I would rather have half 4 loaf.in
South Carolina than a whole loaf in
Texas in some or most Of the sections
that | was in. Of course, there are
some good sections, and it is q great
State, and good place to make money
if you have money, but to 90 there and
dig it out Of the ground is an up hill
business. What l have said above re-
fers to the farming interests only, for |
believe all others are making money
at the expense Of the farmer. One
farmer told me that 100 per cent. was
nothing for them to pay, and that they
frequently paid 200 per cent and do
say that the farmers in this State and
in this section in particular don't tknow
what good thing they have. If they
were to try it once out there they
would see it as do.
The happiest man saw, J think, in
my trip, was q man and his family
who boarded The train at Henrietta for
Arkansas or Alabama for his old home.
He just smiled all over his counte-
nance. They even had their dog with
them, and l verify believe majority
would come back if they had the

The st. Louis Republic never waits
to be driven along the path of pro-
gress by sharp competition, but keeps
so far in the lead that competition is
an impossibility. Its first bold and
original departure was the publication
of its weekly in five separate edi tions
-one for Missouri, one for Illinois, one
for Texas, one for Arkansas and Kan
sas. and another for the rest of the
Union. Next it made the Weekly Re
public senai-aoeekly, issuing it every
Tuesday and Friday in sections of six
pages each. Then it established a
special Tariff Department, edited by
the Hon. w. L. Wilson, one of the
ablest of the Democratic leaders in
Congress. Now, it announces that
each of these striking and original
features will continue permanently,
and, in addition to all this, that two
more pages will soon be ADDED to one
issue each week. so as to give sub
scribers to the s"rwice- a. Week" Re.
public fourteen pages regularly every
week FOR ONLY ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
Besides these special attractions,
which no other paper in the country
can offer, it's general merits as news
paper are unequaled. Sample copies
will be sent free on applfcatiun.

very good. a group of street urchins by
Marie Bashkirtseff {you remember the
account of her in the Century, was quite
pictures to tell about.
After lunch we went to see the Gobelin
tapestry worss, and saw them making it. /.
Twas exceedingly interesting-the men
spend a whole day ,king only a few
square inches. The weaving is all done
by hand, OF course. Some of the work
was exquisite. There We're portraits and
copies of great pictures, and, at a dis
tance, you could not possibly tell them
from paintings. This was all in silk,
Be sides that they were maxi ng carpets.
There they work on he right sight,
bring all the threads out on the right
sight, then shear it until it looks like yell
vet. The mandatory is run by the gov
ernment. The tapestry is used for pres
ents to foreign powers, and for state oc-
casions generally.
From there we walked through the
herse market. A man came up and asked
Miss d if she didn't want to buy horse.
She told him, mot to-day Then
what did we proceed to do but go to the
.Garden of Plants" and see the animals
like children at circus. There were
bears, panthers, monkeys, tigers, lions;
and birds of every sort, besides zebras,
antelopes, buffalo and a dromedary. 1t

kinds in st. Louis, but, perhaps, l was
more of a child then and things looked
bigger.
Coming home we took little steam
boat on the Seine, and had another view
of the city, as we glided along under
bridges. Paris is poorly lighted it seems
to us. There are few electric lights,
mostly common gas lamp posts, and not
too many of them. There are no electric
or cable cars either, just horse cars. and
omni5uses. Can it be that Paris is ''be-
hind the times?'

a FIGHT WITH MUSKRATS,
A Fish erman I'm Ohio Has q Remarkable.
Experience.

