The Appeal

VOL.17. NO.36. PIRAT HOSE exacting souls that sigh for the days of Capt. Kidd and Morgan really should not repine. The Atlantic coast is full of as sweet and pleasant sentimental of the sea as ever William Kidd did in days of the famous buccaneers. All that the romance seers need do is to keep their ears open. They may not see any of the piracy of to-day, but then they must remember that Captains Thomas Tew, William Mason, John Hoar and William Kidd did not give performances in full. The unlicensed capting, of course, the unlucky particular audience that was most vitally concerned. To-day it is necessary for the kulls to tass pass through the Kill von Kull, the deep and narrow waterway that lies practically inside of the city of New York, to go armed. Many of them carry rifles, and they are often against the new brothers of the black flag. Only a few weeks ago a whole fleet of these pirates boarded a town of Central railroad barges and looted them thoroughly. It was a real, old, time-slip, and it was a real, old, time-carrying, and it was accompanied with a quite satisfactory amount of shooting. The oyster pirates of the Chesapeake Bay have not indulged in any wholesale knapping or murdering recently, but they have not experienced a sudden numismum in sight that will justify the disarmament of the government launches that have been put into commission to hold them in subjection. Morgan and Bluebeard have gone to the Spanish Main and better and better the Spanish main has been established for them in the far beyond; but the Spanish Main still is not an entirely delightful place. There are able philanthropists there, and night and day to pay embarrassing attention to that happens to run up on the Florida Keys. A ship that hits the Old Providence island group, near where old Roncador caught and chewed up the brave man who was killed into a hill of white ants. They would not strip the wreck any more quickly. All along the American coast, from Eastport, Me, to Biscayne Bay, Florida, there is hardly a oyster or fishing ground that is not grazed, for most celiant reasons, with shotguns and rifles. The famous thief who stole a redhot stove has a whole fleet of counterparts in the sea. They are the pirates who steal the shore bodily fluids, safe from them. They steer their big biospeeds and schooners in bodily and load up with the white sand, which brings a tempting price from builders. The pleasant records, being on the shore and beaches along the coast, naturally suffer severely. Many are in constant conflict with the men who try actually to take away the ground under their feet. They are daring thieves, too, and will keep loading up while the beach watchmen are foundering through the sand to capture them. Not until the officers get there, the beach watchmen pirates deem it necessary to steer out for the open sea. The famous beaches of Rockaway and Long Beach have suffered so extensively from their depredations that the ocean, breaking in where great areas and acres of land had been destroyed and started away, made alarming inroads. They were cheerful pratical creatures of this school who tried a few years ago, when the sea rose and washed high on Rockaway Beach in a big storm, to help its efforts with shovel and pick. Their efforts were not enough, and they across the land at the lively summer settlement of Seaside. In this case they did not wish to steal sand. What they wanted was 'to cut away enough shore and to sweep it away' and the swelling would sweep across and open a new inlet. That would have given them a direct means of reaching the open sea instead of sailing several miles to the requiem shore. They would not harbor the slightest scruples about the flooding of the village or other possible calamities, and they were grieved and indignant when the baymen appeared in scene and stopped them with clubs. An unknown but certainly able and deserving pirate was the one whose white sleep dropped in with the tie one night, and the one whose white sleep among the big steam yachts. The anchorage was so full of craft that one more was hardly noticed. That night there was a big dinner, followed by a small party. The night the white sleep hauled up anchor unrustlessly and began to drift around amlessly. Finally she rubbed along the side of one steam yacht. There she held up a large piece of wood, a little further until she rubbed against another of the fine craft. This operation was repeated from one steam yacht to another. Several times sharp-eyed deck ropes were used, and the answer came, readily enough, that the craft had lost her anchor cable and had gone adrift, but was just fetching up. This tullied suspicion. But the next morning the captain of almost a dozen steam yachts had been stripped clean, there was a great hunt for the white sleep. There being about one thousand white sleeps, the search did not produce brilliant results. An ingenious pirate was the owner and captain of a blunt-nosed, ugly heavily built New London fishing steamer. He was the captain of the Atlantic Point, Coney Island, near where the Atlantic Yacht club anchorage is now. The perer originally had been connected THE APPEAL. with the land, but the water and eaten the shore away and it stood out at sea in solitary grandeur. The fishing boat captain liked the looks of it, and thereafter, whenever he happened to be near the shore, he would help him and regularly managed to blunder in and ram the pier. After several weeks of faithful ramming the entire pier gave way one day when the sea was unusually heavy, and the captain thankfully steamed around in the wreckage until he reached the large raft, which brought a good price from a New York "Red sea trader." New York, New