On Saturday next, Mr. H. M. Beardsley will, go before the Republicans of this city as a candidate for the mayoralty nomination. Mr. Beardsley needs no special introduction to the citizens and voters of this municipality. His great activity in public affairs has extended over a period of many years during which time he has been a devoted student on municipal government. In placing himself before the Republican primaries he has outlined his policy in connection with the important questions now pending and which must shortly be brought to a conclusion. In these public issues good citizen is interested. Mr. Beardsley stands in favor of good streets and a clean and healthy city, the granting of franchises to public service corporations only after thorough investigation as to their value, and the se PETER H. curing, in the contract, for the people the lowest charge possible for that which is to be furnished under the franchise granted. If nominated and elected he will require that all corporations holding franchises comply with the terms thereof; that there shall be a further reduction in water rates as speedily as possible. He favors the appointment of competent men for all public services and the insistence upon the faithful performance by them of their duties. Upon the all-important gas question Mr. Beardsley's policy is NOT to yield to the present grossly unreasonable demands of the Gas Trust, but to secure a contract just and fair to the people or by municipal ownership of a gas plant whichever shall best secure the desired result. He maintains that the battle for cheap gas must be won by the interest of all the people and of the growth of the city. He promises that if nominated and elected he will give the next two years of his life to the business of the city. The attitude of Mr. Beardsley on these important questions is clearly set forth. His unquestioned ability and strong integrity is known to every man, woman and child. His life as a private and public citizen stands without a blemish. Like our noble president, Theodore Roosevelt he has the highest regard for manhood integrity and ability regardless of race or color. The Son takes pleasure in commending Mr. Beardsley to the earnest support of our closest voters and it is hoped that they will be a unit at the primaries next Saturday for Henry M. Beardsley, good government and progressiveness. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Appropriate exercises, commemorating the life and work of the great emancipator, Lincoln, and given under the auspices of the senior class, were held in the Auditorium and heartily enjoyed by an appreciative audience. Proceeds for the benefit of the Athletic Association. The Sunshine Circle celebrated Douglass day with an excellent program, including quotations from the speeches of this illustrious race leader, and addresses by President Allen and Miss Fredrica Sprague, grand-daughter of Douglas. The valentine party was a complete success and afforded an evening of innocent amusement to all who attended it. One of the most enjoyable and instructive features of daily life in the institution is the practice, inaugurated by President Allen, of calling forth from the students assembled at dinner items of interest gleaned from the daily papers and current magazines. This process occurs daily after the dinner and is attended by many good results. We predict that when these students have established homes of their own, the effects will still remain as salutory and potent influences in keeping down the permiscuous habit of gossiping at table and elsewhere, and in stimulating a desire to store the mind with useful ideas. The end of the second term is rapidly approaching and students are losing no time from work. It is this daily and hourly discipline of work, industrial or literary or both, that in the end produces the efficient man and woman. For information relative to the summer school, address President B. F. Allen. New York's "Richest" Rich. New York has the richest baby, the richest boy, the richest bachelor, the richest spinster, the richest married man and the richest widow in the whole wide world. Parts of this big claim might be overthrown on close scrutiny but we continually bear of little John Nicholas Brown, the richest baby in the world; James Henry Smith, the richest bachelor; William Ziegler, Jr., the richest boy; Miss Stickney, the richest spinster; Rockefeller, the richest of all, etc. S.

