SUBSCRIBE For Me if you admire my Grit. By F. L. JELTZ Hew away and turn the rascais out. President Roosvelt will not ask for a second term we are sure from the way his party is fighting him. This is an awful cold world when you have sympathizers. The man that boasts all the time of his great success is merely a humbug. Nick Chiles has figured most any old place. The other day at Medicine Lodge he and old man Nation were prominent actors. We understand from street gossips at this writing that there will be no decision in the Hughes and Parker contest as you see Judge Ellis is still quite ill at this writing. Chief Stahl don't mean to have any hog slapping in Topeka. He is after some of the fellows who have permits. Now that the LEDGER has increased its columns to number 7, what will some of the big mouths say about it and the PLAINDEALER now poor thing. Congressman Miller, and "dear Mister" Long will catch all kinds of h-ll when the time comes. Glad to see them appreciate the fun. Christmas is just over the tence and we are still bursted who will send in a few sheckles to steer us on our onward course(?) don't all speak at once. We have seen so many fools on our trips in the south, we thought they all lived in Kansas but were badly mistaken and we were glad to return to Kansas land. There is a big "cuckoo" in national circles when ever a colored man speaks to this "czar" about a job he says take the Civil Service then come and see me. This is the most damnable farce that ever graced an American people. The drug stores in Topeka generally are of the opinion that they can not make a cent without selling whiskey, perhaps Gunther, the convicted apostle wish he had not seen it that way, We have not heard lately anything about third district candidates. Every day or two they have a new one sprung. Such fellows as Dick Blue, Cy Leland and in fact just such fellows as them that Roosevelt is turning down. The old gang is sure to go, they have been at pie counter so long tilt they think they own the government. There is an economical father in town who proposed to saw wood and save. Said father paid a dollar for his saw, lost a day from business and hired a small boy to carry the wood down cellar. The whole job could have been done for eight bits, but his wife would have lost a week's laughter. Ex. Some children can respect their fathers if they don't see too much of them. President Roosevelt's appointment of Democrats down south seems to be gaining root. Nearly every day or so some Negro is still being lynched, burnt or discriminated. Surely Roosevelt is a strange appearing President. To the victors belong the spoils, and as he does not regard the victors hence he will find lots of spoilmen. Its nice to have the Atlanta Constitution for him. --- The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL. Apropos the Kings trip to London from the north the other day I have it from one of the officials that superstition is not unknown in the royal circle The travelers go out of the tran at Stirling to have their dinner and when they were all seated it was discovered that there were t hirteen people at the table. "I am sorry my dear fellow, said the King, addressing one of his equerries, but I fear you will have to go to another table. shall never be able to eat my dinner in comfort unless we have another member of the party to make the fourteenth." Just then a stationmaster, heavy bulky stodgy gentleman, stood in the door, hat in hand. A smile lighted up the face of the sovereign as he cried: "I have it, I shall ask the stationmaster to make the number fourteen." And he did, much to the astonishment of the frightened official who was forth with ordered to sit down and dine at the royal table You may take it as a certainty that there is a humble Scotch family which will forever cherish the memory of the day when one of its members was asked to dine with King Edward. That is an incident in the history of the family which can never fade from memory. Ex. Many deserving men fail in business because they allow themselves to get under bad management. In some way this year has been a good year. The political boss is smaller than lest. No good housewife is ever satisfied with her cook till she has discharged her seven or eight times. The are still men who are loved for the enemies they have been fortunate enough to make. How many women take on grand airs with youthful admirers. In one respect the Sultan may be envied. Every time he wants to see a naval parade all he need do is to decline to pay a bill. How many insist upon discussing an order issued by one in authority? How many men find it impossible to talk sensibly to young girls How many women boast of their ability successfully to manage men? Some people are such pessimists that they calculate the price of next summer's ice and add it to this winter's coal bill. How often men repeat mistakes while sadly aware of consequences? How difficult it is to refuse a pretty girl a favor, even if it does involve a sacrifice? If Santa Claus had to go to bargain counters for his Xmas presents his merry smile would soon be in need of repairs. You don't have to fall out of love as swiftly as out of a baitoon to be further when you land. The