Torbert, principal of the High and Industrial School for Negroes at Ft. Vally, Ga., said in a recent address to a large audience made up most ly of white people at Brooklyn, N. Y.— "The Negro problem is a great one. It cannot be solved in a day nor a decade nor a generation. It must be worked out through patience, work, hope, prayer and sublime faith. Let me appeal to philanthropist of the north to re-enforce the already large army of workers at the south, because in education lies the hope of this people. "Educate us and we will fight ignorance. Encourage us and we will fight crime. Treat us as a people who have reelings, desires and hopes in common with people of other races and we can work more heartily from within We will have more pride of self, pride of race and pride of country. When the clean and the upright, when the useful and the progressive, of my race are encouraged and protected, when worth and merit shall have a larker part in determining our treatment and the color of the skin less, we can more willingly and effectively aid in ferreting out crime, bringing criminals to justice and teach respect for law and obedience to authority. An individual woaks best when he has encouragement, when he is told of his good qualities and when he is fully trusted. What is true of an individual is also true of a race. Be generous to us in our poverty, be lenient with us in our shortcomings, and, we as a race will quickly acknowledge any mistakes and as quickly we will strive to make them less. J. H. ENG Lumber Successor to 318 West L But it must be borne in mind that we have a tremendous problem upon our hands at the south Negroes should not be discouraged, every race as well as every man has at least one opportunity to succeed. Whatever his vocation in life there comes a time when fortune smiles and every circumstance is set toward prosaerity. In the field of great endeavor a man may be low down among those who toil upon the mountian tops, or in an humble station he may be low down among the many who throng the valleys below. It matters not for him in his own field of effort, there is some time a golden chance to rise above what he is and has been. somewhere in the battle of life God gives every man a chance to wear the victor's crown and stand among heroes, and the successful man sees this opportunity Prof. Sam T.

We Are The Men In Ada, Okla., four white men were taken from the jail and lynched. Three of them were millionaires and the other a well-to do man. In Florence, Ala., in the very heart of the Southland, another white man named May, and at two or three other points in this country in recent times white men have been the victims of the mob's fury. The present trend of the American mob of lynching white men with the self same audacity, heniouness, cowardice, dare-devilry and ease with which the mob has been lynching the Negro, is causing the white people to sit up and take notice of Judge Lynch used on the white man. It only emphasises, however, the wickedness of mob rule and makes still stronger the argument of the brave men and women who have so bitterly opposed mob rule as being both cruel and wrong. All the men lynched are charged with murder. It is not on record where millionaires have died at the hands of an infuriated mob before this time. Such would have been impossible not many years ago. One of the millionaires had killed three men and came clear. Judge Lynch had held lych carnivals so long the Negro as his victim, uncil he has grown blind with rage and now proposes to lynch all colors. Public sentiment started out more than thirty years ago condoning mobs, making excuses for them and justified them in their lawlessness because most of the mob's victims were Negroes. The public consciences on mobs has been asleep so long that it will be a little hard to awake. Every mob that is committed and the guilty parties never apprehended nor any real effort put forward to punish them tends greetly to enconrage mobocraey. It is an incentive to Judge Lyncy to ride on in his lawless work of distruction, for he will not be molested. Mob law subverts moral government and begets lawlessness. Every criminal, white or black, regardless to color, race or nationality, should be protected by the government to the end that each would get a fair and impartial trial according to our laws. If the governors and courts would take a firm stand for the suprem Mobs Now Color Blind Mobs Now Color Blind ecy of the law, Judge Lynch soon would go ont of business. A few sheriffs with backbone can defy any mob, but when the sheriffs, the courts and the public are in sympathy with the mob, then lawlessness is given a greater impetus. We rejoice to note that public sentiment is at last growing against mob violence. When more white men are made the victims of the mob it will do more to hasten the end of mob rule than anything else. It takes this sort of thing to revolutionize public sentiment. The mob should be stopped and all good citizen should help to exterminate them. —Ex Mrs. Anthony's Death Mrs Winnie Anthony was born in Mayfield Ky in 1942 and departed this life April 27th at the age of 67 years.

