of Wichita county, Kan, has just abol-
ished the poorhouse, there being no
more paupers in the county. One old
soldier is the only dependent person in
the county, and he is being cared for
by popular subscription, SO the county
may be said to be pauperless. Ten
years ago there were over 500 paupers
In Wichita county, but the crops have
been SO large since then that every
body has made plenty of money. No
tramps are allowed in the county.
They must work or leave.

Overindulsence In Coffee.

Coffee is a powerful irritant Of the
cerebro spinal nervous system. Re-
cent tests have shown that it increases
retards it, as has been claimed. COT
fee poisoning is sometimes mistaken
for the troubles engendered by the use
of alcohol. In both cases the stomach
and nervous system are the sufferers.
Caffeic and alcoholic gastritis are
nearly identical as to their symptoms.
The use of coffee by children has in
several cases caused an arrest of de-
velopment. Cases have been reported
Of delirium tremens brought on by the
excessive use of coffee. 1t Is related
in foreign medical journal that a
man, in the absence of his wife, I'M
dertOok to make his own coffee. Not
knowing the correct proportions for
use, he took about one-quarter Of a
pound Of fresh roasted coffee for two
cups. Two hours afterward he COM
planned of vertigo, headache and, at
first, trembling Of the legs only, which
soon became general, followed by sew
eral other distressing symptoms, some
of which continued a day or two
longer.
By busy physician it is stated that
at least two-thirds of his practice
comes from the excessive use Of coffee.
The excessive use of tea and coffee,
as>well as the use Of alcoholic liquors,
often almost wholly obliterates the
sense of taste.-Health Culture.

Oh, why do they strike with a full

In the morn of prosperity's reign?
The OK is content with his fodder and

Then why should the miner COM

The OK must compete with his fellow
On the other side of the lea;
But tariff protects the miner from coal
That is dug beyond the sea.
The tariff protects his feet from shoes
And his back from pauper wool;
Then why is he fool enough to strike.
When his dinner pail is full?
Oh, why do they strike when the

And there's plenty of work to be
done,
And the great mills grind their iron
grists
From the rise to the set Of the sun? +?

Concerning the CoIored Soldiers.

In Scribner's Magazine in April, 1899,
page 346, Col. Roosevelt made the fol-
lowing reference to the colored soldier:
"None of the white regulars or
Rough Riders showed the slightest sign
Of weakening; but under the strain,
the colored infantrymen (who had none
of their officers) began to get little
uneasy and drift to the rear either
helping wounded men, or saying that
they wished to find their own regi-
ment. This l could not allow, as it
was depicting my line; so / jumped
up and walking a few yards to the
rear, drew my revolver, halted the
retreating soldiers and called them out
that I had appreciated the gallantry
with which they had fought and would
be sorry to hurt them, but that should
shoot the first man who, on any pre-
tense, whatever, went to the rear. My
own men had all sat up and were
watching my movements, with the
utmost interest, so was Captain
Howze. ended my statement to the
colored soldiers by saying, now
shall be very sorry to hurt you and
don't know whether or not l will keep
my word, whereupon my cowpunch-
ers, hunters and miners solemnly nod
ded their heads and commented in
chorus, exactly as in a comic opera:
He always does, he always does.
"This was the end of the trouble,
for the smoked Yankees, as the Span
iards always called the colored sol
diers, flashed their white teeth at
one another, as they broke in broad
grins, and l had no more trouble
with them, they seeming to accept me
as one of their own officers"

In the Century for Feb 1888, On ar

Roosevelt, entitled Ranch Life in the
Far West On page 502 appears the
following: when drunk on the vii
famous whisky Of the frontier towns,
they (the cowboys and rough riders),
cut mad antics, riding their horses in
to the saloons, firing their pistols right
and left, from boisterous lighthearted-
ness rather than from any viciousness,
and indulging too often in deadly
shooting affrays, brought on either by
accidental contact of the moment,
or on account Of some ong-standng
grudge, or perhaps because Of bad
blood between the ranches or locali-
