FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1903. THE PROBLEM FROM A NEGRO'S STANDPOINT. The all absorbing question agitating the public mind to-day, and which has been agitating the public mind nearly half a century, is "What shall we do with our brother in black?" Having carefully read Rev. Dixon's views on this subject, also having read the symposium recently published in the Chicago Tribune, on the same subject, the thought came to me, the public has this question sufficiently brought before them from the white man's standpoint. Now let us look at it from a Negro's standpoint. The Negro came not to these shores by his own free will, nor for love of the country. Let us go back to 1620, to that period when African slavery grew from the landing of a cargo of Negroes in Jamestown, the same year that the Mayflower anchored in Boston harbor, with a cargo of exiles seeking religious liberty. The Negroes were quickly purchased and slavery became a permanent institution. The introduction of Negroes was an undertaking for the white man's gain and profit. He brought us here and made us a part of the American soil. It is impossible to annihilate us. We are here and to stay. The Negro, as a whole, is docile, forgiving and too willing to overlook the outrages heaped upon him. From 1620 until 1903, it has been the white man's privilege and pleasure to domineer and ostracize the Negro. 1865 found the Negro but a little more civilized than when the first sale put him on the market. In that condition freed and thrown upon their own resources, without even so much as a hoe given them whereby to eke out a livelihood; the ballot waik placed in his hands, a part of the step which had to be taken to save the Union. The South could not be depended on to ratify the amendment to the Constitution. The North, for their own aggrandizement pushed the matter and gave ta be Negroes, all un fitted at that time, the franchise. He surprised and disappointed the white man because he did not exercise the privilege rightly. Sold it, as the white man does; at another time exercised it for his party's sake, as the white man does. Untaught how to use it, and unprotected in the use of it, does it appear that he should use the tool with skill? It was through those Christian Associations, such as the American Missionary, the United Presbyterian and other Christian associations that light was first given the Negro. Then the South came forward nobly and made provision for public schools for white and black alike. After having given thirty-five years of my life to my own people in the South, I can say with all honesty and truth, that the better class of white people in the South are the best friends the Negroes have. It was my privilege to be among the first sent South by the American Missionary Association as a teacher. We followed as soon as the soldiers made an opening. At that time, in the early sixties, the South was devastated, homes were broken, the Negroes thrown upon their own resources, without anything, some without names. No one that has looked upon the progress made by the Negro since emancipation can say that the Negro has not done well, except he look with the eyes of prejudice. Alone and unaided we have struggled, and to-day, we own no small proportion of real estate, churches, school houses and colleges, and we have our bank accounts. We have, it is true, not so many as have our Anglo-Saxon brother, who have for an inheritance the wealth of three hundred years of the labor, artisans, lawyers, doctors artists, sculptors, dressmakers and teachers, with many cultured divines. We are proud that we have done so well in so short a space, and we know that you are also proud. The "Jim Crow car" law could be easily adjusted by the use of first and second or even third class cars, for we are no more willing to ride or associate with some of the whites, than are some of the whites to ride or associate with us. It is owing to no fault of ours. We look upon it as a burning shame and disgrace to our race, when frequently conductors are puzzled to know whether they are forcing white or colored people into the Jim Crow cars. Some states have taken the ballot from the Negro. I would to God that all Negroes would refuse to use the ballot, for some time, at least. If education is to be the test, how sad to disfranchise so many worthy, loyal, white young men of the Mountain districts. Prof Du Bois of Atlanta University, has made a careful study of the condition of the Negro in all phases. He says: "On the whole this study of a phase of the vast economic development of the Negro race but emphasizes the primal and emphatic need of intelligence." Definitely guided with larger wisdom of men and deeper benevolence of great hearts, an outcome of good cannot be doubted. Muddled and sordid interests, and all the evils of the industrial history may be repeated in the South. There are a few things the Negro wants. He wants an education in all departments, he wants understanding and wisdom, and he should have a chance, and then he should work out his own problem with God as his helper. AT EXCELSIOR SPRINGS. During the month of August, Excelsior Springs was visited by a number of people from Kansas City, Mo., Kansas City, Kas., and other points that made one of the most congenial parties ever seen at the health resort. The party consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Branch of Kansas City, Kas., Mr. and Mrs. Bonsfield, Mr. and Mrs. Buffins, Dr. and Mrs. Chapman, Mrs. Nellie Nichols, Mrs. L. N. Jackson and Mrs. Robert Simpson, all of Kansas City, Mo. and Mr. H. L. Stewart of Chicago, Mr. Lewis Woods of the Rising Son was also present. They all stopped at the Wilson House, where they were cared for by the proprietors, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson. Anyone visiting the Springs for rest and recreation will find good accommodations at the Wilson House. How She Signed the Check "I sometimes think that if I had my way in the matter I would make it a law that women should not have bank books," said the tired-looking cashier. "Some of their mistakes would put a sensible schoolboy to shame. Among the checks handed in to me to-day was one for quite a large amount which the woman who drew it out had signed 'Your loving Carrie.'" Before Rome Was Founded In one of the tombs recently excavated in the Roman Forum a vase was discovered, the inscriptions on which show that it belongs to the twelfth century before Christ, or 400 years before the reputed date of the toounding of Rome. Signor Boni, the director of the excavations, Believes the tomb to be a relic of a city which existed and had disappeared before Rome was founded. Lots of Work for Idle Hands Lots of Work for the Trades. Loud and urgent are the calls from western farms and orchards for scores of thousands of wage earners for the harvesting of the crops and the garnering of the fruits. But too many idlers, tramps and beggars in our cities, and in the country regions also, turn deaf ears to such appeals and refuse tempting opportunities to earn honest and comfortable livings. The vagrant spirit, the "dead-beak" desire to get along without working, is too conspicuous everywhere.—New York Tribune. M. B.

