Taking His Medicine.

Ex-Mayor Belcher of Paterson, y. j.,
had spent all of his hard. stolen
money and could not afford to build a
private jail with hot and cold water,
steam heat and a magnificent view, so
he was obliged to patronize the same
lowly institution where tramps hold
forth.
1t must be hard on an ey-mayor to
go to Jail, as he no longer has foun-
tain pen in one hand and the pardon
ing power in the other. There is the
greatest chance in the world for him to
see how it is himself, and what he sees
isn't apt to be a sight particularly sat
isfying and peculiarly restful to the
eyes.
When a mayor is stealing the city
blind and his dearest friends deaf and
dumb he doesn't think about this, and
while by the time he goes to Jail he
has lost much of his capacity for feel
ing, still he can notice the difference
between the visit to that place and q
Sunday school picnic.

HOW DID SHE GET THERE?
Angels? At ANY Rate She Was Found
Fast Asleep at Night in an
Awning.

Marion. Ind, Aug. 81. = Mrs. Clara
Bradford, 80 years old, was found
asleep in an awning in front of gro
Gerry by Harry Mcclellan and George
Patterson, who were passing by. The
woman was apparently unconscious
and the police were summoned. After
trying to remove Mrs. Bradford by
means of Il step-ladder without success
1t was found necessary to go upstairs
to her room, force open the door and
lift her up through the window.
Mrs. Bradford was not aroused until
carried back into her room. She said
she did not know how she got out of
her window into the awning, but said
she dreamed Of falling from a high
building. Apparently she was unin-
jured by her fall.

ROUGH ON THE OFFICERS
Court Martial Verdict That Is Regard.
ed as just Might Be Made
Less Severe,

London, Aug. 21.-The court marital
which tried Captain Thomas B. S.
Adair and Lieutenant Jas H. Dathan,
respectively the commander and navi-
eating officer of the British battleship
Montagu, which went ashore off Shut
ter Point, Lundy island, May 80, has
severely reprimanded both officers and
dismissed them from their ship and
in the case of Lieutenant Dathan de-
prived him of two years seniority.
The verdict is regarded as just and
as having been inevitable, by all the
London morning newspapers, but great
sympathy is extended 10 Captain Adair
and Lieutenant Dathan on account of
the admittedly difficult circumstances
OF the case and they are considered
to be the victims of i'll fortune rather
than of carelessness. Both officers have
excellent records.

Humor Qna Philosophy
BY DUNCAN N. SMITH
TIE YELLOW DOG.

II is all right
For every dog
To have his day.
So they say,
And maybe that IS right
Bright
People admit IT.
And thfSs makes 1t so.
Yes2 No?
Well, anyway
The dog will have hts day
II he has 20 wait until night
To get It
Isn't that right7
And we are willing he should
II II does him any good
Let him take a week
In fact.
II he can dodge the dog catcher
And the sausage man.
There is no reason why
He shouldn't take all the time
There IS
II he can use 1t IN his biz.
But II wasn't every dog
We started out
To talk about;
It was one specific gentleman
Who is no gentleman
And Is called
For short
A yellow dog,
Though what the dog has done
To deserve IL
Is hard to see.
The fall elections
Are upon us.
Never fear. they won't hurt US,
But here is where
The yellow dog
Steps in
And brazenly demands his day.
Don't,
We beg of you,
Give 1t to him.

NEGROES WILL LEAVE
Washington Has Ordered White
Men to Fort Brown, Near
Brownsville, Tex.
REPORT OF AN INVESTIGATOR
Gives Facts Indicating the Way the
Black Soldiers Were Treated
Before the Tragedy.

Washington. Aug 21.-Orders have
been issued by the military secretary,
Major General f. c. Ainsworth, for
the transfer of the colored troops from
Fort Brown, Tex. where there has
been serious trouble between citizens
and soldiers. to Fort Ringgold, Tex.
which is about 100 miles above Fort
Brown and is also on the Rio Grande.
The company ordered to Fort Brown
is made up of white men. This shift
ing about of troops was made subse-
quent TO a report from Major c. w.
PenroSe on the situation at Fort
Brown, and after an appeal by Senator
Culberson to President Roosevelt. In
his report Major Penrose says he was
persuaded that the killing of one citi-
zen in Brownsville and the wounding
of another were the work of soldiers,
although he has been unable as yet to
discover who the guilty men are.
Subjected to Indignities.
OF the attitude Of the citizens of
Brownsville toward the negro soldiers,
Major Penrose says: THAT the en-
listed men have been subjected TO in
dgnities since their arrival here, there
can be no doubt. and this has caused
a good deal of feeling among them
The one case TO which | attribute this
| outbreak l will make the subject Of an
official report as soon as John W.Vann.
the collector of customs, returns to the
city"
Case That Is Referred To.
Major Penrose then outlines brief
/ ~ the case in question. Privates New
ton ard Lipscumb were passing along
a walk on Aug. 5, where some women
were standing engaged IN conversation
with a man named Tate, who is en-
/ ployed in the customs office The ne
gro privates walked single file between
the women and fence. Tate knocked
Newton down with the butt of a re-
volver, and is reported TO have said
'Fll learn you to get off the sidewalk
when there is a party of ladies on the
walk" When Newton rose Tate is said
to have covered him with the revolver
commanding: Damn you, leave. or
will blow your brains out" This ac
count of the affair is corroborated by
LipScumb.
