The Southern Labor Problem.

To TEE EprToR OF THE SrN-Sr: Mt.
Walter II. Page. one Of the speakers AT the
recent symposium OF views and sentiments
as to the South, held under the auspices OF
the Unitarian Society. gave expression to his
opinion that the negro population wocid
concentrate in the lowlands along the coast:
that, In time. the agricultural development
OF the South would be by negroes. In terri
tory occupied almost exclusively by negroes,
and that the whites would take to the hill
country and TO manufacturing.
II is note worthy that some such solution
OF the chief obstacle to Southern INDUSTRIAL
development has been suggested by practical
railroad men familiar with local conditions
at the South Colored labor. cheap and
abundant. has generally been inefficient IN
mechanical or manufacturing work. There
is little white immigration to the sonth, ana
the standard Of compensation for white labor
has been kept low by the plethora OF ooloIed
workmen While the West has been de.
veloped largely by pioneers from the LAST Las,
and immigrants from Europe, who have
assimilated with the local residents. al the
South highly capable white labor IL tempted

Not many years ago. a young man went
to Colorado for his health, and before
leaving he wrote to a friend, Next week

in flowers was the tribute ordered sent to
the funeral by his friend, and the quoted
words formed the inscription on Its open

tiQuities it is not to be wondered that
many men of wealth and culture are
looking with suspicion on the works of
art which they have collected at the
expenditure of much money and effort.
1t is q wise collector who is certain
of the genuineness of his collection.
One piece of the swindlers' work is
the making of artificial moth holes in
a chair of the pattern used several
centuries since. 1t is a good imita-
ton, and has been dilapidated purpose
ly, a piece being missing from the
back. 1t only requires a few dozen
moth holes to complete it's ancestral
half appearance. These are provided
by means of tool like an aw1, with
five steel points. Held over likely
part, smart tap of a wooden mallet
sends the points, made to the exact
size of a moth hole, into the wood.
This process is repeated as many
times as necessary. Then the moth
holes are treated to a slight applica-
sion of candle flame, which darkens
the holes inside to the required tint.

A BARON AS A WAITER.

He Is a Son of an Austrian Archduke
and Cousin OF Francis Joseph.
Baron Wallburg, though the eldest
son and heir to the title and great es-
tates of his father, the late Archduke
Ernest, cousin of Emperor Francis
Joseph of Austria, is forced to work
as a waiter in a restaurant In Buda-
pest. This necessity comes to him
because his father married for love
and not for rank.
When Archduke Ernest chose a
wife he selected. a Hungarian girl of
common rank. He bought an estate
in Carinthia and he. and his wife lived
there in retirement from the world.
A few years ago the Emperor, in
recognition of the way in which the
archduke had kept the disgrace" of
his marriage for love from the world
at large, conferred the rank of baroi-
ess on his wife, who thereupon as
sumed the name of Wallburg. The
imperial decree made no mention of
her children, but it was assumed that,
as in all cases of morganatic mar
riage, they would inherit their moth
er's rank and title.
Archduke Ernest died in 1899, and
his wife followed him into the grave
a few months later, but the Austrian
authorities refused to acknowledge
their eldest son as Baron Wallbug.
On the contrary, efforts were made
by the legal representative of the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-08-08
Hatpin in Horses Tongue.

A horse belonging to well known
Brewer. Me-, man refused to eat his
supper the other night An investiga-
ton was made and it was found that
in some way the animal had gotten a
hatpin in it's mouth and it was buried
to depth of two inches in his tongue,
so that it was impossible for the horse
to swallow food. The pin was removed
and the animal ate it's supper with
apparently no difficulty. From that
time forth the horse has apparently
suffered no Inconvenience from the in
jury.

Case of French Grin.

