Ideas Become
Fast

Instances are numerous which show
how the fancies of the novelist may
become realities through men and
women reproducing in actual life the
imaginary scenes of the story teller.
It is we'll known that Sir Walter Be
SAINTS story Of "All Sorts and Condi-
dons Of Men" brought about the build
ing Of the Peoples palace in London.
Jules Verne's apparently wild flights
Of imagination in Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea" is probably
largely responsible for the wonderful
progress that has been made in sub
marine navigation, and the construe-
tors and operators Of these boats have
been already able to discount some OF
the novelist's fancies. When the city
Of Galveston was overwhelmed in an
Instant by the destroying waters tens
Of thousands Of people read the de-
tailed story in the newspapers and
wondered at the reproduction in this
catastrophy Of the Lafcadio Hearn's
story of "Chitu: A Memory Of Lost
Islands" The Galveston story, to the
sy1allest detlil, had long before been
dreamed and the dream told by the
pen Of Hearn. Those who have read
King Solomons Mines" remember
how Captain Good upon one occasion
when things were looking decidedly
dubious for the English adventurers
saved the lives Of himself and his COM
panions by skillful manipulation Of
his single eyeglass and his false teeth.
The recent outbreak in Ashanti fur
nished an incident which almost paral-
leled the one imagined by Rider Hag-
gard. Two Englishmen were in a ma
tive village far out on the western bor-
ders of the disturbed country. When
the war broke out all their native
servants left them and they were alone
with the hostile savages. One, a min
ing prospector went to a neighboring
chief for protection. The chief re-
ceived him kindly, gave him a meal
and, while he was eating, beat his
brains out with a war club. The other
man, Walter Bennett by name, a sur
veyor, was starting from his house
when he heard the fate of his compan-
ion. He made his way to another
chief who received him grimly, took
him into his house and then intimated
that he would shortly do things" to
Mr.. Bennett. The chiefs family gath
cred around to inspect their victim and
the Englishman adjusted his monocle
and sat down IN think things over

Actual Lie.

The single eyeglass at once caught the
fancy Of the chiefs wives and children
and they laughed and jabbered until
Mr.. Bennett had to laugh too. For an
hour or so the family Of the chief kept
the surveyor doing stunts" with his
eyeglass. When he managed to screw
the glass into the eye Of the CHEERS
favorite wife the hilarious rapture OF
the whole village was complete, ana
even the old chief laughed until his
woolly hair hurt him. Needless to say
Mr.. Benefits life was spared and he
was conducted to a place from Whlch
he could reach the British lines. Bib
ianiha is the name OF the village
where the surveyor saved his life after
the manner of Captain Good Of King
Solomon's Mines" You can't find it on
the map-at least not on the ordinary
ones-but It is probable that the vii
layers are laughing there yet at the
strange Englishman with the adJusta-
BILE eye. Some years ago Justin Nc
Carthy wrote a novel called RED Dia-
monds." In that story can be found
mang things which remind one of the
Molineux case. Captain Praven, sacre-
tary of the Voyagers' club in that story,
had an enemy called Bostwick, who
tried to kill him as, it is alleged, Moli-
neux tried to kill Harry Cornish, by
sending him some poisoned headache
powders, which came to the captain in
almost exactly the same manner as the
powders came to Cornish. And the
failure Of the plot is about similar in
manner to the failure OF the plot
against Cornish When Alaska was
purchased from Russia in 1867 no one
thought that it would prove a second
California as regards gold, but in that
year Bret Harte pictured Yankee min
ers swinging their picks in the midst
of wildernesses of snow and ice, and,
in fact, prophesied the Klondike out OF
the fullness Of his imagination. In

Cobbian has a criminal, in the custody
Of two policemen, scramble through
the window of a rapidly moving rail-
way train, leap from it to the ground
and make OF. The critics naturally pro-
nounced this incident as highly ex-
citing, but unfortunately impossible" ;"
Two days after such a criticism ap-
peared the London papers, under the
heading "Leaped from a Train"
chronicled an incident exactly similar
to that described by Mr.. Cobbian. Chi

ENGLAND'S
NEW r1OVE

One Of the most important announce
ments that have been made In the
British Parliament for many years is
the recent declaration by Joseph
Chamberlain, colonial secretary, that
the English government will not hesi-
tate henceforth to employ in Europe
or elsewhere its Indian and African
troops. It is an announcement Of most
profound interest to the entire civilized
world, but more especially to those ma
tlons which have millions OF semi
barbarous races subject to their rule.
Hitheto there has been a strong
sentiment against the use OF semi-civil-
ized races in the wars Of Christian
states. 1t Is a sentiment that found
expressinon In the eighteenth century
at Westminster, when the great Lord
Chatham denounced with such elo-
quent indignation the employment by
the British commanders in this coun-
try OF Red Indian tribes against the
American revolutionary forces. There
are few newspapers, either in the
United States or Europe, that did not
express their adherence of the use of
Cossacks and Circassians by Russia 10

and signed his name: John Smith,

clerk with that hospitable manner OF
the true hotel clerk, whats the best

turned pale as if he had been caught
in the very act. How dia you know

in surprise, for he had never been In
that hotel before. "Oh," laughed the
clerk, 1--WE been in the hotel busl-
ness a long time, and ! never saw
one OF them put down the name Of
his town yet. The only others I know
Of like that are from Oshkosh" Mr..

