The Appeal

PLOWING—SIXTEEN INCHES WIDE AND SEVEN INCHES DEEP—IN VIRGIN PRAIRIE CHEXENNE While public attention has been directed to the mammoth irrigation enterprises being carried on by the United States government in various parts of the West, little is known of experiments now being carried on in the semi-arid region, which, if successful, will go a long way, toward redeeming a vast empire which has hitherto been looked upon as an unproductive desert. The government has an experiment station at Cheyenne, Wyo., where work has been carried on for two years with most encouraging results. The station is admirably situated, Cheyenne being in what is known as the semi-arid region, extending several hundred miles eastward from the base of the Rocky mountains. This vast sweep of plain, which extends from the gulf to the Canadian line, has, until the last five years, been looked upon as a desert waste, fit for nothing but grazing. All these lands, which a few years ago were comparatively worthless, have jumped anywhere from ten to fifty fold in value in the last five years. The so-called Campbell process of dry farming has done the most to bring about this revolution in prices. Ranch houses are doting the once barren landscape, and wheat have moved in the breeze where once only the corn and wheat and dry buffalo grass met the eye. Not alone is dry farming being practiced successfully, but it has been demonstrated that windmil irrigation can be carried on, as water has been struck with little digging, and, in some localities, fine artesions are flowing. The experiment station was located at Cheyenne, because here conditions are typical of the average conditions on the semi-arid plains. The rainfall is something over twelve inches, and the snowfall is quite heavy. The winter climate is not severe, and the summers are characteristic of the plains in the daytime, but very cool at night. When sod was broken on the virgin prairie, there were many to prophesy that no crops would be raised at the experiment station. But several hundred acres were planted in variegated PLOWING--SIXTEEN INCHES WIDE crops, and the general results have been surprising. Various kinds of farming have been practiced, including dry farming and windmill irrigation. Dry farming proper is simply a conservation of the moisture in the soil. It is by no means a new discovery, though it is called the Campbell process through a few new features which were added by H. W. Campbell, whose practical work yielded the first real results in the West. It is said that ancient Egyptians practiced dry farming, having discovered the secret that, if the earth is kept constantly broken and pulverized there is little chance for the moisture to escape. If it is not, the soil will deterior and early spring will soon evaporate from the earth, but if the soil is kept crumbled it will retain dampness until far into the summer, without need of irrigation. By following this simple rule the government has produced great crops at the Cheyenne experiment station, with no other aid than the natural rainfall of the plains. To the uninitiated dry farming looks like a hopeless task at the start. All around is a barren, rolling prairie, covered with sagebrush and cactus and dry grass. These were the former roaming grounds of the buffaloes in early days, but no man at that time imagined that ranches would dot the vast prairie soil. Nor was any such thing imagined by the emigrants who came later and left the bones of the buffaloes on the plains, nor by the first who traveled over the stage routes to Denver. But when the virgin prairie sod has been turned over by the great steam plow and the top soil has been pulverized and the crop sown there is a different story to tell. Soon the first --- THE APPEAL.

ENORMOUS SQUASH, WINDMILL IRRIGATED, ON CHEYENNE EXPERIMENT FARM. green of the crop begins to show the soil well crumbled, not giving it a chance to bake in the hot sun. There is no rain, and each day the sky is cloudless. But the soil remains moist and the crop continues to shoot from the ground. Then it yellows, and at harvest time HARVESTING POTATOES, there is a crop that well repays the efforts of the farmer. The government has secured not less wonderful results from windmill irrigation on the experiment farm at Cheyenne. Irrigated crops do not need more than two irrigations in a season. One irrigation at precisely the right time, will often save a crop. Consequently the farmer who has a well with a good flow of water is doubly safeguarded. E AND SEVEN INCHES DEEP—IN With the use of denatured alcohol in this country in place of gasoline it is anticlated that small pumps will take the place of windmills in many instances on the plains. Thus the farmer will not, be at the caprice of the winds, but will have a constant flow of water for irrigation purposes. The first report of the government experiment station on the plains has yet to be made. It is announced that one will be issued this spring. But there is no doubt as to the practical success of the experiments in these new kinds of farming. The crops that have been raised on the Cheyenne experiment farm need little supplementary explanation. They prove that there is no longer any "great American desert," and that the plains which were once dreaded by emigrants will soon become thickly populated with a prosperous farming community. SAVINGS OF THE SOLDIERS. Paymaster's Department Has $2,911, 737 of the Regular's Money. 737 of the Regulars' Money. The American soldier is not highly paid, yet he is a thrifty chap.

