SO COLLEGE MAN WRITES FROM KANSAS TO HIS CHUM. Amaturte Farm Hand Satisfied That There Is Nothing Wrong With the Sunflower State—His Lot Fallen in Pleasant Places. "A arrived in Kansas with the other boys safe and sound after our long ride. Surrounded by a mob of farmers as soon as we landed. I engaged with a husky individual named Sugden. He has a beard like Esmeralda's goat. It was the beard that caught me. The farms here are immense, but the scenery is disinterested monotonous. N. E.—There is no scenery. Sugden lives in a roomy farmhouse, with most of the fittings of civilization—including a very pretty daughter. "I have found out that the old man is rich. I can't just remember how many bushels of corn and wheat and tons of hay he totals up, but it's enough to make your eyes bulge. "I took my first lesson in Kansas field sports. Pitching hay is a little different from pitching baseball, and I don't find that throwing the hammer or tossing the shoe helps me here to any marked extent. But Papa Sugden like the looks of my muscles, and glad I've kept myself in condition." "To-day the old man wanted to send a message to the house—we were a full mile away on what he calls his south section—and I said I'd go. 'Back to-day?' laughs the foreman. I don't like the foreman—he has an exaggerated idea of his ability as a humorist. 'Back in eleven minutes,' I said. 'Honest?' cried the old man, and he pulled out his big silver watch. I nodded and was off on a steady lope. Luckily the shoes I had on were moderately light and the road was new and spring. When I reached the house there sat the pretty girl on the porch in a big easy chair, with another easy chair beside her. And there was a little table with a pitcher and glasses—lemonade, I guess. I called out my message as I whirled about and started back. But she? she cried in such a pretty voice; she? she cried in such a pretty voice. But I plugged ahead at my old racing gait, and there was the farmer and the foreman and all the hands standing at the roadside waiting for me. 'Ten seconds to spare.' called the old man as he snapped his big watch. "I'm beginning to like the work and I'm sure the old man favors me. The daughter is remarkably pretty. I'll but she bright, too. "We're getting acquainted. I met her this morning. 'Wellesley!' she said, 'Harvard,' said I. 'Sing?' she said. Yes, said I. Porch, said she 'Sure,' said I. We had a charming time on the piano—and it's a very good piano—up to one of the long winds and sat outside and played. I sang all the college songs I knew—and soze I scarcely knew—and the old man himself came out and applauded. 'Tomorrow night again?' I whispered. If you like, she answered. 'But aren't you very tired after the hagging?' I laughed. 'This rests me.' I answered. Besides, I believe in making hay while the sun shines.' I guess she knew what I meant—although it was not. 'I know I'm going to like Kansas. Her name is Saddle—and she lets me call her by it. "Sadie has said that I could ask her father—and she didn't seem the least bit worried when she said it. "I have asked him. He stroked his beard and said, 'But we don't know anything about you.' I told him I would write at once for a recommendation. He said he noticed that when I said I'd run the two miles in minutes, I did it. I could press it I said I was all right I could prove it—and, anyhow, Sadie always had her own way. She shook hands. He's a good man. "There's nothing the matter with Kansas. I'm here to stay."-Cleveland Plain Dealer. AS TO THE GRAND MARSHAL. What Will Become of This Figure in the Coming Horseless Age? "When power-driven vehicles shall have superseded horse-drawn vehicles entirely, as no doubt, in the not far distant future they will have done," said Mr. Gozleton, "what will become of the grand marshal? Will anything be devised that will enable him to shine with anything like his present glory? "Now, with a broad, bright-colored sash worn diagonally across his many bosom, and with a dahlia-like rosette pinned upon his breast, he rides grandly at the head of the procession mounted on a horse. What would a procession be without a grand marshal, and what would a grand marshal be without a horse? And what will he do when there are no horses? And what will he impede now? Indeed, but let us