Negroes May Eat In Dining Cars EIGHTH YEAR Negroes M In D Says Federal C Just Give Equal you don't have to eat ginger snaps on monkey food, while white passens eat sirloin steak, with ox-tail soup hot rolls with butter o nthe side, you can go him one better by ord ing the waiter to bring you roast, canvas-back duck, with mock le soup, strawberry shortcake with be or champagne on the side, says George Trieber, in substance, in the case Mrs. W. H. Haley vs. the Iron Mountain Railway Company, for being fed privileges of eating a meal in dining-car of one of the company's as while she was a passenger be en St. Louis and Little Rock. the plaintiff was born in Little Rock lived here a number of years and went to Chicago and Boston, she was educated. The plaintiff said that she purchased a first passenger ticket from St. Louis little Rock on August 14, last, and she entered the dining-car and entered at a table by one of the hers. She alleged that the courier came to her and told her that could not remain in the car. She said that she offered to pay in advance for anything she might get, but she was ejected from the car andelled to go without anything to until she reached Little Rock, and result she was ill for several days. The evidence showed that the Negro man was not permitted to partake of meal in the dining-car. Judge Treiber, in a part of his institutions to the jury, stated that a road company, a carrier of passengers required by law to provide all passengers, regardless of race or with substantially equal accommodations. It cannot refuse a person paid for a first-class ticket, class accommodations, such as provided for other passengers, on account of such passenger's race or When a railway company, for purpose of avoiding long stops at stations, provides dining cars on trains where the passengers may meals by purchase, and no stops made at stations for that purpose, absolute refusal to permit a passenger have a meal in such a car for no reason than that of race or color, not be a compliance with the oblining upon the railway com- --- pany to grant to all its passengers substantially equal accommodations. How Trouble May Be Avoided. But there is another duty due from a railway company to its passengers, Judge Trieber stated, and that is to protect each and every one of them, insofar as lies in its power, from injury to life or person, and if it has reasonable cause to believe that certain things might result in injury to some of its passengers, it is its duty to do all in its power by proper regulations to prevent it, otherwise it would be liable for injuries sustained by its passengers. In view of the race feeling known to exist in the section of country over which plaintiff was a passenger from St. Louis to Little Rock, said Judge Trieber, it is not only the right, but the duty of railway companies, by reasonable rules and regulations, to so arrange the accommodations for their passengers as to prevent race conflicts, which may result in damage to property and injury to persons, or even loss of life to some of the passengers. But the accommodations must be substantially equal for the passengers of either race. A regulation whereby seats at the table in a dining car are reserved for white passengers exclusively between the hours of 12 m. and 1:30 p. m., and for Negro passengers after 1:30 p. m., would be a reasonable regulation in view of the conditions prevailing, and a railway company would not be liable in damage for the enforcement of such a regulation, executed by its conductor in a proper and gentlemanly manner. The jury brought in a verdict for the plaintiff for $12.50, after remaining out about a half hour. The costs in the case, which amount to about $50, will have to be paid by the plaintiff, the rule in the United States Court being that where the judgment is for less than $500 the costs are taxed against the plaintiff. Mrs. Haley is now the heroine of her race and is being lionized on every hand. The case has attracted widespread attention among the colored people, as heretofore they have had to have cold unches prepared when starting on long journeys. Dr. Booker T. Washington under caption of "Three Kinds of Negro Banks," says there are thirty-one banks in the United States, in healthy condition, run by Afro-Americans. They are in the following states: Twelve in Mississippi; 8 in Virginia; 4 in Georgia; 2 each in Tennessee, Arkansas and Indian Territory and one each in Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina. As President of the National Negro Business League he speaks authoritatively. Sergeant Logan of the Ninth Cavalry made the best individual score in the four days' rifle competition of the regular army of the Northern Division which ended at Ft. Sheridan, August 14. Logan's record was 779 out of a possible 1000 points. ORGANIZATION. The disbanding of the Negro troops is simply another warning to the Negro that he needs a protective association. The various National Organizations, the Business League, the Afro-American Council and the Niagara Movement are all well in their way, but they do not for several well known reasons reach the ever recurring need of Negro protection. What has become of the plan of Grand Master, J. McHenry Jones? We want something and we want it now. Any one single white man from anywhere on earth has more protection in this country than the Negro citizen. Richmond Herald. ROOSEVELT'S SON. A few days or weeks ago President Roosevelt's son was in a Boston court as a witness against one of his school chums. When put upon the stand he refused flatly to give any evidence that would incriminate his school mate. But the strenuous Teddy neither disowned him nor chastised his boy for failure to turn up a comrade. But his son was not a Negro. Teddy can do some strange things to love Negroes as he professes to—N. Y. Sun. In order to reach the alleged guilty I will punish even those I know to be innocent, says Roosevelt the Just (?