ROBBINS Miss Blanche Duval was one of a convivial party of four who sat about a table in a cafe chantant of a western metropolis. Her beauty, which was of the heart-smashing variety, had graced the chorus at different periods of her meteoric career—long enough each time to charm some admirer into a reckless infatuation. "I would give a thousand dollars any time to get that scarab back again," said the older of the two men. It was evident that his speech was flowing as volubly as the wine which had produced it. "I need the thousand," spoke up the fair Miss Duval. "Where is the 'scarab,' whatever that is?" laughed the girl, as she drained her glass. "Yes, let us in, Georgie," bantered Rosie Ward. Miss Boutelle and grossed in each of his point further understand me, the begun—I hope for He then offered on the following where oriental s Blanche was very confidences to Me found somewhat together congenial rendered her the s ed of her—an intr Burton. Her plan ly to herself, since sure it would proval. Burton occupies somestuts suites in ment building when ernoon, when Bla "A scarab," began Warren, "is a sort of beetle-looking bug, made out of stone. They are of different colors—mine was green—" "Just a match," broke in the hilarious Rosie. "I got it in Egypt and paid a devilish big price for it, because it had been blessed by Pharaoh." "They put it over you all right that time, Georgie," said Tom Crandall, Rosie's escort upon this occasion. "One night in New York," Warren continued, oblivious to interruptions, "I got into a gamble with some fellows at the club. The bets were running high and I finally put up my scarab. I lost it to a fellow named Chandler Burton." "Has he got it now?" asked Blanche, who had been much interested in the story, and whose slumberous lids now opened wide with concern as she bent toward Warren. "Yes, he has, and the others all told me he had cheated in the game. I ought to have made him give it back," said Warren, glumly. "I'll get it for you, all right—for the thousand," said Blanche, now keenly alert with the zest of an adventure which furnished the spice of life to one of her temperament. "Is it a bargain, George?" she asked, as she held his eyes with an expression which had never yet failed to elicit the desired response. "If you wish it, girlie," he said, reaching over and covering her hand in a passionate pressure. "What's the use making such a fuss over a scarab? You can buy dozens of them for less than a thousand dollars," protested Crandall, in an effort to prevent his friend from making a rash bargain. "Why, man, this is a good luck stone, because it was blessed by Pharaoh and had his mark upon it. Besides, it is extraordinary in size and is surrounded by diamonds—sort of a brooch affair. It is really a woman's ornament." Here Blanche Duvall's eyes dilated with freshly aroused enthusiasm. Her fertile brain had already devised a scheme by which she felt confident she could obtain possession of the gem, using a method pleasant in its accomplishment, plus the reward of the thousand dollars. She was tiring of the west, anyway, and was just a little bored by Warren, who had attended her assiduously and for a longer time than she usually allowed any one devotee. Two days later Miss Duval sent the following telegram, just before boarding the Overland limited eastward: Miss Maizle Boutelle, Green Room club, New York: Will arrive New York Saturday morning 10:30. Meet me train No. 42 New York Central Railroad. BLANCHE DUVAL George Warren watched the limited depart with mingled feelings of relief and regret, while the train had hardly started before Miss Duval's unsteady affections were all ready for transfer to the interesting unknown—Chandler Burton. Her friend, Maizle Boutelle, was sure to be in the midst of things. She could easily bring about the meeting through some men friends. Miss Duval, looking as fresh as when she had started, almost five days before, alighted from the train in New York with an indefinable grace of carriage, into the arms of her old chorus girl companion, Miss Boutelle. It was less than a week later that Blanche Duval was again one of a jovial party of four, who occupied a table in a Bohemian restaurant of the great eastern metropolis. Chandler Burton, a man about town, whose interest it had of late become difficult to attract, had apparently succumbed to the fascinations of Miss Duval. His whole attention was concentrated into a devouring gaze, as he analyzed the girl's unusual attractiveness. Shimmering shades of gold shone elusively through her wavy brown hair; her face was almost oriental in its rich coloring, while her eyes were of wondrous hue; her mouth was mobile and expressive, with its full red lips. "Then it is settled that you will give a stag dinner so I can pop out of a pie and do my oriental dance in native costume?" cried Blanche, with well feigned merriment. "Yes, that's settled, but I'm decidedly unsettled—since I've met you," he said, in a low, unsteady voice. "Things have only just begun—as far as I'm concerned," he added, with a meaning which could not be mistaken. While special Master E. V. Mckeever tried to apply this to the supreme Miss Boutelle and her friend were engrossed in each other Burton pressed his point further by saying: "Do you understand me, the game's only just begun—I hope for both of us." He then offered to accompany her on the following day to a costumer's where oriental stuffs were kept. Blanche was very discreet in her confidence to Maizie, whom she had found somewhat changed, and not altogether congenial. But Maizie had rendered her the service she had wanted of her—an introduction to Chandler Her plan she had kept entirely to herself, since she was not at all sure it would have Maizie's approval. Burton occupied one of the handsomest suites in the Bachelor apartment building where he lived. One afternoon, when Blanche Duval was taking tea with him there, he showed her his unique cabinet of curios, which he had gathered in his travels over the world. Her heart beat triple time when he carefully opened an ivory case and she recognized the scarab, as it lay imbedded among the flashing stones. What luck was hers! "Oh," she gasped, "how dazzlingly beautiful! Where did you get it?" in an innocent voice, as she viewed it with longing eyes. "It's a trophy—the one I prize the most of all." "I should think you would!" It's so oriental in its splendor. "In that way it makes me think of you," he answered, hoarsely, intoxicated by her nearness, as they bent over it together. "Let me wear it the night of your dinner!" she said, softly, quick to take advantage of the moment. "It will just complete my costume!" "You shall, my harem beauty!" In another instant he had taken her fiercely in his arms, while she yielded her lips responsively to his kisses. Chandler Burton in that moment found that life had not palled upon him, as he had lately feared. With all of his former ardor he enjoyed gratifying the whims of the capricious Miss Duval. By the time the evening of his dinner had arrived Burton was loathe to share his spoils with the men of his set, by exhibiting Miss Duval as an oriental nymph. But he was not in position to deny her in this, and at the end of the famous spread the pie was brought in over the heads of many waiters. All eyes eagerly drank of the charms of Blanche Duval as the pie opened and she slowly rose—a true harem beauty. On her full round bosom blazed the royal scarab, from its diamond frame. Her triumph was complete. The success of her plan was now assured. The next morning at 11 Miss Duval sat waiting for a cab to take her to the station, when Herbert Sanborn—a stranger to her—was announced. He greeted her by saying: "Miss Duval, you do not remember me, but I had the great pleasure of seeing you dance at Mr. Burton's dinner last evening—" "Yes?" queried Blanche, raising her exquisitely arched brows in wonder as to what would follow. "My errand is of unusual abruptness, but I am sailing for Europe tomorrow. I came to offer you $3,000 for the Egyptian ornament you wore last night. I am a collector of rare and unique jewels, and on that account it is probably worth more to me than to you." Across Blanche Duval's alert mind flitted enticingly her possibilities with $3,000 in her pocket—and almost without hesitation she accepted Mr. Sanborn's offer. Excusing herself, she went hastily to the bedroom where her traveling bag lay packed. From its top she took an envelope addressed to her in Maizie's handwriting—then delved to the place where she had laid the ivory case. Startled into a frenzy at the discovery it was gone, she almost forgot to open Maizie's note. She tore it apart and read: My dear Blanche: As I feel responsible, in a way, to Mr. Burton for your actions, and have discovered that you have packed your bag for your visit. California with his jeans in it. I have taken the liberty, while you are yet able to return it to him with your thanks. Whatever our other failings may be, let us not add theft—which is a crime—to them. I hope you will be as thankful as I am that I have saved you before it was too late. Your sincere friend.

FARMERS INTEND TO PROTECT INTERESTS HOLD SEVERAL SECRET SESSIONS Closer Relations of Grain Growers and Cattle Raisers Is the Main Object-Organization Has 3,000,000 Members. Springfield, Mo.—Grain growers from many states met here yesterday in mass meeting at the call of C. S. Barrett, president of the National Farmers' union, to take action to protect their interests. The Farmers' union has a membership of three million, and that part of the organization that convened here yesterday is known as the grain growers' branch. President Barrett, in his called issued at Atlanta, Ga., on April 21 last, said: "It is the intention to place the growers squarely on record before the world and to build such a system as will enable wheat to sell for the highest possible figures, while it is yet in the hands of the growers." Object of Meeting. It is intended, it is stated, to organize the grain growers the same as the cotton planters of the south are organized, the chief aim being to aid members in storing wheat until prices advance to the point of making selling a profit. Over one hundred dealers are here, coming from all states south of Iowa and west to the Rocky Mountains, east to the Atlantic and south to the Gulf. The board of directors of the national association also met yesterday to choose the place of meeting of the national association on September 7. The applicants for the convention are Walla Walla, Wash.; Birmingham, Ala., and Springfield, Mo. The sessions will be executive. Charles S. Barrett, of Union City, La., president of the union, however, gave an outline of the union's work in a significant interview before calling the meeting to order. "We have," said President Barrett, "found a solution for one of the most important problems in the south, the handling of the cotton crop in the best interests of the grower.. "There has been no consolidation of the farmers into a 'trust,' but an amalgamation of warehouses. At the present time we have a thorough organization that can regulate the price of cotton. We are deriving as much benefit in the cotton market today as the market manipulators. The last convention of the cotton growers was held in New Orleans in November, 1908, but only three weeks after that a state convention, the Union company, controlling 130 warehouses, was formed. Every penny of stock is held by the members of the union. What we did there we are doing in other places, and it is our ultimate aim to control every cotton warehouse in the south. We have now reached nearly the height of our usefulness to the south and have turned to the assistance of the middle west and the northern field with our organization and financial support. I am not familiar with the conditions and needs of the grain and stock growers, but the solution we have found in the south will be the basis of our work here." J. H. Rickel is Commander. Ottawa, Kan.—J. H. Rickel, of Chanute, was yesterday elected department commander of the state G. A. R., to succeed W. A. Morgan of Cottonwood Falls. As a result of efforts of peacemakers to settle the old Morgan-Coney feud, Morgan refused to allow his name to go before the session and N. E. Harmon, of Wichita, backed by Coney, withdrew after the first ballot. Hutchinson was chosen as the meeting place of the next encampment. Mrs. Cora M. Deputy of Manhattan, was elected president of the W. R. C., and Mrs. Hattie L. Williams re-elected president of the Ladies of the G. A. R. Kansas Elks Elect Officers. Topeka, Kan.—The Kansas lodge of Elks yesterday elected the following officers: Antonio Buzzi, Wichita, president; O. M. Willhite, Emporia, vicepresident; J. L. Bone, Hutchinson, treasurer; W. J. Curtis, Topeka, esquire; R. G. Knox, Pittsburg, inner guard; Perry Elder, Ottawa, tyler; Chas. Kaz, Junction City, trustee. Hutchinson was selected as the place for the next annual meeting. Henry Starr. Outlaw. Arrested. Phoenix, Ariz.—Deputy sheriffs yesterday arrested Henry Starr, an alleged Kansas and Colorado bank robber, in the postoffice at Bouse, Yuma county. He is in custody at Phoenix and will leave tomorrow for Lamar, Colorado, under a strong guard. Starr, it is charged, was formerly at the head of the Starr gang in Oklahoma, which operated with the famous Dalton gang, broken up after the Coffeyville, Kan., raid.

