SWORE AT SECRETARY STANTON BOY'S IDEAS OF "CHEETING" QUALITY THAT WINS SUCCESS CHOOSING THE IDEAL WIFE NONSENSE ABOUT "LOST ARTS" LONGING FOR OCEAN'S SECRET VOL. 21. NO. 44. About every one in Portland—in fact, all over the state of Maine—knew "Long John" Holmes, sometimes called "Swaring John Holmes," for he was also one of the largest hearted of men, and was not awed by wealth or position. This story about him was related by the Hon. William Pitt. Fessenden. He said during the first year of the civil war Holmes was in Washington looking for something to do, while he was in the United States Senate. He was in Secretary Stanton's office one day, and Stanton said: "I am in New England a good man to buy horses you recommend and for the position" Fessenden said he could as one of his townswans was in Washington looking for employment, and a better judge of horses was not to be found in the country. Stanton's reply was: "Send him in to see me and I will give him a place." Fessenden sent for Holmes and gave him a note to Stanton. The next Judge Henry A. Shute has a characteristic boy story in the October American Magazine. Pliy read a paper on "Cheeting," in which the following occurs: "I guess most everybody cheets some, sometimes somebody comes to the house which nobody wants to see and Aunt Sarah will say, for mercy sakes Joanna there comes that dreadful woman but when she comes in they say they are a肪 glad to see her and make her take of her things and stop to super and they put on the best clothes and but this so one day I asked Aunt Sarah if wasset cheeting and Aunt Sarah she said perhaps it was, but if we didn't do eny wise cheeting than make people feel pretty good she gessed it wasset very bad cheeting. "They is other kinds of cheeting two, once me and Beany was fiting Mr. Grimshaw, one of whose daughters was about to be married, decided that among other presents he would give her a fine sewing machine. With this purpose in mind he stopped at a shop while on his way home one afternoon, and inspected the latest and best styles of machines, but thought it best to be in no hurry, and went away without having made a purchase. A day or two later his daughter surprised him by telling him that a man had called at the house and left a machine as a sample, promising to call and take it away again if the man bought it. "But it's just exactly the kind I want, papa," she said. "If you are going to give me a sewing machine I would rather have that one than any other." "Well, child," he responded "then we'll let it stay." The next morning he called at the address giv The following original description of the perfect wife is taken from a book by the late Max O'Rell, the French humorist, just published in Paris: "Marry a woman," he writes, "smaller than yourself. Do not marry a woman whose laugh is forced and does not spring from the heart, but marry a woman who enjoys a joke and looks at the bright side of everything." "Marry a girl who is a bit of a philosopher. If you take a girl to the theater, and on hearing there are no seats in the stalls or circle, she gaily exclaims: 'Never mind, let us go into the gallery!' marry her. It will be easy to live happily with a girl writing to the back benches with her husband. "Do not marry a woman who has the fast ways of what is called 'smart "Not so many years ago it was quite commonly asserted that modern workmen could not quarry, or, having quarried, could not handle stones as large as the monoliths of Egypt," says a scientist, "and the writer writes a card public speaking to assert he is impossible to handle with modern implements, such large stones as were used in the pyramids or to join them as perfectly as they are joined there. Yet, when occasion arose, larger stones than any of these were quarried in Maine and some of the larger monoliths themselves were transported, not only to the sea, but across it and erected in England, France and America. There are individuals to-day who might if they chose cause the transportation to and creation in this country of the largest pyramids or build Ah! what pleasant visions haunt me As I lay upon the sea. All the old romantic lore, All my dreams come back to me. Sail of sails and ropes of sail; Such as glam in ancient lore; And the singing of the sailors. And the answer from the shore! Most of all, the Spanish ballad Haunt me off and tarries long, Of the noble Count Arnoldos. And the sailor's mystic song. Like the long waves on a sea-beach, When the sand as silver shines, With a soft monologous audience, Flow its unhurried lyric lines; Telling how the Count Arnoldos, With his hawk upon his hand, Saw a fair and stately gale. Steering onward to the land; day Secretary Stanton sent to the senate for Fessendon to come to his office at once. On his arrival Stanton turned to him and said: "Fessendon, for heaven's sake what did you mean by sending that man Holmes to me? I must tell you of the interview. I heard a commotion in the outer office, and in came this giant with these words, 'Where in h-1 is this old Stanton?' I turned and said, 'I am Secretary Stanton.' 'Well, here is a letter from Pitt Fessendon. What in h-1 do you want of me?' and the n a string of oaths such as I never heard from any one before. I could not stop him, and could only say, I will see Mr. Fessenden, and now I want to know why you must him hospes." Fessendon's reply was: "You wanted a man to buy horses, and he is your man." Holmes got the job, and continued as the government agent during the war, with credit to himself and the office. and all of a sudden Beany began to hold on to his stumock as if he was sufering feerful and when a feller is fitting and holds on to his stumock, it aint fair to hit enny more than it is to hit him when he is down, and so i stopped and leaned over to see if he was hurt and Beany stranched up and hit me a feerful pain in the eye and blackened it and so i got licked that time.