This is a respectable sum and represents about 12 per cent of the total pay of all the enlisted men for that period. Had every enlisted man made a deposit the average saving for the year would have been $27.50, but that is the least interesting feature of the system. The figures show that the soldier can deposit, under the law of 1872, only sums of $5 and over. As the pay is small, the total deposits for the year VIRGIN PRAIRIE, CHEVENNE. show that the saving habit is continuous with many enlisted men. These deposits bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent a year, but they cannot be withdrawn until the soldier receives his discharge. Last year there was repaid to soldiers the sum of $1,168,238; interest was also paid to the amount of $70,112. The number of men discharged is not given, but the amount repaid shows that their average saving must have been considerable. Since the enacting of the law of 1871, the total deposits have amounted to $27,789,553, and discharged soldiers have received $1,523,993 in interest on deposit. There remains on deposit with the paymaster general the sum c $2,911,787. VIRTUES IN VARIOUS GEMS. Superattention Is Connected With Almost Every Precious Stone. There is hardly a precious stone that has not some superattention connected with it.

The toperz was highly prized the ancients. Who believed that it had the power to heal wounds and enchantments and calmen frenzy. The sapphire was believed by the ancients to be emblematic of chastity. The pagans dedicated it to Apollo. The green emerald is held in high esteem by the Peruvians and the worshipers of Mantu still believe that the mines whence are extracted all emeralds are guarded by terrible genii and dragons. Perhaps more superstition attaches this gem to any other stone. On the contrary, the ancients considered that this fiery gem had the power of rendering its owner lovable and also of bestowing on him the gift of invisibility. BONES OF ABNORMAL SIZE. Death From a Rare Disease Recorded in Bellevue Hospital. One of the diseases known to physicians was the cause of the death of Ferdinand Schuckman, thirty-three years old, at Bellevue hospital, and leading surgeons who performed an autopsy said the case was the most revered year. The disease is known as acromegaly, and the physicians say the case was the first in this city. For four years Schuckman had been a patient in the hospital. He suffered greatly from nervousness and diabetes. Gradually the man's bones began to enlarge. Although he did not increase in weight to any great extent the bones of his face, thorax, pelvis, feet and shoulders increased to almost twice normal size. The first case recorded of the strange disease was in 1856, when Dr. Marie, a French specialist, discovered numerous notes on the disease and after consultation with the leading physicians of that country decided it was incurable.—New York Tribune.

Apparently every earthquake or volcanic eruption represents a grim joke on the part of Mother Nature, for it is usually those spots that have been favored with a wealth of the most exquisite scenery and delightful character that suffer. Pent forces of the inner earth do not vent themselves on the rock-bound coasts of Greenland, on the arid stretches of Western prairies, in the deserts of Sahara, in the snowy wastes of Canada. Instead they pick out the very garden spots of the world, places like Jamaica, California, the Bay of Naples, Martinique, St. Thomas and Valenciennes. Where there is tropical luxuriance that charms men away from the cooler and graver North; where a sense of peace and riot of color and luxuriant plant life, such as the Northern never sees in his own region, hold out their appeal; where the sheltering palm sways, the sky and sea alike are deepest blue, and the air never loses its palm and sleep restfulness, there is the country of the earthquake and of the volcano, and often of the hurricane, too. Jaama devastated. Kingston slipped into the sea, San Francisco overturned. Martinique