The bungalow style of house has been very popular in California for a good many years and it has steadily worked its way east. During the past five years these interesting little dwellings have grown in popularity until it seems that the more bungalows we have the more we want. The introduction of modern conveniences into bungalows has altered the whole house-building problem. The first bungalows in the east were not called by that name. They were known as summer cottages and they were built usually on the bank of a river or near the shore of the ocean or some pretty lake. They were mere shells of houses without any attempt to protect the family against cold weather, but improvements have followed until we now have not only very artistic bungalow designs, but many of them are very convenient and very comfortable houses to live in in winter as well as in summer. The bungalow plan has made the large living room in a small house possible. Usually bungalow bedrooms are small. In the best designs space is economized in many ways very much to the advantage of small families. In this plan the living room is 14 feet 6 inches in width by 20 feet in length, and it has a splendid fireplace in one end with a book case at the side in the corner. Then to make the ```markdown ``` room still larger the casement window is built out from the side in such a way as to provide a long, wide, comfortable window seat. The windows are double for winter and are carefully fitted to keep out the cold. While the window seats with an abundance of glass look nice, many of them are uncomfortable in cold weather for the reason that they are not well built. Even in cement houses there are cracks between the window frames and the cement work. Some contractors are careless about joints so long as the work looks well. The only way to get a window seat proper.

I don't know anything more comfortable than a window seat like this properly protected from the cold and fitted with a good thick cushion, upholstering at the back and at the ends and filled in with plenty of sofa pillows. Then if you have a good book and a fire in the grate you can enjoy life if you have a clear conscience. A living room like this will appeal to every housewife who has ambition to make home really comfortable and attractive. It will appeal to any man when he comes home at night from a hard day's work, and will keep him at home if the hearth is of the right sort. But I have seen such rooms too nice to use. I have known women who would not have a fire in the fireplace because the ashes sometimes get out onto the hearth and sometimes there is a little dust that settles on the furniture. I don't blame a woman for preventing unnecessary work so far as possible, but a cheerful fire in a fireplace properly built and taken care of as it should be sheds more brightness and dispenses more comfort than the cost of taking care of a dozen fireplaces. One feature about this house that should attract especial notice is the placing of the bedrooms on one, side of the house and the living rooms on the other side, with a hall between, and the bathroom is so arranged that it is not necessary to go through the living room to get to it. It is difficult to plan such a division of space when the rooms are all on one floor, but it is a very satisfactory arrangement in this case. In this little bungalow there are many cupboards and conveniences to aid in easy housekeeping. The plan of putting a sink in the pantry is a good one if the pantry is large enough. In this case the dining room and kitchen are one room. By getting rid of the sink there is nothing left in the kitchen that could be considered objectionable or out of place in a dining room, especially when gas is used for cooking. The dining room-kitchen is in such close communication with the pantry that the work may be done with the fewest possible steps, which is another point of value to credit up to this pretty little cement bungalow. This arrangement also works well in putting in the plumbing. The bathroom and kitchen sink being so close together, the pipes for both hot and cold water may be short, and the sewer connections are all close together. It is a fact that the plumbing in some houses costs twice as much as the plumbing in other houses that are no better served when the job is done. There is a grade entrance door at A the back, four steps below the kitchen floor, with steps down to the cellar at the left and up to the kitchen at the right. And there is a good vestibule entrance to the dining kitchen, with a place for the ice box under a window, which is designed for both light and ventilation. Plunge Cures Deaf Mute. Miss Bennice Pooler, a visitor at Los Angeles from Philadelphia, and a deaf mute since childhood, regained her speech and hearing the other day, following an involuntary plunge in the Pacific ocean at Balboa beach. However, she lost a pair of valuable gold combs and a diamond pin and ruined her gown. She says it, was worth it. Miss Pooler lost her speech and hearing by falling into a lake in Pennsylvania when she was an infant, 19 years ago. "It was a jolly good wetting," she said. "My poor gown is wrecked, but I am not complaining; I am the happiest girl in the world. I am also the most talkative, probably; but do you blame me? Wouldn't you talk till your tongue was tired if you were me?" Morals and Eternal Life. If a mere dream, life is a very much poorer and pettier thing; men are beings of much less importance; trouble danger and physical pain are much greater evils, and the prejudice or virtue is much more questionable than has hitherto been supposed to be the case. If men follow the advice so often pressed upon them, to cease to think of these subjects otherwise than as insoluble riddles, all the existing conceptions of morality will have to be changed, all social tendencies will be weakened. Merely personal inclinations will be greatly strengthened. Men who say "to-morrow we die" will add "let us eat, drink and be merry." —Fitzjames Stephens, in "Liberty, Equality and Fraternity." Canada Must Wait for A Canada Must Wait for Anthem. Every now and then some one tries to write a national anthem for Canada, but, in the opinion of the Victoria Colonist, every effort is a failure. The Colonist adds: "Canada is not old enough to have evolved a national anthem. The sentiment of the people has not clustered around any particular person, event or idea. When the average rhymester sits down to write a Canadian song he tries to include everything in it, from the herring fleet of Nova Scotia to the miners of the Klondike, and the result is a species of directory. By and by something may happen, or we may do something as a people, or some one may think of something that will catch the popular idea." --- ANOTHER WOMAN CURED By Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Gardiner, Maine.—"I have been a great sufferer from organic troubles and a severe female weakness. The doctor said I would have to go to the hospital for an operation, but I could not bear to think of it. I decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash—and was entirely erased after three weakness. The doctor said I would have to go to the hospital for an operation, but I could not bear to think of it. I decided to try Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash—and was entirely cured after three months' use of them."—Mrs. S. A. WILLIAMS, R. F. D. No. 14, Box 39, Gardiner, Me. No woman should submit to a surgical operation, which may mean death, until she has given Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made exclusively from roots and herbs, a fair trial. This famous medicine for women has for thirty years proved to be the most valuable tonic and renewer of the female organism.

M. CRAZY SNAKE'S LAST STAND HE recent Indian uprising in Oklahoma, if by a stretch of the imagination it may be so-called, goes to show that a large part of the picturesqueness of the plains' warfare has passed away with the years. Crazy Snake's "last stand" was made against the militia of Oklahoma. It was not long ago that the whole western country as far as Indian regulation is concerned, was in charge of the regulars of the United States army. Crazy Snake wore "store clothes." In his pictures he appears like anything but the wild untutored savage that one would paint an Indian bearing such a name as Crazy Snake. The fights in the past between the palefaces and the reds were Indian side, were men wearing paints of all colors, casins and leggings, or if the scene of action happened time, wearing nothing at all except breech clout and picturesque chieftains of the plains have gone to the Among them were those who died old enough to re- the rifle was unknown to the red man except as a of the adver- died not long is found in the at the Sioux at last a good ever raised his man is dubbed the-Face living world.