Mr. Dunbar died of consumption last Friday at his house in Dayton, Ohio. Mr. Dunbar was born in Dayton, June 27, 1872 and educated in the public school of Dayton. He became an author at the age of 18 and contributed largely to noted magazines and newspapers. Mr. Dunbar possessed more than ordinary ambition and several white men of note came to his rescue. With this encouragement he pursued his work with vigor until he achieved national fame. Mr. Dunbar spent a considerable time in London where he was entertained by many of the leading literary clubs of the city and his work received favorable comment at the hands of the British peers. Mrs. Mable Peck has returned from California where she spent several weeks. THE DOMESTIC SCIENCE OF GAR RISON SCHOOL. Principal R. T. Coles, of the Garrison School, was asked by our reporter the other day as to the benefit the girls are receiving from the Domestic Science Department of the school. He said, "I am well satisfied with results thus far. That is one of my favorite departments of the school and I pay a great deal of attention to it. At present we have about eighty-five girls taking a course in cooking and practical house-keeping. Miss Robinson, the efficient teacher of that department, is thoroughly competent and much interested in the work. It will pay any one to visit her classes and notice the interest the girls take in the training. For example the following is a part of the first year's course: two lectures a week on care of kitchen and kitchen utensils, sweeping, dusting, care of brooms, brushes and dusters; scrubbing floors, window cleaning, silver polishing, care of dining room, bed room ventilation, and care of kerosene lamps. The first year's course in cooking, consists of the following, cooking of simple breakfast dishes, bread making, table laying and waiting breakfasts. This training has already begun to make itself felt in the home. For in conversation with many mothers, of these girls, who by force of circumstances are compelled to spend a great deal of time away from home, have turned the house over entirely to the girl and have noticed the difference in interest the girl manifests now to what she did before having had the training. A few weeks ago one of the Fifth Grade girls, without a mother, was ill and the teacher, with a few of the girl's clasmates visited her home, took charge of the room, put to use their knowledge of housekeeping and ventilation and prepared dainty foods such as cream of tomato soup and dropped eggs on toast. This practical training is the kind all our girls need and will do much to revolutionize our homes. The only regret I have is that the work in my school cannot be more extended." A GAY LOTHAIRE. The much touted "Christian Gentleman," B. Allen Morris, has rather peculiar records in love affairs. Although a twice married man, he ardently woes two of Detroit's blushing maidens at one and the same time. About a year ago a correspondent in the Informer told in glowing terms about the splendid Christian work a stranger, by the name of B. Allen Morris, was doing among the children of his neighborhood and about organizing them into a club and training them in the noble work of the Master. Mr. Morris was to all outward appearances, a gentleman of great piety and high Christian character. No one could blame the pretty maidens of Bethel church for saying that Brother Morris looked good to them, and when two of Bethel's female members seemed to be the elect of the polished gentman, they were looked upon with envy. It was said that Brother Morris had become engaged to both of the fair young ladies, and indeed, was about to be married to one of them when a letter was received in this city from Kansas City, Mo., that reads in part as follows: Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 24, 1905. Dear Sir: I am inquiring for my husband. He is quite a church worker among the young people. His name is Burt Allen Morris. We were married here in Kansas City the 29th day of June, 1903. We moved to Chicago. After a month he deserted me; then after a time he came back to Kansas City; then he deserted me here and went back to Detroit. Now I hear he is married to some woman in Detroit. He hasn't got any divorce from me. I am still his wife. He was a Mason and belonged to the Westport Lodge here, but he is suspended now. Will you kindly inform me as to this woman, her name and address. I cannot understand my husband's treatment of me. The startling nature of the contents of this letter started an investigation that has resulted in uncovering a rather checkered career on the part of Morris, who only last fall matriculated in Wilberforce University, intending to enter the ministry. Mr. Morris is alleged to have been married in Chicago November 1, 1899, by Rev. J. F. Thomas, and again June 29th, 1904, in Kansas City, Mo., by Rev. F. J. Peck. Deserted wife No. 2 in Chicago and came to Detroit. Wife No. 1 applied for divorce in Chicago, but dropped it upon learning of his engagements in this city, and certain Detroit maiden consider now themselves exceeding fortunate that they were not duped into marrying the oftime groom. The authorities of Wilberforce were communicated with and when they asked an explanation from the gay young man, he declared that he would straighten the matter up to their satisfaction, and left the University for that purpose, saying he was coming to Detroit. He has not been seen in this city, and his present whereabouts are unknown. He is a tall, brown-skinned man of about thirty years, with pleasing manners and gentlemanly bearing. LEXINGTON NEWS Quarterly meeting was held at the A. M. E. Church, February 11. The Presiding Elder, Rev. Barksdale was not able to be here on account of being sick. Rev.

