The project of placing a memorial
tablet in the Grace Street Baptist Tenn
pie in Philadelphia of Miss Winnie
Davis, who was the daughter of JEFF
ferson Davis, has brought forth a
deluge of protesting letters. The
Pittsburg Post observes that Miss
Davis was a good woman, who wrote
much and labored much for the well
fare of humanity. Is it any kind OF
religion, Baptist or any other, to refuse
honoring her memory? Is it because
some people think that her father was
traitor when the Government said he
was not? And if he was an unconvicted
traitor, does that work corruption of
bloods The constitution forbids any
punishment for this crime working
corruption of blood except for the life
of the person attained. When Missis-
sippi receives into her hall of fame a
statue of Abraham Lincoln cannot the
events of forty years ago become his
tory?

The successful business man must
study not only supply and demand gen
orally, but he must study those of his
own field of trade, and his purchase
must be made with all conditions
plainly in view. In this the merchant
does not differ materially from the
farmer, who must consider first the
characteristics of his soil. He must
know what can and what cannot be
successfully grown; or what prepare
ton will be necessary to accommodate
his sod to crop it may not be espe-

every square rod of his land as fully as
his ability will permit. He should al
so know how to rectify its deficiencies
and augment its virtues. -Texas Farm

DEMOCRATIC MOSES IN 1904.

German Of Maryland, Olney of Mas
sachusetts, and Judge Parker of New
York, in the opinion of Representative
Richardson of Tennessee, the Demo
cratic leader in the House, will be the
principal candidates for the Presidency
before the Democratic National Con-
vention in 1904. Mr.. German, he
thinks, will have strong following,
as he as well as Mr.. Olney, supported
Bryan. Mr.. Richardson thinks Olney
is likely to receive the support Of
Bryan, and his candidacy was even
now being urged in the West. AS tc
Judge Parker Mr.. Richardson thought
he would be entirely acceptable to the
Southern Democrats. He was rapidly
coming to the front and had clean
record.
The principal issue in the campaign
of 1904, to Mr. Richardson's mind,
would be that of tariff reform. The
Democrats would urge that the present
tariff be reduced and equalized so as
not to foster or shelter monopolies.
He strongly resented the suggestion
that the Democrats would advocate
free trade. He pointed out, however
the lack of unanimity among the Re
publicans, many of whom, like those
in Iowa, realizing the drift Of senti
ment, were openly advocating a revis.
ion in the hope Of ayerting disaster al
the polls in 1904.

MEXICAN MONTE CARLO.
An American Cowboy Becomes a
Gambler Prince in the NIiues
of Sonora.

Far more extensive than the do
main Of the prince Of Monaco is the
territory over which Frank L. Proctor
holds sway. 1t comprises the whole
state Of Sonora BY the government
of Mexico he has been given a long
lease of the gambling privilege in the
state, says the Baltimore Sun.
The extent of gambling at the ta-
bles of Frank Proctor equals, if it does
not exceed, that at Monte Carlo.
Camanea, the largest and richest
mining camp in Mexico, is the center
of Proctor's principality. In this
wealthy community, where nobody
earns less than $3.50 a month, the sway
Of Proctor over gambling is absolute.
IT is not many years ago that Frank
Proctor was common rollicking Ari-
zona cowboy His stamping ground
was the wild borderland of Sonora and
Arizona. In this mystic region he par
ticipated in exploits which caused the
hair to raise and the heart to stand
still. Between Apaches and bad white
men he carried his life in his hand for
many years
Not long ago W. c. Greene married
the daughter Of Frank Proctor.
Greene was not at that time rich in
the worlds goods, but he was rich with
the energy and enterprise which have
since made him a multimillionaire.
Three years ago w. c. Greene man
aged to attract the attention Of New
York capitalists to his Camanea mines.
He had been a cowpuncher, prospector
and miner. and his luck was like that
Of others. Now w. c. Greene owns
a S3O.O00,0o0 copper mine, and is right
~ known as the copper king Of Sonora.
Greene did not forget his friends
when fortune came upon him. He pro-
vided for all of them.
Through Greene Proctor secured an
exclusive gambling concession over the
entire state of Sonora from the Mexi-
can government. This concession
gives to him the income Of multi
millionaire
In the mining camp Of Camanea
alone more than $4,000 passes over the
tables Of Proctor every day in the
year. Some days as much as 100000
passes over these tables. 1t requires a
force Of 500 men to operate the gam
bling houses. A profit Of nearly ST.
o00.O a year is derived from the gam
bling in Camanea alone.

ouEER sIGN L4NcUAGE.
Birds ana Animals Have ways Of
Communicating other Than
by Cries.

'erhe sign language, once forming
such an extensive part Of the human
vocabulary, and still used with much
profit, is not unknown to lower or
ders of life, said a man who takes
much interest in matters of this sort,
according to the New Orleans Times
Democrat, "and / have had occasion
in my time to observe some rather
impressive instances. Some of the
signs are understandable. Many Of
them are plain as words Of human
speech, as, for instance, the sapsuck-
er's love call, the rabbits drumming,
the head gesture which accompanies
the cluck OF the old hen when she is
trying to attract the attention of her
brood to a bit Of food she has uncov-
cred in the soil.
tBut there are many mysterious
and altogether inexplicable things to
be found in this strange realm Of
signs. Every sign means something.
We may be sure of that. 1t is a part
and parcel Of speech. 1t conveys a
meaning definite enough to the crea-
lures in the particular order Of life.
But there are SO many signs which
are not followed by results which
throw light on their meaning thai
the field becomes one for interesting
speculative inquiry. What does the
duck mean. for instance, when sim
Div bobbing the head up and down?
Tits not confined to one sex. brakes

speech. ] have seen them go through
this motion in perfect silence, and

not be followed by any other activ-
ity, or by sound Of any sort
"They just nod at each other. IL
may be simply friendly sort Of
greeting, nod Of reinsurance that
all Is quiet on the Potomac and
that there is no fox or other danger
ous intruder anywhere around. Or
it may be a firtive sort Of speech,
the ducks way of smiling and GOO
gooing. j don't know how this is.
l only know that it happens 1t may
be. of course, that this movement Of
the head and neck is physically nee
essary, like the habit of yawning, or
the unconscious movement of the
limbs Of human beings. But ducks
yawn and stretch very much after
the fashion Of the human kind. Still
the movement to which I have re-
ferred may result from a similar
motive. / would like to know Can
any man tell me what duck means
by silently nodding to one or more
Of his companions?"

The convention of chiefs at Eu-
fuala can have but one effect, if It
has any and that is to help along
the piecemeal ABSORPTION scheme,
the admission of Oklahoma now
with the purpose of adding Indian

Such a course might land Dennis
Flynn in the United States Senate
and give Oklahoma all the state
institutions and the privilege Of
forming a state constitution. The
