THE RICHMOND PLANET THREE HORRIBLE LYNCHINGS Gov. Mount Active, Will Hunt Down the Guilty Parties. VOL XVIII NO 1 THREE HORRIB Charged w Thousands with bloody Gov. Mount Active, Will Hu BOOENVILLE, Ind., Dec. 17.---John Rolla, the third of the colored men implicated in the murder of Hollie Simons, was hanged to a tree in the courthouse yard by a mob of about 100 men from Rockport this evening. Two of his companions were lynched at Rockport last night for the same crime. Not a shot was fired and everything was conducted as quietly as if the execution had been one under the sanction of the law. Rolla was brought to this place this afternoon about 8 o'clock in charge of Sheriff Anderson, of Rockport. Upon his arrival he was placed in a cell on the second floor of the jail, and his presence was known only to a few citizens. AN APPARENT REFUSAL. A few minutes after 6 o'clock a body of 100 men marched through the princesipal street to the jail and demanded that the prisoner be turned over to it. Deputy Sheriff Rasmond Cherry was in charge of the jail. He declined to give up the keys, and the mob began at once to batter in the wall of the jail with a telegraph pole. Six members of the mob crawled through the hole, and with sledges broke down the door of Rolla's cell, and soon the thoroughly terrified coloured man was in the hands of the men, who pased a rope around his neck. All left, crawling again through the hole by which they had entered, dragging the colored man after them. BODY IN THE AIR. A few minutes were consumed in the march to the courthouse yard, the rope was thrown over a limb of a tree, and a hundred hands sent his body flying into the air. The loose end of the rope was tied to a tree, and as soon as the mob was ane that its work had been completed it left in as orderly a manner as it had entered the town. None of the mob wore masks, and men apparently from every station in life took part in the lynching. Except for the excited group of men standing on the street corners, a stranger would have known nothing of the tragedy that had just been enacted. CLAIMED ME CONFESSED. John Rolls was implicated by Row land, one of the colored men lynched last night at Rockport, but desolated his guilt. He told conflicting stories, and it was learned that he was away from the Verandah Hotel, where he worked about the time Simmons was murdered. Ed. fronted with this evidence, Rolls weakened, and concocted a plan to smuggle that stricken the first blow and that the other two colored men helped him to kill Simmons. TROOPS FIFTEEN MINUTES TOO LATE. The militia from Evanaville arrived at Booneville fifteen minutes too late, and the dead body of Rolla met their gaze as they marched into town. The citizens of Rockport held a meeting to-night and formed an organization for the purpose of maintaining law and order and assisting the officers in the prosecution of criminals. It was also resolved to make an effort to take municipal affairs out of politics. While the lynching was only incidentally discussed, the general sentiment of the community upholds the action of the mob in taking affairs in their own hands. There is no purpose to prosecute any one concerned in the mob. TEOOPS ORDERED OUT Evanville, Ind., Dec. 17th—Orders have just been received from Governor or Mount instructing the officers of the local military company to assemble their men at once and repair as rapidly as possible to Booneville to protect two colored suspects removed to that place from Rockport late to night. This order was issued by the governor upon information received from the Rockport officials saying a mob had started from that point and would march to Booneville with the intention of lynching the two suspects. COLORED PEOPLE INDIGNANT. Advise from Rockport say the colored people are thoroughly aroused and a race war is imminent. They openly threaten that out of revenge for the lynching of the colored men they will burn the town to-night. Guards have been stationed about the town and all of the citizens are heavily armed and watching closely for any sign of an outbreak among the colored people. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 22, 1900. The distance between this city and Booneville and between Rockport and Boonville is about the same, and it is feared the mob will have reached there. The police and will have completed their work by the time the soldiers arrive. PROMPT AC110N BY GOV. MOUNT] Indianapolis, Dec. 17.—Gov. Mount was advised to night by the Sheriff of Spencer County that a mob of 600 had started from Rock't to Booneville with the intention of lynching Joe Rollaid another colored man arrested for complicity in the murder of Hollie Simons Saturday night. He also noified the governor that the local authorities would be powerless to resist the mob, and asked that the military company be sent at once to the scene. A message was at once sent to Adjt. Gen Gore by the governor asking the former to consult with the governor as to the best means of controlling the situation. Before the arrival of the adjutant general, however, Governor Mount instructed Capt. Blum of Company E. located at Evansville, to get his men under arms as expeditiously as possible. A special train was ordered to be in readiness as soon as the Booneville authorities asked for assistance. It was feared, however, that the mob would reach Boonville ahead of the soldiers. State officials were in consultation with the governor for several hours late to eight and he was kept closely advised of the situation. Rockport, Ind., Dec. 16:h—Two colored men, Jim Henderson and Bud Rowlands, who waylaid, brutally murdered and robbed, Hollie Simons, a white barber, early this morning, were lynched in the jail yard by a mob of 1000 frenzied citizens to-night. The men were arrested early, and al though Rowland's clothing had blood stains on it, the men claimed they were innocent o. the crime. In the meantime Sheriff Clemens, of Union County, Ky., arrived with a trained bloodhound in response to a telegraphic summons. When the dog was placed off the trail he followed it until he reached the house where Rowlands live, six blocks from the scene of the murder, and went baying to the bed the colored man had occupied. This was enough for the excited citizen. A BOWLING MOB. Within a few minutes a mob of a thousand howling, blood-thirsty citizens, with sledgehammers, ropes and guns, were running to the jail. Sheriff Anderson and his two deputies made a stand and attempted to protect the prisoners. The officers were seized by the leaders of the mob, who disarmed them. The sheriff was then locked in a room and placed under guard, but he stoutly refused to give up the keys or tell where the prisoners were hidden. Fear made the prisoners the mob made a determin d but unsuccessful at tempt to break in the jail door. By this time the would-be-lycophers were in a perfect freezy and, ensuring a telegraph pole, they used it as a battering ram and caved in the side wall of the jail. DRAGGED FROM JAIL. The door of Rowland's cell was then quickly broken in with sledges and he was dragged from the jail to the east side of the court yard, where a noose was placed around his neck. He was given time to make a statement, in which he implicated Jim Henderson and another colored man. Rowlands then begged piteously for mercy, but the mob swiftly swung the confessed murderer to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. Leaving the body of Rowlands dangling from the fence, the mob rushed to the jail and attempted to burst open the cell occupied by Henderson, but before the steel bars yielded to the blows of the sledges some one in the crowd fired upon the terrified man as he crouched in the corner of his cell. A few moments more and the door of the cell was broken in. AT THE ROPE'S END The colored man more dead than alive was dragged, a rope's end to the court house yard and swung on the tree beside the body of Rowlands. Firing a parting volley at the swinging bodies, the mob, eager for another victim, hurried away to catch the other man implicated by Rowlands, in his pursuit of the man where he was employed as a porter. The colored map escaped to the roof. of the building and manager Debruler succeeded in convincing the mob that the porter had nothing to do with the crime, proving an alibi for him. The mob then dispersed, apparently satisfied with the work of vengeance. The men's victim, Simons, was waaylaid and murdered in the most brutal manner one square from the main street of the city as he was going to his home from his barber shop at 2 o'clock this morning. As was customary with him he carried the receipts of the day at his place of business. THE SCHEME TO ROB HIM. The colored men were aware of this, and evidently laid the plans accordingly. Urochning behind a fence, they awaived their victim, and jumped from their place of concealment and attack him from behind, striking him over the head with a heavy club with a large nail driven into the end of it. Although terribly beaten, Simons made a desperate fight, and his cries and struggles soon attracted two boys, who went to his assistance, but they were a moment too late, the victim of the two men having succumbed to the terrible beating, lying dead at their feet. The murderers then drove the would-be-rescuers away and accomplished their original design--that of robbery--securing a bag containing something over $40 from the pristine form of their victim, and made their escape. TERRIBLY BEATEN. Simone was terribly beaten, his skull crushed in, and his head and face beaten into a pulp. Four gaping wounds showed where the spike on the club had punctured the dead man's skull and penetrated his brain. Walter Evans, one of the young men who attempted to save Simon's life and who afterward assisted in the removing of the dead man's remalts to his home, was greatly effected and almost suffered nervous collapse. After witnessing the lynching he lost his reason. The dead man's widow is prostrated, and it is believed she will die from the shock. Holly Simons came here from Winslow, Ind., three years ago, and was a popular young man. The feeling against the colored people was intensified by reason of the fact that within the past two weeks over a dozen houses have been robbed at Rockport, and Henderson and Rowlands were suspected of being the leaders in these robberies. THE INNOCENT AND THE GUILTY. The mob announced that in the case of all future robberies the guilty persons would be run down and lynched. Many colored people left the city tonight among them Joe Rolla. Those remaining are keeping themselves closely indoors. Eight other colored people were arrested as suspects, and would have been lynched had they not been able to prove alibis. The mob was very determined. There was no demonstration except the firing of about twenty shots in the air to prey on the strong of bystanders from crowding in the hotels and other public places and discussed the lynching making no attempt to conceal their connection with the affair.

