Republican Headlight, September 9, 1904. Prof. Lynch opened his forty-second year of school yesterday morning. Many years has he presided here in Salem, and many who were his pupils 25 to 40 years ago were present to see their children started in their year's work. Several of the present members of the School Board received their education under his tutorship. The Salem Band was present and furnished music for the occasion. Numerous speeches were made by those present. G. W. Peck mentioned the fact that he went to Prof. Lynch 25 years ago. G. W. Powell, for many years a resident of Hawkins' Bank neighborhood attended Prof Lynch's school at Steelville soon after the close of the war. He made the remark that his sole object in coming to Salem was to place his children under the direction of his own former teacher. We have not space to enumerate the many who made appropriate remarks, but J. J. Cope hit the nail on the head when he told the pupils that a fine school house nor gifted professor would make men and women of them, but that they had got to work. That the professor loves his work is evidenced by the fact that he has refused an offer of $3,000 per year by an influential company to take up another line of work. The Professor has faith in his native section, and is one of the most prompt to boost anything that tends to the development of South Missouri. NEW YEAR'S EVE AT ALLEN CHAPEL. The sermon preached by Rev. Mr. Collins, presiding elder of the Fifth Episcopal district, was very suitable for the occasion—"Watch as Well as Pray." Gate Keeper Is Responsible.

LEXINGTON NEWS. Prof. Jacobs and Mr. Smith of Richmond, Mo., the guests of Miss Carrie Wolfe, were here Monday. Miss Lutie Jackson, of Independence, Mo., and Miss E. Caves of Kansas City, are the guests of Miss Glover Hawkins this week. The U. B. F.'s and the S. M. T.'s entertainment and the drill of the camp was excellent. The captain, Charles Holmes, deserves much credit for the training of his men. Mrs. Sprawlining of Kansas City, is the guest of Mrs. John Jackson this week. Mr. Noble Green and Mr. Thomas Davis of St. Louls are here spending the holidays with their parents. Mr. George Web was taken to Kansas City, Kan., to St. Margaret's hospital Sunday morning, by Mr. James Jacobs. Miss Olethea Saunders returned home from G. R. Smith's college to spend a few days during the holidays, returned home Wednesday. Quarterly meeting will be held at the M. E. church Sunday, January 1st, the last quarter for this conference year. Rev. Young has done good work this year, and he invites every one to come out. Mr. A. W. Walker left Thursday and will be out of the city for the next 20 days. Mr. George Shelby is quite ill. Mrs. Estella Blackwell of Kirkwood has moved back here again. Mr. Hunter of Kansas City is here visiting his son, Mr. Wm. Hunter, proprietor of the restaurant. Peat in Sweden. The total quantity of peat in Sweden is estimated to equal a supply for two centuries of the present coal import to that country. No Doubt.

This institution that is struggling so hard for existence should receive the hearty support of all the colored people of this city, for through it we can demonstrate our ability to maintain an institution, a thing that is being more and more questioned by our white citizens. They say we can start schemes, collect a few dollars to further these schemes, but we cannot stick to any one thing long enough or deny ourselves small pleasures to carry on what our friends give us the money to start. The ladies of the Phyllis Wheatley Art Club did a most timely thing when they gave a bazaar for the benefit of the home. They cleared $123.45, turned it over to the home with the request that it be paid upon the indebtedness on the property. This, with $25 from the Armour Packing Company and $5 from Mr. Gardiner Lathrop, enabled the managers to make a payment of $150. This reduces the whole indebtedness to $634.40, with all taxes and interest paid up to August 1, 1904. Rev. W. H. Wheeler had arranged to hold public services at the home last Sunday afternoon, but the serious illness of Miss Shepherd prevented the carrying out of this plan, which was to be the beginning of monthly services held by all of the colored churches, each in turn. A report of the Christmas donations will be given next week. THE SALVATION ARMY'S CHRIST MAS DINNER. The Salvation Army's Christmas feast was enjoyed by a large number of people. No color line was drawn. A great many of our people find fault with these practical Christians who are doing so much for the masses. They say Negroes do not get that hearty reception that is given the whites, but these fault-finders have never stopped to consider that the leaders of the Salvation Army are human beings. It has rather cooled their ardor to see so many well dressed Negroes pass by and never drop a penny or a nickel into the box at the street corner. Fair of Neaucalre. An unsuccessful effort has been made in France to revive the fair of Beaucaire on a scale comparable to that of the good old times. These fairs began in the thirteenth century, and gradually rose to such proportions that in 1790, for instance, the business transacted amounted to 40,000,000 francs. Before the middle of the last century the railway changed all this, and to-day the fair is a mere shadow of its former self. Great Country for Wheat. The delta of the Tigris and the Euphrates, now partially a desert and partially a swamp, contains over 5,000,000 acres of land. Perhaps no region of all the regions of the earth is more favored by nature for the production of cereals. It is claimed that wheat in its wild, uncultivated state has its home in the semiarid regions, and that from here it has been transported to every quarter of the globe. London's "Little Italy." Reporting upon the "Little Italy" of one of London's most crowded districts, the health officer of the district says that the Italians are "generally superior" to the English persons who are their neighbors, they also take more care of their children, among whom the death rate is low, and they are sober. Short Cut to Poorhouse. The proprietor of a suburban news paper brought up on a judgment summons at a London court, declared that "running a newspaper was only taking a short cut to the poorhouse." Peacemaker Is Stabbed. Seeing two men fighting in front of his house, M. Dujardin, of the Conservatoire of Music, Paris, took his violin and began to play in order to soothe the combatants by his music. But one of the men at once turned on him and stabbed him, and he was taken in a dying condition to a hospital. Independence Is Expensive. The people of Jersey, Channel islands, refused to carry out the provisions of the new British militia law, so the British government withdrew the regiment always hitherto stationed on the island. The islanders are out at least $550,000 a year thereby, and are inclined to regret their independent attitude.

