"A tremendous half-smothered scam
dal is brewing in New York's exclusive
set over the discovery that social high
waymen are beginning to appear on
the golf links. The mystery as to the
identity of the persons who rifle clothes
in the lockers has become a diverting
pastime. 1t is a fact that in half
dozen of the most exclusive places
players have been missing things of
value and suspicion invariably attaches
to some member of the club. Not so
very long ago a very prominent young
buck in New York social circles was
actually caught in the act of stealing
money from the dressing rooms. There
was a great fuss, but family considera-
tons prevented an exposure in the
press. gA1 &sW&&

There is a family named Fennen
living in the north of England whose
original name was Purvis. Two humid
red years ago Frank Purvis turned pi-
rate and was killed fighting on his ship.
The family then decided to reIinquish
the name of Purvis and take that OF
Fennen and ever since the eldest son
of the family on attaining his majority
signs a pledge that he win not resume
the name of Purvis The pledge has
been handed down from father to son
and bears some fifty signatures.

III. Vaulting-This is a very mus
cular exercise and one of the hardest
that can be done on log or fence. For
this reason it would be well to start
going over a small object.
This strenuous movement is de-
scrlbed in a few words. Place the
hands on the top fence rail, convent
emily apart and with the finger tips
of each hand turned away from each
other. Then, while holding on firmly,
throw the feet forward and back
ward over the fence, as is done on a
gymnasium horse. (Figure A.
When the muscles are accustomed to
this unusual exercise, spring over the
fence by lightly touching the hands
to the top rail- or go over it in vault
ing style, with the legs well drawn up
to the body while going over the top.
Also run and jump over the fence with
out touching it, and later on walk up
to and go over it in similar manner.
In a short time a five or six-foot fence
can be easily cleared.
Look out for your shin bones and
then you will have no reason to dis
tract your mind from the pleasant
task of building up arms, shoulders,
legs and the abdominal region.

This was enough to arouse his tenn

paw. But the stone did not mind; it
only swung out and came back with
a harder whack. Then Bruin would

rock until it would fetch him a blow

On the lower limb piece of fresh
meat was nailed. From the limb
above a rope was suspended, at the
end of which heavy rock was at

above and inside of the meat.
At night Mr.. Bear would come
providing around and, smelling the
meat he would quickly climb up the

to reach the appetizing morsel, he
would have to shove aside the stone

A CLEVER WAY
TO CATCH BEARS.

The inhabitants of California in the
days of Mexican rule had a unique
way of capturing the black bears that
infested the foothills near the coast.
Bruin is naturally a vegetarian, but
when he can get a piece of fresh meat
he devours it greedily. The Mexicans
knew this, and prepared their trap

oppressed to shoot the other half at a
shilling day whenever trouble arises,
there is some doubt about their being
able to do it in this country whenever
the oppression gets too heavy.
The Adirondack region of New York
has lately been large bought up by a
few millionaires and fenced in. They
intend to make hunting parks and fish
reserves out of it as the lords and
dukes have done in Europe. One OF
these multi-millionaires has recently
fenced in fifteen square miles OF this
region which has always been free to
the public, and put up notices all
around it as follows:
"Trespassers Beware! All per-
sons are warned against trespass-
ing upon these lands or waters, the
same being devoted to the purpose
of propagating and protecting fish,
birds and game and as a private
park. Orlando P. Dexter, owner.
AFRO M. Giles, game-keeper and
warden"
The other day Millionaire Dexter
was shot dead from ambush and it is
reported that the lives OF others OF the
same class Of men are not safe in that
region.
The Independent has no sympathy
with murder under any circumstances,
but the conditions that have brought
about this state Of affairs is directly
attributable to the course that the
rich have pursued and it is time that
they took warning. They may be able
to get men to marcn with tin dinner
pail out of which there sticks a piece
of sausage, while the rest of the pail
is empty, but the very men who march
in those lines are the ones who try
to redress their grievances by commit
ting murder.

HOW ABOUT TRUSTS

The organization of new trusts has
come to a standstill. The conditions
resulting from those already formed
have frightened the whole nation. The
question is being asked everywhere:
HaS the trust come to stay? One thing
is certain: the methods used in their
organization are now everywhere de-
nounced and will never again be pop
ular. Those that have been formed are
topping over one by one-the greatest
of them all, the steel trust, being
crowded to the verge of destruction
and no one knows how many more are
in the same condition. Perhaps few
of them, those having men in control
Of exceptional ability, may endure, but
OF such men there are very few in the
world The glory of those that shone
the brightest for while have been
dimmed. Schwab and Morgan are not
the financial divinities that they were
two years ago. The one undimmed
star left among them is Rockefeller,
and his standing results from peculiar
conditions. Let the government own
the railroads and in the next genera
ton there will be no Rockefellers.

"wAx WORSE AND WORSE"

There is a sect that believes that
"the world will wax worse and worse"
until finally mankind will become so
vile that God will wipe them off the
face of the earth and begin anew. 1t
must have been men of that sort that
captured the daily, and most OF the
weekly and monthly press Of this
country. Nothing could drive man
kind on faster toward such goal than
the way the great dailies are run. In
every field, 1t seems to be the effort
to publish less than the truth, more
than the truth and when occasion re-
quires, absolute falsehoods, but never
to print the simple truth itself. 1t

that it will require all the patriotism

The Independent denounces all dis

to right the wrongs Of which COM

fasten tighter upon the people the
tyranny that they would throw off. A
mob must always go down before an
organized and trained soldiery. The
people must get rid of this oppression
in the same way that they imposed it
upon themselves. They have contin-
ued to vote for it for ten years. 1t
will probably take ten years to vote it
off, but that is the only way to do it.

