iNFANTIlf TALK.

L
whose political stock in trade dur
ing the late campaign was that
dissemination of the idea that in
the event of President McKinley's
reelection he would establish in
this country policy of imperial
ism," or some other policy, through
which monarchial institutions
would be likely take root, are still
drawing heavily upon the Gre
dulity of their readers. Several
of them upon our exchange list
have not abandoned their delusion,
even though the people pro-
nounced against them week ago
Tuesday by a margin which is
simply appalling.
It ought to be evident to these
able editors, however, that large
majority of the thoughtful citizens
of the United States do not believe
a word they have said, and a
proper degree of fself-respect ought
to induce them to cease from
troubling and permit the public
ear for awhile to hear nothing
from them.
As a matter of fact, the idea
that President Mckinley, or any
other American of the present age
sufficiently intelligent to attain a
position of influence in the nation
al Government, would plan to
overthrow our institutions is su-
premely ridiculous. The most
that President Mckinley can do in
the short span still allotted to him
will be to serve out his new term
as President and retire to private
life, just as dozens of other Presi-
dents have done, loaded with
years and honors.
The President has no family up
on whom he could think of con-
ferring his office by succession,
even if he were TO dream that
such a succession were possible.
He has been born and educated in
a Republican school, and probably
never considered personal govern
ment in any relation except as
more or less, an unpopular form in
effete Europe.
For newspapers and politicians
to allege, therefore, that such a
thing as despotism or monarchy
could find a place in the United
States under a man of such high
ideals and unquestionable patriot
ism as Mckinley, is simply absurd.
All such talk belongs to the do
main of what Judge Estee used to
call "trundle bed trash" 1t is the
babbhng of children, and in this
case, although the children may
be mature and wear whiskers, it is
nevertheless infantile i'll the ex-
treme.
The progress of the United
States is toward more liberty and
higher civilization all the time,
and there is no power on earth
that can stem the tide. The ef-
forts OF any class of politicians, no
matter how numerous, to change
the current of events become
historical only by their childish
ness.

Snap Judgment.

There are great many Alabamians in Clifton. Among the colony are several ladies and gentleman of color, and lately they have been having troubles of their own. Sometime since James Wynne, a gallant darkey of old Alabam.', who took Horace Greeley's advice, became tired of this life of single blessedness and sent back to his old home after his girl, whom he introduced, upon her arrival, as his wife. Lula Pagan was her maid en name, and Lula is 8 fine looking mu- latto, young in years and full of spirits, and, as a natural consequence with one of her sex, she became enamored of Lee Birchfield who has been in the habit of stealing around and making love to Lula while his friend Jim was down town at work. Lee knew that they had never been married and he and Lula made it up between themselves to get married the first opportunity.
 Jim was summoned as a witness in the Ward murder case and went down to Solomonville week ago last Sunday and has not as yet, returned; but when he does get back it is expected that there will be "razors in the air. for Lula and Lee were quietly married last Wednes- day night at Morenci. They both VOW that they love one another and that when Jim gets back he can't come "fool- in 'round there."

Last Monday evening a gang of Mexi- cans got together on the north switch at Guthrie and quarreled. An altercation followed in which one Mexican had his head considerably bruised with bottle and received a shot in the left side, the ball coming out near the left kidney. Dr. Burtch went down Tuesday at noon and dressed the wound. He is of the opinion that is very serious wound and may result fatally. The wounded mans name is Francisco Garcia. The man that did the shooting, Tonias Hernandez, escaped.

The Remains of pauI Jones.

The remains of Paul Jones, the American sailor of the revolutionary war, having been located in an ob- scure Paris cemetery. which has long since been built over. a desire has been expressed to have the remains, if they can be located, removed to the United States. But the American colony in Paris has another plan. If Washing ton consents, it intends to buy the ground, remove the encumbering houses, and create public square. Over the grave of Paul Jones it would erect monument "a symbol of the old friendship of the two republics. In view of the object, the cost would be insignificant. The Paris authorities have 1timated that they will gladly seeef.t project. Long ago they nfsn5s reets after Washington, Fraflzlf md other American heroes.

MYSTERIOUS AFRICAN MINES.
Long Abandoned Shafts That Have In-
 terested Many Antiquarians.


 Besides the reefs which have been discovered on the coast there exists in Rhodesia all enormous quantity Of "old workings" mines which were worked in ancient times, but have long since been abandoned By whom these mines were worked will probably remain forever mystery. From old pottery and tools which have been found it is evident that these old workings were exca- vated by or under the direction of men of knowledge and intelligence su- perior to those possessed by the present inhabitants of the country. Gold was extracted from these mines by smelt- ing. many furnaces having been found. and alongside of them ancient molds in which ingots were cast. Several ruins have also been discovered in Rhodesia the magnitude and workmanship of which prove that men of superior civilization either inhabitatea or else occupied this part of the world few thousand years before us. To them are probably due the ancient workings which have been found. With the primitive instruments at their com mand these miners of q past age were only able 10 scrape the surface of the gold-bearing reefs. so that the quan- tity of gold which has been taken from the mines hardly affects their value, while they are q precious indication to the prospector and enable him to test the reef below the surface, and. as q rule, the site of most of these old work ings seems to have been selected by competent men, who chose the richest lsefs.

ALONG THE AMAZON.