London, Baltimore, Savannah and many other seaport towns, big and little, occupy much the same commercial position (in a smaller and less popular town) than old New York and jolly ship-Pristol toward Captains Tew, Mason and Hoar and their colleagues. Two hundred years ago the merchants of those two towns were in the business of abetting and even fitting out pirates openly. It was a common thing to see armed ships in the water, and the body knew would fly the Jolly Roger as soon as they got off soundings. sard, found this out when he was sent to New York by the British government to stop the "Red sea trade". The "Red sea trade" was nothing but the fitting out of ships to meet the big pirates off the African coast and receive their spoils, openly. The "Red sea trade" home and seahome openly. The "Red sea trade" in the seaport towns is neither so open nor so extensive, but it has not shrunk to entirely insignificant proportions, as the police of New York discovered a few miles away of the red sea traders bought a ship full of scrappon from one of his friendly pirates. This little act of buccaneering was committed under the statue of liberty, where the barge was lying peacefully at anchor. Her owners thought, with a smile, that the barge was safe as the statue itself; but the next moment there was nothing left to justify the sound. Soundings showed that she had not sunk. For days the search for her was unavailing, but at last the police found her hidden away nicely in a dock on the seaport town of New York and ancient wrecks. The Red sea traders were merrily on her when the police swapped down on them. Most of the coastal pirates of this shore are of the type of the Kill yon Kull plaque, which is a large, polished jected tribute in the narrow channel between Staten Island and New Jersey for many years, are veritable sea gypsies. Generally they play a lone hand. Only the most experienced long and weakly manned freight trow offers they combine. But they have Defective Page enough organization always to warn each other and to help each other cut in case of injury. Most of them are owners of small vessels ranging from twenty to thirty-five water line. Usually they are provided with big holds like oyster boats and can be handled easily by two men, which is the extent of the crew in most cases. Generally they are battered and worn and dirty, with gretlesque tied sails and frayed and ragged rigging. They have no fixed haunts. The Atlantic coast, with its thousands of miles of salt bays that are protected from the sea, splits, amuses a cruising and stealing crew, and passes nowhere in the world. The coves of Maine, protected by the rocky islands, in the inlets and bays around Cape Cod, throughout the network of channels on the coast, are the most picturesque sound and familico sound and clear away down to Key West they are equally at home. Lying in the sedges or creeks during the day, in picturesque surroundings they night to harbor and pillage. Everything, from a wrecked steamship to an anchored rowboat, pleases them. They live in the creeks for which they cannot find use and that are guarded with a loaded gun. As all the robberies and thefts of the modern pirates are committed where legal authority is hard to reach and where every man looks out for himself, the pirates have thieves and the public rarely hears of their deeds until one of them becomes as daring as was the famous "black sloop" that robbed the coast from Point Isabel. The pirates of the "black sloop" pirates had swift boats and nerve. They tackled everything from a cottage to a steamship, and hardly a night passed without a rich haul being made by them. Unlike most of their class who make it their practice to sail in the open sea, the pirates haul the pirates of the black sloop remained along that particular part of the coast despite the fact that hundreds of sailing vessels and steam and nautika were not to mention police boats, were on their hunt for them steadily for months. After two months this pirate was as much of a terror to the coast shore as any old time pirate ever was. It was a harbor black, for whenever one appeared in any of the harbors she was kept under surveillance until she sailed again. During this time it became plain what an enormous amount of piracy there is on the Atlantic coast, for in the genesis of the attacks, predations hundreds of robberies were reported from places so far apart that it was evident that the black sloo could KEY WEST "WRECKERS" not be responsible for one-tenth of them. Uncaught, often fired at with aim good contempt to riddle the sails, the sleep contempt to snatch the sails, and the nearly given up hope of getting her. Then, made over-confident, the pirated entered one of the little harbors along the shore in broad daylight and were caught. But only a small percentage of their plunder was recovered. The vast bulk of it had gone to enrich the Red Sea itself. As a matter of fact these sea gypsies have little to fear. So long as they refrain from murder they are comparatively safe from organized pursuit. Their operations, although they are really dangerous, give a field that no one locality is sufficiently except, in cases like the one cited, to do more than pursue the thieves to the limit of their local jurisdiction on the move. The federal government is the only one that could follow and hunt them down everywhere, and none of them, taken singly, has become danger-ful to call for action by the navy department. Hundreds of them regulate their lives by the seasons, as do the birds, following the summer up and down the coast. They are good hunters and naturally excel in work readily when circumstances make it profitable. They have no food problem. The farms along 3,000 