Many of the old picturesque chieftains of the plains have gone to the happy hunting ground. Among them were those who died old enough to remember the day when the rifle was unknown to the red man except as a weapon in the hands of the adversary. Old Rain-in-the-Face died not long ago and his epitaph is found in the flippant paragraph that the Sloux warrior and chieftain is at last a good Indian. Every redskin who ever raised his hand against a white man is dubbed a bad Indian. Rain-in-the-Face living was of service to the world. He added picturesqueness and a spirit of savagery to the dull canvas of civilized life. Something is lost every time that one of the old-time warriors of the plain goes to the land where the buffalo grass is always green and where the herds await the Indian hunter. In the deaths of most of the great Indian chiefs of old there was always some tragic note. Most of them met violent deaths. Perhaps Geronimo, who passed away at Fort Sill, Okla., some months ago, was the only one of many aged chieftains to die a natural death. The Indians' picture of the happy hunting ground is said by students to have made violent death the safest mode of entrance to the portals of the redskin heaven in the Indian mind. The quality of bravery displayed, the Indians also believed in the old days, had much to do with their happiness after death, and as a consequence to die fighting for their tribe was the aim of most of the old school of warriors. Rain-in-the-Face followed Little Wound; Little Wound followed American Horse; American Horse followed Young Man Afraid, and Red Cloud is close upon their trail. Sloux chiefs and warriors all! Shall no voice lame to their passing? Most of these chiefs were Christians—in a way. The water of baptism sprinkled but it never washed the war paint from their heathen hearts. The only good thing the white men ever offered them was his religion, but they suspected it as they succumbed to its outward forms. It takes more than a prayer or two and more than a little water from a font to remove from the administering clergyman the suspicion which the red man attached to all of the white race as the result of "a century of dishonor." Out at Pine Ridge 15 years ago the little Episcopal mission church was turned into a hospital for the care of the wounded survivors of the band of Big Foot, the Sloux chief. The pews and the altar had been removed and straw had been strewn on the floor and there lay the stricken women and children—all the men of the band had met death—every one sore wounded by the bullets of the soldiers. Where the altar had been lay the wife of a chief and her four little children, bearing the pain of their wounds with what we are pleased to call a savage stoicism. The sun came up over the pine-topped ridges and sent its light through the stained-glass window over and above the place of the altar. The red and the yellow and the blue fell upon the family group, and on the blankets covering the wounded children one read, transmitted by the sun and the glass, the words: "Glory to God in the Highest." Yet the wonder is that heathens fam still lays hold on the heart of the Sloux! The tragedy of the fight at Wounded Knee, where Big Foot's warriors, the women and the children, all save a few, were slain, was not the fault of the soldiers. The men of the Seventh cavalry lost scores of their comrades, killed and wounded. They were but doing the duty enforced upon them by years of civil service theft and misrule. The Indian, strangely enough, perhaps, to those who do not know, ever has looked upon the soldier as his best friend. When the war of the Dakota reservations was ended the chiefs of the Ogalala and Brule Sioux, Kicking Bear, Short Bull, American Horse and the rest, asked that army officers might be appointed as Indian agents in the place of the civilians who held those offices for years. American Horse, when asked why he wanted a soldier agent, took two paper bags and filled one and half filled the other. The full one, he said, was the soldier agent's bag and the half full one was the civilian agent's bag. This was the heathen American Horse's method of describing the Indian's rations as they came from the hand of agents with different ideas of honesty. Captain, now brigadier-general, Charles G. Penny (retired), was the first soldier agent appointed at Pine Ridge. Capt. Penny was in command of Company K, Sixth United States infantry, at Fort Sheridan, a company which, with its command, Company F. Capt. Munson, was sent to the post north of Chicago in the November of the year that the anarchists were hanged. T In his pic- but the wild untu- at an Indian bear- e. The fights in and the reds were points of all colors, of action happened breech clout and have gone to the old enough to re- man except as a CRA SNA Capt. Penny stayed at Pine Ridge a long time, and the Indians bore testimony to the fact that the ration bags showed no signs of having leaked any of their contents before they were delivered at the doors of the Sioux tepees. There is a firm paleface conviction that the red man has no sense of humor. It were better, perhaps, to qualify the statement by making it a trifle less sweeping. It is the paleface at a distance who thinks that the Indian has no funny bone—the frontiersman knows otherwise. There is old Red Cloud, the Sioux chieftain, now within a short journey of the joys which the happy hunting ground holds for him, who probably never laughed aloud in his life, but who, behind his mask of stolidity, hides as keen an appreciation of "the fun of the thing" as can be found in the composition of any one of his white conquerors. Nearly 40 years ago Red Cloud, in the prime of his fighting days, led, with other chiefs, an attack on the whites near Fort Fetterman. Red Cloud had the better of his foes on that day. Afterward, when the paleface soldiers with blue coats proved too many for him, Red Cloud had a change of heart. He said that he had plucked out hatred. That was one of Red Cloud's best jokes, and when the whites could not see his face because it was turned away from the council fire, the old chief smiled and his eye twinkled with the joy of it. A quarter of a century divided the fight at Fort Fetterman from that at Wounded Knee. Red Cloud was at the Pine Ridge agency when the news of the battle be- tween the soldiers of the Seventh cavalry and the braves at Big Foot's band was brought in by courier. The chief heard of the loss of some 300 of his tribe, and said that, notwithstanding the fight and the killing, his heart was still shut against the return of hatred for the pale faces. Not long after the Wounded Knee battle Miles and Brooke succeeded in throwing troops about the bands of hostiles, and began the task of forcing them little by little into the Pine Ridge agency and to final surrender. There has been criticism of the action of the Seventh cavalry at Wounded Knee—unquestionably unjust criticism—and Col. Forsythe, who was in command, had been ordered into arrest as the result of the outcry, which came from philanthropists in states far removed from the scene of Indian warfare. Gen. Miles wanted to get the reds back to the agency without precipitating another fight and another fire of criticism. So it was that he was urging the Ogalala and the Brule Sioux bucks to surrender, and was using his troops rather for herding and for driving purposes than for actual offense. Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses went to the hostile camp and harangued his brother savages imploring them to obey Miles and to come in and be bad Indians no more. Young-Man's speech had some effect. Then Red Cloud wanted to follow the example of the young chief. No one knows definitely whether Red Cloud was sent out by the general commanding or went on his peace talking errand of his own initiative, but he went. The hostiles were north of White Clay creek and west of Porcupine Butte. Red Cloud reached their camp and he talked at the council fire. Then there happened a curious thing. On the heel of the chiefs a pack band of the young bucks broke away and began to raid. There was a fight with a squadron of the Seventh cavalry near the Roman Catholic mission school, and an army wagon train was attacked at a place not far distant from the agency. Red Cloud came back to the agency. Even his native command of himself could not give control to the twinkle that was in his ancient eye. But what a tale it was that he told; The Indians with bad hearts had rejected his pleas for peace and surrender, and had driven him, their old chief, with curses and with blows from their camp. He had plodded the trail from the camp to the agency, footsore and foodless, and in this day of his failing sight he would have been lost had not his granddaughter Star Eyes—or some such name, for here memory is at fault—led him all the way by the hand. It was with as near a sob in his voice as an Indian ever gets that old Red Cloud told his story. Way down inside he was enjoying the joke of it bitter, perchance, than were his hearers. The old chief, who had made miles of distance, footsore and foodless, during the night was looking in an unusually robust and well-fed condition that frosty January morning 18 years ago. It would be something of a joy to know just what old Red Cloud had said to the Brule and Ogalala bucks beyond the White Clay creek. The old fellow was an orator, and when there were no white men listening he knew the way to the seat of the savage passions. Is the Indian lacking in a sense of humor? Old Red Cloud used to get more genuine enjoyment out of telling his unsophisticated paleface listeners the story of how he talked peace in the hostile camp than Kicking Bear ever did in running off a settler's stock—and this means much. There probably never will be seen again on this continent such a scene of savage splendor as that which marked the final surrender of the Indian bands of Short Bull, Kicking Bear, Spotted Elk, and the rest. The surrender took place at Pine Ridge in late January, 1891, and for hours the savages came in over the ridges guarding until the last their women and children from a seemingly expected assault. They were painted the black and green of the warpath, and their ponies were daubed with vivid pigment. It was the close of what perhaps will prove to be the last of the great Indian uprisings. It was the passing of the war glory of a great race of savage men. When that warfare on the plains of South Dakota was brought to an end there was still hatred enough in the breasts of several of the chieftains to make another outbreak possible. Kicking Bear and Short Bull, Slous chieftains of proved valor and of known hatred for the whites, were brought east under guard to Fort Sheridan, Illinois, where they were kept prisoners until it was believed that their war lust had died. Finally they were sent back to the reservation and there to-day, while keeping strictly to the path of peace, it is only in the nature of things human to believe that after a century of dishonor at the hands of the whites their hearts are still for war, though their hands and their bodies are incapable. Water the World's Banker Water the World's Banker The ancients called water one of the four elements, and the work which it does in the earth's crust amply justifies the name. It is the world's banker, for it is by its agency that the ores are accumulated in veins, and in a sense it is a repairing architect. Water is the magic instrument by which copper and gold and silver are assembled; it is the true philosopher's stone; constantly at work, dissolving, transporting and redepositing. With indefatigable zeal and never flagging industry it searches through the innermost recesses of the rocks, removing treasures through their very walls, and often repairing breaches made in the attack so skillfully as to defy detection or to make the masonry stronger than when first laid. In an article by H. W. Winchell in Popular Science Monthly the method of the action of water and the influence of climate, sun, rain, average temperature and topography on the formation of underground veins of ore are suggested in an interesting way and throw some light on the future tendencies of mining science. We may, perhaps, imagine the water as laying down veins of ore by means of a perpetual circulation. It arrives at last at a state in which we may imagine it capable of dissolving anything. Finding no escape downward and urged on by cooler and heavier waters coming down, these saturated solutions begin to move laterally and upward; and as they find their way back to the surface again they have to drop deposits of metal which they hold in solution. Such waters may finally emerge as hot springs or geysers, finding their way through earth fractures, and these fractures, coated with metal by the metal carrier, become the veins and lodes of future ages. Taking this theory for granted, it is evident that many such considerations will govern the laying down of ores. Countries in which the rain descends through soft rocks will be more likely to entertain mineral veins than those in which the surface is arid or the rocks are hard. Then there will be few "bonanzas" in Siberia or Russia or Switzerland; and the countries of mild climate and soft surface rocks will be most productive. A local difference may exist on either side of the mountains; the best ore shoots are on the sunny side; the cold northern shaded sides produce few veins.

