ARMING COMING MASTERS.

Going one day into the war depart
ment building at Washington, l stop
ped to look at the rifles, sabres, steel
shell, shrapnel and other deadly en-
gines on permanent exhibition in the
corridor just outside the apartments of
the secretary of war. What longest
held my attention was the glistening,
many-mouthed Calling gun, which in
action, with one or two men to operate
it, seems as if it must be as potent to
NOW down line of men before it as in
fancy was the little Vril wand that
swayed in the hand of the women in
Bulwer's story of "The Coming Race"
Turning to the orderly in regulation
uniform standing near l remarked:
"This is murderous looking ma
chine" "Yes," he answered, lit
would be very effective in a street
riot" I had not said anything about
street riots-had not thought of such
a thing. Yet this man, trained for
war, wearing the uniform Of the Unit
ed States army, and attendant upon
the very secretary of war, by this
short reply showed that his mind as
ISOLATED the Calling gun primarily not
with what we are accustomed to re-
gard as war-an armed conflict be-
tween nations or states or parties
within states-but with what we speak
of as temporary local disturbances to
be dealt with by municipal parties.
How should a matter of such purely
local concern as a riot come first in
the thoughts of colder, who does not
belong to municipality, or even to
a state, but to the nation at large as
represented by the federal govern
ment, which under the constitution is
supposed to have no jurisdiction in
state or municipal affairs, unless at
the call of legislature or governor?-

Frightening the Lions.

M. Foa, the French explorer, says
that lions have wholesome fear OF
AFRICAN wolves, which hunt in packs,
and do not scruple to attack even the
Lion. There are terrible battles in
which the lion succumbs to numbers,
and dies fighting. In connection with
the lions fear of wolves, M. Foa tells
was very dark night, so black that
trees could not be distinguished until
the travellers were close upon them.
Lions prowled about the party, one OF
them roaring from point so close
as to have an alarming effect on the
nerves. The animals could not be
seen, but they could be heard on all
Sides Reaching tree, the men found
one of their comrades with rifle cooked
peering into the darkness, trying to
discover the whereabouts OF the ami
mails, that could be plainly heard walk
ing among the leaves. A second man
was trying to relight a half-extin-
,guished torch. Still the lions could
be heard coming and going in the
darkness. At this point the ma
tive servant whispered the advice
to initiate the cry Of wolves in
the distance. The party at once be-
gan barking and shouting, "Hu! hu!
hui" in an undertone, as If the pack
were still at distance, while the man
at the camp made the same well-imi-
tated cry. The effect was instantane-
ous. There was the sound of a rapid
stampede across the dry leaves. The
lions decamped in a panic, driven OIL
by the supposed approach of a pack
of wolves. For the rest of the night
the party was undisturbed.

A SUBSIDY ROBBERY.
IN THE GUISE OF AIDING THE
NATIONS COMMERCE.
Where tho Hanna Payne Ship Grant
VIII Go IL Congress Passes the Bin
One Company VIII Get tho liens
Share.

If the Ship Subsidy bill becomes
law, the lions share of the bounty
will &C to a single company. Unccr
the Professions of the measure, the l'-"
ternational Navigation company WY
be e1tlsled to receive a subsidy fnf
twenty years of more than S2,S5O,O00 ~
year. In the aggregate, this CON-
pany's bounties will exceed S57,000,
900! A single company, operating for
private gain, will thus take from the
national treasury $57,OOO,OOO of tax
raised money. The International
Navigation company now has eight
ships under the American flag, ten
ships under foreign flags, and four
ships under contract for building In
foreign shipyards. 1t is to receive in
twenty years $57,OO0,OO0 Of the peo-
pies money as a gratuity to fatten
the dividends of it's shareholders. On
the fast steamers of the International
Navigation company the bounty to be
earned annually will be more than ten
per cent of the vessels cost when
new. The bounties will be large
enough to pay all the salaries and
wages of the officers and crews who
man the ships. 1t will do more than
that. 1t will be about large enough
to meet the payroll and to pay for the
ships supplies. Already the govern
ment pays the International Naviga-
tion company $757,5SO year for car
rying mails across the Atlantic. Only
four ships of the line are employed as
mail carriers. If the bill becomes
a law it will mean that the United
States will pay more to Senator
Hanna's bounty beggars every year
than Great Britain, Germany, Russia,
Austria and Spain combined, pay in
subsidies to their merchant marine.
And the largest part of their subsidies
are paid for carrying the mails. Ger
many pays only $1,694,620; Russia,
$1,163,1S7; Austria, S172,249; Spain,
$1,G29,927; Great Britain, $5,762,572.-

Peanut Butter.

According to prominent dealer,
peanut butter is rapidly becoming an
important commercial product. 1t Is
made by grinding peanuts very fine
and reducing the mass to paste, from
which a large part Of the oil is re-
moved. A little salt is then added.
Many physicians recognize the nutri-
tious value Of this butter. 1t has all
the wholesome qualities of nuts with
out being so indigestible. Peanut but
ter is excellent for the poor, too, for
1t contains quite as much nourishment
as ordinary butter and is much less
expensive.

Royal and national colors vary with
nations and times, but since Cain slew
/ Abel blood-red has been the sign of
revolt. In the earliest revolt known
to history, when the Persians rose
against their king 1000 years ago, they
were led by a blood-red banner, and
during the riots which took place in
Paris the men in the blood-red caps
were followed by the mob. A blood
red flag waved over Bunker hill when
the Americans fought for liberty,
and it was the emblem Of the German
peasants in their great uprisings in
1424, 1892 and 1926. Blood-red was
the color of the trade union flags dur
ing the middle ages, and it formed the
background of the emblem Of the Swiss
confederacy in 1915.