miles of coast offer them the pick of the crops, and the land is abundant. They live a glorious careless, idle life. The late spring and summer finds them scattered from Cape May northward. When the warm day vanishes they cruise lastly southward and the cooler day finds them on the way, for every place is good for their business. They are as daring as they are lazy and think nothing of "cutting out" a house, and immediately in front of a crowded cut house. They pick out a time in the night when the flood tide has stopped running. Then, when the pleasure boats are riding on the train on their anchorage, the ropes are tied with the wind and steers in uncoily through the fleet. As the pirate drifts close by the tenantless yachts which he has singled out he gives each anchor line a rope. When doing no tide the ropes do not pose. By the time the ebb tide runs THE FISHING BOAT surgery the pirate is miles away, waiting well out of sight for his prey. As the tide begins to speed toward the sea the vessel secured anchor ropes part, and the yachter drifts to where he is waiting. Then it is an easy matter to strip them. The stripping is done thoroughly. *The pirate has a ready market for every item of a boat's fitting. His first care is to mount the rigging. His second rigging is cut. The standing rigging is cut and the sails is cut and they are rolled up and bundled into the sloop. Then the pirate has the most valuable part of the srois, and it doesn't matter so much to it. He has to run for it. But if there still is room, the brass fittings are his next care. He takes no chances when he is dismantling a yacht. If a vessel comes within sight, he sails away without waiting for it. He sails away with distance till the coast is clear again. Another branch of plracy that is a favorite around the pleasure islands is to sail on dark nights and hook on to an tow. The pleasure boat is it possible to tow. An agile tiller and the other to cut the painters of the rowboats and hitch them to the sloop—can steal from a half dozen to a dozen boats within a few hundred yards on the shore. One on one on shore will be the wiser for it, many daylight closes a booted anchorage. Pursuit of these thieves is so difficult and so very likely to be entirely fruitless that the victims usually pocket the thieves, not the no official complaint. About the most they can do is to keep a sharp lookout for their boats wherever they go. A few years ago Jamaica Bay, the great salt-water fishing resort of New York state, was visited by pirates, and they were discovered several hundred rooftops, a keeper, who lost half a dozen boats, hunted in vain, and after two years made up his mind that he never would see them again. Then he sent one of his pirates, "Tamillo sound," and the first thing that they found there were two of the stolen rooftops. The pirates had not even bothered to change their color or their fittings and identification was easy. The owners showed that they had purchased them from a stranger. When stolen rooftops were to be sold near the place where they were inken, the thieves usually have clever dodges for changing them so that their former $2.40 PER YEAR. CRAFT LER PIRATES IN A RUNNING FIGHT owners find it hard even to be sure that they are the stolen property and still harder to prove it. The first thing that they are to scrape and burn all the palm of their hand is to coat the boating of entirely different color. Then the marks are cut out and the wood around them scrap down to hide the marks of the operation. Often the thwarts are changed. That makes an immense difference in the rowboat. There is nothing timorous about the modern Capt. Kidds. They know that they may expect short shrift if they are caught. Over and over again the bay-steers overpowered a crew of the thwarts. When they take their boats and gear out to be punished and throw their overboard to sink or swim as may be. Having acquired a good vessel and obtained relevant knowledge naturally do not feel advisable to talk about the little affair. And the pirates as naturally, if they happen to survive, to not unboss themselves to the world, what takes as much as part of their professors as life predecessors of the Spanish Main did. If any one doubts the prevalence of that piracy - long shore piracy - let him make a little water voyage among the on the Atlantic shore coast. He will sail to the oyster coast is a single hut that is not provided with one shotgun at least. Many of the oyster houses boast an arsenal. Generally there are two or three heavy shotstuns and at least a pair of revolvers, and at least a pair of rifles, are loaded, and the baymen are economical souls, who hate to waste powder and shot. So they shoot to hit. Once a year, in the season when it becomes necessary to plant new oysters to the shore, there is an outbreak of unique piracy on the American coast, replenish work outed beds young oysters, known as seed oysters, are used. Oyster planters everywhere have a superstition that the grounds where seed oysters are planted are not shared by the oyster beds, whose own superstition is that they must have good money for them. Therefore, each season there is a little American holy war, each side fighting for its articles of faith, and good, honest oysters become pirates for the time being. They know that there will be shooting, and they must have the sockable habit of bringing guns of their own. Shotguns at long range are not particularly deadly, but enough head finds its fill every season to make a respectable casuity list. Neither the shooters nor the shot burn HAVE YOU READ THE ARPEAL THE APPEAL, A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS. EDITORS AND PUBLISHERS 49 E. 4th St. St. Paul, Minn.

