was a dark bay, 10 or II years old,
about Is hands high and had black
name and tail. His foretop and
fetlocks can not be very long now
for they were cut off short in July
and may have been trimmed since
he was stolen; his tail was also
bobbed off in July. There was a
mark that somewhat resembles the
letter y on side of his head, back
of and a little above his left eye.

Don NJ. Dickerson and a few
other gentlemen who left the De-
mocrat party in 1896, after enjoy
ing its honors and emoluments for
years, are now talking about re-
organization on new lines. What
these gentlemen want, in brief, is
the turning down of the present
leaders and setting up of the old
ones; a renouncing of those doc
trines that mark the Chicago plat
form as the new declaration of in
dependence, and the setting up of
a confession of faith that will con-
form TO the demands of the trusts
and all the allied forces of money,
greed and avarice. In other words,
these cast off leaders think seven
millions of voters should surren-
der their convictions upon ques-
tions that involve the life of the
Republic, place the party's banner
in the hands of those who refused
longer to follow it in '96, renounce
the old faith, embrace the dollar
as the household God of the land,
and follow the prophets of Baal to
kingdom come. The Democratic
party was not founded upon such
an idea of the submission of the
masses to the domination of the
few; it has not been held together

External enemies no longer threaten
the union and integrity of tine country
but internal ones are plotting against
it's existence. To discover these and is
olate them, to eliminate the causes
which render possible their insane pro-
p~aganda-in q word, to protect threat
ened society, is to give back to it the full
consciousness of its rights, OF it's func-
tons, of it's duties. Economic unity has
not yet been entirely attained, but in
spite of all it asserts itself day by day
through the eXuberant vitality of this
country of ours, protected by the genius
Of industry, blessed by the fertility of its
soil.
Moral unity, on the other hand. is yet
to be initiated.
The new kingdom of ITALY has the duty
to live up to its traditions and to it's
origin; therefore it must be sincerely
liberal; it must strive to harmonic the
wants of the divers classes with timely
and impartial legislation.
Such a policy Will prove to the masses
how fallacious are the agitations OF
which they are the unconscious instru-
mentality, and how those agitations are
i~nefficacious for the alienation of their
sufferings. For to say that the social
question affects only the tiller of the
soil and the toiler of the factory is to
circumscribe it. 1t affects a!so the low

who are battling between the X
man and the property holder, between
the laborer and the capitalist, between
the toilers and the functions OF the
state.
n class of people is the one which
turns out the disconnected, the perpet-
ual agitator, the philanthropist by pro-
f~ession, who disturb the peace of mind
of the masses under preteXt of redeem
ing them. We do not solve the social
problem by limiting our efforts to the de-
fence of labor from the persecution of
capital. Such a programme would. politi-
cally, be short sighted, and GOULD only
produce greater public poverty, because
poverty is not a cause but an effect.
The new kingdom must harmonic
this conflict. Capital and labor are the
two Instruments of human activity and
of social wealth.
But our labor legislation must be re-
formed and modified by combining our
selves to the highest conception of
human freedom and not to the egotism
of school,.

tney surveyed We're cast up by the sea
aIter being shipwrecked on to the shores
OF their future domains; and they have
the sea.
Such was the case of John Curtis,
sometime king of the Caroline Islands.
Whilst first mate of the good ship
Flora E. Stafford" he was wrecked off
AFTER drifting o for fifteen days tn
an open boat n enduring most terrible
prlVatlons. Curtis was cast ashore on
one of the islands. To his great surprise
ne discovered, when we'll enough to know
anything, that he had been treated with
the greatest hospitality, and his aston
ishHent was great when he earned from
the king, Ickickee by name, hi he was
to marry that monarch's daughter, Prin-
cess Taale.
The old king declared that Curtis
coming had been foretold in a dream.
ana insisted upon the marriage. and
also upon the white man sitting in his
stead on the throne. The prospective
honor was too much for Curtis at first,
and he refused both throne and daughter:
But he was compelled to accept event.
ually, being given no choice.
He reigned for three months. At the
end of that time he was heartily sick
of court life in the Carolines, and ionged
for civilization, with it's attendant COM
forts. So he maintained a sharp look
out for steamers and made a dash in a
boat for the first that passed that way.
That the queen did not wish to lose
her king was apparent from the fact
that, realizing what he was about, she
followed the boat out into the water,
reckoning n calling him to return.
AS he did not she threw up her arms
desparingly and sank beneath the waves.
1t is open to doubt if King Ickickee's
action in abdicating in avor of the
castaway was to the liking of his peo-
pie, for Curtis saw from the deck of
the steamship. which he was successful
in reaching, flames shooting from the

