determination OF the free silver men to carry

Sn,ythe used to keep dance house and mu-
SIC hall down on the river bank at Kansas
City when that town was new and furn shed
lnt.on who were not too fastd!ous. And II
was Jake's habit TO run his own show. just
as the silver men intended to run this con-
ventlon. One night. rs usual. he annotsiced
from the stage that Miss Birdie Annandale
would sing "Down In the Valley"
a river boatnan who happened to be oc-
cupying a proscenium box. arose and enter.
Mr.. Smythe's entertainment were tired of
"pown In the alley" and rhey wanted scme-
thing new. He indulGed also In some reiec.
tons upon the musical accomplishments of
Mss Birdie Annnndale. and expressed dis
satisfaction with the programme In general.
Mr.. Smythc. being a man of firm convlc-
t.ons. like thuse who were managing this
Of the public. moved promptly across the
st1ge and grasped the boatnian by the ears.
Sapvlng him along before him, with well
administered kicks ut frequent intervals,
when. he reached the door lie kicked him into

proceedings with great interest. Then. when

CLAIMS KRUGERAs KlNSMAN.
An Indiana Man Says His Mother Died In
Philadelphia Aged 1O3.

David Haywood, G. A. Haywood,
Charles and Henry Roney and Charles
Kruger Of indianapolis are said to be
kinsmen Of President Kruger Of the
Transvaal.
According to Mr.. Haywood, the pres
ident's mother was born in Germany,
but came to America when quite young
and settled near Mauch Chunk, Pa,
where the president was born. When IL
years old, young Kruger ran away from
home, and from than day until few
weeks ago he had never been heard
from. At that time the country around
Mauch Chunk was a wilderness, and
young Kruger was thought to have been
devoured by wild beasts.
President Kruger's sister was Mr..
Haywood s mother She died in Indian
apolis about seven years ago.
Kruger mother lived to be 103 years
of age and died in Philadelphia in 1880.
Joseph Kruger, a we'll known con-
tractor Of Indianapolis about 20 years
ago, was a brother Of the South African
statesman.
Mr.. Haywood is preparing to write
to Kruger for history Of the lads
wanderings after he left the family roof
in Mauch Chunk.
The Official Handbook Of the Cape
and South Africa, in the chapter on
the South African Republic, says:
"Mr. S. J. P. Kruger has been presi
dent of the republic since 1882, having
been thrice elected to office. He was
born in Cape Colony Oct 10, 1925, and
as a STRIPPING Of IS years Of age accom-
panied his father, one of the emigrant
farmers who crossed the Vaal river and
settled in the republic in 1889.

The COTTON CRAZE.
LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER BIG CROP
IN GEORGIA.

The Sales of Fertilizer Tags the Heaviest
in the Annals of the State Agricult-
ural Department.. All Indica-
tions Point to a Big Crop.
In spite of the work of the American
Cotton Growers Protective Association
and the constant efforts of the state
agricultural department to decrease the
cotton acreage this season, the lndlca-
lions from the sale of fertilizers so far
are that the acreage prepared for cotton
by the farmers of Georgia will be the
largest in the history of the state.
Investigation at the state agricultural
department. on Saturday, according to an
Atlanta special to the Savannah News Of
Sunday, developed the fact that the sales
of fertilizer tags up to Feb. / have been
heavier than for any corresponding peri
cd in the records of the department. The
heaviest sales of tags heretofore was for
the great crop of 1894, which so glutted
the market that the price went down to
four and five cents, and the farmers did
not realz enough to repay the cost of
raising tie crop. Following this bitter
experience of 100000 bale crop the
organized movement to reduce the crop
was successful last year 20 the extent
that the crop now on the market has
brought fair price. This rise in prices
brought alb ut by the reduced crop ahas
apparently caused the farmers to deter
mine upon planting every available acre
this season in cotton, despite the warn
ing of the agricultural department and
of the association which was instru-
mental i'll securing the reduced acreage
last season.
Commissioner Ntsbitt has been doing
energetic work in trying to hold down
the acreage in Georgia this year, but if
the sale of fertilizers can be taken as a
guide to the area to be planted this
year, as it has been regarded in tho past.
the commissioners warning has fallen
upon needless ears. Over $50, 600 fertili-
ger tags have been sent out by the de-
partment so far, and the applications
for them continue to come in with every
mail. Taking the departments est.
mate, 100000 tags mean 10000 tons of
fertilizer either already sold, or its sale
in sight.

merry Enelandn and Armenia.