hope that when the horeless age shall actually have come, some means will be found to preserve the glamour and the glory of the grand marshal." We haven't seen any sea serpants off the southern coast this summer, but some few things are doing. For instance, a fisherman cut off the tail of a shark at Terminal last Saturday to such an extent that the critter bled to death. Even the most carping critic must agree that this isn't so bad for us, even if it was discouraging for the shark—Los Angeles WISDOM OF THE BEE. Legent of the Visit of the Queen of Sheba to King Solomon. "Here is the legend of the visit of the Queen of Sheba a king King Solomon," said the Pascagoula Diogenes in the Rotunda of the Great Southern hotel, Gulport, Sunday. "The queen reigned over a people that lived on the border of the Red Sea, who were the richest in Arabia. They were represented leading an idle life, owing to the abundance of natural produce of their country, and who valued their tenure and also frankinense cinnamon and balsam that gave them an extensive commerce with other nations. "The queen, owing to the splendid reputation of King Solomon, whose power and wisdom had spread to the remotest parts of the world, visited him at his own court. Presenting herself at the foot of his throne, in each of her hands she held a wreath of flowers—one composed of natural, the other of artificial. Art, in the labor of the mimic wreath, had exquisitely emulated the lively wives of nature; so that at the distance it was held by the queen to exercise the sagacity of the monarch for his judgment, it was deemed impossible for him to decide which wreath was the production of nature, and which the work of art. Solomon was, for a moment, perplexed; yet, to be vanquished by a woman irritated his pride. "An expedient presented itself to the king by a swarm of bees on the outside of a window, which he ordered opened; the bees rushed in the court and alighted on one of the wreaths, while not a single one fixed on the other. Sheba was baffled and was convinced of the wisdom of Solomon. Such is the story handed down that the bee only rests on the natural beauties, and never fixes on the painted flowers, however inimitable the color may be laid on."—New Orleans Times-Democrat. THE DEPTH OF DEPRAVITY. Innocent Maid the Victim of Perifidious Society Man. 'My dear Julia, I'm so glad to see you, for I've, just had. such a shock. I want to tell you about it. You know George Billings—such a nice fellow, apparently. Well, my dear, would you believe it, he's the most underhanded, the most stupid, the most wonderful. You know I've been having quite a desperate flirtation with him for some time—dances, tetea, gatets, hand squeezing, and all that sort of thing. Of course, I'm engaged to Tom, and I wouldn't be false to him for the world, but then there no harm in a little flirtation now and then. Well, this affair with George got to be very desperate and I was afraid Tom might hear of it, so I thought I'd give George a little warm welcome. Tom邯pyknys, and managed to hint something about my engagement. He just laughed and said: "Oh, yes; I know all about it." "What do you think of that, my dear? Isn't that deceitful and underhanded to flirt with a girl whom he knows is engaged? But that isn't the worst. He told me that he was going to be married next month. Wasn't that perfectly scandalous? Why, it was perfectly outrageous. Just think of his acting in that way when he was engaged. His deprivacy is really shocking."—Brooklyn Eagle. Angel Causes Dumb to Speak. Crowds of pilgrims are flocking to Kerhous, a village near Brest, France, to see Marie Raguenes, a woman who was a victim of dumbness in a miraculous manner. The woman is forty years-old. When she was twelve she lost the power of speech as the result of fright, and none of the specialists who attended her was able to relieve her affliction. Recently while eating her dinner she astonished her fellow servants by saying clearly and distinctly: "I can speak. Give me some bread." Marie then explained that a few days beore an angel appeared to her and said: "In the name of God I announce to you that at 12 o'clock next Wednesday you will recover your speech." At the appointed time the woman spoke after a silence of nearly thirty years.