Until recently it was almost universally believed that petroleum was, like coal, derived from fossil vegetation or possibly from animals or fishes of some long past age. Now it is asserted by many scientific men that it may not be of any organic origin, but may be due to subterranean chemical action. Popular Taste Changed Two generations ago an author could not make his heroine successful without constantly calling the slenderness of her waist to the attention of the reader. For certain small mercies let us be duly thankful. The eighteen-inch waist is no longer the basic motif of the popular novel. Virtues of the Amethyst The anymethyst, in days of chivalry, was believed to have great power for good in battles. The wearer was rendered brave, far seeing and honorable. The amethyst was also said to destroy the craving for liquor, which was as prevalent in those days as it is in this. Year of Ocean Disasters The worst year on record for tragedies of the deep was 188182, when the list of "missing" was swollen by the enormous addition of one hundred and forty-seven ships, with an aggregate tonnage of 41,977 tons; and the loss of life was terrible.

Gardiner Lathrop of Kansas City, president of the board of curators, in an address to the students of Missouri University Thursday morning, made it plain that the board of curators is to uphold the policy of clean athletics at the University regardless of the effect it may have upon the result of the games with Kansas or any other institution. "There is something better in athletics than victory," said Mr. Lathrop. "Keep your athletics clean. We'd rather be beaten than resort to anything that savers of professionalism or anything unworthy of the true Missourian. General excellence in athletics among the whole student body is much to be preferred to a few men periodically successful upon the athletic field. The primary function of our being here is not to make foot ball players, but to make students and useful citizens." Character. The habit of industry can be acquired as easily as the habit of idleness. But it is always the man or boy of character who intrenches himself with good habits, and it is always the moral weakling, the characterless person, who becomes the slave of evil habits. Accompagnements are either helps or hindrances to genuine success. High qualities of character alone can make them worth while, mighty, and enduring. Man's Place in the Universe. What is man but the great muscian of the universe? The universe is a great organ with mighty pipes, Space, time, eternity, are like the throats of this great organ; and man, a little creature, puts his fingers on the keys, and wakes the universe to thunders of harmony, stirring up the whole creation to mightiest acclamations of praise.—Charles Spurgeon. Valuable Artificial Fall The Swiss engineers have worked out plans for tapping the Lake of Sils in the Engadine and letting the water drop down the mountain side, thus creating a fall that would yield 50,000 horse power. During the tourist season the lake would resume its normal appearance, owing to the necessity of storing the water. Snow Deer Hard to Capture. The snow deer, a beast nearly as big as the great wapiti, has seldom fallen to the gun of the European. No complete specimen has yet been sent to Europe. In England it is represented only by five skulls and horns in the British museum and as many more in different private collections. The horns are of great size, the record in the number of points, thirteen, is in the British museum. The spread between the tips of the horns is over ground. Little is known about the creature, but it is conjectured that this coloration is protective, harmonizing with patches of snow and black rocks among which it lives.