This title parable by an unknown author teaches its own lesson: A hen trod on a duck's foot. She did not mean to do it, and it did not hurt the duck much; but the duck said, "I'll pay you for that!" So the duck flew at the old hen, but as she did so her wings struck an old goose, who stood close by. "I'll pay you for that!" cried the goose, and she flew at the duck; but as she did so her foot tore the fur of a cat who was just then in the yard. "I'll pay you for that!" cried the cat, and she started for the goose; but as she did so her claw caught in the wool of a sheep. "I'll pay you for that!" cried the sheep, and she rah at the cat, but as she did so her foot hit the foot of a dog who lay in the sun. "I'll pay you for that!" cried he and jumped at the sheep; but as he did so his leg struck an old cow who stood by the gate. "I'll pay you for that!" cried she, and she ran at the dog; but as she did so her horn grazed the skin of a horse who stood by a tree. "I'll pay you for that!" cried he, and he rushed at the cow. What a noise there was! The horse flew at the cow, and the cow at the dog, and the dog at the sheep, and the sheep at the cat, and the cat at the goose, and the goose at the duck, and the duck at the hen. What a fuss there was! And all because the hen accidentally stepped on the ducks' toes. "Hi! Hi! What's all this?" cried the man who had the care of them. "You may stay here," he said to the hen; but he drove the duck to the pony the goose to the field, the cat to the barn, the sheep to her fold, the dog to the house, the cow to her yard, and the horse to his stall. And so all their good times were over because the duck would not overlook a little hurt which was not intended. Famous Russian Poetess The poets corner" in the cemetery of the Alexander Newski cloister in St. Petersburg has been augmented by the grave of Myrrha Lochwizkaya (Ybert), one of the few Russian women who have attained eminence for their poetry. She was the daughter of a prominent lawyer in St. Petersburg, where she was born in 1863. In 1896 her first volume of poems was issued, three other volumes followed. Her verse is characterized by Oriental touches, and her favorite theme is love. Don't try to be anybody but yourself. Few British Whaters. Dundee is the only port in the Britt- isles that owns whaleships. Toward the end of the century before last nearly all the east coast ports had whalers of their own. London bad thirty four ships. The falling off of the indus'r' is due chiefly to the scarcity of "right" whales; but the turning point of the decay was taken when coal gas was discovered, and there was a fall in the importance of oils as illuminants. But each season Dundee sends her whaling fleet to the Arctic. So few are "right" whales within the circle now that the Dundee experts know them all, it is said.

Certain browns and pinks consort most harmoniously and with much dis- tinction, but one must choose the right shades. A pink broadcloth frock of creamy tea-rose tint, trimmed in brown velvet, worn with brown furs and a big pink tulle hat trimmed with brown plumes and a touch of fur around the big crown, excited much enthusiasm at a recent tea and the color scheme should suggest charm ing possibilities to any clever artist in dress.

As to colors of the hats which are being worn now and will be worn, the Millinery Trade Review's Paris correspondent says: “Variety in color is a particular feature of the new straws and hair weaves. All the lead- ing series of shades adapted for the season are represented, but particular prominence {s given to the new moss and spring greens, and to the lower- toned pinks, to the orchid mauves, sky and pale hyacinth colors, to the bright light wood browns and the lightest of terra cottas, “Individualitv” in Drees. ‘With the wide latitude which fash- fon now allows in the various lines of dress, it is not a difficult matter for miladi to follow individual ideas in her gowns and dress accessories, In: deed “individuality” has become the slogan of the well dressed, Some- thing which is not only becoming, but expresses “her”—her taste, her ind: viduality—original ideas adapted to her particular style.

Cire -at arent Gaeta, There's nothing which tends to lengthen the life of a good street suit so definitely as taking it off as soon as you come in, brushing it and put- ting it away on its hanger. Lounging, as you're bound to do in a measure in your home, plays havoc with tailor. ed clothes. It’s rather a temptation to sink into an easy chair when you come in, just tired enough to enjoy the prospect of idling far a little while, but those very times take the life out of the sort of cloth that tailors sell, and probably lays fine little creases which result in incorrigible mussing. It’s rather a temptation, too, to hang tt up and postpone brushing and putting away properly to a later time, when you're rested, but it pays to do it at the time, for dust should be got rid of before it has time to settle inte the cloth and give it that dingy look which mars so many otherwise good looking suits, and careful hanging pre vents forming of bad lines, INS ye ee i= ih OUSEWIVES Spar varnish is the liquid to use on all furniture for out-of-door use, ag it 18 both weatherproof and lasting.

Around some of the most ancient houses now standing in this country have sprung up, and are still springing up, modern blocks and detached houses of the familiar suburban type. ‘These old houses, most of them rather low and decidedly rambling, spreading themselves over the ground with the calm assurance that they could take all the space they wanted, are some of them more than 200 years old; all of them, of the old stock, more than 100, and are practically as good to- N Hy) y Fly EPO Vi Ey fj = = 1 oe ae |, a fs i Faia to 8 ba | te Tle 2 ME eV, a ehiee Cai Type day as when they were erected.