President Mellen of Northern Pacific was telling one of his Wall Street friends about the prospects in the Far Northwest. "I never saw so many lambs and sheep on the farms as there are this year," he concluded. "We have more than the avrage ourselves," said the broker with a sigh, "but we are not boasting about it." "The breed I mean are worth $6 apiece," replied the railroad man; laughing. "And there's where you have us beaten," sadly admitted the Wall Street man—New York Times. Tan Leather by X-Rays.

Vanderli, now one of the vice presidents of the National City bank of New York, the great Rockefeller stronghold, was financial editor of the Chicago Tribune in 1892 and 1893—a hard working newspaper man, dependent on his salary. Those were panic times. Banks were falling every day. Joseph Medill, the editor of the Tribune, was in southern California. He was much exercised over the situation and was in close touch with the office, constantly advising conservatism and optimism in the newspaper reports. Vanderli, by close economy and his investment investments, had saved $800. It was all he had. One day the bank failed in which he had deposited his little nest egg. He went dependently to his desk. The world looked black to him. It was a hard blow A messenger boy came in with a telegram. Vanderlip signed for it mechanically—his thoughts were on his lost $500. He tore open the envelope. The telegram was from Mr. Medill. It read: "Take a cheerful view of the situation."—Saturday Evening Post. He Told the Truth. A New England farmer sold a pair of oxen to a brother farmer, who inquired before purchasing if they were "breachy." "They've never bothered me," answered the farmer. The purchase was concluded, but in a few days the purchaser had suffered considerable damage to his fences from these oxen. Indignant, he confronted the farmer, and if they were "breachy," he exclaimed, "and you said they'd never bothered you." "Well," answered the other man, "I never allow that kind of thing to bother me." South Sea Icelander's Praver. A South Sea islander, at the close of a religious meeting, offered the following prayer: "O God, we are about to go to our respective homes.

ROUTE OF Propane of Gatwick New Haven London London Railways op pro This map illustrates the route of the new railroad proposed by the Dominion government, from Moncton to Winnipeg. The route from Winnipeg to the Pacific coast is not yet determined. The sketch shows the alternative proposals via Edmonton to Port Simpson and via Edmonton to Butein lake. The contract provides that the government shall construct the line from Cowboy's Pretty Speech to Young Lady He Admired. At a party given last winter out West, says an exchange, was a bashful cowboy who had not been in civilized society for several years. He was a good-looking fellow, and one of the young ladies present kindly took an interest in him and tried to make him feel at ease. He fell desperately in love at once, and the hostess, noticing this, encouraged him all she could. On leaving the house the young lady who had taken a friendly interest in the cowboy forged her overshoes, and the hostess told the young Lochinvar from the plains that he might return them to the girl if he wished. The herder leaped at the chance, and presented himself in due time at the young lady's house. She was surprised to see him, but greeted him kindly. You forgot your overshes last night, awkwardly handing her the package. She thanked him and opened it. "Why, there's only one overshoe here!" she explained.

American Securities And Two Reverend Gentlemen Near Lily Come to Blows The Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., who has dropped his ecclesiastical title and ways for the path of literature, is as handy with his fists when an emergency call arrives as many men who talk more about their prowess. He was crossing a high road in South Carolina not long ago near his old home and stopped at a negro cab in at night for a drink of milk. As he was about to continue his walk—the days were hot and he did his trumpeting by moonlight—he suddenly came upon a tall bearded man with a staff in his hand. The encounter was so sudden that both men backed away from each other. The Rev. Mr. Dixon instinctively put up his fists as the other raised his fist. The man looked officious for a moment but as the moon came out from beyond a bank of clouds, both men recognized each other. The bearded one was Elish Coleman of North Carolina, who is over seventy, and whose long walks sometimes last for weeks. A pretty tableau. It was a long time between drinks— of milk—in this case.—New York Times Had Experience. Law seems to make its votaries suspicious beyond average men. An instance of this was noted at the Democratic club the other night. A group of men who were dining there fell to discussing the advisability of husbands having no secrets from their wives. "What do you think?" asked Michael Harris, turning to "Abe" Levy. "Should a husband tell his wife everything?" "Why should be?" responded the little lawyer, the average wife probably wouldn't believe it."—New York Evening World. How He Explained It. He was deferential, but he was a deacon in the church, and he felt that he had a right to criticise. "I hope you'll pardon me," he said, "I suggest that your sermons are—all—" "Too proxy, I suppose," suggested the minister. "Oh, no; not that, but too long." "But you mustn't blame 'me for that," returned the minister pleasantly. "If you knew a little more I wouldn't have to tell you so much." or to Bute Inlet, which will be built by the company.