blown to pieces by the eruption of Mt. Pelee, the idyllic Italian country near the Bay of Naples forever at the mercy of the insurrection, which are two years and years of militant activity is still ready at a moment's notice, to behold its molten lava, are all examples of how treacherous the most perfect arcada may be. In connection with the latest of these visitations, the Jamaica earthquake, it is notable that among those who had lived at Kingston, grief over the destruction of the lovely aspect of the country, was second only to pity expressed for the human suffering entailed by the catastrophe. CHARMING LANDSCAPE ON "A land of dreams" is a term frequently applied to this picturequeen island that rises mountain high out of the painted waters of the Caribbean, its jagged summits seeming to reach to the azure sky, while the coral and limestone feet are washed in the ocean. For splendor of tropical forests it could bear comparison with any country. Even to the height of 5,000 feet there is abundant plant life, and on the level the forests are one endless succession of wonders. Trees 200 feet tall, having at half their height branches which would be considered big trees farther north, divide the attention with a riot of many-hued flowers, of which the dazzling red poencite is the queen both for height and color. Every kind of palm, including the date, cocoanut and sago nud in the soft southern breeze and all the fruits of the tropics, the orange, wild and cultivated; grape fruit, banana, lemon, guava, tangerine and dozens of others are part of the great natural orchards. Matchless roads, so white that in the night they look like the moondisks sands of the seashore, cross the island in all directions. Seen again, once, American and British wonders say, is never to want to live anywhere else. Yet it was on the chief city of Jamaica —Kingston that the blighting hand of earthquake and grim death was laid in the last great cataclysm that aroused the pity of the world and forced an appeal to its generosity.

Wilbur Nesbit, the author, received recently a list of questions from a woman who was arranging a symposium for publication.

Ing point of this island, rich in legends of the days when the pirates of the Spanish main made it a rendezvous, and they came away extoling its marvelous charms. But one day Nature turned against the island. Perhaps the beauteous panorama became monotonous. The pent-up fires of M. Pelee were turned loose in May, 1902, and the entire town of St. Pierre destroyed. The total of dead numbered 30,000, making this the most terrible of all modern casualties, and in three other eruptions within the next four months, 1,000 more deaths were added to the horrible total. Thus was another garden spot turned into a channel island. The beautiful island of Krakatoa, in the Strait of Sunda, might have remained comparatively unknown to the remainder of the world, had not the fearful eruptions of 1883 drawn to it a hateful and tragis notoriety. The shock was heard for 1,400 miles, and the lights were seen 2,000 miles. An after result, the famous red sunsets, when for hours the sky was red to the point of blood just before night came, were results of this explosion that were noted in every part of the world. Krakatoa had not the many visitors that go to such places as the Bay of Naples, Martinique or Kingston, but such sailors as had stopped at its shores were enthusiastic over the glories of its landscape. The most terrific of hurricanes the new world ever sees are those which sweep across the West Indies and move along the Gulf of Mexico. Compared to these, such plows as those which devastated St. Louis are mild. The recent hurricane that did such damage along the gulf tors its way across thousands of miles of the most beautiful beautiful tropical landscape. The fates seemed to guide its course, as they pick out the places for earthquake and volcano. For the beauty of the Arcadias, a baneful price is paid. ROUNDINGS, VALE ROYAL, JA- CA. Mme.

