FIRST AMERICAN ANARCHIST.
James FeW's Uprising to Overthrow
Government in Colonial DAYS.

! UOKefnnltnt Ill DdNSs
There is q general impression that the
Anarchist is a foreign importation, and
that Johann Most IS the first of the An
archists of this country. As a matter Of
fact, the first Anarchist in the United
States was an American of English an
cestry, and he lived very long while
ago as we Americans reckon history.
James Few was his name. He was q
thrifty, Industrious carpenter, born in
South Carolina about the middle of the
last century. His parents were simple,
honest people, and he was their only
child. AS he grew up he became their
support. When James Few had grown
to manhood there came q new Governor
to the Colony Of Carolina. He was
Governor Tryon.
He had a way of clapping on extra
taxes upon every preteXt, which was
something the simple people of the
colony could not appreciate. In fact it
became very difficult for them to get
enough to eat, and drinking was out of
the question if they were to pay the
taxes. Now, you may sometimes reduce
q
fully object. but wiseacres let mans
propensity to drink severely alone, or
else prepare for squalls.
TO James Few the conduct of Tryon
seemed an outrage. He had no L13h
knowledge of any sort, out few years
later great many others, who did have
a great deal of knowledge, agreed with
him and started the great Revolution that
founded the United States.
But the first anarch went further. 1t
seemed to him that law was the cause Of
all the trouble. He thought if all the
Governors were abolished the people
would get along very nicely by them
selves. They needed no government to
collect taxes; in fact, there should be no
taxes. He did not stop with thinking.
He talked to his companions at his work.
bench until he had won over great many
of them.
One day friend of Governor Tryon's
was brought before him accused of
several heinous otfenses. The Governor
made farce of his punishment by order
ing the prisoner to pay fine OF one
penny for each offense. This was the
last straw. The good loyal people be-
came indignant. James Few and his
companions felt that the opportunity had
come to test their theory. They armed
and set about capturing the
Governor. But rumor of the proposed
uprising reached the Capital. Summary
measures were taken. The troops We're
called out and the followers of James
Few fell like the summer grass. James
Few himself was captured, and without
even the farce of trial was hanged to
forest tree.
The people at once dispersed but the
seeds of the great Revolution were sown,
and a few years later grew up and over
turned the old form Of government.
But poor James Few was not the only
one who suffered from his unselfish de-
sire to help his fellows. The little prop
erty which his domestic virtues had en-
abled him to accumulate was confscated,
and his aged parents were obliged to end
their days in an almshouse.-L New York

the oarsmen stopped rowing in order to
steady the boats, which, however, by
this time had got up such speed that they
passed each other at tremendous rate.
At the moment of meeting, each of the
combatants, who had long since dropped
their banners and lifted their lances,
aimed at the target on the others shield:
There was a crash Of boards that could
be heard mile away, and, head over
heels, shield aud all, one man went into
the water, and great shout rose from
the black line Of fishing craft and from
the crowded banks. Then in the blue
lake a shield was seen floating in one di-
rcction, man swimming vigorously in
the other, and on the winning boat the
victor stood high above the oarsmen, his
arms extended, strong and athletic as
young Hercules. Cen ury.

THE STREET TRAIN ORDERED IN.

The trailing street dress is not going
to devastate the land. The indications
during the summer were that it might,
and there was much unhappiness in con-
sequence. This was one of the most in
comprehensive edicts of fashion that the
mind of man had been disturbed with
for some time, and his protest was loud
against 1t from the outset. But mans
influence in this case, as in others like it,
was not powerful, and the trailing street
dress threatened to sweep all before it,
as it did everything behind it. The pull
pit Numbered against the street train,
the press stepped on it, but it moved on
as if it we're the admiration Of every eye.