For if then hast not faith, then goest forth alone! Madeline S. Bridges. The Garment of Praise. Fashions in dress change, and we are glad that they do. Some of them at first sight amuse and amaze us, but they would weary us if they long remained. We rejoice when the bulletin of modes decrees something different, for if it be better, so much the better, and if worse, the memory of the discarded becomes less unpleasant. The ingenuity of man must surely be taxed to produce some of civilized society's designs and patterns. Alas, that dress takes up so much of mortal thought, as though to be well dressed were to be well blessed. Amid the changing wardrobes of humanity from the early fig leaf aprons down to the latest demands of the Parisian costumers, I note some dresses that remain much the same in material and in style and cut. The rough, heavy garments of sackcloth, the habilitiments of mourning, have been known in all ages and worn by all classes. Few are the souls that have not at some time or other worn the weeds of woe. The scarlet robes of royalty have been for the few, but the sackcloth of sorrow has costumed the many. Rent garments have told their story of sorrow and affliction over and over again. If I mistake not, the race will not do away with all somber habiliments for some time to come. But there is a garment as beautiful as these are doleful, a garment which should be found in all wardrobes and which can be properly worn in all seasons and in all climes. The garment of praise befits the human form. There is no soul that may not wear it, with its frills of chant and song, and its furbelows or halledujah. There is no other robe so truly regal as this. It is the right privilege of every soul to praise God. There are elements enough in all lives out of which to fashion the praise garment, nor is there any proper occupation that can at all depreciate it or take from its beauty. Our temples of worship are the proper homes of praise, but God seeks worshipers everywhere, and would have every human habitation made a temple of praise. It is a good thing to give praise unto God. The effect of praise upon the grateful heart is stimulating and strengthening; it is at once restful and recuperative. It is high time with some sorrowful hearts that the garments of mourning and heaviness should be exchanged for this garment of praise. Tears have their victories, but songs boast more triumphs than do tears. The affairs of mortals may in one sense be of a lachrymose character, but the best use to which one can put tears is to look through them at the sun and see all the beautiful hues of the rainbow. The eyes were primarily intended to see with and not to weep with, and he who keeps his eyes busy looking for the bright things in life will see more causes for songs than for sighs. The eyes of such an observer will not be ever bedewed with drops that too often make them red. Even if weeping endured through the night, joy will be found at the door by morning's dawn. The garments of the saints in heaven are garments of praise, aye, and the garments of the redeemed universe will be of the same bright nature, for thus it is written, "And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea and all that are in them, board I saving, Blessing, and honor, and glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever." "There no tongue shall silent be But all shall join the harmony." In other words, the garment of praise will be universal—Henry Force. Power of Patience. Life at best is a struggle. The sea over which we sail to the "morning land" is swept by many a fierce storm. It is certain that each heart knoweth its own bitterness. There are stubborn enemies with which we have to contend; tempests of temptation that sweep our path with all but irresistible fury; nights of darkness, when every star is hidden from our longing eyes; times of shipwreck that leave us with empty hands on the sad shore. We must climb with weary feet many a rugged path. But in spite of all this life is not a losing fight to the soul that will have the victory. The text: "But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing." brings before us a great hope that shines like the north star in the darkest night. We may reach the perfect. If we will we may be "complete and entire" wanting nothing. Life is forever struggling to reach the perfect. Patience will have her perfect work when we are able to work on without worry or fret. It is friction that takes the power out of life. The mightiest forces are noiseless. There is soul friction as well as friction in any other realm. Wherever it is found it makes impossible the best. Patience can have her perfect work only when there is persistent endurance to the end. Patience, born of faith, ripened by endurance, working in calmness, looking forward with hope, mellowed by sacrifices, steadied by the touch of a divine hand will lead to the goal and sanctify life at the last.—Dr. P. H. Swift. The Glad Heart. If you want to do work easily, get a gay, glad heart. You know how hard it is to do anything, how the lessons drag, how the tasks seen to pile up, when you feel a little sad or unhappy. On the contrary, any of us can remember times when the work in hand fairly slow, because our hearts were so glad about something that the fingers had to keep time to their joyous beating. But my thought to day is as to the excellence of the work done, rather than the ease or rapidity of the performance. Good work is almost always joyous. Heart sunshine gets into the painter's colors and brightens all the dull, dead pigments. By and by people get to talking about it. The canvas glows and throbs with the life pulse of genius!" The life-pulse of love and happiness, rather. The painter has told nobody, but they found it out, those careless onlookers. They knew his heart was gay as he painted in that trudging berry picker, those sheep and cattle feeding in the meadows. Might he not have painted the same thing in a trouble-filled house, with new griefs knocking at the door? No, not the same thing. Something must have been lost out, some sad thing have crept in. Our mood gets into everything, whether it is shutting a door or making a picture or poem. So, then, for the sake of the good that we can do, let us shut the door on the whole sulking, frowning crew of ugly feelings, and call in the good little brownies of gladness and good will. We shall wake to find that happy thoughts have noiselessly cleared away our troubles overnight, and fresh light will seem to be poured on the old problems, "bright ideas," find some swift, sure way through all the tangles. Bright, clear, outlooking eyes see better than tear dimmed ones. Every sad and gloomy moment is a waste of power. But can anyone be always glad? He can always keep the attitude of gladness. He can hold his joy cup right side up, so as to catch any drop of gladness. Eyes and lips can learn to smile so easily that little pleasures move them. It is a matter of habit and training, quite as much as of natural temperament, or even of circumstances. That being the case, do not some of us need to make us other habits and start in on a new course of training? Not because we shall be happier, more peaceful, richer every way—that is all true, but it is not the reason. The real motive ought to be that we shall be stronger for our work in the world, whatever it is. "Be strong; be strong"—how the Bible echoes with the inspiring command! And it adds, also by way of explanation "The joy of the Lord is your strength."—Anna Frances Burnham. Obedience Through Suffering. Obedience Through Suffering. It is a happy thing if we can learn obedience by the things which we suffer. Weakness of body and heaviness of mind will, I trust, have this good effect upon you. The particular lesson which you have now to learn is to be faithful in comparatively little things, particularly in conversation. God bath given you a tongue. Why? That you may praise Him therewith; that all your conversation may be, for the time to come, "meet to minister grace to the hearers." Such conversation and private prayer exceedingly assist each other. By resolutely persisting, according to your little strength, in all works of plety and mercy, you are waiting on God in the old scriptural way. And therein he will come and save you. Do not thing he is after off. He is nigh that justifieth, that sanctifeth. Beware you do not thrust him away from you. Rather say: "My heart would now receive three Lord Come in, my Lord, come John Wesley A Prohibition Mining Camp. Great mining corporations are coming to realize what railroad companies have already learned—that sober men are the only employees to be fully trusted. The Troy-Manhattan company, operating at Troy, Arizona, is one of these. Two years ago, when they employed about 125 workmen, their camp included four saloons and on pay day was the scene of root and drunkenness. Although these men were making such