The Montgomery tribune. (Montgomery City, Mo.) 1892-1910, 1900-10-05

'Militarism', Imperialism are
terms used by newspapers, poll
ticians and platforms to scare the
people and catch votes. They are
weapons-utterly groundless ones
of the most dcmagogic import-used
to stir the people, which nc well
balanced statesman or newspaper
will use. There is no more danger
of either condition in this great in
telligent seventy million freemcn
and great aggregation of states
fortified by those States rights
recognized by our constitution and
sustained by our courts, than there
is of England becoming an abso-
lutte despotism.-Canton Miss

All the incidents OF the past prove
that the army will never have the
disposition to jeopordize the free
institutions of the country. Our
nation would be safe indeed, for
all time, did the mass of its citizens
place upon its institutions the same
intelligent appreciation as that in
which they are held by the army,
and were honor, integrity and re-
spect for the laws as much the rule
among the people as they are in
the army, which has given too
many proofs OF heroism, of integ-
rity, of devotion to the country, to
be regarded as a source of danger.
On the contrary, he who UNDER
stands It's history murt regard It
with pride and Subtraction a. one
hof the chief ornaments of the nation
as a school wherein are taught and
practiced the virtues of valor, self
denial, obedience and patriotism,
and as an institution which has
never called the blush of shame to
the face of an American.-George
b. Mcclellan, Democrat, and nom
inee for the Presidency in 1854.

Fighting Filipino Spiders.

Spider time has arrived, and the
Filipino boy is happy. He does not
know much about marbles, but when
spider time arrives, and that is just
after the rainy season commences, he
knows that he is to have great sport.
There are two harmless varieties of
spiders that are green and yellow in
color that mature in June. They are
as large as the common black spider,
so plentiful in California. The Fill
Pine boy catches these and keeps them
secure in a box. A small rod the size
and length of Knitting needle is pro-
cured. A spider is then placed on the
rod. Another boy comes along and he
bets a cent that his spider will whip.
Then the sport commences. The boy
who is challenged produces his spider,
places it on the rod with the chal-
lenger's. Both spiders make rush
for each other and a fierce battle en-
sues. Sometimes the stronger of the
two will wind web around the other,
fastening him to the rod, and COM
pletely putting" him out of business.
The spiders sometimes fight for ten
minutes. Nearly every boy has from
eight to twenty spiders, and they bet
all the Filipino pennies they can get
on the result of the ight.-Correspond-
ence San Jose Mercury.

case. Thus Providence the. capital OF
Rhode Island, has gained % per cent in
population during the last ten years;
Hartford. Conn, has increased from
$4,000 to nearly $4,000, or 80 per cent;
Trenton, n. J., has increased from 81,

Columbus, Ohio, increased from $4,000
to $4,000. a gain Of AZ per cent.
In fact, considering that the capitals
of American States have been fixed
chiefly with reference to their geo.
graphical situation and without refer
ence to their facilities for business COM
munication with other places, it is cause
for surprise that American capitals
should show so large an increase this
year. Thus Indianapolis. the capital of
Indiana, almost exclusively dependent
upon railroad connections, has increas-
ed from 100000 to neari.' 10000 popu-

Snake Stones for Snake Bites.

The subject of snake stones comes
up again, this time from South Africa,
where they are said to be somewhat
common, and are thoroughly believed
in. These are white porous stones,
which, when applied to a place bitten
by a snake adhere for time until the
poison is gone out from the wound into
the stone. They are then placed in
milk, which is said to cleanse them,
and so to render them again fit for
use. They are believed by the far
mers of South Africa to be taken from
the head of the snake.
A good many years ago, investiga-
ton into the subject in America show
ed that in certain cases, at least, the
snake stone was the calcined antler of
deer, from which all the animal mat
ter had been burned out No doubt
a bit of burned bone which had lost all
its animal matter would act in the
same way.
These snake stones are commonly
compared to pumiee stone, which they
measureably resemble in structure
and in lightness. + 1t would be interest
ing to lear2 just what these African
snake stones and what the Malay
snake stones actually are Forest and

Between Tanganylka and Lake Al

one-tenth the size of Albert Edward.
Mr.. Moore, who was accompanied by

larger than Albert Edward The north
end Of Tanganyika was found to be
fifty miles westward of its ascribed po-
sition.
The primary object of the expedition
was to dredge and sound the lakes,
with reference to the marine forms
which Mr.. Moore found there four
years ago. The question was whether
the jellyfish and crustaceans originally
got into Tanganyika by way of the
Nile or the Congo Having determined
that these marine species are to be
found in none of tie lakes north of
Tanganyika, Mr.. Moore believes that
Tanganyika was once Joined to the

FEATS IN STREET TRAFFIC.
Hauling Pine Logs More than FIT,
Feet Long Through Chicago.

Hauling Pine Logs More than Fifty
Feet Long Through Chicago.
The greatest feat to be seen in street
traffic in Chicago is the handling and
transportation of the loads of Norway
pine logs designed for use as piles in
building foundations. The trunks of
these pine trees are of such great
length that the average passer-by on
the street often wonders how in the
world the load of piles ever turns cor
ner.
1t is not an uncommon sight to see
knot of people collected at a street
corner watching the approach and skill
full turning of the long wagon with its
load of three or four piles. Turning
the corner and entering another street
at right angles is such difficult feat
that as rule the pines are taken,
through the streets at night when there
is nc traffic to interfere. Recently,
however, loads of them have been
driven through the heart Of the city in
the daytime. Naturally during business
hours taking them through tire streets
is attended with far greater difficulties
than at night. When corners are turned
the long poles, as they are transported
in an angling direction from one street
to another, practically blockade traffic.
Often when going, straight across a
street small blockade is caused, for

A CAPSULE FOR LUNCH

inquired tie grocer. IN bet my head
against one-cent postage stamp you
can't guess what she wanted. No? I'll

capsule down her throat Then she
laughed, thanked me, and said that

THE idea of concentrating foods has

the water, and then shipped five times
as much potato as it was possible to
ship before desiccation.

were so high in Richmond. Va, that
people brought their confederate money

pretty much the same thing if this con-

ASSOCIATE On Of farmers where too many
heads are apt to cause disputes and
chickering's. Milk sent to the creamery
pays all the way from u to % cents a
pound, and at this price the farmer is
making far more than by making his
own butter. This comparatively high
price is made possible because of the
better prices received for creamery, and
for the low cost of manufacturing it.
This latter varies because the size of
the creameries vary. The larger the
creamery the cheaper the butter can be
made. and this varies all the way from
l cent pound to cents. The two
extremes, however are exceptions, and
somewhere between them the actual
cost could be placed, say from 3 to 8
cents.-S. W. Chambers, in American
