Mrs. Snigglefriz's Hard Luck Thrown on Desolate Coast Queer Rules of Etiquette Heartless Joke on Lovers VOL. 21. NO. 35. Mrs. Snigglefriz Had to Wear Old Hat to Wedding as the Result of Hubby's Carelessness—And He Thought He Was Clever. A friend of mine from a town over in Virginia came to Washington a week or so ago to buy a hat, says a writer in the Washington Post. We went about from shop to shop, she and I, and we couldn't find a hat she fancied anywhere. At last we came upon a milliner who had something that would have been exactly what my friend wanted if it had not been the wrong color. The Virginia woman wanted either a blue or a tan-colored one, and she'd have to see both before she could decide which to take. In the end the milliner agreed to make up two hats of the shape my friend liked, and let her see them. Afterward, the lady from Virginia decided to leave the task of selection to me and we were so, so sad. I said even meeny, miny, mo to the hats when they were made, and the tan-colored one was it. I wrote to my friend about it, and told her the hat was ready whenever she should order it sent. There was to be a wedding in Virginia town, and the husband of the woman I'm telling you about came to Washington on the day before Crew of Wrecked French Bark Has an Experience Somewhat Similar to That of the "Swiss Family Robinson." A close parallel to some of the adventures recorded in "Swiss Family Robinson" is furnished by the experiences of the crew of the wrecked French vessel Anjou. The survivors arrived in Marsilles the other day. The Anjou, with a crew of twenty-two and a large boat, left Sydney on Jan. 20 for Palmouth and was overtaken by a tempest, which drove it on the rocks. For an entire night the crew remained on the shining ship, at the mercy of the waves, and when morning came they found that they were within a few hundred yards of land, but towering above them was a huge cliff. The crew embarked in three of the ship's boats. The ship's cat at the last moment jumped into one of the boats and a few minutes later the Anjou settled and sunk. For hours the wrecked men searched for an inlet, while their frail boats were dung, bilberry and thither by the huge seas. Toward night they effected a landing on the island. On exploring the island the mariners found a shelter containing a small store of food—one of those Queer Rules Ceremonious Forms of Expression that Appear Vastly Amusing to the Listener Belonging to the Old World. Very curious are some of the rules of etiquette observed by Chinaman, Emile Bard, who has written a book on the subject of Chinese life, says that in nine cases out of ten, however, the form of etiquette has replaced the substance. With the Chinese a refusal or unpleasant truth must be expressed easily. If a Chinaman does not wish to accommodate a friend he never gives the true reason for his refusal; that would be discourteous. He lies politely. The ceremonial forms of expression used in ordinary conversation seem very amusing to the European listener. It is a fixed rule that one must speak and of all the best of forms to him in the most exacted language in referring to the person or property of another. Whether two mandarins or two begs meet and accost each others this is a sample of their conversation: "What is your honorable name?" "Your insignificant brother's name is Wang."