CHRISTMAS ODE. [ December, 1900 ] Christmas has come again, let earth Rejoice from shore to shore, With heart's praises for the birth Of Christ whom we adore: If at His birth the angels sang In heaven's sweetest strains, Whose cadence filled the earth and rang Aloud on Judah's plains: How much should we rajeolies for whom He came to live and die, Forego our doubts dispel our gloom, And waft his praise on high! The star which stood d'or Bethlehem, With rays illustrious blaze, Its radiance naught shall ever stem, While earth shall roll her days. Peal forth the organ's grandest notes! With harps and violi sweet, The flute, whose voice-like music floats Oe'plain and wood and street, Ouimbied with human voices, swell The chorus of His name. Whose graceful words, uplifting tell O higher life and wayz. "Glory to God in the highest!" sing, As angels sang of old. All honor to the Christ, our king! His praise, a hundred fold!

Editor Richmond Planet, Sir:—I have the honor to address you as to our present situation in the Philippines. Two battalions of the 25th Infantry, colored, arrived in Manila Bay, July 31st, 1900 disembarked August, 1899. Since our landing in the Island of Luson we have executed some of as hard and effective work as any other regiment in the Philippines, also made some of the important captures of the campaign (as official reports) will show. We have participated in many warm engagements, losing comparatively few men killed or wounded owing to the good management and coolness of our officers, non commissioned officers and men. Wherever we have been stationed on the island we have made friends with the natives and they always express regret when we are ordered from amongst them especially if we have been stationed near them for any length of time. Our officers and men always make it a rule wherever we are stationed to treat the natives with civility and respect. We do considerable trading with the natives, always paying them for what we get-buying such as eggs, chickens, fruits, etc. TREATED WITH CONSIDERATION. We treat them with due consideration, insurgent prisoners as well as peaceable natives; but whenever they snow fight, they are always greeted with a warm reception and they soon learn to their discontent what kind of fighting material, the seemingly peaceable, black fighters of Uncle Sam's regular army are made out of. We have been stationed in Zambales Province longer than in any other one place on the Island. We were the first U. S. soldiers to enter this province where we were met with strong resistance but the Filipinos never once had the nerve to stand their ground when they were charged upon by the ducky fighters. They never have once scored a victory over the 28th Infantry. We had lots of trouble with the Insurgents during our first few months stay in this province and had to recapture many of the towas which we now occupy. MANY TOWNS GARRISONED. As one time we only garrisoned Subig, Botolon, Ybs and Santa Orus; but now we garrison every town between Subig and Santa Orus, a distance of about 90 miles covering all of our territory and I don't think it is any other two battalions covering the same territory on the Island. Before we split our company into detachments and commenced to garrison all towns between our two immediate stations we were frequently attacked by overwhelming forces which were mobilized in the towns unscapped by Americans; but never once did they reapture any town from us now they seem to have unfulished hopes and since we have been garrisoning them with small detachments we have had very little trouble with them. The most trouble we have had lately have been with roaming band of Ladrones (robbers). We haven't a company in any one place along our route except Yba, 25th infantry Headquarters. The towns range from 8 to 10 miles apart, many less. We have not had any trouble with the natives in our territory for several months we have killed, captured and forced to surrender the majority of the leaders in this province. tha that have not been dealt with as above mentioned have sought other fields for operation, as they are disgusted with so many repeated defeats from the 25th. HARD TO MOBILIZE. It is hard for them to mobilize any fighting force in this province or no where on the Ialand can they carry any plans into execution without being inspected by the Americans. The 25th Infantry has been stationed in the town (which we now occupy) long enough to know hombre's (men) belong to certain localities. Each detachment makes 2 or 3 trips per week so in that manner we get acquainted with the country and people. Whenever a strange hombre enters a town he is generally arrested and quiesced. Sometimes he proves to be a former mercur.nt's force; sometimes say and sometimes coming in to surrender. Many insurrections are coming in daily under the Anestey Proclamation issued by Gen. McArthur and if they continue to come in at the rate they have been it won't be long before the insurrection will be a thing of the past. Even now 6 or 8 soldiers can penetrate the most secluded recesses of this Island, w thout fear of molestation. The whole Island is state of great undeath. robber-bandits can greet the trouble. Many of them yet infest the Islands. NATIVE POLICEMEN. All the towns in our province have native polioemen in fact. I guess they are all over the island. They have proven to be of very valuable service to the Americans. They are always on the alert for any straggling Insurgent or Ladrone. The better class of Philippines are sick of the insurrection and are willing to help the Americans to put it down. Some of Aguinelo's leading followers have left him in his hopeless cause. Thi-province is much quieter than great many localities of the United States. According to newspaper reports, it took more troops to quell the riot at New Orleans, La., than it did to put down the insurrection in Zimbales Province. We were jubilant over the prospects of going to China a few weeks ago but owing to our wise Excellency, the President has received peace, which he always does wherever his good and wise judgement is called into play. The 25th woud like to have had China added to her list, but we will be contented with our past accomplishments; but wherever duty calls us we will not be weighed and found wanting. Our courage has won us fame, our moral principles and kindness have won us friends, our good workmanship and how to deal with the enemy have won us fear, our good discipline has won us praise from our superiors. "OUR COLONEL." We have one of the finest Colonels in the U. S. Army. He is beloved and held in high esteem by all who are under him. We regret to think that soon he will soon depart from us, owing to him reaching the required age for retirement. Of course there are plenty of good officers in our army. Our whole army is composed of good and efficient officers; but still we hate to lose our Colonel as we know him and he knows us. All Filipinos who have to go before him are dealt with with great consideration. They have all learn to respect him. Never have the lieutenant on an expedition, but he would rather treat the natives with civility and dignity, nations which order we always complied with. He takes great pride in the disciplining of his regiment, although he will leave us soon, his name will ever be