"It's all right," he said, "and I'll take the sewing machine, but would you mind telling me how you managed it? I live a mile or two from here and you have no possible means of knowing who I was." "I haven't the slightest objection to tell you," replied the shopman, "inasmuch as there's nothing to be ashamed of. When you left here the other day I sent my boy after you. He saw you enter your home, made a few inquiries in the neighborhood, and found that there was going to be a problem. I was very long the rest was easy."

PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1905. AT THE PASS OF THE LONG SAULT 1660 By Wm. Ravenscroft Elsey Love for the Old Home Mankind is nomadic, and while the sweetest poetry in the language is inspired by the old home, the monumental work in the world has been accomplished in the main by those who left the parental roof to pursue elsewhere the quest for fortune, fame and high success. Nevertheless the love for the old home abides. The reunion of those who remain and those who have departed is an occasion that will stir the pulse of any community in which such a soulless event takes place. The prety announcement was made by a newspaper in a little New England town which was about to celebrate its old home week that "the Jones boys have arrived and Charles will preach in the Presbyterian church on Sunday."

The Senate lobby was crowded, and senators were in their seats, on the tiptoe of expectancy, for the strains of martial music could be heard from all directions. At this juncture a figure in a glittering and brilliant uniform pushed through the aisle. This was Marshal of the Day Hawley. Drawing his sword, he made a profound military salute, and announced, "Mr. President, the governor of Missouri and his staff now approach!" Without removing his pipe from his mouth, Brockmeyer responded: "Vell, let him come; dot is not we are here for!"—Harper's Weekly. Recipe for a World. Take one man, a woman and a garden.

Wetmore, a milionaire resident of Allenhurst, N. J. and the oldest member of the New York Yacht club, has contributed a scheme whereby he can keep in direct communication with his brokers in Wall Street while he tours the New Jersey roads in his automobile. A wireless telegraph instrument has been placed in the tonneau; another is in the railway station at Allenhurst. There, the station master receives messages by wire from New York and transmits them by wireless to Major Wetmore. The instrument will transmit a distance of twenty miles and it is seldom that Major Wetmore goes farther than this in his automobile. Before he perfected the business arrangement he was reluctant to move. Now he feels no hesitancy in standing out on the road in his machine all day, for he can give any order he wishes to his brokers.

I satisfy hunger, and men grow hungry three times a day. Three times a day they come to me. "A man once asked me to give him a job because he ate so much.

There Was a Limit. An Irishman one day went into the shop of a barber to get shaved. After being properly dressed and the lather about half applied, the barber was called to an adjoining room, where he was detained for some time. The barber had in the shop a pet a monkey, which was continually imitating its master. As soon as the latter left the room the monkey grinned the brush and proceeded to finish lathering the Irishman's face. After doing this he took a razor from its case and stopped it and then turned to the Irishman to shave him. "Shipt that!" said Pat.

Steps are being taken by the colored people to have the event celebrated by members of their race through and organize more and more the fact that the work of Mr. Garrison and his co-workers not only freed the black race, but was equally important in enambling a large part of the white people of the country, and conceded, that to Mr. Garrison and his co-workers we owe, in large part, the fact that we now have a united country. As the national, and even international character and value of Mr. Garrison's policies are now so widely recognized, I am pleased to race which he most served, refrain from usring up the public the importance of seeing that the celebration of his one hundredth anniversary shall be of such a character as to do credit to him, and to the years pass by, all of us are enjoying the fruits of Garrison and we should not fall to keep before this and coming generations the hero and far reaching nature of his services to mankind and the repub Yours truly.

Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have subsulted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole.—President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1905. PRESIDENT IN THE SOUTH The progress of President Roosevelt through the South was not only a triumphant ovation, but a demonstration that the South has a great deal more sanity than some people suppose; and that the Jeff Davises, Graveses, Tillmans and Vardamans represent merely the surviving specimens of the antidiluvian element. Such men are essentially Bourbon—they learn nothing, and they survive. The President made his best speech at Little Rock, Arkansas, and very properly rebuked Governor Jeff Davis for his illiliteral sentences when he said: "I have spoken all over the country, but I would not make a remark here that I would not make a remark here. I am fortunate in being President of a country where to praise one State you do not have to run down any other. I am for all of them. I have been noticed not by the superficial differences of the people, but by the positive likeness. The average American has a good fellow. His words against class distinctions were strong; "What is true of occupations and positions. Thank heaven, we are free now from all the danger of territorial antagonisms. Now we must see that, in order to survive, we must embrace theisms of the class or antagonisms between capital and labor. Treat each man according to his worth as a man. Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous substituted loyalty to class over loyalty to the man. The man who is true to you is ultimately righteous. The man who will seek to persuade you that he will benefit you by wronging any one else will wrong you when it will benefit him. "What we must do as a nation is to defend for the immutable principles of virtue, regarding vice with abhorrence, with any artificial divisions we have done irreparable injury to the people." The President in no uncertain terms, denounced lynch law, which was approved by Jefferson Davis. The President said: "To avenge one man, we must reduce it to reduce the avenger to the bestiary. Another thing which makes this lynch law so aberrent is that three-fourths of the crimes for which it is invoked are for others than that it is invoked for the country. Governor, you can all others in authority owe it to you to drive out the reproach and the murder of lynch law in the United States. The President took a firm stand for the Afro-American's Citizenship rights when he said at Tuskegee, the White man, but it is to his interest, to see that the Afro-American is protected in property, in life and in all his legal rights. Every time a law is broken, every individual in the community has the right to his life lowered. "The future of this life pends upon the people of both races, living up to the spirit of the law and working out the destinies of both races, not as races, but as law-abiding citizens. In all of his speeches the President made the same demands for a "square deal" and the Afro-American can ask no more than that they be treated just the same as other ethnic elements of Afro-American citizenship. Theodore Roosevelt is President of all the people. LIBERTY FOR RUSSIA The present upeaval in Russia is the result of autocratic rule and despotic methods of government. The Czar has abdicated not the historic throne of manomoe but absolutism. He has been the most powerful and demands of the people for greater liberties. His yieldance sounds the death knell of tyranny all over the world, for everywhere oppressed classes will take inspiration from the Russian monarchy. The revolution in Russia was very carefully timed and executed without general massacres. The horrible reign of terror which immediately preceded the Revolution in France has been happily averted, doubtless through the effacement of M. M. M. in compelling the autocrat all the men to listen to the voice of the people. Nicholas the Second was wiser than James the First, wiser than the imbecile Louis, wiser than George the Third. He will probably retain his arbre but the people will rule the empire and his acts will be held accountable by a, Constitution, which will ultimately be modified by the people. The condition of the Russian people has been one long nightmare of oppression, of exploitation, of a system of espionage and brutality, by a political department irresponsible and without remorse. When the conditions became intolerable the people arose in their might and abolished their rights from their oppressors. WE SHOULD BE THANKFUL There is certainly matter for profound thankfulness involved in the fact that the people of the South have graciously allowed the Federal Government to participate in the war with Iraq, and that the United States stalwart statement of that bumptious section have not protested sternly and horrifyingly against this suspuration of the police functions of the state. For contra the Boston Herald, it says Faye will come announcement that when Congress meets there will be a strong effort on the part of the intelligent citizenship of the South in favor of the national government and acquiring the national government and charge of the quarantine at all ports of entry subject to yellow fever invasion. Those who will advocate this course feel that, in view of experience, it is the only sensible thing to be done. But the Herald we regret to say is not specially exhilarated by this striking exhibition of devotion to the old flag, and replies to the people who long to become "wards of the government" thus: This example of the government is not a national state, calling upon the national government to bulwark them against