PLENTY TO EAT.

From the brooklyn Eagle. - -.-
A shudder of fear goes through the land.
1t appears that the Anaerican people are
about to be starvedaito death. The meat
supply suffices for 6niy,a week, and when
the week is up the streets will be strewn
with shrtveled corpses. ,daeef riots will &C.

This, at least Is the picture that certain
understanding draws from it's own contem-
plation. Meanwhile. let us draw attention
to this fact: That over on the other side
Of the earth little nation of men who
hardly taste of meat in year. who live on
grains and vegetables, Is giving the fight Of
his life to meat-eating giant who knows
little Of rice, but is alleged to consume
candles. suet, blubber and soap with en-
thusiasm. The vegetarian army has proved
itself quicker in it's wits. keener In It's
fighting, stronger, nimbler, and in all ways
the better of the burly Slavs that were sent
out against it.

Fairs and Trade Lectures in Germany,
| From the Milwaukee Sentinel

Fairs and Trade Lectures in Germany.
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
''Saxony. Germany is about the only
place In the world where a continuous fair
is held during the entire year." said Will
lam J. Helms. These fairs are of three
kinds. The most important exhibitions are
held in the larger cities during the summer
and fall months for a week at a time but
never on the same dates. 1t is quite COM
mon to see as many at 1900 to %, 900 per-
sons attend fair. and they stay from
early in the morning until late at night
The government Of Saxony recognizes the
fact that the matter Of holding expositions
has passed the experimental stage. and
that they are a great benefit to business.
Another fact which appealed to me when
I was travelling through Germany was the
action Of the Bavarian trades museum IN
sending out travelling lecturers who show
the practical workings Of toys by means
Of models In actual. operation The museum
is, l believe. upheld by the manufacturers
of Bavaria. who are largely engaged In
making toys for sale in America and at
home and the fact that the sales of toys,
especially mechanical ones, In that section
of the country Is ascribed to the work of
these travelling lecturers.

PROFESSIONAL EATERS.
Indians Employ Men to Consume Food
for Them.

From the HyGenic Gazette.
One Of the most striking customs Of the
past that are preserved by the Indians Of
today L. found among the tribes on the
Devils Lake reservation in North Dakota.
Supervisor Wright OF the Indian service
gives the following account OF this peculiar
practice:
From time immemorial the Devils Lake
Sioux have adhered to an old custom in
regard to the treatment OF a guest. Ac-
cordtng to their etiquette it Is the bounden
duty Of the host to supply his guest with
all the food he may desire, and as a rule
the apportionment set before the visiting
Indian Is much in excess of the capacity Of
a single man.
But by the same custom the guest is
obliged to eat all that is placed before him.
else he grossly insults his entertainer. It
was found that this practice would work a
hardship. but instead Of dispensing with the
custom the Indian method of reasoning was
applied. and what is known as the profess
sonal eater was brought to the front.
w nile the guest Is supposed to eat all
that Is placed before him 1t serves the
same purpose If his neighbor assists in de-
vouring the bountiful repast. the main OBJ
Ject peing to have the plate clean when the
meal Is finished
1T Is not always practicable to depend
upon neighbor at table to assist I'm get
ting away with a large dinner and in order
to insure the final consumption of the al
lotted portion visiting Indians call upon
these professional eaters whose duty 1t is
to sit beside them through a meal and eat
what the guest leaves. The professional
eaters are never looked upon in the light Of
guests. but more as travelling companions
with a particular duty to perform
These eaters receive from 81 to 81 and
even 50 for each meal where they assist.
It is stated by the agent at the DEVILS
Lake reservation that one of the profess
sonal eaters has been known to dispose Of
seventeen pounds Of beef at sitting. That
they are capable of eating an almost fabu-
lous amount l myself can testify

An Alplne Heroine.

