black iron dogs, shovel and tongs.
Logs and fagots lie upon the ponder
GUS andirons. Curious old pots and
vases and jugs and mugs and fagons
fill the mantlepiece. In ,one corner
dripping from the bungs upon the
sand--are piled up into great
mountain of hogsheads, casks, bar
rels, kegs and demijohns. When we
saw the dripping bungs our soul was
much lifted up, and we longed for an
object of charity upon whom or
which we might sacriGcially bestow
our remaining niokels.
In this room are an organ, piano,
and wicked and vulgar graphic
phone. The graphophone spelled
with but little cessation and inspired
you to pray earnestly for a quick
translation into the heavenly rest
WHITTIER your footsteps were surely
tending. The graphophone is the
most serious anaohronism of the
Subway Tavern, for in the happy
days of the ancient time the devil
had not invented the graphophone.
On the walls of this subterranean
chamber hang strange and quaint old
pictures, and as we could find no
merit whatever in any of them, we
naturally concluded they were works
of high art.
sUBTERRANEOUs COOKING.
Opening out from the sanded par
lor, and running further and deeper
into the bowels of the earth, stretches
a vast and darkling cook room.
From this room are brought to you
and placed on your round table, any
manner and all manners of viands
from roast beef to "chop suey."
Your refreshing fluids come to you
from above--manna. The sanded
parlor was full of gay, fluffy, feath-
cry people--men and women, all
ages, colors, nationalities and condi-
tions-all except the negro. There
were dozens of fluffy blonde girls, with
pink and blue and white parasols. 1t
is the fluffy blonde girl that "takes
the cake" And peroxide widows
with strange figures-plumped up in
sections. And many base ball boys
with wildly dishevelled foretops,
with their wounded and bleeding
shanks covered up by thinnest lace
stockings. And old men and old
women, chewing and drinking and
mumming and cumming. And pet
dogs and parrots and monkeys.
We saw none of Bishop Potter's
plain, honest, poor people, seeking a
place of virtuous relaxation and
the fluffy girls and the peroxide
widows and the scabby, bleeding
boys were all gay. They had come
out for pink tea with blue and gold
accompaniments, and they were hav-
ing it. And in this sanded parlor
visitors and guests are not only at
liberty to do things, but are earn
estly requested to do them-to eek

cess whose beauty fascinated all
men, but the man she loved was young
and courageous. The lovely ATLANTA
gave herself to the best runner. and
many a hero has had to do daring fedts
to win the hearts Of worthy maids.
But a strange sutton is he who ex.
poets the girl he loves to win races,
fight duels. catch and throw spears.
II she has beauty. kindness Of heart
and manner that win suffice, says the
New York News.
Although in every land beauty helps
to awaken a feeling of love, beauty
differs greatly among different peo.
pies, A worthy proverb declares that
most men have a hard time accounting
for their conscience and their taste.
This accounts for the fact that some
men admire blondes, others brunettes;
some women like men who are Sc
rious. others prefer such as are lively.
1t is probably true that beauty is no
quality in things themselves: It ex.
lists merely In the mind which con.
templates it and each mind ~percelves
a different beauty"
The Australian ~aboriginees are con.
sidered most uncivillzed when cor.
trasted with European and American
men, yet they have definite conceptions
Of what real beauty Is. They care far
more for the attractive lace than a
good figure. They pay special atten-
ton to the part OF the face above the
eyes, and they like to see a frank and
open expression, and. better still, a
wild look. If a woman is good looking
all the men want her, and the strong
est is the n who usually is victo-
'rious. ,.-."----.
But every Australian girl wants and
is expected to have a snub nose. They
laugh at the sharp noses Of Euro
peans and call them "tomahawk
noses They are 20 proud Of their
fiat and triangular shaped noses that
they often pierce them with a yellow
stick for an ornament. They tell
strangers: What a pity 1t is that Eng
lish mothers pull their children's
noses and make them so frightfuIIy
long
The women OF Western Queensland
are far more attractive, for their
hands are small and their feet well
shaped, with SO high an instep that
one wonders where they developed this
aristocratic mark of beauty. Their fig
ures are oftentimes beautiful and their
skin is like velvet. When these black
daughters Of Eve smile and show taeir
beautiful white teeth and when their
eyes glance coquettishly from beneath
their curly hair. 1t is not difficult to
understand why their men consider
them beautiful.
A fiat, retreating brow and fat fea;
lures are not admired by men in civil
ization, but there are many peoples
who consider this a decided mark Of
beauty. Hearne. who spent many
years with the American Ineians, de-
~clares: ASK a Northern Indian what
beauty is and he Will answer: A broad,