conditions that are largely the result of their own neglect to govern themselves with proper regard for their own welfare is not a good one, especially when it comes from states which have contrived the elimination of the alleged ignorant and degraded element of the electorate, and secured the control of "the best citizens." A recent speech of Secretary Bonaparte abounded in such telling points as the following: THE APPEAL is strenuous in advocating John' candidacy on account of the unparalleled, and unappalled fitness for the position of senator for the democrats who live in Georgia. He is 48 years of age—just the right age and "Every faculty of mind and body is at the best of its ability to accomplish itself. I am fast and just by temperament and constitution. He be the least doubt of John's ability to accomplish all of the aforesaid, for he tells us "I have joined in controversial debates of the Western and Northern legislatures of Western and Northern the controversialists of every great Chaucer, with with every international parliaments, and with every college and university in the republic." So there can be no doubt that when John democratic the other fellows will be of abhorrence as much use as the directors of an insurance company. The Maryland Democratic platform affirms that "The Negro vote as it stands today is a perpetual menace to the prosperity and peace of Maryland, a menace to corrupt, the blight, instrument of unscrupulous leaders." The census of 1900 showed 260,979 whites of voting age in Maryland and 60,460 Afro-Americans, or more than 40 percent of every voting Afro-American. When the 2010 white voters of Maryland have the moral principle enough to place political dishonesty in the same category, financial dishonesty, they may safely be excluded from the world by such poliooeroy. Maryland civilization seems to be very much like the Deacon's one horse shay, which when an earthquake occurred in Lisbon, went to nothing. All went to first, first to second, just as bubbles do when they burst. "through the working together of the influence affecting the Negroes, the birth rate will be so that the death rate in the area so that there will be a time, and that not very far distant, the latter will exceed the former and the latter will exceed the former and then will come extinction. This will occur as it has occurred to the Nation, and the native of the Sandwich Island will be able to stand civilization any better than in the island or the Islander." The foregoing言言 is the National Magazine. We are of the opinion that the writer is rather hasty in his clusions. The whole fabric is surmise from beginning to end, as none of the premises are established facts. No "influences" have as yet availed in the United States to prevent the Afro-American from maintaining a very fair rate of increase. This fact shows that the rate of increase. This fact shows civilization for nearly 300 years. We very tryng circumstances and has thriven amid the worst surroundings. Dr. Butler, president of Columbia University says: "Put bluntly, the situation which confronts the American people today is lack of moral principle. The greed for gain and the greed that they have blinded men to the time-old distinction between right and wrong." And the great cause of this lack of moral principle is color prejudice. No more plausible pretext for discarding moral principle than race hatred has ever been invented. And it is at the same time so effective that it leads to every other form of evil. No man is systematically and persistently induces the contribution to the degradation of his faith, not out fitting himself for the practice all forms of dishonest and villainy. A newspaper wail, now going the rounds of the press, is that "few Afro-Americans-career life insurance." As American in addition to carrying Afro-Americans, in addition to carrying life insurance, Equitableaband and other companies, controlled by Caucasians, have several mutual organizations extending to the country which are virtually life free. Freemasons, Pythians, Sons of Honor, Eastern Star and others have this insurance feature and a majority of the members, both male and female, have this insurance. The American company has as yet developed a Hyde, a McCall or a McCurtty. Another of Bro. Thomas Dixon's amazing blunders is his statement in regard to the "Negro" that "his land swarmed with powerful and docile animals." All ethnologists agree in answer to African Africa as the original home of the black people of them mentions the fact that the region swarms with powerful and docile animals. Even Bro. Dixon ought to know that England had to buy Missouri mules for use in the Boer war. Even Bro. Dixon ought to have heard of the tsetse fly which renders it impossible for animals of the horse kind to live in Negro land. Dr. Dixon is appalled by the consideration that the "Negro" race if allowed to remain in the United States will by the end of the present century number 60,000,000; and asks us to think of what it means for a moment. Our opinion is that it means that the white race, according to Dr. Dixon's mode of computation, will then have to agree that the condition of things, in that present, will be just as it is at present, the Afro-American constituting about one tenth of the population. The young Caucasians of Columbia, S. C., were about to mob Thomas Dixon Jr., after the presentation of "The Clansman" in that city Monday night, and he escaped only by locking himself in his room at the hotel. It would be poetic justice if the advocate of male violence had given a dose of his own medicine. Here's a specimen of the Louisiana square deal. The white men teachers are paid an