MAKE AMENDS OR FIGHT All England Aroused Over Act of Czar's Fleet in Sinking Fishing Vessels. ```markdown ``` VOL. XX. MAKE AMEN All England Aroused Fleet in Sinking RUSSIANS COWERING St. Petersburg Government Hasten's to Promise Full Reparation for Terrible Mistake Made. Official news of the Russian Baltic fleet firing on the British fishing vessels reached Washington Monday in a cablegram to the state department from the American consul at Hull, England. He recited the facts as stated in the press dispatches and added that great excitement prevailed there. The British government Monday afternoon sent urgent notes of protest to the Russian government on the subject of the Russian attack on the British fishing fleet in the North sea through both Ambasador Hardingo and the Russian ambasador in London. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne reached London Monday afternoon and after gathering the latest details known at the foreign office regarding the firing on the British fishing boats by the Russian squadron, proceeded to Buckingham palace, where he had a lengthy interview with King Edward. The latter telegraphed a message of sympathy to the mayor of Hull. After the conference, Lord Lansdowne addressed a strong protest to Ambasador Hardinge for presentation to the Russian government. Special stress is laid on the callousness displayed by the Russians in not going to the assistance of the fishermen. Lord Lansdowne asks that immediate redress shall be made. It is believed in government circles that the Russian government will take the earliest opportunity to give satisfaction, and it appears to be expected that Russia will explain the affair, adding that the Russian officers had reason to believe that there were mines, or ships with mines, in the neighborhood where the fishing fleet was attacked. In the absence of Count Benckendorf the Russian charge d'affaires called at the London foreign office Monday afternoon to express deep regret at the occurrence. BENCKENDORFF GUARDED. Count Benckendorff, the Russian ambassador, returned to London Monday night from celebrating his silver wedding with his wife's relatives in Silesia, and barely escaped assault from a crowd at the Victoria station, which followed almost into the embassy. Fortunately for the issue of peace or war, nothing resulted; yet throughout Monday night a special force of police was compelled to guard the Russian embassy. Count Benckendorff has been always regarded in London official circles as a friend of peace, and he was much opposed as was Count Lamsdorff, to the Russian-Japanese war. Indeed, he is almost an Anglophile in sentiment. There is no doubt that Count Benckendorff's feelings were deeply wounded by Monday night's demonstration. the foreign office the slinking of the British fishing vessels was deplored. The authorities expressed the hope that the unfortunate affair will be adjusted speedily and amicably. The press reports are so startling that M. Selzonoff, the Russian charge d'affaires, in London, in the temporary absence of Ambassador Benckendorf, was instructed to express to the Brit- Simple Reason for Removal of Post- Master at Gainesville, Ga. A Washington dispatch says: Upon the report of a special postoffice inspector, in which it was shown that Mr. Farrow, postmaster at Gainesville, Ga., was not a resident of the com- munity, Postmaster General Wynne promptly issued an order for his removal from that office. This case is declare to be a simple one. The law had been violated, as the inspector clearly showed, and the postmaster general promptly right- the wrong by ordering Mr. Farrow's removal. The Savannah Tribune. ish government the intense regret and grief with which reports had been received and the desire of Russia to make reparation. It was also decided to prepare a semi-official note expressing the regret of the Russian government and its willingness to make full reparation. This step will, it is hoped, mollify the British government and pave the way for an honorable diplomatic adjustment. British Ambassador Hardinge called upon Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, and impressed upon him the extreme gravity of the affair. Count Lamsdorff expressed horror and regret at the occurrence. TO FEDERAL COURT Case of Lynchers at Huntsville Goes as Outcome of Judge Jones' Recent Charge to Grand Jury. A- Huntsville, Ala., special says: After spending over two weeks in investigating the lynching of Horace Maples, as well as other violations of the law, the United States grand jury turned in a sensational report Monday. Twelve indictments were returned, several of which were against alleged lynchers. The grandd jury recites that the mob was repeatedly notified that Maples would be given a speedy trial, that no one can believe that the prisoner would have been shown any favor or immunity from punishment for his crime, and that if he had not been a negro, the lynching would never have occurred. The report continues: "We invoke the sense of justice, of right, of civilization and of honor of the people of our section that they may see from this time forth that the law enforced, its majesty recognized and sustained and mob violence and its sure companion, anarchy, shall be suppressed and punishment inflicted upon those who participate in it. "Our people must stand steadfast and firm for law and order, for without these there can be no security or protection for the life, character, person or property of any of our citizens. Few can be induced to believe that had Maples been a white man charged with killing a negro he would have been thus robbed of his life and deprived of a trial in the courts and an opportunity to disprove the charge made against him. The white people of this section of the south feel that they owe a duty to the negro race, which has occupied and still occupies an inferior position to theirs, and there can be no higher or greater from a superior to an inferior race. "The law must be vindicated, order maintained and an anarchy abolished and punished. If this cannot be done by one agency, then rational and honest men should welcome its accomplishment from any source by which punishment and prevention may be lawfully administered. Should these crimes bring upon our people what some may consider as outside tribunals to those made exclusively by the state, the chief blame will be due to the failure of our own people to respect the law and those who violate it." Judge Thomas Jones, in discharging the grand jury, delivered an eloquent tribute to the jury and said that in after years the people would rise up and bless the memory of the jurors who had made so fearless and so patriotic a report. He said he did not care for the slings and arrows of those who are false leaders of the people, that no man who enjoyed the consciousness of doing his duty ever did. He knew that he was, right and was willing to allow the honest judgment of eighty-five millions of people to pass upon the righteousness and the findings of the grand jury. Misouri Woman Claims City Property In Augusta, Ga. Mrs. Will Martin, of Independence, Mo., threatens to enter suit for about one-half of Augusta, Ga. If her claims should be allowed by the courts she would get all that portion of the city west of Cumming street and from the river to the city limits south. Mrs. Martin states that the present owners of the land have no good titles. On the other hand, real estate men say her claim will be futile, as the titles in the locality described are gilt edge.

