Not long ago there stood in the
Harlem Police Court, in New
York City, a variety Of men and
woman arrested for drunken
ness. One was noticeable for his
age, and for his extreme despair.
He did not seem to care what be-
came Of him. He came up before
the magistrate, a younger lyman,
who inquired his name. He re-
piled: "Joseph-." The mag
istrate started and then peered
curiously into the old mans face
and inquired with a note O agita-
ton in his voice:
You're not the Joseph -
that used to be the head man at
Chahin's?'
Eyes, I I'M the same man."
A few years ago the magistrate
an honored Judge, was the Office
boy in Clafiin's great store, at
$500 a week, and Joseph -
was head man in the same estab.
lishment, earning $4,000 a year.

why Cold Air stimulates.

Cold, fresh air has special value be-
cause it stimulates all the functions OF
the body; it quickens the heart and in
creases the number OF red corpuscles in
the blood. A reduction of 70 degrees in
Its temperature increases the proper
tion of oxygen in air one-seventh. This
is why one feels better in cold than in
warm air. The vital fires as well as ores
in CRATES burn brighter in cold weather.
The whole tide Of life moves with great
er activity. When oxygen Is not plenti-
ful enough to make the vital fires burn
sufficiently to consume the fuel and
waste Of the body, then much OF the
waste material is left behind in the form
of imperfectly burned substances, which
may be called cinders OF the body. Uric
acid is cinders.

WARL|KE DAMARAS !.
Something About the African Ma
tives Now Fighting Germany.
Differ In Many Respects from Other
Trfbesmen of South Africa-Are
Devoid of Human Sympathy
Their War Dances.

Within the boundaries of what IL
known as German Southwest Africa,
there is being waged at the present
time conflict with the natives which
have revolted against German rule.
The immense territory over which Ger
many exercises protectorate consists
of what was formerly known as Damara
and Great Mama lands It is estimated
that these two territories contain
native population of 100000 and there
are about 1900 Europeans in the coun-
try, mostly Germans. Probably large
number of these latter are traders, and
it is said that the present uprising is
due to their extortion in dealing With
the natives, who supply hides. horns,
ostrich feathers, cattle and guano, and
receiving trinkets and sometimes moth
ing in return.
The Damara men are of moderate
height, and generally well made, of a
rich dark brown, like the Kaffirs, and
their hair is generally Strengthened out
inches long, with fat and red clay.
Their dress, if such it can be called,
consists of great quantities of thin
leather thongs coiled round the hips,
and small piece of skin between the
legs with the ends brought up and
tucked fore and aft into the cord.
Beads, iron rings, strips Of tin or brass
ETC., are used for ornaments, and in
the hair over the center of the fore
head cookie shell is worn.
The costume Of the women is most
singular. Strings of beads, either Of
glass or iron, or from the ostrich egg
shell, are hung round their necks and
hips, the latter being encircled by a
broad loose belt, with pieces of shell or
white beads worked on it. Anklets are
formed of iron strung upon leather.
and in some cases these heavy circlets
extend away down over the instep.
Iron in various forms, either as rings
for the arms and wrists or beads to
decorate the body are freely used. But
the most curious portion of their attire
is the headdress, which consists of a
stout leather skullcap with three ears
of the same material affixed to it, one
on each side and one behind, nicely
rounded, followed and stiffened and
finally polished with grease and red
clay. Bands of coarse shells are gen.

At His Feet.

Vigor of speech was characteristic
of Judge Burr, of Connecticut, who late
ly resigned from the bench on account
of deafness. A New Haven lawyer once
introduced to Judge Burr an almost un-
known but very self-confident novelist,
whose good opinion of himself has been
justified since by events. In his con-
versation with the judge he did not fail
to make known his estimate Of his own
brilliancy. Judge Burr observed the
young man closely and sternly. Finally
he said: so you expect to be famous
some day. eh?" Some day." said the
young man, II expect to have the world
at my feet" What have you been do
ing all this time" said the Judge; walk
ing on your hands?"

African tribes the aged and helpless

the sick or helpless, even though they
be members of the same family. A mis-
sionary tells of a native blind girl
whom he took into his house to protect
from the members of her own family.

Such are the natives against which
Germany is forced to wage warfare.
It is said that Windhoek, the residence
Of the government ofiicials, has been
attacked by 5000 to 5000 natives and

tion with the outside world. The ma

MILLIONS In A BALL GAME.
the Sport Brought Fortune
to q Widow.

Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, is not
the only public man devoted to base
ball, but there are few men who have
turned single ball game to account to
the tune Of many thousand dollars. Yet
that's what they tell about him, says
the New York Evening Post. He was
sitting on a fence-as the story goes
In the little New England town where
he spends his summers, watching a
game, when fortune came to him in dis
guise Of a shabby man with hard luck
story. Ordinarily the senator would not
have been inclined to listen, but as he
could watch the game at the same time
he told the man to 60 ahead.
The stranger said that he was passing
through the town and wanted to inter-
est an able lawyer in the case OF his sis
ter, who was living in abject poverty in
Boston with several children dependent
on her. He went on to explain that his
sister had married barkeeper of that
city and that her husband had been very
successful, was interested in a number
of hotels, and had become a millionaire
With his change of fortunes he had
taken to dissipation and finally had
abandoned his family and contracted a
bigamous marriage elsewhere.
Mr.. Spooner was not much impressed
with the story at first, particularly AS
the stranger said that he and his sister
had no money to pay lawyer, but were
anxious to have Senator Spooner take
the case on contingent fee, which
would be half of what he could recover
for the deserted wife. The senator took
the address of the poor woman, but with
hardly a thought that he should ever
have occasion to refer to it.
1t CHANGED, however, that he was in
Boston short time afterward, and, dis
covering that there was to be good ball
game in the afternoon, decided to stay
over until the following morning. This
resulted in his having the early part of
the day unoccupied on his hands and,
remembering the hard-luck story, he
INDUCED his curiosity by a visit to the
woman. He found her in the greatest
poverty, as described, and surrounded
by evidences to confirm the allegations
of the stranger On his way to his Wis
consin home he stopped in Chicago and
enlisted the services OF friend there to
look up the record of the husband, who,
he ascertained, had recently died. In a
day or two he received telegram call
ing him to Chicago at once, as the state
ments made to him had proved true.
The widow-as she supposed herself to
be-who had inherited the fortune,
learned with amazement of the exist
ence of a previous wife, and her law
yers were equally astonished. But a
brief investigation led to settlement,
by which a 81, ,0O0, 900 estate was equally
divided, and Senator Spooner carried
away an enormous fee as the fruit of an

ARID WESTERN REGIONS.
Scale to Render Them Fertile
Being Forwarded.

In paper published in recent 10.
sue OF journal devoted to the &c.
ographic interests of the country, F. H.
Newell, chief engineer in charge of the
reclamation Of arid lands in the west.
details at considerable length the prog
ress of the work. Some of the facts
he mentions are presented here.
The reclamation fund now amounts
to about $15,0O0,0OO, and is increas-
ing rapidly. The fund is accumulated
under the provisions of the reclama.
tion law, which set apart the proceeds
from the sale Of public lands in 13
territories for the construction Of ir-
rigation works.
The land sales in 1901 started the
fund with $3,0OO,OO0; in 1902 the sum
Of $4,O00,000 was added, and in 1908
about $S,00O,0OO. The more irrigation
works are built the more public land
within reach Of water supply will be-
come marketable, and thus the prog.
ress of the work will help to swell the
fund.
AS the water is supplied, the owners
Of the land benefited will pay for what
they use, and will ultimately pay for
the entire cost OF the Improvement.
All the money they pay will be turned
back into the fund. and thus will be
used over and over again for the build
ing of storage reservoirs.
When finally the limit of water at
tainable has been reached. and it is
not practicable to irrigate more land,
the entire fund. will be turned into the
general treasury.
The work of surveying the western
streams to ascertain the amount of
water supplied. how the lands may
be reclaimed by irrigation. has been in
progress since 1883, and Is still going
on. The work of building the storage
reservoirs has only Just begun in Ne
vada and Arizona.
Some of the states and territories
from which the largest contributions
to the fund are received, because they
include the greater part Of the acreage
sold. will derive least benefit from the
fund. The contribution of North Da-
kota is very large, but there will be
little irrigation in that state, because
irrigable lands and an adequate water
supply are hard to find.
Oklahoma is large contributor, but
with its sub-humid climate it has lit
tie need OF irrigation. On the other
hand, little land is sold in Nevada,
and its addition to the fund is small.
but the state affords the largest op-
portunity for irrigation development.
Colorado is the greatest mining
state. but the proceeds from the small
irrigation area in Colorado are al
ready more valuable than the gold and
silver produced. The area Of land
that can be reclaimed by irrigation is
relatively small, but if two or three
per cent. Of the vast area Of arid land
Is ultimately reclaimed, and put un-
der cultivation, it will mean pop
ulation in the western half of the
United States almost as great as that
now in the eastern part of the coun-
try.
Nearly all the land has value in one
way or another, and the grazing in
dustry will always occupy 80 or 90
per cent. of the arid lands. But the
value of the grazing products will not
be so great as that Of the crops raised
on the reclaimed lands.