average of $42.50 per month and the white women teachers, $33.25. Afro-American men teachers are paid an average of $27 per month and the Afro-American women teachers an average of $23.50 per month. Rev. Thomas Dixon says: "Education is the development of that which is." That may be so; but we very much prefer the definition given by a "professor" who has defined education as "a transformation from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity by a series of differentiation." Iowa's new census, just completed, tells of a number of Afro-American citizens, the state who are over 100 years of age. On one of the year one person was 119 years of age, one was 105, another was 103, another 102 and two were an even 100. Can any other state beat that? We suppose Thomas A. Dixon is supremely happy now that it is reported that he is the most famous of the direct cause of the mobbing. Goodman at Bainbridge, Ga., last week AN INDIAN RAILWAY PECULIARITIES OF TRAVELING IN THE EAST. Wandering Passing Offer Tributes to the Passing Locomotive—Berths of Cars Made Up in Layers for the Economically Inclined. "In India a prospective traveler sets off for the station with a native servant, who will get the tickets, choose the seats on the train, look after the baggage and on the journey make all necessary purchases," says a writer. "At the station he finds a motley crowd—the larger stations always seem to be crowded—composed for the most part of natives. Both the women and the men display gorgeous colors—even to the lowest castes. The women are cumbers of many hues, while the formations of many arrays are arranged in robes of glosseas dyes, have silver, glass and other gems, many very valuable, in their noses and as earrings. Some, perhaps the majority, have been waiting about the station for an hour or so, for the Indian natives are rich in time, if in nothing else. The men are circulating the bubble-bubble, or slowly chewing the pansuparl—that is, the betel-nut quid, the universal and perpetual solace of India. You will try it once, but never again. It consists of chips of steel nut cracker and mingled with a pinch of lime, the whole being wrapped in a leaf of the pepper vine and fastened with a clove. The women, poor gentle souls, have some chuppies—cakes in a cloth, with a 'hand' of bananas or a basket of mangoes and perhaps a water jug. "Even the tourist carries a 'tinn' basket, filled with potted meat, biscuits, wine, soda water and machinery for brewing tea. He has also his own light bedding with him, two silk or cotton reskins, well wadded, and a pillow; a pillow case, calico sheets and a basket. The seats in the train carriage are firmly deep and are so arranged as to be able to sleep night. All the first-class compartments have a double roof to them, to soften the fierce impact of noonday sunshine, and the windows are duplicated with purple or green glass and shutters, to exclude the hot winds and the choking dust. On some lines, too, the third and fourth class carriages are fashioned in stories, so that there are layers of humble travelers berthed and heads of the others. In this luxurious room, you can interact with his family, contentedly journey day and night and go upon pilgrimages, being easily satisfied if he can only get over the ground cheaply. "For miles and miles the journey is to be beguiled by watching the monkeys, the bandarang, those strange fourhanded folk, who come down to sit in the babu trees and to look at the passing trains and the travelers. They perch by families on the branches of the trees lining the track, with their long tails swinging and their furry jaws busy with the fruit which they have stolen. Or they squat in companies about the fields of millet and grain, the old gossips together and the youngsters merrily playing. One of the most extraordinary sight is the wandering tribes offering tributes to the passing loco-motorists, even presenting themselves before, as the crowd watches which they style the 'devil's string'. Nearly all of the engine drivers are Europeans, for neither the Hindoon or Mahmomedan has, as yet, the courage or the knowledge to drive the terrible and wonderful fire horse. Life. Would you have the world be kind? Would you have the world be kind? Hide not gifts of heart or mind On the future shelf— Give them gifts of heart or mind From to-day's most precious store. Would you meet with truth? Then truth You must proffer first. Life hath need of grace and truth, All that is good and true and truth, Truth's gold passes, and straight, And is always worth its weight! Would you honor gain? Be swift For you, The deserving to uplift, Crown the crowned anew Would you be crowned anew In whatever work, well done. Would you be beloved? Then love! And be sure of this Whatever er life's gifts may prove, All that is good and true, Grand, or dear, or fair, is less Than Love's matchless loveliness! —Martha Edgings in Youth's Compassion. Sioux Descended from Japs. Dr. Charles A. Eastman, our civilized aborigine-American fellow-citizen from Amherst, Mass., told a Detroit audience that the Sioux tribe undoubtedly were descended from the Japanese. The names of many of the Japanese battleships are, he said, practically Sioux names so little changed as readily to be recognized. In connection with the theory it is interesting to recall the author of another writings of North American Indian is said to have found in the Philippine colony at the St. Louis exposition representatives of one of the savage races of the archipelago whose language he understood with little difficulty—Detroit Journal. Did Not Kiss Blairney Stone. Ex-Attorney General W. H. Uensel of Pennsylvania, who is now in Europe, and is