Distrust all who would have any one placed before him or any other. Other responsibilities fall upon cause the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little-Rock, Ark. --- SATURDAY. MARCH 2. 1907. TOM WATSON SHOWS HIS IGNORANCE. Tom Watson, of Georgia, seems to be suffering from a fit of emotional insanity over "Negro Secret Societies." In his article he calls attention to the fact that in an address he delivered some time ago he warned the white folks that "they were allowing the Negroes to get the advantage of them in ORGANIZATION," and that the blacks were "gaining the immense advantage which a disciplined army has over a mob." Of course, if Mr. Watson's argument is true, it shows that the white Southier is a hopeless ignorantus in regard to the one subject of which he proudly and impudently claims to know all that there is to be known. The white Southern journals are always howling because some Northern man claims that he knows something about the Afro-American; but, behold, along comes Bro. Tom and writes his Southern brother a very Balam's ass, instead of being the expert he claims to be. Tom has a long array of grievances against the brother in black, among which is the fact that "Negro serv- 146 HON. GEORGE B. CORTELYOU Who Becomes Secretary of the Treasury Monday March 4. One of America's Most Noted Men. A Shining Example to the Youth of the Country. ants would not even promise to work for certain white ladies and certain white landowners." Tom is right about that; there are thousands of white ladies and white landowners who have no trouble in getting all the Afro-Americans they need, and there are certain others who cannot get any, simply because they are known to be cheats and frauds. The Afro-Americans have learned sense enough to boycott such beats; that is all there is in it. reports of rapes which have been published in her newspapers. In the in stance cited above, there is no doubt but that the villains were white men but, if so, no doubt but that the crime was suggested by the many tale of rape published in the newspapers. ANOTHER RACE PROBLEM. In the south almost one-half of the cotton mill operatives 10 to 14 years age are illiterate and about one-fourth of those 15 to 20 years of age. The Again, Mr. Watson says: "The man in which secret midnight meetings are being field throughout the Southern states means something; and in this he is undoubtedly right. But he does not know what it means and we do; so we shall essay to dispel a small percentage of his deplorable ignorance. It means that there are in every Southern state a strong organization of Free masons, another of Oddfellows and several other fraternities, which are doing a wonderful work, of which Tom never heard, and of which he is profoundly ignorant, in the way of attending to the wants of the sick and the burial of the dead of the race. In one state, one of these organizations is blended by the state in the sum of $20,600, per annum. These organizations have paid out to the distressed members of their order, almost one milion of dollars. Now the plain fact is that the sensible white people of the South are well acquainted with all the Afro-Americans who belong to the secret organizations and know that they are the very best men of the race; ergo, they know that Mr. Watson's care-lines, italics and cuts are the cheapest kind of yellow literature. Mr. Watson cannot prove that any such dirty couthotreat organization as Tom Dixon glorifies in his clansmen, ever existed among the Afro-Americans of the South, since the abolition of slavery. That infernal institution, which made devils of some of the masters, also brought forth a few such MEN among the slaves as Nat Turner and Denmark Veazey. A. SATURNALIA OF CRIME. Gordonsville, Va., has recently been the scene of a novel saturnalia of crime, of which the following are some details: It now appears that the men, who are seeking to evade the officers, perpetrated many hideous crimes and terrorized the women in several different homes. It leaked out to day that at least two of the young women were the victims of the assault. The houses entered were those of Rev. F. A. Meade, W. A. Blakey, W. W. Scott, librarian of the Supreme Court, and Edward Davenport. In the latter home the two Davenport sisters were sleeping together. One of them succumbed to the chloroform, but the other awakened, and the intruders made their escape. It has been shown that the assassination of President McKinley was, in large measure, due to the articles published in the yellow journals; and it is probable that the South will find that many such incidents will occur in her midst, as the sequestra of the inscessant BISHOP H. M. TURNER reports of raps which have been published in her newspapers. In the instance cited above, there is no doubt but that the villains were white men; but, if so, no doubt but that their crime was suggested by the many tales of rape published in the newspapers. ANOTHER RACE PROBLEM. In the south almost one-half of the cotton mill operatives 10 to 14 years of age are illiterate and about one-fourth of those 15 to 20 years of age. The smaller percentage in the older group of operatives would indicate that a good many of these children learn to read and write after they are 10 years of age. But the percentage of illiteracy in the older group is still very high, rendering it probable that large numbers of these children are destined to remain illiterate for the rest of their lives. It is known to be a fact that more than one-half of the Southern Afro-Americans can read and write; and, of course, it is a fair inference that approximately, about three-fourths of the children of the race are partially educated. And, furthermore, labor in the cotton-mills is destructive of the vitality of the children. Moreover, the south derives but little new blood from the process of immigration. Southern statesmen would do well to consider these facts; as they indicate a solution of the race problem which they seem not to