MELANGE.

You bump against him everywhere, in
country and in town;
Upon his sadly swollen head he wears
the knowledge crown.
His bump of self esteem stands out like
knots upon log;
His egotism never yet was known to slip
a cog.
His self assurance has its stamp forever
in his eyes;
No gray and patriarchal owl could ever
look so wise;
He is a constant sufferer from enlarge
ment of the gall.
And petrifaCtion of the cheek, the man
who knows 1t all.
He has an unimpeded flow of language
at command;
His active, tireess tongue is of the
automatic brand.
His nasal organ he inserts in every
ones affairs;
He sows the grain of knowledge, while
his neighbors SOW the tares.
No matter what the theme may be, he's
posted up to date;
The information that he hears would
wreck a common pate.
He thinks without his guidance this ter
restrial whirlng ball
Would cease to take it's daily spin, the
man who knows it all.

A good many of them are thinking
pretty seriously about the contention
that the city have transfer at 1:3O
even II the company is obliged to pay
its men for services performed after
that hour.
The people will hesitate somewhat
about accepting an early transfer, If it
IS based on the fact that the owners of
the street railway line refuse to pay
their men for the work that is specified
for them to do after a specified pay
time.
It Is understood that all Of the fire
apparatus vendors have bought tele-

Several Republican citizens of the
Seventh ward have been approached,
but-wise fellowG--they had a notion
that It was not good plan to run
against John 4. Schroyer. And right
here II may be remarked that Schroyer
is recognized as one of the hardest
working councilmen in the city-one of
the most consistent and loyal of all the
good men, Republicans and Democrats
~ho have represented the Seventh, and
Il may be said that the Seventh is GUS
tomnrily Wen represented. In the in
terest of the whole city and particu-
yarly Of the Seventh ward. schroyer
ought to be reelected. The Democrats
Will hand him his second nomination

selves In doing SO. The people Of the

To the Melange Man:
Dear Sir: You have made some state

not been explicit enough to tell why
she can operate so successfully in Kan
sas without getting into trouble. What
is the fact about the situation there?
One who follows you.
Mrs. Nation Is fanatlcal female who
declares she is endowed from on high
with certain mission. She says that
the Lord has anointed her to smash

demonstrating that prohibition does
not prohibit, hence the license attach.

LOVE OF JEWELS
Has Caused Many OF tho Tragedies OF
tho Worlds History.


Women of all countries have an In
herent love for precious stones, which
are supposed to exercise some subtle
magnetism upon their natures. Hence
the latter-day craze for some mascotic
jewel, a survival OF medieval super
stition. Upon impressionable people
certain gems appear to WELD a potent
influence. Who has not listened to
weird tales of some heirloom talsman
which, when lost or stolen, pTesaged
the ruin Of noble house? A person
with q vivid Imagination might even
believe in the theory Of the Pythagore-
ans, who formulated the doctrine that
inanimate as we'll as animate things
are endowed with souls. Certain evo-
lutionists of today trace tho origin OF
man back to stones, asserting that in
their adamantine bosoms they contain
the all-pervading essence CT spirit, and
that the spark emitted from their crys-
talline hearts Is the revelation OF the
imprisoned soul within. From time
imnemorial jewels have served as pro-
pitiatory offerings at holy shrines. as
tokens OF amity from one crowned
head to another. as mystic messengers
of affection between distant friends,
as pledges Of constancy exchanged be
tween plighted lovers. Men have bled
and died, kingdoms have crumbled.
families have been rent asunder, hus-
band and wife parted over the disputed
possession Of some coveted jewel. Per-
haps poor Marie Antoinette of III.
starred memory, might have kept her
pretty head upon her shoulders had it
not been for the unfortunate affair OF
the diamond necklace

CATCiii..G LIONS,
Nssivss Who Formerly Caught Thorn BY
Thoer Tails.

Nssivss Who Formerly Caught Them BY
Thesr Tails.
A Mr.. Freeman, who visited South
Africa in the first half Of the CEN
fury, was able to gather much infor-
nation about life and sport in that
country. He gives his authority for
a most singular mode Of attack upon
the lion. Mr.. Lemue, who formerly re-
sided at Motto, and is familiar with
the Kalahari country, assured me that
the remarkable accounts sometimes
circulated as to the people OF that part
Of Africa catching lions by the tail,
and Of which. l confess, l was very
ircredulous, were perfectly true. He
we'll knows that the method prevailed,
and was certainly not uncommon
among the people Lions would some
times become extremely dangerous.
Having become accustomed to human
flesh, they would not willingly eat
anything else. When a neighborhood
became infested, the men would de-
termine on the measures to be adopted
to rid themselves OF the nuisance.
Then, forming themselves into band,
they would proceed in search OF their
royal foe. AS the men STOOD close by
one another, the lion would make a
spring on some one of the party
every man, of course, hoping that he
might escape the tktack-when in
stantly others would dash forward and
seize his tail close to the body, lifting
him up with all their might. Thus
they not only astonished the animal
and took him absolutely Off his guard,
but they rendered his efforts powerless
for the moment. Other men closed In
with their spears. and pierced the mon
ster through and through. All this
was done, not for the exciting pleas
ure CT lion-hunt nor as an exhibition
of proves, but to rid the neighbor-
hood OF the villages OF a dreadful
enemy, and to save the men them
selves from becoming in their turn
the breakfast or the supper Of this
OF the desert-Youths' Com
paliCu.

COL. STRONC'S DOLLAR.
Fa1nous Coin Owned by the Late Mayor
OF Now York

rafnous Coin Owned by the Late Mayor
Of Now York
Or>s OF Col. Strong's possessions of
which he was extravagantly proud was
an 1904 dollar" He carried It in his
pocket for many years and valued 1t
at 5000, says a writer in the New
York Press. The market price Is con-
siderably less, though 1t is said there
are only three such dollars in exist
ence. A few years ago l could trace
seven. One Is in the mint cabinet at
Philadelphia. the second belonged
TO NJ. A. Stickney, the third to ". s.
Appleton, the fourth D L. G. Parfhe
lee, the fifth to W. B Wetmore, the
sixth TO Col W. l. Strong and tho
seventh to Mr.. scott of Philadelphia.
Col. Strong's was formerly in the cabi-
net Of Robert C. Davies, l was inform
ed, and was sold for 1900 Our grand
old mayor used to ring 1t upon this
table at Richter's cafe, where he went
daily to eat his portion of crackers and
milk when the govt did not have a
grip on him.
One Of the mysteries Is the disap-
pearance OF the dollars Of 1904 and
their fictitious value today. There
were issued from the mint no less tha1
1880 of them. Some say that almost
the entire mintagc was lost at sea by
the sinking OF vessel that was con-
veying 1t to China. Others maintain
that the mintage Of 1905 included this
m!ntage, or part OF it. The records
show that only 321 silver dollars were
coined in 1906. At any rate the 1904
dollar" Is commonly known among
numismatists as the king OF rare Am
erican coins. Another mystery is that
this coin has not been counterfeited,
as were valuable ancient coins from
the fifteeth century down.