Indians Sunk in Almost Hopeless Bar
 barism Inhabit Great Areas
 The trip of the United States gun boat Wilmington Up the Amazon river promises to be looked upon as one Of the achievements of the closing cen . tury. The commercial object of the Wilmington's cruise was to see how rubber was found in the natural state, and what manner of man it was who dwelt in the remote fastnesses of the great forests whence it came. During the gunboats stay the officers visited many Indian villages. The Indians were found to be apparently docile, but there was no mistaking their unciyil- ized state. Clothing, save a strip or tssSSo, sSo worn by the women, are unknown. The men are strong and muscular, and show great chest development. They are copper-eolored, of middle height, with well shaped limbs and small hands and feet. Their hair is black, straight and rather coarse, the features broad, cheekbones not generally prominent, eyes black, and, strange to say,. some times oblique like those of the Tartar races of Eastern Asia. The sole wea- pons in their possession are the spear and bow and arrow The bows are of great length, and in the hands of a skilled native can be made formidable In some of the native huts the Ameri- can visitors found curious objects which, on closer investigation, proved to be mummified human heads. This was significant, inasmuch as it proved that the tribe belonged to the class known as head hunters" a term de- rived from their habit of preserving the heads of their enemies killed in battle. The process consists in remoy- Ing the skull and treating itswith eer- tain herbs until the head has been re- duced to about one-sixth of its original i. size. The hair and features are pre- sserved intact, thus giving the head a very life-like appearance. The lips are sewn together with hide thongs, upon which are recorded the details Of the battle.

 NAMES OF DAYS.
Have Curious Derivations Which Few
 People Know.

Have Curious Derivations Which Fevy
 People Know.
 Last night was at stag dinner. where the company at large was asked from what source the days of the week derived their names, and only one man out of the twelve present could answer the question, and he was the man who asked it, and he was one day wrong at that, for I've since looked the matter up Sunday and Monday are simple enough, and in themselves suggest their derivation from the sun and moon, but with Tuesday we come to the ancient gods of our forefathers. the Engels, that hardy race that displayed the Briton and gave their name to the English people. Tuesday was named for Wi, their god of death; Wednes- day for 0din, Woden or Wotan. who occupies in their mythology position analogous to that of Jupiter on Mt. Olympus; Thursday for Thor, the god or air and storm and rain; Friday for ffe1a or F'reya, the god of peace, and Saturday possibly for Saeterr. an ob- scure god of their mythology, but more probably it takes it's name for Saturn. It would seem as though almost any one you would ask would know the derivation of these words of daily use, but I'll wager that not one person out of hundred can tell them correctly. It's like the surprise the Bible gives one not familiar with it, by the idioms and phrases they will come across when reading it's pages, that are fami- liar and colloquial in the language they use, but which are uttered without the slightest knowledge of whence they came on the part of either speaker or listener.-New York Tribune.

sAPPHrREs ARE NOT ALL BLUE
Other Tlnts Are Sometimes roune

Other Tlnts Are Sometimes Found
 Among Ceylon Gems.
 s'It is commonly believed that the sapphire is known only as a gem of 3 sich velvety blue in color," observed an experienced dealer in precious stones to the writer the other day. As matter of fact, the sapphire occurs in various hues In Ceylon, for in stance, where the finest specimens of this gem are found, it ranges from the soft velvety blue to the peacock blue, graduated in the latter to an almost faultless white. It also occurs in whites, greens and yellows, the latter shade being known as the oriental to- paz and the green the oriental emerald. The white sapphires are often found clouded or streaked with blue, so that many specimens are cut which are white when looked at transversely, but having a bit of fine blue tint on the under point. Then there is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as highly as the finest Burmese rubies. These most highly prized are of rich pigeon blood or rose-red color. Some very fine sapphires have been found jn Montana during the pesst ten years. The American gems are light blue, blue-g green, green and pink, but the deep blue and red stones, which are chiefly in demand as jewels, have so far never been discovered in any part of this country.

FINE COFFEE CROP.
Peculiar Way in Which the Natives
 Prepare the Bean.

Prepare the Bean.
 Coffee is exported from Puerto Rico in larger quantities than is any other native product, and while but little of it finds it's way into the American mar ket under the brand Puerto Rican. an immense quantity, according to Gen. Roy Stone, is sold here as genuine Mocha and Java. The average Puerto Rican countryman, even though his children have neither shoes for their feet, nor clothing for their backs, owns his private coffee patch, from which by occasional pickings. he secures enough of the little round berries to keep the family supplied. The exporting, how ever, is done by large growers--men who have plantations which cover hun dreds of acres, mostly upon the well drained mountain sides. The plants, or trees, as they are sometimes call ed, are grown at intervals of from six to eight feet, and after reaching 2 Blight of about five feet are trimmed off that no strength may be wasted in surplus foliage. The flowers, which are pure white in color, have rich fra grance. Each berry contains two seeds or beans and as these are gathered before fully ripened, they are dried in the sun. It is a common sight to sec coffee drying on burlaps, or mats, in the city streets. The average Puerto Riean has little or no use for a coffee mill He ha1xeS his coffee untiJ if is black, and then grinds it to a powder in huge mortar. When ready for use it closely resembles gunpoWder, the beverage made from it looking very much like ink. Some of the natives since the close of the Spanish regime, have learned to prepare a cup of coffee on the American plan, but these belong to very small minority of the popula- tion.-Leslie's Weekly.
