SOMETHING ABOUT PRAIRIE DOGS
Every Dog Has His Day, So Has the
American Prairie Don

SOMETHING ABOUT PRAIRIE DOGS
Every Dog Has His Day, So Has the
American Prairie Dog. .}
There has recently been organized
at Pierre, South Dakota, the American
Prairie Dog discriminating Company,
which has for its object the extermi-
nation of prairie dogs in America.
This company evidently means bust
ness, for it is appointing agents over
the country to prosecute the. work Of
killing prairie dogs, and it guarantees
to kill all the dogs that may be on a
PERSONS land, or make no charges for
the work. If this company can do
what It guarantees to do, it will GER
tainly find its services in ready de-.
mand, for the prairie dog is perhaps,
the worst pest the western farmer has
to contend with at the present time.
His nature and habits have made him
an animal almost impossible for man
to get at. Catacombing the ground
with his burrows, possessed Of cute
ness and cunning which have defed
the arts of man to destroy him he
has made himself practically the
monarch of large stretches of western
lands-lands which are naturally fine
for crops and pasturage, but which are
rendered by the prairie dog practically
useless. =.
The determination of prairie dogs
is a matter Of Importance to every
owner of land where they exist. They
increase so fast that after they have
once become established in a place, it
takes but a little while for them to
cover large tract of land, and as
long as they occupy it, it has but lit
tie, If any, rental value, and it's
market value is intellectually depreci-
ated, on account of the towns giving
the land bad appearance, and it's
being the home, of the rattle snake
and screech owl. People having
prairie dogs on their lands will find
it a paying proposition to have them
exterminated. The American Prairie
Dog DISCRIMINATING company Is in the
field for business, and will be glad to
correspond with any who have dogs
they wish exterminated. ~

was q gentleman of the old school,

He served in the state senate several

leaves a memory that is fragrant with
good deeds done and achievements
honorably attained.

The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1904-03-05

There are lots of folks who claim to
not understand why Afro-Americans
are such hide-bound Republicans, as
general rule. Well, here is one OF
the reasons incorporated in the fol-
lowing excerpt from the daily press:
''Annapclis, Md, March Fin the
house of delegates today the Jim Grow
bill, introduced by Delegate nirbin,
which provides that steam railways
in the state of Maryland shall furnish
separate cars for colored people, ex-
cept on express trains, and that all
steamboats, plying in Maryland wa
tiers shall provide separate compart-
ments, was passed by strict party
vote, all the Democrats voting for it
and all the Republicans against it"
All the men who claim to be Re-
publicans are not all right on the
brotherhood of Man" principles; nor,
is the party, as whole, all right
along the same line; but, we so often
find individual Democrats all wrong
on that principle, and the Democratic
party invariably wrong along that
line, that of the two evils, we choose
the lesser. Republicans sometimes
block the pathway of our progress,
but Democrats always do so, therefore
are we Republicans.

BADGER \ FINE EXCAVATION.
As Digger Of Earth the Little Anima
Takes HIGH Rank.

As Digger Of Earth the Little Animal
Takes High Rank.
A writer On natural history has the
following to say OF badgers: I'm hard
winter weather the badger lies much
in its earth, hibernating for long peri
DDS. much after the fashion of the
bear, and sleeping, like that animal,
with one paw IN it's mouth. At this
season the beast closes up the mouth
of it's den and slumbers away it's time
for many days, even weeks together.
In milder weather it ventures forth
again in search Of food. In the bust
ness of digging the badger is one OF
the finest opponents in the world, max
ing it's way underground, even amid
the greatest obstacles, with strength,
celebrity and perseverance that are
truly marvellous. l have always re-
garded the aardvark the ant-eater- OF
South Africa, as the champion digger
of the animal kingdom, having been
witness of some of his exploits; but
the badger takes very high place in
the art OF getting under ground"

THE ALTON SCHOOL CASE.

The famous Alton School case has
been decided against the Afro-Amer-
lean. The board of education several
years ago built special school for
Afro-Americans. fScott Bibb and a
number of others refused to send their
children there and attempted to send
them to the nearest public school.
The superintendent of schools refused
to permit this and a suit for manda-
mus was brought in Bibbs' name
against the officials.
The suit has been to the appellate
and supreme courts number of times,
and has been reversed and remanded
upon various points each time. An
appeal will be taken to the state su-
preme court.
Money will be needed to make the
fight and the Afro-Americans of ILL
nois ought to furnish it.
The Appeal will give $40 to start the
fund. How much will you give, kind
reader?

Bird and Man FIiqht.

No amount of study nor the careful
est anticipation of conditions that sci
ence can figure out take the place of
the hereditary instinct that enables
the bird to maintain it's equilibrium at
first flight. This is the principal rea-
son why progress in aeronautics is so
slow. Practically all the mechanical
problems have been worked out over
and over again, and the solutions test
ed in every way that science knows.
But one equation remains to be solved
and that is the human equation. BY
short and hazardous supplementary
fights the inventors must learn what
is lacking to complete their labors.

A MILLION FOR DEFENSE.

Kehoshiro Okahura, millionaire
of Toxic, Japan, offers his private
museum worth $1,000,000, for sale
in America, and he purposes to do
nate the amount to the Japanese war
fund. 1t is this spirit of sacrifice
which has made the Japanese a
great people.
We have no member of the race
who is able to give $1,00O,000, but
there are 100000 who could easily
give 81 each. and if the right spirit
prevailed the sum would be raised
in a week by the Afro-Americans as
a fund to be used in the defense of
the rights of the race. 1t ought to
be raised.

The date for holding the next Ma
Il wal Republican Convention, June FL.
at Chicago, is the latest of any con-
vention in the history of that party.
1t will be the thirteenth National Re-

eive the superstitious something to
talk about. Other Republican con-

Since the Republican party won it's

About Women.

A woman who marries second time
runs two risks; she may regret that
she lost her first husband or that she
did not always have the second one.
But, in the first case, her second hus-
band may regret her first husband
even more than she does, and tell her
so, too. The woman who looks anna
BILE and cheerful is naturally beautiful,
far more so than woman with ire
proachable sculptural outlines and fea-
lures so regular that she makes you
wish she had some redeemlng defect
or otner. Perfection was attractive in
ancient Greece; it is not now.-Phila-

Scholastic Rabbits.

A company of scholars going to-

lar with them who had not much more
wit than he was born with and him
they cautioned to be silent if he saw
any rabbits for fear of soaring them.
But he saw company of rabbits be-
fore the rest and cried out in Latin:
Behold, many rabbits!" He had no
sooner said this than the rabbits ran
to their burrows. Being reproved by
his companions for it, he answered:
"Who the devil would have thought
that the rabbits understood Latin?'
