The Joy OF Poverty.

From Harper's Weekly: 1t is COM
mon to hear people wish FOR great
riches, even common to hear fairly
wise people, who having seen some
thing of the world, shrink from so
unworthy demand, wish for few
thousands more than they have, fond
ly believing, against all evidence,
that they can buy Herewith freedom
from care and things; but real free
dom is poverty. The best way to
avoid the care of silver and fine
dishes and table napkins is not to
have them, and the lifting Of spirit,
the buoyancy Of mind that results
from even temporary release from
Ownership, ought almost to give us
courage to pray for yearly conflgra-
tiOn.
The great things in the world, the
necessary and the truly beautiful, are
always 'Tis only God can be had for
the asking free. AS the poet says:
There is no price set upon the air
and sky, space to walk in and water
to bathe in; the open vision, the un-
encum bered mind, these are the gifts
of poverty. Everyone admits in a
half-hearted way that life Is too COM
pick to be pleasant, but few take
selves of the complexity. For things
have power. If we live with them
too much we fall unsuspectingly into
their power, and as old age comes
over us, unless we are vigilant and
wary, we find we cannot live without
shelter and blankets and three plenti-
ful meals day. Think Of all that
person misses in life who has never
known the joys Of hunger and thirst
and weariness and exposure! Few
gifts can rival them In benefcence.
Thoreau never needed a fire, because
when he got cold he carried coal up
and down stairs till he was warm.
The real virtue Of riches is that
they add to the picturesqueness of
life. Millionaires and even semi
millionaires do great deal towards
frightening the landscape, and we
ought not only to suffer them to live,
but to be grateful to them. Who
would willingly miss the gay pageant
down Fifth avenue on a spring after
noon, and reduce the beautiful city
with it's glad decoration of we'll
dressed people to the gray level Of the
willing poor? No; the world is best
constituted as it is, with all the vari-
cites of people, and all the varying
scales of being and of dressing.
Only let the man not yet doomed
to being millionaire realize that,
like the purple cow, it is better seen
than to be one. And Joy, after all, is
really and truly not to be bought
with money, nor to be found in any
distant corner Of the earth, but is,
in deed, as the sages have known in
all ages, the kingdom of heaven with
In.

Annie Kepney, lnsurgent.

The Woman's Social and Political
Union OF England is appealing for
1000 pounds to keep Annie Kenney
in the field. w. T. Stead, in the
Review of Reviews says "Not for a
hundred times 1000 pounds could we
replace Annie Kenney."
1t would appear, therefore, that
not everybody in England agrees
with those who contend that Miss
Kenney's actions, which led to her
imprisonment, have put the woman
sufferage movement back quarter
of century. The girl promised her
mother when the latter lay dying
that she would never submit to in
justice without protest, and she Is
keeping her word.

CCommunioated3 THE ANTI-BOYCOTT LAW AND FELIX E. BLACKBURN

To the Voters of JefersnnI County:
 In the recent primary. I lacked little over one hundred votes Of securing the nomination for the legislature I was ono of the highest three who failed of noml- nation. My vote was very gratifying con- sldering the relentless fight which has been waged against me by the Labor Advocate, and the question now has re- solved itself Into wnstncr or lot the Labor Advocate shall dictate to the voters of this county who our legislators are to be VIII any fair-mlnded man. whether he carries a card or not sanction such unwarranted, mean attacks as the follow Ing; Every man who votes for Felix F. Blackburn and l.. J. Haley are foes to the interest of organized labor"
 Labor Advocate. September 8. 1906.
 Union men, the time has come to act. Go to the polls on the 17th and east your ballot for men favorable to unionism and keep Felix F.. Blackburn and L. J. Haley at home These are the men who voted for the anti-boycott bill and now main tain that 1t is Q good law"
 Labor Advocate. September 8. 19A6.
 "A vote for Felix D. Blackburn and T.. l Haley is a vote for the foes of labor" Union men, go to the polls on the 17th inst. and vote against Felix E. Blackburn and L. J. Haley, our common enemy "The Labor Advocate hopes that every card man in Jefferson county will go to the polls on September r and cast his vote for Ben r. Barbour, John T. Glover and J. C. King and also ask his friends to do likewise. and that Messrs. Blackburn and Haley will be defeated by such an over whelming majority that they will not be heard from again in Jefferson county pol- ties"
 Labor Advocate. September s, 1906.
 But the following editorial Is the grand climax:
 During the last session of the Ala bama legislature. when the vote on tho anti-boycott bill was being taken, a mem her from Jefferson county. MT. Felix r.

