THE KING AND WISE MAN.

Reports had reached the king from

was very wise man and was becoming
an oracle in his kingdom. His majesty
was no man to play second fiddle to
anything on legs, and one day he sent
Tor Mustapha to make a holy show of

Der of leading questions, such as: Why
does a crab go forwards backwards
Why wasn't a hen born a rooster2 Whv
doesn't man climb a tree first?
To all questions he replied by q
shake of the head. and by and by the
king rose up and exultantly exclaimed !.
You can all see how it is. InNead
Of being wise man. our Musta Sha
Murphy is simply fool. Let him go

EXPERIENCE
In the Treatment of HumOrs
With Magical Effect
by CutiCura

90 A tumor came on my neck and in
day or two it was as large as half an
orange. I was very much alarmed for
fear It was malignant. Ny friends
tried to persuade me to consult my
physician; but dreading that he would
Insist on using the knife, would not
consent to 60. Instead, got Cuticura
Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment. I
took the former according to direc-
tions, and spread a thick layer of the
Ointment on the swelling. On renew
ing It I would battle my neck in very
warm water and Cuticura Soap. In
few days the Cuticura Ointment had
drawn the swelling to a head when it
broke Every morning it was opened
with a large sterilized needle, squeezed

Pus and blood, and a yellow. cheesy,

three or four weeks time this treat

This States Senior Senator Talks
on Negro Question in Wis.
conSln.

Madison, Wis, March 10
United States Senator Tillman of
South Carolina delivered an ad-
dress on "The Negro QueNlon
from a Southern Standpoint"
before an audience of l,S00 unl-
vsrsity students, citizens and law
makers tonight. He was greeted
with the stirring university yell.
A rather sensational incident
occurred while Senator Tillman
was discussing the Indianola post
office case. After S ating tho
southern view of the affair, he
asked whether the audience ap>
proved Of President Roosevelt's S
action and there was applause.
Being uncertain whether the APP
plause was intended as an indorse-
ment of the presidents action,
the senator asked how it was
meant. He was told that it was
meant as an endorsement Of the
president. That aroused the
senator. He went into the de-
tails of the Indianola affair and
when he concluded asked his hear
ers whether 1t would not have
been better for the president to
have kept the Office open and
punished the few hotheads that
caused the trouble than to have
punished the,,entlre community by
closing the Office, requesting those
to raise their hands who support
ed the presidents action. Only
few raised their hands.
In the main his address was
much like his OF er recent ut
terances on the same subject.
He condemned the negre to eter-
nal inferiority to the white man.

The father of all the gambling
games was game which still is the
national game of Corea under the
name of nyout. 1t is played with a
board marked out with series of
circles. The players use four slaves
which they throw as dice are thrown,
and, according to their throws, they
move counters around the board.
The counters are called men in
Corea, as they are called in practi-
cally all the world. The name orig
mated with the ancient Chinese, who
were as inveterate gamblers then as
they are now. Nyout is the proto-
type Of all the modern games known
as fox and geese, game Of geese,
steeplechase, snake game, and the
scores of others that are based on
the same principle. The old Hindoo
game of pachesi also is based on the
game of nyout. The University Of
Pennsylvania has collected the games
Of different countries all based direct
ly on the game of goose and indirect
ly on the game of nyout. A popular
Corean form of the game that is
played much to-day is tying-kyong-to,
in which five-sided stave is used in
stead of cubical dice.-Detroit Free
Press.