contributing a series of interesting articles to the Lancaster writer Ireland that he did not go to Blairney, as he had been there before and because "several Irishmen told me I had no need to kiss the famous stone." J. H. Seger, agent of the Cheyenne Indians at Colony, has adopted a plan of having the young Indians of the settlement earn their livelihood by doing farm work in that section. He has issued orders that all of them prepare to pick cotton this fall, telling them that their provisions and clothes depend upon this work. Plant Keepers Water Pure. M. Billard and M. Bruyant, two naturalists, have just discovered a microscopic alga which grows very easily and rapidly in water from which it can be dredged up, and which preserves this water almost indefinitely THE CURING OF CONSUMPTION. Great Work Being Done in New York Post Graduate Hospital Adele Hospital. For the benefit of poor consumptives unable to leave their work, or to go from home to a more prolonged climate, the New York Post-Groth Hospital some years ago set up a portion of its free dispensary. Some of the methods employed are described in Pearson's. The patients report at the hospital twice daily, and these daily gatherings give the physicians in charge "an opportunity to cross-examine the patients, to correct their faults of living and instruct them how to make the most of their means. The patients are bidden to eat all they can of wholesome food, allowing an interval of meals between meals. Things specifically require coa, chocolate, vinegar, alcohol in any form, beef tea and meat extracts. It is preferred that the patients do not use tobacco. Fresh air and cleanliness of person and surroundings are insisted upon. Frequently the patient's occupation will not permit of his controlling his supply of air during the day, but he must sleep with his windows wide open in all kinds of weather. Why do we hear all this talk the great necessity of fresh air in current consumption? The reason is that heat is necessary; that if the fat you take into your system is to be utilized as energy it must be kindled, and that to kindle anything you must have oxygen, which is found in proper quantity only in air that is fresh. Women patients who wear corsets must take them off." Besides being instructed as to the method of cure, the patients are taught that "the curing of a cause of tuberculosis depends as much, if not more, upon the determination and will be instructed as upon the skill of the physician." Some heroic struggles are made by some of the patients who are determined to get well. The writer tells of one poor woman who, with both lungs affected and a cavity in her chest, s bundled up a whole winter in a room with the windows wide open, while she sewed with fingerless gloves, blowing and then to relieve the numbness. Her health was happily rewarded with recovery. REMEMBERED IN HOME TOWN One Man at Least Had Not Forgotten Old Citizen. "There may be something in this going back to the old home, after long years of absence," remarked the pensive loking old man, "but I don't think I want any of it." "You've tried it, eh?" was asked. "Only about a month ago. I used to live up in Connecticut. In fact, I taught myself there for two winters. After an absence for seventeen months the fit selzed me to revisit the old place and gaze on the old familiar scenes once more. I thought over it for a week, and then got so homesick that I packed my grip and started off. I had only struck the village and began looking for changes when a lusty young man of 25 stopped me on the street and asked: "Isn't your name Bronson?" "Yes, sir, that's my name." "Didn't you used to teach school here?" "I did, and if you are one of my old pupils I shall be glad to shake hands with you." "I am one of your old pupils all right enough," he said, "but there'll be no shaking hands. I was a kid of 7 or 8 when you taught your last term, and on three different occasions you tanned my jacket when another boy was to blame. I swore to get even with you, and now the chance has come. Say, Bronson, I'm going to lick thunder out of you," "And did he?" We walked. We kissed my nose, and pulled my hair, and was busting my ribs when they pulled him off, and gave me a show to get back to the depot and Brooklyn. Yes, lots of sentiment connected with the dear old past, but I'm not around looking for any more."—Brooklyn Citizen. High Liquor Licenses The highest per capita receipts from liquor licenses are reported by the cities of Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, Washington and Nebraska. By state law Minnesota cities contain liquor that the inhabitants can not license a saloon for less than $1,000 per annum, but may increase this amount at their discretion. In Illinois the general dram-shop license for cities is $500 or more per annum, at the discretion of the local authorities. Licenses in Washington must be between $200 and $1,000 per annum. In Nebraska cities a license can not be granted for less than $1,000. either require other states mentioned either require permit the collection of large amounts by cities for liquor licenses.

What He Wanted to Be. The young woman of the family was sitting on the front porch with her caller and Bobbie, her little brother. A fire department wagon went by on the way back from some small blaze. "Bobbie," said the young man, wouldn't you like to be a fireman when you get big? "Naw," grunted Bobby. "Would you like to be a policeman?" "Naw." "What would you like to be?" "I want to be a worthless blockhead like pop sez you is an' own a auter-mobile like you," grunted the small boy—Kansas City Times. Knowles Building. Boys' Hall. Stone Hall. Girls' Hall. Model Home.