Far from it. Indeed Mapes was one of the citizens of the semi-world against whom the very strongest anathema of the better classes were directed. Nor was Mapes on cordial terms with the police. In fact he would go to some considerable palms to avoid social intercourse with the guardians of the law. And by the same token the blue-coats would move rather faster than usual to enjoy the pleasure of Mapes' society. But then Bill had an innate prejudice against blue-coats and brass-buttons and stars and clubs and all that sort of thing. Perhaps he was not wholly responsible because the prejudice may have been inherited. It is to be recalled that his father "Plug" Mapes was constitutionally opposed to the police before his unhappy taking-off at the end of a rope in a quiet jail-fair on one memorable day after the society of the blue-coats had been thrust upon him in a most shameless manner. It is also a matter of history that the gentlemanly wearers of the blue gave a great-sigh of relief upon this occasion and congratulated themselves openly and often until some months later when it was borne to their intelligence that young Bill Mapes had succeeded to his respected sire's estate and was following, in no unworthy manner, in the paternal footsteps. From all of which it may be deduced that Bill Mapes lived and breathed and had his being without the law of the land and that he would not have been a welcome visitor at your home at the witching hour of midnight. Yes, gentle reader, you have guessed right; Bill Mapes was a burglar, a thief, a crook and earned his bread by appropriating the product of the sweat of the other fellow's brow. And yet Mapes was not a bad sight to look upon. He was a well-built, sturdy, young fellow handling his splendid strength with marked grace of action. His features were rather well-formed and his eyes clear and blue and laughing. He was not a fearsome object to look upon—excepting when desperate or angry, and then he was a thunderbolt of action and of passion. It was inevitable, of course, that Mapes should occasionally be the guest of the police, but despite all their most energetic invitations he had successfully maintained his modesty and evaded any considerable strain upon their hospitality. Upon his every appearance in the police court, however, there had appeared also a most charming feminine vision—a delicate, modest, brown-eyed girl whose beauty won all hearts and whose tears moved the sternest police justice to sympathy. She was a mystery to the police court and inspired more interest than the prisoner in whom she seemed to have such deep interest, so to concern. After full and free discussion it was duly decided that she was a settlement worker or something or other of that sort who was grieved over Bill Mapes' soul and was trying to save him. And while they berated him as a dog they all bowed before the dainty brown-eyed divinity. Now it must be evident to the reader at this point that Bill Mapes was not an idealist, nor a leading citizen, nor a pillar of society, nor anything of that sort, but this simple tale is written to show that every fellow has his own standards and his own ideals. One soft summer evening Mapes appeared at "Brown's Triangle," a rather bad place in a very bad neighborhood—a spot which policemen avoid- New York Waiter Shocked by Mixtures of Patrons. "There are some queer tastes seen by waiters. You know the predilection of schoolgirls for cake and pickles. Well, I have seen that beaten often," said a Broadway waiter. "I've got a customer who puts sugar ed when on a lonesome beat and a section most prodigiously berated by the Anti-Crime society. He did not enter the flat-iron shaped saloon but going into one of the darkened streets, emitted a shrill whistle. Presently a curtain upstairs was cautiously pulled and a face peered forth. Upon a further signal the curtain dropped and a moment later a street-door opened and Bill faced his brown-eyed divinity of the police court. Lo and behold, far from being a settlement-worker she was only the daughter of Ike Brown, the keeper of the notorious "Brown's Triangle" where, according to the police, more robberies had been planned than in any other spot in the city. "Howdy, Nan," said Mapes in a voice somewhat strained with embarrassment and taking the girl's extended hands awkwardly. "Nice evenin," "I didn't expect you," exclaimed the girl beaming upon him with the glorious love-light, which, after all, is all there is in life. "Naw, but I'm here," he responded, comfortably. There were some moments of silence during which Bill's reaching paw accumulated the slender hand of the girl. A busy policeman wandered by and Bill was scarcely quicker than the girl to shrink into the shadows. "D—— him, I'll get his job," grumbled Mapes. "If you don't dad will," replied the girl. "I got his number—4714. I know him." "Say, Nan, what de' y' say to get married, buyin' a house and settlin' down?" This very bravely said but in a voice betraying love, mystery and surrender. Nan looked him over most shrewdly. "What d'ye mean, Bill?" she asked, good-naturedly. "Nan," he said, leaning toward her and placing his arms half way around her "I've got the game beat. Come on and let's live like nine-time sports." "How'd ye do it, Bill?" she asked, quietly. "Look here, gal," he replied, soberly but passionately, "I've been tryin' to get things right for you and me—but it's been hard. Now last night I happened onto a most exclusive, party of gents—the real kind. I wasn't exactly invited, you know—but just happened in through the window. Gee, but de sparklers der was in the cuffs on de tables and de shirts in de closet." "Did ye get 'em?" asked the girl leaning forward eagerly. "Naw," replied Mapes leaning back comfortably. "I heed somethin' dat's wort more'n all the sparklers I ever seen." "Yes," encouraged the girl. Mapes settled himself comfortably in the doorway. "Well," he said with provoking deliberation, "there was a couple of swells talkin' right in front of me before I broke past de curtains." "Well?" encouraged the girl with shining eyes. "Well," responded Mapes. "I had to quit and I had to listen. Gee, but it was fine listenin'." "Well?" interjected the girl. Well! interjected the girl. "Well," responded Mapes, "it was old Strausling, de president of the Cincinnati Avenue bank and Knute Augessen, de swell young teller—an day was talkin' brack tacks for sure." "Well?" was all the girl said. "Well," responded the man with a show of irritability, "it's just dis way. These wise guys are goin' to bust de bank day after to-morrow an' get away with $200,000 or $300,000. I hearn all about it." "What did you do?" asked the girl. "What did I do?" he replied, scorn- on white potatoes. Sugar on tomatoes and canteelope is pretty bad; but sugar on potatoes—ugh! "A lady customer, a corset maker, melts a lump of butter in her cup of tea. Could you go that? "A pugilist puts vinegar on all his meats and vegetables—vinegar on everything except his dessert. This is fully. "I sneaked away. There's a bigger game in this dan to pinch a few hundreds, I guess," and Mapes laughed scornfully. "If I don't get our house and lot and all de trimmins and a few thousand in de bank on de side, on dis deal—well, I ain't Bill Mapes—dat's all." There was a long silence. "Bill," the girl said, presently in a most gentle voice, "aln't that the bank that all the people on the avenue have their savings?" "Of course," replied Bill. "And they are all going to lose their savings," pursued the girl. Bill scratched his head savagely. "I suppose so," he said. "There's old Shupski," said the girl, reminiscently. "He's saved pennies for 40 years for Polly—and she's goin' to lose it?" "Yes," replied Bill, sentiously. "And all these poor people and all these struggling business men are going to lose?" she asked. "What de hotel bill do you and I care?" snarled Bill. "We will git ours and not take a chance on the pen." "Bill," said the girl, taking both his hands in hers. "Can you let this happen to all our people on the avenue? Can you, Bill; can you?" "Why, Nan," he stammered, "I thought you said you wouldn't marry me until I had a home paid for and a bank account." "Yes, Bill," she replied. "But not with the blood money of our own people." The man put his head in his hands for long minutes. Finally he said: "Nan, you are de real ting. I am goin' to cough up what I know to de states attorney. Dat will save our people. But," and his voice grew hopeless, "I don't know how I'm goin' to make good fer you." The girl flung her arms around his neck. "Bill, Bill," she cried, "I will marry you to night. I will go with you anywhere and help you all I can—because you are on the square—and because I love you." (Copyright, 1906, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) Prosperous Palestine. The Holy Land is flowing with milk and honey. The stimulus given to Palestine trade is in great measure due to plentiful rains and consequent good cereal and orange crops and the absence of quantitative restrictions. Twenty years ago the revenue was about $50,000, while last year it was estimated at $200,000. Another incentive to trade is the annually growing number of tourists who now visit the country in spring and autumn, arriving frequently in specially chartered vessels. At Gaza the government purposes to build a sea jetty, which would give an impetus to trade there, as at present there is only an open roadstead, and whenever the sea is rough the loading or discharging of cargoes is impracticable. The governor of Beersheba is doing his best to encourage building. A carriage road is being made to Hebron from Beersheba, which is also a telegraph station. The Jaffa-Jerusalem railway is a prosperous line. In about a year a new carriage road will be finished to the dead sea and Jericho. Bishop Has Large Diocese. Bishop Moule of mid-China has been in charge of this diocese of 100,000-000 souls for over 25 years. The first European missionary to settle in an interior Chinese city away from a treaty port. Bishop Moule made Hangchow his headquarters. Thence year by year he made his wearisome circuit, sometimes on foot, sometimes in Sedan chairs, sometimes in his picturesque but not palatial Chinese boat—3,000 miles every twelve months. He speaks Chinese like a native. Rings for the Bridegroom.