obserbed by our regiment. I have read good many accounts of discharged volunteers and regulars, through the American newspapers of depredations committed upon Filipinos by our men in the field which reports are false as every soldier in Philippines knows that the lives and property of Filipinos are daily protected by Americans from their own people. The prisoners as well as the peaceable are treated with great consideration. Our officers take great pride in protecting and seeing that the peaceable natives property is respected as well as protected. If a person were to search the roots of these reports they could easily see where they originate. Some men come in the army for pleasure and some for adventure, but when they enlist and are committed to field equipments and commute among life, the peacetation of feather mastresses spring bunks, ham and egg, quail on toast and other such delicacies are not realised they commence to cry for home; but when crying seems to do no good, they generally turn to be chronic kickers and newspaper correspondents. WHAT THEY EXPECT. It seems as if they expect to campaign in a Pullman Palace Car. The American Army is better off without such men, as they are a detriment to the service and the quicker they can be exported to their homes the better for the service. They should all be chicken-broth until they can be given back to their parents to be nursed on a more delicate food. The American Army doesn't need any chronic kick-babies or gold feet-sixteen-to-omenites nor Bry—?}ites in it. We are eating very well on a Gold Chow and we wouldn't like a change of menu to a 'Silver-platform Chow' although we might get a plenty of the latter to chew, but it is liable not to digest well—Gold Chow is substantial enough for us. We know which is which. The health of the 25th can be compared with that of the troops serving in the States with an exception of the minor tropical diseases such as Dobe Ike which has been greatly reduced by our doctors. Our doctors exercise the greatest precaution against contagious diseases because that a strict sanitary law is observed as well as natives. All of the 25th are quartered in good barracks. Duty has been reduced 50 per cent and every thing is going on in harmony. I hope to write you again soon. Co. H. as well as myself, extend to you our best wishes for the success of your paper and the betterment of condition of the Southern Negro. I remain respectfully yours, JAMES BOOKER, Co.

All who owe Mr. Joseph Evans, our agent at Pittsburgh, Pa. will please call on him and settle for the Planet. THE PLANET By Frederick E. Hopkins, D. D. Pastor Gregg Congregational Church, Chicago. HERE is a reason for everything good and for everything bad. For everything that succeeds and everything that fails. There is a reason for every peak of laughter, and for every moan of sorrow. A reason why there are holy wreaths in the windows on this side the street and crape hangs on the door across the way. A reason why the midnight cloud that hung anger but that hung over Bower is Bethlehem is with gold as when the full moon shines upon the sea, and angels are singing their "Glory of God in the highest," and a reason why a pale woman哭 over Bethem is covered with gold as when the full moon shines upon the sea, and angels are singing their "Glory to God in the highest," and a reason why a pale woman beside a manger claps her babe to her bosom and looks up in Joseph's face and with quivering lips whispering, "I am the Lord." ing lips whispered: "Does Herod know?" And so there is a reason for this great Christmas anniversary. We know why island calls to岛, and nation responds to nation, and continent halls continent, and hemisphere salutes hemisphere. We know why the world heaves its hosanna like an Atlantic surge over the battlements of glory. Watch the old sexton of the ancient cathedral. He rises about four o'clock and trims his lantern. We follow him down the street and up the hill, and suddenly before us, out of the gloom of the early morning, rises the great Gothic temple. The door closing with a bang starts a long roll of echoes up and down the church asies like a drum call. He climbs the belfry steps and sets his lantern in the recess of a window of a long thin ray shoots from it across the floor, and sculptured faces of many saints are lighted up. First o'clock. The sexton grasps a rope, bends his body and bows his knees till they touch the floor, suddenly drops the rope and it swiftly runs upward, and the tower trembles and the great bell, like a huge gun, booms: "Awake!" He grasps another rope and rings a second bell in the chime which repeats the message of the first: "Awake!" The bell ringer grasps another rope, and rings a third bell, and it responds: "Awake!" Then all is still. But as the music dies upon the air, far away comes the answer from an theater watch tower of Zion: "Awake, Awake! Awake!" And then from an theater to an other, till you would think the gates of Heaven were open other watch tower of Zion: "Awake, Awake! Awake!" And then from another tower, and another, till you would think the gates of Heaven were opening one by one and The Organist's Prayer- the church triumphant was listening to the salutation: "Awake, put on thy strength, O, Zion, put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem the holy city, break forth into joy, for the Lord hath comforted His people, He hath redeemed Jerusalem." Look at that old bell ringer as he listens to the music of the bells on Christmas morning, and see the tears upon his cheeks and ask him what it all means, and he will answer: "Jesus." Watch the organist as he sits at his instrument and bows his head for a moment. Is it any wonder that the thought rushes over his soul, as an inspiration from on high: "Here beneath my fingers are a thousand voices and never so willing to speak as on Christmas morning when the theme of their praise is Jesus." As the ministers of the gospel feel that their pupils, the amble, are a throne, and that their tales are as ambassador of a king, it is today when they can talk of Jesus. And behold the multitude that is keeping holy day. Roman pontiff and Greek patriarch, Protestant bishop and dissenting preacher, 'all join hands as did the wise men and offer their gifts to Jesus. Avenues of our great cities thronged with worshipers going to hear the story as told by cloquent lips, as sung by the great boy choir of old Trinity or told in the an their guts to Jesus. Avenues of our grand church with worshipers going to hear the story as told by conquent lips, as sung by the great boy choir of old Trinity or told in the an- tiphalon chant by priests standing in their stalls. Truly the chant belongs to and to no creed, and to no reason. But the reason we celebrate the day is that Jesus came to all. He belongs to all. He unites us all. He loves all. And we love Him.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In 1981 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, received the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extender, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a time they became by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate person to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To be found around a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonies.