Several years afterward, at the time
that England seemed to be on the

tingent of Indian cavalry was brought
to Malta, which created such an out
cry and storm Of protest, even in Great
Britain, that the men were quickly

to Malta however, served to remind
Continental Europe of the fact that
the military resources of England
were not restricted solely to her stand

SAVED BY A MONGoOSE
Its Attack on a Cobra Prevented

A st. Louis man who has been en-
gagged in engineering work in India
brings home this story of an exciting
adventure with a cobra:
1--WE had Just finished a hard days
work and were preparing to take
good rest. We were far from VII
lage. on some hills, and took shelter
In a deserted hut. We did not reach
the hut until after midnight, and con-
seouently we slept late into the next
day. The first thing l remember upon
opening my eyes was a flood Of light
through the door. l was nearest, and
NV two companions we're behind me.
On a second glance my blood almost
froze. There on the floor Of the hut
and less than two feet from me was
large cobra, the largest l have ever
seen. It was coiled to strike and Its
yenomous neck swelled with poison.
The little eyes glittered like beads. I
never moved limb, but gazed at it in
horror. My perfect stiffness probably
saved my life, for If l had made
move the snake would have struck As
1t was, 1t seemed to be enjoying the
triumph, and slowly moved its head
backward and forward I dared not
utter a sound, as l knew that it would
seal my fate.
81 was just revolving in my mind
what to do and had determined to
make quick lear, when there was a
rush from far corner. A small ami
NAL about the size of rat darted out
from behind the snake and like
flash seized him by the neck just above
the hood. And then commenced the
iercest struggle have ever witnessed.
The snake plunged, writhed and
twisted, but the little animal clung to
1t. At length its struggles grew weak
or and was enabled to dispatch It

west, hating a liar, tells the truth;
having been surrounded, the game
killed--exterminated uselessly-he has
no way to get living and thinks 1t
only natural that the government
which took away his opportunities for
sustenance owes him food and ralment
The government says it does, and
sends agents to look after and provide
for him. Some of the agents former
ly accepted their places with the be-
lief that they had a right to rob the
very class that they were appointed to
protect OF course not all Indian
agents were this way, but many OF
them were and the Indian was blamed
because he refused to be treated with
the injustice that came from greed
the most cruel of all injustice-and ne
grumbled and fought. The Indian Is
supposed to be selfish and brutal-by
those who do not know him. There Is
no human being on earth who Will
more quickly divide his last mouthful
of food with a friend. No Indian that
ever lived would crowd a white-haired
old woman out Of the way to get on a
street car first. That sort OF thing,
and everything akin to 1t, that is dis
courteous, may be seen among the men
Of the streets Of all cities. Real men
do not do such things, no more than
all Indians do beastly things than
those who do not know them suppose
they do. The Indian has not had the
benefit of laundrles and porcelain
baths, but he jumps into the water and
washes himself every time he has a
chance. He does not live where there
are napkins and finger bowls, and he
would not know exactly which curious
little fork to use for this or that, nor
the precise manner in which he should
carry a spoonful OF soup to his mouth.
He has not been taught these things.
Neither does he guage his neighbor's
respectability by the number Of po-
nies the neighbor possesses, nor does
! he lie awake Of nights thinking over
schemes to win his neighbor's goods.
He thinks that one who Is able to pay
and does not do so is worse man
than he who is not able to pay. He
does not say to the former "He is all
right because he has money, though he
does not pay Just debts nor practice
deeds OF charity"

Indian Is
Maligned

Indian character has been greatly
maligned, says Maj. John NJ. Burke,
who has made a study Of the red men.
Treachery, so often charged against
them, has no part in their makeup.
The Indian has fought the man who
mistreated him, and he has always
fought openly. He has been the
friend-the unfailing friend-of the
man who has been kind to him, and
as given evidence that he wished to
help him. The Indian was the friend
OF Pere Marquette and Father De
Smet. The man who has shown him
a 'forked tongue" he has treated as
he would any other snake. The man
who has cheated him, has taken ad-
vantage Of his ignorance to make his
hard lot harder he has killed. The
Indian Is a child of nature, and he is
therefore candid and ingenious. When
wronged he knows 1t, and says so, and
his only way to get satisfaction is to
fight. There Is no chance for him to
LAY low" and wait for another deal.
He can only see what is in sight.
When Columbus came to America the
Indians were at first alarmed at the
great white-winged birds"-the ships.
The whlte-faced, strangely dressed
people who came out of them were to
the simple natives supernatural be-
ings. But when they saw that those
we're people who were hungry and
could eat, then the Indians brought
the best they had and gave it freely
for nothing, and were as kindly as
well-raised children. When the cruel
Spaniards beat them and misused
them, the Indians naturally enough be-
lieved that all white men were cruel
and dangerous. Cortez In Mexico and
Pizarro in Peru found the aborigines
a gentle people, but that did not de-
crease the relentless cruelty that al
ways grows out of lust for gold, and
so, for centuries with all their con-
tinuous generations, the Indian was
taught that the white man was his
heartless enemy; and he accepted the
lessons. There was no way to teach
him that not all white men were
greedy and cruel. Vice will go much
further to assert itself than virtue.
But, coming down to this very day,