ENGLAND TO HEAR FROM Hull Fishing Fleet Shelled In North Sea Without Apparent Provoca- dispatch . from Hull, England, says: M. Jackson & Company, solicitors for the owners of the fifty Hull fishing boats have notified the foreign office and admiralty at London of an attack on the Hull fishing fleet by the Russian Pacific fleet, commonly known as the Baltic squadron, commanded by Vice Admiral Rojestvensky. The official information is that shortly after midnight Friday the Russian squadron fell in with the Hull fishing fleet in the North sea. The first portion of the fishing fleet passed safely. Then the Russian ships turned their searchlights on the British vessels for some time, and a little later opened fire, many of the crew being seriously injured. The steam trawler Crane was sunk and the decapitated bodies of her skipper and mate, Messrs, Smith and Leggett, have been brought to Hull. The boatswain and other members of the crew who are understood to be seriously wounded, are on board a mission ship. The only slightly injured member of the crew has arrived at Hull. Fishing Boats Badly Hiddled. The news has created an intense sensation, and indignation in Hull. The Moulmein arrived with her flag at half mast. Her skipper states that the trawlers were fishing about 220 miles east by north of Spurn Head at 1 o'clock Saturday morning, the weather being hazy, when the outlines of several vessels, apparently warships, sailing in a line were dimly seen. While the crew were watching the warships searchlights were flashed upon them, in the flare of which the Moulmein's crew observed what they took to be torpedo boats approaching, apparently with the intention of boarding the Moulmein. They steamed away, however, and soon the fishermen were horrified to find they were being fired upon. First one and then another trawler was struck, by flying shot. What seemed to be a round shot went through the Moulmein galley. The Mino, lying nearby, also was struck with many shots, but fortunately the damage was above her water line, and none of her crew was struck. The bombardment lasted about 20 minutes. When it had ceased the fleet sailed southward. No motive can be assigned for the extraordinary procedure of the Russian warships. According to other reports the affair occurred 200 miles off Spurn Head. The Russian ships were steaming in line. The leading ships passed without incident though most of the vessels turned searchlights on the trawlers long enough to prevent any mistaken identity. After the bulk of the squadron had passed, it opened fire, nearly all participating in the firing. The Crane was struck below the water line and raked above deck. Skipper Smith and Third Hand Leggett had their heads carved clean away by a shell, many of the crew being seriously wounded. Another trawler also was sunk, but the Sea Gull, which arrived later and brought the news to Hull, has no particulars as to her fate. Filfering by Soldiers Not So Extensive as First Reported. A Washington dispatch says: The special board appointed to appraise the damages suffered by farmers near Manassas, Va., as a result of the maneuvers, has completed its work, pacing the total at $13,700, which is much less than was expected. TAFT GOING TO PANAMA. Will Confer With President of Little Republic Regarding Differences. A Washington special says: The president has instructed Secretary of War Taft to proceed at an early date to Panama to confer with the president of that republic with a view to compromising the differences that have arisen between the two countries. A lengthy letter has been sent by th president to the secretary of war after a conference with the secretary of state and the secretary of war, in respect to conditions in Panama. CZAR WIRES APOLOGY. Russian Ruler Deplores Astounding Blunder Perpetrated By Baltic Fleet—Report Awaited. A St. Petersburg dispatch says: Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's reason for firing into the British fishing fleet remains as great a mystery as ever. Meanwhile, without waiting for the Russian version of the affair, Emperor Nicholas, through Ambasador Hardinge, has sent to King Edward and the British government a message expressing the profoundest regret for the unfortunate affair coupled with assurances that the families of the victims should receive the fullest reparation. The British government also shows moderation in the note which Sir Charles Hardinge presented to Foreign Minister Lamblorff Tuesday afternoon. While it awaits explanation for an act which it characterizes in strong language as unjustifiable, unjust and inhuman, it makes no threats, fixes no time limit for response and contains no 'demands', the note specifically stating that Great Britain's demands are reserved pending receipt of an explanation. The willingness of Great Britain 12 await the Russian explanation before formulating demands shows consideration for the situation in which Russia has been placed by a deplorable blunder. At the same time this consideration has an omnious ring about it, only serving to emphasize the gravity of the situation. What the nature of the demands will be must necessarily be a matter of speculation until Admiral Rojestvensky's report arrives, but if the important allegation in the note is established, namely that the Baltic squalron actually changed formation before fire, it would seem to fix the responsibility upon Rojestvensky; and whoever the author of the offense may be, it is regarded as certain that Great Britain will demand, among other things, his punishment. It is also considered certain that failure to promptly comply with the demands will be immediately followed by Ambassador Hardinge's recall. Although some nervousness is perceptible in diplomatic circles, generally speaking, there is the greatest confidence both among diplomats and high officials of the government that the affair will be amicably adjusted. Wife Murder Charge Against Ex-Mayor of Charlottesville Belg Alred. At Cnarrlottesville, N. C., Tuesday, ex-Mayor McCua was placed on trial for the alleged murder of his wife. Dr. Frank McCue, a brother of the defendant was the first witness. He was called to the home of the accused about 9:15 on the night of the tragedy. He said when he got inside the house he met the brother now on trial at the staircase, who said to him that 'here was some one in the house who had attacked him and probably "had got Fannie" his wife. He detailed the finding of the dead body of Mrs. McCue, clad in a night robe, in the bath tub on the second floor, and described the wounds, there being one on the right ear, another on the left side of the nose and a gunshot wound in the breast. The water was running in the tub at the time. On coming out of the bath room, witness told his brother of the finding when the latter exclaimed: "Oh! my darling wife." As the witness repeated this, the accused buried his face in a handkerchief and burst into tears. The witness also told of the finding of a gun and a baseball bat in the room, the latter bearing a red stain near the end. The exhibits were identified by witness. Contracts Lettor Canal Timber. The Panama canal commission at Washington has awarded to the Bullingham Bay Company, of San Francisco, operating in the Puget sound region, the contract for 2,200,000 feet of lumber, and the Continental Lumber Company, of Houston, Tex., for 500,000 feet. CONTENTION OF PANAMANS. Little Republic Wants Canal Treaty Modified in Important Respects. A Washington dispatch says: Modification of the Hay-Bunau-Varilla canal treaty in several important respects and the negotiations between the Washington and Panama governments of a supplementary commercial treaty granting to Panama important concessions is what the Panamans hope to obtain as a result of Secretary Taft's mission to the isthmus, according to a statement made to the Associated Press by Senor Obandia, Panaman minister at Washington. SAILED TEN MILES Air Ship Made a Successful Trial at St. Louls. ASTON18HED THE NATIVES Though Driving Motor Was Broken at the Start, the Machine Remained In Air and Was Piloted to a Propelled part of the way by its own power and the remainder of the distance by the wind, which was blowing at 10 miles an hour. The Arrow, an airshir owned and perfected by Thomas E., Baldwin, of San Francisco, in charge of A. Roy Knabenshue, of Toledo, Tuesday made an unannounced flight of 10 miles from the fair-grounds at St. Louis across the Mississippi river to Cayochi, Ills. The aerial performance attracted the attention of thousands of persons who cheered almost continuously as the big flying machine passed over the buildings of the business quarter of St. Louis. Clinging to the framework, his precarious foothold being an iron tube that forms one side of the base of the triangular network of support and ribs of the Arrow's body, Knabenshue directed the movements of the flying machine and maneuvered in circles against the wind high over the great buildings of the exposition, before an accident to the motor rendered the big fan propellers useless and curtailed his command of direction, but not of suspension or descension. When the motor broke, Knabenshue maneuvered the flying machine into the wind, and he was enabled to steer the Arrow in a course that varied several points either way from the trend of the wind and to land at a point of his own selecting. When within ten feet of the earth Knabenshue threw out his grapple and one of the hooks caught in a large tree. The large balloon settled slowly to the ground, resting lightly on its frame work. Knabenshue alighted, secured the airship to precent injury from the wind and assured Mr. Baldwin by telephone that the Arrow was uninjured, except for the minor breakage of the motor. The flight occupied exactly one hour. The motor broke about fifteen minutes after the airship left the aeronautic concourse. The airship was constructed under the personal supervision of Captain Baldwin in California, and differs in many features from ships constructed in the past. On the ship Captain Baldwin places his hopes of winning the $100,000 prize at the fair. The gas balloon is cigar shaped, of Japanese silk, 54 feet long and 17 feet in diameter, and requires 8,000 cubic feet of gas to inflate it. The frame attachment is thirty feet long. It carries a double cylinder, 7-horse power gasoline engine, making 2,000 revolutions of the propellers a minute possible. The machine is arranged so that it is pulled instead of pushed. The flight was not a trial for the world's fair $100,000 prize. Captain Baldwin said it was simply a trial to convince the residents of St. Louis and the world's fair visitors that he had an airship that could fly. And Murder of Her Husband, Walline Gets Six Years. In the Fulton superior court, at Atlanta, Andrew A. Walline was found guilty of manslaughter for the killing of Frank E. Brett, a football and baseball coach, whom he shot to death in his boarding house, and was given a sentence of six years. Walline was charged with having killed Brett because of the orders of Brett to keep his door closed while he was dressing. Mrs. Brett, in passing to and from her room, was compelled to see into Walline's room, which was opposite, in the event he had the door open. Russians and Macedonians excel in making dynamite bombs.

