human slavery IN the south known a.
the peonage system.
Mr.. Moody has won the first battle in
his campaign, but there are many more
to be fought. The peonage system, 1t Is
believed, keeps hundreds of men in actu-
al serfdom, and the attorney general il
trying to uproot the evil, and has his Of
ficials at work securing evidence against
those who play the part of slave owners
in number of states. The victims or
this peonage system are not all colored
men, although majority are. In re-
cent statement made to the department
of justice by one of its agents, white
men are shown to be the slaves.
This case came to light in South Caro-
lima, and the men were Italians. They
had been engaged in New York, but
when they arrived in South Carolina
they discovered they were to work in q
phosphate mine. They refused to do so.
but the master said they could not aban-
don the work, as they owed for their
transportation, and must work out that
debt. Guards were stationed over them,
and in the face of weapons they were
compelled to work out this alleged debt.
One of the men escaped and made known
the terrible condition of his comrades,
which led to the interference of the

CAMPING IN THE ROCKIES.
Delights of the Evening Around the
Fire Described by an
Enthusiast.

About dusk you struggle in with trout
or game. The campkeeper lays aside
his mending or his repairing or his note
book and stirs up the cooking fire. The
smell of broiling and frying and boiling
arises in the air. BY the dancing flames
of the campfire you eat your third dinner
for the day-in the mountains all meals
are dinners, and formidable ones at that,
writes S. E. White, in THE Mountains. =
The curtain of blackness draws down
close. Through it shine stars, loom
mountains cold and mistlike in the
moon You tell stories. You smoke
pipes. After time the pleasant chill
creeps down from the eternal SHOWS.
Some one throws another handful of
pine cones on the fire. Sleepily you pre-
pare for bed. The pine cones flare I'D.
throwing their light in your eyes. You
turn over and wrap the soft wooden
blanket close about your chin. You
wink drowsily and at once you are
asleep.
Late in the night you awaken to find
your nose as cold as dogs. You opel
one eye. A few Goals mark where the
fire has been. The mist mountains have
drawn nearer, they seem to bend over
you in silent contemplation. The moon
is sailing high in the heavens. With a
sigh you draw the canvas trapaulin over
your head. Instantly it is morning.

Cairo, Egypt-My Dear Old Irish
Vegetable: Gee, but you ought to see dad
and right now, at hotel, waiting for
q chance at a room, when bride and
groom get ready to Vacate it, and go
somewhere else. This hotel is full OF
married people who look scared when
ever there is new arrival, and came
pretty near creating a panic by going
into the parlor of the hotel, where
dozen couples were sitting around maxi
ing goo-goo eyes at each other, and get
ting behind a screen and, in disguised
voice, shouting, Il know all! Prepare
to defend YOURSELF"
The women turned pale and some said,
"At lastI At last!" while others got
faint in the head, and some fell on the
bosoms of their husbands and said:
Don't shoot" You see, most of these
wives had husbands somewhere else,
that might be looking for them. | have
warned dad not to be seen conversing
with woman, or he may be shot by

husband she has with her.

occupy the entire square lying southeast
of and diagonally from the capitol.
When completed, it will be three stories
in height and will contain 436 offices,
which are to be forever dedicated to the
use of members of the house of repre-
sentatives.
The building is to be classic in style
and ornamented with "a columns, in
pairs. The main rotunda will be elab-
orately decorated in bronze, marble and
decorative plaster, and its splendid eff
fects will be heightened by monumen-
tai staircase. The interior arrange
ments will make it an ideal workshop
for the members of the house. There is
to be caucus, or assembly, hall 81 by
81 feet, to be used by the party organi-
cations of the house. Then there will be
a dining hall on the second floor, which
will be one OF the finest rooms of it's
kind in the country, and will be great
improvement over the stuffy, ill-sr1ell-
Ing rooms that are now used in the base
ment at the capitol. The kitchen for
this restaurant will be located in the at

