SOUTH AND THE NEGRO.

From THE South and It's Problems. .
by A. W. Dimock, in the Metropolitan
Observation-Disclosures in a hotel your
waiter, who cannot read the order you
have written, will allude to the time
when he was a member of the legis-
latu"e. Your barber, If he can be in
duced to converse, may entertain you
with an account of the siege of the
capitol at Columbia by Wade Hamp-
ton, and of his own precipitate flight
when the United States troops were
withdrawn. If you chance to travel
by the mail wagon from Beaufort to
FrogmOre, the driver may mention
that he is the Honorable Hastings
CAN'T, late member of the legislature
of South Carolina, now returned to
his before-the-War occupation of driv-

with you to the church of which he
may be an elder, he is reasonably Ger
tain to tell you of the tissue ballots
with which he aided his people to null
Hfy an election and trade off the chief
executive of a nation for the govern
ment of a state.
Shiftless and indispensable as the
negro often is, yet he raises nearly
half the Gotten crop of the country

RingIings Now Are Circus Kings

me continental trip of the circus was
not what it's city dates had been and
before the return Of the circus to
\merica II was found necessary to
give another series of exhibitions i'll
london and the other large places to
supply the treasury with the neces-
sary money to get it back home. It's
previous successes here had gwen the
foreign stockholders hope that it
could come back and again go out
and make big sums annually. The
seasons away from America were
taken advantage of by the Ringlings
and when the Barnum & Bailey show
returned TO this country it found it
had been SUI planted. The Ringling5
mad invaded the east, had conquered
its big rival and the Barnum show
was then looked upon as a lesser
craving card than the Ringlings. The
gold and glitter, and the dash of the
,oung ives, erners had won the east
and thereafter the Barnum show had
a hard run. The illness of James A.
Bailey also took from the enterprise
one of its mainstays and in 1906,
when he passed away, it was general
" conceded the life of the enter
prise had also gone out Since then
the seasons have not been profitable;
the management in some way had not
been able to keep up the old pace
and it was only question of time
when it would be necessary TO make
a change. All this time the Ring
lings were keeping watch and when
the line came a bid was made, and
while it is far below what was ex-
pected, it has been found to be- the
best and the sale will be made at
once Just what the new owners
will do is question. but 1t is GER

allowed to lose any Of it's exciting

RARE EFFIGY MOUND

the barn at the end off-Merrill farm
house. The longest of the linear
mounds is nearly $50 feet in length.
ALI are about feet high and some Ii
feet wide.
The greatest interest is perhaps
aroused by the efRgies, of which there
are nine in the group. Three of these
represent birds. five are bear efigies.
and one is of the panther type. The
two last named types are rather COM
mon in this part of Wisconsin. Two
of tne birds are of the common.
straight. winged kind.
But the other bird is of the accom-
panying cut the form suggests a
goose in fight. This efagy lies near
aear the crest of the ridge at a point
about Is rods northwest of the old
Darn. The wing spread is 200 feet and
he length of body, neck and head Is
1913 feet All parts are well formed
With outlines still fully preserved.
The body is about 2 feet In height.
This is a noble specimen.
A. B. Stout, an enthusiastic archae-
1logist, thinks it doubtful If there ex-
lists an eff1gy of this type In a better
state Of preservation and at the same
time In location more suitable for
permanent preservation. It lies close
to pleasure driveway and might be
made an object of rare popular inter
est. Mr.. Stout's idea Is that tract
large enough to include the mound
should be secured and made part
Of the park system. An acre of ground
would be enough TO embrace the
efigy, but little more would be
needed to unite this reservation TO
the drive.
Mr.. Stout firmly believes that in
the vicinity of this group there is a
village site still indicated by flint
chips, broken pottery and other re-
mains OF Indian life.-Madison Demo