In his sermon on Sunday night last, Rov. A, M. Williams of Trinity Methodist church acored the mana- gera of the recent State election for voting “his- name and others. The charge being a public one, it now becomes the duty of the grand jury to investigate it. Such viglation of the laws should not be allowed to go by unnoticed. Those who tamper with the ballot should be punished. Rev. Williams’ charge of stuffing the ballot box should be fully investi- gated, THE time for arguments is gone by and the issues in the presidential slection are well defined and settled. The opponents of Mr. Roosevelt fight him simply becaues he is a Re- publican and was nominated by the party of Lincoln and Grant and Garfield and McKinley.

Junaz Hausonp of Angusts, in bie charge to the grand jury termi- nated by using the following strong terms: “ Let us preach and practice peace and good willto all men, But the question that con fronts us is law or anarchy. ‘The lyncher Is an anarchist, and he must be re- Sisted ; yeato thedeath, The value of the lyncher’s life must not be weighed against that of his perhaps worthless and wretched victim, but against the life of the law, the law to which all good citizens look for ptotection and for the righting of thelr wrongs, The life of the lyncher is for- feited when bis living means the death of the law.” a eH ‘DHE local daily papers-sre any- thing but definito'in their summing up of the findings of the recent court-martial, atid proves that they cannot'be trasted with the best in- terest of the public. Itremains for the Constitution to be bolder than the others and assert in an editorial that: “However extreme the decision may seem; it must be manifestly plain that it was the duty of the court, id its'view , of the testimoay before it,’ to recommend the extremest punishment. The problem facing the snilitary court was one calling torno halfway measures. Whoever was responsible for the failure of the military to do its duty at Statesboro administered ‘a blow not only to the state soldiery, but to the state itself, which was most damag: ings * * * “If rhe government of this state is to be respected it must demonstrate its power as a government, and there is no time when, this must be more certainly done than when it comes to dealing with any phase of the lynching problem. “The action of the military court means that hereafter when Georgia troops are called out to prevent lynching and keep down mobs the guns of the.soldiers will be loaded and the officers will not hesitate when the emergency comes to maintain the supremacy of the law and the authori. ty of the state at any cost.’” AT times we become discouraged when we note the large number of men in this city and county who are holding lucrative positions, and others who are receiving good wages ag laborers and yet who persistently refuse to do their duty asa citizen by paying their poll tax. In this respect theres little wonder that those of the opposite race treat us with such alight respect. But we will not ve discouraged and will con- tinue to prod our old:‘men and young oaoes toc, abuut fullfiling their daties like good citizens. THE afternoon paper of this city, aquirming under the charge of fraud at the late State election in this ‘conaty, instead of answering that charge tries to throw mud at Rev. Williams by attempting to read him ont of the Demooratic party. When a person has no argument in rebuttal this is the step generally taken, Rev.

Washington ad dressed a great throng of people at the Northeast Georgia Fair Asso ciation, Athens, Ga., on the 15 inst, upon invitation of the leading edn- eators of the town supplemented by that of the officers of the Fair Asso- ciation and all the city and county officials. Prof. Washington spoke in his us- usual eloquent and forceful manner, and rasped both races, black and white with glovea off, for their crimes of commissions and omission, and pointed outin plain manner the way of bringing about unity, har- mony and prosperity of the races in the South. The Atlanta Constitu- tion speaking editorially of his effort on this occasion says: “In his address’ delivered yesterday at the Northeast Georgia Agricuttaral Fair at Athens, Principal Booker T. Washing- ton, of the Tuskegee Normal and Industri- al Institute discussed the problems with which the people of his race—and also the white of the Sopthern States—have to deal, with the good common sense which chatacterizes all of his utterances. In preaching to his own race the dignity of labor, the value of intelligent education, the necessity for ritycal elevation, he gives advice which must befajlowed if that race is to uplift; in poiniicy to the white people the responsi resene. upon them, he follows the examMfe of the white men here in the South agent umder- stand the magnitude of the riice problem.

Peoria into the churning sea bélleved he could successtully do. Bo’s’n Deery halls from Brooklyn and has been In the navy many years, He is a tall, broad-shouldered man, with great, long, powerfa! arms and = mighty chest, which is the envy of all apprentices. Like nfany men of his type, Lis disposition fs as sunny as that of a child. He is quiet and mod- est, bat in one little way and another he has given so many exhibitfons of his cool courage and ability to do dif- Scult things that whenever there is an especially de)leate job on hand there ds a demand for Deers. + Wheh Lieutenant England was as- signed to bring the Adder to Annapo- i with the naval tug Peoria, the first map he asked for was Deery. To-day deVis sitting back and congratulating ‘himself on his yery fine judgment, for, ‘however willing any other man he might have selected would have been to risk his life to save such @ valua- dle piece of machinery as the Adder, there are very few who could have done the thing successfully, * When the wind began to blow and the seas to run high on Wednesday afternoon the little tug nnd her pree- ious tow were off the Delaware Break- ‘water. At 10 o'clock that night off "Cape Henry the Mocassin hat niready got adrift from hor towing craft, the Yankton, and although in great trou- ble bimsel?, Lieutenant England was making every effort to catch her tow line or to assist the cfai of the little graft to get over ati anchor of sulficient ‘ower to hold her in the heavy seas. ‘All night this delicate work kept. up, ind Qnally the Mocassin was caught. <o turn her, however, it was necessary to expose her for 2 moment broadside to the sea, and at that moment tle towing pin broke again and once more the obstinate little boat was'free to toss about in the trouch of the sea. ‘ An a frantic effort to get ker aga'n the Peoria suececded in snapping,the hawser by which.she held the Addct, just as precious a charge as the Mo- ‘cassin, It was with a sinking heart what Lientenant England saw the Mt- We submarine float away th the heavy sea. He didn't lose his head, though, Dut realizing that there was only one chance, piped all hands aft and called for a velinteer to plunge into the sea add carry a line to the Adder. . ‘This was like calling for Deery, aud the big boatswain didu’t disappoint. With a respectful salute he stepped fqr- ward. In a few minutes his shoes were off, his mates had freed him from his blouse and trousers and a light line had been fastened around his’ waist.

