A Case where the AstroIogy Racket Did
Not Work.

a Case ASIrOlOkY Racket
Not Work.
The brown-eyed. blonde young wom-
an from the west had charmed swell
young man with her large and com.
modious fortune, and he was doing all
in his power to win her, says the De-
troit Free Press. She wasn't fool by
a great deal, and that made it ninety
per cent. more difficult for him, and
forced him to develop all his resources.
At last he struck upon q plan which he
thought had the prize package in it.
81 have never told you. he said to
her one evening, .'that long before
ever saw you fate had directed me to
you. -
'.Indeedo" she responded, SO sim
cerely that his heart beat faster. and
her face blushed at the compliment.
yes, and it came about in a remark
able way. just for fun, one day, 1 con-
suited an astrologist, and she told ne
that would never care for any woman
until l had met one who was then only
a schoolgirl, a beautiful, golden-haired
creature, with wonderful brown eyes.
whose home was toward the setting
sun. l laughed at the prophecy, but i
found that the words of the seer were
true, for 1 never cared for any woman
until i saw you"
Then he stopped, embarrassed and
palpitating. thinking she would fall
into his arms. But she did not; on the
contrary, she snickered.
''Are you sure your astrological
friend spoke of a golden-haired school
girl?'' she asked.
'.How could 1 ever forget?' he re-
sponded, intensely.
You couldn't, probably, she twit-
tered; ''only. when was schoolgirl
wasn't golden-haired. I've only been
using blondine for the last year, don't
you know?r And then heavy weight
seemed to fall on him and he staggered
away.

Coxey the bland, Coxey the impreg-
nable, Coxey the enthusiast has started
for Washington with his tatterel ''army."
People out in Ohio treat the affair as a
huge joke but there may be some serious
features connected with it before Wash
ington is reached. The fact that some
of the sherifs have decided not to per-
NIT the regiment of tramps to cross their
territories and will call on the troops if
necessary, does not augur we'll for even
the sanguine and foxey Coxey.

MONEY IN A MONKEY FARM.
But the Ignorance of Banker Prevents
Its establishment.

Its establishments.
ssThe funniest thing l witnessed
during the brief but exciting period
known as the boom, in Birmingham,
Ala" said DIR. Everett to a st. Louis
Globe-Democrat reporter, was the
formation of a company to establish a
monkey farm. About the time the ex-
citement was at its greatest two bank
ers from country town came with
forty thousand dollars in cash and
were very anxious to get into the little
group of capitalists who were making
big money. They haunted two or
three of the leading investors until
finally DIR. jackson. who stood at the
head of the local financial world, told
them he had a friend with a. scheme in
which he himself was putting in
twenty thousand dollars, and if they
really wanted to invest he could, as d
personal favor, secure like amount if
one-half was paid down, the other half
to be paid in at a meeting to be held
in few days.
E'The banker wrote. a check for ten
thousand dollars, and felt jubilant that
at last he had been admitted into the
charmed circles of financiers. In a few
days he was notified to attend meet
| lIS O1 OuC MiiCh AiS NtiO.
! Then the promoter of the enterprise
explained it. His plan was TO buy an
island near Mobile, send an expedi-
tion to Africa and South America to
secure monkeys, stock the farms with
\ one hundred thousand monkeys, and
raise them for the market.
II IAN elaborate array of statistics was
i given, showing the cost and market
price of monkeys and figuring out inn
mense profits, but it was necessary
! that the entire amount subscribed
should be paid at once. The banker

done, and he swallowed his 'chargi1

he could. In a few weeks the money wa

that it was all joke, but the banke

The Gothenburg system of regulating
the liquor traffic must be pronounced a
failure in the United States, as the
trouble in South Carolina attests. Gov.
Tillman himself is antagonistic to the
measure, though he is making all the
efforts in his power to preserve order
within the state. Prohibitionists will
realize as never before the extent of an
dagonism with which they have to con-
tend, when, though it is shame to say it.,
state troops refuse to be marshaled
against the rioters of Darlington and
Florence.

Prince Cnar,g, Rewarded

The Cologne Gazette tells an inter
esting story about Prince Charles of
Hohenzollern, who has just become en-
gagged to daughter of the count of
Flanders. Three years ago the prince,
in the course of a tour in the east,
came to Constantinople and was the
object of much hospitable attention on
the part of the sultan. In the COM
oany of Abdul Hamid, the prince was
passing through a corridor at Yildiz
Kiosk, hung with armor, when shield
somehow at the moment got detached
from the wall, and threatened to fall
on the Padishab's head. Quick as
lightning the prince sprang forward
and caught the buclxler in its fall, for
which act of promptitude the COM
mander of the faithful hastened to con-
fer upon his visitor the gold apd silver
Intraz medal, which is only given for
acts of special distinction.

The utter folly of trials of strength be-
tween man and man is shown by the
episode of Saturday night at the East
End. A hand-to hand fight never es-
tablishes principle, and only shows the
accident of who of the two is the strong
est. The evil of it is, in this case, for
instance, that one is MANNED for life and
the other has a brilliant prospect for
serving term of years in the peniten-
tiary. 1t Is mistake to suppose it. is
manly to fight.

The, ,Armenians are one of the Oldest
races in the world. Their country is
mentioned by Xenophon and Eek iel,
and in the cuneiform inscriptions of
Babylon and'Assyria. All the nations
that surrounded them have passed
away, but they remain, though their
country has been harried with fire and
sword for centuries The permanence
of the Armenian race has been ascribed
to the virtue of their women and the
exceptional purity and stability of
their family life. Even in their heather
days polygamy was unknown to them.
They have been Christian nation for
more than fifteen hundred years, and
have undergone perpetual persecution
for their faith from the surrounding
oriental people.

Five Cent Cotton Hurts Everybody