contemplate. THE PRESIDENT RIGHT. In his speech at Harvard, President Roosevelt said: State rights should be preserved when they mean the people's rights, but not when they mean the people's wrongs; not, for instance, when they are invoked to prevent the abolition of child labor, or to break the force of the laws which prohibit the importation of contract labor to this country; in short, not when they stand for wrong or oppression of any kind or for national weakness or impotence at home or abroad. The laws of every Southern state stand for the oppression of the Afro-American. There is not a single state South in which the race is given a square deal. There are jim crow car laws, jim crow schools, jim crow libraries, etc., and nauseaism. It is a hopeful sign for the Afro-American people that the tendency is in the direction of a strong centralized government. CAUCASIAN SUPERIORITY. The Chicago Chronicle says: "That such specimens of the Caucasian race as San Francisco allows to govern it, specimens actually under immitent for crimes of which their fellow-citizens believe them to be at least morally guilty, should proclaim the inferiority of the Japanese race, may very well have added bitterness to what would in any case have been resented as an international insult." But the whole blame cannot be thrown upon the "specimens of the Caucasian race." It is the constant teaching of all of our great statesmen, savants and theologians, and the fundamental proposition of our law makers that a "specimen," who hare a white skin, is, lpso facto, superior to any individual of an off-color race, without any reference to the moral or intellectual qualifier of either individual. In this country. You may be a knave, or be a fool. But don't be black, remember the rule. BURBANK OUT OF PEN. Former Lieutenant Burbank has been released from the Federal penitentiary, at Leavenworth after having served there fifteen months. Burbank married a Filipino woman and a child was born, after which he deserted her, and was forced to pay her $50 per month for the support of the child. He says: "There are dozens of army officers who are living with these Filipino women." declared he, "but they are fortunate enough to escape the clutches of the blackmailers. I fell into their grasp." There seems to be little doubt of the fellow well deserving the punishment he suffered. LO. THE POOR INDIAN; An interesting report of the seizure of a passenger train on the Rock Island Railroad at Topeka, Kans., by a drunken Indian, and his running away with it—which wasn't even a little bit amusing to the passengers—concludes with the statement that "when Running Wolf was searched at the police station the two most interesting things found in his pockets were: A quart bottle of cheap, fiery whisky and a crumpled and faded diploma from an Indian training school." Of course that incident proves that all the money Indian to educate Lo, the poor Indian is money thrown away. But how about Lord Bacon and the Duke of Marlborough. HAS SOME GOOD TRAITS, EH? Pine Bluff, Ark., was recently visited by a great fire which destroyed eight entire blocks. The citizens at once adopted measures for the relief of the victims. The Little Rock Gazette mentions the following incident: "At a meeting of the committee chairmen yesterday, President W. N. Trulock stated that several hundred dollars had been contributed to the relief fund by Afro-American residents of this city. Every donation from them was received unsolicited. As far as is known not one Afro-American family lived in the burned district." After all that has been said, the Southern Afro-American seems to have some good traits, don't he. Mr. Tillman? LAWMAKERS DOING FINE. What our lawmakers so when they are assembled in legislative capacity is usually well known to whom it may concern. But what they are doing when not in the legislative halls is often not so well known. So THE APPEAL gives a few items concerning them, which ought to be of special interest. Some of those mentioned are state and some U. S. officials. Senator Butt is on the rockie, Representative Favrot is being tried for murder, Representative Goss for *blooding* Senator Burton is in the pen, Repensative Adams has just been expelled from his legislature for bribery, and etc., almost ad infinitum. THE JAPANESE PHYSICIAN. In the Hawaiian islands the protest against Japanese cheap labor has taken the form of a demand by the Caucasian physicians that Japanese doctors shall be forbidden to practice in the islands. It is not asserted that the Japanese physicians are not equal to their white bretherm in medical skill, but it is alleged that they do not speak the English language and consequently ought not to be permitted to take the examinations of the medical board. Neither do many Russian, Polish, Scandinavian and Spanish physicians speak the English language. Why not taboo them? One or two of the Southern governors have recommended the passage of a law, making attempted assault a capital crime; and the Illinois legislature has before it a bill of the same tenor. This at least shows that the Afro-American of the south is not the only brute, but that white men are as much addicted to sexual crime as he is said to be. Some. Cincinnati women are opposed to having the Afro-American regiments sent to the Philippines for fear of outrages upon the women of that race. We wonder if those women ever read of how the Alaskan women were treated by white settlers, as shown by official reports? Let Us Wax Together Like The "Green Bay Tree." Again mothers and fathers, I call your attention to this most beautiful and unique method which some of you have so faithfully and conscientiously done since my last article, and I take great joy in your marked success. This speaking of waxing together, has no reference to the Negro who combs dastardly crimes, or the ones who encourage him; but it should appeal to the men and women who have those self-sacrificing qualities in demons that tenacious courage which they