, the open season has a fascination for thousands of hunters. In Springfield alone last year more than one thousand hunters' licenses were issued. This year a small army of hunters from Boston and other cities in the eastern part of the state will participate, not to mention New York and Philadelphia hunters, a majority of whom are stock brokers. Game wardens are of the opinion that there will be a hunter for nearly every deer, and that when the 1014 legislature convenes the surplus deer population will be the least of its troubles. The principal restrictions of the open season are that no hunter shall kill more than one deer, that the meat shall not be resold, that there shall be no resort either to traps or salt licks and that no weapon other than a shotgun shall be used. To minimize the danger which attends the presence of so many hunters in the woods a special statute has been passed which prohibits hunt- ing for birds or quadrupeds with rifles pistols or revolvers during the open season for deer. In former years a large number of deer hunters have used rifles, and if detected would insist that they were bird or rabbit hunting and that the deer was killed accidentally. The new law eliminates this excuse. Candor compels the statement that deer hunters are guilty in too many instances of unseemly depredations, and the utter disregard of the rights of others by a comparatively few hunters has led to the posting of thousands of acres of land by indignant farmers Some idea of the increase in the number of deer in Massachusetts may be gained from the damages which the state has been called upon to pay to farmers. As it is unlawful to kill deer except under great provocation, the state has found it necessary to compensate farmers for damage to orchards, gardens and growing crops. In 1903 the state paid $237 to settle deer damage claims. In 1908 the amount had risen to $4,370. Last year Massachusetts farmers collected $16,000 for the depredations of deer.
