The Chivalrous Red Man.
rom the Outing Magazine.

Near the end of brilliant match be-
tween our Oldest university and the Carlisle
Indians one of the Indian backs suddenly
got away with the ball and was OFF down
the field with nothing between him and
the goal posts but one man. If the runner
succeeded I'm getting by him, it meant ever
lasting athletic glory for himself and per-
haps victory for his small college over
this mighty institution of learning, con-
tanning the flower of the civilization which
had swept his forefathers away from the
lands they once possessed The crowd In
the stands had arisen, gasping in their ex-
element, as crowds always do at such mo-
ments. But just as he had almost gained
the coveted line that one man, a famous
Splinter, brought the runner down with
beautiful tackle. The stands rocked with
relief. and the usual "piling up" of other
players took place. AS the two lay there
together the fair-haired representative OF
New England. while still clasping the dark
skinned descendent of American savagery,
felt something funbling and presently be-
came aware. at the bottom of the heap
there, that his right hand was being shaken.
Good tackle" muttered the Indian.

How Russian Government Treats Pc

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG. November T. 1906.
Siberian journals are full of the horrible
suffering which the political exiles undergo
In Tobolsk. Irkutsk and other sections of
that desolate land During the last eleven
months as many as $4,000 people have been
sent thither. About two thousand have es-
capped. but the rest remain to endure a
/ living death. They are sent to the marshes,
where nothing grows but rank grass and
where no trade craft can enable them
to earn enough to prolong their miserable
existence.
The Russian government allows them ex-
actly two and a half cents per day. The
money sent by their friends rarely reaches
them being Intercepted by the cars
officials. In summer they keep body and
soul together with fish caught in the rivers
and coarse rye bread. In winter fish is
worth its weight in gold and bread un-
heard Of Then they eat the grass from
the frozen marshes. Little wonder that
scurvy, cholera and typhus rage among
them. This is not the worst. for they are
obliged to live IN the mud huts of the ma
tive Ostiaks. infected with that Siberian
scourge, leprosy. 1t Is not surprising that
| these exiles most of them delicately reared
men and women. envy their more fortu-
nate comrades who have persisted on the
stockades of Russian fortresses for their
political opinions and have thus escaped
this certain but slow death known as per
petual exile" They have no hope for any
thing better and cannot even md a solace
for their sufferings in work-for there is
none to be done in this frozen wilderness
In spite of the heavy death rate, their
| numbers are steadily increasing, for every
week brings out fresh victims. In fact, the
| numbers of political exiles have increased
to such an extent that the Russian gov
eminent has decided to run special exile
trains daily from st. Petersburg to Siberia.
| These trains carry only political prisoners,
who are herded together like cattle in UNI
warmed wagons They run at the speed
of the so-called postal or courier trains
And yet, in spite of these terrible suffer-
ings, men and women in Russia are bent
upon fighting for freedom. Within the last
few weeks 5000 pounds of dynamite, 100000
bullets and 4C00 rifles have been found by
the police secreted in private houses in
Moscow. Petersburg and other large towns
Never before have Russian prisons and
Siberian marshes been so crowded with
political prisoners as at the present time.

Character in Walking.

One who observes closely boasts that he
can tell a .woman's character from her
walk. A listless way of lifting ones feet
indicates lazy disposition. A shuffling,
dragging step denotes Incidence of mind
and body. A heavy. flat-footed walk means
a good housekeeper and an aggressive ma
ture. He further asserts that lie woman
who likes mannish shoes and boots is never
dainty or feminine, and that the ideal wom-
an wears pretty shoes in the street and
dainty slippers in the house.

NOTE AND COMMENT

Alice was never bad girl, but Old
Nick got her anyway.
Since the evolution of the errand
boy, the snail has taken back seat.
Most bachelors like to hear a baby
cry, because it is usually taken out Of
the room.
Whiskey kept in bottles is harmless.
Trouble begins when it is transferred
to the stomach.
The Rugby papers soothe each
others wounded feelings with INTEL
lectual aquafortis.
When the right man comes along
the girls mother never has to omen a
matrimonial bureau,
When a man keeps his nose above
liquor, he usually has trouble keeping
his head above water.
The Forum says pain is an advan-
tage. Yes, it helps to get up courage
to have tooth pulled.
The girl who marries because of her
dancing usually spends the rest Of
her life paying the fiddler.
The man who sees the most danger
from public officials is the one who
has been defeated for Office.
The reason why some men do not
believe there is room at the top is be-
cause they never get up to see.
The abolition Of the infant class
room from the Sunday school auditor
ium is a proof of race suicide.
The pure paint law is one of the

up against the last legislature.
Why should not marriage be a fail

he proposes than at any other time in
his life.

Man ABOUT TOWN

The Man overheard conversation
between two belligerent newsboys to-

the truth of the saying that this is an
age Of progress. One youngster about
10 years of age called the other "a

vine carelessness (only he did not say
Diyine). a fostering sore upon the
breast of Time," and the other went
him one better by stating that "the
English language was too frail to ex-
press the utter contempt he had for
boy with the name of JONES'" and
lie was a digging, ambling moon calf"

DANGERS OF THE PARCELS POST.

