trusive visitor who had worn out his well

business and would say to the guest, L

not bad, except in comparison with the
superb stratagcm ascribod to Gerrit Smith

KOHLSAAT'S BREAD SIGNS.
An Amusing Incident of the Chicago An
archy Scare Recalled.

"Chicago is so thoroughly recovered
from the anarchy scare" said an attorney
while waiting for the court to arrive,
''that it can afford to laugh at many
things that happened about ten years ago
Il remember that about a year before
the Haymarket bomb was thrown the
town was considerably worked up over the
anarchist meetings on the lake front, the
professions with red banners and all that
There was considerable talk about the So
cial revolution, and the leaders of the
movement were becoming very prominent
"One morning when camo down town
/ noticed on the walls and fences big post
ers showing a blood red flag with tho word
Bread across it in white letters There
was something very significant in the de-
sign-tho red flag of anarchy and the
threat of blood behind the demand for
bread. Every one on the car was talking
about the posters and seemed to think it
was pretty serious matter.
well, sir, those things had been put all
over town during that one night. 1t
seemed as if there must have been a thor
ough organization of the revolutionists to
put up SO many of the posters. remem-
Der that one of the prominent anarchists
was interviewed as to the meaning of the
red flags and the demand for bread.
HE said 1t meant that the social revo-
luton was at hand that the workmen
were organized and would get bread for
themselves and their families even If they
had to destroy the capitalistic class to get
it. He said the bread placards were simply
put up to give the capitalists warning.
"A few mornings after that more post
ers bearing red flags appeared In all parts
of town, but this time each flag bore the
words 'Aerated Bread
Tho whole thing was a scheme to ad-
vertise new kind Of bread being baked
by III. II. Kohlsaat, who was then the big
baker of the town, although he had not
become so well known as he is at present
1t didn't appear that he intended to fright
en- any one. He simply chose a novel
method of advertising his improved bread
and people were ready about that time to
attach a dark significance to anything that
was red.
But the attempt of the anarchist lead
ers to adopt Mr.. Kohlsaat's aerated bread
scheme was one of the most amusing in
cidonts of tho entire scare. "-Chicago

NEW RAILWAY PROJECT.

BOscobel. Wis, Dec. 81 Special /
There is much excitement in the central
part Of this county about a new railroad
from bloomington TO connect with either
the Northwestern at Lancaster. the
burlington at Glen Haven, or the Chi
cago, Milwaukee Il ST. Paul at Wau-
zeka. Last week a petition was circu-
lated Mt Bloomington for the purpose
of obtaining enough names to bond the
village Of BLOOMINGTON. The opposing
faction began Immediately to circulate a
rrmoHStrance. but the majority Of the
people favored the railroad. and will bond
the village. and work will be commenced
on the new railroad as early as possible
next spring. William Flynn, the man
who built the narrow gauge railroad
from WOodman 10 Lancaster some years
ago. now owned by tn" Northwestern,

Masts of Great Ships,

Puget Sound timber goes every
where. even into the masts of the fleet
yachts made by both America and En-
gland TO race for the Americas cup.
But the point of most interest TO the
people of this region is that the great
sparS of noble Douglas fir shipped from
this region as soon as they pass beyond
the State line have fastened upon them
the name of Oregon pine" The spars
from which the masts Of Defender and
Nalkyrie have been made were cut in
Sol Simpsons logging camp at Kamil-
chic, Wash, and afterward shipped
from Port Blakeley.
Washington annually sends out at
least 100 vessels timber laden, in every
direction. all the way from Korea to
Australia and the Hawaiians Islands,
and even to the Kimberley diamond
mines and Johannesburg gold mines in
Africa. 1t is stated that the flag of the
Emperor of Japan flies from a stick Of
Puget Sound timber, ana il Is known
positively that the flagstaff on Windsor

Sound. Nor is it Il remarkable piece Of
timber. as one comes TO think who lives