"See that," said Billy W. "That?" was nothing less than a stylishly but simply dressed young lady, just entering an office building. "Well, that is old man B—'s daughter. She's going up to the old man's office to pin one of those roses in the buttonhole of young Sprigg, the old man's clerk. They're on each other, but they fear the 'stern parent', you know. The old man always goes home or to his club about 3:30, and, after telephoning, the young lady goes up for a little chat with Spriggs, tete-a-tete, you know. "So? Good for them! Love will find a way, won't it? "Sure, but think of the possibilities the situation offers for a little joke, now—'boney joke'." "But, Oh come! I'll show you." Oh, come! I show you. Billy led the way upstairs to his own office in the building opposite to the other. Taking down the phone he called up the old man B——'s office. THE APPEAL. it to buy the present his wife had very nearly selected when she was here. As he started out, she said to him, using simple language in order to avoid mudding him: "Now, George. I want you to go to the address I've written on this card and say I want the champagne Monday. Don't forget." George said he wouldn't and he didn't. All he did was to lose the card with the address on it, and that didn't matter a bit, because he knew address of their wine man without having it written down. He ordered a case of champagne to be sent Monday. Then he bought the bourbon dish wedding present, and went back to Virginia. His wife met him at the door of their home. "Where's my hat?" she demanded. "Didn't you bring it." "You didn't say a word about a hat," he said. "You said to order champagne." I wrote the milliner's address down for you! she cried. "Champagne was cool on the hat, and Monday is the name they give that shape. Now I've got to wear my last year's hat to the wedding. George Sniggle-friz, you certainly ought to be tapped for the simples!" erected by the New Zealand government on the desolate coasts of these islands. On Feb. 8 the captain wrote in his diary: "Killed fifteen albatrosses, and keeping ten for to-morrow. We are all frozen with cold and weak from hunger. We ate the albatrosses half-rear." Thursday, Feb. 9: "Made a large fire and dried our clothes. Killed some more albatrosses. We caught some alive and tied lids of the cans, on which we scratched news of our plight, round their wings and set them free." Later they found an old pot, a reel of tin cans, on which we scratched in, which they were able to boil water and cook mussels. An expedition across the island was made on Feb. 20, and a further store of food was found in another hut. Shoes were also discovered, which the men afterward strengthened with wooden soles. Two wild goats were killed next day. Spoons were made out of shells. An improvised flag had been hoisted on the cliff, and at last, on May 7, a ship was sighted. It was the Hinema, commanded by Capt. Bolli, who years has been reexacting the government depots on the inhospitable coasts. The shipwrecked mariners were taken to Sydnev. place. "How many precious sons have you?" "I have only five stupid little pigs." A Chinaman, wearing his finest gown of silk, called at a house where he happened to disturb a rat which was regaling itself out of a jar of oil standing on a beam over the door. In its sudden fright the rat upset the oil over the luckless visitor, ruining his fine raiment. While the man was still pale with rage his host appeared and after the customary greetings the his appearance for his appearance this wise: "As I was entering your honorable dwelling I frightened your honorable rat; while it was trying to escape it upset your honorable jar of oil over my poor and insignificant clothing. This explains the contemptible condition in which I find myself in your honorable presence." It is gross offense to call a native by his name. A superior may do this, but he becomes furious if even a twin brother thus addresses him. It must be either "honorable older brother" or "honorable younger brother" or some such form of assistance. He moves the difficulty by applying to their servants the names of their functions, as boy, coolie, gardener, cook, mafoo (coachman) and so on. After an interval we heard an im-patient "Hello! What is it?" "Mr. B—— in?" "No—he's never in this time o' day. Call up green—double-pink—." Then he waited a few minutes at Billy's window, glancing now and then at the charming scene across the street in B——'s office. Billy went back to the 'phone and again called up Stucco. Again the interval, followed by the impatient: "No; I tell you he he's never in after 3:30." "Strange," returned Billy; "the told me at his house that he left for the office a quarter of an hour ago." "Bang" went the other 'phone, and Billy and I hastened to the window. Such a scouring! I saw her handbag was shy; but she was out of that office in forty seconds by Billy's watch. One minute later we saw a stylish dressed and very rosy young lady hurrying north on Third street, while a somewhat agitated-appearing young man hurried south on the same pavement. Billy seemed to enjoy it; but really it was rather heartless—Portland Oregonian. Ike Ichberg's Brindle Cat Ie Ickberg had a briandle cat. He kept it in his room upon the second story rear of 47 Broome. The beast was wild and dissolute, his ways were dark and rough. He'd squall and fight and roam at night-O, yes, that cat was tough. And when Ie Ickberg left his fat folks said he'd moved to lose that cat. Jake Schoenberg is the janitor at 47 Broome. He took his way one summer day to day in Broome's vacant room. And crouching in the corner on a piece of passe mat, Jake Schoenberg saw the prostrate form of Ie'sbringer briandle cat. "Du schoenke hatz" Jake Schoenberg said, his heart with kindness filled. He reached to pet the briandle cat and cried. "Gewalt! I'm killed!" And when from every_room and hall the frightened tenants come, they find Jake Schoenberg tying up a somewhat damaged thumb. They search the room, they search the flat, but no one finds the briandle cat. The thumb swelled up, the doctors came, they blistered and they bled, and when Jake Schoenberg saw the bills he passionately said: "I pays the sum of 50 cents and may be of that if any one will catch and kill like the briandle cat." Moe Goldham, who had a little nickel gun, and when he heard those burning words he started on the run. And dozing as in innocence, the briandle cat sat on the fence. Moe Goldbaum drew a fancy bead and aimed it straight and true. He pulled the lock, the weapon spoke, the deadly missile flew. And with a dying, gurgling cry of mingled rage and, the pince brindle cat hunched up its back and hurtled off amain. Moe Goldbaum leaped upon the ground to seize his prey, but naught he found.