The Afro-American voters of Virginia are between the devil and the deep sea. The Democrats are assembled in convention preparing to practically disfranchise the whole race, while J. Hampton Hoge, the Republican candidate for governor, is blurting out such stuff as this to the newspapers: "The Negro is today more immoral, and is more nearly a barbarian, than he was when he was first brought into America. In the South the institution of marriage among the Negroes is dying out. He is approaching the status of the brute more and more each car." To intelligent people who have watched the progress of events in this country such wild statements will appear ludicrous. Possibly Hoge is a kind of modern Rip Van Winkle, who has been asleep forty years and who doesn't know what has taken place since 1865. The progress of the Afro-American in the thirty-six years of freedom is the most marvellous the world has ever known. The Negro in Africa had a code of pure morals not materially different from that of any civilized coun- Cats Cats iz funny things cats ketches mise an rats an birds an littel bunnie s wich iz a verry bad shame but if i ketch them i woo d beet her good cats sets on fenses an wood piles an makes googoo eyes in the dark an they kin holler ekul tu a saw mill cats fites an cusses like blazers an then par cusses cats has wiskers an claus sted uv tomales an they spit on each other wen they fite kittens makes cats.

The black man received his first lessons in immorality from the white man. In slavery days no family ties of the black man were respected—husbands and wives were separated—children were taken from their mothers and sold to slave traders. The black woman—the mulatto woman—the quadroon woman were compelled to submit to the brutal lust of the white man. And now comes Hoge, who says the Negro is immoral. If he is immoral it is the fault of Hoge's ancestors. One of the greatest stumbling blocks today in the path of the Afro-Americans in the South is the fact that the women of the race are considered legitimate prey by every white scoundrel. More Afro-American women are enticed from virtue by white men than by black men. If the Caucasians of the South would let our women alone they would help the moral progress of the race to a great extent. Afro-Americans are being burned at the stake nearly every day for crimes against womanhood which are charged but not proved. The guilty white scoundrel who uses his position, his power, his wealth to steal the virtue of Afro-American women goes free. The day of reckoning will come. The Caucasian-American snobs who recently endeavored to introduce the damnable American color-line into England met their Waterloo when they protested to Manager Richardson, of St. Ermin's hotel, against the entertainment of Afro-Americans. Mr. Richardson, who refused to accede to their demands, deserves a token of our appreciation of his services in the great battle for equal rights now being waged by the dark races. An effort is being made to procure a proper testimonial. The following letter is self-explanatory: Washington, D. C., Aug. 26, 1901. Bishop B. W. Arnett. In the last issue of my paper, THE APPEAL, it was suggested that the demands of the American hotel of St. Ermin's Hotel, in refusing to accede to the demands of certain American snobs, who protested against the hotel, is worthy of the greatest his hotel, is worthy of the greatest THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER SYLPHS OF SOCIETY SWIM IN SUMMER SEAS. consideration by the Afro-American people. I think that the Afro-Americans should show their appreciation, some tangible form, and I suggest that the delegates belonging to the colored races present to Manager Richardson a token of some kind to show gratification at his arrival. Feeling that you will take up this matter and carry it to a successful issue, I send herewith money order for Ten Dollars as my contribution. Wishing you success, am your friend. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS.