One of the bravest deeds in Alpine
annals was performed n short time
ago on the mountain Paray de Tarde-
want in Haute Savoie. by Mile Mari
anne Delachenal, a French peasant girl
18 years OF age. At great risk she
saved her lover. Joseph Robin, who
is of the same age as Marianne. from
certain death.
According to the Paris correspond
ents of the London Daily Chronicle.
the young couple were returning
home at sunset. driving their goats
before them alongside a strong cou-
loir, when Robin noticed that some
goats still remained near the summit.
In spite of the entreaties OF Marianne,
Robin took short cut up the couloir,
instead OF going around 1t. He had
reached point halfway up the cou-
loir when an avalanche OF stones rush
ed down. sweeping him of his legs,
and hurrying him toward the preci-
pice. Mile. Delachenal for moment
stood rooted to the spot with horror;
the next instant she ran into the mid
die of the couloir right in the way of
the avalanche of stones. and caught
her lover in her arms. Both were car
ried downward, but the brave girl
managed to stop at the brink Of the
abyss, over which the avalanche
thundered. The young girl half-drag-
ged half.carried her unconscious bur
den out of danger and, hurrying to the
village. obtained help. Besides a
severe wound in the hand, Robin had
two ribs broken, and sustained other
internal injuries. 1t was only discov-
ercd later that Marianne had also
been injured, having received some
nasty cuts on the arms. but they were
not serious.
The Springfield herald., 1904-10-14
Democrat. and Protection.

The difference between tho Republi-
eau and Democratic parties on the tariff
question is radical and fundamental. The
former believes in protection to Ameri-
can industries because experience has
proved beyond a doubt that 1t is promo
tive of the prosperity ahae of capitalist
and workman. of manufacturer and wage
Garner, or employer and employe. The
Democratic party denonnces protection
as robbery, and would wipe 1t out.
The Democratic platform attempts to
make an issue out Of tariff revision, but
when Democratic orators talk OF tariff
revision they mean destruction of pro-
lection. 1t is the protective principle
with which they are Mt war. The Re
publican party believes in real tariff re-
vision. Conditions change, and as they
change the tariff needs modification to
meet the new conditions. The Repub-
lican party would revise schedules. but
still maintain protection. while the Demo
cratic party proposes not to revise sched-
ules but to abolish protection.

At the opening OF the campaign the
Democratic managers asserted that
Friends, Dunknrds and members OF oth-
er pcace-loving Christian societies wou!i
oppose Mr.. Roosevelt's election. lnves-
tigation showed the assertion to be uh-
truc. Now the Democratic managers are
rcsortins to despicable means, in the
hope OF winning n few votes, but are
meeting with merited rcbnffs. w. j.
Showaltcr, who processes to be Dunk
nrd, has been employed by the Democrat
ic committee to do its dirty work. Here
is sample OF the letters he is sendin;
to Indiana Dunknrds and the Kind OF re-
plies he is receiving. The recipient OF
the letter quoted is preacher Mt Kappa.
Indiana. Shownlter's letter follows:
"Washington, ID. c., Sept. 10.

ed envelope in which l want to ask you
to he good enough to send me the names
and addresses of all the male members
of your church who are over II years or
age, or as many of them as You can.
You will see by the enclosed slip just
what President Roosevelt thinks OF peo-
pie who profess the peace principle. and
simply want to pnt the same thing in
their hands so that il they vote at all
for him they can do it with their eyes
open. My people are all Dnnkards, my
father being treasurer of the Old Folks

when all men will cspouse the peace

Fleet , Republican Hou,.,

Nearly every American citizen who
will vote for President in the coming cleo
ton will also vote for Representative
in Congress. 1t is to be hoped that no
Republican will fail to vote for the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in his
district While the national honor and
the public welfare demand the election Of
President Roosevelt, and while the rea-
sons for his election are overwhelming
and unanswerable those for the election
OF Republican House of Representa-
tives are equally so. With Democratic
House Mr.. Roosevelt would be almost
helpless to carry out the great Republi-
can policies 10 which he is committed.
No Republican should be induced by any
consideration not to vote for the Re
publican candidate for Congress in his
district.
