probation of the ruler of the coun-
try he wrote long poem extolling the
virtues of the Sultan of Morocco and
sent it to him.
The Sultan, Muley Hassan, was 80
pleased with the act that he presented
the poet with a gift of four loaves Of
black bread. Now, in Morocco, the
present of a loaf of bread from the
Sultan is one of the highest honors
that can be conferred. The naughty
poet, however, would very likely have
appreciated the purse in which the
gold could be heard blinking, and he
was so chagrined that he gave the
loaves away to beggars who knocked
at his door for aims.
Judge of his modification when he
learned some days later that each loaf
had contained 100 ducats which the
Sultan had ordered to be placed there
in before the baking. Verify, it would
have been wise to have accepted the
crumbs of comfort, such as were Of

lat that moment. This picture also
shows Moro Castle in the distance

sunk by the Spaniards to prevent cap
ture, lying below it marked X.
A large towboat was lying at anchor
a little beyond the wreck and about
rs yards from shore, and from the
Roadway we had every one knew we
would run it down. AS soon as we
were clear of the Merrimac the cap
tain gave the order to let go the an

AS soon as the Roadway Of the YES

hauled up, but there was only one way
out to sea and that was the way we
came, squarely over the wreck of the
Merrimac and we slowly recrossed it
backwards passing again in front OF

down the smoke stack. Picture No. 8

fore we struck it. One of the Missis-

No. 4 was taken after we had passed
the wreck and is looking toward San

be seen of the Merrimac.

(From Cincinnati Enquirer)

Through an unusual journalistic en-
terprise, carried out by Mr.. M. A.
Cochran, Jr., son of the former COM
mander of the Sixth Infantry, sta
toned at Fort Thomas, the Enquirer
is enabled to present herewith a series
Of pictures taken under very unusual
circumstances, which show conclusive
ly and more clearly than any amount
of description, the entire futility OF
Hobson's gallant attempt.
Mr.. Cochran, charged with the mis-
sion of bringing home the bodies OF
members of the Sixth killed in the
memorable charge at San JUAN made
the trip on board the transport Mis-
sissippi, which, through an accident,
ran squarely over the highest portion
of the sunken Merrimac without once
grazing her bottom. In view of the
fact that the Mississippi draws 10 feet
10 inches of water, this occurrence
clearly demonstrates that the harbor
was not blocked, and the pilots say
that it would not have been blocked
even had the huge collier been sunk
Just where it was originally intended
to scuttle her.

ran, cleft Santiago at p. m. January

going out of the harbor, the Merrimac
would necessarily be on our port side,

bridge ready to take picture of the
wreck as we passed, but when we got
almost abreast our vessel swung, and,
refusing to answer her helm, headed
straight for the Merrimac. The en-
gines were put full speed astern, but
there was not enough distance to stop
the Mississippi. She crossed over the
Merrimac between the mast and funnel

product and arbitrarily fix prices and

the burdens of taxation grow heavier
day by day. If the present policy con-
tinues long we may not be surprised
to see our people flee from the factories
and farms to seek the positions of pri-
Yates in the army where they may at
least escape the annoyance of the tax
gatherer and become tax-eaters. The
fact that so many are ready to offer
themselves as soldiers is the worst pos
sible sign of the times.-Silver Knight

An enthusiastic advocate of manual
training estimates that 81 per cent of
the graduates of Chicago public schools
are unable to earn an adequate living,
because they lack an industrial educa-

a percentage of those who do not lack
industrial training are also unable to
earn, or at least to get, an adequate
living. An extension Of industrial
training, under existing conditions,
would make it harder, not easier, for
the great mass of per pie to command
decent wages.-The public.

Muster Out the War Taxes.

