Miss Mar Richmond of the Philadelphia Society for
Organizing Charity recently said:
AS an English gentleman was walking down a quiet
street he heard a raucous voice say:
Charity! For the love of Heaven, charity!
The gentleman, a true philanthropist, turned and
saw a thin and ragged figure at whose breast hung a
card saying: 4 am blind, The gentleman took a coin
from his pocket and dropped it into the blind beggar's
cup.
But the coin was dropped from too great a height
and il bounded out again, It fell and rolled along the
pavement, the beggar in pursuit. Finally n lodged i'm
the gutter, whence the blind man fished It out.
The gentleman said in a stern voice:
"'Confound you, you are no more blind than am.
The beggar at these words looked at the placard
on his breast, and gave a start Of surprise.
Right you are, boss, he said. Blamed if they
haven't put the wrong card on me. Pm deaf and dumb ''

SOME STORIES WISE
AND SOME OTHERWISE

This interesting list of standing offers of big prizes
offered for achieveing certain results by governments
and responsible individuals or corporations is not com
plete, as it does not include the offer of certain Califor-
mia wine interests of $4,000 to the person who shall
solve the problem of producing tartaric acid (argols)
directly from the grape.
Among the many varieties of cactus there is one
which is known as the prickly pear. The plant came or
iginally from America, but in Queensland is spread to
such an extent that in some districts it has practically
destroyed all other vegetation. The Queensland govern
ment is still offering a reward of $4,000 for a method by
which it can be completely eradicated.
In order to encourage local industrial enterprise the
municipality of Catania offers 100000 to the individual
who establishes some new industry in the town; this
trade is to be of such a nature that it will employ not
fewer than 100 workmen; a further $4,000 will be paid
for every additional fifty hands that are afterward en-
ployed.
Two thousand five hundred dollars is to be obtained
from the government of Holland. As most people are
aware, the Dutch are the most expert diamond cutters
in the world, but in this diamond cutting it is necessary
to use an alloy which is dangerous to health. Is it possi
ebl to find a method of doing without the aid of this al
10y?
One of the biggest prizes offered at the present time
is for no less a sum than $4,000. This is being offered
by the Russian imperial ministry of finance, and the last
date for claiming it is July l next. The subject of the
competition, however, is of a technical nature, for what
the Russian minister wants is a good and reliable ss
tenn of denaturing alcohol.
Mr.. woodbury., a well known American philanthro
pist resident of New York, offers $1,000 to any married
man who can convince a jury of twelve matrons thai
there is in that city a single specimen of a perfectly
happy married man. Mr.. Wodburys contention is thai
bachelors and spinsters form the happiest section of the
community; he urges nothing against marriage in gen
eral, and says that his arguments refer only to the con
ditions of life in New York. Mr.. Kerr, who takes the
side of the married man, and MI. Woodbury. himself will
act as counsel, while a committee of single men will ACT
as judges.
Women can gain a prize of s., 1000 which is being of
fered by the Womens Institute of Science at Naples; IL
is to be given for the best work on any subject of scienli
fic research, but it must be based on Independent libora
tory experiments.

PERSONAL ASPECT OF CONTROVERSY.

The Red River Prospector, published in Taos county,
recently grew wroth, and let it be known through it's
widely extended circulation, because joint statehood lit
erature was being sent to Taos county. AS this did not
cost the Prospector anything, the ground of his indigna-
ton that the literature had been sent, may seem difficult
of analysis to the uniformed.
No doubt the personal nslnuations against the char
acter of those who favor joint statehood, in which the
Prospector and its congeners SO freely engage, is easily
attributable to the fact that in the absence of every
thing like argument against jointure there is nothing
left for the rank and file but to follow the leader through
the dubious depths of very coarse personal insinuation.
II may also be said, in passing, that in the matter of
right to their own opinion, in ability to form and express
that opinion, and in personal rectitude of character, the
members of the Joint Statehood League can suffer no
such statehood.
1t is also doubtless true that the angry Indignation of
the Prospector over the sending of joint statehood litera-
ture to those who ought to know both sides of the ques-
ton, has much the same origin as the declaration in the
Arizona convention that the bill for jointure must be
killed in congress and thus be prevented from reaching
the people for action. There may be a feeling among
those who so bitterly oppose the presentation to the
people OF arguments for jointure, that those arguments
cannot be withstood by absurd insinuations and worth
less assertions.

emily, some other cause for the zeal the postmaster dis
plays. Does Job serve God for naught?"

HIGH A METHOD.