improper use of their hard earned money, they asked for higher wages. The company saw an opportunity not only to better the men, but to secure better services, and offered an increase of fifty cents per day with Sunday for a holiday, if in local option election the miners would prohibit the sale of liquor. Not one miner in the camp voted for the saloon. There is not a saloon in that precinct now, and Troy is an enterprising, peaceful camp. Many a man has acquired a reputation for honesty by concealing the truth about his actions. GIVE THESE NEW FANGLED SPECTACLES A TRIAL PRO- TECTION TARIFF REVISION G. O. P. The glasses I already have are very satisfactory. By their aid I see business stability, employment for labor, prosperity and happiness for eighty millions of people. I have no idea of making a change just now. HOME TRADE FIRST COMMAND OF OUR OWN MARKET THE MAIN THING. Vice-President-elect Fairbanks Insists That the Policy of Protection Be Maintained and Defines the Real Republican Kind of Revision and Reciprocity. (Speech of Hon. C. W. Fairbanks at the Dinner of the Home Market club, Boston, Dec. 1, 1904.) We have sought to build up the home market first and thereafter secure a fair share of the markets abroad. We have believed that in order to command foreign markets we must have strength enough to control our own. We have witnessed its rapid increase under the stimulating effect of the protective policy enunciated in the platform adopted at Chicago forty-four years ago. We have seen the value of all manufactures in the United States increase from less than $2,000,000,000 to more than $13,000,000,000 in the period of thirty years preceding the last national census. We have observed our total manufactures rise until they are but little less than the manufactures of the United Kingdom, Germany and France combined. The expansion of our foreign commerce under Republican policy and Republican administration is conclusive evidence of the fact that Republican policies are not restrictive so far as our foreign trade is concerned. In 1860 our exports of manufactured products to other countries amounted to only $102,000,000, while last year they reached the enormous sum of $452,000,000. It would seem the part of wisdom to hold fast to those measures and that administration of public affairs under which such gratifying and unparalleled results have been accomplished. The Republican party has wisely devoted itself to the promotion of all those measures which tend to expand HAS NO USE GIVE NEW F SPEC ATRI PRO- TECTION TARIFF G. O. P.—The glasses I already ha aid I see business stability, employme ness for eighty millions of people. I now. our commerce. It has been liberal in making provision for the improvements of our harbors and rivers. It stands ready to make such further improvements as our national interests shall require. While the tariff question is an old one, it is of continual and vital interest. It must not be overthrown or surrendered either by ignorance or by prejudice; it must be maintained by education, by intelligent discussion. The Republican party has revised tariff schedules in the past, when revision was essential, and it will not hesitate in the future to subject them to careful scrutiny and alteration, so that our protective system may be just in its operation. Whenever change of schedules is essential in the public interest, the alteration will be made; it will be made advised, it will be made with full knowledge, not in response to mere sentiment, but agreeably to sound economic necessity. Any other policy is obviously unwise and disturbing in its tendency. The Republican party adheres to the doctrine of commercial reciprocity, that reciprocity which tends to expand our commerce and to develop American industry in the interest of American labor and American capital. It be¹ to that reciprocity which is the "handmaiden" of protection, but not to that which is but another form of free trade, and which is hostile to the protective system. President McKinley has been quoted by the enemies of protection as favoring the Democratic system of reciprocity. The text of his last great speech gives denial to such pretensions. His utterances were entirely free from ambiguity. No one could misunderstand them who did not desire to do so. He distinctly favored "sensible trade arrangements which will not interrupt our home production." "We should take from our customers," said he, "such of their products as we can use without harm to our industries and labor." And he further declared that, "If perchance some of our tariffs are no longer needed for revenue, or to encourage and protect our industries at home, why should they not be employed to extend and promote our markets abroad?" It will be observed that he kept well in mind the home market and protection to our industry and labor. --- There is in these observations no suggestion of the abandonment by him of the great policy for which he lived and wrought so well. There is to be found here no evidence of any purpose upon his part to yield the home market in the delusive hope of possessing foreign markets which would compensate for the loss. A great responsibility rests upon the Republican party. It is not overawed by it, yet fully realizes its significance. It has always had the courage and wisdom to meet the responsibility laid upon it by the American people. We realize that all of the great problems of government have not been solved; that there are many awaiting us in the future which will tax our patriotism and our capacity to govern. The Republican party faces the future with a full appreciation of all of this, and with a high resolve to meet present and future responsibility with the sole purpose to advance to the utmost degree the welfare, the honor and the glory of our countrymen and our common country. The result of the recent national election needs no interpreter. It plainly signifies that the people have unabated faith in the great principles for which the Republican party has wrought so well. It clearly indicates exceptional confidence in the soundness and conservatism of Republican administration. The power committed to us is to be used with prudence. We are to continue to adhere to and uphold the great policies which have so well served us in the past. They are not to be undermined or subverted; they are to be upheld and maintained with wisdom and resolution. Free Trade Dumpers. The free traders who have attempted to show that the practice of selling goods in a foreign market at less than they are sold to the domestic consumer is vicious, and due to the protective tariff, are getting into deep water. We find one prominent Cobdenite organ in New York city thus pooh-poohing Chamberlain's protest against "dumping": "It is not necessary to go abroad WE FOR THEM. WE THESE NEW FANGLED CONDUCTACLES MARIAL REVISION I have are very satisfactory. By their ment for labor, prosperity and happi- I have no idea of making a change just to find the first kind of dumping. Every grocer who sells sugar below cost in order to make custom for his other wares is a dumper. Where this practice in England is resorted to once by a foreign producer, it is practiced by Englishman against Englishman a hundred times." Thus it appears that the practice is not due to protective tariff laws; and it is only criminal when it is resorted to by an American manufacturer to get rid of a surplus or to escape the necessity of closing down his works at a loss. All others may engage in the unloading practice with propriety — San Francisco Chronicle. A Serious Blow to Our Farmers. George E. Foster, M. P., from Canada, who says reciprocity is a dead question there, also says that they have an inexhaustible lumber supply, and in ten years could not only supply their own and Great Britain's market with wheat, but have a large surplus for further export. Our farmers can well imagine that they would get for their own wheat if there was no duty of 25 cents a bushel to keep out the millions of bushels of Canadian wheat which can be raised and transported at a much less cost than our own. A reciprocity treaty with Canada repealing the duties on natural products would be a blow to the farmers of the United States too serious to contemplate. On Republican Lines Of course, the Republican administration will work along the lines laid down by the Republican party, for the good of the country and its people, supremely indifferent to the Democratic censure of all its acts which will be directed against it during the next four years, and which will be summed up and elaborated in 1908.—Wheeling Intelligence. No Tariff Tinkering Sentiment There is no well-founded sentiment for tariff reform or tariff tinkering, except in the minds of some people who have no deep-rooted conviction in the matter of a protective tariff, and who have no adequate conception of what a protective tariff means, in the broad sense.—Kalamazoo Telegraph.

