Mersenthaler Thought to Be . Crazy
Printer.

The other day an old-time printer,
comrade of the author Of this depart
ment in the old days Of hand compost
ton. dropped in on his way to the
northwest. to spend the summer
months. and an hour was pleasantly
spent in talking over the good old
times" and recalling the printer COM
rades of the old days, says Will NJ.
Maupin, in the Commoner And while
the tourist" was talking he recalled
a bit of history not generally known
even to the craft, and probably never
heard by the general public.
why. we can remember as late as
1887 and 'SS that we used to stand
around after go was In and laugh at
the idea Of anybody inventing a ma
chine that could set type" said the
Old Tourist. Remember how we used
to spend our wages like princes, and
feel secure in the thought that there
would always be work at the case.
Fffty-tive cents n thousand In Butte,
As in st. Louis. Cincinnati and Chi
cago, and work always waiting for you
when you drifted in.
Well. all Of a sudden Ottmar Mer-
genthaler brought his machine out.
and there we were-dumped without
recourse. so to speak. In five years
every daily paper in the country was
set by machines, and every machine
took the place of four hand men. Now
the linotype manufacturers are roll
ing In riches.
And we printers could have had
millions In our international treasury
II we hadn't been so sure that type
would never be set by machinery,
Mergenthaler went broke before he
had his machine perfected. but try as
he would he couldn't get another dol
lar
so he thought he would take the
printers into his confidence. thinking
that they would be more interested
than anybody else. He called our in
ternational officers together showed
them what he had accomplished. and
told them he needed less than $4,000
to complete his machine and get It
ready for the market The officers
looked his model over thoroughly and
then dediced that OFT was crank
and his machine impractical. They
turned him down and went home.
"Mergenthaler was in despair Fin
ally he managed to interest couple
Of men who knew nothing about print
ing, but who had money to burn They
advanced the necessary funds. and
within five years of the time our of
ficers turned him down Mergenthaler's
machines were on the market and the
factory unable to keep within seeing
of it's orders.
Il think it's safe to say that IL our
officers had advanced the money when
Mergenthaler asked for II we would
have had millions In our treasry now.
and We wouldn't he paying 10 per cent
a week to enforce the
day IT'S pity that we
old-time printers didn't have a fore
sight that would justify with our hind
sight"
The writer agreed with the Tourist,
divided his remaining dollar with him
and bid him goodbye. And while pom
dering over the bit of history related
by the passing friend, there came a
whistle up the tube and the man run
ming the linotype declared that II he
didn't get some copy mighty soon he
was going TO turn of the gas and go
home.

MISS .sOPHR0NIA's MIND

The Misses Malcolm were known to
the little world of which Greenby was
the center as the two Malcolm girls"
in spite Of their gray hairs and sixty
odd years. They were also known as
the best housekeepers in all the re-
gion, and any lapse from the exquisite
neatness of their domain seeming to
the Misses Malcolm terrible thing.
When cousin Palmer Malcolm, a
reckless western relative, died, the
Malcolm girls started for the Missouri
town on four hours notice, although
they had entertained thirty-two ''Hag.,
vest Cleaners" the night before, too.
To Miss Sophronia, the elder, was
allotted by mutual consent the task of
putting the lower rooms IN order, so
far as possible, while Miss Eudora at
tended to their bedrooms and their
simple packing.
When they were at last seated in
the train, after a two miles jolting
ride in the old coach, Miss Eudora
noticed that Miss Sophronia's face
wore a troubled and anxious look. AS
cousin Palmer Malcolm had been a
great trial to the family, Miss Eudora
stelt that his death could not be the
cause of her sisters worry, and after
Z few moments of silence she decided

SLAVERY IN OLD ILLINOIS

Some of the early laws for the regu-
lation Of slavery in what is now Hi
nois were curious and interesting. In
Prof. N. Dwight Harris book on the
subject the author says that in 1903 it
was found necessary to provide some
legal status for the numerous linden
.tured negroes. "Under the provisions
of this code all male negroes under
15 years of age, either owned or ac-
quired, must serve till the age of 35;
women till 80. Children born to per-
sons Of color during the period of
service could also be bound out-the
boys for thirty years and the girls for
overweight. All slaves brought into
the territory We're obliged to serve the
full term of their contracts
Slaves were easily imposed upon.
Most of the settlers owned slaves
and were anxious to get as much SER
vice out of them as possible. They
registered them for periods of servi-
tude far in excess of the legal limit,
many being booked to serve from
forty to sixty and even ninety-nine
years. Ninian Edwards, the first gov
ernor of the territory, registered his
slaves as follows: Rose, % years of
age, for thirty-fve years; Antony, 40
years old, for fifteen years; Maria, Is,

,sTURDy MINERS OF BUTTE

Probably nowhere in the world is
there such a forceful, yirile body of
workers as are the miners of Butte.
There are no graybeards. They are
social rebels: not that they chant the
Carmagnole to the waving of the
black flag OF anarchy, but in the sense
that back in the well-ordered civiliza-
lion of the east they rebelled against
poverty and pushed on to the from
tier, big-muscled,. red-blooded, deter
mined to sail the ship of their destiny
into pleasanter places than their boy
hood knew. From the copper mines
of Berehaven, in the County Cork,
from the coal mines of Tipperary,
from the tin mines OF Cornwall and
from wherever in Western Europe
men 60 down into the bowels of tie
earth for treasure, the sturdy young
men Of the mines came to America,
says Tom Watson's Magazine At the
Atlantic seaboard they heard the
story Of Mr.. Baer and his partnership
with God In the anthracite coal fields
Eof Pennsylvania, Of the company store
and the company shack, with Its yell
low fever paint by way Of decoration.
In company with their American
brothers they started across the CON
inent to the Hooking Valley OF Ohio.