WAYS TO COOK vENISoN.
Here Are Recipes for Preparing
Steaks, Outlets and Stews,

Here Are Recipes for Preparing
Steaks, Outlets and Stews.
This is the venison season and as
the days are all too few in which we
can buy and eat the deer flesh without
violating the game laws, it behooyes
US now to partake of this meat as
freely and as frequently as opportunity
offers, says the New York Times. AS
there is practically no part of a deer
that is not good to eat, If properly
cooked, the choice of the dinner
ranges from steak to outlet and from
roast to stew. For a venison stew
take three or four pounds of yenison
and cut it into pieces that are not too
small. Melt some butter in a sauce.
pan and fry the meat for a few min
utes, or until 1t is Drowned slightly.
then put it into the stewpct with a lit
tie more than enough cold water to
cover 1t. Add eight or ten onions,
halYlng or quartering them if they are
too large, and seasoned with both salt
and celery salt. Don't let the meat
cook too quickly, but when it is ten
der-it should take a couple of hours
add half a dozen picked waInuts
that have already been mashed to a
pulp and about two tablespoonfuls of
mushroom catsup. Thicker with
flour and serve.
In preparing vensison steak for the
table have the meat cut thick-an inch
q ho1 10 80
like 1t thicker. Let it lie in a cool
place, but not actually on ice. for
tWenty-four hours. When ready to
cook heat an irons skillet until it is al
most red hot, put the steak upon it
and after it has broiled for two min
utes On one side turn it and cook it on
the other side. At the expiration of
the four minutes reduce the heat.
grease the skillet literally with butter
and let the steak cook slowly for fif-
teen Or twenty minutes, according to
its thickness. In serving use no sea-
soning but ordinary pepper and salt.
unless little more butter should be
needed.
Although venisOn outlets are also
good when cooked in this way, Wal
lace Irwin recommended another
method of preparing them. He trims
the outlets, puts them In an earthen
dish and covers them with a specially
prepared marinade. After they have
been I'm this for twenty-four hours
they are wiped dry, larded and broiled
over brisk fire. To prepare the
marinade Mr.. Irwin takes four table
spoonfuls of vinegar, the same guam
tity of claret, one small chopped on
ion, two bayleaves, four cloves, a
blade of mace and two sprigs of pars-
ley to each pound of meat. This mix
ture Is then put over the fire and as
soon as it comes to the boiling point
is poured over the venison.

The Ideal Minister.

AS the touch of genius lifts the
master above the mere musician, SO
this sense of the Unseen lifts the
Ideal Minister above the mere
preacher of sermons. 1t is the In
vestiture of a priesthood verified not
by tradition, but by experience. It Is
immediacy of access to the eternal
fountains of salvation. He lives
among men as one of them, simple,
unselfish, human, hopeful; yet they
know that he walks with God
And by the vision splendid
Is on his way attended"
He is a soldier, but criticism has
never violated that shrine of the
spirit where the pure in heart see
God. The unfading neWness of ever
lasting truth gives to his speech the
freshness of 3pringtime. The IN
searchable mystery Of Infinite Holt
ness gives to his thought and conduct
gravity and reserve, as one who has
beheld things which it is not possible
for a man to utter. The demands of
social service have not stamped him
with the professionalism of a re-
former. The ardor of churchmanship
has not made him an eccIesiastic.
He remains a prophet of the Highest.
When he speaks, men feel that he is
standing on holy ground. When he
prays, men perceive that he is pros
trating himself before the Risen

The Jordans lived on a fruit ranch
situated six miles from Lansing.
Michigan The house. which was sew
eral rods from the main road was
handsomely backed by a clump of
| oak trees, while the front yard was
marked off in winding walks and
drives that led down to a ripping

| the help on the place as they had
the best of products at their disposal.
Yet for some reason, the truth of

Molly Jane, and Bertha and many

with an excuse of inconsistencies or

Thus Mrs. Jordan was always looking
for help, and poor old Prince spent
hours between the employment bU-
reau and the Jordan residence.
1t is said that in every house there
is a skeleton in the closet but nothing
of that sort was ever discovered
about this ranch. There was, however,
a member of the family that was
neither mute, idiot nor a possessor Of
the highest intellect. This was Jack
Jordan and he was at the bottom Of
the whole disturbance.

nearly as tall as boy of six. He

the crew.
No mention Of the papers Of the
navy would be complete without ref
erence to the monthly issued, at the
Naval Training Station, Newport, r. I.
This paper is called the Blue-Jacket
1t is edited by Fred ]. Buenzle, chief
yeoman, u. S. N. This paper has a
circulation of about ten thousand and
goes all over the world It has cor
respondents on nearly all of the big
ships and contains more news of gen
eral interest to the enlisted men than
any other paper on earth The
whole trend of the editorial policy of
the Blue-Jacket is in accord with it's
motto: "The highest standard Of man
hood will make the finest navy" The
navy department thinks so well OF
the Blue-Jacket that this paper is fur
nished to enlistment parties for gra-
tuitous distribution to prospective re-
cruits in order to acquaint them with
the navy.
Editor Buenzle is best known to
the public generally as the plaintiff
in the action brought against the
Newport Amusement company for at
tempting to debar them from their
place Of amusement because he wore
the uniform of a blueiacket. This
lawsuit is the one in which Buenzle's
counsel fee was paid from a fund
contributed by officers and men of
the navy and to which President
Roosevelt sent a check for 500.
