THE RAVEN is ARTFUL.
Some Stories That Are Told Illustrating
His Cleverness

some Stories That Are Told Illustrating
His Cleverness.
Many stories are told of the clever
ness or the raven, bird that really
seems to have reasoning powers, says
the Philadelphia Times. One of these
tells how a raven by a skillful strata
gem got young hare for it's dinner,
but the mother hare drove it away.
Then the raven slowly retreated, en-
couraging the mother to follow him
and even pretending that he was
afraid OF her. In this fashion he led
her to considerable distance from the
young one, and then suddenly, before
the hare had time to realize the mean
ing of the trick, he rose in the air, flew
swiftly back, caught the young hare in
his beak and bore it away. A similar
plan was adopted by some ravens that
wished to steal food from a dog. They
teased him until he grew so angry that
he chased them from the spot, but the
artful birds turned sharply around,
easily reached the dish before him and
carried off the choicest bits in tri-
umph. AS to the ravens power of
speech, the following story, which is
given on the authority of Capt. Brown,
who vouches for its truth, will show
how aptly it can talk: A gentleman
while travelling through a wood in the
south of England was startled by hear
ing shout of ''Fair play, gentlemen;
fair play!" uttered in loud tones. The
cry being presently repeated, the trav-
eler thought it must proceed from
some one in distress and at once be-
gan to search for him. He soon dis
covered two ravens fiercely attacking
a third. He was so struck with the ap-
peal of the oppressed that he promptly
rescued him. It turned out that the
victim was tame raven belonging to
house in the neighborhood, and the
cry that it had used so opportunely
was one of many that it had been
taught to utter.

Put to Test.

Both in the northern and western is
lands of Scotland the natives have
some peculiar customs unfamiliar to
the dwellers of the main land. One of
these, known as the marriage test"
is practiced in the island of St. Kilda,
where the population barely exceeds a
hundred. The desire among the is
landers to increase this number does
not seem to be exceptionally strong,
and every man before he is deemed
suitable for husband has to perform
an evolution with no little bodily risk.
The st. Kildans are, of course, adept
rock climbers, and the aspirant for
matrimony is therefore subjected to
the test of balancing himself on one leg
on a narrow ledge overhanging preci-
pice, bending his body at the same
time in order to hold the foot of his
other leg in his hands. If found lack
ing in courage the maiden withdraws
her betrothal, and should the man fall
over the ledge it is presumed that, in
his case he will be disqualified.

ADDRESS,
To the President of the United State
Presented by Committee Thursd,v

To the President of the United States.
Presented by Committee Thursday.
To the President,
White House,
Washington, D. c.
We deplore the condition of affairs
IN this country which makes it neces-
sary to come to you as the Chief Ex-
ecutive Of this Nation great in ma
terlal resources but sadly lacking in
It's regard for human rights and appre-
clatlon OF human life, to ask your aid
in stemming the wave of lawlessness
which is now sweeping over the land.
lhree especially horrible cases of
lawlessness have occurred in the
United States within a few weeks:
AT Springfield, Ohio, where innocent
people in no way connected with or
suspected of crime, were driven from
their homes and their habitations
destroyed by fire.
AT Chattanooga, Tenn, where a
man charged with crime was lynched
by an orderly mob of the best citi-
zens' in defiance Of a mandate of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
granting stay of proceedings and,
At Springfield, Mo-, where on Easter
Sunday morning innocent men were
murdered by mob.
At mass meeting of the citizens of
Chicago, held at the suggestion of the
A. M. E. Minister'S Association, the
undersigned were appointed COM
mittee to proceed to Washington and
call your attention to the above-men-
toned state of affairs and ask that
YOU give the weight of your powerful
influence to the creation of a public
sentiment which will render impos-
sible the occurrence of such lawless-
ness
We request that at the earliest pos
sible moment you wiH make a person
al appeal to the conscience of the
American people calling their atten-
tion to the fact that defiance of the
law and disregard for the rights of
all the people, menace the very life of
the Nation.

Roses and Yiolats.

The scent Of the sweetest rose be-
comes noxious and the humble violet
seems to be scoWling up at you from
under its eyebrows when you know
that these flowers and their fellows are
indebted to the deadly microbes for
their colors and scents. The delicate
pink Of the Rothschild rose is COM
posed of the bodies of thousands of the
identical microbes which bring death
through consumption to so many Of
our friends and relations. The violet
and pansy get their odor from the can
Ger microbe, the tulip from the gout
germ, and the geranium from the scar
Leftover bacillus. Likewise, every
time you inhale the scent of any flower
you are in reality gulping down
mouthful after mouthfu1 of some ter
rible disease. There is no way Of dis
injecting flowers, as they are actually
composed of microbes, and if you take
the latter away no flower is left.
The Appeal., 1906-04-28

The following is said to be a brief
but comprehensive statement of the
policy of one faction of the socialists.
THE organization of a working class
political party for the purpose of cap
turing the powers of government in
the interest of the working class, with
the aim of transferring all means of
production and distribution from pri-
vate to collective ownership and dis
t1nct from and opposed to all parties
who stand for the maintenance of the
competitive system.
THE APPEAL has no sympathy
whatever with class legislation in the
interest of the working Glass; or any
other class. This country has already
had damnable amount of class leg
islation of the most damnable kind.

ABOUT IN this way: There is a certain

plays the races, and, needless to say. is
hrm believer in hoodooes and mascots.
Some time ago he made big winning
after long streak of hard luck. and
In looking around for the usual omen

wearing peculiarly hideous yellow
barred shirt, which he had always
loathed and had put on that morning
Dy mere accident in hasty dressing.
VI course that settled it, and when he
made two Or three other winnings in

dare change it for fear of breaking the
thread of his luck Meanwhile the
shirt did not improve in appearance.
In fact, it became so grimy and dis
reputable looking that it's owner, who
is naturally neat dresser, was
ashamed to venture on the streets. He
started several times to send it to the
laundry, but on each occasion some
thing good would turn up on the
blackboard and he would rush to his
room and put it on again before plac-

troubles to one of our wagon men. II

the nine gods he would have it back in

to say that the sporty gentleman lost
$3.50 the same day. He attributes the
disaster entirely to his imprudence in

Peculiarly Of Snakes.

A snake tanner who had trained a
serpent to follow him around the house
and even out Of doors happened one
day to take it with him to a strange
place. The snake, unused to the local
1ty, suddenly seemed to forget all his
training, and escaping into the bushes,
resisted capture with bites and every
indication of Wi1dness. When caught
1t at once Resumed its tame habits. The
tendency to become wild Immediately
upon obtaining their freedom and to
again become tame when caught is said
to be a peculiarity Of snakes.