The Searchlight is a friend to the preacher, the teacher, the doctor, the lawyer, the merchant, the mechanic, the farmer, the hod carrier, the wood chopper, the washerwoman and the housemaid. It believes that the humblest of any of these has as much right to life, liberty and property as the highest representatives of the Rothschilds or the lords of England. The Negro must realize the worth and intrinsic value of the press in having one of his own at every important center. He must do what the other races are doing and make the same sacrifice in order to win. We need sentiment molders, the machines of manufacture. We can not expect the white man to fight our battles; he "has troubles of his own." We give, if anything, a beggarly support to our colored papers—a nickel appears similar to a mountain in some people's eyes. We must be willing to let some of our number be great before we can get to be a great people; we must furnish the capital so that some one can get on his feet. We too often expect the Negro newspaper man to equal the wealthy corporations with their electric printing presses, and whose meanest reporters receive greater compensation than the best Negro editors. In order to put our cause before the people we have to speak with the millions instead of the hundreds. Shall we have a strong Negro press, made so by your support% The Searchlight stands for pure homes, which means the highest standard of citizenship. If you desire to know the true sentiments of the thoughtful, progressive colored people read the Searchlight.

From a financial point of view it was fine. The ladies made between $35.00 and $40.00 for their mission society treasury.

Murdock Ave., Wichita DAUGHTER MARY SWAN PEACEFULLY PASSES AWAY. After a long, lingering illness of several months' duration Mrs. Mary Swan died at her alte home, 23d and Armstrong, Wednesday morning, in the throes of Christ. Though bedfast for several months with pains and misery indescribable permeating every portion of her body she never once lost sight of the promise of Him who said, "I go to prepare a place for you, that where I am there ye may be also," and with these precious thoughts an unrelieting and imperishable faith in her Redeemer, she lived to die in Him to live again—and for all the faithful ones of her relatives and the Daughters of the Tabernacle of which she was a member, who watched at her bedside she had'a smile, a pleasant word and a cheering countenance. "She is not dead, but sleepeth." Daughter Swan was conscious to the last and though speechless for several hours before death claimed her, yet by signs, smiles and gestures to the waiting ones she gave evidence that she fully understood all that was said to her by those about her bedside. She leaves a Christian experience and a Christ-like legacy, amply befitting to be followed by the dear ones left behind. Thrifty, energetic and industrious in life, she had accumulated much of this world's holding "to benefit" as she often said, "her children." She leaves four children, Willis Bartlett, Mrs. Sam C. Collins, Geo. Smith and Frank Smith, and several grandchildren. Biographical. Dtr. Swan left a statement of her life which she dictated four months ago and which we republish in full as she had it written at that time. "I was born in Montgomery county, Tennee, May 16th, 1853, and at the age of five months my omther was sold and we were taken to Cheatham county, Tennessee, and father was freed. In 1865 father took us to Davidson county, Tennessee, where he died. On Dec. 20th, 1867 I married and my husband died in 1875, and in 1877 I marriedre Mr. A. J. Smith, and in 1880 my husband and I moved to Kansas. He died, and in 1894 I married Mr. Nelson Swan. Dtr. Mattie Miller, my High Priestess, I have fixed up this the best I know how, as I know it will be need, and these are things which I know no one else could give the true statement except me. I write this to the Daughters of Wichita Tabernacle No. 34, of which I am proud to say I am a member. Daughters, I am in my right mind, and I shall never forget the loving kindness of you Daughters of Wichita Tabernacle No. 34, and your dear High Priestess, Dtr. Mattie Miller. If I never meet with you again let me ask you all to meet me in heaven, and I beg you to stand by your High Priestess, Dtr. Mattie Miller, for she is a good Christian daughter and will ever lead you safely. May God bless you all and prosper our order. Yours in Christ. MARYI SWAN. Dtr. Swan joined Wichita Tabernacle No. 34, June 14th, 1904, and was a true, honest and faithful member and one who had the interest of the order at heart. She was born May 16th, 1853, and died Nov. 27th, 1906, and was therefore 53 years, 6 months, 11 days old at the time of her death. Funeral was held at New Hope Baptist church Friday afternoon, November 30th, under the auspices of Wichita Tabernacle, No. 34, Daughters of Tabor. Sermon preached by Rev.

Of course the English face is notoriously animated and cheery. A Cuban editor has been wounded in a duel with a military hero. He should have remembered the old saying about the pen. The Pullman company declares that its sleeping cars are hotels. It does not go so far, however, as to suggest that its porters shall hereafter be referred to as chambermaids.

Post office receipts reflect quite accurately the growth of business and population. The receipts for the fiscal year which closed June 30, 1906, were larger by more than $15,000,000 than during the preceding year. This is the largest increase for any year in the history of the service. The excess of expenditures over receipts was about $10,500,000, which was $4,000,000 less than in 1905. The American marine continues to win good opinions, wherever his services are utilized as a fighting man or in more peaceful fashion. He was among the first to go to the defense of law and order in Cuba, and now come reports showing that when the cyclone swept over the island American marines went gallantly to the rescue and accomplished much work in saving life and property. It has come to be a proverb that Uncle Sam's marines are the most "deadable" of their kind, no matter what the duty required. Kansas has a new rule, drawn by the state board of health, which is an interesting contribution to the solution of the pure food problem. "The sale at retail within the state of Kansas for human food of any domestic or wild fowl or game or fish that has been kept in cold storage with entrails, crops and other offensive parts undrawn is prohibited. The service for food of any such domestic or wild fowl or game or fish is also prohibited."

