Betty, the infant Roscius, when at

WANT THE LAND AND a MULE.

Rooseyelt's negro policy is beginning
to bear fruiC in various forms. The
man seems to be unconscious of what
he is doing. He is opening Pandora's
box without realizing the folly of his
conduct. A New Orleans dispatch to
the New York Sun shows one of the
least of the evil results of the Presi-
dents stubborn ignorance:
The discussion of the Indianola post
office in the Yazoo delta has reached the
large negro population of that region.
The great mass of the negroes know
little about the office, except that the
President has in some way come to the
relief of negroes, and is showing him
self their friend.
The old idea that the Government
will give each negro forty acres and a
mule or pay pension for the years of
slavery is said to be current again.
Postmasters in the delta report that
never before in the history of the offices
has there been such a volume of mail
addressed to Washington. Every ne
gro who believes the Government owes
him living has indited a missive to
the President advancing his claims
and asking immediate consideration.
Especially has this been true of the
Clarksdale postofice, which has al
most been flooded with letters address
ed to the President
The address varies. Sometimes the
missive is directed to President Roose-
Welt, and others to Captain, Governor,
Colonel and Mr.. Roosevelt. The post

The rat is, as no one will doubt, a
very fair climber. He can scamper
about anywhere on the roof of a barn
or can ascend the ivy that grows on
the house wall and make the lives Of
the pigeons in their cots anything but
happy ones The rabbit, on the other
hand, is not usually accounted a climb
ing animal. A writer in Field describes
the establishment of his sisters at see
ing rabbit jump from the bough Of a
tree and, picking himself up, "scamper
off rather dazed to his warren" Wher-
ever rabbit is found in a tree except
when he is carried there by flood or
left there by a receding snowdrift, it
will be found that sloping bank or
other easy method of approach has
been made use of. He is, however, very
expert at climbing stone walls that
bound his fields and even the wire net
ting that the farmer vainly imagines
will keep him from the choicest crops.
We have seen rabbits run up the face
Of quarry to their holes toward the
top, a feat which we have not found it
easy to initiate.

tain peculiarities of the pupil and lid
that may be taken as pretty sure signs
by the trained observer.
left eyed people are made. not born.
Most of us have been blessed by nature
with eyes of equal visual power, but
the attitude we strike when reading or
writing causes us to exercise one eye
more than the other, and the first thing
we know we are right or left eyed. This
is a one sidedness that should always
be taken into consideration when buy

DEMOCRATS COMING TOGETHER


There is no doubt that Democrats are
getting together Very lit
tie is now heard of two wings of the
Democratic party or of the silver ques-
ton. By common consent that ques-
ton is being dropped, and prominent
Democrats are heard to say, now and
then, that it would not be surprising if
the next Democratic presidential can
didate should stand on a gold standard
platform. OF course, they are East
ern Democrats who say this, but it is
worthy of notice that no protests made
by Democrats of other sections.
When Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.. Olney and
Mr.. Whitney had a meeting in New
York few days ago it was surmised
that their purpose was to start boom
for ex-senator German as presiden-
tial candidate-at least that was the
thought thrown out by New York pa
pers. It is doubtful, however, if they
had any such thought.
German, of course, has strong friends
who will be heard from at the proper
time, but just now there seems to be
more talk of Richard Olney of Massa-
chusetts and Judge Parker of New York
than of the other candidates.
According to reports appearing in
New England papers Senators Bacon
and Clay of this state and Senator
Taliaferro of Florida were consulted by
leading New England politician few
days ago as to the outlook for Mr.. OIL
ney in the South It did not appear
that either of these senators commit
ted himself in favor of any candidate.
They wanted to know, however, what
chances Mr., Olney had of carrying
Massachusetts. If they gained sat1s
factory information on that point it did
not appear in the public prints. In
deed, it is doubtful if any Massachu.
sets Democrat is prepared to say thai
as presidential candidate Mr.. Olney
could carry that state.
If the contest for the nomination
should be between Mr.. Olney anG
Judge Parker it is probable that Judge
Parker would be successful, for the
reason that his chances for carrying
New York would be better than Mr.
Olney's chances for carrying Massa
chusetts. Neither Judge Parker no.
Mr. Olney seems to be an eager can
didate, and it is probable that neither
would be greatly disappointed if bis
name were not mentioned in the nom
mating convention. Savannah News

Cinderella and Her slipper.

