a Little Misunderstanding.

Englishman, got married last year in
London and had only been keeping
house a week or two when cousin
in the country sent her brace Of
pheasants. Some people like to hang
pheasants-t0 keep them a week or
two, letting them get high on the
ground that the fresh flesh is tough
and stringy. The cook knew this, but
her young mistress knew nothing pos

Please, ma'an.' said the cook when
the pheasants arrived, do you like the

Widows.

Widows exist in all countries, thus
cOunterbalancing the matrimonial de-
cadence which might otherwise result
from timid men. Widows are clinging
by temperament and attach themselves
readily to any object that can't help
itself. 1t is generally considered I'M
lucky to meet n widow on a dark piaz-
"a by the light of the moon. In many
countries to be kissed by a widow
means endless trouble. Widows are
frequently accompanied by children.
whose number is constantly liable to
increase. They roam at large over
the principal sections, and no man is
safe when they are near. All the per-
feet men now dead have married wild
ows, thus forming Il continuous con-
trast to the miserable specimens who
still live. 1t has been said Beware Of
widows" but this is unnecessary. for
no man can really help himself-Life.

A FOOL AND HIS MONEY.
The CreduIity OF Men End the GOspea
of the Parasites.

The credulity of a multitude of more
or less thrifty people. who. in their
mania for money. are ready to believe
that they can amass fortunes over
night, makes them the easy prey OF a
swarm of parasites Who infest the
financial districts. The gospel of the
parasites who build air castles for their
victims and real castles for themselves
is terse:
"a fool is born every minute"
ga fool and his money are soon
parted"
Posing as bankers ard brokers, the
financial parasites scour the country
for the fools and then exercise their
nimble wits in devising schemes TO ac-
complish the partition. How many
millions of dollars are parted from the
fools every year may be conjectured
from the millions of dollars spent By
the pseudO-inanciers in advertising.
The bulk of the financial advertising
in the leading newspapers of the conn
try is intended for the fools. Another
index of the richness of the harvest OF
parting money from the fools is the
occasional exposure of some particu-
larly glaring and bungled imposturee
when the calculable ''swag" runs into
the hundreds of thousands, if not into
millions. But these frauds are seldom
exposed. for the victims are usually as
anxious as the victimiZers to escape
the limelight of publicity. Most men
prefer to lose .thir money rather than
hear their neighbors quote from the
parasites gospel, "A fool and his
money are soon parted. Success.

Gold And The Sea.

"When the Banks ship gold across
the Atlantic said a Banker, "they
prefer to ship it in bars rather than in
coin. 1t loses less that way"
1t loses less?"
Eyes, sir. If $1,000, 900 in gold coin
is shipped across the sea it is only
S999, 800 on its arrival. 1t loses from
twelve to fifteen ounces, about $500,
through abrasion. through knocking
about with the motion of the waves.
1.-The sea makes gold lose weight,
you see, the same as it does human
beings.
"Gold bars lose less. In fine weather
they will only lose about 500 to each
million. In the ugliest weather they
don't lose over $3.50, whereas, in like
conditions, gold coins have Eeen known
to lose $500.
LAS gold shipments of $4,000, 600
often occur, to make these shipments
in gold bars instead of gold coin is a
saving of 81, 900 or more.
1t is odd to think, when you cross in
one of these gold-laden ships, that
every wave that hits the boat clips ten
or fifteen cents from its gold cargo. :"

SHAKESPEARE'S NAME.
The Great Poet Himself Spelled 1t
In Different Ways.

The Great Poet Himself Spelled 1t
In Different Ways.
Our great poet Shakespeare spelled
his surname in two ways-viz, ''Shak-
spere" and Shakespeare" in writing
the three signatures to his will, now at
Somerset House Besides these three
there are two other authentic sigma
lures. of which the first, in the con-
veyance of his Blackfriars property, is
written "Shakspere," and the second.
in the mortgage deed relating to the
same property, has been interpreted
both as "Shakspere" and Shakespeare
Shakespeare is the spelling of the al
legged autograph in the British mu-
scum copy OF FloriO's "MOntaigne,'
but the authenticity of the signature
is considered doubtful. The name Of
the poets father occurs siXty-SiX times
in the council books of Stratford and
is spelled in sixteen ways, the COM
monest form being 'Shaxpere." Al
most all references to the poet in the,
seventeenth century give the form.

the grant of arms in 1896, in the IL
cense to the players of 1903 and in the
text of all the legal documents relat-

poet sanctioned this spelling is clear
from its adoption in the Venus and
Adonisy of 1893 and the ''Lucrece" OF
1894. which were produced under his

Matter OF White Supremacy Or
Black Domination Must
he S0fk.0d

Announcement of carefully planned
campaign to repeal the fifteenth amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, which gives the negro equality
with the white man as a citizen was
made by Governor Vardaman, of Mis-
sissippi, who was in Chicago the other
day attending the railway surgeon S
convention.
Governor Vardaman, who is seeking
election to the United States Senate,
declared that if he were member of
the Upper House he would make fight
on the floor of that body, believing
that he had the support of the entire
South.
He insists that a crisis in the rela-
ton of the races in the Southern States
is at hand and that the problem of
white supremacy or black domination
should be settled at once.
81 favor unqualifedly without re-
serve the abrogation of the fifteenth
amendment to the Constitution" said
Governor Vardaman. And it is my
hope through the United States Senate
to demonstrate to the nation thatsthere
is only one practical way of settling
this matter and that is by placing the
negro in his proper place in our system
of government.
The question most be settled and
that very soon. 1t cannot be dis posed
of, however, until the nation as whole
has been convinced that there is dis
tinctiOn between the whites and the
blacks. The law now specifically
recognizes a difference between the
white man and the Indian, Chinaman,
Esquimo or Malay. There is just as
wide a gap between the white man and
the nergO.
1.-The negro situation in the South is
becoming more critical every day. Not
withstanding the many dollars spent to
educate them, they are becoming more
irresponsible, more disrespectfuI of
law and more animated in their charac-
ter and desires.
How will the abrogation of the
/ fifteenth amendment change condi-
! tions?' was asked.
cit will simply place the merge where
he belongs" replied the Governor.
1.-The criminal instinct, which is daily
! becoming more rampant, is the out
cropping of the desire to attain the
social equality fostered by the present
legal equality amendment which il
recognizes and compels.
eff get to the Senate. there will be
an opportunity to speak to the entire
nation The North will know what the
South already knows-that the climax
of the situation is at hand They will
come to appreciate that Thomas Jeffer-
son was not speaking of the negro
when he said that all men were Great
ed free and equal. He knew that the
negro was a mere chattel."
How soon do you expect the crisis?
sit is nearly DUE" said Governor
Vardaman. 1.-The matter of white
supremacy or black domination in the
South is at fever heat and the sooner
the North and West realizes that the
better it will be for the nation"

The Worst Yet.

One of the meanest crimes was

afternoon that has happened in
Salisbury for a long time. A
small boy had been sent from one
of the shoe stores to deliver sew
eral pairs Of shoes. According to
his story he was held up on Liber-
ty street by a white man, who
stuck a pistol in his face and made
him give up the shoes. The Off
GERS have no clue to the robber
as the boy was too badly frighten-
ed to accurately describe the
highwayman. 1t is hoped he may
be brought to Justice.