Snakes may almost be said to have glass eyes, inasmuch as their eyes never close. They are without lids, and each is covered with a transparent scale much resembling glass. When the reptile casts its outer skin, the eye scales come off with the rest of the transparent envelope out of which the snake slips. This glassy eye-scale is so tough that it effectually protects the true eye from the twigs, sharp grass and others obstructions which the snake encounters in its travels, yet it is transparent enough to allow the most perfect vision. Thus, if the snake has not a glass eye, it may, at any rate, be said to wear eye-glasses. A similarly protected or cased eye which very nearly approaches a glass eye, or, at any rate, an eye of glass—is to be found in fish. From the character of the element in which they live and the subdued light that reaches them, fish have no need of eyelids, either to wash the eye or protect it from glare, and, therefore, eyelids are absent; but some of them need the protection of the transparent, horny, convex cases which defend their eyes without obstructing the sight. Got Runaway Husband's Money. A romantic story of a long lost husband and an unclaimed fortune comes from Melbourne, Australia. A London engineer, named Charles Arnold, who went to Melbourne in the fifties with his wife, left to inspect some mining claims at Bendigo, and was never seen again. His wife gave him up for dead, but it was afterwards found out that he had gone to America, married again, and died, leaving half a million dollars. This, by will, he bequeathed to his children by his American wife; but part of the property was in one of those states of the Union where the rights of a legitimate wife and children prevail over the provisions of a will. Having regard to this, the second family agreed to a settlement, and compromised for $60,000. The Australian claimants—Mrs. Arnold being dead, and the eldest of the four surviving children being nearly 60 years of age—have just divided this sum. Microscopic Detective. Ehrenberg, prince of microscopists, some years ago was employed by the Prussian government to investigate a case of smuggling. A cask had been opened, valuables extracted, and the case repacked and shipped onward to its destination. The only clue to the criminals was that the unpacking must have been done at some of the customs houses through which the goods had passed. To all appearances the microscope had a hopeless task. Ehrenberg took some of the sand which had been used in repacking, placed it under the microscope, looked through the tube, and behold, on the stand lay a peculiar specimen of foraminifera. That animal was found only at one place in the world, and told just where the crime had been committed. Son-in-law's Son-in-law. Fifty six-year old Sylvester Heath was recently married to his son-in-law's daughter, and thus becomes the son-in-law of his son-in-law, says a dispatch from Wilkesbarre. The bride, Sarah Hagenbuch, is 20 years old. She is her father's child by his first wife. Hagenbuch's second wife is a daughter of Heath, who when he went to visit his daughter and son-in-law, met Sarah, fell in love with her, proposed and was accepted. As she is under age, the father's consent was necessary, and it was given. Propriety of Civil Service When, in 1809, Richard Trevithick uttered the following worris, there were many who considered him an insane, dangerous person: "The present general will use canals, the next will prefer railroads with horses, but their more enlightened successors will employ steam carriages on railways as the perfection of the art of conveyance."