SYLPHS Col. J. C. Summers is entitled to the thanks of the Afro-Americans all over this country for the great speech he made before the constitutional convention in Richmond, Va., last week. He scored them roundly for the unjust suffrage resolutions which had been introduced in the convention and said: "If Christ were here today He would not be able to vote under them." He told them that Grover Cleveland was the only Democrat who ever kept his promises, and he committed political suicide by so doing. Half the members in the hall left because they did not wish to hear the truth. His address occasioned the greatest indignation among the Democrats, and a North Carolinian who heard it declared that similar utterances in his state would have cost the speaker his life. James R. Caton, who is a candidate APPENED. TOWN A HOME IN LOVELY LOOKING STREET for the city council in Alexandria, Va., has issued a letter to voters in which he says: "It is my purpose if elected to represent the whole people and not any particular class or faction." That Caton is insincere is shown by the fact that at the end of his letter he states that it is his "intention to bring about legislation that will place the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon electric railway within the provisions of the Jim Crow car law, which now applies only to steam railways." If this isn't class legislation, what is? Mr. Caton seems to forget that in seeking to secure "Jim Crow" legislation he is making an effort to degrade a particular class of his constituents. Glen Echo, a pleasure resort near Washington, D. C., has closed for want of patronage. The proprietor denied admission to Afro-Americans and the Caucasians did not seem to be attracted to the place. Just because of prejudice an immense sum of money has been lost. Let all who come enter without regard to color and you'll make money, Manager Thomas. King Cotton has made his best record during the past year. The total value of raw cotton exported was $313,673,443 for the year, or an average of $1,000,000 per working day. More than 80 per cent of the cotton was raised by black men in the South. That shows the economic value of the Afro-American. The Y. M. C. A. of Dubuque, Ia. had old ben tillman booked for a lecture, but owing to the reprobate's sentiments in reference to the Afro-American have cancelled the engagement. We can very readily believe that is a Christian association. Prominent Alabama Afro-Americans are preparing to fight the new constitution. Speakers will be sent throughout the state to organize the OF SOCIETY SWIM IN SUMM race in opposition to the new law, by which they are practically disfranchised. Governor Longino, of Mississippi, seems to mean business in his dealings with the cowardly lynchers $\omega$ that state. Backbone upon the part of state and county officers is all that is needed to break up the practice. The strangest thing we have heard of in connection with Labor Day was the fact that the parade of organized labor in Savannah, Ga., was led by the bricklayers' union, composed of Afro-Americans. Judge M. W. Gibbs, U. S. Consul at Tamatave, Madagascar, has been succeeded by William L. Hunt, of New York. Harvard Profits by Sale's Opposition to Afro-Americans A recent special to the Chicago Troupe from Boston, Mass., gives the follow- ing: 1. Tribune from Boston, Mass., gives the following interesting athletic news: Harvard's partiality to Afro-American students and Yale's hostility will bring another noted Afro-American student to September. He is William C. Matthews, captain and catcher of the Andover Academy nine, and a football player, top. Matthews wanted to go to Yale, but heard of the adverse sentiment there, and has decided to go to Harvard, and has decided to go to Harvard, and has decided to go to Harvard, a member of the hase ball nine, filling ex-Captain Reid's place behind the bat. In an Afro-American has never, it is said, been a major league team at Yale, and the fact that there has always been a large Southern representation in the university is considered to be responsible for a strong Afro-American athletics on the team. Gregory, an Afro-American captain and center fielder of the Amherst nine three years ago, has been a student in the Yale divinity school for three years, since he received his Amherst diploma. He has annually landed in his name as a candidate for the Yale base team, but has never played even a practice game. Yet Gregory left an excellent record at Amherst, A BRIGHT BOY.

There were two Southerners, Catcher Hirsch and Center Fielder Barnwell, and the second year, and the crippling of Barnwell year, and the championship game proved Yale's undoing. Gregory could well have filled the gap. Barnwell was at Andover two years ago when Matthews was a member of the team, and notified the coach that he would not play in case Matthews was kept on the team. Barnwell was promptly notified that if Matthews proved good enough to play on the nine he would have a place. Barnwell remained on the Andover team, but never ate at the training table with Matthews. The loss of Matthews is not regarded with complacency by Yale men, who hope that Matthews will come to the university from parental schools. Lewis, the Harvard center rush of '93 and '94, wished ER SEAS. when at Amherst to go to Yale for his law course, but learned of the Southern feeling, and went to Harvard instead. LITERARY TWO PIRATES OF TODAY (Continued From First Par*) with anxiety to tell of their little affair, the wounded, being in their own craft, to visit the villages, where it is well understood that no details are to be demanded from a person who returns home in the seed oyster season suffering from the results of an accidental discharge of a shotgun, in piracy, in piracy, who is known as a specialist in muthion theft. He steals only jib sails. These are of just the right shape and size for leg-of-muthion sails, and the wounded who use that form of canvas for their nets, are able to find a leg-of-muthion thief. He is deprised by the more ambitious buccaneers, but in his own way he is as daring. He does business in long, light clinker-built, at night he will sail or row quietly to the sea, to hide himself and his craft under the bows. Then, as opportunity offers, he cuts away the stays and lashings from the jibs, and when the deck watch is at sails, the vessel he pulls the sails overboard of the vessel he trailing the stolen canvas behind him. Another pirate in a small line of business is one who sails slowly past bigger vessels, and with a long boatbook or bessel, and with a long something that temps him overboard. When the vessel has sailed away he returns and flashes the articles up from the bottom. Nothing Way Great.