For years the press of the country
has been waging a relentless war on
mail order houses. The business in
Jury that is an inevitable result of the
policy has been ably pointed out.
But the evil has not reached it's
worst condition If one Of the plans be-
ing quitely though surely worked by
the mail order houses is not killed be-
fore it is born.
We refer to the parcels post. Like
a gigantic octopus, it is gradually fas-
tening its deadly tentacles on the bust
ness of the country, and before the
victims know Of their danger, will
he beyond the hope of escape.
A brief outline of the danger to the
general business man will show how
far reaching the effects of postal law
requiring the government to handle a
great parcels business through the
postoffice system
1t will. in the first place, make the
United States postal service general
delivery for such business houses AS
Montgomery Ward & Co., T. NJ. Rob-
erts. John Wanamaker, Boggs & Buel,
and few others who have already
established large retail trades by
means of mail orders and express de-
liveries.
These are the people who are so
earnestly advocating the parcels post.
The present express and railway
charges on small packages make 1t
difficult to put an inferior article in the
hands of the purchaser in competition
with the prices of the local merchant,
and prohibit competition with goods Of
equal grade.
But If the parcels post were esta5-
ifshed, the cost would be reduced.
True there would be q deficit in the
postal receipts which the people would
have to be taxed to pay, but this deficit
would go to the pockets of the mail
order people and they would be enrich
Cd accordingly.
This is not the worst evil by any
means. Once the parcels post is es-
stablished every merchant in the coun-
try outside the. large centers would be
forced out of business or into bank
r.ptcy.

which have resulted from cuts and
other skin abrasions coming in contact
with we'll developed diseased portions
of animals, usually in the process Of
post mortem examinations.
If the transmission of the germs and
their propagation in the healthy body
be possible by this means, there would
seem to be no reason why similar
germs taken from the mammalory
secretions and placed in the human
stomach would not produce a similar
internal incubation.
If this be true, the purity of the milk
diet becomes matter of prime impor-
lance to the people everywhere, and
thorough understanding Of the mat
ter by the public will materially aid

DISEASE IN MILK.

There are some things In connection
with the milk question in this city
that appeal rather strongly to the
lay mind.
Like many other great questions
the medical fraternity is somewhat
divided in opinion as to whether or
not bovine tuberculosis can be COM
municated to man through the agency
of milk from the animal.
DR.. Koch, the well-wnown authority
on tuberculosis, claims that the dis
ease is not communicable. A large
number of the profession disagree.
Under these conditions the layman
must apply common sense reasoning
in order to reach conclusion.
Animals affected with tuberculosis
have high temperature with the forma-
ton of pus in different parts of the
body and especially in the mammary
glands, with a considerable develop
ment of toxins.
These LESSONS in the udder have an
effect upon the character of the milk,
while the tuberculine germs which are
carried In the circulation must of
necessity pass into the milk glands.
If they do, there can be no reason
for believing that the milk is not in
fected.
If these germs be not destroyed be-
fore the milk is taken into the human
stomach. they would necessarily de-
velop the disease in man, provided, #
course, the disease can be transmitted
from the animal to the human being,
and provided also that before leaving
the human body these germs should
find portion of the body capable of
developing the germs.
Scientists agree that the mucous
surfaces Of the stomach and intestines
are easily infected. Once this infec-
ton takes places. the circulation car
ries it to all parts of the body, and
because of their peculiar formation,
when once fastened upon the lungs. Is
impossible to cure.
The fact that milk is taken into the
stomach in almost always the native
state. and without undergoing any pro-
cess by which the tubercular germs
might be destroyed. makes it more
dangerous than any other source.
Scientists are not agreed on the fun
damental fact of whether or not the
disease can be communicated from the
animal to man, but certain it is that
the greatest weight Of authority is that
1t can be.
Those who deny the idea of commu-
base their conclusions largely
on the fact that human tuberculosis
can not be communicated to animals.
have fairly well estab-
lished this proposition. But no ex-
periments have been possible to prove
the contrary. because human subjects
for experimental purposes have not
been available.
There are, however, a large number
Of cases Of accidental incubation

and the most dangerous trust in the
world will be formed-dangerous be-
cause it will eliminate competition in
the handling Of every commodity
which is necessary in the home.
The great army of men now en-
gagged in mercantile pursuits will be
forced into the productive ones, and
the population will be correspondingly
increased, thus making smaller mar
ket with larger supply.
Without the parcels post these great
department stores can only deliver to
the points accessible to the express
companies. But with it the trade will
be extended to every point reached by
by the mail service.
This done the present evil of the
mail order houses will be proportion
ately increased
While the press or the country is
educating the public against the policy
of sending away from home for it's
supplies, the mail order people are
quietly creating an erroneous senti-
ment in favor of a national law on
this matter.
The smaller merchants should be-
come aroused on the matter and begin
at once to prevent the enactment Vt
such a law.
If the consumers would be profited
by the plan there might be superficial
excuse for the scheme.
| But they would not. The harvester
trust has proven that once the con-
troll Of the articles is secured, the pur-
chaser is at the mercy of the seller.
So would it be in the mail order bust
ness and once the parcels post is in
augurated and the local mercha 1t
driven out. the public will pay the
cost just as it is paying the enhanced
price Of oil and its by-products since
that industry has conferred in one or
ganization.