Both the wool and flesh of these sheep were greatly valued."

This sort of work must come from the sehools, The common schools are conducted not to produce artists or men with a genius for producing learned themes, but the people do pay taxes for their support in order to train good citizens, A good citizen is a man who respects the rights of his neighbor, who sup: ports and protects his family, andewho floes his duty to home, chureh and state, Work of any sort is good dis: cipline. We must work to live right and we must work aecording to the demand that the times make, ‘To the Jackson county Republicans: You have told the colored brother that if he proved loyal and you were suc: cessful, what a share of the plume he would receive, ‘The colored brother fook you at your word, You have car. vied the county, and you have carried the state, but thins far not a mother's son of us has yet received a thing in Jackson county. What kind of prayer and hymn do you propose to put up to the blaek man at the next election?

It was such a novel place for a bird to choose for housekeeping that I stopped and made a sketch of It. While standing on the opposite corner sketching, the policeman of that “peat” came over to talk with me. He scemed pleased that I should have noticed the birds. He sald that the sparrows had been keeping house there for several years He had often stopped to watch them Duild their nests, and later feed theit little ones, which later would play around the lion's head, sitting on his nose or eyebrows as saucily ax could be, as much as to say: “You may look fleree, but—wHo's afraid?”"—st Nicholas.

THE BENEFIT OF DOUBT BY KENNETT HARDS It was growing dark in the jury room and eleven of the twelve sworn to well and truly try the case of the State of Wyoming against Scotty Burrows looked at each other in gloomy silence. It was now the second day of their incarceration and little Sam Calloway still hung out for acquittal. Sam was the exception to the general gloom. He appeared quite cheerful as he sat tilted back in a chair with his feet on the window ledge, whistling a tune and staring out into the twilight. "You kin stop that derned whistlin' anyway," said one of the jurors savagely. "Jess as you say," said Calloway. "I know I ain't what youn call musical. I was doin' it jest to pass the time." Phil McMasters, the bulking red-bearded foreman of the jury, pushed J. H. "I'm goin' ter argy this out with Sammy." back his chair and went over and took a seat on the window sill. "See here, Sammy," he said, "are you any kin to this yer defendant, Scotty Burrows?" "No, sir," answered Calloway. "He ain't no kin o' mine." "Does he owe you money?" "Nary cent." "Then what are you so plague goned mule-headed about this for?" "I ain't mule-headed," said Calloway, "it's you men. If you'd come around to my way o' thinkin' we'd be out of here inside o' five minutes. I ain't in favor o' stayin' here any longer than I have to; $2 a day ain't no charms for me, but I ain't goin' to railroad Scotty just because I want a drink." "Didn't you hear the evidence?" "Sure thing." "Well, the yearling passed Hank Lamotte on the keen jump with his tail up and Scotty's brand smokin' on his side an' made straight for the Half Circle A cow, an' when Hank looked down in the cookie he seen Scotty stompin' out the fire. That evidence wasn't contradicted." "Sure thing it was. Didn't you hear Scotty call him a lying half breed pup right thar im court? What makes you so plum anxious ter convict?" "I ain't anxious," said the foreman, "but I want this cattle rustlin' stopped and I want ter go home an' tend to my business some time." "So do we," came the chorus. "Oh, let up, Sammy," cried a juror. "Thar ain't no sense in actin' this a way." "You leave him to me, now," said the foreman in a menacing tone; "you've had your say aplenty." He turned to the obstinate juryman. "Sammy," he resumed, "I'll give you a show. I'll draw straws with you to see whether we acquit or convict." "I never go against another man's game," said Calloway, "sides which, it's im' oral. See here, McMasters, I ain't tongue like you. You've been arglyn' ever sence we was close-herded in here an' when I've tried ter say authin' on Scotty's side o' the case you've bellered me down, same's you've bellered down the others. All the same, I know Scotty didn't brand that Half Circle A calf, an' I'll stay by that till there's a skatin' carnival on the brimstur lake." The foreman's brows knit in an ugly frown. Slowly and with his eyes fixed threateningly on Calloway he beaned to "Any of yer wife's kln?" "Nixie Bill." "Does he hew" "Nary cent." remove his cont. Then he rolled his shirt sleeves above his brawny, hairy elbows. Calloway turned pale. "Gents," said the foreman, "extrordinary cases sometimes require extrordinary arguments. I'm a goin' ter angry this out with Sammy an' I don't want none o' you mixin' in the debate. You might as well turn your faces to the wall. You can hear the points I make jest as well." One by one the ten turned their chairs about, laughing and joking as they did so, but obviously in unwholesome fear of the knotty fists of the forculous McMasters. "Better own up Phil's right, Sammy," called one. "I come from Missoura." drawled Calloway, rather tremulously. A sudden crash succeeded, then a volley of profanity from the foreman of the jury, and the noise of a lively scuffle. Another and a louder crash indicated that the table had overturned. The jurymen writhed in their chairs. A bang and a sound of rending wood. It was too much for flesh and blood to bear. The ten jurors turned as one man in time to see McMasters go down heavily before a blow from a chair leg wielded by the insignificant Calloway. With a bound the obstinate juryman was on top of his antagonist plying the improvised edgel about his head and defensive arms in a frenzy of fear lest he might arise. "Let up, you little devil," shouted McMasters. "Let up! I've had enough. I tell you!" "What do you think o' the case now?" demanded Calloway, bringing down the chair leg with unabated energy. "Let up!" roared McMasters. "Don't you think there's a reasonable doubt about Scotty brandin' that there calf?" panted Calloway. "Tell me, doggone you!" McMasters made a herculean effort to throw off his promiscuously active incubus, but the movement left his head unprotected and Calloway was quick to avail himself of his opportunity. "Yes," groaned the foreman, "there's a doubt, all right. Now quit." Calloway suffered him to rise. "That's all right then," he remarked, drawing the tattered remnants of his shirt about him, with one hand, but retaining his weapon in the other. "Now, fellers," he continued, turning with a new air of authority to his brethren. "straighten up that table an we'll proceed to torake another ballot." The command was executed in an awkward silence, that was broken by a loud knocking at the locked door. "What are you men playin' at in there?" demanded the voice of All M. "Oh, God bless you!" cried Scotty's wife. Williams, the sheriff's deputy. "Are you comin' to a disagreement or tryin' who can jump the farthest? It was McMasters who answered. "We'll call you when we want you, Al." he said gruffly. "We don't want you now." Then as the deputy's footfall died away on the stair he added, "What's took place in this yer jury room don't go out o' this jury room; that's your oaths. What I want to know is if them oaths is going to be keep? "S far's I'm concerned," said Calloway. "I guess the rest is goin' to keep her mouths shut. Our deliberations is to be kep' secret, the judge said. Only," he added, with a look at McMasters, "I'm a countin' on two votes for acquittal." Five minutes later the jury filed into the court room, where Scotty Burrows, in the custody of the sniiff, was gripping his chair arms with whitened knuckles and glancing nervously at his wife, who, pale and wideeyed, clamped her baby to her bosom and panted as the judge looked over his spectacles at the foreman. "Are you agreed upon your verdict?" asked the judge. "We are," answered the jury's foreman. "We find the prisoner, Scotty Burrows, not guilty." "Oh, God bless you!" cried Scotty's wife. LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS VAST Assets of Companies in New York State Equal to $2,226,432,202. If the assets of all the life insurance companies engaged in business in the United States were distributed equally to all the population of the world, each man, woman and child of every continent and every country, from Africa to Labrador would receive $2 each, says a writer in the Era Magazine. There would be $2 for every human being on the globe. The assets of the life insurance companies of this country—that is, the actual property, real estate, bonds, stocks, etc., which they own—amount in the aggregate to more than $2,000,000,000. The companies doing business in New York state, and these include also practically all of the companies with headquarters in other states—had at the close of 1903, assets, in exact figures, equal in value to $2,226,423,202. Such is the magnitude of the institution of life insurance! If all the adult men in America, of every race and occupation, should contribute simultaneously $100 each toward a fund, that enormous sum would not equal the value of the property owned by the American life insurance companies. More than $500,000 of the money paid to the companies every year by policy holders goes to defray the expense of maintaining a spy system. After all the preliminary precautions have been taken the medical examination made, the references looked up—after the policy has been granted, detectives are employed to watch policy holders. Your money is paid to employ men to follow you through your daily walk, to track you into restaurants, to interview your servants, to use all the other low and contemptible means which these creeping shadowers employ. The spy system of the "combine" is interesting. Stickled for Etiquette Regular army officers say that volunteers are a trifle deficient in matters of military etiquette. As illustrative of their weakness in this respect, Major General Corbin tells an amusing story of a young lieutenant of militia who accompanied his fellow volunteers to the war game at Manassas recently. It appears that the young volunteer officer in question was conversing with regular army officers near Gen. Corbin's tent, when Gen. Grant and his staff passed. The regular officers arose and saluted, but the volunteer lieutenant sat still. "That was Gen. Grant," said one of the regulars to the lieutenant. "Why didn't you salute him?" "Oh," responded the volunteer, nonchalantly. "I've only been here a few days and we haven't been introduced."—Collier's. A woman's "no" had no dismay for me; I often, heard it said that it meant show, Although repeatedly she answered "No." "Mere coquery," I thought. "She wants to make Me think she is not to be lightly won. I like her, but she won't make her sake, or else it wouldn't be bit of a joke. She merely plays a part." I must say, though. She played it well. Much firmness in that "No." I humored her. I feigned a deep despair. I said she had ruined all life. I called her heartless, cruel, to live a fair; Again I begged her to become my wife. I did not think that this time she would throw Me down—but all the same she answered "No." Then I began to doubt, for when I tried To flirt with others she cared not a snap. To all appearances, and then beside she flirted also, with another chap. It was unexpected blow. When, for the fourth time, she answered "No." It was no wonder that I feared she meant In other truth my offer to decline. I 1. "What that is your intent; For the last time I'll ask her to be mine." That brought the confirmation of my feet. Poetry and Prose. The ablest writers in England have revived the Walt Whitman controversy. Several of them assert he was "beyond question the ablest man America has produced." Able thinker he was, versatile as a versifier, prodigious as a philanthropist, knowing as a student of woman and Bohemian to the marrow of his bones. Personally Whitman was a lovable character. I knew him intimately twelve years and was pall bearer at his grave, but a few names like Hawthorne, Holmes, Lowell and, last but not least, George Arnold find a warmer place in my heart. And, seriously, was anything ever said in verse that couldn't have been better told in prose? A few skeptics, like the writer, doubt it. Wants Rare French Stamps The Paris Gaulois states that Col. Delaucy, chairman of the French Philatelic Federation, has received a letter from Gen. Nogil, requesting a price list of rare French stamps.

