There Is plenty of light reading mat

piece OF stuff called, ''Thrown with Fa

Everybody's Magazine for November.


A new short story by Robert Barr,
entitled "The Wizard of Wall Street, !"
in Everybody's Magazine for Novem-
ber, has never been exceeded in it's
quality of interest by anything from
the pen Of that popular writer. In its
conception of certain Wall Street types
it is peculiarly true to life. "Kusng
Hsu, Emporer of China" is the title of
an illustrated article which deals with
the personal side of that almost un.
known personality, and which clearly
explains the underlying causes of the
Emderor's leaning towards Western
civilization and of his evident desire to
adopt measures Of sweeping reform in
his Empire. A story on tramp life,
entitled "a Dead One," is remarkably
impressive, while the philosophy of this
creature Of the Under World is most
entertaining. The hardshlps ald dan
gers TO which fishermen off "The Bankn
are constantly exposed, are vividly de
scribed by Captain II. D Smith of the
U. S. Revenue Cutter Service, in au ar
t1cle fittingly entitled "When Death
Rides On the Watersu A Tale of the
Grldiron Field" Is lively story of sea
sonable interest snd, like all the other
sixteen stories aud articles IN this
months issue, it more than we'll repays
the reader for his ten cent Investment.

Afro-American Soldiers and Their
Valor Lauded by Governor
Roosevelt.
BELIEVES HE SAVED the UNION.
sThe Afro-American Soldier HaA the
Faculty of Coming to the Front
When He Is Needed MOst-He La
aF First-Class Fighting Man"

Gov. Theodore Roosevelt hdSeXpla1nod
to a reporter his reported antipathy
to the heAfro,American soldier. In Scrib-
ner's Magazine for April, 1899, there
appeared an article by Mr.. Roosevelt,
which the democrats assert reflected
upon the bravery of the Afro-American
soldier. This article has been used as
campaign document, and has been
widely circulated among the Afro
American people Of the country. "The
democrats have attempted to make a
mountain out of mole HILL" said Gov.
Roosevelt. ''In the article referred to
/ made men tdon of an incident that hap
pened at San Juan hill.
Case of a Captains Order.
II had orders to hold certain posi-
tion, and was supported by the Tenth
cavalry (Afro-American). The posi-
ton was uncertain, and we needed
every man available to make the stand.
Two or three of the AfrolAmerican n sol
diers started to the rear in search of
water, as ordered by their captain. 1
rebuked the captain for lessening our
force, and commanded the men to re-
main. The statement I made after
that, so near as can remember, was I
have orders to hold this hill, and 1 in
tend to do it. 1 will shoot any man
that gives up this position
This is the whole story in nut
shell, and the effort of the democrats to
make political capital out OF the sim
pie incident shows what small cam
paign methods they are capable of
using.
Praises Black Mems Bravery.
my position with the Afro-American
people is too well known for these po-
litical tricksters to undermine it. I
would be the last man in the world to
say anything against the Afro-Ameri-
can soldier, because 1 know of his brav-
cry and his character. He saved my
life at Santiago, and 1 have had ocea-
sion to say 30 in many articles and
speeches. The rough riders were in a
bad position when the Ninth and
Tenth cavarly came rushing up the hill
carrying everything before them.
The Afro-American soldier has the
faculty OF coming to the front when he
is needed most. In the civil war he
came 100000 strong, and l believe he
saved the union. He has done excellent
work in all of the Indian campaigns.
and while I was in the west l had a
number of opportunities of witnessing
his wonderful work. He saved a mas
sacre of the Seventh in 1890.
Their Help at San Juan Hill.
AT San Juan hill the Afro7American
soldiers rendered an object lesson to all
OF the soldiers assembled there. They
sung and fought and pushed the lag
gard troopers up the hill and the great
victory at that point was theirs as
much if not more than any of the
soldiers there.
The Afro-American man can vote
for whom he pleases. He can follow
the dictates of his own conscience
That is why he has the franchise, to
exercise it, and use it for his best adj
vantage and the advantage of the coun-
try, which he has served 50 honorablv
with his sword, but 1 take great pleas
ure IN saying that he is a first-class
fighting man"