intend to minded mothers and I thank mothers whose hair is white from many winters and whose knees tremble from old age, that we can gladly saw that scandal has not spurn its desky web around us, like the many clavable cases of other nationalities. We never strive to barter our daughters for large sums of money for forbears, the owners of which prove to be worthless. We have proven to be soldiers in war and in peace; we have helped to coerce armies and put the Indians to flight, who but a few years ago held undepleted sway, and gave this country more trouble than the whole Niger population, of eleven millions or more. Years past we tiled the "Sunny Belt" used to use the deserts to bloom, since first the army could guide the plow, and with our many disadvantages, have progressed wonderfully. History contains no record of any race of people, that has Abraham Lincoln issued a decree, since Abraham Lincoln issued a decree, known as the Emancipation Proclamation. We realize the great duty of paying tribute to the God who created us and that there is an intellectual mystery set above the grasp of the faculties which we hop to unravel, and a financial duty to our fellow men. We as a race, now boast of doctors, lawyers, inventors, business men and of other professions too numerous to mention; but, are the majority doing it now? No! We are asleep at the switch. Wake up! The fields of prosperity and the harvest of success are anxiously waiting for you to show your skill, and of a truth, you have no time to do more money, a few more banks. As many as $100,000 money, let every man, woman and child in cities, towns and villages deposit $1.00 in some home bank, making it payable to Booker T. Washington or any home representative, ask him to use it for our mutual benefit. I suggest Mr. Washington because his uninspired reputation is widely known, and he is a beacon light to the country, and an honor to his race. We must possess proposition without consulting him. For our home representatives, any mother would feel proud to know of her boy as a representative, advocate performer, telling his people to be more cautious, to limitating, bartering their money for gambling and drink. Especially the railroad men, cooks, waiters and porters, that number a million or more, who result in the result, which we wreck, robberies cease, and railroad magnates, whose generous confidence we so deeply appreciate, turn their thoughts to the "Negro problem:" may to the dog's mouth, we would be greats disappointed and consider ourselves much abused. Mothers and fathers, let these teachings be your theme, they have satisfied the brains of the wisest, and the hearts of the best, and when we accomplish these tiny efforts, hatred, prejudice and the press will cease to hires before us a sequester, and this "Land of the tree and the Home of the Brave" will always be a Mecca to your returning feet. Odell Graham. HAS SINGULAR LIBEL LAW. Australia Protects Its Citizens Who Have Small Pride of Ancestry. The libel law of Australia is the queerest in the world. He who is sued for libel there must not only prove that the accusations he published were true, but also that to publish them was for the public benefit. Elsewhere the truth of the accusation alone needs to be proved. An Australian sheep raiser explained this queer libel law at a wool sale. this queer libel law at a wool sale. "Australia was practically colonized by convicts," he said. "There is no use denying this. The colonizers of Australia were convicts in the main. The descendants of these convicts are now Australia's leading families, the richest, the most influential, the intelligent, the most respected. And yet, these excellent people were in the past at the mercy of every editor. Let them be squeable or dispute with some editor and the man would bring them into general ridicule and contempt by printing their ancestry, by showing that Sir John Smith's great-grandfather had been sent out for robbing an old woman of $7 or that Judge Brown's great-aunt, while employed as a servant girl, had tried to poison her master's son, with whom she was in love. "It is undeniably true that the best Australians have convict blood in their veins. The newspapers that they quarrelled with used to taunt them with their convict blood. Hence the present queer libel law, which protects them, for, of course, it can never be ignored. It is the grandmother of Judge So-and-So or the great uncle of Dr. Blank was a convict." BUTTONED UP HIS DOG. Better Protection Urged for Hunting Dogs at Night in Winter Camps. It is always a good plan to take some old blankets for the dogs on a winter camping trip, says a writer in the Travel Magazine. Most of them will allow you to cover them up, and it is much pleasanter to feel them sleeping comfortably by your feet than to know that they are shaking with the cold which cuts through their short hair like a knife. Every night for a week once I buttoned one of the best dogs that I ever hunted with into my coat, and after wisely watching the operation, he would tuck his nose contentedly inside and he away to the land of dreams, where rabbits are thicker and hunters better shots. The Fortune Tempted. A well known nobleman was actually engaged to Miss Couts, but on her challenging him one day, whether it was her personality or her great fortune which appealed to him, he frankly acknowledged that although he was much attached to her, her vast property had been his special inducement in betrothering himself. Her reply was characteristic. "Let us then remain the best of friends instead of being the poorest of lovers." Did You Ever? "Excuse me just a minute," said the Old Codger, in his rasping way, interrupting the discussion which was occupying that particular session of the Sit and Argue club. "I don't know anything of consequence about the subject, but I'd like to ask, before I forget it, a question that I laid awake quite a spell last night thinking about: Did any of you see a reformer who was real fat?"—Puck.