Session of North Sea Tribunal Re- Vives Its Diplomatic Prestige. The tribunal which is dealing with the controversy relating to Russia's sinking of English fishing craft in the North sea has just opened at the French capital. Paris is resuming its old glory as the world's political center. It was at Paris that the representatives of the United States and Spain met to settle the issues growing out of the war of 1898. It seemed just as appropriate a place for the United States and Spain to meet in that juncture as it did in 1856 for England, Russia, Prussia, Austria, Turkey and the rest of the European powers to deal with the issues growing out of the Crimean war. It was at a congress at Paris in 1783 that England recognized United States independence. Twenty years earlier a seventy war to an end. Between 1763 and 1904 more important international gatherings have been held at Paris than in all the rest of the world's capitals.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. TO THE LAND OF THE FREE. Table of Immigration Shows Arrival of Millions A recently published table shows that from 1821 to 1903 (both inclusive) the total number of immigrants was 21,265,723, of whom Europe furnished 93 per cent. Of the total immigration into the United States during eighty-five years Germany and the United Kingdom furnished 56 per cent, as follows: Germany, 24 per cent; Ireland, 19 per cent, and England, Scotland and Wales, 13 per cent. During the same period Austria-Hungary, Italy and Russia and Poland furnished 21 per cent, as follows: Austria-Hungary, 7 per cent; Italy, 8 per cent, and Russia and Poland, 6 per cent. Of the total immigration in 1903, Germany and the United Kingdom furnished only 12 per cent, while Austria-Hungary, Italy and Russia and Poland furnished 68 per cent. NEW COMMISSIONER OF LABOR. Charles P. Neill Soon to Succeed Carroll D. Wright. On Feb. 1 Charles P. Neill will succeed Carroll D. Wright as commissioner of labor. Mr. Neill has acquired a reputation as a statistician CHAS. P. NEILL and has the confidence of laboring men as well as the administration. Mr. Neill's home is at the capital. He is thoroughly familiar with the work of the bureau. Tuberculosis Infection Tuberculosis is a house infection. We don't pick it up on the streets as we may pneumonia or smallpox; we never inherit it; seldom is it contracted from diseased milk or meat. Occasional contact with a consumptive endangers no one; the disease is not contagious in that sense. But every house in which an ignorant or careless consumptive has lived and coughed up the deadly bacilli; every close and foul-aired workroom in which he has labored becomes a peril to those who live or work with him or follow after him.—McClure's. Railroader to Take High Office. Isaac Thomas Parker, who will soon be inducted into office as lieutenant governor of Delaware, is conductor of a passenger train running between Philadelphia and Delmar, Del. He is already quartermaster general on the staff of the present governor, but this is the first elective office of importance to which he has been chosen. Mr. Parker has no idea of resigning his position on the Pennsylvania railroad, but declares that as soon as the legislature adjourns he will be found on his old run as usual. World Waiting to See How Experiment Turns Out. Not much has been published of late concerning the employment of coolies in the South African mines. Presumably it did not prove a telling cause in English parliamentary elections, and there seems to be a general feeling that, now that the coolies have been imported, people should wait and see how the experiment turns out before making further attacks on it. Up to the 1st of December more than 19,300 Chinese had been landed in South Africa for work in the mines. The last shipment was of 2,243, 2,238 being landed, the remaining eleven having died on the voyage. That would appear to be a very large percentage of loss for coolies who are all carefully inspected before their shipment, and who are all men in the prime of life. Some of the tramp steamers that have been engaged in this work, while controlled by certain government regulations concerning the carrying of the coolies, must have, in bad weather, presented a scene below decks that was somewhat reminiscent of the old days of the middle passage.—Boston Herald. IN AND OUT OF CABINET. Sensations of Members Well Described by Senator Foster. Postmaster General Wynne, who used to be a newspaper man in Washington, bears his honors with becoming dignity, but does not in any way feel upish over his advancement. The president one day asked him: "How does it feel to attend a cabinet meeting after having spent so much time on the outside trying to find out what occurred at similar gatherings?" "Oh, it is not so much how he feels," said Secretary Wilson, "as how the rest of us feel." Wynne has Irish blood in his veins and ready wit at the tip of his tongue. He came back in this fashion: "That reminds me of what Secretary Foster said when he took charge of the treasury department. I was his private secretary. One day he remarked to me: 'Wynne, when I first came to Washington as a member of the cabinet I gazed in awe at the distinguished men who were my colleagues and wondered how I got there. After I had been in the cabinet three months I wondered how my colleagues got there.'" GET FOOD TO PORT ARTHUR How Chinese Junks Successfully Elude Blockaders The medium-sized northern Chinese junks make first-class blockade runners. They are built very low in the water, with the docks almost awash when loaded, so that only the bow and stern rise noticeably above the water line. They are strong, flat-bottomed and of unpainted, dirty wood, with no bright colors about them. Propelled by from ten to twenty oarsmen, if the saisons fail, they glide through the water with no noise of smoke, and are very difficult of detection. Dodging along the shore and among the numerous islets, which extend from the Shan-Tung peninsula across the mouth of Pe-Chee-Lee gulf, they closely resemble the low, brown rocks and during the past months hundreds of them have evaded the Japanese watchers and carried tons of fresh provisions and vegetables to the beleguered Port Arthur garrison. Simple Home of Rockefellers. In Mr. Rockefeller's home in New York little effort is made at pretentiousness. There are no elevators, no elaborate system of electric bells, no frills about anything. Mrs. Rockefeller laboriously climbs the stairs rather than have an elevator put in. Simplicity and economy sound the keynote. Mrs. Rockefeller's kitchen in her New York house would be considered extremely old-fashioned by the standard of her rich neighbors. She does not care much for the pleasures of the table. Plain cooking suits her best. Her husband, of course, is most careful of his diet. The list of dishes he is obliged to pass unnoticed would make a very large bill of fare. Mean Fling at Senator Depew. Senator Depew says that the meanest remark he ever heard about him self came from a passenger on a sightseeing automobile in Washington. The automobile was going past the senator's house in H street. "That tree in the yard, ladies and gentlemen," said the megaphone man, "was planted by Senator Depew himself almost six years ago." "Say," piped up a passenger on the back seat, loud enough to be heard by the senator and his wife, who were standing in front of the house. "I'll bet it's a chestnut."

Actual experiment shows that blossoms of certain colors are in reality warmer than those of other tints. A GREAT INSTITUTION It is unusual that a single institution in a city of 8,000 people will overshadow in importance every other interest, but such is the case with the American School of osteopathy, and A. T. Still Infirmary at Kirksville, Mo. The Kirksville is immediately impressed with the idea that the town sustained by this institution, in fact, Kirksville has been made what it is to day by Dr. Still and his famous School and Infirmary. It is the largest patronized undewored institution of its kind in the United States. Dr. Still's school enrolls over 700 students yearly and the student is required to attend four terms of five months or completing the course of study. There are over 2,000 graduates and they are practicing in every state and territory of the Union. About two-thirds of the states have passed special laws legalizing the science. This school teaches every branch taught in every college except "drugs" and osteopathy is substituted for orthochthosis is the teaching in anatomy that over one hundred human bodies are dissected yearly by the students. At the Infirmary, patients from every part of the country and with almost every form of disease are constantly under treatment. For the past fifteen years almost every new coming to the hospital has brought some new sufferer hoping to find relief by the science of Osteopathy. By the thousands who have left the institution benefited by the treatment, the science has been heralded to the world as a safe and rational method of cure. Several years ago a free clinic was established in connection with this new treatment and this is still in operation. Hundreds of the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for treatment, are treated every afternoon by the senior students free of charge. Some men seem to be such deep thinkers that their thoughts never get to the surface. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All drugstore money it fails to cure. E. W.

