We're of the opinion, tonight. that 70
more troops Will be needed to control
the situation.
Both Chief of Police OBrien and
Sheriff RoutZahn believe, however. that
it would be Il mistake to materially
decrease the number Of troops now on
hand. There are unmistakable signs
of ugly feeling on the part of the men
and the boys who have composed the
mobs of the last three days, and the
authorities realize that the shooting of
either 4 white man or negro, or even
a street fight between men of opposite
races, would be sufficient to start the
mob again on n killing and burning
expedition.
The burning Of 4 portion of the levee
and the vacating Of several other negro
saloons and lodging houses by their
pronrietors. has only partially satisfied
the mob which was thwarted by the

Proverbs Concerning rsars.,

diplomat who has been at the
Russian court for long time has col
lected some interesting Russian pro
verbs concerning the tsars. says the
New York Tribune. Here are a few:
The tsar himself can get muddy if
he steps in the mud"
Even the crown of the tsar cannot
cure headache"
The tsar's COWS cannot have more
than two horns.
An active tsar puts wings upon his
ministers feet"
A tsar who limps can nevertheless
make some long strides"
"A drop of water in the eye of the
tsar costs the country a great many
handkerchiefs."
"A tsar in the desert is only d man."
When the tsar is a rhymster poets
are unhappy
When the tsar makes you a pres
ent of an egg he expects of you a hen.
When the tsar wishes to cut some
thongs the people should furnish their
skins
Even the hens Of the tsarina cannot
lay goose eggs.
when the tsar squints the minis
tiers are One-eyed and the people blind
The tsar never hurts his finger but
what everybody carries his arm in 4
sling"
That which the tsar cannot accom-
plish is only accomplished by time"
The tsar can disturb the earth. but
he cannot move IL from its axis.
The tsar knows not misery because
he does not live in cabin"
The arm Of the tsar Is long, but
it cannot reach to the sky
The valet Of the tsar believes he
has some right 10 the crown.
The voice of the tsar has an echo
even when there are no mountains.
THE ukases of the tsar are worth
nothing If God says not Amen
The horse which has once been
mounted by the tsar neighs continu-
ally"

Simplicity OF Thought

is not alone among the practical
manifestations of our life that
there is need of making a clearing: the
domain of our ideas is in the same
case. Anarchy reigns in human
thought: we walk in the woods, with
out compass or sun. lost among the
brambies and briars Of infinite de-
tail
When once man has recognized the
fact that he has an aim, and that this
aim is TO be man, he organizes his
thought accordingly. Every mode of
thinking or judging which does not
make him better and stronger, he re-
jects as dangerous.
And fiTsS of all he fees the too COM
mon contrariety of amusing himself
with his thought. Thought is a tool
with its own proper function: il isn't
a toy. Let Us take an example. Here

with his whole heart. and not with that

thing, runs the risk of never expert
encing deep and true emotion or ac-
complishing a right deed.