It appears that Captain Henry Mar- fotte, U.S. A., retired, originated the story of catching a trout In one of the pools of the Yellowstone Park ind boiling it for his dinner by dropping 4t, while still on Lis line, Into one ‘of the hat springs. “It’s a true story,” sald Captain Marcotte to a reporter of the St, Paul Pioneer Press, “and it originated in this way. We crossed the Yellowstone River on our way to Bozeman, and founded the Yeilowstone army post. Our party was the firet that had seen the river since Lewis and Clarke discovered it in 1804. 1 caught the original fish and bolled him in a hot spring not ten feet away, and then wrote the Chicago Tribune: ‘f can stand in these mountains with my fishing line, catch a fish in a pool of water on one side, and toss it into a pool on the other side, where dt will boll for dinner,’ The Tribune printed es but Its staff set me dowd ‘oma-first-class Har, and évery Gu wh8 read thé tale believed thé samé thing, “Tinies bavé changed, and the rail- road has been built, aha the children of thé people who called me the orig: {nal Yellowstone Har are now standing by that river, catching fish and boll ing them ®¥ery summer; ‘Then they wrlte home abdut it and keep the story alive. The party of surveyors sent out by the promoters of the new rall- way were accompanied by six com- panies of regplars, as the country was thei full of hostile Indians, who were ready, to massacre any lone white man, We set out in the early summer of 1871 from Fort Rice, on the Missourl, some miles from the present city of Bismarck, S. D., and plodded west- ward all summer until we came to the Bad Lands, The country was new and strange to us, and we lost our way and would never have come out had it not been for our Indian guldes, who pi- loted us through the fantastic region. Late in the fall we finally reached Bozelman, Mont., which was the end 6? our journey. It took many weeks to cover a distance that is now coveréd by Northern Paclfic trains $4 about eighteen hours. From Bozeman othér partl@& were sent Out, and they final- jy found the way through the moun- tains over which the railway was built later. It has been an exceeding- ly interesting experience to travél over the same ground on comféttable train’ and to think about the hardships of our 650-mile tramp in the early daya. The development of the country has been amazing and beyond our ekpetta= tions.” Captalh Marcotte was at the thme in €émmand of one df the six companies | sent out!in 1871 to guard the ehgineers | who were trying to find a way to the Pacific Ocean for the Northern Pas cific.—Army and Navy Journal. A STATESMAN’S PLUCK, No atatesinan in the House of Con- mons has had a more adventurous ca- reer than Mfr, J. J. O'Kelly, the mem: ber for Roscommon. Forty years ago Mr. O'Kelly enlisted in France's For- eign Legion and saw fierce fighting ‘with the Arab tribes of Algeria. -A year or two later his regiment was or- dered té Mexico to support the ill-fat- ed Emperor Mamimilian, and here, af- ter taking part in a number of en- gagements, the young Irishman was made a prisoner by the enemy. Mr. ‘O'Kelly, however, escaped, and after many exciting adventures, succeeded in reaching United States territory. His next exploit was a journalistic one. Cuba was in revolt, and an American newspaper intrusted Mr. O'Kelly with the perilous task of pen- etrating the insurgents’ lines in order to gather at first hand the reasons for the insurrection. The Spanish military authorities in the island were polite but firm. They Intimated to the cor- respondent that if they captured hint in attempting to join the enemy they would have bim shot. This did not de- ter Mn O'Kelly from making the at- tempt, and ultimately he succeeded. On his return he was taken prisoner by the Spaniards and thrown into a dungeon. Threats and cajolery were applied with the object of inducing him to betray the military disposition of the insurgents, but he remained absolutely silent. Eventually he was sent a prisoner to Spain, and there his friends were able to obtain his re lease.‘ But Mr. O’Kelly’s adventures were not yet over. He accémpanied the United States troops in their cam- paign against the redoubtable Sitting Bull, and he saved the life of the Em? peror of Brazil in a collision off Rio Janeiro. In the early days of the Sou- dan trouble again he made a bold but unsuccessful attempt to reach? the Mahdi, with the idea of interviewing that remarkable personage for the benefit of a London newspaper. Ernest Clegg, the thirteen-year-old Philadelphia boy,«who was taken from two strangers in Louisville, Ky., after he had been terribly beaten, returned to his home, 2512 North Fifth street, yesterday afternoon. With his mother and friends about him, the Jad last night told a remarkable story of his sufferings while traveling through the South. His body is covered with bruises, mute evidence of the treat- ment he had received at the hands of the beggars, and he was in a condi- tion bordering on collapse for waht of rest. His clothing, dirty and torn, barely covered his emaciated little body. The boy said that he first met the beggars by answering an advertise- ment in this city. At that time the men said they, were book agents. “They treated me well durimg our stay here,” he said, “but shortly after getting on the road they got brutal. In less than a month I was being kicked and beaten. When camping in the woods I tried several times to escape, but they watched me too closely. Sometimes there were as many as four or five tramps in our party. A man in Louisville saw one of the men: beating me one day and told the offi- cers of the Children’s Sotiety. Then the police surrounded, us and locked the tramps up. The soclety-took care of me and treated me well. I can't tell how glad I am to get home. I don't believe I want to travel any more.”—PhiladeIphia Ledger. * A Record Climb, : The record for climbing Pike's Peak was made recently by H. H.

LIONS AS DEER HUNTERS. More are Killed by These “Cate” Than by Bullets. ee More deer are killed every year in California by the mountain lions than by the bullets of the hunters. Next to the jaguar, the mountain lion ts the largest cat in the two Amer- fcas, and he is the champion deer slayer of the world. Within thirty or forty miles of Los Angeles he catches the fleet footed, graceful cteatures and waxes fat on the sweet flesh. He Knows no deer season other than all the time. ‘Wherever there is good deer coun- try In this or any other Southwest- ern State there is the best place to ‘look for Hons, and that is one of the reasons why the large herds of*deer ‘are restless, seldom staying long im ‘one locality. There is nothing they fear more than the sight or smell. of a mountain Hon. Not even the sud- den appearance of a hunter will 50 quickly drive them from a range of hills, The lon's method of hunting the deer is not unlike that of the blg cats of Africa and India in the pursuit of tlie antelope and deer of those coun* tries. Having found a spring or pool where the “desired game comes to water {at nightfall, the Ion selects an overhanging limb or ledge of rock, whence one leap will carry ‘him to the back or throat of his prey, and thereon, he lays himself in perfect stillness. In the gathering dusk the Iniperfect eye of the deer has little chance against the hidden terror, and the wind, usually his faithful ally, can help him not at all, for the lion is far too old a campaignor not fo lie up wind from the spring. "The deer comes. One leap from the mb or ledge, and the sharp teeth and powerful paws soon break the tehder neck. The storles that a California Iton can carry away a deer-have abundant proof. It was once the fortune of a hunter to follow the plain, broad trail of the heavy peds for halt a mile and then come suddenly on the place where the killer stopped to rest. There in plain outline was the im- print of the deer’s body; but for tHat whole distance the lon had carried it well up and clear of the ground—New York Herald. Carleton’s Treasury.