The eleventh sonnet of Mr.. William
Watson's series entitled "The Purple
East" is as follows:
Oh, vanish morn of crimson and of gold,
OF youth and roselight and romance, wherein
read Of tourney and of paladin,
And beauty snatched from ogre's dungeoned
holdl
Ever the recreant would in dust be rolled,
Ever the true knight in the joust would win,
Ever the scaly shape of monstrous sin
At last lie vanqnished, fold on writing fold
Was it all false, that world of princely Deeds
The splendid quest, the good fight ringing
clear?
Yonder the dragon ramps with fiery gorge,
Yonder the victim faints and gasps and bleeds,
But in his Merry England our st. George
Sleeps a base sleep beside his idle spear.

WILL BE A BOOMERANG.
Henry Norman Thinks the Sultan's Action
Will RecOiI on Himself.

Henry Norman, the English newspa-
per correspondent, who has recently re-
turned from Turkey, says
The sultan of Turkey is working out
his own reforms in Armenia and he is
doing 1T III his own way. He doesn't
want the civilized world to know what
he is doing and the entrance of Red
Cross missionaries in his country at this
time would reveal the actual conditions
to them. They would send back word
that would cause every civilized nation
to rise IN arms against him. I make the
statement advisedly when I say that the
sultan of Turkey is effecting his reforms
in Armenia by numbering those who op-
pose him and reducing to such state of
terror those who fear to oppose him that
they are no longer human. I could tell
tales about that country that a people
could not believe. Wanton and premedi-
tated butchery is going ON all the time.
am writing book about it.
The sultan makes pretensions, but
does nothing. believe that before he
has put an end to his so called reforms
IN Armenia he will have murdered one
fourth of the inhabitants. Miss Barton
could command the ear of the civilized
world. She is woman who has a rec
ord for truth and whose statements are
to be believed, and they would be acted
upon by Americans and all English
speaking people No wonder the sultan
did not want her in the country and
barred her out. think that this act
will do much to bring about settle
ment of the eastern troubles. The sultan
cannot be condemned too seriously, for
he knows all that is going on. Will.

"SHAMS IN YALE LIFE"
Startling Title Of an Article In The Yale
Literary Magazine.


The current number Of The Yale Lit
erary Magazine contains scathing ar
ticle Oh "Sbams Ii Yale Life. - The ar
ticle was written by E. S. Oyiatt, one
of the editors Of the magazine and a
resident of New Haven. After saying
that there is too much materialism IN
college life here he adds:
"Men graduate from this college
year after year with less mental strength,
less moral strength than the average
'uneducated' man whom they pass on
the street. There is a very general de-
sire among us to get through on the
least work, to outwit the instructors A
man who comes here to study nowadays
is dubbed dig, is branded as an out
cast, perfOrce soon finds himself out Of
sympathy with the body of his associ-
ates, sinks into undisturbed but ostra-
cized manners of life, gains his honors,
but comes out at the end of the course a
mere bookworm. 1t is a we'll known
fact, and one winked at by those in q
position to correct it, that the supposed
religious work of Dwight Hall during
the first two years covers tremendous
amount Of hypocrisy-hypocrisy that has
at least the one redeeming feature of
being apparent on the very face. With
all respect the competition for a class
deaconship is most melancholy sight
AS much canvassing is done, as much
talk excited as in the election of Tam
many chieftain. 1t is because the posi-
ton insures social recognition that men
most desire it. 1t is because, along with
baseball and a football champion, a
religious leader stands good chance
for future social honors.
Mr.. Oviatt concludes his article by
saying that in few years, if things keep
on as they now are going, "Yale de-
mocracy' will! be thing of the past.
The article has been the talk Of the
campus. The Yale Daily News replies to
it in long editorial and contradicts
most of Mr.. Oviatt' statements. Phil.

THE PARTHENON.
To BE the Growing Glory of Tennessee's
Centennial.

10 he the Growing GLORY OF Tennessee's
Centennial.
Mr.. Cooley is chief of the department.
Of fine arts, history, ETC., of the Ten
nessee centennial He has done some
good work in the interests Of the expo
sition. Mr.. Cooley outlined his inten-
tions and hopes of the exposition peo-
pie. The Parthenon, where will be
housed the works of art, which will
be exhibited there, will be the only
such building ever put up in the United
States for similar exhibition. 1t will
be an exact reproduction Of the great
Parthenon at Athens, the chief glory of
all architecture. Said Mr. Cooley,
speaking on this subject:
"This structure will be one Of the
browning glories of the centennial. It
will be made absolutely freproof and
perfectly substantial. 1t is the intention
to make it an exact reproduction of the
Parthenon, even to the elevated nature
of the foundation, like its original,
which was the finest of the Greek tenn
pies that adorned the Acropolis. The
statue of Athenea will be modelled in
exact imitation of the Greek figure, and
mounted likewise. In fact, it is the in
tention of the commissioners to repro.
duce every detail, even to the colort
employed by the Greeks. "-Cincinnati