SHE WAS NOT SENSITIVE. Willing to Be Taken for a Servant for a Consideration Employers in various lines of business who are out for tips are not easily insulted by chance or premeditated remarks of the people from whom the tips necessarily come. One woman who has had her pocketbook drained and her soul tortured by the insidious but persistent demands of such attendants had that fact impressed upon her early in the week. She was a visitor in an up-town manure parlor. She had been there several times before, and each time had courageously gone away without paying anything in excess of the regular taxation. On the occasion of her latest visit the girl who took charge of her hands adroitly introduced tipping as an appropriate subject for conversation. The woman availed herself of the opportunity to express her sentiments forcibly. "I think it strange," she said, "that selfrespecting people who have a good position should so demean themselves as to accept contributions from strangers in that way. If the people for whom I work should offer to tip me every time I drew an extra breath I should feel insulted. I should imagine that they considered me a mere servant." When the work was at last finished, the girl gave braced back and looked at the woman steadily. "I'm not so sensitive as some folks," she said. "I don't mind if people do consider me a servant." And the woman, carried away by sheer admiration for her audacity, gave her a quarter—New York Times. THE BEGGAR'S FINAL APPEAL. Hardly of a Character to Bring Forth Charity. Archdeacon Sinclair of London is considerably over six feet in height and broad in proportion. His inches, like his leaning toward the church, may be said to have come to him through heredity, for his father, William Sinclair, was the fifth son of Sir John Sinclair, author of the "Statistical Account of Scotland," and was one of fifteen children, the shortest of whom was six feet in height, while the tallest reached six feet seven inches. When King George III on one occasion was at Helycrood Sir John presented his six girls to the king as "tairty-six feet of daughters." The pavement outside his house in burgh was made of very fluffy flagstones and property in the streets and was, as Mr. Gladstone told the archdeacon, always spoken of as "the Giant's Causeway." One day the tallest of the archdeacon's aunts was going along the street when she was pursued by an Irish beggar woman, who invoked blessings on her head in the hope of alms. Finding her blanchishments in vain, the woman charged her tone and exclaimed: "At least we might give me your shoe to make a cradle for my baby." A Winter's Night And how do dead men sleep? They shiver not when the knel frosts bit- No winters make them weep. They hear no moan of the weary earth There on a dreamless bed. The while I bend o'er a flameless hearth And munch at a crust of bread. Far from the wrath and wrongs of Life, 'Neath the wings o' the dark they rest, While I am lost in the raging strife, With the red wounds on my breast. For a dead man's neither rich nor poor, Under the light and rain: For the door his door Knock and knock in vain. And the gods may grant, or the gods deny Gifts where the homeless roam; But he reckns not there if the dalesie-die, or flock his grave like foam. But--better a crust this winter night From the wealth o' the world apart. With the memory bright of your eyes of light And the life of your lips, sweetheart! -Atlanta Constitution. It Didn't Matter A little lad had climbed a very high spout attached to his parents' house to get a nest which had been built by some birds. He was successful, and was walking away with his companions when a gentleman who had watched his dangerous feat stopped him and said: 'My little fellow, I am sorry to see you in your life for such a paltry thing. What would have happened if the spout had given way?' "Oh," said the lad, "it wouldn't have mattered much. We're going to leave the house tomorrow." Moving a Paris Bridge. A clever engineering feat was accomplished in connection with the extension of the Paris "Tube." Between 6 o'clock in the morning and 8 o'clock in the afternoon a bridge 130 feet long, which spans the Seine at Passy, was moved a distance of nearly eighty feet. The preparatory work for this difficult operation took about ten weeks, and when everything was ready the huge mass was moved over wooden rollers by a windlass, worked by hand for safety. The