IN KANSAS CITY, The paid circulation of THE RISING SON is more than double the combined circulation of all the other Kansas City Golored weekly newspapers. The attitude of the Son on the mayoralty question will not be announced until after the nominations shall have been made. The last legislature passed a law making chicken stealing a felony. The first person convicted for such an offence was a white man. The following gentlemen are candidates for police judge: J. A. McLane, H. G. Kyle. Both are good men and would fill the office with credit. The interests of the tax payers of Kansas City have been duly protected by the city treasurer, Mr. Holmes, during his incumbency. This pleasant feature of his administration entitles him to renomination and election. To the city attorney, Mr. John M. Swanson, our position has always been against criminals of all classes and the first class Negroes of Kansas City do not consider that you have done them any favor when you turn loose criminals of color. The good class of Negroes of this city stand for law and order and not for favor or protection to criminals. The manager of the Son heartily agrees with the Rev. J. L. Edwards of Topteka when he said, in his address before the Kansas Day Club banquet, that while the ministers had a reign of forty years over the people of the Negro race, the reason of his retarded progress along the moral lines must be attributed to the lax, uncorcern and irregular methods used by so many ministers of the gospel, whereby they corrupt the people rather than bring salvation to their souls. For this condition the people are to at fault. They allow Negro preachers to come in their midst, who do as they please, live as they like, and do things that are very bad. Occasionally they are jerked up for their behavior when two or three of the church deacons and stewards get around and have the matter hushed up. This condition is one of the curses today upon the Negro race. The Son contends: Why allow a man to preach unless he is right, lives upright and is morally sound. The same may apply to our teachers, why employ a teacher behind whom a big question mark hangs. The Negro themselves can adjust this condition and make it right if they will. The following HTML code is used to create a simple webpage with a heading and a paragraph. The proposition to extend the Metropolitan franchise ten years in return for which the company is to provide a public drive-way through the proposed tunnel is arresting attention of the aldermen. The people of Kansas City do not look upon the proposition with favor. They do not desire that the common council of Kansas City shall turn over to the Metropolitan millions of dollars, so to speak for nothing. It is hoped that the administration will consider the matter carefully before any action is taken. It is the opinion of the Son that Bishop Turner was a little hasty in his reference to the American flag. It is very true however that the negro does not receive the protection which this government has sworn to give him. As Booker Washington well said, that while the negro soldiers in distant lands were fighting to uphold the American flag, here up- on the home soil negroes were being lynched and burned for alleged crimes, thus showing to the civilized world that a very peculiar condition of affairs exist in this country. It seems that Kansas has seen fit to disfranchise the negro in disobedience to the constitution, but in direct keeping with the spirit of her citizens. Key West Fla., Aug. 28th, 1904.

Thos. Dixon, author of "The Clausman," has taken Ben Tillman's place on the Negro race question. The following telegraphic clipping shows the Rev. Mr. Dixon to be Mr. Tillman's superior when it comes to beaping abuse on the Negro race. New York, Jan. 29.—Racial hate was manifested in most virulent form in the Baptist church of the Epiphany, at Madison avenue and Sixty-fourth street, yesterday afternoon, when the pastor, the Rev. Madison C. Peters, the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., the author of "The Clansman," and several negro clergymen, supported by several negro laymen, engaged in a spirited discussion of the negro problem. The severest comment of the clergyman-lecturer-novelist-playwright was that virtue in negro women was so rare that any consideration of it was futile. His audience seemed to be evenly divided, one-half supporting him with an energy and fervor equal to that shown by the opposition. The The Rev. Mr. Dixon was the chief speaker, and it was understood that it was out of the vexed questions produced by "The Clansman," that the plan came to have him on the same platform with leading negro preachers and laymen. He was no time in getting into his subject, but without even a preliminary word, struck out as follows: "The only solution of the negro problem by which a race war within this century can be avoided is by a peaceful and friendly colonization of the African. This has never been tried seriously. President Lincoln would have accomplished this great task had he lived out his years. The man who freed the negro was, at the time of his death, preparing a scheme for removing him from this country. Is 4.000 Years Behind. "The Negro is 4,000 years behind the white race and he always will be so. For that space of time he has occupied one of the richest and most fertile countries in the world and he never improved it in any way, never dug up any of the minerals, never built a ship or a house, or even constructed a cart until the white man came and showed him how.

FORTY YEARS OF FREEDOM. The Negro Race Problem. Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than these people are to be free, nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. This was the prophecy of Thomas Jefferson, writing in 1821, in the evening of his long life, and only five years before his death. Long since has the first part of the prediction been filled; it came forty years after he wrote amid the thunders and lightnings of the civil war. Since then another forty years have nearly passed away and the nation is face to face with the question—"Can two races equally free, live in the same government?" It is the very greatest problem that confronts the Republic in these open years of the new century, and it will require the united efforts of all the people to find the right solution to it. The day is gone, and, in interest of both races, it is well that is should be so. Democrats and Republicans have now an equal interest in formulating the conditions which shall retrieve whatever errors may have been committed and produce policies under the operations of which social order shall be concerned and our common civilization maintained. The burdens of responsibility is largely upon the South, but the South should not be left to struggle under it unaided by the other sections of the Union, in which the end is less and consequently more easily dealt with. We reproduce the opening idea of Thos. White, in the Freeman, on the above subject. Adarnsville, Ala., Sept., 30, 1896.

