JOHN JAMES INGALLS,.

John James ingalls,. The writings of
John James ingalls,. Prepared for the
EieSS 5s5 s. PRICE, ' ACCORDING to binding:
Kansas City, Mo. The Hudson Kimberly
Company.
The writings. speeches. and orations of
the late Senator ingalls,. one of the great
est men Kansas has produced, have been
gathered and preserved to future genera
tons in book form, and the collection is
authorized by Mrs. ingalls,, who has de-
collecting material for the volume. Be
sides his literary work, there is revealed
what may be called tn: home side OF this
teresting reading for his friends and ad-
mirers. Letters and fragmentary sketches
which have been included exhibit gentle
character of Senator ingalls, which he did
not manifest to the world in his public
career The country looked upon him as
man of phenomenal brllllancy, with
which made him greatly feared by his
enemies and his competitors in debate,
and which drew to the Senate galleries
thousands of auditors whenever it was
known that he was to speak. 1t is prob
able that his power for whitening invec-
tive and his mastery OF language was
not equaled by any of his contemporaries.
But it is with Senator ingalls, as man
of deep and responsive affection, and as
a reflective individual, alive to all the hui
man interests of existence, that the book
presented by his devoted Wl1e mas 70 zeal.
The following letter affords an illustra-
ton of the phase of her husbands char
acter which Mrs ingalls, desires to en-
phasize:
Dearest Wife: 'Blue Grass seems to
be one of those compositions that >the
world will not willingly let die.
Those were happy days when it was
written, in the little cottage on the bluff,
looking out over the great river with
roomful of babies; obscure and unknown,
waiting for the destiny, so soon to. come
(that was to make me one Of the con-
spicuous figures Of the country for so
many years. How far away it seems!
: But I would not recall my life and live
it over again if I could, unless with the
power to improve lost opportunities,
amend errors, and correct mistakes How
clearly we see our folies when it is too
late. 80. YOUR LOVING HCobAND

THE STORY OF THE SLAVE.

Slavery and Servitude in New Jersey.
BY Alfred NJ: Heston Member OF. the
New Jersey Historical Society. Camden,
n j.: Sinnickson Chew & Sons Co. -
This monograph is a: recital Of slavery
and servitude as it existed in New Jer-
sey. The fact is brought out that slav-s
cry existed in America long before 1919,
when the Dutch traders came with their
cargo of human freight to Jamestown.
The Aztecs in Mexico enslayed not only
enemies taken in battle but those OF their
own nation who were convicted of theft
and other crimes. African slavery was
introduced in New Jersey in 16S0-at least
that is the earliest recorded instance of
ownership of African slaves. Many of
the leading citizens engaged in the Afri-
can slave trade There is a record of one
good old elder, whose ventures on the
African coast always turned out well,
who returned thanks on the Sunday fol-
lowing the arrival Of a SLAYER into the
@harbor in these words: An overruling
Providence has been pleased to bring to
this land of freedom another cargo Of
benighted heather to enjoy the blessings
Of gospel dispensation.h -lL--.A

During the summer a distinguished

came for his return to Paris he went
to say farewell to the owner of the
cottage, a prosperous farmers wife.

taking pen, he wrote his name in the
book.
Thanks" she said, "but won't you
please tell me your profession, so that
can write it after your name?
ooh, put down land owner," he an
swered.
But that isn't profession" she
said.
"Well, then, put down 'academi-
cian,'" was his answer.
This word seemed to puzzle her and
therefore he asked with a smile,
Don't you know what an academician
is?"

IMMENSE HORDE OF DoGFIsH.
Destroy Nets and Tackle on the New
England Coast.

England Coast.
Prof. C. F. Holder writes: Several
years ago witnessed sudden run of
dogfish-a small shark-on the New
England coast. In the morning the
men were cod-fishing on the banks, but
suddenly the dogfsh set In. They
came in countless thousands, Destroy
ing the fishing; ravenous horde,
fairly filing the water and eating even
jelly fishes to satisfy their hunger. No
sooner did bait strike the water than
several rushed at it, and the boat near
me had the sail, which was dragging
overheard, torn to pieces by them. The
fishermen Immediately changed their
tackle and began fishing for dogfish
for the livers, which were valued at
a cent apiece, soon filling their boats.
AS the fish were hauled in they ut
tered loud croaks sounding like
'r-o-i-k, r-o-i-k,' and this was heard
from scores of swapping mouths in
concert. 1t seemed to require no little
effort to produce a sound, and it may
have been, in all probability was, the
accompaniment of convulsive gasp
ing for breath"

Even Small Satisfaction Was Denied
to Unfortunate.
At considerable expense the Pud-
dlecombe Town Council had erected
some public baths, and not long ago
they were opened by one of the lead
ing men of the neighborhood.
One of the proudest men there was
Sandy, who had been appointed bath
superintendent. Sandy had two hob
bies-dog breeding and swimming.
Just prior to the opening ceremony
one of the local councillors slipped and
fell into the six-foot end of the bath.
Come out O. that!" .roared Sandy,
leaning over and catching the unfor-
tunate one by his hair. Come out O.

When dragged out the councillor
tried to laugh the matter off by re-
marking: Anyhow, l have had the

He was denied even this satisfac-
ton.

MOOSE THAT tanned HERSELF.

Animal lie Thoroughly at Home on
Hote! Lawn.
Kineo has a special attraction just
now in the shape of a COW moose
which makes herself thoroughly at
home on the hotel lawns cycling spec
tators mildly or chewing her cud in
the sun with evident satisfaction.
Early in October the COW put in an
appearance in the vicinity of the
camps of the Nighthawk Club at Sugar
Island, and very soon manifested de-
cided tendency to make friends with
the club men. She soon became SO
tame as to eat out of the hands Of her
friends.
When it came time to close the
camps the members thought of the
COW moose. They telephoned to Man
ager C. A. Judkins of the Mount XII
neo house, asking him if he would
take her to Kineo. He did, and since
that time she has roamed at will close
to the hotel, evidently thoroughly at
home.
She enjoys the fresh green grass OF
the lawns, watches the hustle of life
here with apparent interest, poses will
ingly for amateur photographers, and
in fact is most obliging and congo
NAL guest. The intention now Is to
keep her here as permanent attrac-
ton. 1t is believed that this is the
only instance on record where wild
moose has been tanned in this way