Indians Who Take to the Woods at the
 Sight of White Men.
From Modern Mexico.

From Modern Mexico
 An American who has spent several years in the state of Chiapas. Mexico, says the Caribes are the most primitive Indians in southern Mexico
 Their clothing is made of bark fibre, and bows and arrows are their only weapons The bows are five feet or more in length: the arrows are well made and feathered with bright col ored plumage. By means of arrows having a ring on them they manage to stun birds so as to take them alive, while fish are obtained by means of very long arrows. barbed all the way.
 These people are timid and gentle, running out of their huts to hide if any stranger comes near. Few of them know any Spanish. and even these spokesmen rarely visit town, once in two or three years seeming to satisfy them.
 The Zapotecan Indians on the west coast seem in all respects the finest of ali the tribes. and they certainly are the handsomest. When the girls Of the tribe wish to show great courtesy or respect they reply to any question by singing the answer, using any notes they wish.
 Another race called Lamachiks are as timid as the Caribes. If traveller passing through the country wishes 10 stay all night they will say, We have no room. Got a big family and some friends are coming to stay all night, Go on to the next place-they will 1 keep you"
 A man can ride thirty miles and hear the same story at each place he stops The only way one can do is to go in and put down his traps and order l the mozo to stake out the horses. If they complain, tell them to get out A piece of money left in the house next morning will heal all wounds Often they run off to the brush and drive their pigs and chickens before them there to remain hidden until the intruders have departed.
 Some curious customs may be ob- served among these people. One Of these is "barrido" Literally, "a sweepng") For instance, when a man is dangerously sick his wife will make Q "barrido," hoping in this way to save his life.
 She kills a fat pig, makes great quantity of tortillas, tamales, pichol, etc. and asks all their friends to the feast Naturally they are never 10th to accept, and the feasting goes on for several days. They sweep the house and yard. and even the road, spotlessly clean. and sweep, and sweep.
 Then a new cross is put up at the road to keep away the diablo. If the man does not seem to improve they will do more sweeping, and put up another cross at another road or path.

 Now let 1t be remembered that these uncalled for attacks are being kept Up by the Labor Advocate after the United Labor League of Alabama had passed the following resolution: Resolved, That we the United Labor League of Alabama, do not ask any candidate to pledge himself 10 repeal the anti-boyeott law. as we have no objections to its remaining on the statute books of Alabama" The same resolution was adopted by the Birming- ham Trades Council These resolutions emanated from the sober second thought of the conservative leaders of organized la bor after they saw the wise and hene- ficial results of the law. They no doubt realized that the law was wholesome check on the spirit of bgotry and intol- erance of such men as inspire the attack pn me in the Labor Advocate. who. if left alone 10 pursue their methods of violent and forcihle interference with the liberty and property rights of those who disa- gree with them, would soon wreck their great and powerful unions and bring them into disrepute and popular condemnation. Those who are always prating and eharg ing others of being enemies of organized labor. are themselves the worst enemies which organized'labor have Men of Jef- ferson county. 1t is up to you. Will you come out 10 the polls on the 17th and boldly and fearlessly do your duty as did those who took part in enaeting this very beneficial law. The test ls not near as severe on you as 1t was on us in Montgomery. It is not the personnel of the candidate; t is the issue l shall con fldently and willingly await your decision.

DROWNs SELF AND 3 BABES.
Woman Throws Little Ones from
Steamers Deck and Plungcs After.

Fall River, Mass, Feb. 22.-Mrs.
John w. Waters, of No. 279 King
ton Avenue, Brooklyn, threw her
three children from the deck of the
steamer Plymouth, of the Fall River
line, and leaped after them. The
open door Of her stateroom, clothes
Uttered on the floor and letters led
to the discovery.
Investigation by the officers on the
steamer indicates that the tragedy
occurred between midnight and half
past three in the morning, the fact
of the staterOom being unoccupied
having been discovered just before
the Plymouth made the Newport
landing.
The finding Of two notes written
by the woman and addressed to her
husband, indicated tragedy. In
one, pencillcd on the back of an en-
yelope, she begged forgiveness: in
the other, written on wrapping pa
per, she said That she had worried"
until She feared insanity and could
not bear to leave the children.