Among the Merrymakers

George Washington Thomas an able
podled negro of Sleepy Hollow, appeared
perore Magistrate NuSsbaum charged with
stealing chickens. The negro was accom-
panied by his lawyer. Col Simmons. a
rising young white attorney. The old
Judge sauntered into the iingy courtroom
where he had reigned for more than TWEEN
" years, and after calling for order he
looked around on the little company there
assembled. Seeing George Washington
Ihomas, he pointed to him and said:
BE you the defendant in this case?'
Quick as flash George was on his feet.
and not understanding legal terms he ex-
claimed politely:
No. sab; no. sab; amt de Tenant:
dar's de Tenant ovah dar." And saving
which. he pointed to his lawyer. There
was a general laugh about the room, in
which the queer old judge Joined heartily.
The darhy felt abashed. He was visibiy
embarrassed, and thinking to correct the
mistake. If mistake it We're. he said again.
pointing at his lawyer: "Yas, sab; he's de

What the Editors Say

Ii is said that the Ramsey county

give the old capitol away. The fac.
That the state has out millions into
new capitol building is no reason to
assume tnat they have money or prop

Is inadequate to accommodate the
business of the state and the old
structure should be retained. Turn it
over TO the state historical society and
allow its assembly rooms to be used
IN entertaining state conventions
meeting place.-Blue Earth County
Enterprise.
1t might not be amiss If the Min
nesota legislature should get some of
that Kansas feeling toward the Stand

DO AWAY WITHIT

The legislature might solve all the
problems presented to it by different
propositions to amend the law of gar
nishment by abolishing all garnishee
proceedings whatever. A great differ
ence Of opinion develops as to what
amount of earnings should be excepted
from punishment, and over this the
representatives of the mercantile COM
munity and those of the wage earning
community differ. The legislature
would do the right thing were it to
reconcile them by striking every refer
ence to the subject from our statute
books
The extension of credit to the pur-
chaser of commodities is a matter
wholly voluntary with the vendor. The
goods are in his possession and cannot
leave it without his consent. Before
disposing of them to any man he meas
ures his own risk and accepts it. IT is
his business to know, and he does
know, something about the purchaser;
his resources, his general credit and
his reputation as snan who pays his
debts. 1t is on the basis of this infor-
nation that credit is extended. If the
seller makes a mistake, he should ac-
cept the consequences Of it as other
people have to do.
A garnishee law is of the slightest
possible use to people who do careful
business, and is more frequently exer-
cised in behalf of usurers and creditors
pound of flesh than anybody else. 1t is
held over the heads Of men earning
just enough to keep themselves and
their families from actual want. Where
it is to be used against dishonest debt
ors, who could pay and will not, these
men usually are well known to the
community as such and ought never to
have been trusted. They would have
obtained no credit, probably, but for
the existence of the garnishment privi-
lege.
The doing away with this whole sys-
tenn would not, we believe, impose the
slightest hardship on anybody. 1t
would improve the general average of
credits and elevate the tone of BUSH
ness morality. 1t would do far more
than any garnishment proceedings can
do to compel a man to pay his debts.
For the man whose credit is bad could
get no credit, but would be compelled
to pay cash. The volume of bad debts
would be nightly lessened IMPROVE
dent men would learn by being unable
to buy, instead of by the terrible hard
ships that the enforcement of debts
recklessly contracted on both sides
eventually brings upon themselves and
those dependent upon them. The gar
nishment business is a relic of the old
system of imprisonment for debt, and
in general Of making property more
sacred than human rights. At this age
Of the worlds progress we ought to
have done with it.

FAIRBANKS TURNED LOOSE

Charles Warren Fairbanks is evil
IDENTIFY disposed to let his vice presi-
Dental light so shine as to attract the
attention of the passing politician in
search Of home. There Is no doubt
whatever that the vice president au-
thorized the boom that was started
for him for the Republican presiden-
tial nomination at the meeting of the
Republican National Editorial associa-
ton this week. 1t cannot be claimed for
Mr.. Fairbanks that he is calculated tn
inspire a meeting of editors with such
enthusiasm for his person that they
must then and there declare for him
for the presidency three years ahead
Of the convention. But those editors
did so declare and we are constrained
to the belief that there was some deli
cate advance work done by the friends
of the Indiana man.
We doubt If the affair is entitled to
the consideration it has received at the
hands~of the Republican press. 1t is
utterly impossible to forecast the state
Of the country three years from now.
but 1t would take something in the
way of gift Of Imagination to see the
mantle of Roosevelt hoisted upon the
shoulders of Fairbanks.
The vice president gained nothing in
personal popularity by the last CAM
paign. He was the safe understudv
for the man in the saddle He weighed
not an ounce in the scales of public
opinion. He represents not at all the
elements in Roosevelt that gave the
Republican ticket its enormous major
ity. There are few men prominent in
public life just now who are more re-
mote from the ebullient spirit of the
people Of this country than Charles
Warren Fairbanks. And the serenity
OF the man does not impress one as
does the dignified gravity of some
other men who stand high in public
esteem. but who lack the elements of
popularity
The Fairbanks boom is hardly worth
while Mr.. Fairbanks has just about
all the gifts necessary in vice presf-
dent under the constitutional iimita-
tons surrounding that Office. AS a
presidential possibility he is a tragic
joke.