Over all the temperate regions the hot weather has passed and the first rigors of winter have appeared. As the great bulk of civilized nations is located in the Temperate The Temperate Zones, the effect of changing seasons is a question of the highest importance. When the weather begins to The Human System Must Adjust itself to Changing Temperatures. of changing seasons is a question of the highest importance. When the weather begins to change from warm to cold, when cool nights succeed hot nights, when clear, cold days follow hot, sultry days, the human body must adjust itself to this changed condition or perish. The perspiration incident to warm weather has been checked. This detains within the system poisonous materials which have heretofore found escape through the perspiration. Most of the poisonous materials retained in the system by the checked perspiration find their way out of the body, if at all, through the kidneys. This throws upon the kidneys extra labor. They become charged and overloaded with the poisonous excretory materials. This has a tendency to inflame the kidneys, producing functional diseases of the kidneys and sometimes Bright's Disease. Peruna acts upon the skin by stimulating the emuatory glands and ducts, thus preventing the detention of poisonous materials which should pass out. Peruna invigorates the kidneys and encourages them to fulfill their function in spite of the chills and discouragements of cold weather.

Its efficacy has been proven by decades of use by thousands of people, and has been substantiated over and over by many thousands of homes. Reynard's Hiding Place. During a run of the Essex Union Hounds at Great Burstead, England, the fox took refuge in a brewhouse, and seated itself on the copper of boiling water. Finding his position too warm, and being hard pressed by the hounds, it fled to the roof and sought safety among the rafters. Chairs were upset, plates and dishes broken and paint pots overturned by the hounds, until the arrival of one of the whips, who caught the fox and liberated it. Reception Was Costly. Mrs. Augustus Heaton, of Washington, some time ago changed from the Episcopalean to the Roman Catholic church and by way of celebrating the event decided to give a reception in honor of the bishop of her diocese. She decided, however, that her already famous drawing-room was not sufficiently respendent to serve as a place of reception for the bishop who was to come and congratulate her. There was yet time in which to make the room more attractive and Mme. Heaton, with true artistic taste, had everything taken out of the room except the old furniture and a few art objects. The walls before had been covered with tapestry, but that was not enough for a reception for the bishop. After much thought she finally decided on drab silk wall covering. What with this and other extensive changes in the room without the purchase of furniture Mrs. Heaton got rid of $3,000. A DOCTOR'S TRIALS He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other People. Even doing good to people is hard work if you have too much of it to do. No one knows this better than the hard-working, conscientious family doctor. He has troubles of his own—often gets caught in the rain or snow, or loses so much sleep he sometimes gets out of sorts. An overworked Ohio doctor tells his experience: "About three years ago as the result of doing two men's work, attending a large practice and looking after the details of another business, my health broke down completely, and I was little better than a physical wreck. "I suffered from indigestion and constipation, loss of weight and appetite, bloating and pain after meals, loss of memory and lack of nerve force for continued mental application. "I became irritable, easily angered and despondent without cause. The heart's action became irregular and weak, with frequent attacks of palpitation during the first hour of two after retiring. "Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day and pleased me particularly with the result. I got more satisfaction from it than from anything I had eaten for months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and a sprinkle of salt or sugar. "My improvement was rapid and permanent in weight as well as in physical and mental endurance. In a word, I am filled with the joy of living again, and continue the daily use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often for the evening meal.

VINEGAR OIL WELL SATISFIED Senate Committee Pleased with the Amount of Information Gained in Indian Territory. THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS Sale of Agricultural Allotments and Segregated Coal Lands and Changes in Regulations Regarding Leases. Partfesville, I. T., Nov. 26.—The senatorial committee finished its work in Indian territory Saturday and left at midnight for the East. All the senators except Clark of Montana had expected to stay until next Monday, but it was found that without the loss of essential information the hearing here could be closed Saturday night. "The committee is well satisfied with the time spent and the information gained during its visit to Indian territory." Briefly and without intimation of what the committee had found, this was the only statement that Senator Clark of Wyoming, chairman of the committee, would consent to make for newspaper publication. Privately, members of the committee were not averse to talking, but always with an injunction against being quoted. No person, not even the committee members themselves, can safely guess what Congress will do for Indian territory this winter. First the committee itself must agree upon a report. Then the committee on Indian affairs in the Senate must be led to accept the report, this to be followed by the action of the Senate, the House committee on Indian affairs, the House itself, and after all there may be a mix-up between the two branches of Congress that in the short session would prevent relief to Indian territory. There is powerful hostility in the Senate to what is called the cold blooded commercial demands of the white men in Indian Territory as against the sentimental guardianship of the indian by the federal government. The committee will be unable to prepare its report for submission at the opening of Congress and may not have it ready until after the holidays. Additional testimony will be taken in Washington from Secretary Hitchcock and Joseph A. Taft of the United States geological survey on the extent and value of the Chickasaw and Chickasaw coal lands. The committee has been at work ten hours a day in all the eleven working days it has been in Indian territory, holding three sessions a day and traveling from town to town at night. The three most important question considered by the committee were: Removal of restrictions on the sale of agricultural allotments; sale of the segregated coal lands amounting to about 450,000 acres in the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, including the sale of the surface of these lands for agricultural purposes and rules and regulations for the leasing of oil and gas lands as made and enforced by Secretary Hitecock. Will Start a Grange Paper. Denver, Nov. 24.—After sitting ten days and legislating upon many matters of importance to the million members of the National Grange the fortieth annual convention of the order finally adjourned Friday afternoon. It was decided to establish a weekly paper to be devoted entirely to the interests of the Grange. J. W. Darrow of New York, who has been at the head of the publication bureau of the Grange for many years, is slated to be ed'tor. Resolutions in favor of modification of the tariff were adopted. For an Income Tax in Ohio. Columbus, O., Nov. 23.—Gov. Harris has stated he would recommend in his first message to the legislature the levying of a tax on incomes by the state of Ohio if a way can be found to enact a law that will stand the constitutional test. The governor also favors a reenactment of the inheritance tax law repealed by the legislature. ПИЩАНИЕ НАЗУШ. PIPE LINE COMPANY SUED Ohio Has Commenced Action Against Standard Oil Concern. A Write of Madamus Is Sought to Compel It to Provide Public with Transportation Facilities. Findlay, O., Nov. 23.—The Buckeye Pipe Line company was made the defendant in a suit filed in the circuit court late Thursday by William L. David, prosecuting attorney of Hancock county and George H. Phelps, from the attorney general's office. The state of Ohio is the plaintiff. The petition alleges that the Buckeye Pipe line company is organized under the laws of Ohio with a capital of $10,000,000 and is empowered to transport and store petroleum by means of pipes. The petition charges that ever since its organization in 1886 it has been a member of an illegal combination known as the Standard Oil company. It operates in six counties in northwestern Ohio and charges 20 cents per barrel for the transportation of oil any distance. Such charges, it is said, are only nominal and are imposed to prevent others from availing themselves of such facilities. The charges are alleged to be wholly disproportionate to the services rendered. It is stated to be the duty of the defendant as a common carried to afford the public equal facilities for use of its pipe lines and that the charges should not be more than one eighth of one per cent. Plaintiff prays for an alternative writ of mandamus and that the defendant provide for the public equal and just facilities and transportation in Ohio and fix a schedule of rates. The petition is signed by Wade H. Ellis, attorney general. AFTER MORE MAYORS. Ouster Suits Filed by Attorney General Coleman Against Wichita and Leavenworth Officials. Topeka, Nov. 24. Suits were instituted in the supreme court Thursday afternoon by Attorney General Coleman to oust from office Mayor Finley Ross, of Wichita, and Peter Everhardy, of Leavenworth, and to deprive those cities of their assumed authority to license joints and dives. The evidence to sustain the suits has been collected by representatives of the attorney general, who have been working for several weeks in the two cities. The suits are similar in character to those instituted last spring against Mayor W. W. Rose and the city of Kansas City, Kan. It was only within the last week that the supreme court decided the Kansas City, Kan., suit in favor of the state and the decision rendered in this case has encouraged Mr. Coleman to believe that he can compel all of the cities in the state to discontinue the collection of fines from joints and dives. It is understood that suits are in course of preparation against Atkinson and a number of other Kansas cities where joints are operated under the fine system. The Webb City Footrace Case. St. Paul, Nov. 27—In an opinion handed down by Judge Hook in the United States circuit court of appeals Monday in the case of the Exchange Bank of Webb City, Mo., and J. P. Stewart vs. S. E. Moss and Jonathan Davis, the decision of the United States circuit court was sustained, Judge Sanborn dissented from the opinion of Judge Hook. The opinion relates to the Webb City, Mo., foot race case in which the plaintiffs claimed they were defrauded out of a large sum of money by means of a fraudulent footrace. The circuit court decided for the plaintiffs. Found Bag of Old Coins Hlawatha, Kan., Nov. 25.—While William Evans, a laborer, was digging a ditch at Rulo, Neb., a few miles north of here, he unearthed a bag containing United States silver and some Mexican and Spanish coins. The bag held about $25 in all. The coins bore dates varying from 1729 to 1856. Some of the coins are of dates which render them valuable to collectors, and Evan's find is regarded as worth several hundred dollars.

