CAUSE OF SUICIDE.
Avoidance of Physical Labor Is a
Prime Factor.

Avoidance of Physical Labor Is a
Prime Factor.
Throughout the literature Of suicide
one will find that the attitude toward
wage-earning and work is, large fac
! tor in shaping motives. The dread of
being forced to work after a period
of leisure, the mad desire to get money
by trickery and gambling devices, the
scorn with which manual labor is re-
garded by the successful" is empha-
sized by the stories Of the newly rich
become suddenly poor, and who then
deftly escape into the unknown and
live on pensions and polite beggary.
But nothing is surer than that work
Is the primal condition Of health and
the love of life. 1t is the do-nothing,
the fashionable, the retired" the wom-
an freed from necessities and duties,
that are the disease breeders and the
miserables. The attitude of the fash
ionable doctors who minister to this un-
speakable class is not infrequently
blameworthy. They are often encour-
aged by our rest cures, our batteries
and attentions.
The effort to escape from drudgery is
as old as civilization and as ancient
as sayagery. The Investigator sent to
study the problem of putting the ma
tive African negroes to useful work
finds that they simply will not work
Those among the Canadian Doukhobors
who would work found that the ma
lingerers and lazies were about half
and they preferred to live out of the
common treasury supplied by the work.
ers-until the latter determined to abol-
ish the common treasury and to re-
ceive and spend their own wages as
other individuals do.
Our civilization, economically, is
largely device Of the cunning and the
lazy to establish common treasury

CHINESE IN MEXICO.
They Flock There to COntentment
and Prosperity.

They Flock There to Contentment
and Prosperity.
Waa Hong, a prominent Chinese gen.
tleman, who is thoroughly in touch with
affairs in China and with the CONNER
cial transactions going on between that
nation and foreign countries, said that
the attention of China is now being
turned to Mexico and that he knew for
certain that from now on the China
Steamship Company would bring hun
dreds of Chinese monthly from the dis
trict of Canton to Mexico. One Of the
reasons why more Chinese will come
to this country Is that many Chinese,
on being shut out Of the United States,
came here and found that they were
treated much better in Mexico than in
almost any other country, says the
Mexican Herald. In addition to this
they can make a living here easier
than in most other countries, If certain
parts of South America be excepted.
Another reason Is that there Is now
tendency in certain South American
countries to treat the Chinese as they
are now being treated in the United
States. 1t seems almost certain that it
will not be long before the Chinese
will be shut out Of Peru. the country
in South America to which they have
taken the most liking. Should this
happen soon it will turn to this country
the great stream of Chinese which is
now pouring into Peru.
But In Mexico conditions are quite
different. Here the Chinese are needed
very much as laborers. The Chinaman
Is of very independent character, and
he Is not tied TO any one spot by bonds
of kinship or sentiment. He will go
wherever he finds most pay for his
work. Contractors, farmers and fac
tory owners who are badly in need of
laborers will go far and pay more than
the average wage if they can get the
men they need. Big contractors are
willing to pay higher wages in order
to finish up their contracts soon and
take others. Thus the coming Of the
Chinese to Mexico means exactly the
opposite to the laborer here to what
it does to the laborer in the United
States. Here the Chinaman is the one
who raises the price Of labor. This
explains why the Chinaman in Mexico
is not looked down upon by the laboring
class.
But in Peru the Chinaman is not by
any means so fortunate. There on va
rious occasions lately very vigorous
demonstrations have been made against
him. Recently a violent demonstra-
ton was made against a large body of
Chinese who arrived at the port of
Callao. At the present time there is a
bill before the parliament of that coun-
try introduced by very prominent
LIBERAL the provisions Of which ask for
the exclusion from the country Of Chi
nese Of the laboring classes. The quar-
rel there Is the same as that Of the
United States. For in Peru, the Chi
nese work for lower wages than the
native laborers in the towns and large
cities.

HUMAN HAND IN ROCK.

