and property to meet his own ends
without any one daring to make
a protest.
Since the massacre in the streets
of st. Petersburg, combined with
the tyranny and oppression in
unhappy Finland, the massacres
in Poland and elsewhere, will make
the people attempt to break the
rule of absolute despotism and
call the government to account for
all the years of misery and slavery
they have suffered. It is certain
ly the hope and prayer of mankind
at large that the car and his
government should listen to the
plea of his subjects. It is within
his power to grant his people life,
liberty, and happiness, with a
voice in their own government,
and so avoid the horrors of a revo-
luton.
If accounts are true, affairs in
Russia today are somewhat SINH
lar to the French Revolution.
The circumstances are the same.
The people will lose all confidence
in a ruler who causes his own SUBJ
jects to be massacred in the
streets of his capital city, whose
only plea is the right to life and
liberty. We hope they may see
the day their chains will be bro
ken forever. 1t would, perhaps,
be voicing the Russian nation
itself, as we'll as the civilized world
at large, if the car is forced to
fee from St. Petersburg on one
of his own war vessels. BEARD.

The Revolt In Russia.

The greatest interest is being
taken by the reading public of
this country, as we'll as the whole
world at large, in the struggle
going on within the domains of
the car for the sake of freedom.
The masses have been virtually
slaves for centuries; they have
been ruled by tyranny and oppres-
sion so long that it seems hardly
credible by us. It is understood
that the majority Of the people
are rather ignorant, but in this age
of enlightenment they certainly
know and understand what it is to
be ruled by man who knows no
law and will but his own.
1t is hard matter for the peo-
pie to depose their ruler, as he
controls the army. The Russians
are prohibited from the use and
possession of fire arms. With the
army against them a vast number
of people will be slain before a
successful revolt can be accom-
plished. But now seems the &C.
cepted time. Her army in
Manchuria is beaten back and
Inundated; her feet lies beneath
the waves; the great fortress OF
Port Arthur captured-that alone
ought to encourage the masses to
demand their freedom. It seems
preposterous that one mans will
is the law of the largest country
of the globe, who can plunge his
nation into war; take life. liberty

The Herer0S.

Along the coast of West Africa
are situated various German colo
MES which are, at this moment, the
object of much attention and are
causing the German Emperor, as
we'll as the army, much anxiety.
For twenty years or more the
Germans have been in possession
of these lands, but not until lately
have the natives been causing
trouble. More than a thousand
gallant soldiers have sacrificed
their lives and untold numbers of
black men have fallen in the field.
The Hereros, tribe in the back
regions of Africa, have rebelled.
According to a memorial address of
the German chancellor, no reason
can be found why the black men
should rise against their German
benefactors. Through the iron
hand of their oppressors, the
Germans. the Hereros we're gov
erned against their own free will
or consent. A foreign nation has
many different ways to bring
ignorant tribes under their shell

Hereafter, for the murmur of the sea,
The cool salt air across some grassy lea?

OF stately streets with glittering gems ablaze,
Forlorn amid the pearl and ivory,
Straining our eyes beyond the bourne to see
Phantoms from our life's dear forsaken ways?

Our flowers to pluck, our broken songs to sing
Our fairy gold of evening in the West;
Still to the land we love our longing cling,
The sweet, vain world of turmoil and unrest.

Rube on Dreams.

MI. EOutOT:
Dear Sur: Well Sur, Mr.. Scribe,
the wheels in that clock work at
tachment of mine haint been run
min very gull durn fast of late.
May bee it's the cold wether and
the oil has stuck the works up, or
else the water tank has frozen.
I'm inclined to think that it must
be the oil, cause if that water had
froze up the hull apparatus wood
have busted up in general. You
no I have felt skert at times for
fear that that oil and water wood
clog things during the cold spell,
and the worst of it is l haint got
no insurance and [ wont have any,
thing to do with plummer. You
no when a machine runs for a
blame long time it gets week in
places, and [ guess that is jest
what is troublin' the machine. [
suppose I'm a darn phool for
worryin' over such small things
as that, cause it bin that way for
twenty years or more. L use to
think that the trouble was rust,
and I use to sit up mites just to
keep the bloomin' thing runnin' !,
but after I quit grain on the
farm and started lumber jackin' I
came to the conclusion that things
went faster at mite than they did
in day time.
You talk bout dreamin', why
I've been everythin' from paddles
pig to the combination on Car
neggies safe. Yes I have. I've
been a milionair a dozen times
and wake up in the mornin' busted.
Now small things like that never
worry me, cause I am use to it.
My fortune always comes and goes
in the mite. Yes it does. It's
like the complexion of a June
bride at the age of fourty-too. It
comes and goes, but is gone darn
sight longer than it comes.
A Teller does sum pretty smart
things in his dreams, and maybee
that is the reason why sum chaps
are dreamin' all the time. I sup
pose it's a mighty good way to

Success.