Who is the man that best succeeds In life's uncertain race; Who, step bp step, each rival leads, And take the foremost place? It is not he who seeks for aid Eve the contest is begun; It is the self-reliant man, Who leans on self alone. He meets his troubles as they come, As brave men meet their foes; Nor wastes his time in shivering, In dread of next year's snows. He lingers not where spendthrifts dwell, Live their short lives and die; He toils, he saves, and always asks His purse what he shall buy. I T was when the old Forty-fifth was in garrison at Madras — confound the country! with its heat, its insects and snakes, its dismal and overwhelming wet seasons and fevers and a dozen other disagreeable things to make life miserable. There was an uprising in a neighboring petty State, and a detachment of the Forty-fifth was ordered there post haste. Which does not mean much as to speed in a country with roads and a temperature such as India has. We duly arrived, however, and found that there was a pretty mess of it. that there was a pretty mess of it. The petty prince of the little province had been raising and keeping a standing army, consisting of thirty or forty lower caste Hindoos, whom he had armed with as many guns of an old-fashioned design, probably worked off on him by some junk dealer on the coast. * Whether the Oriental inclination for despotism had got to be a little harder than usual on the members of the standing army, or whether the army had found itself getting more powerful than its sovereign—for some reason it had revolted and deserted in a body, plundered the royal bungalow and some of the native residents of the station, and was at that time living a sort of bandit life in the neighboring jungle, swooping down on the place whenever provisions ran short, and taking whatever they wanted, with an incidental murder here and there. Major Barker, on learning all the circumstances and the amount of the force from the few English residents, said: "We'll put an end to this at once, sir; we'll stamp the rebellion out like that, sir" and he stamped his foot sharply on the matting, by sheer good luck catching one of the big roaches of that chime under his sole, which lent objective force to his declaration. Well, we did stamp them out very much like that—when we found them. But the finding of the rebels was the hardest part of the job, and, in spite of the major's contempt for the quality of the foe, it happened that he was to be the man who was to come the nearest to losing his life in a short campaign which was all but bloodless on our side. The undercurrent of rebellion against our English rule in India is well illustrated by the conduct of some of the mattres of this station, from whom we tried to find out the whereabouts of the rebellious standing army. Much as they were in fear of their fellow-countrymen's raids and barbarous atrocities, as between them and us their aid was given to the rebels. In a few days Major Barker had become furious. "They think they can fool us, do they? By gad, sir, I'll show them! We'll hunt them out, sir, and hunt them down, sir—in short order, too, by Jove!" So the major divided his detachment into several small reconnoitering parties to beat up the jungle very much as he would have done on a tiger hunt, with a systematic plan of progress and a series of stated rendezvous. The major, on his part, took two men with him, and I was one of them. Our party was smaller than any of the others, and I think the reason was that he wanted to express to the men, in a striking way, his utter contempt for the nature of the enemy. The major's zeal and bravery were beyond question; these and his hot-headedness were apt to be sources of misfortune to him occasionally. At the time referred to he dragged us on so eagerly and impatiently into the forest that on the very first day we completely lost ourselves, through not having time to take proper precautions to mark our path. The fact worried Dick Brace and me considerably, and we began to discuss the matter over the fire we built at dark that night with a view to keeping off the wild denizens of this Indian forest. We could not get much satisfaction from the major. "Lost, sir?" said he. "Lost! Absurd. These rascally Hindoos find their way back through these forests; how dare you imply, sir, that our Christian intelligence is unable to do the same? Don't speak that way again, sir, or I'll put you under arrest for disrespect to your commanding officer." Then the major lay down and went to sleep, while Dick Brace and I talked it over. It is just such men as the major that have the luck in this world. Next morning at dawn we were up and looking about for something to shoot for breakfast. It was the major who stumbled over the bird and shot it and at the same time he stumbled No evil pleasures case his toil; The purer saint suffice. For labor is his toil of life, And pleasure but its spice. He stints not gold when need demands, Nor irks his soul with doubt, When, though he would "lay money up", He also "lays it out." His acts are just, his pledge is kept, He tricks not, nor deceives; He deems that honest deeds are fruit; And empty words but leaves. He will not bond his knees to man— He'll cringe, he'll kneel to none; The brave, the self-reliant man. Kneels to God alone. over a trail that bore with it divers signs which would seem to indicate its use by the enemy. "There, sir," said the major, when we were forced to halt for a test flight in hour's march, "there, sir, you see the triumph of British instinct, if not intelligence, over cooly craft. You may call it luck, sir, my stumbling on this trail, but I, sir, call it superior instinct, born of keener intelligence." The major had risen, as he delivered this specimen of his logic and his philosophy, and he had hardly, got the words out of his mouth when there was a flash and a deafening report from some undergrowth a few yards away. The major drew his left arm up as if in pain and uttered an exclamation. The next moment he had turned and dashed right into the midst of the clump where the fire came from. I might as well say at this point that we all thought Major Barker, more or less of a born idiot in action, he was so confoundedly foolhardy; but for that very reason there was not a man in his command who did not feel himself morally-bound to take care of such an irresponsible person, as he would have of a child. So Dick and I bounded after the major, inwardly wondering if he was leading us into the arms of the whole forty. But the forty, more or less, were gone when we got to the spot; we could hear the crackling of bushes as they scampered off and we fired. several shots at them. The reason that the major did not keep on was that we heard the sounds of retreat going off in so many directions that he for a moment was puzzled as to which one to follow. This gave Dick and me the desired opportunity, and we seized it. That is, we seized the major and compelled him to sit down, for his left sleeve was dyed red and his left hand was dripping. "Confound you, what are you doing?" he cried. "Eh—my wound? Hang it—it's nothing. I don't even feel it. Eh? Hands off there. Forward!" But we would not let go our hold of him. "What, sirs; you will not obey? Consider yourselves under arrest, both of you. I—I—" He began to grow a trifle pale, probably from loss of blood, and he concluded to give in to our physical persuasion by sitting down. We ripped up his sleeve and found a gunshot wound through the muscles just above the elbow, and bleeding profusely. The bleeding was the only really serious thing about the wound, and Dick and I set to work like good fellows to make ligatures for the arm and bind it up, using the fragments of the major's shirt sleeves. We kept very silent, we were so busy. We were just tying our last knot, when the major said: "Hark!" We listened. In a moment we heard the distant rustle of bushes. Later the crackling of a twig. Other similar sounds followed at intervals, growing a little neater each time. They all indicated the stealthy approach of one or more skulkers. "They're coming back," whispered Dick. "They think we've retreated." "Retreated, sir," roared the major, spring to his feet and snatching the revolver from his belt. "Retreated! I'll show 'em!" He was off again. The last words were delivered as he ran. We sprang after him. Luckily we were in single file, for two tongues of fire shot out from an ambush just ahead, and we heard, two balls cut the leaves on either side of our line of progress. The major's action was so quick that he took the enemy by surprise, and dashed among them in their covert, before they could make off! There were four of them. The major's revolver spoke once—then there were three of them. We found the major as he was closed in upon by the three. One of them struck his right hand with a gun stock, just after he had fired his shot. The revolver fell to the ground, and the major was all but helpless. Dick and I could not shoot now, for the major was, too much mixed up with the black fellows; we each dropped our gun and tackled our man, using good old English rough and tumble