THE GLOBE is going along in its
quaint way, and every mail brings from
one to a half dozen requests for this
album of song. These letters come from
all over the United States. To print all
we have received would fill a page and a
half of this paper.
This morning the mail brought the
following, which we print as a sample.
We do this simply to show all repudia-
tors, that THE GLOBE is not 81 badly re-
pudiated as it was supposed by some.
We also call attention TO the fact that
those sending the wealth want it for

DEAR SIR enclose you herewith
postal note for fifty cents, for which
kindly send me THE GLOBE for such a
period as said sum will pay the subscrip-
ton.
Having been for years a resident of

in her prosperity, and especially in her
democratic ~ascendency, and am pleased
to know that THE GLOBE still strikes
manfullY at the great pension fraud.
That | may have the pleasure of read
ing the doings of the campaign AS fully
as possible, l would like, if possible, for
my subscription to date back to about

LOAD YOUR GUN.

When will the burglars leave ~the.coun-
try, or let up on their midnight depre-
dations is the question which most
greatly exercises many Of our citizens
to-day, and particularly that portion of
the community composed of defenseless
women and children.
This class of petty thieves who steal in
bedrooms and dining room during mid
night darkness to pilfer a hat, a clock, a
lady's dress, or perchanCe a childs under
garment, are more perniciOus pests than
tn. highwayman who preys only on the
strong, and takes his life in his hand, when
he tells another man to stand and de-
liver" 1t is the difference between the
sneak thief and the bold rogue who plays
for a big stake, and of the two, we pre-
fer the latter. The one frightens women,
whose nature It's to scream--the other,
men, who nave no business with fear.
Unfortunately, both branches of burg
larry seem now to be the prevailing cpl
demic, and we believe it is as much an
epidemic as measles or small pox, over a
great portion of the country.
Papers from everywhere are filled with
accounts of robbers, large and small.
But a week ago ten boys, ranging from
fifteen to twenty years old, were SEN
fenced to the Georgia penitentiary in
one day for organized thieving, At Bur
lington, other places close at hand and
here in Durham, they have gotten in
some Of their work.
Load your guns, and if anybody pOlks
his head in your dark room without a
proper password, ask no questions, but
| give him the contents instantly. If peo-
pie outlw themselves, let them take the
consequences. 1t is not only your right,
but a second duty to protect your tireside
from such villainous scurf Of the earth.

The "Sooner."

A few weeks ago the Lake Traverse
reservation, and yesterday the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservations were opened
to white settlement For days prior to
the dates of opening, settlers and spec
ulators were crowding about the border
in readiness for a rush when the signal
should come from detachment OF the
regular army which was experimenting
this ''catch-as-catch-can" distribution OK
land; and all the wild scenes OF the
Oklahoma opening were repeated.
The sooner" too, was there.
The "sooner" is new term, but it de.
scribes an old parasite. When reser-
walton is to be opened, the sooner Sc
cretly crosses the border in advance,
and with the advantage this gives him
secures choice place before any OF
those who wait for the rush can posi-.
bly, select what they want That Is the
sooner of the reservation country.
Elsewhere he does his ''sooning" openly
and above board. He is even regarded
by some people as philosophical man,
who takes up land, and by boarding IL
in, mailing it down, tying it up. or other
wise preventing it from running into the
sea or flying of into space, "holds 1t un-
til it is wanted" John Jacob Aston was
a typical sooner" Finding that there
was a great deal of land on Manhattan
island which no one needed at the time,
and fearing that it might depart like
thief in the night, he obtained possess
sion of some of it and held it till more
people came and paid him Handsomely
for his foresight The Astor family
has been a family of ''sooners" ever
since. Observing that the land most
needed in New York city is along what
is called the backbone, and intending
] to do all the good in their power, they
have left it to others to prevent the es-
cape of the land on each side, them-
selves holding tenaciously to the back
bone, and in advance of its demand for
use taking possession of more and more
of it before any suspicion that it would
be in demand could prompt it to run
away. Doubtless there are in every city
and growing town one or more 'soon-
ers'' like the Astors.
But we appreciate our ''sooners-" We
protect them by our courts, and keep
their taxes down to the lowest point,
fearing that If we did not they would
grow respondent and resentful, and by
abandoning our vacant land allow 1t to
run off and hide Not so with Uncle
Sam. He actually sends soldiers after
his ''sooners. to drive them from the
reservations His policy is bad. Some
time when he opens a reservation, hav-
ing excluded the ''sooners," all that va
cant land will have gone to parts un-
known while the anxious settlers were
waiting at the boundary line for per-
mission to lay hold upon piece.-The

AN UNKNOWN HEMISPHERE.
What Is on the Other Side of the Moon
Its Surface Unknown.

