The Chances 70

The Chances for an African Republic.
The best parallel with South African
conditions may be found in certain con-
ditions Of our Revolutionary War. The
Boer cause is not more desperate than
was that Of the Americans during the
awful times at Valley Forge. When
New York and Philadelphia were in
the hands of the British-when rich
families we're vying with each other in
doing honor to British of1cers-when
Burgoyne was driving his great wedge
southwark to cut in twain the Colo
nies-when CORVALLIS was sweeping
unchecked up the coast-those we're
some of the times when the American
cause seemed h~opelessly lost.
In North America, England once
planned to control the entire continent.
Instead, there arose here a mighty re-
public. In Africa, she is planning to
control, first from the Cape to the Med
itterranean, and, this much gained, she
would gradually dominate all Africa.
IT would be but history repeating itself
If, instead, a republic would arise, with
its shores laved by the waters Of the
two oceans.-Saturday Evening Post.

MONEY IN RAISING A T
The Famous Coon Cats Of Maine Bring
as much as a Hundred Dollars.

The rearing of coon-cats is a coming
industry. Coon-cats are worth today
from five dollars to one hundred dol
lars apiece, and the supply does not be-
gin to meet the demand. Exceptional
specimens have been known to fetch
two hundred or even three hundred dol
lars. At the present time all of them
come from Maine, simply for the reas.
CT that the breed is peculiar as yet to
that state. Their popularity is such
that the business Of breeding them has
been rapidly growing during the last
few years in hat part of the country,
and one shipper, not very far from Bar
Harbor, exported in 1899 no fewer than
three thousand of the animals.
Strange to say there are compare
lively few people south or west Of New
England who know what a coon-cat Is.
II you ask that question down in
Maine" however, the citizens will seem
surprised at your ignorance, and will
explain to you, in a c~ondescending way,
that the creature in question is half
raccoon-the descendant of "a cross be-
tween a coon and a common cat"
Coon-cats have been recognized as a
distinct breed in Maine for so long that
the memory Of the Oldest inhabitant
runs not back to their beginning. You
will find several Of them in almost any
village in that part Of the world.-The
Saturday Evening Post.

IN AN ALLEY.
Sherman Grading Foreman Siugged
and Pockets Rifled at Cheyenne.

The foreman of n Of the Macarthur
grading outfits located on Sherman hill
came into Cheyenne yesterday morn
ing on train No. 1O2, which arrives at
1 o'clock, in company with two COM
panions. After putting up at a hotel
the party went out to get a drink. Pre-
vious to their arrival in Cheyenne the
foreman had been drinking heavily.
After the party had taken several good
sized slugs of forty rod he became sick,
and leaving his companions in a well
known Sixteenth street resort, went
out through the back door to get some
fresh air. His feet had scarcely land
ed in the alley before he was set upon
by two or nor men, and in spite of an
effort at self defense, knocked down,
then kicked and beaten numerically.
When his assailants became tired of
that sort Of pastime they went through
his pockets, but secured nothing Of any
value, except a little small change.
The companions of the unfortunate fell
low finally became alarmed at his pro-
longed absence and started out to hunt
for him. Just outside the back door
of the saloon, and within twenty-five
yards of the mouth of the alley, which
opens upon Capitol avenue, they found
him lying too drunk and badly beaten
up to regain his feet. He was unable
to give any connected account of the at
tack upon him, and subsequent rob
berry, and in view of the facts no at
tempt was made by his companions to
have the hold-ups apprehended. The
fellow was quite badly bruised, and his
face cut in several places, but the spe-
cial providence which watches over