LATTER CONCEAL HIS IDENTITY Quarrel with Supposed Parents Brings to Light Story of His Adoption — "Cyclone Kid" Now Seeking Relatives. Des Moines fa.—"The Cyclone Kid" they are now styling Charles H. Bennett of Melbourne, La. It isn't because "he is there with the wallop," as the spiritual souls of the prize ring out in, but because he was kidnapped by a cyclone when he was too young to have developed the western instinct for the cyclone cellar. Bennett has just finished a search for his relatives, and in his success has come the unfolding of the story. The hero of the unique event was born on a farm at Leon, Ia., a few miles north of the state line. The region was, as now, in the vicinity of the cyclone belt, and strong winds frequently threatened to lift the roof of the Bennett homestead. One August afternoon 18 years ago, when Bennett was only 6 years old, there developed suddenly a wind storm of frogs proportions. The little boy, who had been playing in a field near the house, sought to run under cover, but a deluge of wind caught him in its grip and made him leave, his feet in a jiffy. And then away he went clear over the fences that had been, sometimes being rolling along the ground, at other times lifted up into the heart of the maelstrom. His mother, who had seen him knocked off his feet, tried to pursue him, but the tail of the cyclone struck her down, so dazing her that she knew little or nothing for several hours. Meanwhile the youngster was easier prey for the winds. Once he was dropped in the middle of the road. With what little strength he had left, he strove to regain his feet and maks or shelter. In his bewildered and breathless state, he had no chance at all against the rapidly moving cyclone. He was picked up again and carried into the distance. Late that evening Mr. and Mrs. James Hudson of Harrison county, Mo., decided that the cyclone had left their neighborhood and that it would be safe to venture out of doors for an inspection of their property. Only a few yards from their threshold they came across a bundle of rags. It was such a soiled-looking mass that they thought it must have been unearthed from the bed of a stream or from a mud hole. FIGHTS BIG SNAKE IN MIDAIR WITH DYNAMITE WORKMAN HAS THRILLING EXPERIENCE WHILE SUSPENDED OVER DEEP CHASM. Trenton, N. J.-John Hutchinson, a blaster at the workhouse quarries along the Delaware river, had a mid-er encounter with a big pilot snake that resulted in the suspension of all R Escape Was Impossible. Lorry work for the remainder of the day. A hundred quarryman watched the fight, unable to give assistance. Hutchinson had been lowered over the side of the quarry and was suspended about a hundred feet from the top and 15 feet from the bottom of the hole when his attention was attracted by a peculiar gliding movement on the rope above him. First he thought the rope was giving way, but a moment later, he saw that the movement was that of a large pilot snake, which had sled on to the rope from a projecting cras and was leisurely making its way in his direction. Escape was impossible and Hutchinson's danger was increased by the fact that he was carrying in his hand a stick of dynamite and a small drill. He had not drop the dynamite for fear of the consequences and it was impossible for him to put up a fight with in his hand. He managed to above the dynamite in a pocket and then They were much astonished when they discovered that the object was a small boy, and still more astonished when they felt his heart beat. So they carried him into their kitchen, washed the soil of the road and fields off him, gave him a little stimulant and put him to bed. He awoke the next morning and cried for his mother. He made the mistake of thinking that Mrs. Hudson was she, a fact which pleased the woman so mightily that then and there she decided to make no effort to learn the identity of the newcomer, but to adopt him. Eventually the Hudson family moved to Louisiana, and there the foster child grew up. He never knew up 4 Away He Went Into the Heart of the Maelstrom. till last winter that he was no kin of Mr. and Mrs. Hudson. The story came out when he had a tilt with the father and declared that he was going out into the world to seek his fortune. Then, as a result of an interview, 14 departed to look up his family. In Leon he met many persons who remembered that a terrific cyclone had carried away the Bennett child. From them he also learned that his father was dead, and his mother was living at Long Beach, Cal.; a brother, James, in Fairfield, Neb, and a sister, Mrs. Benjamin Richardson, at Villisca, Ia. Bennett recalls his experience with the cyclone only dimly. Now and then he says, he has a feeling that he was once carried through the air like a bird. But he is willing to accept the evidence of his mother, his foster parents and Leon persons that he was kidnapped by a terrific hurricane. prepared to give battle with the small drill as a weapon. As the snake came within reach Hutchinson aimed a blow at its head but the swigging of the rope made the blow a glancing one and the snake continued its downward course, while its fangs darted out menacingly. The second blow was more successful and seemed to stun the reptile, which maintained its hold on the rope, but swung its head from side to side, as though dazed. Another blow ended the fight, the snake uncoiling from the rope and dropping into the pit below. Hutchinson was nearly exhausted when he arrived at the top, and the other quarrymen who witnessed the struggle were so unstring that they refused to go back to work. Columbus, Ga.—Miss Hilda Clark is nourishing a costly jeweled garlic, one silk stocking and one slipper because of a prank played by a boit of lightning. Miss Clark was swinging in a hammock on the veranda of her home when theolt came. Her left leg was hanging from the hammock and her dress was a bit elevated. The flash of lightning came, and with it a scream from Miss Clark. She was found sitting in the hammock dazed. The boll had struck the garter clasp, torn off the garter, ripped off the stocking, and chattered her slipper. The boll then passed into the floor, making a hole. Miss Clark soon recovered from the shock. The only mark on her it a blue streak on her left leg, where the garter was worn. Coffin, Shoal Stirs Hamlet. John Sinclair Sons Hamlet. Peoria, Ill.—The sight of a r nun bar of coffins floating in the Illinois river above Ottawa recently caused a profound sensation among the residents and stories of grave robbers and ghouls were seen in circulation. The talk resolved itself into the possibility of employing an armed guard for the local cemeteries. An investigation, however, revealed that a number of coffins were stored in an old mill and were pushed into the river by boys when used by them as floats while swimming.

