A TEST OF ADVERTISING.
Register and Leader.


Colonel Albert A. Pope, has bought
the assets of the defunct bicycle trust
and intends to demonstrate to the pub
lie that by liberal use of newspaper
space he can reinstate the bicycle in
public favor. Colonel Pope is a man
of energy, ingenuity and resource and
has made something of a hobby of the
efficacy of advertising. The future of
the bicycle will be watched with curious
interest.
Starting in 1878 with a capital of less
than $4,000, the Pope Company whenitt
sold to the trust was capitalized at

MADE THE ARGUS FAMOUS.
[Lehigh Argus. ]


Last spring during the exceedingly
vet weather. the Argus made mention
OF the fact that John F'leming,s house
yard and well had moved fully four
| feet. Several of our exchanges in
commenting on the item, seemed 10
look at 1t from the wrong angle, and
some of the boys of the Upper Des
Moines Editorial Association at Boone,
We're inclined to think we were ths
most 'tuneful Tyre" out. The heavy
rains and continued wet weather this
year has made it possible for us to
increase the distance Mr.. Fleming's
we'll has been moved to eighteen feet.
No doubt this will be discredited By
some, but it is a fact nevertheless.
1t is generally conceded that there is
one thing you can't move and that IS
the Well, yet Mr.. Flemings we'll has
moved eighteen feet, and he draws
water from 1t every day. but each time
has to go little farther for his water.
Taking into consideration the location
of MIR. F'leming's house on the hillside
near the Corey Coal Company's mine
and the wet seasons the past two years,
it is not at all surprising that the place
should move. In fact there is fully
three acres of land on the move there,
and Mr.. Fleming is located about the
center of the slide. Trees fully a foot
and a half in diameter are many feet
nearer the valley than where they first
sprouted and grew. The little creek at
the bottom is being elevated by the
earth crowding down from above. The
elements that be- is surely working
havoc in the vicinity of the Fleming

a marked advocate of freedom. When
greatest he opened his house to her. He
took the stump for a free soil candidate
for governor of Massachusetts and told
the people of Boston that John Brown
would hake the gallows glorious like
the cross" Socially he was gentle and
hospitable and happy when entertain
ing his friends. Kindly but quiet he
seldom laughed and rarely showed irri
tation. Poet, philosopher, preacher,
the type of what might be expected
from his ancestry.
SO one hundred years after his birth
the centenary will be celebrated of that
man of whom John Quincy Adams said
in 1910: After failing in the every
day avocation of a Unitarian preacher
and schoomaster he starts a new doc
trine of transcendentalsm, declares all
,he old revelations supeTannuated and
worn out and announces the approach
of new revelations. The centenary
does not however, celebrate Emerson
as the founder of new sect or the an
tagonist Of old creeds. 1t celebrates
great American writer and thinker, who
added TO the treasures ot literature from
the bountiful stores Of his knowledge:
who stood for freedom of thought and
belief mental or religious. without re-
spect to denomination or school. 1t is
that such souls should be re-
membered and the En- arson centenary
is simply the recognition of his value to
the world.

THE LAW OF COMPENSATION.

Pride goeth before a fall and q
naughty spirit before Instruction. Mrs.
Hadley, the chambermaid who refuse
to make Booker T. Washington's bed,
is an instance of this great truth.
After her discharge from the service
of the Indianapolis hotel. where she
made her bid for notor:ety by public
insult TO a famous mar, the southern
people" sent her letters of congratula-
ton and presents of money and Valua-
bles of various kinds. Her assets grew
into thousands. 1t was at once pleas
ing and astonishing to one who had
made so many beds ana remained poor
to find that refusal to make one more
brought wealth and praise. Anciently
people waxed fat and kicked. Mrs.
Hadley kicked first and waSed fat
afterward.
But now Mrs. Hadley, the capitalist,
is again a galley slave to necessity.
Thursday night she was robbed. Bur-
glars entered her room. chloroformed
her into insensibflity ant: carried away
money and presents. all the sacrifice
that arrogance had laid on the altar of
insult La refine est mort; vive lie
chambermaid!
No doubt the southern people will
sorrow with Mrs. Hadley and the fact
that negroes perpetrated the burglary
will not be likely to soften the grief of
either. The thought that his money
given to lady, be CAD, sab. who stood
up for human rights, sah," may be
furnishing the sinews of a cakewalk or
the baked 'possum TO make a negro gala
cay will not bring resignation to the
heart of the southern contributor to the
Hadley fund: and Mrs. Hadley will find
no comfort in the thought that her dia-
monds. won as they were. bedeck
breasts as black as the ace of spades
and swell the social triumph of the
wide-lipped bellies of Btpckville. 1t is
all very sad for Mrs. Hadley and her
admirers, but believers in the law of
compensation Will find In her loss added
evidence to support their theory.

THE EMERSON CENTENARY.

One hundred years ago Ralph Waldo
Emerson was born in Boston and today
the country paused for The moment to
honor the centenary of philosopher.
Some one, no matter who. has said that
a hundred years is too snort a time in
which to write authentic history. 1t
may be APPLY added that century Is
not too long for the biography of men
like Emarson to crystali2c in.
Emerson WAS a religious philosopher
by inheritance. He was The inbred de-
scendant of the Christian ministry. His
father was minister ard pastor of the
First church of Boston, famous for his

Review. Ralph Waldo Emerson's
grandfathers on both sides for five gem
erations had been ministers. 1t was a

mystically idealistic. IDS idealism is
insistent. To him it is not ideallsm at

spirituality into the flesh and insists
upon concrete results. He demands
that action tread upon the heels of be-
lief and that conception of I; higher life
shall be but the pursuivgi.t of perform

emotional. His idealism was never sem

He turned from the canvas breathing
with form and color to the cold pure
statuary of the intellect. A primrose on

not thru the shape and color of its pet

created 1t and part OF the plan of the

A Find In the Forum.

Guided BY the clue afforded In the
first poem OF Status Silva. ami BY
the later notifications in the arrange
ment OF the central portion OF the Ro-
man Forum. Signor Boni. the head d.
rector Of thc excavations, has now un.
earthed the enormous pedestal which
once bore the equestrian statute Of
Domitian. reared in honor Of that Em-
peror's triumphant campaign against
the Catti and Daci. The base Of this
colossus measures forty feet in length.
twenty in width AMI ten in thickness.
and lay about five feet beneath the
present level OF the Forum. Traces
Of the sockets wherein were the iron
supports OF the bronze statute and
remnants OF the horses feet go to
show that the horse and the figure
of the Emperor Domitian were six
times larger in size than the recently
unearthed pedestal. The pedestal Is
situated toward the centre OF the
Forum. The statute has the Basilica
Paul on its left. the spacious Basilica
Julia on it's right. and the Temple OF
yespasian in its rear. The discovery
confirms the speculations OF earlier
archeologists. and is Of extraordinary
importancc as regards the Forum
topography in the first century of the
empire.