RHEUMATISM STAYS CURED Mrs. Cota, Confined to Bud and in Constant Pain, Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Rheumatism can be inherited and that fact proves it to be a disease of the blood. It is necessary, therefore, to treat it through the blood if a permanent cure is expected. External applications may give temporary relief from pain but as long as the poisonous acid is in the blood the pain will return, perhaps in a new place, but it will surely return. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills cure rheumatism because they go directly to the seat of the disorder, purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. Henry Cota, of West Cheshire, Conn., is the wife of the village machinist. "Several years ago," she says, "I was laid up with rheumatism in my feet, ankles and knees. I was in constant pain and sometimes the affected parts would swell so badly that I could not get about at all to attend to my household duties. There was one period of three weeks during which I was confined to the bed. My sufferings were awful and the doctor's medicine did not help me. "One day a neighbor told me about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I decided to try them. After I had taken them a short time I was decidedly better and a few more boxes cured me. What is better, the cure was permanent." Remember Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do not act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. They tone up the stomach and restore impaired digestion, bring healthful, refreshing sleep, give strength to the weak and make misleave, complaining people strong, hungry and energetic.

BANDIT'S STORY Robbed Passengers on Train Between Slater and Glasgow, Mo. and Was Caught in Act. SAYS HE GOT ABOUT $1,500 He Gave Officers Detailed Description of How the Robbery Was Affected and How He Marshall, Mo., Nov. 27.—Special Agent Rolla Green of the Chicago & Alton railway company, in company with a constable of Glasgow, Mo., arrived here at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon from Glasgow, Mo., bringing with him the bandit that held up and robbed the Early Bird, Chicago & Alton train Sunday night between Slater and Glasgow, Mo. He was taken immediately to the county jail and as his request Prosecuting Attorney W. G. Lynch and Joshua Barbee, the newly elected prosecuting attorney, were sent for. He asked that all others be excluded from his call while he talked to them. He stated that he would make a complete confession of the entire affair if they would agree to reduce the charge to that of burglary, thereby receiving a small penitentiary sentence. This the officers refused to do, or hold out any promise of reward or mitigation whatever for a confession, stating to him that he had committed an offense which in this state was punishable by death, with a minimum punishment of ten years in the penitentiary. He stated that it was his intention, if he would be allowed to plead guilty to a small penitentiary sentence, that he could go to the penitentiary, serve the time and come out and live an honest life; otherwise, should they send him to the penitentiary for twenty years or more upon his release he would take up his old crime of robbing trains. He gave out the following statement to the prosecuting attorney. "My name is Claud Randall. My age is 30 years and nine months. I came from St. Louis to Mexico, Mo., on the Wabash and from Mexico to Slater on the Chicago & Alton railroad Sunday. My brother was the one who robbed the Golden State Limited and he told me that the Golden State Limited did not stop between Slater and Mexico, and for that reason I came to Slater to get on the train. I got in the smoking car and went through it and robbed two or three other cars. I did not take any money from working men or ladies, as I only wanted to take money from those that had made it easy and could afford it. One man on the train when he heard me tell another passenger that I did not want any of his money because he was a laborer, said he was a laborer, also. I did not believe him and asked him to show me his hands. Upon looking at them I found them as a woman's. I then made him dig up, taking from him his $45 watch, which I told him I would send to the St. Louis Republic, where he could get it, as I only wanted it to keep time by as I only got to my destination. When the train reached Glasgow, I got off on the platform and as the train started to move I mounted it again and commenced to go through the passengers of a sleeping car, where I allowed the conductor to get too close to me and he grabbed my pistol and my throat. He then wrenched the pistol from me and I broke and ran to the back of the train. Many of the passengers and all of the train crew rushed upon me while the train was in motion, struck me upon the head with the pistol and tried to throw me overboard while the train was running thirty minutes an hour. The train soon stopped and I was captured and put off at Armstrong and brought from there the next morning to Glasgow and from there to this place today. I was born near Grant City, Mo., and was in California and came back to Missouri about six months ago. I got about $1,500 and about eight or ten watches from the passengers on the train. I did not want this jewelry, but they forced me to take it." Judge Hagen Will Take Evidence. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 27.-Attorneys representing all of the railroads operating in Kansas and the attorneys for the state of Kansas Monday agreed upon Z. T. Hazen, ex-judge of the district court to act as special master to take evidence in the case of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe railroad, et al versus the Kansas state board of railroad commissioners now pending in the federal court. The railways seek to have the law creating the board of railway commissioners declared unconstitutional on the grounds that the law allows them to exercise both judicial and executive power. The roads also ask an injunction restraining the board from placing into effect an order for a recent schedule lowering freight tariffs. Passengers Robbed Again. Glasgow, Mo., Nov. 27.—The "Early Bird," the St. Louis and Chicago train of the Chicago & Alton railroad, which left Kansas City at 9 o'clock Sunday night, was boarded by a lone robber at Slater, Mo. He went through the smoking car and sleeper, robbing 15 or 20 passengers. The robbery took place Between Gilliam and Glasgow. A man who is believed to be the robber was arrested at Armstrong, Mo., and taken to the jail at Glasgow. You Look Prematurely Old Because of those ugly, grizzly, gray hairs.