mosphere of the building will not be bur-
dened with the odors of cooking.
The building is to be equipped with
barber shop, bathrooms and everything
necessary to the comfort and convent
ence of the members. 1t is in this build
ing that the members expect to receive
their many callers and conduct their cor
respondence. They expect to be relieved
from the opportunities of callers who
have heretofore besieged the doors in the
corridors about the hall of representa-
tives. Hereafter, the visitors will be
referred to the congressman's quarters
in the Office building. There will be
telephone switchboard giving connec-
ton with every Office, and a post Office
in the basement, at which the members
will receive their mail at least an hour
earlier than at the present time. This
magnificent building will be a monu-
ment to Uncle Joe'' Cannon, who con-
ceived the idea of such a structure and
who was mainly instrumental in having

move foot, and all the rest of the cam
els stopped, closed their eyes and went
to sleep, and the Arabs went to sleep,
and dad and the jackass and were ap-
parently the only animals in Egypt that
were awake.
Dad kicked his camel in the ribs, but it
wouldn't bulge. He asked me if
couldn't think up some way to start the
procession, and I stopped my jackass
and thought minute, and told dad
had it. I had bought some giant lire
crackers and roman candles at Cairo,
with which was going to fire salute
on top of the biggest pyramid, to cele-
brate for old America, and l told dad
what I had got, and thought if / got
off my jackass and fired salute there
in the desert it would wake them up.
Dad said "all right, let er go, but do it
sort of easy, at first, SO not to overdo it, :"
and l got my artillery ready. Say, you
can't fire off fireworks easy, you got to
touch match to 'em, and dodge, and
take your chances. Well, I scratched
match and lit the giant fire cracker,
and put it under the hind legs of dads
camel, and when it got to fixing lit my
roman candle, and as the fire cracker ex-
ploded like 16-inch gun, my roman
candle began to spout balls of fire, and
| aimed one at each camel and the
whole push started on stampede for
the pyramids, the camels grooming, the
Arabs praying to Allah, dad yelling to
stop 'er, and my jackass led the bunch,
and was left in the desert to pick up
the hats.
I guess I will have to tell you the rest
of the tragedy in my next letter

might be adopted in the army. These
stoves are in use in German households,
and are guaranteed to save worry, work
and fuel, and never to scorch the food.
They never blacken the pots and do
away with all Objectionable odors.
According to Mr.. Murphy's de-
scription these stoves or "hay boxes"
are merely air-tigLt chests lined with
felt or paper and packed with hay
or straw. The close fitting lid is COW
cred with a cushion OF some sort to
exclude the air An old trunk or
even a large valise may be pressed
into service for "hay box" The
process of using is even simpler than
that of construction. The vegetables
or meats are started cooking in the
ordinary way over fire, and then
transferred in the pot to the box, care
being taken that the lid of the cook
ing utensil is not removed while the
change is made.
I'm general" says Mr.. Murphy, "tt
will be found that two or three min
utes of actual boiling on the fire is
amply sufficient for vegetables, while
roasted meat requires 20 to 80 min
utes. Most articles should remain
tightly closed in the box for two or
three hours, although they can be Left
there to keep hot for ten or II hours,
if necessary. Rice, dried beans, lem
ills, dried fruit, ETC., should first be
well soaked in cold water. After be-
ing allowed to boil for some two to
five minutes, one or two hours in the
box will prepare them thoroughly for
the table. Cauliflower and other soft
vegetables should merely be brought
to boil and then placed for an hour
or two in the box Compared to the
old way of cooking the saving of fuel
by the use of the "hay box" is very
apparent. 1t cooks while you sleep.