With freedom will come more general education and a great uprise in Mexican life will result. By way of contrast Mexico and Sweden and Norway offer an interesting study. Mexico, with peonage and restricted education, has a wonderful and rich variety of natural resources. Sweden and Norway, with a cold and rather sterile country, have individual freedom, and are the only countries in the world in which every grown man can read and write. Therefore the Scandinavians have prosperity, good homes and a general and splendid civilization, while Mexico, with friendly climate and great natural resources, lags behind. But the signs of advancement are many and encouraging, and there is every reason for taking a cheerful view of the future of our sister republic.—San Francisco Call. Gates a Good Spender. Report has it that John W. Gates is making all the other plungers at Saratoga look small. Gates thinks and acts in thousands where the average man does the same things in dollar bills. He hardly recognizes small change when he sees it. His bets at the races are all up in three figures, he pays a dollar for a shave and tosses another dollar to the boy who shines his shoes. He buys a good dinner for a large party at a time and gives the biggest tips ever heard of. The chances are that even with his bix expenses he will break even or better on the present meet. At present h is away ahead of the game. Model Dairy Farm Two brothers, Albert and Harry Fahrenstock, have a model dairy farm at Quaker Bottom valley, in Baltimore county, and the other day they had the members of the Baltimore stock exchange out to look at it. The visitors were driven over the 650 acres in wagons drawn by teams of eight nicely matched gray Percheron horses, and they found the dairymen and the stablemen all neatly uniformed. It is also reported that they found a scene of "unusual pastoral beauty." There are hills, valleys and tumbling splashing waters on the big farm, and the keynote of the management is organization and system. The result is success. Recently at a private muscale, Robert Cuscaden played a Bethoven selection which called forth this comment from one of his gushing feminine admirers: "Perfectly heavenly!"

Nice Old-Fashioned Folk. Senator Pettus of Albama, wears shirts made by his wife and socks which she has knitted. The old couple live in Selma when not in Washington, and new manners and customs have changed them little. Since their marriage, sixty-two years ago, she has made all his linen garments. Until about twenty years ago she adhered to the ways of her foremothers and spum the flax herself. Now she finds her eyes are falling and she buys the linen from a merchant in Mobile, but the remainder of the work is her labor of love. As she talks to her guests, whether at home or in Washington, her fingers are busy with knitting. Mrs. Pettus has a remarkable memory and tells entertaining anecdotes in a quaint, old-fashioned war. On every anniversary of their marriage the couple give a reception for the senate, and great is the shwer of rifts. The above is a casual thought given expression by one of our esteemed contemporaries. It shows the trend which is fast developing among the Negro of the serveral sections.

Blow Too Much For Pat. While Pat Kern, a sturdy young Irishman of Philadelphia, was standing on a ladder cleaning windows a lawyer approached and called out to him that an uncle living in Ireland had died, leaving him $100,000. Pat promptly fell from the ladder at the shock. He was not hurt, however, and soon went back to his task. "When are you going to quit work?" was asked. "When I get the money," came the retort. "Tell me what it is about me That for you has such a charm." I was sure she couldn't doubt me When I answered her—"My arm." Then she looked up with a wink that I interpreted meant Haste. Saying: "If that's true, I think that We have little time to waist." "Clever girl," I murmured, "this is Happiness! Do you agree?" "Yes, she answered, "and a kiss is Cupid's proper repartee."

Several days ago We had a casual talk with a factory representative of the Chicago typewriter and much to our surprise we learned that one of the big typewriter companies in the East declared a dividend of 65 per cent in one year. We had supposed that typewriters, like many other things, were domineered by trusts, but such an enormous dividend in a sin- gle year banished all possible doubt. We had contemplated buying a ma- chine and after finding that the Chi- cago typewriter possessed so many im- provements over other machines we concluded to equip our office with one. A good article complete for $35.00 gives us assurance the Chicago type- writer is nat under the domineering influence of a trust. ‘Mr. W.

