The Colonel and the senator.
QFrom the Cleveland Plain DeaIer.)


Some time ago two Crevelanders
found themselves in Port Clinton They
were there for the hunting; and fishing.
and for the incidental pleasure that
could be picked up in that somewhat
quiet town. Before they reached their
destination one of them said to the
other:
Let's have a little fun out of this
business to start with. This is deadly
dull place. Suppose we wake 'em up
What's your game" inquired the
other.
This: They don't know me here and
they don't know you. Now I'll register
as George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts,
and you register as Col. Moore Blood.
of Kentucky I've got a big navy re-
volver in my valise. and well have a
scrap at the dinner table.
So they walked into the rude office of
the little frame hotel. and presenting
themselves before the proprietor. who
was also clerk. steward, and bartender,
they gravely registered OF course
they were entire strangers, ana while
they waited for dinner stalked about
the little office and read the time ia
bles, apparently oblivious to each 9TH
ers presence. ,-. ...
1t didn't take much tact for them to
get seats at the same table, and for a
time all went well. The proprietor
had a little window cut in the side of
his office and through this. he could
keep an eye on the dining-room. and
perhaps count the guests. or spot those
who had failed to get dinner tickets.
Every little while the sliding door in
this window would be raised ana the
proprietors face would appear az the
opening. Then he would drop the door
with a bang and disappear.
Presently Col. Blood and the Massa-
chussetts statesman fell - talking pol
itics. They warmed up as they pro-
ceeded anS their voices rose. The 9TH
er guests looked up a little anxiOusly.
and the two colored walters turned
slightly pale. Hot and hotter grew the
dispute. The little window in the office
was raised and the proprietor's face
appeared. His eyes glared and his
voice trembled.
Gentlemen, gentlemen" he cried.
But the senator and the colonel heed
ed him not. Wilder grew the recrimi-
nations, and when one OF the walters
approached the pair the climax was
reached. The senator called him man
and brother" and the feolonef snorted
with offended rage. Before another
word could be added the Kentuckyian
had his navy revolver out OF his hip
pocket. and the senator faced him
across the table with an uplffted water
pitcher. - bis'
The door of the office window came
down with a bang. the walters crawled
under the nearest table, and the shrek
ing guests broke wildly Tor the outside.

ly that never was so interested in any
man as / am in this one, who complete

and beauty OF controlling ones self.
Why. it is nothing to compare with the
deHciOusness of feeling that you are
dominated by a nice man. After all
that is true independence. woman Is
never really independent until she has a
man who cares enough about her to mas
ter her. Then she has real friend. and

FEMALE PHARMACISTS.
Gentle Hands to Fill Prescriptions
In ApOthecary shops.

Women apothecaries have not yet be-
come so numerous as to overcrowd the
profession, and yet it is stated that nc
branch of industry is more suited to a
woman's ability than this. 1t requires
deftness and light hardness, and is not
in any way taxing on strength or nerves.
Nor is 1T too combining or sedentary, and
the mind, eye and hand are kept in
pleasant activity and corresponding use
fulness.
The first graduated woman pharmacist
in the world received her diploma from
the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy.
This institute has also graduated the
largest number OF women who have ac-
lively engaged in the work 1t is the
oldest of the American colleges, having
been opened in 1921 Thirty women have
been enrolled as certified practitioners
who have received degrees These stu
dnts have been rcruited from all over
the world-one of those in the present
class is from Russia-and their ages
have ranged from eighteen to twenty
flve. The secretaries of several of the
associations of pharmacy, notably those
of Kansas. Nebraska and Louisiana,
have been women graduates of the pro-
fession. and the vice-president of the
American association is Mrs. Mary o..
Miller.
In Kansas City a woman has been the
assistant for thirteen years in one of the
largest drug stores. She Is Miss Toni
Sanntrock, and in her place became per-
fectly familiar with all branches of the
business before taking her course at the
pharmacy college. -
Another young woman. although COM
petent to mix drugs and put up pre-
csriptions. will not do so until she has
received her diploma. which will shortly
be given her She, too is engaged In
one of the pharmacies of Kansas City.
She Will be the only woman to graduate
this Spring in a class of fifteen men.
Seven women in all have been gradu-
ated from the Kansas City College of
Pharmacy: several are employed In the
town and others have sought places in
different parts of the country.
While many women own drug stores
they have not. as rule. been educated
pharmacists. and no matter how skill
ed through long years of business and
attention TO the mixing of drugs and
even study of the art they are not SUD-
posed to practice ii unless properly GER
titled Undoubtedly there have been
cases where this was done. however, and
some olu New forkers may recall an
apothecary whose small shop in Third
Avenue, used to be tended by snowy
haired woman. who mixed potions with
practiced hand. She was. sub rosa
the owner, of the place. and although
she had never passed an examination in
the profession, her thorough knowledge
Of it was more exact and to be relied
upon than that of young or inexperienc-
ed graduates.
hn
macy for women is slowly spreading
and will always appeal more especially
to class Of scientifically inclined and
thinking people.

