The Mills Of The Gods.

They never cease to grind, They
grind slowly 1t is true, but the output
is continuous and steady. And they
grind exceedingly fine. There is a ret
ribution justice in all tie universe of
God, both moral and physical. To all
his laws there are penalties. They
must always, sooner or later, be paid.
The violater may enjoy immunity for a
sure. Striking illustrations of this are
seen in exposure and conviction, both at
the bar of justice and that of public
opinion of trust, insurance and other
financial magnates and corportion plum
derers. Men who but year ago were
eminent In financial and social circles
have been sent to prison, paid heavy
fines, sent into exile, died in disgrace,
remorse and shame and driven even to
suicide. The mailed band Of justice has
also dragged United States senators
from their high places and sent them to
dungeons and inflicted heavy fines for
thesr sins. The public conscience so
long dormant. is at last aroused, and is
lifting the veil of financial and official
honor from the lordly forms of the high
est and most opulent. The latest and
most impressive example is that of sem
ator Burton of Kansas. The United
States Supreme Court has denied him
relief. All that money, brains, skill
and social influence could do to forestall
his doom was done, but he was weighed
in the balance and found wanting. and
instead of d senatorial toga, which he
lately SO proudly wore, he is now in a
felon,s stripes-a convict in peniten-
tiary. How the mighty have fallen!

The Stay At-Home Woman.

She must, if success is to be hers,
throw herself heart and soul into
her husbands interests-share

And yet, knowing that being a
wife and mother mean all this.
there are yet some girls and
women who sneer at and pity the
ones who have chosen to do this
work, which they undertook when
they pledged their marriage
vows, and to do it to the best OF
their ability.
Instead of snecrlng it would be
better if each would be bride

whether she is capable of carry

Cocaine, the Agent of He'll.

That the blind tiger evil is one that IL
a great menace to this State, no one
will deny, hut the cocaine habit, while
perhaps not so extensive, is far worse.
In speaking Of this evil, Judge Wilkin-
son, in recent charge to the grand
jury, said he regarded the cocaine hab-
it as one of the most dangerous with
which the law has to combat. and de-
nounced the seller of it as ''knot on
nature and scab on humanity" 1t
crazes and perverts their perceptive
faculties so that they "see men like
stumps, horses like people, and trees
like angels.
The negro brute who few days ago
at Greenville shot eleven people and
killed four or five Of them before he
could be arrested, was no doubt a victim
Of the cocaine habit. The illegal sale
OF cocaine, as we'll as whiskey, ought to
be made penitentiary offense, in order
that it might be suppressed
Under the above caption, the Aber-
deem Examiner timely remarks:
The Aberdeen Examiner was the first
paper in America to war against the
indiscriminate sale of cocaine and to
appeal for legislation prohibiting its
sale except on medical certificate. Fail
ing to secure consideration from our leg
islaturc, we kept up the fight until gen.
orally reinforced by the press, and Ark
ansas passed the first restrictive law;
Mississippi followed and one by one the
Northern mining and manufacturing
States are falling In line. But is the
law being generally enforced? So far
as our observation goes, and we read all
published charges, our judges are not
impressing grand juries with the i'm
portance of this illumination against the
most a ~ful of all rime-breeding agen-
cies. With the introduction Of cocaine
there dawned upon the South an era of
negro Generalization and crime, that
has kept pace with the-increased con-
sumption of the helDish drug, and the
monster, as I'm the North, is making
constant inroads now upon the white
population, and opening a new field of
venal enterprise to peddiers of both
races. Unless this vile trade is arres-
ted, the negro population will be moral
ly and physically ruined and the white
race degl AIDED. Many of our judges and
reformers berate crime, but they do not
strike at the chief modern agency, an
agency a thousand times more potent,
masterful and fearful than alcohol, and
in n'many cases substituted for 1t. The
next legislature, in the interest of hu-
manity, peace and morality, and as a
barrier against crimes of the basest
character, must prohibit by heavy pen
alties the sale of this terrible drug to
any one but licensed physician or sur
geon, such sales to be made direct. Our
local druggists are observing the exist
ing law. Colored preachers are doing
their utmost to combat this evil, and to
these influencies is due the exemption
of this country from certain character
of crime that has cursed other commu-
nities.-Newton Record.

