WHISKERS IN SEASON RESULT OF - SUCCESSFUL SKIN GRAFTING OPERATION. Amaturie Surgeon Did His Best, and Was in No Way to Blame, But Nature Proved Herself Triumphant Over All. Perhaps the most curious case of surgery that was ever performed in the region of the Adirondacks is that which was executed upon William McCoy, a woodman. McCoy has just returned from the Spring Lake Mountain humber camp after an absence of two years. He brings with him the strange story and its proof. A year ago last May he was working with John Duffey getting out some long poles to repair a chute which is used to slide logs down the mountain side. Duffey went to cut a limb by an upward swing when the axe shipped from his hands and went flying through the air. It struck McCoy and its keen eyes. He fell off of his right cheek. He bled profusely while they hastened to the camp a hair mile away. There was no doctor within thirty-five miles, and worst of all, the streams were raging torrents that could not possibly be forded. Communication with the outside world was cut off and there was not likely to be any means of getting to a village for some days to come. But as luck would have it, there happened to be a nurse in camp from Utica named William Henry, who was out roughing it for his health, and having McCoy in hand. Having put himself on a flow of blood he went to be ill, took a little fawn that some of the boys had captured a couple of days before, shaved the hair for about nine square inches off the animal's side, and then he carried it to the camp. He took a fountain pen and marked out on the shaved surface of the fawn the shape of the wound on McCoy's face. While some of the woodmen held the creature, Henry cut the skin around where he had marked, teased it off, and applied it immediately to the face of McCoy. Having fitted in place the bandages, he put balsam gum and over that he placed eight bandages. The man stopped bleeding at once. A week afterward Henry took off the bandage. The graft was found to be a perfect success. The wound was healing rapidly, and it appeared that the scar would show but slightly. In four weeks McCoy was healed so well that he was able to go to work. Soon after, however, he noticed when he drew his hand across his cheek that hair was growing on the grafted skin. He was rather pleased at that, for he thought that he might wear a beard and thus entirely hide the scar. But in a few days more the hair had grown so thick that its color and nature were clearly visible. He had the hair of a beard growing, and, moreover, it was spotted like that of a fawn. He did not dare to shave for fear of breaking open the skin, and allowed it to grow until the fall of the year. Then the spots disappeared and the "blue" coat of a full grown deer took its place. When spring came around he saw that the hair of his cheek was falling out and fine red hair was growing. At last the blue or winter coat was entirely gone, and the red suncoat took its place. In fact, he and the other woodsmans, to their merriment, saw that the grafted skin varied and changed precisely as does the coat of a deer. THE LANGUAGE HE KNEW. Immigrant Clearly Understood the Final Sentence. "We are not exactly linguists," remarked the Ellis Island inspector thoughtfully, "but we all have a few stock phrases in nearly every language of the globe—things that we need in our business, you know. We also all have a theory that we can tell the nationality of a person at a glance. "Well, the other day the regular interpreter was called away and I took his place for a few moments. The first to come before me was a man that I sized up as being an Italian. So I asked him in Italian where he was going. I might as well have been speaking Sanscrit; my Italian never touched him. Then I tried him in Serbian and in three Polish dialects, then in Russian, and finally in German and French, but all to no purpose. Just then the regular interpreter came, and I said to him with some warmth. "I wooed what — language this understands, anyhow." "I understand that, so he said." Refinery in Cemetery A local cotton oil man recently reported a rather amusing incident regarding the proposed independent cotton oil mill at Columbus, Ga, says the Memphis Commercial. As an inducement to the company to locate at Columbus the city council of that place recently offered to sell ten acres of the Riverdale Cemetery tract to the refinery people at the nominal rate of $5 per acre. The statement is added that "ample land will be left for cemetery purposes." As it is proposed to have a $500,000 plant, it is barely possible that a good-sized cemetery might not be adjoined to adjacent acres to light the trunk if the experience of the majority of them in the state of Georgia can be taken as a criterion. It is not thought, however, that the city council had any ulterior motive in offering the tract of land in question. REBUKE FCR AN UPSTART. Attorney General Griggs Was Afraid of Turning His Head. When John W. Griggs was attorney general in President McKinley's cabinet he broke a long-established precedent in his department. He determined to break his callers of the habit they had of addressing him as "general." "I have no claim on the military title, so Mr. Griggs. One assistant politician paid no heed to the attorney's request. He considered "general" a good jolly, and by this means persuaded Mr. Griggs, as he thought, to find a position for a friend. "How does your friend like his job?" asked the president's legal adviser a few days later. "When I told him what you offered," said the politician, "he turned up his nose. Haven't you something better for him, General?" "I have," and the attorney general smiled as does a man whose opportunity has come, but I cannot offer him. His position has turned your friend's a better one will turn his head." Thereafter the politician and his friend referred to him as Mr. Griggs. WRECKS OF WALL STREET. Men Ruined for Business by Speculative Operations "Wall street leaves an ineffaceable stamp upon a man," said a New York lawyer the other day. "It isn't so apparent when he is on the crest of the wave, for he spends his money freely