operation was completely successful. The Taste of Bobbins. A pompous individual, going up the staircase of a large Boston hotel, was voleped in the back with an umbrella by a man who ran after him. When he turned to ascertain the cause of the assault the other saw his mistake and apologized, saying: "Excuse me, sir; I thought you were my old friend Bobbins." "indeed!" said the old gentleman, in measured tones, "and does your old friend Bobbins enjoy this sort of SEA ISLAND QUEEN CLEVER WOMAN HAS ONE HUN- DRED THOUSAND SUBJECTS. Through Her Own Efforts Mrs. Paul Kolbe Has Acquired an Immense Fortune and Civilized Flerce Tribes of Cannibals. One of the richest women in the world is Mrs. Paul Kolbe, who is a virtual queen over 100,000 South Sea islanders, who only a score of years ago were among the fiercest cannibals on earth. She is known as Queen Emma, and by her own intelligent efforts she has accumulated within twenty years the vast sum of $200,000,000. Twenty years ago Queen Emma, upon the death of her first husband, Edward E. Forsyth, an Englishman, found herself not only poor but heavily in debt, but even then her knowledge of trade conditions in the western Pacific was quoted as authoritative and by making use of this knowledge and taking advantage of her opportunities indebtedness and laid the foundations of her present large fortune. At that time what have been known since they became a dependency of Germany, in 1884, as the Bismarck archipelago, a group of islands lying northwest of New Guinea, were almost unknown. The largest of these islands were formerly known as New Britain, New Ireland and the Duke of York group, but now appear on the map as New Guinea, the Mechienberg, the Mechienberg and the New Ireland. Their area is about 18,200 square miles and the population is estimated at 188,000. Queen Emma was the first person to recognize the fertility of the group, and for comparatively small sums acquire title to many thousands of acres. She established plantations and as her business increased put on a line of vessels of her own that now plunge between the islands and Australia. At first her position on the islands was not only uncomfortable, but extremely dangerous. The cannibalistic natives were hostile and suspicious, but she gradually acquired such influence over them that of nearly the entire population she is now the director of the marries and divorces them, and is looked upon as the final arbiter in all matters of dispute. She has gradually civilized many of her dependents, during the years of her supremacy over them and it is now seldom that they appear in public without at least a girdle around their loins. On one plantation alone of 120,000 acres in New Pomerania she employs 1,500 natives and fifty Englishmen and Germans as overseers. One of the smaller plantations is devoted to the South Sea island cotton and comprises 15,000 acres. Other products of her plantation are rice, coffee, tea, bananas, copa, bread fruit and betel nuts. Although a Sasanqua princess the Queen has almost as much claim to Queen Emma as the South seas. Her father was Jonas M. Coe, for twenty-five years American consul at Samoa, who married there a princess of the reigning daughter. She was his oldest daughter and was educated in Australia and San Francisco. At the time of her marriage to Mr. Forsay she was considered the most beautiful woman in Samoa. Her present husband is Lleut. Paul Kolbe, formerly of the German army. THE CHANGES OF HISTORY. Napoleon's Coup d'Etat Compared With That in Servia. An English writer says: 'It is now stated that the number of those who have fallen victims to the coup d'at Belgrade is fifty-four. The massacre has aroused the disgust and indignation of all Europe, which cannot find a parallel for such a butchery in modern annals, but the world would appear to have forgotten Louis Napoleon's coup d'etat of Dec. 2. For the French republic and raised himself to what was practically the imperial torn. On that occasion the usurper scrupled not to deluge Paris with the blood of its citizens, hundreds of womens lost their lives, so that, as far as murderous results were concerned, the crime of 'Napoleon the Little' was even more fagitious and unjustifiable than that of the conspirators who have murdered the French dynasty. Yet within five years Queen Victoria, on the steps of Windsor castle, presented her cheek to the perpetrator of the coup d'etat.