Medical records in the various hospitals of New York city show that though quite forgetful of recent happenings, aged persons recall long past events in correct order, and even lie again amid scenes passed utterly out of recollection before the disease of senility appeared. A woman of 79, delirious from pleurio-pneumonia, repeated poetry in Hindustani. It developed lated on that up to the age of four she knew only that language, but afterward had forgotten that she ever spoke it. Another peculiar case on record is that of an illiterate maid servant who while in the delirium of fever, recited Greek and Hebrew for hours, although when in health she knew no word of either language, her ravings being due to the brain impressions left by the readings heardd many years before of a learned rabbi whose servant she had been. BUTLER MISSOURI NOTES Rev. Gordon has been absent from town ten days visiting Jefferson City, Lexington and other points. Rev. Mitchell has been absent three weeks attending the camp meeting at St. Joseph. The son of Rev. Leonard has been very sick, but is now improving. High Prices for Antiques Old furniture collectors in this city have lately been driving prices higher and higher. The rare for Chipendale and Sheraton patterns of the finer lines is greater than ever. Chairs especially fetch astonishing prices. Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chipendale chair of rare pattern, though it be out of repair. A collector in this city paid the other day $775 for a Chipendale armchair, Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $50 and $100.—New York letter. The only way to get rid of some people is to lend them money.

She is not averse to taking off her shoes and stockings once in @ while and dabbling her feet in the water when no one {s looking. That, again, shows how she has broken away from the bounds which once confined her. When the weather prevents out-of- door exercise the modern girl does not mope in the house and read nov- els.

An Unusual Edifice Put Up by the Baptists of Elmhurst, L. 1. Built of cobblestones and on lines suggested by an old monastery of feudal times the new Baptist Church at Elmhurst, L, I, is one of the most novel bits of church architecture on Long Island, The church stands on Whitney avenue and ever since its picturesque walls began to take shape it has attracted attention.

Early in the morning a well-groomed stranger drove up to the Voorhees residence and asked if the Voorhees property was for sale. Voorhees told him that the farm could be bought, and the stranger was shown through the house and a tour was made of the farm. ‘The prospective purchaser seemed to be pleased with the lay of the land and was going over the details of a bargain when a man coming down the road stopped them and asked the way to New Brunswick. He claimed to be from Alabama and said that he had lost his way. The fellow pre- tended to be insane and pulled a roll of greenbacks and a pack of cards out of his pocket. At the sight of the cards Voorhees ‘became suspicious. The man with the roll said he wanted to get rid of the money, but could find nobody to take it, He handed each of the men in the carriage a fivedollar bill. Voorhees stuck the greenback in his vest pocket and, jumping out of the carriage, bade the men good-bye, telling them that the game was too old for that locality. ‘The man from Alabama suddenly re- covered his reason and, leaping into the carriage, he was rapidly driven in the direction of Princeton, swear. ing a blue streak as he went.

On the same day that it was made it was placed in the jug, sealed and dated, and has been handed down with the understanding that it was not to be opened for 100 years. Those who have handled the jug say that it appears from the shaking as if about half of the liquor had evaporated and that the remainder is about as thick as sugar-tree molasses, Alexander also has ten jars of peach preserves that were put up fifty-three years ago.