"At that time," said Justice Law, "I was suffering from an annoy- trying Squire," by which he is known far and wide, having already married some 1,400 couples. Ten years ago he was deputy county treasurer. "At that time," said Justice Law, "I was suffering kidney trouble. My back ached, my rest was broken at night, and the passages of the kidney secretions were too frequent and contained sediment. Three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills cured me in 1897, and for the past nine years I have been free from kidney complaint and backache." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Puffalo, N. Y. RATTLE OF THE RIVETER. The Man from Oklahoma Thought It Was a Woodpecker. Charley's uncle from Oklahoma was up town being shown the sights, he having come in the day before with a few loads of steers, and Charley was doing the honors. They were walking along on Grand avenue discussing the tall buildings, when all-of-a sudden one of those rackety riveting machines began hammering away at high speed on a top story of a steel skyscraper building. The old man stopped as if he'd run against something. He turned his eyes in the direction of the sound but could make out nothing. When he turned to his bewildered nephew his eyes were fairly popping. "Great Scott!" he exclaimed. "But I'd like to see that woodpecker. It must be a whopper."—Kansas City Star WORST CASE OF ECZEMA. Spread Rapidly Over Body—Limbs and Arms Had to Be Bandaged—Marvelous Cure by Cuticura. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when he was four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. We had all the doctors around us, and some from larger places, but no one helped him a particle. The eczema was something terrible, and the doctors said it was the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I had to bandage his limbs and arms; his scalp was just dreadful. A friend teased me to try Cuticura, and I began to use all three of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better in two months; and in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H., Oct. 24, 1905." Youthful Boston Congressmen All three of the congressmen just elected from Boston—Joseph F. O'Connell, John A. Kellher and Andrew J. Peters—are young men and bachelors. It is the first time in the history of the city that husband and father has not been included in Boston's delegation to Washington and, incidentally, it becomes the youngest delegation that was ever sent from any city in the country. The Scotsman's Diet For centuries the chief diet of the Scotch people has been oats in some form or other. As a result they are to-day the strongest, both mentally and physically, of any nation in the world. The best rolled oats made is Quaker Oats, and our readers can now get a large family package for 25c, and with each package, free, a beautiful piece of imported china. Ask your grocer to-day for a family package of Quaker Oats. Artists Dislike Solitude Mme. Bernhardt and Signora Duse have mutual horror of being alone while traveling. Caruso, the tenor, is of the same temperament, always avoiding solitude. He is always accompanied by some friend, who arranges traveling and other details for him, gives the singer advice and takes all similar responsibility from the artist's shoulders. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. Australian Educator In America. William S. Mayer, one of the most noted educators of New South Wales, being connected with the University of Sydney, is visiting Boston. Mr. Mayer is a native of Great Britain and went to Australia 18 years ago. Defiance Starch is the latest invention in that line and an improvement on all other makes; it is more economical, does better work, takes less time. Get it from any grocer.

TENNIS THEWINNINGSTROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, billiousness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without gripping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature. As the plants which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with their general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that SYRUP OF FIGS is a remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed people, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottle of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company—California Fig Syrup Co., is plainly printed on the front of every package.

Thanksgiving day, 1906, will go down in history as a memorable and long- to-be-remembered day among the members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Wichita for on that day ten Odd Fellows came down from Topeka and conferred on fifteen Wichita Odd Fellows the Patriarch degree in the afternoon and at night all meet with the friends at Redman hall where a splendid program was rendered to a crowded house. GIVING THE DEGREES. The initiation into the Patriarch degree was held at Young's Hall, 601 N. Main street, and began at 2 p. m. and lasted till 6:30. The initiating team was composed of the following Odd Fellows, all from Topeka: R. A. Carson, G. M.; C. Jackson, V. M.; P. W. Washam, G. S.; W. M. Johnson, G. T.; C. Reevely, G. C.; Thos. M.

Glover, Ed Landrum, Jas. L. Harper, A. L. Case, Al Covington, Ed F. Thomas, Dan Furgerson, Wm. Batts, R. A. Gibson, L H. White and W. N. Miller. To say that the work was fine and that the degree team did good work is to place the work and the time had at low ebb. Every one was jolly good fellows and all, both the initiating and the initiated, were pleased. Wichita Odd Fellows invite Topeka Odd Fellows here again. AT THE HALL. To a crowded house despite the very inclement, painy, disagreeable weather, the exercise at the hall were imposing and grand in every way. Seats were all taken and standing room was at a high premium. The exercises were opened with music by the splendid Clark-Chinneth Orchestra, followed by a swell drill by the Topeka Drill Team.

The interior has all been papered, repainted, re-varnished and re-arranged and it has a modern and up-to-date presentment. The colored people should feel proud of the store being given them by Mr. Olden and should give him their patronage. He has in his employ Miss Mabele A. Taylor, one of the most competent pharmacists in Kansas who horoughly understands the mixture of drugs and who will fill properly any prescription written. In the cigar, tobacco, and toilet line Mr. Olden has a fresh, new stock. His store is a credit to the race and should receive their patronage. THE WICH TA SEARCHLIGHT NEWS OF GREAT BEND. Rev. J. H.

