does moi sing, he is not beautiful to look

and worms, OF a sort to cause any annoy

IT is rather amusing to read that Miss
Stone has started in to convert the
brigands to Christianity. II she had
only known it she might have begun a
crusade on those fellows long ago and
been a free woman now, for they would
have turned her loose in sheer despara-
ton, rather than to have to turn Chris
tian and give up their trade OF brigand-
age.

A kansas Joint.
,y William Allen White.

By William Allen White.
 As matter of fact there have been joints in Emporia, and there may be now and there will be for many hun dreds of years. But they are in barns and dirty back rooms and in box stalls of livery stables, and houses which the neighbOrs talk about They are sporadic. As fast as the police learn where a joint is they smash it.. The fact that you get a drink in box stall last month is dead sure sign that you'll have to refresh yourself behind another manure pile if you want a drink this month.
 There has never been a joint with a bar and fixtures in Emporia, I here never will be so long as the present sentiment prevails. The joints that do exist are dirty. You have to drink out of a goblet that has thumb marks all over it, and the only patrons of these joints are dirty negroes and white trash. No business man ever makes an appointment there. No chairs are reserved for loafers. The joint stinks, and the only fixtures n in the place is plug tobacco box full of salt to sprinkle in your beer, and sometime a tub of water in which d tumbler iS sOuSed. It is not a place of recreation and amusement-thiSs spo- radio, preambulating, predatory Elm poria joint. It has never yet enticed man from home. It hasn't made a town drunkard Its victims are men who would go to hell from choice. because of the society there, and it has no standing with either God, man or devil.

Prohibition a Failure.

"1he Carrie Nation outbreak in Kansas is another demonstration that temperance by legislation is bound to ne d failure" says Mir. Beniamiu J. Polk, of Augusta, Maine. "To attempt by legislative enactment to prevent the sale Of liquor is repugnant to the theory of government; it attempts to take away the the rights of individuals where they are not in conflict with the rights of society as a whole, and such attempts must always fail. No fair person can contend that if man wants to take a drink of liquOr, his doing 50 Is a menace to society. A drunken man may be social menace, but separate laws are passed to deal with him, and they are successfully enforced.
 'NU one will deny that it is men ace to sell liquor to young boys and other irresponsible persons, and when the liquor dealer has been convicted or these things the law has succeeded in punishing him, To attempt. though by law, tO say that men in the full possession of their faculties. shall not buy liquor iS treading upon the liberty of the individual, and while such laws may be allowed 10 stand upon the statute books they cannot be enforced. Society undoubtedly has a right to regulate the sale of liquor, and l believe some of the leading tenn perance workers of the country are not in favor of attempting more by law. They know the sale of liquor will only be a thing of the past, when men no longer desire to buy it. and they rightly bend their energies to discourage the use of intoxicating drinks.

SNAKES AND BEASTS
In india, in 1899, They Killed More Than 6,OOo Persons and
 100, 900 Cattle.

The home department of the govern ment of lndia has one sphere of nctic- ity to which nothing analogous can be found Ill this country namely, the destruction of wild beasts and poison ous snakes. During 1899 the number of deaths among human beings attri- buted to wild animals was 2966. For tunately, however, the number IS be- l low the average of the last four years aud much lower than the number ti2S3) reported 1897. In 1899 tigers caused the death of s99, wolves of 33S and leopards of 327 human beings, while bears, elephants, hyenas, jacknls and crockodiles were accountable for a large proportion of the remainder, says the London Times.
 The tiger Is most destructive m Ben gal, about half of the whole number of victims of this animal being reported from that province Maneaters have especially troubled certain districts, and liberal rewards have been offered for their destruction. In the Bhamo district of Upper Burmnh n single man eating tiger killed about 20 persons A special reward of loo rupees was paid for its destruction. More than half of the deaths from leopards oc- cured in Bengal, while more than threefourths of those from wolves oc- curred in the northwestern provinces and Oudh. Special measures were talk en to hunt down particularly destiuc- tive pack near Cawnpur. High re. wards were offered and hunting parties organized, but without much success.
 The loss of human life from snakes reached the high total of 24, ,62I, a greater mortality than in any one of the four preceding years. Nearly half the deaths occurred in Bengal while the northwestern provinces and Oudh came next with nearly one-fourth of the total In Bengal the relatively high mortality IS attributed to floods, which drove the stakes to the high lands oD which village homesteods are built, As will be observed snakes are more destructive of human life than are the wild animals, but the reverse is true of the destruction of cattle h 1899 no fewer than S9, 23S cattle were destroyed hy wild animals and 9449 by snakes. Of the former 37 ,9S6 fell vic tins to leopards and 34,321 to tigers. The leopard Is even more destructive to cattle than tie tiger in Bengal. This province is the greatest sufferer from the ravages of wild beasts and snakes, its loss being 30, 539 cattle, Assam lost l7,010. Madras l5, 592, Burmah ,016 ahd the central prov inces II ,6S9
 The number of wild animals de- stroyed was 1s,sS7 and the amount paid for their destruction was lO7. .47G rupees The number of snakes killed was 94. 54S, and the rewards paid for this service amounted to 4l5l rupees