Vet the Figures Sent Out by the De partment of Commerce and Labor Simply Show Real Conditions of the Country’s Industrial Progress. The Springfleld Republican Is great- ly exercised over the bulletins sent cut by the Bureau of Statistics, which has now been transferred from the Treasury department to the Depart- ment of Commerce and Labor. The Republican does not attempt to im- pugn the accuracy or trath of the In- formation sent out, its only objection being, apparently, that the bulletins help the cause of protection by chron: {cling the prosperous condition of the country, as shown in both our foreign and home commerce. It says: “These government specials to the news: papers average two or three a week, and as high tariff preachments they are not excelled by anything the American Protective Tariff League is doing.” That is both high praise for the department and in itself the full- ‘st possible vindication of the wisdom of the framers of the Dingley law. The articles sent out once or twice a week by Mr. Austin are summaries for the most part of our foreign com- merce and our internal trade. They are generally actual figures, with once in a while the figures for a single month estimated, but always very conservatively, Almost since the very beginning’ of the government it has been thought a matter of wisdom to give to the country the fullest pos- sible statistics concerning our trade, particularly our foreign trade. For the past half century have these fig- ures been given out quite in detail, and there is no one but the most hope- less pessimist who will not acknowl- edge that such information is not only instructive but aimost invaluable. If, then, such figures are worth while to collect and print once a year, as 1s done in the “Statistical Abstract,” or ‘once a month, as is done in the “Sum mary of Commerce and Finance." then surely a weekly or even a daily gathering of similar figures must be both interesting and of value to ail those concerned. As regards the “promotion of the high tariff propaganda,” the honest figures of the country’s industrial ad vance during the last five years must tend to that very end. Mr. Austin does not manufacture his figures or his facts; he simply compiles and re ports them, as he finds them on the of ficial or authoritative records. As the Republican says: “These figures are spread out in spectally prepared arti cles and mailed to the press for pub: lication on a specified day.” This Is true, and a large portion of the press of the country feel deeply indebted to Mr. Austin and his associates for this work, The busy editor has neither the means nor the time to collect these figures and present them to his readers as he would like to. The Bureau of Statistics is intended for the very purpose, and the result of its work 1s the property of the public. The disloyal papers which do not want to publish anything reflecting credit upon their country will leave them alone; the papers who are proud of their country’s record in in dustry as well as war publish them, or a part of them, as they see fit Evidently the Republican man ts mad clear through because the coun try did not go to the demnition bow wows during the late decline in stocks. He no doubt had hin famous editorial, “I told you so,” all ready. and being left high and dry by a flurry instead of a panic, he, of course, must ket even somewhere, and so he gov for Mr. Austin and the “high tarif propaganda.” A newspaper that finds fault with the publications of honest facts and figures calling attention to the progress of the country, either in its foreign or domestic trade, no mat ter from what sources or for what pur pose the figures emanate and are pro: mulgated, 1s not to be appeased by ‘anything short of absolute free trade and the most panicky of panics that could possibly follow. The figures sent out from Washington to the newspapers aro not like the weather reports, which are purely guess work: or the crop reports, which are not ab solute, but simply estimates founded upon certain conditions. On the eon- trary, these figures of trade and com merce are actual reports of secom Plishment, and for that reason canno! be considered in any way as promot ing any fiscal policy, When our bal ance of trade Is six hundred millions we are told so, and when It falls below four hundred millions we are told that. We are simply told the truth fr €ach and every case, no matter what it 1s or what brought it about or wha\ will be its effect, and every impartial honest editor in the country, as wel as every loyal reader, has ‘nothing but thanks to express to the depart ment and to the statistician who fur nishes us with these interesting fig ures and facts concerning our {p dustrial progress, WOULD DESTROY CONFIDENCE Cuban Reciprocity Treaty Would Af fect Michigan Prosperity. Congressman Fordney writes to the American Economist as follows: Saginaw, West Side, Mich., July 25 1903. Editor American Economist New York. Dear Sir: Apropos tc your strenuous fight for protection ‘and incidentally against the propose: Cuban reciprocity measure, | inclose a clipping from a local paper which foes to show what the Americar sugar beet and beet sugar Industries iaay develop into if given the same chance in the future which they have had in the past. What is true of Michigan, will in time be true of other states, if confidence in the business Is not destroyed by harmfu legislation, I* may be urged that & 20 per cent cut will not destroy the industry, That might be true, but it certainly will destroy confidence ft the industry and retard its develop ment, to say the least, And ts at American congress going to. strike this all important enterprise, as wel as others, a body blow, simply to as sist the Cuban farmer, on the surface rusts Respectlully, J. W. FORDNEY. The newspaper clipping to. which Congressman Fordney alludes is from the Courier-Herald of Saginaw, Mich. an Important. center of the sugar beet and beet sugar factories. ‘Tho article is headed “Don't Monkey With the Sugar Beet,” and is intended to show the vital importance of sugar beet cul: ture in that part of Michigan as af. fecting the prosperity alike of the farmers and the wage earners who find employment in the beet fields. For example, two girls, both under thirteen years of age, last week re colved $13.69 apiece for weeding sugar beets, This one item ix pointed out as an inkling of tho reason why the agricultural interest of this section of the state stands so solidly against anything proposed at Washington that hears any menace to the beet sugar industry; and also why Congressman Fordney last fall had the good will of the people of the country” districts of the Bight Congressional district vithout regard to thelr party connec: tions, The Courier-Herald closes by aying: “The sugar beet has been @ potent and large factor in the prosparity of this section of Michigan.