Large Unoccupied Territory—Immigrants Number 28,000,000—Coming 1,000,000 Per Year. Washington, D. C.—Of the 88,000,000 people in the United States Aloska included, about, one-third live in the 13 original states, according to a statistical abstract of the United States to be issued in a few days by the bureau of statistics of the department of commerce and labor. Another third live in the states created from the territory ceded to the common union by the original states and the remaining third in the area added by purchase or annexation. While a large share of the territory in the United States has come under cultivation or individual ownership, the figures show that in 1908 there were 754,598,000 acres of unappropriated and unreserved land, of which almost one-half was in Alaska, 61,177,000 acres in Nevada; 46,532,000 in Montana; 44,778,000 in New Mexico and 42,739,000 in Arizona. Of swamp and overflow lands there are about 75,000,000 acres in the country of which 18,500,000 acres are in Florida, Louisiana coming next with about half that amount. The total number of immigrants into the country since 1820, the year of earliest record exceeds 28,000,000. During the fiscal years 1905, 1906, 1907, the number averaged more than 1,000,000 a year.

THE TURKISH PROGRESS LINE EXIT BURGARIAN COOLITY TRICKERY SMOKING PROHIBITED ABOARD THIS CAR CHICAGO DAILY NEWS SENATE SUSTAINS ALDRICH VOTED 35 TO 44 FOR INCREASED DUTY ON LEAD. Vote Considered Test of Strength—Only Eleven Republican Insurgents Appeared. Washington, D. C.—The ability of the Republican majority of the senate to uphold the recommendation of the committee on finance on the lead schedule, which contains the Dingley rates in the tariff bill in the place of the lower duties fixed by the house of representatives was fully represented when by a vote of 35 to 44 the senate declined to reduce by one quarter of a cent a pound the duty on pig lead as recommended by the committee on finance. In this vote 11 Republicans voted with the Democrats and two Democrats with the Republicans. By a viva voce vote the senate adopted the rate of $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents a pound on pig lead as recommended by the committee. At the conclusion of the session Chairman Aldrich stated that he regarded the vote as an endorsement of the action of the committee and he expressed confidence that all the schedules of the committee would be upheld.

Powder Mill Explodes OPPOSITION TO SCHEDULES. Antagonism of Republican Senators a Surprise to Aldrich. Washington, D. C. — The tariff bill will continue to receive the undivided attention of the senate during the present week. Ostensibly the amendments to the different schedules will be before the senate, but there will doubtless be much general discussion of the whole tariff question. The bill has aroused a degree of opposition among Republican senators which had not been counted upon, and while the finance committee is still confident that it will be sustained in its position, there is little effort on the part of its members to conceal the fact that they are annoyed over the situation because of the delay, if for no other reason. The general opinion is that in the end the committee will prevail, but every turn in the pathway of discussion opens up new vistas, so that, apparently the end is still afar off. Missouri Oil Case Appeal Filed. Washington, D. C.—The appeal of the Republic Oil company and the Standard Oil company from the decision of the supreme court of Missouri, ousting them from doing business in that state and imposing a fine of $50,000 each on the charge of entering into a combination to control the oil business contrary to the Missouri anti-trust laws, was received today by the clerk of the supreme court of the United States.

NOT A LETTER TO LEAVE PARIS. Postal Employees and Railway Mail Clerks Strike. Paris, France.—The chamber of deputies after a stormy session of four hours adjourned the debate on the interpallation on the postal situation until May 13. The response of the postal employees was quick and decisive. Within half an hour the federal committee had issued an order for a general strike and the railway mall clerks walked out in a body. An hour later a meeting of 6,000 postal employees at the Hippodrome took up the battle and unanimously voted to strike. There was no great enthusiasm shown but determination and resolution to force the hand of the government were apparent. The president of the committee declared that not a letter must leave Paris. The Paris Chamber of commerce sent out a letter to all chambers of commerce in France with full instructions relative to a scheme for a business letter service which is to be carried out in event of the railroads failing by means of automobiles. The prefects of the various departments already have arranged for these. Says Crazy Snake is Wounded. Says Crazy Snake is Wounded.

Young Harjo was threatened by a party of Indians in Eapulpa and a lynching was forsestalled by the authorities. The Indians feared he was there to incite another Snake uprising. Earthquake Did Not Cause Fire. Earthquake Did Not Cause Fire. San Francisco, Cal.-The United states circuit court of appeals has decided that the earthquake of April 18, 1906, was not the proximate cause of a fire occurring after the earthquake, practically holding that an earthquake cannot cause a fire directly, and that for it to be t he immediate cause the blaze must follow the shock at once.

C.—A bill doubling the tax imposed upon brewers and wholesale and retail liquor dealers was introduced by Representative Kendall, (Iowa).

That they were sick of talk about the coming son and heir. "No better name than David," she said, "We'll ever find." Till he suggested Solomon, and then she changed her mind. Declaring that on Scripture names they never could agree. "From Adam to Saint Peter, then we'll cut 'em out," said he. She liked her family name; "No, I can't stand for Smith," said he.

The "Eatin' House" Party. This is an attractive and novel idea in serving refreshments for a card party. Indeed, it is suitable for any evening gathering, but preferably where score cards are used. First, the guests are provided with tiny purses instead of cards, and instead of punches when a game is won, pieces of cardboard are given marked with figures indicating various money values. These are used later at refreshment time, for the dining room is arranged like a station eating house, and the guests buy their refreshments with the money which has accumulated in the purses during the game. The dining room may be arranged simply or elaborately as the hostess finds time and means at her disposal. Boards arranged around three sides of the room, and fitted up with stools around it may be used in lieu of tables, and the guests are served by waitresses, appropriately fitted with aprons and bows in the hair, who stand inside the improvised counter. From this may be served doughnuts, pies, cake, apples, hard-boiled eggs, sandwiches of buns and ham—all the array of the conventional "eatin-house," but it may be of the best and most palatable, and the unique service, and novel surroundings will add zest to the fare. On the wall may be hung placards, "No Smoking Allowed," or "Not Responsible for Hats and Umbrellas"—anything which carries out the station idea EPH'S PHILOSOPHY. J.