ECHOES FROM RELIGIOUS FIELDS How It Came to Get Into the Contribution Basket. Being an occasional churchgoer, he was supposed to be able to behave properly through any ordinary service. His family was therefore somewhat curious, says a writer in the Providence Journal, when he returned from church one Sunday noon with a most disconsolate air. "Didn't you like the sermon?" asked his wife. "Oh, the sermon was all right, guess," said he, glumly. "Well, what is the matter?" she persisted. "Nothing's the matter," he retorted, sharply. "Can't a man look sober when he gets back from a solemn religious service without causing a riot in his own home?" His wife looked at him anxiously a moment, and then asked: "How much did you put into the contribution box?" "Seventy-five cents." "Wasn't that rather liberal?" "Rather," he repeated. "Rather lib eral. Rather too liberal." Then he went on: "You see, it was this way. When the deacon started down for the contribution I felt for some change, and found I had two pieces, a quarter and a half. While I was thinking which one I'd put in, I'm blessed if the half didn't slip out of my fingers and roll down the aisle. I didn't want to scramble for it then and figured I could get it at the close of the service. "Just as he got to me the deacon happened to look down, and of course his eye lit on that half dollar lying in the aisle in front of him. So he picked it up and dropped it into the box. I didn't have the nerve to breathe a word. Just sat like a dummy and saw the half go with the quarter. "Seventy-five cents gone, and me without another cent in my clothes, having to walk home instead of taking the trolley." Then he chuckled, and said: "What I'm wondering now is whether I get credit for giving the whole 75 cents or just for the quarter." "You won't get credit for any of it," observed his wife. "The credit for the quarter will be checked off to cover your wicked feelings when you saw the half-dollar go, too." Nobody talks much about the back doors on Easy street. TRADE AND THE MISSIONARY. How the Latter Helps the Development of the Former. One most important result, one valuable by-product, as it may be called, of missionary enterprise in China deserves to receive more serious consideration than has hitherto been accorded to it. In it it to be found an agency, unequaled by any other, for the development of our commerce with that vast population. Every missionary is, whether willingly or unwillingly, an agent for the display and recommendation of American fabrics and wares of every conceivable sort, says Chester Holcombe, in the September Atlantic. Each missionary home, whether established in great Chinese cities or rural hamlets, serves as an object lesson, an exposition of the practical comfort, convenience and value of the thousand and one items in the long catalogue of articles which complete the equipment of an American home. Idle curiosity upon the part of the natives grows into personal interest which in turn develops the desire to possess. The manufacturing and commercial interest in the United States, even though indifferent or actively hostile to the direct purpose of the missionary enterprise, could well afford to bear the entire cost of all American missionary effort in China for the sake of the large increase in trade which results from such effort. it's hard to succeed if you have no setbacks. World's Sunday School Convention. Great preparations are already being made for the World's Fifth Sunday School convention, which will take place in Rome, Italy, May 20-23, 1907. Three years ago the workers convened in Jerusalem. The official steamer will leave New York between May 1 and 4, calling at Madeira, Gibraltar, Algiers, Naples and Pompeii. Most of the delegates expect to spend at least six or seven days in Rome, and many side trips are being planned Wealth in Vatican. The money value of the Vatican, the pope's palace in Rome, and its treasures is estimated at $150,000,000. To Establish Chinese Leper Colony. The Rev. L. L. Conardy, the Belgian priest in whose arms Father Damien breathed his last at the Hawaiian, leper colony on the island of Molokai, is on his way to China, where he will establish similar colonies and spend the rest of his life. Bantists of Oklahoma With over 50,000 members, the Baptists of the new state of Oklahoma are in the lead. The conventions of Oklahoma and Indian Territory will probably unite this fall.

"If you're a ma-an," replied Mrs. Flynn, "you'll not let anny jude that iver wa-alked come over ye." "Tis you that's lackin' injinco-ity, or ye'd not be sittin' there sighin' like a bla-ast at th' r-rolin' mill. Tell me, now, where ha-ave ye been ferninst' th' judes?"

"Is there anny ha-arm in thim?" demanded Mrs. Flynn. "In thim fellies? Ha-arm" exclaimed Policeman Flynn, scornfully.

Policeman Flynn straightened up in his chair so suddenly that he dropped his pipe on the floor. "Oho! 'tis a sma-aart woman ye are!' he exclaimed, admiringly. "Is there any place openin' on th' alley? Sure, there is that. 'Tis all plain as th' nose on a Hebrew ma-an's fa-ac.

"I'll drive them th' other wa-ay out," answered the policeman. Mrs. Flynn regarded him for a moment with plying contempt. Ordinarily resourceful, there are times when Panoloman Flynn has to be prompted as well as sarcastically criticised in order that the best results may be secured. "Barney," she said at last, "ye cha-ave no head on ye at all." Tis a block iv wood ye're carryin' on ye-er shoulders, an' ye might dhrop it off without losin' anything but a bit iv kindin'.

"If I was a ma-an." went on Mrs. 18 W. "Shtand in a Kow Then and Lit's See What Ye Luk Like!" Flynn, "I'd ca-atch thim. "Tis th' only wa-ay. R-run thim into a thrap an' ma-ake thim sorry they liver throubled ye." "Iv coerse," said Policeman Flynn, and he was very thoughtful as he left home. He wanted to ask for details, but he deemed it wise not to do so. Mrs. Flynn is exceptionally sarcastic when she gets the idea that she is doing the thinking for the family, which has a tendency to induce the patrolman to solve problems in his own original way. However, there was the light of victory in his eyes when he went on duty that night, and almost the first thing he did was to interview Casey. "Tis meslif," said Casey, "that's been wonderin' why th' la-ads come trapsin' in th' wan door an' thin go pillin' out th' other. There's no money in it fr me, an' they'll not get through this night." Matters being thus satisfactorily arranged, Policeman Flynn bided his time. Never before had he left the dudes who congregated about the stage entrance so entirely alone, for he desired to gather them all in at one swoop. They were harmless fellows of the class who like to hover about, making eyes at the chorus girls and pretending to have a standing with them that they do not possess; but, as Policeman Flynn had said, they were nuisances—although of a kind numerous in every large city—and In this instance the stage entrance was so arranged that it was difficult to keep it clear of them. Finally, when the assembled crowd was large enough to suit him, the patrolman made his sally. Out of the alley went the youths and in at the front door of Casey's saloon, with the officer in close pursuit. This time he knew where to go when he emerged on the street, and he found in Casey's back room as panic-stricken a crowd as one often sees, for the alley door was locked and exit that way was impossible. "Ooh!" cried Policeman Flynn, trumphantly, "I ha-ave ye now f're sure! Shtand in a r-row there an' let's see what ye luk like!" One or two of them were inclined to rebel, but they thought better of it when Policeman Flynn made a movement in their direction, and all lined up against the wall. "Tis a fine-lukkin' cr-row ye are, hangin' r-round here an' hopin' ye'll ha-ave a chanst fr to buy pussy caffies an' fizz wather fr gir-rls that only wa-ants to i'ave thim alone. What'll I do with ye?" Policeman Flynn looked them over contemptuously. "Twu'd contam'n'th' cells at th' station fr to put ye in thim, but I'll fix ye some wa-ay, pa-aper see-gar loafers: I'll ma-ake ye sorry ye iver r-ran ferninst Barney Flynn an' kep' him chasin' ye up an' down th' alley. I'll-I'll-Now, what'll I do?" Then, just as he seemed at his wit's end for a suitable punishment, an inspiration came to him. "Ha-and over ye-er pa-aper see-gars!" he cried, frumphantly. "Ivery wan ha-and thim over! Not a pa-aper see-gar goes out iv th' r-row this night, an' if anywan whties fr to hold on on me Ia-and him behind th' ba-ars, I will so. Ooh! 'tis long ye'll ray-mimber Barney Flynn. Hurry on, now, an' if I think ye're holdin' out I'll go through ye-er cloes." It was a great picture that Policeman Flynn made collecting the cigarettes, but he got them all, and 15 minutes later he was alone with Casey, counting the results of the raid. "Twinty-sivin boxes!" he exclaimed. "Wu'd ye taink there was that much deprivacy in th' whole city, if ye didn't see it with ye-er own eyes? Twinty-sivin boxes, an' they're all yours, Casey. Me job on th' foorce wu'd be gone if they was found on me at r-roll-call." "What'll I do with thim?" asked Casey. "Divil a bit do I care," answered Policeman Flynn, "only I say this to ye: if ye lave thim where th' cat can get him, I'll ha-vae ye arristed fr crooly to animals, I will that."

