11atrimony and Bushes. in Africa.

The sailor who had q wife in every
port he visited has his counterpart in
the native trader of West Africa, who
has wife in every village with which
he trades. There is one important diff
ference-Jack's wives helped to spend
his money, whereas the traders wives
help to make it. Miss Kingsley tells
US Of the custom and also gives the ex-
PLANTATION.
It would be useless for the trader to
sit at home and wait for his custo uers
to come to him, because each village is
usually at feud with all the neighbor-
ing villages, and the inhabitants dare
not venture beyond their own district
on pain of being robbed first and eaten
afterward. On the other hand, it is
obviously risky thing for the black
trader to travel from village to village
with an assortment of the very goods
best calculated to arouse the cupidity
of the guileless African.
To lessen the danger he resorts to
frequent matrimony. In every village
he takes wife from one Of the most
important families and so secures a
faction who favor him. The African
wife is not subject to jealousy. and so
each of the wives is more than content
to have husband who can keep her
supplied with cloth and beads to out
shine her neighbors. Her male rela-
tives are proud Of the onection with
so important man, and hope besides
to be especially favored in matters of
business. In return they take his part
in disputes and help him to collect his
debts and treat him generally az re-
spected member of the family.

The records in the office of the
state treasurer show outstanding 10
state scrip about $4,000, aud
bonds something like $3.50, 600 I'm
der an act of the legislature all evil
dences of outstanding indebtedness
have been recalled that they may
be reissued. Advertisements CALI
ing in state scrip and certain bonds
we're inserted in foreign and home
papers some months ago, and state
treasurer Thos. X, Little is now
confident that when the time for
sending in these evidences of indebt-
edness has expired not over five or
ten thousand dollars in state scrip
will have shown up, and the number
of bonds presented will. be at least
500 600 less than the records show
outstanding. BY this means we
shall cut down our outstanding IN
debteduess more than $500, 600 as it
appears from the books and records
in the treasurer's office. The only
explanation of this condition is that
onds and scrip have been redeemed
from time to time in the past and
. the records left uusatisfed The
holders of such evidences of indebt-
eduess could gain nothing by retain
ing them now, as all redemptions
aud bonds reissued date from July
II. State Treasurer Little is very
much pleased with the prospect of
being able to show the state to be
in a much better condition than
most people have supposed it to be.

HE WAS TAKEN IN

A few DAYS ago, a new conner 10
our city, started out to make some
purchases for the household, hav-
ing Just moved in from another lo-
oality. He did not have the fore
thought to look up paper and
/ see who were progressive advertis-
ers, as be told us afterwards, but
started out to find a real good,
cheap place on his own account
The first merchant he encounter
ed was one of the Don't Adver-
tise' kind, who hangs out a few
cheap articles marked down to zero
prices. He went in and bought
tin djpper as starter, the. mer-
chant then showed him a set Of
cups and saucers at % cents a set
he took them in also. BY this time
the Don't Advertise" merchant
found he bad a sucker, and he pro-
ceeded to bump his head. He
sold him a set of knives and forks
for 40 cents, a lamp for IS cents
He bought a set Of mantle orua-
meuts which were represented to be
best gold plated and durable for 81,
and gave Sl.5O for a clock. Before
he left the new conner spent with
| this cheap John some So or 50. At
ter being here several days, he
noticed that all the tin on his dip
/ per had disappeared, and only the
| cheap wooden handle was left; the
|cloCk would not run; the gdishes
|craCked. the ornaments turned
/ black. the lamp would not burn and
soon came to pieces. The next day
! he went out to buy some dry goods
aud struck one of those merchants
who said "come in my friend. / have
some bargains for you'-of course
/ this fellow didn't advertise, but the
sucker walked in and before be
knew it, he had spent $40 and a
cheaper lot of stuff was never car
ried home before. After being here
/ a week and seeing how he had been
taken in, be concluded to subscribe
for a paper, and he was of course
advised to take the Texarkau-
liam. What was his surprise when
| he read the advertisement OF
/ O'Dwyer & Ahern, T. S. Mullins &
/ Co., Chatfeld & Buhrman, F. L.
Schuster, Charlie Erber, aud many
Others, to End the same Identical
goods advertised at much lower
4 prices and found the goods were SUI
/ perior and in many instances the
] prOprletOrS guaranteed them as
represented. The stranger resolved
/ right there and then never again
to buy from a cheap john who
hung out cheap articles to catch
suckers and especially those fellows
who do not carry advertisements in
their home paper We say to all
| who are in quest of bargains an6
who want good goods, not to be ia.

SAM JONES HEARD FROM

There are many people who DO
not like sam Jones; there are many
more, however, who do. But no.
body has ever raised a question
as to his ability and pos
session of a Very considerable de-
gree of hard horse sense He has
recently expressed to the Washing
ton Post bis ideas of the admiEis-
tratiou's policy, and it is clear that
ne is not much of an 5xpausiouist
as that term has become to be
understood. Among other things
he said.
81 think we have more crops
planted than we can care for IL
we are to be 10 better guardians Of
the Filipinos than we have been of
the Indians, the Cinnamon and the
negroes, I fear for the results of
our socalIed philanthropy. Ut
Frenchmen who came to Cu-
relief in the war of the revolution
| had assumed the same attitude we
have taken toward Cuba and the
Philippines we would have been
| lighting that country yet. Our old
style of philanthropy was to take
! the spelling cook ana the Bible.
! ILatterl7 we have been using the
gun and the Bible as our imple-
ments of ofc0uversion and civilization.
| We Protestauts believe in no pro-
! baton after death. Therefore,
we argue, we put the heather on
! the other side of probation. But
lit is kind of us to give him a Bible
after we kill him. I am not be-
IIiever in annexation by eXtermina-
ton.
The poor barbarians may be
wrong in misinterpreting our efforts
. to give them the benefits of Civili-
cation, but l believe that they are
justified in thinking that a nation
which cannot take care of its own
inferior races need not bid for any
more contracts until it has shown
| that it knows how to fulfill them
The advantages of commerce are
more than offset by the difficulty Of
holding those poor savages unit
we can drive a bargain with them

North Pole Mysteries.

The return of an Arctic explorer
clears up many mysteries. who says
that much new land was discovered
in Weddell Sea, and open water was
seen far to the south. This shows
that the great wall Of ice reported
by early explorers was a myth.
Arctic explorers are not the only
ones who meet with deceptious.

dyspepsia ihave been deceived so
many times that they believe there
lis no cure, They can be cured
