@. j. Buell. Throws Light on More
Dark Places for Mr. Stone.
To the Editor of the Globe.
I see that my friend, Stone, Of Pine City
is still seeking after truth. like his earn
estness. He evidently means to learn some
thing If he can. AS he has not attempted to
disprove any Of my statements thus far, I
take 1t that we agree, and that he wants to
acquire still further knowledge. If 1 can
help him out 1 will gladly do SO. If 1 can't
I will tell him so and urge him to seek in
formation from more profound sources
Mr.. Stone says that from 1892 to 1848 the
worlds production of silver was 81, ,624 217, ,000
and Of gold was 1921 ,0s6, COO, and asks why
was not silver the cheaper metal during that
period?" I always supposed 1t was. I sup
posed that it took nearly sixteen times as
great weight of silver as of gold to be worth
the same in the markets.
1 suppose the reason for this is that 1t cost
about sixteen times as much labor or effort to
produce pound of gold as to produce a
pound of silver. This is the principle that
applies to all products Of labor, as I under
stand 1t, and don't suppose gold or silver
is any exception.
Mr.. Stone then has trouble with the fact
that from 184S to 1881 gold was produced to
the amount Of 1851, ,595 900 and silver only
81, 800, $50, 900, and wants to know why gold
of production had not relatively changed much
and because the extra gold found a ready use.
During that period gold came into use as
money to very large extent and kept the
increased supply used up.
Then Mr.. Stone puts another conundrum
by stating that 'Our staple commodities,
such as pork, beef, corn, oats, wheat, cotton,
coal and iron, bear the same ratio to silver
now that they did for 100 years." and asks
why have they deprecated in value?" If
silver and all these other things kept the
same ratio to each other all that while, II
is pretty plain that they did not 'depreciate''
in value. The value" Of a thing is how
much Of other things it will exchange for. II
it exchanges for less it's value. goes down
-depreciates. If it exchanges for more its
value goes up. From 1s49 to about 1870
| the value of gold and silver went down
From 1870 to 1895 the value" Of gold has
| gone up; that is. an ounce of gold will ex-
| change for more Of other things than 1t did
before, at the same time the value of sill
yer has probably gone down somewhat, though
not very much. These changes are due tc
changes in the cost Of production mostly

WHITE AFRICANS.
Some Reasons for Believing. There
Is Such u People.

=
Is Such u People.
London News.
There have always been vague tra-
ditions Of a white race locked up in
the interior of Africa, but when the
tales have come to be tested the white
race generally turns out to be merely
a tribe of lighter colored Arabs, keep
ing all the characteristics of the race
and having none Of the white MANS
But in this race we have something
much more correct and precise.
Capt. Larymore, at present A. D. G..
to Sir Francis Scott, was sent up to
Koranza on mission, and stayed a
considerable time in the capital.
He took advantage Of the opportun-
ity to inquire about this comparatively
unknown race and it's neighbors, and
was surprised to find that there was
an accepted tradition that there lived,
an indefinite number of days marches
to the northeast, a tribe of white men.
Further inquiry ELECTED the state
ment that they lived on the skirts of
a desert, whichs was difficult and dan
gerous to cross. Attempts had been
made to avoid this desert by passing
through their country, but they were
found to be so fierce and so abso-
lutely devoid ofsfear that the caravans
preferred the dangers of the desert to
the hospitality Of the white tribe.
Such circumstantial statements in
duced Capt. Larymore to make stricter
inquiries, and at length he found a
Mohammedan priest, Al Hadji, a man
of great integrity and considerable in
f1uence. He had been to Mecca, and it
was on his way there and back that
he actually saw with his own eyes
one of this white tribe.
The man in question was armed
only with a bow and arrow, but such
is the reputation of f1erceness possessed
by the race that the caravan did not
remain long in his vicinity, but left the
place as quickly as possible. Al Hadji
saw him distinctly.
Capt. Larymore, who is a type of
the fair Saxon, interrupted the priest
in his story, and said that the man
must have been simply a light-colored
Arab.
NO." said AL Hadji, ri saw him
close at hand, and he had light hair
and blue eyes, exactly as you have"
capt. Larymofe tOOk GOWN the teStl-
mony in writings The existence of
such a race isr firmly believed in by
most of the gold coast travellers, and,
among others, Sir Francis Scott.
Unfortunately owing to the fact that
the reckoning Of the progress of the
caravan is done in the most careless
way, the spot cannot be located. Al
Hadji says it isl many days from Ko-
rama, which might mean 100 or 1,O0C
miles.

OSTRICHS LUNCH.
A Surgeon Needed to Find a Purse
SheF Swallowed.