and no one questions his means of getting it. But when he goes broke! He is absolutely unfit for getting on his feet unless he can do it in a day. He has been accustomed to seeing fortunes win and lose but fortune will not knock at the same door twice. "I know a man who went broke in a crash six years ago. He is a good business man when not imbued with the fever of speculation. He could obtain a good position at $5,000 a year. But he would have to work, and work hard to earn his salary. So he is looking for 'easy money'—to make his million in a year. Consequently he has borrowed from his relatives until they are tired of him. They want him to go to work. But nobody will help. The batter will light the they do until it is too late and the last golden opportunity has slipped away from him and left him a speculative and misanthropic wreck." I Loved You So. I loved you so-I was so young, you see. Then they say no gable between my love and me. I gave you all my spirit best-coub- I did not stop to think-I loved you so! I loved you so-I was a helpless thing. My heart a harp responsive in each string. Until your touch, and yet you did not know Nor understand then, that I loved you so. I loved you so! My trembling lips were dumb. How slick abject, pleading, overcome. How could I voice the useless words that go. To tell of loving when—I loved you so? I loved you so, I could not smile, or part My lips to breathe the passion in my heart. I dared not lift my eyes—their overflow Would then have told you that I loved you I loved you so—and now, is love well worth you The years and tears of sorrow since its birth? Thought He Needed Something. Prof. R. H. Chittenden, director of the Sheffield Scientific School and professor of Physiological Chemistry at Yale, has been very much interested lately in the theory that people eat more food than is required, and would be not only healthier, but able to accomplish the same amount of work or exercise if they ate less. He has even gone so far as to try the experiment on himself. He summered at a tasting resort in Malta and be ordered for his usual simple breakfast a cup of coffee. The waitress looked puzzled, but brought the coffee, asking if that was all. Upon his reply in the affirmative, she suggested sympathetically: "Don't you want a doughnut?"—New York Times. What a Swimmer Says This is the advice of an old swimmer to those who cannot swim: "Any human being who will have the presence of mind to clasp the hands behind his back and turn the face toward the zenith may float at ease and in perfect safety in tolerably still water. When you first find yourself in 'deep water you have only to consider yourself an empty pitcher; let your mouth and nose, and not the top of your head, be the highest part of you, and you are safe. But thrust up one of your bony hands, and down you go—turning up the handle tips over the pitcher." There is reason and logic in this. Hie Slur at Chicago. Miss Gladys Deacon has been repeating of late, with considerable scorn, the charact,ization of Chicago that an Englishman recently made for her. "Of course," Miss Deacon said, "the Englishman was wrong, but he was rather amusing. He said: "There are two classes in Chicago, the aristocrats and the common people. The common people are those who kill pligs. The aristocrats those whose fate killed pligs. Touch them where in Chicago and smell brittle up." THE APPEAL. THE BLOSSOMING OF AN ALOE. A tall, slender tree with a long, narrow trunk and a spiky, green crown. The tree is surrounded by a grassy field and a few trees in the background. A person is walking towards the tree, wearing a long, flowing garment. A Century Plant is in full bloom in Oak Forest cemetery, Hinsdale, Illinois. It is the property of G. K. Wright, president of the cemetery company, and was presented to him by the Mexican government at the close of the World's Fair. The plant was the finest specimen that could be found in Mexico and was shipped to Chicago to adorn the court of the Mexican building. It was grown on one of the great pulque haciendas of the southern republic. Mr. Wright's plant has been visited by scientists Story That Excited Resiliabilities of the Czar. In spite of heavy crown on kingly brow, Czar Nicholas II, of Russia, has allowed a condition in America to stris his resiliencies. And our old friend the ice man is connected with the story. While entertaining an American who is interested in the railroads of Russia, and having heard the United States lauded to heaven in all of its departments, the American not some condition in America so glaringly wrong that it needed correction. "Yes, here is an instance!" said the American frankly. "With the approach of hot weather the American employer orders ice for his water cooler. The ice man at 6 in the morning slides twenty-six pounds of ice on the pavement. At 8 o'clock, after the ice has been exposed to the sun for two hours, the office boy arrives and drops the greatly diminished chunk into the cooler. At 9 the employer comes in. He sees an insignificant crystal bobbing in the water tank and becomes wrathy. Calling his stenographer he dictates a letter on the capacity of the trust, signs it "Suffering Rubble," mails it to a newspaper, and proceeds to make it hot for the innocent ice man." "And that is what the ice man likes," laughingly rejoined the Czar— Philippines' ARM "Penal lives are 10.6 per cent bet "Penal lives are 10.6 per cent bet that male lives" says the Chicago health department. "Why don't insurance agents take advantage if a woman is willing to take our insurance there is a strong probability that she knows that her health is in danger. If a man who knew that his health was in danger should apply for insurance his conscience would hurt him. A woman's conscience, however, is seldom as vigorous as her intuition. Her intuition is the proud guiding star of her existence. And when her intuition begins to operate in a field which is unfamiliar to her as insurance its mandates are irresistible. to be there, that in general the women who don't get insured are good risks and the women who do get insured are bad risks.—Chicago Tribune.

