Our proverb, "Devil catch the hind most" Is based on one of the curious shadow legends. According to the fa- ble, the devil haS a regular school at Toledo, Spain.

A PROGRESSIVE FACTOR.

To is now merely matter ot weeks before Skagway will be directly tn touch with the telegraphic systems Of the world. The rates are to be conso- nant with the tolls Of cables and tele- graph lines that are competing with opposition systems Nothing places a country so constantly in touch with the world or makes its conditions so uni- versally familiar as to be within the di- rect and daily circuit ot the Associated Press and other news bureau systems. The progressive influence ot the gov erument cable upon the mercantile, in- dustrial and civic affairs Of Alaska will be inealculable. twill make jobbing within the district an immediate poSsi- bility. Furs and other exports may be sold iutelligently at the steamship land ing, and the necessity oi consignmeuts or trips to Southern markets will thus be obyiated. All ot the departments Of the government may be advised day by day Of the official affairs of the dis trict and the public sentiment ot the country may be mirrored in the press upon all passing matters Co an extent that will prevent many a lying sehemer from successfully misrcprescuting the conditions ot the country Co the law makers Of the nation. To will be but a matter of time and no, very long period of time before Cape Nome will be in communication with che rest Of the world during che winter months, and it Is quite possible ,ha, a northern trans-Paci6c cable may link the Aleu- tian isles and tie Alaska Co Japan and the Orient. Omcersot the signal corps have stated in numbcrless interviews that this cable Is bu, the beginning Of network Of cables tha, will place all Che possessions ot the United States in direct iutercOmmunicatiou.

Queer African Mask.

Grotesque masks are worn In many parts of Africa during dances and reh' glous ceremonies. The reason Is be- cause a symbolic significance Is at' tached to them and they are especially supposed to possess the power or pre- serying those who wear them from the influence of evil spirits.
 The masks are generally made of wood, and some are carved with rare skin. When a chief or the head Of a family dies. he leaves his mask to hls successor, and the latter is bound to wear it. In every village there is an artist who repairs masks and occasion ally makes Q few new ones. and it Is said that no one does more thriving business than he.
 Ethnologlsts have been trying Co find out the exact time when these masks first came into use. but an they have learned as yet Is that they have been popular in Africa for many centuries.

ment in reading the Decalogue, the

which seventy-five years ago was not
worth a cent an acre and today is

TWO POUNDS OF GOLD

Think of the thousands Of men,, the
enormous smelling furnaces, the tons
OF coal, the vast amount of machinery
that is occupied or consumed in the
production of gold every day in the
year in these United States And yet
all these agencies combined succeed
in getting less than two pounds OF
gold a day out of the earth. When
these two pounds of gold have been
collected by the toll of these thou
sands OF men, the wearing of the ma
chinery and the consumption of Goa,
and chemicals. of what real use IS
it to mankind. They cannot eat it.
drink it, wear it, shelter themselves
with it, clothe themselves with it,

to but few uses" The utility" of
gold is small. When by the "fiat' of
law it becomes moneys made q le-
gal tender for debt and taxes-all men
want it. But simple piece of paper
performs those functions every day
in the. year in every civilized govern.
ment just as well as gold. Gold woult;
not be more highly valued by mankind
than pewter, which, except in color,
it greatly resembles, if by the fiat.

tender for debts and taxes. This sim
pie truth it seems is more difficult to

A BOON TO FARMERS 80 ~
Editor Independent: am much
pleased to learn that you are to open
your columns to the discussion of the
tax question, more especially the sim
gle tax proposition.
If farmers would discuss the ques-
tion of taxation, without regard to its
bearing upon party prospects. they
would soon see that a proper settle
ment of the taxation problem would
do more to make farming profitable
than all other reforms besides.
When 1t is known by the majority
of the farmers that they own less
than 10 per cent of the wealth of the
country and pay so per cent of the
taxes, they will look about to find
remedy. Under the single tax, their
land being the least valuable, would
be taxed accordingly, thus lifting the
burdens from their shoulders and put
ting them on the shoulders of those
the best able to bear them, and who
monopolize the most valuable land
This would be just and the farmers
should do it without delay.