But, nerved by sense of pain and loss, he got a little sack and hunted for that brittle cat through every nook and cack. And ere the day had passed away and his mother called her boy, young Morris Olcivich ran home in a fit of perfect anguish from his left arm hung and from inside of that came frantic demonstrations by a mighty angry cat. He hastes to Jakey Schoenberg and the tenants in accord say that Morris is entitled to the 50 cents reward. But Schoenberg is a skeptic and his proposition flat is that first he have evidence that this is lechberg's cat. Yet, if they loose the pudding string and give the beast some money they be out again on Broome. The tenants say that Morris is an honest boy for sure and Morris stands there smiling with a smile serene and pure. Jake Schoenberg is a plunger and he risks his 50 cents, and so with satisfaction and with angry violence, he bears the squalling sackful to North river's murky side and hurl it far and sinks it in the dark and rolling tide. So happy he has grown he even pays the telephone. "Twas Saturday at midnight and at 47 Broome; the lights were out and silence reigned and slumber sweet and gloom.

Bishop Potter had been telling the Sunday school convention some of the things the Cathedral of St. John the Divine is going to be when it is finished. "I hope to give no offense to my brother clergy," he said. "If I say that I would go to the church in New York where a stranger can find a place." Then he told this story: "When I was rector of Grace church I noticed one Sunday a group of four or five strangers who stood at the door half through the service, although there were empty seats in the news. After service I called my sexton to me. Brown was an interesting and plec turesque, but, I regret to say, profane personage. "Brown," I said, severely, "it one is to be left standing while there is a vacant seat in the church. I saw four strangers this morning right through morning prayer.

Coal Tokens as Currency Each Had His Specialty American History Is Hard Lycurgus Made Currency of Country So Bulky and Comparatively Worthless That Inducement to Hoard Was Lost. Plutarch says: "Not content with this (the equal division of the lands, etc., of the Lacedaemonians), he (Lycurgus) resolved to make a division of their movables, too, that there might be no odious distinction or inequality less among them; but finding that it would be very dangerous to go about it openly, he took another course and defeated their avarice by the following stratagem de concession and silver should be called in and that only a certain kind of money made of iron should be current. A great weight and quantity was of little worth, so that to lay up twenty or thirty pounds there was required a pretty large closet and to remove it nothing larger than a sake of money and silling to the Spoiling American, "With the diffusion of this money at once a number of vices were banished from Lacedaemonia, for who would rob another of such a coin? Who would unjustly detain or take by force or accept as a bribe a thing which was not easy to hide nor a credit to have nor indeed of any use to cut in pieces? For when it was made to be sold, the gar, by that means spoiling it, and made it almost incapable of being worked." Undoubted Proof That Roman Workshops Turned Out Coins of Bituminous Material That Did Service as Money. Coal was once used as money, but it was a long time ago and in England. The coal money was in the shape of disks, approximating coins in size, and was from Roman workshops, where articles of ornament were made on laths. A writer says: "On the Dorset coast, in the isle of Purbeck, to the west of St. Alban's Head, an outcrop occurs of bituminous shale, which extends more or less for some miles. As a source of fuel this shale, or coal, has been worked from very early times. It is also used by拓款ers of Kinnorridge. Some of this shale is of so compact a texture that it is capable of being worked into ornamental articles, taking a high polish, similar to jet. The Romans, when occupying this part of Dorset, discovered not only the properties of this deposit as a fuel but also its capabilities of being turned in a lathe into rings, beads and armlets, which were no doubt readily purchased by the indices in the important town of Bursa in the South. Some estimates may be formed of the magnitude of this industry by the number of disks which have been discovered from time to time in the neighbor. Taken All in All. Town Probably Had the Best School Board That Could Be Found in Whole of New England. The qualifications for membership on the school board in a certain New England town were carefully explained to a visitor who was interested in education and who had remarked to her host on the way home from the closing exhibition at one of the schools that she would like to know why four men of such apparent dullness had been chosen for the board. "Well, now, you take Abe Rammon," said her host, lightly flicking the whip on the backbone of his stolold old horse, "he's a good choice, fust-rate. He never made much of a boast of book learning, but he keeps a good assortment o' paper and pencils and ink and all such in his store, and sells 'em reasonable, and it sort o' makes him a patron of education, as you might. "Then there's John Willett, he's a free-handed man as ever was, and hauls a good moss o' wood for 'em rail and winter, and never charges a cent for teaming, and puts the price on the wood loot, too.