Howard and Miles found this out in the campaigns in the mountains of the Northwest, when Joseph fought them fair a dozen times, outwitted them on occasion, and at last succumbed to the inevi- table only when superior weapons and superior numbers were too much for generalship. In the Nez Perces campaign there were actions which deserve a place In history, but they have no such place, and knowledge of them exists only In the memories of the veterans who fought the reds in the fastnesses of Idaho and who risked their lives for the protection of the frontier, thinking and caring little about fame. Records of ordinary battles show that-in the total losses the proportion of killed to wounded ts about one man in five. In some of Nez Perces fights the ordinary proportion stood at odds with itself, and In some cases there was no question of proportion at all, for the casualty list held no names but those of the dead. Chief Joseph knew that man for man his followers were no match for the better trained and better armed white soldiers. In order to infilct all possible loss upon the white enemy with least posstbility of severe loss to his own band, he attacked tsolated troops when the opportunity came, and the record of the fights was red. On the retired Mst of the United States army is Capt. William R. Par- nell, an Irishman by birth, an Amerl- can by adoption, and a seldier by choice. Capt. Parnell is out of active service because of disability from wounds received in action. In his case it was shown that no man in the end {8 bullet-proof, even though the fire of a dozen pitched fights bas left him scatheless. In June of the Nez Perces year Capt. Parnell was a first Meutenant of the First cavalry. His command, consisting of only fifty-four officers and men, was detached from the main body of troops in the fleld, and was scouting in the vicinity of White Bird canyon, Idaho. The Nez Perces saw their chance, and a band of them, led by a subchief, came down on the little contingent of cavalry like a tempest blast. The reds outnumbered the whites eight to one and there was nothing for the troop to do but to retreat and to fight as it fell Yack, for the nature of the country was such that to make a stand meant being sur- rounded by the Indians, who could take to the mountain ledges and pick off riders and horses at will. Into the White Bird canyon went the troops and following came & horde of the savages. Four troopers fell dead from their saddles. Their bodies were picked up and carrled by thelr comrades. Alternately the troopers turned, stood and fired, checking the Racing Deafens Chauffeurs. He had done in his 110-horse power car a mile in 30 seconds. “Congratulations,” said a young girl, as he got out. “What?” sald he. “Congratulations.” He smiled and shook his head. “What?” “I sald, ‘Congratulations.’ What is the matter with you? Are you deaf?” But again he failed to hear her. “In a few minutes,” he said, “I'll be all right. T suppose It was the noise of the motor or the swift going—at any tate Iam enveloped In the most ter- rifle tumult—a roar like the winds of a hundred storms—and I can’t hear a word you say.” “{ am always like this after a race,” he continued. “For fifteen minutes or so Iam as a deaf as a post. Then gradually the roaring in my ears sub sides, and I begin to distinguish the sounds that occur around me, I sec tow lips moving and mouth ajump, but I hear not a word. “All men that race in heavy, pow: erful, detonating cars are deal, lke me, at their races’ end.

Then the retreat was again taken up and continued until another stand was necessary to keep the little command from being overwhelmed. Into the marsh which traversed the canyon rode the troopers. The vego- tation was lush and high, at times concealing some of the troopers from the sight of their fellows. While the passage was being made, the Nez Perces, from the highvr ground, rained {n their shots and claimed as dead three more of the troopers. The liv- Ing raised the dead from the earth and carried them on, to save them from mutilation. High ground was reached at last. Then there came a hurried count, and one trooper was reported miss- ing. From over the marsh grasses came the sound of sharp firing, It seemed to be concentrated in one spot, and then the command knew that the missing trooper had lost his mount and was seeking to make his way out of the morass, while the savages were trying to cut him off. Lieut. Parnell asked his command: ing officer for a few men to follow him back to the rescue of their com- rade. Into the tule swamp rode the Heutenant and his score of followers. ‘They were going straight into death's valley. The savages swarmed on the hillside and down into the marsh they poured their lead. Off, to the left, Parnell knew, was the trooper for whom he was in search, for occasionally there came the sound of a single report and the sight of the smoke of black powder. Toward the point the leutenant pushed with his men, while the bullets dropped about them and every few steps claimed a victim. On through the grasses, firing as they went in the effort to keep down ‘the force of the red fusillade, went the troppers. They reached their lost comrade finally, but of the twenty ‘rescuers only fourteen were left. ‘The Nez Perces had killed the strayed soldier's horse, and they were rapidly closing in on him when help came. Back through the swamp rode Par. nell and his men. They were shining marks for bullets, and the hail of them did not cease, but while the storm was beating the troopers picked up their dead and retreated fighting. Lieut, Parnell that day was not hit His wounds came tn another action ater. What saved him no one can say, for he led kis men and was the | mark most conspicuous. | The troop finally found a place of safety, The casualty Jist of H Troop, First cavalry, as it was made up on the night of the day of the fight in “White Bird canyon, read: | “Troopers Killed, fifteen; wounded, none.” And the record stands alone to this | day.—Chicago Post.