Defective Page and botanists from far and near and all claim that it is the largest ever known to bloom away from its native climate. The plant was 12 feet in dime; when the first sign of the blossom appeared, but as the stalk grew higher it drew all the vitality from the plant and sapped the life out so that scarcely anything remains of the leaves; they are all shriveled and brown. The stalk is 31 feet high and has about 2,000 flowers. The Century Plant blossoms but once and then dies. Condition of Horses to Count More Than Speed. Sir Evelyn Wood has invented a military ride under new conditions, which are to be tested over Salisbury plain. The conditions are twenty-five miles of distance to be covered, the riders steering by compass, and horses to be brought in in such good condition as to show no spur marks and be able to eat a feed of corn within half an hour of coming to the winning post. Among the most important of the minor conditions attached to this ride is that which provides that the horse ridden at a speed the property of his rider for at least fortnight, or if he be a government horse shall have been ridden regularly by the GATHERING GATHERING PEANUTS. man who mounts him in the competition for a previous fortnight. In order to give competitors no advantage from local knowledge, the ride is to be over a course that will be indicated to the riders by the markers posted at different places on its devious line and each marker will indicate to the rider only so much of the course as will suffice to take him to the next of these living signal posts.—Country Life.

PATRIOTS OF GREAT WEIGHT. Heavy Men Fought in the Revolutionary Battles. The biggest officer in the revolutionary war was Col. Swift, who weighed 230 pounds. Gen. Washington, always in fine training, and without a pound of superfluous flesh, weighed 200 during his campaigns. Gen. Benjamin Lincoln, who surrendered Charleston to Sir Henry Clinton and afterward accepted the sword of Gen. Cornwallis at Yorktown, was 224 pounds availoups. Gen. Henry Knox, Washington's mouthpiece on many occasions, and he who said "It is a rule in war never to leave a fort in your rear," weighed 280 pounds and was as light on his feet as a kitten. Great bulks those! Gen. Jedidiah Huntington weighed 182 pounds, Lieut.-Col. Cobb 182 and Gen. Greanot 166. They were regarded as light weights. Col. Michael Jackson, who had five brothers and five sons in the war, and who at the battle of Bunker Hill killed a British officer in a personal encounter, weighed 252 pounds. His brother, Gen. Henry Huntington 212, and Col. Humphreys 221. Humphreys, the poet, was favorite aid-d-camp to the Union. Winfield Scott, the old "Puss and Feathen," was most imposing of all the illustrious soldiers of the nineteenth century, possibly of all the centuries. His was a more imposing presence than Washington's. He felt "off his weight" at less than 285—New York Press. Quargel Over Dog's Nose Quarrel Over Dog's Nose. To the uninitiated the color of a dog's nose may seem a trifle, but to the breeder of dogs may be more important. A Berlin woman has recently found it so. At a woman's kennel show, held not long since, the judge of Italian greyhounds held that the nose of this breed of dog should be black. This particular exhibitor, the owner of several entries in the various Italian greyhound classes, being dissatisfied with the judging, appealed to a well-known breeder. He gave it as his opinion that it is permissible for the color of the nose to follow the color of the coat, and that it need not always be black. This statement gave great satisfaction to the exhibitor and high dudgeon to the dog show committee, when it considered the unsportsmanship of an appeal to an outside authority, and it expelled the woman. She has now brought an action against the committee for damages. 'Tis a very pretty quarrel as it stands. A Bet on Benner. Samuel Benner is red-headed and calm—a queer combination.