A Surgeon Needed to Find "a Purse
SheS Swallowed.
Los Angeles tal.) Cor. Philadelphia Times.
b. {. Wallace, wealthy gentleman
from the East. has been making tour
OF Southern California during the past
winter, and about a month ago came to
this city. "A short time after his arrival
he went out to visit the ostrich farm,
and spent several hours in inspecting
the queer BIRDS which seemed to inter
est him very much There was one big
male ostrich in particular that struck
Wallace's fancy, his plumage was so
beautiful and his carriage so grand.
After admiring and commenting on the
big fellows many good points, Wallace
turned to get an orange from a bag
which his wife was holding, thinking
to present it to the ostrich.
Feeling something tugging at his
pocket, Wallace jumped around just in
time to see his we'll, filled leather purse
slowly disappearing into the birds
mouth Wallace frankly confesses that
he was completely daZed for a moment,
but the case was a serious one, and
when the purse showed itself slowly
sliding down., making a big proturb-
ance on the side of the birds neck, he
felt that the time for action had ar
rived. Leaning over the board fence
as far as he could reach, Wallace
grabbed the bird about the throat, and
tried with all his might to choke his
purse up, but one upward kick of the
big fellows hoof settled any further eff
fort in that way. Wallace was almost
willing to feel grateful for the small
favor of an unbroken arm, but there
was money in the purse, and he could
not see the ostrich making food of his
worldly goods with impunity. Mean
time Mrs. Wallace had called the keep
er.
BY this time the purse had made the
passage, and was no doubt comfortably
stored away i'm the birds stomach
awaiting the process of digestion.
Nothing for it, sir I'm afraid" said
the keeper. WAS there much money
in the purse?"
'My lord, man, there's thousands in
it, besides bonds, notes, etc. eX-
claimed Wallace "Can nothing be
done?"
mot unless you buy the bird, kill
him and rob his stomach" answered
Tic Keeper.
Great Scott, don't want an ostrich,
dead or alive, but name your figC-e?"
said Wallace.
The keeper told him the bird was
worth $500.
Pretty costly but there's ten times
that amount inside of him, and 1 guess
this will be one time when it will pay
to kill the goose for the golden egg"
The bargain was almost struck, but
at Mrs. Wallace's suggestion it was de-
cided to get surgeon to come out from
the. city and operate on the bird, and
try to extract the purse without killing
him outright. This plan was immedi-
ately acted upon, the operation being
performed by one of our young sur
geons, and resulting most happily. The
purse was found intact, with its valu-
able contents unhurt. It Is now three
weeks since, and the ostrich has en-
tirely recovered, so that Wallace had
merely to pay the surgeon's fee and a
slight bonus to the Keeper, who in turn
presented Mrs Wallace with g. fine
plume from the bird which came very
near costing her rshusband so dear.

TURKISH AND AMERICAN sULTANs
Differ Only in MethOds-The Moral
of 1t.

To the Editor of the Globe.
1t is passing strange that while we are so
ready to extend our sympathy and benefcence
to the victims of sultan in far-off Turkey
we are at the same time, so prone to over
look the sufferings of the victims Of sultans
In our own country. 1t is repetition of the
old story of sending missionaries to convert
the heather in some far-off foreign country
the while we overlook the prime necessity
of converting the heather who are about our
very doors at home. 1t is most remarkable
to witness the intense interest we manifest
and how excited we become when we learn
of distress and death inflicted upon foreign
people by sultans at long distances from us,
and with what apathy and unconcern we wit
ness the distress and death of our own peo-
pie, brought about by sultans who are our
fellow citizens. 1t must be admitted that the
sultan of Turkey is not smart, in the latter
day acceptation of the word-that Is to say
he is not polite; while our fellow citizens
the American sultans, are very smart /. e.
they are very polite. For some months past
there has been discharged upon the sultan
of Turkey stream of the most emphatic
expressions of hatred, scorn and detestation
to be found in the English language, and
while the writer thinks he richly" deserves
them ALL he also thinks that had he been
smart" he would have escaped much of
this well deserved vituperation. Our own
sultans who are possessed of a higher and
broader education than the foreign article,
are correspondngly smarter and more po-
lltic, and while their victims are probably
not less numerous than those of the Turk,
they have way of their own Of binding
the eyes and soothing the ire Of Christians
which would be admirable if it were not de-
testable. We have many sultans Of high and
low degree in this country and in the first
rank may be rated the "coal barons," the
railway magnates," both so called, the
Standard Oil company, and various other COM
binations. These and like corporations and
trusts, by the combination of capital. have
become so powerful that they can and do
control both national and state legislation,
and thereby procure laws to be enacted which
are solely for their own aggrandizement and
adverse to the welfare of the people, or,
failing in this which rarely occurs, they

don't seem to have much bearing on the
question, and then asks If l am not in the

With Er,ysipelaS

There is no disease of the blood
which so completely puzzles the doc-
tors as Erysipe1as. They admit that
it is a blood trouble, but like other such
diseases, they are unable TO ehect
cure. -
1t is not surprising that those VINO
are afflicted with this distressing dis
ease should suffer such untold agonies.
Like a consuming flame, it covers the
skin with fiery, burning redness
which is almost unbearable, and only
those who have been so afflicted can
describe it's fortunes.
Aside from the suffering which cry
sipeIas causes, there is always great
danger attending the disease, unless
promptly checked. The Inflammation
spreads through the tissues of the skin
and, when vital part IS attacked, the
result is disastrous. Often the bones
are affected, and become so diseased
that they crumb1e away, leaving the
patient an invalid for life.
Here is such a case, where the doc
tors were unable to afford relief, and
strongly urged an operation.
Miss Ada Wainwright is a most esti-
mab1e young lady, residing at Alamo,
Tenn. After being under the DOCTORS
care constantly for three years andd de