W. ALLEN Supreme Voyager, 884 W. 83rdStreet, New York HELPLANET SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 190C THEIR FIRST NIGHT IN CAMP WHEN Dr. Beecher, curator at Yale university, went to Winslow, A. T., a few weeks ago with seven New Haven friends and asked who would be a good man to conduct an outfit to the Moqui snake dance at Oribi, it was "Chuck" Hardy that was recommended to him. "Thar's a man," said a native, speaking of Hardy, "who was never known to git inter a hole whatsoe he couldn't fog his way out of it if it only let him have his own way and his six-shooter—don't know as yer need to be so peril'car 'bout lettin' him have his own way, though, fer he'll have that any way if he's got his cutter on his hip." Hardy was known in polite society as a "cow rustler," but the sheriff always referred to him in plain English as a "cattle thief." For this outspokenness Hardy admired the sheriff, and always felt rather proud of himself when that dignitary referred to him by the latter title. A half dozen times he had been arrested, but he was never convicted. Twice he was caught red-handed burning out brands. The foreman of the "Hash-Knife" outfit was unlucky enough to catch him at it the first time, and the following day the foreman was buried. Again a Mexican was impolite enough to interrupt him while he was burning out a "Long H" brand. At Winslow a few days later the Mexican had a bullet taken out of his leg and then left for old Mexico, or, as the cow boys putit, "he drug it clean out of creation." Over the Indian trail that leads from Winslow to Oribi it is 80 miles. A common saying in Winslow is that a coyote has something to be proud of if he manages to go over the trail without either dying of thirst on the Painted desert or sinking in the quicksands of the Little Colorado. Because of the difficulties to be encountered upon the trip the doctor was careful to get a good man to conduct the outfit, and so "Chuck" was engaged. Like nearly all cow punchers, he knew how to cook—that is, he knew how to fry beef until it resembled a trunk strap, to make something which looked like coffee and to make something else which he called bread. Just at daybreak on the morning of the start the commissary, piled high with bedding and provisions, rolled out of Winslow across Tucker's flats with "Chuck" up on the high seat driving. Alongside the wagon, riding a half-broken brocho, was Rob Rickets, a tall, loose-jointed puncher, better known as Rickety Bob. Some four hours later, after they had their morning "bawh" and had spent an hour at breakfast, the doctor and his friends left in the light rigs, thinking to overtake Hardy at noon. But when their "uggage was put aboard" the rigs were overloaded, and at noon they were fully ten miles behind Hardy, and were thus forced to do without lunch. It had been cloudy all morning, and about one o'clock in the afternoon began a typical Arizona rain—a drenching pourdown that lasted unceasingly for hours, and seemed to come but from one little insignificant cloud that hung just overhead. At five o'clock darkness came on. To the west a little above Rabbit's Ear range of mesas settled a heavy bank of dark clouds in which faint flashes of lightning gleamed. The eddying wind would suck one cloud scrap after another from the bank and hurl them out over the flats to reenforce the gushing cloud overhead. All the afternoon Hardy kept the shoulders of his four horses hard against their collars. When darkness came on he had not reached the high ground where he intended to make camp. Water six inches deep covered the flats, and Hardy forced his horses on at a swifter gait than before. The heavy wagon rolled and tossed like a distressed boat as the front and rear wheels dropped alternately to the hubs into soft, miry chuckholes. But Hardy kept on, and at seven o'clock, with a whoop of triumph, he pulled up his tired, weary team on the top of a large sand dune. After the horses had been fed and a pile of green greasewood, the only fuel to be had, had been gathered, Hardy and Ricketty Bob set about making camp. They built a large fire, so that those in the rigs behind might know where to come, and began to prepare supper. "Say, Chuck," said Ricketty, as he rummaged about in the wagon, "do you know we clean plump fergot to bring a coffee mii!?" "No; you don't say?" "Yes, sir; and the hen fruit what yer got for them hifalutin tenderfeet air jes' plump made inter an omelet already. And, good gosh! Look at the lid of this here bread oven. She's cracked plump clean acrossst." "Well," drawn Chuck, "ef that's the case I guess thar ain't none of our friends whatsoe will suffer a great lot with gout afore they git back, anyhow." "Say, Chuck," said Ricketty, scratching his head thoughtfully and balancing himself on the hind wheel of the wagon. "do you know we're again! ter have trouble with them their mavericks? We air, shore. They's jes' like a lot of bronks. You've jes' got ter give it ter 'em proper the first time yer meet up with em 'er thens' no handlin' 'em at all. So ef I was you I wouldn't feed them critters too strong at the go-off." "Guess, yer right thar, pard," returned Chuck. "I'll jes' go 'em on that proposition *n*-night." When Dr. Beecher's party came up a little later "Chuck" was singing to the most doleful tune a song the refrain of which ran "So we'll leave this spot, this dismale hole, And pull for the Rio Grande. Where in sunlight bright we'll back and Till the river runs full of brandy. And the girls are sweet as candy." "There, doctor!" exclaimed Mr. Callahan to Dr. Eaton, as they drove up. "That's just what I've come 3,000 miles to hear." Hastily they all left their cramped positions in the rigs and hurried up to the fire. Rickety Bob sat on the ground pounding up coffee in a baking powder can with the muzzle of his six-shooter, firing into the air whenever the muzzle became clogged and didn't out well. "Well," said Chuck, cheerily, as he finished his song, "how's this for dampness?" No one paid any attention to him for a few moments. They were all too much taken up with Rickety Bob. Hardy took the opportunity to look them over, and he did it as carefully as though they had been a bunch of yearling colts which he intended to purchase. Eeach wore a sombrero with a rim fully eight inches wide, and from their general breezy make-up it was plain to Hardy that some one had been telling them all about the hot, dry climate of "arid Arizona." Finally one of the group turned to Hardy and asked: "Where do we camp to-night, Mr. Hardy?" "Right here, sir." "And the tents?" "Tents! Why, man alive, don't you know they don't allow tents on an Indian reservation? Why, these here Navajoes would come along here and find us in tents and they'd fog us TEN MILES BEHIND HARDY. plumb out of the country, thinking that we was soldiers. No, sir; tents all the time that we was soldiers. No, sir; tents air a little too risky fer me." "Well, but what will we do about this rain?" "Do like Adam did. Lay out and take 'er and thank the Lord for sendin 'er." Tired, hungry and shivering in their wet clothes, the eastern men looked at one another in dismay. Going to the fire Hardy threw the lid off the bread oven and snatched out a biscuit. Peeling off the top and bottom crusts, he took the middle out and threw it against the side of the wagonbed, where it stuck. Then, as though that were a test that put the seal of perfection upon all good bread, he yelled out: "Here she is; come and git 'er while she's a-steamin'." Uncovering the meat and pulling the coffee pot out of the fire, he and Rickety Bob took out their jackknives, sat down tailor-fashion on the wet sand and began to "fly at her." Far-away "home-and-mother" looks stole into the visitors' eyes, but they said nothing. Presently Hardy looked up and asked: "Don't you fellers want nuthin' to eat?" "Why, yes; we'd like something, but I haven't any knife. Will you lend me yours until I fish out a piece of meat?" said Zeigler Sergeant. "Shore, Mike. But, say, fellers, that's a whole passel of knives an' forks an' tin dishes thar in the chuckbox, if yer keer ter use them." Coming back to the fire after the beds had been made down, Hardy found one of the party washing his feet in a basin of water that had been drawn from the "drinking water" tanks on the wagon. "Drag it out o' that!" yelled Hardy, drawing his revolver and covering the barefoot man. "Come right out of that er I'll pump yer plumb full of these here lead beans." "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" cried the frightened man. "I meant no—" "Never mind what yer meant," said Hardy, returning his revolver to its holster, "but please jes' remember that the water in them barrels has got ter last us fer drinking purposes fer the next five days." At that he picked up the basin and poured the water back into the barrel, to the astonishment and horror of the New Englanders. No one dared object to this, and so the incident passed. About this time there was a "let-up" in the rainstorm, and it gave all a chance to get to bed dry. But at midnight the lightning began to flash again and another pourdown came. As the first big drops fell Hardy and Rickety Bob poked their heads out from beneath their tarpaulin, and, yelling like Comanches, emptied their six-shooters into the air. From that time on there was no sleep for the "professors." Drowned out of their beds by the leaking tarpaulin, they either sought shelter in vain under the rigs or walked about over the sand dune until morning trying to keep warm.—Chicago Daily Record.