Philosopher Satisfied He Had Done Some Good. "I was over at Allegash the other day for the first time in four years," said the Kohack philosopher, just a bit sarcastically, "and I found my nephew Luther and his estimable wife still squabbling over the same question they were quarreling about when I was there before. The only change that I was able to detect was that, while in the first place they appeared about now, they were "angling about, by this time they seemed to have forgotten what the original bone of contention was, and were quarreling monotonously along without any way of knowing when they had finished. "Well, when my appearance interrupted them, Luther was startled to see how much thinner I had grown in four years, and his wife was astonished at the way I had grown fat. And at it they went, quarrelling over that, and the original question was shelved for good and all. I came back wanting to help for the trip. I is a satisfaction to know that you have done a helpful act, and I expect I did them a great favor by breaking the monotony, and giving them something fresh to wangle over." -Junge Smart Set. THOUGHT THE BUSINESS GOOD Fisherman Would Like to Be Bishop "Coordinator" Two veteran fishermen were discussing the many improvements which have been made at Seal Harbor (Mount Desert) in the last ten years, when one of them observed in his quaint down-east draw: "The'ts a powl handsome dwellin' the preacher from Pennsylvania hes built on Purse's hill." "He ain't a preacher," responded his fellow-craftman. "He's what they call a bishop coagitator." "A bishop coagitator? What sort of a trade's that? Anything like a walkin' elegit?" "I dno, I'm sure. I only know that's what they say he is—bishop coagitator."