Only Two Parties
(Greenville Reflector.

After the Greenville township pri-
mary had finished its regular business
Saturday afternoon, MI. A. A. Forbes
was called on for a speech. He re-
sponded in a manner that brought
round after round Of applause.
Mr.. Forbes was the populist senator
for this county four years ago. He
said he was honest in leaving the
democratic party as he thought it was
departing from its principles. He then
thought the principle of the populist
party were right, and they would have
been right had not the party gone
head and boots to the republicans. AT
the age of IL years, he said, he put
aside his school books and Joined the
confederate army to battle for his
home. He is no less a patriot now
than then, and in defense of his home,
wife and children, he takes his stand
with the white man for a white mans
government. He said he does not be
lieve there is any democratic party
in Pitt nor any republican party, and
he knows there is no populist party
but there are two parties, the white
party and the negro party, and it is
clear enough which one every white
man should belong to.

ports from Manila that Aguinaldo will

claim the republic Of the Philippines,
with himself as the head, has not been
made known to Agoncillo, head Of the
Philippine delegation here. He said
today through his secretary and inter

more OF less important character had
come to them ever since they had
landed. but that they were without Of
fetal notification as TO any OF these
steps, and this largely accounted for
their inactivity. as they desired Il
know exactly what resolutions and pol.

at any time, in response to Inquiries
which would show just what the pres.
ent status Of affairs was.

Bicycling News

Philadelphia, September 20. - All
but two of the professional bicycle
riders who have formed the National
Racing Cyclists Union and refused to
ride on any track under League of
American Wheelmen auspices, remain
ed true to their promises today and
took no part in the national circuit
meet at Woodside park. The two
who signed the agreement to boycott
the League of American Wheelmen but
who were in today's races, were Bobby
Thompson and Archie McEachern,
of Toronto. Friends of these men
state their sympathies are with the
new organization, but that the exist
ence of a contract with the track man
agement compelled them to participate.
The attendance was very small, but
the events were pulled off. The pro-
f%essional were:
One-third mile, championship, pro-
fessional. Tom Butler, of Boston,
won; Bobby Thompson, Toronto, Sec
ond; Robert Walthorn of Atlanta,
third; Weise Hausmer, of Philadelphia
fourth. Time 43 3-5.

sional. Watson Coleman, Of Boston,
won; Fred Titus, of New York, second;
Nat. Butler, of Boston, third; J. F. Col
gan, of Trenton, fourth.

Anglo-Saxon supremacy. Is there a
man in Carteret county who is willing
to see his state ruled by a party of
negroes? That is the issue exactly.
You know the negro holds control now
in the state. And you further know
that in all the history of North Caro-
lima there has never been a time when
crime ran so riot as during the admin
istration of the past two years. Why
in Wilmington the white man is held
under by the overwhelming negro ele-
ment, while insult after insult offered
to unprotected white women. Negro
men punch white women in the side
with umbrellas when passing on the
street and only a few days ago a negro
woman deliberately hurled a chew of
tobacco into the face of a white lady
with a jeering laugh, while a crowd of
negroes standing by cheered the deed.

The Conspiracy Against the Emperor
of China.


Pekin, September q, via Shanghai,
September 2o.-The developments Of
palace affairs confirm the belief that
the emperor by the radical reforms
which he lac decreed, prepared him
self for the blow struck by the dow
ager empress. The successive edicts
furnish a history of the trend of af-
fairs. The emperor's chief advisor,
Kang Yuwel, obtained ~unbounded in
fiuence over him and inspired the re-
forms. The official classes opposed
him and consulted the dowager en-
press as to means Of multiplying these
reforms.
The current story is that the imme-
date cause of the emperOr'S downfall
was that he appeared one day in Eu-
ropean clothes. This offence, it ap-
pears, was aggravated by the arrival
in China Of the Marquis Ito, the Jap
anese statesman, which alarmed the
palace officials as fOreshadOWing Jap
anese domination in the empires coun-
ellis. ThereupOn the dowager empress
acted with wonderful promptness and
deposed her nephew before the Pekin
people were aware that she had left
her summer place.
The announcement of the emperOr's
death is expected soon, and the dow
ager empress is likely to appoint a
figurehead as his successor, retaining
the real power herself.