It is not conducive to flesh, except—and of course, like most things, the statement must be qualified—except that any food which is easily digested, is more easily assimilated. Toast, however, is chiefly valuable because it is partly-predigested by the action of the heat, and agrees with most stomachs. It is, however, conducive to constipation, and should not be on that account, too brown. Heat the toast slowly, thoroughly. The effect is bad if browned quickly before being cooked through. Oven heat is best. For milk toast, do not boll the milk. Let come to the boiling point, then pour over toast, previously buttered and salted or sugared. Children will eat toast with sugar when they will refuse it any other way. A "Hard-Times" Party. Set the table with all the old linen you have, and for doilies use patches of old calico darned neatly at each cover. For decoration in the center have ragged robins in an old tin can, and for souvenirs present empty pocket-books. One woman recently had, for place cards, some personal article belonging to each guest. These she had surreptitiously obtained from the family beforehand. It was the cause of much fun. For a hard-times party, of course, the personal article should be an old, discarded bit of wearing apparel. Between courses let the guests darn old stockings. Men and women alike, may be presented with a needle and cotton for darning. Invitations written on butcher's paper would prepare the guests for something novel and anything but "swell."

Itching Torture Was Beyond Words—Slept Only from Sheer Exhaustion—Relieved in 24 Hours and Cured by Cuticura in a Month. "I am seventy-seven years old, and some years ago I was taken with eczema from head to foot. I was sick for six months and what I suffered tongue could not tell. I could not sleep day or night because of that dreadful itching; when I did sleep it was from sheer exhaustion. I was one mass of irritation; it was even in my scalp. The doctor's medicine seemed to make me worse and I was almost out of my mind. I got a set of the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent. I used them persistently for twenty-four hours. That night I slept like an infant, the first solid night's sleep I had for six months. In a month I was cured. W. Harrison Smith, Mt. Kisco, N. Y., Feb. 3, 1908." Potter Drug & Chem. Corp., Sole Props, Boston. While work on a new building was going on in a southern town not long ago an old negro employed as a hod-carrier suddenly slipped while nearing the third story and plunged headlong to the ground. Several passersby rushed over expecting to find a man dead with a broken neck, as the old fellow had struck squarely on the top of his head. Finding the old man still alive some one emptied the contents of a whiskey bottle down his throat. In a few moments the old negro sat up and looked around. "How do you feel now, uncle?" asked a bystander kindly. "Well, sah," came the reply, "I wun sorter cornfused when I must start, but now dat I's hit it's all right!" An Error He had dined exceedingly well and was standing in the hotel lobby, hatless, and looking exactly as if he were quite at home there. It was no wonder that the hotel guest walked up to him and inquired imperiously: "Where's the news stand?" "Dunno." The guest glared. "I'll report you for insolence," he hissed. "Huh?" inquired he who had dined well. "R'port m'?" "Say, what are you? A bellboy or a detective or—what?" "I'm a haberdasher," answered the other, with a pleasant smile. The other snorted and withdrew. Mrs. Howe's Opinion. Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's sense of the ridiculous has always been a saving grace, leading her to avoid grandioquence. On one occasion a lady at Newport, trying to get a fine sentiment out of her, said, one moonlit evening on a vine-hung veranda: "Mrs. Howe, do say something lovely about my plaza!" Whereupon every one listened for the reply. In her delicately cultivated voice Mrs. Howe responded: "I think it is a bully plaz."—New York Herald. Gardens with Schools. The school-garden idea has been remarkably developed in San Antonio, Tex., which is said to have more gardens attached to its schools than any other place of its size in the world. There are 949 of the cultivated plots attached to the 29 schools, the gardens varying from one-tenth to one-quarter of an acre. NOT DRUGS Food Did It. After using laxative and cathartic medicines from childhood a case of chronic and apparently incurable constipation yielded to the scientific food, Grape-Nuts, in a few days. "From early childhood I suffered with such terrible constipation that I had to use laxatives continuously going from one drug to another and suffering more or less all the time. "A prominent physician whom I consulted told me the muscles of the digestive organs were partially paralyzed and could not perform their work without help of some kind, so I have tried at different times about every laxative and cathartic known, but found no help that was at all permanent. I had finally become discouraged and had given my case up as hopeless when I began to use the predigested food. Grape-Nuts. "Although I had not expected this food to help my trouble, to my great surprise Grape-Nuts digested immediately from the first and in a few days I was convinced that this was just what my system needed. "The bowels performed their functions regularly and I am now completely and permanently cured of this awful trouble. "Truly the power of scientific food must be unlimited." "There's a Reason."

GEETING, Editor. years ago I had a very pleasant jurist, the late Solon S. Calhoun, Mississippi. The course of our conversation with counsel was touched upon, and that when, in his earlier days, he that he always considered himself the defendant as for the state. The argument in the minds of all public duty consists in the attaining or being the acquittal of the innocence of a guilty man; for in it he follow the erroneous, but popular cases coming within their charge, conviction, and, that all matters are the defense, must either be brought to the case. The public principle representative of the people, or a certain kind of a conviction. True, he is the representative, in instituting and conducting testimony to the jury in a property draw his conclusions as to the use the people, and in that capacity place than the prosecuting attorney is a trial by and before the person of the people of the local jurisdiction, criminal case, and pass upon it, of 12 good and impartial men, with explanation of the law the people is simply the servant of the people before the jury for its impact on the facts of the case. In so doing all of the relevant facts, whether or innocence, and in his argument draw correct conclusions from the such conclusions favor an acquittal. His position may at times be specially when he is met by a resolute defender, but he should rest a place of duty, and not one of partisanship, and, that neither using counsel, nor public applauds, to depart from duty's plain path. EVERAL years ago I had a very pleasant meeting with that eminent jurist, the late Solon S. Calhoon, of the supreme court of Mississippi. In the course of our conversation the subject of argument of counsel was touched upon, and Judge Calhoon remarked, that when, in his earlier days, he was a prosecuting attorney, that he always considered himself as much the counsel for the defendant as for the state. This sentiment should find lodgment in the minds of all public prosecutors; for as their duty consists in the attaining of justice, it is as well as their duty con- performed in favoring the a- obtaining the conviction of a- tained. Too many follow the duty is to prosecute all cases, efforts toward a conviction, toward sustaining the defen- ant's counsel, or be lost to the sums that he is sole repre- demand a conviction, or a c is unfounded in law.

Too many follow the erroneous, but popular, notion, that their duty is to prosecute all cases coming within their charge with their utmost efforts toward a conviction, and, that all matters and testimony tending toward sustaining the defense, must either be brought out by the defendant's counsel, or be lost to the case. The public prosecutor generally assumes that he is sole representative of the people who has the right to demand a conviction, or a certain kind of a conviction. This assumption is unfounded in law. True, he is the representative of the people in investigating the matter, in instituting and conducting the prosecution and in presenting the testimony to the jury in a proper form at the trial. In argument, he may draw his conclusions as to the testimony; but the jurors themselves are the people, and in that capacity occupy a higher and more important place than the prosecuting attorney. In theory of law, a criminal case is a trial by and before the people, but as it is impracticable for all of the people of the local jurisdiction to attend and participate in each criminal case, and pass upon it, the law provides for the careful selection of 12 good and impartial men, who when selected and sworn, are in contemplation of the law the people themselves, while the ple, to bring before the jury for its impartial consideration the facts of the case. In so doing he should present all of the relevant facts, whether they indicate guilt or innocence, and in his argument endeavor to draw correct conclusions from the evidence, whether such conclusions favor an acquittal or a conviction. His position may at times be a trying one, especially when he is met by a resourceful and aggressive defender, but he should remember that his is a place of duty, and not one of personal display or partisanship, and, that neither the activity of opposing counsel, nor public aplause, should prompt him to depart from duty's plain path.