Our history is hard and masculine; colored with few purple lights; too little related to our tender sentiments and deeper passions. When older peoples have paused, as we did then, they have looked upon far different scenes. Fater companies have stood about more stately figures of triumph or of other great events, now world gone upon. The common chamber, the gaunt, pale President, the strong, bearded counselors at his bedside—this was unlike scenes which European peoples have fixed in their memories. Charles I and Mary Stuart on their scaffolds, the barons and the King at Runnymede, Maria Thea appealed to the blues to take up their words for her child, Marie Antoinette and Mirabeau, and many another pageant of human love and sacrifice are treasured by other peoples as we MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

By subjecting this iron coin to a process rendering it brittle and unfit for any other use Lycurgus endcavated to destroy every desire to hoard it as a treasure." Rollin, in his "Ancient History," volume 1, page 687, says: "First he (Lycurgus) cried down all gold and silver money and ordained that no other should be current than that of iron, which he made so very heavy and fixed at so low a cost that it was necessary to carry home a sum of 10 minae (500 French livres, about $88.80) and a whole chapener to keep it in." This was done for the purpose of sapping the foundation of avarice. From the above quotations it would seem that, while iron was much more valuable than it is now, it still was not so valuable as to justify its being coined into money. It seems that a team of oxen could haul about $88 worth of coin. I presume the same sort of team might haul one that hood, as they are without doubt the cores or centers left after turning articles of ornament. "These discarded disks have been invariably found, carefully hidden away under the surface of the ground, at a depth of about two feet, sometimes with or in Roman pottery and sometimes between two flat stones placed on edge, covered with a third stone at the top. That they were carefully stored and hidden away is beyond question; hence they must have representatively been to them. It would appear reasonable to conclude that they were used by the ancient Britons as tails, or money. The turning lathe of the enlightened Roman was an instrument unknown to the natives and these waste disks, bearing the tool marks of the turner, would have been as impossible to counterfeit by the savage Briton as a minted coin. "That they have been known from early times as coal money is well authenticated. As many as 600 have been found together in one place, but always protected by covering stones or pottery. In size they vary from one and three-quarter to two and one-half inches in diameter and about one-half inch in thickness with the mandrel of the lathe.

Dying in the midst of multitudes, master of armies and of navies, he was still of the frontier; as, indeed, all our American life was still, in a sense, only the frontier and western fringe of European life. True, Lincoln also leads our thoughts back to the princes whose peer he was, but we can pass from his deathbed with no irreverence, no sense of shock or change, to look out, in that plain light of day, upon the whole wide field of work and strife and progress which was always in his thought, and glimpse the attitude and state of the republic when his summons passed, like an angelus, across the continent—William Garrott Brown in the Atlantic. --- HAVE YOUR HEAD THE APPEAL?

In discussing the scarcity of labor in South, the Santa Clarita County maker makes a brief report which is to be sent to Washington. Some of the points of the report are as follows: When given to the newspapers the present rumor is that actual figures, figures and statistics will be included in the report. Of the wage earners and field hands of the south cannot be secured for labor these days because of the fact that they are absolute slaves to cocaine. The other feature expected in the report is that the system by which these slavees have been made fiends is through agents which have been noticed mingling among the Afro-Americans. These agents when questioned have always been quick to state that the represented insurance companies are insurance which is so popular among them. It is not hard to notice in the above the usual amount of imagination and exaggeration generally included in Southern news. All such things are often taken from the real facts in the case. The real evils are the mortgage system, the plantation store and the skinnings alive to which the Afro-Americans are subjected. The Afro-American is inspired with resentment because he is deprived of both civil and political rights in violation of the Constitution of the United States. And he still more represents the destruction of his education at privileges; and it is these things not cocaine, that drive him from the plantation to the towns and impel him to the Afro-American becomes more intelligent, plantation life becomes more intolerable. FREIGHT RATES AND JIM CROW CARS. Commenting upon former Senator Chandler's suggestion that the adoption of the Esch-Townsend bill would do away with "Jim Crow" cars, the Fort Worth Record says that "Mr. Chandler belongs to that class of people who have had opportunities to produce race friction in the South. He is not a friend of the Afro-American in any material sense, and if he could enforce his views for twenty-four hours there would be one of the most destructive race wars in history, precipitated by the racist record to point out that Mr. Chandler represents the sentiments of thousands of people and is their official spokesman. Mr. Chandler has good reliable backing and cannot be bullied, nor frightened by gloomy predictions. It may pain him to learn that he has failed to secure it, but it commensurate him and ruin him politically: should he square his actions by the Record's rule. The threat of a race war great or small will probably not have any effect upon his future course. A meeting of the "Cliv Confederation" was recently held in New York City. The speakers, addressing that meeting, were Emil Boos, general manager of the Hamburg-American line; Nathan Bijlar, vice president of the United Hebrew Church; and the principal agent of the Southern Railway Company; J. P. Archibald, secretary of the New York Civic Federation; ex-Commissioner Joseph A. Senner; the Commissioner Watchorn and J. W. Stillivan, editor of the Weekly Bulletin of Clothing Trades. These railroad and steamship agents are great on literature and they are flooding the country with wonderful tales of the worthlessness of the Southern Afro-American laborer. They would like to secure a劈位 of bushes for their arms and vessels and that is all they care for. They are ready to take anything that comes, criminal, anarchist or leper and are a menace to the country. Our Indian brethren are progressing rapidly in civilization, as is shown by the fact that many vastly respectable schemes for boodling are being developed and are abundantly promoted by the white brother. "Among those indicted are the governor of the tribe, Gov. Johnson, United States Marshal Ben Colbert, and Messrs. Mansfield, McMurray and Cornish, a very prominent legal firm." This firm is the one which not long ago was the chief agent in the payment of their services to the Chickasaw and Choctaw tribes." Such indications are encouraging to philanthropists. The Richmond Times-Dispatch is much clated over the item of news that the Afro-American Presbyterian Church of Roanoke proposes to dedicate a memorial window in their place of worship to the memory of Stonewall Jackson. the pastor of the church in his youth, tendered the school established by General Jackson, which excited his ambition to erect the memorial. Our opinion is that the men of the race who do such uncalled for things to commend themselves to the white man, usually care little for the welfare of the race. The victorious Japanese, although they have the Russians licked to a standsill, have shown they are not hogs and have not been the cause of being peace possible by their magnanimity. President Roosevelt, the great mediator, is entitled to great credit for the result in which he played so important a part. Peace at any price is preferable to war. We might as well have it understood first and last that we protest against any discrimination against the Afro American people. The more cowardly we are the more we will have to submit to.