Odell of New York was coming up for a renomination at the convention in Saratoga, there was a plan to put a man on the ticket with him for lieutenant governor to whom Odell objected strongly. The governor's father, 88 years old, a deacon in the church, and very strict in religious matters, was in Saratoga. There was a conference at one of the hotel cottages that lasted until late in the morning. The other leaders were trying to force Odell to take the obvious man. About 2 o'clock Odell's father, who had heard what was going on, stalked angrily over to the cottage and rapped on the door. "Well?" said Platt, sharply. "I want to see my son," demanded Odell. The governor came to the door. "What is it, father?" he asked. "Ben," the deacon, "tell them to go to ———" "Yes, father," replied the governor, obediently, and he went back and did just that. "My furs are like those!" exclaimed little Louise, while walking through the store. "Why," exclaimed her mother, "you have no furs of any kind." have no furs or am "Yes, I have," protested the child, "and they are lined with kittens, too." Postoffice Department Saved Thousands at Expense of the Treasury. Some years ago the treasury department desired to transport $25,000,000 in gold from the subtreasury in San Francisco to the subtreasury in New York. The way they did it was simple. They sent a treasury postal frank to the postmaster at San Francisco, told him to do it to the $250,000,000 gold and deliver it to New York. This that fortunate official under the law was obliged to do. No further effort or worry on the part of the treasury department was necessary. Incredible as it may seem, the postmaster at San Francisco carted $25,000,000 in gold under armed guard to the Southern Pacific railway station. There it was loaded on a special train, each car of which was equipped with guards heavily armed. This train was then sent across the continent by a special train, concerned with issue and time seduously concealed from the newspapers in order to avoid the danger of an attack from highwaymen. After a certain number of days this train arrived at Jersey City. The boxes containing the $25,000,000 in gold were taken across on the ferries and New Yorkers were mystified by the extraordinary spectacle of many vehicles loaded with boxes upon which were guarded guards with rifles and a crossbow. All was ended at the subterranean where the postoffice department was released from the custody of the coin by the receipt of the treasury department. The little bit of treasury transportation cost the postoffice department many thousands of dollars and cost the treasury department nothing at all. A Jacobs Story. W. W. Jacobs, the famous humorist, "I went abroad last summer," he said, "to try and get Mr. Jacobs to write for me; but I found that he had all he could do for six or seven years to come. "He is a quiet, modest chap. When I praised his wonderful skill in the writing of short stories, he said that it was only their surprises that made him take. Then, to illustrate what he meant, he told me a story wherein the surprises came fast and furious. "He said that a lawyer, defending a man accused of house breaking, spoke like this: "Your honor, I submit that my client did not break into the house at all. He found the parlor window open and merely inserted his arm and removed a few trifling articles. Now, my all-seeing eye himself, and I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed only by one of his limbs." "That argument," said the judge, "is very well put. Following it logically, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. He can accompany it or not as he chooses." "The defendant smiled with his lips, and he screwed his cork arm, and, leaving it in the dock, walked out." Painting on Metal Carl Lunde, a Norwegian artist, has made himself famous by painting on metal, an art even the Japanese have failed in, great as they are as metal workers. Lunde decorates ordinary tin with characteristic designs in colors and illuminates an ordinary tray or plate that would otherwise be cheaply japaned. The method is his secret and only one of many clevernesses he employs to render utility artistic and decorative. At the Seashore. The Ohio man said his friend, the Kentucky colonel, met on the beach. Kentucky colonel 'net on the beach. "Aren't you going to take a plunge in the surf this morning, colonel?" queried the Ohio man. "Nevah again for me, sah," replied the Kentuckian. "I