Yes; know you are saying to your
self, THAT headline would have looked
and sounded better had it been 'Cinder-
ella and the Glass Slipper" says a
critic, but the writer has been making
close study of this most interesting
nursery story and finds that the ia

place in it. he~'glass" slipper is real
ly the "fur," "cloth" or "felt'' slipper,
the word glass having been substi-
tuted through a strange mistranslation
of the story. In the original it was
written pantoufe en- vair, which, being
translated, would be 'the fur slipper"
The translator, however, wrote it as If

mitted, would be one quite appropriate

We see such people every day right
here in our city.
1t is pitiful to see a man that should
be in his prime dragging himself
through life detected, discouraged and
broken down, due to some premature
weakness. It does not make any diff
ference whether this weakness is the
result of dissipation, indiscreet living
or disease; it can be overcome.
We have known of many very serious
cases of debility quickly overcome by
Vinol.
Vinol is a scientific rebuilder and
strength creator. Itcontains the active
curative principles of Cod-Liver Oil in
highly concentrated form. The
benefit that can be derived from the
use of these properties is so well known
that there is no need for us to enter
into that subject.
We could quote many instances where
Vinol has done good; as an example,
here is one coming from Jane S. Fen
fren, prominent member of the w. G.
T. u, and a resident of Suncook, n. III.
She writes:
II was run down, was in bed from
May to March. Was so nervous and
siclxly that every one thought was in
a most precarious condition. My weight
was reduced to 100 pounds. 1 was ad-
vised to take Vinol, which did, and
am now very much better, and am able
to be about again. AS rebuilder and
strength giver nothing can equal it.
Vinol is a God-blessing to anybody"
Because VinOl is delicious, and
because it does contain these
much-sOught-after medicinal
properties we endorse it, and we
unhesitatingly proclaim that it is
better than any preparation of
cod-liver oil or tonic rebuilderwe
have ever had in our store.

SUI TAN WON FIGHT
AT TER HARD BATTLE
Pretender to Morocco Throne
In Flight.
SLAUGHTER WAS VERY GREAT

Cooperation at Critical Moment of
the Benz ourean Tribe, Whose De-
lection Sultan Had Previously Pur-
chased, Won Fight.
Tangier, Feb. 2.-The features of
the sultan's victory Thursday over the
forces of the pretender, Blu Hamara,
show that the battle was stubbornly
contested and that the formers sue
cess was largely due to the co-opera-
ton at a critical moment of the Benz
Ourean tribe, whose detection from
the rebels the sultan had previously
purchased.
The artillery of the imperial forces,
which were commanded by the minis
ter of war, FL Menebhi, consisted of
eight Maxims and four Krupps. The
sultan's troops opened the attack early
in the morning and shortly afterward
the pfetender's camp was assailed in
the rear by the Benz Oureins In
spite of the surprise and disadvantage
of the position the rebels stubbornly
maintained their ground and desper.
ate fighting continued for three hours.
The slaughter was very great The
remnants of the rebel army then
broke, abandoned the camp and fed
in the direction of Tazab. The i'm
perial troops are pursuing the fugi-
tives, and if Blu Hamara is not among
the slain his capture is confidently
expected
Ell Menebhi is pushing on towards
Tazab with the object of entirely
crushing the rebellion and furnishing
the disployal tribes. He reports he
has found the rebels much more nu-
| merous than expected, but that he cap
tured all their war ammunition There
is great rejoicing at Fee as a result
OF the victory of the sultan's forces.