Sirs: In response to your inquiry, I beg to say your publication is duly entered as second class matter at this office and regularly mailed. Very respectfully, J. H. HARRIS, Postmaster. The Rising Son is the only paper published by Colored people in Kansas City, Mo., that is entered at the post office as second class mail. Negroes, get homes and get money. Get business along all lines, and self respect. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you, and the race problem will solve itself. The time for the opening of the schools of Kansas City is fast ap proaching. As yet we know of no disposition on the part of the School board to better the facilities for the colored schools in the way of improvements on the buildings, etc. We trust that the matter is not going to be over looked. The question has been asked: "Which is he greater necessity, the raising of the teacher's salaries or the erection of one or two decent buildings for the Negro school children?" THEOPORE SMITH The only pharmacy in this city owned and conducted by a colored man is that of Theodore Smith, Pharmaceutical Doctor, at 908 East Twelfth street. Dr. Smith is a graduate of Howard university and is registered in three states. He employs three clerks who are also registered. His business consists largely of filling prescriptions which come to him personally or by 'phone from the ten colored physicians of the city. An errand boy is employed whose principal duties are to deliver these prescriptions to all parts of the city. The store is well supplied with all that goes to make up a first-class drug store, including a soda fountain in charge of a clerk whose sole duty is to wait upon the thirsty public. Inquiry has developed the fact that the business is rapidly increasing and prosperous. The commercial agents speak well of the proprietor and rate him as a substantial business man in good credit and standing at bank and with the trade—Kansas City World. "He sure that our sins will find us out." A few days ago Sheriff Mendenhall of Wyandotte county, Kas., went to Musgooge, L. T., and brought back to Kansas City, Kas., one Henry P. Ewing, who at one time was the Manager of the Kansas City Embalming and Casket Company. He is charged with embezzling $100 from a poor widow woman, in the person of Mrs. Mollie Julias, whose residence is on Freeman street near Ninth street. We are informed that there are many more similar charges against this man. He has long been known as "Tatoe" King of the Kaw Valley. The special election for municipal bonds will come off shortly. The bonds are to be voted upon for the improvement of the parks, city hospital, water works, etc. The most important of these is the water works, which proposition should carry without fail. It is time that Kansas City should be placed in a position of safety from water famine and fire. Colonel Milton Moore, of the School Board, says that the Board of Education is spending the funds realized from the bond measure too fast and that it must call a halt. The Negro school patrons and taxpayers have said, one to the other: "I wonder if the School Board is going to spend the entire million dollars realized from the recent bond elections without fulfilling a single one of the many promises it made the Negroes when their votes in favor of the measure were asked for. Yes, they were promised a manual training school and ought to have it. They were promised better school-houses and ought to have them. The Son can point out several Negro school-houses that are not as good as an ordinary barn. But the negroes are powerless and must rely upon the integrity and honor of the members of the board. President Roosevelt's advice to the people on the question of mob violence and the brutal burning of Negroes should be upheld by all conscientious and liberty loving people of the United States. His idea upon the subject is right, fair and impartial. The Rev. Dr. Babbitt, a Christian gentleman of Brooklyn, N. Y., who believes that the majesty of the law of this country should be upheld by all true Americans, has answered Mr. Graves of Georgia by saying: "Lynchers are brutal, savage murderers." He assumes that more morality, less prejudice, stricter law quickly applied, fair play to the negro and the white man alike would reduce the danger of the race question and the mob problem.

The Anglo-Saxon is the natural prey of the art forgery-monger, and the modern antiques which are manufactured for him constitute the livelihood of the whole countrysides on the Arno, and the Tiber, on the Nile, and on the Jordan. Innocent peasant-looking people dig up these antiques before the eyes of the unsuspecting tripper! And when the fool goes off with his folly, the simple, guileless peasant quietly buries another example of the same object in the same hole for the benefit of the next tourist who may come along.—Magazine of Art. BRIEF TRAILERS There are misers of more things than money. The selfish man does not even enjoy his own company. A family name stands only as a recommendation to whom it may concern. When a man's spirits are on the ebb he says he hasn't the ghost of a show. The willing horse is not ignorant of the fact that it is frequently overloaded. When you hear a man barking in a barroom, you can tell that he is going to the dogs. People of the least capacity usually undertake the greatest number of intricate studies. "They say" is the convenient, much quoted and wholly unreliable neighborhood authority. If every man got all that he thinks is coming to him, there wouldn't be anything left to divide among the rest. Some people will blow in a dollar and a half for a theater ticket, and then kiss a cent three times before they drop it on the collection plate at church. TOLD IN FIGURES. About 20,000 automobiles are in use in the United States. The lowest priced vehicle at the New York automobile show was $500; the highest $1,800. American tourists annually spend abroad an average of $75,000,000 and foreign tourists leave about $20,000,000 here. Americans bought in Paris last year $25,000 worth of goose liver pie, $28,000 worth of human hair, and $120,000 worth of mushrooms. The highest point to which a man has ever climbed is 23,080 feet to the summit of the Andean peak, Aconcagua. The feat was accomplished by two men sent out by the Royal Geographical society. W. B.