What Is on the Other Side of the Moonf
Its Surface Unknown.
Astronomers have often made photo
graphs of the moon. Its Typography,
so to speak, has been pretty well
mapped out and described. We trace
the pictures of the craters of extinct
volcanoes and the low beds of oceans
that have evaporated and disappeared.
One side of the moon, however, and one
side only, is toward our world. The
other side looks outward toward the
all-surrounding infinite. OF the hemis-
phere which is opposite to the earth we
know nothing. We cannot say what
may be it's physical conformation
what lights and shadows play over its
surface. or how far it resembles the
side which is visible to the terrestrial
observer. Joseph Cook has well said
that all truths are spherical. And it
would seem as though they present.
ed but one side to the human mind.
This is particularly the case with the
higher truths. Take, for instance, the
nature and attributes of God. The re is
one side of the Divine nature that is
turned toward us and partly illuniined
by revelation; but there is another side
which no man has seen or can see. We
NAV reason to some extent from the
known to the unknown. We may infer
from analogy that the moons disc
which is visible to us is not unlike that
which monthly wakes and wanes in our
sky; but that is as far as we can go.
We see in part, and we know in part.
Concerning the unknown hemisphere
we may reason somewhat, but are for
hidden to dogmatize. Is not election
one of those lunar truths of which we
see only the hemisphere that is turned
toward us? Preterition is the other
side, of which nothing is visible to our
world.-Interior

BRITISH ARMS.
Modification OF Swords in Use by Arm
Officers.

Modification of Swords In Use by Army
Officers.
The latest illustration of the changes
constantly occurring in the conditions
of modern warfare is an order just is
sued from the British war Office substi-
tuting swords of a new pattern for the
weapons which have been carried by
officers since the days of the Iron Duke.
With view to efficiency at close quar-
ters the blade of the old sword was
sharpened throughout the whole length
of its edge, and on the back for some
seven or eli ght inches from the point,
the idea being to make it available for
cutting as well as thrusting. In order
to increase it's strength it was also
slightly curved, and was formidable
weapon, though somewhat light in
comparison with the more massive serv.
ice swords of continental infantry off,
GERS. In the new sword the blade is
perfectly str aight, its shaft being set in
a roomy hilt, SOU AIRED to give play to the
wrist in guarding and thrusting, the
mode of fighting recommended to un-
mounted off GERS of the present day on
actual service, who are taught to regard
cutting as an obsolete method of attack.
Only about ten inches of the edge from
the point, and six inches Of the back,
are sh arpened, the rest of the blade
being blunt and rounded for parryine
purposes, and having, therefore, no cut
ting capacity whatsoever. The new reg
ulntion sword, in fact. is exclusively a
thrusting and gu arding weapon-a sor,
OF rapier, double-edged for about a
fourth of its blade length in order tc
facilitate penetration when its "wearer
gives point" but useless as an arm
wherewith to strike swinging blow

NOT GUILTY..
An Interesting Case of Ciroum-
stautial Evidence.


never had case that interested me
more than that of Clinton Dyer. He
was slim, thin boy of fifteen, and
poorly dressed, when first saw him as
he stood up in court and pleaded not
guilty to charge of robbery. He had
no money and no lawyer, and the judge
appointed me to defend him.
You'll find he hasn't any Defense"
said the district attorney to me, as we
walked down street ut the recess.
1.-THE facts are, that old Mixer, the
miser, had received three thousand dol
lars, payment on a mortgage, and was
taking it over to Putney bank, the only
one he has any confidence in, to deposit
it till he could get another investment.
He is too mean to go by the stage, for
that would cost half a dollar, so he de-
cided to walk. He started late in the
afternoon, and about twilight he was
overtaken by a gang of fellows who
came running along, whooping and
shouting. He was seized by the shoulder
and thrown down, and the bag con-
tanning the money wrenched away
from him. He was not hurt at all, and
only frightened for the safety of his
money-which troubles him great
deal more than his own salvation does
and he jumped up, and throwing out
his hands caught hold of Clinton Dyer
and held him fast. The young fellow
struggled hard, but the old man was
able to hold him, yelling murder till help
arrived, and the lad was captured. The
others got clear away, and nothing has
been heard nor is known of any of them.
A clear case, You see."
That afternoon went to the Jail and
had an interview with the boy. His
thin face and anxious eyes made me
pity him, and with the district attor-
ney's statement fresh in my mind, l
said, little brusquely:
well, my lad, I'm willing to do all /
:an for you; but if what they say about
you is true, the best thing You can do is
TO plead guilty, and tell the names of
the others that were with YOU. BY do
ing this, l think you will get light
sentence. What doyou say? The pub
lie prosecutor thinks he has a clear case
against you, but he also thinks it will
20 easy with you if you take this
course"
~ can't plead guilty, sir. I'm not
guilty"
Twas a little shaken by his tone and
manner. He talked and looked like an
innocent person, of that was assured.
But what lawyer ever trusted appear
ances?
Tell me all about it," said. RE.

He said he was the only child of q

with few dollars in his pocket. He