Ancient Riddles.


 A prominent merchant in Taunton, Mass, promised an eccentric old wo- man living in the neighborlng town of Berkley q desirable prize if, taking her subject from the Bible, she would compose riddle which he could not guess. She won the prize with the following, and several Orange people are trying to guess the answer: God made Adam out of dust, But thought 1t best to make me first, So l was made before the man, To answer Gods most holy plan. My body God did make complete, But without arms or legs or feet; My ways and acts he did coutrol, But to my body gave no soul. A living being l became, And Adum gave to me my name. l from his presence withdrew Aud more of Adam never knew. l did my makers law obey, | Nor from 1t never went astray. Thousands of miles 1 go ill fear But seldom on the earth appear. For purpose wise, which God did see. He put living soul in me; A soul from my God did claim. And took from me that soul again. For when from me that soul had fled, 1 was the same as when first made; And without hands or feet or soul, travel on from pole to pole. labor hard by day and night, To fallen men l give great light Thousands of people, young and old. Will by my death great light behold. No right or wrong l can e0nceIye. The Scriptures 1 cannot believe; Although ny name therein IS found, They are to me an empty sound. No fear of death doth trouble me. Real happiness 1 ne'er shall see. To heaven l shall never go, Or to the grave, or hell below Now when these lines you slowly read, Go search your Bible with all speed For that my names recorded there . honestly to you declare.
 Another one taken from an incident recorded in the Bible:
 We left our little ones at home, And where we went we did not know; We for the church's sake did roam. Aud lost our lives iB doing so We walked along perfect road, With all the wicked iu full view; We lived to man, we died to God, Yet of religion nothing knew Orange, Mass, Enterprise. Journal

Casual Talks in Hotel Lobbies.

Hon. T. w. Patterson of Denver, who IS to succeed Edward 0. Wolcott as senator from Colorado, is guest at the Shoreham. Mir. Patterson IS a leading Denver lawyer and is also owner of the Rocky Noun tain News. It is like returning home after long absence for MT. Patterson to come to Washington, for twenty-two years ago he closed four years term of service in the house of representatives. He enjoys the distinction of being the first man who represented the state of Colorado in the lower house, and the last to represent the territory of Colo rado as delegate.
 Mir. Patterson is an uncOmpromislng silver man, and he does not believe the eastern gold democrats will be allowed to reorganlze the democratic party away from that doctrine If the west can have its way" he said last night, the Chicago and Kansas City platforms will be reaffirmed in the party declaration of 1904 and the bat tie will be largely fought on the is ,ue of restoring the money Of the Consti- luton. The fact that Bryan was de- feated twice on silver platform Is no reason why the platform should be abandoned. Any other man on any other platform would nave polled fewer votes than Bryan did. At the last election the country had gone wild in a chance for glory and in the fever for land grabbing our home in- terests were forgotten. Before ano ther national election, however, l believe the peoples blood will nave cooled a hJtle, and they will begin to think of things of domestic interest. When the people begin to realize how dam nable has been the governments policy in the Philippines there will be a rev olution of sentiment that will sweep the republican party out ot power.
