PUZZLED BY The LAW

Librarian Putnam of the Congress
sional library tells a story of a COL
ored man who came into the library
few days ago and asked one of the
assistants for good law book" He
explained that one Of his neighbors
intended to sue him, and he wanted to
get book so he could find out the
law.
The clerk gave him copy Of book
called Every Man His Own Lawyer"
The colored man sat down at one Of
the desks and turned the pages of
the book for an hour. Then he came
to the desk Of the assistant and said:
"'Deed, boss, CANT you git me
sumpin' easier? Dis yer Is d. fifth edi-
ton. CANT I have d. fust edition
Mebbe I c'u'd understan' dat. I amt
bin gittin' on right smart with dis
yere fifth one."-Baltimore News.

FROM the Detroit NeWs-Tr1bune:
'Give me castor oil cocktail" said
the man at the drug store counter. The
clerk poured bottle Of sarsaparilla into
glass, dashed a few drops Of paregoric
into it and then poured in some castor
oil. The man drank 1t with pleasant
face and walked out as If he had drunk
soda water instead Of castor oil. Eyes, we
have quite call for castor oil cocktails
said the clerk If mans system is a lit
tie out and he needs dose of castor oil
the only way to take it is in the cock
tail form. You wouldn't know there was
drop Of oil in 1t. If you've ever taken
castor oil neat you will recognise the VAL

DAWNING OF THE NEW TIME.

A great moral wave seems to be In
process of incubation throughout the
country Last year Colorado militar-
ism and Parryism were apparently
blowing forward at undated speed.
This year the pendulum has swung
back and from every portion of the
country comes protest after protest
against the power and greed Of Man,
mon.
Tom Lawsons exposure of the
System" has been read with intense
interest from coast to coast. It has
had an awakening effect on the people
that is giving rise to other things Of
no less Importance. Then President
Roosevelt's public declaration against
freight rate discrimination, while
ignored by congress, struck a popular
chord that will not easily subside.
DR.. Gladden's protest against his
church accepting 100000 from John
D. Rockefeller is causing much dis
cussion. While his church accepted
the questionably begotten money, the
protest has served it's purpose
The opposition to the Standard Oh
company in Kansas will also have a
moral effect Of much consequence.
Kansas may be beaten, but like the
first crusade from that state at Harp
er's Ferry in 1861 against chattel
slavery, who knows but that it's state
refinery may be a modern John Brown
attempt to free the nation from in
dustrial serfdom?
The result of the election in Chicago
at which the people in unmistakable
terms declared for the public owner
ship of public service utilities sounds
the death knell Of special privileges
in local Governments. Slowly but
surely the people are coming to their
senses.
The murmurings of discomfort, the
recognition Of inequitable conditions.
and the confessions of political and
business, corruption are arousing the
men and women Of intelligence who
have not been purchased and whose
souls are free. An entirely new
literature which breathes the spirit of
human brotherhood is filling the land.
The pen Of the day is on the side Of
humanity. Only the hired scribblers

A LESSON IN IMMIGRATION.

Commissioner of immigration
Sargent has introduced a new system
at Ellis Island that should receive the
hearty support Of every person who
is interested in the immigration ques-
ton.
Mir. Sargent proposes to attain this
end by establishing an exhibition hall
at Ellis Island, devoted to displaying
the resources of the various states and
the opportunities they offer to settlers.
The exhibits are to be furnished by the
states and local commercial bodies and
explained by corps Of guides. In this
way the immigrants will learn that
there is more of the United States be-
yond the limits of our large cities. As
it is, most Of them land in a state Of
bewildered and helpless ignorance, and
unless they have relatives to draw
them elsewhere they are likely to
settle down In the sweatshop and
over-crowded factory region that first
receives them. A number of them are
secured by employment agencies, and
are shipped to our mining districts, and
industrial centers, where their cheap
European method Of living has a dis
astrious effect on the wages and con-
ditions of American labor.
What is needed most from these
people Is more home builders and
actual producers who are free from
the explorations of the greedy element
Of our capitalist class.
When one thinks Of the millions of
acres Of undeveloped, but fertile lands
at our very door, that are capable of
producing so much wealth, and the
thousands Of people in our land who
are in hungas and want, it can be
readily seen how easy it will be to
make immigration a blessing, rather
labor.
The retaining of Government lands
that have been fraudulently secured,
and their disposition to bona fide
settlers by the Commissioner Of I'M
migration would be a step in the right
direction, and for a time at least would
relieve the present situation, caused
by the great stream of immigration
which is over crowding all Of our la
Dor centres.
If legislators, both state and national
would give more thought to this ques-
ton, and less aid to the predatory in
terests that are sapping the life blood
out Of our nation, it would not take
very long to have a healthy economic
condition of affairs in every portion
Of our country.
Commissioner Sargent is doing a.
good work but he cannot succeed until
the land is reclaimed from mercenary
spectators by congress. At present
it is beyond the reach of the ordinary
immigrant.

sPEEDED HIS PARTING SON.
Fathers Over Generous Response /
Sons Appeal,

Uncle Tom Gray was a quaint char
acter. He was farmer in the town of
Liver1nore. Me-, was a hard worker
and prudent manager, and became
well-to-do. He had a ne'er do well
son, James. who had cost the old man
considerable money.
One day James came to his father
with a new proposition. Dad" he
said. II can get a. good job in Exter,
N. H. If you'll give me $40 to start me
up there, I'll never ask you for another
cent
You sure about that, Jeames?"
Eyes, dad. 1 hope to die I'll never
come to you again"
Uncle Tom slowly pulled out a. shah
by but well filled wallet, counted out
five tens and handed them over with
the remark: "Jeames, take SO more
and 20 furder.'

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.
From the New York Press:
A girl has to be mighty pretty to
make man forget the way she tries
to reason.
After a man has tried every other
way to loose his money he can always
hire g. lawyer.
The only woman who acts prouder
than the one who is just going to be
married is the one who has just been
divorced.
When a man leaves a town because
he couldn't pay his rent. it is a sign
he will tell everybody the climate was
malarial.
Sometimes even man who doesn't
know enough to earn a living has such
good business judgment that he will
marry q rich wife.
