No matter how admiringly Mr.. Ham

of sound republican principles; as
concerns dangerous TO our political
and economic institutions. Although
the last national platform condemned
the trusts, and although the next one
is expected 10 present an even more
vigorous condemnation of them as
public enemies, the national chairman
has seen fit to perslstently and ag-
gressivcly defend and uphold them;
to make himself, in fact, their most
conspicuous champion. 1t is indis-

The cake walk proper had its origin
among the French negroes of Louisi-
ana more than n century ago, says-the
New Orleans Times-Democrat. There
Is little doubt that it is an offshoot of
some of the old French country dances.
1t resembles several of them in form.
From New Orleans it spread over the
entire south and thence north. 1t was
found of convenience to the plantation
negroes. They were not welded by IL
cense, and it was seldom that the serv-
Ices of a preacher were called in. AT a
cake walk a man might legitimately
show his preference for a woman and
thus publicly claim her for a wife.
In effect the cake walk was not diff
ferent from the old Scotch marriage
which required only public acknowl-
edgment from the contracting parties.
So this festival became in some sense
a wooing, an acceptance or a rejection
and ceremony. This explains its pop
ularity with the blacks outside of it's
beauties. with the accompaniment Of
music, which is competent at all times
to command negro support.
Cake walking has improved, as do
most things that are constan ly prac-
ticed. 1t has lost it's old significance
in the south. Negroes now get married
folks fashion. 1t has become, howev-
er, pantomime dance. Properly per-
formed, it is beautiful one. The cake
is not much of prize, though the ne
gro has a sweet tooth.

WHY HE LIKES MUSIC.
A Physician Whose Reputation ms q
Critic Was Blasted.

There's physician in Baltimore who
| adOreS music. His taste, to be sure,
runs rather to "Old Black Joe.' "Su-
wannee River" and such classics, but
still any sort of music will do, and he
listens to it all ecstatically and with a
properly intelligent look on his face.
1t was therefore believed that he had
a fine taste for harmony, and his repu-
tation as critic was established and
grew apace as regulations will, good or
bad.
The other evening as his daughter
approached the house in which this
physician lived she heard the strains
of "Home. Sweet Home" proceeding
from the library.
Fathers at 1t again." she said to
herself softly. 81 wonder who he has
coerced into playing for him now?"
A glance disclosed the fact that he
had bribed three street musicians. two
violinists and q harpist into giving
him a private recital. They finished
the air just as the young woman enter
ed. and the physician turned to her
with beaming face. THAT Nearer,
My God, to Me- is a beautiful thing,
isn't it?" he asked.
1t was the first time he had commit
ted himself on the subject of tunes"
and his glory began to diminish from
that moment, for his daughter told the
incident as what she considered an eK-
cellent joke.
Now the worthy man says that he
likes music solely as an incentive to
thought and listens to 1t when he wish
es to solve some knotty problem of ar
terry or bones, just as those who suffer
from insomnia go to church and listen
to the sermon to be put to sleep.-Balti-

HIUeu her damp bundle to leave the
studio Finiguerra noticed that it had
rested upon one of his engravings and
had received an excellent impression
from it The engraving, like all others
of that time. was a metal plate COM
plete in itself and was regarded as Il
single picture. The impression made
upon the damp cloth suggested to the
alert mind of Finiguerra the possibility
of producing an indefinite number of
pictures from Il single original. BY eX-
perimenting he perfected his discovery
and eventually made it possible for all
homes to have beautiful engravings.
for previous to his discovery only the
wealthy could afford them.