Doodle is offered it. Today the de-
cent people of the United States are
practically without press and their
children are every day fed upon libid-
nous literature gathered from every
foul corner of the globe, contained in
the sensuous descriptions of the work
OF the police and lewd pranks among
the men and wo4nen who make what
is called high society,""
In these papers crime and scandals
are SO written up as not to make them
repulsive. Take, for instance. the way
that the Tracy murderer's career was
handled. The papers were filled with
the story for days in which the endur-
ance and bravery of the criminal was
described in such way as to make the
wretch hero. 1t produced the effect
OF making the readers, especially the
young, sympathize with the criminal
and desire his final escape. That is
the way the other scandals and crimes
are treated. The decentralization it
produces is unspeakable. American
homes are flooded with this vile trash
to such an extent that when good lit
erature is offered, the reply is always
made: Il get more papers now than
l can read.'

The people are opposed to trusts and
monopolies of any kind. They favor
equal rights, equal opportunity and
equal taaxtion of property. Yet when
1t comes to decide whether thew will
accept equal rights, equal opportunity
and equal taxation, if to get it re-
qulres them to vote a ticket that is
named neither republican nor demo-
crat, they have so far preferred
party name rather than the reforms
that they demand. The reason wbv
they act in that way is one of those
things that no pop can find out.

The wild dreams Of the imperialists
OF Americanizing tropical countries
are vanishing in air as the years 60
by. During the year 1892, II 1882 emf
grants went into Cuba, but only 1,06a
were Americans. During the first six
months OF. 1893, American emigration
to Cuba had almost ceased, there being
only ia who went there. In the Phil
ippines during the last year the num-
Der of Americans has decreased from
$4,000 to something below 5000. This
whole tropical Imperialism business
was the greatest piece Of folly that any

The result of great accumulations Of
wealth has always been the same. 1t
would be well for us all to remember
what that result has been. The his
tory of nations has been summed up
in three words: liberty, wealth, de-
cay. We have had our season of de-
votion to liberty, years in which all
men venerated the Declaration of In
dependence. Of late years those ideals
have been completely abandoned by
the ruling party. We have INDUCED
in wars Of conquest and hold millions
OF men as subjects. We have entered
Oh the stage of wealth and waste OF
the products produced by toll. What
will follow next? Let us took back"
not on a scene created by the magma
ton as Bellamy did, but upon the real
facts of history, and see if we cannot
draw a lesson from them. When Rome
was great and its people happy, do we
find that men of wealth were consid-
cred their greatest men? Was there
immortality among the governing
classes? Was the family life pure?
Was it considered necessary that their
judges and senator's should receive
large salaries? A recent authority
sums up the conditions in Rome dur
ing the long period Of its greatness as
follows:
The three centuries from the seces-
sion of the Plebs to the close Of the
second Punic war was virtuous per-
iod. There was no divorce in Rome
through all that time The home life
Of the people was clean and pure. Men
and women respected the moral law
and respected it because they vener-
ated it.
Throughout this long period the life
of the Roman people was one OF tenn
perance, frugality and simplicity.
Rufinus was degraded from the con-
sulship for possessing ten pounds of
silver plate when the law allowed
him no more than eight ounces. Atil-
JUS received the consular dignity be-
hind the plow. Regulus, though twice
consul, possessed no more than one
little field. Fabricius and Aemelius
prepared their simple meals with their
own hands.
Cincinnatus, who was once consul
and twice dictator, after delivering his
country from hei enemies, retired to
his small tract of land, upon which
he maintained himself by his own la
bors. Fabricius, consul and victorious
general, cultivated his own little field
with his own hands.
Manius, the conqueror Of Pyrrhus,
refused the thirty acres Of land offered
him by the people in gratitude for his
great services, deeming such liberality
unnecessary and excessive. Regulus,
while in command of the army in
Africa, wrote to the senate asking for
his recall, on the ground that the
manager Of his five-acre farm was
dead: that the hired man had run
away, carrying the farming tools with
Him, and that unless his farm was. cul-

SHEEPMEN IN ARMS.
Declare They Will Protect with TheiH
Lives Their Rights in the Wyoming
Forest Reserve

Omaha, Neb., Jan. GA special to
the World-Herald from Cody, Wyo.,
says the sheepmen of that vicinity
are up in arms over the creation of
the forest reserve embracing fully
one-seventh of the area of the state.
To prevent the sheep from reach
ing the grazing grounds in the re-
serves, the rock trails along the sides
of the canons have been blasted away
by the government agents. This &C
ton aroused the sheepmen to high
pitch, as they feel that one of the
principal industries of the state is
about to be completely destroyed.
All through the Cody country feel
ing is running high and bloodshed is
anticipated, the sheepmen declaring
that they will protect their rights
with their lives and will fight before
they will submit to the action of the
government agents in charge of the
forest reserves.