SATURDAY, DEC. 22, 1900 THE OASE OF "MISS" WYATT. ONE of the most remarkable cases that has ever attracted the attention of the public occurred Friday, Dec. 14th, 1900, when ANNIE WYATT (white) was arranged in the Police Court upon the charge of stealing from the apartment store of MEYER BROTHERS, corner Foushee and Broad Sts. A law was enacted by the legislature of Virginia, giving Police Justices discretionary powers in cases of petit larceny (stealing). They can either fine or imprison or both. This was intended to shield certain influential people who might be guilty of theft. Police Justice John J. CRUTCHFIELD has made it an inviolable rule to inflict jail punishment upon any and all persons guilty of this offense. Naturally when, a white woman came before him, caught red-handedly, with the goods in her possession, it was expected by some that he would "break his rule." On the other hand, it was known by those who knew him best that he would enforce the law, while tempering it with mercy. We have in mind the case of a colored man guilty of a similar offense, having stolen large quantities of goods from a leading dry-goods store, and the cases against him were made up separately. The result was that he got a term in jail on all of them, aggregating five years. He may be in jail yet, for all that we know. We knew then, at a glance, that if Police Justice GRUTENFIELD gave ANNIE WYATT, ninety days in jail, under ordinary circumstances, leaving out maudlin sympathy, a jury of white men would have given her about three years in the penitentiary. But what did she do? The daily papers tell the story. Here is an account by one of them. *After struggling along with the temptation of the world before her, for several years, without the guilding influences of real home-life, Annie Wyatt, a young clerk in a large department store, and a Sunday-school teacher, succeeded in temptations and fell. "Two or three days ago she was seen leaving the store with a bundle in her hand. This was against the rule of the house, and the matter was seriously considered by the proprietors. Later she was again noticed with a bund's under her arm, and she was approached by the floor-walker, who questioned her. She said the bundle was some thing that belonged to her sister, and she was taking it home for her She was told to leave the package in the proper place and it would be sent by the wagon. A suspicion having arisen, the package was opened and found to contain articles belonging to the store. "Several of the gentlemen interested went to the rooms of the young woman on West Marshall Street Thursday, and found enough goods to start a store. There were laces, silks, books, white goods and articles of almost every description to the value of hundreds of dollars. It was also discovered that there were women in the rooms belonging to another apartment house, amounting to several hundred dollars more. When the young woman realized her situation she broke down and wept and asked forgiveness and promised to do nothing wrong again." At this rate the young woman in question could run a business at a greater profit than MEYER BROTHERS. Now, mark you, under the law, the persons residing in that house are amenable to the law for permitting the storing therein of these stolen goods. But the most amusing part of the whole affair is the appeal to Governor J. HOGE TYLER. Here is what is said about it: "Governor Tyler will this afternoon grant a pardon to Miss Annie Wyatt, the young woman sentenced a few days ago to serve a sentence of ninety days in jail for petit larceny. The Governor has been overwhelmed with letters, petitions and callers in behalf of the lady since the day she was sentenced. One of these letters was from Bishop Porter the Rev. Preston Nash, of this city, has also been entiring in his efforts to secure the freedom of the accused and to remove the stigma of an act of which she was technically guilty. Her counsel, L. O. Wendenburg, has also worked zealously for her." Now here is a young woman found with a whole store outfit in her private dwelling, goods confessedly stolen, not from one dry-goods emporium, but from another, a fact which gives colour to the suspicion that the place was a depot for stolen goods and that the Wyatt girl was not alone in her peculiations and yet she is said to be only technically guilty. But the affair gets even more amusing if not more serious. It seemed that somebody was making a desperate effort to "bamboczle" the Governor, for here is what took place: "Governor Tyler decided to have an interview with Miss Wyatt for himself, and he accordingly instructed Deputy Buck Johnson to be her to the Capitol. The officer complied, and at 1:15 o'clock he appeared. Miss Wyatt dressed in black, wearing a black veil her face showing the greatest agony and suffering, her eyes red from weeping, entered the room occupied by private secretary Owen, where she wamet by the Rev. Mr. Nash, who escorted her into the private office of the Governor." We regret to learn of such absurd conduct. A prisoner, confessedly guilty of a felony of over $50 worth of goods when stolen at any one time, carried into the presence of the Governor, and interviewed in order that a ninety-day jail sentence might be lifted from her shoulders. All right, Gov. TYLER, all right! When one of the Negro female shop-lifters gets into a similar predicament, remember, please the precedent which you have set. We do not believe that any colored minister of standing in Richmond could have been induced to go into court and before the Governor in behalf of a Sunday School teacher of his flock, who had been guilty of such conduct and had put up such flimsy excuses as are contained in the following recital: "The story as disclosed to Governor Tyler is in substance as follower. When Miss Wyatt was accused of the crimes she was almost crazed, and did not know what to do. She was for a short time in the book department, and she took some books home with her to read in order to familiarize herself with their contentes. She had certain household duties to perform, and in this way did not read the books. These she failed to return contrary to rules, expecting to find time to read them. I this number accumulated. It was her purpose to read some of them to her aunt, with whom she lived, but the illness of the man prevented this. The Libraries and Jayas books were taken home in order that her aunt might select one to purchase for a gift. "The various articles of wearing apparel are easily accounted for. Miss Wyatt was twice engaged to be married, on both occasions her trousseau was completed, and both times just before the ceremony the groom-elect died. The trousseau was packed away. These were a part of the goods which Miss Wyatt was accused of stealing. Other stuff found in Miss Wyatt's apartment she says she purchased, many of them having been given her in payment of service while working with her aunt in a millinery store in Petersburg. "When Miss Wyatt was in court, having by advice of counsel plead guilty, she could make no defence, believing that her statement would be given no credence, and she was given the highest sentence possible. Miss Wyatt says that some of the articles which is is alleged she took from the Meyer store were given her by the wife of a well-known ergymman. She declares that not an article found in her room, save books mentioned above, belonged to anyone except herself." Now it is evident that the reporter who wrote that "ghost stery" does not believe it himself for he remarks: "Friends of Miss Wyatt believe she is a victim of kleptomania, and say she has been so inflicted from childhood." It is evident that the hard-working, industrious sales-ladies in the stores of this city cannot but consider the action of the Wyatt girl's friends as a reflection upon them. They naturally condemn any of their number guilty of such outrageous peculiations. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are handled by the white sales-ladies of this city and every cent accounted for and it is to their interest to have all such characters as the one noted exposed and forced out of a business for which they are neither adapted or fitted. We think Justice CRUTCHFIELD was right and that Gov. TYLER has misunderstood the temperament and desires of the white ladies of Richmond now employed in these stores, when he imagines that in favoring ANNIE WYATT he is benefiting them. Colored people of respectability are opposed to thieves and especially colored ones. They are against humanity. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND VIRGINIA disagreeable, insulting colored folks. They believe in honesty, and are in favor of upholding the law. That is why when shop-lifters of their race are caught no word in their behalts spoken either from the pulpit or in their race journals. Honesty is the best policy. It is wrong to make "flesh of one race, and tow!" of the other. It may be that we may soon have a Negro ANNIE WYATT's case to engage the attention of our Governor, and when we do, we trust that he may be as carefu and as kind in dealing with her as he has been in the case of this white female, whom it is hoped is suffering from kleptomania. JUST A FEW LINES MORE. It seems that those enthusiasts, who interested themselves in the ANNIE Wyatt case ran upon a regular "Gold-brick" arrangement. The total amount stolen by her amounts to ($1021.73) one thousand and twenty-one dollars and seventy-three cents. Police Justice CRUTOHFIELD is now no doubt smiling for he has proven that a pardon was virtually granted at the trial of the case for he exercised elemen-ency of a sort, that leaves nothing for Gov. TYLER to do. To steal a $1.25 ham means ninety days in that court, and yet a white female who confessedly stole one thous- and dollars worth of goods grumbles because she gets a light punishment. But here is a list of the articles stolan by this white female: "Domestic goods, $20.88; linings, $43.37; laces, $387.01; books, $156.75. The volumes taken nu_bered over 200 including thirteen Bibles. The value of the articles not identified amounts to $204.77. A box was also identified by another firm containing artists valued at from $150 to $200. Miss Wyatt was in charge of the lace and book stock." Did she have confederates? Just suppose Detectives TOMLINSON, Gibson, WREEN and SCHLIEF were to tell all that they know. Bat, enough, iwe are sorry for the young woman. Sorry that she did not accept the punishment meted her and sorry that she did not on her bended knees thank Justice CRUTCHFIELD for virtually exerising the prerogatives of the Governor.

Has Taken 772 Bottles in Two Years to Cure Imaginary Ills—Wife, Who Paid for Them, Tells a Tale of Woe. Andrew Boyce, of Philadelphia, is in more or less comfortable cell in Moyamensing prison, under pressure to determine if he shall give up the idea that he is an invalid in need of 27 kinds of patent medicines which his wife has been paying for out of earnings from washing and sewing. Boyce is six feet tall, weighs 190 pounds, and eats like a coal-heaver. On this showing he has been held in default of $500 bonds to show cause why he should not do something in support of his family. Since he be- gan diagnosing his case several years ago he had almost every aliment under the sun, and, according to his wife's statistics, he has taken the following medicines, washed down with two gallons of lithia water each week: 48 bottles ..... Swamp Root bottles ..... Celery Compound bottles ..... Epiglossum bottles ..... Vermilite bottles ..... Kidney Cure bottles ..... Milk Pot bottles ..... Swayne's Specific bottles ..... Omega Oil bottles ..... Catarrh Comedy bottles ..... Munyon's History bottles ..... Nervura boxes ..... Skin Ointment boxes ..... Magnolia Oil boxes ..... Cough and Catarrh Root bottles ..... Glycerine Tonic bottles ..... Far Tablets bottles ..... Cold Cure Mrs. Boyce's money has come hard, she has washed, sewed, nursed, scrubbed, cleaned and planned to keep souls and bodies together in herself and children and the other day when she balked and told the husband that she was done buying him patent medicines, and that thereafter she would expect him to go to work, he considered that she had taken leave of her senses. He stuck to his self-diagnoses and persisted in ordering his favorite medicines, and as a result Mrs. Boyce swore out a warrant for his arrest because of nonsupport. "You wouldn't believe the medicine that man has taken," declared Mrs. Boyce to a newspaper correspondent. "And to see him eat all this time-eight or nine potatoes at a meal and other things in proportion. Yet last winter he decided that SERVED HIM MEALS IN BED. he was not able to come downstairs to breakfast, and like a ninny I served him meals in bed. He had kidney disease then and was taking swamp root at 81 cents a bottle. He kept this up until he had taken 49 bottles of the medicine. It didn't cure him, of course, because he didn't have anything to be cured. He insisted on taking four or five daily papers in order to read up on the medicine advertisements, and whenever he found a new medicine he immediately got the disease that it was advertised to cure. He kept this kidney trouble longer than almost any other of his diseases, taking 12 bottles of a New York mixture at one dollar a bottle. Then people began to talk of the gripe. Mr. Boyce had a oold, so light as to be scarecely noticeable; but he decided that he was suffering from gripe in its worst form. He bought dozens of bottles of expectorant. At the same time he decided he needed a tonic, and he took 40 bottles. "He thought catarrh was developing as a consequence of the gripe, and bought patient remedies by the dozen bottles. After reading a treatise on consumption he decided his lungs were in danger, so he took some more expectorant and many bottles of glycerin tonic. Tar tablets—only 37 boxes—were given a trial. "Then he started on a new line, as a result of a circular sent to him. He decided he needed vermifuge, and he took 50 bottles. By this time he had the rheumatism. He bought an electric belt that cost $30 and medicine by the wholesale. The first drug was celery compound, and he rubbed himself with oil daily. Then he thought his nerves were becoming affected by his many diseases, and he took 40 bottles of nervura. "These are some of the expenditures that I have borne with, when all on earth that allis is in 'that tired feeling,' which he seems to have been born with and to have been nursing ever since. I'm done buying him medicines, I know, or supporting him, either. When he has to turn out and grub for a living, as I have been doing for years, he won't have so much time for studying his beloved 'symptoms.'" One of Boyce's incidental vagaries is an objection to having his hair cut. He ever insisted that his sons' hair should not be sheared, but his wife held out against that. Boyce's own hair has not been out for two years. Ohio Students Pushed, Carried and Shoved the Creature to the Third Story of Woman's Hall, Prof. Riker's family cow entered college at Mount Union, Alliance, O., on recent Wednesday night. The cow was quite innocent, however, of any vain ambition. She was induced to enter the college by 100 students, who, well masked and wearing white robes, carried, pushed, shoved and coaxed Prof. Riker's faithful animal to the third story of the woman's hall, one of the principal buildings of the university. The cow had been taken safely up the second flight of stairs, when she suddenly lost all interest in higher education and slid to the bottom of the stairs. A large, healthy cow sliding down a ELEVATING THE POOR COW long flight of steps in the Woman's hall at midnight is not a usual sound, and the building resounded with the shrieks of the women students. The cow also found her voice and lifted it up in a sepulchral "moo" that reverberated all over that section of Alliance. The students were undaunted, and after herculean efforts again succeeded in getting the intelligent animal up to the top of the stairs. They tethered the cow to the doorknob of a white-faced freshman "coed," who was dreaming that the college was being attacked by Indians. Then the students made their way down the stairs over to the college building, where they threw desks and furniture out of the window and went through the place as though they were the allies looting Peking. They went down town and celebrated the successful entrance of the cow