At Least Have Some Form of Diversified Interest on Which You Can Converse With a Friend—Mistakes of Some Women. Do you live in a rut? Women are very apt to do so, although the majority of them are loth to admit it. Narrowmindedness, which is so often a result of a life spent within contracted limits, is common to women, they say, but the accused will answer, "Why, my life is not narrow! I have my house, or my profession, or my social circle. Do you call that living in a rut?" Any or all of these interests may, however, result in stagnation, mentally and physically, and, what is worse, conversationally. Either a woman or a man is at liberty to devote all of his or her interest to a certain object. But what about the friends of that person? One may have a sympathetic interest in a friend's occupation or in her children, or in her bridge playing, but one occasionally becomes a little weared of a repetition, a constant recurrence to that pet subject of the innocent but shortsighted woman who harps eternally upon one subject. She devotes her mind and energies to that subject to the exclusion of all others. She dreams of it, she ponders over it, and only too really she reverts to it so constantly that her friends at last wish themselves miles away. A schoolgirl is apt to be blamed because her conversation is limited to her school—her friends there and her studies and pleasures, which are shadowed by the walls of the schoolhouse. But is her mother free from blame when she she finds a continual source of conversation in her servants and her household goods? Does it interest her friends any more to discuss the children's bright sayings, to praise her waitress' neatness and her cook's superiority, than to listen to a school girl's prattle? The society devotee is quite as apt to overdo the matter as her more domestic sister, and the woman with a profession talks "shop" entirely too much as a rule. But she should not allow herself to dwell entirely upon one phase of life. There is plenty of interest in other people's affairs, there are gay and absorbing pictures in the vista of daily life, and every woman should watch herself carefully lest she fall into a rut of one sort or another. It is surprising to find how readily the habit is formed—more readily, of course, by women than by men, as the latter are thrown more into the world's happenings. A woman should ever beware of making herself the central subject of her talk—her home, her profession, her health, how naturally she comes to consider them. And it is quite natural that she should. But before she burdens her friends too much with her history let her stop and wonder whether she would like to listen to her friend Mrs. X. and her personal troubles or her sewing society problems for hours at a stretch. It is not meant by this that one should not speak of or ask sympathy in one's own interests, but there is a limit to patience, and if a woman must have a "hobby" she should not expect her friends to ride it constantly, too—Philadelphia Ledger. Are Japanese the Lost Tribes? Are Japanese the Lost Tribes? Are the Japanese the lost ten tribes of Israel? The Jewish World revives this old theory, remarking that it was probably inevitable that they should be sought in the Japanese in view of the fact that the museums of Japan contain numerous engravings purporting to show the landing of Jews in Nippon. One of the pictures cited is said to show a procession in which the ark is discernible and in which the priests wear hats of biblical pattern. Another depicts Solomon in the act of receiving gifts from the queen of Sheba, while—and this is regarded as the most conclusive of all—the founder of Japan's dynasty of 126 emperors bore the same name (Osea) as the last king of Israel (Hoshea), his contemporary. Twilight Hour. The sunlight on a waveless sea— the sun's rays slowly flow; The folded flower, the mist-crowned tree, Proclaim the gathering twilight. It is the hour when passion bows; A solemn stillness sheds its fingers; A breath of air, the sun's touch; We feel the touch of angel fingers. It is the hour when lovers lord (For love its native air is breathing) Drape with fair hopes life's drear beyond Gay garlands for the future wreathing. It is the hour when in far land The wanderer, tired of coassess room- Longs for the clasp of kindred hand, And in the dear hear enwrap in gloaming. It is the hour when mankind hears. Amid earth's mingled moans and laugh- liness. Easy to Destroy a Warship. The modern iron and steel clad war vessel of the battle-ship type may withstand a terrific cannonade from without and yet succumb to the dropping of a match, the careless handling of a kerosene lamp or a defective electric light or power wire.—Omaha Bee.