GETTING FAT ON EXPOSURE
Effect of an Army Trip Upon B Chronic
 Comp1ainer


 Comp1ainer.
 .It is wel1-knewn fact" said an obseryant citizen, that man out fishing or hunting will get fat on ex- posture that would infallibly kill him in town. Why this should be, science has failed to explain, but it is, never theless, true and has been especially noticeable in the experience of our vol unteer troops. l was out myself, so l know what I am talking about. Here fin the city I am subject to colds and suffer vortures from dyspepsia. Wet feet or a few square inches of pie will put me in bed with unfailing certainty and after I enlisted and the first glow of patriotism cooled off I was filled with apprehension and felt positive would never survive the rigors of camp life The result was exactly the reverse of what I expected, gof soaking wet, slept on the ground, ate fat bacon, drank bootleg coffee, and was Lever sick for moment. Natural ly thought my old sanitary precau- tlOHo WCl 0 dll dOdSCAoCy dlu W hOA returned I began to disregard them. Tn twenty-four hours I was flat on my back with an attack of pleurisy, and, assure you, my case was not excep. tional. As far as have been able to learn everybody else had substantially the same experiences. differing only in degree. Of course, there was an inn mense amount of sickness among the troops, occasioned by bad water, em- balmed beef, and other causes that could not be definitely traced, but 1 am speaking of the ordinary exposure and hardships incident to any cam paign. Why they should be so harm less outside of town and so deadly in- side corporate limits is a great mys- tery. It is one of the things, as Lord Dundreary observes, that no fellow can find out."-New Orleans Times Dem ocrat.

VICTIM OF HIS OWN JOKE.
Some Buzzard Eggs Which Reachsd [
 Wrong Destination.

This is true story Of Snerln Brookshire of Williamson county, Tex as and what came of his efforts to play practical joke on his wife. Sher- tf Brookshire is full of good nature, and the love of fun is his predominant characteristic. To get the laugh on friend is to him the next best thing to rounding up a band of horse thieves He is owner of a good-sized ranch, and while working out in a pasture near his home some time since came across buzzard's nest, in which reposed four as handsome snow-white eggs as the eye of man ever looked upon. The dis. covery of these eggs immediately set him to thinking of little game that he would play upon his faithful spouse. Wrapping them up with care he bore them to his house, intending to tell Mrs. Brookshire that he had been pre- senfed with some uncemmon1y inc egssfrom a fancy breed of chickens, and that it was the proper thing to put them under onA of her setting hens immediately. He knew how fond she was of having choice specimens of the feathered tribe, and shook with laugh ter as he pictured her disgust when these young buzzards should be matched out. Revolving these merry thoughts, he went into the kitchen to make the presentation. It happened that his wife was not there, and he placed them on table, intending to ho1 off fo lat at this time he was called out of his domicile on very important business. and the matter was of consequence enough to drive all thoughts of the joke out of his head. He stayed away B couple of hours and when he reached home supper was ready. Being rather hunAcy from his tramp In the pasture, the sheriff sat down to the table and ate with good relish the viands before him. Suddenly the recollection of his find flashed across his mind. My dear" said he, when I left the house awhile ago I put some eggs on the ta- ble wonder. Did you get them?" T certainly did, and you have just eaten them for your supper" quoth Mrs Brookshire. Why, what on earth ails your" as the sheriff clapped both hands about the middle of his corpor- esity and rushed for the open air. She thought, maybe, that he had been sud- denly seized with a fit of some kind, and follow cd to render assistance.

AN ART TREASURE
Found In the House of Man ForesA
 to Soil Ills EnectA


 New York Correspondence of the Chicago Times-Heraid: Through the financial misfortunes of an old New Yorker a famous art treasure. Ge- rome's .Consummatum Est" depicting .he crucifxion of Christ on Mount Calvary, has been discovered in this city Art connoisseurs say it Is worth from s25,000 to s30,000. At any rate 1t means that It's owner, whose name IS not diyulged, instead of spending the coming Christmas in penury. as hs dad anticipated, Is at least sure of enough to satisfy his present wants. IL was when this old New Workers affairs had reached such a stage that something had to be done, and that right quickly, that he sent for Clar- enee M. Darling of 124 West Twenty. sixth street. MT. Darling found him dlseonsolate in his home. He related his troubles and said that all he saw ln store was to sell his furniture. tapes- tries and bronzes, the remnant of once magnificent collection. MT. Dar- ling glanced around the rooms and saw at once that not much could be real ized, but as he was about to take his leave his eye suddenly caught glimpse of what appeared to be a dust covered painting carelessly resting on the top of wardrobe in a corner of the room. What's that up there?" he asked, Climbing on a chair and taking the painting down. The painting. while dust covered and dim. upon tn- spection proved to be in good conditioy and none the worse for its hard usage MT. Darling had not examined the can.e vas long when he uttered an exelama- tlon of astonishment, and declared that If Its genuineness could be au- thentically established it was easily to be valued at not less than $25 900 to S30,00O. MT. Darling recognized in one corner of the canvas the name of J. l.. Gerome, and subject as no other than the masters "Consummatum Est. Shadow of the Cross," or cruci- hxion of Christ on Mount Calvary. Az so the genuineness of the painting. it's owner recalled the fact that in his pos session was an autograph letter from Gerome, describing the painting and the circumstances under which 1t was painted.