According to a Calro correspondent the directors of the great French com- munity have practiced the practical monopoly of the Egyptian sugar industry have just completed arrangements by which they become concessionaires for a number of years of some 40,000 acres of land in the vicinity of their great works at Nag-Hamad, in upper Egypt. These lands will be devoted principally to the culture of beetroot. The company already possesses extensive fields of canes. Egypt is now not only able to cater for herself as far as sugar is concerned, but has begun to successfully compete with French and Austrian sugar in the Levant markets.

BATTLED WITH A RATTLER. Government Official Finally Escaped from the Reptile's Fence Among the curious souvenirs and relies from the plain and forest, mountain top and canyon, which lend themselves to the decoration of the room occupied by Henry C. Rizer, chief clerk of the geological survey, is the dressed skim of a ratlainskan. This ratlatter's claim to fame is that he sought to cover the skim of the canyon, failed to do this, but he did what he could. He died in the attempt. The incident in which this particular snake figured occurred when a force from the geological survey was engaged in making a survey of Indian territory at the instance of the general land office. That was several years ago. One of the surveying parties was at work in a field where the snake were numerous. Calculation was made by a member of the party that if the ratio of rattlers to the area assigned to him were applied to the area of the whole territory the rattler population of the Indian territory was 3,000 man to the square mile. This man, in the course of his work, sprang up and struck the other side of it planted one foot directly upon the neck of a six-foot rattler. It was, an accident, the man not having seen the snake, and not having designed to disturb it. It was also a fortunate accident so far as the man was concerned, that he landed on the neck of the snake. It is said that the rattler was visibly alarmed that his感情 took on an angry mood and strained in his efforts to coil into an attitude in which he might strike. He made, it is said, heroic efforts anyway to bite his oppressor. The trespasser dared not move, but called for help. A co-worker came to his aid bringing an ax and with this weapon the snake's head was severed. The skimming rattler. It is now stretched on the mantel of the office of the chief clerk. —Washington Star. GAY AND LOUD WEDDING Bar-Splitting Music Accompanies the Wedding Marches in Mycorrhiza singing maracas in Morocco. Wedding are, are playing functions, never take place in the blaze of noon. A procession, the longer the better, is a sine qua non. The lady is nearly enveloped in gauze and muslin, and packed into a trim, little red box, just as if she were an automatic or the newest, thing in hats, so that she can no more be seen and shit in a casket. The box is fastened on the back of a mule or a horse, and when these details are satisfactorily settled the procession stuns. All her kith and kith, as well as the relatives and; friends of her future lord, ride in state or solemnly march on foot to the sounds of weird music and shit in instruments are ear-splitting. But the vocal sounds uttered by the women folk, by way of wishing the couple good luck, are simply soul-scathing. The loo-loo-lon, lee-lee-lee shrieked out with shrill voices are as turble as Kaffir women for the dead. And if the family have a proper sense of music, they are not satisfied with even this; but invest in gunpowder, and keep firing all the way to the bridegroom's house. Quality Folks. Since bacteriologists have attributed the dissemination of yellow fever in Cuba, and of the deadly malaria in Italy, to the mosquito, that creature has emerged from the general host of insects into a place of individual importance. For other reasons than these, however, an old Cornish woman anately pronounced upon the mosquito's artistry. She had asked her parish priest to read to her a letter from her son in Brazil. The writer's orography was doubtful but the carol did his best to read phonetically, "I cannot tell you how the muskitties torment me. They pursue me everywhere down the othmity!" The more modest woman, a lawyer, mingled pride and amazement. "Ezekiel must be rare, handsome" she said; "for the mediasts to be so after him. And I reckon the Miss Kitties is quality folks, toot!" $13.90 to Buffalo Pan American and Retu ra $13.00 Tickets on sale daily via the Nickel Plate Road, good returning ten days from date of sale. especially low rates for 15 and 30 day limit Chicago to Buffalo and return.

People never get rich nor seldom ever secure a comfortable competence from wages or salary unless they save a portion of their monthly earnings, and invest in some form of property that will increase in value. Mining is one of the most legitimate investments. Rich metallic discoveries are made profitable only by mining skill, proper management, and the judicious expenditure of capital. The skills and management are then made possible. Hence proper organization and capitalization with the dividends of the investment through shares legally issued, partici- pate in the profits are the most desirable.
