Will you kindly bring me down pair
of those socks"
Mrs. BowSer didn't question the use
Of them until she had brought them
down. There were three pairs Of gray
socks, big enough for any wood chop
per and thick enough for any winter
weather.
"You can't possibly get your feet into
your shoes if you put on those socks"
she said.
Don't you worry about that. 1t Is a
fine starlight night outdoors. There is
gentle frost sitting down. What |
propose to do is to put on these socks
and take little stroll to let the frosty
air harden my feet. 1t is remedy our
forefathers used to make use Of"
"Then our forefathers were idiots. 1t
is one of the silliest things you could
do. If you get your feet frostbitten,

exclaimed Mr. Bowser as he glowered
at her. I'm the first place, have thor
oughly investigated this subject, and
in the next have the favorable opin-
ion Of hundreds of persons to back me
up. Didn't Miles Standish cure his ten
der feet by wading in snowdrifts?'
and you propose to walk out in your
stocking feet?' she asked after ST.

which he removed his shoes and drew
on the socks.
81 certainly do, and I'll bet you a

fitted within half an hour. What in
blazeS ailS that Internal old cat?'
The cat had come softly in the room
and sat down and was looking at him
with her head cooked on one side. Mr..
Rowser threw 4 shoe at her, but she
uttered a yeowl and lodged the mis-
sile. Mrs. Bowser realized that argu.
meNt was useless, and she picked up n
book and began reading. The clock
licked away for sixty seconds, and then
Mr.. Bowser vas ready for his stroll.
He passed down the hall and outdoors
without further words, and he had only
gone q block when he met with his
first adventure. Three or four hood
lums who were loating about got on to

fore they abandoned his trail. Five
minutes later, as he began to feel the
frosty air through the wool and had
about decided that he felt so per cent
better, he ran up against policeman,
who reached for his coat and said:
"Now, then, you old sneak, but you'll
come along with me. All ready to do
a bit of porch climbing, l see.'
1t took Mir. Bowscr ten minutes to
explain about his tender feet, his fore
fathers and Miles Standish, and, al
though the policeman told him to pass
on, he felt it his duty to call after him:
81 don't think the trouble is with
your feet as much as it is WITT your
head. You'd better sandpaper It and
stay in the house"
Two blocks farther down the tender
foot had to pass saloon. There were
five or six men in front Of the place,
and he hesitated as he drew near.
They noticed his action, and as he
slowly came up one Of the gang
stepped out and accosted him with:

scoundrel ! drove out of my back yard
last night! When yelled at him, he
scrambled over q fence ten feet high

"You are liarw promptly retorted
Mr.. Bowser, who was now getting
thoroughly warmed up in his temper.
There would have been fight, but
the gang stepped in and advised that
as two gentlemen had had words with
each other the proper place to bring
about a satisfactory understanding
was the bar of the saloon. While the
two gentlemen were apologizing to

The New Leader.

In It's selection of John -. Will
liams of Mississippi for Speaker,
the Democratic members of the
House have achieved great and
good consumation. As the leader
Of the minority Mr.. Williams will
PROVE Of inestimable value to the
country.
That Mr. Williams. owns all the
qualifications of a statesmau his
career in Congress has amply de
monstrated. That he il a man of
splendid scholarly attainments, per
haps more thoroughly educated
than any other parsonage in pnblic
life throughout the United States
the fact that his academic stud
les were made mt the Kentucky
Military Institute, the University
of the South, the University of
Virginia, and the University Of
Heidelberg, and the testimony Of
all those who have heard or read
the least of his cleverly styled and
carefully reasoned speeches, will
establish beyond douot. Aud
last, that he exercises TO rare de
gree the faculty of organization.
that he possesses the natural gift
of leadership appears with unmis-
taxable clearness from the practi-
cally unanimous votes by which he
has been returned to- Congress