Gabrielle d'Annunzio's method Of
working is as original as his work itself.
At certain seasons he devotes himself
wholly to literary work, and that MOTH
ing may disturb him he goes to the
try house of his friend Michetti, the
painter, and there, in a large room, he
labors over his roGnances.
This room has no door and no staircase
leading to it. In the morning a ladder is
placed against the window and d'Annun-
Zio climbs up to his desk, after which
Michetti removes the ladder till oon

guest a light luncheon, after which
d'Annunzio works again till evening,
when the ladder is at his service again.

CIVILIZED KINGS
Of: SAVAGE RACES
Many Men Have Unexpectedly Drop
ped Into the Position and Found
It a Tenable One.

There is something eminently salts
factory in being a king, despite the
drawbacks reputed to be attendant on
the wearing of a crown and hat salts
faction is little less if one is only a king
of a ten mile square island and of dusky
colored subjects who are not over-fet-
tored by the trammels Of civilized ma
tions.
- 1t is better to be a monarch of such
a country and such a people than a
slave in the cities of the civilized, and
most men who have had the good for
tune to drop in quite unexpectedly for
a kingship have found the position, with
all it's disadvantages, most tenable.
81 The white king of a savage race has
been the subject of a good deal of fic-
tion, but that he ever existed outside
the realms of the writer's Imagination,
readers have probably never believed.
But he has prevailed in the flesh in q
good many parts of the world, and de-
spite the earth lust which has seized
upon the Great Powers, resulting in the
absorption of any and every little un-
protected isle. there still remain a few
white men who are absolute rulers of
islet Kingdoms.

temple, accompanied by the sound Of
m%usketry; q contest for the throne
was on.
Before the British government in 1874
took possession of the Fiji Hands, and
appointed a governor over the whole
group one Of the islets was ruled over
by an American Tine Captain Rodney
Burt. .tI
He was not shipwrecked. but volun-
tarily went to the Fijis in 1859. His
father was a seafaring a and Rod
ney then was a sickly youth, who
thought that the air of the South Sea
would suit him better thar that of Con-
necticut, whence he hailed. Thus it came
about that he took up his residence upon
one of the eighty inhabited islands-tha
remainder of the 260 were not peopled.
He was PROMPTLY adopted by the king
of the island land married to a niece,
acquiring at the same time the dignified
rank of prince.
When the king grew old Prince Burt
became the virtual ruler of the island,
displacing the kings brother, who was
exiled to the title of sea king. He
reigned until 1874, when Thakombau,
king of the ruling tribe of the whole forty
tribes inhabiting the islands, coded the
group to England.
Illika is the name of a kingdom com~
prising four small stands in the New
Hebrides Archipelago. The ruler of this
island quartette is King Oumalea, other
wise Colonel John Hobbs, an American
citizen hailing from South Caroline. He
has reigned over the ikian now for
eight years. He had been shipwrecked,
and was found by some Illikian fisher
men after drifting in a small BOAT for
two days.
He became the kings adviser, and
later on, when the king departed to
the happy hunting grounds, Colonel
Hobbs assumed the monarchy himself,
with the full consent of his 30, 900 toI
10000 dusky subjects.