Farm Boy Makes Peculiar Discovery
In Boulder on South Dakota Land.
Ralph Bagby, farm boy residing
with his parents near Okobojo, Sully
county, recently made a peculiar find
in the Fox Ridge country, south OF the
Missouri river. He was working in
that section helping build pasture
fences, and found large boulder
which he says weighed about 500
pounds. In this were set many fossil
specimens of fishes, turtles and lower
orders of life of what is believed by
those who have seen some of the spe-
cimens to have been Of the Mesozoic
age.
He began breaking the specimens
out of the rock, and down in the center
of it found a perfectly formed human
hand and wrist, and about the wrist
was a metallic circlet to which was at
tached a cross. He broke the rock
down to size in which he could bring
1t home, leaving about twenty-five
pounds attached to the specimen,
which he has at his home.
Several reliable parties who know
nothing of the geological phase OF the
matter, say there is no question as to
the existence of the hand, which Is
about the size of an ordinary human
hand, lying open, palm up, about half
Embedded in the rock, with the metallic
circlet about the wrist. This circlet is
supposed to be copper or similar ma
terial as it has taken polish at
points which have been tested since
the find. 1t may be natural forma-
ton instead Of a petrfied hand, but
even at that the metallic Gil clet makes
it rare find.
Those who have seen the specimen
say they do not believe that anything
of this kind could be manufactured,
as half the formation is imbedded in
the rock. Whatever the young man
has found, be it natural formation or
petrified hand, he has specimen
which will excite the curiosity OF
students of geology and archaeology.

Elevator Company Says It Does Not
Get Its Share.

Elevator Company Says It Does Not
Get Its Share.
A number Of matters of Importance
were disposed of during the regular
monthly meeting of the state board OF
railroad commissioners which has just
been held at the headquarters OF the
commission in Sioux Falls.
The board considered a question
which during the remainder OF the
grain shipping period may cause con-
siderable friction between the elevator
men and railroad companies having
lines in this state. The matter was
called to the attention of the board by
the Farmers Elevator company OF
belmont, Douglas county.
The elevator has been in the habit
Of charging / cent per bushel for load
ing grain into cars, the elevator COM
pany acting as loading agent for farm
ers in that locality who desire to ship
grain to market on their own RESPONSE
bility and lease cars for that purpose.
The farmers take their grain to the
elevator company, and instead OF SELL
ing it outright to the elevator COM
pany, simply engage the services OF
the company to load the grain into
cars.
The scarcity OF cars already is caus-
ing both the railroads and the shippers
a great deal of annoyance, and the
r.i1rool oopo hovn hpon
striving to minimize the trouble by
having the railroads distribute cars
with view to first supplying the
points where the cars are most needed.
In the case of belmont, the eleva.
tor company HAS complained to the
railroad commissioners that it could
not get it's required number Of cars,
but the railroad company claims that
it has furnished the elevator in ques-
tion with cars, and asserts that the
cars which have been rented by farm
ers for individual shipments and load
ed at the elevator must be charged up
to that particular elevator, and that
the railroad commissioners shall give
the railroad company credit for having
delivered the cars to the elevator in
compliance with orders.
The elevator company, on the other
hand, claims that the cars rented or
leased by farmers for private ship
ments should not be charged up to the
elevator company, because they arc
not loaded with grain purchased by
the elevator, the grain with which the
cars are loaded being simply stored in
the elevator and shipped by the farm
ers individually.
The elevator company further claims
that the charging up Of the leased
cars to the elevator deprives the eleva-
tor OF cars which 1t would .oad with
its own grain. The elevator company
asks the railroad commissioners to
have additional cars in which it may
load its own grain supplied to 1t by the
railroad company. When the railroad
commissioners make ruling on the
question 1t will be of considerable i'm
portance, as it is believed that many
other elevators in the state make a
similar practice of acting merely as
loading agents for farmers who wish
to ship their grain as individuals and
not dispose of 1T to the elevator COM