they are only negroes. little bleached,
with red paint on their cheeks. If was
going to marry an Egyptian woman,
would take her to Norway, or up to-
wards the north pole, where it is night
all day, and you wouldn't realize that
you were married to colored woman.
To be around among these Egyptians is
a good deal like having pass behind
the scenes at the play of Ben Hur in New
York, only here the dark and dangerous
women are the real thing, instead of
being white girls with black paint on.
We have just got back from the pyra
mids, and dad is being treated for spinal
meningitis, on account of riding a camel.
| never tried harder to get dad to go
anywhere on the cars than | did to get
him to go to the pyramids by rail, as a
millionaire should, but he said he was
going to break a camel to the saddle,
and then buy him and take him home
for a side show. So we went down to
the camel garage, and hired camel for
dad, and four camelS for the arabs and
things he wanted for an escort, and a
jackass for me. There were automobiles
and carriages, and trolleys, and every
thing that we could have hired, and
been comfortable for the ten-mile ride,
but dad was mashed on the camel, and
he got it.
Well, sir, it was not one of these
worlds fair camels that lay down for
you to get on, and then got up on the
installment plan, and chuck you for
ward and aft, but a proud Egyptian
camel that stands UP straight and
makes you climb up on a stepladder.
Dad got along up the camels ribs,
when the stepladder fell and he grabbed
hold of the hair on the two humps, and
the humps were loose and they Topped
over on the side, and it must have hurt
the camel's feelings to have his humps
pulled down, so he reached around his
head and took a mouthful out of the seat
of dads pants, and dad yelled to the
camel to let go. and the Arabs amputat-
ed the camel from dads trousers, and
pushed dad UP on top with a bamboo
pole with crotch in it, and when dad
got settled between the humps he said
Let 'er 60" and we started.
Dad could have had camel with a
platform on top, and an awning, but he
insisted on taking his camel raw, and
he sat there between those humps, his
trousers worked up towards his knees,
showing his red socks and blue drawers
and his face got pale from sea sickness,
and the red white and blue colors made
me think of fourth of July at home.
We went out of town like wild west
show, and dad seemed happy, except
that every time an automobile went
whizzing along, dads camel got the
jumps and waltzed sideways, out into
the sandy desert, and chewed at dads
socks, so part of the time dad had to
draw up his legs and sit on one hump.
and put his shoes on the other hump.
The Arabs on the other camels would
ride up alongside and steer dads camel
back into the road, by sticking sharp
sticks into the camel and the animal
would yawn and groan and make UP

distribution throughout the country.
Mr.. Chester X. Greene, superintendent
of the ponds, is doing his best to check
this race suicide among the bass. In
talking about the cannibalistic tenden-
cies of the young fish the other day, hs
said:
"We have to be careful in asserting tina
bass. In this tank or pool, for instance,
we have about 5000 of the smaller slze'
which average an inch and three-quar-
ters in length. The reason we have TO
he particular is because the little fellows
have q practice of devouring each other.
THE Young bass are great cannibals.
Look at that now" exclaimed MI.
Greene. pointing at mass OF fish in the
tank. "There is a little fellow that has
seized another almost as large as him
self" The little cannibal was not more
than two inches in length, and had
seized another about an inch and hair
long. and was trying to make away with
him.
Superintendent Greene relates re-
cent occurrence which came under his
observation. A bass which was by actu-
measurements a inches long had tried
to swallow one Az inches in length. The
larger fish had partly swallowed the
other. and the tail Of the unfortunate
was protruding from the mouth OF the
bigger one. Mr.. Greene captured the
cannibal in net, and upon examina-
ton found that the head of the smaller
fish had been partly digested. 1t was
case, he said, of laying in about weeks
supply of food and digesting it by de-
grees. eve now have to make spring

Mr.. Greene. eff we did not make the

My jackass only stepped his feet in the
edge, and dad wanted me to swim my
fall off onto the jack, but I knew dad
would sink my jack in a minute, and
wouldn't go in the river. Well, the
camels drank about an hour, with dad
sitting there meditating, and then the
dragomen got them out, and we started
off for the pyramids, which were in
plain sight like the pictures you have
seen, with palm trees along the Nile, and
Arabs camping on the bank, and it
looked as though everything was going
to be all right, when suddenly dads
camel stopped dead still and wouldn't
