NOVEL SHOWING THE CONNER
ClAL GAME AS PLAYED BY MODERN
RULES.-"Yes, life was for the strong,
all there was in it! / saw it SO then,
and I have lived it so all my life." In
those words of the story's central figure
IS the key to Robert Herrick's latest
novel, The Memoirs Of an American cIti-
zen. Life is for the strong who play the
game according to the rules in vogue at
the time they live, and 1t is picture OF
such a game that Mr.. Herrick gives.
Edward v. Harrington, green boy
from Indiana, drifts to Chicago to make
his own way in the world Chicago's
greeting to the youth is not a kindly one,
but the boy gets place in meat shop
and goes to work. Soon he is working for
a packing company, packing companies
at the time being small but ambitious.
He takes a flyer in pork and makes
$4,000. This he invests In small plant
IN an adjacent town and ION the side''
begins trade in special brands Of meats.
The business prospers, and soon one of
the big houses, rival Of the one he
works for, is after his plant He sells
out for $4,000, but retains an advanced
position with the house for which he had
once been a driver, and later becomes a
partner Then begins a battle with the
big rival-for complete control Of the
meat trade on the big rivals part, for
commercial life on Harrington's part.
Personally Harrington is honest. He
boasts: There's no man and no woman
living has the right to say he's the worse
off on my account But commercially
he does not hesitate to corrupt a judge
or buy legislature.

WOMAN AND HJMoR,-A

WOMAN AND HUMOR.-A party of
men, among whom was Colonel William
Jennings Bryan were one night waiting
for train in depot hotel in a small
Missouri town, says H. T. Dobbins IN
November Llpplncotts. The landlady was
the only woman present.
The talk turning upon the alleged in
ability Of women to see the point of
joke as readily as do the men, Mr. Bryan
took the ground that a sense of humor
was as much part Of the feminine
makeup as it was that Of man, but thar
1t merely lacked opportunity for develop
ment.
ITO illustrate" said he, take the story
Of party Of excursionists in the Aegean
sea. When approaching the Grecian
coast the party assembled about the rail
to enjoy the beautiful scenery. One lady
turned inquiring1y to gentleman at her
right and said
What is that white off there on the
horizon?'
THAT is the snow on the mountains,
replied the gentleman addressed.
We'll, that's funny she replied. My
husband said it was grease .
All Of the men in the group laughed
noisily at Mr.. Bryan's story, but the
landlady looked puzzled. Finally she
said
But, Mr.. Bryan, how did the grease
get on the mountain
Mr. Bryan at once dropped the defense
of women as born humorists.

Russia's Latest Trials.

The internal condition of Russia is
obscurely an outcome Of the war. The
revolutionary spirit which shot across
the country while the armies in Man
churia were being driven back from
every fight and the navies of the ear
were going to the bottom as fast as
guns could send them was no doubt dis
appointed in the fact Of peace being
made. NJ. Witte pot ahead of the prop
agandists of revolution with his hon
orable peace. The people of Russia
saw their hopes set back years and
saw enthroned again an autocracy with
an intelligent mouthpiece. The revo-
lutionists do not want M. Witte at the
head Of responsible cabinet. He is
not their man. He is moderate, but
is susceptible to court influences. The
fact that his wife has been received by
the empress is said to have done more
to bring M. Witte in line with the
czar's program than anything else
Nicholas could have DONE Therefore
the Gorkys and the. rest do not trust

The strike among the railroad men,
it will be observed. is not an industrial

what to do with such strike. What
they understand is that they have quit

The President on Lynch Law,

The president at Little Rock dealt
that inveterate nuisance Governor jeff
Davis a blow which squelched him and
which caused every decent man to
throw up his hat anew for the president.
Davis introduced into his speech a de-
Tense and an apology for lynching, ex-
patiating on the horrible character Of
the crimes of which lynching is made
the punishment. The president lost no
time in rebuking the governor, saying:
"To avenge one hideous crime by an
other is to reduce the avenger to the
bestial level. Another thing which
makes lynch law so abhorrent is that
three-fourths of the crimes for which it
is invoked are others than those against
the women Of the country Governor,
you and I and all others in authority
owe to our people to drive out the re-
proach and the menace Of lynch law in
the United States. ''-@51 ~ $Js5&3s,z.Zs q
The president stated the exact situa-
ton as regards lynching men in the
south. The pretense that negroes are
burned, tortured or hung for c1imes
against women is only a pretense now.
Negroes are desperately dealt with fol
crimes which call for no wild outburst
Of race passion. The yearning to over
awe the negro and "put him down" is
extending, with the result that white
men lend themselves to the terrorism OF
lynching without provocation. It is the
spirit Of the XII Klux gangs over
again. -

to show their sympathy with rcvolu-
tion. What M. White is expected to
quell is not strike for wages but q
strike for freedom. AS courier Of the
czar called to the head Of Q responsible
state, and supposedly in favor Of free
dom Of speech and freedom Of the press,
his first duty will be to shut off free
dom Of action by bayonets and bullets.
The Job will not be to the new count IS
liking. White is essentially a granger
statesman. He comprehends industrial
progress and agricultural development.
He is bold in borrowing money, but he
wants it to develop assets which go
toward paying back the loans. He will
find it q discouraging task to borrow
capital to be expended in putting down
rebellion. But nobody knows better
than he that there can be no progress
in Russia until either the car is de-
throned or the people become again
loyal to him.