Piso's Cure is the best medicine we ever used . all or all infections of the throat and lungs—Wm. O. ENDSELEY, Vanburen, Ind., Feb. 10, 1929. The Mountain Filipinos Secretary Taft made public recently a mail report received from Governor Wright in regard to the condition of affairs in Samar and other islands of the Philippine group. It is in part as follows: "The great bulk of the civilized Filipinos live on or not remote from the coast line, but there are scattered communities living in the mountains, who are little removed from savagery. It frequently happens that some enterprising man among them will obtain a considerable following and will perpetrate all sorts of outrages upon peaceful and inoffensive inhabitants. This cannot be changed at once. It therefore may be inferred that for several years to come there will be eruptions from this source and that they will make raids upon the civilized Filipinos living in the lowlands as heretofore. The commission, so far as its finances permit, is engaged in building roads to open up these remote sections of the interior and to make them accessible." Description cf Persian Sheep. A traveler, giving an account of the Persian sheep in 1798, says: "The tails frequently weighed eight or ten pounds, and they have six or eight horns, some of which stood out horizontally and caused a great deal of bloodshed when the rams engaged with one another. Both the wool and flesh of these sheep were greatly valued." HABIT'S CHAIN Certain Habits Unconciously Formed and Hard to Break. An ingenuous philosopher estimates that the amount of will power necessary to break a life-long habit would, if it could be transformed, lift a weight of many tons. It sometimes requires a higher degree of heroism to break the chains of a pernicious habit than to lead a forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town: "From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before I was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptic, suffering terribly at times with my stomach. "I was convinced that it was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup for breakfast. At the age of 36 I was in very poor health, indeed. My sister told me I was in danger of becoming a coffee drunkard. "But I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast although it kept me constantly ill, until I tried Postum. I learned to make it properly according to directions, and now we can hardly do without Postum for breakfast and care nothing at all for coffee. "I am no longer troubled with dysperia, do not have spells of suffering with my stomach that used to trouble me so when I drank coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

McK.—For building 25 feet high and 30 feet wide, how much long: er should the end plate be than the ‘end sill? The plates and sills are of the same length. If the building has a cottage roof the ceiling joist should extend twenty inches, or two feet over the wall (according to the width of cor nice desired). The toe of each rafter sits on a plate spiked on the ends of the joist. The walls are built up above the ceiling joist with a plate on top for the rafters to sit on. This plate, and not the lower one, supports ‘the roof. (See plan.) If a gable or Wie, iP D La al DY 5 UZ / VTLS ¢ Vf : A, rafter; B, ceiling joist; C, wall; D, plates. ridge roof is required the sheeting extends over the ends of the building and a 2x4 inch scantling is nailed every three feet beneath the roof boards. When finished this forms the cornice, Ginseng Growing Industry. Can you give me any information about the culture of ginseng? Would it be likely to prove profitable? The culture of ginseng has been greatly advocated in some quarters in America during the past few years, and owing to the large prices said to have been paid for the roots and the enormous profits which it is claimed can be made by growing ginseng, quite a number of persons are trying to grow it. Ginseng is not, however, an easy crop to grow and requires a great deal of care, It also takes five vears before the roots are large enough to sell. Same persons are growing it successfully, and hope to make money out of the sale of the roots. It is thought by many disin: terested persons that more money Is being made out of the sale of the seeds and young plants to prospective growers than will ever be made by the growers themselves, as the mar: ket will probably become overstocked with ginseng and the prices reduced the market for ginseng ix China, as the roots are used by the Chinese as a drug. There are many surer in vestments for capital than the cul ture of ginseng, Ducks Dying of. ‘M. K.—Would you advise me regard ing my ducks, as they have been dy ing off lately?

How the Frenchman Read His Book How the Frenchman read His Book "A curious way to read a book was what I saw the other day coming up from New Orleans," said J. T. Simpson of Chicago. "It was in a Pullman sleeping car, and we had a pretty good crowd of northbound tourists. Among them was a queer looking Frenchman; at least, I judged he was such. On his seat I noticed a dozen paper back novels. Shortly after breakfast he began reading one of these at the open window by his seat. As soon as he finished a page he tore it off neatly and threw it out the window. The books were all in French, and before we got to Atlanta he had read three and scattered the French printed pages for hundreds of miles."—Atlanta Constitution. To Stop Sneezing. "There are times when to sneeze is to be embarrassed," said a society man; "at a dinner table, a social function of some sort, or in the theater, for example; but most people console themselves with the thought that it is something that can't be prevented. They are mistaken in this belief, however, for it can be prevented, and by a very simple expedient. When one feels the premonitory symptoms of a sneeze coming on, if he will just press firmly down on the lip on either side of and a little below the nostrils, the symptoms will grisually die off and the sneeze will be avoided."—London Answers. Cowboys in Laced Boots. The few cowboys left in the West are taking to laced boots. There was a time, in the heyday of the cow country, where a special grade of fine, high-heeled, thin-soled boot was manufactured solely for the cowboy trade, since cowboys were always very vain about their footwear. But with decadence of their trade the cattlemen have lost their small vantiles, and a half full of them ride in the more comfortable laced boots. So is the old top boot, once worn by most city men, vanquished in its last stronghold—New York Sun. How "Negus" Originated. Negus, as much enjoyed in the army as grog is in the navy, attains its name from a jovial colonel in the days of George I. This Col. Negus was accustomed to drink the mild elixir of the ancient Roman, wine and water, and made himself so famous in the habit of avoiding imminent quarrels or cooling hot debates among his junior officers by saying in his hearty, contagious tones, "Come, boys, let's drink some of my liquor," till Negus became the sobriquet of wine diluted with water—as the cup of truce.
