A JUDGMENT AGAINST COLUMBUS.
His Deeds and Shortcomings Such as
to Make Enthusiasm for Him Mis-
placed.

From Self-Culture
The scandalous excess of Columbus
worship into which emotion and ignor-
ance swept press and pulpit and plat
form, in 1928, renders peculiarly neces-
sary an adequate statement of the real
case of Columbus in relation to America,
and this necessarily becomes state
ment against Columbus, who was a curse
to America, rather than a benefactor,
and a miserable fraud, a wretched fail
ure as a discoverer.
These are terribly hard words, to be
true of the man who first sailed across
a connection of transatlantic lands with
Europe. But they are true words. 1t
would have been incalculably better for
America and for Europe, for civilization
and for Christianity if no more had come
of the sailing of Columbus than came of
the far earlier voyages and landings
which make the Morse story of the real,
original finding of the new world. The
people of English, Of German, of Dutch,
of French of Italian stock representing
that America which means the United
States, should, even for an hour of COM
memorative enthusiasm, make demi-
god of Spanish '.Chrlstoval Colon. who
got himself made Spanish, and who
stands in history for the worst Spanish
spirit and ideas, affords most deplora-
Bile example of misguided emotion.
He had no part whatever in the scien-
tiic thinking of the time. The vast men
tai world opening to purer eyes than mn; ms
ence of. He did not discover, and never
pretended to have discovered, a new con-
tinent That discovery was made apart
from him, and would have been better
made without him. 1t is not true that
until 1892 Europe had stood with her
back to the Atlantic. The Orient had
not been a mere dream. The idea of sail
ing to it due west was a. crazy mistake
compared with the ideas which carried
ADLER navigators and better men to the
real India.
Of genius for any high task Columbus
had none. The most sadly definable thing
in him was the air, not of authority, but
of pretension, which savored more of the
crank than the scientist, and for great
parts of his conduct and utterances, sug-
gests a mind almost or quite of its bal
ance The movement in hand when he
'paced his decks" would have ended far
better if he had gone down with his crazy
little ships" and his crazy scheme of
westward greed, which was a seed of
sin and shame without a parallel, through
more than three centuries of Spanish lust
for gain from the new world.
Columbus, in fact, took on a citizenship
which was the worst in Europe and ac-
cepted the most evil fates under the ban
ner of Spain. He did this in a kinship
of his own spirit TO the Spanish spirit
OF fairly large natural intelligence and
quick perception, he yet had emotion ra-

hidden treasure.
Now is the Time o. Ducks! Their V-shap-
ed sky-prOcessions dot the blue on every
side and millions OF them float on the wa
ter just off the shore. A sportsman finds
them all too thick for sport, and picks
out, II he can, the rarer black ducks as
they fly in the countless company of coots.
But the association has spoiled them.
They are. like summer storles-decidedly
fishy.

Experience of Bather in Texas

Variety.
Lampasas Crex) Cor. San Francisco Call
Hiram Suffer. a young gentleman visit
ing in this vicinity had a singular expert
ence with a swapping turtle yesterday.
While riding into town to attend to some
business Mr.. Suffer felt himself oppressed
by the heat and determined to take "A
swim in the river to cool off. Hitching his
horse at the east end of Chestnut sstreet
bridge, Suffer walked up stream for few
hundred yards till he came to suitable
place for a dip. Stripping off his clothes
he hung them on a down-bendng limb
of a pecan tree out of reach Of some
COWS which were browsing on the bank
and enjoyed some lively swimming Tor
fifteen or twenty minutes. BY and by
he scrambled up the bank to a jutting
edge of rock and was Just preparing to
spring off into the water for a dive when
he felt something grab his foot and looked
down to see an enormous swapping turtle
holding him by the big toe in vise-like
The sharp-edged Jaws of the terrible
creature had cut deep into the flesh and
excruciatlng, and Suffer could not even
move his foot, so huge was the creature
that chung to IT, There he stood upon the
slanting rock with the sun streaming
uown upon his unprotected head, and
without weapon in the world. What to
do he knew not. The tortoise was too
heavy for him to drag, even IL the pain
had been less intense. There was no
chance of his reaching the knife In the
pocket of his coat hanging in the tree
and not a rock within ten feet of nim.
He could hear now and then the football
of a horse as the shoes struck against
the stones on the dusty road beyond,
or the eager below Of thirsty cattle as
they came to the river for water but
not a human being appeared in sight.
He put his hands to his mouth and
called aloud for help, but nothing came
back except the echo Of his voice. Mean
time, the pain was getting more and
more intense, and the sun was bilstering
his skin. 1t must have been between .
and hours that Suffer had to I'M
dergo this terrible suffering before clouds
gathered thickly overhead, which gave
him relief from the suns rays. But the
turtle hung on like grim death Sudden
~ however, when Suffer says he felt that
he must surely drop from utter exhaus-
tion, a loud clap Of thunder sounded d.
rectly overhead and echoed and re-echoed
throug- the valley. With a click like
the springing of clasp. the turtle let
20 his hold of Suffers toe and slid off
into the water with a "kerchug." Of
course, Suffer lost no time in getting 10
town, but he is now in bed a. the house
of a friend where a physician is at
tending to his wounded toe and his bis
tered back.