tactics with them. Dick had his man on his back in an instant. Mine was more difficult. He had me by the throat—a very fair grip it was, too—and he kept his feet, in spite of my efforts. But in the struggle I cast my eye over his shoulder and I saw, close behind my man, the major thrown to the ground (thanks to his wounded arm) and, quicker than I can, tell it, a knife flashed in the hand of the turbaned foe. I saw it was raised high over the major as he struggled to rise. The sight gave me. superhuman strength. I literally wrenched my enemy's grasp free and hurled him backwards, down on the major's prostrate form—just as the knife descended. Then I launched one blind blow at the head of the assailant. The frankidous had successive actions weakened me to the point of taking away my senses for a moment. I reeled and fell. But when, a few seconds later, my strength came back and I regained my feet, I saw Dick rolling the body of a Hindeo off the major's prostrate form; and that Hindeo had a knife sticking in his side. As for the man I had struck at, I must have hit him pretty hard, because it was nearly half an hour before he came around; and as to Dick's man—well, he was harmless, for a time at least. The major rose to his feet, puffing and panting, and not quite understanding what had happened. Dick by chance, had had an eye on the proceedings, and explained to the major that, by my last superhuman effort, I had saved his life, by a clever interposition of my opponent's body. For my part, I claim that I had very little to do with it. It was mainly that rash child of a major's luck, say I—New York News. Modern Plumbing Methods Modern Plumbing Methods. The freezing up of a water pipe has lost many of its terrors. A badly frozen pipe used to mean two or more plumbers, the digging up of pipes, the building of fires and all sorts of other troubles. During the cold weather of last winter numerous water pipes froze, but many of the old lilts were done away with by means of a very simple device, depending on the heat generated by passing an electric current along a conductor. A wire was connected to the faucet of the frozen pipe, another connection made to a neighboring hydrant or the water pipe of a near-by house, and a current sent through the circuit. Since the iron pipe was a better conductor than the earth, the current passed along the pipe, heating it thereby. A service pipe seventy-five feet long could be heated to 145 degrees Fahrenheit by the passage of a current of 275 amperes with about eighteen volts. Care was necessary to avoid too powerful currents, which would overheat the pipes and injure them. The current was supplied from the service wires of electric companies, by storage batteries carried about from place to place, and in some cases by dynamos driven by small engines carried about on wagons. Digging down to the pipes is unnecessary, except in cases where a building is so isolated that hydrants or other pipe connections to the mains are not available. Even when digging must be resorted to no building of fires or other tedious processes are necessary. Strange Fate of an English Earl. "I came across a bit of treasure the other day," writes a Washington author, who is down on Cape Cod. "It is the log-book of the schooner Hera, which sailed from Boston on a day in the 70's. She sailed with a new first mate on board. "He seemed an ambitious man, and he understood navigation. The captain suspected him of a desire to be master of a vessel himself some day, but there was little about him to suggest that he was anything but a sailor. The third day out he was caught by the downhaul of the mizzen, and went overboard. His body was never recovered. When the Hera came back from her voyage she was met by two Englishmen. They had crossed the water post haste to find that first mate. Somebody had died in England, and—well, the man who was lost off that Yankee schooner was the Earl of Aberdeen."² Washington Post. When Rock Fitted in Florida The Cincinnati Enquirer says that at the Amateur Journalists' Convention in Baltimore a Philadelphian said of James M. Beck, who is one of the association's most distinguished members: "When we had our convention in Philadelphia Mr. Beck was the life of it. He kept the table in a roar. In repartee it was impossible to get the better of him. "At one time he was talking about fishing. "The best day's sport I ever had," he said, "was off the Florida coast. There were three of us; we cach had three rods, and all day long we pulled in fish as fast as we could throw out our lines. I forget, he added, thoughtfully, 'what kind of fish they were.' "Perhaps they were whales,' some one suggested. "Whales?" said Mr. Beck; "why, man, we were batting with whales." The Golf Dog. A friend writes to me to suggest a drop of oil of rhodium applied to the golf ball and a spainiel led round by the caddie. These, in this year of great grassiness and of Haskell balls at two shillings each, are distinct alds, as he says, to living within your income.

"Anyway," said the Cheerful Idiot as he looked over the Tired Citizen's shoulders at the picture of an Igorrot dog feast, "that's one part of the canine they don't seem to fancy." "What's that?" asked the Tired Citizen, accommodatingly. zen, accommodatingly. "The pants," replied the Cheerful Idiot, with loud laughter.—Baltimore American. G F INTEREST TO WOMEN TO DRESS BECOMINGLY. The woman with a longing to be thought picturesque and with an eye for color has a hard time in these days steering her way through the many pitfalls that surround her, and it in truth requires an immense amount of concentration of purpose not to lie astray by the picturesque fashions that in the illustrations look so much more attractive than they do on the individual. One rule should always be followed, that no style should be chosen that is markedly unbecoming. It is far better to dress according to the style of last year, provided that style was becoming, than to run the risk of being made a perfect fright by following too closely the exaggerated fashions of this summer—Halper's Bazar. COLONIAL KNOCKER THE FAD. It is now considered the proper thing, among other colonial revivals, to have a knocker placed on every bed chamber in the house. The knocker fad, started by the antique dealers, was taken up by the rich classes several years ago, who introduced brass knackers of colonial pattern upon their gates and doors. Houses of the ante-revolutionary days are the more picturesque by reason of their qualit escuteheons, door knobs and knackers, but they are closely rivaled by the modern house of colonial architecture, fitted with real antique fixtures. The latest phase of the fad is a knocker for each bedroom. The maid who awakens your guest in the morning does so, not by tapping or calling, but by giving two or three gentle raps with the knocker. The idea is rather a clever one.-Indianapolis News; BEAUTY'S GREATEST ORNAMENT BEAUTY'S GREATEST ORnament Beauty's greatest ornament is the hair at the back of the neck, if the pretty woman only understands how to utilize the locks. Very few artists are bold enough or daring enough to paint the female neck bare of curls, and there is hardly a famous ideal head in the picture galleries with the cars exposed. No matter how pretty and pink the tips of the feminine ears may be, the artistic eye loves to clothe them in soft ringlets, and no matter how graceful or swanlike may be the back of the neck it is much more artistic to dress it in small curls. If the hair does not grow prettily at the back of the neck try to train the locks down so that they will curl. If this cannot be done, then use a few artificial curls. Maybe the hair grows so wickedly at the back of the neck that the artificial curls cannot be used with good results, and in this case there is nothing to do but to dress the hair low. The woman who wants to please will surely not neglect to make a study of her hair dressing.