The billion and half dollars appro-
priated-mostly squandered-by the
last Congress, are every one Of them
extorted in sneak-thief way through
indirect taxation from people who
habitually need more dollars than
they get.
Aggregated wealth, monopolies, and
their enormous annual net profits are
not taxed at all for federal purposes.
Let us muster out the volunteers,
and let us also muster out the war
taxes. To do this we will first have
to muster out the Republican party
from control in Washington, for with
Hannaistic government the stamp act
is necessity. Mark Hanna himself
has said it.
The Republican bosses are firmly OPP
posed to an income tax, an inheritance
tax, franchise taxes or any other form
of direct taxation of the surplus wealth
of plutocrats. They dare not directly
tax the earnings Of the poor, but in
directly they load all of the burdens
of government upon the shoulders least

may incite to revolt: but there is
method by which you can tax the last

use and necessity so indirectly that the
people will pay them and not know it;
their grumbling then will be Of hard

hard times are caused by taxation"

The trust organizers in Wall street
are deliberately riding for a fall. In
bringing all manufacturers into the
various trusts these sharks are utter
ly reckless of the real values of plants
and properties, are buying out the old
companies at any extravagant price
asked, and are selling stock in these
new trusts at twenty times their value
They know that they are breeding
panic; but they are making money cas-
lily now, by selling something for moth
ing, and they the sharks) will also
make money out Of the panic. Know
ing panic to be inevitable they will
be prepared to shear as many lambs
during its continuance is during the
present Wall street boom.
The New York Investor has said
that panic may come any time, as a
result of the over-capitalization OF
trusts. Two other good Republican
authorities, Attorney General Haines
of Maine and Attorney General God
dard of Kansas, recently expressed the
same opinion in New York paper.
Attorney General William T. Haines
of Maine said: 81 expect to see the
greatest panic the country ever saw, in
less than five years, as result OF
trusts. All kinds Of properties are be-
ing sold to trusts for twice what they
are worth, upon which stocks and
bonds are being issued, and the cred
ulous public are investing their
money in the same. General bank
ruptcy and panic will sooner or later
be the result of these great combina-
tions."
Said Attorney General Goddard Of
Kansas: Another and very serious
danger to this country growing out OF
the formation of trusts and COM
bines,' and one that may strike every
business and every system in the coun-
try, Is the tendency to create these cor
porations with stock based upon flcti-
tious values, thereby increasing spec
ulation, which may take the form Of
the South Sea Bubble and result in a
general panic and period Of financial
trouble and depression throughout the
country"
Let no one imagine that some good
may come out of the great gold stand
ard panic that the best Republican au-
thorities admit to be inevitable in the
shape of breaking up or weakening
Of the power of the trusts. The re-
verse will be true. When the catas-
trophe comes all of the small independ-
ent factories will be ruined. The
trusts alone will weather the storm.
The collapse in the price Of all trust
stocks will bankrupt the small stock
holders, while the wealthy stockhold-
ers reap harvest by buying the
shares Of lame ducks at nominal
prices.
The coming goldbug panic will be
like all others. 1t will leave the rich
men fewer, but richer; the poor men
more numerous and poorer. And the
trusts will be more firmly in the sad
die.

MANS LIFTING POWER.
Strength Usually Reaches It's Maximum
In His Thlrty-First Year.

The muscles, in common with all the
organs of the body, have their stages
of development and decline; our
physical strength increases up to GER
tain age, and then decreases. Tests Of
the strength of several thousands Of
people have been made by means Of
dynamometer strength measurer). and
the following are given as the average
figures for the white race: The Gift
ing power" of youth Of II years is
$50 pounds; in his goth year this in
creases to 800 pounds, and in his Goth
and 31st years it reaches its height,
1856 pounds. At the end of the 31st
year the strength begins to decline,
very slowly at first. By the 4Oth year
Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1899-04-21

1t has decreased eight pounds, and this
diminution continues at slightly in
creasing rate until the 50th year Is
reached, when the figure is $50 pounds
After this period the strength fails
more and more rapidly until the weak
ness of old age is reached. 1t is not
possible to give statistics of the de-
cline of strength after the 50th year,
as it varies to large extent in differ
ent individuals.