Address, THE APPEAL, 49 East 4th St., St. Paul, Mima Prayer by Rev. Newell Dwight Hillis, pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn. New York. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1903. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? In 1861, Alexander H. Stephens, vice president of the confederacy, said: "The United States government is founded on the fundamentally wrong assumption of the equality of races, but our, new government (the confederacy) is founded upon exactly opposite ideas. Its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the Negro is not equal to the white man, that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition." In 1903, J. K. Vardman, the ranter and anarchist who has been elected governor of Mississippi, and who declared in a public interview that his election means that a "nigger is a nigger," says: "The race problem is one in which the whole country is vitally interested. I firmly believe that it will be one of the leading issues in the coming national campaign. I advocate, and shall advocate with all my energy, the repeal of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of the United States constitution. Sooner or later they will be repealed." Now, what's the difference? Ten of the convicted Danville, Illinois, rioters are now safe in the Chester penitentiary, Mrs. Bessie Dodge is at the Joliet penitentiary and Thomas Bell, the boy rioter, is in the Fontiac reformatory. Mrs. Dodge, the virago who harragued the mob and urged the killing of brave Sheriff Whitlock, attempted to curse Judge Thompson, after she was sentenced, but a bailiff hustled her out of court. In prison she will have ample time to reflect and curse to her heart's content. Some fool Afro-Americans in the backwoods of the South passed resolutions thanking the Caucasians for the Jim Crow car and other discriminations against the race, and the Southern press have taken up the matter, praising the fools for their "manly stand." That's the Southern idea of manhood. The good Lord deliver the race from the boot lickers, who say thank you, when they are kicked. The Atlanta Journal thinks that Mississippi has become the leader of thought and public opinion in the South. If this is true, the South is doomed. If the South refuses to educate the black man's children, their ignorance and degradation will pull the white man down. William Pickens, the Yale prize winner, should use his talents in defense of the race and not try to brittle his people on every occasion. Southerners have picked up Pickens and supplied him with money and probably it's a case of "Whose Bread I Eat, His Song I'll Sing." An Afro-American thief in Chicago confessed recently and two Caucasians were arrested charged with receiving stolen property, and it was found that the men who disposed of the loot reaped the most profit, the thief getting but a small share. One of the meantest papers published, so far as the race question is concerned, is the Baltimore Sun. It never neglects an opportunity to say something against the Afro-American. As a "knocker" the sun is a great success. Dr. Lyman Abbott says universal suffrage is a failure in the country as a whole. Evidently Dr. Abbott favors class government. CHARGED WITH ASSAULT. Brutal White Man Attempts Assault on Young Woman. Jonesville, Va., Sept. 13—Harmen Pendergraft, aged 62, named middle schoolmate for miles north of bed was placed in jail here last night on a warrant sworn out by Williard McLain, charging Pendergraft with attempting to assault McLain's young SEEKING THE WRONG REMEDY. The gentlemen who write long editorials and indie learn articles for the magazines on the "nameless crime" and the remedy therefor, may be scholars and statesmen, but they are not practical by any means. Let any man lay down his own premises and he can produce almost anything. The trouble is, the premises are incorrect. For instance, they hop on the better element of the colored race for not teaching these people better, for not pointing out to them, not only the wrong, but the danger of such things; some writers go so far as to say that the respectable element rather shows an inclination to protect, or at least to sympathize with, the victims of these cases, though we doubt it—at least doubt that any well educated or respectable Negro ever does this. But the point we make is this—the class of Negroes given to these outrages never go inside of a church; they never attend school; they never hear, much less read, of what is going on. In other words, they can not be in school. The class of Negroes, the Rowan Baptist Association, composed of colored people, held in this place, some strong talks were made and papers read condemning this crime in unmeasured terms, yet how much good was not? Done a man of the class sought to be reached was in the house. It can be said that others could not be reached, and the trouble a church or any school, but the trouble is in-locating this class. They are isolated from the best element of their race; in fact, the ignorant Negro gets it into his head that his brother who knows something is "stuck up" and don't want to know what people are doing, and people get the same idea in their heads, so that it is impossible to reach these classes. Sifted down, the cure lies in education—in school and in the church—any and everywhere, but the first thing is education, for if you can get a boy to attend school, he will learn these lessons, and if you can read "read or cipher", but the point is to reach him, to pen him up and enlighten him—Greensboro (N.

