the first stroke.
It is known that fortune herself is
more easily won by smile than by a
frown. Let all approach her with a
laugh and an .infallible belief in the
eventual working of all things TO-
gether for good. and her favor will be
won far more often than those who
seek her with frown and abuse her
for hard-hearted jade. 1t really is
all matter of habit If we make it
practice to look on the bright side
|yof things and are quite blind TO the
black side, we find it easy to have a
cheerful and peaceful expression. All
we want is little self-training and
mental enlightenment when We are af-
ficted with depression.
1t is just as easv to face the world
and its people with smile as with a
frown. By smiles no complacent and
no perpetual simper need be meant, but

There was time when the un
washed Democracy delighted in de-
scribing the President as spectacu
lar performer on the flying trapeze
who was always on dress parade, and
who would delight in plunging the
Nation into useless war. But just at
the time when they had as they sup
posed made an unansWerable demon
stration of that proposition, the Pres
ident pulverizes all their flapdoodle
by stepping in between the parties
contending in Asia, and, thereby at
tanning the unattainable. The zone
gallus fellers' may now join in sing
ing the following lines:
But soon a wonder came to light,
That showed the rogues they led

"That story about Ed Butcher, the
noted old Iowa racehorse man, re-
minds me of a tale the boys used to
tell of Butcher" said Morris Lynch
recently to the Des Moines Register
and Leader. Butcher was a good fel-
low, as the men who follow the races
go. His family was religious. One
time Butcher got sick, very sick, In
fact. His wife, fearing the end, sent
for minister Butcher talked to the
minister, who urged him that he
should not stay away from his God.
The road to salvation was not very
plain to Butcher. He questioned the
minister closely about what he
thought would happen if he should re-
form just prior to his death. The min
lister told him he would be saved.
"'Will 1 have wings just like the
picture angels?' asked Butcher.
"'You most certainly WILL replied
the minister.
"'Well, then, I just bet you SIS l
can beat you flying when you meet
me in heaven .retc-ted Butcher, his
eye lighting up with the accustomed
flash.

Butcher recovered and followed the
races for many years afterWard.

CALLING A HALT.

For stoliI and stupid Indulgence
Of race prejudice. the Caucasian Of the
United States is the most unreasoning
and unreasonable biped that struts
upon the face Of the earth. He re-
CARDS it as one OF his inalienahle
rights to deorade and Jim Grow and
defraud and lynch the man of differ
ent color at his pleasure, provided. al
ways, that the victim aforesaid is de-
fenseless. So, our Caucasian broth
ers having duly satisfied himself that
the Chinaman was substantially de-
fenseless, has for several years, been
going for that heather Chinee.'
BY law and without law, he has
taught the hapless Asiatic that Jordan
is a hard road to travel. That emf
nent statesman, Dennis Kearney, at
tanned great distinction as the high
priest of the cult of marrying the Chi
nee Sanctimonious divines seeking
new Jobs or trying to hold old ones,
proved that when St. Paul asserted
that God made of one blood all ma
tons Of the earth, he was running for
the Office of treasurer and seeking to
capture the votes of the hill-billies
like Jeff Davis and Vardaman. And
all went merry as marriage bell up
to date, but within short time the
discovery has been made that the
heather Chinee is not defenseless:
and therefore not fit subject for
American processes. He is perhaps
the largest consumer of certain class
es of American products; and more
over it is becoming evident that John
knows how to handle his defensive
weapons and proposes to do that very
thing.
The heather Chinee will boycott
American goods and any merchant
caught handling them will be heavily
fined
1t is evident that the Chinee has dis
covered that the heel of the American
Achilles has not been dipped in the
river Styx; that he can listen with
great consideration to an argument in
reference to dimes and dollars and
dollars and dimes. He certainly has
learned from Mosea Bigelow, that
'Taint a KNOWN kind Of cattle.
That is ketched with mouldy corn
So the alarm has been given-the
tocsin has been sounded; and the
fuzzy-guzzy will be brought into requi-
sitiCn in due time. The leading pa
pers ali over the country have taken
up the matter and demand that de-
cent treatment shall be given the
Chinese. There is no sentiment about
the matter, no question Of humanity:
the considerations are all material,
but the press is very much in earnest
for the great American pocket book
has been touched.
The penalty which our white broth
er has to pay fer the luxury of MAX
ing the Chinaman wish that he had
never been born, is the shutting down
of the New England mills and fac
tories, and the making of the South
ern cotton bales drug On the mar