for forty-fve years; Jesse, %, for
thirty-fve years. The ignorant ne
groes were deceived into believing
that it was right to bind themselves
for such long periods.
Even at this early day kidnapping
had begun. Negroes whose terms of
service were about to expire were
seized and carried off to the south
and sold into servitude more wretched
than before. The hiring of negroes to
work in salt mines, legalized by stat
ute in 1874, served as a pretext for
holding slaves in other parts of the
state, To roll a barrel of salt once
year or to put salt into salt cellar
was sufficient excuse says Gov. Flow
en- for any man to hire slave and
to raise field of corn
Wholesome food, sufficient clothing
and lodgings were to be provided for
each slave. The outfit for a servant
was enumerated as follows: ga coat,
waistcoat, pair of breaches, one pair
Of shoes, two pairs Of stockings, a
hat and blanket" No provision was
made for future increase and there
was no penalty for failure to provide
the original outfit. Lazy or indiffer-
emit servants might, on an order from
the justice of the county be punished
by whipping.

to probe the matter. At that very
moment Miss Sophronia spoke.
"Eudora," and her tone was one Of
distress, Il let Mrs. Goodwin 60 up
to the spare room just before supper
last night to get the measures Of
our quilt and bolster-spread, and the
bell rang while she was measuring,
and she hurried down, leaving the
quilt on one of the chairs and two Of
the curtain shades up to the top. She
told me, and forgot it. Suppose the
house caught on fire while we're gone,
md the neighbors went in and saw
that quilt on chair, and all, what
would they think of us?''
Now, Sophronia, you ought to have
trusted me, and not worried" said
Miss Eudora, calmly. Something led
me to open that spare room door the
last thing, and when saw what a fix
twas in, and knew I hadn't another
minute, just locked the door and
put the key in my pocket, for the
thought of fire came to me just as it
did to YOU
Miss Sophronia's face cleared.
I'm SO thankful, she said simply.
Il shouldn't have had one mite OF
pleasure or comfort in the journey or
the funeral if that door had been left
unlocked. Youths Companion.

HOW CLIMATE AFFECTS BLONDES

81 Did the ancient hi iliy civilized ma
tons Of the past die out because they
were blonde and therefore untitled for
the regions in which they aourished?
DR.. Charles b. Woodruff, surgeon in
the United States army, who has writ
ten book on the subject, believes
that this was the case. He maintains
that too much light is injurious to
white races through its actinic or
chemical effects. from which the dark
SKIN pigments of swarthy races pro-
tect them. Thus he explains why, by
survival OF the f1ttest, dark races are
found in tropical lands, why Euro
peans have always failed to colonize
the tropics and why blondes disappear
when they migrate southwark. Says
reviewer in the Edinburgh Medical
Journal: "The blonde and intelligent
rulers Of regions suited better for
more swarthy inhabitants have regu-
larly in the course of ages died out,
while their subjects, thoroughly &C
climatized to their domicile, remain.
Egypt has been the theater of immi-
grafton Of intellectual races over and
over again; in each case these dis
appeared and civilization decayed,
though the native fellah survived and
survives. There will the author
predicts, never be another dark age,
for the present Aryan conquerors rule
it from London and are not coloniz-
ers.' While the blonde type of man
kind requires for its evolution cold,

Michigan, to the coal mines Of I'LL.
.nois, Missouri and Kansas, on to the
gold and silver lodes of Colorado and
Utah, and finally to the miners para
disc Of Butte, where eight hours is the
days work and $1O5 the monthly
wage.
Beyond, the Butte miner has his
eyes fixed on Alaska. Butte is but q
way station on the road to Cape
Meme.
Butte has public library and
churches that rank well with similar
institutions in any American city.
They are well patronized by the min
ers. It has beautiful and costly public
building, hotels, business blocks and
private residences. r.
Butte is rightly called the Gibraltar
of trades unionism. Every conceiy.
able occupation is organized, frem the
pin boys in the bowling alleys ana the
shoe blacks on the streets to the re.
porters on the daily papers, all are
organized. Wages are high. Plumb

5of various degrees OF intensity up "
absolute blackness is alone adapteu
Z for lasting existence in most regions
of the world"
There is too much sunshine IN the
United States and none OF the races
that have come to this country until
recently is adapted to the climate,
DR.. Woodruff thinks, except the Jews.
All the rest are degenerating from e2-
cessive light. The lower Mediterran-
can races, however, are now Hooking
over, and if the blonde types die out
as they did in Greece and Italy during
the decadence of these two countries,
United States history may repeat
theirs, though Dr. Woodruff believes
that the northern types may survive
in sufficient numbers to prevent the
destruction of the republic provided
it takes warning and limits the fran
chise to the races represented by
these types.
About seven centuries were re-
quired, according to DR.. Woodruff, for
the climate of Greece to destroy its
blondes. In 500 B. c.. the period OF
it's greatest literary glory, the deca-
dence of the Greeks was already evil
dent and shows itself to-day in their
literature and art. DR.. Woodruff
points out how ancient Greek statues
exhibit many of the stigmata of de-
generacy; even famous head of Juno
has arrested development of the jaw
and is 'the head of dying race. -