To you success is dear, and 1
Am hoping on and striving, too;
Perhaps the aim you have is high,
And God may prosper what you do.
See over there is one who stands
PrOud-faced, from other men apart,
And there are jewels on his hands,
And Joy, perhaps. is in his heart.
That he might heap up worldly stores
A hundred men and women died;
Great wealth is his, but at his doors,
Love has been rudely thrust aside.
And men behold him where he goes.
Him unto whom mems lives are less
Than money is, and still suppose
That he has mounted to success.

would be. Not knowing what
value they received they paid ex-
orbitant prices for everything.
For gun they were taxed from
thirty to forty head of cattle, and
for yard of calico they laid down
a hundred cocoanuts. If they had
nothing to pay with, they accepted
credit, and scheming traders soon
owned everything in sight.
Another calamity awaited en-
trance into Hereroland. Drink
entered into their country and
completely conquered everything
in sight. Mining concessions
went for a song, and an acre of
land would be exchanged for a
barrel of rum. Traders had every
thing their own way and at will
elected the tribes from their pos
sessions. Can we wonder, then,
how cause sprung up to use as
reason for instruction? The
Hereros have for ages been a
peace-loving and quiet tribe; they
looked with disgust upon the
state of affairs, and much oratory
was not needed to bring them to
their senses. They awoke out of
their dream and declared war
The Hereros were forbidden to
barter away any more concessions
without the consent of the imperial
agent. No more authority was
left to the black man and forth
with he was owned and controlled
by the invading Germans. An
army occupied their country.
Their own brothers we're dressed
in Prussian uniforms and German
corporals were sent to drill them
SO they could do their duty to
their adopted fatherland.
Put gun in one hand and
bottle of rum in the other what
else could be looked for but dis
satisfaction Of course Germany
forbid the importation of guns.
Being in alliance with England
the frontiers we're closely watched,
but the smugglers came in unseen
and provided the black men with
guns and everything else needed
to make successful attempt to re-
gain their lost liberty. The up
rising is of very serious nature.
The black man is treacherous, and
as the Germans have little expert
ence in African jungles, they are
outwitted. Still, according to
said memorial address, no cause
can be found. Transferring their
lands into white hands; the mis-
fortune of the small cattle owners;
the ever increasing debts caused
by unjust taxation; the shameful
dealings of the traders, are these
no causes for an instruction?
Civilization and rum travel togeth-
or but the Hereros do not seem to
appreciate the association of the
two. Indeed the way to an up-to-
date existence will be taught by
the iron hand of the German
Michel.
In a letter to a high standing
German official, Samuel Mahahero
says: cit is my wish that our
weak nation of Africa may rise
against the Germans. Let them
wipe US off the earth, it is better
for u.s." In another letter written
to a captain of the navy he says:
"Never touch an African or an
EngIishman." 1868.

THE CASTLE OF CONTENT

| is but a cot, with walls and poor,
Yet Life and dwell here in converse best
Love gds the daily tasks, and evenings close
Brings the sweet blessing of peaceful rest
The miser wakes to count his shining store,
The statesman ponders on the morrows schemes;
Here in this dwelling which is called Content,
There cares with train of evil dreams
Nor have treasure here to guard this
A jewel rare, that my heart keep
A peaceful conscience and the love of God,
Each night [ clasp it in my hand and sleep.
And TO- each morn, by strange change there lies
Within my palm gift my life to bless
A priceless gem of pure unclouded ray,
Unsought, unbought, the pearl of Happiness.

development where clothes become

As near as [ can remember, how
ever, her dress was, or had been, a
blue and white bingham check.
She was barefoot, brown as a berry,
with shining black hair that hung
in an uncombed mass about her
face, and she had ivory white teeth
that showed themselves upon the

Nancy-for that was her name

good Samaritan from an untimely
death in the little stream that cut
our town in half; and in due time,

the top of high board fence that
surrounded the washing emporium
and renovatory conducted by her

perhaps little more than half,
and dropped it down to me.
After that the conversation pro.

dotlng aunt, alarmed at my un-
usual quiet, started search for
me at home and my absence was
discovered. The neighbors were
aroused and led by my distracted
family, began to trace me in my
wanderings. 1t was my aunt who
finally captured me as | stood
talking to my dusky charmer and
with an insistence not to be de-

the paternal roof.
And then came the final cruel
blow. During the whole of my

loud protests against that journey,