Comments From Ancient Newspaper Prove That Human Nature Has Come Unchanged Through All the Ages of the Past. Quite as well applicable to the present age is a comment on "Love and Reason," taken from an almost century old newspaper of the Colonies. With its flavor of oldness, this communication—for such it purports to be—shows abundant evidence that the primal opinions of human nature come unchanged down through the ages. "In affairs of matrimony," says this long ago writer, "some people are governed by love alone and some by reason alone. Both ought to have a kind conscience. In these matters—the are handmaids which go along with the few who are so fortunate as to be among the wise. "Love looks only to the honeymoon. He is a near-sighted little mink; doesn't see two inches before his nose, and yet depends altogether upon his eyesight, and thinks he has a wonderfully clear vision. He is not able to discover any defects, and therefore most soberly concludes there are none. Consequences all lie utterly beyond his ken—you must as well tell him the moon was made of diamonds, and the moon is a dash of trouble in its composition. All this is the natural consequence of his blindness. "Reason is to love what a pair of spectacles is to a near-sighted man—it enables the blind little fellow to look beyond the fair cheek and the blue eye, beyond the wedding ceremony and the wedding supper and the thousand things that cluster round the very idea of marriage. He enable the boy to look beyond all these, to the domestic fireplace to the little cat, to the harder and the ledger, to the pudding and the purses, to the ways and means of living, as well as to the very simple business of loving. "Marry the lass that has the cow," was the advice of an old gentleman to a laddie who consulted him on the subject of a choice between a girl with a cow and one that had nothing but a pretty face. 'So far as beauty is concerned, there is not the difference of a cow between any two girls in Christendom.' This is not my notion, however, though there is something in it. But marry the girl who will manage your domestic concerns to advantage. who is prudent, sensible, economical; get a good disposition; an accomplished maid with it will be all the better, and beauty, if you find it united with all these will complete the tout ensemble. "Don't marry for money, merely—there is neither love nor reason in the world, but they have few things, but it won't buy happiness, and without that a man is a poor creature. Money is no objection, it may be, indeed, an important object, but every other consideration bends to the point of being matched as well as paired, when love and reason join hands." HOW HE'D TREAT AN ASSAILANT. Law Student's Reply Was Natural, but Not Sanctioned by Blackstone James B. Dill, the noted lawyer, who has lately made an automobile journey from New Jersey to the Rangley lake, has always been an original character. A gentleman who was a fellow student at the New York university law school tells a story illustrating this fact as well as Dill's fearlessness of method, even in the days of his pupilage, and long before he dreamed of becoming a good teacher, that has come to him a quarter of a century later. They were members of the class of '78. One day Prof. David R. Jaques, then the chief instructor, was quizzing and he came to Dill, to whom he put this question: "Mr. Dill, suppose you were walking along the road and a man stepped up and struck you with his fist. What legal conditions would arise? What remedies should be pursued? What, in my case, would I say, 'My first step, I think, professor,' replied the young student, "would be to land him one on the jaw." Had Not Missed It. On a certain occasion, while Thomas Hill, the artist, was rusticating up in the White Mountains, he was commissioned by a wealthy farmer named Perkins to paint the old homestead, and was particularly requested to give a large maple tree standing near the house a prominent place in the picture. A few days after the completed picture had been delivered Mr. Hill heard the following dialogue between two rustics in the neighborhood: "I hear that artist fellow has been up and draw-draw Perkins's tree." For a moment there was a pause, then a drawing voice said: "He has, eh? Well, where has he drawn it to?"—New York Times.

Councill of Normal, Ala., because he wrote an article to that paper practically indorsing the ideas of John Temple Graves. Good Lord deliver us! Any Afro-American who indorses the sentiments of any man who desires any sort of abridgment of the rights, privileges, immunities, ambitions that are, or should be, his by virtue of being a native of the United States deserves the condemnation of his people. The only trouble there is in the so-called "race problem" is that one set of men arrogate to themselves the right to determine what another set of men shall be or do; insanely believing or hoping they will be satisfied with anything less than would fully satisfy themselves. From such men as Graves and Councill again we say, Good Lord deliver us! Governor Richard Yates, at the opening of the annual reunion of the Southern Illinois Soldiers' and Sailors' Association, delivered an address on "Mobs" and gave evidence that he was all right on the subject. He said: Mob rule simply tore down the good influences that the human race had accomplished during the past. Lynching was the essence of cowardice. It permitted no trial, no appeal. It gave no quarter, but expected quarter to be given to lynchers. "As I love the memory of the past and revere the flag that you veterans preserved," said the governor, "I will keep my oath and put every bayonet and rifle belonging to the state against the further use of lynch law and mob.violence." Long live Governor Richard Yates! The lynching fever has been so epidemic that the Afro-Americans of Luxora, Ark., who, it seems, catch the vices much more easy than they do the virtues of the "superior race," caught it when a man named Hellem assaulted two little Afro-American girls last Saturday, and they lynched him. This ought to satisfy the not-willing-to-be-satisfied whites that rape is condemned by Afro-Americans as emphatically as by themselves. Now as we condemn lynching just as much as we do rape we will say amen if the legal authorities will arrest and hang every mother's son who participes criminis in the lynching. The National Negro Baptist convention, which met in Philadelphia last week, put itself on record in regard to rape and lynching by the passage of the following: "Resolved, We make no special plea or excuse for such criminals of our race; we frown upon any one who is guilty of criminal assault upon women; and we, the representatives of two million people of the black race, desire to place ourselves on record as saying that any man who assails helpless womanhood is not worthy of the benefits of life, but should be given a fair trial." John Alexander Dowie, who has successfully solved the problem of how to get lots of money out of his followers, has taken a hand at the solution of the race problem. His plan provides for the intermarriage of blacks and whites on the ground that "we are all members of one great family," and he intends that his theory shall be put into practice at once in Zion city. As the fear that Brother Dowie's theory might be generally put into practice is the real cause of the so-called race problem there is little danger of its being allowed to be tested. GOING TO EUROPE. Booker T. Washington Takes a Short Trip Abroad. New York, Sept. 22.—In regard to the report published in several news papers yesterday morning, Europe because of being in broken health, Booker T. Washington, who arrived from Tuxekee yesterday, and who is staying at the Hotel Manhattan, said: “As a matter of fact, my general health was never better, but I have had no vacation, and a number of days in Europe. I take a short trip to Europe. I have yielded to their wishes, but shall return on the same ship I sail upon, and shall not be gone longer than three weeks altogether.” Of the Tuskegee Institute and its prospects for the year, Mr. Washingtoe, the principal, said September 8 with the largest attendance in the history of the school. So great is the desire to enter the school that we have been compelled to refuse admittance to 1,048 young men and women who have applied in the last thirty days."