Within the last decade, there has been written a good deal of interesting reading matter dealing with the history of colonial period. Much of the matter that has been written about the hardiness of hardiness and ill preparation, and can hardly be classed as standard literature. "Social Life in the Early Republic," has written historically and well. This lady has written dealing with the men, the most strenuous period of development and evolution was not only well received by the public, but looked forward with much expectation to the present volume, which may be termed the first chapter on "A Social Evolution" carries one straight to the heart of the subject. Little prologues or apologies which usually characterize works of this class, morals with that politeness and delicacy of manner which renders the city of Warville, who visited the principal cities of America soon after Revolution, observing Frenchman recorded that he discovered Frenchman recorded that he discovered he found more luxury and less neatness, in women so charming that he frankly admitted that for beauty and conversational skills, he was well with those of any court in the Old World.

Indeed it was given the precedence to Mrs. Madison at a state dinner that he aroused the antagonism given the precedence to Mrs. Madison at a White House etiquette does not seem to have occupied Mr. Jefferson's life and either from carelessness or because of his defiant red-republicanism, he quite easily wrote interesting chapters on the politics, society and intellectual of the early inhabitants of the Republic. The illustrations are profuse and some of the illustrations show the first time in a published biography (e.g., the pastor's life). The author is the Leader of the Springfield Bar," is full of interest, as the author Barr, who was a pioneer in that of the average ploner, upward and onward until he became a pleader of such cases.

He saw before him a group of earnest, zealous sincere man, and undertake Titanic tasks, but at the end of the war the two own theories and advocated their individual methods with a tenacity that would therefore, when he arose in response to the unanimous demand for a speech from Lincoln, was flooded with a desire and a purpose that would complete the patriotic emotions of his associates. Those who were present say that at the end of his career, and in a monotone, but gradually his words grew in force and intensity until he swept the world. He was a man of great intellect and his hearses "arose from their chairs with pale faces and quivering lips and pressed unconscious towards him." His influence was frasier than any other. THE REAL BENEDICT ARNOLD. The Real Benedict Arnold. By Charles Burr Todd, author of "The True Aaron Arnold," and by John S. New York: A. S. Barnes & Co. The "real" and "true" people seem to be unpleasant to him. An unpleasant impression has prevailed in many quarters that Benedict Arnold has left to his country were ignored and his great fault was not over-emphasized per se. He was a man of great curiosity to one's country far surpasses the man who is not to be condoned in any wise. There may be, however, certain circumstances that he deed and modify the bitter condemnation. --- THE STORY OF THE SLAVE The little book contains much valuable information. SALLY WISTER'S JOURNAL.

It is written from the standpoint of the best and good-will for the race. The association Gordon, by way of introduction, whose services as governor of the state, as a representative of the general, has won admiration and universal regard is a guarantee of the great Christian purpose of the Caucasian. It is a book not for the Arop-American but for the Caucasian. Its revelations will be a source of agreeable astonishment to him. ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE The Romance of the Commonplace. By Gelet Burgess $1.60. San Francisco. This is a volume of modern philosophy. which ranks in that class of essays made famous by yelena, who wrote clever things in his book, and one may glance at any chapter and discover many commonplace things with great desire to tell secrets," writes the author, as one of the most contagious writers of some rigorous moral constitutions never succumb, or an opmiddle beginner a work whose moral integrity on the rampage is well nigh irresistible. Tell your friend until it will end. But above all never confide it to her who asserts she never has the power to make a seeded sown in fertile ground, it will germinate and flower long after you have forfeited it and bring forth fruit you never planted." Again: "Flattery is, however, an edged tool, and it works with it. De is not everyone who has had to accept a glance just how much his victim will authorize the treat of art, science and philosophy, and with what criticism, and withal, with so much of his power to render this book of unusual interest." * * * Successful Advertising.

By Henry Ilo Philadelphia: Henry T Coates & Co. Mr. Hlowizi will remember the terrible revolt and says he has been an eyewitness of most of the incidents narrated in the book, and that he has been a messiness that comes of suffering: 'The Tartar enthroned in St. Petersburg is the men's relations between his iron frenzies, ready to crush him who dares to put a straw in his mouth, and the men are limited to the confines of the palace; it covers an empire where the sun never sets, the sun never sets, the sun never sets, the soul and body to the city. It is an unwieldy mass of heterogeneous humanity in various stages of degradation, at least in the first stage, and in other and all baiting the police and the army. It sentiments form the undercurrent of the book and are in strange contradiction to what has been written of late rebellion, and that they have been adopted. They are in keeping, however, with the latest newspaper accounts of the revolt, and surpassed in barbary. The book is a timely contribution to current literature. STORIES OF GREAT ARTISTS.