tried it yesterday mawning, and accidentally swallowed neatly a quart of wah, sah." Thought Required "People talk about the weather because they don't like to think," remarked the man who makes a study of conversation. "Not in this climate," answered the contradictory person. "You've got to come on it here. The weather's liable to change while you are talking about it." Good as She Could Get. The new servant had presented her references, and the mistress read them over with a doubtful eye. "I am not quite satisfied with your references, Jane," she said. "Naymer am I, mum," responded the stalwart maid, "but they're the best I could get." "Don't you be glad when the election is over?" queried a gent passenger on a street car. "Not on your life," answered his companion. Since the campaign opened neither Carrie Nation, Elijah Dowte or Vesuvius has been heard from." Too Well Known Runge (at the bar with a friend)—I have just remembered that I haven't a cent on me. Schroeder that doesn't matter. You're well known here, aren't you? Runge—Unfortunately, yes. Health and Money Lost. "Is it true that Waldford died poor?" "Yes. You see, he lost his health chasing after fortune, and then lost his fortune chasing after health." Calling Her On! "Didn't I hear him ask if you I could not be persuaded to sing?" asked Mrs. Moved. "Yes; he moved it in between 'persuaded' and 'to.'" The Usual Thing. "I hear that the baron wants to get a divorce from his wealthy wife." "Yes, he was only temporarily embarrassed when he married her."

In a recent report of the geological survey of India there is an interesting account of the Panna diamond fields of Central India. Historically this country is believed to be the original home of the diamond, and from them it is supposed that the famous Kohinoor was extracted some three and a half centuries ago, the earliest diamonds dating some twenty-five years previously. Of late years India has quite retired from the field as a precious stone producer to any extent or value, but from the account given it should be worth the while of a small syndicate to take up these diamonds and work stones found compare with the yield them systematically, though it is said that neither in luster nor price do the of the South African fields. The methods, however, now in vogue mean merely superficial treatment, following the lines which have been in vogue for centuries, with the probable result that the strata containing the most valuable deposits of stones are not reached. From a geological point of view there are said to be diamond-bearing conglomerates over several areas which would admit of deep shaft sinking and systematic mining under competent control being carried on profitably. CLAWHAMMER IS A RELIC. Peculiarities of the Dress Coat All Once Had a Meaning. The clawhammer, or evening coat, has many oddities of cut. These oddities were once essentials. There was, in fact, a time when every idiocy of the clawhammer served some useful purpose. The cutaway front of the coat, for instance, was originally cut away so that the wearer when on horseback would not be incomposed. The two buttons on the back were for fastening up the tails on tof harm's way, each tail having in the past a buttonhole at its end. The sleeves, with their false cuffs, are reflexes of the days when sleeves were always turned back, and therefore were always made with cuffs that unbottoned. The collar with its wide notches, is a survival of the old collar that was notched in order that its wearer could turn it up conveniently in cold or stormy weather. The dress coat, in a word, is a patchwork of relics once essential, but now of no use on earth. No Room. An Irishman was recently traveling in a train accompanied by a minister, when two stout ladies entered the compartment. They placed themselves one on each side of Pat, who was, of course, much crushed. The minister, on seeing him so placed, said: "Are you sure you are comfortable, Pat?" To this question Pat quickly replied: "Sure, your honor. I haven't much room to grumble." Rare Complaint. "Isn't it strange," asks the first man, "that so many men, after years of ruthless commercial practices, piracies one might almost say, after they have climbed to the pinnacle of success, 'should have softening of the brain?' "It would be stranger yet, infinitely stranger," replies the man with the corrugated blow, "if any of them ever had softening of the heart."—Puck. A Peripatetic Editor. . T.