When They Lived "100 Years Ago" Elinor glanced roguishly at the young man sitting dejectedly beside her on the sand at Milton point. "You may have as many minutes as this sand takes to run through my fingers," she said, taking up a handful of warm, white sand from the beach. "And then if you continue to be disagreeable and cross, I'll—well, never mind, you'll regret it, Mr. Jack Robinson." She let the soft sand trickle slowly through her sun-burned fingers like a minute glass as she hummed carelessly, softly, "If I But Knew." The young man turned impatiently and looked out across the broad expanse of water. How easily the white-winged yachts skimmed over the water. He wished his little craft of love would run so smoothly. "Elinor," he said turning to her, "will you stop singing that song?" "When your present fit of ill temper blows over," she retorted, watching the last few grains of sand fall from her fingers. "If I but knew your heart was true," she hummed on, ignornig him. "See here, what can I do to prove to you that I am sincere?" He watched her dust the sand from her pretty palm. "Do? You make me feel like a princess of 'ye olden time.' Then brave knights won fair ladies by acts of courage, but now—" "Yes, now?" he said, looking up at her eagerly. "O now we don't even take a man's word for anything." And Ellinor laughed, a merry, captivating laugh, which chased away the frowns from Jack's brow. He could never be angry with her for long. "Suppose we play we are living 100 years ago," she said, after a minute. "I'll play anything you like." "And do an thing I like?" she asked, looking at him dubiously. Her tone was half-serial, half-playful. "Anything," he replied, firmly. That is provided you'll accept that as proof that I love you. I've said all I can to no avail." Elinor did not reply nor look up; she was tracing her name in the sand—thinking. She had tried to believe Jack, but, somehow, at times, she doubted that he really meant all he said. "He was such a serious sort of a fellow, and she—O, she was frivolous and scatter-brained, according to her own estimate of herself. Why should he love her? And yet, why should he say so if he did not? At last she covered the sand letters over and looked up. "Jack," she said, "would you really do anything for me? Even if it was silly and—and awfully dangerous—just to prove to me that you like me?" "Not to prove that I like you, but M. W. She Let the Soft Sand Trickle Slowly Through Hes Sunburned, Fingers Through Her Sunburned Fingers. that I love you—yes." He laughed a little at her serious face. "Do you see that big rock out there?" She pointed to a large rock just in the edge of the now low tide. "I do." "You know when the tide is high it is a long distance from the shore? The water almost covers it and splashes around it and makes a terrible noise." "Does it?" he asked. amused. "Yes, and unless one is a very good swimmer one cannot possibly get me until the tide goes out again, if one is caught out there. It would be awful to stay there all night." Elinor shivered at the very thought of it. Should she go on? "And what then? Who ever stayed out there all night?" he asked, knowing well what was coming. "Why—why, nobody," she hesitated. "Would you do it?" "Do you ask me to?" He looked at her intently. She was building a pyramid of sand. "I—I'd believe you if you did." she said at length, and looked into his eyes to see how he would receive the suggestion. "And you'd like to believe me, Ellinor? Tell me that—but, no, don't; I'll do it. Are we not living a hundred years ago?" Elinor wished now that he had promised to do it, that she had not asked it. Suppose a storm should come up and the waves would dash over the rock and sweep him off and—and he was not able to swim far enough to reach the shore. "Jack," she said, a little nervously, "let's move forward a hundred years; I don't like it way back here. I—I might believe you." But Jack would not pass over the century so quickly. He would do as she had asked him; he would spend A woman is sitting in a boat, holding a paddle. She is wearing a white shirt and a black collar. The background is a dark, cloudy sky. Stroke by Stroke She Pulled Out Toward the Big Rock. the night on the big rock and then she might believe him. Elinor sat in the window of their summer cottage on the shore and watched the tide come in, wave by wave. One by one the shadows fell and the figure out on the rock became less and less distinct. At last she had to go out to the beach to see it at all. Higher and higher grew the water mark about the rock and yet the figure did not move; it sat on the topmost point, looking out over the sound. At last it was too dark to see the figure on the rock and Elinor walked up and down the beach in front of the cottage. She was supposed to have retired, but somehow it seemed to useless to pretend to sleep. She wondered if the ladies in the centuries long ago slept on as usual while their knights were in danger. O, she wished tomorrow would come when she might live again in the twentieth century. The searchlight of a sound steamer was thrown on the rock, and by its light she could see the waves break and smash about the ragged edges. Running close to the water's edge, she looked up and down for a skiff, one of the old flat boats she and Jack so often fished in. Finding one far up on the shore, she dragged it down to the water and jumped in. Stroke by stroke she pulled out toward the big rock, but the tide was strong and the boat heavy. It seemed hours before she came anywhere near it. "Jack, Jack!" she called. "I'm—O it's such hard pulling." "Ellnor," was all Jack said as he took hold of the rope with one hand and hers with the other. The place was not nearly so rough as it had looked from a distance. "Jump in," she said. "But the night hasn't begun yet," he replied, still standing on the rock. "What," she almost gasped. "I thought it must surely be morning and that it was never going to get light." "It's only 11—and that wasn't late 100 years ago." "Get in, Jack," she said, impatiently. She hoped no one was on the shore to see. "I would, 'if I but knew,'" he said, meaningly. "Then know, Jack, and do come." As Jack walked home from the little cottage that night he thought 100 years was the shortest space of time imaginable. He broke into a happy whistle: "If I but knew—if I but knew!"—Ruby Douglas in Boston Globe. Work a Watch Does. Everybody carries a watch nowadays—men, women, girls and boys. Prices range from $1 to as many thousands as one cares to expend in jeweled settings. The $1 watch often keeps just as good time as the $5,000 one. Did you ever consider the amount of labor performed by a good watch in its lifetime of fifty years? The balance vibrates 18,000 times an hour, 432,000 times a day, or 157,600,000 times a year. The hairspring makes an equal number of vibrations and there is the same number of ticks from the escapement. Multiply 157,600,000 by fifty and you have 7,884,000,000 pulsations. Yet the watch is in good condition at the end of half a century of labor. we have recently added to our already complete line of LADIES CHILDREN'S & BOY'S SHOE STOCK.