A Fisherman I'm Ohio Has q Remarkabl
Experience.
Samuel LOTUS spent day on the
banks of Hogan creek fishing. He was
not very successf~', and as the sur
dropped down in the west he laid the
two fish he had caught on the bank and
meandered up the creek. He returned
in short time only to discover that the
fish were gone.
Samuel was angered at this, and he
made up his mind to find those fish il
they were anywhere in the neighbor.
hood Finally he saw the tail of one Oh
the fish protruding from beneath a
ledge of rock just at the waters edge.
Lotus at once began to tear away the
rock and earth from above the fish,
when to his surprise he discovered a
nest of muskrats nearly full-grown.
The young rodents had pulled the fish
into their hole as far as their size would
permit and had begun to make meal
of them.
When LOTUS broke into their hiding.
place the baby rats began to squeal in
fright, and the cries attracted the at
tention of the parent rats, who were in
the neigborhood. With screams the
little animals, anxious to save their
young, attacked the farmer, swapping
with their long, sharp teeth at his hands
and arms. Their cries attracted other
rats near by. and from dozen nests
came answering cries that foretold a
united attack on the common enemy.
Before LOTUS could realize his danger
the fierce little animals were all around
him, biting his face, neck and limbs.
The farmer yelled with pain and struck
and stamped and kicked at the rats, but
they hung on like so many bulldogs
until he was bleeding from score OF
wounds.
Faint from fright and loss of blood,
the young farmer knew that his only
hope was in fight, and, with dozen of
the fierce assailants still clinging to
him, he staggered down the stream,
leaving the little animals victors of the
field Lotus killed many of the rats in
his desperate fight, but when one fell
another took it's place. AS if by in
stinct they sought to bite his throat,
and it was only by shielding this vital
portion of his body at the expense of
his hands and arms that Lotus got
away yalive.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

IN THE FROZEN 4

Lecture by Miss OIOf krarer, q Native
EsIuimaux.
Miss Olof Krarer, n native Esquimaux
woman, talked at Encore hall yesterday
afternoon and last night On the dwarf-like
people of her native land, the frozen north.
The afternoon talk was to the school teach
ers and school children. The audiences on
both occasions were large. Forty inches is
the exact height of Miss Krarer. On the
platform she looked slightly taller. Her
features are dark but not swarthy, and are
crowned with n ~coiffnre Of light, almost
golden hair, parted on the forehead without
bangs; her eyes are large and her hands are
chubby with unnaturaliy short and curved
arms. The figure is plump. Six months
ago she knew nothing of the English an
gusge. Now she speaks it very well. Miss
Krarer dresses in the latest style. though
during her lecture she put on her native
costume, to show the audience how an Els
quimaux belle looked on dress parade.
Judge Nelson introduced Miss Krarer to
the audience. She told them she was born
in Greenland, and when Ii years Of age she
left that country and crossed the frozen sea
on a dogsled to Iceland, where she was cd
rfcated Mt q mission school. When 20 years
old she went to Manitoba and several years

compelled to live in a room partly filed with
ice until she became ~accl1mated. In her
native land there were neither preachers,
doctors, lawyers, nor rulers of any kind,
and the people never washed them
selves. In Iceland she was handed
a piece of soap and not knowing
it's use put it in her mouth. No attention is
paid to the sick in Greenland. The people
say spirits have those who are unwell. The
aged and infirm are treated the saae way.
Ii the sick and disabled get well they are
III Il hole and their spears and fufs with
them. The Greenlander's only food is
meat, blubber, oil II blood. and is never
cooked. There ID no WOO and no matches.
Fire, are lighted by flint, and the owner of
a piece of that article is considered rich. A
man four feet high is a giant among his
people. When II man wants Il wife he steals
her. Ii the parents catch him at it they
kill him, and nothing is ever done to
the girl to his own hut the par
ents consider him smart and respect
him for it. There is no other marriage
ceremony beyond the stealing, but q man is
bound for life to the wife so obtained.
Desertion is punished with death.
The year in Greenland is divided into
three periods-daylight, night, and twi-
light. During the two months of twilight
the Esguimaux obtain the food which is to
last them through the long day and night.
They dare not go out during the long day
suns fierce glare on the frozen snow.
Miss krarer is a pleasant taiker and quite
interesting, while at times she is amusing
in her references. The lectures were under
the auspices Of the Young Mems Christian
association.