into Mount Union college by a war dance on the public square. The cow left college the next day by means of six stout laborers, several hundred feet of heavy rope, and a stout tackle block. Then the young women who had rooms on the third floor, where the cow boarded during her brief career as a "coed," came out of their rooms and went to breakfast. And now the faculty say they will suspend all the cow's friends. HE KILLED HIMSELF. Because His Wife Had Said "It Would Be Better for the Children If You Were Dead." George Oliver James Palmer, former chief clerk of the invoice department of the United States army building in New York, is dead, with the horrible, scarifying marks of carbolic acid on his lips and chin. His widow is at the home, $13 West One Hundred and Sixty-first street, repenting of a hasty speech, and at her knees are two pretty children, fatherless because of a word rashly spoken. There had been a misunderstanding—one of those slight things that may become a stone barrier between husband and wife, while each at heart would break it down. He spoke in some heat. She had retorted: "Perhaps it would be better for the children if you were dead." It had been an idle speech; she had regretted it the moment she spoke. But he was gone and she could not call it back. All day the speech buzzed in her ears; a vague sense of evil to come oppressed her. As for him, he went away dazed. He VICTIM OF A CRUEL TONGUE. knew that she did not mean it; knew that she could not have felt it. But it had stung him before he knew it and it riddled in him, and would not leave. I walked in and would not ease. He worked all day in silence. His fellow men noticed that he was preoccupied, but nothing more. When evening came he did not go home, but wandered in the streets till after midnight. A little after six o'clock next morning Polleman Vosburg found him lying in a maple grove near One Hundred and Sixty-fourth street and Broadway. In his pocket was a note addressed to his wife and ending: "You will never know, dear, what a day of agony this has been for me. But I am going to my execution with a stout heart and a clear conscience, for in doing so I am making the happiness of my children sure." Agitated Father—You have rescued my daughter, sir, from an awful death by drowning. Ask me anything! Brave Young Man—Do you really mean that? "I do, I do." "Then don't compal me to marry her."—Detroit Free Press. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND VIRGINIA A. MRS. MARTH the world renowned and highly celebrated business and test Medium reveals everything. No imposition. Can be consulted upon all affairs of life, business, love and marriage a speciality. Every mystery revealed, also of absent, deceased and living friends. Removes all troubles and estrangements, challenges any Medium who can exceed her in startling revelations of the past, present and future events of one's life. Remember she will not for any price flatter you; you may rest assured you will gain facts without nonsense. She can be consulted upon all affairs of Life, Love, Courtship, Marriage Friends, with this description of future companion. She is very aware of describing missing friends, unimies etc., business, law suits journeys, contact ed wills, divorce and speculation is valuable and reliable She reads your desistry-good or bad; she withhold nothing. MRS. MARTH tells your entire life past, present and future in a DEAD TRANCE, has the power of any two Mediums you ever met. In tests she tells your mother's full name before marriage, the names of all your family their ages and description, the name and business of your present husband the name of your next if you are to have one, the name of the young man who new calls on you, the name of your future husband, and the day, month and year of your marriage, how many children you have or will have; whether your present sweetheart will be true to you and if he will marry you; if you have no sweetheart she will tell you when you will have and his name, business and date of acquaintance. All future will be told in an honest clear and plain way to the dead deceased. Mothers should know the cases of their husbands and children young ladies should know everything about the; sweethearts or intended husband. Do not keep company, marry or go into business until you know all, do not let silly religion scruples prevent your consulting. Madame is the only one in the world who can tell you the FULL NAME of your future husband, with age and date of marriage, and tells whether the one you love is irust or false. There are some persons who believe that there is no truth to be gained from consulting a Medium, but such beliefs are contrary to the truth. It is only from the lack of discrimination that such a conclusion can be reached. It is not every one who placards himself or herself as a medium that can stand a test of what he or she claims. And a person of an enquiring mind may ask the reason why. It is simply it these advisers do not take the able to study hun an nature. They do not spend their thoughts for a moment with acquiring the art of phaseology and kindred branches that will have a tendency to make the pathway to the road of the business clear and devoid of all obstacles. It is an undeniable fact that persons will come for advice in full knowledge of what they want to know, and yet as soon as they confront a medium they try their utmost endeavor to dispel from their minds what they know so as to hear if it will be rehearsed by the Medium. To get the secret out or a petition is the art used by many unprumped mediums, but to take hold of the head and gain control of the mind thereby is a matter of impossibility to most of them. And yet this can be done and by consulting Mrs. Marth the seeming mystery becomes a realization. This subject has received no little attention by eminent men and even college professors. So it proves conclusively that although tare are infringers in our midst with oily tongues perhaps the gates of wisdom have not been closed to the entire profession. It takes a great deal of study to become an accomplished medium and by a continuous and untiring effort, the key to the well of apparently unfathom able mysteries has been secured by MRS. MARTH for the benefit of humanity. Enclose stamp for reply. Please mention the PLANET CURES BALDNESS. Prevents Hair Falling Out, Removes Dandruf Stops Itching and Restores Luxuriant Growth to Shining Scalps, Evebrows and Evelashes B. MISS DELLA JONES of Calvert, Texas Those who are losing their hair or have parted with their locks can have it restored by a remedy that is sent free to all. A Indiana firm has concluded that the best way to convivie people that hair can be grown on any head is to let them try it, and see for themselves. All sorts of theories have been advanced to account for falling hair, but after all it is the remedy we are after and not the theory. People who need more hair, or are anxious to save what they have, or from sickness, dandruff or other causes have lost their hair should at once send their names to the Alter-nheim Medical Dispensary. 900 patients Building, Cincinnati, enclosing a cement stamp to cover postage, and they will forward prepaid by mail, a sufficient free trial package of their remedy to fully prove its remarkable action in quickly removing all traces of dandruff and scalp disease and foregoing a new growth of hair. The remedy is not a new experiment and no one need fear that it is harmful. I cured John Bruner, Postmaster of Milville, Henry Co., Ind., and he strongly urges every one to try it. A Methodist presacher, Victor A. Faioux of Tracy Tenn. was perfectly bald on his forehead for many years, but has now a fine growth. Mrs. C. W. Oysterman 848 Main St., Riverside. al., reports her husband's shiny head on his forehead, soft, flue hair and she too has drilled useful benefit. Among others who have used remedy is the wife of Geo. Dietzenbach, General Agent of the Big Four R. R. of Dayton O., who was entirely cured of baldness. The President of Fairmount College, Sulphur, Ky. Prof B. F. Turner, was bald for thirty years and now has a splendid growth of hair from having tried this remarkable remedy. Write to-day for a free trial package.