The worst of it is, the person who perceives your foolish blunder is usually kind-hearted enough to say nothing to you about it, but lets you go on your way with your conceit unwounded. Meanwhile, however, the observer has his own opinion of your behavior and it is not a flattering one. Some years ago, when Burne-Jones' celebrated painting was being exhibited in this country, three girls were talking together, when one of them asked the others: "Have you seen 'The Vampire?'" One of the girls, who understood the question replied, simply, "No," but the third, a fluffy little rattle-pate who wanted to appear very up-to-date in everything, said, smartly: "I haven't either—really I haven't been to the theater for weeks—but I mean to see 'The Vampire' the very next matinee I go to." Well, the other two girls exchanged expressive glances and let it go at that and Miss Fluffy trotted away complacently, never dreaming what a "show" she had succeeded in making of herself. To pretend to know people whom one does not know and to pretend to go to places where one was never invited, seems the very height of silliness—but lots of women do it and most of them are women who ought to be so far above that sort of thing that it would never enter their heads. Genuineness and sincerity are delightful virtues. The old Latin marble cutters had a trick of filling up flaws in their marble with wax, and to protect themselves, the more honest cutters marked their blocks "sine cera"—without wax. And from this comes the word sincere. Pretended knowledge is just that form of insincerity which most hurts the character of the pretender—and what good can it be since the world does not measure you for what you know, nor do you win friends by wisdom only. Don't pretend—it's right for the children in their play, but it is woefully ridiculous in a grown-up.

A little over-vigorous, perhaps, but true enough in its essence. Of course when you are very young you hate to appear ignorant of a subject which seems perfectly familiar to those about you, but if you are wise you will acknowledge your ignorance rather than pretend to be knowing, for it is the easiest thing in the each pretense. The worst of it is, the person under is usually kind-hearted enough to say sets you go on your way with your conceit under, the observer has his own opinion of yourering one.

Many persons find themselves with a disorder of the stomach which produces dyspepsia or a peculiar state of biliessness. If you suffer from both stomach trouble and constipation you are on the way to a very serious disease. From just such conditions come appendicitis, rheumatism, skin diseases and staphylococcus infection, a factor that should have been dispelled from the system through the bowels has found its way into the blood and bile, and the colitis that is not simply a violent cathartic tablet or good, which usually does more harm than good, but a gentle laxative tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which people have 'een using' on these diseases is not simply a smart of a ture.

AN INTERESTING PAINT TEST There is a very simple and interesting chemical test by which to detect impurity in paint materials. Thousands and thousands of people, all over the country, are making this test. It is a sure way to safeguard against the many adulterated white leads which are on the market. Any one can make the test—all that is needed is a simple little instrument which may be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Building, New York, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit No. 49. The cuttin includes also a set of color schemes for exterior or interior painting, or both, if you wish, and a book of specifications. No houseowner should make any arrangements for painting till he gets this outfit. One can't expect a satisfactory painting job without pure white lead. There is a way to make sure you're getting a pure white lead—without testing it. See that the keg bears National Lead Company's famous Dutch Boy Painter trademark, which is a positive guarantee of purity. Your dealer probably has this white lead. If not let National Lead Company know. Locations of Promotion. Elzena, aged four, revealed in kindergarten lore, and each day imparted to her young mother the many interesting things that the sweet-faced teacher had told them.

One of the most singular wills ever recorded was that of a British sailor who requested his executives to give his wife a shilling to buy hazelnuts, as she had always preferred cracking them to mending his stockings. More subtle, however, was the sarcasm of a will proved in 1830, in which a wife was left $2,500, but was only to enjoy it after her death in order that 'she may be buried suitably as my widow'. A French merchant bequeathed a large fortune to a woman of his acquaintance to show his gratitude for her refusal to marry him 20 years be fore. Homage to Brawn The triumphs of the scholar the public regards as individual; the prowess of the athlete is popularly held to establish the name and fame of his college. Of course, this is unreasonable, for the reputation of a university as an institution of learning should depend upon the liberal education she gives to those within her gates. But it is quite true that, despite the excellent reasons why it should not do so, the public continues to pay homage to brawn rather than brain, in so far as the undergraduate is concerned special Master E. V. Mckeever hired report to this effect in the supreme ..SUBSCRIBE FOR..

Women's Sweet Laughter A woman has no natural grace more bewitching than a sweet laugh. It is like the sound of flutes on the water; it leaps from her heart in a clear sparkling rill, and the heart that hears it feels as if bathed in the cool exhilarating spring. How much we owe to that sweet laugh! It turns the prose of our life into poetry; it flings showers of sunshine over the darksome wood in which we are traveling; it touches with light our sleep which is no more the image of death, but gemmed with dreams that are the shadow of immortality.—Exchange Antiquity of the Sausage. The sausage dates back to the year 897. It has been asserted that the Greeks in the days of Homer manufactured sausages, but this prehistoric mixture had nothing in common with our modern product. The ancient so-called sausage was composed of the same materials which enter into the make-up of the boudin of the French market and the blood pudding of the French-Canadian. The ancient sausage was enveloped in the stomachs of goats. Not until the tenth century did the sausage made of hashed pcrk become known. It was in or near the year 1500 that, thanks to the introduction into Germany of cinnamon and saffron, the sausages of Frankfort and Strassburg acquired a universal reputation. Queen Adelaide, the wife of William IV., was a woman of great piety and exceptional humility, which was shown in the directions for her funeral. "I die in all humility," she wrote, "knowing well we are all alike before the throne of God, and request, therefore, that my mortal remains be conveyed to the grave without any pomp or ceremony. They are to be moved to St. George's chapel, Windsor, where I request to have a quiet funeral. "I particularly desire not to be laid cut in state, and the funeral to take place by daylight; no procession, the coffin to be carried by sailors to the chapel. I die in peace, and wish to be carried to the tomb in peace, and free from the vanities and the pomp of the world." -Home Notes. A Knowing Dog. "Now," said the narrator, "I've got a dog here I would not take $100 for. You can believe me or not, but what I am going to tell you is the gospel truth. In the early part of last spring I lost about a score of very valuable sheep, until one day as I was looking across from my house to the edge of the range opposite, about two miles away, I noticed some sheep. I got my telescope, and assured myself that they were mine. I placed the telescope in a suitable position, and made Bob, our best collie, look through it. After about a minute the dog wagged his tail and made off. In less than two hours he brought the sheep home safe and sound." Sensation in "Mystery Ship." Sydney, Australia, has had a novelty in the shape of a "mystery ship." An American steamer, the Coronet, arrived by night in the harbor unsignaled and unannounced. It was peopleled by a strange-looking crowd of men, women and children. The officers were dressed in clerical attire, long coats and white ties. Nobody was allowed on board save the government medical officer and the harbor master. The Sydney reporters ascertained that the ship is connected with the newest American sect, the "Holy Ghost and Us," whose head, a man named Stanford, claiming to be the reincarnated Elijah, is on board. The Coronet has been cruising for some months among the Pacific islands.