No Place for Long Faces

No Place for Long Faces
These are days of compromise and
shilly-shallyings and lodging the devil
around the stump. when nine-tenths of
the people are afraid to say what they
think and the other fraction doesn't
think at all. Occasionally. however, is
found a a even in public life who
isn't afraid to call a spade by its right
name. Rev. Richard Harcourt, pastor
OF a leading Methodist Episcopal
church in Reading. Pennsylvania, is
such a a In an address which he
made before the Baltimore University
School of Medicine, the other day he
advised the graduates to rigidly ex-
clude clergymen from the sickroom.
and when the good brethren and sis
tern sat On their launches and howl
ed thereat he made the subject his
text for his next sermon. in which he
defended his position. He declared he
was correctly reported when he said:
Young doctors. the presence of a hap
py. cheerful man or woman in a sick
room may prove a benediction, while
that of n long-faced. sepulchral-voiced
Christian is almost certain death. His
solemn cOuntenance. his tone of voice.
his tip-toeing around the sick bed. is a
grave cause for alarm. but when he ap-
proaches the patient. and. with sad
countenance. looks into his face. feels
his pulse and then heaves a deep sigh
and says let us have a few words of
prayer such a dose of ministerial min
istration is enough to make a well man
sick and no doctor can overcome its
effects" The Rev. Harcourt is right.
The sick Don is no place to prepare
for death. and the man who is econ
verted' while looking into his own cot
fin is simply running a bluff on the
world which won't ego" up above. I'm
q~uestionably many deaths have been
fastened If not actually caused by the
unwise visitation of ministers or over,

Carlyle's Pet Pine.

Down in Chelsea, within a stones
throw Of Cheyne Row. there is a to-
bacconist who used to supply Carlyle
with his %favorite weed. Carlyle was a
constant and heavy smoker. Sir
Charles Gavan Duffy once suggested to
him that n who suffered SO much
from sleeplessness and Indigestion
ought not to smoke so constantly.
Carlyle replied that he had once
given up smoking for an entire year at
the instance of a doctor, who assur-
ed him that his only ailment was too
much tobacco, says the London Chron-
icle. At the end of the year he
was walking one evening in the coun-
try, so weak that he was hardly able
to crawl from tree to tree, when he
suddenly determined that. whatever
was amiss with him. that fellow, at
least, did not understand it." and he
returned to tobacco. and smoked after
ward without let or hindrance. In his
latter days he used a clay pipe made
in Dublin, and known as the Re
peal" He was unable to renew the
supply and Sir Charles Duffy assured
him that these pipes were strictly re-
served for true believers in Irish ma
tionality, and promised him a supply
II he qualified in the ordinary man

Mr.. Carnegie's gift of ten million
dollars in 5 per cent steel combines
bonds to the Universities Of Scotland
has been adjusted to suit all concern
ed. The gift becomes Immediately
available, and there is a formidable
list Of trustees, embracing many emf
nent men, and including n trustee
from each Scotch university, Half of
the income is to be devoted to the in
crease Of facilities for the study Of
science. medicine. modern languages,
history and English literature: the 9TH
err half to pay fees and assist students
in other ways, regardless of sex. and
in aid of preparatory schools, evening
classes and other O. of education
outside the universities. That is a much
broader and sounder form Of help than
the one first announced, to make tut
ton at the universities free to every
body. for most students would not de-
sire free tuition: and. then, to aid in
extending the work Of the universities
is much more important. 1t is a grand
gift; it will reach much farther than
the aid Of education in Scotland. wide
reaching as that will be; for it will pro-
woke emulation in England and other
portions Of the empire, and so react
for good on all parts of the empire.
This stimulation will have a far more
important effect than will the original
gift.-Salt Lake Tribune.

No Alarm Necessary


The citizens of the Lander valley
know how to work up an alleged In
dian scare. with all narrowing details.
to perfection. The military post at
Fort Washikie is a little shy of troops
Just ut present. there being but two
troops of cavalry stationed there. If
Uncle Sam could be convinced of the
necessity of sending a couple more
companies there at once it would
make an increased demand for the az
ricultural products of the valley. We
would not throw a stone in the way of
the success of the little scheme of the
L~anderites, and hope they may be sue.
cessful in having the garrison at Fort
Washable increased. But the citizens
of the state should not be alarmed
when they read the blood curdling de.
tails of alleged Indian uprisingS sent

the Denver and Salt Lake papers,