The big production of last season, "Sky Farm," which is to be seen at the Grand Opera House next week, was Boston's trump card of the year for almost four consecutive months and the equal delight of New York City for nearly 100 nights thereafter. But a limited number of New England towns could only be played in the interim. The piece has been given a presentation which in extent and liberally rivals those established successes, "Old Homestead," "Lover's Lane," etc. The cast of "Sky Farm" is regarded as exceptionally strong. Such names as Frank C. Hartwell, Marie Boland, Frederick Burton, Francis Camello, Grace Hull, Edwain Norman, Gusie Hart, Harry Hart, John Doe, John Doe, Francis Justice, Leonard Ide, George Ebber, Adessa McClaren and others means much among those who are competent to judge the requirements of the play. The play itself is considered the equal of, if not superior to those other great successes of Mr. Kilder, "A Poor Relation" and "Peaceful Valley", which the author furnished the late Sol Smith Russell. The company cast to the various characters has never been surpassed in a piece of similar kind, for each individual is a finished actor in his or her respective line of work. The result is a beautiful bounded and cohesive whole, "Sky Ride" coexists with a great mass - theatre-goers, probably because of its superabundance of fun and love-making. It has given the keenest satisfaction to thousands of the best class of theatre patrons, and is destined to throng the house here. BIDDLE CIRCLE L. G. A. R.

Life should be a constant physical revolution. Oxygen is a feeder of living tissues. Disease and sickness arise from lack of vitality, which is due to lack of oxygen in the blood. OXYDONOR animates and thus reverses this degeneration, opens the way for the whole organism to drink freely of oxygen, through the pores of the skin and membranes, and sets in operation an energizing, irresistible, vital force, which sponches oxygen disease. OXYDONOR will serve the family. It cures you rest, and its results are equally efficacious for the infant and grandseiure. The following testimonial, one of many hundreds, testifies as to the efficiency of the Oxygenonor: St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 28, 1903. Dr. C. S. Wilson: I take great pleasure in notifying you that I have given the Oxydonor a thorough test later, when my wife was sick with La Gripe, Bronchitis, and a touch of Pneumonia. It was a severe attack, accompanied by high fever, and I must confess that I had some doubts about the outcome. But to my surprise the Oxydonor worked like magic; I had to use it in ice for 35 hours, but it conquered the disease. Applying the Oxydonor two more nights perfected the cure. Yours very gratefully.

Does Not Undo a Crime; Simply Adds Another. In a sermon on "The Christian View of Lynching," delivered Sunday at the First Baptist church of Evanston, the Rev. B. A. Greene said lynching might some day lead to anarchy, and pleaded for the suppression of mob violence. "There is a sense in which God alone can do justice to an atrocious crime," said the preacher. "When a thing is done, you cannot undo it by turning yourself into a bloodhound and following up the criminal and not undo it to break the all door-gap out the culprit and hang him, riddle him with bullets, or burn him. Lynching does not undo a crime; it simply adds another." WHITE FIEND. Convicted of Outraging His Own Young Daughter. Raleigh, N.

Translation from a Dresden Paper. In the United States there is at present tremendous indignation on account of the massacres in Kisheneff. President Roosevelt has received delegates of the B'nai B'rith and has promised intervention. Great meetings are being held in which the Russian 'animals without souls' are damaged in the name of culture, humanity, of human rights, and the liberation of mankind by the American government. Zaym mkills an innocent Negro because town authorities have wrested the guilty Negro from its grasp. In the Eastern hemisphere innocent Jews are killed because they are Jews, and in the Western hemisphere one makes Nero's torch out of Negroes, merely because they are Negroes. Under these conditions the enlightened Occident had particularly little reason to become indignant over the barbaric Orient-Orient and Occident are no more to be indicted than they are under the suspicion that he is looking more for Jewish votes and the strengthening of jigolism than the redemption of humanity. One can understand all this, but it is not to be excused. Over here and over there the same circle. First you depress a whole people until they are parliaments, deny them civic equality, social recognition, industrial peace, and then, when you have made them cowardly, dirty, treacherous hyenas, you till them as hyenas or pour petroleum over them and let them cook.