Here is the way an exchange looks at the position of
Vice-President Perkins of the New York Life Insurance
Company, who is also a partner of ]. p. Morgan:
December 81, 1903, the insurance company had on
hand 100000 worth of International Merchant Marine
stOck-too much of the kind. The officers of the com
pany did not want to report the fact either to the state
commissioner of insurance or the policy holders. The re
port must be made as Of December 81. What should be
done?
Here is where Mr.. Perkins played his dual role. As
DIR. Jekyl, on December 81, 1903, he sold the 100000
of the stock TO his firm, Morgan & Co. On the next
business day, January 2, 1904, as Mr.. Hyde, he sold the
100000 back to his insurance company. The insurance
company made up its annual report in the interval. show
ing that 1t had but $3,2O0OO Of the Merchant Marine
stock. That is to say, Mr.. Perkins helped his insurance
company to deliberately lie as to It's assets in a report
sOlemnly attested TO as correct in every particular.
'On the statute books of the state of New York is a
law which provides a years punishment and a fine of
$500 for falsifying the books of a corporation. Is there
any doubt about Mr.. Perkins action? He confessed il
on the witness stand last week, during the sessions of
the legislative investigating committee.
VIII Mr.. Perkins be sent to Sing Sing for his viola
ton of plain law? Nobody believes he will be. What
is one of the things that is the matter with this coun
try?"

EVIL POWER OF THE PRESS.

The Worlds Work recently quoted, with approval
from a correspondent, these words:
Eyes, all these wretched creatures must be punished
-scoundrels in the senate and in Wall street, as well as
political and social thugs; but why do we have police
men and prosecuting attorneys and grand juries and
courts but to do this work for society in an orderly way?
For the love OF doceucy, leave me and my family in
ignorance of the details. am only a quiet citizen,
earning a living for my family by an honest occupation
and trying to rear my children in a normal way. l do not
care for them to read half the magazines nor to hear
half the sermons that are offered on week days or on
Sundays. | pray you, punish the scoundrels-thats what
l pay my taxes for; but let me lead a quiet life, and hear
and think of things that put living on a higher level and
do not pull it down"
There is a great deal of truth in what this CORE
spondent says. There cannot be doubt that much which
appears in current periodicals, from the daily to the
monthly, is unfit for reception into the family circle
in fact, is as fully harmful to the young as is the nickel
novel of such unsavory repute. We may say what we
please about the necessity of publicity to prevent crime.
Its efficiency is of doubtful certainty. That crime has
been reduced in frequency or enormity since the advent
of yellow journalism, will scarcely be contended by any.
That, on the other hand, it has been materially increased,
is believed by many.
Two things are of such i~ndubitable certainty that
they may be asserted fifth absolute confidence. One is
that prurient imagination grows by that which it feeds
upon. The demand for yellow journalism is now almost
irresistible, though that system of bill poster head lines,
extravagant assertions, sacrifice of truth to sensation,
and incessant raking of every possible moral garbage
heap, was introduced but a few years ago. Like the mar
cotic or liquor habit, much of the journalism of today
weakens the mind, corrupts the morals, and demands
repetitions of Itself in doses of increasing strength and
frequency. Why make degenerates of our sons and
daughters by the deadly moral food they are permitted
daily to consume in their own homes from the purveyors
of an untrammeled press. and then send them to re-
formatories and houses of correction to recover from
their ruin?
The other fact is that evil thoughts must precede
evil deeds. Many of us on this ground watch our child
rem and keep them from the contamination of improper
company, while at the same time let them battle their
moral nature in the sewage of every possible crime of
which the press of today makes itself the distributing
system. But then, it is easier to see the evil than to find
the remedy.

MRS, j, PORTER JONES GOES TO

H AMERICAN ROYAL LIVE STOCK SHOW

Everything indicates that the seventh annual Amer
lean Royal Live Stock Show, to be held at the stock
yards, Kansas City, Mo, October GA, will be the great
est exhibit Of p]urebred cattle and draft and coach horses
ever held in this country. The entries received so far
show an increase in every department over last year.
There will be upwards Of 700 pure bred cattle of the
beef breeds and 200 to 300 draft and coach horses. There
will also be around 100 car loads Of fat and feeding
cattle. An especially attractive feature will be the dis
play of draft horses I'm harness, including several four
and six horse teams Of ]purebred geldings. Attractive
programs have been arranged for Tuesday and Thursday
nights. Low rates have been made on all railroads.
John d. Rockefeller Is reported as saying he believes
that 1878 will see a great panic iu this country. result
ing from over production In all lines. Possibly this may
be the reason why John d. has raised the price on oil
and gasoline. Anyway, he predicts that a vast army of
working men will be thrown out Of employment. and he
favors government inauguration Of public road building
for the purpose Of employing the unimployed. This IS
the first i%ntimation, as far as known, that the oil king
was aware that laborers exist in this country; and the
proposition Of his is a distinct step toward socialism.

A loafer on the street, whose wife was probably at
home getting out 2 neighbours washing to make money
to buy the children shoes. asked a busy man the other
day If he ever saw a bald-headed woman.
No, | never did replied the man. And / never
saw a woman Waiting aroung town in her shirt sleeves
with a cigar in her teeth and running into every saloon
she saw. Neither did | ever see a woman sitting all day
at the street on a dry goods box telling people how the
secretary of the treasury should run the national fin
ances. l never saw a woman go fishing with a bottle in
her pocket, sit on the bank all day and go home drunk at
night. Nor have l ever saw a woman yank off her coat
and say she could lick any man in town. God bless EN-,
the women are not built that way.-Kansas City Journal
