GOODBYE GRAB-BAG.

The legislature of Kansas in passing
a sweeping bill to wipe out lotteries,
has thrown the meshes of the legisla-
tive net about the neck of the church
grab bag, and dragged it ashore
This is indeed sad In many localities
in Kansas this same grab-bag has been
the active and potent protoplasm of
society There have been cases where
the social swim has become stagnant
and gathered a green scum on its sur
face; where the round of gaiety and
unrestrained social merriment has
been supplanted and deadened by the
matter-Of-fact domestic cares of the
day; where the liege lord has come to
regard the twilight patching Of the
worn sock as a redundancy of social
amusement for his wife.
Often in such cases of social ceSSa-
ton, the grab-bag with its complement
Of delicious uncertainties ana droll sur
prises, has dashed into the breach and
set society in that particular village
"agog."
But the great, rough, sinewy, corded
hand of legislative tyranny has grab
bed the grab-bag and choked it to
death. 1t is gone forever. No more
will the red-cheeked country swain
surrender his dime and then shoot his
fist into the unknown bourne from
which no dime ever returns, and pull
out a pin-cushion that looks like it had
been put through threshing machine
running backwards. No more will the
village bachelor sock his hand into the
four-sack and yank out a pair of
1ady'S garters and furnish the people
with talk for years after. No more
will the soft-eyed, dimpled country girl
cajole the unwilling coin from her
pocket in order to pull
the natives of the Oolontilo out of their
depths of savagery to the heights of
Christianity, by swelling the mission
airy fund.
That is all gone by. The grab-bag
must go. 1t has in its makeup an evil
element. 1t enticeS men to take
chances and it is wrong for men to take
chances. He takes no chance in birth,
love nor life; preferment and progress
are cut-and-dried; and luck is super
stition- That is the suppositiOn of the
legislator, and the fjn-de-
steele legislator must know.

AFRICAN DIAMOND MINES.
From the Denver News.

From the Denver News.
There is no show to buy stolen dia-
monds at the present time, said Colo
RADIO prospector, recently. The fact is
the entire diamond-bearing district Of
south Africa has been walled in by q
high stone wall and nobody is allowed
to pass in or out unless he is subjected
to the closest scrutiny. Inside the wall
are ten thousand negroes, who are Sc
cured for periods of six months at a
time to work in the mines. The ne
groes are fed on corn-meal and are
paid fifty or sixty cents day. They
come from the interior of the country,
five hundred or perhaps one thousand
miles away, and are ordered TO the
mines by the chiefs Of the tribes on
pain of instant death if they refuse.
The agent of the diamond syndicate
pays the chief liberal amount for his
aid in sending workers to the mines
and the poor ignorant negroes have no
alternative but to obey. Once inside
the gloomy walls the black man has no
chance of escape and he delves like q
galley slave until his six months have
entire delegation from one tribe
marches home across the deserts in a
body. 1t is seldom that black is seen
q second time in the mines.
There is a very satisfactory reason,
so.faras the individual is concerned.
why he never returns. The diamond
miner carries home with him money
enough to buy several wives II he is
careful OF his earnings he has enough
hard cash 10 buy four wives, and that
Is the summit of his ambition Any
negro owning four wives is exempt
from labor for the remainder of his
DAYS He is known as a gentleman"
MS wives do ali the work for him. and
he poses as one of the big men of the
tribe.
This is, of course, a strong induce
ment for black man 10 go'to the
mines. but the chances are that he will
die from exposure or fall into bad COM
pany and lose his n saey. so the uabobs
are not as numerous a. one might sup
pose. VeSy little IS known o; what is

REFORM FOR OUR ANGELS.

Some eastern dude with a gangrened
conscience has come out with theory
that our angels are all wrong. He
takes up the seraphims of Angelo and
other high-class dagoes, and points out
that the wings of the angels are placed
upon their shoulders. Now he declares
that 10 angel could ever scoot off
through the blue empyrean with his
wings tied on in that fashion-that is
unless you amend the law of gravity.
An angel, according to this fellow,
with pair of big wings glued on his
shoulder blades would find that the
weight would carry his head down and
he would go gliding around with his
feet pOked up into the clouds and his
features raking across pastures and
green meadows.
He declares that if Angelo and the
other artists had been onto their jobs,
they would have located the wings on
the small Of the back. Such an ar
rangement would enable the aforesaid
angel, being balanced, to scurry along
on a dead line. If he wanted to go up
or come down, he couldn't do it, but
would just have to founder about in
thin air and dig his toes in the soft
plant atmosphere without effect
While this all sounds plausible, some
muscular man should take an old sock,
fill it with hot mud and steal up on this
angel-refOrmer and swipe him on the
back of the neck
If there is one thing above criticism
it is an angel. 1t is all wrong to sup
pose that they are handicapped by the
law Of gravity or the law of dress or
the law Of anything else. 1t would be
just as reasonable to claim that angels
lit on the branches of trees and held on
by curling their toe-nails about the
bark, as to raise this discussion as to
whether their wings are tackled on
right.
Leave our angels alone This age
may be severely practical, but it has
no business in picking flaws with an
old-established institution such as
angels are.
Of course we all know that If Helen
Cougar could have her way she would
have all her angels fioundering about
in the nebulous distance clad in bloom
ers, such is her luminosity to the flow
ing skirt, but thank heaven. Helen
Cougar and the eastern dude who
wants to transfer the location of the
wings. are not forging the worlds
opinions.

CONVICTION IN THE PUBLIC MIND.

One very peculiar element in the pub
lie mind can be observed in the case of
Bill Dalton. The best of evidence at
hand is TO the effect that Bill Dalton is
not dead. Now the strange part about
this is that nobody will believe that be
is alive, no matter how much evidence
is shown in support of the statement.
Dalton was an outlaw. He commit
ted several deeds which brought him
at once into public notice Immediate
ly the authorities began TO kill him
He was killed at least once week for
two months and finally it was an
nounced that he had been killed for the
last time. Since then the custom Of
killing him has ceased and the public
has determined TO believe that the last
time he was reported 10 be killed, he
was certainly killed.
1t is believed among many men of in
formation in oklahoma and the In
dian Territory that Bill Dalton is in
Mexico alive. They do not say so be-
cause they would be laughed at The
pGOlic has determined that Dalton is
dead and that settles it If Dalton
should make affidavit himself that he
was alive the public would not accept
the affidavit as valid. The explanation
OF Dalton's supposed death-that his
wife could not come into q considera bic
fortune left by her father until the
death of her wild husband-would be
regarded by the public as a pretty
romance and nothing more.
The men who furnish news TO the
world from Oklahoma had 4 hard
time persuading the public that Bill
Dalton had actually been killed. Now.
although they are almost certain that
he is alive. they do not dare 10 try TO
convince the public that he is.