average man who has accepted acts a week later about as when he has caught a bad cold. Occasionally you lend a man money and he astonishes you by returning it, once in a long while he will make you thihk you have lost your reason by appearing grateful. Ex. TOPEKA, KANSAS, DECEMBER., 7 1901. Birmingham Species Being Taught by the Nat onal Fish Commission. C. B. Hudson, the artist, here with the fish commission from Washington, is limning on academy board some most charming portraits. His models, like Trilly, pose for the altogether. He paints the nude and leaves out the drapery. His subjects are the many-hued specimens from the piscatorial world, captured by patient natives, whose knowledge of the haunts of the fliny tribe has made their services indispensable to the success of the mission of the learned gentlemen from Washington and Stanford University. These specimens are not mackerel or mullet, nor are they hallibut or squid. They are bright butterfly colored, cute little fellows, picked up by experts in shady holes outside the reef. It would seem a simple matter to secure a basketful of brilliant colored fish at the market, pick out the best specimens and then fill in the colors upon the penciled design. But Hudson doesn't work that way. He says all dead fish are faded. He says furthermore that the color propositions in a tropical fish of paradise is a psychological, not a physical attribute. Hudson's studio is an interesting den. It is not in an attic nor under a eucalyptus tree. He is perched on a bench at the other end of the pier, seaward from the Moana hotel. He has before him a glass aquarium full of water. Here he poses his models. They are shy as the most innocent perfection that ever exposed her charms to the eye of master artist for the first time. They seillate color from quivering fin; evanescent tints radiate from filmy tails. One of these piscatorial gems from the deeper waters of Hawaii looked like it might have been made by a jewelsmith in some dark, unfathomed cave, where jewels have eyes that see and hearts that beat and become afraid. This bright particular jewel had sides of shimmering gold dotted with tiny stars of deepest, purest blue. He would cavort about in his little glass jail, to the despair of the artist who watched for every changing gleam of color like a cat laying for a mouse. "You know, these tropical little pearocks of the ocean change color at will!" said Hudson, laying down his brush and turning naturalist. "I can produce a variation of colors in that restless scamp equal to that shown by the fire dancer at the circus. I will first show how a little 6-inch fish fights or attempts to scare away an enemy by a flashing of starling colors." So saying Hudson rubbed the corner of the glass tank with his hand, producing light variations. Scenting danger, Mr. fish stiffened his fin, and, so far as color goes, altered his appearance to that of a hideous Chinese dragon. Dark purple spots altered with fiery yellow. Blood red flanks and gills made the effort of the fish to look bad quite as comical as a clever 4-year-old assuming the gall of a Bowyer tough. "Now, see how he acts when afraid," said the artist, and he plunged a pine stick into the water, tapping the little beauty on the nose. "See, he has quit his bluff and is a turncoat." The purple changed to a hand hue. The red became mother of pearl, and the yellow dimmed into dirty silver. "Since he failed to bluff his enemy, he seeks to clude him by becoming invisible." And the lusterless fish, to bear out the veracity of his portrait painter, tried to bury himself in the two inches of sand upon the bottom of his prison. This explains the psychological side of the colored fish. But, after all, it is purely physiological. The color material is deposited in glands, which are contracted or expanded as the fish may choose. When he thinks he can bluff an enemy he squeezes the little sacks that hold his bluffing colors, sending the green, red and yellow spraying through his cuticle. When the bluff falls he withdraws the pyrotechnic hues to his color bags, and, as near like a corpse as possible, he plunges to a temporary grave in the sand. Mr. Hudson finds it very difficult to keep a sensitive fish on one mood long enough to transfer its especial mood to the canvas. He finishes about one a week. He says there is no creature in nature that gives such astonishing combinations of color as the bottom fishes of the tropics. Nearly all bottom sea fishes have the power of changing color at will. They furnish colors which often tax an artist's color materials to reproduce. The pure blue, the perfect yellow and the vermilion shades are the most difficult to attain. The picture painted by Mr. Hudson will belong to the United States fish commission, and will be printed in colors in the published report of the Hawaiian expedition. A preliminary report of the expedition will be made to congress early in the coming session, with the hope of arousing interest to a degree that will secure a large appropriation for prosecuting the study of Hawaiian fishes on a much larger scale. The work of the expedition so far has resulted in the discovery of about thirty new varieties, many of which are good for food.