A MINNESOTA FARMER
WRITES OF WESTERN CANADA
WHERE HE'S SNOW LOCATED.
The Farms In HI, Neighborhood Are
Being Rapidly Taken Up by Former
Residents OF the United states.

The following extracts from letter
written to Mr.. Benz. Davies, Canadian
government agent at st. Paul, Mimi,
give an excellent idea of what Is said
of Western Canada by those who have
gone there during the past two or three
years.
when we first arrived here and took
up our homes on the prairie near
Dalesboro, ASA, for a short time we
had a fit of the blues but now all
hands are settled to business, hale,
hearty and contented enjoying the
finest winter we have ever seen. We
have got very comfortably situated,
with considerable preparations for
crop, and all hopeful. l think this Is
very fine country, and If the past sea-
sons crop is not an exception, which
they claim not, believe this is going
to be the wheat field of the West. 1t
is filling up fast. In this township last
spring there were 25 quarter-sections
of land vacant and today there is not
one l can stand at my house and
count ten houses where there was not
one last spring, with six more to go up
this spring. This is only a sample of
what is going on all round. We intend
to build church next summer, right
close to my place, so we will be strictly
in line. 1t would have amused you to
have been here last spring. There
were crowds of land-seekers, and some
times in the spring the prairie is not
very inviting, and of course lots We're
disconnected. There was one in the
crowd who jumped on me for putting
a letter in the paper, only for which
he never would have come here, and
he was very hostile, but eventually he
got place and today claims he would
not take a thousand dollars and move
out, so am glad he is satisfied.
well, my dear sir, as Arthur Fin
ney Is about to move out in March,
with his family, and also one of my
sons, anything you can do for them to
assist them along and to make things
smooth as possible, will be greatly
appreciated by me. l will close for
this time, and will write from time to
time to let you know we are living.
Drop us few lines to let us know
how things are moving in st. Paul.
yours Respectfully,

TOOTHACHE
Suggested ms the Cause of tho Sudden
Frenzy OF Elephants.

81 told you the other day about the
Sultan of Zanz,bar's clock" said Rob-
Iert Crawford, "but there was another
thing I heard of while in that country
which Is not without interest. The
Sultan used to take me round to show
me the place and of what it's trade con-
sisted. 1t is the greatest Glove raising
country in the world, and as such con-
iveys comfort and courage to out be-
tween the acts theater goers the world
over. Other spices and cocoanut rope
are also important features of their ex-
sale of that which they raise within
their own borders their revenues are
largely increased by the trade in ivory.
Zanzibar is the greatest market for
South African ivory, which is brought
there in large quantities from the in
terror. This ivory is placed in large
warehouses, from which 1t is either
sold at once or else held therein for
better market. The man in charge
tof these warehouses was a very in
iteresting character-an expert in
Ivory. He told me many curious things
about it, and among others propounded
the following theory as an explanation
lof why elephants go mad and occa-
sionally run amuck: In the warehouse
were pair of magnificent tusks, meas
iuring IA feet from tip to tip, which in
life must have been carried by ver-
iitable Goliath among elephants. The
expert in showing me these tusks
pointed out the fact that while one of
the tusks was complete and flawless,
the other was broken off at the point
and showed deep scratches and abra-
isions throughout its length. Now
said he, if you will look near the base
you will find hole made by decay
that had struck into the nerves and
given that elephant a toothache, and
think what a toothache of toothaches
a fourteen-foot tooth must have held.
In his efforts to relieve this pain the
elephant rubbed his tusk against rocks
and trees and drove it into the earth,
which mutilated it in the manner you
see here. have frequently come across
places where an elephant has ripped
up great spaces in a forest and torn
down trees, and l am positive that
toothache was the cause of this frenzy.
AN elephant in a circus going suddenly
mad and killing his keeper is not an
uncommon thing, but I'll wager that
in nine cases out of ten if they would
properly investigate the matter they
would find that the brute's sudden
frenzy sprung from so ordinary
cause as common, everyday tooth
ache. New York Tribune.

One Kind Of Assimila ton.

In 1875 the Rothschild family own
ed less than a thousand millions Of
dollars; now they own two thousand
millions of dollars; in twenty years
this wealth has doubled. Millions Of
men and women who never had any
personal dealings with the Rothschilds
have worked early and late to build
I'D the golden holocaust. And within
the lives Of men now young and hope
lessly wandering from place to place
in search of work and a living, are
remaining at home with parents scarce
able to maintain themselves, the pos
sessions of the Rothschilds will double
and human misery will double again.

CHARITY NEEDED AT HOME.

What is the situation in this, our
country, that it should encourage us
with the belief that we are in posi-
ton to do house cleaning for the Fill
pinos? Let us see what a birds eye
view reveals to us:
Thousands of children dying every
year in our large cities for want Of
pure air and sufficient food. Would it
not be we'll for us to regenerate our
selves so as to prevent this child
slaughter, before starting in on the
F1lipinos?
Thousands Of women forced into
lives of shame every year, in order to
obtain means of support. Would 1t
not be we'll for us to regenerate our
selves to as to prevent this sale of
women's bodies, before starting in on
the Fillpinos?
Thousands of men annually degrad-
ed into criminals or Migrants, thus
becoming a menace to all the members
of society because of irregular en-
pleyment. Would 1t not be we'll to re-
generate ourselves so as TO prevent
this degradation of human lives, be-
fore starting in on the Filipinos?
Half the wealth of the country in
the hands of a few hundred men,
while half our seventy-five millions of
people are living hand-to-mouth ex-
istence, hardly knowing one day where
they are going to get food the next.
Would it not be well for us to regener-
ate ourselves SO as to prevent these