"Carlyle translated some fairy tales from the German, and these tales from Tleck and Musaeus are examples of English prose as beautiful as the heart could desire. Swinburne translated Villon, and so did Rossetti, who gave us, furthermore, paraphrases of the Italian poets that equal the originals in charm. That is the test of translation—that it shall equal in beauty the original—and I think there should be a law requiring every great writer to translate at least one great book. But our good men can't afford to make translations; the pay is too miserable. It is impossible to get for translating a novel of 125,000 words more than about $250. There is only $2 per 1,000 words, and there is no living in it at such figures."—Philadelphia Record. A. VETERAN BAILROAD MAN. A VETERAN RAILROAD MAN Mr. H. L.

AS A WOMAN SEES IT. What a shock it would be to some men if their offers of marriage were accepted. The man who will allow a woman to do the courting will allow her to do the supporting. It is the engaged man who feels free to tell every girl that woman's proper sphere is marriage. Men avoid the fashionable summer resorts because it costs so much to take the chaperons about. A man never seems to realize that it is the woman who wears a No. 3A who cannot keep her shoelaces tied. Ambition should be called the yeast of life, and every child taught how to use the correct amount to obtain the desired effect. A man will laugh at a sentimental woman, yet sleep with her handkerchief under his pillow.--New York Herald.

MISS WARD RECEIVES AN OFFER FROM AN OPERA CO. Miss Marguerite Ward who filled a two years engagement with the Blind Boone company and who won a high reputation as a singer, has received an offer from a large Opera company in the East to go on the stage as a vocal artist. At the present time Miss Ward is taking voice culture and will perhaps avail herself of the offer made by the Opera company. During her engagement with the Blind Boone Co., whose employ she left to attain the acme of ability in her chosen profession, she was spoken of by the press in glowing terms, and as being one of the best contralto singers in the West, Miss Ward is a lady of culture and education and is admired for her ability and worth. At present Miss Ward is living at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cook, at 3116 East 9th street. BY OUR OWN SAGE Never draw a sight draft on a blind man. Too many quarrels are picked before they are ripe. You can't convince a brunette that all is fair in love. Prejudice roosts on a perch from which facts are barred. It's safer to learn from your enemies than it is to instruct your friends. Men never know as much about anything as women know about dress. There's nothing like leather—with the possible exception of a Welsh rare-bit. There may be a lot of credit due a man's wife, but she usually demands cash. Every man's house is his castle until he makes an assignment—then it's his wife's. The smoker who has a good cigar and nothing to light it with knows what matchless misery really is. It was so cold in Chicago recently that a pickpocket who happened to touch a $10 gold piece immediately froze to it. Had Diogenes visited this country while on his famous still hunt some get-rich-quick promoter would have swiped his lantern. WITH THE SAGES. Know thyself and do thine own work, says Plato; and each includes the other and covers the whole duty of man.—Montaigne. Truth, justice and reason lose all their force, and all their lustre, when they are not accompanied with agreeable manners.—Thomson. The best rules to form a young man are—to talk little, to hear much, to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinion, and value others that deserve it.—Sir William Temple. Duty's path always opens for us as we go on; not before we start, but as we obey and move forward. The difficulties and obstacles may be made stepping stones by which we shall rise to higher things.—J. R. Miller. When in the company of sensible men, we ought to be doubly conscious of talking too much, lest we lose two good things—their good opinion and our own improvement! for what we have to say we know, but what they have to say we know not—Colton. The covetous man heaps up riches, not to enjoy, but to have them; he starves himself in the midst of plenty; cheats and makes a hard shift to be as poor and robs himself of that which is his own, miserable with a great estate as any man can be without it—Tillotson. "Old Wine" Theory Exploded. There is hardly a man who does not believe that the old wine is the best wine, yet a short time ago some cases of claret were sold in London at $25 a bottle, of the famous "Comet" vintage of 1811, and the wine was found to be utterly worthless. It was simply worn out with age. Wine experts and wealthy connoisseurs had come from great distances to buy the wine at any price, and were edified upon opening it to find it was as flat as soda water. In the same way, not long since, a quantity of hock from the cellars of a country house, of the year preceding Napoleon's retreat from Moscow, fetched $20 per bottle, and was found to have lost everything except color. Buenos Avres' Great Docks. The first thing that strikes you on landing at Buenos Aires is its docks, which extend for five miles along the river front, says St. Nicholas. They were built by an English firm, and were completed in 1897. They are most solidly constructed, supplied with numerous modern steam cranes and are brilliantly lighted with electricity at night. They cost the city and nation seven million pounds sterling, or $35,000,000. So great is the amount of shipping, however, that not the docks alone, but the small river Riachuelo is crowded with vessels. Indeed, one wonders how a ship, once entered, can ever manage to get out.