—New Haven Register. PRETTY HOME MADE NECKLACE The woman who wants a collar, and who cannot obtain either a diamond one or a collar of pearls, can take heart, for there is an exceedingly pretty makeshift for her. She can wear a band of velvet around her throat, and upon this band of velvet she can wear strings of yellow stones—beads, really they might be called—except that they are of irregular size and shape, and so look very much richer than strings of beads commonly look. The making of these necklaces is a fine art. It requires strings and strings of fine elastic, of just the length to encircle the throat. And, after these are strung with their burden of old stones, the whole must be mounted upon a clasp which is, set at the back of the neck. These semi-precious necklaces sell for big prices in the store, but the woman of taste can gather her store and stock of beads and make them for herself. The key to the whole is the preservation of color. There should be more yellow than anything else, and the faint yellow tinge should prevail throughout the whole. WHAT TAGT MEANS. The secret of that marvelous influence certain persons possess over both men and women is usually to be found in their tact. And tact means thoughtfulness; not an appearance of it, but a real interest, a quick sympathy expressed in the grace of word and deed. We are all influenced by that charm; so deeply influenced that it might be wise to consider its equal power upon others. For, although it has its root in unselfishness and can only grow with painstaking care, it may be a matter of cultivation. Those who proclaim, "I haven't a particle of tact," simply acknowledge that they are self-absorbed. It need not develop into fussiness, which is tiresome; it should avoid inquisitiveness while it shows regard. It should not manifest itself in open flattery, though merited praise should be generously given. In speech tact avoids argument, contention, contradiction, unless truth itself is at stake, and then it may be gently uttered. Neither does it ruthlessly shatter ideals or dispel illusions. It represses egotism, feeble joking or silly irrelevancy, the flippant, the profane, the coarse, the cynical and the sneer. It does not paddle—while far from facing—it's owner's personality; it never teases, nor "quizzes," as the English say, nor, to go from speech to act, does it ever perpetrate a practical joke. That involves consideration, and yet more than that. It means neither sorrowing above nor sinking below the situation. It has a show of ease, hiding fatigue; neglect or watchfulness. In short, d course-grained person is hard to teach some of its ways, as the high-strung, find it as difficult to display yet other qualities. -Harper's flazar. SLAVE OF THE DRESSMAKERS. What mockery to prate of the equality of the sexes, says a writer in the Atlantic, when one sex possesses the freedom of uniform, and the other is the slave, of ever-varying costume! Think of the great portion of a lifetime we women are condemned to spend merely on keeping ourselves in style? Talk of our playing with scholarship or politics when we are all our days panting disheveled after scampering Dame Fashion, who, all our broken-minded lives, is just a little ahead! Yet dress-reform is the first article in our creed of antipathies, and I, for one, am last of ladies to declare myself a heretic. I am not ungrateful for the gift of sex and species. Suppose I were a fowl of the air—what condemnation of hooded gray, and soul unexpressed either by vocal or personality of plumage! Among things furred or feathered it is the male who dresses and the lady who wears uniform; that it is otherwise with human beings is due. I suppose, to some freakish bit of chivalry on the part of the autocratic Evolution, the ringmaster who puts the entire menagerie through their tricks. No, I would not be a fowl; let me not repine; let me at this business of dressing, pluckily. THE JAPANESD GEISHA GIRL; THE JAPANESD GEISHA GIRL. Mistaken conclusions regarding the Japanese Geisha are very often drawn by people who do not know. She is not necessarily a person of corrupted morals, but simply a woman educated to attract from childhood. The study of personal magnetism is hers through life, and although she is invariably a daughter of the lower class, with ugly fingers and homely hands, she could be classed above many modern women who have also made personality a study. The Geisha is extremely clever. Her dancing is one of the things in which she excels. Although our own women have tried to imitate her graceful movements and the fascinating rhythm of the body, it seems to be left entirely to the little dashing Malko to do it as it should be done. Her position in the beautiful land is one of importance and she graduates from her positions very much as our own little ones do from the schools. Her cultivated tongue is the most important of all her accomplishments and a really famous Gelsha has been known to keep nobles and even imperials in constant attendance upon her by her ready fire give-and-take conversation. After her time for beauty has passed, she has greater opportunity for becoming even more famous, and many of the little Gelshas who, after removing their sumptuous garments for the less attractive ones of blue and gray, have married into the best society and have even been known to mount the throne itself. In this country the actress is very much like the Gelsha, and the reputation of the Gelsha is viewed more or less the same as the actress—New Haven Register. FASHION NOTES. Sandalwood fans are in favor again. Haye two bodices for the black taffeta gown. Color will play a prominent part the coming season. Bolero jackets of lace and embroidery have a firm hold. Fashion arbiter agree that the 1830 modes have had their day. Skirts will be of two lengths, the in-step and the "all around." Lemons, apples, pears and peaches adorn some of the fall hats. There are bags of that bright new orange which appears so startling in belts. Myrtle as the darker shade, and lizard as the lighter one, are the two smart shades of green. To be correct a taffeta silk lining must be of a medium or light shade, preferably the latter, of the gown's color. The new coats for the fashionable walking costume will be of the Directoire, Louis XIV. and Louis XV. types. Rare bits of embroidery, frequently showing the art nouveau touch of gold, will adorn lapels, revers, collars and cuffs. Eoliennes and poplins will be the swagger stuffs for the more elaborate early autumn gowns and later for dinner and reception costumes. Long, wide vests of cloth, velvet or suede, adorned with buttons of the most beautiful description, will form a part of most fancy coats.

The following article has been widely published and is one of the most remarkable illustrations of the value of caretell marshalling and analysis of facts in presenting a subject to the public. LEVELERS. The Mission of Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee. The Creator made all things, we believe. If so, He must have made these. We know what He made: food and water, for, and air and sunshine, but why Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee? They are here sure enough and each perform its work. There must be some great plan behind it all; the thoughtful man seeks to understand something of that plan and thereby to judge these articles for their true worth. Let us not say "bad" or "good" without taking testimony. There are times and conditions when it certainly seems to the casual observer that these stimulant narcotics are real blessings. Night there is the ambush that conceals a "killing" enemy. One can slip into the habit of either whisky, tobacco or coffee easy enough, but to "untangle" is often a fearful struggle. It seems plain that there are circumstances when the harcotic effect of these poisons is for the moment beneficial, but the fearful argument against them is that seldom ever does one find a steady user of either whisky, coffee or tobacco free from disease of some kind. Certainly powerful elements in their effect on the human race. It is a matter of daily history testified to by literally millions of people that Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee are smiling, promising, beguiling friends on the start, but always Inside as hell itself in the end. Once they get him hard enough to show, their strength, they insist upon governing and drive the victim steadily towards ill health in some form; if permitted to continue to rule, they will not let up until physical and mental ruin sets in. A man under that spell (and "under the spell" is correct), of any one of these drugs, frequently assures himself and his friends, "Why, I can leave off any time I want to. I did quit for a week just to show I could." It is a sure mark of the slave when one gets to that stage. He wiggled through a week fighting every day to break the spell, was finally whipped, and began his slavery all over again. The slave (Coffee slave as well as Tobacco and Whisky) daily reviews his condition, sees perfectly plain the steady encroachments of disease, how the nerves get weaker day by day and demand the drug that seems to smile and offer relief for a few minutes and then leave the diseased condition plainer to view than ever and growing worse. Many times the Coffee slave realizes that he is between two tires. He feels bad if he leaves off, and a little worse if he drinks and allows the effect to wear off. So it goes on from day to day. Every night the struggling victim promises himself that he will break the habit and next day when he feels a little bad (as he is quite to-), breaks, not the habit, but his own resolution. It is nearly always a tough fight, with disaster ahead sure if the habit wins. There have been hundreds of thousands of people driven to their graves through disease brought on by coffee drinking alone, and it is quite certain that more human misery is caused by coffee and tobacco than by whisky, for the two first are more widely used, and more hidden and insidious in the effect on nerves, heart and other vital organs, and are thus unsuspected until much of the dangerous work is done. Now, Reader, what is your opinion as to the real use the Creator has for these things? Take a look at the question from this point of view. There is a law of Nature and of