An exceedingly simple contrivance at: tached to the ordinary brace has been patented by two Buffalo inventors and 1s designed for effectively and convenlently boring holes in nooks and corners inaccessible to ordinary braces. At the top of the section of the brace holding the bit is a bevel gearing meshing at right angles with a shaft extending through the con necting arm. At the end of the shaft is a small handle and the operation will be at once obvious, When it 1s necessary to bore a hole in a place where the ordinary brace cannot be used the auxiliary handle is brough' into action, which can be fully turned without coming in contact with the walls or other obstructions. The mechanism 1s so arranged that the bit and brace can be used for ordt nary purposes where there ‘s ampl room and the auxiliary only brough into use in case of emergency. A Gaiety. Attecoment: Even in this enlightened age accl- dents due to a failure to turn off the gas properly are still numerous enough to command attention. A safety at- tachment for gas burners is the recent invention of a New Jersey man, and if it will fulfill the claims advanced tt is well worthy of attention. Instead of employing a stopcock the attachment regulates the flow of gas, and as long as the gas is burning remains in that position, but should there be any care- lessness in turning off the gas the at- tachment does so automatically. Whether the gas Is purposely extin- guished or extinguished by accident, due to a high wind or when blown out by an ignorant person, the attachment acts by gravity to close the plug. ‘The attachment 1s pivoted to one end of ‘the stopcock, and consists of an arm which extends parallel with the burn: er, and controlled by a lever. At the | top of the arm is the portion which en \ ¢ \ a uy Ry aa a i Wi Acts Automatically. gages with the burner, being made in the shape of a ring com nected to two horizontal * bands. When the gas is turned off and the at- tachment in its normal position It 1s at right angles to the burner. When the lever 1s operated to turn on the gas the attachment closes up until the top engages with the tip of the burner. As long as the gas is burn ing the ring and bar at the top are caused to expand, but should the gas become extinguished by a gust of wind or otherwise the band immediately contracts and as- sumes a position which forces the at- tachment by its own weight and grav- ity to quickly fall to {ts normal post tion and shut off the gas. Pussle of Sliver and Lead. ‘The contemporary chemist constd- ers not only what things are but what they may have been, Every lead mfne fo a silver mine and every silver mine 4s a lead mine all the world over, says Donald Murray. It is curfous, too, that these methods come together In the order, tons of lead, ounces of silver. Why should this be? It is suggested that the silver is a disintegration prod- uct of lead. Once on a time the silver particles broke away and experiment? might show that they are still break- ing away and leaving the lead, In the same way copper and gold often occur curiously together. Who will take the trouble to free by the usual erystalllz: ing process ten tons of lead from all traces of silver, then put it aside for ten years and test again for silver by the same process?

The edge of Death Valley, where Annually many treasure hunters have perished in their seareh for gold, was the scene of one of the most pleasing Incidents in the tnitial trip of the Los Angeles Limited. The shadows ot night had fallen upon the desert when that point was reached on the home ward mn, and the thoughts of most of the eastern newspaper representatives fn the brilliantly Mumined train were centered upon their faraway homes, wondering What the little ones were doing—probably yearning to be with them. While they were thus engross- ed Santa Claus was busily engaged planning a surprise; and a delightfal surprise {t proved to be. When everything was ready the guests of the Union Pacific Railroad | Company were called into their spe- cial car, a state-room door swung back ‘on its hinges, and there stood reveal: ed a Christmas tree, glittering with tinsel and filled with presents, one or more for each guest.

