they're arranged properly, but they

Did we learn our rule Of three and

have been framed from observations
made not less than 5000 years before
the Christian era, and If this opinion
be well founded the science Of geom-
etry must have been cultivated in, In

that 1t never came down again. At

and the Austrian government offered
prize Of 500 ducats to any one who
could make, a key that would turn the
bolt In the lock without breaking it. \
Many have tried to win the prize,
but nobody has won it. Eventually It
became the practice among the con-

the heads Of some Of the nails boar

THE POLITICAL AMBITION OF
NEGROES.

The top-heavy editor of the New
York Times throws three . fits and
gives the Conanche yell Deca use~of a
report emanating from WASHINGTON
to the effect that the Negroes had or
ganlZed for their political protection
and that such organization extended
into and embraced every ward where
Negroes are allowed the ballot. This
report also conveyed the information
that under no circumstances would
the Negroes let up in the opposition
either to the plan of Theodore
Roosevelt or the political ambition Of
rotund and smiling Mr.. Taft. 1t
would seem that the father Of all
this enlightenment is none other and
none less than the busy Mr.. w. Cal
vim Chase, lawyer, editor, and candi-
date.