Nature's God that things slowly evolve from lower planes to higher, a sturdy, steady and dignified advance toward more perfect things in both the Physical and Spiritual world. The ponderous tread of evolutionary development is fixed by the Infinite and will not be quickened out of natural law by any of man's methods. Therefore we see many illustrations showing how nature checks too rapid advance. Illinois raises phenomenal crops of corn for two or three years. If she continued to do so every year her farmers would advance in wealth far beyond those of other sections or countries. So Nature interposes a bar every three or four years and brings on a "bad year." Here we see the leveling influence at work. A man is prosperous in his business for a number of years and grows rich. Then Nature sets the "leveling influence" at work on him. Some of his investments lose, he becomes luxurious and lazy. Perhaps it is whisky, tobacco, coffee, women, gambling, or some other form. The intent and purpose is to level him. Keep him from evolving too far ahead of the masses. A nation becomes prosperous and great like ancient Rome. If no leveling influence set in she would dominate the world perhaps for all time. But Dame Nature sets her army of "levelers" at work. Luxury, over eating and drinking, licentiousness, waste and extravagance, indulgences of all kinds, then comes the wreck. Sure, Sure, Sure. The law of the unit is the law of the mass. - Man goes through the same process. - Weakness - (in childhood), gradual growth of strength, energy, thrift, *probity, prosperity, wealth, comfort, ease, relaxation, self-indulgence, luxury, idleness, waste, de- bunchery, disease, and the wreck follows. The "levelers" are in the bushes along the pathway of every successful man and woman and they bag the majority. Only now and then can a moth stand out against these "levelers" and hold his fortune, fame and health to the end. So the Creator has use for Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee to level down the successful ones and those who show signs of being successful, and keep them back in the race, so that the great "feet" (the masses) may not be left too far behind. And yet we must admit that same all wise Creator has placed it in the power of moth to stand upright, clothed in the armor of a clean cut, steady mind and say unto himself, "I decline to exchange my birthright for a mess of potage. "I will not deaden my sense, weaken my grip on affairs and keep myself cheap, common and behind in fortune and fame by drugging with whiskey, tobacco or coffee; life is too short. It is hard enough to win the good things, without any sort of handicap, so a man is certainly a 'fool trader' when he trades strength, health, money, and the good things that come with power, for the half-asleep condition of the 'drugger' with the certainty of sickness and disease ahead." It is a matter each individual must decide for himself. He can be a leader and somal-gud if he will, or he can go along through life a drugged clown, a cheap 'hewer of wood or carrier of water.' Certain it is that while the Great Father of us all does not seem to "mind" if some of His children are foolish and stupid. He seems to select others (perhaps those He intends for some special work) and allows them to be threshed and castigated most fearfully by these "levelers." If a man tries flitting with these levelers awhile, and gets a few slaps as a hint, he had better take the hint or a good solid blow will follow. When a man tries to live upright, sican, thrifty, sober, and undrugged, manifesting as near as he knows what the Creator intends he should, happiness, health and peace seem to come to him. Does it pay? This article was written to set people thinking, to rouse the "God within," for every highly organized man and woman has times when they feel a something calling within for them to press 'to the front and "be about the Father's business;" don't mistake it; the spark of the Infant is there and it pays in every way, health, happiness, peace, and even worldly prosperity, to break off the habits and strip clean for the work cut out for us. It has been the business of the writer to provide a practical and easy way for people to break away from the coffee habit and be assured of a return to health and all of the good things that brings, provided the abuse has not gone too far, and even then the cases where the body has been rebuilt on a basis of strength and health run into the thousands. It is an easy and comfortable step to stop coffee instantly by having well-made Postum Food Coffee served rich and hot with good cream, for the color and flavor is there, but none of the caffeine or other nerve destroying elements of ordinary coffee. On the contrary, the most powerful rebuilding elements furnished by Nature are in Postum and they quickly set about repairing the damage. Seldom is it more than two days after the change is made before the old stomach or bowel troubles or complaints of kidneys, heart, head or nerves show unmistakable evidence of getting better and ten days' time changes things, wonderfully. Literally millions of brain working Americans to-day use Postum, having found the value and common sense in the change. Baby's Diagnosis. Seated on a bench in Central Park, a nurse girl was gently moving to and fro a perambulator in which was a baby of about fifteen months. At the other end of the bench was a man whose prominent lower jaw was adorned with a luxuriant beard, which parted in the middle and curved gracefully outward and upward. For several minutes the baby regarded the man and especially the whiskers with grave attention, while he looked at her with an air of lofty condescension. At length a beautiful smile overspread the little one's features. Then, with her blue eyes still fixed upon the whiskers, and kicking up her tiny feet in an ecstacy of delight, she gurgled: "Bow-wow! Bow-wow!" A wave of color suffused the man's face above the whiskers, and he hitched uneasily in his seat. It was an awkward situation, and to relieve it the nurse girl paired the baby and said: "No, dearie, that isn't a doggie." The man remained to hear no more—New York Press. Another One of Whistler. Anecdotes of Whistler are still turning up. Europe from one end to the other hums with the dead American painter's name. Whistler was in Parts at the time of the coronation of the King of England, and one evening at a reception at the Hotel Ritz a Duchess said to him: "Do you know King Edward, Mr Whistler?" "No, madam," said the painter. "Why, that is odd," one mutmured. "I met the King at a dinner party last year and he said that he knew you." "Oh," said Whistler, "that was only his brag." NÁVAJÓ BLANKET WEAVERS: Tribe has 25,000 People, and Most of Them are Polygamists. Navajo blanket weaving was studied at close range by P. D. Tull on his recent six months' tour to Arizona for his health, says the Spokane, Spokeman-Review, Mr. Tull, who is much, improved in health, is back to Spokane with some fine specimens of blankets which he personally picked up-whilo in the south. He said: "These Navajos are one of the largest tribes in the country, numbering over 25,000 Indians. Their reservation is equally large, and is situated in northwestern New Mexico and northeastern Afzonia. Outside of the reservation proper the government has granted them an additional strip of forty miles wide, known as 'grazing strip.' The tribe is self-supporting, and while they know little of agriculture, they own immensely herds of cattle, horses and sheep. It is from the latter that the women spin the wool and weave the blankets and rugs. "The Navajos are a roving tribe—when they settle for any time at one place they live in a dome-shaped building called a hogan." This is a form of adobo construction, made with poles and sticks and covered with mud. When on the move they live in the regulation tepees. Their nearest neighbors are the Apaches, with whom, in the old days, they were often engaged in war. The Navajos are polygamists, sometimes having four or five wives. These they buy, or trade, as they would any other piece of property. The squaws do most of the work. They wash, spin and dye the wool, and weave it on primitive looms into quintet and artistic designs. They never use figures of people, animals, or birds, as to the basket weavers, but their designs are largely geometrical. Red, black, orange, white and gray are the predominating colors. "While some squaws may use and repeat some characteristic design, it is a noteworthy fact that no two rugs are ever alike. This is almost incredible, when we consider the hundreds of rugs that have been made by them. "To say nothing of the time it takes to wash, dye and spin their wool, it requires about a month of steady work to weave a rug four by six feet. Those are easily recognized by the smaller patterns and smooth, close weave. While the Navajos have never been Christianized, it is a fact of interest that the design of the cross is seen in much of their work. As types they are fine looking Indians—strong, tall and well featured, largely due to their life in the saddle." MUTUAL SACRIFICE.
