A Warming Runner Who Bellows
Like BAN as He Goes.
The sails is a runner who keeps In
front of carriage and warns common
people out of the way and who beats
them with q stick if they Go not hurry
ND about it.
1t is obvious that to do this he must
run quickly Most men when they run
bend their bodies forward and keep
their mouths closed in order to save
their wind. The sails runs with his
shoulders thrown back and trumpet
ing like an enraged elephant. He holds
his long wand at his side like mus
ket anu not trailing IL his hand like 4
walking stick. and he wears a soft
shirt of white stuff and a sleeveless
coat buried in gold lace.
He is a perfect ideal of color and
movement and as he runs he bellows
Ike a bull or roars rs you have heard
lion roar at feeding times in a
menagerie
There are sometimes two Of them
running abreast. dressed exactly alike
and with the upper part of their bodies
as rigid as the wand pressed against
their sides and with the ends OF thell
scarf and the long tassel streaming
out behind.
As they yell and below donkeys and
carriages and people scramble out OF
their way until the carriage they pre-
cede has rolled rapidly By. Only

of occupation and the Egyptian army

THE CHILEAN "YAPPA."
1t Is Similar to the "Lagniappe" of
New Orleans.

Residents of New Orleans and north
ern readers of Cables stories of the
city are familiar with the interesting
and gracious custom of small trades
men Of giving lagniappe. The word,
commonly pronounced 'lanyap,' refers
to the small present which the dealers
make to their customers as sort of
inducement to call again. The custom
is so firmly established that the people
are in the habit of waiting for their
little present after they have made
their purchases, and children ask for
it. Mrs. Hort in her book THE Garden
of the Pacific" describes a similar GUS
tom in Valparaiso. The Chileans, how
ever call the gift 'yappa," which one
readily sees is kindred to the word
used in New Orleans.

ToADS ARE VALUABLE.

According to the agricultural bu-
reau there are less flies and the hun
dreds of other Tarities OF insects this
summer than there has been for many
years The fact is attributed to the
mild weather of last winter. Accord
ing to agriculturists the mild winter
is destructive TO the eggs of the in
sects and flies. Many insect-feeding
birds did not migrate last winter be-
cause of the unusual condition of the
weather and remained to prey upon
insects and their eggs Mildew is de-
structive to the eggs of many kinds
of insects and last winter mildew
prevailed throughout this section of
the country.
Fewer toads were destroyed by the
cold weather than usual, and toads
are estimated as among the val
liable assistants to farmers and grow
ers of fruits and vegetables. Each
toad will devour thousands of insects
during the Summer, and the
kind they relish best are destructive
to crops IT Is estimated that each
toad is worth SIS a year to any
farmer or fruit grower. The agricul-
tural bureau in its publications i'm.
plores the public to refrain from kill
ing toads just the same as they would
a rat catching dog or cat.

GEN, NELSON A. MILES, former
commander-in-ehief of the United

of the canal will in his opinion, be a

If war does come, he said, 1t
will be a struggle for supremacy be-
tween the United States and the
powers of the world,
Gen. Miles admitted that the
struggle he foresees will not come
fro some time. But it is certain soon

In the fall campaign the Demo-
Gratis are in a very peculiar posi-
ton. They are asking that Repub-
lican members of congress be replao-
ed by Democrats but try as they
may they can't offer any reasons
why such a change should be made.
They can't say that the Republican
congress failed in its duty TO the
people and they can't attack the ses-
sion's legislation without condemn
ing themselves, for when it came to
the final vote, after there was no
longer hope in flbustering, they, the
Democrats, voted for the Republican
measures. Consequently the Demo-
cratic candidates for representative
are in a position of asking the de-
feat of the Republican members, at
the same time confessing that the
Republican legislation was wise 1t
is one of the most peculiar cam
paigns ever conducted in this coun-
try. IN JAe ldnuSlluS uI tue ldSt
presidential election several Republi-
cans were swept into congress from
districts that are Democratic under
normal conditions. It is to be eX-
pected that a few thus elected will
be retired But to any one with
faith in the intelligence of the peo-
pie it must seem a certain predic-
tion that the graf majority of the
Republican members will be return
ed. The present Republican major
ity is TO be thanked for putting
through the legislation of the presi-
dent Were the people to turn away
from these faithful representatives
thy would be guilty of an ingrati-
tude that is foreign to American
character. IN voting for the Repub-
lican nominees the people will be
voting for the friends of President
Roosevelt, who are needed in con-
gress during the balance of the adj
ministration Lafayette Journal.

will go into his own private funds to

fifteen trustees involved, and under
the agreement each man will have to

for all the political contributions, and
to bring legal actions against it to OBJ
tain reimbursements.
The abondoment of this plan is in

The attack was delayed six months

priests persuaded their followers that
the government would be unable to
dislodge them from their fortresses
within two years.

the determination o fthe outlaws, aid

MINE WORKERS DISCARD
THE RYAN RESOLUTION
OPERATORS AND MINERS MAY
DEAL BY DISTRICTS
Adoption of Scale Committee Report
Clears Way for Disputants-oper
ators Greatly Pleased Over the
Prospect

BY Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS. March lit can
be stated authortatively that the Off
cials of the United Mine Workers of
America have decided to allow the
Ryan resolution to be eliminated from
consideration, and will act upon the
assumption that the adoption of the
report of the scale committee has
virtually repealed the resolution
which prevented one district from
signing an agreement with the opera
tors until all districts had come to an
agreement. This position of the min
ers' leaders with reference to the Ryan
resolution will enable the operators
and miners to deal by districts, if
there is failure to make an agree
ment for the entire bituminous field.
f. l.. Robbins and other operators
who favor signing by districts, even
IL an advance of wages is given, are
greatly pleased over the position talk
en- by the leaders of the mine workers.