The Man Who Has Played Havoc in the Copper Market. Here are the facts in one of the most extraordinary stories that ever came out of Wall street—the story of "Casey's Copper War." Because he lost his $3,000-a-year position in the United States Metals Selling company, Henry L. Casey began a war which has already cost the copper interests of this and other entries not far form $150,000,000. I lighting single-handed, with neither capital nor influence to back him, Casey has succeeded in hammering the stock of the Amalgamated Copper company from 125 down to 88, involving a loss to the company of $57,197,190; in causing a decline of at least $50,000,000 in the shares' value of other copper mining companies; in stirring up turmoil in Wall street; in making the London market rumble ominously; in precipitating a panic on the Paris bourse; in wrecking a big France banking house, and in disturbing financial circles all over the world. To regain his $3,000-a-year position or have a truce of some kind declared, Casey will continue to wage his war relentlessly, even though it should result in a wider spread of financial havoc and entail the loss of another $150,-000,000. It is the first time in the history of Wall street that a "nobody in the financial world," as Casey calls himself, has been known to throw down the gauntlet to corporations backed by millions, and it there are those who fervently hope that no more Caseys will arise on the copper horizon. To look at Casey one would take him for a fighter. Short and stout in build, with a round, jovial face and eyes that sparkle at the merest suggestion of humor, he looks like an easy-going, fun-loving salesman of 40 years, quite content with the world and himself. But once aroused he is an altogether different Casey. Down in the street they say he develops fighting qualities almost equivalent to genius. When he left the office of the company last August Casey told the officers frankly that there would be "something doing," and the events of the past month certainly stamp Casey as a man who keeps his word. The only weapon Casey has thus far employed is his war in a circular which he sent to prospective customers when he opened a metal banker office early in September. The circular ran something like this: "Having left the office of my former employers, I am now conducting a brokerage business at — street, and trust that you will honor me with your orders. The United States Metals Selling company, in serving my relations with them, informed me that my discharge was necessitated by economy, which you will doubtless appreciate when I tell you that the company has now on hand 36,000,000 pounds of copper." To the layman the circular was an innocent enough looking document, but it turned the copper market topsy-turvy. The information that the company had 38,000,000 pounds of copper in stock—a quarter of the yearly production—came like a thunderclap to the copper trade. Men interested in copper foresaw a possible panic resulting from so unprecedented a supply with a decreasing demand. Investors and speculators throw their copper securites on the market and the crash came. Even Casey himself was astonished at the effect of the first gun he discharged. He admitted this to a reporter who talked with him in his office and to whom he unfolded the history of the war. "When I left the United States Metals company last August," he said, "I told them there would be something doing. They only laughed and said: 'You can't do any harm, Casey; you're easy.' Go down and ask them if they think Casey's easy now. "I am a peace-loving, law-abiding citizen. I dislike fighting, but when I fight I make the first blow so effective that my adversary can't come back. I knew every one would call me a sorehead, and I frankly admit that I never would have started this war if I had not been discharged from the company. I had worked there, or in an allied firm, for fourteen years, and I thought that to turn me out was hardly just. It was treading on Casey's toes, and anyone who treads on Casey's toes purposely must look out. "After I left I told my friends that I was going to fight. 'Fight!' they explained, 'Why, Casey, how can you fight? You've no money and the copper trust has millions.' But that didn't fease Casey. The trust, I knew, had millions, and I also knew that in fighting the Amalgamated Copper company, of which the United States Metals Selling company is a sort of sales agent, I had to fight also the Standard Oil company. But, as head salesman of the United States Metals Selling company, I possessed a little valuable information about the copper trade, and then, I figured that while the trust had their millions they did not have all the brains in the world. So I said nothing, and bided my time. "I knew that the company had 36,000,000 pounds of copper on hand. I also know that large quantities of copper had been imported from Europe, none of OCCASION Makes it neccessary for you to stand by Me. VOL 9 NO. 40. which had been sold, and which was brought over to create the impression that there was a great demand for it in this country. Instead, the demand was steadily decreasing. The installation of the trolley systems, which a year ago took all the copper wire that could be turned out, had about been completed. Factories which a year