When the United States military transport Sherman arrived at Manila recently she was, as is the case with ‘most other ships that arrive from or touch @t Hong Kong on the way to “Manila, detained for inspection to see if she had any rats on board. When the big transport dropped anchor in Manila bay, therefore, the offictal rat inspector went on board to see what was dofng in the way of rodents, In less than fifteen minutes he hurriedly left the ship, and, going ashore, re- ported that there was on board the Sherman, according to the patent rat enumerator in use at Manila, no fewer than 950,000 rats, ‘The Sherman was tmmediately or- dered to the quarantine station at Mariveles, as no ship on which the disease carrying rodents are found is allowed to dock at Manila until they ave exterminated, Accordingly the Sherman steamed back to Mariveles. When she arrived there her hatehes had been opened up and enough sul- phur carried below: to kill millions. of tats. As soon as the anchor was dropped the sulphur fires were started in the hold, and in a few minutes the work of the fumes became apparent, Out of the hatehes there poured such @ stream of rats as was never before seen in the Orient. First by the hundreds, and then by the thou- sands, they appeared at the hatches, and then leaped into the water, Every one tried to swim ashore, but the dis tance was far too great for any rat to swim, and soon the great black line of paddling rodents began to thin out. Some of them reached a point about 300 yards off the ship, but none got auy farther, After the fumes had been working for about an hour the rats stopped appearing, An inspection of the ship was made and not a rat diseovered. ‘The Sherman then entered Manila and discharged hee cargo.—Manila American.

EARTHED IN SIBERA. Expedition Sent Out by St Peters- burg Academy of Sciences Returns With Skeleton of the Only Mam- moth Ever Found, Writing in the New York Press, Otto Herz, leader of the Russian mam- moth expedition, says: ~The expedition sent out by the Im- perlal Academy of Sciences in Bt. Potersburg to dig out and carry home the frozen cadaver of a prehistoric mammoth discovered on the shores of the little Beresowka river, in Northeastern Siberia, managed to se- cure the remains in excellent condi- tion, The mammoth has now been set up in the zoological museum of the society, reconstructed exactly, as was made possible by the large amount of material, The preservation of the remains is vest shown by the fact that the skin waved by us weighed 800 pounds alone. Only a part of the skin over the back of the skull and the trunk were miss- ing. These had been destroyed most- ly by wild animals. The skin over the skull was easy to reproduce, as we knew exactly what it had been like, But the trunk has not been re- constructed entirely, because we are still In the dark as to the true ap- pearance of its extremity. As there was a great deal of bair left on the parts of the mighty body, we have been able to mount the beast so as to show how heavily this ele phant was furred, It was easy to wn- derstand how the creature managed to survive even extreme cold weather and to bear it in comfort. This mammoth, which has been ly- ing frozen in the earth for 20,000 years, according to the estimate of our geologists, has been stuffed in the exact position in which we found ft in the place of its death, Even the surroundings have been reproduced SS ¢ Y \ rf - \S -< Sys Se sas, agi) THE STUSTED MAMMOTH IN POSTION: LDMACTIY as lT was rouno ww SIBERIA minutely, 89 that the beholder can see just how the excavations were made to bring the creature to the light of ay, The expedition carried back with it large quantities of earth, in order to make the whole exhibit an exact picture. The skeleton has been mounted feparately and in a standing posture. Only a few ribs and the right tusk are missing. The tail proves to be de cidedly shorter than that of the ele- ‘phant of today. It has only twenty- two vertebrae, whereas the ele- ‘phant’s tail contains thirty and more. ‘The hair of the tail was well pre: served by the ice and almost twenty inches long, very bushy and coal- black in color, The appearance of the body led us to conclude that the beast had been Killed suddenly through a fall from the heights above its grave, a number of fractures in the bones pointing to the same conclusion, Whatever it was that happened, the colossus cer- tainly made one last effort to arise. Its left forefoot still was bent and raised, evidently reaching for higher ground, while the right one was braced against the earth. The hind legs were bent under the body. Earth evidently hurtled down from above the dying beast, and probably buried it almost completely. ‘The dead body must have frozen {mme- diately, for a great part of the meat was preserved perfectly. It had a dark, red, blood color, but the ex- posure caused it to send out such an odor that none of us had the nerve to taste it, The fat was well preserved and easy to cut. It felt spongy to the touch and was as thick as three inches in places, proving that the mammoth had plenty of food in its cold home. ‘The stomach was complete and con- tained a great mass of food that re- mained undigested. This food has hot been examined scientifically as yet, War wey \ Hy Wy BS il, aN Ww ’ Ny ZG / Wh i} AN psi” Lowte SAW Witt THETONGUE but it is determined that the mam- moth fed only on grasses and similar matter. Remnants of pine needles were found in the stomach. The tongue was in equally fine condition and has been preserved in alcohol, That the mammoth died almost at once after falling ts shown by: the fact that between the tongue and the left grinder we found food which the animal had been chewing. Evidently it died before it could swallow this last mouthful, The greatest amount of halr was found on the left forefoot. It is short, extremely thick woolly hair, un- derneath, and a stiff upper coat of yelowish brown hair about seven inches long, a fur coat such as few other animals carry. In the territory where the mam- moth was found mighty masses of earth topple into the rivers each spring, and it was through such a landslide that the first sign of the buried monster appeared. It was a tusk which @ wandering Lamute found while searching for fossi! {vory, of which there 1s enough in this region to make a profitable bus: iness for the nomads of Siberia . He sold the tusk in the nearest town and told of the mammoth whese body he had seen protruding from the frozen earth. The police in Crea Ree ie fA ry | | NA Srdne-Kolymsk sent a message to the xovernor of Irkutzk, and he notified the society. When we reached the spot it was winter and everything was frozen so hard that it was quite impossible to do anything in the open air. So we built a hut over the body and kept {t heated day and night. Thus we suc- ceeded in cutting it up. As each piece was cut off it was wrapped in grass, bandaged and then stitched Into hides. As we had to make our way for many hundreds of miles through trackless tundras to get back to a settlement of any kind, we could not think of transporting pieces greater in weight than 200 pounds or 50, and even as it was we had immense difficulty in carrying the invaluable find safely over the thousands of miles of waste to Russian territory. We had to go by water and land, on foot, with horses and with rein- deer in various stages of the journey, and it was with a vast relief that we finally delivered the remnants intact to the civilized world, CHURCH MANY CENTURIES OLD. ‘One of Few Ancient Edifices Remain- ‘tan in Qaaland: ‘The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is one of the four round churches still remaining in England, the others be- ing the Temple Church, London; the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Cam: bridge; and the Church of St. John of Jerusalem, Little Maplestead.

