was little hope Of decision. The ju,

Wanted !.

We want to buy within the next
three weeks all the cows, sheep,
goats, hogs, chickens, geese, tur-
keys, ducks, guineas, eggs, but
ter, etc., for sale in Lancaster
county, and will pay the highest
cash price for same. Our busi-
ness has increased to such an ex-
tent that we find it difficult to
keep enough meat to supply our
trade, and for this reason we are
paying a little better price than
other folks for cattle, poultry,
etc. So if you have anything in
this line for sale, bring it along
and bring it quick. We also
want to buy corn, peas, green
and dry hides. Highest cash
price paid for all.
We wish to say to our trade
that we are prepared to deliver
anything you want in the meat
line. Handling so many beeves
a day enables you to get your
choice cut. We also handle fish
and oysters.

hundred years ago there lived a
tribe of people called the Angles.
Not far southeast of here lived
another tribe called the Saxons.
Where they came from into this
territory is not known with any
degree of certainty. There are
those who believe that they were
defendants of the lost tribes of
Isreal, and there are reasons for
so believing. They we're hardy,
adventurous people and many
of them pushed on westward,
crossed the North Sea into Br:-
tain, later the Atlantic into Amer
lea, and today their descendants
are found in every cline. Wheth-
er or not they were o. the peo-
pie to whom were committed
the oracles of God, may always
rest in conjecture. But, certain
it is, the Anglo Saxon people are
today the ones who are going in.

with them the light of civiliza-
ton and christianity. May not
this great race be of the CHOSEN
people!
The people who occupy this
territory now are fusion OF
Frisian-SaXon blood. They are
the pure Caucasian, with blue
eyes, light hair and rosy cheeks.
In the crisp air of the early
morning their cheeks are red.
They are of a serious turn of
mind and laugh but little. Bu-
siness is business with them.
They are dominated by the COM
mercial idea, and Bremen is tie
second largest port in Germany,
the largest being near by on the
Elbe and built up by the same
kind ofspeople. The annual i'm
ports at this place amount to
over 1925, 100000, OF which four
fifths ia raw cotton from the
Southern States. The city claims
to stand next to Liverpool as i'm

These people are our kin folks

On the market square stands a
monument to Johann Smidt

a kinsman of all the Smiths in

is to be proud of them, for they

Beer is for sale at about every
other house. If on the ground

will be, "Bier Keller" or "Beir
Tunnel" Beer is usually sold
by young women. l did. not learn
whether or not that occupation
diminished their chances of mar

to the popularity of the bever-
age in Germany.
All men engaged in the public
service must wear uniforms.
Those in one branch wear
blue, those in another wear
green, those in another brown,
etc. Judging from the number
of uniforms worn, it look like a
fourth of the male population is
engaged in public service. But
the railroads, express, telegraph
and telephone are all operate d
by the government, as we'll as
the postal system. Like wise,
the street cars belong to the pub,

The court system is not so
simple as ours. The civil and
criminal courts are kept sepa
rate. Juries decide by majority
verdict. Under their system there
is no such thing as one man
| having as much sense as his
eleven associates and preventing
decision of issues. If litigant
is too poor to employ lawyer he
is given one in both civil and
criminal matters.
The imperial government owns
and operates the telegraph, tele-
phone and express business as a
part of the postal department of

| i DO.
The German way of admins
tering public affairs has a few
things similar to ours, but 1t
would require book to point
out the differences. There is
little system or uniformity. We
are accustomed to associate with
the German Empire the idea OF
great strength and power. That
is true so far as we are concern
ed. AS to third parties it is
great, but inside tof Germany it
is small potato. When it comes
to home affairs, each State is all
powerful and the imperial gov
erument mere safeguard against
foreign powers. National inter
ference in State matters and
Federal injunctions are unheard
eff. When the different States
and separate governments were
reunited after the Franco-Prus.
sian war, the union was for mil.
itary strength and self-protec
ton. The States reserved just
about all of their previous pow
ers as independent governments
For instance, Bremen reserved
even the right to designate the
imperial customs officer for this
port, and Bavaria, under its re-
served rights, owns and operates
its own postal system, its tele-
graph, telephone and express
business. The Emperor of Ger
many draws no salary as such,
but only as King of Prussia.
Then certain States or cities are
leagued together and run side
show on their own account. The
Supreme Court o. the State of
Bremen does not even sit in the
State. Bremen. Hamburg and
Lubbock are old Hanseatic cities
and the Supreme Court of the
three holds its sessions in Ham
burg. The judges of this court
are elected from the three cities.
Then, again, the city Of Bremen
is bigger than the State of Bre-
men--that is, the city controls
the State. 1t is the old city idea
of Athens and Rome, and later
of Venice and Genoa. Each
State sends representatives to
Berlin III proportion 10 popula-
tion-Senate as well as House
Bremen sends one Senator and
Prussia about eighteen. The
Senator from Bremen is elected
by the State Senate, and the
mem Der of lower House at Ber.
lin by popular vote.
The State Legislature of Bre.
men is composed of 16 Senators,
elected for life by the lower
House and the Senate. Under
the constitution ten of them
must be lawyers, three merchants
while the calling of three is op-
tional. (The lawyers had a hand
in making that constitution.

BARBER ROBBED.

The Baltimore police are making a
thorough search for two men, who, in
clever manner, fimhsmmed Julius
Greenberg, who conducts a barber shop
on east Fsyette street, OF 81, 900 in gold
coin. The two men told GreeDberg that
they had a plan whereby he could make
from 30 to 60 per cent. on his money,
and that it was sn easy matter. When
Greenberg fuslly investigated bis in.
vestment he found that he had secured
about 40 pounds Of iron washers for his

Sunday last Greeuberg went TO detec-
tive headquarters and said that a mao
came to him and told him that he had
a preparation whereby be could make
old gold look Ike new, and make brass
appear to be gold. Greenberg said he
finally consented to invest in the scheme
because the men told him what great
profits could be realized. Accordingly

men, and together they went TO room

SENATOR sPooNER's SPEECH.

SENATOR SPOONER'S SPEECH.
The dinner OF the Chamber OF Com
merce at the Waldorf Astoria, New York
last night, was enlivtned by speech by
former Senator SpOoner, of Wisconsin
who, without mentioning him by name
pitched into President Roosevelt in
strong fashion. Senator Spooner said
that the constitution had been all right
for the country in times oi war aud
peace up to the last few years. de-
praised the bankers and business men OF
the city, saying they had done more 10
the financial troubles than Congress
could have done There was altogether
too much general criticism of business
men, be said, and corporations were
here to stay, the country under the pres
eut conditions not being able to get on
without them.
Whatever references TO the financial
situation we're made were in hopeful
tone, starting from President Simmons,
who said few words before he an
nouuced the FIRST toast "rhe President
of the United States" Mr.. CortelyOu
was TO have answered to this, but as be
was not there, no one answered to 1t
and the toast was drunk almost in s;-
leDce.
Among other things, Senator SpooDtr
in bis speech said:
al think the people of the United
States ought to think long time before
they allow the commerce of the United
States to be put in straitjacket, TO he
tiqhteued or locseued as some one at
Washington may think best. (APplause.) }
"Let US keep the channels of COM
merce free, allowing no one, corporations
by contract, in unreasonable restraint OF
trade, or any power to obstruct the free
transit Of products and commodities from
STATE 10 State, not only innocuous in
their nature, but necessary to the people.
Frederick the Great said, and it was
great saying: "If | wish to punish a