Paris now boasts ''man with steel
hands" Admitted to a hospital the
other day at his own request, he was
examined by a student, and pro-
nounced to be absolutely well. He
thereupon seized the students hand,
and squeezed it till he literally
crushed the fingers to show his ap-
probation of the welcome inte{li-
gence.
On being removed to the police sta
ton, he broke thick log of wood in
two, bent pair of pincers with his
fingers, and burst rope wound ten
times round a barrel. One would
hardly blame the acquaintance of this
man If he reverted to the savage
greeting of rubbing noses.

Queer Foods.

Human nature may be the same
the world over but tastes in matters
of cuisine vary good deal.
For instance, in Arabia horse hesk
is a favorite article of food.
The flesh of the elephant is partak-
en- of with zest in certain parts OF
India.
Visit Hindostan and you will find
the miserable pariahs contending
with dogs and vultures for carrion.
Chinese taste, as we all know, runs
to cats, dogs, bears paws and birds
nests.
In the West Indies there is a GER
tain large caterpillar found on the
palm tree which is reckoned a luxury
of diet, while in Java the nests Of
swallows are considered edible.
Inhabitants of portions of Sweden,
Finland and other countries eat clay
with gusto; indeed, it is partaken of
in all the countries of the Torrid
Zone.

Several weeks ago one of the resi-
dents of Smoky Hollow found thir-
teen adder's eggs under a decayed
stump, and, placing them under
bantam hen, awaited results In due
time the cIucking mother hatched out
thirteen striped adders. The brood
was different from the downy darlings
which she had previously reared, but
the faithful bantam accepted her trust,
and did the best she could under the
circumstances.
Several of the strange brood fell a
prey to the family cat and others re-
ceded from civilization and took to the
woods. but six of them are still follow

THINK PRINCE RUDOLPH LIVES
People of Croatia Refuse to Believe
Him Dead.

People of Croatia Refuse to Believe
Him Dead.
The people of Croatia have a strange
superstition concerning the late. Grown
Prince Rudolph of Austria, who, it will
be remembered, died in such sad cir
cumstances at Meyerling in 1889.
They believe that he is still alive,
but that he is hidden somewhere by
his enemies, and, as they are now
almost in state of revolution against
Hungary, of which they form a part,
they have just send a petition to EN-
peror Francis Joseph, asking him to
make the prince their ban, or ruler.
The poor emperor, who was terribly
afflicted by the loss of his only son, is
much shocked by the request, but
nothing will persuade the Croats that
the prince is not alive, and that he
would not go and be their ban If his
enemies would let him.-Sketch.

Baron Wallburg was "a when he
was dispossessed of his fathers es-
tates and was practically penniless.
He and his family moved to Buda-
pest, in the hope that he would obtain
work. By selling the story of his life
to a newspaper the baron made $50;
but it was not long before this was
spent and he was evicted- He was
forced to send his wife and children

his search for work. Finally after
many vicissitudes he was offered IS
a week to act as waiter in restau-

The baron as a waiter proved re-

"Ope night 1 built camp fire on
the high side of a mountain in the
rear of the little town of Gilead, across
the line,' said Willet. ''The fire got
low, and when 1 awoke 1 saw what at
first 1 thought was a bear sitting or
the other side of the camp fire. Then
as the thing lifted it's head and looked
across at me 1 saw that it was man.
And that the man had long white hair
and beard sweeping to his waist. He
was a very handsome old man, with
peculiarly child-like look in his face,
for all of his great age.

DIR. John A. Van Valvah. of Sea-
breeze, Fla, has distinguished him
self by catching q shark with an or
dinary rod and reel.
He was fishing on the pier when.
something caught the bait and darted
on at a speed that set the reel to
whizzing while the doctors thumb
was almost cut in trying to check the
fish. The shark finally made for top
water and then the doctor saw he had
a fight before him.
Eight times he brought the big fish
in on the beach only to have it dash
on again. At last the shark was tired
out and brought to the beach and
gated. Nearly three hours were
consumed in the fight.
The shark was 81z feet long and.
weighed between 45O and 500 pounds
