He WINS Too Clever.

Mr.. Turveytop has. up to very re-
Gently considered himself quite clever
and nothing so pleases him as to get
the better of some insuspecting per-
son, says the Chicago Journal
For long time his wife had been
in need of new boa; and after hint
ing that her happiness would never be
complete till she had one, he at last
decided to crafty her desire. So he
went into shop and picked out a
couple, one of which was cheap and
the other very expensive.
Opon these he changed the price tick
ct, putting the cheap price mark on the
expensive boa, and vice versa, and then
took them home.
For long time his wife pondered,
and at last said:
Now, dear, the expensive boa is a.
beauty, and it is really very good of
you to allow me my choice. Some
women would take it without a word,
but really / don't think we can afford
the more costly one. and, besides, 1
think the cheap one is more stylish,
too. Why. what is the matter? Are
you ill?"
But Mr.. Turveytop had fled into the
night, where unseen he could kick HIM
self to his hearts content.

Means of Her.

There is diminutive fox terrier with
snappy brown eyes, a short tail and a
pair of nicely trimmed ears at the home
Of. Miss Annie Stein, seventeen years
old, that is the object Of much con-
sideration,- says the New York Her
aid.
Miss Stein has one arm bound up in
a sling, but with the other she pets the
terrier. For the little dog saved her
life.
There is bull on the Stein farm
big, cross and always looking for trou-
BILE. Seeing Miss Stein walking through
a field, wearing a red coat, the bull
came charging down upon her. He
caught the girl on his horns and toss
ed her high in the air.
The terrier was trotting quietly along
with his mistress when the bull
charged. He leAped at the bull and
his teeth closed tight over the animals
right ear. Every ounce of terrier
strength and persistency was in that
grip, and the bull became so discomfort
ed that he forgot the PROSTATE girl
and tried to break the dogs hold.
Meanwhile Miss Stein managed to
scale fence. When she was safe the
terrier Jet go and cleared the fence after
her.

ANOTHER FORTUNE STORY Ex-
FLOODED.

A few days ago it was stated In the
dispatches that the heirs of George
T. Downing, who was a negro of con-
siderable prominence in his day, and
some other negroes. were preparing to
bring suit for the recovery of a great
deal of the land owned in the Adiron-
dacks by rich New Workers as game
preserves. 1t was said that the land
had once been owned by Gerritt Smith,
the noted abolitionist. and that he had
decided it to negroes for farms, and
that it had subsequently passed into
the hands Of Downing and other prom
inent men OF his race.
1t turns out that there is but slight
foundation for the story. 1t is true
that Gerritt Smith gave farms, rang
ing from so to 120 acres each, to about
eighty negroes. heads OF families.
These farms were situated near the
town of Florence, in Oneida county,
and the negroes were selected from
among the most thrifty Of their race,
living In the cities Of Albany, Sche-
nectady, Utica Rome. Syracuse and
other places. The abolition societies
provided these negro farmers with
agricultural tools. implements and ma
chinery, together with stock for their
farms, and in other ways assisted
them. They entertained the theory
that II the negroes were given a chance
they would prove themselves thrifty
and CAPABLE farmers and would be-
come valuable citizens.
II took only about four years to
prove the incorrectness OF this theory.
Al the end of that time only one ne
sro farmer remained In the vicinity of
the town OF Florence on the Smith
farms. All but this one had
sold their farms and practi-
cnlly spent the money. They
had proven 80 shittless and had man
aged 80 badly that they could not re-
tain. the land that had been given 10
them. and Il 10 probable that the abo-
litionists who had befriendad them
we're 90 disguated with thom that they
declined 20 lend them further assist
ance.
These negro farmers got the money
Tor thslr farms and decided them away.
Hence there ~ no foundation for the

A mathematical Calculation.

Trigg isn't as much a fool as he
looks. The other day a slick" real
estate agent came near landing him,
however. says the Brooklyn Eagle. The
deal was almost consunmated. when
Trigg, just as he was about to sign
the contracts. discovered a Senegam-
bian in the woodpile. 100
Without indicating in any way that
he saw the trick" he took up pad
and began making figures on it, add
ing, subtracting, dividing, extracting
square roots and so ON, until the real
estate brokers' patience was exhausted.
What the deuce are you figuring?"
asked the broker. VS.
Hold on! Wait a minutel" and
STrigg went on with his calculations.
''There!" said he. finally, II thought
| could figure it out if 1 stuck to it
long enough"

pad to the real estate man. Il find

wONDROUs WAYS OF ANTS.
From the London spectator.


Lieut.. Col. Sykes saw at Poonan
ants carrying out grain to dry in the
sun. DR.. Lincecum in Texas found
ants who planted certain bear
ing grass. reaped it, and carried the
grain into their cells, where they strip
ped it of chaff and packed it away.
The paper relating this was read by
Darwin before the Linnaean Society.
Another observer has told us of ants
which grow mushrooms.
The foraging ants of BRAZIL and
Western Equatorial Africa are terrible
creatures. Elephants and gorillas fly
before them; the python takes care
not to indulge in meal till he has
satisfied himself that there are none
Of them about. They have '1eisur-
ed class" much larger creatures, who
accompany their march, like subal-
tern officers In a marching regiment"
they are not fighters. however. One
curious conjecture as to their func-
ton has been made. They are indi-
gestible and birds spare the whole
army lest they should get hold of one
of these tough morsels. This, IL must
be allowed. looks a little too strange.
Slaves the ants certainly have, but
they do not make slave raids: the
larvae Of the inferior race are carried
off and Matched out. The browning
marvel. however is that the British
slave-owning ant, and he alone, makes
his slaves fight for him.

