stock. Indeed, it is only Of recent years
that Cape Cod has felt the encroaching
effect Of modernity. From this sea-washed
stretch of land the early Yankees sailed
forth to cover the world of trade with their
fleet of clipper ships, just as their forbears
did from the tight little island" on the
opposite side of the Atlantic.
These original Yankees took to the sea
ike young ducks, almost as soon as they
were able to leave their mothers wing,
They manned and differed the little home
built merchantmen which sailed from Bos-
ton and the New England ports in the
colonial days. The infant navy of the col
onies in the revolution was alive with them
in every sense of the word. During the
war of 1912 scarcely an able-bodied man
remained in a cape village; young and old
they were afloat, either in the regular SER
vice or on privateers, to harass the British
flag on the high seas.
Thereafter, from the close of that con-

late seventies, wherever an American ship

Then they maintained, some Of them, Of

home laden. The foundations of some of
Americas greatest fortunes were made in
this way.
But whether fleet owners or mere sea
captains, they one and all cherished a love
for the sturdy sand spit which had been
their home and intended some day to re-
turn to it and settle down. hat they did
this the hundreds of handsome, substan-
tial dwellings on the cape now testify. 1t
Is a curious fact that in the old days there
was scarcely a house on the main street of
a Cape Cod village which was not the home

That was Yankeedom as it used to be.

AFRICANS ARE NOT LAZY
Our Ideas About q Race and Their
Continent Based on Misleading
Information,

DR.. Blyden, the learned African publ
cist, resents the charge that the native
African is lazy and needs a lot of wives
to work for him. He says that a hun
dred steamers are constantly visiting the
African coasts to take away the produce
the native has created, not by the help
or supervision of the white man. Steamers,
he says, do not lie in west African ports
for days landing cargo as presents to
worthless men who give nothing in return.
Any one who reads the newspapers now
published in tropical Africa knows that
there is good foundation for DR.. Blyden's
protest. The old conundrum, will the
native African work? is out Of date. We
read that in southern Togo the natives
have raised 1900 tons of maize for ex-
port and sold It at a price so cheap that
IN spite Of land transport to the sea and
the long ocean journey the grain COM
petes with northern maize in the European
market.
The native planters Of southern Nigeria
raised only 800 bales of cotton in 1909, but
the crop grew to 5000 bales in 1906, and
the prediction is that in two years moro
they will be producing 1000 bales. The
statistics of the British gold coast show
that in 1900 the value of the cacao grown
on native plantations was $12S, 900 and
that In 1906 the native crop was sold for
more than 81 ,OOO.OOo
According to the Deutsch O~stafrikanische
Zeitung the native coffee plantations In
German East Africa, without the invest
ment of a dollar of European capital, are
producing a third of the total crop. The
blacks along the German coast of Victoria
Nyanza in 1906 brought to the two ship
ping ports OF Musnga and BukOba on the
lake ninety-six tons OF rice, 2,S17 tons Of
peanuts, $50 tons Of hides. 100 tons of wax
and other products worth altogether s796, OOO,
and these native products were sent over
the Uganda railroad to the sea for export
to Europe.
It takes downright hard work and plenty
of it to raise such crops and carry them
to market. A great maly of cur Ideas
| about Africans and their contentment have
been very crude and misleading. Not long
ago the Germans were talking Of the need
OF a compulsory labor law in German East
Africa, but today we are told that the
natives are coming scores Of miles TO
apply for work on the extension Of the

OUTSIDERS SUSPICIOUS
 OF SHOCK MOVEMENT
There Was Too Much of an Inside
 Force Berind r..

New York, March 2S.-The stock market today showed quite plainly an attempt 70 keep up prices which had been persistent during the week in the face of some natural tendency toward reaction growing out of a disposi- tion to take profits. Considerable ad- vance had already been achieved since the rise set in. Metal industrials, es- pecially those connected with the cop per industry, were especially vulnera- ble owing to the sympathetic relation they are supposed to bear to the ex- ploitation of a new mining stock in the curb market. There was a recur- renee of a sharp pressure on Union Pacific. The nature of the selling of steel made an appeal to the reaction ary sentiment owing to suspicious that the selling came from informed influ- ential sources. Moderate resistance was shown at times. some support centering on Northern Pacific. The passage of the Aldrich bill made a good impression. The last prices were not far from the lowest. Bonds were firm.

 WITH DESIGNS
Against General BuIkIey
 Wells of Colorado
They Succeeded Only In Blowing Him Out of Bed.

Telluride, March 2S.-Eluding the night guard stationed at the Smuggler Union mine at Pandora two miles south of Telluride and the searchlight constantly thrown about the premises during night from high tower on the mill as a precautionary measure, an unknown person gained access to the residence of General Bulkely Wells, general manager of the Smuggler Un- ion Mining company last night and planted dynamite under his bed. The dynamite was exploded by igniting a fuse outside the building about ? o'clock this morning when the intended victim was asleep. He was hurled against the ceiling and alighted under a mass of debris escaped with some scratches and bruises and impaired hearing.
 Although q systematic search has been made by Sheriff Fitzpatrick and his deputies, aided by hundreds Of citi- ZenS, no clew has been found to the perpetrator of the deed. One man charged with having said that Wells should be killed has been arrested on suspicion. In the same building where an attempt on General Manager Wells was made. six years ago Arthur L. Collins, the predecessor of General Wells as general manager, was assas- sinated while playing game of cards with a number of friends in the night. The man who murdered Collins fired load of heavy buckshot through a window into his back Steve Adams. Harry Orchards alleged aecomplice in the murder of eX-Governor Steunen- berg of Idaho. now in jail at Telluride. will soon be placed on trial on charge of murdering Collins.
 General Wells was chiefly respon- sible for Adams being brought back to Colorado on the charge.

Suddenly an order to clear of them mounted, charged The jeering and hoOting crowds, arriving in time to drive them back to the streets of the square circling the park In the wide streets the crowds, fast assuming the nature of the mob, fell into an indif- ferent formation and marched about the square. Having cleared the park of all but a few apparently harmless men who occupied benches the police contented themselves with keeping the paraders moving. Encouraged, the procession grew and shouts of derision and oaths directed at the police filled the air. Then as though by prear- engagement the strains of Marseillaise rose from ten thousand throats. The police hastily reinforced held them selves in restraint. Captain ReiIly's squad which had been stationed on the east side of the square. started at double quick pace two abreast across the park.
 As the squad neared the fountain that marked the center of the recrea- ton grounds a slightly built man dart ed from the shadow cast by the statue of George Washington and ran toward the officers whose backs were turned to the pursuer. A large man kept at the others heels. Within twen- ty paces of the moving squad the two halted and the smaller raised his hand in which he clasped a smoking bomb. Even as he drew back his arm to throw the weapon it exploded. A shock that shook the sky scrapers about the square threw a score of people to the ground. Then the assassin and his companion fell, the latter dead with his breast torn out. The bomb thrower