No extensive change was made In the church for a century, but between 1375 and 1400 great works were undertaken, The upper portion of the Round was taken down and re-erected as it now appears, The massive tower and spire were built at the west of the Round, and are of fine proportions. The south aisle, the old east end, and the south porch were erected at the same _ period. From the Reformation until 1851 the church grew more and more dilapl- dated, until {t became a disgrace to the town. In that year, however, a strong committee was formed, funds were collected and the work of resto. ration was begun in 1860, Another bay was added to the nave, a second aisle on the north, a new choir with a chapel on each side, vestry and apse at the east end, ‘Baney Bese Clear a Street.

The bees took possession of the street, and when bicycle riders and wagon drivers suddenly found themselves stung by angry bees, there were many strenuous flights to safety. Labor on Persian Rugs.

Without beans the great timber for. ests, of Maine could certainly never have been cut and sent down the riv- ‘ers to tho mills, says a writer in the ‘Boston Journal, Every one knows that, of course, And the first thing that was attended to at the cite of ‘& new camp, either fot choppers or drivers, was the bean hole. Of course @ great many cocks liked one bean hole so well that they used to carry {t with them until it was all full of other holes and worn out. Occasion ally, now, away up in the Maino woods, where the witherlicks roam and fight the sidehill loungers, you will find old bean holes tattered and torn and thrown aside. Occasionally some New York sports- man in these days will patch up one of those old holes and use it in the woods, But if they have a Maine guide along he will make a brand new hole just off at one side of the camp. He will dig it about two feet deep and big enough to hold a bushel bas- ket, if he wanted to put a basket there. Then on the bottom he will pile dry limbs and pine cones, cob- pile fashion, and will set fire to them. And for an hour or more he will feed that fire, throwing in more fuel and occasionally tossing @ round rock down into the hole, And at last, well Into the edge of the evening, the hole will be pretty well filled with ruddy embers and glowing stones. ‘Then in the iron camp kettle he will pack the soaked beans that have been parbolling in the fresh lake water, With them there'll be pork and mustard and an onion, and then he'll dig a round hole down into those embers and set that seething kettle there. He will tell the gaping sportsmen to stand back and then he'll rake the coals all over the top of the kettle and tramp down around it the glowing stones, and over all he will heap the dirt and tho sods, ‘That's all till morning! Then the guide will scrape away i eS ED Ppt ee i te tipi Vt ee Wi AY Pare AY, pad Vitemipatt Vy YiSsok eR NY Up a Mi (| rY 77, Yn Rey LY pp e=K LY YU S| (yy UML the dirt and stick a hooked pole un der that kettle bail and boost it out of that hole.

Antarctic Eccentricities. Some of the seamen returned to New Zealand from the Discovery, who have ha¢ experience of both the Arc- tie and Antarctic, say that the cold In the latter is less severe and the atmosphere drier. A curious phe- nomenon they did not expect, and cannot explain, is the fact that the cold winds in the Antarctic were usually north, while the comparative: ly warm winds were southerly, They saw {icebergs of the most fantastic shapes, resembling houses, churches and steamers.