A STEP FORWARD IN SOUTH CARO-

of comment by Northern papers. 1t
seems remarkable TO them that in any
part of South Carolina there is a sem
timent sufficiently strong TO sustain
an organization Of that kind. II they
knew the best element of the people
of that state better they wouldn't
think the forming OF such an organ
ization 80 remarkable.
The meeting az which the organiza-
ton was formed took place I'm the
Court House. The chief address was
made by Mai. Harry Hammond, who.

THE PRESIDENTS ST. LOUIS TRIP

THE PRESIDENTS ST. LOUIS TRIP.
1t is regrettable that it is no longer
possible for the President of the United
States to travel about the country
without guard. His safety has to be
looked after now just as carefully as
the safety Of the Emperor of Russia is
And yet there is no reason why any
one should want to kill him. His death
could bring no benefit to any one. 1t
wouldn't change the laws in any re-
spect or bring larger liberty or special
benefits to any class of people. Indeed,
there is no complaint of a lack of lib
erty by any class. Liberty is so great
that people from all the world are COM
ing here to enjoy 1t and the high wages
which it is possible to earn. But there
are people, and a great many of them,
who wouldn't be satisfied whatever the
character of the government was or
however great the liberty they enjoyed.
No doubt the President. throughout
his st. Louis trip, was on the lookout
for an attempt on his life. If his mind
wandered to other matters it was
quickly brought back to it by the
presence Of the guards and detectives
that surrounded him on all occasions.
Even when he went to church last
Sunday there were guards in front, at
the sides and in the rear of his car
riage, and the crowd was on no occas-
ion permitted to come near him.
1t was no doubt humiliating to him
and to the great body Of the American
people that he had thus to be guarded.
If our Presidents were looked upon as
tyrants, or if they had the power to be
tyrants, there would be more reason
for expecting attacks upon them, but
in view of the fact that a President is
elected for only a brief period, and that
he can deprive no class of people of
liberty or make any citizen the victim
of tyranny. it does seem strange that
there should be men and women so,
lost to reason as to plot to assassinate
him.
And there doesn't seem to be any
way to get rid of such assassins or to
relieve the President of the feeling
that at any time in his journeys about
the country he may be the victim of
an assassin's bullet or knife except
those which have been adopted, and
they are somewhat ostentatious and
far from being effective. No amount of
education and no amount of severity
in the laws it is probable, will make
it possible for President ever again
to travel in even comparative safety
without guards and detectives. Persons
insane on the subject or killing rulers
are abroad in the land and doubtless
will always be.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Press (Rep.) says:
THE dispensary system in South Caro-
lima is said to be rather of a failure,
but in Russia the same thing, under an
other name, seems to be, financially at
least, most decided success. The Rus
sian government has a monopoly of
that sort of traffic. the Car being the
only rumseller' in his domains and
last year the revenue from the sale of
liquor amounted to the immense sum
of $685.. 900, 0O0."
The Scranton (Pa.) Republican says:
Although Gov. Terrell of Georgia has
two years to serve, two editors, j.
H. Estill of the Savannah News and
Clark Howell of the Atlantic Consti-
tuition. have announced that they will
be candidates to succeed him i'm Of
flee. Editors make strong guberna-
torial nominees, as has frequently been
demonstrated. The Democratic Cover
nor-elect of Minnesota is the editor
of a country paper, and If the Demo-
Gratis had only nominated more edi-
tors, it is possible they might have
elected more governors"
The Memphis Commercial Appeal
(Dem.) says: "A good many silly
Northerners are airing their views in
the press just now on the. election.
Most of them assume that the South
was hostile to Roosevelt solely because
OF his negro policy. That was real
ly a minor count in the Indictment.
The South was generally opposed to
Mr.. Roosevelt for the same reasons
that the New York Evening Post, for
instance, was opposed 10 him, namely:
his violations OF the Constitution, HIS
stand pat protection declaration, his
promotion of extravaganza and his en-
enlargement of spurious militarism. :"
The Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.)
says: THE South cannot hope for nor
ask anything az the hands OF the
President except such consideration as
Is forced upon him by an honest con-
ception OF the law OF the land. Down
here the people may as well make up
their minds that we are TO have four
more years OF Republican administra-
ton. That with an executive and
both legislative branches entirely or
overwhelmingly Republican full re-
sponsibility OF government rests upon
that party. Democrats can only pre-
serve a dignifed course By standing

protests against all measures which

JUDGE sPEER.s ADDRESS.

Judge Emory Speer's address yester-
day to the federal court grand jury,
which we print elsewhere this morn-.
ing, is a mastery and eloquent effort
that merits the close reading and
earnest thought OF all our citizens. 1t
is greatly to be regretted that it was
possible for only comparatively few
persons to hear it delivered. Spoken
words, when delivered by a master of
the language and of infection, al
ways sink deeper into the mind than
words that are printed. There is loss
Of energy and appeal, inevitably, when
any speech, no matter how vigorous
and convincing, is put into cold type.
Nevertheless. Judge Speer's address,
even in type and wanting the charm
OF the orators presence and voice, is
one to be read with pleasure and
profit. Its keynote is the duty of cit
izenship and the majesty of the law,
and through it there runs a vein of
pride of section and Of our civiliza-
iton. Texts for a dozen sermons on
patriotism, duty, character, conserva-
tism, respect for authority, etc, are
compressed into the short space of a
court charge. The comparisons
drawn by Judge Speer between certain
cities Of Europe and America in the
matter Of the commission and punish
ment Of crimes of violence are espe-
cially striking. His remarks on
lynching and the race problem show
careful thought and right reasoning.
His appeal for the revival and survl-
val of a reign Of law will find an echo
in the bosom Of every man who loves
his state. and its institutions establish
ed for liberty, Justice and safety.