It is a common frailty of the spirit to deplore our accumulating years and look with envy on the luxuriant carelessness of youth, as if experience and culture and the enrichment of memory were not almost the only true wealth. It is good to be young, but it is better to be wise; for youth is often 'sad, and wisdom's chief concern, after all, is happiness. I have known persons, two or three, of so rare a character that time did not seem to touch them as it passed. By some blessed miracle of nature they appeared immune from all deterioration or impairment, undistraught by difficulties, unimbittered by distress, unarrested by any calamity or toil. Sorrow could not break their singing spirits, nor misfortune cast them down for long. They had fine balance of disposition, which is the chiefest of blessings. They could be counted upon to confront any enigma of existence with an eager, impartial intelligence, always looking for new truth and always abiding by the truth already found; their instinct for beauty was too keen and too great to suffer either satiety or perversion; and their fund of love too profound to be depleted. If natural grief came to them or they were overtaken in some irrational disaster, they bowed before the wind of destiny and sorrowed mightily, as great hearts must, but came up again out of the dust, pliant and undestroyed; unshaken in faith as before and lovelier than ever in the gentleness of their regard. You could not guess their years, you could only say they seemed to live by some perennial charm in a state where all evil was incongruous and decrepitude could never come. And with all their maturity of mind, their magnificent qualities of strength and sympathy, there was always about them a touch of the child, a breath of perpetual innocence and wonder, as if they might be immortals in disguise or wanderers from the fabulous Age of Gold.—Bliss Carman, in the Smart Set.

The results of the New England fisheries in 1905 broke all records. Maine contributed to the food supply of the world 1,000,000,000 packed sardines, valued at $5,000,000, and in fresh fish alone Boston sold $4,000,000 worth. The great "T wharf" in Boston handled 100,000,000 pounds of fresh fish, valued at $2,500,000. At this wharf as many as 50 fishing vessels have been moored at one time. Gloucester, the home of the Grand Banks fishing fleet, provided for the world's consumption 125,000,000 pounds of salt fish, valued at $3,750,000, and handled fresh fish to the value of $2,000,000. In the latter part of 1905 a revolution was promised in fishing methods by the addition of a new steam trawler to the fleet. Since fishing began on the Banks the work has been done by sailing vessels, which send out dories on the fishing grounds and which in their voyages back and forth between Boston and the Banks, are at the mercy of storms. There are now more than 500 vessels of all sizes in the fishing fleet, ranging in value from $1,000 to $15,000, the entire fleet being valued at about $3,000,000. If the Spray, the new steel trawler, does the work expected of her it may mean the passing of the old-time sailing fleet. The new steamer cost her owner $60,000. She is equipped to permit of all fishing operations being carried on from her deck without the use of dories and the consequent loss of life attendant upon the old methods of fishing when boats were frequently lost in the fog or run down by Atlantic steamers. The Spray drags her own trawl nets and is expected to make huge hauls and fast time between the fishing grounds and the home port.—Scrap Book. "For genuine cruelty the average five-year-old boy has got a Hotten cannibal licked to a frazzle," said the proud father of a young hopeful the other day. "The latest trick of my kid is a winner, but was sort of round on the victim, which was our pet cat. About three weeks ago we noticed that pussy suddenly stopped eating and drinking. All the choice bits of meats and dishes of milk were left untouched. "For several days we explained by supposing that the cat was getting more than the ordinary number of mice and eating them to the exclusion of our offerings, but we soon noticed that she was becoming thin and gaudy and did not seem inclined to move about and purr as she used to. One day, after two weeks of this, I picked up the now skeleton cat and began to stroke its neck. "What do you think I found? A thick rubber band stretched tightly around the throat, concealed by the long fur. It just permitted the cat to breathe, but she could not eat. removed it and now she is getting along all right. When I asked the boy about it he said he just wanted to see if kitty would strangle. If it had been anything else but a cat it would have been dead in no time." Great Heat in Deep Mines. The latest determination of rise in temperature in descending underground gives 243 feet for every degree centigrade or 135 feet for a rise of one degree Fahrenheit. The difference in temperature of different rock substances is almost inappreciable. Experiments made in deep mines to prove that the heat of the rocks does not preclude mining operations are even 4,000 feet, because if the recorded formula of 125 degrees Fahrenheit at 3,500 feet, demonstrated that such a temperature is not reached. The assertion sometimes made that mining might extend to as great a depth as 10,000 feet if haulage could be accomplished is untenable. The difficulties would not be in haulage but, first, that of breathing under the enormous atmospheric pressure, and secondly, increase of temperature. A mass of air in a down-cast shaft of 9 degrees Fahrenheit at the surface at a depth of 10,000 feet would attain a temperature of 90 degrees by its own weight. Healthful mining would be impossible. A smart lawyer had been bullying the witness in a laundry case. Finally he asked: "How long has you been getting your washing done in this place?" "Ever since your mother died" and swerved the witness. "What do you mean, sir?" asked the lawyer, firing up. "Just what I say, sir," calmly piled the witness. "Do you mean to insinuate that my mother ever did your washing? You—you—" "No; I mean just what I say. Your mother died six years ago. Since then I have had my washing done on this laundry." "Then the witness was allowed to step down amid the giggles of the multitude. The Limit.
