FEAT OF WATER OWNER.
Test That Created Amazement Among
Scientists Who Wit
messed It.

1t may be a surprise to most people
to learn that the old-fashioned method
of finding water by means of forked
stick has not gone out of use before
the scientific experts, engineers and
analysts. A recent exhibition of this
was given in England by Mr. Thomp-
son, who is farmer and breeder Of
sheep on a large scale With large
party of the experts who use more sci
eltifc methods for finding water he
entered a large field holding the forked
stick in his hands They walked up and
down the grounds, but were soon led
to an adjoining field, where tae twig
seemed t') pull the operator aSost. After
a time he was so powerfully affected that
he was obliged to release the stick and
rest When he again took it in his
hands it drew him to a spot where he
said water would be found at a depth
Of so feet, and a full supply at 80 or 100
feet This was found to be a fact, to
the great amazement Of the scientists.

The famous Siamese twins, Chang

York Herald writer. / remember pass
ing forenoon with them in one of the
side rooms of Barnum's museum,
where they were for time on exhibit
ton. They had just closed furious
quarrel owing to very decided differ
snce of opinion over what they should
do during their leisure on an ap-
preaching holiday Chang was par
ticularly anxious to call upon his
Hancee, while Eng. having received a
quiet tip concerning dog fight over
In Hoboken, was all for that
The argument waxed nerce and hot,
and neither would yield to the other.
1t resulted, as matter Of course, in a
complete deadlock, and the unfortun-
ate brothers could do nothing but sit
and rage inwardly.
What a paradox we are!" finally
calculated Eng, with a nervous laugh.

The board will set forth that the Clover

from St Louis TO Toledo from 10 >
cents, making the domestic rate from
Omaha and Kansas City via st. Louis to
the seaboard 1919 cents. while shipments
by way of Chicago cost 21z.
The board asserts it has repeatedly ap-
pealed TO the Eastern railroads to unite
with the Western lines in making a cor

such requests have been refused.

HE LEARNED TO HUSTLE.
Salt Water Sailor Discovers Some
thing on Fresh Water ship.

NhlnE on FRESH water snip.
From the Century Magazine
There was n saltwater captain who
for reasons of his own, accepted berth
as first mate in a big passenger steamer
on the Great Lakes. He was a capa-
bic seafaring man, but he did not
know what hustle" meant until he
went aboard at Buffalo. The lake skip
per to whom he reported for duty re-
marked in the most casual manner:
Just give her a coat of paint this
morning, and if the sun stays hot and
she dries in good shape, give her q
second coat this afternoon"
The saltwater mate staggered in
his tracks and made amazed protest
This was a 5000-ton vessel. and giving
her two coats of paint was several
days work, by his reckoning The
lake skipper was a person of discern
ment. wherefore he had pity on his
new mate and forbore TO deal harshly
with him, explaining with a tolerant
grin;
All right. I suppose you'll have to
learn to move lively after snoozing
around salt water all your life. You
just pass that order along to the bos'n,
and tell him It's got to be done, and
then you sit up and take notice"
The bOs'n took the order calmly, as
If it were in the days work, and by
nightfal the big steamer was spick
and span with two coats of paint from
her waterline to her guard-rail. The
sailor from deep water had learned his
first lesson in the ways of the Great
Lakes during the navigation season.

NEGRo's FUTURE IN POLITICS.
Likely 10 BE Less Potent as the
Years Roll BY.
Editor The Washington Herald:

Editor The Washington Herald
At this time, when the attention Of the
country is being directed TO the negro
through the recent act Of the President
in discharging the members Of the Tween
ty-fifth Infantry. and its possible effect
on national politics. I have been asked 70
give my views on the future OF the negro
in American politics, presumably because
1 have been discussing the potentiaiities
Of American politics.
II one must predict Dessimism is the
safest form of prophesy. since the thing
that happens is so rarely the thing that
should have happened; for il is easier 10
say what should be than 1t is TO say what
will be. and. like Cassandra. I prefer to
be accurate. if depressing, rather than
inaccurate. though inspiring. Therefore
say that the future influence Of the ne
gro in national politics viii be less po-
tent.
1t is not my purpose TO discuss the re-
cent act of Mr.. Roosevelt as TO its justice
or injustice, but I do say that the So
called negro leaders who are belching
forth from pulpits and platforms in up
course, will do more TO retard the progress
of the race than to further it's interests.
In my opinion, no class of people. eau
Casian or negro. can afford TO hUTl such
epithets as prevaricator and political
trickster at the Chief Magistrate of our
nation
Mr.. Roosevelt viii not always be Presi-
dent. but so long as he lives he will be
a tremendous factor in national affairs.
and we will need his friendship and as
sistance
The great handicap the young negro
confronts is in dealing with that self
styled element known as leaders"
We read where Mr. Booker Washington
sent his secretary to the President in the
case of the aforesaid soldiers. We have
been told that his advice Is asked on all
matters pertaining to the negro. If that
be true, then he was consulted in this
case. and we have heard Of no protest on
his part. save the sending of an incense
quential subordinate TO ask for a recon-
sderation. and we well know that IL a
political plum had been dangling in the
air he would surely have been on the
premises Booker Washington, at Tuske-
gee, calls forth our entire admiration
there he Is constructive, but Booker
Washington In the broad field Of leader
ship is a colossal failure.
The threat of arraying the negro vote
against the Republican party, together
with that silly talk of advising the bulk
of the negroes to leave the South is both
harmful and dangerous. for If the negro
ever brings about that condition where
political contests VIII be fought on pure
ly racial lines, his influence will lessen
and eventually he Will be eliminated from
the political equation.