The National Afro-American Press Association at its twenty-fifth session feels that in the present crisis in the history of the Afro-American people, when it thoroughly organized movement against the oppressive yet utterly destroy; the civil and political rights of those for whom we stand in part as spokesmen, it is necessary to reaffirm and emphasize the following principles fundamental in citizenship and government by all Afro-American newspapers. We present the reiterated statement that this is a "white man's" country, for the Federal Constitution specifically places all of its citizens on equality before the law. The persistent efforts which have been made are being made to nullify the suffrage guarantees of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution are fraught with great danger to the peace and security of the Union. We claim nothing more than what is guaranteed to the Constitution and we will be satisfied with nothing less. We believe firmly in a thorough education of the head, heart and hand. The claim made by certain Southern Caucasians that they have the necessary access to the Southern Constitution is an economic absurdity and is only advanced by persons who seek to befog the public intelligence. We again direct attention to the license of the mob. Mob law is a feature of crime more dangerous to the well being and perpetuity of society, than the intractions of law by individuals. We heartily commend the brave and patriotic position taken by President Roosevelt in the enforcement of the Federal Constitution and the laws based upon it. His words and deeds stand in bold relief, in these times when the right principles and the best interests of the whole people. We reaffirm our unalterable determination to contend in all lawful ways for every civil and political right which is ours under the Federal Constitution, and which is enjoyed without dispute among the elements of the national citizenship. # ST.

Hunter, president of Noxubee Industrial School, situated at McLeod, eight miles from Macon, Miss. This school is in the midst of a dense population and has been doing much good in a humble way for several years and is just beginning to get on a good foundation. There are 350 pubs many of whom travel several miles daily in search of education, which is the one thing needful to bring these people to the plane they should occupy. The school is supported by public subscriptions, county aid and "Harvest Conventions." The school is also the work for the people and it is very largely labor of love as he receives very little compensation compared to the energy, enthusiasm, talent and good common sense which he puts into his life work. Prof. Hunter was just passing through the city home and merely stoped to get acquainted with some of the people. He contemplates visiting the city again when he will, in a public way, tell the people more about his work.

A grand demonstration of appreciation of worth was exhibited last week when the Reliance Athletic Club, a strong white organization of North Minneapolis, elected Mr. Frederick C. Nelson honorary president. The club maintains a football team of eighteen men, which belongs to the Minneapolis Foot Ball League and for the two seasons of 1904 and 1905 Mr. Nelson has been engaged as trainer for the team at a fair salary.

He has been engaged for the State Fair season by the manager of the farm and the Sisters" who come from Montana to do a sensational relay horseback race. These girls ride regular broncos and change steeds on the run. These are all evidences that Mr. Nelson has gained some distinction as an athletic trainer.