trict

ity holds position of singal i'm

To- cause the delay, tantamount 10
the defeat, of obnoxious measures
by judicious generalship. Leavin;
out of the question all considera-
tions of partisanship, and keeping
in view merely the welfare of the
nation, he may marshal and direct
the Democratic forces in such a
manner and to such an end as TO
cause endowment with an enviable
record of solicitude and activity
in behalf of the country's best in
terests.
To Win success along these
lines, the leader must have mt his
call. not sagacity, experience and
talent only, but also that highest
quality of all-polilical integrity,
irreproachable and unquestionably
free from bigotry and jingoism
The Times-Democrat is proud of
the knowledge that in this noble

honored one whose character is as

That the increase of drinking
among women is due largely to
the soda fountain habit was stated
to-day at the convention of the
Iowa State w. G. T. L. by Mrs.
Ida b. Wise, corresponding secre-
rotary of the State union. The
mixed drinks served at the drug
store bars, she said, paved the way
for liking alcohol to get a hold
upon women. The wave of re-
form has thoroughly permeated
the convention. Among the so
called evils against which the
women have raised their voices
are Sunday ball games, Sunday
postoffice, fermented wine ut com
munion, and child labor. They
have demanded the unseating of
Senator Reed Smoot, and the es-
tablisnment of equal suffrage

The proposition made by Mr..
Graves some months ago, to solve
the negro problem by deporting
the negroes to Africa, did not
command much support at the
time, and promises to grow still
weaker. The experience of party
of Georgia negroes in Africa, re-
ported by the Associated Press
yesterday, is satisfactory evidence
that Africa, although the home OF
the ancestors of our negroes, Is
not suited TO thier descendants to-
day.
The story of these Georgia en-
igrants is a sad one. The party
consisted originally of fifty-six. in
Guiding men. women and children.
Both philanthropy and industry
played part in their emigration.
| 1t has long been believed that cot
ton could be raised profitably in
Africa. Some of it is raised in the
Soudan, but not much, as the ne
gro in Africa, being able to live
on wild fruit, works as little as
possib BILE. Those who hope to be
independent of the South in the
matter of cotton have looked to
Africa for relief. This has been
the case with the English and Eu-
ropean spinners, and several pro-
iects have been formed, and some
of them carried out, to transport
American negroes to Africa to
teach the natives cotton culture.
Only few weeks ago a PROPOSE
ton was made to number OF
Tuskegee graduates to settle in
German Africa and take charge Of
the task of developing the cultiva-
ton of cotton i'm that section.
The Georgia negroes who have
Just returned from Africa were as
sisted to Liberia by those who
want to see the cotton industry es-
tablished there by number of
philanthropists who believed they
were benefiting the negroes by
aiding them 10 emigrate.
Their experience was the same
as hundreds OF negroes VINO ndu
gone fefore. The cotton growing
experiment was complete fail
ure, and the cotton was complete
ly destroyed in two months in the
excessive tropical rains. The ne
groes fell victims to the climate,
and majority of them died with
in a short time. Nine survivors
reached this country, gaunt, hol-
low-eyed and ragged, eager to get
back TO the South again.
Their experience confirms what
we have seen before-that Africa
is no place for the American ne
gro and he can not get relief by
emigration in that direction, and
that the proposition to develop
the cotton industry in Africa and
other countries in competition
with the South is not as easy as
the British and European spin
ners imagine.-New Orleans

The Democrats cannot elect q
president without New York and
New York cannot be carried with
out Tammany; therefore, it is APP
parent that Tammany will exercise
very powerful influence in nam
ing the next Democratic president

perhaps, that Tammany, if it likes
may force its choice of standard
bearer upon the New York delega

afford utterly to ignore other ele-

One of the reasons which secur-

other roads is the fact that many
of the employees of the road are

According to careful estimates,
this country thirty years hence
will not be able to- raise more
wheat than it consumes, unless
better methods of cultivation are
introduced. The impounding of

much being conceded. the begin