CALLS HIM THE NEW hoy.
A Chicago Woman Tells How She
Was Held Up by n Little Chap.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Lucinda b. Chandler, whom every Chica-
goan knows, has been held up" and this
is her account of it:
1.-THE New Boy is the latest develop
ment of Chicago iniquity and his ingenui-
ty is wonderful. 1t is not a comfortable
consideration that street cars may be I'M
safe for unarmed persons. 1t is not de-
lightful to know that a trip to the sub
urbs may introduce one to the modern
highwayman, equipped with revolver and
capable of setting aside the motorman.
tBut grewsome as is this possibility or
experience II is not fraught with so much
that is dubious to contemplate as the fact
that 1t may not be safe to give attention
to the requests OF little fellow in kits
on a busy thoroughfare. To find in a bit
of humanity hardly out of the stage of
infancy genteel, polite well-trained
pickpocket is not only stunning but an
ominous index of the facility for the
coming man to become an irredeemable
thief.
"If such child is not a new boy our
national disease of stealing is more deeply
rooted and widely. pervading than appears
on the surface. woman stepped out of
a store in West Madison street few days
ago and had gone only a few steps when
two boys rushed up to her, neither of
whom could have been more than years
old. The smaller one, and who held a lit

kits. and was, If as old as years, small
for his age.

piled she had never heard of il, and sug-
gested that he should step into the store
and inquire Of the merchant. But he
pressed the book up nearer to her face
and said: Mrs. Blather, you see; her
husband has been killed and l am trying
to find where she lives. Number? he
said in a questioning tone. No, there is

CARRIAGES AND BICYCLES.
what Led to the Brewster Failure in
New York.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
The failure of one of the best and best
known and most fashionable firms of car
rage builders in this or any other country
would at any time attract attention. But
II attracts particular attention at this time
because is seems to be a natural result
of a new order of things in the way of
IocomOtion. The business of the late
firm of J. y. Brewster & Co. was ex-
clusively in vehicles of pleasure in ar
ticles of pure luxury. The managers or
the firm attribute the failure generally
to hard times"-that is to a falling Off
in the demand for their wares. But there
is a special and obvious reason for the
falling off in their business which does
not apply to any other, and that is the
multiplication of the bicycle.
The provident carriage builder has
adapted or will adapt himself to the new
conditions. Throughout the country al
most every dealer in carriages or maker
of carriages has added bicycles to MS
stock, and has opened a repair shop for
his loss upon the sale and repair of car
raiges. Even the fashionable carriage
builders, who feel the falling off in the
demand, have hopes that when the horse
less carriage becomes a practical We
hicle, as IL is likely very soon to do, their
business will revive. 1t is not the carriage
builder, but only the horse breeder, against
whom all the new forces are conspiring
But in the meanwhile II is altogether
to be expected that carriage builders
should suffer from the competition or the
bicycle, and that the weaker among them
should succumb TO that pressure.

some Scientific shop-Lifting.
From the Pan Mall Gazette.


Outside of the big Paris stores there
were lately grouped a lady, a nursemaid
with a baby in her arms, and an inspector
of police in the execution of his duty
The lady had just been given into custody
on a charge of unlawful sampling off the
countsrs. She was protesting her inno-
cence&n the most eloquent and moving
terms. The nursemaid was too far gone
for words but she sObbed in a highly eff
fective manner upon the baby's shoulder
The great heart of the people that stood
round was stirred. 1t found voice anon,
in cries of a bas against the inspector
Abashed, indeed, ne might have been, had
he not shrewdly and suddenly unwater-
proofed his prisoner. For, underneath she
was all overproof-huttering with fans
and fancy articles, festooned with lace
and ribbons and fallals of sorts, hung
round with natty boots and neat umbrei-
las. 1t was a sight to give the abasers
pause. A certain revusion of feeling in
favor of constituted authority proceeded
to set in But when constituted authority
proceeded to uncloak the nursemaid also
and she, in her agitation, let the baby fall
a roar of execration arose from the by
ISLANDERS. For the baby fell upon its head
and stove il in. The inspector had to 90
down upon his knees and pick up the
fragments of that fractured skull and
show them around Then there arose an
other sort OF roar. Fragments of wax
they were. The very baby was a shop
