COLONEL Jim HAMS" TITLE

CEATTLE is full of stories of Colonel James
~ Hamilton Lewis, the present chief of the
staff of Chicago's Mayor. 1t was in Seattle
that Colonel g i'm Ham, as he is known rose
to his first heights criminal lawyer and
where his persistency won him well-nigh as
much hatred from the Judges then on the
bench as it did admiration from the clients
for whom he pleaded and the on-lookers.
Even in those early days Colonel g Jim
Ham" had way of making friends which
was all his own. One of these stories tells of
how he won the love of the newsboys of the
western city.
Seattle was much smaller when Colonel
" Jim Ham" of its citizens than it is
now. 1t had less of the city airs than it has
acquired since that time, and the appearance
of silk hat on the streets a matter
not to be overlooked by the urchins who sold
the news of the day. 1t was their habit to
line up along the street, and when silk-hatted
man appeared mighty yell of Take it off! !"
rent the air.
Some of the lawyers of the growing city had
reached the sl,:-hatted stage, among them
Colonel Jim Ham," and the neighborhood of
the court house was one of the boys favorite
fields of labor.
1t happened one day that Judge passed

when prices are good. That is why Embark has
seven children to sell to-day, and the owners
have put in those little ones who are not ready
to be sold, because he will get better price
now than they may chance to get later.
In any case l remarked, the French
have stopped the child stealing"
Do not say stopped" said Hadj Hamed,
for children are still stolen, and if they can.
not be found in one place they are found in
another by understanding people. Did you
not notice just now that little girl who is,
suppose, about fourteen, fetch eighty dollars'
What do you think it costs to steal slave
that such things should not be done by poor
men! He who is found stealing children sees no
more light" and changed the subject leaving
me to guess whether such crime was punished
by blindness or perpetual Imprisonment.
The sale was now nearly at an end. Only
here and there had | noticed distinct sugges-
lions OF depression, anxiety, anger. Per-
haps the slaves felt that no change in their
state was likely to be bad one, because the
fallen aUdseer had an evil reputation, and was
one of the few masters whose cruelty to his
house - was notorious throughout city that
is not given to concerning itself with such mat
tiers.
Prices, as far as could see, had been good,
IN several instances over hundred dollars
Cifteen pounds in English money at the then
current rate of exchange) had been paid for
the best slaves, and few had been sold for less
than forty dollars. One negro woman broke
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-08-26

and men and women who would never see their
fiftieth birthday again, and everybody in
charge of them seemed to be animated by feel
ings in which neither kindness nor cruelty had
any part at all.
AS an auctioneer passed with his charges, he
called to the assembled buyers and babe them
make an offer In little while some intending
purchaser would beckon him, and then his line
would come to halt and group itself on one
side or another to allow the following lines to
move forward without hindrance. The buyer
would point out the particular slave he sought,
and the dial would beckon that slave forward.
Man, woman, or child the procedure never
varied. The slave kissed the hand of the in
tending purchaser, and waited impassively
while questions relating to age, physical con-
dition, and service record asked and
answered Sometimes man felt the biceps of
a slave before purchase, and in nearly all cases
some examination of the teeth was a prelimi
nary of purchase.
The Moors, explained Hadj Hamed, set
great store by the teeth. If slaves teeth are
sound, they believe that there can be nothing
radically wrong with the general health, and
in country where SO many western diseases
are conspicuously absent this may be true.
AS soon as the intending purchaser was salts
fed with the qualities of the slave offered, he
raised the price that had been offered pre-
viously, and the dial, with thanks to Sid bel
Abbas, who sent good business, collected his
scattered group once more, and continued his

parade round the market. If after
another round or two no higher
price was offered, the slave was
sold.
The further procedure was SIM
pie. The purchase was put in
the charge of one of the buyers
servants, while the buyer himself,
if he had no further purchase to
make, went to the gateway and
paid certain amount on account
of his bargain. If he proposed
to buy still more slaves, he re-
manned in his place till he had all
he required, and then paid the
substantial deposit that is de-
manded. That being done and
the transaction ended, he would
be free to take his slaves with
him, and the balance of the price
would be demanded of him on the
following day or a day or two
after, when he had verified all the
statements that the dial had
made on behalf of the former
owner of the slave. The dial
ana MS employer, explained my
mentor, were bound by the de-
scriptions given in the market
place
OF all the dilals who tramped
round and round the market with
an ever diminishing train of
slaves, the leader of the group,
he who had prayed, attracted my
attention most. He was in
charge of the greater part of the
children offered for sale, and he
held two very little ones by the
hand, while others followed him.
There were many children in
that mans house." l remarked
to Hadj Hamed.
No" he replied, they are
not his Embark, who has those
little ones, is not selling slaves of
that house. These are children
bred in the town for the market"
l asked for further explanation
1T is simple matter" replied
Hadj Hamed in a tone that sug-
gested his complete approval of
what he had to saw. THE