The book gives an insight into theACHED boy presented Afro-Americans that will no worst foes to a republic are Democracy and Caste. The first leads to anarchy, and Caste is the worst. May the American people ever win this. It is a very interesting story, and being a contribution to the race question, and mastery over the accepted literary forms, it's interest is therefore enhanced. He was born into a deepening upbringing into youth, in a northern community, and belonging to the prosperous class, he became the fate that had cast his lot with that of the poor. He was born in a complexion, and possessing all of the physical characteristics of the white race, he could not understand what he should be the fact that "Mammy Sally," his ostensible friend for existence at the North against the congenial climate of the South, because of the time she decided to return to the more difficult life for existence at the North against the tireless competition of New England and his platymates, worked as a farm laborer on the plantation of Colonel Cunts, and comfort to his hard working mother, first encountered with the "Jim Crow car, and soon after his arrival at the place where he took up his permanent abode, he soon became a victim of his race identity, which cultivated his identity. His life as a farm laborer was one of the most difficult jobs he ever took to toll, relieved occasionally by the comradeship of old "Olec Kish," a typical white boy, with whom he hunted possessions while boy, with whom he hunted possessions Denied admission to the local public school, he was allowed to grow up in illiteracy and ignorance but for the philanthropic spirit of the school, he was adopted planting a companion plant who gave him private lessons. As his young mind compasses the world, he and he fretted a caged bird under the "Curse of Caste," which fell upon him. On a hunting expedition one night with Joe Watkins, he got himself up to the public whipping for a crime of which he was innocent, but was unable to establish a relationship to the incident for which he had been tried, was sent out to the court, but there might be no possibility of his exoneration. Saved, by a friend, he returns to his lowly habitat, and is shortly afterward taken to a psychiatric hospital. The rescue of this woman instead of attracting to himself the friendship of his hatred and dislike of the "white nigger." While in a delirious condition, and nursed by a friend, he is sent to a scene is enacted, which results in his being carried to the "Great Grouse" where he is brought through some mysterious influence. Treated as an adopted son, he is finally reunited with his second time he meets Theodore Roosevelt, who once again comes into his life. ```markdown ``` SOCIAL LIFE IN THE EARLY REPUBLIC.