A prospective Boston bridegroom who meant to be master in his own house, called on the well-known clergyman, Rev C. W. Wendt, who was to tie the knot the following day, "I have heard," he said, "that you emit the word 'obey' from the marriage service. Will you kindly insert it to morrow?" Mr. Wendt obliquely promised to do so. "Wilt thou Lince, promise to love, honor, and obey," was promptly answered by the bride without demur. The same question was put to the groom, who hesitated, stammered, and gulped, but answered, as had his bride, "I will," probably not wishing to create a scene. Later he reproached the minister. "But you asked me to use the word 'obey,'" said Mr. Wendt, with a twinkle in his eyes; "how was I to know that you wanted it for the lady only? You should have been more explicit"—Argonaut. Cause and Effect "I suppose he clasped you in his arms when the canoe upset?" "No; quite the opposite." "Quite the opposite?" "Yes; the canoe upset when he clasped me in his arms." AN URGENT APPEAL. President Paul Morton was entertaining at Manhattan beach 750 agents of the Equitable Life. An agent fro the west asked Mr. M Morton if he believed that advertising benefited life insurance. "Good advertising," the other answered, "benefits every form of business." "But what is good advertising?" said the agent. "Good advertising," returned Mr. Morton, "is the kind that strikes home, the kind that gives you a friendly feeling toward a concern. It makes you believe that it will be pleasant and profitable to deal with the a'vertiser. "A Derott grocer, in my boyhood, inserted in the papers an advertisement that I think was a good one. I still remember it. It ran: "Twins are come to me for the third time. This time a boy and a girl. I beseech my friends and patrons to support me stoutly." Oldest National Speaker Joseph G. Cannon is the oldest man ever elected speaker of the national house of representatives. He was also lone member of that body before becoming speaker than any other presiding officer. The youngest speaker the house ever had was R. M. T. Hutter of Virginia, who was only 30 years old and in his second term when chosen to preside. Electricity From Coal. In the opinion of Thomas A. Edison, wonders are yet to be unfolded in the world of electricity. "We are groping on the verge of another great epoch in the world's history," he said in an interview at his laboratory in West Orange. "It would not surprise me any morning to wake up and learn that some one, some group of the 300,000 scientific men who are investigating all over the earth, has seized upon the secret of electricity by direct process, and begin another practical evolution in human affairs. "It can be done. It will be done. I expect to see it before I die." "The first great change in the production of electricity will abolish carrying coal for that purpose," he said. "Instead of digging gross material out of the earth, loading it on cars, and carrying it, say, 500 miles, there to put it under a boiler and burn, and so get power, we shall set up plants at the mouth of miles, generate power there, and transmit it wherever it is needed by copper wire." "How many times has your husband been under the knife?" "Dear me, I don't know; but he's become so accustomed to it that he lies down to be operated on every time he sees a doctor."—Chicago Record-Herald. Jumping at Conclusions. "I'm entertaining Miss Sniggs, the most popular girl in our class," said the Bryn Mawr girl: "I'd like you to meet her." "No, thank you," replied Dick: "I'm not interested in homely girls." "Why, how did you know she was homely?" "She must be, or she wouldn't be so popular with you other girls; also, you wouldn't want me to meet her." —Philadelphia Press. Didn't Get a Key. Mr. Slimpurse—I see the kitchen clock is got going. Didn't you get a key to day? Mrs. Compurse—"No." "Let you as you were going into a jeweler's." "Yes, but Mrs. Stuckup happened to be there looking at some pearls. You don't suppose I'd ask for a five-cent kitchen-clock key under those circumstances, do you? "What did you do?" "I asked how long it would take them to clean a diamond necklace, and came out." What We're Coming To. "Cold winter ahead," declared Uncle Goshall Hemlock "How can you tell?" he was asked. "Didn't you hear the wild geese honk in' this mornin'" "Oh, that was Jed Busby's new automobile." "Thunder! Gol darn it all. That jest shows what the kentry's comin' to." THE SPOTTED FAWN. (The following is by an unknown author and has not been in print for many decades.) By Macaturah's flowery marge An Indian wigwam stood. Long ere the white man's rifle rang Loud throughout the echoing wood. The tomahawk and scalping knife Together lay at rest; For peace was in the forest shade, And in the redman's breast. Chorus Oh! the Spotted Fawn; Oh! the Spotted Fawn. The life and light of the forest shade, With the red calef's child is gone. By Macaturah's flowery marge The Spotted Fawn had birth, And grew as fair an Indian girl As ever graced the earth. She was the red chief's only child, And wooed by many a brave. But to the gallant young White Cloud Her plighted troth she gave. Chorus— By Macaturah's flowery marge A bridal song arose. Nor dreamed they on that festal night Of close encircling foes. But through the forest But through the stealthy forest The white man came in wrath, Firey darts before them hurled, And blood was in their path. Hard to Bribe. Father—"I am determined to do something to prevent you from marrying oat scapegrace to reform him. As I can, orive you, I'll bribe you, is there anything that would tempt you to give him up?" Daughter—"No, notaining that I can think of unless it's another scapegrace." THE EMPRESS OF JAPAN The empress of Japan is a noble and inspiring character, says the Chicago News. Her name is Haruko, and she is the daughter of a noble of the highest rank. She is two years older than the mikado. Her marriage took place in 1868. A further indication of the sacredness in which the imperial personages are held is shown by the incident which occurred when it was determined that the court ladies should adopt European dress. At this time great difficulty was experienced in getting clothes to fit her royal highness. The profane hands of a dressmaker could not be allowed to touch the personage of the empress, so a court lady had to pose as a model until the garments were gradually made to fit. Needed them in his business: Miss Gotrox—Nearly all my admirers think I should be able to get tips from you on the market. Gotrox—Encourage them in that belief, my dear. It won't be long before I'll be ready to unload the stock I'm carrying—Puck. Ladies or Gentlemen Wanted Everywhere: $3.00 a day selling our toilet goods. Write at once. C.