Miss Della Jones of Calvert, Tex., Relates an Interesting Experience. Used a Free Trial Package of a Remedy and the Result Was Wonderful. Nothing can be more unfortunate to a lady than to lose her hair. To see gradually getting thinner and thinner and the bald spot growing larger and larger day by day is apt to cause melanoid and be a cause of taking cold and serious sickness. Miss Deila Jones prominent in Calvert. Text., colored society was having serious trouble with her hair but fortunately saw the notice of of the celebrated Foso treatment. She sent for a free trial package and says:—It affords me the greatest pleasure to say that everything regarding the treatment is just as represented. I had no faith in it, but since it costs nothing to try I used it and my hair has now been saved and restored to its original growth. Am very much pleased to recommend such a valuable and remarkable treatment. The remedy also cures itching and dandruff sure signs of approaching baldness and keeps the scalp healthy and vigorous. It also restores gray hair to natural color and produces thick and lustrous eyebrows and eyelashes.

All fell of floating house; The bees are gone, And life is shorn Of much of its fond glamor, The butterfly Soars not on high. Promoting thus the drama. The dried up streams begin to flow, While colors rich and mellow On foliage all around us glow; And apples red and yellow Lie on the ground, And all round We hear the gladsome voices Of old and young In joyous song, While all the world rejoices. Thus Autumn brings the harvest home, Produced by all the seasons, Winter, Spring and Summer come, And Autumn with them reasons: All mine are thine, And thine are mine, We all love one another, So let us live, And take and give, As brother should with brother. —O.

Admiral Sir Edward Seymour is a most accomplished linguist. As a boy he learned languages simply for amusement. Lord Salisbury, in speaking of the social side of English political life, said recently that there is really little of it. He has never so much as spoken with John Morley and never saw Mr. Parnell. Sir James Joyce, the British coal king, has an income of about $5,000,000 a year, and is one of the wealthiest men in parliament. He began his business life as a clerk in New Castle at five dollars a week. Daniel Orris, a Greek millionaire of Paris, has set aside the sum of 100,000 francs to be given yearly "to the inventor, discoverer or producer of the most noteworthy idea or object for the benefit of humanity." Gen. Lord Kitchener's leaning toward the enforcement of severe discipline is said to be more or less inherited, as his father, Col. Kitchener, had the reputation of being the strictest disciplinarian in the British army. Mirabau, one of the great Frenchmen of the revolution, was a noted gourmand, and it is said that amid all the squailor of the Terror he ever maintained spotless raiment and always satisfied a desire for the dainty things of life. The castle offered to ex-President Kruger by M. Oswald d'Aumerie is situated at Anderlecht, a suburb of Brussels. It was built by the monks three centuries ago, and used as a convent. In 1840 it belonged to the burgmaster of Anderlecht, who had the honor of entertaining within its walls Leopold I. Lately it has been restored to its former splendor with all modern improvements. It is surrounded by a splendid park. NOT VERY MODERN. Chess has been traced back 6,000 years. Quoits was played in the dawn of the world's history by the soldier priests of Isis. Ages ago the Hindu "medicine man" knew all about disease germs and microbes, although he was jeered at by western scientists because he called them "little worms." In the archaic vasseroom at the British museum there may be seen babies' feeding bottles of sun-baked clay which were antique when Joseph went into Egypt. It has been generally supposed that the system of using raised letters for the education of the blind was a European invention. No such thing. Books printed in this species of type have been in use in Persia from time immemorial. The telescope, so far from being, as is generally averred, the outcome of the famous experiment of Galileo, was known at least 300 years before his time, while the microscope certainly dates from the early part of the ninth century, although greatly improved in the sixteenth by Jansen and others. A bone collar stud was recently found in a Sakkarahian sarcophagus resembling almost exactly in appearance these sold by hawkers in the Strand at three a penny. Yet the man who made it had been dust and ashes thousands of years, at the time the patriarch Abraham fed his flocks on Hebron. IN VARIOUS PLACES. The Chinese have a leaning pagoda at Ningpo. Russia is to levy a special tax to raise revenue for the Red Cross work within the empire. Vital statistics published recently in Norway show that about 7,000 inhabitants of that country die annually from consumption. A Viennese seamstress gets only 15 cents for hemstitching ten dozen handkerchiefs, paying for her own thread and light. Seven dollars a month, with room and board, seems to be the highest sum ever paid to a waiter girl in German notels and restaurants. The cheapest postal service in the world is that of Japan, where for two sen—about seven-tenths of a penny—letters are conveyed all over the empire. The legislature of the state of Aguas Calientes, in Mexico, has passed a law prohibiting bull-fighting. A movement is on foot to secure the passage of a similar law by other states of Mexico. It has been decided by the French government that from now on their army officers shall be free to marry the women of their choice, though dowerless. Heretofore this was strictly forbidden. An officer's bride was forced to show that she possessed a certain income. To talk of poverty, 'its said, Will bring it hovering round your head; But you may talk of wealth galore And not annex a dollar more. -Chicago Record. She Proved Her Case, He—What proof have I that you really love me? She—Proof! Did I not dance with you at the charity ball?

A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Is the Wish of THE SOUTHERN AID SOCIETY Home Office, 504 N. Second Street, Richmond, Virginia. We were before you twelve months ago with this same greeting. We are before you again! Our agents have been kept busy writing Applications; some have joined out of mere curiosity while others have come in because they know of our merits. We have received many complimentary letters of thanks, coming from grateful members, on account of our prompt PAYMENT OF SICK AND BURIAL CLAIMS. Our motto, "Honesty the best policy" has not been lost sight of and we attribute our success to the strict adherence of these principles. Our enemies of the past are now our friends because we pay promptly. The important question is not whether you can afford to carry a policy with us, but is it safe not to have the protection we offer? Its not what a person earns, but its the use to which they put their earnings that insure comfort in sickness. No use of trying to beg money now a-days to bury your friends. The people will say, Do As I Have Done. Look out for the rainy day. No need of a city doctor and a pauper's burial now when 5 and 10 cents a week will supply the need. You had just as well see this at once and follow the crowd. Everybody is Going SOUTHERN AID Way! We could tell you of the thousands of dollars paid out for sickness and death, but what's the use? You are best pleased when you are sure of getting what's coming to you. Join now, don't wait for bad health and old age. When our Agents call on you just give them your application, no need of waiting. Delays are dangerous. Information cheerfully furnished by our Agents or at our offices. Staunton, Va., 111 E.

Having purchased several fine, latest style carriages, made to my own order, and embracing all of the most modern improvements, for style and comfort; placing them in charge of polite drivers, liveried for the occasion, I feel justified in asking the continuation of the patronage of the public. That my terms are reasonable, and the satisfaction given by me is unbounded, is conceded by all lovers of good service. Promptness and a constant endeavor to please my patrons have had the effect of making this establishment an emporium to which all journey when they desire first class service and double the satisfaction for the amount of money paid. Receptions, Balls, Marriages, Late Entertainmentms, attended upon short notice. Comfort is to be found in the rubber-tired landeau, and here you can find it. It is needless to refer to the late styles and thoroughly modern funeral cars, [white and black in color] which are the features of the establishment, or to the smoothness and despatch with which all of the sad occasions have been conducted. You pay no more for good, than you do for poor service and you get five times the satisfaction. Call and see me, or a phone message will bring a "rubber tire" to your door.