The "real," and "real" people seem to be unpleasant impression has prevailed in many quarters that Benedict Arnold lost to his country were ignored and his loss to his country were punished, but unreasonably punished. Treach ery to one's country far surpasses the other great treacherous to one's friend and may be, however, certain circumstances which explain the deed and modify the fate. Not condoning Arnold's treason, Mr. Told emphasizes his invaluable service to the Colonies: first at the battle of Valour's battle, by the way, in which our arms were engaged), where, by his desperate efforts, they gave up their plan of invasion from some respect for American arms that they gave up their plan of invasion from the siege of Fort Stanwix in the Mohawk Valley and putting to flight the Leges of Saragossa, which included, on third and fourth by winning the two battles of Saragossa, which included, in the clive battles of the world. It was the influence of Arnold's wife and his fear of losing her should her treasonable correspondence be violated, which induced Arnold, so to betray his country, and not the gross injustice general—the motives generally ascribed. The book is an original and unique illustration. The illustrations are interesting and instructive; especially noteworthy in the reproduction of the burning of Arnold in effect. As death drew near, it is said his mind was filled with the anguish of fighting his battles with Washington and his old comrades in arms. in a lucid introspection, he form of a major-general, in which he had been a slave, had ever cherished, might be brought and put on him, with the epaulets and sword in his hand, given him as the bravest of the brave. "Let me die in my old American uniform," he said, "and I fought my battles. God forgive me," he added, "for ever putting on a uniform." --- THE STORY OF THE SLAVE Slavery and Servitude in New Jersey.

See also the less than sacrilegious to mismeet their Words being the red corpuscles of language, it follows that the smaller one's sense of the word is more sensitive to his brain's children." He paints and understands the value of words as only the few do, and in producing this work he has merely utilized the words in the training, so Persons are correct as to grammar, others as to rhetoric. A wrong use of the word is very sensitive to the trained grammar, the improper application of a figure of speech to a word is too severe, and took some trouble to instruct them. One day a customer called and said to Dr. Raleigh "Eggs are eggs." "Darn glad to bear that I got here were me nc in the Worth of Words."

The Mothers mining country, the Mediterranean of San Francisco, the scenes I ntre Philipines, Including the blockhouse and the dock scene at San Francisco, with the Transport swinging from the dock on its way to Manila, are well worth seeing. The fight aat the blockhouse No. 7 is stirring. Here Mr. Blaney introduces a rapid firing gun that was used on San Juan Hill. This is one of the best battle scenes ever presented on the stage. The play is not lacking in mirth provoking situations: whenever the excitement dies down, the fun pops up. Harry Clay Haney is responsible for the greater part of it. He is "Willie Live" a newspaper correspondent, and his many accomplishments are brought to the fore. He introduces his singing and dancing specialties. The company numbers about sixty people and includes many well known players. Visitors to the city and residents also, who wish to get first class meals should call at John Godfrey's, no. 552 Wabasha street, between Tenth street and College avenue.

The Legal and Legislative Bureau of the National Afro-American Council is not in a circular asking contributions to a fund to be used in bringing the case of Rev. H. T. Johnson, plaintiff, (Editor of the Christian Recorder) vs. the Pullman Company, before the supreme court of the United States. The case was recently tried in the federal court in New Jersey, and a jury awarded the plaintiff a verdict for the sum of $500, on May 18, 1903. The judge before whom the case was tried, entered an order setting aside the verdict and giving the Pullman company judgment.

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 revives 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 causes diseases of the body. OXYDONOR will serve the family. It curses while you rest, and its results are equally efficacious for the infant and grandmother. The following testimonial, one of many hundreds, testifies as to the efficiency of the Oxygenon: St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 23, 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, JOSEPH SIEP, Anyone wishing to investigate further in regard to the Oxydonor should call on or communicate with Dr. C. S. Wilson, 611 N. Y. Life Bldg., St. Paul, Minn.

In the United States there is at present tremendous indignation on account of the massacres in Kishenheit. President Roosevelt has received delegates of the B'nai B'rith and has promised intervention. Great meetings are being held in the United States to demand the damage in the name of culture, humanity, of human rights, and the liberation of mankind by the Americans. At the same moment a crazy mob kills 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, and over the so-called oppression to be halted. And Alice's father comes under the suspicion that he is looking more for Jewish votes and the strengthening of jingoism 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 parahis, deny them civic equality, social recognition, industrial peace, and then, you have made them cowardly, dirty, treacherous hyenas, you kill them as hyenas or pour petroleum over them and let them cook. Good Lord! SPACE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF Ramsey,—ss. The State of Minnesota to Swan Sweding, Defendant.

He was with her all the afternoon, and then left her bleeding and senseless on the ground. The man came out to Gorham village from Portland on the car from Portland, arriving there at noon, and is believed to have returned early in the evening.