THE EARNINGS OF JOCKEYS.
Danny Makers Winnings in England
Very Much OYereSfirnated

New York, May 15.-Three Jockeys
who have earned more money at their
! profession than most of their prede-
| cessorS or successors were shown a
| printed dispatch from London today,
| In which it was stated that Danny
Maher, the American jockey, who has
ridden three Derby winners, was now
earning between 100000 and $780,
| 600 year.
All three smiled incredulously.
"If it was one-fifth of that amount
it would be much nearer the mark Z"
said Tod" Sloan; while I have never
ridden Derby winner, I have, how
ever, earned large amounts in England
and America. The most money 1 ever
received for two races was $4,000
from w. c. Whitney, for having won
the Futurity and Flatbush on BaIly-
hoo Bey in 1900. A retaining fee of
$4,000 was to be paid me to ride the
Prince of Wales horses, but I never
had chance to earn it. Another year
TWO retafners, for first and second
calls, yielded me $22, The year
that won the Futurity and Flatbush.
I earned, in all, 100000"
q. H Garrison, who was long noted
as the most successful jockey of his
day, around the early ,9Os, was paid
$12,6OO by the elder August Belmont
for first call. He earned $4,000 that
year in retainers given him by the
late Marcus Daily Mr.. Belmont and
Dr. Knapp. The late "Pittsburg Phil"
PAID Garrison 100000 for winning a
race on King Gadmus, on which the
plunger won about, 100000.
James Mclaughlin, champion lock-
ey for years, never received more than
$4,000 as a retaining fee This was
paid him by the Dwyer brothers, and
also IN another year by George Han
kins and Johnny" Campbell. when he
rode for the Chicago stable. Never
In any of his prosperous seasons did
Mclaughlin earn as much as $4,000
and he was the best jockey of his time
There is excellent authority for the as
sertion that when Danny" Maher
won the Derby on Spearmint, last
June, he received a present of $4,000

THE F1AGPoLE SNAPPED.
A Series of Mishaps in the Raising of
the Worlds Championship Pennant

Chicago, May 15.-A series of mis-
haps, commencing with the breaking of
the flag pole and ending with a furious
wind and rain storm, marred the dem
onstration at the raising of the worlds
championship baseball pennant at the
American League park here Tuesday.
Forty ball players and officials laid hold
of the halyards to haul the great 35-
foot pennant to the top of the staff
Their combined effort was too much for
the slender staff, which snapped the
cross trees. Mayor Busse, August Herr
mann, chairman of the national base
ball commission, and President johnson
of the American League. delivered
their speeches, however, and the pen
nant was declared Officially raised.
Preceding the exercises at the park
the Chicago and Washington teams
were escorted from the city hall to the
park in automobiles by all the uni
formed teams Of Chicago and vicinity.

RUDE TOUCHED FOR HIS ROLL

Chicago. May 15.-"Rube" Walden
met a stranger and was taken in. Inc
noted George Edward had story TO
ten the police after a few minutes or
charming but costly conversation with
a smooth gent, who didn't present the
good-natured "Rube'' with even the
customary brick of gold in exchange
for his bank roll of $155.
The great pitcher of the Athletlcs
was hoisting a few large ones at the
bar of a hotel inside the loop, when
the bunco boy got flash at "Rube's"
mess of green's.

''Rube" fell for the old home-folks
gag and in a minute was telling the
stranger he was under bond to pay
Mrs Waddell a few stray hundred
dollar bills, as alimony. The icon"
man said it was shame and was so
sorry to hear of that good money, go
ing to woman that he took it himself.
At least "Rube" told the police the
pleasant tallxer snagged the entire roll
Rube" says he was carrying $155
in bills of large denominations, which
would be a funny thing If his mana
ger, Connie Mack, knew it. Connie
usually pays the cratic singer in So
bills, one at a time, the rest of the
money being held out to pay the bills
as they come in from livery stables for
rigs that "Rube" engages in driving
to fires.
The police are trying to ind Rube's
lost fortune.