Few realize that one of the fast-vanishing tribes of Indians forms the richest "nation" in the world. These Indians, known as the Osages, abide on a reservation in the northeast corner of Oklahoma. The government for many years has held a large sum in trust for them, until even now there is but a vague idea as to their individual wealth. It is well known that every Indian—brave, squaw and paoose—on the reservation has at least $5,000 or $6,000 to hfs or her name in the government's keeping, as well as a quarter section of land in the Osage reservation. This land, which has recently been developed, shows almost inexhaustible resources. These Indians have accumulated wealth under the maternal policy of the government. Their chief amusement consists of visiting, which the broad hospitality of the west makes an exceedingly inexpensive pastime. Their wants, being few, make slight demands on their resources in the way of food and clothing. At the same time the word "work" is an abomination to them. They lease their lands to small farmers and cattlemen and devote most of their time to strenuous avoidance of anything like labor. The Osage reservation consists, in round numbers, of about 15,000,000 acres of land, which was originally leased by about twenty-five cattlemen at an annual rental of $45,000 a year, but with the advent of the small farmer these broad acres have been cut up into small sections of land and are proving exceedingly remunerative to the tenants as well as to the Indian landlords. FACTS FROM RUSSIAN CENSUS. Vast Number of Illiterates in the Land of the Czar. Final results of the Russian census of 1897 are still appearing at intervals. Among the latest figures published by the statistical department are the following: "The total population of the Russian empire (excluding Finland) on May 10, 1897, was 126,586,525. Of these 57,128,604 were members of the orthodox church. Old believers and other sections numbered 2,204,596; Mohammedans, 13,306,972; Roman Catholics, 11,407,997; Jews, 5,215,805; Protestants (Lutheran) 3,572,653. A division of the population on the basis of classes gives the following results: Hereditary nobles, 1,220,169; nobles for life, or by virtue of office, 630,119; priests of all Christian denominations, 588,947; honorable citizens, 342,937; merchants, 281,179; burgeses, 13,386,392; peasants, 96,896,648; Cossacks, 2,928,842; foreigners, 8,297,967. Illiterates numbered 99,070,426 (79 per cent). Students at the universities and other institutions for higher education numbered 104,221. Too Much for Her. Marguerite Watson was a small child, who, like many another, had the inconvenient habit of asking embarrassing questions before guests. When her mother had company to lunch and dinner it seemed to be her especial delight to comment on every unusual dish she saw on the table. One day Mrs. Watson, who lived in a small town, invited some friends to lunch. Wishing to have it particularly nice, she sent to the city for candles, fancy cakes and icees. Marguerite was allowed to come to the table on the sole condition that she should not speak of anything strange she saw. As soon as the little girl sat down her glance fell on some candied white grapes. For fully ten minutes her eyes were fixed on the bon-bon dish as if fascinated, but she said nothing. At last she could stand it no longer. "Mother," she suddenly burst out, "just tell me where you got them, and I'll never say another word!" The Headless Charger. In connection with old Admiral Jau-rajureguible a writer remembers a curious incident. At the fight of St. Joan-sur-Erve, during the retreat on Laval, the admiral was galloping along the front, his tall, bony figure erect, his long gray side whiskers streaming in the wind, when some fragments of an exploding shell absolutely decapitated his horse, which nevertheless galloped on quite forty yards before it fell, the admiral meanwhile retaining his seat unmoved, though he profited by the respite to free his feet from the stirrups in such a way that as the horse collapsed he easily alighted. His only comment in response to the congratulations he received on his escape was very characteristic. "Some people imagine," said he, "that sailors cannot ride."—Dunede Advertiser. Her heart was like her garden. Old-fashioned, quaint and sweet, a little girl with blossoms Hid in a still retreat. Sweet violets of sympathy can always opening there, And little girls with whispered prayer. Each one a whispered prayer. And flowered because they must, Then all our own roses reached toward heaven Their own roses reached toward heaven on trellises of trust. And in that quiet garden-- The quiet garden of her heart-- Sacred halls, hests, and carolled The songs of our apart. And from it still floats back to us, Oceaining sin and strife, Sweet tears of love blown, The fragrance of her life. Alice E. Allen in Good Housekeeping. Inventor of Frankfurter. Frankfurt has just celebrated the centenary of the frankfurter. The inventor of the famous sausage was Johann Lahner, a citizen of Frankfort, who opened a pork shop in Vienna in 1798. In 1805 he invented the sausage. It was received with open mouths, so to speak. Even the emperor ate it. Lahner made his fortune. Frankfurt was proud. Pensions to Confederates. Texas, in the fiscal years 1906 and 1907, will pay $900,000 to Confederate veterans for pensions, besides expending $55,458 for the support of the Confederate home.