ago were working night and day had early in September scarely enough business to keep them busy during the day, and the manufacturers of copper wire were buying from hand to mouth. "Upon such conditions, which were pretty generally known in copper circles, I was certain that if I could get before the public the fact that the Selling company had 36,000,000 pounds of the metal on its hands something would drop. I hit upon the circular plan as a polite and effective medium of conveying the information. "I had several thousand circular printed and distributed them all over the world. Moreover, I timed the mailing of them so that they would be received in London, Paris, Berlin, Russia Japan, Australia, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, New York and all the big cities of this country on the same morning. "There was no hitch in the execution of the plan. On the morning of September 6 the whole world knew that there were thirty-six million pounds of copper lying idle in the storage places of the United States, and what happened every one knows. I had no idea that the result would be so appalling as it was—but when Casey fights, he fights hard. "Only Casey the salesman could have done it. Casey the banker, Casey the merchant, Casey the doctor, Casey the lawyer might have issued millions of circulars only to have had them tossed into the trash basket. But Casey, formerly head salesman for the United States Metals Selling company, the copper world realized, knew what he was talking about, and it stood agast. "Even at that time the market might have recovered had the issuance of my circular not been followed by the passing of the copper dividend. Whether or not Casey's circular had anything to do with that is immaterial; if it didn't, it shows that Casey spoke the truth. "What, are my future plans? That's something I haven't decided on yet. I have to move very slowly and cautiously. It's no easy thing to buck the copper and Standard Oil trusts, and a single mistake on my part would finish me. "But of one thing that may be certain—the fight isn't over yet. I still have plenty of ammunition in stock, almost as much as the trust has idle copper, and it will be used whenever occasion presents." "I wish to show the public that it is possible for a single man, without money or influence, to stand up and fight the trusts successfully—to fight them so hard that they will acknowledge defeat. To accomplish this I am staking everything I have in the world." Mr. Casey is a New Orleans man, though he left there early in life to come to this city. He engaged first in the railroad business, after which he went into copper. He lives in a modest little home in Brooklyn with his wife and three children. He believes that the only way the copper market can be relieved of the overstocked condition which he asserts exists is to reduce the price of copper from between 16 and 17 cents a pound to 13 cents a pound. "If that is done," he said, "people who could not otherwise afford to do so will buy freely, and thus the supply and demand will be equalized." "Did you make anything out of the copper crash?" asked the reporter, as he was leaving Mr. Casey's office. "Not a penny," was the prompt and firm reply.—New York World. "About once a month for the last ten years some original investigator makes the discovery that there is no monument! In Trinity cemetery to mark the grave of Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat, and promptly writes an indignant letter to his paper about it." says the New York Sun. "For more than eighty years the remains of Fulton have rested in the Livingston vault in Trinity cemetery. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has recently had plans drawn for a Robert Fulton monument which will stand on the south side of Trinity church, near Recor street." This story is told of Mark Twain: When he lived in Buffalo he made the acquaintance of some neighbors under peculiar circumstances. Emerging from his house one morning, he saw something which made him run across the street and remark to the people who were gathered on the veranda: "My name is Clemens; my wife and I have been intending to call on you and make your acquaintance. We owe you an apology for not doing it before now. I beg your pardon for intruding on you in this informal manner, and at this tip of day, but your house is on fire."

I years ago, you right can be to sing, and this kept on getting his ear entirely. **Gentlemen...** Being entirely cured of deniness, thanks to your treatment, I will now give you a full history of my case, to be used at your discretion. About five years ago my right car began to sing, and this kept on getting worse, until I met my doctor. I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without any success, consulted a number of physicians, among others, the most eminent car specialist of this city, who told me that the infection was caused by a bacterial infection, that the infection would then cease, but the fear in the affected car would be lost forever. I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered wine. Afterward used it only a few days according to your directions and today, your heart is hearing that your car has been entirely restored. I thank you and heartily and beg to remain. Very truly yours.
